The Poet Of Nature.

Wordsworth shows us, as no other
man has done, the glory, the beauty,
the holiness Of nature he spiritualizes
for us the outward world and that
with no weak and sentimental, but with
a thoroughly manly feeling. lie al
ways insists, it has been we'll said, that
nature gives gladness to the glad, and
comfort to the sorrowful 1t is not
only that his descriptions Of nature are
SO true and so fresh, that reading him
after hard days work is like walking
out amongst the fields and hills but
that he sleeps them in an ideal hight,
that he sheds upon them
the CLEAN
The light that never was on sea T land
The consecration and the poet dream:
and that makes us feel that wonderful
connection between fiature and the soul
Of man, which is indeed mysterious,
bat which those who have felt it can
deny aud those who believe that
tie same Almighty God created both,
will not be inclined to doube. -Nuc-

The BGBLE.-Blessed be God that
there is at least one thi-g thoroughly
superhuman, supernatural in this world;
something which stands out from above
"the laws Of nature" Something visi-
bic and audible to link with Him whose
face we see not, and. whose voice we
hear not. What blank would there
be here if only this one fragment Of
the divine, now venerable both with
wisdom and age, where to disappear
from the midst Of us; or what is the
same thing, the discovery we're to be
made that this ancient volume is not
the unearthly thing which men have
deemed it. but. at the highest esti-
mate, fragment from she great block
OF human thought perhaps. aecor-
ding to another estimate, mere ref1c
of superstition .-There is but one
book, and we shall one day know this
when that which is human shall pass
away like the mists.. from some Leban-

vine to stand out and to shine out
alone in its unhidden granduer.-Hor-

therefore, greatly outnumbered by their

While deliberately loading his gun in

stroke OF huge knife, and, as he bent

and scalped him in the twinkling OF al

PARIS, November 3.-The deputies of

The Orleans princes have reiterated yer
bally the assurances that they will not
compete with each other for the throne.
The Orleans princes have united
in formal declaration that they
will not accept the lieutenancy of the king

ance of competing with Count de Cham
bord. All the factions of the Right have
consequently agreed to move aprolongation
of President McMahon's power. There is
difference of opinion as to the length of
time. Some favor making Mcmahon
president for life aud others extending his
term six or ten years.
All are determined to continue the
existence Of the present assembly. A
motion will probably be introduced post

1t is rumored that an attempt will be made
to arm the government with dictatorial
powers. similar to those granted in 1852,
and to introduce a bill prohibiting
