Each certain that he knows the place
Where he reveals his presence fair,
The matches beauty Of his face.
And 80 again travel Ger,
In ever vain and fruitless search.
The barren fields where oft before
sought in vain the one true CHURCH
The Christ which here demands my vow
Is not the one which there appears;
These to a shape of terror bow,
Those have their images oil lear.
And ever where the creeds abide,
And where the priestly foot has trod,
find more faith in one who died
Than in the everything God.
Forget, my SOUL the noisy street,
The priest that mumbles at his shrine:
For thee the scholars calm retreat,
For thee the Christ of critics fine.
Alas! the wise men do not kneel
To-day, as in the days OF old.
And at the self-same altar yield
Their gifts more precious far than gold.
One says that Matthew's simple tale
Contains the image that seek;
Another, that cannot fail
To find him where the mystic Greek,
Incarnate in the mind of John,
Made strange the great Apostles speech,
And placed the well-beloved Son
For ever out of human reach.
Another thinks with glorious Paul
That Christ spirit was-a life;
That charity is more than all,
And worse than vanity the strife.
OF those that cry, 81 am of Paul!''
And these that shout, "Of Cephas I!'
Forgetting that we stand or fall
By faith in love as God most high.
And still another thinks that he
The Christ of the Apocalypse,
Returning out of heaven, shall see,
With vengeance breathing from His lips
The one true Christ seek in vain;
The Church of now, the Bible old,
Are dumb in answer to my pain;
The Fathers hearts have long been cold.
But, in his written words, see
Great Origen his forehead lean
Upon Christ that cannot be
The Christ that haunted Augustine.
Then speaks my heart within my breast,
Which from the first had made its moan
That should be SO i'll at rest,
And feel myself SO much alone:
ssWhy longer urge thy fruitless search?
The one true Christ thou shalt not find
Until thou seek him in his church,
ALI beautiful, within thy mind.

He dwelleth ever more within;
The harmonies of heaven roll
For him whose life is free from sin.
'Be free from foolish hates and fears,
The love of ease, the love of pelf,
And all the Christs of all the years
Shall lead thee nearer to thyselt.

Awaits thee in no distant land;
Thy deepest mood shall ever be
By thee obeyed as Gods command.

Such is the nature of thy quest;

THE PREVALENCE OF CRIME DEMAND
ING PLyBLIC ATTENTION.

II would seem that the human family is
destined to remain in about the same moral
condition, without regard to the intellec-
tual advancement made by the nations, and
that neither civilization nor culture avail to
overcome the ever-apparent tendency to
crime. As a general proposition it is no
doubt true that the frequency of crime is to
n considerable extent dependent upon the
social condition of people, but il is no less
true that the most shocking exhibitions of
depravity often have their scene in the
midst of what have been supposed to be the
very centres Of refinement and knowledge,
and are participated in by persons of hith-
erto spotless regulations.
1t is not the infreguency of crime that
marks the progress of the race in the higher
attainments of virtue and excellence, but
the methods and degrees of punishment
adopted for its suppression; and experience
teaches that success has attended the efforts
| Of government in this direction in inverse
| proportion to the amount of severity In the
penalty denounced by the low. Under the
| theocratic polity Of the Hebrews and the
| earlier nations, where almost every species
of onenses was punished by death, the
greatest immortality prevailed, and crime
| seemed to increase with the baptism of
blood, and spread with the story of its expia-
tiOn. So, under the Draconian code, where
every Offense Of which the law took notice
was punishable with DEATH the spirit of re-
taliation and revenge never went unappeased,
and every injury demanded victim
Later, when milder systems Of punishment
Were introduced, crime sensibly diminished
and the world rested as well from the
, violence of the mob as from the terrors of
the execution.
In the days of BLACKSTONE, when one
hundred and sixty oticnses were punishable
with death to two at the present time, Eng
land was n turbulent country compared
with the Britain of to-day. Hence extreme
penalties do not appear to have warrant in
the records of history, as furnishing guar
anty against the assaults of the vicious,
and the great social question Of the future,
US in the past, is the proper means for the
prevention of crime. 1t is the theory of
many that TO tamilinrize the popular mind
with the details Of crime Is to brutulzc
il, and that the butchery OF
executions is equally dem0mlizing
in its effect; and this view has clear
support in history. Yet it is said that in
some of our own States, where capital pun
ishment had been abolished, the increase of
crime compelled its re-enActmcnt, and that
the only security is shown to he in the hr
fdiioaH. But however this may be, it is
plain that the terrors of the law have had
very little restraining influence upon the
evil disposed IN the States whcro the death
