The Marriage Altar.

have drawn for you many pic
lures of death; let me sketch for
you now brief, but bright scene
of beautiful life. 1t is the marriage
altar; a lovely female, clothed in all
the freshness of youth and surpass-
ing beauty, leans upon the arm of
him to whom she had just plighted
her faith, to whom she had just
given herself up forever. Look in
her eyes, We gloomy philosophers,
and tell me If you dare that there is
no happiness on earth. See the
trusting, heroic devotion which i'm
pels her to leave country and pa
rents for comparative stranger
She has launched her frail bark up
on a wide and stormy sea; she has
handed over her happiness and
doom for this world to another's
keeping; she has done it fearlessly,
for love whispers to her that her
chosen guardian and protector bears
manly and noble heart.
We have all read of the husband
who, in moment of hasty wrath,
said to her who but a few months
before united her faith to his: 'If
you are not satisfied with my con-
duct, go, return to your friends and
your happiness" "And will YOU
give me back that which brought
to you?" asked the despairing wife.
s'Yes," he replied, "all your wealth
shall 90 with you I coVet it not
"Alasl' she answered, 81 thought
not of my Wealth. spoke of my
maiden affection-of my buoyant
hope-of my devoted love; can you
give these back to me?'' 'fNor' said
the man throwing himself at her
feet, ''No, [ cannot restore these:
| but | will do more; Twill keep them
unsullied and unstained; l viii cher
ish them through my life, and in
my death, and never again will l
forget that l have sworn to protect
and to cheer her who gave up to me
all she held most dear" Did l not
tell you that there was poetry in q
woman's lOOk-a woman's word?-
! See 1t here! the mild, gentle reproof
of love, winning back, from its
harshness and rudeness, the stern
and unyielding temper of an angry
man. All, if creations fairer sex
only knew their strongest weapons,
how many of wedlock's fierce bat
ties would be unfought-hoW much
of unhappiness and GOODNESS would
be avoided.

INSIDE THE FOLD.


Poor heartl 80 tired with weary seeking
for the gate
That leads within the Fold,
NV arms would fain encirele thee
And guard from storms and cold,
And bring thee in again, through Him
Who IS the Way, the Truth, the Life.
Dear heart! it is not hard to reach the fold
Come in, come in, and cease thy strife.
So thou vert wont 10 wander in the pasH
Out from the straight and narrow way
Into broad fields, by side Of cooling brooks,
CulIins forbidden fruits day alter day,
And scattering one by one the fair fresh
flowers
Upon its ever changing crest,
Til like the tired child who sat beside the
limpid stream
And cast her daisies on its singing breast
Till all were gone, then shouts
Bring back my flowers, bring back my
1Owers,"-
Thou moumod'st for beauteous youth,
Aud lost, neglected hours.
Sweet one! thy night, mayhap, is dark,
Yet CnRIsT's was darker in Gethsemanei
Thy lips are bitter with the taste Of SodOm's
fruit
But His more bitter when He died for thee.
Oh bridge this ehasm of neglected hours
BY Faiths strong cable-Talisman OF
prayer.
Do this dear love for CHRIsT-the way is
there
To gather all within His Fold.
Come in, poor lamb, for love and sympathy,
Where sims dark waves nGer Ger thee
break,
And sorrows tears are wiped away,
Come inl come In!

NeaInesss

In its essence, and purely for its
own sake, neatness is found in few.
Many man is neat for appearance
sake; there is an instructive feeling
that there is power in il. When a
man consults a physician or = law
yer for the FIRST time, or comes to
rent a house or borrow money, he
will come in his best dress; n lady
will call in her carriage. a man
who means business and honesty
comes as he is, just as you will find
him in his store, his shop, his count
ing-hOuse. The most accomplished
gamblers dress well; the most enter
prising swindlers are faultlCssly
clothed, but countless multitudes
are but whiteWashed sepulehrcs.
Too many don't care so long as il

a though. an Immortality.

