But e’en so, with consoling finger Hope points to the life above, Where beyond the dark night of sorrow Is the dawn of eternal love, And What a death I God took him as he had taken Enochâ€"took him, soul and body, into His own charge, took him in the prime of his mental and bodily strength, before his eyes had become dim or his natural force abated, his work accomplished, his last words of warning and comfort uttered, his last song sung, his last prayer said: Ere the pilgrim soul go forth, On its journey, dark and lone, Who isthe that yet on earth All his needful work has done? Then her step was so firm and eager, It is now so subdued and slow ; Then ’twas he who had stooped tokiss her, She must kneel to kiSs him now. 9' So, no doubt, it may have seemed to Moses. His career was as yet in- complete, the prize forlwhich he had labored as yet unwon. But it was not God’s will that he should go further. There, in sight of Canaan, he was to be “delivered from the burden of the flesh” and be~“in joy mume a for brighter land, whence he might still, perhaps, watch over those whom he had lod'like a flock. Thus did he leave the scenes of earth, who is uni- versally regarded as the most ancient and the greatest of law-givers and benefactors of the human race. To him the world owes more than to all the heroes in word or act, of ancient Greece or Rome; yet God, in His wisdom, left not his remains among those who had. most reason to love and venerate his memory. The hea- then nations made gods and demigods of their illustrious men, of those who had rescued them from peril or had blessed them by useful inventions. discoveries or law-s. But it was in direct opposition to God’s purpose in His choice of Israel as the matrix of that truth which was in the fulness of time to be the heritage of Gentile as Well as Jew, that he should have any rival in the hearts of His ' people. Hence the strange summons by which Moses was Withdrawn from the victo- rious tribesâ€"strange as his birth and life. Hence “no man knoweth his sepulchre to this day.” No Worship- ping crowds gather around the spot where all that earth claims of the great legislator and poet and warrior reposes. Night and day and day and night go by and generation succeeds generation, but the bones of the Pro- phet are watched over by God alone; they . have returned to the ground from which they were taken, “earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.” And still Moses liveth in the highest sense. Through the long ages be-: tween his death and the Prophet.i whom he foretold with such meekness, yet with holy pride, he, in his writ- ings and in his memory, continued to be the leader, the companion, the .teacher' and the comforter of the chil- ldren of Israel. Nay more, his influ- ence has a wider range since His com- ing of whom he, in person, and his successor, in name, were types and promises. Not only in the tents of Shem, but among the multitudes of enlarged Japheth, and even among the dark descendants of degenerate Hum, has he whose dust rests in the lonely Meabite valley, at local habitw tion and a name, an influence for ood, which is only second to that of ‘hrist Himself. The law delivered amid such solemn, awe-inspiring sur- roundings on the Mount of God, is still therbas'is ofthe laws of the civil- ized world; and the Ten Command- ments and'the Sermon on the Mount are placed side by side in the divine code of Christian morality. If the latter was uttered by the lips of Him who “spake as never man spake,” so were the former “ written by the finâ€" ger of God.”â€"Aew Dominion Monthly for May. ’ Every woman may be said to XL at forty.

