giumotous fepartmtBf. A FUNERAL DISCOURSE. The readers of the drawer have, within the past year or two, been edified with the perusal of sermons oh TEe Harp of a. Thousand Strings,' and the 'Farewell Discourse of Brother Watkins.' The tone of thoee discourses might, in a general way. be called pleasing. Not so, however, the following brief allusion from the pulpit to a young man of indifferent Saition in the social cueles of B , New arapehirq, who came to an early decease by a vigorous but absurdly unequal contest with' a party of the Otard family. The preacher who officiated at the final solemnities, improved the occasion by making the following remarks: 'I hev been requested, not to say importuned, toe deliver, a funeral discourse on this occasion, and I hev reluctantly consented toe do so. I never heard any good of the deceased yet; and if the friends hev made up their minds that I am about toe begin sech a course now, they are very much mistaken. I estimate, in fact, that tins young man now a lyin' before you, was about the wust man ever permitted, in the onstrutable ways of divine perpuses, toe locate in this vicinity. He was ; one you might say allers fell when he was tempted; ana he certingly appeared to me toe 1 seek, rather than to avoid, occasions for seech temptations. "Why, my feller Christians, he kep' hosses . and run 'em, kep' cocks and fit 'em; and as to the wiminin, let his widder (who I see a settin' in a front pew) testify."

O quiry into the pertickerlers of his kerrikter and condact while he has resided in this village, I hev come to the conclusion that about the only good thing that can be said about him at all is that he was an active member of an ingine company and occasionally good at fires.

He was told that paper money was not received. He went for Spanish quarters. "We don't receive them now," said the attendant, "for more than twenty cents apiece." The countryman thoughtUncle Sam mighty {>articular, so he he went and obtained a dolor's worth of coppers. "Now," said he, returning to the office and laying down his pile on the window of delivery, 'T guess I can suit ye." The man inside looked at the display of coppers, and coolly replied: "We never take more than three cents in coppers at one time; it is not legal tender above that sum." The countryman looked at the composed official for the space of a minute, without stiring, and then belched out: "Look here, you, aint you mighty kind of particular for fellows backed up in such a jail as this ere? You don't take only three cents of coppers at a time, hey? Well, then s'pose you give me three cents worth of stamps, anyhow. ' * j j j' . The official very politely cut him off a single Rtamn and nassed it out. for which the COUn tryman laicf down three cents. He was about to pass away, when the latter cried out: "Look here, you, that 'ere's one at a time. Now s'pose you give three cents's worth more of them V' i * ? ' fJncie Sam's clerk was hot slow in discovering (hat he had caught a Tartar. He turned back to the window, and asked: -? "How many coppers have you got?" "Well, only about ninety-seven cents. I had only a hundred when I began." . "Pass them in," was the gruff reply. "Pass out your stamps fust and then I will; but I reckon you won't ketch me agin." The stamps were passed out, and the cop* pera handed over, when the countryman went ofl^muttering? "I s'pose because a feller holds an office under Uncle Sam, he thinks he's smart'n all creation; but I guess he larnt semething that time 1" tSf The most difficult thing in the world for a woman to do is to get ready to go anywhere ; and there is nothing a woman will resent auicker or more fiercely than an intimation that she may possibly miss the train. Our friend, Brayfogle, gives us an instance of this. Mrs. Bray was supposed to take the ten o'clock train on the Bee Line to visit some relatives in an interior town. Having suffered on previous occasions for injudicious suggestions, Bray thought, that, for once, he wornd let things take their natural course.' So he sipped his coffee and ate his eggs on toast, while Madame curled, powdered, danced attendance on the looking-glass, and tied 1 __ bark on the back of her head. Then Bray sat down by the stove for an hour and read the morning paper, while the Madame still continued to get ready. At last, as he reached the final paragraph of the reading matter, and was beginning on the advertisements, Madame tied ner bonnet strings under her chin, took one long, linger- 1 ing, loving look at the image reflected in the glass, and sweetly announced: "Well, my dear, I am ready." "Ready for what?" asked Bray, in well affected astonishment. "To go to the depot, to be sure," said Mrs. Brayfogle, tartly. "Oh T" said Bray, "I'd forgotten. Well, Madame," he continued, looking at his watch, "that train has been gone fueen minutes. Just keep on your things and you'll be ready for the train to-morrow morning." We draw a veil over what followed. We are assured, however, that next morning Mrs. Brayfogle was ready an hour ahead of time. Mr. Easy Uneasy.?Mr. Easy keeps a hotel in the suburbs of Boston, taking both permanent and transient boarders as they may offer. Some years since he had a young married couple