Bat ia it certain there ynm any shape or form famisbed for the primitive chnrches? Why might not this matter have been left to the pmdence and wis-dom of sagacions leaders, to climate, to the convenience of the people, to their modes of thinkipg and propriety? Such a supposition disparages the wisdom and goodness of God. Noah was instnicted specifically in regard to the ark, Moses in regard to the tabernacle, and Solomon abont the temple; bnt what were all these strnctnres in comparison with the Spiritual Temple of the Lord, in which he is to dwell forever—the real body and gpoose of Christ the Redeemer? The church " is the light of the world "the salt of the ear^i;" whose messen-gers " are the glory of Christ," Wonl'd the Lawgiver in Zion hare a subject of such magnitude to chance as unworthy of his notice? The thought is supremely ridiculous and impious. "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I bare commanded you"—any defect was to te supplied by the Spirit througli inspired apostle.'. The. materials, the qualifications of members, the exemplars,' are on record for our information; The order in which thitjgs were donie arid prescribed famish distinct' and clear instruction. Can any intdligent 'man aver that he cannot ascertain the nature of the materials and ordinance of the New Testament Chnrchra ?

For centuries the whole Christian world has opposed in practice the cardinal doc-trine of the New Testament—a convert-ed church membersh^ only, and exact following the example of primitive Chris-tiana. Were it not for the eilbrts of Baptists, this primitive idea would lost, and no voice heard against this source of cormption-i-this imngliflg the church and the worid in unholy com-munion. Were it not fbr the Baptists constantly insisting on a converted, re-generated membership only, fn all the churches, formalista, hypocrites and in-fants would be a commuding ntajority. What, but their e^rta to keep the churches pure, prevents many from fall-ing into tTnitarianisnj Fniversalism, and formalism, as did evangelical Congrega-tionalists in New England in the earfy j>art of this century ? In half a cpirtnry the churches wonldcoctaui perhaps a few old members walking in the «eps of faith' ful Abraham; the larger . par^ iu evangelical doctrine and prumtive httA refigion, would not know their right band from the left.

"They aH drank of that rock, and that rock was Christ "—peffo in both places. (1 Corl x.4.)

If Jesns had appointed Peter visible !iead of the church, wonld he have, in the same chapter, disgraced hinl with the odious appellation of Satan ? Did his elevation fill him with the spirit and qualities of accuser, adversary, calnmni-ator? Did the omniscient Savior nomi-nate the ^feat adversary of souls to be visible bead of his church, when he knew what was in man ? Yon deny his divin-ity or disparage bis wisdom. Again: Paml was an acknowledged apostle o Jesns Christ, for he had »een the Ziyrd, and wa« sent by him to bear bi« name before Gentiles, Jews and Kings. (Acts IX.) . In the famous council at Jerusalem, James, Cephas and John, pillars in the church, gave Panl and Barnabas the right hand' of fellowship. (Gal. iL 0.) Peter calls Paul "beloved brother" (2 PetCTiil 15). If Peter, resident in Rbme, was primate of all Christendom, wonld he have suffered Paul to rent a house f^r two years, in-'which to preach and re-crive inquiriers concerning the kingdom of Jesus? Would he not-have opened the Cathedral for his accommodation, or fhmnhed a roOm without expense, as they were both engaged in the same glorious cause? (ActSTxviiL) Accord-ing io the inscriptions, Paul wrote sev-eral «][ tle8 while at Rome, yet, though several of the brethren are named, Peter is not once mentioned ; this 4eems strange, thM Paul should ignored ^e visi-ble head of the church. Bnt Panl had blamed him to' his face for his tergiver-sation ; hence he was rexed, and aft«^ ward showed him no respect. This apol-ogy m^ht quiet the ensiHciOns of Apella the jew, bnt not Tead ra of tjjis period. The proof has not been made out that Peter i w ever in Rome.

