At the meeting of the Evangel leal Al liance, Rev. Richard Smyth of Ireland Raid: —1 hoo everywhere over the couutry the evidences of tho tendoncy to take from the Old World and bring to the Now. Well, now, I will make this con- fosnion, that I somewhat grudge you what you got.

I dare say you moan o harm, and you mean good to your selves. Do you mean good to the cause of Christ? That is the question. Oh! my dear friebds, let ovory individual lay this to heart, that as a citizen of a coun try that, I believe, is yet dostiued to have population equal to that of China, a couutry that is calculated to nourish 800,- 000,000 of the huumu race, I ask you what in yonr responsibility with regard to Aiuuricu’s future ?

What aro you to do with respect to this ? Lay these thoughts to heart, rise equal to thoso re sponsibilities that lie upon yon as the professed bervnnta of tho Lord Jesus Christ. JlXyrlle Wreaths. Modern fashionable society, which de crees that none l>u% betrothed brides shall wear tho myrtle, is not aware, perhaps, that the custom datol back to tho days of the Greeks and the Romans. “The lover with the myrtlo sprays Adorns bit; crisped tronsos.” Old legends toll us that the blessed Virgin, upon the occasion of her marriage to Jofifiph, wore a crown of myrtle. u “" Still B-xiot exclusively monopolized by : tor among tho Athenians it was j to crown tho dead with a gar- 1 myrtle. It wus also the symbol of anlhority, aud as such was worn by mafftotrates.

This plant rocoivcu its name from Myr- sine, an Athenian muiden, tho favorite of Minerva, and who was metamorphosed 1 to V Into this flower. It was sacred to Veutis, ona of whose numerous appellations waa Myrtia. fen l*oluts of a flood Wife. Robert Kurus, the Scottish poet, speak- ing of the qualities of a good wife, di vided them iuto ton parts. Fonr parts he gave to “good temper," two to 4 ’good •ante," ono to “wit, one to “beauty," finch as a sweet face, oloquont eyes, a fine person, a graceful carriage), and the mmainiug two parts bo divided among other qualities belonging to or attending on a wife, such us fortune, connections, education or accomplishments, family, and ao on ; “but," ho said, “divide those two parts us you please, romombor that all these minor proportions must be ex- praaaed by fractions, for there is not any one of thpm that is entitlod to tho dignity of an integer." Chinese Inillllcreiiev to Death. The Ghineso aro almost indifferent to the phenomenon of dissolution, aud fre quently compass thoir own end when life becomes wearisome. A wife sometimes elects to follow her husband ou the .star lit road of death, aud parents will destroy their offspring iu times of famine aud great distress, rather than to allow them to suffer. Still more remarkable is tho custom of selling tho lives iu order that they may purchase the superior advantage of obsequies, which are considered to insure tho body in safety for future ros urrection. A wealthy mau condemned to death will arrange with his juilor to buy him a anb BtitUte for a certain sum of money, to be spent upon tho poor wrotch’s inter ment aud the preservation of his body Should he have parents, ho much is usual ly paid to them m compensation for thoir son’s life. Chinamen invaribly help to support their parents. Filial respect aud devotion is the great Chinese virtue and religious precept, iu which they rarely fail. Regarding death ns inevitable, he makes the best of a bad bargain, and cunningly sndoomcially gets paid for dying. The wholesale destruction of life iu this coun try is greatly the result of indifference. Hence the tnasaore of Europeans, so terri ble to us, seems to them u matter of little moment, and they cannot comprehend why we should make a fuss -about it. They regard our indignant protestation very much as we regard our irate neigh bor whose dog we have shot. “Well, well, be pacified; if it was such a favor ite 1 am Horry, but it is only a dog and there are plenty more. IIow much do you want to be paid for it ?” “You English think so much of life, argues the Chinese; “have you not pleuty of people at home ?" Death in China is swarded as the pun isbmeut of the most trival offenses, and frequently for none at all, being in Somebody's way A story wan told mo ns a fact, that, during the visit of one of our royal princcH, a theft was committed of a chain or watch belonging to the royal guest.

