She eut duwn by a large rock where the berriea were very plenty sud Dbe- gatt to plck with all her might, In a little whilo she heard n strange noise, and, lacking up, saw a bigg bear, standing on his hiud legs, Just there before her. When I have got thus far, the boy screams out, ‘:Vof thut way, mammn. 'The nice woman and the big black bear that way, mamma.” So 1 begin sguin: Once ‘there was o very alce wolnan, with pretty black eyes, long, curiy hair, and red checks, who onu day, when' the sun was shining warm and Lright, put on her clean white ~ sunhonnet, and took lier basket to plek sumnc raspberrles for the papa's suppr.

Iiere she sat down, and, listenlng to the dear Little birds who filied the whole womds with thielr song, ond smelling the wild flowers blow- lug all ubout hery slie began to plek the berrien, and had her basket almost full when she heard 4 great crackling of the dead branches (here her cyes began to stick out), und an awiul fowl growl, 3ho jumped up ‘and saw n blg bluck bear standing upon Lfs nind legs ready to spring upon ber and eat her up.

They all recognized Gl in one or many forins, Al nattons had peculinr relis glons views, which they handed down to pos- terity. Atlength we come to thase natlons who were wiscr and more divinely favored than the rest, —the Greeks, the Romans, and the Jews,—and to three cities—Athens, Rome, and Jerusalem— destined to play an fmportant part (n excenting God's purposes. The tireeks and Romans nad many gads. No elty or town was without prayers, without oracles, or without sacrinces in svme furm. Thelr greal men were worshipers of the guds. Bocrates taught lis disciples to obey the Inward volecof eonselence. He died per- fectly reslgaed to the will of the gods, and with firm hopes of a future dife. Plato had nonte views of religlon, e was deeply interestea in aplrituul thinges, aud made {t the objcct of his life to nequire the grentest degree of hollness, and 1o make this Hfe preparatory to o purer and higher one, e taught that men ought to cul- tivate a doep religlous tone, and e obedient to the gods, * The (ireck people consulted thelr oracles und endeavored to secure the favor of thelr gods. They hoped by prayers, penances, and sacrifices to appease thefr wrath, They souphit afd from their deities to chieek disiases and destroy their encinfes, In thelr efforts they felt the need of thelr godr., Lven Perieles, the great statesman of Athens, never spoke In pullie before he hald 1 to the gods that not s word unsuitable 1o the oo caston tnlght pass his lips. Our rellglous teach ers of the precent duy very properly follow the noble example of Perleles, who seted In harmo- ny with the light he lad.

To Abrahanm aud his sved wus revealed the onl; true and llving Gud, Judiilsm, therefore, cs- sentislly differs from Leathenism, With tho Gireeks relizfon waa a matter of fancy and of beauty; with the Romaus it was of policy and uthlity; but with the Jews it was o concern of the bicart. To keep it so, the Jewlsh natfon were furbldden to huve any Intercourse with the heathen, They were placed under law, end were obliged to rezard certuin rites and cere- monjes, God was, through Ills prophets, con- stautly communieating” with them.
