The plan was admired, tho piety ‘ of the king was extolled, his generosity was in eroiybody’u month. Tho huge stones wero drawn and measured and hewn. At length, after years of time and labor, the walls went tip, and the ropf was put on, and the church was drawing near completion. To mako the gloiy the greater, the king had a great stone in tbo front, on which his name was en grave* 1.

Ono fools in a c banned circle of hopeless ini- quity, if it be not one of delusive appear- auces. Everything is bad throughout, and there is no square inch of virtno left for our weary soul to rest on. People whom wo have loved since wo were chil dren, ure shown us as seamed and scarred with iniquities, and unworthy onr most tepid regard; names that wo liave venera- tod are stripped of their laurels, and crowned with weeds and straw, or made out to be the mere shadow of names, if indeed they are not the shadows of fool substances; doctrines that we liavo held reverently, are no longer golden Hongs of peace and truth but soundiug brass and tinkling cymbals; everything is an eared at; every one decried; and all tho poetry of life is vulgarized, and brought down from the roseate glory of the upper air, where onr loving faith and fancy placed it, to the lowest stratum of mephitic va pors. There is no heaven above—only the narrow roof of a stifling vault, which is tho tomb of all that makes life' worth the living. And when wo object to this reading of things, we ore laughed at for onr ignorance, bidden to take warning by the experience, and told tliat skepti cism nnd unbelief are emphatically the products of knowledge of tlio world. Injdkikh to toe house that mat hr EASILY avoided: Many horses arc made’ virions from cruel treatment. More horses fall from weariness than from any other cause. When a horse falls he is more frighten ed than his rider. A frightened animal can not me its senses aright; it must lie first re-tssnmed by gentle treatment. It is speed that kills tho horse. Never strike an animal upon the head. Careless appllcition of tho whip lias blinded many horses. More horses are lamed from bad shoe-, mg than from all other causes together.
