tions." Nothing can be farther from the 
facts in the case. Instead of diminishing, 
these views of the prophetical Scriptures are 
increasing. Mr. Shimeall's book itself is a 
proof of' this, and confutes the statement of 
the writer of this notice. Within a few 
years past, the number of works on the proph-
ecies, and which take the view of the pre-
millennial coming of Christ, have greatly in-
creased. Dr. Seiss, at the close of his work 
entitled "The Last Times," gives a catalogue 
of between 300 and 400 works on the proph-
ecies by nearly as many authors, and taking 
the ground that the Scriptures teach the doc-
trine of Christ's coming as pre-millennial. 
When a man undertakes to write a notice 
of such works, he ought to be better informed 
on the subject. If he was, he never would 
venture the assertion that this kind of litera-
ture, as he is pleased to call it, is diminishing. 
Thanks to God that it is increasing. May 
such publications be greatly multiplied, until 
the seventh angel shall sound, and the "king-
doms of this world become the kingdom of 
our God and of his Christ." S. S. W.

CHRIST'S SECOND COMING, 
THE PITCHER BROKEN AT THE 
FOUNTAIN. 
Is it Pre-millennial, or Post-millennial ? 
(The great question of the day,) Scriptural-
ly, Historically and Philosophically consid-
ered. By Rev. R. C. Shimeall, Member of the 
Presbytery of New York. 8vo. New York ; 
John F. Trow. Price $3 60. 
I have not read this book, but from a no: 
tice of it in the New York Times, I am led 
to conclude that it is an argument in favor 
This cycle seems to be formed on the same 
plan of the weeks between the two wave 
offerings which certainly embraced fifty days. 
Lev. 23 : 15, 16. "And ye shall count unto 
you from the morrow after the Sabbath, from 
the day that ye brought the sheaf ,of the 
wave-offering, seven Sabbaths shall be com-
plete: Even unto the morrow after the sevenths 
Sabbath shall ye number fifty days ; and ye 
shall offer a new meat-offering unto the 
Lord." 
Now compare this with the laws of the 
sabbatie years and jubilee. Lev. 25 : 8-11. 
"And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of 
years unto thee, seven times seven years ; 
and the space of the seven Sabbaths of years 
shall be unto thee forty and nine years. 
Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the 
jubilee to sound, on the tenth day of the sev-
enth month, in the day of atonement shall ye 
make the trumpet sound throughout all your 
land. 
And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and 
proclaim liberty throughout all the laud unto 
all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a ju-
bilee unto you ; and ye shall return every 
man unto his possession, and ye shall return 
every man unto his family. 
A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto 
you : ye shall not sow, neither reap that 
which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the 
grapes in it of thy vine undressed." 
From this it is clear that seven Sabbaths 
of years made forty-nine years complete, and 
that the fiftieth year is the jubilee, and the 
trump of jubilee was to sound on the tenth 
day of the seventh month to usher it in. ED.

OUR KNOWLEDGE AND IGNORANCE 
OF THE FUTURE STATE. 
I feel, dear Lord, this cottage shake—
This poor frail tent of clay— 
And know full well these cord must break, 
That I may pass away. 
But ere the silver cords decay, 
0 grant thy presence near ; 
One cheering smile, one hopeful ray 
May 'cross my skies appear. 
I plead thy merits—thine alone ; 
I plead a Saviour's blood : 
Could sacrifice for sin atone, 
I still would plead with God. 
Low in the dust would I declare 
My guilt before thy face, 
And when denied the children's share, 
I'd ask a servant's place. 
Thy promise, Lord, before thee pleads, 
For broken hearts distressed ; 
Since the Redeemer intercedes, 
Shall not the weary rest ? 
Then shouldst thou break the golden bowl, 
When life's worn wheels stand still ; 
The goal is reached if all my soul 
Sinks in my Father's will. 
days of Noah were, so shall also the coming 
of the Son of man be. For as in the days 
that were before the flood, they were eating 
and drinking, marrying and giving in mar-
riage until the day that Noah entered into 
the ark, and knew not until the flood came, 
and took them all away ; so shall also the 
coming of the Son of man be." Matt. 24; 
37-39. Surely, nothing of higher moment 
can be brought to the notice of the public, 
than the personal advent of our Lord, and 
the duty of being prepared for that event. 
But as editors generally are themselves ig-
norant of the prophetical Scriptures, it per-
haps cannot be expected that they will give 
any attention to the subject, but ignore it, 
until Christ shall come and take to himself' 
his great power and reign. 
The writer of the notice its the Times then 
proceeds to say, "It belongs to a class of lit-
erature that we think cannot possibly be pro- 
ductive of practical good, and one that is 
gradually diminishing in number, owing to 
the general prevalence of information, and a 
sounder tone of thinking on Biblical ques-
tions." Thus he shows both his ignorance 
of the Scriptures, and of the facts in the 
case. He thinks the great truths of Christ's 
personal second coming to be one of no prac-
tical good, belonging to a certain class of 
literature which he thinks of no benefit. But 
he ought to know that the Bible belongs to 
this class of literature, and that the second 
coming of Christ, is one of the most power-
ful motives and incentives to practical good ? 
Is the duty of watchfulness a practical good ? 
How often then does our Saviour enforce 
' this duty by referring to his second coining. 
He says : "For the Son of man is as a man 
taking a far journey, who left his house, and 
gave authority to his servants and command- 
ed the porter to watch. Watch, ye, there-
fore, for ye know not when the Master of 
the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or 
at the cock crowing, or in the morning ; lest 
corning suddenly, he find you sleeping. Arid 
what I say unto you, I say unto all, Watch." 
Mark 13 : 34-37. 
new moon in October, and was used only in 
civil and agricultural concerns. In ether 
matters, they began the year with Nisan, or 
the first new moon in April." 
Mr. Richard Watson, in his Theological 
Dictionary, says, "The civil year of the He-
brews has always begun at autumn, at the 
mouth they now call Tisri, which answers to 
our September, and sometimes enters into 
October, according as the lunations happen. 
But their sacred years, by which the festivals, 
assemblies, and all other religious acts, were 
regulated, began in the spring, at the month 
Nisan, which answers to March, and some-
times takes up a part of April, according to 
the course of the moon. 
Alexander Cruden, in his Concordance, 
says, "The Hebrews had their Sacred and 
Civil year ; the former for the celebration of 
their feasts and religious ceremonies, which 
began with the month Nisan, cr March ; the 
latter for the ordering of their political or 
civil affairs which began in Tisri, or Septem-
ber." 
This much it seems the Lord permitted 
them to do with respect to a civil year 
which they had been formally accustomed to 
use. But that he permitted them to 
change the time, both of the month and 
year, of those roost sacred ordinances—
while's were precious types of the great and 
glorious antitype of Release, Liberty, and 
Glory—and that, too, without his appoint-
ment, command, or consent, I cannot believe 
unless it can be proved by the _Lord's *holy 
Word. If you will give us the proof from 
the Bible I shall feel bound to believe it, and 
shall do so with great pleasure, thanking you 
most sincerely for the light and truth you 
impart on this subject. 
Concerning the cycles of the jubilees you 
say as above, "The complete cycle was fifty 
years, at the end of which a new cycle be-
gan," and that "The jubilee, therefore, began 
not in the sabbattic year, but at its close." 
This looks to me like an impossibility, for 
the Lord said to the Jews, "Seven times seven 
shall be unto thee forty and nine years." Lev. 
25 : 8. Thus these continuous sevens make 
a complete, and perfect, and continuous round 
of cycles of just forty-nine years and no more. 
Now if you will please to compare a forty-
nine year cycle, with a fifty year cycle, you 
will readily see that the fifty year cycle, will 
overreach the forty-nine year cycle, just one 
year for each successive cycle, so that the 
fiftieth year will come next in course after 
the forty-ninth year, only once in seven suc-
cessive cycles. Therefore it seems to me im-
possible to have both of these statements cor-
rect. That is,- 
1. That the fiftieth year always began at 
the end of the forty-ninth year. 
'2. That the cycles of the jubilees were 
cycles of fifty years each. 
For as you see by the above, there must 
unavoidably be a gain of one year by the 
fifty over the forty-nine years each successive 
cycle making the jubilee year come next af-
ter the sabbatic year only once in seven 
cycles. Thus in iny weakness but with my 
trust fully and firinly fixed in the Lord my 
Heavenly Father, I have brought testimony 
from his holy Word, that the sabbatic year 
did commence with the first month of' the sa-
cred year, and also that the fiftieth year " 
which is both a jubilee year, and a sabbatic 
year, did commence with that first month 
and run parallel with the sacred—or as you 
term it calendar—year to its end. I have 
also brought testimony from Covel, -Watson, 
and Cruden that coincides with the Word of 
God, and these together seem to establish this 
matter most clearly:, 
 
