The Painter. BY JOHN O. WHITTIKR. Around the mighty master came The marvels which hie pencil wrought. Those miraclea of power whose fame Is wide as human thought. There droop'd thy more than mortal face, O Mother, beautiful and mild ! Enfolding in one dear emhraco Thy Saviour and thy child ! The rapt brow of the Deaert John; The awful glory of that day When all the Father's brightness shone Through manhood's veil of clav. And, 'midst gray prophet forma, and wild Dark visions of the days of old, JIow sweetly woman's beauty smiled Through locks of brown and gold I There Fornarina's fair young face Once more upon her lover shone, Whose model of an angel's grace lie borrow'd front her own. Slow paas'd that vision from my view, But not the lesson which it taught. The soft, calm shadows which it threw ?>lill rested ou my thought. The truth, that nair.ter, hard and sage, Even in earth a cold and changeful climc, 1'lant for their deathless heritage The fruits and flowers of time. We shape ourselves the joy or fear Of which the coming life is tnade, And 611 our future's atmosphere With sunshine or with shade. Tbe tissue of the life to be We weave with colors all our own, And in the field of destiny We reap us we have sown. $till shall the soul around it call The shadows which it galher'd here, And painted on the eternal wall The past shall re-appear. Think ye the notes of holy song On Milton's tuneful ear have died ! Think ye that llapliaei's angel throng Has vanish'd ftoru his side f OJj no!?we live our life again : Or warmly touched or coldly dim Hip pictures of the past remain? J Man's works shall follow him ! rA* English preacher advocating the generous support of an important charitable ob ject, prefaced the circulation of the contribution boxes with the following successful appeal? "From the great smypathy I have witnessed in your countenances, and the strict ^ttentidn you have honored me with, there only one thing I am afraid of, that some of you may feel inclined to give too much.

[From the American Messenger.J "The fitarlew Crown" It km after a lingering and painful illness lliat we were at length called to stand by the dying bed of one who, though si ill in the morning of life, had given her heart to Chriat l>eft>rc the stem necessities of a lying hour drove her to him. Calmly did she look forward to the hour of her dissolution, sustained by that hope which is " anchor to the soul, sure nnd steadfast." As I we beut over her to catch the iast whispers ! of love, these words fell on our ear : " I j love my Saviour, and have confidence thai through faith in him I shall be saved ; but oh, it seeins to me that mine will be a star less crown : i do not think I have been instrumental in saving one soul." We tiied to comfort her by reminding her, that often we do not see the results ot our labor in this world ; that it might be. her consistent walk as a Christian bad been the means of inducimr ??m? r.-n? _ p ?VMI IV* IUIIOW | Christ, who would hereafter 44 ri>e up and call her blessed." Hut she continued lepealiug to herself these words: 44 A stailess crown?a starless crown and then most I earnestly did she plead with all about her1 to do something for Hiin every day ; so that when we came to die, wo need not regret that we had won no soul to Jesus, but re joice that, under God, we had been the means of leadiug many to his feet. 44 A starless crow n ; " what does it mean ? What but that we have passed through this fcorld surrounded by those who love not' that Saviour who is our all in all?have seen them unmindful of his claims to their love and service, and have not been the mean-, of rescuing one of thein from 44 the death that never dies." Full well we know that44 no man can come to Christ, except the Fath er draw hiuibut as well do we know that 44 in due season we shall reap, if we faint not;" that u he that goetli forth and weepelh, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing hU sheaves with him." Our own salvation is not tho only do-ign for which we were called from darkness, an 1 44 translated into the kinndom of G.w'V ? ? .. K.^4,. Son." No ; litis in a narrow, ungenerous view to take of the noble and ennobling scheme of redemption. When we have ourselves experienced the preciousness of Jesus* love, and feel that by his grace wo are delivered from the thraldom of sin. as well :s saved from everlasting death, w hat can we do but endeavor with all the energies which God has given us to bring others to the same 8a viour, who is as ready to save them us us ? j "Oh, fellow Christians, let us be up and doing." "The night is far s|>cnl, the day is at hand what wn do for our Saviour, and for the souls perishing about us, must bo done quickly. The emissaries of Satan are busy on every side, fulfilling his crrands.de tennined to chase to their prison of despaii as many souls as will be " led captive at his willand shall we be less jealous of our Master's honor, less active in his cause I Remember, every soul saved adds one more to that " innumerable throng" who ca-t their crowns at Jesus' feet, and asciiho to him the praise of their salvation. Kverv day we may do something for Ilim who has done so much, aye, who has done everything for us.

