GOLDILOCKs.
BY MRS. JOHN H. UHL.

Shall harm my Goldilocks
If i tell her she is fair
Were it better should tell her
Beauty is cruel snaref
Tell her that the Prince of Evil
Weaves some nets of yellow hair?
IF speak such shallow riddles,
She will lift her bronze-brown eyes
(Clear as summer brooks in shadow,)
Questioning with grave surprise
She will pierce my "petty maxim"
Through and through its thin disguise.
She will summon to confute me
Cloud of Witnesses, ween,
Pomp of fur, and wealth of plumage,
Lily's fairness, Roses sheen
All Gods beautiful will muster
At their comrades challenge keen.
At her prompting, they shall ask me
Why taught her to discern
Beauty for its own sweet being,
If, so late, to bid her learn
That behind the gracious Presence
Scowls truth SO harsh and stern.
Taking up the word, she'll daunt me
With her might of childish lore,
Saying: mamma, you have bid me
Count our fathers gifts all Ger
Not, like that 'unfaithful servant
Sighting any of the store:
"Surely, one good gift is beauty
His worlds full of it, you know;
By its law the fruit is rounded
And the bounteous roses grow
One may prize ones 'goldilocks,'
Since our Father made them So"
Who shall chide this childish logic?
Who PROFOUND sounder creed?
Beauty has her special charter,
But, while claiming all her need,
Cancels not that plain old maxim:
'sBeauty dwells in lovely deed"

THE RELIGION OF BUSINESS.

The sentiment that religion is some
thing essentially distinct and separate from
|life's everyday pursuits. although scarce
ly now declared or taught. still maintains
a strong hold upon the minds Of many
1t is commonly felt that while it is possi-
BILE to attain virtuous character, and live
a religious life in the midst Of life's tolls
and pleasures, it must be rather in spite
of them than by means Of them that they
have nothing in their own nature calcu-
lated to inspire the heart to spiritual good,
but that their tendency on the contrary
leads rather in an opposite direction. 1t
is assumed that daily occupations. except
ing very few, such as those of the reli-
gious teacher or author, must bring into
exercise set of powers and faculties who'll
ly distinct from those by which we culti-
vate the religious principles; and that we
thus live, as it we're, two lives. one OF bu-
siness and one of religion, each of which
prospers best by being kept apart from
the other. It is admitted that the practi-
cal pursuits Of life are not only necessary
and useful, but are the natural results of
the laws by which the world is governed,
and yet with singular Inconsistency they
are thought to have no bearing upon the
noblest designs Of Providence.
The truth is, that every pursuit which
is rightful and honest is also calculated to
develope the best human qualities. and its
tendency is rather to strengthen and ex-
pand the spirit of religion than to weaken
or contract it. That this is not always
the case is due not to the nature of the
tasks themselves, but to the violation Of
the laws which should govern their exer-.
else, and the spirit which should enter
them All toll has its grand meaning,
though it may be hidden below the sur
face. We see the laborious effort. the
monotonous process, the weary frame. but
we cannot see the spirit of love that ami
mates the toiler, as he thinks Of the wife
and children that will be sustained and
gladdened by the result of his patient la
Dor; !; we cannot discern those sweet home
affections which, though they may be
mingled with much imperfection. are yet
sacred and dear to every heart, and are at
once the handspring and the reward of
much that might otherwise be unmeaning
|drudgery.
Other occupations. united with this ele-
ment, add additional sources of improve
ment to the higher nature Of man. The
scientific discoverer, who is constantly ex-
ploring new wonders of nature. the ply
sician who studies the intricaoies of the
human frame. the philosopher who deals
with the profoundest depths Of the mind
these and many others. from the special
nature of their employments. as far. as
they appreciate and obey the true spirits
of their vocations. will be led by them to
the cultivation of those principles which
lie at the foundation Of a religious.charac-
| ter. The business Of the lawyer is often
considered especially calculated to dull his
moral sense, and to mar the purity OF, his
mind. But rightly considered. the great
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1871-05-26

