In tho child, tho maiden, tho wife, tho mother, religion shines with a holy benignant beauty of its own, which nothing on earth can mar. Never yet was female character perfect without the steady laith of piety. Beauty, intellect, wealth ! they arc all like pitfalls, dark in the brightest day, nnless religion throws her soft beams upon them to purity nnd exalt, making twioo glorious that which seemed all loveliness before. Religion is very beautiful, in health or sickness, in wealth or poverty. We can never enter the sick chamber of the good, but soft music pcema to float on the air, and the burden of their son<_r is : " Lo, peace is hero." Could wc loo's into the thousand of families to-day when discontent fight." sullenly with lifeT wo should find the chief cause of unhippin .-s?, want of religion iu woman. O, re I besi.jnant majesty.

Kvery such hymn in your mind, at command | when it is needed, will be worth vastly l.iovo to you than so many dollars in your pockct. i It is capital that hoars repeated and continu- ! ed investment, always rc.payingat compound rates. A good hymn, liko a good plough, bccOlllOS ill flip lirirrlitor frnin n?inir_ lint 1111 1 iko tho instrument, uso docs not wear it out or weaken its power. Like the "Fama" of Virgil, " virex arquiret cundr," tho hvnin gathers strength from rendition, and with something of mercy's quality, "itblesses him that gives and him that takes." A hymn committed to memory bccomcs a little perennial fountain, for good, in tho soul of the young Christian. It affords a snbBtantial refreshment. It does not interfere with his duties, for it is a sweetener of toil. It helps to make heavy burdens light, and dull hours cheerful. Tt either drives away care or lessons its anxieties. It brings a gleam of sunshine into tho cloudiest and darkest day. and aids in tho dovelonment of right feeling under the most unfavorable circumstances. If any one doubts thin, let him fill his I heart and mind with such a hymn as Charles "Wesley's: 44 Jesus lover of my soul, Let me to thy bosotu fly." or Cooper's : 41 Tis nty happiness below, Not to live without the cross." or Watt's: " Ant I a soldier of flio cross, A follower of die Lamb?'1 and f>cc how much fitch strains of thought, thus expressed, can be made to do for him in the appropriate circumstances. lie will sing it over to himself in the store or shop, or oflicc, and cvon in the street, though his lips may he silent, the hymn r.-ill bo found springing up a little fountain of "melodyin bishenrt unto the Word." And especially in the retirement of his own chamber will ho learn to appreciate, in some decree, its value, as hciinds if. contributing so largely to his stock of daily happiness. It adds to his store of knowlediro. it irives direc tior. to liia thoughts it opens now vicwH of truth, it furnishes topics for conversation, it enables him to wield "tho sword of the Spirit" with far greater power, and thus in a variety of ways it enlarges tlio ability of tho young Christians for effective service in the vauso of Christ.

With a young lady, it is a very different thing.

The candle on the toilette, and her luxuriant hair is speedly emancipated from the thraldom of combs and pins. If she usually wears water curls or uses the "Iron," her hair is brushed carefully from her forehead, anu the whole mass compactly secured; if not, why then her lovely tresses arc soon hid in innumerable bits of paper. This task accomplished a night cap appears, perhaps edged with .1:_ i- - - ?* * i- i. * ? i ji.iim 111 umiij, ur purnups wnu nouvy jace, which hides all, save licr sweet countenance.

A man of coursc under tlio same circumstance, neb? quite differently. Every movement indicates the coarse, rough mound of his sullen nature. When all is ready, he snuffs out the candlc with bin fingers, like a cannibal, and then jumps into bed like a savage.