Between the CluiitiAn there is but a pitep. :A deep,, n a q ^ river .intervenes, over wUch h soon wil pasi - Here hai* a ^pilgrim,.haying nc city of abode, ,bnt he one whone builder and maker, ia iHere^e, b-borg, suffers and stra^lea hard through many trials and seas of tribolation. Keen are the heart-pangs he experienoes in oonfiicte witii «io. Mimy are the; tears he sheds over, .his i is-ipent time, hia hasty words, hia, wick^ thoughts, his acta of disobednnce, and the negligence and danger of Ida fellow-m^ D^p are the wounds inflicted on hia poor, wee! natoie by sad and heart-rending bereave-ment& That narrow river separates us from many dear ones gone before. How we lingered near the bed, and watched the failing light of life as it ebbed away They have passed over. We are wait-ing. Here we are separated from the dearest object of our affections—Jesns— the name that is above every name— the object of our faith and heart's purest love—our hope, joy, and everlasting klL When we first believed and lovbd though we saw him not, yet we rejoicei with joy unspeakable and full ofl "glory. How mnch more will we rejoice when the river shall have been crossed, and <eye to eye, and face to &ce, we shall see him as he is, and shaU be like him, and ahall know even as we are known.

To lay aside mortality and put on im-mortality—to drop corruption and take ncormption — to le ve a dishonored marred and sin-polluted l ^ y andputon one spiritual, glorious, and transcendaQt-y beautiful-tell me, is this gain? Is

everlasting sunshine and springtimepref-erable to clouds and dreary winter? lathe society of the redeemed, the angeli>, an< Jeans, to be coveted? Then, to die is gki^

But our work is not«done. It is need ful that we struggle on and suffer a little onger. There is something very pleasant in the discharge of duty. God gives Ws faithful followers great consolation, many rich feasts of his love, and bright fore-tastes of the joys to come. Let y® labor while it is day—Grod is calling us into bis vineyard—the harvest.is white—then say not there are yet four months, an^ then Cometh tha harvest. The laborerB are few, tbe work is great, and. who is sufficient for these things? Soine are caviling and disputing who is thegreater, who is in the right field, who has tbe right to work, and how long we bave to work, etc. But who is that faithful serv--ant" who stands day and night on the' watch-tower, and cries to all, sayings " Here is the water of life, come, and let him that beareth say come," etc,, We lave no time for cavil, none for ease and idle indulgence. . Sinners are? perishing round us. And there is no gain in ifcath' to the sinner. He leaps from a worid of trouble and disappointment, to one of utter despair., Dear,Christian, believe, ope, love, labor; and pi«y, and then to

die will be your gain.

I'For I s»y unio yon, among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist, bnt he that is least in the kingdom of God, is gKater than he." (Luke Til. 28.)

Some wkks back 1 sawMn THE BAP-TIST a solution of this text, by saying the term Uaat should read later—" Re that is later in tbe kingdom of God is greater," eta This rendering wsts not ftilly satis-factory ; tbe basis appears too broad, fer it shows that all that were ^ later in the kingdom than John were least, etc., a thing that conld not be) and that they were greater than he. Christ had refer-ence to sortie one individnal that w<u least :n the kingdom, and that he was greater than John. I cnderstand theftasn^eto teach that the kingdom of G ^ in the quotation was the kingdom that "the God of beaVen was to set up," and that Christ Was the least in the Ungdom, not less than John, but be was leari, less than all otbm. • •

The most bnmiliating position that we can conceive of is thai of a servant. Christ was a servant, and a servant of all, and was obedient' even until death. Here, then, was the least or most bumble >osition that any conld, or ever did, oc-cupy, save Christ; consequently in this sense he was least of all others. Yet the Bible holds out promtnentiy that Christ was greater than John the Baptbt. Con-clusions might bo drawn from these >remt8es that tbe kin^om was set ap in

the days of John, and that Christ was in it while a servant, etc., ete. If I am wrong I ask for light from wiser heads, and abler pens. R. DAT.

