The Beauty of Holiness
"The beauty of holiness" is an
pression found several times in the
Testament. It is thought that the
originated rn the beautiful dress peer,
to the ancient priests. With this no
we do not sympathize.
Beauty is a combination of elem?
according to the lsws of harmony. A
thing is beautiful which, by our S?
of sight or sound, gives us a sen sa
of pleasure. There is the beauty of j
try-that is, of thought and expressi
the beauty of nature-that is, of si
meiry and wise adjustment of elemer
the beauty of character-the just ec
poise of superior and excellent attribi
of character. Tn the same way do
speak of "the beauty of holiness." 2
we mean holiness not so much in
abstract idea as in its practical ma
festation.
The principles of holiness are beat
ful. Religion, though not fanciful a
nnreallike poetry, is yet highly pantie
To it we ar ; indebted for most of (
beautiful poetic conception. Then he
ness as a principle must be beautiful
it is tho heart of true religion. It
dependent upon no time, place, ord<
form nor vestment. As a principle
itself it is beautiful.
Passing on from the ideal conceptk
we may safely soy that practical bo?inc
is beautiful. What symmetry it giv
to life and character I It should be
Wonder that some have been willing
worship saints who were devoutly hoi
It makes one worthy of love and aime
worthy of worship.
And that holiness which cultiv?t
- devotion to man and God, devotion to
good cause-yea, even to a bad one
times-is of itself beautiful. The prep'
et Daniel and the Apostle Pau! live t
-day as thc embodiments of devotion
principle, aud the world admires the
for it. Just as all lesser fires fade befo;
the sun, so do all lesser motives die b<
fore the principles of devotion bsget?c
by a holy life.
How beautiful, for instance, is th
'exercise of faith. When the sculpte
desires to impress us with the sense <
the beautiful ho carves from the stone
-^saajden -with upturned face waiting fe
the Lord. After Abraham has bee
dead these thousands of years, we ye
love to read of his life, and all becaus
he had faith in God that was beautiful
From how many bedsides have person
tamed away, saying, "I have witnesse<
a beautiful faith 2"
These thoughts lead us to ask a crues
tion : What is holiness-the beautifu
thing of which we speak ? We maj
readily aeswer what it -rs not. . It is no
a ritual or a conventional sanctity. I
is not to seem to be wrapt ia unearthly
contemplation. It is not to retire ir
solitude and to seek in seclusion th<
.graces acquired in active life. It is no!
' rio be elad in white garments or a sur
spliced band at Easter. It is not to in?
terlard our conversation with religious
.phrases. It is not to invest our familj
?or social circle with the solemnity of a
funeral.
What then is holiness ? It is free
.dom from external sin-from intentional
and overt deeds of evil. Therefore we
can only be relatively holy in this life,
and absolutely holy in the life to come.
We should*strive to make the relative
degree an exalted degree. A holy life
has amoral power of suasion, surpassing
?he orator's genius. The silent beauty
of holiness can speak for God louder
than the angels. Christianity owes
more to the moral beauty and power of
Christ's life than it dees to his miracles :
for after men have explained away (?)
his miracles, they cannot explain away
his character.
Holiness is truth embodied. It is the
Gospel burning in the heart, beaming
in the eye, breathing from the lip and
preaching ic the life of its votaries.
We can then see the weight of that
Baying, "De ye holy as I am holy."
Painlessness of Dying.
One of the most common notions is
that pain and dying are inseparable
companions. The truth is, they rarely
go together. Occasionally the act of
dissolution is a painful one, but this is
a rare exception to the general rule.
The rule is that unconsciousness, not
pain, attends the fiual act. Painlessly
we come whence we know not. Pain?
lessly we go, whither we know not
Nature provides an anesthetic for the
body when the spirit leaves ii. Pre?
vious to that moment, and in prepara?
tion for it. restoration becomes feeble,
generally slow and short, often accom?
plished by loDg inspiration and sudden
expirations, so that the blood is steadily
less and oxygenated At the same time
thc heart acts with corresponding debil?
ity, producing a slow, feeble pulse. As
this process goes on, the blood is not
only driven to the brain with less force,
but what flows there is loaded more and
more with carbonic acid gas, a power?
ful anesthetic, the same as that derived
from charcoal, Subjected to its influ?
ence, the nerve centres lose sensibility :
apparent sleep creeps over thc system ;
then comes stupor, and thou the end.

