New yprk ettj 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. Communicated.] 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. $2.50 A YEAR. 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. • Cfcy* “And so we go, said a member of a Boston school committee; “our great men are fast departing—first, Greely, then Chase, and now Sumner —and I dont feel very well myself.” BQT What is that which Adam nev er saw, never possessed, and yet be gave to each of his children ? Parents. BS&T An illiterate farmer, wishing to enter some animals at an agricul tural exhibition, wrote to tbeSecreta rv, as follows: “Also enter me for the best jackass. I am sure of getting the prize.” 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 ern. Two fine dogs made their ap pearance while a conversation was be ing held with the child, and she in formed one of her questioners that their names were Gillmore and Bean regard. “Which i's the best dog asked a bystander. “I don t know, said she; “they’re mighty smart dogs; but they’ll either of ’em suck eggs if don’t watch ’em.” The troops left without ascertaining whether the fam ily of which the girl was a scion wore on their side nr ik t
