Iforeb itir THE REV. .1. T. HEADLEY. Mount Horeb does not stand so isolated as, Ararat or Sinai, and hence does 'not oc eupy so definite a place in nature . or histo ry. One of the ffroups that surround Si nai, it presents the same barren and deso lateappearanee, and stands amid the same bleak and forbidden scenery. These sol emn summits rise together in the same heavenS, and the silent language they speak has the same . mpaning. Still; lloreb has less distinguishing characteristics than Si nai, and the latter overshadows it as much in interest as it does in nature.. The Mount of Terror is monarch there in . the desert, and all other summits arc but his body guard. They witnessed his .grand coro nation when the law was given, and shook to the thunders that honored the cere mony. Mount Horeb has not been consecrated once, but thrice, and has a three fold claim for a place amid the immortal list of Sacred trotintains. Moses learned his first les sons round its base, and amid its splitudes formed the thoughtful, stern and dceided charaCter which rendered him fit to be the leader of Israel, .When in his impetuous youth lie slew the Egyptian that • would trample on his countryman, he tied thither to escape the' penalty of the, deed, When the first gust of indignation had swept by, and he saw the lifeless corps at his feet, alarm took.tlie place of passion, and hastily covering the dead man in the sand, he fled to the desert. Month after month he wan dered about Horeb, thinking.of Egypt and thr royal court he dared not cuter. Away froM the temptations of the palace, and be yond-the reach of the conflicting motives that, might sway him there, .he trod the desert a freeman. With naught but Nature and God to teach him, his character must be simple and manly, and his principles upright and pure. Amid the grand and striking feature of • mountain scenery, he could not but learn to hate tyranny and love freedom, and when, at length, his charac ter was settled on a broad anti permanent basis, the Deity sent him back to Egypt to deliver his people. Waiideripg one morning along.theslopes of Horeb, he saw' before hint a solitary bush blazing from top to bottom, but dill unconsumed. Every-branch was a fiery branch, and every- leaf a leaf of lire that gloWed unwasted in•the still flame. •As he stood • amazed and awe-struck at the sight,: a. voice whose tones were yet to be familiar to his ear exclaimed, "Take •thy shoes frtirif Ofrth3- feet, • for the place on which thou standeSt is . lloljr • Qround."--- Acre Moses received his first eommission, and here was-(foil's first outward demon- stration to l►im; in behalf of his people: . .

At length the well-reinem bored form of Horeb rose to view, where he had wandered, self exiled from his home. A gloomy fugitive he first saw that deso late Mountain in the distance ;—a leader of a mighty people, and the chosen of God, he pitched his tent the, second time at its base. Doubtless,,his first interview with the Deity here caused him to expect some other revelations now that the commission he had given him had been fulfilled. How much his early experience had to do with his encamping on -this spot with the host of Israel it is impossible to tell ; but that he should expect the Gad who had—first sent him forth shonld here give him fur ther instructions was most natural.- His 'expectationsi were not disappointed, and Sinai and Horeb togetheibecame the scene. Of the inost wondrous events of human his tory. Twice had Horeb been honored with the presence of Deity, which had so consecra ted it that we find the angel of the Lord af terwards calling it "the Mount of God." It was however destined for a third bap tism. When Elijah, hunted by Jezebel, fled for his life, lie wandered across the desert to ads mountain. His prayers had brought rain upon the- -parched and deso late earth; but his sword had also drank the blood of the prophets of Baal, and'ilez ebel had sent him word that she would do to him as he had done to her prophets, and so belled into the Niildorness and sat down under a juniper tree and prayed for death. Weary and 'discouraged, the • hunted fugi tive lay down and slept,- when the angel of the Lord touched him and bade him 'arise and go to Mount Horeb. 'Elijah started . for the desert, and after travelling for more than a month, he at length, worn and exhausted, came to the mountain, and took up-his solitary lodgings in a cave. How! many desolate days and lonely nightS he passed there we know not, but at length a voice, from heaven said, "Go forth and stand upon the mount." Jehovah way a bout to reveal himself. But before he 'readied the entrance Of his rave lie heard a roar louder than the sea, that arrested his footsteps and sent the blood back to his heart. The next moment there came a blast of wind as if the last chain that bound it had suddenly been thrown of and it had burst forth ia %Hits unrestrained and limit less energy. . In the twinkling of an eye the suit was blotted - out by the cloud of dust, and tine-fragments that filled the air were whirled in fierce eddies onward. It shrieked and howled around the mouth of the cave, while the fierce hissing sound of its steady pressure against the heart of the mountain was more terrible than its ocean like roar. Before its fury and strength rocks were loosened from their beds and hurled from the air—the earth rent where it passed, and before its fury that steady mountain threatened to lift