these dark depths of thought, into which 
speculation has only recently penetrated, the 
pure and antique clearness of centuries less 
learned than ours, but with more light in 
them One must never quit sight of 
realities, and one must employ his expres-
sions simply as media—as glasses through 
which one's thoughts can be best made evi-

But while the preacher should make in-
struction and argumentative conviction the 
staples of his discourses, and should. not 
shrink from being profound, for fear of prov-
ing dull—provided always that lie is clear 
—yet he should avoid introducing into the 
sphere of logic that which belongs to the 
sphere of pure sentiment, or which may be 
safely left to the intuitions or to the relig-
ious instincts of his hearers. Here again 
Joubert says truly, "It is not hard to know 
God, provided one will not force one's self 
to define him. Do not bring into the do-
main of reasoning that which belongs to our 
innermost feeling. State truths of sentiment, 
and do not try to prove them. There is a 
danger in such proof ; for in arguing, it is 
necessary to treat that which is in question 
as something problematic ; now that which 
we accustom ourselves to treat as problem-
atic, ends by appearing to us as really doubt-
ful."

as! 
lem, Jerusalem ; how often would I have 
gathered thee as a hen gathereth her chick- 
ens under her wings." There ought to be 
no off-hand - speaking for Christ. All our 
speaking ought to be accompanied with gen- 
tleness or kindness. If anybody ought to be 
humble it is a pardoned sinner, especially a 
pardoned sinner sent to speak to others. 
On the other side of "goodness" there are 
faith and meekness. We must have an eye 
that looks within the veil—that sees the 
everlasting hell to which sinners are hasten-
ing, that sees the worm that never dies, and 
the fire that never shall be quenched. We 
must see the glory that ;s to be revealed and 
the blessedness of those who have realized it, 
that we may tell them of it. 
We must have this faith personally for 
ourselves, we must have an eye on the crown, 
that we may work all the more unceasingly. 
"Meekness" is another inseparable fruit, and 
this meekness means a submitting to God's 
will, whatever that may be. Moses was not 
less meek when he- stood before Pharaoh and 
said with determination, "NOt an hoof shall 
be left behind," than he was when he tended 
Jethro's sheep: He was doing God's will in 
both cases, and this is meekness— a falling its 
with God's will. 
A worker must be prepared to let God 
take his own way. All God's people on 
looking back'" ontheir 'past. life must say, 
"What an amount of uselessness and rubbish 
has been mixed with my work, because I did 
not do. it. . conscientiously in the name of 
Jesus." • 
Now, for the encouragement of such, let 
me ask you, "When you pray, do you always 
do so explicitly in the name of Jesus ?" You 
will probably answer that though not. in so 
many words, yet implicitly you do so. So 
with your work substantially : yet, alas ! a 
great deal of the flesh mingles with our 
work. We do a great deal in our own spirit 
from fleshly motives. Perhaps it is pleasant 
at times to speak fbr Jesus, and we are car-
ried away with the pleasant view, instead of 
having the Lord's glory and compassion for 
souls as our ruling motives. Like Nehe-
miah, we ought to pray, "Remember me, 0 
my God, for good." 
When we have done our work it is only 
on act of faith to lay it on the golden altar, 
which sanctifieth the gift. Let us seek to 
use our joy for the furtherance of the work 
of God, and seek to get this token that we 
have God's joy as a seal to our work. Let 
this joy be the token to us at the close of 
each day, that we have done the work in 
his name. 
unbelief. Thus joy is at the beginning, joy 
and peace in believing. It is with joy God 
would have us begin, in joy He would have 
us continue to the end. If this be true, it is 
plaits that joy is not merely what so many 
call it, a luxury ; it is a necessity. Yet in 
how many an age has the Church treated it 
as the former, nay, almost forbidden it. As 
I remember one long ago said to me, "Do 
you think it right for any sinner to be happy 
here ?" I said, "Do you think there is any 
religion in being unhappy ?" Joy is time 
meat and drink of the Christian life. Joy is 
a quickening thing. It imparts fresh life 
with every fresh wave which it rolls over 
the soul. True joy is a sanctifying thing. 
There is nothing so sanctifying as true joy, 
joy in God, joy unspeakable and full of 
glory. True joy is a liberating thing. You 
cannot be free so long as sorrow binds you. 
You are not free to work, you are not free 
to fight, you are not free to run the race, you 
are not free to do anything for God aright. 
Joy comes in, and like the breath of spring, 
melts the ice and liberates the soul. There-
fore it is a necesssity, not a luxury. As such 
the Church should regard it.. True joy is a 
strengthening thing. It nerves a man. 
When depressed, he cannot work. Joy 
strengthens. A man can do anything when 
he is full of joy ; he can surmount any diffi-
culty. The joy of the Lord is our strength.' 
Dear brethren, it is in this joy the Lord 
would have us always abide. Pray for joy. 
Don't think it selfish to do so. Pray. for joy. 
for'YOni-Selves. Pray for joy for the Church 
of God. Pray that the Christians of our 
day maybe a joyful company, reflecting as 
they pass through the world the sunshine of 
heaven.

There is a vein of practical wisdom here 
that the preacher will do well to study. 
While argument is the strength of sermon- 
-remember that they do not love it yet, 
and, to make them love it, take heed to 
speak with power. A living sermon must 
have in it much of the preacher's own life. 
How forcible is this saying : 'The talent of 
Racine is in his works, but Racine himself is 
not there. That is why he himself became 
disgusted with them.' The preacher should 
keep self out of his sermons, but should put 
him-self into them.— Congregationalist. 
LETTER FROM BRO. CHAPMAN. 
••...411111.- 
ITALIAN MISSION. 
"Oh that Thou wouldst read the heavens," 
etc. This was Israel's prayer in former ages 
for Messiah's coming. And when He saith, 
"Surely I come quickly," we respond, "Even 
so come, Lord Jesus." "When Thou didst 
terrible things which we looked not for"— 
that is, in Egypt and the wilderness—"Thou 
earnest down," etc. But look especially at 
verse 5 as more especially connected with 
our subject : "Thou meetest him that re-
joiceth and worketh righteousness. "Thou 
meetest," comest near, comest to have fellow- 
ship, comest so as to be fatniliar with. You 
know our natural condition is one of dis- 
alike. We are not near, but far off. This 
state of distance is what the natural heart 
delights in—distance from God, dislike at 
the thought of heaven. This love of distance 
we find manifested throughout Scripture in 
various instances, as in Adam basting to hide 
from God. We find it symbolized in the 
prodigal son. Distance from his father and 
his father's house wasswIrss- 
idea of iss'."(IshiP comes not from us, but 
from God. Such an idea would never have 
crossed the sinner's mind. But God, whose 
thoughts are not as ours, says, I will draw 
near, yea, I will meet with these sinners, 
these creatures of mine. I will come up, not 
as an enemy, but as a friend. I will come 
not to destroy, but to save. I will come up 
to their very side slid look in their face, and 
speak as a man, face to face. I will send 
my only-begotten Son as my representative 
to show how near I mean to come, as near 
as the Creator can come to the creature, so 
that the gulf shall not remain ; it shall not 
only be filled up, but the result shall be a 
nearer connection than before, closer than 
Creator and creature, so close that nothing 
can represent it, but my only begotten Son 
taking their flesh and becoming one with 
them. Such shall be the issue, a greater 
oneness, a greater nearness than before. "I 
will meet with thee." The prophet knew to 
whom he was speaking. He looks up and 
says, "Thou meetest him than rejoiceth." 
He knew what it was to be on most intimate 
terms with Him. As it used to be said of a 
good old minister, he was "intimate with 
God ;" and regarding another, one remarked 
that he liked to clear that man pray, for he 
seemed acquainted with God. So that there 
is no longer alienation but nearness, inter-
change of thought and feeling. Mark the 
expression, "Thou meetest him that rejoiceth 
and worketh," not "worketh and rejoiceth." 
This then is the condition in which God 
comes up to man. He meets him as one 
who, through the gospel, has come to rejoice 
in God Himself. 
Then, says some one, That makes it next 
to impossible to be brought near. Brethren 
were the gospel such that it interposed any, 
time between my hearing and believing 
there would be force in this argument ; but 
there is no such interval spoken of ; there-
fore God meets me on my believing his joy-
giving testimony. Are there any here who 
are thus desponding ? I say there is no 
reason why any of you should not to-day 
thus meet with Him who has come down 
from heaven to meet with you. He pro-
claims his gospel. He says, "I meet with 
every one who will take the joy my gospel 
contains. I cannot meet with one who re-
jects my gospel, who refuses the testimony 
regarding my Son, but I am ready to meet 
with any sinner, even the chief; who will 
take the joy my gospel is fitted to give.' 
Does not this ring you face to face with 
God ? All that is wanted is that you give 
up the unbelief which separates you from 
Him, and repels Him when He draws nigh 
to you. There is not the shadow of a dis-
tance save what is made by the evil heart of 
WORKING.—BY REV. ANDREW BONAR. 
All work for God is the result of pardon 
No soul can work for God previous to par-
don. Polluted bands, polluted hearts, can 
do nothing for God. Till a sinner is plunged 
in the fountain of Christ's blood, he never 
does the act pleasing to God. Augustine 
spoke not too strongly when he called the 
deeds of unconverted men, however good or 
lovely in the eyes of the world, "splendid 
sins" in the sight of God. There may be 
amiable deeds in social life, benevolent acts 
for fellow-citizens, brave exploits for his 
country, but they are glittering sins. The 
man would do anything for men, but will 
not lift a thought of love to God, and his 
goodness is but sin, and all the worse for 
having such a polish on it. 
There remained' a rest for the people of God, 
And the dawn of that day is at hand, 
When Zion shall rise from the moss-covered sod, 
To dwell in that heaven-blest land ; 
The land that by promise to Abram was given, 
Which he and his seed should receive : 
As he wandered abroad, as an exile is driven, 
In faith yet the promise believed. 
The land where the prophets and fathers have died, 
Where the holiest of men have been slain ; 
Where Israel once dwelt, in her glory and pride, 
In the days of King Solomon's reign. 
On the hills and the plains, where the Saviour 
once stood, 
As the meek and th€1 low Nazarine, 
Where his blessings were poured on the vile and 
the good, 
Shall th,_ cloud of his glory be seen. 
Where the 
eothe horse and his rider bath vauntingly 
Where the soldier hath brandished his spear, 
As they mockingly taunted the blessed of God 
Shall the throne of his kingdom appear. 
By the green willow's shade, by the silvery tide, 
By the spray of the sea on the shore, 
Shall the good, of all ages immortal abide, 
When the days of their conflict are o'er. 
By the stately palm, by the Jordan's dark wave, 
Where the roses dispel their perfume, 
Shall the remnant of Zion, redeemed from the 
grave, 
Through the days of eternity bloom. 
And there 'neath theboughs of the evergreen trees, 
Where the waters are sweeping alonLr, 
By the shade of the cliff, where the tree of life 
grows, 
Shallthey chant their Millennial song. 
Then the songs of the birds shall in harmony 
blend, 
With the notes of the songs of the free, 
'Mid the glories of Eden that never shall and, 
When the days of Messiah shall be. 
Dear Bro. Litch :—My last was dated at' 
Springwater, N. Y., July 15th. The Sun-
day following was an interesting day with 
us. After preaching, two happy young con-
verts received baptism, and were added to 
the church, after which we bad a refreshing 
season at the Lord's table, and that closed 
my four weeks labor in that section. The 
Springwater church was much revived, and 
manifested suitable gratitude to God for a 
little timely help. There I took the cars, 
and went, via. Corning, to Binghamton S. E. 
150 miles, where I was happy to find Eld. J. 
B. Cook and family, with whom I spent the 
evening and night very pleasantly. Bro. C. 
is decidedly of the opinion that the coming 
of the Lord to "deliver his people," is right 
upon us, so that we are authorized to "look up, 
and lift up our heads." From "B.," I came 
a northerly direction by cars and stage, some 
40 miles to Oxford and Norwich, where I 
spent ten days visiting isolated Adventists at 
their several homes, and held a few evening 
meetings at private houses, by means of 
which we were enabled to "strengthen time 
things which remained." Went from "N." 
by private conveyance west, 15 miles to 
McDonough, where I spent three weeks 
very timely. It being a busy season of the 
year with farmers, and very sickly with all, 
we held but few meetings for public worship 
except Tuesday evenings and on the Sab-
bath, but visited much, and preached sever-
al funeral sermons. Bro. and sister Palmer, 
whose obituaries appeared in the Herald a 
few weeks since, were in perfect health when 
I arrived there, and we had an interesting 
meeting at their house that evening, (it be-
ing their usual evening for worship.) The 
next day "sister P." was violently attacked 
with dysentery. Sonic five days after "Bro. 
P." was taken down with the same fatal 
disease, and each expifed at the end of two 
weeks' suffering. But there is hope in their 
case, for "they manifestly sleep in Jesus," and 
such "will God bring with him." Although 
they "rest from their labors" the Advent 
church there has met with a great loss, for 
they were prominent and active members. 
Others were sorely afflicted with the same 
disease when I left. The friends considered 
it quite providential that I should be there 
just that time, and it does really seem so, for 
they needed sympathy, and the consolation 
which they received from the precious word. 
Our seasons of worship were very refreshing 
and the church was revived. From Mc-
Donough I went by stage and cars a north-
easterly direction, 30 miles to Homer, where 
and in the vicinity of which, I spent two 
weeks very industriously. Bro. Clapp be-
ing too feeble in health to preach even on 
the Sabbath. The brethren being hard drove 
in their business, and the members widely 
scattered, the Advent chapel for several 
weeks had been entirely abandoned. This 
being the state of things there, Bro. Clapp 
advised that we occupy time chapel only on 
the Sabbath, but that I visit the members at 
their respective homes. As most of them 
were my children in the Advent faith, I 
Every pardoned soul must work for God, 
by the necessity of his ,--- • 
to mention the amount or 
manner, but the fact—a pardoned soul must 
work. Some have more talents than others, 
therefore we cannot prescribe the exact mode 
of working ; but work for God there must 
be where the new nature exists. 
Cowper, the poet, the very week after his 
conversion, attended a meeting where he 
heard one of the worshippers sing so hearti-
ly that he wrote a friend, that he did bless 
that man for praising his God so well—and 
went home and began to write his hymns, 
which have been sung in all the churches 
ever since. 
A poor woman converted last winter was 
asked what she was doing for Christ. "I 
can do little," she said, "but one thing I do 
—every night I learn a text, and before we 
fall asleep I speak it into the ear of my un-
converted husband." This she did every 
night and prayed over it, and three months 
after he was in this way brought to the 
Lord. 
There are the two extremes—the talented 
man, and the illiterate woman. Find out 
what God would have you do, and do it. 
A pardoned soul is not sometimes, but 
ways working for God. A river does not 
run for a mile or two, but flows on and on, 
widening and widening till it is lost in the 
sea. So with the believer, he is always, 
daily, working for God ; sometimes by a 
visit, sometimes in the family, sometimes 
society, sometimes. by a letter, by personlill 
effort or self-denial, in one way or other he 
works till glory comes. 
If' you have not a feeling impelling you to 
work for God, ah ; I fear you have lost your 
eyesight, you need a fresh look at the cross. 
Work for God is the fruit of the Spirit. In 
Galatians 5 : 22, it is expressed by the word 
"goodness." This does not mean amiableness, 
but doing good. The Spirit teaches the soul 
to do good—just like the Master, who went 
about doing good. It was bowels of com-
passion that moved Him, and the life of the 
branch does as the vine did. 
Because it is a fruit of the Spirit it must 
be cultivated. Many things destroy fruit—
the frost of a single night may spoil a splen-
did crop. A single dance, a single song, a 
single novel, may destroy a believer's use-
fulness. Care, business, or bustle may de-
stroy it. 
Another thing, this "goodness" is as fruit 
on 'a branch—its neighbors are "long-suffer-
ing" and "gentleness" on the one side, and 
"faith" and "meekness" on the other. There 
is a class of working believers who are not 
long-suffering. They forsake a meeting after 
a fortnight's labor if they see no fruit. God 
was training them to long-suffering, but they 
grew weary of his discipline and turned 
away ; unlike Jesus, who cried, "0 Jerusa- 
readily acceeded to the proposition, and 
faithfully perfbrmed the task. During those 
two weeks, being in perfect health and good 
spirits, (with the exception of Sundays) I 
traveled on foot (on an average) full seven 
miles each day ; talked much and found it 
profitable. This served to bring the friends 
all to go there on the Sabbath, and being 
hungry they feasted on the word, and spoke 
freely after the preaching, reminding us of 
former days. Bro. Clapp, feeble as he was, 
ventured out and mingled with us in wor-
ship each Sabbath, which added much to the 
interest of our meetings. At the close of 
the second Sunday service we celebrated the 
Lord's Supper, in which they had not par-
ticipated since I was with them two years 
before. It was a precious season to most of 
us. Before they seperated, the leading mem-
bers resolved thereafter to meet at the chapel 
for social worship on the Sabbath, whether 
they have preaching or not. The Lord will 
I trust help them to keep the resolution to 
the day of his coming. 
From Homer I went by private convey-
ance a northerly direction, 20, miles to 
Marcellus, where I labored four weeks with 
considerable success in '63, while on my late 
tour to the "far west," and where no Advent 
preaching till then had been heard. As the 
fruits of that labor (as I then reported) sev-
eral precious souls were converted, three of 
whom received baptism at my hands, and 
about 30 having received the doctrine we 
taught entered into solemn covenant with 
each other to maintain a meeting for social 
worship every Saturday evening, and talk 
out their faith in these meetings till the 
Lord came. It being manifest to all that 
the Lord was with them, the Methodists and 
other Christian friends esteemed it a privi-
lege to come in and mingle with them in 
worship. In this way their congregation in-
creased in number to some fifty persons, and 
several souls were happily converted, and 
had expressed a wish for Bro. Chapman to 
return and baptize them, (for they desired 
immersion.) About this time "Uncle Phil-
lip (as they all call him) who had faithfully 
presided as a sort of class leader, was taken 
ill so that be failed to meet with them, and 
they selected one of theighodist brethren 
to take his place. For time 
time the meet- 
in:0,-s went on harmoniously, for allproifit'or!1_, 
 
