To My that a horse moves all round is to say a great deal in kiss favour. Hearse-horses to the eyes of a horkernan aresbrutes, but . they do their duty in the stare to which they have been assisned to the perfeck eatisfaction of the people who use them. Racehorses, with the most wretched walking ad trotting action, often gallop feet and min races, which is all their trade required them to do.

MAIIHIAOR AB A IsEST.—ikow remarkkble it is that whenever an .enthusinstin religion pow new light, and adopts what he considers " advanced views," he almost invariably begins to tamper with inerria el In this tampering he alwaya betrays the chaviaten, and sufficiently warm at who se templed to folio, him beware of him. .Itie is Ise bear tek of a new system or schen:4°lWe t en its rehttion to Christian marriage. If it tampers with that it is always bad, and can by no , powibility be good. The Shakers form a community , ,milt on this rotten foundation. They destroy the  ' family, root and branch. They have no place for love. and enter into a determined and organised fight with the God of Nature, who, by the strongest passions and impulses He hasever implanted in the human soul, has ootnmanded them to establish families nail homes. Shakeriem is good for nothing if it is not good universally—if it ought not to be adopted universally. But universal adoption would be the suicide of a race, and a race has no more right to commit suicide than a man. Besides, the damming of one of the most power fat strearniin human nature only sets the water book to cover the banks it wee intended to nourish and to drain. It is too late to talk about the superior sanctity or the oelibate. We have faith in it whatever. The vow of chmtity simply emphasises in the mind the passion it is intended. for spiritual reasons, to suppress, and fixes the attention upon it. The Shaker, in denying love to himself and all the hallowed influences that grow out of family and home, gains nothing in holiness, if he do not lose irretrievable. He is the victim of a shocking mistake, and he disgraces himself and his owa father and mother by his gross views of an institution before whose purity and beneficence he and his whole system stand condemned. Of course we do not need to allude to the Mormon. His views of marriage revealed, of courm—are simply beastly. But these new schemes of life, religion, and philosophy are constantly springing up. It is very difficult for any system of social:6m to establish itself without tampering with marriage, and one of the beet arguments against all sorts of communities and phalansteries and whatnots of that sort, is that the family, as a unit, is unmanageable within them. They can take in and organise a miscellaneous maw of individuals, and provide some sort of &dirty substitute for marriage, but the family bother. them. It is a government within a government, that they cannot get along with. So the marriage test is a good one in all cases of the kind.— Scribner.  :Thin TEMPLE Clifuscli.—The round church of the Ibmple is the finest of the four round churches dill existlng in England. The Tempters did not, however, always build their °hurdle. with round towers, though such was generally their practice. The reetorabon of thts beautiful relic wasoneof the first symptoms of the modern Gothic revival in London. In the reign of Charles 11, the body of the church was filled with formal pews, which ooncealed the base. of the columns, while the walls were encumbered, to the height of eight feet from the ground, with oak wainscoting, which wan carried entirely round the church, no as to hide the elegant marble piscine, the intereeting almeries over the high altar. and the sacrarium on the eastern side of the edifice. The elegant Gothic arch°. connecting the round with the square church were choked up with an oak acme], and glass windows and doors, and with an organ gallery adorned with Corinthian column., pilastere, and Grecian ornaments, which divided the building into two parts, altogether altered its original character and appearance, and sadly marring its architectural beauty. The eastern end of the church was at the Caine time disfigured by an enormous altar-piece in the claesit style, decorated with Corinthian columns and Grecian cornices and entablature., and with enrichments of cherubim, and wreaths of fruit, flower., and leaves, heavy and cunibrous, and quite at variance with the Gothic charader of the building. A large pulpit and carved soundingboard were erreeted in the middle of the building, and the walls were encrueted and disfigured with • number of hideous mural monnmenie and pagan trophies of forgotten wealth and I vanity —Old auel.Nste Logsdon. . •
