This is ibe cloning sentence of an obituary, and ii suggests seme reflections : What a pitv lie was obliged to leave it! He had ts.ken great delight in ticcnmulati us; it. As lie added field to field, and farm to farm, lie had looked with pride upon his extended domain, conscious that lie was (lie largest landholder in iiis community. Jli.s cattle, if not wandering upon a thousand hills, ranged over thousands of acres of rich pasturage. Stocks, notes, bonds, mortgages, crowded his safe. And it was all the fruit of his own iuduslrv, eucrgy and good judgment. The rust of usury and the canker of extortion had not scarred any of his gold. It was we'l and fairly earned, and he loved it All the more because it was so. It grieved him to leave this large property, to depart from the world as poor as he came into it, and to enier the other world utterly desti+ ?<f/tn1l1t liA C'A ninnli lni'/ifl tuif yt uic ou iuu\'ii *v?%.v? in this. But lie had to leave it, eyery cent of it. .He might have taken it with him. Bather, let us say, lie might have sent it forward in advance of him. As the capitalist, who contemplates moving to a foreign country, converts his property into drafts and remits from time to time to the land of his future residence, he might have made remittances to that undiscovered country, so that on his arrival there, he would fl id abundant treasures laid up in heaven. Every dollar which he had given, consecrating it with sincere prayer, to assist in carrying the glad tidings of salvation to the ends of the earth? every contribution in aid of the many Christian enterprises for the glory of (iod, and the good of man ; every cup of cold water given to a disciple in the name of a disciple; e wry tear of pious syinpaihy for the suffering; every gift of kindly charity to the needy, would liM.ve added to the store of his "durable riches." lie might have been rich to( 2,.,l .inil irvinf lw.ir vvilli tr-miv (,'iirNt: to an inheritance incorruptible, rmleliled, ami that ladcth not away. I iL was sad for him to leave Ilia' largo pioperty, howmuch sadder than be wiit iKiiic of it before him. 11 is much more pleasant to go to, than io leave a large property. The man who, poor in this world's goods, l ut rieh iii faith, closes his eyes upon this Hie, goes to take po?ses>ion of a large property. He owned not a foot of hind on earth, but 'or him "sweet fields beyond the swelling llood stand dressed in living green." His food here was coarse, perhaps scanty; but there be will eat freely from the tree of life, which yield twelve manner of fruits. II is garments here were plain and poor, but. there he shall be clothed in white robes, washed and made whito in the blood of the Lamb' Ho associate-! hero with those who are despised and rejected of man, hut there his companions will be an innumera hie company of angels and the general assembly and church of the first horn. Who would not rather go to a large property than to leave it? [ Western Recorder. Military Madness. So closely have the calculations hcen made regarding another German war with France tbat it has been determined that iu order to carry the three great lines of defences. between the eastern borders of the republic and Paris it will require the sacriftcr if tiro hundred thousand of the beat soldiers of the empire. Von Moltke, in perfecting this grand system and tluis enhancing the military power of United Germany, has forced all Europe to make a corrcsponding increase in force*, until now we find that there is a total loss of the labor of about 7,000,000 of men, and a otc*ponding amount of animal and mechan'cal power.

[American Snitinel.] "We propose 'such an Amendment to the Constitution of the United !j States (or its preamble) as will suilaj bly aeknowledse Almighty as the au'jthorof the nation's existence and the ! ultimate source of its authority, Jesus j Christ as its ruler, and itie Bible as i the supreme rule of its conduct, and !thus indicate that this is a Christian . nation, and place an unristian laws, j institutions, and usages on an undeuiable legal basis in the fundamental law of llie land.' " [ Christian Mirror.] j We submit that this old maxim, "In | time of peace prepare for war," in the j sense in whic'u it is commonly used, lis both unsound and mischievous. J Let us as a nation be just, honorable, i and patient, in other words, be Chrisjtion, and we shall not need vast war : ships to defend our seaports. Herein, i we hold, is the best solution of all i fishery questions, and all boundary ! disputes, of every matter, indeed, ! which in this Christian age is likely I to come into dispute between nations | that bear the Christian name, j (Interim\) We read, we confess with no great j surprise, that the Papal delegates i bringing from Rome to Cardinal Gib' bons, of Baltimore, the insignia of his ! office, found their baggage and effects j passed through our Custom House free ! of duty : and that the committee ap poiuted to receive those delegates were | furnished with a government revenue j cutter for the purpose of meeting the steamer ami conveying tlieni to the railway station at Jersey City. We rise to a j)oint of order: Is it proper for our government to extend these of-i ficial courtesies to one denomination I and to withhold them from others? ! Or have we, in fact, a State religion? What sort of a country is this, anyhow ? (Christian Int'lligencpr.) Immorality Increased ry the i Issuance ok Sunday Newspapers. | !?The immoralities displayed in the | daily newspapers should not awaken I -iurnrise.

