RELIGION, MORALS AND PHILOSOPHY, j Rev. C. C. BROWN. Editor. Scotland's Maiden Martyr. -o A troop of soldiers waited at the door, A crowd of people gathered in the street. Aloof a little from the sabres bared And flashed into their faces. Then the door Was opened, and two women meekl j stepped Into the sunshine of the sweet May noon, Out of the prison. One was weak and old? A woman full of years, and full of woes, The other was a maiden in her morn, And they were one in name and one in faith; Mother and daughter in the bonds of Christ, That bound them closer than the ties of blood. The troops moved on, and down the sunny street The people followed, ever falling back, As in their faces flashed the naked blades. But in the midst the women simply went, As if they two were walking side by side, Up to God's bouse on some still Sabbath morn, Only they were not clad for Sabbath day, But as they went about their daily tasks, They went to prison and to death, Upon their Master's service. On the shore The troops of soldiers halt; the shining sands Lay bare and glistening. The creeping tide Had drawn back to its farthest weedy mark, j And each succeeding wave, with dash and curve, That seemed to mock the sabres on the shore, Drew nearer by a hand-breadth. "It will be A long day's," murmured those murderous men. As they slacked rein?the leaders of the troop Dismounting, and the people pressing near To hear the pardon proffered, with the oata Renouncing and denying part with all The persecuted covenanted folk. And both refused' the oath, "Because," they said, "Unless with Christ's dear servants we have part, We have no part with Him." On this they took The elder Margaret, and led her out Over the sliding sands, the weedy sludge, The pebbly shoals, far out, and fastened her Unto the farthest stake already reached By every rising wave, and left her there, As the waves crept about her feet, in prayer That He would uphold her in their midst, Who holds them in the hollow of His hand. The tide flowed in. And up and down the shore There paced the Provost, and the Laird of Lay? Grim Grierson; with Windrom and with Graham, And the rude soldiers jested, with rude oaths, As in the midst the maiden meekly stood Waiting, her doom delayed?said she would turn Before the tide, seek refuge in their arms From the chill waves. And ever to her lips There came the wondrous words of life and peace: "If God be for us, who can be against us?" "Who shall divide us from the love of Christ! Uor height, nor depth?" A voice cried from the crowd? A woman's voice, a very bitter cry? , "0 Margaret 1 my bonnie Margaret! Gie in, gie in, and dinna break my heatt: j Gie in, and take the oath." The tide flowed in? And so wore on the sunny afternoon ; And every fire went out upon the heart; And not a meal was tasted in the town Upon that day. And still the tide flowed in. Her mother's voice yet sounding in her ears, , They turned young Margaret's face toward the sea, Where something white was floating?some- , thing white As the sea mew sits upon the wave; j But as she looked it sank, then showed again, Then disappeared. And round the shoreward stake The tide stood ankle deep. Then Grierson, With cursing, vowed that he would wait no more, And to the stake the soldiers led her down, And tied her hands; and round her slender waist Too roughly cast the rope, for Windrom came And eased it, while he whispered in her ear, "Come, take the test." And one cried "Margaret, Say but God save the king." "God save^he king Of his great grace," she answered, but the oa:L She would not take. And still the tide flowed in, And drove the people back, and silenced ! them.. The tide flowed in, and rising to her knee, She sang the psalm, "To Thee I lift my soul." The tide flowed in; and rising to her waist, "To Thee, my God, I lift ray soul," she sang. The tide flowed in, and rising to her throat, She sang no more, but lifted up her face, And there was glory over all the sky ;? And there was glory over all the sea;? A flood of glory?and the lifted face Swam in it till it bowed beneath the flood, And Scotland's maiden martyr went to God. Character. The most vital point in a professor is his character. 1 know a man who always preaches well, but somehow I always feel in hearing him that there is no strong, valorous, redeemed man in it; it is the plea of a lawyer, j and might be on the other side ; nut j the wife's loyal and intense beseeching for her husband Preaching is God's i way of diffusing the truth, because by it j he adds a man to the truth. A preach er needs to have character, a self that cuts is more than education, culture, or skilled literary performance. Some men ought never to have been recos nized as preachers, because they never had cutting power. The weak brethren are as much out of place in the country as in the city Character in the preacher tells everywhere. Lack of it fails everywhere. I have known learn ing to be powerless, skilled serrnonic art to be lifeless ; but I have also seen character triumphant under the burdens of ignorance, aud even of physical defect. I knew a man who had a de fective palate, who has preached into the depths of my