THE MYSTERY OF NATURE.
The works of God are fair for naught,
Unless our eyes, in see'ng,
Sea hidden in the thing the thought
That animates its being.
The outward form is not the whole,
Dut every part is moulded
To image forth an inward soul,
That dimly is unfolded.
The shadow, pictured in tho lake
By every tree that trembles,
Is cost for more then just the sake
Os that which it resembles.
The dew falls nightly, not alone,
Because the meadows need it,
But on an errand of its own
To human souls that heed it.
The stars are lighted in the skies,
Not merely for their shining,
But, like looks of loving eyes,
Have meanings worth divining.
The waves that moan along tho shore,
The winds that sigh ic blowing,
Are sent to tench a mystic loro
Which men are wise in knowing.
The clouds.’ around the mountain-peak,
The rivers in their winding,
Have secrets, which, to all who seek.
Are secrets in the finding.
Thus nature dwells within our ro&eh,
liut, thougli we stand so near her.
We still interpret half her speech
With ears tos dull to hear her.
Whoevsr, at the eosrseet touud,
fitill listens for the fisost,
Shall hear the noisy world go sound
To musie the divinest
Whoever yearns to sec aright
Because his heart is tender,
Shall catch a glimpse of heavenly light
In every oarthly splendor.
80, since the universe h#gan,
And till it shall be ended.
The soul of nature, soul of man,
Aid null of (iod are blended I—

Theodors’* Horse— King Theo
dore’* lloreo which arrived in Eng
land on Tuesday night, was exhibited
at tho Crystal Bitlaco on Saturday,
lie Is a small bay gelding, and corluin
ly gives pula poor idea of a chargor.
Ho is about us largo as a good-sized
mule, thoroughly well hailt, however,
finely formed in the for grand hir.d togs,
baa a small boad aud bright eyes. His
tooth aro so far gono a* to ooasc to give
any correct indication of bis ago, and
ho is certainly over twenty years old.
110 has no shoes, and judging from tho
appoaranco of his hoofs, which aro
bard ns iron, ho lias never boon shod.
His coat is fino and stocky, but the
matio and tail have boon sadly disfig
ured by tho quantity of relics, in tbo
shape of parcels ot hair, which have
boon cut off or pulled off by soldiers
anxious to possess iomo memento ol
tho campaign in Abyssinia. ILo can
tors well, and was ridden by his captor
for nearly tho whole distance from
Mngdals to Zoulln, nnd was found re
markably sure-looted, and picked his
way with (ho sagacity which might
bo expect in an animal accustomed to
rough and precipitous roads, 110 was
an objoctoti ntenso attraction, upwards
of a thousand persons, having paid
him a visit in his slahlo in tho open
corridor at tho back of tho concert
room.
The Title of Doctor.—Concern
ing Doctorates, tho Conijrcpationalist
says :
“Wo suggest tho following rules
as covering tbo wholo subject, viz:—
1. Novcr ask or hint for tho degreo,
nor allow your friends to ask it for
yon if you know it; such asking rs
indecorous nnd degrading. 2. Do
not declino tho degroo if tendered
without your complicity beforehand;
such declinature looks k liltlo too
much liko socking to fill out a quar
totto of greatnoss with Moses Stuart,
Albert Barnes, and Iltnry Ward
Boechcr. 3. Never use tho title
yourself io regard to yourself, if you
got it; sinco it strikes so many son
sible persons as painfully silly for a
man to writo or speak of himself as
“Doctor.” 4. If you got it, keep your
self hurablo by tho remombraneo that
thoro aro at least forty bettor men
than you are, and wbo have likely
enough iorgotUn mare than you ever
know, or will know, whoso namos re
main unromombered of collego true,
toos, aud undoetored of men."
To every man there aro many, many
dark hours—when be feels inclined to
abandon liis best enterprise; hours when his
heart's dearest hopes appear delusive ;
hours when he feels unequal to the harden
when *ll his aspirations seem worthless
Let no one think that ho alone has dark
hours. They aro the common lot of hu
manity.
