Under the Leaves.
Thick (Teen leaves from the t o f t brown earth,
Happy spring-time hstb called them forth ;
First faint promise of summer bloom
Breathe* from the trograat, awest perfume,
Under the leaves.
Lift them • what marvellous beauty lies
ilidden beneath, from oar thoughtless eyes !
Mav flower*, rosy or p w w t white.
Are there no lives whoae holy deeds—
Been by no eye Mve B i s who reads
Motive and action—in silence grow
Into rare beaatv, and bad and blow
Under the leaves.

n o c k e d t h e efforts of the despairing man. One more trial
was resolved opou, he d a r t e d a newspaper ! T h e devil
growled a t t h e bill a t t h e end of the first quarter, was savage in six months, melancholy in nine, a n a broke, " dead
b r o k e " a t t h e e o d o r t h e year. S o t h e newspaper went
down, b a t , t h e tool was saved.

'

Fair white flowers of faith and trost.
Springing from spirits bruised and crashed ;
Blossoms of love, rose tinted and right.
Touched and painted with heaven's own light.
Under the leaves.
Full fresh clusters of doty, borne,
Fairest of all in that shadow grown ;
Wondrous the fragrance that sweet and rare
Comes from the flower-cops bidden t h i r e ,
Under the leaves
Though unseen by onr vision dim.
Bod and blossom are known to Him ;
Wait we content for Bis heavenly r a j —
Wait till our Master himself one day
Lifteth the leaves.
Wonderful Men.
D r . A d a m Clark said t h a t " t h e old proverb, about
havinf! t o o many irons in t h e fire, was an abominable old
lie. H a v e all in it, shovel, tongs, and p o k e r . " I t is not
so much the multiplicity ol employments, as t h e want of
system in them, t h a t distracts and injures both the work
and t h e workman. W e s l e y said : " I am always in
haste, b u t never in a h a r r y ; leisure and I have long
taken leave of e a c h other." H e traveled a b o u t 5,000
miles in a year ; preached about three times a day,
mencing a t five o d o c k in the morning, and his published works amounted t o a b o n t 2 0 0 volumes ! A s h b n r y
traveled 6,000 miles, and preached incessantly. Coke
crossed t h e A t l a n t i c eighteen times, preached, wrote,
traveled, established missions, begged from door to door
for theip, and labored in all respccts as i t like t h e apostles, he " would turn the world upside d o w a " A t seventy y e a r s of uge he started to Christianize India ! I t is'
said t h a t L u t h e r preached almost daily ; he lectnred constantly as a professor ; be was burdened with the c a r e of
all the cburcncs ; bis correspondence, even as now extant,
fills many volumes ; h e was perpetually harranted with
controversies, and was t h e most voluminous writ«r of his
day. T h e same, or even more, might be said of Calvin.
W h i l e in B t r a s b u r g h e preached or lcctnrod every day.—
In a letter t o P a r i c , dated from t h a t city, be s a v s t h a t on
one day be had revised twenty sheets of one of bis works,
lectured, preached, written four letters, reconciled sevoral parties who were a t variance, and answered more than
ten persons who came to him for advice. In Geneva, he
was pastor, professor, and almost magistrate. H e lectured every o t h e r day ; on alternate weeks be preached daily ; he was overwhelmed with letters from nil parts of
Kuropo i and was the a u t h o r of works (amounting t o
nine volumes folio) which any man of our generation
would think more than enough t o ocupy bis whole time.
A n d this amid perpetual infirmity, headache, c a t a r r h ,
stranguary. gravel, stouo and gonL B a x t e r says of himself t h a t before t h e war he preached every sabbath, and
once i n the week, besides occasional sermons, and teveral
regular
evening religous meetings. T w o dsyg in t h e
week Le catechized t h e people from house to bouse,
spending an hour with eacli family. Besides all this, be
was forced, by the necessity of the p e o p K t o practise
physic ; nnd, as he never took a penny from any one, he
was crowded with patients. In t h e midst of all these duties, thoirgh afllictcd with almost all the diseases which
* man is heir to, he wrote more books than we can find
time to read. All these men were poor. W e find Lut h e r begging the elector for a beW coat, and thanking
him for a piece of gieat ; Calvin selling bis books t o pay
his rent; and Baxter was a curate with £ 6 0 a year.
Kissing In Former Times.
T h r e e foreign travellers in England have p l e a s a n t l y . ^
marked upon an old pustom which wonld now be considered more honored in the breach than the observance.—
T h e custom alluded to is t h a t of kissing. Chalcondyies,
t b o Greek, who visilod our respected ancestors between
four and five centuries ago, was highly surprised, delighted, and edified with this novel mode. H e says of i t —
" A s for t h e English females and obildrco, the customs
are liberal in the extreme. F o r instance, when a visitor
calls at a friend's house, his first a c t is t o kiss bis friend's
wife ; h e is then a duly installed g u e s t
Persons meeting
in a street follow t h e same custom, and no one sees anything improper in t h e a c t i o n . " N i c a n d e r Nucius, another Greek traveller of a century later, also adverts to
this osculatory fashion. " T h e E n g l i s h , " be says, " manifest much simplicity and lack of jealousy in t h e i r habits
and custom as regards females ; tor not only do members
of t h e same family and household kiss them on the lips
with complimentary salutations aod enfolding of the arms
round t h e waist, b a t even strangers, when introduced, follow t h e same mode ; and it is one which does not appear
t o t h e m in any way unbecoming." T h e third commenta t o r is Erasmus, and it is astonishing how lively t h e
D u t c h m a n becomes when expatiating on this ticklish subject. W r i t i n g from England t o Andrelinus in 1499, be
says, n o c t u o u s l y — " T h e y have a custom, too, which can
never be sufficiently commended. On y o u r arrival, you
are welcomed with kisses. On y o u r departure you are
sent off with kisses. D o y o u r guests depart, you distrib u t e kisses among them. W h e r e v e r you meet them, they
g r e e t you with a kiss. Ia short, which ever way you
t u r n there is nothing b u t kisBiog. A b I Faustrus, i f y o a
bad once tasted t h e tenderness, t h e fragrance of these
kisses, yoa would wish t o stay in England, not for a ten
j e a r s ' voyage, 1 like Solon's, but as long as you lived."
llovr the Devil Lost.
T h e following is too good to b e loat: A y o u n g man,
w h o ardently desired wealth, was visited by his Satanic
Majesty, who tempted him t o promise his soul for eternity if b e could be supplied o n this e a r t h with all t h e money bo could use. T h e bargain was concluded ; t h e devil was t o supply t h e money, and was at last t o bave t h e
soul, unless t h e y o u n g man spent more money than t h e
devil could furnish. Y e a r s passed a w a y ; t h e man married, was extravagant, b u i l t palaces, speculated widely,
loat and g a v e away fortunes, and y e t his coflere w e r e Always folL H e turned politician, and bribed his way t^>
power and fame, without r e d u c i n g b i s " pile" of gold. H i
became « filibuster, and fitted o u t ships and armies, b u t
hia b a n k e r honored all h i s drafts. H e went t o S t P a u l
t o live and paid the usual rates of interest oo all t h e money h e could b o r r o w ; b u t t h o u g h t h e devil made w t r
faces w h e n b e came t o pay the bills, yet tbey were p a i d
