RELI6I0N, MORALS AND PHILOSOPHY, Rev. C. C. BRO WK, ?ditor. **HO ! REAPERS OF LITE'S HAR? VEST." i o This was the favorite hymn of the late Pr?sident and was sung as they commited bis body to the silent tomb 'He being dead, yet speaketh' to ns through this stirring exhortation. Let the solemn warning sink into every heart and awake ns to renewed activity. The night may come for ns as quickly as it did for him, and shall we stand mute before the Master with only emp? ty sheaves instead of golden grain ? Ho ! reaper? of life's harvest, "Why stand with rusted blade TJntil the night draws round thee, And day begin* to fade ? Wliy stand ye idle, waiting . " For reapers more to come ? \The golden morn is passing, Why sit ye idle, dumb? . ~ ^ Thrust in your sharked sickle, \ And gather ?yfhe grain, ?ne BjJ&hsfast approaching, ^Jfc&Q soon will come again. The Master calls for reapers, And shall He call in vain ? Shall sheaves lie there ungathered, And waste upon the plain? Come down from hill and mountain, In morning's ruddy glow, Nor wait until the dial Points to the noon below ; And come with stronger sinew, Nor faint in heat or cold, And paose not till the evening Draws round its wealth of gold. Mount up the heights of wisdom, And crash each error low ; Keep back no words of knowledge, That human hearts should know. Be faithful to thy mission, In service of thy Lord, And then a golden chaplet Shall be thy just reward. The Mighty Reformer. BY JEREMIAH S. BLACK. Keflect what kind of a world this was when the disciples of Chri-t un? dertook to reform it, and compare it { with the condition in whica theil \ teachings have put it. In its mighty \ metropolis, the centre o? its intellec? tual and political power, the best men were addicted to vices so deba? sing that I could not even ^allude to them without soiling the paper I write upon. All manner of unprinci? pled wickedness was practiced in the private life of the whole population without concealment or shame, and the magistrates were thoroughly aud universally corrupt Benevolence in any shape was altogether unknowu. The heiress and the weak got neither justice nor mecev^ JCherc was no relief for the poor,'rio succor for the j sick, no refuge for the unfortunate, j In all pagandom there was not a hospital, asylum, almshouse, or orga? nized charity of any sort. The in? difference to human life was literally frightful. The order of a successful leader to assassinate his opponents was always obeyed by hts followers with the utmost alacrity and pleasure. It was a special amusement of the populace to witness the shows at which men were compelled to kill one another, to be torn in pieces by wild fceasts, or otherwise "butchered to make a Roman holiday." In every province paganism enacted the same cold-blooded cruelties; oppression and j robbery ruled supreme; murder went rampaging and red over all the earth. The Church came, and her light pen? etrated this moral darkness like a new sun. She covered the globe with in? stitutions of mercy, and thousand upon thousands of her disciples devo? ted themselves exclusively to works of charity, at the sacrifice of every earthly interest. Her earliest adher? ents were killed without remorse beheaded, crucified, sawn asunder, thrown to the beasts, or covered with pitch, piled up in great heaps, and j slowly burnt to death. But her faith j was made perfect through suffering, and the law of love rose in triumph from the ashes of her martyrs. This religion has come down to us through the ages, attended all the way by righteousness, justice, temperance, j mercy, transparent truthfulness, ex- j ulting hope, and white winged char- ; ty. Never was its influence for good more plainly perceptible than now. . It has not converted, purified, and re- j formed all men, for its first principle, is the freedom of the human will, and there are those who choose to reject it. But, to the mass of mankind, di? rectly and indirectly, it has brought uncounted benefits and blessings. Abolish it-take away the restraints i which it imposes on evil passions; i silence the admonitions of its preach- j ers : let all Christians cease their labors of charity ; blot out from his tory the records of its heroic benevo-1 n^ lencas repeal the laws it has enacted and the" institutions it has built up ; let its moral principles be abandoned ? and all its miracles of light be ex- \ tinguished-what would we come to ! j I need not answer this question ; the experiment has been partially tried, j The French nation formally renounced j Christianity, denied the existence of ; the Supreme Being, and so satisfied j the hunger of the infidel heart lor a j time. What followed ? Universal de- ! pravity, garments rolled in blood, j fantastic crimes unimagined before, i which startled the earth with their i sublime atrocity. The Arr.erica? | people have and ought to have no j special desire to follow that terrible j example of guilt and misery. Miss JAXF otR.AY SWISIIELM has al-1 wavs seemed rather unfeminine in j her tastes and intellectual qualities. ? Her anti-slavery writings seemed j rather violent and censorious as ema- j nations from the charitable heart of j woman. Few newspaper corre^pon- j ?dents at Washington were so un- j Sparing iu personal criticism of dfstinguished statesmen. Lacking the j delicacy, refinement of feeling, chari ity, and truthfulness characteristic of j pe noblest womanhood, it is not j strange that she is the first American womsn of any literary pretensions j who has joined Ingersoll in his base bttacks upon the Bible-his construe- ? live blasphemies against religion. I Men who are tempted to do wrong, Ho not generally mean to do wrong ; j ?but their danger comes iu trying to ? see how sear they can come to wrong ! and not do it. ' Heart-Power. Heart-power is of a:l others thc most beneficent. Physical energy sub I dues matter, but the soul triumphs by force of its affections over the might? iest of obstacles. The heart of Christ is the seat and centre of this supre? macy over so many millions of our race. Ile is riot ranked as a genius, nor as au orator. Ile disdained the boasted charms of philosophy. Yet his speech distilled as the dew, and his words have an inexhaustible power, which neither du!ness nor ignorance nor depravity nor unbelief can resist. If we seek to find the reason of their power, we shall find it in that love which vitalises all the truth they express. Here, then, lies the secret of Christian usefulness. Ministers of the gospel, Sabbath school teachers, parents, all who desire to impart the gospel, must let it run through the fervid affections of the heart.

As a blood purifier thee is no medicine like it known to the profession. A gentleman told me that his son had been taking the Queen's Delight, and is more bcnci:ted by it than by any other medicine. Ile wants a dozen bottles." "Dr. E. He'nitsh:-Your medicine for Chills and Fever is a sure remedy.

It is thc purest, safest, and most effectual altera?ive medicine known or available to the public.

It stimulates and enlivens the vital functions, promotes energy and strength, restores and preserves health, and infuses new life and vigor throughout tho whole system. No sufferer from any dis? ease which arises from impurity of the blood need despair who will give Avrit's SARSAPARILLA a fair trial.