And 1 although it is not the most common bread 1 used in every country, yet.we believe it is ' the most highly esteemed hj all. Where, ' or by whom leavened bread was first discov- 1 ercd, is unknown. The eailiest historv in 1 forms us that the most ancient matrons of! | Israel were acquainted with it, but the name 1 for the good housewife who made the first 1 discovery, is not handed down in the olden ' chronicles. !f her name were known, she ' certainly would deserve the fir>t toast at all 1 public dinners, (and private ones, too.) but sinco this is unknown, wo conjecture the discovery was made by accident; undoubtedly it never resulted from reasoning a jtrivi, as < no one, naturally, would suppose that the fei mentation of flour was anything but a < rotting process, rendering it not only useless, < but positively injurious fov human food in ! any form. I A certain quantity of flour is put into a i vessel, unit mivo.t mill T ...? <> tci mm quaniHV Ol j milk-warm w*ter and a little yeast, then I kneaded to proper consistency, exposed to a I heat of about Co Fall, for a few hours, when | it rises, as it is termed, and is afterward j kneaded again with some fresh flour, then j put into an oven and baked ; it is taken out' in the fain of loaves, called " baked wheaten bread." This is about all that is known. | j generally, of the philosophy of bread-inak-i I ing. I C hemists oilier in opinion rogniding the 1 primary cause of fermentation ; but it is known that leaven induces this action in dough, and that alccliol and carbonic acid are formed thereby, the flour being deconiJ posed and passing off in tlie form of these , substances. Tliis js the reason why some have decried the use of leaven bread, be-1 cause they said it was formed by wasting I "some of the nutriment.of the flour." Hut; as none of the nutritious part of (lie flour is | driven oil" in fermentation, only carbon and ! hydrogen ? respiratory substances -r? being j dispersed, the'r loss is compensated by the. improved healthful quality and pleasant taste i of such bread. R used bread, made of effervescing salts, I such as sakeraius, is not so palatable, so healthy, nor will it keep so long, as broad raised by fermentation. The public has of-1 ten times been cajoled by persons nretemlinnr! " i to make luend which contained all the nli- j uient of the Hour that passes oH an spirit in ! fermented bread. A moment's reflection j will convince any person that, weight for | weight, fermented bread must contain tlioi greatest amount of nutriment, because for- j mentcd bread contains a great amount of | respiratory substances, and, as a consequence, less of the nutritious. One part of the philosophy of bread-niaking?and it is to this feature we wish more particularly to invite general attention?is the maintaining of the lt?MU constantly above ; the boiling point of water. The starch ofj Hour is insoluble in water at a temperature below 212 deg. It baa to bo well boiled before it becomes soluble ; but when moistened with water, and exposed for a short time in an oven to a heat of about 300 deg. F..h., (never below 212 deg. at Ic tst,) its na-1 ture is changed?it becomes dextrine, which j is solu He in cold water. The beat of every loaf of bread placed in an oven must be exposed to 212 dec. Fall, nt least, or it will 110: l?e properly baked, 1 and cannot be easily digested?heavy, iw j perfectly baked bread is, therefore, not only 1 unpalatable, but also unhealthy. The bakers of Pari* have a world-wide celebrity for making beautiful fermented bread. Their skill and science are mostly displayed in managing the temperature of their own ovens ; they employ thermometers 1 to indicate their heat, and watch them with unceasing attention; their baking beat is j maintained from 21*2 dog. to 400 dog. Fall. | The Fat Man. ! There is something cordial about a fat ! man. Every lardy likes him, and be likes everybody. Vour Mirnaelites are, in truth, a harehoned race; a lank tribe they arc, skeleton and bile. Food does a fat man; good : it clings to him ; it fructifies on hiiu ; 1 j he swells nobly out, and tills a generous 1 _ ! *_ If " space in ilie. ue is h living, walking mm- i ister of gratitude to the earth nn<l the full-! noaa thereof; an incarnate testimony against the vanities of care ; a radiant manifestation of the wisdom of good humor. A fat man, therefore, almost in virtue of being a fat man, is per ue, a popular man, and commonly he well deserves his popularity. In a crowded vehicle the fattest inati will evor be most ready to make room. Indeed, be seems to be half sorry for his size, lest it be in the way of olhera ; but othera would not have hint less than he is, for his humanity ' is usually commensurate will) his bulk. 4 fat man has abundance of rich iuice*. The binges of his system are yell flilej; the springs of his being are noiseless; and so he 1 goes on his way rejoicing, in full content-; ment and placidity. A fat man feels his; position solid in the world; he knows ilpit ' iio bns a marked place in the unjverse, and tlinl ho need take no extra pains to advertise mankind that ho is among them ; he known that ho is in no danger of being overlooked. It does really take a deal of wrong to make one really hate a fat man ; and if we are not always as cordial to a thin man us we should Ik?. Christian charity should tako into account the force of prejudice which we liavo to overcome again-t his thinness. A fat man is nearest to that most [ erfoct of figures, a mathematical sphere ; a hin man to that most limited of coueeiva L?Ie dimensions, a simple line. A fat man is a being of harmonious volume, and holds relations to the material universe in every J i root ion; a thin man has nothing but length ; a thin man, in fact, is but the continuation of a point. ? - Go it While You're Young.