6. Again says the apostle Paul; " If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things ? " If ministers are the in-atraments in God's hands of bestowing upon the people the great blessings o: the gospel, is it to be regarded as unjust or bordensopie if they receive carnal things in return ?—those things that are needful for their support ? Which bless-ings are of the greater value, spiritual or carnal? - Is it supposed that ministers expect that for which they have not given full value? How will yon go about estimating the blessings of the gospel, eternal life, etc., in dollars and cents ? If they receive a supply for their temporal wants, they, under God, impart the hopes and consolations of the gospeL The blessings they impart are much more valuable than those they receive. They, as Christ's embassadors, bring to the people those truths which are able to make them wise unto salvation.« They, as God's instraments, bring etemal life, and if " all that a man hath he will give for his life," what will he not be willing to give for the eternal life of both soul and body ? What are all camal things in comparison with those spiritual bless ngs that are bestowed through the preaching of the gospel? For " i t i sb ; the foolishness of preaching that 6o( saves them that believe." " Is it then

great thing, if we shall reap yonr carnal things? Nay, ye are the debt-ors, and not «?e." When a man can tel how much his own salvation is worth, or the salvation of his wife, or son, or daughter, then, perhaps, he may be ena bled to begin to estimate his indebted-ness to the minister who,' as God's in-stmment, has brought that salvation to himself or family. And yet there are those who suppose they are bestowing charity when they cast in their mitM to the support of their preacher, and wi! even talk of giving to the- ministry God. But Paul continues: " Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live oftht thingt of the tem pie? And they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? Even so hath'fffe Liord ordidned that they which preach the gospel shoold live of the gos-peL"

I am well aware that many individuals and churches seek to dodge behind a )lcaof poverty to screen themselves from

the punishment due a neglect of duty. ! Jut I shall never be willing to admit the >lea as being valid until they quit spend-ng so much for tobacco and whisky and

other things that are eqtially discredita-ble to the Christian profession. There is enough spent foolishly, sinfully, annu-ally by the professed followers of Christ to send the gospel to every tribe and dndred on the earth.

It is strange to me that a Christian can thus waste the goods which the Master las intrasted to his care, when there are millions of Adam's race sinking annually to the gulf of dark despair, without the bread of etemal life. The thought of the folly and sinful extravagance of professed overs of Jesus is enough to sicken the

Christian heart, and cause it to moan in conseqnence of the worldliness and bar-ren state of God's professed Zion. Verily, many of ns have departed from the "old paths." May God euable us to "consider our ways," and discern where-in we have departed from the right way, and help us to rc-tura to the path of duty. Amen, and amen.

cnniBTiAX xiKiox.—yo. r. POBIC.

Three arguments of sectarians remain to be considered. There is, perhaps, an mpropriety in dignfying as an argument

that which is no argument; but as ourPedo brethren rely on them as arguments, will examine them as such. The following s relied on with great confidence:

The sects, as they now exist, act as checks upon each othei^ and also stimu late each other to zeal and activity. We have here the substancc of a system ol reasoning which appears to be quite sat-isfactory to a large class of religionists. If we were to judge of the soundness oi the above by the confidence of those who promulgate it, we should be utterly overwhelmed by its force. But I have several very serious objections to it, which I will state as briefly as I can.

1. I object to this argument because it is not only not Scriptural, but it is very nnreasotoable. These sects appear to some to be a beaatifal system of checks by whldi heresy is to be kept out of the cWch. What an admirable arrange-ment! Here, we are told, is the perfec-tion of wisdom. We shall soon see, how-ever, that it is not the wisdom of God. I reiiBnn here, what I have before proven, that all sectarianism exists by a depart-ure from the tmth. This is evident from the fiwt that if every one would receive the Scriptures in their true meaning, we would 1w together. There would be no room jfor sectarianism. It is error that dSvidM M Truth is unique; error is not. Kow, what is the'state of the case? The advpoates of aeotarianism on the prinoi-pie now befitfe us must adfoeate the introduotioa of orror iatathe world bi Order to efeata a suitable rismedy for tUs error. The heresy w1il(sh fills the world with ^Tiiion is supposed to tarn ^^aiastitsdH This is like the doetor lAo Hi^ ttukm bis patient siek, in order to fiatf todbi ^ s i i B ^ bealbgr or the mMuj^a pmrdl^^u idg to bite bin, that W cure the w o s ^ tritb the bilr Of tba dpg.

