THE RIVER OF LIFE. The more we live, more brief appear Our life succeeding stages ; A day to childhood seems a year,.;. And years like passing ages. The gladsome current of onr youth. hie passion vet disorders. Steals lingering like a river smooth Along its grassy borders. i But as the careworn cheek grows wan, And sorrow s shafts fly thicker. . . ' Ye stars thafiueasure life to man. yhy seem j our courses thieker f When" joys have lest their bloom and breath, And life itself is vapid. Why, as we near the Falls of Deat h, reel we its tide more rapid? It may be strange, yet who wouM change 'rime's c?urse to ower speeding. iien one oy one our menus nave gone And left our bosoms bleedin j . Heaven gives our years of fading strength luemnitying fleet nes's: ' . And those of youth a seeming length 1 Proportioned to their sweetness. Campbell. ANTIOCH. ;. The 'ancient metropolis of Syria has secured for itself a manifold ce lebrity on the. pages of history. It has been celebrated as the splendid residence .of the Syrian kings, and afterwards as the luxurious capital of the Asiatic Provinces of the Ko- man Empire. I tor its men ot It lias been celebrated letters and its culti- vation of learning. It has been cel- ebrated for the magnificence of the tfHmu 118 wans, aim iui romantic beauty of - its suburban roves and fountains. The circling sun shone nowhere, upon more ma jestic productions of human art than where it gilded, with its rising or its setting beams, the: fcuiriptuous isymbots. of iisown deluded worship pers, in the . gorgehusi temple of Daphne and the giganiic statue of Apollo which were the pride and .the boast of that far-famed capital. While it was from one of the hum ble hermitages which were embo somed in its exquisite environs, that the 6ainted-Chrysostom poured forth some of those poetical and passion ate raptures on the beauties and sublimities of nature, which alone have won for him the title of !the fiolden-moathed." At one time, we are told, it ranked ftiird ou the list of the great cities of the world, next only after Rome and Alexandria, 'and hardly inferior to the latter of the two, at least in size 1 and splendor. It required a severer and sadder renown, in more recent, though still remote history, as having been doomed to undergo vicissitudes and catastrophes of the most disastrous and deplorable character now sacked and pillaged by the Persians, now -captured by the Saracens, and now;" besieged by the Crusaders; a prey; at one mo ment to the ravages of fire, at an other to the devastations of an earth quake, which is laid to have de stroyed no less than two hundred aud fifty thousand human lives in a sinple hour It6 name has thus be cume associated with so many his trfrical. lights and shadows, with so 4nuch of alternate ; grandeur and loom, that there is, perhaps, but little, likelihood of its ever being wholly lost sight of by any student of antiquity. Yet it is not too much to say, that one little fact, for which the Bible is the sole and all-sufiicjent authority, will fix that name in the memory and rivet it! in the affection ate regard of mankind, when all else associated -with it is forgotten.. Yes, when its palaces ' and its temples, its fountains and its groves,- its works of art and its men of learning, when Persians, and Saracens, and Crusa ders, who successively spoiled it and the flames' and the earthquake which devoured and desolated it, shall have entirely faddd from hu man recollection or record, the little fact the great fact, let me rather say-wiil still be remembered, and remepbered .with an Interest and a vividness which no time can. ever or diminish that utie Disci ples were called Christians first in Antioch," that there the name of Christ, give. at the outset, perhaps, as a nickname and1 by-word, but gladly and fearlessly accepted and adopted in the face oti mockery, in the face of martyrdom, by delicate youth and tnaidern tenderness, as well as 'by -.mature or,Veteran man hood -firet: becaine Uje ; dislmgljvje designation of the faithful followers of the Messiah.-- M.

Exercise should be taken by the hpur, and not by the job. It should be taken in the open air. ' What is wanted, for health is oxygen. Violent muscular exertion in a close room is of no vajue. A man may develop jiis muscles and ruin his health. This is the truth but it is the1 reverse of it he popular idea on the subject, j f The symptoms of fatigue are worthy of serious attention, for it is unnirtunittely' true that the majority of people do uiot fcnow when they are tired. A feeling of weariness may be' the direct result of .a need of pin-door exercise, ;and icstlessness may be a symptom of fatigue. How many women know that a woman can, by what is called a nervous ef fort, keep at work : long after she is exhausted. She will inevitably pay for it by a subsequent collapse, which is often attributed to acci dental' 'indisposition, jthe real cause not being recognised. il ficaiew. -Internation- READ THIS, GIRLS.
