Unspoken Words
The kindly words that rise with the heart.
And thrill it with their sympathetic tone,
But die ere spoken, fail to play their part.
And claim a merit that is not their own.
The kindly word, unspoken, is a sin—
A sin that wraps itself in purest guise.
And telle the heart that doubting looks within,
That not hi speech, hut thought, the virtue lies.
But ’tis nor g‘o; another heart may thirst
For tKatirfud word, as Hagar in ihe wild—
Poor banished Hagar—prayed a well might bnrst
From out the sand to save her p • rolling child.
And loving eyes that cannot see the mind
Will watch the expected movement of the lips:
Ah I can ye let. its cutting silence wind
Arou' .1 that heart, and scathe it like a whip ?
Unspoken words, like treasures In the mine,
Are valueless until we give them birth;
Like uni.'Und gold their hidden beauties shine
Which God has made to bless and gild the earth.
Ilow >8)1 'twonld be to see a master's hand
Strike glorious notes upon a voiceless lute—
But oh ! what pain, when, at God’s own command,
A heurt string thrills u Ith kindness, but is mute;
Then hide it not. the music of the soul,
Dear sympathy, expressed with kindly voice.
But let it like the shining river roll
To deserts dry—to hearts that would rejoice.
Oh ! let thy symphony of kindly words
Sound for the poor, the friendless and the weak.
And H*> will bless yon-110 who struck these cliorhs
Will strike another when in tarn you seek.

THE INNER LIFE.
That we live two lives, I have, for a
long time, found much happiness ill
believing. Our outward life is visible
to all; we live it every day in the cares,
trials, failures, sorrows and joys, which
are stregvn thick along our pathway.
The inner life and the future life are
much alike. They are converging to
ward that great eternity which shall
merge tin m into one perfect existence.
He who annot find some of the spir
itual j: y e uning from a future and
eternal life, may <t. -pair of ever enter
ing upon ilie immortal shores of per
fect blessedness. The outward lives
of people are really very much alike,
are hardly willing to
think so. Wo make ourselves famil
iar with the business, character, and
even the inner life of all who may
chance to step into oar notice. We
have a few words laid by in the m ud
to apply to them that seem to walk
with us, or according to our ideas of
life; such as good, kind, amiable, no
ble, lovely. Then we have a larger
vocabulary, which we apply lavishly
to those who may cross our path;
such as hypocrite, bigot, meau, ugly,
selfish, false, low, vain, proud, devil
ish. With much satisfaction, we use
these epiihets, and our decision is ir
revocable. We think we have only to
look around us, make a few observa
tions and comparisons, to read human
nature correctly. I must confess we
show ourselves wonderfully adept in
heading the outward life, if we ex
cept our own; but He, who knows the
secret of tbe heart, or inner life, lives
not on eaith We strain our eyes to
discern the weakness of our neighbor,
and feel well repaid, if at last, through
magnifying glasses, we can see a flaw
iu his character. We think it an act
of cleverness ou onr part, to pjblish
it Iu the ancient Jewish temple
(tabernacle) there was an innermost
apartment, where the ark was kept,
and no person was allowed to enter it
except tbe high priest, and he only
once a year. It is not uncommon in
heathen temples to find a “holy cham
ber” consecrated to private worship,
shat out from the sight of the irrever
ent, and kept sacred to the god .
We talk and act as if the inner life of
those we dislike was only a barren
waste, or at h ast full of filthy weeds,
I when, in fact, we cannot look within.
When due allowance has been made
■ for fallen humanity; when all the out
i ward points of a man’s character
! have been smoothed; when ascending
j passions have been balanced, and a
I verdict rendered, bow far have we
progressed ? The ante-chamber of
I the soul only, has been, or cun be
! reached by human w isdom. The door
j of this sacred eii .mber is closed and
j bolted on the iusi-.u. I am glad it is
| so. How much of onr life is spent
behind the cloud, and that too with
out even starlight, not because we de
sire it so, but it is so decreed. Hap
py is that life who finds a companion
that can enter Vithin the veil If
there is any happiness on earth, it is
fouml in congenial spirits treading
together the sunny banks of life, and
when weary, resting together on the
river’s brink. It is only when soul is
united to soul that the inner thoughts
and feelings of another can be felt.
Though the inner life is as much
sealed as the book of Revelation, yet
I love to theorize upon it as it peeps
out through the windows of its spirit
ual existence. If we could only keep
the heart pure, how highly the inner
life would shine fo*th. If we keep
the tire blazing ou the inner altar,
there with a heavenly sweetness and
a pacific peacefulness, our hves will
glide into the ocean of immortal exis
tence. Alas, that the heart is so tor
rupt! Yet in every heart time is a
holy of holies iuto which we cannot
penetrate. When the outward promp
tings of life are “peace and good will
to men,” we say the heart is right.
Ditl you never know good done for
hire? Judas kissed his Master. What
think you of his inner life? lam
not willing to take the responsibility of
judging it. But this I know, he went
away and hanged himself. I rejoice
when I see the outward life abound
in peace and perfect love—in charity.
If not always, it is generally a correct
index. When I see a mother lavish
kisses upon her babe, I kuow there is
no deception in them. I once saw a
little child carrying water and food to
a poor blind beggar by the road side,
and I was made happy in thinking
her heart was a temple of charity.
Whenever a kindness is shown me, I
love to imagine it is the fruit of the
inner life. Kindness is the Christian s
sword. When you draw the friend
of your bosom a little nearer, and the
shades of evening grow thicker, and
your thoughts blend more evenly and
sweetly, and you have no joy or sor
row, it is not a pleasure to share to
gether—it is then you feel the power
and worth of the inner life. Take
away this holy guardian, nod the gross
and sensual only, would desire to live
I once saw a rough teamster carefully
remove a helpless tortoise from the
rut, then I thought it might be, his
inner life was exercised. I once saw a
soldier covered with the dust and
blood of battle, dismount his war
steed and pluck a wild blossom. Then
my heart was moved to tears. I felt
that even in a warrior’s inner life, rare
flowers might be found.
Said my friend, “Good-bye,” and
was lost in the bustle of life. How
often is my heart made sad by dear
friends, who would Dot knowingly,
give me the least pain. They grasp
my hand, and without speaking of
the better life, from which comes sun
shine and beauty to cheer the heart
and cover the trials and perplexities
of this earthly life, with the spotless
mantle of charity they pass ou. Had
not the great Teacher been acquaint
ed with the inner life, which Milton
calls the nobler part, he could not
have said, ‘Neither do I condemn thee;
go and sin no more.’ Remember this:
It was in the innermost temple that
the mercy-seat rested over the ark.
How niauy there are who clasp hands
who never clasp hearts. The veil
that screens thß higher life, cannot be
wholly drawn aside, but if we would,
we might lift it just a little away. Peo
ple may, and alas, too often do walk
side by side through a long and
eventful (not happy) life and still be
strangers.
It is sad to think that so many should
pillow their heads on the same cush
ion, and yet know nothing of that
sympathy which is above price. It is
to be feard that very many who at
tend Juno’s feasts never put on the
wedding garment. It should not be
so. I once asked a dear friend to
write in ray Album; she wrote, “Guard
well thy thoughts, for they are known
in Heaven.” I would that these words
might sink as deep iu every heart as
they did in mine.
Oh, cherish the lunnerLife; guard
it well, and you shall secure an abun
dant entrance into the city of many
mansions when your earthly house
uliaii fail yon.

