How Can We See God.

Following out this thought an elo-
quent writer observes with great
force and beauty: ave live not only
in a world of material facts, but also
ina spiritual world, not only in
presence of visible creation, but Of
the invisible Creator. With the ere
alton we are in contact through the
intellect But with the Creator We
are in communication only through
feeling. The presence Of God cannot
be demonstrated by pure intellect,
but must be felt in order to be prov
ed. We may count and measure the
mass Of objects presented to us in ma
ture by the intellect, but of the di-
vine essence-the infinite life that
animates the whole and every part
-the intellect alone cannot even
give an intimation. Not chemists,
astronomers, and mechanicians have
uttered the deepest things about God,
but prophets and poets. A man gets
no nearer to the divine presence
through a telescope thntl through a
microscope, and no nearer to either
than through the naked eye. He
who cannot recognize the spirit of
God in the hourly processes of nature
of his own soul will gain no help
from the diferential calculus or from
any arrangement oftelescopiclenses J"

Not n Fool.

The other morning a straight-hair-

river road, and asked the man who
was trying to start a fire, if he had
seen anything Of a lost cali.
Looking anything like your

without replying. He returned in
the course Of three hours; however,
and, taking off his coat, he said:

been thinking of what you said this
morning, and just believe You
meant suthin! If you did, just come

The bar-keepcr convinced him that

scottisi,,.anectlote,

In a very entertaing work, entitled
"reminiscences Of Scottish Life and
Character from the pen Of Dean
Ramsay, We find the following hu-
tt1urous illustrations
aSome years ago, when it was not
an uncommon thing, even in Scot
land, for challenges to be given and
accepted for insults, or supposed in
suits, an English gentleman was
entertaing q party at Inverness with
an account Of the wonders he had
seen, and the deeds he had perform
ed III India, from which he had late
" arrived. Heenlarged particularly
upon the size of the tigers he had
met With at different times in his
ttafels, and, by way of corroborating
his statements, assured the company
that he had shot one himself consid-
erable above forty feet long. A scot
tish gentleman present, whothought
these narratives father exceeded a
travellers allowed privileges, cody
said thatSno doubt those Hiete ver.
remarkable tigers, but that he could
assure the gentleman there were in
the northern part of the country some
wonderful animals, and, is dh exam
pie, he. cited the'existence Of a skate
fish captured off Tburso. exceeding
half an acre in extent The Eng
lisman saw this.was intended as a
sarcasm against his own story, SO he
left the room in indignation, and
sent his friend to dehand-satisfac-
tion.6r an apology from the gentle.
man who had she thought, insulted
him. The narrator Of the skate sto-
ry cody replies: @Weel, sir, gin yer
friend will take a few feet aft the
iiiengsiil9 81 His iiger, well seemlatean

skate"