anftpg his guests, who kept up ah appearance of ^pple means, arftT~seemed to have everything they wanted, though they had prolonged their stay for several weeks, and the landlord had not called upon them for anv money. At last some little circumstance occurred which made Mr. Easy a trifle uneasy as to the solvency of his debtors, and be said to nis wire, in conndence7-"What do you think about Mr. and Mr* Sharp? They are running up ^ & pretty large bill. I suppose he is good for * "OjFguess there's no danger," replied Mrs. Easy. "They are all right. I asked him for money yesterday, and he paid me thirty dollars on account/' /i "Paid you thirty dollars ?" // "Yes." / A sudden light dawned upon Mr. Easy. "I know where he got it," he exclaimed. "He borrowed thirty dollars of me yesterday morning." And so he had borrowed the money of Mr. Easy to pay his board to Mrs. Easy. "Ma, somebody is going to die," said a knowing little fellow, who was looking out of the window into the street. "Why?" "'Cause the doctor's just gone by," was the reply. ? An incorrigible loafer, taken to task for his laziness, replied, "I tell you, gentlemen, you are mistaken, I have not a lazy g tpattowaf. Management op Farm Work.-?There is one fault among farmers which should be reproved in strong terms. It is laying out more work than can be done by the force on the farm timely and properly. If work cannot be done as it should be, much better not meddle with" it at *8. i This fault is the most observable in putting in the crops of the season, for some cultivated plants will not mature unless the seeds are sown or planted in the ground at a'p&rticular time, and some farmers, m excuse for their negligence, make an assumed trust in Providenoe for their tardiness in being weeks behind the proper time in getting in the seed. Indian corn may serve as an example^ a crop not being put in at the proper season, as well as oats, wheat and other crops. *If the sowing of them is delayed beyond the proper time, the grain will prove light, and the danger from blight or rust greatly increased. Farm work cannot go on successfully, unless the farmer gives it his personal supervision, and as a rule in countryporlance, will say to his workmen, "come tfvys," instead of "go boys /" or follow sage Benny's maxim of poor Richard that "He who by the plow would thrive, must either hold or drive." Workmen may be good and laitniui, duc iney seldom enter into all the pfans of the farmer, and he must be the directing head himself or much effort will be misspent. There should be no hap-hazard work on a farm. Every movement should be the result of reflection and well matured arrangement, directed to a certain and definite end. If this were so, there would be fewer failures in farming, which, are generally the result of bad calculation and poor management. r Care of Harness.?It is very bad policy, for all but the saddler, to keep gears in or near the horse stable. Ammonia is very injurious to leather, especially when it contains a large amount of grease; hence, gears which are allowed to remain in the stable are always more or less injured by the ammonia which constantly arises from the manure; but this in1'ury is in proportion to the amount of cleaniness which is observed in the stable. Of all kinds, those in which horses or sheep are kept are the most injurious, because of the volatile nature of manure. If cow stables are kept clean, the injury to gears kept in them will be but slight The best plan is to have a small dry room on purpose; such a room can, with a few boards and nails, soon be made, and the saving in the harness will soon repay the trouble. To clean and oil a harness the best plan is to separate it into the smallest possible pieces, wash each piece well with Castile soap and water until cleaned of all outside grease and dirt; the pieces then to be laid on a board or table, neat's foot or tanner's oil applied with a brush, generally using from hall pint to a pint of oil to a pair of heavy farm harness; to clean carriage harness, only the dirty parts should^ be washed and greased as oeiore. 11 you wisn to give the gears & black appearance at the expense of clean hands, a small portion of lampblack may be mixed with the oil before applying it to the leather."?Irish Farmer's Gazette. - When and How to Bod Peach Trees. In answer to an inquiry, we can do no better than to quote from Thomas: "Budding consists in introducing the bud of one tree, with a portion of bark and a little adhering wood, beneath the bark of another, and upon the face of the newly forming wood. It must be performed while the stock is in a state of vigorous growth. An incision is made lengthwise through the bark of the stock, and a small cut at right angles at the top, the whole somewhat resembling the letter T. A bud is then taken from a shoot, of the present year's growth, by shaving off the bark an inch or an inch and a half in length, with a small part of the wood directly beneath the bud. The edge of the bark, at the incision in the stock, is then raised a little, and the bud pushed downwardkunder the bark. A bandage of bass, corn-njisks, or othejp&ubstiJnce, isVrapped round, ccwering all p^rts but the bua. The pressure should be just sufficient to keep the inserted portion closely to the stock, but not such as to bruise or crush the bark." July is a good time for budding. Two Pounds of Butter Out op One.? I here present to your readers as a free gift a recipe for which I paid $5 two years ago? and whatever others may say or think, I do not regret the expenditure: To everv pound of butter you must use onA {>int of milk and the yellow of two eggs. The ast named article is to be well beaten up and placed in the churn. The churn must first be cleansed with hot water. After putting in the yellow of the eggs you must pour in the miiof hp warmed incool weather. ULllXXVj TlUiVU M?wwv ?w.?