at Joshua. "I tell you, if God speaks to 
you, I want you to mind me first." 
"Master, I minds you as best I can, but I 
must mind my Jesus first." 
This called forth another blow, and then 
the angry master went to the church of 
which lie was a member. Like wicked Bet-
laam, God met and reproved hitn. On his 
way home, he could not contain his convic-
tions, but told his coachman that lie had 
foolishly struck Uncle Joshua. As soon as 
tea was over, he said, "Joshua, will you put 
'the bridle on the horse ?" 
"I will try, master." 
As the bridle was being adjusted, the 
troubled conscience found relief by kindly 
saying, "I struck you this morning, I feel 
sorry. I must never do the like again." 
And he never did. Uncle Joshua is still 
living with the same family, and is a mem-
ber of our Mission Church, amd to-day re-
lated the circumstances on the way home

Fathers and mothers are too busy ; hurry ! 
hurry ! hurry ! If the children keep out of 
their way, and are not an annoyance, no mat-

kind and obliging, peaceable. Now, slander, 
hatred, wrath, strife, are characteristics of 
every community. 
Then, men could transact business without 
fear of being swindled. Now, the most tri-
fling transactions have to be witnessed by a 
third party, or put in writing. Then, mur-
ders were so seldom our whole country was 
shocked at such an occurrence. Now, not a 
day hardly passes, but we read or hear the 
recital of the most brutal murders and out-
rageous crimes. 
Then, ministers were faithful in the work 
of preaching the gospel in its simplicity, 
faithfully pointing out the sins of the people, 
showing the final result of living in sin, and 
urging vehemently the abandonment of the 
same, sowing in tears, reaping in joy. Now, 
hell is too vile a word fbr mealy-mouthed 
hirelings to speak, and the language of the 
Bible too common-place for pulpit oratory.

HURRY! HURRY! HURRY ! 
Oil think of the morn of the Saviour's appearing, 
When man from his slumbers with awe shall behold 
The clouds of the East to the mountain tops nearing, 
All radiant with colors of purple and got', 
While far in the distance the white cloud of glory 
Is speeding its way down the star-spangled dome, 
And trumpets like thunder re-echo the story, 
Ye heirs of salvation ascend to thy home. 
And yet still afar is his throne of dcminion, 
Transcending in splendor the sun's brightest rays, 
While swiftly descending on angelic pinion, 
Mid trumpet and voices of seraphic praise. 
Oh think of the morn of the great consummation, 
Mid scenes so appalling, and yet so sublime, 
When saints oft forgotten by every nation, 
Translated to glory, with Jesus will shine. 
Anti while all above and beneath is commotion, 
Where wave blend with wave until mountains arise, 
Behold from the depths of old coral-bed ocean, 
The saints of all ages ascend to the skies. 
And lo ! from the moss covered tombs of the valley, 
Where once by the hand of the Tyrant was slain, 
The martyrs by millions, from death and his ally, 
Triumphantly rise, and with Jesus they reign. 
Oh think of the morn of the great restitution, 
When earth with the flowers of Eden shall bloom, 
When sin, death, and sorrow, with every pollution, 
Shall vanish away, or be left in the tomb. 
Then brighter by far than the beams of tho morning, 
Shall earth all her minerals and pearls disclose, 
Till hill-top and valley with jewels adorning, 
Shall glow with flap tints of the orange and rose. 
But fairer than all by the sides of the mountains, 
Where roses and violets emit their perfume, 
Are the waters of life gushing forth from the fountains, 
More radiant with light than the dew-drops at noon.

bles are substituted for the gospel. License 
to indulge in fashionable sins, round-turned 
periods and rhetorical flourishes are the qual-
ifications of a fashionable minister, and is 
mistaken by a pleasure-loving Church for 
religion. 
Then, professors of religion were honest 
in their dealings, chaste in their conversation, 
grave in their deportment, dignified in their 
manners, and loving and kind in their na- 
tures. Now, the question is often asked by 
those making no professions of religion, Who 
are Christians ? Love of the world and its 
pleasures, love of gain, pride, division and 
strife are the lot of nearly every Church. 
But why need I multiply the instances ? no 
thoughtful man but will say the picture is 
lite-like and true. What then are the con-
clusions ? 
The advance of science and art is no as-
surance of the advancement of morality or 
religion, but facts prove the reverse. "Many 
shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be 
increased, but the wicked shall do wickedly." 
Dan. 12 : 4. "This know also, that in the 
last days perilous times shall come," &c. 2 
Tim. 3: 1, marking faithfully the character-
istics of the present time. 
Such being the facts, as we look at the 
moral condition of the World, harmonizing so 
completely with prophecy, we look for no 
permanent, peaceful, happy state here. 
Wicked men and seducers will wax worse, 
deceiving, and being deceived. The devil 
has come down in great wrath, because his 
time is short. Such a state of society marks 
the end. Wickedness, like the rapid rolling 
river, gaining volume and rapidity as it 
nears the great falls, until down like a mighty 
millstone, with the bewildering wail of ever-
lasting despair. 0, world, dreaming of 
peace upon the crumbling brink of everlast-
ing despair! 0, Church, in its pride saying, 
I sit a queen, rich and increased in goods, 
and have need of nothing. Decked in glitter-
ing baubles, thou wilt soon realize suddenly 
thou art poor, and filthy, and blind, and naked. 
0, virgins, sleeping, ruined virgins, weary 
in waiting for the return of the Bridegroom, 
soon shall the midnight cry, "too late," 
awaken you from your death-like sleep, to 
the awful realization, the door is forever 
shut, and you barred out. Knock ? weary 
yourself with the cry, "Open, 0, open unto 
us," wring the helpless hands, until the voice 
shall pierce your soul with everlasting de-
spair, "I know you not, depart to everlasting 
fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. 
"Fly, fly, on wings of morning, 
Ye who the truth can tell, 
To sound the awful warning, 
To rescue souls from hell."

DECISION FOR CHRIST. 
valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit t< 
judge all the heathen round about." The 
bringing of this vast army to the valley of 
Jehoshaphat, is supposed to be expressed in 
allusion to the account in 2 Chron. 20, of 
the vast combined army, that came against 
the Jews, in the reign of Jehoshaphat. This 
pious king, upon this occasion, convened the 
people to the house of God, and prayed for 
deliverance. The Lord, by his prophet, en-
gaged to fight the battle. A spirit of mutiny 
was excited in the combined hosts. They 
fought among themselves and all were de- 
stroyed together. The Jews collected the 
spoils, and blessed God for the deliverance. 
. . , The prophet proceeds, "Put ye in the 
sickle, for the harvest- is ripe ; come get ye 
down, for the press is full ; the fats overflow ; 
for their wickedness is great." 
"Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of 
decision, for the day of the Lord is near in 
the valley of decision. The sun and the 
moon shall be darkened ; and the stars shall 
withdraw their shining. The Lord also shall 
roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from 
Jerusalem ; and the heavens and the earth 
shall shake ; but the Lord shall be the hope 
of his people, and the strength of the chil-
dren of Israel. So shall they know that I 
am the Lord your God, dwelling in Zion, my 
holy mountain. Then shall Jerusalem be 
holy, and there shall no stranger pass through 
her any more." Here is the overthrow of 
antichrist in the valley of decision. Here 
God decides the controversy between the 
Church and her enemies. From this chapter 
some part of the representation of the same 
event in Rev. 19, is. borrowed. The angel 
upon the white cloud, with his sharp sickle, 
reaps the harvest of the earth, which is fully 
ripe ; he gathers the vine of the earth, with 
its ripe grapes, and casts it into the great 
wine press of the wrath of God, in allusion 
to this passage in Joel. And the application 
of the passage there, decides that it is ful-
filled in the battle of the great day, the de-
struction of antichrist. 
In Isaiah 63 : 1-6, is the same event under 
a similar figure. Jesus Christ appears as a 
conqueror coming away from the staughter 
of Edom, and from Bozrah, its capital, glori-
ous in Tiffs apparel, travelling in the greatness 
of his strength, mighty to save ; his garments 
red with the blood of his enemies, whom he 
had trampled in his fury in the great 
press of the wrath of God. The ancient 
Edomites were noted enemies of Israel, and 
the names of their nation and capital are 
here taken to represent antichrist in the last 
times. 
In Zech. 12th, 13th and 14th chapters, we 
find the expedition and overtl.row of anti-
christ in Palestine. Chap. 14: 1-5. "Behold 
the day of the Lord corneae and thy spoil 
shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I 
will gather all nations against Jerusalem to 
battle ; and the city shall be taken, and the 
houses rifled, mid the women ravished ; and 
half of the city shall go forth into captivity, 
(or be taken captives,) and the residue of the 
people shall not be cut off from the city. 
Then shall the Lord go forth and fight 
against those nations, as when lie fought in 
the day of battle ;" i. e., as in the ancient, 
most signal instances of his fighting for his 
Church against her enemies. "And his feet 
shall stand in that day upon the Mount of 
Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the 
east ; and the Mwiri ,•' 'dives shall cleave 
in the midst th eo1 to7 I the east/460,-

earthquake, in the lays of TJZziah, King of 
Judah. And the 4rd my God shall come, 
anal all tic with thee." Or, as Pool

re.,.,entation of the icoairrrg- of Christ to de-

rible and fatal to the enemies of ca.,. Church. 
Verse 13. "And it shall cern° to pass in that. 
day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall 
be among them ; and they shall lay hold 
every one on the hand of his neighbor, and 
his hand shall rise up against the hand of his 
neighbor." As in the fore-cited passage, Ezek. 
38 : 21. "Every man's sword shall be against 
Iris brother." This was the manner of the 
destruction of the vast army combined against 
Israel, in the days of Gideon ; and of the 
vast confederate army that perished in the 
reign of Jehoshaphat. To these and similar 
instances of signal judgment against the.an-
cient enemies of the Church, allusion is often 
had, in the predictions of the battle of the 
great day. The predictions of these judg-
ments of the Lord upon antichrist in these 
three chapters, (the 12th, 13th and 14th of 
Zech.) are too long to be here quoted. They 
inform, (as chap. 12 : 9,) that the Lord will 
destroy all the nations that come against Jel, 
rusalem. . .