WhelI, in rejecting upon pleasures
that add Zest aud charm to exis-
tence, on absent friends whom we
trust to meet, on amusements which
we hope to enjoy, on anticipations
of which we expect the reality
when, in the eagerness of sanguine
aspirations and the plentitude of
desire, we paint the loved object
with unreal beauty, and feed our
minds upon baseless visions that
naturally flow from our innate de-
sire for worldly happiness, how Of
ten does the thought invade the sOi-
tude of our meditations, that these
pleasures must all end, that we meet
with the absent but to part again,
that all amusements which earth af-
fords are empty and transitory, that
anticipaiiOns which we nOurish, no
matter how warmly, bring us in
their realization not half the plea
sure with which our ardent minds
had at first clothed them, and that
finally, no matter how fondly we
may cherish the delusions of life,
death must one day mark us for its
own, and cOnsign TO its "statless
and eternal slumbers'' the hopes.
the wishes and the anticipations of
existence.
How unweIeOme such a thought
to him who can feel within him no
perceptions of immortal principle,
no assurance of a higher destiny
than that which is bounded by an
earthly existence and an earthly
tomb-who, amid the clouds that
lower and the storms that gather,
sees no end to the murky darkness
of the former, and no period TO the
horrors of the latter, save in the to-
tai humiliation of every perception
that makes US acquainted with, the
existence of both. To such life

Thomas +. Marshall's celebrated
speech at Nashville, in 1874, against
Polk, contained an alIusiOn TO Old
Hickory, then at the Hermitage,
and even at his great age inspiring
his hosts of friends, which should
not be lost. / Iquote from memory.
1t is a little irreVerent, but there is
a spice in il that shows how freely
we treated our idols years ago:
"What a career has been that Of
Andrew jackson! A career of sue
cess by brutal self-will. No imped-
iment stood in his way. IL he saw
and fancied a pretty woman, even
though she was another mans wife,
he took possession of her. If he en-
tered horse at q race he frightened
or jockeyed his competitor. If he
was opposed by an independent man,
he crushed him. lie saw the oOun-
try prosperous under the Bank of
the United States, and shattered it
from turret to foundation stone.
His rule has been ruin to this people,
his counsel full of calamity. And
now, WI hen he is approaching his
last hours, when good men are pray
ing that he may be punished for his
many misdeeds, he turns Presby-
terian and cheats the devil himself" /"

The Garden for women.


There is nothing better for wives
and daughter, physically, than to
have the care of j garden; q flower
spot If, nothing more. What is
pleasanter than to spend a portion
of every passing day in working a
mong plants and watching the
growth of shrubs, and trees, and
plants, and trees, and to
observe the opening of flowers from
day to dav as the season advances?
Then how much it adds to the en-
joyment to know that your own
hands have planted and titled them,
and have pruned and trained them
this is a pleasure that requires
neither great riches nor profound
knowledge. The wife or daughter
who loves home, and would seek
ever to make it the best place for
husband and brother, is willing to
forego some gOossiping morning
calls for the sake of having leisure
for the cultivation of plants, shrubs
and flowers. The advantages which
women personally derive from stir
ring the soil and snuffing the
morning air, are freshness and beau
ty of cheek and brightness of eye,
cheerfulness of temper, Yigor of
mind, and purity of heart. Conse-
quently she is more cheerful and
lovely as a daughter, more dignified
and WomanIy as a sister, and more
attractive and confiding as the wife.

kIndnsss Rewaraed.

When Agrippa was in a private
station, he was accused by one OF
his servants of having spoken inju-
riOusly of TiberiOus, and was con-
demned by that Emperor to be ex-
posed in chains before the palace
gate. The weather was very hot,
and Agrippa became excessively
thirsty. Seeing Thaumastus, a SER
want of Caligula, pass by him with a
pitcher of water, he called to him and
entreated leave to drink. The serv-
ant presented the pitcher with much
courtesy; and AgriPpa, having al
layed his thirst, said to him, "As-
sure thyself, Thaumastus, that if !
get out of this captivity, L will one
day pay thee well for this draught
of water" Tiberious dying, Cali
gula, his successor, soon after not
only set Agrippa at liberty, but
made him King of Judea. In this
high situation, AgrippA was not un-
mindful of the glass of water given
him when a captive. He Immediate
iy sent for Thaumastus, and made
him comptroller of his household.

