AVALANCHES.

D heart that on Loves sunny heights dost dwell,
And JOY unquestOuing, by day, by night,
Serene in trust because the skies are bright,
Listen to what sll Alpine records tell
OF days on which the svslsnches fell;
Not days of storm, when men were pale with fright,
And watched the hills with anxious, straining sight,
And heard in every sound q note of knell,
But vixen in heavens still and blue and clear
The sun rode highl Those were the hours to fear.
And so the monks of San Bernard to-day
May the Lord count their souls and hold them dear
When skies are cloudless, in their convent stay,
And for the souls of lost and dying pray
II. H., IN atlantic NOHthly.

AS IN nature, so in art, so in grace; it is
rough treatment that gives souls, as we'll as
stones, their lustre. The moro the diamond
is cut the brighter it sparklss; and in what
seems hard dealing, there God has no end in
view but to perfect his people.
WHATEVER you would not wish your eiga.
Dor to do to you do it not unto him. This 10
the whole law; the rest is mere exposition

REV. DR.. VANDYKE, of Brooklyn, was
one day taking friend from Scotland to
see the Bloomingdale lunatic asylum; but
passing the Stock Exchange in Wall street
on their way he took tim to the door to look
in. The man, who thought they had got to
their destination, stood behind the doctor,
and staring eagerly over his shoulder at the
brokers, exclaimed, with surprise, not un-
mingled with awe -" Is't safe, mon p
They're a loose!"

We picture death as coming to destroy;
let US rather picture Christ as coming to
save. We think of death as ending; let US
rather think of life as beginning, and that
more abundantly. We think of losing let
US think of gaining. We think Of parting;
let US think of meeting. We think of going
away let US think of arriving. And as the
voice of death whispers, "you must 60 from
earth, !" let US hear the voice of Christ saying
"you are but coming to me!"- !"-MaclsOd.

MANY one is worn out in body, embsr-
rassed financially, and discouraged in spirit,
because he thought he could find another
path than that which he felt persuaded the
Lord wished him to take.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1879-06-25

The religious life and the worldly life do
not exclude each other; rightly viewed they
are but parts of the same great whole each
help to the other, and each means of
grace to the soul. The religious principle is
to guide and control the business of the
world; and the business of the world is to
discipline and develop and carry out the
religious principle, that on both, as on an
gels wings, we may rise to heaven.

HARM is done by everything which tends
to vulgarize religion. Religion is the high
est and most solemn concern of man. Any
thing like an adequate conception of God
will inspire religious assembly and preach
er with profound awe. Everything that
savors of levity or fippancy, in connection
with this subject, ought to excite the deepest
repugnauce.

The power of Christian character shining
through the life of Christian man is strik-
ingly illustrated in the following incident:
