God ImagedIn Man.

So it ever is The true Nan is at
once Shekinah and Commentary; and
the Augustest Verities take form and
find expression not less IN what he
is than what he says. The seer as
well as what is seen, the prophet as
well as the prophecy, the messenger
as we'll as the message, the apostle
as well as the epistle, are freighted
with revelations of God. And, in
watching the ebb and flow of the
blood in lofty, devout souls, there
comes in upon one better sense of
the rhythm and meaning of the pulse
beatings of the Great Divine Heart,
By every throb Of life which has
been cast IN the mould Of the Spirit,
and by every utterance which has
leaped from his lips in answer to the
broodings and moving Of the Holy
Ghost upon a responsive nature, the
Everlasting Gates are being lifted
up, and We have a nearer and clearer
view OF the King of Glory, who waits
for faith and love, for pure heart and
the clean hand, which shall one day
usher him in. And I am sure one
cannot look on this struggling, short
lived Robertson with any penetra-
ton of vision, cannot draw near him
with sympathetic appreciation, with
out feeling that new comprehension
of the Master has been born in him
that he has, somehow, been
brought nearer to the blessed Son OF
Man, and that key has been fur
nished with which he can better IN
lock eternal secrets it holds, and get
a more vital Interpretation out OF
that old, old Story of the Cross.
Down beneath all that looks like
the simple, ordinary routine of life,
in the secret chamber, where one
stands face to face with this real
man, form appears, a voice speaks,
q radiance, shines, a presence touches
and the feeling comes here, at last, is
one whose right hand can lead very
near to the Holy of Holes Myste-
ries become less mysterious, light
grows more luminous, beauty puts on
| the grace of diviner comeiness,
love woos and warns as though it
were breath swept in from the better
land, right walks invested with the
sanction of higher authority, duty
loses sternness and passes over into
a sense of privilege and impulse, au
life grows deeper and finer, and each
fact of life swells into master proper
tions, as one walks with him and
listens to his speech; for his words
sometimes very simple and calm,
sometimes vague and hesitatin E
sometimes impe;uous aud glowing
with the holy heats of an awful inner
intensity-have somehow the high
prophetic art of falling on dull ears
and stirring sluggish souls like
echoes from the infinite and the
eternal.

The Internationals Of Spain.

Il q H..E -
The Franco AnaeTlcdn quotes from
the Paris Soir the programme Of the
| Spanish Internationals, promulgated
lately at Barcelona.
Our object, says the programme,
is the political, social, economical
and religious emancipation of all
those who are the subjects of tyran-
ny, of all who work for the benefit
of others, of all those whc receive
salaries and of all the ignorant.
To effect political emancipation
we desire:
Ist. TO abolish ali authority, no
matter by what name. known.
I'd. To proclaim the rights of the
individual, and all rights natural,
impreseriptible and inalienable.
Sd. To turn the State into a free
federation.
To attain social emancipation we
propose:
1st. To abolish nationalities.
2d. To abolish divisions by
Sd. To abolish every species of
service.
4th. To abolish all privileges.
9th. To prohibit every man from
receiving a salary from another.
9th. To declare the professions
free to all.
7th. To declare the free exchange
of products.
Sth. To declare the family free.
9th. To declare the domicile free.
To reach economical -emancipa-
ton we think it necessary:
lst. To make capital subservient
to labor and intelligence.
2d. To secure to every man the
full value of his labor.
Sd. To abolish the interest on
capital.
!, 4th. To abolish inheritance.
5th. To. declare land and the
principal working interests to be
collective property,
9th. To make the postoffice, the
telegraph, and the railroads free.
To obtain religious emancipation
we propose:
/. To make thought free.
2. To have free speech.
3. 10 free the press, the rostrum
and all other modes of propagating
ideas. sl
4, To declare conscience free and
inviolable.
5. To abolish all religious sects.
Mr.. Guerault, editor of the iSoir,
says ofthe magnificent project: cIt
Is remarkable that in all this verb
ology, the word Deity is not
mentioned once. Always rights,
never duties.

"I had heard of such adventures
before, but had never seen anything
OF the kind, so I said, what do you
think the bru'e would have done >"
" Donel' echoed my friend. Drown
ed me as dead as that poor dog there.
Poor brute! one of the best kangaroo
dogs 1 ever had. An old beastP he
exclaimed, kicking the dead body of
tde kangaroo viclously, which was,
after all, hardly to be wondered at.
He came upon me all of a sudden
hOp-hOp-hOp-and before I had
recovered from my surprise, he had
me tightly round the waist, and then
began to hop away. I hardly knew
how [ telt at first; but when the
thought struck me that he was max
ing for the water hole, the feeling
was awful, and my struggles didn't
hinder him q bit
{" "a good thing, too, I replied.
Then we only came up just IN timer
"'Only just, said my friend; and
he looked winter than ever.
Now, do you expect US to believe
all that?' broke in the thin man, as he
again winked at the company in
general But the settler was busy
relighting his cigar, which had gone
out during the narration, and he
made no reply.
"'I say, SIR said the thin man
again, do you expect US to be'ieye
that your old kangaroo would have
hoped into the water hole, and
drowned the squatter?'
"'The gentlemen present can do
as they please, sir, said the settler
with dignity; and 1 have no doubt
that you viii do the same. I leave
it en- :irely to my listeners good sense,
for the story is true.
