trees there will be nothing to shade the
rocks and earth, and both will absorb a
sufficient amount of heat from the rays
of the sun during the fall, and even till
far into the winter, to melt any light fall

will be that our autumn weather will

The KIND OF RELIGION WE WANT
We want religion that softens the step
and tunes the voice to melody, and checks
the impatient exclamation and harsh re-
buke; a religion that is polite, deferential
to superiors, courteous to interiors and
considerable to friends; religion that goes
into the family and keeps the husband
from being cross when dinner is late, and
keeps the wife from fretting when the hus-
band tracks the newly washed floor with his
muddy boots, and makes the husband
mindful of the scraper and the door-mat
keeps the mother patient when the baby is
cross, and amuses the children as well as
instructs them; cares for tho servants be-
sides paying them promptly; projects the
honeymoon into the harvest moon, and
makes the happy home like the Eastern fig
tree, bearing in its bosom at once the beau
ty of it's tender blossoms and the glory of
the ripeqed fruit. We want q religion that
shall interpose between the ruts, and gull
lies and rocks Of the highway of life, and
the sensitive souls that are travelling over
them.

RICH WITHOUT M0NEY.-Many a man

with nothing in their pockets, and thou
sands without even a pocket, are rich. A
man born with good sound constitution.
good stomach; good heart and good
limbs, and pretty good head piece is rich.
Good bones are better than gold tough
muscles are better than silver; and nerves
that flash fire and carry energy to every
function are better than houses and land.

who has good disposition-who is natur-

who has a favor Of wit and fun in his