to believe in the coming` 
those only who had it in their hearts talked 
it out. At length it was suggested to the 
converts, "As the Methodist church are all 
Adventists and believe in the coming of the 
Lord as you do, why not unite with them, 
and so all be of one fold." Most of these 
inocent lambs, apprehending no danger, con-
sented to the proposition, and had their 
names enrolled on the Methodist class book, 
and some of those even who had expressed a 
wish to be baptized, were persuaded to ac-
cept of sprinkling as a substitute. Not long 
after another important suggestion was made 
viz., "that no subject be brought up in our 
meetings in which all do not perfectly agree, 
as it would have a tendency to divide the 
church." That completed the work, for 
after this the subject of the soon coming of 
the Lord became a secondary matter, and 
was seldom aluded to in their meetings ex-
cept by a sister Smith and a few others who 
had Christian experience and wisdom enough 
to keep out of the "trap" or "snare." Jer. 5 
26. Finding this to be the state of things there 
on my late return to them, I was heart sick, 
and resolved to spend a day or two only with 
"sister Smith" and family, and then proceed 
on my journey home. But as soon as it was 
known in the neighborhood that "Bro. Chap-
man" had come, my 2 years old children (in 
the gospel,) and others flocked in to see me, 
and not withstanding the fatherly rebuke I 
gave them for the step they had taken, they 
urged me to stay and preach to them at least 
a few times. The school-house was procured' 
the people notified, and I complied with their 
request, and there I stayed, boldly advocat-
ing and defending the doctrines we hold, 
evenings, and on the Sabbath, for full three 
weeks, (our congregations were composed of 
Methodists, Spiritualists, Adventists and all 
sorts,) giving liberty as my custom is, for ex-
hortation or remarks after preaching. And 
the result was, all that had ever seen the 
truthfulness of the Advent doctrine were re-
vived, and more thoroughly confirmed in the 
faith than ever before, publicly confessed 
that "by withholding their views on that im-
portant subject they had backsliden and lost 
their first love ; and positively affirmed that 
for the future they would talk out their faith 
in the church, and on all proper occasions 
whether men heat or forbear." In thus say-
ing they were signally blest. Others for 
the first time confessed faith in the doctrines 
we taught, and several precious souls were 
converted to Chri-tianity and to the "blessed 
hope." Three of these received baptism at 
my hands, and "went on their way rejoicing." 
Acts 8 : 39. 
Before administering the ordinance, as is 
my custom, I gave a discourse on baptism, 
showing what it was, and what it symbolized, 
and that it was strictly a Christian ordinance. 
Quite a number of the Methodist members 
heard the discourse and witnessed the bap-
tism, one of who'll went three miles that day 
to see her minister, and to say to him that 
she was dissatisfied with her baptism, and to 
know if' he would immerse her, and if not 
I cannot lay aside that stimulating and 
fascinating book, "Arnold's Essays in Criti-
cism"—with which I have had many charm-
ing hours.—without gathering a few scraps 
of its wisdom and beauty for such as do not 
happen to possess the velume. Apart from , izing, it is possible to injure the impression 
-the pleasitre one has in the continual sparkle of a truth by over-arguing. Earnestness is 
necessary to conviction. "You who have to 
expound religion to the children of this 
world," writes Joubert, "ycu who have to

the clearness arid purity of his English. If perhaps, or which they would be glad to love 
ministers—especially those who are young 
enough and modest. enough to learn—would 
study the style of such writers as Dr. John 
Henty Newman and Professor Matthew 
Arnold, it would teach them to admire, and 
so help them to form, that simple, clear, di-
rect style, irr which- the thought always 
shines through the words. 
A few hints on style, gleaned from Ar-
nold's criticisms and translations, are worthy 
to be treasured as mottoes. They are mostly 
gems from writers little known—such as 
Joubert and .Maurice de Guerin—whom Ar-
nold introduces to us in his own easy and 
graceful way. Take this, for instance, from 
Guerin—his advice to his sister Eugjnie at 
the commencement of her literary career: 
"I want you to reform your system of com-
position ; it is too loose, too vague, too Lam-
artinian ; [capital, that !] your verse is too 
sing-song : it does not talk enough. Form 
for yourself a style of your own, which shall 
be your real expression. Study the French 
language by attentive reading, making it 
your care to remark constructions, turns of 
expression, delicacies of style, but without 
ever adopting the manner of any master. In 
the works of these masters we must learn 
our language, but we must use it each in our 
own fashion." 
So well did this sister profit by these coun-
sels, that Arnold says of her, "She resembles 
Pascal by the clearness and firmness of her 
intelligence, going straight and instinctively 
to the bottom of any matter she is dealing 
with, and expressing herself about it with 
incomparable precision ; never fumbling with 
what she has to say, never imperfectly seiz-
ing or imperfectly presenting her thought." 
Would that we ministers might learn the art 
of never fumbling with what we have to say 
upon the highest themes. Perhaps a lesson 
from Eug6nie de Gu6rin, as to the true 
source of clearness in religious writing, will 
help us. In answer to her brother's account 
of the pleasure and comfort something she 
has written gives a friend of his in affliction, 
she writes : "I' is from the cross that those 
thoughts come, which your friend finds so 
soothing, so unspeakably tender. None of 
them come from me. I feel my own aridity ; 
but I feel, too, that God, when he will, can 
make an ocean flow upon this bed of sand. 
It is the same with so many simple souls, 
from which proceed the n:ost admirable 
things ; because they are in direct relation 
with God, without false science and without 
pride." 
 
There are preachers who seem possessed 
with the notion that the pulpit has no func-
tion of philosophizing ; that doctrinal preach-
ing, or any preaching that demands close 
and profound thinking, should be eschewed ; 
and that the preacher should- aim always at 
a'present impression upon the sensibilities. 
I know not but the churches must endure a 
dispensation of "sensational preaching" before 
this fully cats be cured. But, in fact, there 
is nothing so native to the human mind as 
argument. It was his argumentative faculty 
that gave Mr. Lincoln such power wills the 
"plain people." And the same was true of 
Mr. Cobden in England. Story-telling wears 
out ; emotional excitements weary ; rhetori-
cal conceits pall upon common sense ; . but 
argument holds its own. The more strong, 
compact and profound an argument is, the 
better, provided always that it is clear, and 
is expressed in common words. On this 
point Joubert is admirable : "Be profound 
with clear terms and not with obscure terms. 
What is difficult will at last become easy ; 
but as one goes deep into things, one must 
still keep a charm, and one must carry into 
La Tour Palley, via Turin, Italig, Aug. 8, 1865. 
Dear Bro. Litch :—My occupation the 
last two weeks has been to exhort my dear 
Brn. and sisters Vaudois to be faithful to the 
grace given them, and walk in the light they 
have received, and to give lessons in Bible 
Theology to the young brethren of whom I 
have frequently written you, and last but 
not least, to write on the important subject 
of our faith to several noble persons of much 
influence, whose acquaintance I made in 
Germany, Bavaria, Saxony and Poland, 
.during my absence. Alany became inter-
ested, and desired more light, and having no 
publications to give them, I must do what I 
can by writing, to interest them in the study 
of the Scriptures, and make its doctrines 
plain to their understanding. Dear brethren, 
if truly we believe that Jesus is so soon com-
ing, we shall surely do all that is in our power 
to rouse our fellow creatures to a preparation 
for that momentous event. I consider the 
"Italian Mission" a European mission, and 
have front its commencement ; and in view 
of the vast field of labor before me, I feel 
called upon to be very active in this good 
work. I suppose this is the last report I 
shall write you from La Tour, at least for 
the present ; as I expect, Providence per-
mitting, to spend the fall and winter in 
Switzerland, near the lake of Newchatel, &c. 
I have already devoted more time to preach-
ing in this vicinity, than I expected when I 
came here, and I found during my journey in 
Switzerland, Germany, &c. . . such earnest 
calls for light, that I feel I cannot longer 
tarry here, but must preach this Gospel to 
'other cities, aye, countries also. 
sstSwitzerland is a free Republic. and will

