The one creates beauty, tho other intelli gence ; bat we need both. We need truth and love,'too—tho inward strength and the outward grace—beauty and bands, devel opment and obligation. Anything may be turned into art by being done well.— Take tho common talk of the street. — How clumsy it is: how inexpressive—the words are only half articulated, the pro nunciation is bad, the expression vulgar. The whole vocabulary of many people consists of a few hundred words and phrases. Suppose the people wore edu cated In our schools to speak well; suppose instead of the quantity of absurd grammar I which is taught to tbe children, they were Instructed in proper enunciation, drilled in the accurate use of language, taught to use their organs ot speech aright, made familiar with synonymous expressions, enabled to aelect the right word for their purpose— would not speech at once become an art ? Would there not be a pleasuro in speaking and a delight iv listening, if language were used with taste and skill and "like airy and nimble Borvitors," the words came to the work of the hour and to express the | thought of tbe moment ? A life devoid of boauty is very poor.— A life into which a little grace arrives at once becomes interesting. God meant that some souls should be fed with beauty.— Athens, in the days of Pericles, become a musuem of art, and what Athens did twenty-two centuries aero, what Florence did in the mediaeval days, Boston ought to be able to do to-day. We do not want works of art only for private homes ; wo wish to have them for the benefit of the whole community. Who that has walked through the galleries of Paris, Florence, London, and seen thousands of working people by his side, studying with delight the great creations of genius, has not felt how much more truly democratic this was than our way of building private galleries and purchasing objects of art tor the pleasure of ourselves and friends alouo ? If I had a picture by Raphael, or a por trait by Sir Joshua Reynolds, I should wish it to be seen by every one. I should desire that it might do its educating work on the whole community. The natural and proper influence of all such great crea tions is to make all men artists iv their own sphere. It is to inspire them with the love of beauty; to teach them to do every thing well; not to slight their work; to do it for its own sake, and not for the profit it may bring. Ido not expect nor wish of an art museum that it sball make a great many sculptors and painters. But I wish that it should put tho spirit of art into all our lives—teaching us tit do every thing lovingly and heartily, doing it as well as we kuow how ; doiug it to God as well as to man. Dr. Clarke showed how all doers of faithful work become artists, each in his special calling, and closed with an eloquent prediction of the development of art in America, when religion and em ulation shall also be developed into more harmonious conditions.— Advertiser A Pica for Human Nature. SERMON BY REV. DR. BELLOWS. If Divine Providence were of our pusil lanimous judgment, or afraid of all excess and confusion, as we are; if God laved only the neutral tints or dull colors of the Quaker; if He bated vanity and gorgeous beauty, and superfluity and clash and con flict, and were as exclusively absorbed in what are falsely deemed the only real in terests of society—those represented by criminal and police laws—as sombre Gal vinists, or sentimental quietists have been, the world would wear a very different as pect from what He has chosen to give it. Prairies dyed in crimson and gold, in purple and emerald, would not flauut their royal robes in sun and breeze; birds brilliant M gems would not weave their rainbows in the air; skies would not coruscate with countless stars, no blush with glowing sunsets; the morning would dress itself in sober russet, or dim mist; tbe rose would hide its dew-drops and withhold its per fume, while beauty and riotous abundance would forsake forest and field—now burst ing with joyous life and plenty and splen dor—nature would grow proper and demure, and wear tho livery of a nun. Where, then, were the lightning's fearful flash, the thunder's growl, the sheeted rain, Niagara's roar, the belching Etna, or the earthquake's ominous tread ; where ocean's mountain waves, or the northern billows of snow ? And take away these mighty manifestations of power and awful gran deur from nature, aud what a stupid, un impassioned, tame and loveless thing nature would be! Would not youth's enthusiasm, the poets inspiration, the whole imagination of the world die in this insane and monotonous calm ? And if Divine Providence had not a greater ÜBe for human passion, and tho impulsive and perilous constituents in our nature, than wo ordinarily dream ; if God were as much discouraged by the emula tions and conflicts and outbreaks of human nature as we are, He would do what proph et* and priests havo always in His name been threatening—blot out the race and begin over again. But He U never dis couraged, and never joins the party of de spair. Men put their own doubts and fears in His mouth. Tbey abuse in His name the nature He made; the world He gov erns ; tbe passions He wrought in His ce lestial fires ; the compound, fiercer than gunpowder, He brewed in His volcanic lab-oratory, when Humani ty was fashioned. But He sends new regiments of His offspring with every freih day into the field of life. Thirty thousand human infants every circuit of the sun open the womb to exercise tbo wondrous nature God has given to human ity, and to contribute the vitalizing power of their instincts, reasons, affections, pas sions, conscience, to the stock of human Uf*. Would the Divine goodness, wisdom and omnipitence thus for countless