For my own part I am perfectly satisfied 
with the foregoing testimony, and until 
stronger and clearer testithony shall be 
brought forth from the' Word of truth to 
sustain the opposite side of the question, I 
shall continue to believe the testimony above 
presented, and of course believe that the jubi-
lee and sabbatical years did begin, run paral-
lel and end with the Jewish sacred year, and 
that the cycles were cycles of forty-nine 
years but not of fifty years. • 
STEPHEN K. BALD-WIN. 
Laconia, Aug., 1865 
IS TRUTH CONCERNING THE 
JUBILEES. 
this consideration. It will at once be seen 
that the subject of the book places it beyond 
the pale of ordinary newspaper discussion. 
It belongs to a class of literature that we 
think cannot possibly be productive of prac-
tical good, and one that is gradually dimin-
ishing in number, owing to the general prev-
alence of information, and a sounder tone of 
thinking on Biblical questions. Still it is un-
deniable that many devout minds have found 
support and nourishment in the investigation 
of the prophetical records, and to all who 
indulge in this seductive study, Mr. Shime-
all's book will be welcome." 
It seems that the writer of this book is 
well known as one who has made the proph-
ecies of the Word of God his special study. 
He is a minister of the Presbyterian Church, 
and we have reason to rejoice that ministers 
of that, as well as other denominations, are 
awakened to search the Scriptures in refer-
ence to the second corning of Christ. It looks 
much like the fulfillment of the prophecy, 
"Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge 
shall be increased." It is also gratifying to 
perceive that a secular newspaper is willing 
to notice such a publication, for it is a rare 
thing to find in such papers any allusion to 
the works on prophecy which have for a num-
ber of years so greatly multiplied, and about 
as rare to find such works for sale in our 
bookstores. 
The writer of this notice in the Times, ac-
knowledges that Mr. Shimeall is "well known 
for the extent and wide range of his studies 
in the interpretation of the prophetical Scrip-
tures," and that he "brings forward the 
names of some of the most venerated teach-
ers and theologians of his day," in support, 
doubtless of his views of the subject under 
consideration, and yet the writer in the 
Times, who probably has given no attention 
to the study of the prophecies, proceeds to 
advance objections to such publications, 
which show his ignorance of one of the great 
truths of God's Word. He observes: "It 
will at once be seen that the subject of the 
book places it beyond the pale of ordinary 
newspaper disscussion." Why so ? Is not 
the great tact of the second corning of Christ, 
and that in all probability before long, a sub-
ject worthy of the attention of all men, 
everywhere, and in all places where truth 
should be proclaimed ? Is the record of 
wars and rumors of wars of more conse-
quence than the coming of Christ, of' which 
these wars are so many signs? Is the record 
of crimes of all kinds committed, more im-
portant to be made known, than the fact that 
the crimes are to be committed until the Son 
of man shall come in the clouds of heaven 
to punish these criminals with everlasting de-
struction? Is it more IR sirable to know 
about the business, the politics, the amuse-
ments of the world, than to know that the 
present state of things shall go on in much 
the same manner, if not worse than at pres-
ent ? The great majority of professing Chris-
tians are expecting a glorious millennium 
and a conversion of the world, previous to 
the second coming of Christ. Why should. 
not the newspapers of the day endeavor to 
undeceive them in their views on this matter, 
and show them what the Saviour himself 
said in relation to his coming. "But as the 
of the pre-millennial coming of the Lord Je-
sus Christ. The following is the notice of 
the book by the Times: 
"The writer of this volume is well known 
for the extefit and wide range of his studies, 
connected with the interpretation of the Pro-
phetical Scriptures. All he asks for it, is a 
fair and candid examination of his theory, in 
the interests not of victory, but of truth, and 
he brings forward the names of some of the 
most venerated teachers and theologians of 
the day—under whose auspices the work ap- Paul says, "The day of the Lord cometh WHAT 
pears—to show that he is at least entitled to , as a thief in the night. Therefore let us not 
sleep as do others ; but let Als watch and be 
sober.,' 1 Thess. 5: 2, 6. And in sundry 
other places is this duty of watching enforced 
by the fact that Christ is coming again. Are 
we required to be active, faithful and dili-
gent in the service of the Lord ? Then these 
requirements are enforced by the truth that 
Christ is corning to judgment. The parable 
.of the talents, Matt.. 25 : 14-30, and of the 
pounds, Luke 19 : 11727, is a proof of this. 
"Behold, I come quickly," saith the Saviour. 
"blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of' the 
book. Rev. 22 : 7. Again, "Behold, I come 
as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth and 
keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked 
and they see his shame." Rev. 16 : 15. 
Is love for one another a "practical good ?" 
Then the coming of the Lord is a motive to 
the attainment of Christian grace. "The 
Lord make you to increase and abound in 
love one toward another, and toward all 
men, even as we do toward you. To the end 
he may establish your hearts unblameable in 
holiness before God even our Father, at the 
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his 
saints." 1 Thes. 3 : 12, 13. 
Is it a "practical good" that we should 
live holy and godly lives ? Then the coming 
of Christ is a motive urged for our so doing. 
Peter, after having described that great day 
of the Lord when he shall come again, says, 
"Seeing that all these things shall be dis-
solved, what manner of persons alight ye to 
be in all holy conversation and godliness, 
looking for and basting unto the coming of 
the day of God, wherein the heavens shall 
be dissolved, and the elements shall melt 
with fervent heat. Nevertheless we, accord-
ing to promise, look for new heavens and a 
new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 
Wherefore beloved, seeing that ye look fbr 
such things, be diligent, that ye may be found 
of him in peace, without spot and blameless." 
2 Peter 3: 11-14. 
But why should I multiply the proofs from 
the Word of God, that the second personal 
coming of Christ is held forth as the great 
motive to "practical good." We are exhort-
ed to a patient waiting for his corning ; that 
our- conversation should be in heaven ; that 
our hearts should be established unblamea-
ble : that our whole bodies, souls and spirits 
May be wholly sanctified ; that our hearts 
may be directed into the love of God ; to 
look for that blessed hope of eternal life, 
and to be encouraged by the promise of a 
crown of righteousness which the Lord, the 
righteous Judge, shall give to all who love 
his appearing. 
And yet we have a writer in the Tinzes, 
declaring that such a literature as treats of 
the glorious pre-millennial coming of Christ 
is of no practical good. Who then shall we 
believe ? Such a writer as this, or Christ 
and his apostles ? What shall we follow ? 
The teachings of such a writer, or those of 
the Holy Scriptures ? I speak unto wise 
men, judge ye what I say. "If the blind 
lead the blind, both shall fhll into the ditch." 
But there is one other remark made by 
the writer of the notice .of Mr. Shimeall's 
book. It is that this kind of literature is 
"gradually diminishing in number, owing to 
the general prevalence of information, and a 
sounder tone of thinking on Biblical ques- 
Beloved Bro. Litch :—having received and 
and read your answers to my inquiries in the 
Herald No 1260, I now have, if I mistake 
not, a correct understanding of your position 
on the sabbatical and jubilee years and their 
cycles as you hold them. Anti if I do under-
stand you correctly, your position is as fb1-1 
lows ; and as heretofore inserted in the Her-' 
aid, I repeat : 
You say, the calendar year began 
with the first month, that is with the new 
moon nearest-the vernal equinox. 
The Jewish civil year you begin with 
the tenth day of' the seventh month of the 
calendar year at the sounding of' the jubilee 
trumpet. 
You say that there the forty-nine years 
ended and the fiftieth year began . . . you 
say also, "The jubilee therefore began not in 
the sabbatic year, but at its close; and the 
whole fiftieth year was a jubilee year, as the 
whole forty-ninth year was a sabbatic year. 
4. You also say the complete cycle was 
fifty years; at the end of which a new cycle 
began. 
The above are your views as you have 
plainly and clearly given them in the Herald, 
or at least they are the substance of your po-
sition on this subject. I now feel confident 
that you will receive these remarks of mine 
in kindnes, however unworthy they, and the 
writer of them may be of your notice.. I 
therefore take courage and pursue the sub-
ject and would further say, 
That the calendar year—as you term it—
began with the first months I fully believe, for 
the Lord has expressly said, "This month 
shall be unto you the beginning of months, it 
shall be the first month of the year to you. 
Exod. 12 : 2. And although the Jews used 
what is termed a civil year, by which they 
transacted their worldly business concerns, 
yet the Lord in his holy word did not appoint 
that civil year to be used for their sabbatical 
and jubilee years, but did say as above con-
cerning the first month, and the year that be-
gals with that first mouth. Yes he did pos-
itively and plainly say, "This month shall be 
unto you time beginning of months, it shall be 
the first month of THE YEAR to you. 
If the Lord did not appoint for the civil 
year that it should be covered entire from its 
beginning to its ending with the sabbatical 
and jubilee years, would he have allowed the 
Jews to use that civil year instead of the sa-
cred year that he had so plainly and positive-
ly commanded them to keep for the sabbat • 
ical and jubilee years ? 
Or otherwise, if he had intended that they 
should observe such a year—one that began 
about the middle of his sacred year—would 
he not have given them proper instructions 
concerning the change, and not have left it 
it with them, the Jews, to make such an im-
portant change without any instruction or 
authority from himself'? 
Most certainly it would be like him to give 
all necessary instruction, and I am sure he 
would have done so if a change was to be made. 
Mr. James Covel, in his dictionary of the 
Holy Bible, says, "The Hebrews practised 
two modes of reckoning the mouths. The 
more ancient mode of reckoning, was by be-
ghaning the year with Tisri that is, the first, 
REMARKS.—We cheerfully give the fore-
going, as we admire the spirit in which it is 
written. On all these questions we feel per-
fectly free to let those who differ from us 
give full expression to their views and argu-
ments, when, as Bro. Baldwin always does, 
they give them in the spirit of brotherly 
kindness, and for light and instruction. 
We are fully agreed with our brother 
that the Jewish Calendar or Sacred year be-
gan in the spring, and the civil year in the 
fill. 
We disagree on the question as to which 
of these years was the one at which the sab-
battic year commenced, lie believing it was 
in the spring and we in the fall. 
Our reason for this is-1. That if the sab-
batic years began in the spring it was impos-
sible for them to have six seed-times and six 
harvests in six consecutive years, because 
their seed-time was in the fall and harvest in 
in the following spring. 2. Because the fif-
tieth year, and not the forty-ninth, which was 
the sabbatic year, was to be a jubilee. We 
cannot see how our brother makes the forty-. 
ninth or sabbatic year identical with the fif-
tieth or jubilee year. 
What do we not know relative to what 
lies beyond the tomb? 
We do not know whether departed souls 
can do anything for those souls whom they 
leave behind. Some have supposed they 
can. Roman Catholics go so far, as to pray 
to the departed, that they may thus enlist 
their energies in their behalf: But this is 
positively wrong. Prayer is an act of wor-
ship, and God alone is to be worshipped. 
To render worship to any but Him, whether 
saints, or angels, or the virgin Mary, is rank 
impiety. There is but one instance on record 
in the Scriptures, where a departed soul was 
prayed to, and in that instance the prayer 
was of no avail. Dives in torment prayed 
to Abraham that Lazarus might ,be sent 
with a drop of water to cool his tongue ; but 
Lazarus was not sent ; and the only reply 
was : "thou in thy lifetime, receivedst thy 
good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things, 
but now be is comforted and thou art tor-
mented." While however., the departed are 
in no case to be prayed to, we do not cer-
tainly know that when they have passed 
through the gate of death, they are of no fur-
ther service to us in this life. It cannot be 
proved that our pious relatives and friends, 
who have passed through the dark valley in-
to the world of spirits, may not be real 
sources of consolation, guidance, and strength 
to us, amidst the present trials, troubles and 
sorrows of' the probationary state. It was 
the opinion of' the late Rev. Dr. Gallaudet of 
this city that such was the fact. We can, 
however, only conjecture on this point. We 
do not positively know. 
Nor do we • know whether indeed they 
have any knowledge of what is transpiring in 
this world. There are some texts in the Bi-
ble which seem to intimate that all commu-
nication Letween them and ourselves is ens-
tinily cut off. Job, for instance, appears to 
have thought that the departed father had no 
personal knowledge of the state and circum-
stances of his children who survived him. 
His language to God is, "Thou destroyest the 
hope ot man. Thou prevailest against him 
and he passeth ; thou changest his counte7 
nance and sendest him am ay. His sons come 
to honor . and lie knoweth it not, and they 
are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of 
them." That is, is utterly ignorant of their 
temporal condition ;—whether they are fa-
vored with the mild gales of prosperity, or 
are swept by the rude storms of' adversity. 
The prophet Isaiah, likewise, represents 
the church as saying unto Jehovah, "Doubt-
less thou art our father though Abraham be 
ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us 
not." If Abraham knows nothing about the 
churches on this footstool of God, is ignorant 
of so essential a subject as the circumstances 
of Zion,—a matter so important, and in 
which he would be naturally so much inter-
ested; the departed may be as ignorant of 
what passes in this world as we are of what 
is going on in the world where they dwell. 
We cannot say how this is. So much how-
ever, we think may be said—tilt though a 
visible chain between us and our deceased 
relatives may be broken, so that they cannot 
day by day look down upon us or be about 
our paths, they yet think of us, and have a 
tender attachment to us. It is difficult to 
conceive how it should be otherwise. There 
is affection which is undying. There is a 
union of hearts which the grave cannot sep-
arate ; and as an affectionate friend of ours 
would be such a friend in Europe or Asia, 
though oceans washed between us, so those 
lovely 'ones in the land of the blessed, contin-
ue to enshrine us in the warm affections of 
their souls. 
Pleasant, however, would it be, to be as- 
WHO ARE ELECTED ? 
Mark well, that one of the ways by which 
your election will become clear and sure to 
all God's people will be this : if' you are 
anointed king as David was before you, you 
will come into conflict with Saul. I cannot 
be possible that the chosen of God shall for-
ever live in peace with the heirs of hell. He 
who put an enmity between the seed of the 
woman and the seed of the serpent, takes 
care that that old enmity shall never die. 
The two first men of woman born, were en-
emies of one another for this reason, and un-
til Christ shall come that same enmity will 
exist. Saul may like thee for a little time if 
thou canst play well upon an instrument and 
drive away his melancholy, but when Saul 
finds thee out and discovers thee be the 
anointed king, he will hurl his javelin at 
thee. The world is very satisfied with some 
ministers, and with some Christians, because 
they very much resemble itself ; but as sbon 
as the world finds out "this is a man separ-
ate frotn us, of a different nature and of a 
different country," it cannot but hate the man 
—it must do so. Dost thou expect the 
world's good word ? then go thy way and 
flatter it, and bow to it, and cringe, and be 
its servant, and thou shalt have thy reward 
in everlasting contempt ; but art thou will-
ing to take thy lot without the camp with 
Jesus, and to be recognized as being not of 
this world, because he hath chosen you out 
of the world, then expect to receive hard 
measures, to be misconstrued and misrepre-
sented, and to be despised, for thy reward 
shall be when he cometh, and that reward 
shall outweigh all that thou endurest here 
below. 
I think David was never more clearly 
manifested to be God's elect, except at the 
last of all, than when he was an outlaw. He 
never seems such a grand man as when he is 
among the tracks of the wild goats of Enge- 
di ; never so great as when he is passing 
through the wilderness while Saul is hunting 
him, or standing at midnight over the sleep- 
ing Term of his enemy, and saying, "I will 
not touch him, for he is the Lord's anointed." 
We do not read of many faults, and slips, 
and errors then. The outlawed David is 
most certainly manifested to all Israel to be 
the chosen of' God, because the chosen of 
man cannot abide him. The happiest and 
best days, I believe, with the people of God, 
are when they are most outlawed by men, 
when they are put out of the synagogue, and 
when he that should kill them would think 
that he did God service. The brightest days 
for Christian piety were the days of martyr-
dem and persecution. Scotland has many 
saints, but she never has had such rich saints 
as those who lived in covenanting times ; 
England has had many rich divines who 
have taught the Word, but the Puritanic age 
was the golden age of England's Christian 
literature. Depend upon it, you will find in 
your own life you may have many days of 
heaven upon earth, but the place of persecu-
tion and rejection will be the spot where Je-
sus Christ manifests himself the most to you. 
Are you resolved not to be conformed to this 
world ? Are you willing to bear with Christ 
the brunt of the battle, and like the living 
fish to swim against the stream ? Are you 
ready to stand out like the other holy chil-
dren in the days of Nebuchadnezzar, and to 
say like the apostles in the days of the high 
priests, "Whether it be right to serve God or 
men, judge ye ?" Have ye cast off the fear 
man ? Have ye taken up the cross to wear 
as your best and greatest ornament and 
treasure? If so, you are giving the very 
best evidence of having been chosen out of 
the world because you are not of the world. 
Remember, to conclude, that after all con-
flicts were over, David was crowned. All 
Israel and all Judah sent to fetch Da-
vid, and they made him king; amidst the 
blast of the horns, and the homage, and 
songs and joy of the people, David, the 
elected one, was publicly recognized; the 
crown was put upon his head, the imperial 
mantle graces his person, he signed the de-
crees, and his word was law from Dan to 
Beersheba. The day cometh when the like 
shall, be true of the meanest and most des-
pised of God's chosen. Truly said the apos-
tle, "it doth not yet appear ;" we cannot see 
it, only faith can discern it, but it shall ap-
pear—it cometh--the appearing draweth 
nigh. Our head shall yet wear the crown, 
for we shall reign with Christ Jesus. Me-
thinks even this earth, which has despised us, 
shall yet know us as kings when we shall 
reign with Him. We shall yet put on the 
imperial purple ; from the river, even to the 
ends of the earth, the saints shall possess the 
kingdom ; and when Jesus comes to judge 
the people, we shall judge angels, sitting as 
assessors with him, giving our verdict, and 
adding our "Amens" to all his sentences. 
Nay, even in heaven itself, angels shall be 
our servitors ; they shall be ministering 
spirits to the heirs of salvation, and we shall 
sit upon thrones. Oh ! Christian, thou 
knowest not the pomp which shall yet sur-
round thee ! Thou hast had some glimmer-
ing thought of the SaviZsur's glory and the 
Saviour's dignity, but host thou not forgotten 
that all this is thine ? for we shall be like 
him when we shall see him as he is. "Father, 
I will that they whom thou bast given me, 
be with me where I am." The same place 
sured of the fact. And could that messen-
ger-bird visit us from the spirit-land, which 
in some countries is believed' by the inhabi-
tants to come from thence,--not slow should 
we be in questioning the feathery herald on 
this subject,—saying in the words of the 
poet : 
"But tell us, thou bird of the solemn strain, 
Can those who have loved, forget? 
We call, but they answer not again—
Do they love, do they love us yet ? 
We call them far through the silent night , 
And they speak not from cave nor hill ; 
We know, we know, that their land is bright. 
But say, do they love there still ?" 
We must believe that they do ;—and we 
rejoice in the fact that no man can prove the 
contrary. Yes, happy may we be in the 
thought which reason allows us tes entertain, 
and revelation nowhere discourages ; that 
more than one dear friend, more than one 
angel-form gathered into the bowers of life-
immortal, still holds us in grateful remem-
brance ! 
We know not whether a spirit entering the 
other world is permitted to inform the res-
idents there what has taken place in the vil-
lage, town, or city, where they once dwelt, 
and where he died. He cannot but be ac-
quainted with many occurrences of which it 
might be interesting for some of them to be 
informed ;—the question is, can, or may he 
impart to thetn such information ? This we 
cannot decide. If we could, and decide it 
affirmatively, it would enable us to decide 
sundry other questions, and cast light on 
other points now wrapped in darkness. Sup-
posing a spirit recently departed from the 
midst of us to communicate to our friends in 
the invisible state, all he knew regarding us 
up to the time of his decease, it would fur-
nish them with such a mass of information as 
would enable them to be well-informed re-
specting us, even though they could not 
themselves see us, or in any way tender us 
service. But whether this be so we cannot 
affirm. If intelligence of earthly matters is 
borne into eternity by every passenger 
through the gate of death, there can be no 
want of such intelligence, since there are 
many thousands of such passengers between 
the rising and setting of every sun. 
We know not in what language the de-
parted communicate their ideas. None can 
for a moment doubt that they do hold con-
verse with each other ; but how, or in what 
tongue, we are ignorant. It is the current 
opinion of the Jews that this tongue is the 
Hebrew. The reason assigned for this opin-
ion is, that this was the language with which 
Adam and Eve in Paradise were first in-
spired ; the language in which patriarchs 
and prophets spoke and wrote ;—the lan-
guage which Christ himself used while tab-
ernacling in the flesh ; and the language in 
which, since his resurrection and ascension, 
he addressed the apostle Paul. This last in-
cident referred to is mentioned in Acts 26: 
14, "And when we were all fallen to the 
earth, I heard a voice speaking mit° me, and 
saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, 
why persecutest thou me ? It is hard for 
thee to kick against the pricks." This voice 
was uttered by our Saviour from heaven. 
It is moreover worthy of note that when 
in the Apocalyptic vision, with which John 
was favoured in Patmos, he heard the inhab 
itants of heaven singing their songs to God, 
they cried hallelujah, which is a- Hebrew 
word, signifying praise ye the Lord. It is 
presumable that, in the eternal state, there 
are not different languages as on our globe, 
but that this language is one : 
although 
what that one language is, we know not. 
Neither, it may be added, do we know 
how one saint is rewarded and distinguished 
above another. That there is a distinction 
among the ransomed hosts of God in heaven, 
is a plain matter of r.uvelation. There are 
different degrees of glory among the re-
deemed : "one star differeth from another 
star in glory." It follows not that, because 
all saints are alike adopted and justified 
through the atonement and intercession of 
Jesus, all are alike glorified ; any more than 
that several diamonds of the same water and 
finish are all of the same weight and value. 
There will be variety among the blessed in 
respect to knowledge, holiness, and happi-
ness ; but how this difference between one 
and another can consist with the perfect 
blessedness of all, we cannot say. All will 
be pefectly blessed ; and yet some will have 
more intellectual and spiritual enjoyment, and 
a higher degree of exaltation than others. 
The Bible is given, not for our curiosity 
and entertainment, but for our edification and 
salvation. 
True, 'we know only in part,' but blessed 
be God that we know so much, and that 
what we know is of such superior import-
ance to what is unknown. What is unknown 
is curious and interesting indeed, but not ab-
solutely nesessary to either our safety or hap-
piness. Ere long, we shall know all. "When 
that which is perfect is come, then that which 
is in part shall be demi tieiay." But a few 
more days, and every problem of futurity 
will be solved. But a few more days and 
we shall be among the amazing realities of 
the unseen state. See to it, reader, that you 
are prepared to go, that you leave not the 
the shores of time, launch not forth into the 
boundless eternity, enemies to him with 
whom you have so emphatically and per-
petually to do. His favor is life, life eter_ 
nal, and his frown everlasting death.