^ Then cut up the butter, if it is hard, into small bits or slices. Then churn in the usual way. Butter will come in a few minutes, and you will have double the amount you put in. The proper temperature of the materials in order to make butter quick, is 55? of Fahrenheit's thermometer, which is somewhat less than milk warm. Put the butter on ice or over water, and don't work it for forty-eight hours, and you will have as solid an article as ever went on a table.?T. B. 8. in Western Rural. Salt for Cabbage.?A New Jersey gardener considers salt necessary to the development t>f cabbage, especially in places far from the coast He finds them more crisp, of better flavor, and to keep better when salt is used than without He used it as follows: A few days after setting out the plants, and when they are damp, either after a rain or when the dew is on, 1 take a small dish of fine salt and walking among the rows, sprinkling a little pinch of salt on tne centre of each plant when the leaves begin to grow. I repeat the salting, and when die centre of the leaves begin to form the head, I apply salt again, scattering it over the leaves; after this I look them over occasionally, and if I find plants that do not head well and appear diseased, I sprinkle the salt over freely; tnis will save all such plants. A quart of salt is sufficient for five hundred plants in a season, although more can be used with safety. How to Force Radishes.?Radishes may be grown in a few days by the following somewhat singular method: Let some ^ooaCradish-! seed soak in water for fifty-four hours and then put them in a bag exposed to the sun. In the course of the day germination will commence. The seed must then be sowed in a well-manured hot bed, and watered from time to time with lukewarm water. By this treatment the radishes will, in a very short time, acquire a sufficient bulk, and be good to eat. If it be required to get good radishes in winter, during the severe cold, an old cask should be sawed in two, and one-half of it filled with good earth. The radish seed, beginning to snoot before, must then be sowed in, the other half of the barrel put on the top of the full one; i and the whole apparatus carried down into the cellar. For watering, lukewarm water oV.n.,1^ ko us#*! as before. In the course of OUVUAVt WV five or six days the radishes will be fit to eat. Kitchen Garden.?Seeds should be gathered as they ripen, properly dried and put away for another year. It is best not to expose the seed much to the direct sunshine, after they have been taken from the pods. To preserve those seeds liable, to depredations of insects, as peas, beans, &c., we have found no plan equal to putting them into bottles, in which a small piece of cotton, saturated with spirits of turpentine, has been placed, and then corking up tightly. In case of the pea, the egg is deposited in the seed at an early stage of its development. In some, which we gathered this spring as soon as ripe, we found the larva of the curculio nearly readv to pass into the pupa state. These all die when shut up in a confined atmosphere filled with the vapor of turpentine, in all cases, select seed from the best plants and from perfectly developed fruit, and if a plant shows variation in a desirable direction, save seed from it, and improved varieties may thus be finally established. fgiSttHaarous THE BATTLE MONTH. The "leafy month" has a melancholy record in history. The Cincinnati Enquirer reminds us that Ihe 18th ultimo, was the fiftyfifth anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, which was fought on the 18th of June, 1815. It was the most remarkable conflict of modern times. We say remarkable, because it was the most decisive and important in its results. The word Waterloo has passed not only into history but into the language itself. It designates an overthrowal that is final in its character, and from which there is no appeal. The 18th of June, 1815, will ever figure as one of the great landmarks of time. It is like the sea fight of Antony and Lepidus with Octavius Csesar, which decided the fortunes of the world. There is much in the history of Waterloo which is not understood by the masses of the people. As is well known, the arrival of Blucher and his Prussians to the aid of Wellington decided the victory, which otherwise would Have been with the French. He arrived at 6 o'clock in the evening. The 18th dav of June is among the longest days of the year, and it had been determined by the French Emperor, Napoleon, to open the contest at the break of clay, which is before four o'clock. But