RICHMOND mLL, ONTARIO, CANADA, FRIDAY, MAY 1873- Romance in real life is by no means rare, and a story is told of a. pair of lovers which owes its chief interest to the fact that it is strictly true. Years ago, a beautiful young Boston girl was sent to the .Vermont hills, to arrest, if possible, the indications of approaching consumption. She recovered her health, and meantime inflicted 9. cureless ground upon the heart of an intelligezfi: and well-educated young farmer’s souf Un- like Lady Vere de Vere, she ,V not scorn his timid affection, but re rrned it heartily, referring him to her ither. That traditionally unromantic person- sonage wouldn’t hear of it, having, as is customary in such cases, selected a more suitable yartner for his child. The young man retired, went W est, and made a large fortune, and the young woman married the man prescribed by her father. She went to live in France ; her husband died in two years, and, her parents also dying, she remained abroad. The memory of her first romance faded with her as with its object, who, though unmarried, was too busy in making money 'for tender thoughts. Last year his business took him to Europe, and one night found him on a little steamer plying between Marseilles and Leghorn. A storm came up, and a lady who had risen from her seat on deck to go below was thrown overboard .by e. sudden lurch of the vessel. The sometime farmer jumped after her, and, though in the dark the steamer drifted away from them, they clutched a. providential plank and floated until morning, .when they were picked up by another vessel. During that night, in the cold and the darkness, they discovered in each other the loved and lest of earlier yearsâ€"â€" The old feeling came back in that fear- ful hour. and on their arrival at Malta they were married. End of the poetry. The rest is prose. ' A contemporary has an itemabout school teaching, and mentions that an irrato father in its locality does not approve of the system in vogue. He declares that it is making candidates for the insane asylum, and piling up a heap of misery in many forms. Kflo desires that there should be reason; able: Win-wheels, begnfifi with the teachers. One thing whic‘ especially rouses his wrath is the way in which tired parents are forced to teach their sleepy children, during the evening, the lessons which they go to school the next day merely to recite. He demurs, and with reason, at doing the mental drudgery for which he liberally pays others who are purposely fitted for it. In all our cities parents are complaining bitterly of the studying at home to which their children are forced, on pain of falling below their classes. N o father wants to teach school dur- ing his leisure hours. and no child should be compelled to spend so much of the day in brain-work. Fewer studies and strict discipline in the schools would make sufficient time for memorizing of lessons at the the desk. It is the great fault ofour school system that it demands that children should occupy themselves with more studies atone time than than they are able intellectually to master. They are crowded ahead too fast. They should have a reasonable amount of time for recreation. This subject is worthy of serious thought by parents and teachers everywhere. Of all parts of the body, there is not one which ought to be so carefully attended to as the feet. Every per- son knows from experience that colds, and ' many other diseases that proceed from the same, are attribut- able to cold feet. The feet are such a distance from the “ wheel at the cist- ern” of the system, that the circula~ tion of the blood may be very easilyi checked 1n them. You see all this,l and although every person of com»; mon ‘sense should be aware of the truth of what we have stated, there is‘ no part of the body so much trifled with as the feet. The young and would-be genteel footed, cramp their feet into thin-soled, bone-pinching boots, in order to display no It feet, in the fashionable sense of the term. Now this 18 very wrong. In cold weather, boots ofgood thick leather, both in soles and uppers, and large enough to give free circulation of the blood in the feet, should be worn by all. They should be water-tight but not air tight; it injures the feet, to wear an air-tight covering over them. India-rubber shoes or boots should not be worn except in wet and slushy weather, and then taken off as soon as the exposure to it is over. N 0 part l of the body should be allowed to have a covering which entirely obstructs the passage of the carbonic acid gas from the pores of the skin outward, and the moderate passage of the air inward to the skin. There is one great evil against which every person should be on the guard, and it is one which is seldom guarded. We mean the changing of warm for cold boots or shoes. A change is often made irom thick to thin-soled shoes, with- out reflecting upon the consequences which might ensue. It is a danger- ous practice, and many an individual has suffered hours of illness because of it ' ‘ About School Teaching. An Incident. The Feet. An ingenious attempt at smuggling tobacco has been frustrated on board the Rotterdam steamer Waterloo.