TUESDAY, A UG 1.7ST 29, 1865. 
JOSIAH LITCII, EDITOR. 
THE MILLENNIUM—LITERAL VIEW. 
The discourse which we have given this 
subject from Dr. Siess, is so full and conclu-
sive that we scarcely need add more. But 
as it is a question in which many persons of 
all persuasions feel a deep interest, we pro-
pose to continue our selections from different 
authors. 
One of the most interesting points in the 
20th chapter of Revelation, is the question 
as to the identity of Gog and Magog. Who 
are they? it is often asked. 
Dr. Cumming, in his volume, entitled 
The End, says that be thinks he has discov-
ered the solution of the question. His opin-
ion was that it was "the wicked dead who 
shall be raised at the end of the thousand 
years." This is our own view of the sub-
ject. "The rest of the dead lived not again 
until the thousand years were finished," 
clearly implies that they will be raised again 
when those years are fulfilled. And having 
died in the four quarters of the earth, they 
will be gathered from these sources around 
the camp of the saints, and the beloved city. 
And it will be just such a multitude as we 
might expect to be gathered of that class, as 
the sand upon the sea shore. 
Dr. Prince, a former pastor or the Old 
South Church, Boston, we find expressed the 
same view. We copy the following from 
that valuable compilation by Rev. D. T. 
Taylor, The Voice of the Church: 
PRINCE, A. D. 1750. 
Thomas Prince, pastor of the Old South 
Church, Boston in _1728, of whom Chauncey 
said, "he was second in learning to none but 
Cotton Mather in New England," was an 
eminent Pre-millennialist. He fully entered 
into Mather's views, tumid of him said, "And 
to say no more—I cannot think to wish a 
greater blessing in the present state of the 
prophetic system, than that the God of the 
spirits of all flesh, would, in my own dear 
country and every other, raise Up numbers 
of such ministers as this, and prosper this su-
perior example for the forming and animat-
ing them that they may burn and shine as 
he, and prepare the world. for the most illus-
trious appearance of the Great God, our 
Saviour Jesus Christ, that Sun of Righteous-
ness." To this, we add our hearty Amen. 
He made the prophecies a "favorite study of 
hisl Pfe,' says Spalding, "and was far from 
adopting the modern plan of the Millennium. 
Concerning Gog and Magog, he made the 
following observation, "For near forty years, 
I have been more and more inclined to think 
that the Gog and Magog of Rev. 20, will be 
the wicked raised at the end of the thousand 
years, whose raneored and malicious spirits, 
with all the devils then brought out of the 
dark abyss together, possessieg, infatuating, 
and hillaming them, will be permitted to 
rage against the saints for a very little sea-
son, till the general judgment comes on and 
quells them." This view explains an import-
ant doctrine connected with Pre-millennial-
ism. Prince died in 1758.

with them ? It is a pretty hold face that a 
man puts on at this day when he coolly says 
to the millions of members of Christian 
Churches that the only purpose which their 
Idoctrines of faith serve, is the obscuration of 
the excessive effulgence of the Mind's rays. 
The brightness would destroy us if we had 
nothing' to temper it. After all, then, Ra-
tionalism does find a little use for dogmatic 
systems. How generous! 
But from what woes does Rationalism de-
liver man ? What has it already done for 
him ? Mr. Lecky infbrms us that all the 
evils which have existed in the Church can 
find their only real antidote in Rationalism. 
The Christian religion used to be a system 
of terrorism, which painted in dark and for- 
cible colors the misery of man and the pow- 
er of evil spirits. -Consequently it engen-
dered the belief in witchcraft or magic. It 
filled the imagination with awful images of 
evil spirits of' superhuman power and untir-
ing malignity. • Witchcraft prevailed over 
Europe, and it had a strong support irethe 
wilds of New England. Now, Rationalism 
was latent all this time ; but when once it 
became aroused, it dissipated superstition as 
the .sun makes the morning mists to disap-
pear. Sorcery could not live in its presence. 
Neither- could the belief in miracles survive 
the new light which the awakened mind has 
been casting on all the modes of thought. 
We regret that Mr. Lecky should so mis-
take as to include a beliet in scriptural mira- 
cles in the same category with witchcraft, 
sorcery, and the ridiculous vagaries of the 
uneducated mind; also, that when he speaks 
disparagingly of miracles he should place the 
deceptions of Catholicism on a par with the 
miracles of the Scriptures. Having success- 
fully accomplished the very easy task of' dis-
proving the pretended miracles of the middle 
ages, he leaps to the conclusion that all mir-
acles are but little better than these tricks of 
the priesthood. His proposition is a broad 
one, and is couched in undisguised language: 
"The repugnance of men to believe miracu-
lous narratives is in direct proportion to the 
progress of ci;ilization and the diffu-ion of' 
knowledge. . . . . The plain fact is, that 
the progress of civilization produces invaria-
bly a certain tone and habit of thought 
which makes men recoil from miraculous 
narratives with an instinctive and immediate 
repugnance, as though they were essentially 
incredible, independent of any definite argu-
ments, and in spite of dogmatic teaching." 
But Mr. Lecky does not fail to see that 
when he takes this view of a belief in mira-
cles, he boldly confronts every evangelical 
Protestant denomination. Hence he goes 
still further, and contends that the Protestant 
Churches are losing ground, that they fail to 
appreciate the wants of the age, and that in-
dependent Rationalism is the only agent ca-
pable of supplying the deficiency. Already 
earnest thinking has seceded from Protestant-
ism, and is reaping its own great harvest 
without the impediments of dogmatism and 
restrictive rites. Of the many hundreds of 
great thinkers and writers, in every depart-
ment, who have separated from Catholicism, 
it would not be easy to find tlsree men of 
eminence and sincerity who have attached 
themselves to any of the more conservative 
forms of' Protestantism. Amid all the great 
-religious revolutions of late years, Protestant 
Churches have made no advance, and exer-
cised no influence. They have gained noth-
ing by the decay of their ancient rival. All 
the power they once had has utterly left 
them. But it is not lost. Rationalism has 
absorbed it, and now possesses it. 
In the same strain Mr. Lecky informs us 
that this age has totally rejected miracles. 
But he triumphs in his conclusion, and gives 
two laws which have effected the great re-
sult. First, the increasing sense of law, pro-
duced by physical science, which predisposes 
men more and more to attribute all the phe-
nomena that meet them- in actual life, or in 
history, to normal rather than abnormal 
agencies. Second, the, diminution of the in-
fluence of theology, partly from causes that 
lie within itself; and partly from the great in-
crease of other subjects which incline men to 
judge all matters by a secular rather than by 
a theological standard. 
Mr. Lecky is an illustration of the great 
ease with which one disordered mind con-
cludes that everybody else is in the same 
state. Not yet has the time arrived when 
the world has lost its sense of' the miraculous, 
and God grant that it never may come.—?he 
Methodist. 
EARLY INSTRUCTIONS 
INSTRUCTIONS REVIVED. 
BY JOHN B. GOUGH. 
I remember myself the days of Sabbath 
school instruction. I remember the teach-
ings of a praying, pious Mother. That mother 
was very poor, but she was one of the Lord 
Jesus Christ's nobility, and she had a patent 
signed and sealed with his blood. She died 
a pauper, and was buried without a shroud, 
and without a prayer; but she left her chl-
dren the legacy of. a mother's prayers, and 
the Lord God Almighty was the executor of 
her last will and testament. That mother 
taught me to pray; and in early life I had 
acquired the habit of praying. She, with the 
assistance of teachers in the Sabbath school, 
had helped to store my mind with passages 
of Scripture. , And we do not forget that 
which we learn. It may be buried—it may 
be hid away in some obscure corner of the 
heart ; but, by and by, circumstances will re-
veal to- us the fact that we know more than 
we dreamed we knew. After that mother's 
death, I went out into the world; exposed to 
to temptation, I fell; I acquired bad habits; 
for seven years of my life, I wandered over 
God's beautiful earth like an unblessed spirit, 
wandering, whipped, over a burning desert, 
digging deep wells to quench my thirst, and 
bringing up the hot, dry sand. The livery 
of my master had become to me a garment 
of burning poison, bound with time fetters of 
evil habit—evil habit like an iron net encir-
cling me in its folds—fascinated with my 
bondage, and yet with a desire-0, how fer-
vent—to stand where I had once hoped to 
stand. Seven years of darkness, seven years 
of dissipation, seven years of sin I There I 
stood. 
"Ale" says one, "what is the effect now of! 
was a token to her praise such as few mothers 
in this or any other land have received. 
ger arrived from Bolton, C. E., with a re-
quest for us to attend on Monday the funeral 
ot 
for you as lot' the Savioar, and you shall be-
hold his glory, and you shall be partakers of 
it. Why, then, should you fear? Why 
should you be downcast and dismayed by 
reason of the trials on the way? Come 
pluck up courage. An hour with thy God 
will make up for it all. One glimpse of him, 
and what will persecutiOn seem? You have 
been called ugly names, and ill words have 
been pelted at you, but what will they be, 
when you shall hear him say, "Come, ye 
blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom 
prepared for you from before the foundation 
of the world." There! the world's thunder 
is gone like a whisper amidst the more glo-
rious roll of' angelic acclamations, and the 
hiss of enmity is all forgotten amidst the kiss 
of love which the Saviour gives to all his. 
faithful ones. Cheered by the reward, I 
pray you press forward! Greater riches 
than all .the treasures of Egypt shall you 
have who can renounce all for Christ's sake! 
"Be ye faithful unto death, and he will give 
you a crown of life." God grant that we 
may all be found numbered among the elec-
tion of grace, and none of us be cast away, 
and his shall be the praise forever and ever. 
Amen.—Spurgeon. 
a' mother's teaching and of a mother's prayers 
—of Sabbath school instruction, and of your 
good habits that you formed in early life?" 
0, I stood there—I remember it well—feel-
ing my own weakness, feeling that the "way 
of the transgressor is hard," and that "the 
wages of sin is death," feeling in my heart 
of hearts all the bitterneas that arises 
from the consciousness of powers that God 
had given to me wasted, conscious that I had 
been chasing the bubble pleasure, and find-
ing nothing—gaining nothing by it—there I 
stood ! That mother had passed to heaven. 
I remember one night sitting with her in the 
garret, and we had no candle. She said to 
me, "John, I am growing blind; I don't feel 
it much ; but you are young—it is bard for 
you ; but never mind, John, there's no night 
there; there's no need of any candle there ; 
the Lamb is the light thereof." She has 
changed the dark, gloomy garret, to bask in 
the sunshine of her Saviour's smiles. But 
was her influence lost? No. As I stood, 
feeling my own weakness, knowing that I 
could not resist temptation, it seemed as if 
the very light she left as she passed, had 
spanned the dark gap of seven years of sin 
and dissipation, and struck the heart and 
opened it. I felt utterly my own weakness, 
and the passages of Scripture that were 
stored away in my mind—buried, as it were, 
in the memory—came as if whispered again 
by the loving lips of that mother into my ear. 
"He is able to save to the uttermost." 
That 
is what I want. I want to be saved—I can-
not save myself—"save to the uttermost." 
"Him that cometh to me I will in no wise 
cast out." This was the force and influence 
of a mother's teaching. It was the force, as 
it were, of a good habit that had been utterly 
broken up and destroyed by the acquisition 
of the evil habits of sin. 
LECKY ON THE SPIRIT OF EUROPEAN 
RATIONALISM. 
We have before us a couple of beautiful 
volumes. They are gotten up in the latest 
style of London book-making. The paper, 
print, and binding are just what the most 
fastidious literary epicure would endorse. 
Moreover, to go from the material to the in-
tellectual character of Mr. Lecky's work, we 
find that it betrays careful composition, pa-
tient research, and thorough consistency. 
The author is capable of analyzing, while his 
fac4ity of generalization is of no mean or-
der. Our judgment is, that in this last char-
acteristic lies his greatest power. 
A cursory glance at the topics which Mr. 
. Lecky discusses, led us to a vague notion 
that between his work and the late Mr. Buc-
kle's celebrated fragment there was a strik-
ing resemblance. A careful examination of 
the entire argument of Mr. Lecky has not 
only confirmed this suspicion, but led us to 
the conclusion that of all the disciples of' the 
former, the latter takes the palm. If there 
were any gentle means of extorting from our 
author a frank word of confession, we be-
lieve the result would prove that he never 
thought of writing his work until, having 
read Buckle, he was supplied by him with 
arguments. The history before us is a veri-
table scion of the History . of Civilization. 
We have now indicated its position. The 
family to which the author belongs is Dar-
win, Buckle, Draper, and the radical Broad 
Churchmen. 
 