for two or three days previous there had been heavy falls of rain. "Waterloo, which was a wheat field in the neighborhood of Brussels, was converted almost into a morass. Napoleon had a large preponderance in the number of his great guns, 230 against 170. He was strongly in favor of the artillery service, in which to bad entered as a youth in the College of Brienne. The advantage which he had in it he was not in favor of surrendering by commencing the action when the field, from the recent rains, was unfavorable to his cannon. He, therefore, waited until the rays of the hot sun had dried up the field, and made it passable for artillery. The action did not commence until eleven o'clock in the morning, when otherwise it would have commenced before six o'clock, five hours previous. This delay was fatal to Napoleon. The Prussians arrived at six o'clock in the afternoon, and changed the fortunes of the day. Had it not been for the delay of five hours on the morning of the 18th of June, the British would have been defeated and in full and irreparable retreat before the arrival of the allies. As Victor Hugo aptly observes in his remarkable and eloquent nr/t.ir <<T .na MiaoroViloc " "A fftw drons of rain. more or lees, ohanged the fortunes of the Continent of Europe," But this was not the only mishap of Napoleon in this extraordinary I campaign. In its very outset one of his Generals, Bourmont, deserted to the enemy and carried with him all his knowledge of the military projects of the Emperor. There was a suzprise, but it would have been far greater had it not been for this unforeseen and unexpected desertion. Wellington and his leading generals, were attending a brilliant ball at Brussels. The troops were scattered and cantoned all over the country when the news was brought thatNapoleon, at the head of 120,000 men, had made his appearence in Belgium. The scene that ensued is beautifully described by Lord Byron in "Childe Harold," in which he says: "There was a sound of revelry by night, And Belgium's Capital bad gathered then Her beauty and ber chivalry, and bright The lamps shone o'er fair women and brave men." The Duke of Wellington was caught napping. He had made arrangements with the distinguished French traitor and hero of many revolutions, Fouche, the Minister of Police under Napoleon, to communicate to him the movements of the great Emperor. He sent them, but with double-faced duplicity stopped them on the frontier, so that in case of either rerverse or success he was to have a plea in his defence. The acoession of Bourmont to the allied councils explained the whole, and there was mounting in hot haste and the mustering far and wide of the steed of war. The celebrated Marshal Ney wq^jjrectecu to' occupy the four roids of Quanre Bras, which done would have rendered a iunction of the armies of Blucher with Wei lington * impossible. During an inclement rainy season the gallant Marshal had proceeded to within two or three miles of the point designated. His troops were greatly fatigued, and as his scouts reported that the place was unoccupied by the enemy, he despatched a courier to Napoleon informing him that they were already in possession of the French troops. When morning dawned and Ney proceeded onward he found the whole English army in possession of Quartre Bras, which was unoccupied several hours before. This was the direct and fatal cause of the loss of the battle which ensued. ? On the day itself Ney brought out the cavalry for an attack on the British lines several hours too soon, and before the infantry squares had been broken. Napoleon observed it with great distress, and accused Ney of destroying his cavalry. But where was Murat, the brother-in-law of the Emperor, who should have commanded it ? On account of a personal quarrel with the Emperor, he was compelled Dy that potentate to remain at a distance, in exile, when his presence would probably have changed the destinies of the world. With Grouchjrs defection, with his failure to join the Emperor with his corps everybody is familiar. The cannon of Waterloo was heard in his command. He was advised by his officers to proceed to the scene of the firing. He was told that it was a general engagement ; that the Emperor had the whole European army on his hands. It was remarked that it was the cannon of Austerlitz, but still he would not stir. Appointed to watch Blubber with the Prussian army, he neither did it, nor did he join the imperial forces. The result was the destruction of the Emperor. It was a remarkable coincidence that forty years afterward, in 1855, tiw British and French troops combined, at the siege of Sebastopol, "on the 18th of June, took theMalakoff, which was the key to its possession. The British failed in the Redan fort, but the Frenoh, by a surprise, captured the main fortress above alluded to, from which they speedily shelled out the Russians from the Redan. The 17th of June, was the anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill, fought in 1775, ninety-five years ago. JThat was the first battle of the American Revelation, which lasted for seven years. Waterloo was the conclusion of the French Revolution, which had lasted for a period of over twenty years. But these