BY L. W. DAVIS. Awake, re dtunknrdA, and weep and < liowl all ve drinkers of wine. For the | drunkard and the glutton shall coine to pov- ( erty ; nor shall thieves, nor coveters, nor | drunkards, nor revellers, nor extortioners, in- ( herit the kingdom of God. Woe unto them , that rise up early in the morning that they | may follow strong drink; that continue tin* I til night, till wine inflame them. Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into liie taher* 1 uacle of tho congregation, lest ye die; it shall ho a statute forever throughout your generations. St long drink shall he hitter to thein that drink it ; neither shall any 4 i i- t |Fne*i <inuK wine wneii inoy enter the inner court, for they have also erred through strong drink, and through wir.o arc out of the whv. The priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink ; the)' are swal i lower! up of wine, tliey are out of the way through strong drink, they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. Who hath woe? who hath sorrow ? who hath contentions ? who hath babbling ? who hath wounds without cause ? who hath red ncss of eyes ? They that tarty long at the I wine, tliey that go to seek mixed wine Look thou not upon the wine when it is I red, w hen it giveth its color in the enp, when i it. inovelli itself aright. z\t the last it bii teth like a serpent, and stingelh like an nd| der. Names of tiik Days ok tiie Week.?It is not strange that Christians should have been found in the universal use of names of days of the week, Hrst employed in honor of pagan deities?as the following interesting j items of history show : In the Museum of Berlin, remarks a writer in a Newark cotemporarv, in the hall devoted to northern antiquities, they have the representation of the idols from which ! the names of the days of our weeks are de | rived. From the idol of the Sun comes ! Sunday. This idol i< represented with his face i like the Sill). holdin?T a burning u-IimI ... , C- ? wwv.l j hands on ii.i breast, signifying his course | around the world. The idol of the Moon, S from which comes Mondnv, is inhabited in a 1 short coat, like a man, but holding the i Moon in his bands. Tuisco, from which | coineth Tuesday, was one of the most ancient and popular gods of the Germans, and 1 is icpresenled in his garment of skin, nci cording to their peculiar manner of clothing. , The third day of the week, dedicated to his worship?Woden from whence Wednesdiy, i who was a valient prince among the Saxons. iiU image was prayed to for victory, 'l'hor, from whence Thursday, is seated on a bed i with twelve stars overhead, holding a ham1 mcr in his right hand. Friga, from whence i j we have Friday, represented with a drawn I sword in his right hand, and a bow in his ; left. He was the giver of peace and plenty. Seater, from whom is Saturday, has the appearance of perfect wrctche I ncss ; he is tliinvisaged, long-haired, with a long heard. He carries a pail of water in his light hand, ! wnereiu are truils and flowers. | ! Intkrkstino Facts adout tiik Koran. The Koran was written a'>out A. 1). 010. ! Its general aim was to unite the professions of Idolatry and the Jews and Christians in I the wc.iship of one God?whoso unity was | the chief point inculcated?under certain | i laws and ceremonies, exacting obedience to ! I Mahomet ns the prophet. It was written in j the Koieish Arabic, and this language, i which oertainly possessed every line quality, was said to be that of paradise. Mahomet , asserted that the Koran was revealed t ) 'him, during n period of twenty t! reo years, j ' by the Angel Gabriel. The style of the vol- j time is beautiful, fluent, and concise, nnd j j where the majesty and the attributes of God | aie described it is sublime, magnificent. 1 Mahomet admitted the divine mission both ! of Moses and Jesus Christ. According to j j Gibbon, the leading article of faith which! I M.ihomet preached is compounded of an ! eternal truth and a necessary fiction, pan)P-1 li ... . - * : iy, that there is only one Orvl, and that Ma- j ; hornet is the apostle of God. The Koran i j was translated into Latin in 1143, and into ' ! English and other European languages about 1703. It is a rhapsody of 3,000 veri ses, divided into 114 sections. ... Giiikfs ok Boyhood.?God have mercy Ion the boy who learns to grieve earlv. I Condemn it as a sentiment, if you will, taik i ms yon will of the fearlessness and strength of the boy's heart, yet thero belong to it many tenderly strung chords of affection, which give forth low and gentle music, that cons des and ripen* the ear for 9II the harmonies of life.