True Women.
Every man of sense and refinement
admires a woman as a woman, and
wheu she steps out of this character, a
thousand things that in their appropri- \
ate sphere would be admired, become dis?
gusting and offensive. Thc appropriate j
sphero of a woman demands delicaey of
appearance and manners, refinement of j
sentiment gentleness of speech, modesty
of feeling and action, a shriukiug from ;
aotoriety and public gase, aversion to j
all that is coarse and rude, and an in- j
stinctive abhorrence of all that tends to';'
indelicacy and impurity, cither in prin
ciple or action. These are thc traits I
which arc admired and sought for io j
women. :
j Beautiful Snow.

j Having buen requested bj several
! parties to furnish them copies of the
; poem entitled "Beautiful Snow," we
j adopt this method of granting their re
! quest, giving the poem and its history,
j as follows :
j in the early part of the war, one
; dark Saturday morning in the dead of
j winter, there died at tho Commercial
j Hospital, Cincinnati, Ohio, a young
j woman over whose head only two-and
j twenty summers had passed. She had
j once been possessed of an enviable
share of beauty ; had been, as she her?
self said, "flattered and sought for the
charms of her face ;" but, alas ! upon
her fair brow had long been written
that terribie word-prostitute ; Once
the pride of respectable parentage, her
j first wrong step was the small begin
j ning of the "same old story over again,"
which has been the only life-history of
j many a thousand precious souls. High
\ ly educated and accomplished in man
j ners, she might have shone in the best j
j of society. But the evil hour that!
j proved her ruin was but the door from j
j childhood ; and having spent a young !.
j life in disgrace and shame, the poor j
j friendless one died thc melancholy j
' death of a broken hearted outcast.
? Among ber personal effects was found, !
in manuscript, the "Beautiful Suow,' j
i which was immediately carried to Enos" j
B. Reed, a gentleman of culture and i
literary tastes, who was at that time
editor of thc National Union. In the j
columns of that paper, on thc morning j
following thc girPs death, the poem ap- j
peared in print for the first time !
When the paper containing the -poem j
came out on Sunday morning, thc body !
of the victim had cot yet received buri- j
al. Thc attention of Thomas Buchanan j
Reed, one of the first of American poet?, j
was soon directed to the newly publish- j
ed lines, who was so taken with the !
stirring pathos, that he immediately j
followed the corpse to its final resting j
place.
Such are the plain facts concerning j
her whose "Beautiful Snow" will be |
long regarded as one of" thc brightest j
gems of American literature.
Oh ! the snow ! thc beautiful snow,
Filling the sky and earth below,
Over the housetops, over the street,
Over the heads of the people you meei : j
Dancing-Flirting-Skimming along.
Beautiful snow ! it can do no wrong j
Trying to kiss a fair lady's cheek,
Clinging to lips th frolicsome freak ;
Beautiful snow from heaven above,
Pure as an angel, gentle as love !
Oh ! the snow, the beautiful snow,
How the flakes gather and laugh as they go: !
Whirling about in maddening fun ;
Chasing-Laughing-Hurry i ug by
It lights on the face, and it sparkles the eye j i
And the dogs with a bark and a bound
Snap at the crystals as they eddy around ;
The town is alive, and its heart in a glow,
To welcome the coming of beautiful snow !
ff&w wild the crowd goes swaying along,
Hailing each other with humor and song ; I
How the gay sleighs lik^meieois flash by, j
L'right for the moment, then lost to the tye ; ?
:E?nging-Swinging-Onshing they go, ?
Over the crust of the beautiful snow ;
Snow-so pure when it falls from the sky,
As "to make one regret to see it lie
To be trampled and tracked by thousands of
feet,
Tilt itt blends with the filth in the horrible
.street.
Onec? was pure as the snow, but I fell.
Fell, dite tli3 snow-fiakes. from heaven to hell;
Fell to-be trampled as filth on the street,
Fell lo'be Scoffed, to be spit on and beat ;
Pleading-Cursing-Dreading to die,
Selling TOT soul to whoever would buy ;
Dealing .i n shame for a morsel of bread,
Hating the living and fearing the dead, <
Merciful -God have I fallen so low ?
Aud yeti was once like the beautiful snow.
Oneerl was fair ns the beautiful snow,
With on-eye like a crystal, a heart like its ?
glow ;
Once I was loved for ray innocent grace- i
Flattered, and sought for the charms ot my
.face !