are not the only great modern battles of this month. On the 14th of June, 1800, occurred the great battle of Marengb, which assured to Napoleon the- consular throne of France. On tne 14th of June, 1807, I he won the battle of I'riedland against Russia, which terminated the campaign against that Power, and made him for years the arbiter of Europe. We may, therefore, say that June, historically speaking, is a month of battles. How Tigers Dine.?The reports of officers engaged in the revenue topographical survey in India go to prove that an extraordinary number of deaths occur in that country from wild beasts. The report says of the season 1867-8: No small obstruction was occasioned to the progress of the operations by the depredations of the tigers which infest the district. A tiger reported to have killed 127 people, stopped the traffic for many weeks on | the road between Mool and Chandah, till it was shot by a lieutenant. In Chindwerrah one tigress caused the desertion of thirteen villages, and threw 250 square miles out of cultivation. Another old tigress in Kurnood killed 64 people, stoping the-post runners and police patrols, driving off the laborers on the public works. The statistical tables which accompany the papers show that the matter is one of very nigh importance indeed. In the Bhaugulpore district alone?Bhaugulpore is a large civil railway station on the Ganges, within a night's run from Calcutta?in six years 1,434 people were killed by wild beasts; while in the whole province under the lieutenant governor of Bengal, no fewer than 13,400 cases of death i about 7,000being caused by tigers and leopards and over 4,000 by wolves. When to this is added the many hundreds killed yearly in Orde, .the Punjaub, the Central Provinces, Madras, and elsewhere, a sufficient ghastly ; idea is obtained of the fearful scourge. The published papers take no account of ravages of wild beasts in the native states; but u in the woods of Bengal proper, with the system of head and hide money for wolves ancf tigers, the results be as are represented, oflfc" cially, what must they be in the woods of Rajpootana and the Dec can, where counteiK ance is given to preservation*rather than extirpation? * r SHELBY AND S. CAROLINA BAILBOA^-^ Col. Plato Durham, the President of tiie above named projected road, was in this'town on last Friday. We had the pleasure of making his acquaintance, and or hearing from' him a statement of the prospects of the corporation over which he presides. The scheme, is to run a road on an air line from Yorkville to Morganton. The distance is about 68 miles/ and the cost of construction is estimated at $1,500,000. This road will cross the Richmond and Atlantic Railroad at some point be-' tween Yorkville and King's Mountain; it wUi, omsa Wilminoton. Charlotte A Ruther-. ford Road at Shelby; and at Morganton it will connect the North Carolina Western Extension Railroad, extending from Salisbury through Asheville to the Tenneasee line, lite endeavor of the internal improvement men of this State for thirty years, has been to eertaR" lish a connection between Charleston and Tennessee. A glance at the map will convince any one, that the route projected bv Col. Dgl much^esired connection. Tennessee ha^nejjjH ly completed the road to (he State line; between Asheville and the Tennessee line, a distance of forty-five miles, the work is being rapidljT prosecuted; between Asheville and Morganton, the laying of the track is delayed only, by the difficulty of one tunnel through the mountains, on which a large number of hands is employed, and which will doubtless be completed in a few months. There remains therefore only the link between Yorkville and Morganton to fill up to make an almost direct line from the seaboard of South Carolina to the rich grain regions of East Tennessee. In order to make a beginning, the King'4 Mountain Rail Rood has endorsed the bonds of the new Company to the amount of $100,000, and with the proceeds derived from the sale of these bonds, it is expected that within two months work will begin at Yorkville. It seems to us that Chester is very largely interested in the success of this scheme. Th# town needs another outlet in some direction or other. As things now stand our merchants, and through them the people, are a prey to the discriminating policy of the C. C. & A. R. R. in favor of Charlotte. Only a few days ago, a lot of barrels of lime for the cisterns _ now being constructed by the Town, was re " ceived at the Depot, the freight on which from Charleston to Columbia, on that much abused road the 8. C. R. Road was $5.90, and from Columbia to Chester on the C. C. & A. Roil Road was $11.00. That is twice the monef for one-half the distano$ This is simply because there is no competition. The projected road of which we are speaking would not, of course, relieve the people of the unfair exactions of the Charlotte road, inasmuch as if* would not come directly into competition wit$ it, but on a great many articles of prime necessity the question of charges for freights is a very important one?ana it becomes otfr business men and our people generally, tb look well and closely into this matter. It issaid, and it is well and wisely said, that "Competition is the life of trade,"?and if thjk maxim in business is true, and it certainly $ true, then let our men of business and capital the merchant, the laborer, the farmer, anl all who feel and have an interest in the prof perity of the County and State, sustain bjr their money and their influence the project/ft enterprise. "T J must be clear tc$ e^ry one. that its " will largely promote the material intere? of our county and of our people, and hence m earnestly i nvite their attention to it "A wore to the wise is sufficient"?Chester Reporter.