The King of Dahomey recently gave an cx-der to a W sf, Coast merchant for a cofiin, and the latter has commissioned a Birmingham merchant to execute His Majesty's wishes. The coffin is to be a. most. elaborate metal one, and will cost about £1,000. manufactured tobacco befieatli-ib. The owners were fined £2 and £3 respec- tively. In Paris the ladies have. adopted the Lewis XIII. vest, a curious garment, trimmefi with a. band of feathers of every imaginable color. A Chinese company has purchased the plant: stock, good will, etc., of the London Mission Press 3 it intends to print native works, and pubhsh a daily paper in Chinese. A marriage is about to be celebrated in Paris which has caused much gossip â€"more, perhaps, than any nuptials have excited since those of Mddle. de Custellanne. '1‘ he young Baron Hozelle fie Montreuil about to marry the 01d Countes‘xs of Richemont, the owner of the famous vineyards of Bruuenberg. Baron Adolpe de Rothschild pro- poses to build and endow at Geneva, Switzerland, an hospital for eye diseases, at a cost of $100,000. The hideous custom among the Jap- anese women of blackening their teeth and shaving their eyebrows on being married or reaching a marriageable age, is 11ke‘xy to die out 01‘ become abolished, for the Empress has set the example of innovating upon this old custom, dicta- ted by As‘wtic jealousy. A telegraphic despatch from Sydney states that, previously to the prmoga- tion of Parliament, £2,000,000 were appropriated for railway extension, and £50,000 fur cmigralion purposes. The exhibition 11ml been successfully opened, Governor ’lmmuc being present. The Council of the British Society of Arts have resolved to offer the gold medal of the Society to the manufac- turer who shall produce and send to the London International Exhibition of 1873 the best collection of specimens of steel, suitable for general engineering purposee The specimens exhibited must; include a complete illustration of the application of the varieties of the steel submisted. John Kirby, seventyâ€"two years of age, who had already undergone ten years’ penal servitude, has been sentenced to twelve months’ hard labor at Ely quarâ€" ter {:sgions, for obtaining money by false protences at 'Wislaech, England. Seeing carts witlmub owners’ names zit- tached, he represented himself as a Government inspccior, reminded the parties of the penalties for omission, and obtained sums of about five shil- 1111515. Lord Shaftcsbury told in a recent speech of his liming whitewashed and painted one of the dark houses occu» pied by a. family in one of the foul disâ€" tricts of Londou,-and of finding it a short time afger Worse than ever. He said: “ What on earth is this Cl” And the reply was, “Please your honor, the house looked so cold and uncomfortable that I sent for a sweep and asked him to give us a few warm touches.” One of the porpoises at the Brighton, England, Aquarium is dead, but the spirits f the survivor seem unabated. His appetite, too, it would appear, has not suffered, for he daily devours about 83. worth of smelts, taking 160 of these fish from his attendafit’s hand. The banks are about eight feet deep ; air is pumped into them by rmachinery from bolow, to make up for the lashing of the waves, which supplies fish with that necessary. ' A lady writes in one of the Paris neWspapers: â€"“l knew that the Count and Countess of Paris intended to visit a soz'rce at Madame X’s. 1 went there “for curiosity's sake, hav- ing been intimate with the lady of the house for years past. When the Prince and Princess were announced, everybody rose and kept standing until the princess had taken aseat. I thought that etiquette would not be_ carried any further, but the Countess having risen all the com- pany rose as if by command, and only sat down again when they saw the Countess resume her seat." The papers assuming the truth of the gossip, contrast this singular be- haviour with the promises given by the Princes on their return to France, that they would never claim any other ‘rights or honours than those due to the ordinary citizens. in} the capstan, baa the head re? 1 As the cause must always be re- ‘moved to insure a cessation of effect, lso must this baseless assumption of assisting nature, by poisoning, be' abandoned, before we can get rid of the destructive medical theory. By eating unclean food, and too much of it, persons are sickened, when drug- gists proceed to dose down yet more unclean matter to clense and cure! In swallowing bad diet, the laws of health are broken and disease ensues; in swallowing yet worse drugs, the laws of health are still more danger- ously broken, and too often death en- sues. Who in his sober senses can beâ€" lieve that doses which invariably make well persons sick, can make sick persons well ? Can filth remove filth ‘1 Will Beelzebub, the chief, chief, east out his subordinates? There is but one way to swallow the drug theory, that is, ostrich-like, to run the head into sand, and force it down blind. Facts, handled by com- mon sense, are as fatal to it asis warm sunshine to ice, or light to darkness. 