Each day brings its own duties and carries

CHAPTER III, SECTION IV. 
Some other prophecies in the Old 7 esta-
nzent relative to the last expedition, and the 
overthrow of antichrist, and the ruin of the 
enemies of the Church 
The Most High addresses Gog, "Art 
thou lie, of whom I have spoken in old 
times by my servants, the prophets of Israel, 
who prophesied in those days, many years, 
that I would bring thee against them ?" 
(Ezek. 38 : 17.) This terrible power of the 
last days then, was much predicted by the 
ancient prophets in Israel. The same idea 
we find in Rev. 10: 7. After the seven 
thunders had uttered their voices, and the 
angel had sworn that the time should not be 
yet, or should not be prolonged, lie adds : 
"But in the days of the voice of the seventh 
angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mys-
tery of God shall be finished, as he bath de-
clared to his servants, the prophets." This 
finishing of the mystery of iniquity at the 
beginning of the seventh trumpet, involves 
the destruction of antichrist. And this is 
what God had revealed to the ancient proph-
ets. The phrase relative to the preparing of 
tl.e enemies of the Church for the seventh 
vial, Rev. 16 : 14, "To gather them to the 
battle of that great day of God Almighty," 
implies that it is a day well known, as being 
much predicted in the prophets. We may 
throw open the books of the prophets with 
overthrow of antichrist. I shall now note a 
few of the passages which relate to this , 
event. The prophet Joel describes a terribl 
scene, which he calls, "The day of the Lord ; 
a day of darkness and gloominess, of clouds 
and thick darkness." He directs the people 
to fast and cry mightily to God, and prom-
ises that thereupon God would remove from 
them the Northern army, which he represents 
as innumerable, and most ruinous ; and the 
stench of their ruined hosts should come up, 
because they had done great things. Upon 
this he predicts the outpouring of the Spirit 
of God upon all flesh. Then in chapter 3, 
he gives a more particular account of the ter-
rible scene of judgment, and identifies it with 
the destruction of antichrist, which has been 
described. "For behold, in those days, and 
in that time, when I shall bring again the 
captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also 
gather all nations, and will bring them down 
into the valley of Jehoshaphat." The battle 
of the great day follows, verse 9, "Proclaim 
ye this among the Gentiles, prepare war ; 
wake up the mighty men ; let all the men of 
war draw near, let them come up. Beat 
your ploughshares into swords, and your 
pruning-hooks into spears ; let the weak say, 
I am strong. Assemble yourselves, and 
come all ye heathen, and gather yourselves 
together round about ; thither cause thy 
mighty ones to come down, 0 Lord. Let 
the heathen be waked and come up to the 
A few rods in the rear of our Mission 
Home, is a beautiful rise of ground on the 
crest of which is the residence of Mr. Shel-
by, (now deceased,) who formerly owned a 
great part of Edgefield as his farm. The 
residence is surrounded with beautiful trees, 
shrubbery, greenhouses, and all the comforts 
of a rich Southern residence. At a short 
distance below, toward the river, is a large, 
plain, brick building, 35 by 60 feet, two 
stories high, called "servant's quarters." In 
this house thirty farm hands formerly lived. 
Beside the farm hands, the mansion was full 
of house servants. One of the latter was 
known as Uncle Joshua. Thirty-seven years 
ago, God spoke peace to his soul. On the 
day of his baptism, as he was dressing for 
the occasion, Mr. Shelby inquired for him. 
Joshua sent word that lie was dressing for 
meeting. As soon as he could, he appeared 
before his master, who excitedly asked why 
he did not come before ? 
"Well, master, I come as soon as I could 
get changed." 
"You don't mind, you scoundrel." 
"Yes, master, I tries to mind you as well 
as I can, but I must mind Jesus too." 
The hot blood rose to the brain of the im-
petuous master, and he quickly dealt a blow 
From whatever stand-point you look at 
the world at the present time, you observe a 
restless, impatient spirit, impelling men on- 
ward. There is a power behind, like the 
hidden power that impels the railroad par, 
little understood, and little thought of. Impa- 
tience is the order of the day ; no man would 
be satisfied with the slow rate all the ma- 
chinery connected with the business of this 
world moved at fifty years ago ; a new era has 
dawned upon the world. Of the final result 
of this state of things men differ as widely 
as upon any other subject. Probably the 
great mass think they see through the mist 
and fog, the dust and smoke raised by this 
rapid train, a golden era, a dawn of a golden 
future ; that wealth and power, honor and 
worldly grandeur and greatness, with the 
most liberal institutions, and solid and liberal 
government are to be the result of the ad-
aikAli
e of science and literature. 
IIIMPTiut let us examine this matter, not only 
in the light of divine truth, but also by facts 
thus far developed. Half a century ago, a 
man thought he was doing well if he could 
travel six miles an hour, now he is impatient 
travelling four times six. Then, if intelligence 
from a distance of one hundred miles reached 
us in two days, it was doing well. Now we 
are hardly satisfied to wait an hour for news 
from a thousand miles away. Then our 
mothers and grandmothers thought they were 
doing well to spin and weave the cloth to 
clothe a family, in three or four months. 
Now the buzzing of a thousand spindles and 
the clatter of a thousand looms turning off 
and finishing its thousand of yards a day, 
hardly satisfies. Then if a yonng man could 
by the strictest economy afford to go to 
school three months in the year, he could fit 
himself at twenty-one to enter college, and 
by teaching a part of the time and boarding 
himself on one dollar per week, he would 
graduate a scholar and a gentleman. Now a 
young student, by spending all his time at 
school, and drawing a thousand a year from 
his father's purse, is a dunce at twenty-one, 
and if not expelled from college before, grad- 
uates with no honor, and in too many cases, a 
profligate. Then young ladies thought it an 
honor to help mother in the kitchen, and the 
mark of a lady to be gentle, quiet and chaste 
in her manners, and amiable in her disposi- 
tion. Now the character of a lady is to be 
bold and impudent, to talk loud, and act very 
independent and selfish, to spend their time 
in the parlor for fear of soiling their hands, 
or spinning street yarn, or perusing the last 
yellow-covered novel. 
Then, men and women, husbands and 
wives, married because they loved each 
• le solemn obliaations 
they had taken upon themselves very sacre 
Now, fancy and fashion govern the choice, 
and the marriage covenant, with all its sol-
emn and sacred obligations, is put on as we 
put on slippers, to be thrown entirely aside. 
Then, young married men, after their day's 
labor, quietly and happily spent the evening 
by their own firesides, storing their minds 
with useful knowledge, or in quiet enjoyment 
of domestic happiness. Now, the meal is 
hastily swallowed, and away hurries the 
young husband to join a company of profane 
and profligate associates at the dram shop. 
billiard saloon, bowling alley, theatre, club-
room, and frequently, what is worse yet, 
Some den of infamy too degraded and low 
hardly to name before a respectable audience. 
Then, wives made homes pleasant and at-
tractive, were gentle and kind, chaste, keep-
ers at home, loving their husbands. Now, 
company, gayety, pride, affectation, peevish-
ness, indolence, slander, selfishness, and final-
ly hatred, makes home a hell, and matrimony 
a bondage. 
Then, children loved and obeyed their 
parents, and were a blessing. Now, father 
is called the old man, and mother's counsels 
are disregarded. Obedience is a thing not 
thought of, parental authority set at naught, 
and profanity and immorality, drunkeness 
and revelry, ignorance and crime are the re-
sult. Then, parents watched the moral train-
ing of their children, knew where they spent 
their evenings, as also their days, counselled,

THE THINGS BEFORE US. 
ally die. Was theirs a spiritual or moral 
death ? No ; for no one can be called Christ's 
witness, blessed and holy, and yet be dead 
in this moral sense. What was their death, 
then, but a literal, personal and individual 
death ? 'Was it not a death in the real, nat-
ural and ordinary meaning of that word ? 
Well, then, here, as in the other cases, as 
was the death-so shall the predicted- resur-
rection be. As the martyrs arid saints liter-
ally, really and personally died, and in that 
sense alone are dead, so shall they again .be 
literally, really and personally made alive 
again in "the first resurrection ;" whilst "the 
rest of the dead" sleep on "until the thou-
sand years are finished." Spiritually the 
martyrs are not dead ; nationally they never 
died ; influentially they are not dead. They 
have had their successors in all ages, in 
whom their qualities and spirit have never 
become extinct. They yet speak. They 
are dead corporeally, and in no other sense. 
And when John tells us that they shall live 
again in the first resurrection, be can mean 
nothing but a corporeal resuscitation. The 
wicked who die in their sins are not to be 
spiritually raised, nor nationally raised, mior 
influentially raised. When they die, their 
probation ends, and judgment comes. When 
it is affirmed, therefore, that they shall live 
again, it can only be understood of a corpo-
real resurrection. Yet the same words, in 
the same verses, -which assert the resurrec-
tion of the unsanctified dead, assert the res-
urrection of the holy dead, with only these 
two diflerences, that the holy rise to reign, 
whilst the wicked rise to burn, and that the 
one class rises a thousand years in advance 
of the other class. And as /he resurrectiou 
of the wicked—"the rest of the dead"—at 
the final judgment can be taken only in a 
corporeal and literal sense, so the first res-
urrection—the resurrection of the "blessed 
and holy"—must also be received in the 
same corporeal and literal sense. I can see 
no escape from this conclusion. 
To be continued. 
CHRIST'S FINISHED WORK. 
E litor—Is it true that we must again 
prepare for war ? I answer it is true. In 
1857, there was a terrible financial panic. 
I then said in the city of Buffalo, the next 
trouble in our country, and the world will 
be political, and slavery will be the fire, and 
will burn itself out in this country in the 
struggle. Europe too will have the fires of 
liberty burning out oppression, and soon. all 
countries will be free. The panic com-
menced in our country, and raged with fury 
all through Europe, afterwards ; so, too, the 
political contest has begun in our country, 
which will soon burn the world over with 
the fire of liberty. 
The next great act, in the programme of 
God's power in this world, is a religious 
war, which will set in, (if not end,) before 
our President Johnson leaves his seat for the 
present term. That war will be between 
the Catholics, with the rebels and a north-
ern party to assist them, on the one hand, 
and the Protestants of al denominations, the 
republicans and the blacks as their helpers, 
on the other. And now I would ask, is it 
not God's will that the blaCks be not only 
free, but made one of the government, and 
permitted to vote for the government he will 
in a very short time be called in to defend ? 
Prompt action in this will save our country 
many a hard-fought battle, and add millions 
of strong arms to our government's side, that 
must soon be called. on to help again. May 
God help us to take in sail before the storm ; 
and no time is to be lost, for the barometer 
is going down, down, though the sky is clear 
now. Two revolutions have passed in this 
country. 1st, financial, in 1857 ; 2d, politi-
cal, in 1860-65. There are two others yet 
to come. 3d, religious wars, and 4th, social 
revolutions. This is the programme, and 
What I say to you, I say to all men—get