among the Vaudois, his own people. lire 
Joseph Jones will labor in Tuscany unti 
quire keowledge,"and show great aptness in 
grasping the various branches to which they 
are put. In short, no matter how much 
prejudiced teachers may be when they enter 
on their work, in a short time they are com-
pelled to bear their testimony to the apti-
tude of the Africans to learn. They, so far, 
in all. parts of the country, have proved 
themselves to be the equals cf the whites in 
this respect. And, in addition to their suc-
cess in learning the rudiments of education, 
they are apt scholars in the school of Christ. 
W. T. MOORE. 
Sometime in the Spring we published a 
letter from Bro. W. T. Moore, a refugee 
from S. C., appealing for help. Several 
friends responded, and money was forwarded 
to him to Newburn N. C., and St. Louis Mo. 
But each time lie had removed before it 
reached him, and the money was returned. 
He writes again from Lexington Mo., and is 
in distressed circumstances, and wants help, 
especially clothing and bed clothes for the 
winter. In his last he refered us to Mr-
George H. Allen of N. Y., General agent of 
the American Union Commission who as-
sisted him when he was in that city. We 
have written Mr. Allen and received the 
following reply : 
.1. Litch, Esq., Dear Sir :—Your letter con-
cerning Mr. W. T. Moore, of' Cheraw S. C., 
was received this morning. Mr. Moore en-
tered our "Home for Refugees" in this city 
April 11, '65, and remained there with his 
family eleven days. Besides his wife, his 
family includes one grown daughter (25,) 
two sons, 15 and 12 years old, and two little 
girls 4 and 3 years old. We provided him 
food during his stay, and obtained govern-
ment transportation from New York to Iron 
Mountain, Mo. We gave him and his fami-
ly 30 garments, food for his journey, and 
about $10, in money. His business is that 
of an iron moulder. He is quite intelligent. 
He is most certainly a good, loyal man, and 
this is proved by the certificates of Union 
officers, he showed me, as well as independent 
outside testimony I have had since he left 
from persons who were formerly his neigh-
bors in South Carolina ; even some whose 
loyalty I had reason to question, spoke un-
hesitatingly of the sacrifices be had made on 
behalf of the Union, involving the loss of all 
his property. I have every reason to be-
lieve him to be not only a patriot, but a true 
Christian gentleman, and most cordially re-
commend him to your sympathy, as until the 
receipt of your letter I had not heard a word 
from him, and supposed he was doing well 
in his new location. I trust be may soon 
find good friends, and be in a position to use 
his labor to support his fitmily, for I believe 
him too high minded to rely upon others any 
longer than he can help doing so. He would 
undoubtedly be glad of any cast off whole 
garments, and you can judge by the ages of 
the persons above named a.t.iout what sizes 
would be needed. Money had better be 
sent to him by check or , money order. I 
think some of the express or transportation 
companies would transport the boxes free, or 
at least at a reduced price. Yours tries 
GEORGE H. ALLEN. 
We now invite donations of money or 
clothing in behalf of Bro. Moore. What is 
done, should be done immediately.

Said she must get EttA. tC. or tom 'o'ther 
minister to do it for her. Under the cir-
'dinitstatees, sire bring Vin, prominent sister he 
inaily consented to her request, and it will 
hot be strange if ,othets soon ask the same 
favor at his hands, A few evenings before 
our meetings closed, this minister came in, 
and by my request, offered the introductory 
prayer. He was very lengthy and asked for a 
great many things I knew the Lord would 
never grant. I had a free time that evening 
in preaching on the 7th of Dan., and then 
gave liberty for remarks as usual. The con-
verts and others were soon on their feet, re-
sponding to the discourse, and breathing out 
strong faith in the soon coming of their 
"blessed Lord." After several had spoken 
in this way, the Methodist minister rose 
and claimed that he too was an Adventist, 
and that all evangelical denominations were 
Adventists, looking for the second coming of 
the Lord, but he did not see why that should 
be made a subject of so much prominence, 
nor why we could not all work together, as 
we had formerly done, without dwelling so 
much on that particular subject. When he 
was through I made no immediate reply, 
-but encouraged others to speak ; and not 
only brethren, but sisters also, who were 
pretty well posted in the matter rose one 
after another, in quick succession, and spoke 
with life and animation, declaring their un-
wavering faith in the speedy coming of the 
Lord, showing the importance of proclaiming 
the doctrine, and the necessity of immediate 
preparation of heart to meet the event. In 
this way they occupied very near an hour, 
and it seemed that the whole story was told, 
and yet being "plaintiff in the case, I offered 
the closing plea," and dismissed the congre-
gation ; but before many had left the house, 
I inquired of the minister, for the imforma-
tion of the converts and others, what kind of 
an Aventist he was, and whether he did, or 
did not believe in the second personal coming of 
Christ? he quibbled raised several objections to 
the idea, and gave-us clearly to understand 
that he did not, but that it would be a spirit-
ual coming. I then examined him on the 
ressurrection of the righteous dead, whether 
they would have real bodies, walk and talk, 
eat and drink in their immortal state, he 
spurned the idea, and spoke as diminutively of 
the earth in its purified state being the teri-
tory of the kingdom, and final abode of the 
saints. When we had drawn all this out of 
him and exposed his Advent faith to the 
company who were waiting to hear, 
the weakest of the converts were prepared to 
question him and to show the absurdity of his 
views, so I steped back to give them an 
opportunity. They went into the subject 
understandingly, and held him there till 
about 11 o'clock. It was so masterly done, 
I very much doubt his seeking another op-
portunity to discuss the subject with them, 
nor have I any fear of these late converts 
being caught in the "snare" until that minis-
ter and his people cherish a different kind of 
Advent faith. One of the converts is an in-
dependent and very prominent young man ; 
his wife is quite inteligent, and with him in 
faith. They riasi.',2,e sess-ribed for the Advent

to swallow any solid food. By Friday

on the bus with us, anti who was a school-
teacher then, but now is a quarter-owner of 
la large dry-goods establishment, whose sales 
last year reached $330,000, leaving a fair 
profit. This man is C. R. Gallett, who took 
much pride in showing your corresipondent 
the principle places around the city. It is 
here at Portage that the Wisconsin River is 
tapped by a canal, and a part of the water 
empties into the Gulf of Mexico, and part 
into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. A visit to 
the old Forts shows them to be in a very 
dilapidated condition. The old block-house 
remaining is pierced for musketry above and 
below, and is now used, as are the magazines, 
for stables for cattle and swine. The roofs 
of all the buildings are now covered with 
moss, and, while looking over it, we can but 
think that while these have gone to ruin, 
others in the South have been built. And 
so it will be till the end of time, and until 
there is a renovating of the whole fabric on 
which we dwell. 
A short but pleasant ride brought us to 
Wyocena, where I stopped for the night, but 
did not rest. A sign-board said on it, "Ex-
change," and if they would follow it out in 
some particulars, they would receive a more 
liberal patronage. 
A ride, by private conveyance, of eight 
miles, over a rough and stony region, 
brought us to this place, where, a few years 
ago, here and the surrounding country was 
in a state of nature—now covered with an 
abundance of the richest golden harvests. 
To-day I have listened to a very able dis-
course by the Rev. Mr. Laurie, who believes 
there will always be hypocrites and disbe-
lievers in the Church of' Christ, who have in-
truded themselves within its pale. It was 
the case now, and had been for over eighteen 
hundred years. He was educated in an 
eastern college. He had a brother who has 
been a missionary to Syria, and who was the 
only surviving one out of five missionaries 
and their wives who went to that far-off land. 
He is the author of a religious work said to 
be an able production. 
I was shown many curiosities, such as 
parcels of the image of the idol of Nishroch, 
who was slain by the hands of his own sons, 
while worshipping before his false god in 
Nineveh, a small sample of which Mr. 
Laurie gave me. 
But I must close, hoping to be able to fur-
nish you some more items from another 
point next time. Let me add that this State 
has sufferdd from two terrible tornadoes re-
cently, the most severe being at Viroqua, 
Vernon Co., where not a vestige of anything 
remained, where the storm passed, killing. I 
think, sixteen outright, and wounding many 
more. Houses were totally demolished, and 
a general devastation spread over the coun-
try, and a sorrowful gloom over the people. 
Such whirlwinds are quite frequent in this 
western country. But let us hope we may 
never hear of another such a destroyer. 
At present I am under the roof of Dr. D. 
C. Strong, but shall soon depart.

of them, "Whosoever, therefore, shall break 
one of these least commandments, and shall 
teach men so, he shall be called the least in 
the kindom of heaven." v. 19. The sabbath 
is mentioned many times in the Gospels, and 
not the least intimation that it is different 
from what it was when God first declared 
it. Jesus did not abrogate, or destroy it; 
and Paul writes it many years after his con-
version, never once intimating any change, 
or that the obligation for its observance had 
ceased. Jesus never abolished the Sabbath, 
never intimated that the first day, or any day 
of the seven, should be kept in commemora-
tion of his resurrection ; and in every in-
stance, except one, where our English ver-
sion of the New Testsment reads first day of 
the week, it is the Greek, sabbaths; in the 
plural number. And some of the early 
translators have it sabbaths, or sabbath, re-
ferring to the seven sabbaths, occurring fr 
the Passover to the Pentecost. And tha 
the time alluded to in every instance, wh 
we read first day of the week, in the f 
Gospels, the Acts, and 1. Cor. I might 
duce other testimony in support of the s 
bath of the Lord, but I think this is s 
cient, at least for me. I find a comman 
a portion of time for a rest from labor, an 
find the particular day of that portion 
time, induced in that command, and I 
nothing setting that day aside, or substitut 
another in its stead, and I, therefore, buns 
and joyfully acknowledge the sabbath of 
seventh day of the week as God's sabbat 
and thereby commemorate his work of ere 
tion and rest, according to his appointmei 
and I therefore commemorate Jesus' wo 
and suffering, according to his appointmei 
and joyfully hope for the keeping of a sa 
bath yet to come, and for eternal life in ,J 
sus Christ, in the everlasting kingdom 
God. 
I will close this, with a quotation frc 
Dr. A. Clarke's Commentary. "That t 
sabbath is of lasting obligation may be re 
sonably concluded from its institution, a] 
from its typical reference. All allow th 
the sabbath is a type of that rest in glen 
which remains for the people of God. NS 
all types are intended to continue in full foil 
until the antetype, or thing signified tak 
place : consequently, the sabbath will contl 
ue in force, until the consumation of 
things."

Rev. T. W. Briggs, Superintendent of 
colored schools in North Carolina, under the 
direction of the American Missionary Asso-
ciation, writes : 
I had in my regiment several men w ho 
were called "preachers" by the colored peo-
ple, because they always took charge of their 
meetings, and exhorted a great deal, one 
of these was about fifty-five years old, with 
gray hair, and wrinkled face, and somewhat 
enfeebled constitution ; for he had been a 
hard-working, much-abused slave. He was 
very anxious to learn to read, and with great 
effort he made considerable progress in a 
short time. He had learned the alphabet, 
and was reading words of two r IA three let-
ters ; and one day as I sat by his side going 
over the words with him, and pointing out 
the objects which they stood for, we came to 
the word, written in large letters, "GOD." 
"That is the name of the Being you preach 
about sometimes," said I. 
He dropped his book, and held up his 
hands in surprise, and exclaimed, with deep 
emotion, "Is that the name of God, and that 
the way it looks when printed ?" 
"Yes," said I, "that is the name of your 
Heavenly Father ;" and I picked up the 
book and found the place for him, but his 
eyes were full of tears of joy, which he had 
to brush away before he could see the bless-
ed name again. 
"That is the Being," he continued, "about 
whom I have preached for many years, and 
whom I've tried to serve all my life ; and 
now, 0 blessed day! God has permitted 
these old eyes to see to read his name." 
Somehow this incident affected me deeply, 
and fbr some minutes we were both in silence 
and both in tears. 
We do not realize how full and rich our 
mercies are. What would our homes be 
without the Bible ? What should we do 
without the power to read its precious 
truths ? Our minds and hearts should be in 
a state of constant gratitude to God for the 
gift of his Word, and for the power and priv-
ilege to read and understand its teachings.