(ObsciTcr..) j Every week some one lifts up a voice I of warning in regard to our Lord'sl j day. It appears to be going out of our' American life, and with it the mostj 'precious influences which keep that life pure and powerful. Thousands of devout people in New England were scandalized by the example of j the President iti travelling on inesao-1 ! bath in order to reach .Boston in time [ for the Havard Anniversary. But I religious people are themselves to ! blame for this disregard of the day as sacred. During the past year we have observed nuiuerus instances of honorj ed clergymen using the railway on j the Sabbath without any special pressure from necessary engagements. Members of the churches do not respect the day as holy, as set apart for holy things as a precious opportunity for spiritual help and works of mercy. It is useless for us to find fault with the world while the church is herself out of joint. We are sorry that the j President travels 011 the Sabbath, but | we fear that there were on the same tnr'n men of even a high calling, whc had far less pressure from official dui H#w.

The Sunday-School Times calls at- j tention to the fact that the notices of; the throe rich benefactors, (iirard.j Peabedy, and Monteliore united take) less room than John Wesley orNa-1 thaniel Hawthorne in a new edition of popular work of biography, and that all the Rothschilds and Astors : put together receive only as many lines as are accorded to Harriet Beech er Stowe. Cornelius Vanderbilt receives less space than Paganini, the violinist, and A. T. Stewart's name j and life have as little space accorded ' iv tiiviii ii"? juiiixiuv;i k9 iiic lao man. The New York Star speaking of the article and the book, says: "And this apportionment seems to be in strict accord with the degree of popular interest felt in the various personages." Fume is capricious, yet therg is a kind of justice in some of these apportionments apart from popular interest. For every man whose name can be found iu cyclopedias and dictionaries, probobly hundreds who have doue as uiuch to elevate the human race as any of them receive no mention. "I Hare Sot Time." How often this expression is used! In how many different ways! Sometimes as an apology, sometimes as an excuse and sometimes as a rebuke. It will readily occur to our readere how the expression is used under some one of these forms; but at present we wish to speak of only one, and that is as an excuse. Some good people are really and truly overtaxed by outside claims upon : them. By outside claims we mean | those which are not of a personal or family character. When such is the j case, it is right and probably their duty ! to say that they have not time to assume new aud increased responsibilities. But in all cases before this reason is assigned for declining to do this or that, the conscientious Christian should consider whether the new call comes from the Master or from parties who would rather impose some of their own duties upon their fellow-Christians. The danger is that for inferior or insufficient reasons we shall make ' the want of time'* an excuse rather I t-Tinn n irnnrl rontfill fnrdpelillillir. Per haps we art* allowing society or our own pleasures to engross too much of )ur time. Perhaps we have become so lukewarm in our Ureter's work that we are glad of an cxtu.se which sounds io respectable. Indeed, wc are to be on ourguard all the time against the danger of shoving aside the claims of j ;he Lord's work for purely selfish reasons. Would we but remember that [our time is one of the talents entrustj oil to us, just as much as our money or | our influence, we would be sincerely : anxious to improve all its moments to ihe best advantage. Let each confided this matter well. ??>? j "Pay as you go, and keep out of j debt," is a doctrine we try to instil into I our readers. We could not possibly I give a sounder or better piece of advice, ft should even be regarded a religious duty. One of the uumistakable signs of the degeneracy of the present age is | the indill'erence of men as regards | their pecuniary obligations. A note is due, or the interest, payable annually on the same, and the day is allowed to pass without the least effort to discharge the debt. And the saddest feat(ure is by 110 means the lack of effort on the part of the debtor, it is his insensibility to the saeredness of a promise. "The failure of men to keep promises in this respect ami the utter indifference of professing Christians to the fulfillment of their promises is one of the great stumbling blocks in the way of men of the world. The carelessness of some men in keeping promises causes great hardship to others in meeting obligations. We once paid a bill to a mechanic on Christmas day. He said, 'I am glad to see that, for I nmmispfl tnmv n bill to-nav. and I did not have the money.' He went at once and paid it. The next man made a similar statement and the incident attracted attention so that as a matter of curiosity wc kept track of the money and found it paid debts five times before niirht. If all congregations would pay up their pastors for the year and enable all pa-tors to pay up their hills ;it the same time it would do >nlicit to take away reproach from the hurch and the ministry. If every person would consider this a matter of ('hrisiian principle, and make an honest ellbrt to keep from vio'atiiifr sacred promises very many hearts would be " - 1 e 1 l...... ?t...t <>\f<iir 'I'll C VIM I IH.'lll IMII'II-II.-' 111,11 him J n41 ilu' pleasureof an otherwise merry Christmas.
