Oh! no:, ho only thoutht of the pleasant light fin ,tho. window, that her hands had trimmed for Jbim. So he journeyed to his' native town. Tonder comes one who trudges on laggingly a farmer in heavy boots and frock, his whip in his hand. He i cheers the lazy oxen, but suddenly s Lops; amazed, j Ml 'I see you know me," said : the young sailor,-- smiling. "Well, farmer Brown, how- is"-; : ! ;.

There. vou need not .sneak!' cried the young man, in a voice of sudden anguish; and he recoiled, almost staggering from the farmer's side, and buried his face in his hands. 'Henry, my poor lad, your mother is" -;' "Do not, do not !" cried the other, show ing now a face from which all color .had fled. "Oh! my mother! my mother she is gone, gone and I oomlug home ao happy !'? . , ; For some moments ho sobbed in agony. How dreary the world had grown ! The flowers had lost their fragrance, the sun its warmth ; his heart seemed dead. "Henry, she left a message for j you," said the old "farmer, wiping his eyes with the sleeve Of his frock. "A message for me?" it seemed as if the white lips could hardly speak. ' "Yea ; says sheso my dame told me. and so the minister said Tell Henry I will put a light in the window of heaven to guide his footsteps there.' " "Did she ; oh, did she say that ! God bless you for telling me ! All my long voyage I have .thought of the light in her little window. I have seemed to see it streaming along, along down to the foot of the hill, till it grow brighter and brighter, as I drew pear. A light in the window .of heaven? Yes, mother, I will think you are still waiting for me. I could not see you in these long, years ; but I knew the light was burning. I cannot see you now. but I know that the light is burning," Slowly and reverently, he .went to the hill-side graveyard, and there he knelt and wept upon, her lowly grave. But not there ho thought of her. A sweet vision wasT vouchsafed him. All robed in heavenly garments: he saw the beautiful soul he had called mother, and from the brightness of her glorious home, a slender beam seemed to como, trembling to his very feet.

'In the beginning," is the period which our dear Lord Christ alludes to as the perfect time, from which ever "since man has been wandering fartherj and farther, until His.coming, when we began. slowly to return. The Rev; Mr. Caird of Sc6t land, preached before Queen Victoria a sermon, in which his forcible and Beauti ful illustration of this; truth so impressed Her Majesty, that she ordered'tbo sermon to1: be published. One of his remarks was this : : 'Reduce man ever so Jow'.in degra-. dation, .yet you cannot 'obUt&ate from his inner nature the consciousness of falling peneath ' himselt ; you cannot blot out frpm his -mind the latent remmiscehcelbf a1 nobler and better self, which ho might have been, and which, to have lost, is jguilt and wretchedness. So that, should there -ever be brought before a fallen moral' hau re, rfn outward form! and reali iy, a being (like Christ,) the noble realisa tion: of its lo1vh:lostspiritual excellence tho full', perfect, beautiful reproduction in actual existence of that Bplendor of; moral loveliness Which was once its own it is" conceivable that the latent instincts.of the goui would be roused to recognize and 1 id entify t herein its lost original." If this is true oi spiritual things, it is also true Of. physical. -That sweet, subtle, myste rious thh,; called poetry,- is made up of the echoes from our lost "Eden. So that one has beautifully said, "Where poetry is, Godl's ;l where poetry is . not,; God is hot." Whatever the true poet loves most to describe, existed in Eden ; whatever his soul "recoils from, has been brought into being by man's sin. borne may ob ject to tho truth of this remark by. saying that such scenes as the cotter s Saturday nightalid all other delineations of indoor and iarin lne, existed not in Jiden. The poetry of these scenes consists in the hu-j man lovjo and human interests pervading them, and in the natural rural scenes sur roundihg them -and in nothing else. In the selection ot tood, how strong the Eden instincts show themselves in chil dren. How their eyes sparkle, and their little hsjnds are stretched out to grasp the downy peach, the rosy apple, the purple grape, jthe golden orange, j the luscious cherry, and tho rich.: nutritious nut. Never would they ask anything else, could tftey have enough of this Nature's first, best and only true human fbod.H" And itjwould be perfectly wholesome to a healthy stomach, if it were not first filled with farinaceous food (which emi nent physicians tell us, a young: infant can ho more digest than a lion can grass) and with flesh food, which gives a ten dency to all inflammatory diseases. We know that fearful results often follow the eating Of fruits and nuts by young chil dren. According to the immortal but constitutionally unhealthy Mrs. Poyser, they are not "good wholesome victual;1' but that is always owing to one of two reasohs-Ueither the stomach is too fat removed "by disease from its natural con dition ftoi digest what every natural in stinct of the child calls for; or, as stated before,-it has first been gorged with Mrs, Poyscr.'s "good wholesome victual." And how thc natural Eden instincts of children makes them revel in tho open air and in God's blessed sun-light. How the most fretful, sickly, miserable little sufferer becomes soothed and eased and pacified by being carried into1 tho open air. Their delicate organiations recoil from the confined atmosphere, laden with carbonic acid, which fills ', every human habitation : the more closo and "com fortablo" the dwelling is, the more impure the atmosphere; No patented ventilators can itrive ns air equal to that of our Eden i heritage the grass-carpeted, tree-shaded, flowertberfumed. sky-domed 'out-of-door.' :. :Tri ttA-Tinnnlar treimlices." as we mis takenly call them, of our ; whole popufa tion, we' again find the sweet echoes of den.; y hy cannot progressionists, anu philanthropists