AFRICA AS A MISSION FIELD. 
When the prophetic vision revealed to the 
seer of Patmos the glorious and triumphant 
appearing of the mighty Conqueror, he ap-
pears with many crowns upon his head, and 
on his vesture and on his thigh were in-
scribed KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. 
When he left the earth it was without a 
crown; that was refused him. But as a 
nobleman he went to a far country to receive 
for himself a kingdom, and to return. Luke 19. 
He is now a Prince upon his Father's throne. 
When he returns, lie will come as a King, and 
sit upon the throne of his glory ; so that be-
tween his ascension and his return the coro-
nation will take place. This is apparent 
from the whole tenor of prophecy. When 
the Prophet Daniel saw his advent in glory, 
he was brought before the "Ancient of days," 
and received "dominion, glory, and a king- 
dom." Dan. 7: 14. Receiving this king- 
dom, the Nobleman becomes a King. This 
event will evidently tranepire in the upper 
regions, either in heaven itself, or in the 
New Jesusalem, the glorious capital of the 
everlasting kingdom, where the throne of 
God and the Lamb are to be, and his ser- 
vants to see his face. Christ's first con- 
quest will be in heaven, and the proclama-
tion of the kingdom will be made there be-
fore it is on earth. The mighty shout will 
go up, and reverberate through all heaven—
"Now is come salvation, and the kingdom of 
our God, and the power of his Christ ; for 
the accuser of our brethren is cast down 
which did accuse them before out God, day 
and night." Rev. 12 ; 10. This proclama-
tion follows the battle in heaven between 
Michael and his angels, arid the devil and his 
angels, resulting in the expulsion of the 
devil from the heavenly regions, where he 
had ever had access for the purpose 'of ac-
cusing God's saints, as he did Job. But 
from the time of this defeat he will no more 
accuse them before God, but will come down 
with his angels to assault the Church with 
fiery trials ; and he will be the more fierce 
inasmuch as he knows that he bath but a 
short time. Milton, to be sure, has laid the 
scene here described, in the days of Adam, 
when Satan first rebelled against God, and 
was hurled from the battlements of heaven. 
But it requires only a small amount of 
thought to see that the event was still future 
in the days of John. And, if future then, it 
must be still ; for no event of which we have 
any knowledge has transpired since that 
time answering to the proclamation which 
will then be made : "Now is come salvation 
and the kingdom of our Lord, and the power 
of his Christ." We conclude, then, that, im-
mediately after this conquest in heaven, will 
be the glorious coronation of the "Blessed 
and only Potentate, the King of kings, and 
Lord of lords." The coronation scene is de-
scribed as the marriage of the Lamb, and 
immediately precedes the appearance of 
Christ in kingly costume, followed by the 
armies of heaven. Babylon the great will 
have fallen, the marriage of the Lamb will 
have been celebrated, the people of heaven 
will haVe raised their triumphant shout, say-
ing,

and give

f 
the Lamb is come, and his wife bath made 
herself ready." 
We conclude, therefore, that, before Christ 
comes forth as the mighty Conqueror, lie 
will gather his saints to the upper regions, 
and organize his kingdom, marshal his hosts, 
and then return with them to the earth, and 
take his kingdom by conquest, putting down 
all rule, all authority, and all powers.have 
The 
foes, with whom Christ the King will 
 
to contend, will be the beast, the false proph-
et, the kings of the earth and their armies, 
together with the devil, that old serpent, 
which deceiveth the whole world. The first 
conflict with this personage is to be in 
heaven, when he will be cast out into the 
earth. When he comes to earth, he will be 
confronted again by the same foul fiend, and 
take, bind, shut up in the abyss, and seal the 
old deceiver for a thousand years. His ac-
complices, the beast and false prophet, will 
be cast alive into the lake of fire arid brim-
stone, their everlasting doom. The kings of 
the earth and their armies will be slain by 
the sword of Him that sitteth on the horse—
the glorious King.

The great and mighty thought in the fi 
lowing letter is, that in the elevation ai 
conversion of the negroes of the South, N 
c HA ihe 
are preparing instruments for the convera colored people understand it. Withhold from 
sion of the continent of Africa. While we 
do not expect Africa to be all converted, we 
do believe that this gospel of the kingdom 
shall be preached in all the world for a wit-
ness to all nations, and Africa among the 
rest. We have reason then to do our part 
as best we can, to raise up instruments who 
shall bear this blessed message to Africa. 
Let us lay ourselves out for it. 
"The Lord has already shown his people' 
that, according to 1 Cor., ii., 19 &c., 27th 
&c., he is pleased to use such despised in-
struments as slaves and others of the African 
race, to do the greatest work he ever does 
by human instrumentality ; i e., as instru-
ments to convert and edify souls. May the 
day soon come when the Freedmen of these 
United States shall invade Africa with the 
gospel, and conquer the whole continent for 
Christ 1 To this we may well look ; and 
now is the time, not a moment too soon, to 
lay the foundations, broad and deep for this 
mighty work. 
0 that God would dispose his children in 
all the North, and those who go to the 
South, to set an example of rigid Christian 
economy and plainness in the style of living; 
of nonconformity to worldly fashions and 
expenditures ; that the Freedmen may begin 
at once to follow the good copy ; and all to 
the end that time, means, and energies may 
all be devoted, as directly as possible, to the 
great work of the world's conversion ! The 
work among the Freedmen is a noble and 
promising part of this work, laying, in the 
providence of God, on the people of this 
land, more responsibility than any other mis-
sionary work, work among a people we have 
injured—wronged, by neglect when not di-
rectly. This responsibility rests on us far 
more than on Christians of other lands, who 
have as much responsibility, according to 
their means for the Foreign Mission work, 
as we have. Yet none less God asks for the 
Foreign work ; but more—far more. But 
for this work among the Freedmen, the 
church in our land I-as hardly begun to re-
spond to the calls of God, made on her in 
his providence. A million of dollars for 
your society's work annually, is neither 
equal to nor approaching the calls of God's 
providence, nor the ability of his people."

REASONS FOR KEEPING THE 7TH 
DAY. 
Such is the title of a Society organized last 
week by a Convention of Evangelical Chris-
tians assembled at Cleveland, Ohio. The 
objects of it we have seen nowhere more 
definitely stated than in the following report 
of the last day's proceedings: 
The Business Committee reported a plan 
of organization, "The American Christian 
Commission," with an executive committee 
of sixty, which committee shall be charged 
with the work of awakening the attention of 
the Christian public to the urgent need of 
extending the gospel to the multitudes of 
people that it has not yet reached by direct 
Christian labor. 
Chief Justice Chase made an eloquent 
speech on the question of organization, pay-
ing a high compliment to the labors of the 
United States Christian Commission in the 
army and navy. 
The following were then chosen as tempo- 
freedmen the right to vote, and in ten years 
they will assert it through an insurrection. 
They have strong-minded, intelligent men 
among them who understand this matter, and 
will insist upon the right. The mass also 
are too much enlightened to yield that which 
will leave them in a state of bondage, in 
some respects more bitter than when they 
were slaves. Give them an equal chance, 
open a fair field, nothing more is claimed 
for them. If they cannot rise, let them fall. 
But they will rise. From a careful analysis 
of their character an characteris4cs, I ven-
ture the prediction that if they etkjoy legal 
equality only, we shall have no reason to 
complain of their loyalty, their industry, or 
their intelligence. In a reasonable tittle 
they will vindicate their right to be free, and 
also to the privileges of full citizenship. 
We are "debtors to the bond," and nc 
that the war is over, and we have triumph, 
gloriously—now that slavery is extinct, ai 
our beloved nation about to go forth as 
strong man to run a race, we can in no wi 
more effectually promote our security a 
cancel a just debt than by educating and 
paring the freedmen for their freedo 
Henceforth, however, the educational wo] 
will be greatly modified. When the revol 
ed states are fully restored, and manal 
their domestic concerns in their own wa 
there will unquestionably be serious obst 
des in the way of instructing the negro 
those states. But time and patience wi 
work wonders. A magnificent field is y 
open, and though not exactly white, certaini 
is ripe for harvest.

DOES THE SOUL LIVE IN DEATH ? 
This is an elegant steel engraving by 
JOHN SARTAIN of Philadelphia, one of the 
most accomplished artists of the country. It 
represents a returned soldier in the midst of 
a funnily group, consisting of his father, moth-
er, and four children, together with a sister, 
and soldier's widow and daughter, in an at-
titude of breathless interest, listening to his 
recital of the scenes of carnage through 
which he had passed, and, by the perils of 
which, he had lost a leg, and returned a 
cripple for life. 
The engraving is altogether one of the 
finest which has been produced, illustrative 
of the great rebellion and its overthrow.

When Moffat (an English missionary 
and his companions were on their travels 
Africa, they came near a heathen village o 
the banks of the River Orange. They ha 
travelled far, and were suffering from thirs 
hunger, and fatigue. They were afraid 
lions which were seen in that vicinity ; ar 
so they wished to remain in the village ove 
night. But the people of the place wer 
rough and unkind, and would not allow then 
to come in ; even insisting on their halting 
some distance off. 
The travellers asked for water, but wer 
refused ; they offered the buttons on thei 
jackets for a little milk ; but that also wa 
denied them. They had no prospect of any 
thing better than to spend the night hungry 
 
and thirsty, though in the sight of the villagi 
and of the river. And to this must be adde( 
that they were suspicious of the villager 
themselves, whose manner was most unfriend

Dr. Wayland died at his residence on Sat-
urday afternoon, Sept. 30th, at half-past five 
o'clock. His friends have for the last few 
years feared that with his unconquerable 
zeal for work he would overtask his system, 
enfeebled by a life crowded with herculean 
labors, and induce an attack of apoplexy or 
paralysis, But during the sutnrner he has 
been in his usual health, has revised his 
Moral Philosophy, written two or three new 
chapters for it, and corrected the proofs of 
the new edition, which will appear almost 
simultaneously with his death. During 
Commencement Week he made a journey to 
Ashburnham, Mass., and assisted in drawing 
the plan of an Academy, for which one of 
his relatives had left a large bequest. It is 
probable that lie has been too active during 
the last two months. A week ago Friday, 
he complained of indisposition. On Sunday 
he was not well enough to attend church. 
On Monday his medical adviser observed 
that he had difficulty in finding words to ex-
press his ideas. Tuesday morning this diffi-
culty was manifestly increased. About ten 
o'clock, a member of his family, on going to 
the room, found him entirely unconscious, 
and leaning upon the bed, as if lie had fallen 
in trying to get upon it. The fatal blow had 
come. His whole right side was paralyzed.

This is the title of a four-page tract pub-
lished by the tract Committee of the Penn- 
; sylvania Messianian Conference. It has re- 
ceived a thorough review by a 'Western 
paper, which ought to have demolished so 
small a tract. But, on examining the little 
veteran, we find him in va hopeful condition, 
and ready for active service wherever his 
friends call for his services. He still insists, 
as he always has done, that our Saviour, the 
great Teacher, whose word is final, used the 
word die in the popular sense, that is, for a 
separation of the life from the body, thus 
leaving the body dead, but the life still alive, 
and more active than when diffused through 
the body. John 12 : 24, "Verily, verily 1 
say unto you except a corn of wheat fall into 
the ground and die, it abideth alone ; but if 
it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." He in-
sists that Christ never used the word die in 
any other sense, and that this is, therefore, 
the true sense of the word. Price of the 
tract, 30 cts. per hundred.

