 GEMS FROM THE GERMAN OF RICHTER.

 TM MNeAAEsrSUE.-BeyOGa the sun, other suns FepOse far in the illimitable blue. For thousands of ysers their foreign rays have been darting OA- ward toward this little earth, and st reach us not. thou SOfter, nearer Cod! scarcely does the human sPirt open is little infant eye. ere thou sreamest into it, O Sun of sons and of the soul.

 OID MEN.-TNey are indeed but heightened shAdOwss and their evening sun lies cold upon the earth; but they all point towards morning.

 CHRlsTIAN BEAUTx IN WoaGAx.-Mark you that fine wOmanly soul, who suffers much, hut stands looking up to God; who, let her inwardly weep and bleed as she may, ever apPears before men the image of joy, and whom the storms of the world neither shake nor obscure: Where stands her images In the heavens; there stands the rainbow; clouds and winds disturb it not. They sweep over it. but it schimmers forth before its sun, and its drops become colours, and it lies upon the heavens like the glittering morning dew of beautiful day.

 BUTTERELx IN THE CHURcH.-Let him fly, whether he autters in the little church, or in the world-temple; he also breaches.

 WlsE MEN.-Who is the greatest: The wiss man whp having raised himself above the troubled age, simply contemplate, without acting for it, or the wise man who from the high places of rest, wafts himself boldly down into the battle-tumult of the times! 'Fis glorious sight when the eagle soars upward through the tempest, out into the se- rene. high heaven; but more glorious yet, when sweeping through the blue expanse above the thick storm apch, he darts down through it to his eyrie MROn the cliff, where his unAedged little ones mes. sle, terrified.

 THE BlossoAGs AND THE LEAvEs.-As the pale, delicate and short lived blossoms were already fl. len in May, the leaves exclaimed, "What puny, useless thingsl scarce born, theydroop and die But we hardy and dense, outlive the summer heats, ever expanding, and becoming brighter and more luxuriant, ,until at length after long valuable months, when we haHe fostered and given pp the luscious fruits of the earth, amid the cannon thunder of au tumRal storms. we sink to rest"

 But the fallen blossoms answered: "Cheerfully did fall away, we had previously given birth to the fruits"

 Ye unohserved and quiet men, seen but for a lii. tie while in the parlor and the counting room, ye little noticed in the halls of learning, ye noble well- doeEs without name in history, and ye unknown mothesg be not ahashed before the ostentatious on the pinaces of power, on heaps of gold, or graven .on triumphal arches, standing where battle victims 'fatten the ploughed fields; be not abashed-ye are blossoms!