succeed in persua4ing us that a. life of toil is the most honorable and ennobling toman that the sunburnt brow, tho bread, hard and horny hand. and stooneJ shoulders of the laborer nrks of distinction. ; Our Eden in- atinnlfl will not acknowledge it : we pre ; fer aiuj honor, and look up to the wealthy - , man nf; leisure, who waiES cairaiy upou ki smnnthl v Bhaven lawn, and looks se renely upon his ancestral oaks, and listens at his ease to the song of birds, and hum j of bees, and all the sweet sounds oi JNa tnrft. In Eden, and in the Golden Age 1 painted by the classic poets, each person ! led this kind of a life. We believe that tho Golden Aee ,.of He6iod is-a. true ru.nfl of the 'lifo led by the righteous descendants of Seth;:bfiforo thelood: f In ihat beautiful bo5.;recenUy written, Cox'ttryan iMylthplpgyalk the myths of? the i ancieDts are representea a& true, but true only as allegones and metaphors W-e fully agree with hira, and wb believe that tho tale of the introduction of fire upon earth by i Fromet beus; being punished- by Jove's sending Pandora with her box containing all human ills ta bo dis- seminated amongst our race, means sim j ply that the use of fire is the cause of nearly all the physical ills from which wo Buffer. Without fire, our houses woujd be colder t han the open, sun-warmed air, and consequently we would spend all of Our waking time out of doors. Without fire, there would be no "midnight oil" burned at the expenso of human brain and nerve and muscle. We would sleep out tho hours appointed by Nature. An old tradition tells that when Methuselah was five hundred years old. an ahkel an- peared'to him (we fear it was not u good uugei anu; saiu, r Arise, jxeinuseian, anu build thee a house ; for thou sh alt yet live five hundred years," and Methuselah replied, " If I have only five hundred years more to live, it is not worth my while to build me a house, and therefore I will; continue to sleep in the open air, as I havo always done." According to the teaching of this tradition, houses were only used to sleep in, and those who ex pected to live as long as Methuselah, did not even use them for that purpose. ; "Without fire, wo would live upon tin cooked food, and as only natural food is palatable in an uncooked condition, we would j therefore, use only natural food,. The question as to what "is man's natural food is -explained in the 'first few chapters of Genesis, where we are informed that when I Grod had created: man and blessed him, His first words to him were in re gard to his food; He was informed that his food was to consist of the fruitlof trees, ! j and herbs fieeding seed, while the brute's iood was to be the green herb. As soon as I man had sinned, he was informed that part of his punishment would consist in his being condemned to eat the brute's food, the green herb. And after the Flood, when, notwithstanding the mirac ulous preservation, tho imagination of man's! heart was still found to. be only evil continually, he was informed that "even! as the green herb, every living thing that mo vet h was now given to him for food." As the giving of the green herb, (in our translation, "herb of the field,") was a part of the curse) , so was the giving of every moving thing that liveth. Yet we call this a permission to eat animal food. It ia verv like! the per mission to Cain to become a vagabond on the face of the earth, and to Ham, to be come a servant of servants unto his brethren, i - i The echoes of Eden arc found in our Ove forliterature and landscape garden ing. Uur tavorito Jttuskin says that the human race may bo properly. divided by zoologists into "men who have gardens and libraries, and men who have npne' and that "the former class will include all noble persons (except only a few who make th world their garden or museum,) while the;people who nave not. jor what is the same thing, do ' not care for libra ries or gardens, but care for nothing but money or luxuries, will include none but gnoble persons.''" Thanks, dear Buskin, or that idea it is a brilliant echo irom Eden. Xiandscape gardening was the oc cupation of Eden, for each tree was not only, good for food, but pleasant to.the ness was to dress them and to keep them. As for libraries, we will substitute the word "learning" The word "academy," so fraught with delightful associations means simply a "grove." The Greek academies were the groves where the schools of tho philosophers met. Our iterature is but a faint and very diffused reflex of their learning. "Landscape gardening," . says Bayard Taylor, "is to the earth what a refined civilization is to man." English parks are the most perfect specimens of landscape gardening in the world. Downing, another lavonte, out not so prized as Buskin, says of them : There is a quiet pastoral beauty, a spa ciousness and dignity, and a simple feel ing of nature about them which no highly decorated, Beytheraown. pleasure, grounds or garden scenery can approach. The English park (kept smooth and polished by the; grazing ot sheep,) is, in tact, the poetical idea of Arcadia, a sort ot ideal nature-r-spitened. renned ana ennobled, withoutheing made to look artificial." A little EdeP, ih short, Kept mown and enriched by the same means employed bv A bel. ; the fceemna or sneev.i via our readers ever consider why our Saviour, Ubrist, selected the Bnecp--a jam p as ah emblem of himself ? It surrounds us with pastoral, Eden-like beauty; by ine the grass short, smooth and verdant, ana oy enricning ine son unm every iree and shrub becomes beautitul in its lusu rianco of Ifmb' and leaf and fruit and flower. It furnishes us garments for our bodies (as Christ s righteousness clothes our souls) more beautiful and healthful than any other fabrics, as is! shown by the exquisite clothing manufactured by the looms of b ranee. Abel, tho first righteous man after tho fall sought and found a remedy for the sin-discovered nakedness ox. the. hody. as Christ seeks. and, finds .a remedy, for the nakedness of the soul. .-.