INCIDENTS OF SUMMER TRAVEL. 
The people of the old Bay State may per-
haps like to hear from the West again; 
hence I found myself on board the express 
train, and ere long landed in the city of Wa-
tertown. Governor Lewis was on board the 
train, and was indulging in looking from the 
rear car door, as a sort of pastime, while we 
were erossing a low tract called Mud Lake, 
or Lowell Marsh, when a quite sudden jerk 
of the engine nearly brought him on his tip-
toes, and, as I was in conversation with him, 
at the time, indulging in the same luxury of 
viewing the disappearing landscape, I said 
to him that the Governor would be left be-
hind if he were not careful. He smiled and 
took his seat by his worthy wife, who was 
with him on a sort of excursion to Lake Su-
perior. 
Change cars—whistle sounds—and we 
cut loose from the throng, but we retain a 
large share of the mass, and, with this dense 
crowd and a very long train, we plunged 
through the cultivated fields of our Badger 
State, and, as the air within was almost 
stifling, and many were obliged to stand, in-
side as well as out, I took the latter with 
many more. Tall church spires would greet 
the eye as they seemed to pierce the clouds, 
showing that we were still within the bounds 
of civilization, for, where no such things ap-
pear, and as we may couple a common 
schoolhouse with it, we can rest assured. that 
there is something wrong; yet I will say, in 
many cases, it is a pity they are desecrated 
by their own votaries, but there may be a 
good time coming yet. 
I will soy in behalf of the railroad compa-
ny that, notwithstanding there is at times a 
scarcity of ears, the ballasting is good, and 
this line is the line to travel on, and should 
any of our Boston editors or excursionists 
wish to enjoy a good trip to the north-eastern 
part of this State, go over the Chicago and 
North-western Railroads, where you will 
find a set of kind conductors. 
Another change, and at nine, P. M. we 
are in a model omnibus, somewhat resembling 
Frinh and Walker's stage-coaches, and are 
soon navigating the sandy streets of Portage 
City, and are somewhat surprised to find a 
friend, whom we had not seen for ten years, 
I have a very ardent desire to do as Bro. 
Cutting has done, and think perhaps you 
wi 1 permit me to do so. He says, "I 
thought that I would tell the brethren 
through the Herald, what day I keep for 
Sabbath, and why I keep it." He has done 
so, may I have the same privilege ? With 
Bro. Cutting I would say, I do not write 
"thinking that every one will believe as I 
do. If I am wrong in my views, I am (not 
only) willing, (but earnestly desire) any 
brother to point out my wrong, and when I 
have seen" it, I will abandon it, and gladly 
embrace the right. 
The first reason is, God blessed the sev-
enth day, and sanctified it, (set it apart for 
a special purpose,) and himself rested in that 
day, and afterwards wrote a command for 
his people to observe it, in remembrance of 
his work of creation and rest, which I believe 
should be remembered with joyous gratitude 
ever, as at the first, "when the morning stars 
sang together, and all the sons of God shout-
ed for joy." Job. 38: 7. I believe the 
moral obligations of God's people do not 
change. God is unchangeable, and is always 
pleased with loving obedience. I love to 
obey God in this commandment, as well as 
in all other of his commandments. "Behold, 
to obey is better than sacrifice." 1 Sam. 15 : 
22. God chose a people for himself out of 
the nations of the earth. And when that 
people became a nation, separated from other 
nations, he gave them commandments on 
tables of stone, written by himself'. "And 
the tables were the work of God, and the 
writing was the writing of God,_ graven upon 
the tables." Exod. 32: 16. Moses broke 
those tables, v. 19. "And the Lord said 
unto Moses, hew thee two tables of stone, 
like unto the first ; and I will write upon 
these tables the words that were in the first 
tables, which thou breakest." Exod. 34 : 1. 
Deut. 10 : 1, 2. How wonderful ! God's 
work ! God's writing ! ! I will honor him, 
and praise his holy name. Israel, the seed 
of Jacob, were his depositories of these tables 
of commandments, and he instructed them in 
their government, and caused Moses to write 
for them laws, which are called "the law of' 
Moses"—"The book of the law of Moses." 
Josh. 8: 31. This book of the law was de-
posited "in the side of the ark." Deut. 31 : 
26. But the tables of stone, were put into 
the ark. Dent. 10 : 5. The Gentiles, how-
ever, could, upon certain conditions, become 
participators with the Jews, of God's mercies 
and blessings, and so become one with his 
people; and surely his commandments were 
adapted to all who might choose to submit 
to him. Observe, the sabbath was not in-
stituted for the Jews, but for Adam and his 
posterity. "The Sabbath was made for man," 
Mark 2 : 27. and God gave it theimportance 
of one of his commandments, written by him-
self. 
Another reason why I observe the Sabbath 
of the Lord my God, is, the Lord Jesus says, 
"1 came not to destroy the law or the proph-
ets, but to fulfilL" Matt. 5 : 17. He men-
tions some of the commandments, and says

that they "cannot be suejected to any punish-
ment, otherwise than by virtue of -a judg-
ment, or according to the legal decision of 
the town to which they belong." Such are

"Could the most absolute despotism on 
earth go beyond this in chaining down the 
human mind and conscience and speech ? 
You may go to London, and, in Westminster 
or Hyde Park, criticise the behaviour of the 
British sovereign ; you may go to St. Perers-
burg, and speak about the Czar himself; but 
You could not stand on a foot of Southern 
soil, and denounce our practice of slavery as 
immoral, without personal danger. Yet we 
say that we have been fighting for liberty, 
that we have free speech and a free press ! 
We have had no such thing. We have been 
enslaved ourselves. Our minds, our speech, 
our consciences, our press, our pulpit, all 
were in abject dependence upon the slave 
power. I could to-day, perhaps, with the 
military power of the federal government, 
established over me, and twenty thousand 
bayonets in the State to enforce its authority, 
openly pronounce that government a tyran-
ny without incurring the danger of personal 
violence ; but I could not, when I stood here 
five years ago, have denounced our practice 
of slavery as tyrannical. I should have been 
forced to leave the State, if an infuriated 
mob had permitted me to escape.

by furnishing them with separate home-like

A number of the cottages have been put up

op Potter, who writes to Dr. Muhlenburg as 
follows:

tian Industrial Community, a rural settle-
ment, in which the worthy, diligent poor 
may have becoming abodes, with the means 
and rewards of diligence, together with the 
provisions of the gospel'—(what a contrast 
to the crowded, pestilential places, surround-
ed by moral infection, in which many of 
them now dwell inn this great city !) will not 
be placed before the Christian minds of this 
community in vain. God put it into the 
hearts of the laity to help you, and give you 
length of days, and strength as well, to work 
for Him, his Church, and his poor !"—Chris-
tian Secretary. 
CAN THE NEGROES TAKE CARE OF 
THEMSELVES. 
I remembered, and reminded others of the 
passages, "The Lord is righteous, who taketh 
vengeance," and "These be the days of ven-
geance, in which all things that are written 
shall be fulfilled." The regions, where the 
nation put out the home-fires, or the council-
fires of the Cherokees, was chastised till 
even the fiendish spirit of the Indian could 
ask no more—and everywhere those who 
bought and sold the image of their Maker, 
or who pampered themselves with the un-
paid wages of their laborers, or who did no 
more than look on in silence while such 
heaven-daring outrages were perpetrated, 
these had their sons, brothers, husbands and 
fathers torn from them by conscription as 
re'_entless as the force they used to apply in 
negro buying and selling. How many of 
them had to say, "As I have done, so bath 
the Lord done unto me ;" though after all 
but few saw the connection between the sin 
and the punishment. 
About ten weeks after the capture of At-
lanta, I was detached from my regiment, and 
seat to Arkansas to take charge of the school 
for Freedmen there. It was plersant to 
have the opportunity to attend to their high- 
er wants. In 1863 I was called to look 
after their temporal necessities, to provide 
shelter, protection, labor, &c. In 1865 I was 
called to provide for their intellects. What 
had God wrought ! Never, I believe was 
such a desire to learn implanted inn any race 
of men—certainly I may say, never with so 
high and holy a motive at the basis ; for the 
expressed motive is that they may read the 
Bible—that they may learn what God has 
revealed to man. There is not only interest 
in this, but a meaning—God has not im-
planted so noble a desire founded on so pure 
arid holy a motive, inn such a race, without 
some great design. What that design may 
be, I pretend not to decide. The Arkansas 
Journal and Freedman's Bulletin, which I 
send, contain some account of the schools. 
I also send a Cairo paper as a specimen of 
what is done here. Cairo is growing rapidly, 
and, having conquered its peculiar difficulties, 
will seine day be a large city. 
LESSONS FROM RUSSIAN EMANCI-

Dear Bro. Litch:-1 enclose in this, three 
dollars for the Freedmen's Mission. I spent 
some time walking round, in hopes I snould 
get some more money to send you, but I 
have not got much. Three Advent sisters 
gave me one dollar and twenty-five cents, 
and I made out the rest of the three dollars 
myself, hoping it would reach them, and do 
the cause some good, although a trifle. I 
am aged, and cannot do as I could wish. I 
have ever felt a peculiar love and sympathy 
for them in their tried situation. What a 
sacrifice it has been for Bros. Child and Les-
lie to leave their homes and everything that 
was dear to them, to go among enemies. 
But the love of Christ has constrained them 
to do it. The blessed God will abundantly 
reward them.

A NEW RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT. 
A singular religious movement was begun 
inn England a few weeks ago. It is proposed 
to unite the members of the English, Roman 
Catholic and Greek Churches in friendly 
communion, arid the public journals report 
that three hundred churches in England have 
assented to the measure. From a statement 
made by Rev. F. G. Hall, Oxford, we gather 
the following indications of the character and 
purpose of this movement : 
"Ann institution has been formed under the 
title of 'The Association for the Promotion 
of the Unity of Christendom,' to unite inn a 
bond 'of intercessary prayer members of both 
the clergy and laity of the Roman Catholic, 
Greek and Anglican communions. 'To all,' 
it is said, 'wino, while they lament the divis-
ions amongst Christians, look forward for 
their healing mainly to a corporate re-union 
of those three great bodies which claim for 
themselves the inheritence of tine priesthood 
and the name of Catholic, an appeal is made. 
They are not asked to compromise any prin-
ciples which they, rightly or wrongly hold 
dear; they are simply asked to unite, for the 
promotion of a high and holy end.' " 
The names of the members are to be kept 
strictly private, and the only obligation im-
posed upon those who join the association, 
is the daily use of a short form of prayer, to 
which is added, in the case of priests, the 
offering, at least once in three months, of tine 
Holy Sacrifice.—Boston Journal. 
.M.N.Nw 
 
MORE WORK NEEDED. 
A writer inn the Ohio Journal and Messen-
ger well says : "Primitive zeal did not play 
religion with artistic preaching, singing, and 
meeting-houses. Without so much refined 
leisure, and shallow fastidiousness, primitive 
Christians worked right on for the salvation 
of the world, 'attempting great things for 
God, and expecting great things from God.' 
There is but one way for us. We must 
wake up, call mightily upon God, and go to 
work like men. eThe mass of our member-
ship must be summoned to the work. Inn 
no other way cart we expect an able minis-
try. A deeper earnestness inn the churches 
will produce it. Why tell me, is it the thing 
to meet in our Associations, count up our 
members, find that we about hold our own with 
out progress, conquest or enlargement, hear the 
usual speeches of our agents as they„ss--,Vii, 
rounds, pass our stereotyped resolutions, mu-
tually congratulate each other upon our 
growing piety and liberality, contribute fif-
teen or twenty dollars each to our great na-
tional societies, make provision for publish-
ing the minutes, return home and tell our 
brethren what a good time we have had, ex-
cite inn them a feeble resolution to go to the' 
Association next year, and then all quietly 
slumber on as before ? If this, or anything 
like it, is to reclaim the world, I cannot see 
it. It, falls immeasurably short of what 
must be done. It is talking without doing 
—a kind of solemn trifling before God and 
the world."

planet by Dr. Robert Luther, director of the 
observatory at Bilk, Germany. It appeared 
as a star of the tenth magnitude, and was 
situated in tine right ascension, twenty-one 
hours thirty-four minutes, and south declina-
tion fourteen degrees twenty-one minutes. 
This planet is the eighty-fourth of the 
group of small bodies revolving between the 
orbits of Mars and Jupiter, and is the four-
teenth detected by Dr. Luther. During a 
period of less than twenty years, no less than 
eighty of these small planets, varying from 
the seventh to the twelfth magnitude, have 
been detected; and as optical power is in-
creased these minute bodies will probably be 
found which are invisible in tine most power-
ful telescopes of the present day. 
 