Since Mr. Lecky's work is perhaps the 
most recent, and certainly one of the most 
important apologies for the skepticism of the 
present day, we will follow his line of 
thought with some minuteness. Having 
given an introduetion, be proceeds to the dis-
sussions contained in the six chapters into 
which the whole book is divided. These 
chapters are extended essays on Magic and 
Witchcraft; Miracles of the Church; }Esthe-
tic, Scientific, and Moral Developments of 
Rationalism ; Antecedents and History of 
Persecution ; the Secularization of Politics; 
and the Industrial History of Rationalism. 
The terms used to define Rationalism in-
dicate the general argument, though we are 
surprised to find no statement of a definition 
until we get nearly to the middle of the first 
volume. Here Mr. Lecky speaks out clearly: 
"The central conception of Protestant Ra-
tionalism is the elevation of conscience into 
a supreme authority as the religious organ, a 
verifying faculty discriminating between 
truth and error. It regards Christianity as 
designed to preside over the moral develop-
ment of mankind, as a conception which was 
to become more .and more sublimated and 
spiritualized, as the human mind passed into 
new phases, and was able to bear the splendor 
of more unclouded light. Religion it be-
-Heves to be no exception to the general law 
of progress, but rather the highest form of 
its manifestation, and its earlier system but 
the necessary steps of an imperfect develop-
ment. In its eyes the moral element of 
Christianity is as the sun in heaven, and 
dogmatic systems are as the clouds that in-
tercept and temper the exceeding brightness 
of its rays. , . . . A system which would 
unite in one snblime synthesis all the past 
forms of human belief, which accepts with 
triumphant alacrity each new development 
of science, having no stereotyped standard 
to defend, and which represents the human 
mind as pursuing on the highest subjects a 
path .of continual progress toward the fullest 
and most transcendent knowledge of the De-
ity, can never fail to exercise a powerful in-
tellectual attraction." 
The author is infatuated with a false idea 
of pi-Ogress and development. He seems to 
ignore the fact that the adherents of Ortho-
doxy believe in growth and the higher types 
of civilization as much as himself. What 
are the Churches working for, but the pro-
gress of souls, and for the advancement of' 
the world toward the blessed consummation 
described by the prophets? The Bible 
points out the attainment by the Christian 
Church of a perfection that appears purely 
ideal to anything save humble faith. Ration-
alism, in its wildest fancies, never dreamed 
of as pure and wide spread, a civilization as 
that promised in the plain declarations of 
the Scriptures. 
When Mr. Lecky would make his readers 
believe that Orthodox Christianity opposes 
human progress, he is fighting a man of 
straw. But the real point of disagreement 
lies here ; he bolds that the factor of this ad-
vancement is human reason, while the Church 
claims that it is God. The Holy Spirit's 
agency is repudiated altogether by our au-
thor, and instead of it we are furnished with 
only the erring intellect of' than. Besides, 
if we are to consider Christianity as nothing 
but a "conception," and one to be "more and 
more sublimated and spiritualized as the hu-
man mind passes into new phases," we might 
as well cast it off altogether, and let reason 
advance, unfettered, without it. If dogmatic 
systems are "sun-spots," why not do away 
UNDOING. 
ELDER ASHER SMITH. 
To this request we could not give a refusal. 
In 1842 he went to Boston for the express 
purpose of inducing us to visit Canada and 
preach the gospel of the kingdom; and also 
was one of' the most active in preparing time 
way for the meetings then held. He was 
then an old man, some 67 or 8 years of age, 
but full of love for his Lord's appearing, and 
zeal for the proclamation of the doctrine. 
He has remained steadfast in the faith, till 
at the age of almost 89 years, he fell asleep 
in Jesus, to awake, we doubt not, in his like-
ness at the sound of the last trump. He 
commenced preaching the gospel among the 
Methodists at the age of about 18, and loved 
the work to the end. At one of the last 
meetings he attended, he spoke of his long. 
life in the ministry, and said, "If I was a 
young man I would begin again." He bur-
ied his wife about four years ago, with a 
heart full of faith and love, in joyful hope of 
reunion in the New Jerusalem. J. L.

A PERSONAL DEVIL. 
ln Zion's Herald of August 9th, we find 
an article on this subject from the pen of G. 
F. EATON. With the general sentiments of 
the article we are heartily agreed. But we 
think he has greatly weakened its. force by 
the following paragraph. 
"The intimations we have of Satan's pre-
vious history is proof of his personal exist- 
ence. In Rev. 12: 7, 9, we have the fol- 
lowing language: 'There was war in heav-
en: Michael and his angels fought against 
the dragon, and the dragon fought with his 
angels, and prevailed not, neither was their 
place found any more in heaven ; and the 
great dragon was cast out, that old serpent 
called the. devil and Satan, which deceiveth 
the whole world, he was-cast out into the 
earth, and his angels were cast out with 
him.' Some commentators state that the 
old dragon here spoken of cannot refer to 
Satan, because we should be led to the ab-
surdity of believing he had 'seven beads and 
ten horns,' etc.; and yet they have no hesi-
tancy in referring the whole passage to the 
conflict between the Christian church and 
the Roman power. But we wish merely to 
state our belief without fear of proof to the 
contrary that the passage teaches the pre-
existence of Satan, who caused war and con-
tention in heaven, for which he was cast 
hown to hell. Christ, referring to this fact 
in history, says, 'I saw Satan like lightning 
fall from heaven."Those who believe in his 
personal existence can account for that exist-
ence upon no other theory ; hence in our 
summary, the names, acts, and history of Sa-
tan, we have a strong ground-work as a ba-
sis for time doctrine that there is a devil." 
If the writer had considered that this 
scene is laid subsequent to the birth of a 
man-child ivho is to "rule all nations with a 
rod of iron," without pausing to ask even 
who he is, he would certainly be forced to 
the conclusion that it was not as early as the 
days of Adam that the war in heaven oe-

Again, it is-not into hell the devil is cast 
fm•om heaven, but into the earth. Once more,

laid amidst the cotnmetions of' the last days, 
and not near the origin of the human race. 
We epprehend the writer had studied Mil-
ton more carefully than he had the word of 
God. 
IMMORTALITY. 
At Derby Line, Vt., our meetings were 
refreshing but not large, except on the Sab-
bath, when there was a good audience, and 
we trust the word was received in good and 
honest hearts. 31-aey old friends were there, 
and many faces we had not betwe seen, But 
it is comforting to timid the fruit of former 
years still remaining witnessing to the power 
of truth and divine grace. 
At the tent-meeting at WAY'S MILL, C. 
E., which continued over two Sabbaths, we 
found a true yoke-fellow in Elder Samuel 
W. Thurber, an old and faithful laborer in 
the Lord's vineyard, who has labored more 
or less for many years in this section of Can-
ada, with great success. Many will rise up 
in the day of Christ to call him blessed. 
Several other ministers were present and 
rendered assistance in the meetings, among 
whom were Elders Isaac and Daniel Blake, 
who embraced the faith in 1842, and remain 
steadfast ; also Elders Griffin, McKiesey, 
Stevens, Merril ; and Forsyth of the Con-
gregational Church, a firm believer in the

MISSIONARY TEACHING IN INDIA. 
While preaching in the Bazaar this eve-
ning, I tried to explain the divine origin of 
the Bible. A Mohammedan replied that 
what I said was the truth, and that the 
Koran taught the same thing. I answered 
him in the following manner: "The Koran 
contains much that was given by inspiration, 
but the compiler of' the Koran was not an 
inspired man. That part which is inspira-
tiou was taken from the Bible. You say 
your name is 'Faz1 Hosein.' Now suppose 
you write a book this year; the people read 
it and say, 'This is Faz1 Hosein's book.' Five 
years hence another man, say ‘Ghularn Mo-
hammed,' produces a book which he claims 
to have just written, but when the people 
begin to read it they find that all the impor-
tant chapters are just what they had read in 
your book ! only that they are a little 
changed. What will they say? Will they 
not say this is plagiarism ? 'Ghulam Moham-
med. copied nearly all this from Fazl 
Hosein's book, which was written five years 
ago ? Just so the Koran is not a new rev-
elation at all, but a lot of chapters containing 
parts of the biography, etc., of men who lived 
many centuries ago. And as these historical 
sketches are found in the Bible, which was 
written many centuries before Mohammed 
was born, it is evident that they were tran-
scribed from that book into the Koran." 
While preaching on the Judgment, a 
Hindoo, after assenting to what I was saying 
about every man being accountable for his 
own actions, interrupted me by saying: 
"People are born and die every day. Now 
God cannot make a new soul for every one 
that is born. So when one dies, his soul 
just goes into some one else, for the soul 
never dies." I replied : "You say God is al-
mighty. Can he not then make a soul for 
every one who is born into the world? Is 
he so poor that he has to take one man's life 
to supply another ? Besides you say 
that we must all give an account to God at 
the Judgment, and every man will be pun-
ished or rewarded according to his actions 
in the world; but suppose I die, and my soul 
goes into another ; he dies, and the soul goes 
into a third person; now will 3ou tell me 
whose soul it will be at the Judgment, and 
who will give an account of the deeds we 
have all three committed ' " The . crowd 
laughed at him, and he did not attempt to 
answer.—Zion's Herald. 
the strongest form of affirmation. And when 
Jesus made this answer, he placed his claim 
to royalty over Israel in the strongest form. 
And this the angel Gabriel had done before 
the birth of Jesus, saying to Mary, "Thou 
shalt call his name Jesus. And the Lord 
God shall give to him the throne of his father 
David ; and he shall reign over time house of' 
Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there shall 
be no end." 
But concerning the count which charged 
him with forbiding him to 'give tribute to 
C[esar, he said, Why ask me? Ask them 
that heard me; they know what I said. He 
had said, "Render fo Civsar the things that 
are Cmsar's, and to God the timings which are 
God's." 
HIS TRIAL. 
Pilate proceeded to the trial with a fixed 
purpose to do justice in.the case. And after 
the closest scrutiny, he declared, "I find no 
fault in him." "This man has done nothing 
amiss." "I sent you to Herod, anch nothing 
of death or of bonds is done to him." He 
took water and washed his hands before 
them and said, "I am clear of the blood of 
this just man ; see ye to it." 
THE FINAL JUDGMENT OF PILATE. 
Pilate wrote in Hebrew, Greek arid Latin, 
"THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING 
OF THE JEWS." This he did of set purpose as 
his deliberate conviction from which he 
would not recede. For when the Jews saw 
the inscription, they appealed from it, and 
asked that it should be changed. "Write 
not," they said, "King of the Jews, but that 
he said, I am King of the Jews," to which 
Pilate responded, "What I have written, I 
have written." Thus it must forever stand 
as the deliberate judgment of the Superior 
Judicial Court of Judea, Pontius Pilate pre-
siding, that Jesus of Nazareth is the King of 
the Jews. Who shall go.behind this judg-
ment and say he is 'not? 
If so, then in his times, he who "before 
Pontius Pilate witnessed that good confes-
sion," "shall in his times show who is that 
blessed and only potentate, the King of kings, 
and the Lord of lords." He is the Nobleman 
who has gone to a "far country to receive 
for himself a kingdom and to return." 
No monarch who ever occupied a throne, 
ever received a clearer award of title to that 
throne, than did Jesus on his trial, to the 
throne of Israel, and sooner or later he will 
come in possession of it if he is alive. So 
that the only question left for our faith to set-
tle is, Is Jesus of Nazareth alive ? He has 
no competitor, for no Jew living, can as he 
has, prove his pedigree to David. 
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR. 
The Watchman and Reflector gives a thrill-
"sketch from a hospital diary." The sulsject 
was a soldier wasting away with the Chicka-
hominy fever, described as "one of nature's 
best make,' handsome, powerful in &mune, 
with a great glowing eye, that told of intense 
passion, and a lip that told of indomitable 
purpose." There be lay, "thoughtful and 
unconfiding," refusing sympathy or Other aid 
than the surgeons gave. Again and again 
the narrator tried to win upon him by such 
offices as are grateful to the sick, but was re-
spectfully repulsed. At last : 
I was not satisfied with my effort. After 
a few hours I was again by the bed of the 
thoughtful man. 
"I believe I have written nothing for you. 
Shall I not write to your friends, since you 
are unable?" 
"I have no one to write to !" 
"No one? No mother living ?" 
"No." 
As I stood, the eyes grew softer and deep-
er; there was a swelling about the face and 
neck, a slight -movement of the lip. Would 
he speak? confide? 
I waited—then the old question, "Can I 
do anything for you ?" 
"Can you undo?" 
What an utterance! 
Confession—remorse—agony. 
"None can Undo ; not God himself—but it 
is left for us to do." • 
"Do! what can we do? Sick—lying 
here—dying—what can I do ?" 
"What would you de ?" 
"Undo .1" with vehemence. 
"Each one of us would undo something, 
had not God in his wisdom forbidden it. But 
you are doing even now; you are repenting." 
"What's that? What good will that do ?" 
"It may lead to faith and pardon." 
"Pardon! I would not pardon myself if I 
could. I don't deserve it." The lips were 
firm, the eye clear, the -muscles • no longer 
swollen. 
"I don't want it, deserving what I do." 
It was clear that DO ordinary counsels or 
consolations could reach this man's heart. 
The fountain being opened, he went on to 
tell the story of the life that bad planted this 
remediless, pitiless remorse in his soul. 
Among other confessions, "Let me tell you," 
said he, "what I did. There was a boy in 
my tent, a mother's son that used to pray. I 
loved the boy, and yet I swore in his ears 
till lie stopped praying and learned to swear. 
Isaw him shot down in battle at ,my side, 
with one of the oaths he learned from me 
upon his lips. He went with it to God." 
So he went on with the terrible tale—stolid 
almost—unhoping quite. Not even the word 
of' salvation, "The blood of Jesus cleanseth 
from all sin," could touch his heart or engage 
his trust. What a lesson ! what a question : 
"Can you undo?"

