Motion and Thought.

Sir Arthur Helps said that sometimes,
in a rapid ride on horseback; it seems as
though the impetus you had get from the
swiftly creature you bestrode
helped you through difficulty in which
you had been eniangled ana detained.
Physical movement may sometimes tell
upon sluggish mind. l have heard of a
very dull and dreary preacher, the kind
Of orator 10 whom no one would willing.
" listen q second time, who on several
occasions had to drive in great haste from
one church to another to take duty, and
who. at the second church, entering the
pulpit while still retaining something of
the momentum of the open trap, aston
ished everybody By preaching with no
small degree Of hYeliness, or what is
sometimes expIessiveiy called go. The
force Of circumstances constrained my
friend Smith, at one period Of his life, to
be present good many times when that
dismal orator hald forth. But Smith
assures me that on every such occasion
the preacher bad plainly not arrived ia
any rapid vehicle; and Smith likewise
declares that not an express train merely,
but cannon ball, or even comet, would
be needful to neutralize the awful inertia
of the good mans letharglc nature. No
less a speed could add to the preacher
the needful impetus which nature had
denied him.-FrGser's Magazine.

Social Culture.

1t has been the fashion to complain Of
the dreary isolation of dwellGrs i'll rural
localities. But the complaints have been
made most frequency by those who are
entire strangers to the matters upon
which they write so freely. Country
folks are in general so fully occupied
with affairs that they have no time to dis
cover how lonesome they really are. So
far as this is concerned we think it a
misfortune. We are too busy. We work
too hard. We take few or no holidays.
We read and think too little, and do not
spend sufficient time in social culture
There is no reason why those who pillow
the soil, or "whose talk Is or bullocks, J"
should not experience the relinements
which are the result of formal social life.
In business. at bargains, in pursuit of
dollars, n man is seen at his best. lie is
thorry, spiny, with his back UP as a
porcupinc might be at his business. Let
one doff his working clothes and enter a
room full of his neighbors---mcn, women,
young men and maidens-and he is
man of another kind. He naturally falls
into the ways of an intuitive kindness,
which IS really the truest politeness, the
doing to his companion what he would
that he should do to him. He "lets him
self out" to please, and, after an evening
spent in social converse, he retires with
many rough corners and asperities toned
down. For few day the influence re-
mains. 1t would be permanent if it
could be reinforced now and then, and
the good results would be most agreeable
and useful.
There is no difficulty in bringing these
good influences to bear. Two or three
persons, with energy and some magnet
ism about them, can put them in motion
with ease. Now is the time to begin the
effort. A book club is one excellent
means to effect 1t. A mutual improve
ment ASSOCIATION is another. These two
naturally grow out of, and belong to
each other. They are quite enough for
beginning. Let dozen persons, or less
or more, each name a book or magazine
and subscribe the money to purchase
them. Each of these books is made to
60 the rounds of the members; so that
for the price of one book each member
has the reading of several, and, at the
end, may possess this book permanently;
or, sold and the money applied to the
purchase of new ones. Every week let
these people meet, and talk over and
discuss some question of interest to them
all, which one has made a special study
for the purpose of introducing it. Or let
those who have a taste for it, entertain
the others with a reading of selections,
poems or well chosen drama or play.
The book club and the improvement
association are then started, and once
the ice is broken, will float along smooth
II and pleasantly.

For Conscience Sake.

\ shadow fell across the dawn,
Dimming its light,
Nor faded off where rose the morn
In power and might;
But heightened to a cross, earth born,
Ere fell the night.
Through all the dawn no friendly hand
Lay clasped in mine;
No kindly word to help me stand
In mornings prime;
But with the eve stole through the land
A voice divine:
"Be still, brave heart! the upland way
You have 70 take,
The shadows drear that strew the way,
More fitting make
For heaven: press on, and otter pray
For conscience sake
A second dawn on which there fell
No shadow cold;
Ger each good deed voice sang well
Sweet words of old:
The cross its rays-why? / can't tell
Flung naught but gold.

the lady had fully authorized him to publish
the statement, but as to her motive, or the
real truth of the matter, he knew nothing.
Thus the matter is left in entire mystery,
and the knowing ones know no more now
than they did, since Miss Hazleton has filed
her denial. 1t may be stated that Miss
Hazleton is, or at least has been for some
time, tho acknowledged belle of st. Louis.
Her father is or was leather merchant, who
about two months ago failed for 100000.

that Miss Hazleton would never wed as

can all stand on this there is no hope Or asplra-
ton for our country, we may not indulge in
peace. plenty, and prosperity, liberty, equality
and fraternity. The law is our master and
puide.' Secretary sherman was frequently in