we n«ed no ebedts^, Our opponrats dis-cover in this argument no accuracy of thinking. They suppose sep^rianisin to act in a direction in which/by the Jvery natnrrof tiie eaa^ ifc eanaot aeU

Now, as we have seen that these sects ara the offiipting of error, it is most un-natural that the child shouldtura against the mother. Whilst these children of corruption may ocoauonally strike each otbei^s mother, they will always be won-drous kind to their own. The tendency will ever be to foster heresy. We have in the branch theory an illustration o: the tendency of this evil. Each Pedo denominatiop, in providing. for its own safety, is compelled to provide for the safety of all others. The shelter wUch the Methodist makes to protect the errors which gavo birth to his church, will shel-ter every error under heaven. Troth has no greater enemy than this systeoi of checks—so called.

2. While I still urge the nnscriptural-ness of the argument, I have a speda' objection to tbe second part of it. We are told that w£ provoke each other's seal, and, therefore, more good is done. This is a very popular notion with great many. Now, I do not doubt at al that this is the secret of some {people's activity and zeal; bnt, while I ^ r e e with my Pedo brethren touching the fact, draw a very different argument from it. Instead of seeing in this an argument in fiivor of sectarianism, I discover in it a very potent one agunst i t Upon the sup-position that each sect is right, I am at a less to see why we should wish to exce our neighbors. Tbe triumph of any sect is the triumph of the cause of Go i If our desire is the glory of Gk>d, and noth ing else, there is no room here for the action of the prindple which is supposec to work out good. Bat if this argument is to tbe purpose of our opponents, they must allow that envy and selfishness play a part here. The motive is not good. It is here represented that the Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, etc., are prompted to l a ^ r to keep others from getting ahead of tbem. Is this the secret of the zeal of Pedobaptists? Are they willing that this should go to record agdnst them? If so, what goes with those lib-eral sentiments which we are called on to admire?—sentiments which are of the most liberalistio character^ and represent them as entirely disinterested actors in the scene?

The foundation of this argument is most unsound, and I apprehend that but few of our opponents would undertake to defend i t No people, indeed, are more forward to denounce this motive than thos^ who claim that it is to play a great part in Christianizing the world. What God may bring out of this confusion I cannot telL I believe, however, that he wUl overrule all to his glory. There is no doubt that in reality he is victor on every battie-field. But if God gets vie tory out of this confusion, he does it, not by virtue of its soundness, but in spite of its unsoundness. Upon this point, also, sectarians are unphilosophicaL They expect to bring a clean thing out of an unclean thing. They calculate that the motive which they in various ways condemn will act in a way con-trary to its nature. A motive essen-tially corrupt is to prompt men to holy obe^ence to God. We might easily show that the tendency of this principle is contrary to pure Christianity,' but we forbear^

My last objection is this: This argu-ment virtually oonvlcts Christ of igno-rance. This is A grave charge, but one that can be sustwned by ample proof When Christ built his c h u ^ he did not see the use of having more than ona Ho did not see what a oajntal thing it would be to have a dozen or more to stand gottd over each other, and keep each other out of heresy. That prayer of his

that bis people night be one, even as ba and his Father are one—was, to say the least, aot very prudent Paul's di-rsoUoa not to receive any who did not hold the ideaUeal doctrine preached by bim, aad whieb be received from God, was rery aawissk^ What a pity that Latber, Knoa, Henry V m , Wesley,and odwr foaadesa of aK>dem sects did not Hve soBM twriveoriftMAlivndredyean to inform Christ that i t woald b» a good thiiig have such obnrches as they ebtMasti^forbiBi. Alas! that Jesas fi^ BOi sea bow to prevent the appataoy of tibe third oeatury by having sevcoral cbnitdies t« cheek eaeh other. Now, theae tnodera braoohes of ^ m e are the wozfc of Bitt'a baads^ and are a good many «8Bt«riea too jooog to be tbe Church of < 9 n s t What an increase of wisdom in modem times! Christan< the: apo^ea would doubtless fw counted o l d - f o ^ In the s^^^ 'pf pur modem wiaa men. Slnally, if i t ia good toiiave these ieeis, Christ was not wise enoa^^ to see it in his day.