HIS ARREST. 
When Christ rode into Jerusalem and 
was proclaimed King, and justified his pro-
ceeding by refusing to fbrbid his disciples to 
make the proclamation, saying, "If these 
should hold their peace, the stones would im-
mediately cry out ;" the rulers of tim Jews 
were excited, and regarded it as it was in 
in fact, an assumption of royal dignity, and 
it was on that ground they made time arrest. 
It was therefore in fact an arrest for treason 
against CXSar. 
HIS INDICTMENT. 
The Jewish nation at that time had lost 
the authority of' capital punishment, being 
subject to the Romans. They could indict, 
but not convict or execute. The whole Jew-
ish council was called together to act in the 
capacity of' a grand jury, to try to find a bill 
against, Jesus. Their law required two or 
three witnesses in order to convict. These 
they sought, but could not find. Mammy wit-
nesses came and testified, but no two agreed, 
except the two who said we heard him say, 
"Destroy this temple, and in three days I 
will raise it up." But this did not meet the 
case. Did he claim to be king of the Jews, 
the promised Christ ? None could • testify 
that he had done so. Failing to find sufficient 
testimony to establish a true bill, Om It

bath there was a crowd of people from all 
the adjacent country, who listened with great 
attention to the word. 
The awakening Spirit was present and 
The importance of our Matter condemns 
coldness and sleepy dullness. Our spirit 
should be well awakened, that we may be 
fit to awaken others. If our words be not 
sharp and piercing, they will hardly be felt 
by strong hearts. To speak slightly and 
coldly about heavenly things, is as had as to• 
say nothing of them. All our work must be 
managed reverently, as becomes them that 
believe in the presence of God ; not treating 
holy .things as counnon. 'The more God 
appears in our duties, the more authority 
will they have with men. Reverence is that 
affection of the soul which proceeds from 
deep aprehensions of God, and denotes that 
the mind is much conversant with him. To 
manifest irreverence about the things of God 
is so far to manifest hypocrisy, and that the 
heart agrees not with the tongue. I know 
not how it is with other persons ; but the 
most reverent preacher, who speaks as if he 
saw the face of God, does more affect my 
heart, though with common words, than an 
irreverent man, with the most accurate prep-
arations, though he bawl it out with ever so 
much seeming correctness. If reverence be 
not equal to fervency, it has but little effect. 
Of all things in the world, I hate that most 
which tends to-make the hearers laugh, or 
to affect their minds with such levity as 
stage-plays do, instead of affecting them with 
a holy reverence of the name of God. We 
should suppose, when we draw near him in 
holy timings, that we saw the throne of God, 
and the millions of glorious angels attending 
him, that we may be awed with his majesty 
lest we profane his service and take his 
name in vaire—Boxter.

earth in striving to resuscitate their hopes of 
immortality, of which the false philosophy 
current at that time had cheated them, by 
going over such arguments as those in the 
moved upon the hearts of the people, andlephIrde of Plato, and the tumbril of the ex-
several gave themselves to time Saviour. It ecutioner arrived whilst the problem was yet 
waa refreshing to see simmers coming to Je-
sus, to hear the cry, "God have mercy." 
May the work go on in power, till the whole 
region shall be awake to time things which 
belong to their peace. 
On Monday, the 14th of August, visited 
East Hatley, and preached at the old church, 
where in 1848, in company with Elder R. 
Hutchinson and others, we held and formed 
time first regularly organized Advent Confer-
ence, by the adoption of a constitution and 
providing for its perpetuity. This Conference 
is now called the Canada East amid Northern 
Vermont Conierence. 
Wednesday, the 16th, our meetings were 
interrupted through the day by the occur-
rence of three funerals within the circle 
from which our congregations catne. One 
was that of a young man who was at the 
tent-meeting on the Sabbath, hearty and 
well, and before Monday was gone ; his spirit 
had gone to God. Truly, "In the midst of 
life we are in death." 
Another was Mrs. Watt, of Hatley. She 
had been the mother of' twelve children, liv-
ing at the time of her death, and eleven of 
whom were present at her funeral, and deep-
ly mourned their great bereavement. She 
was a disciple of Jesus, amid died in hope of 
a part in the resurrection of the just. She 
gave two sons to the United States during 
the rebellion, who served faithfully and hon-
orably till discharged at the end of the war. 
They so fully sacured the confidence of their 
officers, that although Canadians, amid when 
across the lines free from arrest as deserters, 
they readily obtained furloughs to go home, 
and with,a manhood which does them honor, 
promptly returned to duty. Such a mother 
and such sons deserve honorable mention and 
deep gratitude frorp all loyal Americans. 
After the close of the afternoon service 
on Sunday the 20th, leaving Elder Thurber 
to carry on the third service, we went to 
West Hatley, and preached at 5 o'clock to a 
good, but hastily gathered audience. 
In time afternoon of the Sabbath a messen- 
unsolved. Few spectacles are more sad than 
this. Time hope that they could afford to trifle 
with in life, they felt after in the hour of 
death. But a month of Christian obedience 
would have taught them more of the nature 
of their own souls than all the reasoning that 
Pagan teachers ever wove together. If we 
seize Christ's promises and live in them, the 
belief' in immortality will become a part of 
us; and in the hour of death we shall not be 
suffered to fall into doubts about that to 
which we have an inward witness in our-
selves.—Archbishop _York. 
HASTEN SLOWLY. 
Keep cool; don't hurry. Too much hurry, 
high pressure rate of speed in all things, 
is the bane of our American life. We walk, 
work, eat, drink and sleep altogether too 
fast. We go through life with a rush, and 
hardly take time to die and be buried quietly. 
Our businegs men are "driven to death ;" our 
ladies are worked into a condition of constant 
neuralgia and nervous headache; our young 
people whirl along the giddy course of pleas-
ure and dissipation like jockeys riding a 
steeple-chase; our very children have no 
time to be careless, and happy and natural, 
they have week-day schools, and Sabbath 
schools, and public exhibitions, and monthly 
concerts, and all sorts -of shows and parades, 
to be studied, and dressed and practiced for, 
till the poor little creatures are as hurried 
and worn, and harrassed as their elders. 
-We say that ours is a fast age, and we say 
it as if we thought it sometimes especially 
meritorious, and desirable that it should be 
so. This is a fatal mistake. The speed at 
which we live, inT7olves a featful waste of 
vital forces, a shortening of the actual term 
of life, and a narrowing of the range if our 
enjoyments and our usefulness, as needless as 
it is wicked. It is a mistake to suppose that 
the pleasures or the duties of an average 
term of life can be crowded into a few brief 
feverish years, that the powers and capacities 
with which the Creator has endowed us, 
were intended to be burned up in this way. 
A man has no right to bring all his powers, 
all his thoughts and all his time as a sacrifice 
REMARKS.—In illustration of the closing 
part of the foregoing paragraph, we relate 
the following incident just related to us by 
the person whose experience it is. 
"I lived in sin and indifference to religion 
until I was thirty-eight years of age. I had 
read religious works and knew the arguments. 
on Christian doctrines, but had no faith in 
them. At one time, while at a meeting some 
miles from home, a lady spoke, and, in her 
remarks, referred to some who were trusting 
in their . self-righteousness, thinking they 
were as good or better than their neighbors 
who professed religion. I thought she in-
tended it for me, and was not disposed to 
take it. When she had done I arose and 
stated to the meeting my state of mind and 
unbelief in Christianity, and that, if' there 
was such a thing, I wished to know it, and, 
as a candid man, I would use every means 
to determine the question. I went home, 
and began duly to study the Bible and to 
pray. I went to every person with whom I 
hind difficulty, and made full reconciliation. 
This I continued to do for eleven days with 
no change of feeling. After those days I rea-
soned thus : I have now tried faithfully for 
eleven days to find religion, but entirely 
without success. I will now read the Bible 
and pray once more after breakfast; and 
then, if no change occurs, I will give it up. 
I laid my Bible on the table, and sat down 
to breakfast. While sitting there, these words 
THE OATH OF CHRIST. 
Despairing of witnesses and not being able 
to provoke a remark, time high priest put Je-
sus under oath to testify for himself on the 
point. He said, "I adjure thee by the living 
God that thou tell us whether thou be the 
Christ, the Son of God ?" To this oath Je-
sus responded, "Thou sayest it." And on 
this the high priest rent his clothes and said, 
"You have heard his blasphemy. What need 
have we of further witness? And they said 
he is guilty of death." 
THE BILL ON WHICH HE WAS TRIED. 
The counsel led Jesus to Pilate for trial, 
and presented this bill. "We found this man 
perverting the nation, forbiding to give trib-
ute to Cassar, and saying that himself is 
Christ, a king." 
In this charge of perverting the nation, 
there are two counts. 1. "Forbiding to give 
tribute to Cxsar." 2. "Saying that himself 
is Christ, a King." And on this charge, Je-
sus went to trial,. 
HIS PLEA TO THE CHARGE. 
When brought before Pilate, the governor 
asked, "Art thou the King of the Jews ?" 
He answered, "Thou sayest it." Thus he 
plead the truth in justification. 
"Thou sayest it," was among the Hebrews 
PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S MOTHER.—It would 
be interesting to know more of President 
Lincoln's mother, and of the influence she 
undoubtedly had in guiding the mind of the 
youthful pioneer. But we never shall ; near-
ly all that remains to us of her brief biogra-
phy is, that she taught her son to read the 
Bible. Near the village of Gentryville, Spen-
cer co., Indiana, is her grave, a modest grass-
covered mound, without-headstone or monu-
ment. A few weeks before his tragic death, 
the President expressed his intention in a 
letter to a friend, to visit the locality and 
erect a suitable memorial over the grave. A 
paper, in commenting on this fact, remarks, 
"he was not pertnitted to fulfill his desire. 
No and yes. He raised no monument of 
marble to that saered memory, but his life 
ries, doing a business of $2,100,000 per year ; 
fifteen window-glass factories, averaging 
400,000 boxes of glass per year, worth 
$2,600,000; and fifteen flint-glass factories, 
doing an annual business of $2,000,000. To-
tal value of their business nearly $7,000,000. 
ITALY AND THE rom 
The fate of the temporal power of the 
Pope will chiefly be decided by the senti-
ments of the government and the people of 
Italy. If they are and remain determined 
upon putting an end to it, it will not be saved 
by the selfish and fanatical policy of other 
Catholic powers, like France and Spain. 
Among all the contests, therefore, which the 
Church of Rome, without ceasing, is carrying 
on with the secular governments, none 
awakens a more profound and more univer-
sal interest than those with Italy. 
The progressive part of Italy, and the 
friends of civil and religious liberty all over 
the world, who sympathize with it, viewed 
with some alarm the opening of negotiations 
between the government of Victor Emman-
uel and the Pope. It was feared that the 
hope of restoring peace between Church and 
State might induce the Italian government 
to make compromises respecting the present 
dominions of the Pope, which would destroy 
the nation's hope of the ultimate annexation 
of Rome. 
The fears of the Italian nation have for-
tunately proved to be groundless. The 
Italian government, it is true, was very anx-
ious to establish peace with the head of the 
Roman Catholic Church. Its special envoy, 
Signor Vegezzi, was instructed to show the 
most conciliatory spirit, and only to guard 
against making any concessions which would 
imply the negation de facto of the existence 
of the kingdom of Italy. The government 
was of opinion that the court of Rome, if it 
really wanted the establishment of amicable 
relations, could at least not refuse to grant 
to Italy the minimum of the rights and 
powers conceded to all the other Catholic 
governments of the world. It demanded, 
therefore, in particular, the submission of the 
papal bulls to the royal exequatur, and the 
oath of allegiance from the bishops. When 
the Papal court persisted in refusing these 
demands, the negotiations were broken off 
and the envoy recalled from Rome. 
This issue of the negotiations between 
Italy and Rome has dispelled many fears 
and raised great hopes for the future. The 
Italian government has hastened to lay be-
fore the world, in the form of a report, ad-
dressed by the Minister La Marmora to the 
King, a full and official narrative of the 
whole of the negotiations. At the close of 
this report the minister says—and the gov-
ernment by publishing the report endorses 
the sentiment—that the day is perhaps not 
far distant "when the so-much desired sepa-
ration of Church and State will bring with 
it the complete separation of religious and 
spiritual from civil interests, to the common 
benefit of both Church and State." Hither-
to none of the larger, governments of Eu-
rope have yet dared to adopt the principle of 
separation between Church and State. The 
example of a powerful State like Italy would 
produce a powerful sensatio.n in Europe, and 
hasten the complete triumph Of one of the 
fundamental principles of American dem-
ocracy.—The Methodist.

thousand of the members have already left 
the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, 
and organized the Holston Conference of the

LINCOLN'S SERMON.—In a sketch of the 
life and character of the late President Lin-
coln, the following is given as a short sermon 
which he was in the habit of preaching to 
his children : "Don't drink ; don't smoke; 
don't chew ; don't swear ; don't gamble 
don't lie ; don't cheat. Love your fellow-
man as well as God. Love truth. Love 
virtue, and be happy."