The Staff of Life.
It is written in the great Book, that
bread is the staff of life, but wo think
this depends upon what, and how it
is made. Wheat is unquestionably
the great bread material. Some very
distinguished physiologists attribute
the unprecedented success of Indiana,
Illinois and other large wheat produ
cing States, to the great abuudance
and general distribution among all
classes of this crop. It is said there
is a wheat belt in the southern hemis
phere, and that the same general re
sults are manifest as iu the States
above mentioned. I don’t know about
that, but I do believe in wheat as
a great and healthy civilizer, and
physical and mental developer. lam
a great lover of good bread, such as
mother makes. We are also very fond
of oat meal; it is deliciously cooling
and healthy. On account of the lalor
in preparing it, it is worth about e'ght
cents per pound. Wheat meal is bet
ter than flour, the phi losophers say,
and fish is better than bacon; but we
suspect that these philosophers re
quire differnt food, from what we
hear of them, than men who exercises
muscle rather than thought.
Cleft Rock
Near French Creek in Upshur coun
ty, Wdst Virginia, is a wonderful rock.
It seems to lay mostly on the surface,
and presents u bold and Luge aspect.
It rises to the perpendicular hight of
thirty eight feet, and is rent from top
to bottom for a hundred feet in the
direction of north and south. This
rent or gap is wide enough for a man
to walk m conveniently. One of the
sides has evidently been movedahead
some four feet. It beais every evi
dence of LaykJg been united with the
main part at some time. The two di
vided faces form exact counterparts.
It is about two hundred feet long,
and contains about 40,1)00 cubic feet
of greyish, rock. One end projects
over about fifteen feet, forming a ta
ble of stone. Large forest trees are
growing on its top, which is quite
level. The inhabitants iu its vicinity
think it must have been rent at the
time of the crucifixion, when the vail
of the temple was rent iu the midst
and darkness prevailed.
When a man hears the last
bell ringing Sunday m miing, and has
only got to the filth tyelet iu his wife’s
corset, and heatedly remarks that he
bad “rather fasten the corset of any
other woman than her’s” and she says
“no doubt you would,” and sits down
ou the trank and cries, he looks out
of the window, holding ou to the oth
er end of the string, gazing at
the ready-dressed women passing to
church, and wonders if he will ever
be able to attend divine service in this
world in peace.
The color of tbe wind was as
certained by the man who went out
and found it blew. •

Smart Girl.— During a raid through
Florida a bright little girl was found
at a house, her parents having ske
daddled. She did not know whether
the tioops were Northern or South

formed one of her questioners that
their names were Gillmore and Bean

but they’ll either of ’em suck eggs if
