THE RESEMBLANCE.

THE RESEMBLANCE.
The objection which class of inidels hno
to the Bible, is that it is not in harmony with
the works of creation. Men of giant intel
lects and extensive mental culture, have
wasted their lives in attempting to make the
works of creation contradict the statements OF
the Bible. Had these men been as persever
ing in their efforts to discover the resemblances
which subsist between the world We inhablt
and the Bible, the results of their labors
would have been more profitable to mankind
in general, and more satisfactory to them
selves This general resemblance between
the plan of the Bible and the plan Of crea-
ton, must strike every observer In both
there is order without order. That is, there
is a similar system followed in both but 1t IS
wholly different from that order which is OBJ
served by human artist or author. No man
ever wrote book in order resembling the
Bible 1t is wholly unlike all merely human
books. There are in the Bible no definitions
few logical discussions Facts are stated in no
regular order, and no effort is made to prove
that the facts stated are facts. Really, the
Bible has no beginning and no end 1t has
no title page, no preface, no introduction, no
table of contents. In one word, no anything
that would be absolutely necessary in book
written by mere man. The same thing IS
found in the works of creation. In the ma.
terial,world there is order, grand and majestic; !;
but like the order of the Bible, it is the order
of God; not of man. Things are scattered
about with no apparent order, and yet they
do not produce confusion. The same forest
supports an almost endless variety of vegeta-
bles and animals, and beneath the surface Of
the same hill, minerals totally different in
nature, are found imbedded. There is no sat-
isfactory way to account for the resemblance
which exists between the works of creation
and the Bible, but by supposing that both are
the work of the same Being.

HE DIDN'T WANT ANY.

The other day a well-dressed stranger,
carrying hand valise, called into life in
surance office and inquired if the agent was in.
The agent came forward, rubbing his hands,
and the stranger asked:
"Do you take life insurance risks here?"
"Yes, sir; glad to see you, sir sit down, sir, ,"
replied the agent.
"What do you think of life insurance, any
way?" inquired the stranger, as he sat down
and took of his hat.
"It's national blessing, sir-an institution
which is looked upon with sovereign favor by
every man and woman in America"
That's what I've always thought" an
swered the man. "Does your company pay
its losses promptly?"
eyes, sir; yes sir. If you were insured with
me, and you should die tonight, I'd hand
your wife check within week."
"Couldn't ask for anything better than that. +"
"No, sir-no, sir. The motto ofour compa-
ny is. Prompt pay and honorable dealings
"How much will $4,000 policy cost?" in
quired the stranger, after long pause.
"You are-let's see-say thirty-6ve. A
policy on you would cost s110 the first year. 4"
THAT'S reasonable enough"
Eyes that's what we call low; "but ours is a
strong company, does safe business, and in
vests in only irst-class securities. If you are
thinking of taking out policy, let me tell you
that ours is the best and safest, and even the
agents of rival companies will admit the truth
Of what 1 say"
"And when 1 die my wife will get her mon
ey without any trouble"
"I'll guarantee that my dear sir''
"And III get dividend every year?
"Yes this is mutual company, and part Of
the profits come back to the policy holders"
"And it won't cost me but s11O for policy
of s5OOO?"
"Thats the figure, and it's as low as you
can get safe insurance anywhere. Let me
write you out policy. You'll never regret it. ,
"Them's the blanks, s'pose," said the
stranger, pointing to the desk.
eyes," replied the agent, as he hauled one
up to him and took up his pen: "What dc
you say-shall fill out an application2'
"No, guess l won't take any to-day" re
piled the stranger as he unlocked his valise
"but if you want something that will take thai
wart off your nose inside Of week, I've go
it here. It's good for corns, bunions, tooth
ache, earache, sprains-"
He was placing his little bottle on the ta
BILE, when the agent reached over and took
him by the shoulder, and hoarsely whispered
"Mister man, if you don't want to become 6
corpse, you won't be two minutes getting ou
of herew And he wasn't.

The PILoT.-That was brave, noble pi-
lot, who some years ago, on Lake Erie, when
the steamer was discovered to be on fire, near
half score of miles from the shore, turned
her bow to the nearest land, and stood at his
post until the flames wrapped him round in
lurid light. The passengers were frantic with
alarm. The officers we're bewildered by the
tumult. But his eye was fixed through blaze
and smoke upon the land, and he stood firm
at the helm, until the garments fell in clnders
from his body. "John Brainard," cried the
captain from below, "can you hold on five
minutes longer~ "I'll try, sir" was the re-
ply. He stood there determined to die at his
post rather than attempt to save himself at
the peril of the passengers. He clung to the
wheel until his sinews cracked, and the bones
of his right arm were laid bare by the ire,
and then with foot and left arm held the ship
to shore, and perished in his place, just as the
rescued people leaped from the wreck to the
land Who would not honor such a hero
Who would not trust in such man His
was greater achievement than that Of Wei
lington at Waterloo; greater than any victory
that carnal conquerors ever won.

For tho VERMONT FARMER.
Home Joys of the Farmer.

In noticing the eDjoyments which the
farmer finds at homo, he is supposed to be a
true farmer, one who loves his business, the
farmer who is not afraid to earn the sup.
port Of himself and family by the sweat of
his brow. An Indifferent aud easy-going
farmer is not supposed to enjoy very well
the little triaes, cares, and incidents, which
go to make up a farmers life, The true
farmer always takes an interest in each
little scene, each commonplace affair, how
ever triAiug, that occurs in every day life.
In the sugar season how he loves to
gather in the delicious liquid, and then to
see it seething and fOaming in the iron pan.
Every now and then he adds a stick to the
blazing fire and the foaming mass leaps and
boils with renewed energy, giving the farmer
foretaste of the Si0eetS to come. If, per-
chance, he is driven to consume part or the
whole of the night in this employment, he
watches the CHEEKY fire and lives over again
the scenes which happened in his younger
days when he, with others, ate the candied
sugar from off tin pans Of shining snow, or
conversed in low and gentle whispers as he
wended his way home from the sugar party.
With caring for his AOcks and herds, and
tending their young, his hands are busy us
the spring approaches. What pride he
takes in having them all look well how he
loves to watch the growth Of the young
calves and ambkins, to watch the feeble and
tendedly nurse them up to strength and
beauty. As he fills the pals with frothing
milk he secs the joys of farmers favOrite
draught, and, perhaps, ere long he tastes it
itmay be, too, he sees the greonbacks fill
ing well-wOrn purse. His horses contrib
ute their share toward his enjoyment
What sleek looking creatures See how
they prance and arch their necks Well
may he take pride in being the owner of
such fine animals. If he wishes TO sell his
three-year-old colt, it needs no recommenda-
tiOn from his lips to effect ready sale it
recommends itself If he has been "o6'' he
