Tho Four Philosophers.
Four great philosophers
Oonif every y e.ir;
Teach in the open air,
Then disappear.
Winter's the Stoic,
So chill and heroic;
Ile sits in the mountain breeze biting and
pure,
And when, to bring fear and doubt,
Damp night, and winds are out,
Wraps an old cloak about-he eau endure.
Spring, at dull hearts to mock,
Comes in a farming frock,
"With garlands and ploughshare a lesson
doth give;
Ile sings through the field awhile,
Turns up the soaking sou.
All haste and laughing toil-briskly can
live.
Summer, with mantle free,
Epicurean he,
Lolls in t lie cooling shade, like a tired boy;
While blasting suns unkind,
Leave the stout mower, blind,
Where faints the mountain wind-he can
enjoy.
Autumn, when all are done,
He's the good Christian one;
Fills well thc granaries where seeds may
lie
New, coming years to bless;
Then in his russet dress,
All hope aird quietness-sweetly can die.
COUSTRY PLEASURES.-A writer in !
an English periodical thus pleasantly :
di seo ti rs os upon some of the pleasures
of the country:
Thor? is a constant source of inno?
cent pleasure in little country caves,
in planting and tending trees and
flowers, in sympathising with one's
horses and dogs-even with pigs and
poultry. Take the senior wrangler
from his collego, and put him down in
a pretty country parsonage; and in a
few weeks li? will take kindly to train?
ing honeysuckle and climbing roses,
h? will lind scope for his mathematics
in laying out a flowergarden, and he
'.viii be all excitement i:i planning and
carrying out an overgreen shrubbery,
a primrose bank, a little stream with a
tiny waterfall, spanned by a rustic
bridge. Proud will he be of that
piece of engineering, as ever wa?
Robert Stephenson when be had
spanned the stormy Menai. There is
something in all this simple work that
makes a man hind-hearted; out-of-door
occupation of this sort, gives one much
more cheerful views of men and things,
and disposes one to sympathise hear?
tily with the cottager proud of his
little rose plots, and of his enormous
gooseberry that attained to renown in
the pages of the county newspaper.
I remember to have read somewhere
of an humble philanthropist who
undertook the reformation of a number
of juvenile thieves-, and for that end
employed them in a large garden
somewhere near London, lo raise vege?
tables and flowers for the market.
There did the youthful prig concen?
trate his thoughts on the planting of
cabbage, and find the unwonted de?
light of a day spent in innocent labor;
there did the areA sneak bud the rose,
and set the potato; and there, as days
passed on, under the gentle influence
of vegetable nature, did a healthier,
happier, purer tone come over the
spiritual nature, even as a healthier
blood came to heart and veins. The
philanthropist was a trne philosopher.
There is not a more elevating and pu?
rifying occupation than thato! tending
the. plants of the earth. I should
never be afraid of finding a man re
veii?pj!"ul, malignant, or ctuel, v.hom I
knew to be fond of his shrubs and
flowers.
OK GnowiNo OLD.-A writer in
Chambers Journal, makes th? follow?
ing excellent remarks on female? grow?
ing old:
'To grow old gracefully, aa one
who truly has exemplified her theory
has written and expressed ir, is a good j
and beautiful thing; to crow o I'd
worthily, a better. And the firstefibit
to that end is not only to recognize,
but to become personally reconciled j
to the fact of youth's departure; to see,
or, if not seeing, to have faith iii the
wisdom of that which we call change,
yet which is in truth progression; to
follow openly and fearlessly, in our?
selves and our own life, the same law
which makes spring pass into surn:;ier,
summer into autumn, autumn into
winter, preserving an especial beauty
and fitness in each of the four. Yes,
if women could only believe it, there ;
is a wonderful beauty iu growing old.
The charm uf expression arising from
softened temper or ripened intellect
often amply atones for the loss of form
and coloriug; and consequently, to \
those who ??ever could boast of either J
of these latter, years give much more |
than they take away. A sensitive .
person often requires half a lifetime to i
get thoroughly used to this corporeal i
machine, to attain a wholesome indif- '
terence, both to its defect and periec- j
dons, and to learn at hist, what nobody ?
would acquire from any teacher but
experience, that il is tue mind alone
which is of any consequence; that with
a good temper, sincerity, and a mode?
rate stock of brains, or even the two
former only, any sort of body can in j
time be made useful, respectable, and
agreeable ns <i traveling dress for the J
soul. Many a one, who was al solute!}' j
plain in youth, thus grows pleasant ami
well-looking in declining years. You t
will hardly ever find anybody, not ugly ;
in mind, who is repulsively ugiy in j
person after middle life.