Rev. William Goodell, D. D., long connected

the Armenians, who, with his wife, • is now 
constrained, by advancing age, to return to 
the United States. He writes : 
"This is, to us, a sad conclusion to which we 
have come ; but after much thought. and con-
sultation, we are unable to come to any other. 
When we left America the first time in 1822, 
I do not recollect that either of us shed a 
tear. We sailed from New York, having al-
ready taken leave of our friends in New 
England. When we sailed the second time, 
in 1853, and left five children standing on 
the wharf in Boston, not one of whom had 
yet found a home, we sat down and wept. 
But at the very thought of leaving our works 
in Constantinople, together with our beloved 
associates, and all the dear objects of our 
prayers and labors in the East, our head 
seems ready at once to become graters, and 
our eyes a fountain of tears. Of all our sep-
arations, this seems hardest to bear. Forty-
three years ago, we had youth and courage, 
being strong and hopeful. Now, youth and 
strength and energy are gone. Then we 
had much confidence in ourselves, but we 
would still confidently put our hand in His, 
and go confidingly and cheerfully, wherever 
He may lead us, whether it be from the 
Eastern to the Western continent, or from 
this world to the other. 
"When we left America the first time, it 
was to go to Jerusalem. That was our des-
tination, but we have never been there. 
Now we set our faces toward the New Jeru-. 
salem, and I hope we shall not fail of arriv-
ing there. It is not so much America as it 
is Heaven to which we would now direct our 
eyes and thoughts. For though life itself may 
yet be spared for several years, our lifework 
must be nearly or quite done ; and we feel 
that 'we are going home to die no more.' 
We have the prospect of finding, among our 
beloved children, a suitable room, where we 
can breath our last prayers ; and we hope to 
find a corner in some cemetery, where we 
can rest in quietness till the bright morning 
of the resurrection. 
"I anticipate much pleasure, my dear 
brother, in seeing you and the other members 
of the Prudential Committee, with your and 
their families once more. The cause in 
which you and they and we have worn out 
our eyes and strength and life, is a glorious 
_cause. In the service of the Board I have 
worn out two entire sets of teeth—one of 
ivory and one of gold. I have also worn out 
my eyes and my voice. My understanding 
also I have worn out, or suffered to rust out; 
and indeed all I can now say of myself is, 
"I am a pour sinner, just nothing at all, 
But dssus Christ is my all in all !"

FATE OF THE APOSTLES. 
WHAT IS DUTY. 
This is the most important question that a 
Christian can ask. It is not what is expe-
dient, although_ expediency is to be con-
sidered. It might be said that when an ac-
tion is expedient it becomes duty. There 
may be two kinds of expediency. One kind 
is when the cause of God is advanced by 
taking a certain course ; the other when our 
own interest is advanced. The former would 
be duty, while the latter would not. 
I suppose it is the experience of every 
person, thr t there are times when it is diffi-
cult for them to tell precisely what course to 
take, in other words, to tell what duty is. 
Sometimes, it may be, we spend days in de-
ciding, and after all are obliged to confess 
that we move in the dark. I seriously ques-
tion the necessity of these dark times. Has 
God left us without a guide ? May we not 
know what God's will is concerning us ? 
What does Jesus say ? "I will not leave you 
comfortless." Again he says, "Howbeit 
when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, lie will 
guide you into all truth." Whom is this 
promise to ? It cannot be to those that will 
not be guided by the Spirit. Jesus says at 
another time, "If a man love me, he will 
keep my words : and my Father will love 
him and we will come unto him, and make 
We have noticed recently in our inter-
course with Christians, an increasing famil-
iarity with the phrase, "Finished work of 
Christ." Sonic of them we are persuaded, 
use it rather heedlessly, not pausing to con-
sider its import, while others do it of set 
purpose, as an expression of their established 
faith. But from whatever cause, we regard 
its tendency as evil, for it is the stepping= 
stone to Antinomianism. 
Has Christ finished his work ? We reply, 
1st. He has paid the penalty for all our sins ; 
that work is finished. 2d. He has risen 
from the dead, the first fruits of them that 
slept, and secured the resurrection of time hu-
man race, the just and the unjust. 3d. He 
has gone into heaven as our high priest, with 
the blood of sprinkling. 
But he has not finished his intercejlit o' 
work in our behalf, fin. "He ever lived-JINN"—
make intercession for us." He has not done 
pardoning us ; fir he has •-ra-
- rugtre-tis" every 
day to say, "Forgive us our trespasses." He 
has not completed the work of sanctification ; 
for the apostolic prayer for the Church was, 
"Sanctify you wholly." He has not done 
supporting the believer, for he is only "kept 
by the power of God through faith unto sal-
vation." Nor has lie completed the work of 
our restoration to life from the dead, which 
lie will do "In a moment, in the twinkling of 
an eye, at the last trump." 
But there are some who use this phrase to 
dissuade Christians from a sense of obliga-
tion to work and sacrifice for Christ. It is 
the spirit which says, "Cease your doing." 
This we regard as injurious to the cause of 
Christ, and detrimental to the interests .of be-
lievers themselves, both fbr the present and 
future world. Christ has left his interests in 
this world during his absence to the far 
country to receive his kingdom, with his ser-
vants, and says, "Occupy till I come." And 
he informs us particularly how he will grad-
uate his rewards. To him who from one, 
gains ten talents, he will place over ten cities. 
To him who from a talent gains five talents, 
he will place over five cities. 
But it is urged, Did not Christ say, John 
17 : 4, "I have finished the work thou gayest 
me to do ?" Certainly lie did. But what 
was that work ? Not all the work there was 
to be done even by him, for he had not yet 
been offered up on the cross as a sacrice for 
sin. But he told what work he had done. 
"I have glorified thee on the earth." "I 
have manifested thy name unto the men 
which thou gayest me out of the world." "I 
have given unto them the words which thou 
gayest me," &ce. eBrustuJIceesttlislaltiatsiebelt:i

As an abstract theological dogma we care 
little about it or any other forms of expres-
sion. But when, as recently we have seen 
it producing evil fruit, and developing itself 
for evil in the life of those who were earnest 
and active disciples, we feel it a duty to 
speak out, and put Christians on their guard 
assed upon the martyrs, and upon "those 
ho were beheaded for the testimony of Je-
ns, and for the word of God"? Was it a 
ational death ? Nationally time martyrs 
Continued. 
Others, again, are of opinion that this 
"first resurrection" denotes a great number 
of dissitnilar changes relating to the prosper-
ity of the gospel and the peace of the world, 
such as the general conversion of the wicked, 
the restoration of the Jews, the universal 
diffusion of liberty and light, and the revival 
of Christianity in the purity in which it was 
embraced by the martyrs. This notion was 
first set on foot by Whitby about fifty years 
ago, and has met with great favor from some 
classes of teachers. But it is filled with in-
consistencies and surrounded by insuperable 
objections. The resurrection which the text 
speaks of is time resurrection of "them that 
were beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, 
and for time word of God, and whoever had 
not worshipped the beast nor his image." 
The wicked never were beheaded for the 
testimony of Jesus, or for the word of God. 
Their deadness in trespasses and in sins is 
not the result of their faithful adherence to 
the Son of God. The Jewish race, which 
now lies buried among the nations, was not 
denationalized arid reduced to this condition 
in consequence of bearing testimony for 
Christ, but for denying and crucifying him. 
It is impossible, therefbre, that these parties 
should be the subjects of the resurrection 
spoken of. And the idea that the resurrec-
tion of the martyrs denotes merely the reviv-
al of their spirit and moral qualities is at va-
riance with the text in another respect. The 
apostle is speaking of persons. saw the 
souls of them that had been beheaded for the 
testimony of Jesus : and they lived and 
reigned with Christ." The original term 
occurs nearly a hundred times in the New 
Testament, but is never once used to denote 
characteristics or attributes. It invariably 
means lives, beings, persons, souls ; as where 
we read there "were in the ship two hundred 
and seventy-six souls ;" there were added to 
the church "about three thousand souls ;" in 
Noah's ark "eight souls were saved." And 
so the living again and reigning of those souls 
that were beheaded for their fidelity to God, 
must mean the resurrection, not of their spir-
itual characteristics, but of tiesse beings or 
persons themselves. As a patient student 
and learned critic remarks, "It is a literal 
resurrection that is predicted of them mani-
festly, inasmuch as that is the only resurrec-
tion of which disembodied saints are capable. 
It certainly is not a renovation of heart, as 
they were j-enewed while in this life, and are 
made priests of God and of Christ, and giv-
en to• reign with him, because they were 
saints here. As their resurrection then can-
not be a spiritual change analogous to a res-
toration of the body from death, it must nec-
essarily be a corporeal change. That it is to 
be a corporeal resurrection is shown more-
over by the representation that the rest of 
the dead lived not till the thousand years 
should be finished. The rest of the dead are 
the literally dead ; not the literally living, 
though without spiritual life. To treat that 
term as a mere metaphor, is to deny to the 
vision the character of a symbol and to 
empty the whole passage of its meaning. If 
the death of those who are not partakers of 
the first resurrection be but metaphorical, 
then must the death of the martyrs be meta-
phorica! also, and thence the resurrection 
which is ascribed to the souls be merely met-
aphorical. But that is to make the passage 
a mere assemblage of metaphors, without 
anything literal from which the figures are 
drawn or to which they are applied, and to 
divest it of all propriety and significance. If 
the souls of the dead, as well as the resur-
rection, be mere metaphors, no agents what-
ever are left to be their subjects ; and they 
are predicates without anything of which 
they are affirmed,—metaphors with nothing 
which they metaphorize. As the souls exhib-
ited in the vision then are real souls, so, also, 
for the same reason, the rest of the dead are 
the real dead, and the resurrection affirmed 
of the one and denied of the other a real res-
urrection." (Lord's Exp. of the Apocalypse, 
p. 519.) Professor Stuart also treats this 
text as "simple prose," and endorses "the ex-
egesis which deduces from the whole passage 
,se /scatty of a first resurrection at the o- 
duction of the millennium." 
(Corn., in loc.) 
The facts upon which those rely who in-
terpret this first resurrection figuratively are, 
—that Ezekiel has the restoration and con-
version of the Jews symbolized to him under 
the resuscitation of the dry bones, and that

