CLOUDS WITS silver; linings. BY MARY COLBY. There’s never a day so sunny But a little cloud appears;- Thertj’r neve? a life so happy But has bad its* time of tears; Yet the sun shines out the brighter When the Btoi my tempest clears. There’s never a garden growing With roses in every plot; There’s never a heart so hardened Bht it has one tender spot; We have only to pursue the border To fihd the forget-me-not. There’s never a cup so pleasant But has bitter with the sweet; There’s never a path so rugged That bears not the print of feet; A fid we have a helper promised For the trials we may meet. There’s never a sun that rises But we know ’twill set at night ; The tints that gleam in the morning At evening are just as bright; And the hour that is the sweetest Is between the dsrfc and* fight.- Tbere’s never a dream that’s happy But the waking makes us sad; There’s never a dream- of sorrow But the waking, makes us glad ; We shall look some day with wonder At the troubles we have had. There’s never away s > narrow But the entrance is made straight; There’s alw ys a guide to point us To the “little wicket gate; And the angels will be nearer To a soul that is desolate. V' There’s never » heart so haughty But will some day bow aud kneel; There’s never a heart so wounded That the Saviour cannot heal; There’s many a lowly forehead That is bearing the hidden seal. 'Fhere’s never a day so sunny But a little cloud appears; There’s never a life so happy But baa had its time of tears; Yet the sun shines out the brighter When the stormy tempest clears. SCIENTIFIC BIGOTRY. Strauss and Renan hare each applied themselves to the demonstration of a the orem t y which the verity and purity of the character of Jesus shall be affirmed, while Hw-miraculous powers shall be denied. It may fairley be doubted whether this line of argument wera adopted for the purpose of arriving at the truth. The assaults upon Jesus by Bolmgbroke, Paine, and others, bad rebounded upon thems jives, and brought upon those authors the condemna tion of naarly every reasonable aud honest mind. This war, at feast, sufficient warn ing of the danger of further pursuing that course. The theory upon whi h the purity of the Mfessianic character was made compatible with the falsity of the record of His mira cles, has been totally disproved, and the attempt to maintain it will be, if it has not already been, abandoned. The next movement of the leading ration alists was looked for with interest. Would the} insult the mo al sense and reason of mankind by returning to 'he ribaldries and foul slanders of Volney, Bolingbmke, and Painc l The answer is ready. “We have sought to preserve the character of your Christ, while we follow the lead of scientific truth. If you drive us from this position, you must take the consequence-'. We shall not hesitate to denounce Jesus as an impos tor and performer of legerdemain, if there in no otbei. way of avoiding the acknowl edgment of snpematrrnG fowes.” I bis U * degree of bigotry unmatched in any Protestant deuominati n in christen dom, and indeed it baa no parallel anywhere, that we know of, in the history of phiio soplc or religious belief. A bigot may lie most unreasonable, and determinedly I llnd to truth, and yet demand aud receive the respect of reasonable men He may say, “I have ex mint'd the this p opo sitiou. I bare concluded tny inquiries con cerning It, lujti am aatiaffud with it. 1 shall decline tn arrest gate adverse testimony, because I know that lam right.*’ But no i-lgot that we have ever read or lie id of, except those “scientists,” bare set out with the denial of a historic or other fact, and doggedly refused to listen to any evi dence of the existence of the fact stated, upon the simple ground that the fact c n •ets with their theory! We say that such a position has no example among thinking men, aud shows their claims for recogni tion as men of science to be preposterous and rediculoua. A love of truth —a desire to find it and accept it wherever found, is the first elemcment in the character of one who can become a scientist. To expect truth front men who will ignore facts which make against pct theories, were as vain as to expect music from a man burn deaf, or landscape painting from one born blind. These gsntlcmsn start out with the nega tive theory that the spiritual world has no existence; that tlwsupematuial is unknow able aud therefore impossible, and therefore that any fact proving cither the spiritual or supcrnatual is inadmissible because it is brought forward to prove that which is im possible. This is simply to stty, “We do not know it to be true, and therefore' it is false"-—which is the most Insolent and con temptuous proposition ever made io an en lightened people. And now, when, upon the basis of such ridiculous egotism and nigotry, they propose to assault the purity and verity of the character of Christ, pro pcMK to denounce tbit as black and foul which the universal judgment of ma kind, shadted alth whatever ereed oi philosophy, han proamancod pure and spoilt**, we do not are how they can, fur a moment, bold ths respect of .»ny man who has a fair share •f self respect sad common sense. -Interior.

We believe in the co-education of the sexes; we limit their association; they meet only i i the recitation room, except in passing to and from the academy, and during the suspension of regulations pertaining thereto. I heir association to tiffs extent makes them more attentive to p< reonal appearance, and more refined in speech. It gives boys higher feelings of honor, for they dread tbe opinion of jdrta who scoff at meanness, littleness and profanity. It stimulates girls to greater mental effort, and makes t em more capable of thinking for themselves. It gives boys b- tter ideas of true womanhood. It gives girls better ideas of true manhood. It elevates both, morally and intellectually.

There is nothing of more importance to the youth of our country, than a sound practical education. Indeed it is a mat ter of first consideration, aud in order that the foundation for an education may be laid in the shortest time and at the leastexpense it is necessary to have teach ers—those who, from experience, have shown an aptness for imparting instruc tion.
