iiapplest Of the Seven.

Sunday should be the best day of all the
seven-not ushered in with ascetic form, or
heightened face, or stiff and rigid manners.
Sweetly upon the STILL Sabbath air should
float the matin hymn Of happy childhood
blending with early song Of birds, and waited
upward, with flcwery incense to Him whose
very name is love. 1t should be no day for
puzzling the half-developed brain of child
hood with gloomy creeds, to shake the simple
faith that prompts the innocent lips to say,
" Our Father" Ii should be no day to sit
upright on stiff.backed chairs, till the golden
sun should set No the birds should not be
more welcome to warble, the flowers to drink
in the air and sunlight, or the trees to toss
their little limbs, free and fetterless 4" I'm
so sorry that tomorrow is Sunday" From
whence does this sad lament issue3 From
under your roof, oh mistaken but wel-mean-
ing Christian parent from the lips of your
child, whom you compel to listen to two or
three unintelligible sermons, sandwiched be-
tween Sunday schools, and finished Of at
night fah by tedious repetitions Of creeds
aud catechisms, till sleep releases your weary
victim No wonder your child shudders,
when the minister tells him that Heaven is
one eternal Sabbath" Oh, mistaken parent
relax the oyer-strained bow-prevent the
fearful rebound, and make the Sabbath what
God designed it--not a WEAKNESS, but day
Of soul worship, the " best" and happiest day
Of all the seven,

The Expression OF Dress.

Women are more like flowers than we think.
In their dress aud adornment they express
their nature as the flowers do in their petals
and colors. Some women are like the modest
daisies and yiolets-they never look or feel
better than when dressed in morning wrap
per. Others are not themselves unless they
can flame out in gorgeous dyes like the tulip
or bush rose. Who has not seen women Just
like white lilies? We know several double
marigolds and poppies There are women fit
only for vclyets, like the dahlias others are
graceful and airy, like the azaleas. Now aud
then you see holyhocks and sunAowers.--
When women are free to dress as they like,
uncontrolled by Others, and not limited by
their circumstances, they do not fail to ex-
press their true characters, and dress becomes
a form of expression very genuine and use.

A Legend of the Holy Grail.

Once in the days when men wandered
through the world seeking that cup, made of
precious stone, holding the real blood OF
Christ, knight left England to search for the
same in distant lands. As he passed from
his door poor sufferer cried to him for help.
Absorbed in his grand hope, the knight needed
him not but went on. He wandered to the
Holy Land, fought in many wars endured
much but found not the precious cup and
at last, disappointed and detected, he returned
home. As he neared his own house the same
poor sufferer cried to him for help. What
dost thou require ~ asked the knight. The
aged man said, " Lo, | am perishing with
thirst" The knight dismounted and fastened
to fetch a cup Of water. He held the half
clad sufferer in his arms, raised his head, and
proffered the water to his parehed lips. Even
as he did so the cup sparkled into gem, aud
the knight saw in his hand-the holy grail,
flushed with the true blood of Christ and SO
wa my brothers, may wander far, and trav-
erse many realms of philosophy and theology,
to find the truth which represents the true
lfe-blood Of the noblest soul but we shall
find it only when and where we love and serve
as he did. five but give to the fainting soul
at our door a cup of water from the well of
truth, it shall fash back on US the radiance
of God. As we can save, so shall we be saw
cd. And when We are really moved by the
outcries of famished hearts and brains, as by
the wailing Of helpless babes,--when we
deeply long to be light and hope to men,
the ways Of doing so will open before us, even
as undreamed energies TO fill them full shall
be born within us.-M. d. Conway.