ThF7se—--
-ds of the Saviour are 
true, why these doubts in regard to duty ? 
We do not doubt the truth of the word, so 
we are forced to conclude that the trouble is 
in us. Having come to this conclusion, the 
only difficulty is in determining where it 
lies. 
We are expressly told if we do God's will, 
both lie and the Saviour will take up their 
continual abode with us. No doubt remains, 
but those that do God's will are the ones 
that have the promise of being guided by the 
Spirit.. Another conclusion is, that if we 
are not guided by time Spirit, or arc unable 
to tell how the Spirit would guide us, that 
we are somehow, off the track ; that we are 
either not doing or are unwilling to do, the 
will of the Lord. 
Here lies time difficulty, and for us to un-
dertake to know the will of the Lord with-
out being willing to do his will, would be. 
like a mariner undertaking to cross the ocean 
to sonic place on the opposite side, without a 
compass. He might arrive at the right port, 
but the chances would be against him. He 
would be more likely, if he would be able to 
cross the ocean at all, to at 
 at some other 
place. 'The probability would be, that he 
would make "shipwreck." But let him take 
his chart and compass,. and then when he 
comes to a shoal or breakers, that seem to 
lie directly in his path, he will know which p 
way to turn.

ciently studied his chart, when lie has sought n

ceived their portion. In after-times co com-
mon had martydom become; that the Fathers 
courted it as adding to the brightness of the 
crowns they should wear in the eternal 
world. 
It is remarkable that Christ predicted to 
his disciples that they would receive pre-

promise them that they should increase in

governments. He did not offer them world-

greater miracle than the present existence 
of the Christian church, under such circum-

MODE OF REPROOF. 
Some persons pride themselves on being 
blunt, or as they call it, "honest ;" but 
very blunt people do little good to 
others, and get little love to . them-
selves. The Scriptures recommend gentleness 
arid kindness. Reproof should fall like the 
dew, and not like the rushing hail storm. 
The oil insinuates itself ; the stone wounds 
and then rebounds. (Ps. cxli, 5.) Chris-
tians should take heed of getting fond of the 
work of "rebuking." Such "spiritual consta-
bles" do a great deal of mischief without in-
tending it. They are in a church, what a 
very witty and sarcastic person is in a socie-
ty, or what a tell-tale is in school ; and ap-
proximate very closely to that class which 
the apostle terms "Busy-bodies in other men's 
matters." 
Our manner must be tender and winning. 
The nail of reproof, says an old writer, must 
be well oiled in kindness before it is driven 
home. 
Meddling with the faults of others is like 
attempting to move a person afflicted with 
the rheumatic gout-itanust be done slowly 
and tenderly, nor must we be frightened by 
an outcry or two. The great thing is to 
show the person that you really love him ; 
and if you manifest this in the sight of God 
lie will bless your effbrts, and give you favor 
in the sight of an erring brother.-Christian

A GOOD EXAMPLE.-The London cor 
respondent of the Presbyterian mentions the 
following pleasing incident : 
"The work-women employed by a great 
city house, Messrs. Copestake, Moore & Co., 
in Bow Church-yard, • Cheapside, generally 
have their tasks (mantle-making, &c.,) in 
their lodgings ; but now new premises, com-
prising work-rooms for four or five hundred 
women, have been constructed. To these, 
Mr. Moore, who was once a lad on a small 
farm in Cumberland, addressed a most in-
teresting speech. He is modest, humble, 
and earnest. He sustains every good cause 
by his purse and influence. To the women, 
Bible-class instruction is now provided. On 
the relations of employer and employed, Mr. 
Moore said :-"I repudiate the notion that 
the employer, as such, is less beholden to 
the employed than they are to him. We 
are all of one flesh and blood, and there 
ought to be a proper sympathy between em-
ployer and employed. If I could not feel 
that sympathy, I would not care to carry on 
business at all.' He then added-(the sol-

BRITISH BURMAH.-The Calcutta corres-
pondent of the Times writes as follows : "In 
British Burmah, the American Baptist mis-
sionaries have civilized at least 60,000 Ka-
rens in the last ten years, and Col. Phayre, 
the Chief Commissioner, has often said of 
one missionary there and 'this wife, that he 
considers them of more value to the admin-
istration than half-a-dozen magistrates. In 
the large jungly country of Chota Nagpore, 
the Lutheran missionaries from Berlin have 
Christianized hundreds of villages, and the 
mere work of baptizing the converts is so 
great, that they have applied for more col-
leagues. The people there are the Coles, 
who supply the tea districts of India with I 
coolie labor. In their case, there is no effete 
civilization like that of the Tlindoos, to be 
first destroyed, so that, since 1850, four Ger-
man pastors have baptized 7000 people. As 
I write, I hear that within the past few 
weeks, 600 have been admitted to the church. 
The change is so thorough as to attract the 
attention and support of the secular authori-
ties. All the Coles who are to be baptized 
or married, must go to Rancbee, the county 
town ; and once a year at least, all the adults, 
from distances of 100 miles in many cases, 
go up there to worship, and to present in the 
church which the rebels tried in vain to de-
stroy in 1857, the first fruits of the harvest. 
In the cold season, the missionaries itinerate 
among their flocks, but they have an indigen-
ous system of Christianizing which tests the 
reality of a new creed. In every fatnily, 
there is worship morning and evening ; in 
every village there are elders who conduct 
divine service on Sunday, and act as magis- 
trates in deciding disputes during the 
w,c1,. 
Many of the Villages have schools, one-half' 
the expense of which is contributed by the 
State. Some villages are altogether Chris-
tian, but in most. cases, Christian families 
live in heathen villages, and it is by their 
means that there are so many baptisms. 
None are baptized until after a year's in-
struction and probation. Poor as they are, 
being generally peasants oppressed by their 
Bengali landlords, they have promised to 
subscribe 6s. a year each, to the schools in 
which boys are being trained as teachers and 
catechists. So remarkable has this work be-
come, that Mr. Temple, the Chief Commis• 
sioner of the central provinces, has just writ-
ten to the missionaries, begging them to do 
the same for similar tribes farther south in 
and around Belaspore. My information is 
derived from a Calcutta merchant, who 
lately returned from a personal visit to Cho-
ta Nagpore." 
PROTESTANTISM AND 
AND POPERY, 
"On Friday evening," says the Daily Tele-
graph, "the Marquis of Westmeath, in the 
Lords, did the State the service of eliciting 
a remarkable declaration from the Bishop of 
London. The Marquis had witnessed a 
spectacle in the church of St. Matthias, at 
Stoke Newington, on Whit-Sunday last, 
which 'their lordships would hardly suppose 
possible of occurrence in the Church of Eng-
land.' The sacred edifice was got up with 
the showy millinery and ornament of a Rom- 
ish 
 were vases ot flowers 
on the communion-table, with a crimson 
cloth, and a large brass cross. The priests, 
who were numerous, and strangely garbed 
in vestments for which Protestant congrega-
tions have neither a name nor a taste, formed 
a procession with the choristers, arid carried 
the cross round the church ; and when it 
was deposited on the altar, a youth swung a 
censer, and filled the building with incense. 
Then the priests made obeisances and genu-
flexions, with their backs to the congrega-
tion ; and when the preacher's time was 
come to ascend the pulpit, he divested him-
self of a flame-red garment, and put on a 
surplice, explaining in the course of the ser-
mon the fact, which would certainly not have 
been obvious without that explanation, that 
the fiery robes represented the tongues of 
flame which descended upon the apostles at 
Pentacost. At these vagaries the Marquis 
rubbed his eyes, and asked himself if he 
could really be in a Protestant place of wor-
ship. Lord Westmeath also drew the atten-
tion of the peers to the perfectly familiar 
truth that the same kind of parody upon 
Romish rituals goes on in several London 
churches, and in not a few among the pro-
vincial towns and country districts. There 
was, without doubt, a great deal in the dis-

