' ROJB1QN, MORALS ANO PHILOSOPHY. Rev. CrC. BROWN. Editor. BOCK OF AGES. ?Bock of Ages, cleft for me,' Thoughtlessly the maiden sang, W? J Fell ibe words unconsciously From ber girlish gleeful tongue. - Sung as little children sing ; Sang as sing the birds in June: U: - Fell the words like light leaves dows On the current of the tu n e 'Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me bide myself in Thee." 'Let me hide myself in Thee.* Felt ber soul DO need to bide ; Sweet the song as so og could be, A nd she bad no thought beside. All the words unbeedingly Fell fron lips untouched by care, ; Dreaming not they each might be On some other lips a prayer 'Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.' ?Bock of Ages, cleft for nr 5.' 'Twas a woman sang t i em now, Sang them slow and wearily ^ Wan hand on her aching brow, kose the song as storm-tossed bird Beats with weary wing the air; Every note with sorrow stirred, Every syllable a prayer ?Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.' . - 'Rock of Ages, cleft for me.' Lips grown aged song the hymn, j Trustingly and tenderly ; Voice grown weak and eyes grown dim, 'Let me bide myself in Thee.' Trembling though the voice and low, Ban the sweet strain peacefully, Like a river in its flow. Sung as only they can sing Who life's thorny paths have pressed ; Sang as only they can sing . Who behold the promised rest 'Bock of Ages, cleft for me, . Let me hide myself zn Thee.' 'Rock of Ages, cleft for me.' Sang above a coffin-lid ; Underneath, ail restfully, All life's joys and sorrows hid. Nevermore, O storm-tossed soul? Nevermore from wind or tide, Nevermore from billows' roll Wilt thoo ever need to bide. Could the sightless, sunken eyes, Closed beneath the soft gray hair; Could the mute and stiffened lips Move again En pleading prayer, Still, aye, still, the words would be, 'Let me hide m * self in Thee.' j A Baptist on Methodism. .How goodly ar? thy tenta, Oh, Jacob/ was the test of Rev. George Dana Boardman at the First Baptist Cborch, Broad and Arch streets, yes? terday morning. 'Thus exclaimed Balaam as he gazed from the mountain top on Israel's glittering host oo the plain below and thns do I, as I look upon the Methodist hosts gathered tn this etty/ remarked the speaker, 4but with this diff?rence : Balaam's excla? mation was extorted from him; minc comes gladly.' Dr. Boardman gave at length statistics showing the numerical "strength of the Methodist Church, of which he said there are twenty-one different varieties, embracing a mem? bership of over five million. 'Let ns salute our companions in arms,1 said the sneaker, 'whose success is so marked and in which we heartily rejoice. The Inception of Methodism, which was the Second Protestant Reformation, occur? red in the latter part of the seventeenth and early years of the eighteenth cen? tury, during the reign of Charles the Second. It was a time of suspended religious activity, when, as often before and often since, the standard of the Lord was raised by a few spirits, that deplored the sluggish spirit then mani? fest in the Church. It was a little coterie of Oxford students, called in derision Sacramentarians and the Pious Club, and they were very High Church or ritualistic in their views. It was not their purpose to secede from the Church of England, but simply to reform the Church within itself, and if the leaders bad but listened to their earnest entrea? ties it is probable there would have been no such thing as Methodism to? day. .The founder of this sect, John Wes? ley, was related by ties of kindred to the family of Wellesley, but was a greater warrior than the Iron Duke, for he battled with the Prince of the Power of Darkness. He was the organizer of the 'class meeting,' he appointed 'lay helpers' and called the Srst Conference, which bas since swelled into so many. He was a man of marvelous activity,, whose remark that saving souls was his vocation and the world his parish, best expresses the wide range of bis views. Had he been a destroyer be might have torn the Church of England in pieces, but he chose to build rather than de? stroy. One of the roost graceful things done by the late Dean Stanley was to order a marble tablet placed io Westminster Abbey to bis memory and that of bis brother. Charles Wesley, who was the bard of the Church. Visit? ing the Conference of the Methodists I liare been struck with the dignity of their proceedings and their far-reaching plans. I believe they have a divine mission. They know better tban other sects how to utilize the emotions and to make systematic workers of thu lay in em ber?. The Methodist Church is beyond all others the Church of the highways and hedges, the skirmish line of the Church militant. Let us then wish them God-speed in their grand en? terprises for the emancipation of the world. And while we sincerely be? lieve that ours is the Scriptural baptism we know that there is the better bap? tism of the Holy Spirit, in which we all believe and are partakers. How They Lock up the Tower of London. A few minutes before the clock strikes eleven, the porter, with an attendant, appears before the maio guardhouse, carrying a lantern, and calls out 'Escort Keys.' The guard, supplied always frem the Queen's household troops, then runs out and escort 'Keys' to the outer gate, called the 'Spur,' each sentry challenging as they pass his post. 'Who goes there f 'Keys.' Af? ter the gates are securely locked and barred the procession returns, the sen? tries exacting the same explanation as before. When they come in front of the main guardhouse the sentry station? ed there gives a loud stamp on the ground with his foot and demands, 'Who goes there?' 'Keys.' .Whose Keys?' 'Quegn Victoria's keys.' 