PLEASURES OF COXTEXCMKXT.-1 i
have a rich neighbor that is always so !
busy that li? has no leisure to laugh -
the whole business of his life is to get
money, and more money, that la
may still net more and moro money.
Ile is still drudging on, saying thai
Solomon says, 'The diligent hand
rnaketh rich.' And it is true. ind?-.-vi;
but he confiders not that it is m>t hi
the power of tidies to make a mar.
happy; for it was wisely said by a
man of great observation, that 'lhere
be as many miseries beyond riches as
on this side of them.' And yet. God
deliver us from pinching poverty, and
grant that, having a competency, we
may be content and thankful. Let na
not, repine, or s:> much as think the
gifts of God unequally dealt, if we see
another abound with riches, when, as
God knows, the cares that are the keys
that keep those riches, hang often so
heavily at the rich man's girdle, thar
they clog bim with weary days and
restless nights, even when others sleep
quietly. We see but the outside ol
the rich man's happiness; few consider
him to be like the silk worm, that,
when she seems to play, is at the very
same time spinning her own bowels,
and consuming herself. And tins
many rich men do-loading
selves with corroding cares lo keep
what they have already got. Let us,
therefore, be thankful For health and
competence, and, above all, for a quiet,
conscience.-Izaak Walton.
At the close of the sitting of the
House of Representatives at Springs
field, Illinois, last Thursday, the clerk
read the following: "I nm requested to
announce that Rev. Dr. McFarland
will deliver a lecture this evening in
this Hall, on the 'Education ol Idiots.'
Members of the Legislature arc in?
vited to attend!"' The announcement
was received with shouts o? laughter
by the members present.
Gravitation ha?, nini 1 all immer si'y,

it roan ned n tear.
NONI: STAND AI.ONK.- It is in the
providence of Clod that none stand
alone; wc touch each other, man acts
on man; heart on heart; we are bound
up with each other; hand is joined in
hand; wheel sets wheel in motion: we
arc spiritually linked together, arm
within ann; we cannot live aloi:o, nor
die alone; we cannot say, I w ill only
ron risks with my own soul; I am
prepared to disobey the Lord for such
a pleasure or such a gain, but 1 clo not
want to implicate others; 1 only want
to be answerable for myself. This
cannot be. Each living soul has its
influence on others in some way and to
some extent, 'consciously or uncoil
sciously; each has some power, more
or Ie3s, direct or indirect; one mind
colors another: a child acta on chil?
dren; servants on their fe'low-servants; j
masters on those they employ; parents j
on their children; friends on friends. |
Even when we do not design to in-1
tinonee nthcrs, when we are not think- :
ing, in tlie least; degree, of the effect
of what we do. when we are ur.con
scien? that vv?; Lave any influence at
all, when we do not wi?h our conduct, j
or way of lifo to affect any but our?
selves: our manner of life, our conver?
sation, our leed-, aro ali the while
having weight somewhere,or somehow
our feel leave their impression, though
we may not look behind U3 to see the
mark.
[Sermons for Christian Seasons.
THU EAGLE.-lu the book of Deu?
teronomy wo have a very animated
and beautiful nIlusi?n to the eagle, and
the method of exciting the onglets to
their fust flight; and comparing her
proceeding on that occasion to Je?
hovah's care of his people, and method
ot instructing them how to aim nt
and to attain heavenly object?. 'As
an eagle stir* elli her nest, ?iuttofeth
over her voting, spr-%.. loth abroad her
wiiioi, so Jehovah, alone, did ?ead
them.'
Sir IT. 1) ivy relates his having had
an opportunity of witnessing thc first
[lights ol tl.i: eaglets fr-eu their cvrie.
Thc old bird?:, at first, made small
circles, and the young imitiAed tuen.:
they paused on their wings and then i
took a second and longer compass, j
always rising towards the sun, and cn- I
larging their circle of flight, so as to i
make a gradually extending sn: ral; thc
young still slowly followed, appan nth
flying better as they mounted; and
they contiuued this sublime exercise,
always rising till they wore lost to
sight. How powerfully ought this to
excite Christian parents to teach their
children betimes to look towards
heaven and the ?Son of Righteousness,
and to elevate their thoughts thither
more and mor? on the wings of faith
and love.. themselves all the while'
going before their., and encouraging
them bv their own example.