conclusion, turning to the bench of bishor s,

least an explanation. The question certainly

with the utmost gravity and sincerest

clared that fresh legislation alone could deal 
KITTY'S JOY. 
JOY. 
"Why so happy, little one ?" said a gay 
lady of the world to a child whose face was 
shining with peace. 
"Because God makes me so ; and how can 
I help it ?" said Kitty. 
"I wish I were as happy as you," said the 
lady. 
"You might be, I am sure," said the little 
one. "God wants you to be happy too." 
"I suppose it is because you are so good 
that you are so happy ?" 
"No indeed," said Kitty, "I at not good 
at all ; I am very bad, and have got a bad 
heart." 
"How, then, are you so happy ?" 
"Because God has forgiven all my sins," 
said the little one ; "and I am so happy." 
"How did you get this?" said the lady. 
"I just went to God with my sins, and he 
took them from me, and I have been so hap-
py since." 
"Then you don't care about being good ?" 
"Indeed I do," said Kiity ; "I never cared 
for being good till I got my sins pardoned ; 
and now I know that God loves me, I would 
do anything to please him ; but I did not 
get pardon by being good ; I got it just by 
going to God for it.-Christian Treasury. 
THE TRUE MAN.-He is above a mean 
thing. He cannot stoop to mean fraud. He 
invades no secrets in the keeping of another. 
He betrays no secrets confided to his own 
keeping. He never struts in borrowed plu-
mage. He never takes selfish advantage of 
our mistakes. He uses no ignoble weapons 
in controversy. He never stabs in the dark. 
He is ashamed o inuendoes. He is not one 
thing to a man's face and another behind his 
back. If by accident lie comes in possession 
of his neighbor's counsels he passes upon 
theta an act of instant oblivion. He bears 
sealed packages without tampering with the 
wax. Papers not meant for his eye, wheth-
er they flutter at the window or lie open be-
fore him in unguarded exposure, are sacred 
to him. He encroaches on no privacy of 
others however the sentry sleeps. Bolts and 
bars, locks and keys, hedges and pickets, 
bonds and securities, notices to trespassers, 
are none of them for him. He may be trust-
ed himself out of sight-near the thinnest 
partition-any where. He buys no office, 
lie sells none, he intrigues for none, He 
would rather fail of his rights than win them 
through dishonor. He will eat honest bread. 
He insults no man. He tramples on no sen-
sitive feeling. If be have a rebuke for

held sweet converse, and speaking four times 
to interesting congregations, we bade them 
all adieu, and wended our way among and 
over the hills to this place to unfurl the han-
ner of the gospel of the coming kingdom in 
this romantic town. It is situated on the 
Passumpsic River about ten miles above its 
junction with the Connecticut River. It is 
celebrated as the place where are manufac-
tured the celebrated Fairbanks' scales. This 
is probably the most extensive factory of the 
kind in this country, it not in the world. 
We learn that they are in demand in Europe, 
and even as far distant as China, so that 
they go literally to the ends of the earth. 
Some three or four hundred hands are em-
ployed in these works. 
And here we are on the track of Bro. H. 
Canfield who has charge of the office during 
our absence. It was here he first engaged 
in the work of the ministry and held up the 
light in this place by holding in connection 
with other brethren, a prayer meeting. And 
from here he sallied forth to the adjacent 
towns and preached the gospel of the king-
dom. The nucleus thus formed still remains, 
and receiving accessions from time to time 
it will, we trust, yet grow to be a flower 
among the people. 
The M. E. Church vestry has been kind-
ly given us for our evening meetings during-
the week ; and for our Sabbath services, a 
large public hall has been secured. 
J. L. 
Jesus Christ has made a full atonement 
for our sins, and he calls on us to accept it. 
He has purchased and secured for us the gift 
of the Holy Ghost, he instructs us to ask for 
that gift, that we may receive it, and be re-
generated by its power. He intercedes for 
us, but he calls on us to present our petitions 
to the Father through him. 
SALVATION OF GRACE. 
We are admonished that the Apostle says : 
"By grace ye are saved through faith, and 
that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God ; 
not of works, lest any man should boast." 
All this we admit. The atonement is all 
of grace. The Holy Spirit in his renewing 
power, is all of grace. The intercession of 
Christ is all of grace. The pardon of sin is 
of grace through faith. So is our sanctifica-
tion and the resurrection of the just. But it 
must never be forgotten that we are only 
benefitted by this grace as we believe in 
Christ, which is our act. If we are thus jus-
tified, sanctified and resurrected to eternal 
life and admitted to the kingdom, what is to 
be our status there ? The least and greatest 
are to be determined by our doing. We are 
to be the makers of our own condition in the 
kingdom. The Bible holds out reward as 
well as grace. "Shall be recompensed at the 
resurrection of the just." "Great is your 
reward in heaven." "My reward is with 
me, to give to every man as his work shall 
be." "Of the Lord you shall receive the re-
ward of the inheritance ; for ye serve the 
Lord Christ." 
For each pain we endure for his sake, he 
will give a pleasure. For each sacrifice of 
earthly good for him, an "hundred fbld." 
"Whoso shall give you a cup of cold water 
only, in the name of a disciple, he shall in no 
wise lose his reward." "Our light afflictions 
which are for a moment, work for us a far 
more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." 
Christ then will pay or reward all his ser-
vants for all they do. 
Nor can it be a matter of small importance 
to us. If it were only to affect our condition 
for a few days, it would be of comparatively 
little consequence. But it is for eternity we 
are acting. How diligent, then should we 
be to lay up treasure in heaven ; for then 
our motives to endure to the end will be 
abundantly increased, "So an entrance shall 
be ministered to you abundantly into the 
everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour 
Jesus Christ." 
LEAST AND GREATEST. 
There is a spirit of indolence in the re-
ligious world, which says, "If I can only get 
into the kingdom, I shall be satisfied." Such 
thoughts and feelings as these are very un-
worthy a follower of him, who "For the joy 
which was set before him, endured the cross, 
despising the shame, and is set down on the 
right hand of the throne of the Majesty in 
the heavens." "Whatever may be the opinion 
of such lazy professors now, the time is com-
ing when they will change their minds. Am-
bition to excel, and stand at the head, or as 
near the head as possible, is a motive-power 
which has always been brought to bear with 
effect on humanity, either for good or evil. 
Everlasting life and its accompanying good 
was God's motive to obedience set before 
our first parents, while a counter motive, the 
escaping the penalty of the divine law, was 
set on the other side. When Satau would 
seduce man, he set another object before him. 
Ile first struck down the idea of penalty, 
and then said, tempting his ambition, "Ye 
shall be as gods."

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR. 
St. Johnsbury, Vt., July 28, 1865. 
Sickness and death are every day occurren-
ces. Our last gave an account of the death 
and burial of the wife of Elder Otis G. 
Smith. At Sugar Hill, we met with our be-
loved brother, Elder I. H. SHIPMAN, who is 
slowly recovering from a severe attack of 
lung fever, by which he was brought down 
to the gates of death, but the Lord in pity 
to his own cause and his scattered flock, has 
raised him. up again, and so far restored his 
health, that he is able to resume in a meas-
ure his pastoral duties, from which for a 
number of months, he was laid aside. But 
the church of his charge remained steadfast 
in faith, looking for that blessed hope. At 
an early period of the Advent movement, 
they took their stand in support of this 
cause, and have kept the fitith till now, still 
looking for that blessed hope. The season 
of the year was very unfavorable for meet-
ings through the week, it being in the heighth 
of haying time, and in a farming community. 
But notwithstanding, we had good meetings 
each day, and on the Sabbath a good con-
gregation. It being the Sabbath for the 
Freewill Baptists to occupy the church, Eld-
Smith, the pastor, very generously waived 
his right to the pulpit for the day, and gave 
us the opportunity of speaking to the people 
three times, thus closing our labors at Sugar 
Hill. 
In 1842, we had one of our largest and 
most triumphant meetings at Whitefield, N. 
H., and had not been able to visit the place 
since that time, till the present week. Leav-
ing the friends at Sugar Hill, in company 
with Bro. Shipman, we wound our way 
over the hills surrounding the white Mount-
ains, and soon found ourselves at Whitefield, 
where an appointment had been given out 
for the evening. There we met with old 
friends on whom time had wrought its fur-
rows and silvered over the head ; and many 
had fallen asleep. But the memory of form-
er days had not passed away, nor the faith 
then received and cherished, been forgotten. 
The same blessed hope which then cheered 
the hearts of pilgrims in the vigor of life, is 
the solace of declining years. Here too, we 
found those who were then children, and 
listened to the gospel of the kingdom with 
childish curiosity, rejoicing now in hope, and 
the support of the church at the present day. 
A most interesting company of young peo-
ple have embraced the Saviour, and stand 
forth as his witnesses. And we are happy 
to learn that it is their delight to join in the 
services of the sanctuary and bear their 
part in the worship of the Holy One. After 
spending three interesting days with this peo-
ple in company with Elder Cleaveland, their 
pastor, with whom and his companion we 
Dear Bro. 
Bro. Canfield :-Yours, reporting 
the news of the disaster at the Mission 
School, near Nashville, reached me at this 
place. My first emotions were those of sad-
ness. But when I remembered that not a lit-
tle sparrow falls to the ground without his 
notice, and that "All things shall work to-
gether for good to them that love God," then 
I say, Thy will be done. Probably the seem-
ing disaster will excite an interest and sym-
pathy in the mission which has never been 
felt before, and great good will come from 
the seeming evil. 
But our path is now a nlain one ; the 
damage must be repaired, and that at once, 
or as soon as possible. I am glad to hear 
that the missionaries have already made their 
appeal to the friends, and I heartily second 
it. Let all who are interested in this work 
take hold now, and let us have a good mis-
sion house completed before cold weather. 
"'The Lord loveth the cheerful giver." Come 
The palace of Herod stands on a table of 
land, on the very summit of the hill, over-
looking every part of the surrounding coun-
try ; and such were the exceeding softness 
and beauty of the scene, even under the 
wilderness and waste of Arab cultivation, 
that the city seemed smiling in the midst-of 
her desolation. All around was a beautiful 
valley, watered by running streams and cov-
ered with a rich carpet of grass, sprinkled 
like an open book before me, a boundary of 
fruitful mountains, the vine and the olive 
rising in terraces to their very summits ; 
there, day after day, the haughty Herod had 
sat in his royal palace ; and, looking out 
upon all these beauties, his heart had become 
hardened with prosperity ; here, among 
those still towering columns, the proud mon-
arch had made a supper for "his lords, and 
high captains, and chief' estates of Galilee ;'' 
here the daughter of Herodias, Herod's 
brother's wife, "danced before him, and the 
proud king promised, with an oath, to give 
her whatsoever she asked, even to the half 
of his kingdom." And while the feast was 
going on, the "head of John the Baptist was 
brought in a charger and given to the dam-
sel." And Herod has gone, and Herodias, 
Herod's brother's wife has gone, and "the 
lords, and the high captains, and the chief 
estates of Galilee" are gone : but the ruins 
of the palaces in which they feasted are still 
here ; the mountains and valleys which be-
held their revels are here ; and, oh ! what a 
comment upon the vanity of worldly great-
ness 1 A Fellah was turning his plough on