A NEW "CHURCH" MOVEMENT. 
most rigid economy blacking boots, hand-
ling baggage, and going without his grog 
rations, for which he was allowed one dollar 
a month, he had accumulated eighty dollars. 
This was to make the first payment toward 
the purchase of his wife. This money was 
sacred ; it was "freedom money." He had 
no coat to be married in, but rather than 
break in upon his eighty dollars, he borrow-
ed a coat. Anthony was married : made 
the first payment toward the purchase of 
his wife, a white friend going his security 
for the balance. His mother had been pur-
chased, with two sisters, by Mr. B., Antho-
ny's owner. His mother was hired out as 
chambermaid on the same boat with Antho- 
ny. She was struggling ,and saving every 
cent to purchase one of these daughters. 
Anthony took tine task off her hands. We 
now have our hero fairly launched inn his 
freedom struggle. Look at him—his own 
freedom, his wife and a sister, all trembling, 
as he bares his bosom, and with his brawny 
arms he goes forth to conquer or die. After 
a struggle of fifteen years, behold him en-
tering one of the Banks of tine city where 
his owner was engaged. A settlement is 
made. It is announced to him, "There, 
Anthony, you are free, and thirty-seven dol-
lars your due." "You don't say, Mr. B., 
that I am free and have thirty-seven dollars." 
"Yes, Anthony, it is so, all paid, interest and 
all; near two thousand dollars you have 
paid ; here are your papers." Says Antho-
ny, "I got right down on my knees and 
thanked the Lord. I jumped up and down ; 
I could not help it ; I went out into the 
street, looked all around. You cannot tell 
how every thing looked to me. I a free 
man, my wife free, my sister free ; I was 
the richest man in Washington. Free ! 
thirty-seven dollars ! my wife my own !" 
I found my eyes growing moist during 
this recital. "0 !" said he, "You white 
people can know nothing about our feelings 
when we become free." Here I must leave 
him, but in nny next give your readers an 
accout of Anthony's obtaining an education 
under difficulties—for he is a fair scholar—
and of his progress since he was free. 
There is a glorious instance in our own 
day, which is an example for us, when the 
Emperor of Russia, by a proclamation, ful-
filling the aspirations of his predecessors, set 
free twenty-three millions of serfs, and then 
completed his work by investing the freed-
men with civil and political rights, including 
the right to testify in court, the right of suf-
frage and the right to hold office. I have in 
my hand this immortal proclamation, dated 
at St. Petersburg, 19th of February, 1861 ; 
promulgated amidst prayers and thanksgiv-
ings inn all the churches of the national cap-
ital, and at once expedited to every part of 
the widely extended empire by gererals and 
staff officers of the Emperor himself: Here 
it is, in an official document entitled ilff2 an-
chissement des Serfs, and issued at St. Peters-
burg. After reciting that the earlier meas-
ures inn behalf of the serfs had failed, be-
cause they had been left to "the spontaneous 
initiative of tine proprietors," the Emperor 
proceeds to take the work in hand as 'a sa 
cred legacy from lifs ancestors, and declares 
the serfs, after an interval of two years, "en-
tirely enfranchised." Meanwhile, that noth-
ing might fail, "a special court" for serfs was 
created in each province, charged with the 
organization of local governments, the ad-
justment of boundaries, and generally to su-
perintend the transition frotn the old to the 
new, with "justices of the peace" in each dis-
trict, to examine on the spot all questions 
arising from emancipation. Had the work 
stopped here, it would have been incomplete. 
But no such fatal mistake was made. 
Accompanying the proclamation, is a series 
of "regulations," prepared with infinite care, 
and divided into chapters and sections—oc-
cupying no less than ninety-one 
double columns and small type—by 
the rights of the freedmen are secured 
yond question. Beginning with the 
tion that tine freedmen "acquire the rights 
longing to the condition of free farmers," 
they then proceed in formal words to fix and 
assure their rights, civil and political. By 
one section, it is provided that "the articles 
of the civil code on the rights and obligations 
of the family, are extended to the freedmen ; 
that consequently they acquire the right, 
without the authorization of the proprietor, 
o contract marriage, and to make any ar-
rangement whatever concerning their fami-
y affairs ; that they can equally enter into 
all agreements and obligations authorized by 
he laws, as well with the State as with in-
dividuals, on the conditions established for 
free farmers ; that they can inscribe them-
elves in the guilds, and exercise trades in 
he villages ; and they can found and corn-
duct factories and establishments of corn-
nerce." Another section secures to the 
freednien the right of acquiring and alien-
ating property of all kinds, according to the 
general law, and besides, guarantees, on cer-
ain conditions, "the possession of their home-
teads," with the grounds appurtenant. 
Another section secures to the freedmen 
complete equality in the courts, with 
he right of action, whether civilly or 
criminally, to commence process, and to an-
wer personally or by attorney ; to make 
omplaint, and to defend their rights by all 
he means known to the law, and to appear 
as witnesses and as bail, conformably to the 
aw." Other sections secure to the freed-
men equality in political rights, by providing 
hat "on tine organization of the towns, they 
hall be entitled to take part in the meetings 
and elections for the towns, and to vote on 
own affairs, and to exercise divers func-
ions ;" that they shall also "take part in the 
assemblies for the district, and shall vote on 
district affairs, and choose the chairman," 
and generally to enjoy all rights to choose 
heir local officers and to be chosen in turn. 
And still another section authorizes freedmen 
'to place their children in the establishments 
for public education, embrace the career of 
nstruction, or the scientific career, or to take 
ervice in the corps of surveyors." And it 
s further provided, that they "cannot lose 
heir rights or be restrained inn their exer-
cise, except after judgment of the town, ac- 
The New York papers .have a notice of an 
effort, on the part of Dr. Muhlenburg, to 
fbund a settlement which shall be under the 
exclusive control of the Episcopalians. St. 
Johnland, for such is the name which is 
given to this Episcopal bantling, will be lo-
cated not more than thirty or forty miles 
from the city of New York. The general 
plain is to enable certain classes of the indus-
trious poor to exchange their wretched 
abodes in the city for comfortable rural 
homes, and at the same time to be sure of 
the means of support. The whole property 
belongs to a corporation, to be managed by 
a board of trustees. The jurisdiction will 
be given to a pastor and superintendent. 
These will exercise an oversight and care of 
the members. "An important part of the 
superintendent's business is to secure em-

REV. MR. CALDWELL AGAIN. 
We give in another column extracts from a 
discourse of Rev. John H. Caldwell of S. C., 
inn which he spoke out his mind on slavery, 
like a free man as he is. But it seems that 
the old intolerent spirit still exists. His pre-
- siding elder took the case in hand and un-
dertook to remove him from his charge and 
appoint another man in his place. Mr. 
Caldwell appealed to tine military authorities, 
who reinstalled him. 
The following is the order of Gen. Thomas. 
Headquarters Military Division of the Tennesee, 
Nashville, Tenn., Sept. l3, 1805. 
Spcial Orders, No. 79. 
_XIII- The Rev. John H. Caldwell, a 
loyal minister of the gospel of the State of 
Georgia, having forwarded to these Headquar-
ters, complaints against John B. McGeehee, 
Presiding Elder of the M. E. Church, South, 
and other disloyal persons, for ill-treatment and 
persecution received from them, an investiga-
tion of the case has developed the following 
facts : 
Tine Rev. J. H. Caldwell, Pastor in charge 
of Newnan and Palmetto Station inn the 
Georgia Conference of the M. E. Church, 
South, and was duly and lawfully appointed 
to that charge according to the rules and 
discipline of that church. 
Tine Rev. John B. McGeehee, Presiding 
Elder, contrary to, and in violation of, the 
laws and customs of the church, has ordered 
and required him to give up the pastoral 
charge of his churches, and threatened to 
turn his family out of the church parsonage, 
becanse lie, Caldwell, did on the 11th day of 
June, 1865, preach a sermon at Newnan, 
therein setting forth the abuses of the insti-
tution of slavery, and advising the citizens 
to accept the Amnesty Proclamation offered 
by the President of United States, and to 
become good and loyal citizens. 
It further appears that Presiding Elder 
McGeehee ordered the Rev. Mr. Kimble, a 
returned rebel chaplain, to take the pastoral 
charge of Caldwell's church and ordered 
Caldwell to Haraldson Mission, a place in a 
remote and obscure part of the La Grange 
District, where he would have a very limited 
sphere of usefulness and no means whatever 
of supporting his family. 
It is accordingly ordered by the Major 
BISHOP COLENSO'S RETURN TO NA- 
TAL. 
A meeting of the clergy and laity of Natal 
took place on the 30th of June. The pro-
ceedings commenced by the dean reading the 
following resolution, passed at a previous 
meeting : 
"Resolved, To request the Metropolitan to 
forward to the Most Rev. the Archbishop of 
Canterbury the following petition to the 
Lords Archbishops and Bishops of the Unit-
ed Church of England and Ireland : We, the 
clergy and laity of the church in Natal, 
deeply feel the difficulties under which we 
labor, in consequence of the conduct of 
Bishop Colenso. We see no means of their 
speedy removal except the appointment of 
another bishop. Should this course meet 
your lordships' full approval, we earnestly 
beg that you will signify the same to us, and 
that you will mark it by selecting for us a 
man to be our bishop whom the Metropoli-
tan may conseerate, and to a bishop so elect-
ed and consecrated we promise joyfully to 
pay all due obedience. This course not 
necessarily to be a precedent for future elec-
tions." 
The Rev. Dr. Callaway then proposed, 
land the Rev. F. S. Robinson seconded, the 
following amendment : 
"Whereas, Great and laudable anxiety ex-
ists in the hearts of the members of the 
Church generally, lest, in their present pain-
ful position, any steps should inadvertently 
be taken which should in any way separate 
them from the mother church in England ; 
and whereas we, the undersigned, being 
deeply conscious of the great loss to the 
church in the colony from the want of a 
spiritual head—Resolved, That we pray the 
Lord Metropolitan to advise us on the fol-
lowing points : 1. Whether the acceptance 
of a new bishop on our part, while Bishop 
Coleus° still retains the letters patent of the 
crown, would inn any way sever us froth the 
mother church inn England. 2. Supposing 
the reply to the first question to be that we 
should not be thereby in any way severed, 
what are the proper steps for us to take to 
obtain a new bishop ? 
A Washington correspondent of the Chris-
tian Secretary, in answering this question 
says : 
But allow me to introduce to your readers, 
my friend, Anthony B—. Anthony is 
one of nine children of a slave mother, pure 
African blood. When quite young, he was 
purchased by a gentleman of this city, a Mr. 
B., who, by the way was from Connecticut. 
Anthony became a "waiting boy" to Mr. B. 
At the early age of twelve he was hired out 
as "cook's mate" on board of a steamer ply-
ing on the Potomac river. At this age and 
time he made the resolve that some day he 
would be free, as he expressed it, "peacea-
ble if he could, forcible if he must." He 
further resolved that if he made the attempt 
he would succeed or perish in the conflict. 
If he was arrested, it would be death to 
those making the arrest, or death to himself. 
There are many items of interest I must 
pass over. At the age of sixteen, having 
been "promoted" and his services-'becoming 
more valuable, he made the proposition to 
his owner to purchase his freedom. The 
proposition was acceded to, and his wages 
were to be applied towards the payment, ex-

"A Chattanooga letter-writer says : 'This 
morning, attending the services in the Post 
Chapel, we heard a sermon preached by the 
Rev. J.. H. Caldwell, of Newman, Georgia, 
which, for earnest and eloquent denunciation 
of the practice and effect of slavery, and for 
clear and logical perception of the result of 
this war, was certainly the ablest and most 
effective discourse it has been my lot to 
hear. Mr. Caldwell is a South Carolinian, 
nearly related to John C. Calhoun, and has 
been a slaveholder all his life, having inher-
ited about a score of slaves. He has always 
lived South---ais a member of the Methodist 
Episcopal Church, South, and of the Georgia 
Conference. He claims—arnd I doubt not 
its trutia=to have been originally opposed to 
secession, though going with his section in 
the war when the fatal die was thrown. The 
war has made him poor. His negroes have 
left, stock run off, and farm run down. Fif- 
ty thousand dollars would not make him 
whole. Atter the issuing of the Amnesty 
Proclamation of President Johnson, Mr. 
Caldwell, then preaching in the town of 
Newman, and at a church two miles off, 
preached two sermons, one of which I heard 
this morning. After listening, I wondered 
not at Mr. Caldwell's statement that a large 
portion of his congregation left before he had 
finished. 
Mr. Caldwell says : "The slave power has 
ruled with absolute and despotic sway. It 
held the bodies of four millions of slaves in 
bondage, and at the same time maintained 
supremacy over the minds and consciences 
and speech of eight millions of whites. I 
used often to wonder why none of our bish-
ops, none of our distinguished divines, ever 
preached on the moral obligations of mas-
ters, while they often explained and enforced 
those of servants. The reason is plain—
they were overawed by the slave power. It 
had uttered its mandates, and prescribed the 
metes and bounds of discussion. It had said 
in effect : 'Thus far, but no farther, you 
may go, in criticising the conduct of masters. 
You may speak of the relation ; call it a di-
vine right, establish it in sermon, essay, and 
book, to be of God's own appointment, and 
well pleasing in his sight. You may 'preach 
to the slave, and tell him his whole duty to 
his master ; that he is to obey in all things—
not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but 
doing the master's will with a good heart, for 
this is required of him by his Master wino is 
in heaven. But as to the practice of the 
master—as to his moral obligation—touch it 
lightly. You may say something about 
"things that are just and equal," but they 
must be understood to mean, in some places, 
a half pound of .meat per day, a peck of corn 
per week, a hat, blanket, pair of shoes, and 
three suits of clothing for a year ; in other 
localities, as in lower Carolina and Georgia, 
you-may mention all these except the meat. 
This must be about the range of your sug-
gestions to masters ; go beyond it, and you 
must be reminded that you are uttering sen-
timentlYdisloyal to the slave power. As for 
education and marriage, separation of fami-
lies and kindred, auction sales and negro 
marts, negro raisers and negro traders, cruel

Sir,—An accurate survey of Jerusalem 
and its neighborhood being considered a ne-
cessary basis for the improvement of the 
sanitary condition of the city, and for tine 
proper discussion of numerous interesting 
questions connected with its topography, the 
Dean of Westminster, on the part of the 
Bishop of London and other philanthropic 
and scientific persons, applied to Lord de 
Grey for the survey to be made under my 
direction, stating that £500, the estimated 
cost of the survey, would be placed at my 
disposal to defray the cost of it. 
This application received the sanction of 
Lord de Grey, and with the concurrence of 
his Royal Highness the General Command-
iog-in-Chief, I selected an officer, (Captain 
Wilson) 'and a party of non-commissioned 
officers and sappers of the Royal Engineers 
from the Ordnance Survey, and they left 
England on the 12th of September last, fully 
equipped with every requisite for the per-
formance of their duty ; and it is right to 
add that the Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany, desirous to aid in this good work, have 
consented to allow tine party to go out to and 
return from Alexapdria in one of their steam-
ers, at a very reduced rate for their passage. 
Captain Wilson also contributes his quota 
towards the cost of the survey, for he has 
gone out entirely at his own expense. 
I now venture to ask to be permitted to 
state through your columns, and more espe-
cially for the information of those who have 
contributed to tine fund raised for the purpose 
of making tine survey, that I receive a re-
port of progress and expenditure every fort-
night, that the party is making very satis-
factory progress, and that the estimated cost 
will not be exceeded. 
Captain Wilson informs me that he has 
received the kindest assistance from the 
Pasha and all the Turkish authorities, and 
that, although at first lie met with a little 
coolness from the different Christian com-
munities and their consuls, ".1.9 am happy to 
say," Inc writes, "that now all, without ex-
ception, give me every assistance and try to 
forward the work in every way." 
While the survey of the city is proceeding, 
Capt Wilson has been exploring underground, 
and has made some important discoveries to 
elucidate its ancient topography, the most 
important of which is the discovery of "one 
of the arches of the cause way which led from 
the city to the Temple inn a very good state 
of preservation, the span of which is between 
40 and 50 feet, and composed of large stones 
like those seen in the Jewish wailing place." 
He has also discovered another large cistern 
in the Harare or Temple area, and says the 
whole area is perfectly honey-combed with 
passages and cisterns ; and he had himself 
lowered 82 feet down a well, which is in 
what was formerly tine Valley of Cheese-
mongers, and followed the stream for a con-
siderable distance till he came to the spring 
with sonic steps down into it, which were cut 
in the solid rock. 
These and many other discoveries, which 
I need not particularize, will be represented 
on the plan of the city-. There is one ob-
ject which is much to be desired should be 
accomplished before the party leaves the 
country, and that is the exact determination 
of the relative level of the Mediterranean 
and the Dead Sea, arid the connection of the 
levels taken at Jerusalem with that of the 
Mediterranean. HENRY JAMES,