convictions, and stirred me as with a tempe t. The worst voices and the worst grammar have overcome me with a man clothed with Gospel behind them. If a preach er 'is not much of a man,' don't set him j to preaching. A preacher must be a i good deal of a man. The thought of universal peace is one of gradeur, of immense interest to all; and why any Christian or benevolent mind should Dot appreciate its magni tude, is hard to explain. A state of war is the greatest violation of reason whioh can be conceived. Sentimental Gush. A great deal of it flows from the lips of 'advanced thinkers' of the day in re ference to the Sabbath question. We beard one recently dilate oo the benefits of Sunday excursions to the poor work men of cities. He wished, that he owned a railroad. He would issue free tickets to hundreds of these toilers and to their families; carry them into the country, where their pale cheeks might be fanned by the sweet breezes, and j their eyes might gaze on the lonely flowers and babbling brooks, etc. He would not have any whiskey, any beer; nor would he ^distribute many tracts, but 'sacred concerts' and gospel talks and other pleasant little entertainments should fill up this ideal Sabbath This minister really thinks that this would be a better way for the poor to spend a summer Sunday, than church-going in the city. They say, 'We have to work all the week, and why shouldn't we have a good time Sunday? We cannot afford to lose a day's wages between Monday and Saturday; of course not, for we might lose our situation. The Lord's day comes conviently for this purpose. 'The Sabbath is made for man,' you know. Therefore, it is right for us to seek our own pleasure on what used to be called by Puritans 'God's Holy day." 'Yes,' chimed in another?he too an evangelical preacher and city pastor?'I take a Sunday paper. It is good, if for nothing else, to show that Cotton Mather is dead. The Sab bath is gene.' The Lord's day remains, he admitted, and he so far regarded it that 'he made a private arrangement with his conscience5 to read bis Sunday paper on Monday. He then attempted a weak defence of this form of desecra tion of the day of worship by saying that the work on the paper was done . mostly Saturday night; the circulation was made early Sunday morning; much of the reading was elevating, and that , we must take things as they are, for we , cannot change 'our belongings. A j i brother promptly replied that the 'Black j t Crook' was one of our 'belongings? j ] shall we therefore patronize this abomi- \ nation ? The world would never have | heard of a Luther, a Cromwell, a j Whitefield, or a Wesley, if this idea ( had dominated them, that we are to ; stoop to the level of sinful maxims and i 'level up;' that we are to encourage i evil men by participating with them in j j their sins, in order to coax them out of ( them. < It pains us to pen these lines. The ! prevailing sentiment of Christian peo- ! pie in regard to the Sabbath and other ( vital questions of the hour needs some i heathfal tonic. Can we wonder at the 2 wide-spread indifference to public wor ship, the dearth 01 revivals, and other signs of worldliness about us, so long as such ideas are promulgated by Christian ministers ? Sunday papers are not eleva- | ting. Their direct influence is to pre occupy the time that should be given to the sanctuary and to create a disrelish i for the preaching of the gospel. Sun- i ] day picnics are not the best means of j J grace for the poor. Said a man to us i who had two hundred persons in his < employment, 'Monday is uniformly a j lost day where Sunday excursions are , had. These are more wearisome than < week-day labor/ or words to that effect, s Sentimentality is not what we need. 1 Let U9 leave to Oscar Wilde?'who, if he has not been weighed has been found wanting,'?the gospel of aesthetics. He says that beauty, not morality, or immorality, is to determine the excel lence of things. We have not so learn- * ed Christ. To the law and the teeti- J mony. The Sabbath is not 'gone.' Ic t 'was made for man,' and so long as 1 man's necessities remain what they j are, we need not be in doubt as to the fitness of this institution of God to meet those needs.?Church Union. The Devil's Bait Man's love for notoriety has ever been one of his most dangerous traits of character. For the sake of "making a stir" in the world, men have, in all ages, been, been found willing to sell body and soul to Satan, to burn tem ples, assassinate rulers, act the clown in the pulpit, and blaspheme God on the lecture platform And this weak ness is only too well known to the devil. He promises them a month-loug adver tisement through the press of the whole country, and a season of crowded audi ences in their church, if they will but say or do something heretical or out rageous. And every now and then some poor weakling snaps at the bait, 1 gets his name into the papers, and then is forgotten. The last victim seems to be a Chicago minister, of whom no one had heard much before, but who now, for denying in his pulpit thn personality of God and the immortality of the soul, is receiving his glorious reward, the men tion of his name in every paper iu the land. To-morrow he will again be for gtten. 