brethren and friends, send in your funds as j asked him what were the ruins that we saw ; 
and while his oxen were quietly cropping 
the grass that grew among the fragments of 
the marble floor, he told me that they were 
the ruins of the palace of a king, he believed, 
of the Christians ; and while pilgrims from 
every quarter of the world turn aside from 
their path to do homage in the prison of his 
beheaded victim, the Arab who was driving 
his plough among the columns of his palace 
knew not the name of the haughty Herod. 
Even at this distance of time, I look back 
with a feeling of uncommon interest upon 
my ramble among those ruins, talking with 
the Arab ploughman of the king who built 
it, leaning against a column which, perhaps, 
had often supported the haughty Herod, and 
looking out from this scene of desolation and 
ruin upon the most beautiful country in the 
Holy Land.

A WARNING.-" A Primitive Churchman," 
writing to the Church Journal from the 
Highlands, alludes to the vast Romiali semi-
nary or nunnery situated in that region, and 
makes the following complaint : 
"To such institutions, foolish mothers of 
our holy faith will send their daughters and 
their children, saying, '0 they are young, 
and do not know anything about religious 
peculiarities,' as if it were not true that first 
impressions are lasting and never effaced. 
But this pernicious fashion of 'snatching' an 
education from the jaws of spiritual danger 
or desolation is happily passing away, and 
forever. Parents begin to see that convent 
learning is 'French,' that is, brilliant, but 
hollow ; that the heart, the devotional na-
ture, is even more important than 'meat and 
drink ;' that a system which adopts to a 
greater or less extent the Jesuit motto, 'Do 
evil that good may come,' cannot but under-
mine the sense of right, and give an obliqui-
ty to conscience that a life-time cannot rem-
edy-if indeed, as I myself have also too 
often noticed, as regards my own dear friends, 
the pupil has not learned to despise the faith 
of her fathers while she repeats her French 
and Italian. The world is swayed by influ-
ence, and a parent might as well deny that 
fire burns, as that she is doing harm in sub-
mitting her offspring to Romish education. 
`Can a man touch pitch and not be defiled ?' " 
The colored people of the South have a 
peculiar way of expressing themselves. One 
of them exultingly exclaimed, "De Lord got 
de Jonnies into de Red Sea, when he pull 
out de lynch pin, and dey all. went to de 
bottom !" Another in his prayer burdened 
with the necessities of himself and brethren, 
said, "0 Lord, be pleased to shake your 
great table-cloth ober your hungry childrens 
dat dey may be fed wid de crumbs of your 
love." Another, preaching at Port Hudson, 
said : "De whole ob God's relation to us am 
like de wheel. De Lord Jesus Christ am 
de hub, de Christians am de spokes, and de 
tire am de grace ob God a binden 'ern all 
together ; and de nearer we get to de hub, 
de nearer we get to each other." 
"In a negro class-meeting at Richmond, 
Va., Sam Johnson was called on to pray ; 
and before he had closed his prayer, the 
leader called out ; 'Sam Johnson, you may 
take your seat, and let Cuffee Sugden pray ; he 
isibetter acquainted wid de Lord dams you.' " 
Another, with delightful significance, said : 
"0 Massa Jesus ! we's jes like little birde, 
sittin' on de edge oh de nest wid deir mouths 
open ; now, jes gib us what you will." 
The Paris coarespondent of the National 
Intelligencer says : 
"The French are building six immense 
structures at Constantinople, which they call 
hospitals. They are of massive construction, 
and admirably arranged as hospitals, but 
they will, at the same time, make splendid 
barracks, and by no means contemptible fort; 
or places 0-I defense. The Turks view them 
with great sorrow, if .not Toyp-
dig- 
ntrat feelings, for they are convinced the 
G7sotor never again intends to leave Stam-
boul." 
The city is now alive with excitement 
over the arrival here of the foremost military 
man of the age-the defender and saviour of 
his country-the modest and unassuming 
citizen, Lieutenant-General Ulysses S. 
Grant. 
The Lieutenant-General and suite, com-
posed of Mrs. Grant, fbur children, two ser-
vants, Col. 0. C. Babcock, Col. Horace Por-
ter, Col. Adam Badeau, and Col. E. S. Par-
ker, left Albany Saturday morning in a spe-
cial train, consisting of a passenger and bag-
gage train only, both being specially intend-
ed for the use of the distinguished passen-
ger. 
On Sunday, at the Old South Church, the 
General, with his eldest son, and staff, ac-
companied by the Governor and Adjutant 
General Schouler, attended Divine service in 
the forenoon,. and listened to a discourse by 
the Rev. Mr. Manning. 
A public reception was given on Monday 
at 12 o'clock, at Faneuil Hall.

We trust there will be a general gather-
ing of the brethren and friends in all the sur 
rounding regions. They are designed to stir 
up to a more full consecration of all we are 
and all we have to Him who loved us, and 
to win souls to Christ. Let us come to these 
meetings full of faith and the Holy Ghost, 
and with a mind to work, then we shall have 
reason to rejoice because of the presence and 
blessing of Him for whom we wait.

). 
A thistle grew up by the wayside, tall and 
rank, and after a time its many beautifid am-
ethyst blossoms expanded in the sunshine. 
There was no fear of any hand spoiling their 
beauty. Even the child shrank back from 
spoils which must be gathered at such a cost. 
So the thistle perfected its seeds, and by-and-
by a strong east wind sprang up and scat-
tered the airy fleet far and wide. Away 
sped a troop of them, on wings of down, over 
the farmer's choice grain-field, settling down 
finally in comfortable quarters, where the 
soil was richest and likely to bring forth the 
greatest harvest. Now they trooped in a 
gay procession through the palings, which 
surrounded the garden, nestling down by the 
side of roses and lilies and gentle violets, giv-
ing promise of most undesirable neighbors. 
Here a little child's breath was sufficient to 
to speed them on, as he danced along the 
dusty highway. Now they hovered irreso-
lutely over the river, and finally they touched 
the surface lightly, to be borne still further 
onward to a new resting place. Some seeds 
were lost, indeed, but enough were sown 
broadcast to reap a harvest a hundred fold. 
What an emblem of our careless words is 
thistle-down ! What evil seeds they sow 
wherever they fall ! We little know what 
soil is ready to receive them, nor what harm 
they may do, even long after our heads are 
laid low. "Bury my influence with me," 
was was the remorseful cry of a dying man. As 
well might we try to recall the seeds which 
the winds of heaven have scattered. Did 
you ever reflect that a little jest on a Scrip-
ture text, a sneering remark on one of 
Christ's followers, a thoughtless criticism on 
a religious discourse, may be the means of 
ruining a soul ? That is the fruit which 
such seed-sowing too often bears. Truly 
"life and death are in the power of the 
tongue." 
The thistle-seeds are sometimes lost, but 
no idle word have we ever spoken but we 
shall one day meet again and "give an ac-
count thereof." "If any man offend not in 
word, the same is a perfect man."-S. S. 
Times.

The ship Anna Schmidt, which was de-
stroyed by the Alabama off the coast of 
South America, had on board a quantity of

Ayer & Co., now appeal for redress direct to 
the British government, as claim for payment 
and protection on the ground of humanity,

which characterize the operations of these

THE HAPPY COMBINATION.-There is 
nothing purer than truth, nothing sweeter 
than charity, nothing warmer than love 
nothing brighter than virtue, and nothing 
more steadfast than faith. These united in 
one mind form the purest, sweetest, richest, 
brighest, holiest and most enduring happi-
ness. A study of Paul's advice to the Phil-
ippian Christians (Phil. 4: 8)will serve to 
beget and strengthen these graces in the soul. 
JUDAH'S LION-SHEET MUSIC. 
Dear Bro. Litch :-Bro. Robinson in his 
"first journey," refers to our convention at 
Poultney as a very small affair. I think he 
gives a wrong impression and does us injus- 
tice. He says but thirteen were present. 
Had he been there Friday, Saturday and 
Sunday, especially in the evenings, he would 
have seen a crowded house, and on Sunday 
many could not get into the house for want 
of room. Bro. R. should have added, while 
saying it was the first day of the meeting, 
that the delegates had not arrived. So _far 
from being a failure, our convention was a 
complete success. 
I cannot 'believe that Bro. R. intended to do 
us an injury ; if so I have been much mis-
taken in his character ; for I have always 
esteemed him for his true missionary spirit. 
But I do feel that his remarks lack Christian 
kindness towards us as fellow-laborers for 
Jesus. All he has said about the meeting is 
in such a disparaging way that I drop this 
note to those sisters who want to know if our 
meeting was a failure, to say that it 
not. 
As to Bro. R.'s opinion about females be- 
ing called to preach, he has his views, we 
have ours, and think we have the strongest 
side. He says women preachers mostly run 
down and run out and the people get tired 
of them. Perhaps so, but I have heard of 
congregations so tired of their male pastor 
that they have been willing to give him a 
year's salary to get rid of him. 
Does Bro. R. think it was because he 
aimed at what Paul forbids ? Yours still