tions to thii, which p will state verv briefly: '

1. It changes the nature and ground of proof By dits principle, if we wish to know the wiU of God concembg any doctrine, we ask what success has at-tended the doctrine—not what do the Scriptures teach, but is it a success; if so, it is approved of God. It may con-tradict the Bible, but its success is evi-dence that it is of God. This overturns the Word of God.

2. Tlis kind of evidence will prove every t^g to be right By this rule Catholidsm has more proof in its &vor than any of us, because it has succeeded better. Universalism is of God, and so of every sect which has a foothold on earth. Judas was right in betraying Jesus, aad the Jews in crecifying him. If the measure of success is the mewure of right, the devil is more orthodox than any of us, seeing he is succeeding better. Again, by this principle a thing may be right in one country, and wrong in an-other. The Baptists are nearer right in Mississippi than the Methodists, because they are carrying the State. In another State the Methodists are nearer right than the Baptists because they are carry-ing that State. So of times: Some tune back, infidelity was right in Fra:3ce;now C^holicism mainly, and Protestantism is beginning to be right a little. Finally, if we wish to be nearest right, we must find out who is succeeding best, and join them. But the tide may turn, and some-body else will be near right No man can know whether he is right or not unless he can tell whether his party is now succeeding or not If they do not continue to succeed, they are wrong, though they hold the eame doctrine. This is a strange doctrine. I dismiss it without farther comment.

The last argument which I will notice is this: Every man now has a chance to be suited in a church, and so ia witboat excuse. Tiiis fiction requires bnt little comment These people seem to think that men cannot be left with excuse nnless we concoct a church to suit each one. Nothing could be wider of the mark than this. God has revealed his will in the Bible. It is every man's busi-ness to be suited with God's arrange-ments; but if some men are not suited, £t them know that God will not bend things about to suit tbem; neither will be authorize ns to do so. This is a mis-chievous principle, and will justify any number of perversions of Scripture. There are plenty of men who do not like repentance, faith, atonement, commonioD, baptism, etc., as taught in tbe Bible. Will the advocates of this doctrine tell us what to do with them ? The remedy, I suppose, is to so cbangc them as to malra them suit But we have a class ot >eople among us who cannot be suited with any of tbe sects. What shall be done with them? May be the demand in this case will create the supply, and we will yet have plenty of denominations before the world ends. Who can tell what is ahead ? According to modem theolf^y, anybody can build a church provid^ he will call it a branch of the church. It seems that Christ only began the work of making churches, and that we are not even obliged to follow his pattern in building. Christ is charged with much work in thii line, in these later days, with which I am sure he has had nothmg to do, and which h« will disclaim in a later day. -

Or night, or mom, or noon ; I know the breexe of twilight gray, That fans the check of dying day.

Doth ever whisper—Soon ?

I know not why our souls should donbt His promise to appear,

When every flower's opening eye Leoks up into the changing sky,

And seems to mnmnr—Near!

i know not round his blessed feet What peerless glories throng;

I only-know from rending tomb The good shall bnrat, in beanty'a bloom;

Aad Cftith assures—Not long I

I know not if hia chariot wheels Yet near or distant are ;

I only know each thunder-roll Doth w^ke an echo in my soul

That s»ith—Kot very far r

I know not if we long must wuit The summer of his smile;

I only know that hope doth sweep With thrilling touch my heart-strings deep,

And sings—A little while! I know not on this glorious theme

Why lips so oft are dumb; I only know the saddened earth Will flash with beaaty and with mirth

At sound of " t o , I come!"

