Ouo is thought, the in ward lite ; the other is action or the outward. In cither one pr the otlier mott people find their romance, for few taat miugle daily with us have' never bacn tcuebed in some way by ro mantic thoughts or acts. It may be all unwritten, unexpressed, for the faith that c slopes our ends"' may al the lips, that, too late, would tell the story of thc.heart : and the sad cities of the silent receive many foix;'s that have carried :lieavy. burdens along life's pathway, in secret and alone. Remem bering that we are only a part, let our thoughts of others be tempered with mercy, .Providence, knnwino- nil tbn, inward struggles, will measure to the sinful and weak ju.y and well. Sometimes accidents open ' J to the worlds view the untold stories of years, yet, at the same time, casting around the revektion those uncer ainties that exercise the imagination, till with the known is mix-d the dim, shadowy mys t cries of .the mind. . A short tunc since, a crmc'of cxeav ators at work near a bog, unearthed the skeleton of a man and horse. The position of the remains supported the thcGiy that he was liJing along per fectly unconscious of the awful fate was about to overtake him. More than this is unknown. 'Who lie was, whither bound, remains a secret lock ed from the knowlonge of the human mind. Rut iniogination asserts her power, and pres. ntg the possible real ities of the unknown - in ' the mental view in long and beautiful array..

Recollection points to a man counting his gains by thousands, making the Rible serve as a receptacle for bills and bonds, yet who refused' to have his birth-place demolished long after it was deserted as a dwelling. j'or years it ? ti d in. a barren field, grim and brown, rattling and -inoan-ing maw hter storm, dry and du?ty under the summer sun. Touched by the hand of a master from the -canvass spring imitative scenes of nature's landmarks, with all the attendant train of glories.