'Pass Queen Victoria's keys and all well.' The porter theo calls out, 'God bless Queen Victoria !' to which the main guard responds, 'Amen.' The guard then presents arms, the officer kisses the hilt of bis sword and the keys are deposited in the Lieutenant's lodgings. After this all ingress or egress is im? possible. It sometimes happens that strangers visiting the pile do sot get Sttt before the time comes for locking dtatv event t&gg m*j hatajo? A Judge on the Liquor Ques-1 tion. Judge Johnson of California, io sen? tencing a murderer to death, used the following language : 'Nor shall the place be forgotten in which occurred this shedding of blood. It was in one of the thousand ante? chambers of bell, which mar like plague spots the fair face of oar state You need ?cot be told that I mean a tippling shop-the meeting place of Satan's minions, and the foul cess-pool which, bj spontaneous generation, breeds and matures all that is loathsome and dis? gusting in profanity, and babbling, and vulgarity and Sabbath-breakiog. I would not be the owner of a groggery for the price of this globe couverted into precious ore. For the pitiful sum of one dime, he furnished the poison which made the deceased a fool and this trembling culprit a demon. How paltry this pri?e of two human lives ! This traffic is tolerated by law, and therefore the vender has committed an offence not cognizable by earthly tribunals; but in sight of Him who is unerring in wisdom, he who deliberately furnishes the intoxicating draught which inflames men to anger and violence and blood sh ed is particcps crimims in the moral turpitude of the deed. Is it not high time that these sinks of vice and crime should be held rigidly accountable to the laws of the land, and placed under the ban of an enlightened and virtuous public opinion V God grant that the time may soon come when the saloon keepers and the murderous business shall be amenable to the law ; that their offences shall be cognizable by earthly tribunals. lu the light of such sentiments as express? ed by Judge Johnson, criminally in? consistent appears the system of legal? izing the traffic in intoxicating liquors on any scale either low or high. Debt, Dirt, and the Devil. 'To keep debt, dirt, and the devil out of my cot rage,' says Spurgeon, * has been my greatest wish ever since I set up housekeeping.* Sorely these form a trinity of evils that should be careful? ly guarded against. A mao who is in debt is a slave, toiling to meet thc de? mands of another. He cannot call what he possesses bis own. He had better a great deal have less, and 'owe no mau anything/ according to * the apostolic injonction, than to have large posses? sions for which he is responsible, but which, in whole or in part, belong to another. A man in debt is like a per? son overboard with a great weight about his neck, with which, by great exertion, he may reach shore, but which nevertheless, may sink bim at any mo? ment. But whatever excuse may be made for meu going into debt, surely none can be offered for their living in dirt. Soap and water are cheap, and brushes and brooms are not very ex? pensive. The late Rev. Dr. George Brown used to say, 'There eau be no religion without soap/ Dirt and piety, like oil and water, will not mix. 'Know ye not/ says the apostle, 'that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you ? If any mao defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy/ Heuce we are exhorted to 'cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holi? ness in the fear of God.' True religion will make a man clean inside and out, in soul and in body. The 'religion of dirt/ both in its practical and philoso? phical forms, should be utterly rejected. Cleanliness and piety go together. But it is easier to keep out of debt and dirt than it is always to keep ont of the clutches of the devil. He is a wily foe, and assaults us by force aod fraud, as a roaring lion, and as an angel of light, and we should be ware of devices. But, after all, he is a cowardly foe, and, if we do not give place to him, but resist bim, steadfast iu the faith, he will turn tail and flee from us. Never believe anything he says for he is ? liar from the beginning. Remember, then, thatyou cannot be too careful to guard against debt, dirt, and the devil.-Methodist Recorder. Men Without Occupation. The man who has nothing to do is the most miserable of beings. No matter how much wealth a man pos? sesses, be can neither be contented or happy without occupation. VV7e are born to labor, and the world is our vineyard. We can find a field of use? fulness almost anywhere. In occupa? tions we forget our cares, our worldly trials, and oar sorrows. It keeps us from constantly worrying and brood? ing over what is inevitable. If we Lave enough for ourselves, wo can labor for the good of others ; and sue!) a task is one of thc most delighful du? ties a worthy and good man can pos? sibly engage iu. Some time ago we noted the fact that not a single member of the Board of County Commissioners used tobacco. Prince coming to think about the matter, we find that neither the Clerk, the Sheriff, the Master or the Judge of Probate uses the weed io any form. Kershaw Gazette.

WARNER'S SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE is established on just this principle. It realizes that 95 Per Cent. of all diseases arise from deranged kidneys and liver, and it strikes at once at the root of the difficulty. The elements of which it is composed act directly upon these great organs, both as a food and restorer, and, by placing them in a healthy condition, drive disease and pain from the system. Fer the innumerable troubles caused by un? healthy Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs; for the distiessing Disorders of Women ; for Malaria, and for physical derangements gen? erally, this great remedy has no equal.

Headers of Hawthorne's "House of Seven Gable.*" will recall the pathos with which poor Clifford Pyncliton, who had been un? justly imprisoned since his early manhood, said, after his release : "My life is gone, and where is my happiness? Oil ! give me my happiness." But that could be done only in part, as gleams of wami sunshine occasion? ally fall across the gloom of a New England autumn day. In a letter to .Messrs. Uiscox & Co., Mr. L. H. Titus, of Pennington, N. J., says : "I have sulk-red untold misery from childhood from chronic disease ol the bowels and diar? rhoea, accompancd by great pain. I sought relief at the hands of physician? of every school and used every patent and domestic remedy under the sun. I have at last found in PARKER'S TONIC a complete specific, preventive and cure. As your ???valuable medicine, which did for me what nothing else could do, is entitled to the credit of my getting back my happy days, 1 cheekily and gratefully acknowledge the fact." Mr. E.