"HONOB TO WJS0MH0S0JL>' The churoh at Lebanon, AIIL , of the

Baptist faith and order, appointed the aidenigned a committee to draft a pre amble and resolution expresmg the mind of the chureh in regard to our be-loved Bro. G. W. Potter, for yean a citi-zen of our community, and a futhful and zealous minister of the gospel They re-ported the following:

WnEMtAs, Our beloved brother, G. W. Potter, is called to another field of gos-pel labor; and whereas, he became a minister and was ordained by this churoh while a member with as; anc whereas, Gk>d has given us unmistakable evidences of his Word and work pros-pering in the hand of Bra Potter, in the refi^hing of God's people with all the comforts of the gospel, and sinnen being cut to the heart, confessing their sins and the power of the gospel; therefore,

Ruobaed, Hat we are assured that there is no minister more fully endowed with all those graces which make men ^ mighty and eloquent in the Scripture,' u d qu^ify him to gain the confidence o all who know him, thus giving him large access to the hearts of the people; fur-ther, that in parting with Bro. Potter our hearts sorrow as never before, and our grief can only be relieved by this effort to sustain him abroad ; there is no man takes with him more fully all the hearts of eld and young, whea leaving charch, Sunday-school and community, than he. We commend him, therefore, to all God's people, and all others, as deserving the highest regard and fullest confidence.

TIAK BUBflAL, Much has been said and written re-

cently on these topics in conaection with the burial ofasnidde in Mem^b and ofanaetorinNewYork. By a portion of the pres^ u d from at least one pulpit, much commendation has been bestowed on the "littie chureh around the aaner," as exemplifying, by reading the Episco-pal service for the dead over the body of the a(^r, a bright trait of the charity that '*suffereth much and b kind,'' while the finger of scorn, perhaps of malice and hate, b pointed at the rector of a diurch of the same order who declined to do sa In the other case, a sort of popular ap-plause b lav^ed on a minbter who, by having some form of service ove* tha body of a poor, deluded man who had put an end to his own existence, b con-sidered as having, m some way, given it Christian buri^; while sneen wd abuse and denaaeiaticms of inhumanity are visited on the Epbcopal Bbhop and minbten who were restrained , from domg so somewhat, it may be supposed, ^ a canon of their chureh; mainly, I hope, by the higher consideration of un-willingness to do anything that would look like mockery to God. .

What b meant by Chrbtian burial? To the smcere Christian there it a defi-nite meaning; the service said over the body or at the grave of a true, or at least supposed true, believer, or over a child believed to be Christ's. The faithful, conscientious Protestant minister would probably feel himself authorized to say such services over the body of any one whom he supposed died a Chrbtian—a believer—whether of one denomination or another, or of none. The feithfal, conscientious Roman Catholic wonld probably have to confine himself within the limits of hb charch in the petform-ance of such duty. To the Protestant thb burial of a Chrbtian b but the com-memoration, of the Chrbtian life of the deceased or the innocency of one of those litUe ones of whom our Savior said, " Of such

b the kingdom of heaven;" it is the celebration of the death of one who, it b believed, has gone to heaven.. To the devout Catholic it is a like celebra-tion; or, if a doubt exbts, it b the first step to relieving the soul from purgato-rial puns. To both it b, or ought al' ways to be, an evidence—an act—ol real, devout wonhip to God, in that it b performed on or over those whom each believes to be " within the pale "—that is, God's aervant.

But what of Christian charity in con-nection with such burial? The popular idea, and the idea promulgated from, in thb respect, a liberal pulpit, or rather by its occupant, one claiming to be an ex-tra-libe;al nunister, b that it would cover the burying of a dead sinner aad an out-rageous vtoUtor of moral law, as in its exercise by our Savior it covered and conquered nn in the living and repentant one. From among many Magdalene, one alone, so far as wo know, was restored; from among the publicans but one. One womu caught in adultery was told to "go and Mn no more." Saul alone was taken from the many active penecnton; and so on, even to the thieves upon the cross, " one was taken and the other left" Christ's charity never, in a single instance, compromised an unrepented sm, and Chrbtiaaoharity—in its very essence as being exercued toward repentance—b precluded from a pretentious show over remuns that it may mourn over, as lost to God's love. In all the cases cited above, penitence, acknowledging God,and "be-lieving with the heart," preceded acoqit-ance and forgiveness.