~X A Model Wife.?The Jamfestown (N. Y'> Journal tells the following remarkable story: "There is a woman in the town of Harmony, Chautauqua county, who has not spoken to\ her husband in twenty-one years. In the year. 1849 her husband contradicted her harshly in ) the presence of company, and she threatened that if he didn't behave better toward her she j would never speak to him again. He retorted , that he wished she wouldn t and she has notj since then spoken to him. They have continued to live together peacefully, and during the 1 long silence have had several children. Everything goes on at their house as usual with 1 farmers. The husband jj| attentive, and does his conversing.with his wife through one of the ' children. For instance, he will ask a child at , the table, "Will your mother have some mor$ J' meat ?" or at another time. "Is your mother t ait mi . /i !'_ going to town witn me to day r* ine iamny is wealthy, and belongs to the better class Chautauqua farmers apd respectable citizens." 98?" It is very pleasant for those who parties ; pate in the destruction of liquors to mow of? what they are composed. Some liquors, seized by a sheriff in Connecticut the other day, ' were examined by a chemist, who reports tha?; the port wine was composed of alcohol, alum, sulphuric acid, oil of vitriol and sugar of lead. Whisky was composed of alcohol, fusel oil, 1 oxide of lead and iron. jGin was composed of 1 alcohol, water, lead, sulphuric acid, oil of juni- i per, oil of turpentine and sugar. The lead * which is present in all these liquors is one of ( the most certain and subtle poisons. One dose ^ of it may not prove fatal, out it is of such a nature as to accumulate in the system, and!1 each drink adds to that previously taken'' which has lost no strength. These are simp- < ly interesting and pleasant facts for those to-, i know who indulge in* the luxury of much li-'j quor. A Drunken Soldier Protected by- a |< Pet Tiger.?An amusing scene occurred the ] other day at the citadel of Dover,"England.i j The 202d regiment have a very fine tiger just come to the country with the regim?<jfj from India.

For ;i two hours the tiger kept guard over his keep-v; er, who, on awakening, was surprised to see ; no one come near his charge. The State Guard at Abbeville.?We learn that Assistant Adjutant-General, K. B. Elliott, oil his recent visit to our town, disbanded the force of State Guard, here employ- , ed in guarding the deposit of arms, with the" exception of two persons; and intimated that the arms would soon be removed. For sometime past we have deplored the waste of the raw material in employing nearly a dozen ath-1 letic laborers, to play the idle role of the soldier, when the farmers of the country were sending up a despairing cry for help against, the hosts of "General Green."

CONDUCTED BT BEY. ROBERT LATHAW. [Oriftoal.J I A NEW CBEATUBE. The Apoetle Paul declares that in Christ Jesos neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything; but a new creature. In fact, this sentiment is steadily kept in view in every part of the Bible. Old things, it is said, have 'passed away and all things have become new. The unregenerated map is called the old man, and the same individual when regenerated is called the new man. It is not a mere figure of speech when it is said, that the believer in Christ is a new creature. It is a fact, and a glorious fact too; a complete change has taken place. A change not merely in name, but in nature also. The Christian religion does not consist in empty names and unmeaning ceremonies. There is a gloriouB reality in it. The whole man is revolutionized. His nature is changed from what it is by nature, and his destiny is different By nature, he is dead in trespasses and in sins. By grace he is made dead to tresoasses and to sins, and alive to holiness. "Ye most be born again," says our Saviour, and God's people are boni again. God quickens them by His holy spirit. This new birth is the work of the spirit, and essentially constitutes them new creatures. The blind TnaiLjs made to see; the deaf man to Wr; the lannT man to wain, and tne dead man to live. By nature, Adam's race are dead to all that is good, and alive to all that is evil. The soul is in a state of moral putrefaction. God, by his spirit, stops the putrefaction and heals the soul and reinstates harmony and union between the soul and Himself. There is then a most radical change. The man is most emphatically a new creature, created in Christ Jesus, born again of God. This new creation embraces the whole'man. A new direction is given to every impulse of his nature. He is turned back from ruin and put in the narrow way that leads to