is so arranged that nearly

one-half of the superior intellect of the nation is doomed to waste. It might be said that an equal number of poor boys EXIST, and tirUTas thev RI«W in life, they can carry the clever girls with them. Unfortunately, bowever, marriage, the usual sop offered to women, cau have very little application in this cane. Men who rise LU life prefer to seek wives in the circle that they enter rather that from which they have come. Ever so small an elevation, AS that from a shop to a pulpit, is a prolific source of breach of promise the aspiring male seeks the honor of a more exalted alii ince than he can find in a milliner's shop. Hut even if the geniuses anionn men were to select wives irom their own class,they would LI, far more likely to take them from the 997 than from the three. L«t us suppose, however, that all ditn cully is overcome that the man who rises in life, instead of marrying a respectable mediocrity of higher station GOES down lo the "dregs," a»d

I make no doubt that these terms in conjunction are entirely paradoxical to someuiinds—th »t Religion and Amusement, have nothing in common—that they are totally opposite and cannot be made to harmonize in their interests or result#.

Nor is there anything in morals that promises greater service to humanity than to persuade men into privileges of the world compatible with highest ends of being. It would at least do awawith two evils that have long al flirted us. and which are likely to afflict us while we have wrong conceptions of our earthly relations.

The first evil is in the ban under which amusements have rented from the church. Diversion is the law of hum nature, as well as labor. But if all diversions an* *inlul, which many •KMIPLE are made to suspect, does not prevent them from indulging d'r the piei that thev cm

it will accept all thft beat phases or human nature and needs, and use them to its own glory and man's high destiny!

Most Christians are advancing to this view, and accepting the facts of nature. The longest faoe sometimes shortens with a smile, the darkest brow lightens with a spark of mirth, the sternest features relax under a genial inspiration, the dullest heart gets merry, the gloomiest tnind cheerfuK and thesoinlierest thoughts burst into sunshine. And I put this in as evidence,that there is desisnin tho faculties by

JE less sighs, less melancholy and dyspepsia. There would Le no need of nlf tho insane asylums, nor would there be the number of blue goblins in he imaginations. Besides, the world would be better and the church no worse. For I have learned that the most kind and useful are generally given' to cheerful habits, while those who never relax from daily business are drudging and putful, sordid, somber, selfish and sinful!

And if we rfcur to tho sources of imuseinents they are numerous and which no test standard can be given. There is wise adaptation lor human need. The lively and the sedate, Ihe young and tlie mayire, TFIO saint and Llie«innerHave

to weakpn the physical forees of an athletic bodv, for then there would be no strength equal to the great pursuits of life. It were better to restraia and master them for usefulness. It is no better policy to enervate the faculties bv shackles and cloisters and «loomy customs, for then troth would have no instrument equal to the battles to

won. It is in the vivacity and cheerfulness of human being that reliiffon IS honored ami vindicated against the anient conceit that dulness and gloom .re tho requisites for a christian. Religion is not more to tmke us good, than to make us cheerful. It is the sunshine of our minds and hearts, and puts to flight the clouds that jpither there. And God has wisely ordainetl .it and merriment to break through, he gloom and help UD to the brightness beyond.

It is a Christian opinion that we may use the work as not abusing it, even IN musement. It is right

On tho contrary it is a duty to recreate ourselves, and'to have relaxation from overburdening care. Amusement is a Christian exercise. It is good for the body and tor tho soul.
