A Beautiful Extract.

The following beautiful extract
written by Geo. D. Prentice, contains
some wholesome truth, and is thus
beautifully set forth;
Men seldom think of the great
event of death until the shadow falls
across their own paths, hiding forey-
err from their eyes the traces of the
loved ones whose loving smile was
the sunlight of their existence
Death is the great antagonist Of life,
and the cold Thought of the tomb is
the skeleton of all feasts We do not
want to 60 through the valley, al
though the passage may lead to
Paradise, and, with Charles Lamb,
we do not want to lie down in the
muddy grave, even with kings and
princes for our bed-fellows. But the
fiat of nature is memorable. There
is no appeal or relief from the great
law which dooms us to dust. We
flourish and fade as the leaves of the
forest; and the flower that blooms
and withcrs in day has not Il frail-
err hold on life than the mightiest
monarch that ever shook the earth
with his footsteps. Generations of
men appear and vanish as the grass;
and the countless multitudes that
throng the earth to-day, will to.mor-
row disappear as the footsteps on the
shore.
In the beautiful drama of Ion, the
instict of immortality 50 eloquently
uttered by the death of the devoted
Greek, finds a deep response inevery
thoughtful soul, When about to
yield his young existence q sacrifice
to fate, his beloved Clemanthe asks
if they shall not meetagain, to which
he replies; Il have asked the dread
full question of the hills that look
eternal-of the clear streams that
flow forover-of the stars, among
whose fields of azure my raised spirit
has walked in glory. All were dumb,
But while | gaze upon thy living
face, | feel there is something in the
love that NANTES through its beau
ty that cannot wholly perish. We
shall meet again, ClemanthcP

Character.

The character of a man'slife affects
thousands besides himself. Wicked
ness cannot be kept inside OF a mans
heart any more than stencil can be
kept in the gutter when it is gener-
ated. 1t spreads abroad and mingles
with the air of the whole street, and
all who pass the spot must breathe of
its tainted odor, There is u moral
atmosphere in which we all live and
to which we all contribute some in
gredient. We spread contagion
throughit or make it pure and heal
thy. We cannot remain by ourselves
any more than the drop of water can
remain by itself when it is fallen into
a stream. We become u part of the
whole and the whole is affected by
the part. Sin is contagious, and
therefore we have no right to harbor
it in our hearts, Improprioty is a
crime not alone against ourselves,
not alone against God, but also against
mankind. The voice of the entire
race is lifted in protest against the
crime and the criminal. Every day
is a day of judgment, and the moral
sense of the whole world pronouncos
condemnation upon every man that
docth evil.
