rao1 shadows from lights now gonei
~ +he echoes of voices sounding,
All sounding for me alone;
And blending among the others,
One echo is softer yet;
one shadow is cooler, deeper;
a And my dimming eyes grow wet.
For the image I gaze on longest

1bc angel that it my journey
With her Lamp of lows and truth;
We travelled LIES way together
4 little while side by side;
AID. whom l grew faint or weary,
That light was my strength and guide.
Ard 6carer it grew-how doarer!
Till watched it wane and fade:
And my angel said Us We parted,
Be patient, be not afraid;
And when am sick and weary
with the heat and dust of the day,
How the sense Of her words comes o'es nc
Her words ere she went away.
And I esk for u patient wisdom,
As tourney the way alone;
vil tread on the golden Threshold
OF the heaven where she is gone;
When the children are hushed N the nursery,
And the swallow sleeps in the caves,
And the night wind Is marmuring secrets
Apart to the listening leaves.

GOLDE SHEAvES.

Fife hath its faithless days,
The golden promise of Inc morn
.That seemed for light and gladness born,
Meaat only noontide wreak and scorn,
flushed harp instead Of praise.
-Idleness is the sepulchre Of q living man.
They live ill who always think of liv-
ing.
He who cannot see well should go,
softly.
Hope travels through, nor quits us whena
we de-
The street is full of humiliations to the
proud.
Prayer is a sincere, sensible affection
ate pouring out OF the soul to God through.
Christ, lii the strength and assistance Of the
Spirit, for such things as God has promised.
The highest respect which an author
can possibly show the public is not by
gratifying it's expectations, but by offering
what he himself at various times may 0
sideruseful and appropriate to the stages Of
culture attained by himself. and.others.
God works through men, The gospel
was first wrought into chosen men,, and
thus became a power to- save other tnen..
Christ was the life, the gospel, IN his own
person, and incarnated that gospel in apos-
ties and repeats the incarnation in succession
No one can preach the gospel unless he has
made it u personal life in his own soul. Doc
trinc is the mere anatomy of the gospel :
lite is the real power that renders all meu--
tai power, knowledge and truth, effective
Lack Of lite is the great weakness Of puipitsN
and peWs. There is an immenss amount
of knowledge, sincerity, generous intent
and patient drudgery, bat the fire is low, in
piration feeble. There is a desire to do
81 mighty works. but few get hold Of he
power. The way seems obscure prayera
and aongings bring on enduement, and fainf
ness %strifles many souls. What can they
do? When the "power of Christ y is dear

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.


Young ladies, the new shade is antique
purple" 1t is about the tint OF an election
eye two days old.
The Italian universities have never en-
cludcd women. Centuries ago they evef1-
elected them professors.
Mrs. r. Worcester of Grafton, Mass,
has been awarded the irst premium for the
best committee report at the fair of the
Worcester SOUTHEAST Agricultural Society.
Mr.. Caleb Cushing, say the admireing
people of Newburyport, can hardly return
to Spain, because his professional services
are so frantieafEy demanded by the litigious.
Mrs. Rose Hawthorne Lathrop, Haw-
thorne's small, fair-haired daughter, has taken

-"Pray, Mr.. Professor, what Is q per-
phrasis ~ " Madame, it is simply q circum-.
~locutory and plenastic cycle of oratorical,
sonorosity, circumscribing an atom of ideal
ity, lost in a verbal prcfundity." "Thank
you, SIR"
The local editor on the Burlington,
Ha,okeye reports. that " the false alarm Of
fire on Columbia street yesterday afternoon
was caused by q young lady with cardinal
red stockings falling out Of the, back seat Of

WHAT constitutes true loveliness? Not
bhe polished brow the gaudy dress, nor the
show and parade of fashionable life. A wo-
man may have all the Outward marks Of
beauty, and yet not possess a lovely charae-
ter. 1t is the benevolent disposition, the
kind act and the Christian department. It
is in the heart, where meekness,- truth, af
r lection, humility, are found, where we look
. for loveliness nor do we look in vain. The
, woman who can sooth the aching heart,
smooth the wrinkled brow, alleviate the an
gnish of the mind, and pour the balm OF
consolation in the wounded Breast, pos
. sesses, in an eminent degree, true loneliness

JOHN BUNYAN.

The history Of John Bunyan, author of

is the history ola most excitable

his biograpilers he has been treated with !
gross injustice. They have represented him
as an abandoned wretch, reclaimed by !
means almost miraculous; or. to use their
iavorite metaphor, "as a brand plucked
from the burning" Mr.. lviney called him
g the depraved Bunyan" and the wicked
tinker of Elston." But it is quite clear that
Hunyan never was a vicious man. He mar
ricd very early, and he solemnly declared
that he was strictly faithful to his wife. He
does not appear to have been a drunkard.
He owns, indeed, that, when a boy. he new
er spoke without an oath. But a single adj
mention cured him of this bad habit for
life, and the cure must have been wrought
early. 1t is quite clear that, from a very
early age, Bnnyan was a man of a strict life
and of q tender conscience.
Those horrible internal conflicts which
Bunyan has described with so much power Of
language in the greatest of his works, prove
not that he is a worse man than his neigh
bors, but that his mind was constantly oc-
cupied By religious considerations--that his
fervor exceeded his knowledge, and that his
Imagination exercised despotic power over
his body and mind.
The style of Bunyan IS delightful to every
reader, and Invaluable as 2 study TO every
person who wishes to obtain a wide com
mand over the English language. The vo-
cabulary is the vocabulary of the common
people. There is not an expression, if we
except a few technical terms of theology,
which would puzzle the rudest peasant. We
