But there is a higher type of beauty, a r.ob!er limning, a more angelic coloring i beautr that does not fade under the bit fcT frosts of lifers coming winter, or grow hideous and repulsive when age has plow ed its farrows in a thousand intermingling crinkles. Yes we see such a one now. flrile not at first sight strikingly beautiful, or irresistibly bewitching, yet she is attrac tive, for sh2 is a perfect woman.and hex love liness arises not alone from her complexion or from her well set features, or from her usl lit expression, or from her beautifully md symmetrically chiseled figure such a cne as Angelo- would have taken for a woman reigns the loye-crowned queen of home, and in that blessed office of endear ment she becomes an angel of good, and man's sweetest comforter, for In her love smiles she hides all the thorns of care and mingles radiant flowers with the cypress of dispair. Such a woman would give to trials a sweet aid sure surcease, and hush all raging cares in the calm of blessed peace, she would ease the throbbing of the brain, and soothe the sting of every earth ly pain. Yes she would make of earth a sweet and blessed Eden, and give to wretch ed man a precious glimpse of Heaven, she would give to life a type of bliss above by tinting every thought with a rosy gleam of love. TRIBUTE TO EXALTED MERIT. By One of Wilson's Most Polished Writers. eodel. She has all these qualities in a high and most remarkable degree, but it is tj? alone by these she touches a heart, his in her sweetness of temper, benevo bce, innocence and sensibility which a fcce can express that forms her beauty. She has a face that just raises your atten tion at first sight; it grows on you every coxent, and you wonder it did no more tharais- your attention at first. Her eves have a mild light, but they awe when pleases; they command, like a good cia out of ofilce, not by authority, but by tirtue. Her statue is good ; she is not made far the admiration of everybody, but the J:?ir.ess of one. She has all the firmness iat does not exclude delieacy she has all softness that does not imply weakness. Ker voice is Hkc soft, low music, and &rms those who can distinguish a corn er from a crowd; it has this advantage "you must come close to her to hear it." to describe her body, describes her mind e is the transcript of the other, her un festanding is not shown in the variety of "-2t:;rs it exerts itself on, but in the good- -ao, . t .1 . . . tne choice he makes.

Robert Erskine Wright. Long in vain shall we seek his equal in administrative capacity, theological erudi tion as well as general learning, and un flagging constancy of purpose in the pur suit of his divine mission. In two respects especially did he attract our admiration: ist, as a preacher his exposition and illus tration of scriptural truths imparted in struction and delight to all who had ears to hear. It seems to this writer impossible that one could be a regular attendant on his discourses for a considerable time, without becoming wiser and better. 2nd, As the director of the parochial work of the large membership, he was a creator as well as an organizor, and labored with such success as could only spring from a real genius for administration. Coming among us as a stranger, unheralded pres tige, young in years, and virtually without personal experience-in the duties of his situation that he should (as he did) in the course of one short year, obtain an ascen dency in his parish, not surpassed by rec tors of life long residence, is a tribute to his abilities that can not be challenged. Mr. Wright impressed all who knew him as a man of positive conviction, which he did not hesitate to translate into action. Such a man he was and is. 44 He never sold the truth to serve the hour." These may be called the austerer qualities of his nature, but gentler ones were by no means want ing. At the summons of duty his hand knew no stint, and his step no weariness. He was oftener by far found at the bed of suffering thin at the sumptuous board of hospitality. A good man and great writer pauses in one of his narratives to thank God that the accession of beautv ard novelty were never necessary to arouse his compassion for suffering. "Plain hu man nature in distress" says he, "was al ways sufficient to move my sympathy." With strictest truth the same may be sdJ of Mr. Wright. Now w hat I have said Mr. Editor is honest testimony, rather than panegyric I will not further trespass on your space. Inded, I might not have said so much, but that the mouth-piece of his parishioners who do not wish to stulti fy themselves before the world by a silence which might be construed or perverted in to an indication of their failure to appre ciate the good and able man whose loss thev so much depose. True, we could not reasonably have hoped to retain with us long a man whose commanding talents inevitably destined him to w ider and high er fields of usefulness; especially in view of the fact that he was the recipient of four cr five eligible calls during his pastor ate here, still .so great : the selfish ingre dient in our natures, that even for their own advancement, we can but resign him with reluctance.