OUR COUNTRY'S 
COUNTRY'S GREATNESS.-The great-
est cataract in the world is the Falls of Ni-
agara, where the waters, accumulated from 
the great upper lakes, fbrming a river three-
quarters of a mile in width, are suddenly 
contracted and plunged over the rocks in two 
columns, to the depth of one hundred and 
sixty feet. 
The greatest cave in the world is the 
Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, where one can 
make a voyage on the waves of a subterra-
nean river, and catch fish without eyes. 
The greatest river in the world is the Mis-
sissippi, four thousand one hundred miles in 
length. Its name is derived from an Indian 
word meaning "the Father of' Waters." 
The largest valley in the world is the val-
ley of the Mississippi. It contains five hun-
dred thousand square miles, and is one of 
A WEALTHY CHURCH. 
If money were all that is needed to prop-
agate a particular form of faith, then cer-
tainly the Episcopalians might be reckoned 
as in a fair way to become "the leading sect" 
in the land. A single church of theirs alone 
is to be rich enough soon to "buy out" near-
ly all the rest of us. We refer to Trinity 
church, New York. As is generally known, 
that church owns a large portion of the low-
er part of that city. The lots number 661, 
and were all leased before the revolution. 
They are all covered by buildings, and as 
the leases will expire in a few years and re-
1 vert to the church, with the buildings, it is 
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, & 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 Dyspepsia for 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 rn.7self 
cured. But I am going away into a distant State upon 
a visit, and I dart 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 stated. 
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 
evidence 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 
wits professional visits of physicians, is but as a drop in 
the bucket, while if you are poor and needy, we d 'ubt 
not the Messrs. Clark & 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 from 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 abous 
sitting in a draft of air, especially when in a perspire:-
tion. Should you. however, by carelessness or mister-
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 twosince 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 leaders, 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.-

- symptoms are often the pre-
lude to serious illness. Some 
fit og 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 activity, 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 effeot 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. 
Ayer's Cure. 
For the speedy and certain Cure of intermittent Fe-
ver, or Chills and Fever, Remittent Fever, Chill Fe-
ver, Dumb Ague, Periodical Headache or Bilious 
Ilcadache, and Bilious Fevers ; indeed, for the 
whole class of diseases originating in biliary de-
rangement, caused by the malaria of miasmic coun-
tries. 
This remedy has rarely failed to cure the severest 
cases of Chills and F*'er, and it has this great advant-
age over other Ague medicines, that it subdues the 
complaint without injury to the patient. It contains 
no quinine or other deleterious substance, nor does it 
produce quintsm or any injurious effect whatever. 
Shaking brothers of the army and the west, try it and 
you will endorse these assertions.

ECHOES FROM A ROMAN PRISON. 
While travelling in the south of Eu-
rope some time ago, I stood at the base 
of one of those giant mountains whose 
summits are clothed with glacier and 
perpetual snow. A Swiss peasant was 
near, with his long Alpine horn that 
rested on two wooden props. Applying 
his lips to the rude instrument, he 
wound from it a few notes of the musi-
cal scale, .which made but little impres-
sion on the listener. A moment or two 
elapsed, and then I was entranced ; for 
above me, far away among the icy pin-
nacles, those artless sounds were con-
verted into chords of exquisite harmony. 
The melodious echoes-I can compare 
them to nothing but the aerial sympho-
nies of colossal musical glasses--seemed 
to sweep in circles among the heights. 
They rang out again, and again, and 
again, and again, lingering still amid 
precipice and peak ; then gradually 
softening, they became fainter and faint-
er, and so died away. 
The incident may be recalled in con-
nection with those epistles which Paul 
indited from Rome. When, under the 
breathing of the Holy Spirit, these were 
composed, the apostle was a captive 
and in prison, chained to a soldier that 
kept him, or otherwise in bonds. 'The 
words, dictated or written by him, 
made little impression at the spot. The 
letters of Paul the prisoner, Jew, and 
Christian, were matters of no interest 
in Rome. The man himself was be-
neath the regard of philosopher, orator, 
poet, or senator, in the imperial city. 
But if Paul's words at the time were of 
small account in the place where they 
were uttered, we have only to wait for 
a short season, to learn their marvelous 
effects elsewhere. The voice from the 
prison stirred the hearts of a multitude 
in Ephesus, Colosse, and Philippi ; 
thereafter it found its echo in all the 
cities of early christianity ; the rever-
beration has rolled onward during all 
succeeding centuries, wherever the epis-
tles have made their way ; and now 
the results are more wonderful than 
ever, as the circulation of the Scriptures 
advances throughout the globe. 
The harmony awakened by the Al-
pine horn among the Swiss mountains 
were reverberations c,f sound : but the 
echoes evoked by the voice of the Ro-
man prisoner are of another character ; 
they form the harmonies of faith, hope, 
and love ; of gratitude, self-denial, and 
fidelity to Jesus; of elevated affection, 
heroic action, and holy life, on the part 
of the multitude that no man can num-
ber, of all, nations, and kindreds, and 
peoples, and tongues.-Rev. A. H. AS'077G-

THE INTRODUCTION OF

To the suffering Humanity of this Age, 
Has Relieved More Pain, and caused more Real Joy than any other Thing that can be Named. 
Ayer's Pills 
in school at Sierra Leone. The early 
death of this boy had its effect in releas-
ing his friends from any hope of advan-
tage to him, by completing their bar-
gain with the colonists. The agents, 
with this native boy, set sail on the 14th 
of April to return to Freetown, much 
encouraged by the promising aspect of 
affairs. 
The schooner having arrived off the 
south-eastern mouth of Sherbro Sound, 
Mr. Bacon essayed by open boat to pass 
up the sound and call upon the colonists 
left at Yonie, in which attempt he suc-
ceeded, after the boat had nearly been 
swamped by the breakers on the bar at 
the entrance of the sound. Looking into 
their condition and encouraging them 
with prospects of an early removal to a 
final and better location, he returned to 
the schooner, and, after a short passage, 
arrived at Sierra Leone. He found Mr. 
Winn and the late emigrants, together 
with some who had made their way 
thither from Sherbro, comfortably quar-
tered near by, at. a place called Fourah 
Bay. Hearing that his wife was sick 
at Regentstown, he proceeded at once to 
her, and found her prostrated with the 
fever. She continued to decline, and 
early in May Mr. Bacon, tried by anxi-
ety on her account, began to yield to 
the approaches of the same disease. 
Finding his wife's and his own health 
still declining„he determined to return 
to the United States. Accordingly he 
arranged with Mr. Winn to have the 
colonists removed as early as possible 
to the tract he with Mr. Andrus had se-
lected and bargained for at Bassa Cove 
-an arrangement subsequently super-
seded by the purchase of land at Cape 
Mesurado. The brig Nautilus having 
sailed some time previously, Mr. Bacon 
took passage in a schooner bound for 
Barbados, and thence came home, arriv-
ing with Mrs. Bacon in August, 1821. 
The Rev. Mr. Andrus, as might have 
been expected, was deeply interested in 
the people he had seen, and desirous of 
remaining among them to preach the 
gospel. He declined, therefore, to return 
home, but giving free course to his long 
restrained missionary spirit, determined 
to devote the remainder of his life to the 
welfare of the natives. This conclusion 
had not long been formed and acted 
upon, ere his constitution began to suc-
cumb to the malaria of the country. He 
was taken ill at Sierra Leone, about the 
middle of July, and, after a severe con-
flict with the fever, began to rally. 
Hopes were entertained, for a time, of 
his recovery ; but, suffering a relapse, 
he rapidly sunk, and died on the 27th 
of July, 1821. He was buried in the 
church-yard at Sierra Leone, his body 
awaiting the resurrection summons in a 
land where his ardent and unintermit- 
tcethe-evangelization of the 
heathen would have it _arotised to meet 
or at us coming. Of his col- 
leagues, Mr. and Mrs. Winn soon fol-
lowed him to the grave, the former dy-
ing on the 25th and the latter on the 
31st of August. Mr. Wiltberger sur-
vived, and remained for several months 
upon that coast. 
With Mr. Andrus, died the first cler-
gyman of the American Episcopal 
church to offer himself for the foreign 
missionary work, and although he died 
just at the threshold of his hopes and 
wishes, yet his young life was fruitful 
of blessed consequences. His memory 
is honored by a resolution of respect re-
corded on the minutes of the Coloniza-
tion Society. Its Report of 1822 says : 
"The Rev. J. R. Andrus, the first agent 
of the American Colonization Society, 
whose devotion to its interests, and la-
bors in its service had been marked with 
singular disinterestedness and integrity, 
after a short illness, and when it was 
supposed that he had overcome the vio-
lence of the disease, suddenly died on 
the 27th of July, 1821. 
Not long after the departure from 
Norfolk of this last expedition, the Col-
onization Society sent out Dr. Ayres, 
who reached Sierra Leone to find Mr. 
Wiltberger remaining, and able to pros-
ecute the business of the colony. The 
sloop-of-war Cyane was still upon the 
coast, under command of Captain R. 
F. Stockton. He, with Dr. Ayres, im-
mediately renewed the attempt to nego-
tiate for a tract of land, and were suc-
cessful in making the purchase of Cape 
Mesurado. While they were thus en-
gaged, Mr. Wiltberger had been sent 
with the schooner Augusta to bring 
away the people and stores from Yonie, 
on Sherbro Island. The voyage, though 
short, acted most favorably upon an im-
paired state of health, and was probab-
ly the means of Mr. Wiltberger's escape 
from the fatal effects of the acclimating 
fever. These people, with those at 
Fourah Bay, were removed, as soon as 
arrangements could he completed, to 
the Cape, and they began early in Aug-
ust to lay out a town and build houses, 
which settlement they called Monrovia, 
in honor of James Monroe, President of 
the United States.-Episcopal Recorder.