Dear Bro. Litch.—Ever since I read of 
the Freedmen's church being burnt, I have 
wanted to send my mite. But I hardly 
knew where to send it. To day I saw a call 
for friends of the Feedmen's Mission, to 
send one dollar. I love the cause, and I 
would send five if I could. I will send one 
at this time, and more if the Lord blesses me 
with it. You have my prayers that the 
Lord may' direct you in all your ways. I 
would be so thankful if one of the good Ad-
vent preachers, could come to this place to 
preach the gospel of the kingdom. 0 how I 
would like to hear a good Advent sermon. 
I am thankful that I have the Herald to 
read : I prize it next to the word of God. 
I have great reason to bless God that I ever 
took the Advent paper. I find it a source of 
great comfort to one in my pilgrimage. I 
have no one here to sympathize with me in 
waiting for the Lord from heaven to change 
our vile body, and make it like his glorious 
body. It is 
"My sole concern, my single care, 
To watch, and tremble, and prepare, 
Against that awful day :"— 
awful to the wicked, but glorious to those 
that are prepared.' •0 that the Lord would

WILLIAM B. ASTOR. 
No bank clerk on the salary of a thousand 
dollars a year, goes to his bank as regularly, 
or works as many hours as William B. As- 
tor, who counts up his forty millions. His 
little one story office, a step or two from 
Broadway, on Prince street, with its iron 
bars, making it resemble a police prison, is 
the den where he performs his daily toil, and 
out of all his wealth and labor gets only his 
"victuals and clothes." He attends person-
ally to all his business, knows every dollar 
of rent or income that is to become due, pays 
out every dollar, makes his entries with his 
own hand, and obliges his subordinates to 
come to him for information, while lie does 
not go to them. He generally comes down 
in the omnibus at an early hour of the day, 
and remains closely absorbed in business un-
til 5 o'clock. He rarely takes exercise, and 
finds his pleasure in the closest attention to 
business. A friend of mine rode to Wash-
ington with him in the same car from New 
York. He neither spoke nor got out of his 
seat, and hardly moved from Jersey City to 
Washington. Ae usually leaves his office 
at 5 o'clock, and walks slowly up Broadway 
to Lafayette place. He is over six feet high, 
heavily built, with a decided German look, 
small hazy eyes as if he was half asleep, head 
round as a pumpkin and about as destitute 
of hair. He is exceedingly hospitable, and 
in the "season" gives a dinner to his friends 
weekly, at which the richest viands, on ser-
vices of gold and silver, are presented by 
liveried servants to his guests.—New York

ARE You WILLING TO SUFFER AFFLIC-
TION ?-When Christ comes and says: "I 
want you to consecrate your wealth to me," 
that seems hard. But when he comes and 
says : "I want to take your wealth all away 
from you—it is best that you should not 
have it any more ; I want to take away from 
you all your friends; I want to make your 
road dark and rough ; I want to do it because 
I love you : and I mean that it shall be for 
glory in the end. For the present it will be 
hard, but it will last only for a short time, 
and its results will more than repay you for 
what you suffer. Because I live, you shall 
live also ; but for the time being I want you 
to suffer for my name's sake"—when Christ 
comes and says this, how many of us can 
say : "Even so, Lord, do with me what seem-
eth thee good ?" Do you live with such a 
view of Christ and the ,eternal world that, 
when God' makes his will known to you by 
his degrees of providence, you can say 
"Even so, Lord; it seemeth good to thee; it 
shall seem good to me ?" Then it shall come 
to pass that your light affliction, which is but 
for a moment, shall work out for you an 
exceeding and eternal weight of glory.

LETTER FROM THE WEST. 
Extract of a letter received by a lady in 
Newburyport, from Rev. Joel Grant, Sol-
diers' Home : 
Cairo, Ill., Sept. 20, 1865. 
My army life has been spent for the most 
part inn the field—very little of it under a 
roof, and hundreds of days without even the 
cover of a tent. I have been with my regi- 
rnerfria fourteen battles, and in innumerable 
anaanaa. 
Anientitt esand exposures that did not in- 
Achim-a battle. I have. been with them 
attvivile 200 of them went to their graves, 140 
-firthem from battle-fields, and 60 from dis-
aa ease or accident. Our regiment was remark- 
able for the small number of deaths from dis-
ease, unparalleled, as far as I know, by the 
his.ory of any other regiment. This was due 
to good surgeons, good discipline, and the 
prevalence of good habits among the men. 
I have seen something like five-sixths of 
them returned to their homes, though as 
some of them were discharged for infirmities 
resulting from wounds and exposure, it is 
probable that a considerable number are be-
fore this dead, who are not embraced in the

I have bestowed something like fourteen 
months' labor among the Freedmen, on two 
oscasions. First in 1863, when for six months 
I had charge of a camp of contrabands at 
Grand Junction and La Grange, Term., (50 
miles east of Memphis), which numbered in 
all more than 5000, though never more than 
1700 at one time. Then the struggle was to 
get their right to life and liberty acknowl-
edged. All through the Nertin the Presi-
dent's proclamation was ridiculed by com-
paring it to the "Pope's bull" against the 
comet, &c., and it was a sad and gloomy 
time. After a while, the region in which my 
camp was placed was abandoned by our 
forces, and my protegees were removed to 
Memphis, and I went back to my regiment. 
I accompanied it to Eastern Tennessiiritid 
from Chattanooga, south to the capturo/7 of 
Atlanta—over the regions made sacred by 
the labors of our missionaries among the 
Cherokees, and by the wrongs inflicted upon 
the latter, but which I saw swept by the fiery 
besom of war, until the land was "waste 
without inhabitant, and the houses without a 
man." How omen there awl elsewhere have 
THREE MEN OF SIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S 
COMMAND SUPPOSED TO BE ALIVE.-Hen-
ry Gritmel, Esq., of New York, has received 
a highly interesting letter from Capt. Hall, 
the Arctic explorer. He has discovered 
that in all probability, three of the men of 
Sir John Franklin's Arctic expedition yet 
survive, and are living among the Indians. 
One of these supposed survivors is said to-,be 
Crosier, wino succeeded Sir John Franklin 
in command of the expedition. If there be 
any thing in this, we shall have more Arc-
tic voyages. --- 
DELAY NOT.-"You shall not surely die," 
is the old falsehood which the serpent has 
been whispering into tine ears of mortals ever 
since he breathed it into the ear of our first 
mother. Instead of seeking to know a truth 
of such infinite concern to us, we seek to 
stifle the voice of conscience, that we may 
listen undisturbed to the pleasant song of 
our destroyer. How many are trusting to 
the last few hours of life for preparation for 
eternity ! "God is so merciful," they say, 
"that he will listen to their earnest cry for 
mercy on a dying bed." 
"I only want five minutes to call upon 
God before I die," was tine remark of one 
who wished to enjoy the pleasures of this 
life unrestrained, and yet escape the just pun.

To the lute's merry sound. 
With gold and with garlands

ments puts us all on a footing of equal-
ity. No building is outwardly more in-
viting than another, and therefore 1 
count that my good star alone has pro-
cured me the happiness of having you 
for my guest. We all consider the ex-
ercise of hospitality as a privilege. 
Frenchman.-But, pray tell me, 
would you treat all travellers with the 
same hospitality? 
Old Man.-The only distinction we 
make is, that if the traveller be rich, our 
delicacy to one another and to him 
prompts us to wait motionless at our 
doors until he has made his own selec-
tion of a nesting-place; but if he be poor 
and miserable, we all run out to meet 
him as soon as he appears in sight-for 
poverty often renders men timid and dif-
fident; and in this case the pleasure of 
assisting him is the right of the person 
who reaches him first. 
Frenchman.-The law of Mahomet 
cannot be followed with greater exacti-
tude. 
Old Man.-Nay, we do not believe 
that in exercising our hospitality, we 
obey this divine law. We are men be-
fore we are Mahometans. Humanity 
has dictated our customs, and they are 
more ancient than the law.

THOUGHTS ON HEALTH. 
W
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 counting-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 labo
r, 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 th- summer's sun, dreams not that 
disease can penetrate the shield of health that now 
protect him, ard would laugh in 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 coming 
and his presence, calleth 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 brairils become debilitated, 
constipation holds them in an abnormal condition. 
Sick-headache, heart-burn cramps, colic pains, weari-
ness, complete depres-ion, and finally every vestige of 
energy and s rength are gone, and our sturdy, impreg-
nable yeoman yields in de,pair 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 dypeptio monarch, wodld 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 a.-cl alcoholic beverages, all recommended as 
splendid tonics, of great medicinal value, and com-
pounded f 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-
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 ot Dyspepsia. We reier to 
"Coe's Dyspeptic Cure," an article prepared by 
Clark, 86 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 
Cue'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 fsr several years, and 
have tried everything, without help, until some three 
weeks ago, I bought from you a single bottle of this 
Coe's Dyspeptic Cure. It helped me immediately. I 
have gained eight pounds within the time, and have 
had no signs of any Dyspepsia. I consider myself 
cpred. But [am going away into a distant State upon 
a visit, and I dare not go without it, and I will take 
two bottles, as some of my relatives may need it. I 
have told several of my neighbors of its wonderful ef-
fects upon myself, and in three instances where they 
have procured it, (and they are the only ones I have 
heard from) their experience has b en the same as 
mine." We did not learn the gentleman's name, but 
these are the facts, in the main, as 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, ne 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 its affluent cir-
cumstances you cannot value the cost, which compared 
with 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 id disease, but must be indulged, 
as we believe we have met the needs and requirements 
of the largest class of sufferers. But we would not fail 
in this connection to refer to the great danger all are 
subject to at this season of the year ft on, the sudden 
changes of the weather, a snapping, biting csld 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 
f croup upon some of the children, shacking 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 alum,, 
sitting in a draft of air, especially when in a perspira-
tion. Should you however, by carelessness or misfor-
tune get "elected" with a cough or cold, or pulmonary 
attack, we know of no article in the world which we 
could recommend.as conscientiously over "Coe's Cough 
Balsam," and this calls to mind an "item;" as we were 
passing the warehouse a day or 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 readers, and assuring you that if 
any one of you who chance tube 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 -

to notice how forbearing we grew to one 
another; the child's great loss, worn like 
a flower-crown on the head of some pic-
tured saint, made our petty discomforts 
all melt away. The young lady began 
to play with' the baby, the old gentle-
man with the dog, and I, who object to 
all gratuities on the principle of never 
having any money to spare, was abso-
lutely pleased when the mighty woman 
handed back her change to her van-
quished foe, saying: 
"Never mind the penny, conductor." 
Even the cross woman grew quite in-
teresting over a reminiscence of a youth 
she had known when she was a girl, 
who had recovered his sight after being 
blind for a year. 
I think, if instead of being a plucked 
civil service candidate, I could be a 
woman with a mission, I would choose 
that of my unconscious little Clytie. 
A HOTTENTOT FABLE. 
There is a literature, it appears, even 
in the land of the Hottentots, fora Mr. 
Bleek has compiled a number of Hot-
tentot legends, comprising seven ghost 
stories, four accounts of men and ani-
mals, eleven hundred tales, one legend 
and one fable, and published them under 
the clumsy title of "Reynard, the Fox, 
in South America." The materials for 
the compilation were original manu-
scripts in the library of Sir George Gray. 
Here is a specimen legend which con-
tains an idea almost identical with that 
in the famous story of the Fisherman 
Genii in the "Arabian Nights :"- 
"A Dutchman was walking by him-
self, and saw a snake lying under a 
large stone. The snake implored his 
help; but when she had become free 
she said, 'Now I shall eat you.' 
The man answered, 'That is not 
right. Let its first go to the Hare.' 
When the Hare heard the affair he 
said, 'It is right.' No,' said the man, 
get us ask the Hyena.' The Hyena de-
clared the same, saying, 'It is right.' 
'Now let us ask the Jackal,' said the 
Man in despair. 
The Jackal answered very slowly 
and considerately, doubting the whole 
affair, and demanding to see first the 
place, and whether the man was able to 
lift the stone. The Snake lay down, 
and the Man to prove the truth of his 
account, put the stone again over her. 
When she was fast, the Jackal said, 
'Now let her lie there.' "

