towns OF the State. She has had .
good education-even better than
the average of those who fill the
teachers position among us, and when
we'll grown to womanhood she en-

to paint and finish furniture. She is

spring in the following manner =
"Spring, with dainty foot and ankle,
steps lightly over the golden line
that parts the seasons. She shivers a
little, glancing backward at the snow
and ice, and the big black rains !;
then smiles ahead at the soft air full
OF filtered gold, the singing of the
birds, the fragrance of flowers, and
new-monn hay. She is in her laugh
ing girlhood, and flls her green
apron with yellow cowslips and pale
anemones, and holds the buttercups
under her chin to see if she loves
bntter, and pulls the dairy petals
with Lovesme, Loves me not"

Lecture Room Talk.
HENRY WARD BEBCHRK.

No one can tell what would be the
thought of the composer who should
hear Beethoven's fifth symphony if 1t
were played through simply in one
part, especially if it were played on
one instrument and still more es-
pecially if it were played with great
many mistakes.
Now, the joys and benefits Of
Christian life, as they lie disclosed to
US in the New Testament, are based
upon certain suppositlons. There
are . score, as it were, of parts in it;
and men play one part, and play it
very poorly; they play upon very
poor instrument; and then they put
the question: "Why do I not real
ize what is SAID, in the New Testa-
| nent, to spring from such and such
things?"
The prime oonditisns-that sunny,
hopeful aud cheerful mood, which is
the inspiration of divine love; the
sense Of prolongation of lite in I'M
mortality; the sense OF divine prov
idence and protection-all these are
implied in the New Testsment.-
When, therefore, we undertake to
realize in ourselves certain fruits el
the Spirit-rlghteousness peace, Joy
in the Holy Ghost-and wonder
| why they do not come forth, it is be-
cause the grand primary conditions
are themselves wanting, out of which
lit is possible for these things to
spring. You cannot realize them
where pride is predominant, and
where, on the whole, it IL the ruddel
of business, and shapes your genera
course. You cannot "eather grapes
of thorns, nor figs Of thistles." You
cannot. out OF which pride is the
predominant quality, reap the fruits
Of the Spirit, which you are seeking
after. And whore love of praise II
the predominant element, you can
not express from that cluster tht
cordial and the wine which are dc
scribed in the Word Of God, ant
which every one longs tor.