PAIN KILLER, 
 
Taken internally should be adulterated with milk or water, and sweetened with sugar, if desired ina.de into a 
syrup with molasses. For a COUGH and BRONCHITIS, a few drops on sugar, eaten, will be more effective 
than anything else. For SORE THROAT, gargle the throat with a mixture of Pain Killer and water, and the 
relief is immediate and cure positive. 
Grit should not be forgotten that the Pain Killer is equally as good to take internally as to use externally. 
Each bottle is wrapped with full directions for its use.

EARLY HISTORY OF LIBERIA. 
HIGHLY IMPORTANT! 
LET THE AFFLICTED READ, 
These instruments are conceded by musical connois-
seurs to be unrivalled by any other of their general 
class, whether European or American. A recent num-
ber of the Leipsic Signals, the leading musical journal 
of Germany, admits their superiority. 
For ender sement of the superiority of these instru-
ments the manufacturers refer with confidence to the 
most eminent organists and artists generally of New 
York and other principal cities. 
The attention of those desiring very elegant furni-
ture is invited to several new styles, just finished. De-

On the 22d of March the schooner 
was ready for departure, and Mr. Bacon, 
for the government, and Mr. Andrus, 
for the society, went on board, leaving 
Messrs. Winn and Wiltberger to attend 
to the unloading of the brig and the re-
moval of the Sherbro colonists, should 
that be judged expedient. This -expe-
dition was deemed somewhat hazardous, 
as the schooner was illy armed and while 
it was thought advisable to make no 
demonstration of force, still it was well 
known that many a bloody deed had 
been perpetrated upon mariners along 
the benighted coast. The voyagers pro-
ceeded to the southward, keeping well 
off the land for six days, when they 
reached the neighborhood of Cape Mes-
urado, about three hundred miles from 
Freetown. This place was subsequently 
purchased, and the town of Monrovia, 
the capital of Liberia, located there.

A QUARTER OF A CENTURY! 
IMPORTANT 
TO ALL INVALIDS. 
the Cape -, the explorers found the low 
and marshy seaboard disappeared in a 
great measure; the forest trees were 
more elevated, and the water generally 
good. These appearances indicate in 
tropical climates the absence of the 
most formidable causes of disease. 
While here, the agents saw a schooner 
with the French flag lying off the coast, 
and, by her movements, evincing an in-
tention to run in and take on board a 
cargo of slaves. This trade was a great 
obstacle to the plans of the colonists, as 
it indisposed the natives to permit' the 
location of a settlement among them. 
The agents communicated with the peo-
ple on shore, and endeavored to open a 
consultation with the chief men. But 
the head man, called King Peter, re-
fused to receive them, as he did not 
know their character or business, though 
generally the natives are anxious to re-
ceive missionaries and teachers, when 
they know them to be such. Accord-
ingly, Messrs. Bacon and Andrus direct-
ed the schooner to proceed further down 
the coast to Grand Bassa, some fifty 
miles distant. They soon arrived, and 
anchored opposite the mouth of the St. 
John's river. Early on Monday morn-
ing, the 2d of April, the natives put out 
in canoes bringing fowls, fish, oysters, 
palm oil, and native wine, with tropi-
cal fruits, to trade for tocacco, pipes, 
beads, and similar articles. 
Here the agents went ashore to ex-
amine into the character of the country, 
and to bring about a palaver with the 
principal men, if possible. They took 
with them for a guide a Krooman, by 
name Bottle Beer, and this man trans-
ported them across the river, when they 
desired to cross, by carrying them, one 
at a time, upon his shoulders from bank 
to bank. In this region they passed 
about two weeks, studying the nature 
of the country and its resoures, and 
holding communications with the neigh-
boring kings and head men in reference 
to a purchase of land. While here, Mr. 
Andrus showed symptoms of fever, 
which happily in a day or two abated. 
The agents were much pleased with the 
country, finding there fine sheep and 
goats, a luxuriant vegetation, and the 
people well disposed toward their pro-
ject. They concluded a bargain for the 
purchase of a tract of" land from the 
kings, which they subsequently evaded 
on account of their suspicion of its effect 
upon the slave trade. However, under-
standing the arrangements to be com-
!tete, the agents concluded to return, 
taking with them a son of one of the 
kings as security for the final fulfilment 
of the contract, they, on their part, 
promising to care for him and plaCe him

Iron as a medicine 
is well-known, and acknowledged by all medical men. 
The difliculy has been to obtain such a preparation of 
it as will enter the circulation and assimilate at once 
with the blood. This point, says Dr Haynes, Massa-
chusetts State Chemist, bus been attained in the Pe-
ruvian Syrup, by a combination in a way before un-
known. 
THE PERUVIAN SYRUP 
is a PROTECTED solution of the PROTOXIDE 
OF IRON, A NEW DISCOVERY IN MEDI-
CINE that strikes at the Root of the Disease by sup-
plying the blood with its vital Principle of Life Ele-
ment-IRON. 
THE PERUVIAN SYRUP 
cures Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Dropsy, Fever and 
Ague, Chronic Diarrhoea, Loss of Energy, Low Spirits. 
THE PERUVIAN SYRUP 
cures Nervous affections, Female Complaints, Scrofula, 
Boils, Scurva, and all diseases of the Kidneps and 
Bladder. 
THE PERUVIAN SYRUP 
is a SPECIFIC for all diseases originating in a BAD 
STA7'E 0 THE BLOOD, or accompanied by De-
bility or a low state of the system. 
TO ALL THE WEAK, THE WORN AND THE WEARY. 
The following voluntary testimony is from the Bos-
ton Recorder of August 12, 1864 : 
"The Peruvian Syrup is one of the few advertised 
medicines which is worthy of notice, and a personal 
trial of it for many years has shown us that it pos-
sesses all the qualities claimed by its proprietors. As 
a tonic in cases of impaired health or weakened con-
stitutions it has nei- superior._ Unlike most tonics and 
Bitters, it is entirely free from alcohol, and therefore 
its energizing effects are not followed by corresponding 
reaction. It will_ be found far superior to wine or 
brandy in all eases where these have been prescribed 
for weakness and debility. The certificates of Dr. 
Hayes, State Assayer of Massachusetts, and of Dr. 
Chilton, the celebrated chemist ef New York, agreed 
that there is in its composition no mineral and vegeta-
ble poison, or objectionable substance whatever. lts 
principal ingredient is a salt of' the Protoxide of Iron, 
so combined and protected as to form a durable and 
brofitable medicine. We can most unhesitatingly 
recommend it to all the weak, the worn, and the 
weary. We make these remarks voluntarily, and of 
our own prompting, having richly experienced its 
benefits." 
Thous'ands have been changed by the use of this 
remedy from weak, sickly, miserable creatures, to 
strong, healthy and happy men and women, and in-
valids cannot reasonably hesitate to give it a trial. 
Pamphlets containing certificates of cures, and rec-
omendations of some of the most eminent Physicians, 
Clergymen and others, will be sent free to any ad-
dress.

YOUR LIFE! 
"Do you want any berries, ma'am ?" 
said a little boy to a lady one day. 
The lady told him she would like 
some; and taking the pail from him, 
she stepped into the house. He did not 
follow, but remained behind, whistling 
to sonic canaries hanging in their cages 
on the porch. 
"Why do you not conic in and see if 
I measure your berries right'?" said the 
lady: "how do you know but •what I 
may cheat you ?" 
"I am not afraid,'' said he : "you 
would get the worst of it, ma'am." 
"Get the worst of it !" said she, 
'what do you mean?" 
"Why, ma'am, I should only lose my 
berries, aed you would be stealing : 
don't you think you would get the 
worst of it ?"

THOUGHTS ON HEALTH. 
e devote a portion of our space this morning to a 
few suggestions upon health and its attendant 
blessings. 
Whilst the country is sending forth her sturdy sons 
to the defense of our liberties, is becomes us to admon-
ish our readers, both old and young, that they should 
be extremely cautious about their health and strength, 
that they may be able to till the soil, gather in the 
harvests, and provide for the necessities of those left at 
home who are helpless and without adequate means of 
support. Probably no one class of disease has pro-
duced more suffering, sorrow and death, than that 
which is commonly called dyspepsia. It seeks its vic-
tims not only among the feeble and delicate, but in the 
work-shops, upon the farm, in the count
ing-room, 
and in fact in every vocation of life. It grapples 
the hardy mechanic, and after a few days entirely de-
prives him of his strength and ambition, and makes 
him depressed in spit it, indisposed to labor, and final-
ly reduces him to a helpless invalid. 
The sturdy farmer who has grown strong and mus-
cular as he labors in the parched fields, burnt by the 
scorching heat of the summer's sun, dreams not that 
disease can penetrate the shield of? health that now 
protect, him, and would laugh ire derision at him who 
should intimate that he were in danger of the ravages 
of the Dyspepsia King. 
But alas, the messenger that announced his coining 
and his presence, callcth not at the subject's bidding, 
nor as a welcome guest in his household. Almost 
like a thief does he steal unawares upon his victim. 
First the appetite is gone ; no disposition or anxiety 
to partake of nourishing food, and what is taken is fol-
lowed by the most distressing pains, and sours and rises 
upon the stomach. The bowels become debilitated, 
constipation holds them in an abnormal condition. 
Sick-headache, heart-burn, cramps, colic pains, weari-
ness, complete depression, and finally every vestige of 
energy and strength are gone, and our sturdy, impreg-
nable yeoman yields in despair to his fate. 
This is no fancy-picture which we have painted. It 
is an every-day occurrence, and the more lamentable 
on account of its frequency. Hundreds and thousands 
of all ages and all classes yearly die victims to infirmi-
ties which have their origin in a diseased condition of 
the stomach and bowels, most of which come under the 
general head of Dyspepsia. 
It has often appeared to us that a preparation which 
would meet the wants and be a certain and positive 
arrester of this dypeptie 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 aed alcoholic beverages, all recommended as 
splendid tonics, of great medicinal value, and com-
pounded cf a hundred different barks and roots, pre-
served in fine 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- 
Forty thousand negroes have learned to 
read and write since the rebellion broke out.