A good Btory is told of a Gorman, by tho muue of Schmidt, who had fcakon tho reesntion to insure the life of his wife or $5,000, end the stable for $000, be lieving the former might die and the lat ter might be burned, and ho could not »ot along without some compensation for lis losH. Beth policies had been taken from the sumo agent Iu a fow months after the stable bad been insured, it was destroyed by lire. Bchmult quietly noti fied the agent, aud hinted to him that he wonld expect the $900 at the earliest pos sible moment. The agent nt once sent a carpenter to asoortsiu the cost of erecting a new sta ble of tho same dimensions, having found that tho property had been insured for moro than it was worth. Tho builder roported that he uould replace the stable witu now material for $500; but, unfor tunately, there was an ordinanoo against tho erection of frame buildings—the old stable haviag been of wood. He was asked to estimate ihe cost of a briok sta ble, aud reported the amount at $750. Tim agent then notiffed Hohmidt that he would build him a new briok stable in ffaoe of the old frame one ; but Hohmidt leoame very indiguaot at tho proposition, saying,— I ton’t undorsthaud die lnshnranoe pizinesv. I bay yon vor nine hundred lollars, und von my sthable bnrn down you make mo a now von. I tou’t vant new Kthable; I vant mine nine hundred toilers 1“ The agent reasoned with Bohmidt, bnt all to no purpoK). Wh«n the stable was about finished, Schmidt went to consult a lawyer, think ing that he oonld still get the amount of the policy, besides bavins the new atable. The lawyer, howover, informed him that the company bod the right to make good thp lost} by building a new stable, and ex pressed surprise at hia desire of bringing suit againHt them. “Rut," said Schmidt, “I insuro for nine hnudrod toilers, and dis fellnr put dew nthablo up for seven hundred and fifty. I don't uudersthand dis iuahuranoe pint- dohs 1” Finding that be oould not 00mpel tho payment by law, he beeatne disgusted with the insurance busmens altogether. Galling upon the agent, Schmidt said,— Mr. Ageul, I vant you to stbop dat in surance on mine vrow. I tou’l pay uo more monish dat vay. I ton’t underethand dia inahurance pizinesal" “Why, Mr. nchmtdt," said the agent rnnuh surprised, “you are doing a ver foolish thing. You have paid a consul orable portion of this policy already, and if your wife should die you wonld got five thousand dollars.” 4 ’Yaw, dal iH vat you told me now," said Schmidt. “Ven I pays yon on my stha- ble, yon say I got nine hundred to lar* if it van purned down ; so it vas purnt, and yon will not give me wine monish. You say, *011, dat vas an eld frame sthable, and yon uo nay oiue hundred toller. V< mine vrow dies, you don say to me, 4 0 she vas an old Datohvomau, and she not Betroepectlon. In asoondiug a inonntaiu, it is both ucoessary and delightful lo pause occa sionally, looking back upon tho path wo have trodden, arouud upon the view opoued up to us, and forward to the bights which still invite our approach. Such halts do more good for us than tho more rest they afford. They givo new and larger views of the beauty and sub limity of nature, bestowing little by little the reword of our toil, aud encouraging to renewed efforts. It is well too, for ub to have occasional pauses in our restless, hurried lives—pauses in which we may look back upon the past, and, by the clearer and broader viows they give us, gather fresh inspiratiou for tho labor be foro UH. Truth Will Live. Philosophy has sometimes forgotten God; a great people never did. Tho skepticism of tho last century uould not nproot| Christianity, because it lives in tho heart* of the millions. Do you thiok that infidelity is spreading ? Christianity novor lived iu tho hearts of ho many mil lions as at this moment. The forms nn- dor which it is professed may decay, for they, like all that is the work of man's bauds, are subject to tho changes of moral beings; but the spirit of truth is incor ruptible ; it may bo developed, illustrated aud applied; it never can die; it never can decline. No truth can pass away. The flame is undying, though generations disappear. Wherover moral truth has started iuto being humanity claims and guards tho bequest. Each generation gathers together the imperishable chil dren of tho past, and increases them by now sous of light, alike radiant with ini mortality. Now Advertisements. pS AMPLE to Agent*.
