We attract hearts by the qualities we dis

The vilest, cheapest. most causeless and
utterly irrational of all vices is the vice OF
profanity,-[Rev r. II. Howard.
Any philosophy of right that always
helps the canse of wickedness must be err
roneous.-[R Rev. DR.. R. W. Patterson
We are hanging up pictures everv day
about the chamber walls of our hearts that
we shall have to look at when we sit in the
shadows.
To rejoice in anothers prosperity is to
give content to your own lot; TO mitigate
another's grief is to ALLEVIATE or dispel your
own.-[ Edwards.
There is no reason to suppose that death
will influence character any otherwise than
as any important change in our mode of
existence may always be expected to modify
it, John Stuart Mill.
A little girl was asked why she worked
SO hard one evening. She replied, My
candle is almost burnt out. and j have not
another Life, like candle, soon burns
out, and we have not another.
Sorrow is not an accident, occurring now
and then; ii Is the very wool which is
woven into the warp of life, and he who
has not discerned the divine sacredness of
sorrow, and the profound meaning which
is concealed in pain, has yet to learn what
life is. The cross, manifested as the neces-
sity of the highest life, alone interprets it.
If. w. Robertson.
When we reach our Fathers house we
shall look back and see that the rough
visaged teacher, disappointment, was one
OF the best guides to train us for it. He
gave hard lessons, piled the rod, and
stripped Oft much we valued that we might
travel freer and faster. Dear old rough
handed teacher, we will build monument
to thee yet, crown it with garlands, and in
scribe on it, " Blessed be the memory of
disappointment. DR.. 7. L. Cuyler.
The mother bird for days has been call
ing the young eaglets from branch to
branch, that they may try their wings and
know their mode of motion and their
strength. But now she stands on q lofty
crag. and her call comes ringing down to
the vale beneath She would have her
tledglings rise. No longer must they beat
the air near shrub and branch, but above,
where jagged peaks pierce the sky, and
where only birds of daring spirit and
mighty wings can cleave the ethereal solit-
udes. must her royal progeny soar and
dwell. Thus does the Spirit calls US from
the lower level OF our present spiritual
condition TO nights of piety Blessed is he
who when he hears the call, listens to the
voice and rises toward God.-[D. B. J., in
The Examiner
1t seems to me that the. moral and intel
lectual life of the civilized nations Of
Europe is the product of that interaction,
sometimes in the way of antagonism,
sometimes in that of Notwithstanding
of the Semitic and the Aryan races, which
commenced with the dawn of history,
when Greek and Ph@nician came in con-
tact, and has been continued by Cartha-
ginian and Roman, by Jew and Gentle,
down TO the present day. Our art texcept,
perhaps. music and our science are the
contributions of the Aryan; but the es-
sence of our religion is derived from the
Semitic. In the eighth century B. c.. in
the heart of a world of idoatroris polythe-
lists, the Hebrew prophets put forth q con-
ception of religion which appears to me to
be as wonderful an inspiration of genius
as the art of Phidias or the science of
Aristotle. And what doth the Lord re-
quire OF thee, but to do justly, and to love
mercy, and to walk humbly with thy
God?' If any so-called religion takes away
from this great saying of Micah, think it
wantonly mutilates, while. if it adds thereto,
] think it obscures the perfect ideal of re-
hgion. But what extent of knowledge
what acuteness of scientific criticism, can
touch this, if anyone possessed of knowl-
edge or acuteness could be absurd enough
to make the attempt? VIII the progress of
research prove that justice is worthless and
mercy hateful? VIII it ever soften the
bitter contrast between our actions and our
aspirations, or show us the bounds of the
! universe, and bid rs say. Go to. now we
comprehend the infinite ?"-[Prof Huxley.
