Chrijsts Legacy. ? ^
When Christ was about to dephH to
liis Father he left to hi? sorrowing disciples
a legacy and not to them only
but to all who believd'on his namo. it
was not $uch a legacy as tho wo*ld
?ives. It was not wealth so eagerly
le.jirftd by the expectant legatees, aikI
jo aiton the cause of hitter dissensions
imong them. It was no titlo honor
xmong men, no right to exercise lordship
over any. It was peace, his own
peace?'peace 1 leave with you, my
peace T give urtto you ; not as the
world giveth, give I uuto you.
Tho poace which the world gives is
1 false peace. Itisapoaco which is
hollow and insecure. It is easily destroyed.
Lot trouble^comc and it is disturbed
; let death come, and it is destroyed.
The poace which Christ gives
Is tirni and lasting. It is the peaco of
jbxl, a peace resting on the principles
it tho divine government," and hende
is stable as those. princplCs. It is peace
with _^God. ThereC is reconcillidfcon

Higher I is a \yord-of noble meaning, .
the inspiration great deeds?the
sympathetic chain that leads, link by '
link, the impassioned soul to its zenith
oi glory, and stilt holds its mysterious j
object standing glittering among the i
stars. i
Higher! lisps the infant - the clasps
its parent's knees, and makes its feeble

first aspiration of childh<5t>d?to burst ]

passed forever.;' ? ?
Higher! laughs tho proud school

of philosophy and nature; ho-lias '

all. The midnight oil in his lamp burns
dim, but be finds light and knowledge
in tho lamps of heaven, and his soul is
never weary when the last of them ia
hid behind the curtains of the liiorn"ing.
And higher! his voice thunders
forth, when the dignity of mauhood has
investod his form, and tho multitude is
listening with delight, to his oracles |
burning with' eloquence and ringing t
like true steel in the causo of freedom
and right. But when time has changed
his locks to silver, and when the maiden
gathering flowers by tho rotpl side,
and the boy in tho fields, bow in reverence
as he passes and the peasant looks;

Higher, yet! ho has reached the '
apex of earthly honor, yet nis spirit
burns as warm us in yjuthjwith a steadier
and.paler light, and it would borrow
wings and soar up to high -heaven,
leaving its tenement to moulder among
the laurels li* has \vpund around it, for

Three joliy husbands, out in the

oneJ eiHwng drinking at tho village
tavern, ujitil, being prptty well corned,
the)' agreed that cachono, oirreturning
home, should do tho first thing that '
his wife told him, in default to which
ha should the next morning pay the ,
bill. They ttatoi separated for the
night, engaging to meat again the next
morning add givo au honest account of
their proceedings at hoino, so far as 1
they related to the bill.
The next morning Walker and Brown
were early at their posts, but it was
6orao time boforc Watson made his
appearance. Walker began first:
You -sco when I entered my house
the candlo was out, and the fire gfring
but a glimmering of light, I came near
walking into a j>ot of batter that the
pancakes wore to be mako oi in the
morning. My wife, who was dread i
fully out of humor, said to me- sarcastically,?
"Bill, do you put your foot in the
batter."
"Just as you say, Maggy," said I,
and without the least hesitation I put
mv foot in tho pot of hatter and went to
bed!
Next, Joo B'ro)vn told his story ;
"My wife had already retired in our ,
usual sleeping rojn which adjoins the
kitckeu, and the door, of which was a .
jar; not being able tonavigntc perfectly,
yon Know, I made a dreadful clattering
among thp houschould furniture, 1
and my wife, in no very pleasant tone, ,
bawled out,-4k ?
"I)o break tWft porridge pot," (
"No sooner said than done. I seiz- 't
cd hold of tho handldtof the not. and I
/ _ r 7 - J
staking it against the chlranoy jam ,
broko it in a thousand piecea. After (
this exploit I retired to rest, and got ]
a cnrtain-lccture till I fell asleep."
It was now Tim Watson's time to 1
give an account of himself; which ho ;
did with a very long face, air follows : i
''My wife gavomothe most flnlucky i
command in the world; for I was blundering
up stairs in tbo dark, when she ,
criod out?
"Now, Tim, do droitk your neck."
"I'll be cnss'ed if I <fr? Kato, said 1> 1

"And so, landlord," continued Tim, i