With and among those who are ing themselves most busy in telling eaoh other what b Christian charity, and what Christian burial, very few make any pre-tenrien of being at all religious—but each seems to tlunk himself fully capable, by sneering at what the'aooimen call the

cant" of the professedly religions, aad by reviling them as "bigots," of explain-ipg all aboat it—and, it may be espe-cially noted, all such are profvudy liberal in every way, if you will take their word for it; 80 libenl that, like the overtaxed gun, they shoot way beyond the mark and kick the shooter

over. Bat, let me ask,b there not as much "cant" and •• b^try," and voant of charity in their mputations on othen as they all' ge ex-ists among thoae they sodffiagly call " the pare " who, fearing God rather thaa man, refase on pmdple to give Chria-tian buxiid to those who hare no possible clum to i t J.

Times' Wotuters—HTuU has been Ae-

€ompti»hed in th» Last I>eea{l€.

The works of centuries has been

crawded into a few months. The At-

lantic cable, which failed in 1858 and

again in 186&, became a success the

next year, and three lines of submarine

connection have bound the new to the

old world, and in alt the seas and along

all the shores of both hemispheres, the

iron links that almost girdle the whole

earth are laid. The Pacific railroad,

but a score of years ago a problem and

a puzzle, is in this decade a fact. The

work of which Ptolemy and Alexander

and €«sar dreamed, and which Napo-

leon meditated, has been accomplished

by French science, and the Suez Canal

marks an era in the world's progress.

The Mont Cenis tunnel is the last work

of the expiring decade, and French en-

terprise smooths the way that Hanni-

bal «and Charlemagne and the first

Najwleon found so difficult. Around

us on this continent great changes have

occurred. Canada has been remodeled.

Cuba for two years shakes off a yoke

that a great kingdom is powerless to

reimjtose. Mexico has slowly contend-

ed against a French intervention, and

by the bloody expiation of Maximilian

warned Europe of the peril of interfer-

ence here. Our relations with China

and Japan have grown closer. The

ancient empire committed to an Amei'-

ican the duty of bringing her within

the pale of international law, aiul to

the presence of the veiled ruler of Ja-

pan, our foremost statesman has pene-

trated, and has crowned our claim of

influence in Asia with this last evi-

dence of its merit. Jn these- ton years

Italy has become a united kin;;rdom,

and Spain has, in the throes of a rero;

lutidn, banished one royal house, and

prepared to establish another. Eussia

has emancipated 10,000,000 of sorffe,

most of whom arc now entirely fWe.

In England, liberalism has gained re-

forms in suffi-nge, and the church dis-

esitablishmcnt for Ireland. Prussia has

gained the ]>osition of a first-class

power, and exhibited unexpected mili-

tary strength. France, deceived and

dishonored, has suffered every humilia-

tion, but theyear closes with a brighter

prospect and a more eneonraging hope.

The Empire has vanished, and the Be-

publie rises, grounded in public confi-

dence, and by the. organiaation of

armies and the defense of Paris during

these last four months, shows that the

people, fireed from the incubus of impe-

rial authority, are competent to admin-

ister their own afiairs. W e might ex-

tend this brief review to great length,

and note a thousand other signs of

changeand progress. Enough is shown,

however, to dignify thia period of ten

years and to make our day the era

of the most splendid successes ever

achieved by» the human race.—iSTeir

SUCCESS JX LIFE.

