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. You are taking the young, you
are taking the strong, you are taking the
abla-bodied, and wbut is worse, you are
taking the ablo-Houled, aud you are mak-
iug them your own. 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 ? Christianity will have
its future base of operations iu this couu-
There is no donbt, I believe, or
ought to bo no donbt iu the iniod of any
observant man, as to that. 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.

Fffelatratidio, as we learn from an Athe
nian drinking soug by Culiistratus.
This plant rocoivcu its name from Myr-

Minerva, and who was metamorphosed

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.
The .unfortunate attendant was caught
with the property upon him, aud without
**J*ther ceremony hiK head was chopped

Hot to be Cau|Ut Twice.
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

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

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.