'Nakcd assumptions and despotic auâ€" thority may sustain the absurdity, «while simple truth and reason must overthrow it.-â€"The Science of Health Nature Cures, if Cures there Be. In all systems of error there is a starting-point usually made by afalse assumption. This is palpable in the drug theory. Assuming that disease is an enemy which a new drug dis- ease may vanquish, patients are dosed into tedious pains, fevers, and, too often, premature graves. Dr. Trall’s lucid pen has recently shown, that neither Seward nor Greeley died of natural disease, nor yet of a mysteri- ous Providence, but of poisonous drugs. Similar fatal zulministrations ended the days of Washington,“Hart risen, Taylor, and multitudes of cmi‘ nent sufferers, including millions of the obscure, whose lives, in one sense, Were none the less precious. The germ, as we have have said, of this poisonous system is, that nature don’t or won’t care. While the drug theorâ€" ists are unable to ignore the efforts of nature in this direction, they never~ theless insistthat she must be assisted to cure. Hence, under the guise of aid, they embarrass ; and on the pre- text of removmg burdens, they bind On such as are heavier and more crush- ing; and, in endeavorng to promote the process of cleansing. they sur- charge the body with the foulest mat- ter. To the majority of young people- the formation of whose habits exer- cise such an important influence on societyâ€"economy has, unfortunately, a disagreeable significance. Their impression seems to be that a spend- thrift is an amiable and rather attract- ive character, while prudence and forethought, in the matter of money, certainly do not attract, and perhaps repel a little. Now this is simply a matter ofprejudice. If thrift meant selfishness, and impudence meant un- selfishness, there might be some color of reason in the prejudice. But, at the best, it is only a question between wise selfishness and foolish selfishness. The money of spendthrifts is always spent on themselves, even if they pour it out in the lap of young com- panions. They are never philanthro- pists; they never seek out those to whom their money would be broad and health and life. ,Thcirprodigality is due to a deep-seated habit- ot' self- indulgenceâ€"thc unwillingness to sue- rifice the present to the future. And this careless disregard ofconsequen- ees often places them under the unâ€" pleasant necessity of borrowing from 1 more prudent lriends. The truth is that economy is always a necessary and noble qualityâ€"is often an heroic one. It is especially fine in those men who care littlefor money in itself. Thrift may become a passion just as self-indulgence may become a pas- sion; it is the duty of reason to curb , and regulate both. The man who has ,once began to save soon finds it to be , a greater pleasure to add fifty dollars ito his little pile than to spend that lsum upon a‘tailor or caterer. As soon as he begins to confuse the means with the end, reason should demons- trate that the present has its demands as surely as the future has its exigen- cies, So, when long habits of self- pampering have taught one to think that, he must have everything he wants, it is good to learn to deny him- self. The great value of economy is to economize to-day and not to-mor- row. We all remember the adage concerning procrastination, which in this case, is apt to be the thief of money as well as time. Women preachers are increasing rap’ idly. Ten new names have been added to the list within the last six months. The latest labor~savingy invention is a toothpick that picks both rows of front teeth at; once. A leading advantage of it, according to the inventor, is that it can also be used as a comb. It- has been decided by the Freck- ville Debating Society that the reason why hens always lay eggs in the day-time is because at night they are roosters. The only fruit, it is said, which is known to grow in évery climate, is the strawberry. It is the only fruit; which somewhere on the earth is picked every day