Yon should constantly bear in mind

that hin«^ienthB of ns are, from the

yery nafureand necessities of the^world,

born to gain a livelihood by the si^eat

of dnr brows. What reason, then, have

we to prtonriie that bur children are not

to do the same? The path'npwardia

steep and long. Industry, carof skilly

excelleiicb in the parent, lay the fodn-

dation of a rise under more faverable

circiimstances to ihe children. The

children of these take another rise, by

and by the desoendanU of the prea8nt

Uiboror become gentlemen. Shis isthe

natural progress. It ii by attempting

to reach the top at a siBTgle leap that

so much misery is produobd in the

world. The education which is recom-

mended consists of bringing children

up to labor with steadiness, with care,

and with skill; to show them how to do

as many'ffsefhT things as possible; to

teach them to do ail in the bej t manner;

to set them an example of industry, so-

briety, cleanliness, and neatness y te

make all these habitual to them, so that

they shall never be liable to fall into

the contrary; to let them always see a

good living provided fh>m labor, and

thus remove from them the temptation

to get the goods of others by violent

and fraudulent means.—Nat. Baptist.

AN EXtRAORniNAUY SALE.

Before a court in the province of

Pesth, Hungary, says the Jetcish Times,

a suit was pending in which an aged

Jew was to make a statement under

oath. He was ready t6 take tho oath,

when anether Jew arose and protested

against it :

"This man dare not take an oath.

" W h y not ? " asked the Judge.

" There exists a Hebrew prayer which

contains the sentence that • every Jew

has a share in the life to come.' It is

now .about twenty years ago, While I

was present, when the man who is now

about to take an oath sold his ' share in

the life to come,' guaranteed to him in

tho prayer, to another Jew—a Mr. Y .—

who paid him a certain amount of

money for it. As he, therefore, cannot

count any longer on a fiitnre existence,

ho has nothing to fear or to hope for in

the life to come ; it must bo certainly

indifferent to him whether ho swear to

a truth or a falsehood."

Tho matter was examined into, and,

as the strange transaction was found to

have taken place in reality, tho court

granted the protest of tho old man, and

the man who sold his " .iharo in the life

to comc" was declared incapable of

taking an oath.

rerir Difftrent ieHh the Children.

So s:itd tho sexton as he trimmed and

dressed arid sodded with white clover

the little graves. On being asked why

he dressed them so carefully, he replied

revo?ently: " • Of such is the kingdom

of heaven.' And, sir, I cannot make

too nice and fino the bed-covering of a

little innocent sleeper, that is waiting

there till it is God's time to awaken it

and cover it with a white robe, and

waft it away to glory. When such

grandeur is awaiting it yonder, it is fit

it should bo decked out here. I think

the Savior will like to sofe white clover

spread above it; do you not think so,

too, sir?" "But tho larger graves—

the dust of all his saints is precious."

" A'ery true, sir; but I cannot bo sure

who arc his sainte, and who are not. I

hope there are many of them lying.in

this churchyard, but it would be great

presumption to make them out. Thcra

are some that I am pretty sure about,'

and I keep their graves as neat and

clean as I can. I plani a bit of flowers

hero and there as a sign of my hojMj,

but I dare nt»t, give them the white

skirt [referring/to^ tho white clover].

It's very different with the children%"—

SEA MOSS PARINK.—Tbis new and elegant preparalioD, made from Irish Moss, or Carrageen, is conceded to be the cheapest, healt^st and most delicioos food in liie world. As a deligbtfnl table dessert it has no equal, and is a light and. delicate food ior Invalids and dren. It is superior to all kindred pre-parations. This new article of food has every-where won "golden opinions" of ^ sorts of people, and the hoasekeepers of the land generally regard it in the doable light of a staple necessary d a delicious Inxnrv, lor while it lessens the expense of living, the exquisite dishes prepared from it cannot be obtained even at an extravagant cost from any other source. For twenty-five cents you can buy package which will make sixteen quarts of Blanc Mange, and a like quantity of Pudding, Custards, Creams, Charlotte Russe, RAND SEA UOSS FARINE CO., 5S PariL Place, If.

The GreaiSpriiigand Summer Tonic Medical treatment has been revolu-tionized, and at last the discovery has been made that RENOVATION, NOT PROSTRATION, IS THE TRUE MED-ICAL PHILOSOPHY.