heaven. Sin is eradicated from the soul, and holiness planted in its stead. Hie mfcn is taken out of a world of darkness and death, and brought into a world of light and life. He'has changed sovereigns. Before, he was the child of the devil, and a subject?willing, voluntary, and loyal subject?of the prince of darkness. Now he is the child of God, and a subject of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. It is not a dreamy change. It is a conscious change. The individual knows that he has removed from his former abode. He knows he was once blind but now sees. He sees as he never saw before; he feels as he never felt before. Ijle is a new man in a new world. New hopes inspire his soul, and new prospects lie before him. Bat the believer's legal relations are changed. . He is not under the law but under grape. It is no longer required of him to do and live, but believe and live. He lives by foi+Vi and nnf Kv ntudianoo fn tfio lanr .Toana Christ stands between him and the law of Glod. What the law requires Christ performs for him. Does it demand obedience, Christ I obeys; does it inflict death for disobedience, Christ dies. Qod demands nothing in order to his justification but faith in Jesus Christ, and he offers nothing as a ground of his ao- 1 ceptance but the righteousness of Jesus. Be- ' fore, he was condemned; now hefs pardoned. Before, his sins stood between him and (rod's ; mercy, now his sins are removed and he is accepted^in the beloved. fBut the believer's inwpect&?>te changed.. Oyce he a stranger to "the covetwhts of promise without God and without hope m the world?a condemn* ed sinner, awaiting the day of execution. Now he is the friend and child of God and : heir, of all the promises. Life and death, 1 things present and things to come, are his, and "he is Christ's; and Christ is God's." No longer in prison and in chains awaiting exe cution-, but a ransomed saint waiting for the kingdom of glory?a seat at God's right hand where there are pleasures forever more. Practically, every one should enquire into hjs true state and condition in the sight of God. There is one way, and only one way, by which we can be saved. That way is tbrotfgh the blood of Jesus. Christ makes an' atonement for sin, and the spirit makes the new creature. We are either born again or we are not. If we are born again we are in the kingdom of God and heirs of glory; if ye are not born again, we are in the kingdom of Satan and heirs of perdition. If we are born again we can know the fact. If we do not know it, there is just ground of doubt We have reason to fear at feast that we have tint named from death unto life. * "* [Original.] ! IN EARNEST. One of the greatest drawbacks on the spread 1 of the gospel, is a want of earnestness on the < part of many?apparently the majority of ' professed Christians. It is humiliating to 1 witness the careless spirit which the people < of God manifest. The actions of too many say i that Christianity is a good thing, but there is j no need to make any effort or manifest any < zeal in propagating it The little pecuniary < oxpenses which are incurred in keeping up '> the means of grace, are met with a heavy * heart They are placed in the same class with < a doctor's bill?so much for nothing. -An < outlay and no income. > 'It does seem that a < large number of professed Christians go aboyt ' the discharge of the plain duties of Christian- 1 ity like a lazy servant, who feels that anoth- 1 or and pot himself is to reap all the advantages of his toil. Thifr Is a shame and a rHa. jrace, and worse than all, it is a most heinous : )in. What can be more insulting to God 1 than for a minister of the Gospel to get up in j the pulpit and drone afcd whine out a lifeless 1 sermon in such a low tone of voice, and in ] mch a careless and indifferent- manner, that < the hearer $ lulled to sleep rather than ] awakened to duty ? There is no concealing the fact that a large amount of preaching is simp- j ly whining, and the effect is to do harm and i not good. God sends the minister of the Gos- ! pel into the pulpit to work, and not to stand i there with the dignity of a skeleton, and the j % ^ - ? ? ? ?- ? ? J mfllAAHAnflA llteiessness 01 a corpse, aiiu LUC luuiucicutc ui a Gallio. Men are not apt to be guilty of such stupidity as to be persuaded by an individual, narrating in a dull and careless tone 1 of voice, what he evidently does not, from his manner, seem to believe. All that the church needs to arise and put on her travelling habiliments and visit every nook and corner of preation, is a ministry and people in earnest. There are many reasons to suspect that many of us who are now ministers of the Gospel, have never been called by the spirit, or if so, we are unfaithful servants. There are many reasons tctfnduce an individual to enter the ministry of the Gospel. It is an honorable calling. It raises an individual in society. It lifts the beggar from the filth and pollution of society, and places him amongst the princes of the land. But without piety and a burning zeal for the glory of God and the salvation of immortal souls, no man ought ever to enter the sacred desk. He will give the ark a wrong touch. Bat ministers are not the only individuals j who seem