duty of the legal profession is the estab-
hshment Of justice in the world. and the
maintenance of right between man and
man. If the lawyer does this. he is con-
tributing to the Righteousness of mankind
and developing his own. and while sitting
evidence, and aiding the law to form just
conclusions, if his heart be on the side Of
equity and truth, he is so far leading re-
|ligious life as surely IS justice and recti-
tude are part Of religion. The same is
true of politics. That many lawyers and
many politicians become corrupt, is not
the fault of their. vocations. but because
they fail to recognize the high and noble
duties which their positions require. and
fall below the true spirit Of their labors.
It is they who degrade their callings, not
their callings that debase them. Litera-
ture and art, the channels through which
much of the genius of the world is reveal
ed, are in their own nature pure and en-
nobling. The highest spiritual idea Of
excellence that any age possesses is en-
bodied in its paintings, its sculpture, its
books. Even in their lighter forms.
where only innocent recreation is sought,
there is nothing irreligious, but much that
draws men away from coarse pleasures TO-
those more pure and refining. The NOR
al defects that we lament are foreign ele-
ments introduced, not native to the soil.
Whatever teaches the beauty Of goodness.
or touches the heart with pure emotion, is
religious in its tendency. and only needs
embracing in its true spirit to be religious
in its results.
Such views will not lead US to revere
religion less. but rather to appreciate its
responsiveness. and to welcome agencies In
its Developments perhaps hitherto unknown
Whatever in any pursuit We find hostile
to religion, that let US purge out. and thus
purify and ennoble it. But there is so
much that is good and inspiring and ele-
vating in every. honest calling. that it is
our own fault if we do not find it out, and
let it improve and develop our characters.
1t matters less the employment we are en-
gagged in than the spirit we carry into it.
If we each study our own vocation we
shall find in it elements of moral good, ol
spiritual benefit, of religious tendency,
which, if we but recognize and are loyal
to, will ennoble our own characters. and
enable us to benefit others. But no ca.
treer, however noble or exalted it may seen
in itself, will truly bless him who follows
lit, unless he carry into it the spirit o.
truth, justice and love. Then, all bust.
ness is sacred and all life is religion

Why are Mountain Tops 80 Cold.

There is story Of a squirrel. which,
|discontented with the cold valley where
be had his home, set out to reach a noun
tain. top,s where, thought he, the climate
must be warm and genial, since the spot
is so much nearer the SUD- and great
source of heat. But oareaehihg the long
wished-for height. be found that, although
the sun shone with clearer light. yet the
cold was more intense than in the humble
home he. had left behind. He was we'll
nigh frozen to death. and quickly and
wisely resolved to return to the valley
whence he came. ...s
The process Of reasoning which led poor
squirrel into such difficulty and danger
seems correct enough. The only trouble
with it is. that, like great many fine-
spun theories, it does not agree with the
facts in the case a 'e.1 q q
How happens it, then. that the nearer
we go to the sun, the source Of heat. the
colder we find the air7 It is because the
suns rays of heat pass through transpar,
ent bodies, like air, without heating them.
The heat Of the sun passes directly down
through the air till it strikes the surface
of the earth, which is warmed by it. The
air becomes warm only by contact with
the warm earth, and the radiation of heat
from the earth. 81 Ie,ls3tt3 s.ss 80 $ 40
But why does not the mountain-top be-
come warm and impart its heat-te the sur
rounding air? The answer is that SO
great is the body of cold air aroundsit. in
comparison with its own size, and 80 con.
stantly is the air around it changed by the
strong winds which blow there. that not
enough heat can be accumulated in the air
to become sensible. -
But why does not the air, which is heat
ed by contact with the surface Of the earth
at the level of the sea, rise to the modn-
tain tops and warm them up. just the
same as the heated air in our rooms rises
to the ceiling. and make our heads warm
while our feet are cold? It does thus.rise
indeed but as it rises it also expands. be-
cause it is not SO closely pressed BY the
superintendent air So by the time it
reaches the top of Mount Washington,
what was single room full Of .oomforts-
bly, hot air has expanded to the size Of >
whole house; and. as it has received. no
more heat in it's ascent. it has become very
uncomfortably cold. The beat which was
sufficient to make it feel warm when itoc.
cupied small space becomes quite insen-
sible when it expands to . hundred. or It
may be a thousand, times the size il was
before. Its just like . moistened sponge,
from which water drops when tits squeez-
ed in the hand. but which appears quite
dry when suffered to expand at its full
size. 1880. {.