from its base and be carried away. Amid this deafen ing uproar and confusion and darkness and terror, the stunned and awe-struck Elijah expected to see the form of Jehovah mo ving; but that resistless blast, strewing the sides of Horeb with wreck and chaos was not God in motion : • "Twas but the whirlwind of his breath, Announcing danger, wreck and death." The hurricane passed by, and that wild strife of the elements ceased ; but before the darkened heavens could clear them selves Elijah heard a rumbling sound in the bowls of the mountain, and the next moment an earthquake was on the march. SteritHoreb rocked to and fro like a ves sel in a storm, and its bosom parted with the sound.of thunder before the convulsive thobs that seemed rending the very heart of nature. Fathomless .abysses opened on every side; and. huge. precipices, toppling over the chasms - at their base, 'went thunder ing through the darkness.. The :fallen prophet lay on the floor of his cavern and listened to the grinding, crushing sound a round and beneath him, and the steady shocks that seemed to reach the very seat ! , of nature, thinking that Jehovah at last stood there. Surely it was his mighty hand that lay on that trembling, tottering mountain, and his strong arm that rocked it so wildly on its base. No,. "God was not in the earthquake," "'Twits but the thundering of his car, The trampling of his steeds from Ihr." The commotion ceased, and Nature stood "and calmed her ruffled . fraine:" but in the sudden ominous silence that followed, there seemed :1" foreshadowing of some new terror, and 10, the heavens were sud denly on tire, and a sheet of Ilame descend ed. Its lurid light pierced the ilepths of Elijah's cavern till it glowed like an oven,: and from base to summit of Mount Horeb there went up a vast cloud of smoke, fast and furious, while•the entire sides flowed with torrents of lire. The mountain glow ed with a red heat, and stood like a huge burning furnace under a burning heaven, and groaned on its ancient seat as if in tor ture. But God was not in the fiery storm.

A lIE .TO COME HOME TO. And after all, what is it that man seeks in the companionship of a woman ? An influence like the gentle dew, and the cheer ing light, more felt throughout the whole of his existence,.in its softening,.healing,har monizing power than acknowledged by, any Single act or recognized by any certain rule. It is in fact a being to come home to, `in the happiest sense of that expression.— Poetic .lay's of ancient times were wont to tell hoW the bold warrior, returned from the fight, would doff his plumed helmet; and_roposing from his toils, ]ay bare his weary limbs that woman's hand mightpour Into their wounds the healing balm. But never wearied knight nor warrior, covered with the dust of the battlelfield, ,was more in need.of woman's soothing power than . are those care-worn sops o„C the soil, yvho struggle for the bread of life, in our more peaceful and enlightened. tliiys. And stilj though the romance of the castle, thebahrt et, the waving plume, and the "Clarion wild and high," • may all have vanished from the scene, the charm of woman's influence lives as bright- . ly in the picture of domestic joy, as:when she placed the wreath of victory on the he ro's brow. Nay, more so, for there arc deeper sensibilities at work, thoughts more profound and passions more intense, in our great theatre of intellectual and moral strife, than where the contest was for mar tial fame, and force of arms procured for each competitor his share of glory or of wealth. Among all the changes which have ta ken place in the condition ofmankind, it is then not the least of woman's privileges, that her influence remains the same except only as it is deepened and perfected as her own character approaches towards perfec tion. It is not the least of her privileges, that she can still be all to man which his necessities require ; that he can retire from the tumult of the world, and seek her so siety with a zest which nothing can impair, so long as she receives him with a true and faithful hear--true to the best and kindest impulses of which her nature is ca pable ; and sacred to the faithful triret com mitted to her care. And that it is so, how many a home can witness—how many a fire-side • welcome how many a happy meeting after absence painfully prolonged ! Yes, diem are scenes within the gacred precincts of the house hold heafth, which, not the less because no stranger's eye behold them, repay,' and richly too, dark days of weary conflict, and long nights of anxious care. But who Shall paint them ? Are they not graven on the hearts of wives ? and those who hold the picture there in all its beauty, vivid ness and truth, would scarcely wish to draw aside the veil which screens it from the world.—Mrs. WomAN.—Woman should be acquaint ed, that no beautyhas any charms, but the inward one of the mind; and that a grace fulness in their manners is much more en gaging than that of their persons ; that meekness and modesty - are the true and, lasting ornaments ; for she that has these is qualified as she ought to be for the man agement of a family, for the educating of children, or an affection to husband, and submitting to . a prudent way of livin*-L- These only are .the charms that render Wives amiable, anti give them the best title to our respect.—[Epictelus. 1 Le t ig ll ht o ß n u t i v ie .C til o l t r o c a la s t n es S t T h A a T t s a la m Eti r.
