Kingsley on Manners.

me beg your serious attention to it. l use
it, remember, in it's true, its ancient-that is,
in its moral and spiritual--sense. use it
as the old Greeks, the old Romans used their
corresponding words as our wise forefathers

of his deserving to succeed; the outward and

itual grace, or disgrace, there may be in

when he reproved the pushing and vulgar
arrogance of the Scribes and Pharisees, and
laid down the golden rule of all good man

let him be the servant of ALL" Next beg
you to remember that all, or almost all, the
good manners which We have among US
courtesies, refnements, self.restraint and
mutual respect-all of which raise US socially
and morally above our forefatherS of 1900
years ago-deep-hearted men, valiant and

The Lutheran Diet.

The discovered Lutheran bodies Of this
country met together by their representative
men in Philadelphia recently. The Assembly
was called "Diet," recalling to memory
those famous old convocations in Germany
in which the affairs of the Reformation were
discussed, and decisions of grave import rem
dered. In the Diet no decisions were rem.
dered-indeed, one distinct decision on any
of the topics brought before it would proba-
bly, have instantly dissolved the meeting, but
the topics discussed were generally of i'm
portance, and the papers submitted we're of
high grade, and have evidently been pre-
pared with care. After the reading of the
various papers free discussion was opened
on each topic, and the various opinions which
divide the Lutheran Church came out very
distinctly, without, however, disturbing the
harmony of feeling which marked the Diet.
The two days conference of brethren, sep
arated for many years from each, was so
pleasant, and was thought to be so profitable
that arrangements were made to hold another
Diet at some future time. Perhaps the most
remarkable feature of the gathering was that
it could be held, and that representatives of
churches which have been for years in an
antagonistic attitude could sit quietly side
by side, and discuss topics of interest to all
in the churches represented. 1t is sign of
change, and of change tending to reconcilia-
ton, when DIR. Krauth and DR.. Conrad are
found members of the same assembly, and
that assembly, bearing the name Lutheran"

The Jewish Nation When Chronicles was
Written.

The people in their long and toilsome cap
tivity, scattered among their conquerors,
and ground down by taskwork, had forgotten
their past, had become ignorant of their sa-
cred books, and had even lost the capacity
of grasping and retaining the long and COM
plicated account of their former history
which had been familiar to their ancestors
Ga their return to Palestine they were band
ofemancipatei slaves, ignorant, illiterate, in
capable of much thought, childish, and re-
quiring, like children, very simple elementary
teaching.
Again, they were multitude rather than
people; in their long continued oppression
and isolation they had lost the sentiment Of
nationality, the very idea of patriotism;
they had forgotten their tribal distinctions
and relationships; and though they had not
fallen away from the worship of Jehovah,
they had come to have very dim and faint
notion of what that worship in reality was,
as established by the greatest of their mon
archs, David aud Solomon. To restore the
national life, to re,unite the present with the
past, to re-awaken the sumbering spirit of
patriotism, to recall the glOries of old times,
and set them before the nation as the stan
dard which they should aim at reaching in
the future, was the hard but grand task
which the leaders of the Jewish people set
themselves at this time, and which none did
more to accomplish than the writer of Chron-
icles. Instead of throwing the people back
upon their old histories, written on too large
a scale for their present needs, and in Ian.

calculated to affect them strongly and deeply
than the ancient larger compositions. At

LIFE.

Life, how hard it is faithfully to portray
it. The alterations of bright anticipatiOns
and disappointed hopes, of brightest joy and
BLACKLIST sorrow are so rapid, and the effects
so blended, that to contemplate them is but
to render the thoughts chaotic mass. Yet
if we avoid conclusions, and allow memory to
linger in the sweet past, the long lest past,
the glorious childhood of the past, it opens
to us the reflected rays of the glowing light
that then surrounded and frightened our in
nocent hearts, reminding US that as life ad-
vances the brightness of childhood recedes,
that, step by step, life's dark shadows gather
yet more thickly around US but buoyed up
by infinite grace, impelled by faith in an ON
nipOtent God, We press on, sometimes to pen
citrate the thickest gloom; and yet how often
to see these shadows dissipated by joys noon
tide sun.
As We discard childhoOd's innocence and
simplicity, how sanguinely We define ife's
course, how certainly we forecast destiny,
glorious destiny Yet each experience is
but mOckery of the ideal. The goal to
which all our designs and actions tend may
be reached, yet through what different agen-
cies and under what different circumstances
from those that We point out.
The maiden's noble aspirations to all Of
those accomplishments and graces which
gives to her such charm, and which enables
her to exercise such powerful influence for
good over the sterner sex, and over the less
fortunate of her own, are often attained by
circumstances, often-timeS thrOugh affections,
the wisdom of which she cannot see, and
which, had she fOreseeu would have appalled,
and chilled her very soul.
The ambitious youth who aspires to fame,
and to deeds noble and good, would often
yield in pure dependency, could he but fore
see the frey Ordeals through which, under
the providence of God, he would have tC
pass, in order to fit him to accomplish these
noble aims.
Let those who have not contemplated it
not think that hfe's course is smooth and un
encountered with difficulties and obstacles
most formidable; neither let him think it al
existence wholly of shadows and Sorrows
But rather let him know that in this state W.
enjoy the sunny smiles of benign proVi
dence, and often feel the effects of his dark
ened brow.
Let those who have marked out what SEEM
to them a course for usefulness and for good
if they encounter obstacles seemingly inSur
mountable, not despOnd. Or, if defeated en-
tirely, remember that all things are Ordere'
r by God s unerring will. Let them remembe
; that that this life is only preparatory for on
, brighter and more glorious; and if not in thi
o life, in the one to come We will reap the re
e ward of an honest, earnest prOtracted efor
j for good.

 now deckel in its grlndest gr5. The Valley, extending from lhe Mormon settlements, east of the Tempe, for distlnce of D miles down the melnleriug stream of Salt River, on either side, covering a scope Of from .ix to eight miles, is now crowded with boutiful crop l of growing barley, wheat, and other cereals. More grain will be produc- ed this season thln in any former year; however, as the old crop has been entiely exhausted, and the de- maud from all directions will bemade upon Salt River, it is reasonable to suppose that the price of grain will hold at about the same price it now commands. The Valley is now settled by an industrious people, who are proud ofand are b .autilying their homes by the erection of substantial buildings and the setting out of fruit and ornamental trees of every variety. Close calculations place the yield of graia-wheat and harley-this season, in the vicinity or twelve million pounds. Peaches are about hll-gawn, and the trees arr @roal,ng under the great weight Of the growing crop.

The point sc lectel is now covered by the heal of the Phenix Canal Complnv's ditch. With the exception of a few l changes made by the company last nlmed, the Svilling ditch ran on the same lines as the present Phanix Canal to point oae mil. east of Pherix, and thence south ward in what is commonly calleI the Dutch ditch.