Our Minister at Constantinople officially 
informs the government that the cholera con-
tinues to extend its ravages, and says that 
had the proper quarantine regulations been 
enforced at first, the introduction of the dis-
ease from Egypt might have been prevented. 
It seems to him from the experience at 
Constantinople, that it would be advisable 
in the United States to guard against it by 
most rigid quarantine regulations.

The Practical Bearings which these 
important truths should have upon our Lives 
and Characters. ELD. I. H. SHIPMAN. 
The following questions, among others, 
will be presented for consideration during 
Conference : 
Should the doctrine of Christ's coming, 
and kindred truths, be considered of vital im-
portance ? 
What steps should be immediately taken 
by us to bring the faith we cherish more 
directly to the attention of the Church and 
world? 
Are our churches and brethren, meet-
ing the requirements of the New Testament, 
on the subject of systematic benevolence ? 
Are the ministers among us justified in 
secularizing the ministry, to the extent many 
are doing 
What can be done to render our Sab-
bath schools more efficient ? 
Are we fully comprehending, and per-
forming our duty as a people, to the Freed-
men of the South ? 
a slave. In the winter of 1863, Dr. Lee 
hired him out to the rebel Post Quartermas-
ter at Jonesboro', Tenn. After remaining 
eight or ten months, he attempted to escape 
to the lines of the National forces. He got 
twenty miles away, but was captured and 
taken back, when this rebel quartermaster 
took him to Surgeon Williams, in charge of 
the rebel hospital there, and ordered him to 
cut' off his feet and hands, to prevent, as he 
said, his attempting to rim away again. The 
doctor partially complied, amputating both 
legs just above the ankle. He left the stumps 
undressed over night, but finding him alive 
the next day, said : "What, you nigger ! are 
you alive yet ? I intend to kill you !" He 
then had him placed in an ambulance and 
taken to the but of an old colored man, 
where he remained until our troops occupied 
the place. This colored man brings vouchers 
from white people corroborative of his state-
ments, which are believed by officers of the 
Bureau. 
came into my mind. 'The wind bloweth 
where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound 
thereof; but carat not tell whence it cometh 
nor whither it goeth. So is every one that 
is born of the Spirit.' Fhe words took hold 
of me, settled down into my heart, and seemed 
to renovate my whole being. Every doubt 
on the sullied of God or religion vanished, 
and a happier mon never lived than I was." 
Such in brief is the narrative of one who 
for thirty-eight years had never before been 
heard to acknowledge his faith either in the 
Bible or in God. And since that moment, 
no doubt has ever entered his mind in re-
spect to either. No one can ever thus sin-
cerely seek God, and not find him ; for his 
promise is: "In the day thou seekest me 
with all thy heart, I will be found of thee." 
Reader, if you are without God in the 
world, go thou and do likewise.

THE IMPRISONED CONSPIRATORS.—The 
steamer that took the conspirr.tors to the 
Dry Tortugas has returned. The prisoners 
were landed on the 25th ult. When in-
formed of their destination they were quite 
depressed ; but on finding a good sea-breeze 
there, and the place pleasanter than antici-
pated, they were more resigned. Mudd was 
assigned to duty as Assistant Surgeon, Ar-
nold a clerkship, Spangler as carpenter, and 
O'Laughlin was given employment at what 
he was fitted tor. These prisoners have all 
confessed participation in the conspiracy 
either before or after the fact, and fully vin-
dicate the court in their punishment. There 
are about 500 prisoners there. 
 
UNITED STATES CHRISTIAN COMMISSION. 
—We are glad to learn that the United 
States Christian Commission is about to pub-
lish a history of its formation, as well as a 
collection of authentic and valuable informa-
tion. Such a memorial will, undoubtedly, 
prove to be the most interestiug volume the 
American people could wish for. It will be 
a treasure in every household. The millions 
who are grateful for the services of this com-
mission in the past, will look upon the pub-
lication of its worthy deeds as a true evi-
dence of its benign spirit to work for the 
common good of the American people. We 
will hail such a record with joy, and call the 
attention of our readers to the further partic-
ulars in another column.—The Methodist.

DELIRIUM TREMENS 
CHURCH GAMBLING.—III strolling through 
the fair at Chicago, we were pained and hu-
miliated by the prescence of a practice which 
is so fearfully demoralizing. to our people, 
saint and sinner. "Raffling here," stared 
out shamelessly from maoy a point, even 
over the booth of one of the prominent re-
ligious denominations of the country. Thus 
the Demon of chance—the deadly mania of 
gambling—had marched out and up from the 
common saloon or hidden den, and taken- a 
place by the noblest and grandest charities 
of the pious and patriotic in behalf of our 
heroes. The words impinged on the feelings 
with a sharp, unpleasant sensation, and we 
could see every professed gambler in the land 
while grateful for such endorsement of an 
outlawed practice, smiling in mockery over 
the glaring inconsistency. "Raffling here !" 
And so it was, years ago, at general parades, 
and it needed but the dice-board, the dirty 
pack of cards to make the illusion complete. 
"Raffling here! So it is at turky shoots, 
and could such an affair have been added 
for the benefit of the soldiers of course, the 
ashamed looking fowls, and the ring of pen-
nies in seedy hats, many might have beeu in-
duced so venture a dime, who dared not risk 
$5,00 in a "grand piano," etc. And why 
not, pray, have had a regular gambler's 
"booth" where "professional" gentlemen could 
have enjoyed"old, sledge," "poker," "brag," 
"euchre," and thus have enabled good people 
who wished to help themselves, to toss in a 
mite to the fair ? Can those who justify and 
engage in modern and more fashionable gam-
bling—"gift enterprises" if you please—tell 
us the real diffimence between gambling with 
cards and bits of paper drawn from a hat by 
some piously inclined Christian gentleman ? 
— Wisconsin Chief. 
Let all young men, moderate drinkers, 
read the following, and learn : 
It has sometimes occurred to me that the 
exhibitions of agony we sometimes see in 
persons tortured by delirium trememis, should 
be interpreted not so much as the results of 
bodily disease as the signs of the capacities 
both of body and soul—especially the latter—
for sr ontaneous self-organizing sufferings. 
I saw a man once in this condition. He 
was a man of great strength, and had he 
been temperate he might have lived a cen-
tury. There seemed no part of him un-
sound ; and, as if to aid him in his defiance 
of the dreaded delirium, lie had an immense 
chest. He would drink great draughts of 
rum and riot stagger. He had been warned 
of his danger, but refused the warning. At 
last his destruction came as with the whirl-
wind. Distress and anguish came upon him. 
All anodynes were powerless to quiet his 
nerves ; and so dreadful was his suffering 
that it could have scarcely been greater had 
he been tortured with fire. The reptiles 
and fiends which crawled over bins and 
mocked him, to him seemed real. At last 
lie rose in his bed with a terrific shriek and 
fell back dead. 
His last expression was, "I see the devil !" 
His boon companions were frightened away 
from his bedside, and not one of them had 
courage to see him buried. 
Now, shall we call this disease and shat-
tered nerves ? or shall we affirm that such a 
man shows how much material there is in 
his body and soul with which to kindle and 
feed suffering ? Inpart to such a man immor-
tality, and what less than hell have you for 
him ? I believe there is a place called hell, 
and such facts as I have just referred to, 
make me sure that there is a condition of 
being in a sinner " let alone" of God's mercy, 
which may be aptly called hell also.—By 
Pres. Tuttle of Crawfordsville.

A NEW ART. 
Photography has in Paris just giVen birth 
to what must be considered a new art. It is 
called by its inventor, M. Willeme, "photo-
sculpture." It is a method of preparing, 
with the minute accuracy of photography, 
busts of living persons in. plaster. Some 
specimens exhibited on Regent Street, in this 
city, within the last few days have created 
quite a sensation. M. Claudet, the London 
agent, explains the process as follows : The 
person whose bust or statue is to be taken, 
is placed in the centre of a circular apart-
ment forty feet in diameter, and twenty-four 
camera obscura are placed along the wall at 
equal distances from him and from each 
other. By means of a latch, which _ raises 
and drops the slides simultaneously, twenty-
four photographs of the many-sided sitter 
are taken at once ; there being six front, six 
back, and twelve side views. The negative 
of one of the portraits is then placed in a 
magic lantern, and the image it holds project-
ed upon a large sheet of rough glass. The 
block of clay is then placed on a revolving 
stand, the circumference of which is divided 
into twenty-four parts. A pantograph is then 
employed, by which the clay is cut to exact-
ly represent the outline on the glass. When 
one photagraph is copied, the image of the 
next is placed in time lantern, and the clay is 
turned round one twenty-fourth of the circle. 
The result is, that the block of clay exhibits 
twenty-four sides or faces, representing the 
twenty-four photographs. The bust then 
only needs a little finishing and polishing to 
be quite perfect.—Lon. Cor. Round Table.

A PEOPLE OP WHOM GOD IS NOT 
ASHAMED. 
AN ODD WAY OF PAYING WAGES.—III 
the Norwegian mines a singular custom is 
observed in paying the weekly wages of men. 
They all present themselves on Saturday 
evening to the Inspector, who, having settled 
accounts with each, bids him turn round, and 
writes hi white chalk upon his black back 
the sum clue to him. Thus numbered, the 
man goes to the cashier, who also turns him 
round to look at the figures, and pays him, 
without having a word to say.

sleep. But be glad, 0 Italy, that this de-
grading and vulgar vice finds no place or 
favor save among the poorest arid most ig-
norant of your people! 
A Swiss physician of very high standing 
residing in the Canton de Vaud, told us that 
throughout that region, with the culture of 
the vine had come the curse of drunkenness, 
and that a most lamentable increase of sin 
and sickness had been the result. Two most 
excellent and widely known pastors of the 
Vaudois Church gave a similar testimony.

HE IS A CHRISTIAN. 
He is a Christian ! Then he is a man of 
truth. Upon his word you may implicitly 
rely. His promises are faithfully fulfilled. 
His representations he believes to be scrupu-
lously exact. He would not hazard his ve-
racity upon a contingency. "He that speak-
eth truth sheweth forth righteousness." 
He is a Christian ! Then he is an honest 
man. He had rather wrong himself than 
wrong his neighbor. In whatever business 
he may be engaged, you may be sure that his 
dealings will be honorable and upright. 
"Provide things honest in the sight of all 
men." "The way of the just is uprightness." 
He is a Christian ! Then he is an hum-
ble man. He thinks of his own infirmities, 
acknowledges his dependence upon God, and 
regards the wealthiest and poorest of his 
brethren as men, and worthy of his Redeem-
er's love, and worthy of his attention and in-
terest. "God. giveth grace to the humble." 
"He that humbleth himself shall be exalted." 
He is a Christian ! Then he is a kind 
man. He feels interested for his neighbors, 
and has ever a pleasant word for those he 
meets. He strives to promote the welfare 
and happiness of those with whom he is as- 
sociated. His generous heart delights in 
diffusing enjoyment. "The law of kindness 
is in his tongue." "To godliness add broth-
erly kindness." 
He is a Christian ! Then be is charitable. 
He is prompt to attribute right motives to 
others rather than wrong, wherever it is pos- 
sible. Knowing his own liability to err, he 
will regard with a charitable heart the fail- 
ures, and will be more ready to reclaim and 
restore than to censure them. "Bear ye one 
another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of 
Christ." "Charity suffereth long, and is 
kind." 
He is a Christian ! Then he is forgiving. 
Wrong does not rankle in his heart, craving 
for revenge. The forgiving word is ready 
upon his lip for his most implacable enemy. 
"If ye forgive riot men their trespasses, 
neither will your Heavenly Father forgive 
your trespasses." "Even as Christ forgave 
you, so also do ye." 
He is a Christian ! Then lie is benevo-
lent. He feeds the hungry, clothes the naked, 
ministers to the sick. Human distresses 
touch his heart and open his hand. The 
spiritual maladies of mankind excite his com- 
miseration, and to relieve and remove them 
his influence and property will be cheerfully 
contributed. "Freely ye have received, freely 
give." •'Whoso bath this world's goods, and 
seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up 
his bowels of compassion from him, how 
dwelleth the love of God in him ?"

LINCOLN AT HOME. 
In addition to this business integrity, he 
was extremely humorous, sociable, and agree-
able, becoming everybody's friend and no-
body's enemy. By these qualities people 
came to know him thoroughly. He was tak-
en into every man's house, as one of his own 
household. From his nature, honesty, puri-
ty, etc., people termed him "honest Abe." 
When he first came to Springfield, be was 
extremely poor; having not a shilling in his 
pocket, and with but a very scanty ward-
robe. He would stop a while with one, and 
then with another, going from neighbor to 
neighbor, all esteeming it a favor to have 
him in their houses. At that time he had 
read well and thoroughly everything lie had 
touched, including the Bible and Shake-
speare, which were his leading books at the 
time of his death. He was, said Mr. Heriss 
don, a good biblical scholar. When he was 
twenty-three years of age he had read his-
tory and biography considerably, and lie 
mastered Burns when he was twenty-five. 
He never, while engaged in his profession, 
accumulated much property. Fie seemed to 
not have had much care to gather wealth. 
When he did a service professionally, he 
would charge accordingly as he estimated the 
value of the work done, and not according 
to the standard of other men's fees. If lie 
regarded a service worth it dollar, lie charged 
only that, although other men might charge 
twenty dollars for doing the same thing. 
His strict fidelity to principle was illus-
trated by his partner by the following inci-
dent. lie said when Mr. Lincoln collected 
any money belonging to the firm, he would 
always take half the amount received, and 
fold up the other half, write upon it the word 
"Billy" (the name he familiarly called his 
partner), and lay it away ha his pocket-book. 
One time Mr. Herndon said to him : 
"Why do you do that ? Why not take 
the whole of the money and use it ?" 
"Because," said Lincoln, "I promised my 
mother never to use anybody's money. 
Should anything happen to me, that money 
would be known to be'yours.—Cor. of the 
Methodist.