genera tions renew and pepetuate a cursed, a de praved, a hated and aruiu«drace? Would not God in mercy, suffer it to die out? If It repented Him that He bad made man in the earth, was there no other tscape than to suffer countless millions of these abortive beings to swarm in new generations, and cover the earth with their crimes and tbeir shame ? Believe, who can, io a God who creates, endows and propagates moral beings capa ble of reason and couscienee, and yet chiefly wretched failutes, plotters against Hl* will, defcaters of His providence V Believe, who can, in that history of our race that begins in shame and ends in ruiu ? Believe, who can, iv an infinite God curs ing His children l-ar inheriting faults and ■las, and trending into permanent misery tho vest majority of all tbo men and wo ' men who have bic-thcd tho air of life ? : Is It this contemptuous, disparaging aud (1,000-7 view of our nature and ciroiim ! -.uncea that can auiroata love for our Maker, sensibility to hun.aa want*, tender- MM to sinner.,, paver dovotion to human lopfOvfflHQt ? Why ibottttl we love tboee whom God bates, or fly to tbe rencuo of those He ftbftedonit Why should we have more patience than Ho has with the wicked, or maintain our hopefulness of the raco when He repenta Himself ot its creation ? tion ? Oh, brethren, these are bold figures of speech ; words put in times of earnest feeling into God's mouth which woro neither designed to teach what has beeu brought out of them nor to discourage aud humiliate. There is no ground, and there never could bo any ground, of real contempt for human nature as a whole. Paris of it we despise as we despise even tho more necensary parts of our bodies. The higher faculties sit in judgment upon the lower. It is tho nature of reason to upbraid the passions, but it is the nature of the passions to continue their existence in spito of reason. It is the nature of conscience to upbraid evory feel ing that is beneath the highest we ever ft el. Yet wo cau no more always feel as wo do in our highest hours than we can stay at tho ceiling which by a leap we touch with our Goger-tips. It is the busi&(ll of mor ality and piety to urge their cause, and often with censorious aud denunciatory words. They cannot make sin too hateful; they cannot upbraid folly and rice with too stinging a tongue. Nothing has ever been said of man so bad that it is not true o.f some men, and nothing so good that it is not true of other men. But it ia not man, but God, wo deride and condemn when we deny the goodness of the nature He has given us, or despair of the raco Ho has created in Hia own nature.

NATIOICAL Ghanoe, Washington, D. 0. It is evident to all intelligent minds that the time b»8 ccme whtn those engaged m rural pursuits should bave an organization d.v.ted entirely t-j their interests. Sucn it id intended to make tho Order of Pitrons. it was inatituted in lSt>7; in growth Is unprecedented in the bi-tory of _*-crot a* sjciatione, and it is acknowledged one of the m-i_t useful and powerfut or_;*niz_tious in the United Motet, itsi grand objects are not only general im provement In husb*iidry, but to increase the general happiness, wealth, and proapoilt> of the country. It id founded upon tbe axioms that the products of the s.il eomp is. the bast* of all wealth ; that indt- Ttdunl happiness depends upon genernl pronpertiy, and that tho wealth of a c untry depends upon tho genural intelllg tnco and mental culture of t_M pro ducing cHesea. Iv the meetings of this Order all but members are excluded, and there is iv its proceedings a symbol ized ritual, pleading, beautiful, and eppropnate, which it designed not only to charm the funcy, but to cultivate and enlaigo t_e mind and purity tlie htfftrt, having at the same timu } strict adaptation to rural pursuits. Ttio secrecy of the ritual and procnodiugs of the Order have b_en adopted chiefly tor the purpose of accomplishing desired efficiency, extension, aud uni ty, and tj secure among its members, iv the in oriial work'ng of the Or_or, confidence, harmony, and se curity, .v..ur a aro admitted to full rnumberhip, and we solicit the co-op oration of woiu.u because of a conviction that wituout her ad success will be leas certain and decided. Alucn might be Hid in this conuo.-tion, but every husband and brother knows that where he cau be accompanied by his wife or sister no lessons will be learned but those of purity and truth. The order of the Patrons of Husbandry will ac complish v thorough nystomatic organization among Jaruier. aut Horticulturists tbioughout tho United tttutes, aud will secure uiuoug them intimate social relations and ufquuintinoo with each other, fur the advancement and elevation of their pursuit-), with an appieciatlonaud protection of their true interests. By hUvh means may bo accomplif-bed that which exists throughout the country in all other avocations und ain;jcgnil othtr clas-ies—combined co-operative association for individual improvement aud common benefit. Aiming tho advantages which may be derived from the Order are systematic arrangements tor procur ing a' d disseminating, iv tbe most expeditious man ner, information rcl_tive to crops, demand nnd sup ply, prices, market*, and trauspoi tation throughout the couutry ; also fir the puichnee aud exchange of stock, seeds, and desirea varieties of plants and trees, and for the purp >_o of procuring help ut home or from abroad, and situations for persons seeking employment; also for ascertaining aud testing the merits of newly-inveated farmiug implements and those not iugeuor.l uso, aud for detecting aud ex posing those that axe unworthy, aud for protecting, by all available means, the tarmiug interests from (rand and deceptiou, andcombintttl us of every kind.
