knowledge With Intelligence.

man may have intelligence, and
can scarcely be without knowledge. A
man may have good deal of knowl-
edge and hardly have much intelligence.
We see multitudes coming out of our
colleges every year with a good deal of
knowledge and very little common
sense. We see men that have plumber
cd right and left through the whole of
history and in all directions; but they
are not intelligent men after all They
do not know what TO do with it, and
they are no more rich in knowledge
than the ass that carries gold from the
mine to the mint is n rich ass. But
where one has both intelligence and
knowledge and where he is growing in
them both. that is n transcendently
noble thing. 1t is said, in the eager
ness of some men for religion. that in
telligence, or education, without re-
ligion. is prejudicial; and it has even
been said that Intelligence without re-
ligion is educated vice. Truth is sacri-
feed here to phrase. 1t is the di-
rect tendency of intelligence and
knowledge to produce morality. l
aver, without fear Of contradiction,
that if YOU take the statistics OF vice
and of terrible crime you will find that
by far the largest number of those that
have stumbled on the threshold of life
and are ruined for life were men with
out knowledge an.l without any reason
able degree vi education. They are
poor, ignorant creatures. that have fol-
lowed their passions. l declare that
education. or the development of the
knowing parts of Il man. gives to him
80 large view of the field of life that
he is more likely TO see that morality
is safety, than if he were ignorant; and
that the general fact stands proved that
intelligence and knowledge tend on the
whole by immense measure toward
goodness, responsibility, virtue and
morality. So that if we shall grow in
knowledge and grow in aptitude for in
/! telligence and knowledge, we shall
make long stride away from animal
ism and from the dangers that beset
the passions and the appetites of human
life.
There is, therefore, in our great
land. good deal of reason why We
should bring to bear on all classes OF
men-the sweaty laborcr of the farm,
the dusty men at the smithy or III the
mine, everywhere, up and down,
through society-we should exhort men
to abate their passions and to learn
pleasure out of the development of in
tellect and knowledge. There is no
reason in this land why men should be
ignorant except original limitations OF
capacity. We are reading people,
and if we were thinking people in the
same ratio with which we read we
should be a very wise people. The
food for knowledge was never SO
abundant.-Henry Ward Beecher.

Stories About Somnambulists.

DR.. Haycock, the eminent Oxford
divine, would often rise from his bed at
night, give out his text, and, while
sound asleep, deliver an excellent SER
mon upon it. He was frequently watch
ed, but no amount of Juggling, pulling
or pinching ever succeeded in rousing
him. DR.. Macnish. of Edinburgh, gives
an account of an Irish gentleman who
swan more than two miles down q
river. got ashore, and was subsequently
discovered sleeping by the roadside al
together unconscious of the extraorii-
dairy feat he had accomplished. DR..
Pritchard had a patient who was par
ticularly fond of horse exercise, and
used to rise at night, find his way to
the stable, saddle his horse. enjoy a
gallop, and finally come back knock

condition. He was cured in a manner

The white foam rise and fall;

Iheard the sailors call;
Then sheer upon my straining sight
Fell down the curtain of the night.
What ship was on the midnight deepy
What voices on the air?
Did wandering spiritG call and weep
In darkness aud despair?
Did ever living seamen hail
The lend with such q hopeless wal.
The flush of dawn is in the sky,
The dawn-breeze on the sea,
The lark Is singing sweet and high
A winged melody;
Here on the sand, among the foam,
The tired sailors hare come home.

For all the streams Of death divide
The morning from the night:
