TIE TURN OF LIFE.-Between the
years of forty and sixty, a man who has
properly regulated himself may bt con;
sdered as in the prime OF life. His ma.
tured strength OF constitution renders
himself almost impervious to the attacks
Of disease, and experience has given
soundness TO his Judgement His mind,
is resolute, firm, and equal all his tune
tions are in the highest order; he assumes
the mastery over business builds up n
competence on the foundation he has
fortified i'll early manhood, and passes
through period of life attend by many
qualifications. Having gone a year or
two past sixty, he arrives at II critical
period in the road Of existence; the
river OF death flows before him, and
he remains at stand still. But thwart
this river is viaduct, called "The Turn
Of Lite" which, if crossed in safety,
leads to valley OF Id age" round
which the river winds, and then flows
beyond without boat or causeway to
affect its passage. The brige is, how
ever, constructed of fragile materials,
and it depends upon how it is trodden
whether it bend or break. Gout, apo
pleXy, and other bad characters are also
in the vicinity to waylay the traveller,
and thrust him from the pass but let
him grid up his loins, and provide him
self with a fitting staff, and he may
trudge on in safety with perfect com
posure. 70 quit metaphor, "The Turn
OF Life is q turn either into prolonged
walk, or inth the grave. The system
and powers having reached their utmost
expansion now begin either to close like
the flowers at sunset, or brake down al
once. One injudicious stimulant, siugle
fatal excitement, may force beyond it'
strength; whilst a careful supply o
propsj and the withdrawal of all thai
tends TO force plant will sustain it il
beauty and vigor until night has entirely
set in.-1Ae Science Of life.

FoCNDERED AT SEA.-Of the ships lost nj

to rest forever between an uuilthomed depth
of water above and tttEcmless depth of wa

How PAUL ASt PETER LooKED.-It is
allowable TO mention the geiieral uotidn
Of the torms and features of the two
Apostles which has been handed down
in tradition, and was represented by the
early artists. st. Paul is set before us
as having the strongly-marked and promi-
nent features Of q jew, yet not without
some of the finer lines indicative of Greek
thought. His stature was diminutivc,
aud his body distigured by some lame
ness or distortion, which may have pro-
voked the tOiitt!hptuous expression Of
his enemy. His beard was long and
thin. His head was bald. The charac-
teristics of his face were transparent
complexion, which visibly betrayed the
quick changes of his feelings; a bright
eye, Under thlckly overhahging, united
eyebrows; II cheerful and winning eX-
preston of cOuutenancr; which invited
The approach and inspired the confidence
of strangers. 1t would be natural to
infer, from his continual journeys and
manual labor, That he was possessed OF
great strength OF constitution. But
men of delicate health have gone through
luC X lClbNSb h'o wv
words, on more than one occasion, show
ed that he suffered much in bodily health
St. Peter is repre- rtsented to us as a man
Of larger ard stronger iormS as his char
acter was harsher and more abrupt. The
quick impulses of his soul revealed them
selves III the flashes of dark eye. Th'
complexion OF his face was inll and Sal
low and the short hair, which is de
scribed as entirely gray at the time o
his death, curled black and thick rounC
his temples and his chin, when the tw'
Apostles were together at Antioch, twen
ty years before their martyrdom. BE
lievingj as We do, that these Evolutionary
pictures have probably some foundation
in truth, we gladly take them as helps Il
the imagination.

Only waiting till The shadows
Are little longer grown;
Only waiting till the glimmer
OF the days last beam is flown;
Till the night of earth has faded
From the heart once full Of day;
Till the stars Of heaven are breaking
Through the twilight soft and gray;
Only waiting ill the reapcrs
Have the last shcaf gathered home
For the summer time Ia faded
And the autumn winds haue come.
Quickly reapCrs, gather quickly
The last ripe hours of my heart,
For the bloom of life is withercd,
And hasten to depart.
Only waiting till the angels
Open wide the mystic gate,
AT whose feet long have fingered,
Weary, poor and dcsolatc.
Even now ! hear the footsteps,
And their voices, far away
If they call me, am waiting,
Only waiting to obey,
Only waiting till the shadows
Are a little longer grown;
Only waiting till the glimmrr
OF the days last beam is flown;
Then from out the catered darkness,
Holy, dcathlcss stars shall rise,
BY whose light my soul shall gladly
Tread its pathway to the skies.