AN ASTRONOMER'S PRAYER. 
THE CYNIC. 
The cynic is one who never sees a good 
quality in a man, and never fails to see a bad. 
He is the human owl, vigilant in darkness, 
and blind to light, mousing for vermin, and 
never seeing noble game. The cynic puts 
all human actions into only two classes—
openly bad and secretly bad. All virtue and 
generosity, and disinterestedness are merely 
the appearance of good, but selfish at the 
bottom. He holds that no man does a good 
thing except for profit. The effect of his 
conversation upon your feelings is to chill 
and sear them ; to send you away sour and 
morose. His criticisms and inuendos fall in-
discriminately upon every lovely thing, like 
frost upon flowers. If a man is said to be 
pure and chaste, he answers, Yes, in the day 
time. If a woman is pronounced virtuous, 
lie will reply : Yes, as yet. Mr. A. is re-
ligious : Yes, on Sundays. Mr. B. has just 
joined the church ; Certainly, the elections 
are coming on. The minister of the gospel 
is called an example of diligence : It is his 
trade. Such a man is generous : Of other 
men's money. That man is obliging : To 
lull suspicion and cheat you. This man is 
upright ; Because he is green. Thus his eye 
strains out every good quality, and takes in 
only the bad,—as the vulture, when in the 
highest heaven, will sail by living flocks and 
herds, but comes likes an arrow down upon 
the smallest carcass. To him religion is hp: 
pocrisy, honesty a preparation for fraud, 
virtue only want of opportunity, and unde-
niable purity, asceticism. The live-long day 
he will coolly sit with sneering lip, uttering 
sharp speechas in the quietest manner, and 
in polished phrase, transfixing every charac-
ter which is presented : "His words are softer 
than oil, yet are they drawn swords." Ps. 
55: 21. All this to the young, seems a 
wonderful knowledge of human nature ; they 
honor a man who appears to have found out 
mankind. They begin to indulge themselves 
in flippant sneers ; arid with supercilious 
brow, and impudent tongue, wagging to an 
empt) brain, call to naught the wise, the 
long-tried, and the venerable.—H. W. Beecher. 
Dear Bro. Litch was very sorry to 
hear of the loss of our dear Brethren have 
sustained in the burning of the Chapel and 
school-room, but. I hope by the blessing of 
God means will be raised to have them re-
build speedily. It is a great work, and its 
enemies will not be permitted to triumph. 
I hope the hearts of all the waiting ones will 
be influenced by the Spirit of God to give 
all they can spare toward this cause, and 
soon have their reward. God bless the la-
bors of our brethren, and spare their useful 
lives. 
I cannot give much to this good cause, but 
I assure you they have my sincere prayers. 
Enclosed please find one dollar and twenty 
cents from me, and twenty-five cents front 
my daughter Mary. Your sister in Christ,

A Commission has been appointed by the 
President, consisting of D. N. Cooley, Com-
missioner of Indian Affairs, Judge Edmonds 
of the General Land Office, and Elijah Sells, 
Superintendent of Indian Affairs for the 
Southwest, to meet delegates from the vari-
ous Indian tribes lately in rebellion, on the 
first of September, at Fort Gibson. It is 
hoped that this meeting will result in a new 
treaty and the formation of more friendly re-
lations with these tribes, whose hostility has 
been causing considerable apprehension. 
TILE CONGREGATIONAL BUILDING IN 
BOSTON.—The Congregationalists have en-
tered upon the work of raising $100,000 to 
erect a Congregational Building in this city, 
which shall be a centre and home for all 
Congregationalists visiting Boston, a place 
of deposit for the valuable library of the 
Congregational Library Association, and for 
all papers and documents of value relating to 
the denomination. 
We like the spirit exhibited by this short 
letter. Too many neglect giving because 
they have not much to give, arid thus the 
cause loses much valuable assistance. There 
should be no such feeling as this. It should 
be remembered that it is by the accumula-
tion of small amounts that such enterprises 
are generally pushed forward. What God 
requires of us is, that we should do to the 
utmost of our ability, as he has blessed us, 
and his smile and favor will rest upon our 
offering, be it great or small. 
We trust there will be no hanging back, 
but that all, whether able to contribute 
amounts large or small, will see the necessity 
of pushing forward this glorious work, and 
of rendering it material aid speedily. V. 
SYMPATHY FOR MEXICO.—A meeting in 
honor of the Mexican Republic was held in 
New York, on the 3d inst. An extract from 
a letter said to be from Gen. Sheridan was 
read, in which he said we should give a per-
manent government to Mexico. "Our work 
in crushing the rebellion will not he done un-
till this takes place. The advent of Maxilla-
iau was a portion or the rebellion and his fall 
should belong to its history." On the 3d 
inst. the Mexican Minister at Washington re-
ceived ninety-four letters from offcers who 
served in the Union army through the late 
rebellion, tendering their services to the Lib-
eral government of Mexico.

MUTUAL DEPENDENCE. 
We enter upon life as weak, unconscious 
infants ; dependent every moment on other 
eyes to watch for us, and other hands to min-
ister to us, while we kindle in their hearts 
the most powerful emotions, and unconscious-
ly react upon them for joy or sorrow. We 
are not less dependent on our fellow-crea-
tures for our continuance in life, from the 
cradle to the grave. There is not a shred of 
clothing which covers our body, not a luxury 
which is placed on our table, not an article 
which supplies the means of labor, not one 
thing which is required by us as civilized be-
ings, but involves the labor and sacrifices of 
others on our behalf ; while by the same law, 
we cannot choose but contribute to their 
well-being. The cotton which the artizan 
weaves or wears, has been cultivated by 
brothers beneath a tropical sun, and possibly 
beneath a tyrant's lash. The tea lie drinks 
has been gathered for him by brothers on the 
unknown hill-sides of distant China. The 
oil that lights his lamp has been fetched for 
him out of the depths of the Arctic seas by 
his sailor-brothers ; and the coal which feeds 
his tire has been dug out by swarthy breth-
ren, who have been picking and heaving for 
him amidst the darkness and dangers of the 
mine. If the poorest mother writes a letter 
to her son in some distant spot in India, and 
puts it into the window-slit of a village post-
office, without a word being spoken, how 
much is done for her before that letter reach-
es its destination ? The hands of unknown 
brethren will receive it, and transmit it ; 
rapid trains will hurry it over leagues of 
railways ; splendid steamships will sail with 
it from port to port, frown land to land. It is 
watched day and night through calm and 
hurricane, and precious lives are risked to 
keep it in security, until in silence and in 
safety, after months of travel, it is delivered 
from the mother's hand into the hand of her 
child.—Parish Papers. 
CARPETINGS, 
A correspondent of the Episcopal Recor-
der, written from Italy, gives the following 
view, whiCh differs somewhat from the opin-
ion commonly entertained in regard to the 
use of wine in that country : 
Englishmen, accustomed to the fiery wines 
and liquors used in their own cold and damp 
country, find themselves able to drink large 
quantities of Italian wines without intoxica-
tion, and therefore declare them harmless. 
Americans gladly believe this, and moreover, 
that it is all right and according to native cus-
tom to drink them clear and by the pint ; while 
in truth the natives themselves stand aghast 
at the amount more or less safely imbibed by 
American and British tourists. 
Drunkeness is a vice almost unknown 
among Italian gentlemen. One who is once 
seen drunk is forever them eafter disgraced, 
and is shunned by his acquaintances. We 
wish that this were the case on this side of 
the Atlantic! We are sure that this vile 
vice, which meets us at every step, will never 
be arrested until a stern, strong, outspoken 
public opinion shall be brought to bear 
against it. When will this be ? When 
Christian men and Christian women are 
ready to speak and to act according to their 
responsibilities and not before. 
Italian gentlemen almost invariably drink 
their wine mixed with water, and we have 
never seen one take more than a very small 
tumbler full at any one meal ; but we cannot 
say the same of the Italian peasant, whether 
he be a resident of the city or of the coun-
try. 
We have heard Americans earnestly de-
claring that "nobody gets drunk in Italy, or 
in any country where wine takes the place 
of stronger liquors." Now we have sifted 
this matter thoroughly, both in Switzerland 
and in Italy, and are bound to deny the as-
sertion. The Italian laborer rarely begins 
his potations until his day's work is done ; 
consequently travelers see and know very 
little of the extent of them. They carouse 
from about sundown to ten, eleven, or twelve 
o'clock at night. Their money spent, or 
midnight come, they reel to their wretched 
homes; and the cries of their children, and 
the groans of their wives, soon tell of the 
fury and brutality which mark the drunkard 
the world over, whether he wear homespun 
or broadcloth. During a few years of resi-
dence in Italy, our household was served at 
different times by some eleven men and 
women servants. Four of this number were 
occasionally more or less useless to us from 
the effect of too much wine, and four of the 
remaining seven had their homes made 
miserable from the same cause. 
We soon proved the truth of this state-
ment to our full satisfaction, for if our wine-
closet were by any accident left open, our 
servants were soon quarrelsome, and would 
only be fitted to resume work by a night's

"God is not ashamed to be called their God ; for he 
hath prepared for them a city."—Heb. 11 : 16. 
Christians are God's representatives in 
this world, and his honor is intrusted to their 
keeping. The intelligent universe forms 
and must form its opinions of the Creator 
from his works. Man, the noblest of them 
all, has betrayed his trust, and dishonored 
his Maker. Should the universe form its 
notions of God from our sinful, selfish ca-
reer, it would think lightly of his wisdom 
and purity and benevolence. 
God has a peculiar people, of whom he is 
not ashamed. They are lights,—cities on 
the hill-top ; they bear his image, and they 
"are spectacles to men and angels." They 
represent God. They are Christ's agents 
and ambassadors. He is never so honored 
as by those who do most good. The piety 
of the heart is not enough fbr his purpose ; 
it cannot be seen if it proceed not to do good 
works. He is the sphere and medium of 
manifestation. Men who "see our good 
works glorify God." The infidel must ad-
mit that this is religion, pure and undefiled, 
"to visit the widow and tne fatherless in 
their affliction,"—to. clothe the noked, feed 
the hungry, teach the ignorant, train the 
rising generation to knowledge and holiness. 
God expects us to honor him in this way. 
We are false to his honor if we do not. The 
man who "according to what lie bath," does 
most,—most honors God. He will have us 
"abound in the work of the Lord ; rich in 
good works," "bringing forth much fruit."

Passing away, to return nevermore.

IMMEDIATELY AT LAND. 
"I think I'll soon be at land now. It 
seems to me 1 hear his step on the wa- 
ter at nights. I suppose he comes for 
other people in the village. But some 
night soon he'll be coming for me. And 
I'll receive him willingly, like the dis-
ciples that night, so willingly, and then 
immediately I will be at land, at land 
at last, forever." 
Gracie looked far out to sea as she 
spoke, and the sun shone on her fair 
hair. 
"You might read about that night 
again. I like to hear it over and over. 
Read it from my little old Bible, you'll 
find the mark at the place." 
I took the Bible, and it opened at 
John 6th. One verse was underlined,. 
and a date was written against it, in a 
school-girl's hand-Gracie's hand. 
"Then they willingly received him 
into the ship, and immediately the ship 
was at land, whither they went." 
"Isn't it beautiful !" said Gracie, her 
eyes shining; "just the moment they re-
ceived Jesus on board, they were at 
land. But do read it all." 
I read the account of how Jesus de-
parted to a mountain alone to pray; 
how the disciples were tossed on the sea 
with contrary winds, and it was now 
dark, and Jesus was not come unto 
them; and then of his coming; and how 
when they willingly received him, im-
mediately they were at land. And, as 
I closed the book, I added, "Then are 
they glad, because they be quiet., so he 
bringeth them to their desired haven." 
"Yes, yes," said Gracie eagerly, "so 
he bringeth them. I mustn't .be afraid ; 
so he will bring me. it doesn't seem 
dreadful, does it? Just Jesus coming, 
and our willingly receiving him, and 
then, at once,-and-----heaven. Even so, 
come, Lord Jesus." 
Then, putting her arm around rue, as 
I knelt beside her sofa, Gracie went on 
more calmly,-"That has come true to 
me once before in another way. Do you 
remember just after-after mamma died, 
how unhappy I was? it .wasn't only 
that I was grieving after her. But I felt 
as if she was quite lost to me, gone to a 
place where I could` neVer go. And all 
the light and Sweetness she had when

The clock struck time before her task 
was over, but the hearty "thank you, 
daughter, a thousand times," took awr.:y 
all sense of weariness. 
"It's rather looking up, when a man 
can have an amanuensis," said the fath- 
er. "It is not every farmer that can af- 
ford it." 
"Nor every farmer's daughter that is 
capable of making one," said mother, 
with a little pardonable pride. 
"Nor every one that would be will-
ing if they were able," said Mr. Wilber 
-which last was a sad truth. How 
many daughters might be of use to their 
fathers in this and many other ways, 
who never think of lightening a care of 
labor. If asked to perform some little 
service, it is done at best with a reluct-
ant step and unwilling air which robs 
it of all sunshine or claim to gratitude. 
Girl, help. your father; give him a 
cheerful home to rest in when evening 
comes, and do not worry his life away 
by fretting because he cannot afford you 
the luxuries you covet, or consent to 
your desires when in his mature judg-
ment they are neither wise nor prudent. 
Such a home atmosphere tends more 
than anything else to produce a hard, 
morose character, which must ever 
make old age unlovely and uncomfort-
able. Children exert as great an influ-
ence on their parents as parents do on 
their children. 
"And that you remember the words of the Lord 
Jesus Christ, how he said, It is more blessed to 
give than to receive."-Acts 20: 3.5. 
she was dying, showed me what I had 
missed by neglecting Jesus. She will 
never pray for me again, I thought, and 
I'm sure .1 never can come good without 
her; I did feel so lonely, and at sea." 
"My poor little Gracie," I said invol-
untarily, as her words recalled to me the 
woeful look her fair, pale face had worn 
for months, after her mother's death. 
She gave a faint smile, and went on. 
"Then one Sunday at last, when Uncle 
John was preaching about, 'He came 
unto his own, and his own received him 
not,' such a light broke in on me; and 
I do believe God helped me that day to 
receive Christ to be all, and do all for 
me. At the close of the sermon, Uncle 
John said, 'There was a wild, stormy 
night once, on the sea of Galilee. A com-
pany of terrified men were tossed up 
and down there in a small boat. It was 
dark, and tempestuous. • Suddenly, over 
the sea, One came to them; and it is 
Written that they willingly received Je-
sus. When poor souls are tossing on 
the water of God's wrath, and it is now 
dark, how willingly, When Christ re-
veals himself, they receive him.' Then 
such thoughts of him came over my 
heart, and I said to myself, he is come 
to me in this sermon. I will receive him. 
Lord Jesus, I willingly receive thee. 
Then, oh, what a peace and quietness 
came to me! I seemed to have reached 
such a sure „dwelling-place. It was the 
second half of the verse coming true, 
immediately I was at land." 
"And was that Sabbath-day .the date 
beside that verse ?" I asked, after a lit-
tle pause.• 
"Yes; and how I've thought and 
thought of it since. You know I used 
always to like sea-verses, long ago when 
we were at school. And then, when I've 
been away so much with papa, in the 
yacht, I've thought at night of all the 
verses that speak of the sea, over and 
over. I used to have such ideas about

