A sVOMAN'S WISH.

Wou ID I were lying in field of clover,
Of clover cool and soft, and soft, and sweet,
With dusky clouds in deep skies hanging
over,
And scented silence at my head and feet.
Just for one hour to slip the leash of Worry
In eager haste, from Thoughts impatient
neck,
And watch it coursing-in in its needless hurry
Disdaining Wisdom's whistles-Duty's beck.
All! it were sweet, where clover clumps are
meeting
And daisies hiding, so to hide and rest;
No sound except my own hearts sturdy
beating
Rocking itself to sleep within my breast
Just to lie there filled with the deeper breath
ing
That comes of listening to free birds
song!
Our souls require at times this full unsheath-
ing
Ali swords will rust if scabbard-kept too
long.
And am tired! so tired of rigid duty!
So tired of all my tired hands find to do!
I yearu, faint, for some of life's free beauty,
Its loose beads with no straight string run
ming through!
Aye, laugh, if laugh you will, at my crude
speech
But women sometimes die of such greed;
Die for the small joys held beyond their
reach,
And the assurance they have all they need!

THE PAST.

1T behooves Us, as products of
the past, who will one day our
selves constitute the past, to deal
gently and even reverently with
it. We cannot break with it if we
would, nor should we if we could.
The very language which we use,
we owe to the slow acquisitions of
generations which have preceded
us; we cannot compassionate Or
contemn them, except in words
for which we are indebted to them.
There is hardly a word | have
used in this lecture which, were
it's history searched out, does not
mean generations of human cul-
ture to which we are heirs. Seems
it not then a wicked, almost a
sacriligious thing to hasten with
eager gladness to repudiate the
past to which we owe everything,
and to exult over the ruins of it's
beliefs ? It is as if a son should
rejoice over his fathers feebleness,
uncover his nakedness, and make
scorn Of his infrmities. AS he
who has been the best son is in
turn the best father, so the gener-
alton which guards with respect
the good which there is in the
past, and puts gently aside that
which is effete, will make the
most stable progress in it's day,
and transmit the best inheritance
10 the generation which follows
it. No doubt in the future, as in
the past, the knowledge Of one
period will sometimes appear
foolishness at more advanced
period CT human evolution-the
truth Of one age becomes the
laughing-stock Of the next; but
we may pro6tably reflect that de-
caying doctrine had its use. in its
day, and it may teach US modesty
to consider, that much which has
it's place in our mental organiza-
ton now, will one day probably
be put aside as obsolete belief. Let
1t be our prayer, that when shat
day comes, and this generation
comes up for a critical Judgment,
as historical study: before the
tribunal of posterity, it may be
justly said of it that it has done
as much for the progress of man.
kind as some Of the generations
upon which the visest Of US look
back perhaps with induIgent COM
passion, and the unwise among US
with foolish scorn.-Dr. Henry
Moudsley.

LIGHT a DARK PLACE.
BY REV. B. BAUSMAN.

Ir Italy "the sky is so clear
thatyou seem to sec beyond the
moon" And in Chaldea and Ara
bia the stars appear large and
bright as if let down earthward
to invite you to study and love
then. In the latter country the
traveller is nightly tempted to
learn from this twinkling book Of
the heavens. Till midnight would
we often sit on the camp-stools be-
fore the door Of our tent, devout-

lights Of a dark and dreary east
ern world. In the dark moonless
sky they hang like so many living
lanterns, as beacons to guide the
ages to the Light Of the world.
I, this sky-volume the ancients

ry path to Heaven. For, as Young

Cnldean plains, then as now,
watched the stars all night long,
as hey kept their focks. In an
ciet times, knowledge a n d
scnnce, in the far East, were con-
fined to a particular class. BY
exclusive family descent, the men,
be,s of this class were the pro-

the interpreters Of dreams and the
colnsellors 10 political affairs. As
tp Levites among the Jews, and
tie Chaldeans among the Assy-
rims, so the Magi or Wise Men
wsre the prophets and priests OF
scence and religion. They wrote

books of the ancients, and inter

some of these Wise Men lived

They were heather men, cropping

the prophecies pertaining to their
future prosperity as nation.
Much, too, was said about the
