So that all particular Christianities are distortions of thegreat origins]. like paintings placed in a falselike those grotesque images seen in the c uthings, which.—lengthen or shorten as they may,-beauty that depends upon proportion. The student will find inhis religion the nutriment of diviuest speculation,—tbe Iof a sublime philosophy in which hear™ resolves the greatproblems of duty, fate and futurity; and when his genius soarsto the highest heaTen of invention, he feels that he is borneupon his faith, as on eagle's wings. The patriot, cast on evil

times, without a glimpse of these contemplative subtleties, seesin it the law of liberty,—hears in it a clear call, as from tbetrump of God. to vindicate the rights of the oppresslights to read how Christ provoker] bigots to gnash Ibeirwith rage, and Paul proclaimed that of one blood were all na-tions made. The peasant lays to heart its mercy to the pure,and its promise to the good. Tbe merchant takes it as the rootof uprightness; the ar? as the source of moral beau-ty the most divine. The system is edited anew in the mind ofevery class.

Various causes, both social and political, arc filling us moreand more with a manufacturing and mercantile popul itioofact, taken in all its connections, is by no means to be deplored ;

and in various ways comprises in it auguries of vast goodin themeanwhile it is attended with this particular result ;

that the spirit of gain is ascendant over every other i

pursuit by which men can be occupied. Neither pitart, nor glory, can beguile our people from their profit* War

was their madness once : but the temple of Moloch is de

and morning and evening the gates of M M thronged

now. There is the idol from whose seductions our Christianity

has most to fear. Without indulging in any sentimental

mation against the pursuit and influence of wealth, we may be

permitted to feel, that this is the quarter from which, sp«

]y, our moral and religious sentiments are most in danger of be-

ing vitiated. The habits which produce the danger may be in-

evitable. forced upon us by a hard social necessity ; still in bare

self-knowledge there is self-protection. For. tbe dafigi

vice is not like the danger of a pestilence, iu which the most uu-

As to John in th.calypse. there stands an angel in the sun; tho seraphim hang jover every flower ; God speaks in each little grass that fringes ,a mountiin rock. Then even Genius is wedded to a greutcrbliss. His thoughts shine more brilliant, when set in the light Iof Religion. Friendshipand Love it renders infinite.

HUMAN HLALTH

BY WILLIAM A. ALCOTT.

Tur motto of a medical |oumal, In Boston, man] yewwas, "The best port ofthe medical art Is the art ofavo! Hi

renting,) pain." Buohamotti forthethne,but it .loos bi > i,,,,ii,-r for Is js :

the last quarter of a oovitnrv has taught us that th,

the medical art is the art ,,: j ran.,-ting mil mi.mi,

health.True it is, that the idea of manufacturing health ttUy

some few individualsas rather strange . bul nol BO vvnhgent medical men They know, full well, that hiwell be manufactured as di-, .?-.- an 1 could .ing by it, would !- Ihandwork.

,- have vainly, or at !• I,thatwhen the grosser form- ..f intemperance, and the mure eonform won- once removed from outwould have littl. - arlook—or alcome short ofthe great idea that there isa world ol

the lino of mor.which few have as yet entered. In other wori _-otih.ithealth. Ii',. Iexcellence, is progress

They also forget—or rather, as] y, never knew—that this w.rld of health which lies open to ns beyond the lineof freedom from disease, is as illimitable, at present, as the

is of knowledge and moral excellence. That Onhealth a person has, tbe more he mextent which ifnot absolutely unending, seems to us to be so in our |"low o-t.(' M 'han this, even; they oppose the senti-ment- Nor is their opposition either strange or unaccountable

But when this whole subject of improvement in health shallbe as well understood as the subject of improvement in knowl-edge and religion is beginning W be, and when the medi,ton< shall be as ready to teach us the art of manufacturinghealth, as the moral doctors now are, in some in-taius the art of manufacturing morality and religion, then willcommence a new era in human society. Then will be under-stood far better than now. the full import ofthe ling'the scripture which says, that 'eye hath • aor earheard, neither hath it entered into the heart of manthe things which God hath prepared for th'-m lhat love him ''

But let no individual for one moment suppose thai this bless-ed period will arrive without human effort. As well msuppose that the mind or any of its faculties will be cultivated.or the cause of morality and relic meed without hu-man effort or human co-operation. There must be—such is thepresent economy of the Divine Ruler ofthe Universe—a dmpreparation for every great and important change in societyNo millenium, whether to mind, heart or body, will beupon mankind by miracle.

We live in a world of means as well as ends . of cau«es a«

well as effects. We are under law. and in order to have theplans ofthe Lawgiver fully carried out. that law t.ed. Now, that there are laws of matter, no let! than law- ofmind and heart, no reasonable person will deny Who. then,

will deny that there are laws operating within tho domain of

the physical frame of man ? Have theec physical laws been

obeyed? Buc can they not be obeyed? Has God imposed on

us a code of laws which we cannot keep? No one will admitthis. What then follows, but thai IW Is to beand obeyed ? And since this law has not been regarded for tin-last five or six thousand years, and disease, and premature

I never shall forget the day she left us. to go withher grandfather to their new home. When she had token leaveof the others she came to me, as I stood trembling for fear of be-ing forgotten, and weeping with sorrow at her departure ; andin the sweet confidence of her early age. put her arms aroundmy neck, and hid her streaming eyes in my bosom. I distinctlyfelt her little heart throbbing against mine. It was too full forwords; but putting her lips to mine, she gave a kiss, whoculated me with the tender passion.