Fathers-Mothers-Sisters-all,
God and myself I have lost by my fall ;
Thevveriest wretch that goes shivering by, "j
Will :?ij:t?ve a wide sweep lest I wander too I
?nigh ;
For ??? that is on or above me I know
There is nothing th a's pure as the beautiful j
snow.
How-strange it should be that this beautiful
soow
Should fall on a sinner with nowhere to go !
How-strange it should be when the night :
comes again,
If the scow and the ice struck my desperate I
brain.
'Fain t i n g-Frcezi ng-Dy ? n g al o n e.
Too wicked for prayer, too weak for a moan, '
To be heard in thc streets of the crazy town. I
Gone mad in the joy of sno w coming down ; j
To be and to die in terrible woe,
With a bed and a shroud of the beautiful I
snow.
Helpless and foul as the trampled snow.
Sim er, despair not! Christ stoopeth low j
To rescue the soul that is lost in stn.
And r;:ise it to ??fe and enjoyment ^gain.
Groaning-Bleeding-Dving for rhee, j
The Crucified hang on the cursed tree ! *
His accents of mercy full soft on thine car. j
"l? there mercy tor n:e? Wiil he heed my i
weak prayer?'' ;
O God ! in lite stream that for sinners did
flow, !
Wash mc, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Don't let us get soured with life. It:
does not mend matters with us, and it
makes us very disagreeable to others. If ;
we have had misfortunes, we are not j
alone. The world is not all sunshine '
to anybody. We love tue fresh, light- i
hearted laugh of a child Why not j
keep it ourselves in after years. We 1
love the hope and faith of children. ;
Are we any better off if wc have allow?
ed them to slip from us '? We love the j
ardor and natural enthusiasm of chi]- i
dren. Are we any wiser if we have :
covered up all the impulse and warm j
feeling of our natures, so that the !
world knows only a cold, cairn exterior7
We know a woman who ha. lost all her ?
property, though euee very rich, who
has her hands so cramped by rhuema- 1
tism that she has been uable tu use
them for years, and yet she is full cf
sunshine and thanksgiving to God .
every day for thc great enjoyment si c
fini]-; in life. We know another, who,
in the midst of luxury, wishes she had
not been born, and there are some be- \
side herself who almost wish she had
net. Not least of ail shall we have to
give account in the judgment as to .
what manner of spirit wc have possess- ;
ed. - 0ongrcfjational ist.
A little boy in W-came in to his i
motlier one dav. saving:
"Mather, the boys out there are j
swearing, and ? would not play with j
them, but came right into the house." j
"Swearing!" said the mother, think- j
ing lier child was perhaps too young to ;
kuow what profanity was. "What, is j
sweariug, my cbild ?"
"Why, it is saying 'God' outside of j
their prayers," was the ready and origi- ;
nal reply.
As frosts unlock the hard shells of j
seeds and help the germ to get free, so j
trouble develops in men the germs of j
force, patience, and ingenuity, and in j
noble natures "works the peaceable j
fruits of righteousness."
Spring or Pall.
We have two or three inquiries new
before us as to whether spring or fall is
j the best time to set out trees. We
i can't tell how often we bare treated on
j this subject, but it is natural that the
questiou should continue to be asked,
as young men grow up, marry, aud
either go to fanning or in other ways
possess land, and desire information as to
what fruit trees to plant, and when to
plant.them. In a very few words we
wuuld sajfc that there is not much choice
in the seasons. If thc soil is naturally
moist, spring is probably to be pre^
ferred for setting out : if dry, fall. If
thc trees are large, early fall should
be chosen, and as soon the trees are
done growing and ibe leaves begin to
drop. In both cases the treess should
betaken out cf the ground carefully,
and with as many of the small roots aa
possible and be planted as soon after as
possible, before the roots become dry.
To pre-e it their becoming so, they
should be well covered, kept out of the
sun in transporting, or "heeled in" or
buried and liberally watered, as soon as
they arrive, until ready for planting.
Thc plauting cannot be done too care?
fully. The hole should be large
enough to receive all the roots carefully
spread out, and the ground put about
them should be fine and rich. If the
roots are too big they should be some?
what pruned, aud the branches of the
tree also. Sometimes thc branches,
where the roots are few and have been
injured in taking up, should be severjy
shortened to save the life of the tree.