without first trying to convince himself 
that he is right and has been' abused, 
and that his father 'or teacher is a very 
hard-hearted creature. 
Perhaps you will say, "I would honor 
my father and my mother if they were 
only rich, so that we could have every 
thing we want, and if they were edu-
cated and refined, a real gentleman and 
a real lady; but how can 1 honor one 
who is poor and uneducated, and not 
respected and not refined, and who is at 
times impatient and fretful, and some-
times even violent and passionate? My 
dear boy, God knew there would be just 
such parents, and he knew how hard it 
would be to respect and honor such, and 
so he has provided for it in two ways; 
first, by laying his own command on us, 
and secondly by promising us a special 
reward. "Thy days shall be long," the 
first and last command with a promise. 
Honor thy father and thy mother be-
cause they are thy parents, and though 
they may make mistakes sometimes, 
r they mean to seek only your good. 
Second mistake: That anything vul-
gar or sinful can be manly. 
Boys sometimes-perhaps often, get 
the notion that it is manly for a boy to 
smoke, or to use tobacco, because men, 
and respectable men do it; that to use 
profane, or vulgar, or obscene language 
. is manly ; that to be irreverent and low 
in speech is manly because men do so 
at times. A sad mistake, I assure you. 
If such men are allowed in good society 
it is in spite of these things, and not in 
consequence of them. I have never 
seen a father who, as I thought, really 
wanted to have his boy learn to smoke, 
or to be vulgar or profane; and what 
would you think of a father, who, every 
morning, at family worship should pray 
that his son might that day learn to use 
one more intense oath, or might learn to 
blaspheme the name of God with new 
glibness. Now is it right to do anything 
for which we may not pray? And 
what would your mother say if in the 
morning she should find her boy kneel-
ing down and praying God to help him 
to be more profane, or to use viler lan-
guage than ever before? And yet you 
know that many a boy will use lan-
guage and oaths and vile speech during 
the day, on which he dares not think 
when he meets God alone in the dark. 
Know then, my boy, that if you think 
that any thing that is low or vulgar, or 
such as you would not want to say or 
do before your mother or sister, is man-
ly, you are mistaken. "Sin is a reproach 
to any people," and to none more so 
than to young people. And as to those 
low, vile men who would teach you 
vile things, and encourage you to be 
vulgar or profane, shun them as you 
would demons from the bottomless pit. 
Third mistake: That you can break 
off bad habits any time you please. 
You will often meet with boys who 
boast that they are not tied by bad 
 ; so that at any time they please 
they can stop doing this or that; they 
can stop having wicked thoughts when-
ever they please-stop using profane 
language, and have the imagination and 
words all pure, whenever they please; 
but let them try, and then see. The 
trouble is, they wont "please," and they 
wont try to do it. You might just as 
well dip your hands in tar and keep 
that on them a month, atid then say, 
"0, 1 can wash it all off in a moment, 
whenever I please." You might just as 
well swallow poison, and say, "I can 
throw it all out of my system any mo-
ment I please." What would you think 
of a boy who should play with a mad 
dog or a rattlesnake, under the belief 
that he could expel the poison of their 
bite at any moment ? No. Sin is like 
pitch-it will stick to you. It is like 
poison, it will not go at your bidding. 
Many a boy drinks this poison through 
a vile book, a vile picture, or a viler 
companion, till his soul is defiled, his 
imagination is polluted and made a den 
of unclean things, and a rendezvous of 
unclean spirits, all the rest of his life. 
All the waters of the Nile could not 
wash such a heart clean. No boy can 
conceive what shame, what bondage, 
what remorse, and misery he is laying 
up for himself even in this life, by early 
or secret indulgence in sin. These sins 
are like little ropes, but they hang you 
over the bottomless pit. The waters of 
Jordan once cleansed one leaper, and 
that was a miracle; but no waters can 
make your soul pure when once polluted. 
It is easy to learn to sin, but to break 
away from it when once learned is al-
most superhuman.-John Todd in Con-
gregationalist. 
GREAT 
HUMOR REMEDY!

VEGETABLE 
CANCER AND CANKER 
SYRUP 
Zitt t amity Tirrit. 
A mighty woman with a bundle, a 
cross woman with a baby, an uncom-
fortable woman with a dog, an old gen-
tleman with an ear-tvimpet, a beaming 
young lady with an expansive crinoline, 
and the usual complement of nothing-
particular-people, including minesel f, 
John Hayes, gentleman at large. I 
would not have been inside if I could 
have helped it; nor in an omnibus at 
all, if I could hav-e helped it; and judg-
ing from the surrounding faces, we were 
all in the same plight. We were all 
hot, and we all hated one another. 
When a fellow-creature is visibly radi-
ating the caloric one already has in ex-
cess, hatred for him, or even her fellows 
in logical sequence, and we were wait-
ing for more passengers. 
"Please help me in, I'm blind." It 
was the tiniest, sweetest voice; we all 
turned to see a little girl lay her hand 
confidingly on the conductor's arm. 
took her from him as fearfully as it she 
had been in very truth what she looked 
like-my parian Cletic-the same pure, 
sweet face, with the delicate features 
and drooping white eyelids; but the 
sadness of her pallor was relieved by 
the vivid dark gold of her hair, which 
fell in soft thick rolls into her neck. 
"Isn't theme a dog here 1" she said, 
presently. 
"Yes, darling," and the dog's owner, 
as she handed it to the child, looked un-
comfortable no longer, the blind face 
turned to hers seemed to charm away 
its nervousness. 
"What a deor little fellow !" said 
Clytie, and the rough terrier grew popu-
lar. 
"Do they let you go far alone ?" said 
the cross woman. 
"0, yes. The little one gave a low, 
glad laugh of triumph. "I've been to 
the blind school ; I can do everything 
for myself now." 
"Would you mind saying that again, 
my dear? I'm very deaf," said the old 
gentleman. She repeated her sentence, 
adding., with an odd, womanly pity, "It 
must be so sad to be deaf," 
I said involuntarily, "You don't look 
as though you were ever sad." 
"I? 0 no, I never am, now Emy is 
well." 
"Who is Emy 
"Why, my little sister. 0! such a 
little darling; but she was ill for a long 
time, so long." 
Clytie's voice falteied, as though she 
were living over again a great sorrow. 
"But she is well now ?" I said. 
"0 yes, quite strong; and it is so 
nice." 
"Have you many sisters and broth-
ers?" asked the young lady. 
"No, only Erny, and one brother, baby 
Tom; he's such a great, fat fellow, and 
he laughs, you can't think how he 
laughs." 
If it was anything like the musical 
rill his sister sent rippling through the 
air, I should like to have heard that 
baby. 
"What does he laugh at ?" said the 
cross woman. 
"0 everything; at Emy and me, 
when we play Punch and Judy; and 
at dinner, when there's dumplings; and 
sometimes he lies on the floor and laughs 
at himself; and we laugh too, it's so 
funny." 
The little one's laugh was infections, 
we all joined in, with various modula-
tions of the roar of the deaf gentleman, 
who could n't stop himself, and setting 
us off again, little Clytie clapping her 
soft gloved hands till she made the dog 
bark, and the conductor looked in to say 
-"Well, if ever I saw such a row." 
"Euston-road, please," said Clytie, 
turning into a business woman all at 
once. 
The unwelcome place seemed to come 
directly; as I turned from helping the 
child out, I saw the cross woman's face 
breaking up into tears. 
"It's queer," she said, "but I feel like 
to cry to see her so merry." 
1 was unpleasantly conscious of what 
my dear dead mother used to call the 
apple in my throat, so I was grateful to 
the deaf gentleman for saying "Eh !" 
and saving the effort of replying. We 
all fell into quietness, but it was curious

In cases of GENERAL DEBILITY, from whatever 
cause, the Syrup can be relied upon as a most effectual 
aid. 
It is a most cerl'ain cure for RICKETS, a diseese 
common to children. 
Its efficacy in all diseases originating in a depraved 
state of the blood or other fluids of the body is unsur-
passed. 
Its effects upon the system are truly astoni hing and 
almost beyond belief to one who has not witnessed

This Syrup will as certainly cure the diseases for 
which it is recommended as a trial is given it, and the

VEVER and Ague is not 
the only consequence of 
the miasmatic poison. A 
great variety of disorders 
arise from its irritation, in 
Among the many good things written 
and printed to guide ministers and rulers, 
fathers and mothers, and the like, I do 
not recollect of ever reading a good arti-
cle in a good religious paper addressed 
to BOYS, or for their special benefit. 
These are not young men, nor yet chil-
dren. They are boys! and I look upon 
them with great interest. They are 
soon to be young men, and then men, 
and the interests of the church and of 
the nation wiii be in their hands. 
Now, my nervous, restless young 
friend, there is no period of life in which 
you are in danger of making so many 
mistakes as in boyhood. So sit down a 
few minutes and listen, while I point 
out to you some of the mistakes which 
you are very liable to make. 
First mistake: 
That parents and 
teachers often thwart you just because 
they have the power. 
You know that parents and teachers 
have often forbid your doing this or 
that, and directed you to do what you 
don't want to do, or what you think 
may just as well be put off, or that 
might be done in some easier way. 
Then you feel that you know all about 
it as well as they do, and better too, 
and so you have a right to resist and 
contest the thing, and certainly to grum-
ble about it. It seems to you that they 
love to command, and make you do the 
very thing that you don't want to do, 
and so you ask, "what good will it do?" 
or, "why can't I do it some other time ?" 
or you go about it muttering and mur-
muring, as if greatly abused. 
Now understand that this is a great 
mistake. The parent who will toil from 
early dawn till you are asleep in the In the "Memoires" of De Tott, a 
evening to support you, and who will story is told of the hospitality of the 
watch over you day and night when you Tartars, which is worthy of being 
are sick, loves you too well to lay one wrought with threads of gold on silken 
command on you which is not for your tablets, and hung up at the fireside of 
good to obey. Does that parent ever every house. The exact words of the 
bid you crush your finger in a vice, or original have escaped my memory, but 
bruise it with a hammer, or make you their purport is not to be forgotten. 
freeze your feet in the snow? Does the The French resident to the Knan of 
teacher ever rejoice when you are in the Tartars, while travelling through 
pain, or contrive how he can make your Tartary, on his route to Constantinople, 
head ache? Why, then, should it give having arrived, towards dusk, at a vii-
them pleasure to hurt your feelings, or lage in Bessarabia, was surprised to find 
to cross Your will, unless they do it for the proprietor of every house standing at 
your good? I do not believe that the his door. He selected for his host a 
parent or teacher, in one case out of a venerable old man, whose amiable ap-
thousand, ever thwarts a boy unless he pearance attracted him, and begged an 
thinks it for his good. To array your- explanation of the custom which had 
self against this authority, then, is a excited his curiosity. 
mistake, but a very common one. I Obi Man.-Our eagerness to show 
don't believe a boy ever rebels, or plays ourselves at our doors is only to prove 
truant, or runs away from his home, I to the traveller that our houses are in- 
rnalarious districts, among 
which are Neuralgia, Rheu- 
matism, Gout, Headache, 
Blindness, Toothache, Ear-
ache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpitation, Painful Affection 
of the Spleen, Hysterics, Pain in the Bowels, Colic, 
Paralysis, and Derangement of the Stomach, all of 
which when originating in this cause put on the in-
termittent type, or become periodical. This "Curie" 
expels the poison from the blood, and thus cures them 
all alike. It is not only the most effectual remedy 
ever discovered for this class of complaints, but it is 
the cheapest, and moreover is perfectly safe. No 
harm can arise from its use, and the patient when 
cured is lef. as healthy as if he had never hal the dis-
ease. Can this be said of any other cure for Chills and 
Fever? It is true of this, and its importance to those 
afflicted with the complaint cannot. be over estimated. 
So sure is it to cure the Fever and Ague, that it may 
be truthfully said to be a certain remedy. One Dealer 
complains that it is not a good medicine to sell, be-
cause one bottle cures a whole neighborhood.

HOWE & STEVENS' FAMILY DYE COLORS.-' 
THE FAMILY DYE COLORS manufactured by those well 
known chemists, Howe dc Stevens, 260 Broadway, are 
in general demand throughout the country. This is 
just what might be expected, when the beauty, per-
manency and general excellence of the dyes is con-
sidered. They are no less economical than excellent ; 
can readily be used by every family; in a few hours 
any material or garment can be colored to any hue de-
sired, and in a style not equalled by any dyeing es-
tablishment in the land. The demand for the Family 
Dyes is constantly increasing. Once tried they become 
indispensable.
