The love of knowb ed-e ('(uneswitlireadinp:, and grows upon it; and the love of knowledge i n a young mind is almost a warrant n against the inferior excite ment of passions and vices. Let us pity those poor rich men who live barrenly in great bookless houses. Let us conp-rtlate the poor that iu our day books are so cheap that n man tnayev- erv vear add a hundred v jl-l limes to his library for the price of what his tobacco would cost him. Among the earliest ambitions to be ex cited in clerks, workmen, jour uoymeii, and indeed among all that are struggling up in life from nothing, to some thing, is that of owning, and constantly adding to, a libra ry of good books. A little li brary, growing larger every j ear, is an honorable part of a young man's history. It is a man's duty to buy books. A library is not a luxury, but one of the necessaries of life. Exchange.

The writer happened to be standing in Union Square, New York City, iu the year 1872, when the park commis sioners turned loose a con signment of these birds on the beautiful grounds of that pleasance; but we are not pre pared to say that it was the first importation of the En glish sparrow to this coun try.

We may know very much about him, and myy know him very meagre ly or not at all. We may know much, likewise, of the truth that concerns him, and yet be little tt uclied by his personality itself. Perhaps t he tendency of the times is somewhat to obscure Christ as a person. Duties have ac cumulated. Forms have in creased. Doctrinal state mentshave mubiplied, and somehow or other sometimes these, each and all, form a sort of veil to hide Christ.

The body bud turned si round, lying on its f.uv, and the interior of thecasket bore traces of a terrible struggle with death in its most awful shape. The distorted and blood covercd features bore evi dence of the horrible agony endured. The clothing about the head and in ck had been torn into shreds, as likew ise the liningof thecoffin. IMoody marks of finger nails on the face, throat and neck told of ; the awful despair of the! doomed man, who tore his ; own flesh in his terrible an-; guish. Several fingers had ben entirely bitten off, and the hands torn with the teeth until they scarcely resembled j those of a human being. It is a somewhat singular fact that the w idesju ail movement in (Sermany in favor )f Sunday j rest receives itsg.-vntcst support, not from the clergy and chinch members, hut from the business men. This fact is not to theered it of those who ought to he fore most in everything looking to a Sabbath obseivanc. But it is said, in extenuati n. that the (lerman movement is based upon the physical argument instead of the religious: that the business men are taking hold of it because man's bodily w ants rctjuireuday ot rest. out. upon the same ground, ministers and churches should help it on. Christianity has regard to the physical life. Jesus cared for the body. lie urged Sabbath rest because of its advantages from a mere secular point ot view, besides it is a de cided gain w hen business houses are closed on the Lord's bay. It exerts an educating influence up on society. It indicates respect for the abbath. Moreover, the abstinence from work ontlasday leads up the higher end of Sab bath rest that is, th; spiritual. It gives men a chance lo attend the sanctuary. It ti fiords minis ters and christians the desirwd opportunity to go in and labor among all classes of people, and bring them to the recognition of Sabbath observance as a day, not only of cessation from their daily work, but ot worship.