'Verily, he hath his reward.'? Moravian. - -4M-- j If Christians do not sufficiently recog- j nize the legitimacy of the pastor's call- 11 ing to render him full? his just wages, and to assist him to maintain his manly independence before the world, they must not blame the world for looking upon him with contempt that forbids approach and precludes influence. The world will be quite ready to take the pastor at the valuation of his friends, j and the religion he teaches at the price j its professors are willing to pay in a ! business way for its ministry.?J. G. \ > Holland. Fifty thousand schools cost, probably |1 about ?150,000,000, or about one- j ninth as much as the liquor bill of the j \ nation. The support of 50,000 minis-! ters of Christ costs, perhaps, ?50,000,- ] 000. There are four times as many !: agencies to destroy the people of this I country as there are agencies to save j them. There are three teachers of j crime and pauperism to one of morality and thrift. Ten times as much money is spent for the destruction of men as for their savin" Are you feeling the chill of a new and heavier shadow in your life ? Thank God that it may, by His Grace, be a means of blessing to those on whom it falls when you pass by. Thank God, also that it brings you iuto a possibility of closer sympathy with Him who is the j Author of your salvation, was made j 'perfect through suffering ;' and 'inso- j much as ye are partakers of Christ's I sufferings, rejoice: that at the revelation of His glory also ye may rejoice with I exceeding joy.' We know not where heaven is, but [ we know what it contains; and this knowledge opens to us an infinite field for contemplation and delight.? W. E. Channing. Strength of Character. Strength of character consists of two things?power of will, and power of self-restraint. It requires two things to its existence, strong feelings, and strong command over them. Now it is here we make a great mistake?we mis take strong feelings for stroug charac ter. A man who bears all before him, before whose frown domestics tremble, an. whose bursts of fury make the chil dren of the houshold quake?because he has his will obeyed and his own way in thiogs?we call him a strong man. The truth is, that is the weak man : it is his passions that are strong; he, mastered by them, is weak. You must j measure the strength of a man by the power of those which subdue him. And hence composure is very often the highest result of strength. Did we ever see a man receive a flagraut insult and only grow a little pale and quietly reply? That is a man spiritually stroDg. Or did we ever see a man in anguish stand as if carved out of solid rock, mastering himself? Or one bearing a hopeless daily trial remain silent, and never tell the world what cankered bis home peace ? That is strength. He who, keenly sensitive, with manly powers of indignation in him, can be provoked and yet restrain himself and forgive?these are the strong men, the spiritual heroes. The firmest friendships have been formed in mutual adversity; as iron is most strongly united by the fiercest Uaine.?Golton. None but God can satisfy the long ings of an immortal; as the heart was made for him. so he ooly can fill it. TRUTH ATTESTED. Some Important Statements of Well-Known Pc-cple Wholly Verified.

Is a compound of the virtues of sarsaparil la, stillingia, mandrake, yellow dock, with the iodide of potash and iron, all powerful blood-making, blood-cleansing, and life-sus taining elements. It is the purest, safest, and most effectual alterative medicine known or available to the public. The sci ences of medicine and chemistry have never produced so valuable a remedy, nor one so potent to cure all diseases resulting from impure blood. It cures Scrofula and all scrofulous diseases, Erysipelas, Rose, or St. Anthony's Fire, Pimples and Face-grubs, Pustules, Blotches, Boils, Tumors, Tetter, Humors, Salt Rheum, Scald-head, Ring-worm, Ulcers, Sores, Rheumatism, Mercurial Disease, Neuralgia, Female Weak nesses and Irregularities, Jaundice, Affections of the Liver, Dyspepsia, Emaciation, and General Debility. By its searching and cleansing qualities it purges out tbe foul corruptions which contaminate the blood and cause derange ment and decay. It- stimulates and enlivens the vital functions, promotes energy and strength, restores and' preserves health, and infuses new life and vigor throughout th? whole system. No sufferer from any dis ease which arises from impurity of the blood need despair who will give Ayek's Saksaiwkilla a fair trial. It is folly to experiment with the numer ous low-priced mixtures, of cheap materials, ana without medicinal virtues, offered as blood-puritiers, while disease becomes more firmly" seated. Aver s Sai^atakilla is a medicine of such concentrated curative power, that it is by far the best, cheapest, and most reliable biood-puritier known. Physicians know its eomjiositiou, and pre scribe it. It has been widely used for forty years, and has won the unqualified confi dence of millions whom'it has benefited. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