the year round. Economy. How eloquent is silence! Acquiei- cence, contradictibn, difference, dis- dain, embarrassment and awe, may all be expressed by saying nothing. It may be necessary to illustrate this apparent paradox by a few examples. Do you seek an assurance of your lady-lovc’s affection? The fair one confirms her lover’s fondest hopes by a compliant and aseenting silence. Should you hear an assertion, Which you may deem false, made by some one of whose veracity politeness may withhold you from' openly declaring your doubt, you denoteaed-ifi'erenCe of opinion by remaining silent. Are you rcccivin a reprimand from a supe- rior? €011 mark your respect by an attentive silence. Are you compelled to listen to the frivolous conversation efa fop? You signify your opinion of him by treating his loquucity with contemptuous silence. ' Are you in the course of any negotiation about to enter on a. discussion painful to your own feelings, and to those who are concerned in it? The subject is al- most invariably prefaced by an, awk- ward silence. Silence has all its utility and ad- vantages. And first, what an invalu- able Ortinn of domestic strife might have een prevented, how often might the quarrel which by mutual aggrao vation has, perhaps, terminated in bloodshed, have been checked at its commencement by ajudicious silence! Those persons only who have experi- enced.them are aware of the benefi- cial effects of that forbearance, which to the exasperating threat, the mali- cious sneer, or the unjustly imputed culpability, shall never answor a word. Secondly, there are not wanting instances where the reputation, for- tune, tho happinessâ€"nay, the life of a fellow-creature, might be preserved by a charitable silence. Few have Sufficient respect for habit â€"the ease with which _it may be formedâ€"the difliculty with which it can be brokenâ€"the magical power with which it smooths the rough path of duty, and enables us to look with indifference upon the allure- ments of the world. It is a kind of shield, which the fingers of a boy may at first weave of threads light as gos- samer, and which yet grows into the strength of” steel. / By its aid the greatest things ere accomplished. The cultivation of proper habits should be impressed Upon the young. Isolated acts are oflittle comparative importance. In short, a correct habit of living is principle, without which no one can be happy. TEE YORK, HERALD Tamar-$093} Dallor per 4mm in Ashram: No man can get rich by sitting around the stores and saloons. Never fool in business matters. Have order, system, regularity; and also promptness. If you lmvea place of business, be found there when wanted, Do not meddle with business you know nothing of. Do not kick evfl‘y one in your path. More miles can be made in a day by going steadily than by stopping. ' Pay as you go. A man of honor respects his word as he dous his bond. Help others when'you can, but never give what you cannot afford to, simply because it is feishionable. ‘ Learn to say No. No necessity of snapping it out dog-fashion, but say it firmly and respectfully. Don’t: stop to tell stories in business hours. Use your own brains rather than those of others. ' Lem'n to think and act for yourself. Keep ahead rather than behind the times. Young men, cut this out, and if there be any folly in the argument, let us know. One of the most touching instances of gratitude is alleged to have oe- eurred in the country the other day. A little boy, the child of' a wealthy mother, tumbled into the river. He was rescued by a workingman, and restored to his broken-hearted parents. The woman gave the man u penny pdemgo stamp, and said she “ould be glad to have him come to her home, and sit out in the entry and hear her play the piano. He went away with tears in his eyes. He said he wasn’t used to such over- whelming kindness. If you are cursed with an insatiable appetite, buy a'plaid vest, :0 that you can always keep a check on your stomachl / ' _ There was once an old woman who, in answer to a visiting almoner’s in. quiries as to how she did, said,â€" “ Oh, sir i the Lord is very good to me. I’ve lost my husband, and my eldest s0n,‘and my youngest daugh- ter, and I’m half blind, and I can’t sleep or move about for the rheuma- tics: but I’ve got two teeth left in my head, and~praise and bless His holy nainel-jâ€"tbey’ro opposite each other! It has been said that this old we- man was thankful for small mercies. .UBLISHED AT THE OFFICE Ismxed \Vookly on Friday Homing, Yomz Sr. , memo” HILL; Aux. Econ, Pneumwon‘ Touching Gratitude.