CALvINIsI. IF Calvinists have
changed their style of preaching, it
is equally true with respect TO such
as are Arminians. Preachers, in
stead now of dcnouncing Calvinism,
(lalsely IsO-called, and guarding and
defending their peculiar doctrinal
views, so preach as is perfectly con-
sistcnt with true CalVinistic belief.
They represent man by nature as en-
tirely depraved; that nothing but
the renewing and sanctifying in
Auence of the Spirit can fit him for
heaven. They teach that God is the
rigbtful and universal governor and
disposer of all events, and who will
ultimately cause all things to sub
serve His own glory.

Nswspapers i'm the country.

The Chg1Stian Home says: To
know the genuine relish Of a good
newspaper, one must not read the
dailies, nor live amidst much com
pany iR cities. 1t is in tho country
and apart from much social inter-
course that ones appetite grows
sharp. The paper. is seized with
avidity from the office, is borne
home as as treasure, is there care
fully read, as one would read the
terms OF a bequest or will that left
him q treasure. Every man has
some faEorite part of fowl or flesh,
and so every habitual reader turns
at once to some favorite part of his
newspaper for the first tastes; then
to the next best, and gradually every
paragraph passes under review; and
at last the very advertisements are
conned.-Then, on the eve of q new
newspaper, the benevolent subscri-
Der lends his paper to poor neigh
Dor, and it begins another round of
pleasure. The newspaper-a win
dow through which comes to them
the whole course of time.

LIE Down AND REST.-Dr. Hall
says that the best medicine in the
world, more efficient in the cure of
disease than all the pOtencies of the
materia medica, are warmth, rest,
cleanliness and pure air. Some per-
sons make it q virtue to brave dis
ease, f'to keep up" as long as they
can move a foot or crook a finger,
and it sometimes succeeds; but in
others, the powers of life are there
by so completely exhausted that the
system has lost all ability TO recu-
perate, and slow and typhoid fever
sets in and carries the patient to pre-
mature grave. Whenever walking
or work is an effort, a warm bed or
cool room are the very first indis-
pensible TO sure and speedy recOY-
cry. Instinct leads all beasts and
birds to quietude and rest the very
moment disease or wounds assail
the system.

THE MOsT VALUABLE Horse IN
THE EWoRLD.-Mr. Bonner's colt
Startle would probably sell for more
moneyto-day than any other horse in
the. world. His time on Friday, two
nineteen and three quarters, is the
fastest trotting ever made by a stall
lion, and he is not yet quite five years
old.
Startle was sired by old Hamble-
tonian, and his dam was a Star mare,
the blood which has crossed best
with the HamiltOnian. He is re-
markably gentle in disposition, and
honest and square in his trotting.-
We suppose he would be considered
cheap to-day at one hundred thsu-
sand dollars.-Netg York Sun.

a gentleman known TO the writer
once assisted a very old and feObel
man 10 cross from the London Man
sion House to the Bank of England!
This crossing is a very dangerous
one, especially at midday, when the
city is full of cabs, omnibuses, drays
and other vehicles. When the old
gentleman had got safely across, he
exchanged cards with his Obliging
young friend, and there the matter
rested. Some four or FIVE years af-
ter this incident occurred, a firm of
London solicitors wrote TO the
young gentleman, informing him
that legacy of five thousand dollars
aud gold watch and chain had been
lett him by a gentleman, who took
the opportunity of again thanking
him in his will for an act of unlock
ed for civility. 1t is not likely that
all viii have gold watches and chains
left TO them, or neat little punches

acts of civility are productive of

A married man, falling into mis-
fortune, Is more apt TO retrieve his
situation in the world than a single
one; partly because he is more stim-
ulated to eXertiOn by the necessities
of the helpless and beloved beings
who depend on him for subsistence:
but chiefly because his spirits are
soOthed and relieved by domestic
endearments, and his selt-respect
kept alive by finding that though all
abroad is darkness and humiliation.
yet there is still a little world of love
at homo.