Content is the gift of Heaven, and not
the certain effect Of any thing upon earth
and it is as easy for Providence to convey it
without wealth as with it it being the un-
deniable prerogatiye of the first cause, that
whatsoever it does by the mediation of Sec
ond causes, it can do Immediately by itself
without them. The heavens can and do every
day derive water and refreshment upon the
earth without either pipes or conduits -
though the weakness of human industry is
forced to fly to these little assistances to com.
pass the same effects. Happiness and comfort
stream Immediately from God Himself, as
light issues from the sun, and sometimes
looks and darts itself into the meanest cor
ncrs, while it forbears to visit the largest and
the uoblest rooms. Every man is happy or
miserable, as the temper Of his mind places
him either directly under or beside the in.
fuences Of the Divine nature which en-.
tighten aud eniven the disposed mind with
secret ineffable joys, aud such as the vicious
or nnprepared mind is wholly unacquainted
with. DIR South.

The Multitude Of our Mercics.

II the ungrateful man were asked to count
up his great merces, he would mention two
or three things, aud fancy that he had COM
pleted the catalogue The most Of US, in our
ordinary moods would not require a ream Of
letter-paper to write out what we earelessly
conceive to be a comprehensive and extended
list, and when the eye is cleared with few
briny tears, straightway it sees hundred
objects which it observed not before. To the
soul, chastened by divine correction, mercies
swarm and teen where aforetiine there seemed
but few.
Take note Of this, reader jot it down
while | am newly escaped from the chamber
Of atfiction, and the impression is fresh on
me it is a great mercy to be able to change
sides when lying in bed. Did see you smile 2
! meant no pleasantly, but intended to write
sober, serious sentence Did you ever lie
a week on one side ? Did you ever try to
turn and find yourself quite helpless Did
others lift you, and by their kindness reveal
to you the miserable fact that they must lift
you back again at once into the old position ?
for, bad as it was, it was preferable to any
other DO not smile again, but listen while
| add-it Is great mercy to get one hours
sleep at night. You 60 to bed, and never
reckon upon opening your eyes again till your
seven or eight hours are over but some know
what it is, night after night to long for slum.
Der and find it not. Oh, how sweet an hour.
sleep when it has interposed between long
stretches Of pain, like span of heavens blue
between the masses Of thunder.cloud We
bless God more for those dear moments Of
repose than for whole weeks of prosperity.
What folly it is, however, to put down
few Of these benefits selected from SO many
more 1t is as though we would catalogue tn,
cattle on a thousand hills, or enumerate tn,
waves Of the ocean. The tender love which
chastses US, the gentle kindness which bruises
US, the fond affection which crushes us to tn,
ground-these We do not so readily recount
yet is there as much divine love in a smart a
in a sweet, as great depth of tenderness ii
bufteting as in consoling. We must coun
our crosses, diseases and pains, if we woulC
number up our blessings.

SILENT INTLUENcE.-We are touching our
iellow-beings on all sides They are affected
for good or for evil by what we are, by what
we say and do, even by what we think and
feel. May-aowers in the parlor breathe their
fragrance through the atmosphere. We are
each of us as silently saturating the atmos-
phere about us with the subtle aroma of our
character. In the family circle, besides and
beyond all the teaching, the daily life of each
parent and child mysteriously modifes the
life of every person in the household. The
same process on a wider scale is going on
through the community. No man livetb to
himself and no man dieth to himself. Others
are built up and Strengthened by our uncon-
scious deed and others may be wrenched out
of their places and thrown down by our un-
conscious influence.

MArERIALIsN TIE DASGER OF THE AGE.-
The great dagger ahead, the imminent peril
poising over Us all as a hawk above its prey,
ready to swoop, is materialism. Do not for
get that, in the first seventy years Of the repuh-
lies life, the lust Of gain nearly destroyed
US. Woe will be to Us all when our young
men shall see nothing heroic in business ;
when trade shall have nothing more honorable
in it, nothing to be priced more, than money
when commerce shall be only mercenary, aud
the motive which impels the capacities of the
people worthy only of tho slave trade -
Should such day ever come, beggary will be
a blessing, aud the heaviest curse felt the
curse of birth. Better not be born than to
live in such an age; better die in the cradle
like flower in the bud for life will be but
the unfolding of a poisonous principle like a
flower whose every leaf adds to the volume of
poison already in the atmosphere; and the
larger the flower the dcadier the poison for
history, if it proves nothing else, proves at
least this.-that "a nation which knows not
God shall utterly perish"