being far at sea, into the sharp, short 
cry of a dying sinner for mercy. 
I repeated slowly, "The blood of Je-
sus Christ, his Son, cleanseth from all 
sin." 
She smiled, as the words reached her; 
"From all sin, from all sin. And that's 
how he can bring us to the desired hav- 
en. Its a good while now since I laid 
my sins on Jesus ; but I think some one 
war tempting me just now. You see, 
with being at sea again, and going to 
land soon, I get a little confused." She 
was wandering back to her old idea now. 
"You remember about the disciples, 
that night? Jesus Christ is coming for 
me now, over the water. It doesn't mat-
ter being so dark. I'm sure to see him. 
It's been only a little bit of a voyage 
after all, you see. When he comes into 
the ship, immediately we'll be at land. 
Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly." 
She was speaking now as if we were 
all nearing the good land together. We 
heard her speak, and felt, somewhat 
drearily, that we should still be outside, 
perhaps long after Gracie was safe in 
her haven. 
A few minutes later she said, "Please 
kiss me now; and then each of you take 
one of my hands, till he comes." 
We each took one of the small, cold 
hands. She lay quite still for a while. 
Then there was a slight movement, and 
she murmured faintly,- 
"Many waters-but Christ is coming 
-Lord Jesus!" 
A bright smile, a little, glad, upward 
movement of the weak hands we held.

arrester of this dypeptic monarch, would be of the 
most invaluable benefit to the world and receive the 
grateful thanks of many thousands of suffering invalids. 
It is true that there are a hundred different kinds of 
bitters asd alcoholic beverages, all recommended as 
splendid tonics, of great medicinal value, and com-
pounded ( f a hundred different barks and roots, pre-
served in ofine old whiskey and New England rum. But 
their chief virtue is to make merry, giddy, and to ex-
hilarate while their effects last, to be followed, like 
the drunkard's cup, by extreme exhaustion and com-
plete prostration. It gives us great pleasure, however, 
to say that within a few short months an article has 
been presented to the public which thus far has proved 
itself entirely adequate to the control and cure of the 
most aggravated cases of Dyspepsia. We refer to 
"Coe's Dyspeptic Cure," an article prepared by C. G. 
Clark, et Co, Druggists and Chemists. at No. 149 State 
St., this city, (New Haven, Conn.,) gentlemen who 
have been long and favorably known to the public as 
proprietors of that world-renowned remedy, known as 
Coe's Cough Balsam, (said to be the cheapest and best 
cough preparation extant.) 
A gentleman called at a drug store in a neighboring 
city, where we chanced to be present, and from whom 
we heard the following conversation. Said he to the 
clerk in charge, "I want two bottles of Coe's Dyspeptic 
Cure. I have had the Dyspepsiafor several years, and 
have tried everything, without help, until some three 
weeks ago, I bought from you a single bottle of this 
Coe's Dyspeptic Cure. It helped me immediately. I 
have gained eight pounds within the time, and have 
had no signs of any Dyspepsia. I consider myself 
cured. But ram going away into a distant State upon 
a visit, and I dare not go without it, and I will take 
two bottles, as some of my relatives may need it. I 
have told several of my neighbors of its wonderful ef-
fects upon myself, and in three instances where they 
have procured it, (and they are the only ones I have 
heard from) their experience has b en the same as 
mine." We did not learn the gentleman's name, but 
these are the facts, in the main, as ktated. 
We do not wish to puff up one article above another, 
nor present it to our readers as superior to all others ; 
undoubtedly all have their merits. But in view of the 
almost miraculous cures it has performed, we deem it 
but a duty we owe ourselves and our readers, that we 
should inform them of its great value, and give them the 
eviaence of our own eyes and ears, and recommend it to 
their careful consideration. If you are in affluent cir-
cumstances you cannot value the cost, which compared 
with p.ofessional visits of physicians, is but as a drop in 
the bueket, while if you are poor and needy, we d ,ubt 
not the Messrs. Clark et Co , will gladly contribute to 
your relief. 
We have used a good portion of our space in discours-
ing upon this one class of disease, but must be indulged, 
as we believe we have met the needs and requirements 
of the largest class of sufferers. But we would not fail 
in this connection to refer to the great danger all are 
subject to at this season of the year ft oni the sudden 
changes of the weather, a snapping, biting cold day, 
and then a mild and pleasant sunshine, to be followed 
perhaps by a driving storm and chilling winds. A 
slight cough, an irritated sore throat, a sudden attack 
of croup upon some of the children, a hacking cough, lay 
the foundation of pulmonary affections which often ter-
minate in consumption and an early grave. Exposure 
should be avoided; going from the heated counting-
room or warm workshop into the open air, there should 
be great care exercised that the body is protected by ad-
ditional clothing, and also be extremely careful aboub 
sitting in a draft of air, especially when in a perspira-
tion. Should you, however, by carelessness or misfor-
tune get "elected" with a cough or cold, or pulmonary 
attack, we know of no article in the world which we 
could recommend as conscientiously over "Coe's Cough 
Balsam," and this calls to mind an "item;" as we were 
passing the warehouse a day or two since where this 
article is prepared, we noticed an immense number of 
boxes bearing the stencil mark, 
"COE'S COUGH BALSAM," 
we remarked to one of the firm, it would really seem 
that the whole world ought to be cured "from the looks 
of this stock of medicine." We learned upon inquiry 
tnat about 5700 bottles of this article were daily packed 
and shipped to nearly every part of the globe, a large 
number of workmen are employed, and the alacrity with 
which the crude materials are converted into Balsam 
and then bottled and packed, is perfectly astonishing. 
Their preparations are sold by nearly every druggist in 
the world. 
Trusting that the views we have expressed upon a sub-
ject near and dear to all of us, (our health,) which in-
volves our greatest happiness, may be found profitable 
and useful to our many readers, and assuring you that if 
any one of you who chance to be afflicted with this mal-
ady, and by the means to which we have directed you, 
find relief, we shall feel most amply repaid for our labor. 
We conclude our essay by the old proverb, "Health is 
wealth." - Be ye therefore careful that ye preserve it.-

A minister, in telling the experience 
of many years ago, mentioned a little 
girl whose heart had been won by the 
Saviour's love. She wished to join the 
church, but her parents thought that. 
she was too young; they preferred that 
she should wait a while. I suppose 
they forgot that Jesus wished little 
children to come to him. After a while, 
however, they gave their consent, and, 
as the custom aof that church was, she 
went to a meeting appointed for those 
who proposed tO join the church. When 
it came her turn to speak of her experi-
ence, the minister asked her kindly if 
she thought she was old enough to love 
the Sa 
"Yes, sir," she replied, "I think I am." 
"And do you love him, then ?" he 
continued. 
"Yes, sir, I do love him." 
"Why do you love hint, my 
child ?'' was the next inquiry. 
She raised her happy face, bathed in 
tears of joy, and quickly answered,- 
"Why, I love him because he first 
loved me and gave himself for me." 
It was enough, and-all oilier children 
who can say as much ought to be 
brought into the fold, that the pastor 
may care for them as well as for the 
older members of his flock. Was it not 
prophesied of Christ that he shall gath-
er the lambs with his arm and carry 
them in his bosom ? Take courage then, 
little one; come near, for Jesus loves 
you. He spreads out his arms to re-
ceive you, and we hope that his pastors 
will not close the fold against you.

Soon after Allston's marriage with his 
first wife, the sister of the late Dr. Chan 
ning, he made his second visit to Eu-
rope. After a residence there of little 
more than a year, his pecuniary wants 
became very pressing and urgent-more 
so than at any other period of his life. 
On one of these occasions, as he himself 
used to narrate the event, he was in his 
studio, reflecting with a feeling of almost 
desperation upon his condition. His

heart, all at once, seemed filled with the 
hope that God would listen to his 
prayers, if he would offer up his direct 
expressions of penitence., and ask for di- 
vine aid. He accordingly locked his 
door, withdrew to a corner of the room, 
threw himself upon his knees, and 
prayed for a loaf of bread for himself 
.and wife. While thus employed a knock 
was heard at the door. A feeling of 
momentary shame at being detected in 
this position, and a feeling of fear lest 
he might have been observed, induced 
him to hasten and open the door. A 
stranger inquired for Mr. Allston. He 
was anxious to learn who was the for-
tunate purchaser of the painting of 
"Angel Uriel," regarded by the artist as 
one of his master-pieces, and which had 
won the prize at the exhibition of the 
academy. He was told that it had not 
been sold. "Can it be possible! Not 
sold ! Where is it to be had ?" "In 
this room. Here it is," producing the 
painting from a corner, and wiping off 
the dust. "It is for sale, but its value 
has never yet, to my idea of its worth, 
been adequately appreciated, and 
I 
would not part with it." "What is its 
price?" "I have done affixing any 
nominal sum. I have always, so far, 
exceeded my offers. I leave it for you 
to name the price." "Will four hun- 
dred pounds be an adequate recom-
pense V "It is more than I have asked 
for it." "Then the painting is mine." 
The stranger introduced himself as the 
Marquis of Stafford; and he became, 
from that moment, one of the warmest 
friends of Mr. Allston. By him Mr. A. 
was introduced to the nobility and gen-
try, and became one of the most favored 
among the many gifted minds that 
adorned the circle in which he was 
never fond of appearing often.

"I remember," said Gracie. "It was 
before mamma died, and I wasn't a 
Christian then; but somehow bits of the 
Bible sounded beautiful to me, in an in-
definite way. You remember we said 
that night that we hoped we should both 
get to 'land' at last. It Seemed a very 
far-off land then ; as if we were going 
forth on a long voyage, and it would be 
acres before the end would conic. It's 
not so far off from one of us, now. It 
has only been a little bit of a voyage for 
me after all, and it's nearly over." 
And then, dreamily, with her quaint 
way of mixing things seen and heard 
with the things which eye cannot see 
nor ear hear, Gracie sang,- 
"Row, brothers, row, 
The _night falls fast ; 
The rapids are near, 
And the daylight's past !" 
"The night falls fast," repeated Gra-
cie softly, "The daylight's nearly gone. 
Christ will be coming over the water 
soon." 
"Two or three weeks passed away, 
and the last day arrived, it was a quiet 
Sabbath evening when he came, for 
whom Gracie had been waiting. She 
lay propped up with pillows, her thin 
cheek a little flushed, and her long fair 
hair pushed back. Her father had been 
reading to her from her own little well-
woin Bible, a few words at a time, as 
she was able to bear it. Now, however, 
she seemed to be drifting away from us. 
When we spoke the words appeared 
scarcely to reach her. We felt as if call-
ing to one at an increasing distance from 
us. 
'1. can scarcely hear, papa dear," she 
said at last ; but I think. I could hear 
you sing, though you are a goed way off 
now. It's getting so dark too, it must 
be time for prayers ; you know we al-
ways have them early at sea. It's very 
dark, and the waves make a noise; but 
do sing, papa. • We must have evening 
prayers." 
Her thoughts were wandering now. 
She fancied herself away at sea again, 
and the darkness was fancy too. The 
afternoon was wearing on, but there was 
still bright sunshine in the room. Her 
father put aside his own grief, and sang 
to his dying girl the first verse- of 
the beautiful evening hymn they had so 
often sung at prayers together. It seemed 
to bear a deep and touching meaning 
now. 
"Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear, 
It is not night if then art near ; 
Oh ! let no earth-born cloud arise, 
To hide thee from thy servant's eyes !" 
"Thank you, papa dear. It's so nice 
to have prayers again at sea. Don't you 
hear the waves against the ship? What 
a deep sound they make ! I never heard 
anything like that sound. It won't be 
a storm, papa, will it? Oh, I hope not, 
I hope not." 
And in a weak, trembling voice, Gra-
cie sang,- 
"Row, brothers, row, 
The night falls fast." 
"How it falls. How dark it is get-
ting. And Jesus still on the shore.

Lucie to serious illness. Some 
it of sickness is creeping 
upon you, and should be 
averted by a timely use of the rig 'it remedy. Take 
Ayer's Pills, and cleanse out; the disordered humors-
purify the blood, and let the fluids move on unob-
structed in health again. They stimulate the func-
tions of the body into vigorous activi y, purify the 
system from the obstructions which make disease. A 
cold settles somewhere in the body, and deranges its 
functions. These, if not relieved, act upon themselves 
and the surrounding organs, producing general agra-
vation, suffering and derangement. While in this con-
dition, take Ayer's Pills, and see how directly they 
restore the natural action of the system, and with it 
the buoyant feeling of health again. What is true 
and so apparent in this trivial and common complaint 
is also true in many of the deep seated and dangerous 
distempers. The same purgative effect expels them. 
Caused by similar obstructions and derangements of 
the natural functions of the body, they are rapidly and 
many of them surely cured by the same means None 
who know the virtue of these Pills will neglect to em-
ploy them when suffering from the disorders they cure, 
such as Headache, Foul Stomach. Dysentery, Bilious 
Complaints, Indigestion, Derangement of the Liver, 
Costiveness, Constipation, Heartburn, Rheumatism, 
Dropsy, Worms and Suppression, when taken in large 
doses. 
They are Sugar-coated, so that the most sensitive 
can take them easily, and they are surely the best 
purgative medicine yet discovered.

sat down "to figure out" some occounts 
that were getting behindhand.

laying down her bright crochet work. 
"I. should be glad to, if I only knew

what I have to do, and it'll be a power-

THOUGHTS ON HEALTH.