not to be in earnest There are i other office bearers in the church who are \ chargeable with the sin of standing all the ] day idle. It is not difficult to find elders and i deacons, stewards and class leaders, and other 1 official members of the church, who in their ! own house of worship, and amongst their own people, look and act like strangers. Many office bearers in the church seem to think that their only duty is to distribute the bread and J wine on communion occasions. The building < up of the church never is thought of It is j no wonder Zion languishes. The woftder Is ' that it does not die. It is painftl to know ] how little some office bearers know, respecting \ their own particular church. They have no xeaL All they desire is to drag along in an easy careless and indifferent state. But the ] lay members are chargeable before God with < the sin of indifference, as well as the officers ] of the church. It is to be feared that a want ( of earnestness amongst God's professed people j will call down upon us the judgments of hea yen. W e are neither cold nor hot, out we are lukewarm. It is high time that the people of God were looking into this thing. God has no need for drones in his kingdom, He will not bear them. God bids us work and work in earnest Go to the ant thou sluggard, is just as applicable to the lazy and stupid Christian, as to the lazy and stupid fanner or mechanic. ? > ? ' [OriflMl.]. THE HEJLBT, ,?/* , The description which God in his word give$ . of the human heart is anything else than com-, plimentary. "It is deceitful above all things and desperately Wicked." If these words contain a true and genuine description of the human heart, we ought to loathe ourselves. Unfortunately for our race our history, is but a demonstration of the Bible declaration. Men in their dealings with one another pretend, and it is generally only pretence, to despise " the deceitful man. Such a character is justly an object of detestation. He says one thing f and means another. He says yes and means j no. He deceives you in any and all the deal- i ings you have with him. Such is the charac- j tor of our own hearts. We are, all of us, de- r ceitful by nature. No man but the man who ' has been born again can be trusted. His } heart is deceitful and will deceive even himself It is vain to plead that honor and a sense of self respect, or public opinion and the general good, will incite us to act candidly and honestly. There is nothing that will i purge the innate deception from the human heart but the grace of p-od. The ungodly < man deceives and lovee to deceive. His soul is set upon lies. It is humiliating to read the history of the most civilized of Pagan nations. They never could pnt any reliance in one an- T. other. They felt conscious that they would betray their best friend, and were liable to be * betrayed by their best friend. It is vain fbr? t any man to put any trust in the promisee of ^ the man who has no fear of God before his ( eyes. Instances are not few in which sons ] have betrayed fathers, and fathers sons. Ju- g gurtha was betrayed by his nearest relations, J and Caesar by his friend Brutus. For thirty pieces of silver, Judas betrayed his Master' J with a kiss. His heart boiled with deceit like i a troubled sea, whilst a friendly smile played g upon his countenance. This is not the only c instance of low and base deception. The wisest \ man of modern tim<$,. unfortunately, merited 1 by his deceitful conduct, the ignominious epi- { thet of the "meanest man." . J * . C | But the heart, tfr Tratupo^ie potiroly deofei^' nil, but it is desperately wked. It is filled' \ with all unrighteousness. No man can tell 1 what acts of wickedness he would do were he 1 not restrained by the grace and providence of t God. There is nothing too vile or mean, or wifcked for the human heart, unrestrained by the grace of God, to undertake. We are ready to-do any and* every thing that will bring ignou^ny and shame upon ourselves and dishonor upon God. The darkest, vilest and most loathsome place in the universe of God is the human heart. The history of the devices of darkness which have been concocted in the heart of the best man in any community, would startle the world, were it made public. The description "desperately wicked," is the very description which meets the case. Who in his heart has not concocted horrid crimes? If the deceitfulness and wickedness of the human heart were made known, confidence in man would cease to exist. No man would trust his own children, and no children would trust their parents. The tender mercies of the unregenerated heart. are cruel. If the best man in a community could be dissected? bis heart laid open and the vile and polluted sin which is in it exposed to. public gaze?it would astound every creature in the universe of God. Men and Women, angels in heaven, and fiends in perdition, would stand horror- stricken. . Men, like a Numidian prince when " he learned the treachery of his friends, would trust' no one, and feel safe in no place. Men. may talk of honor, but where there is' no [grace there is no honor. The fountain is poisoned and all the streams are polluted. The )nly' reason that we all are not what some men are, is that God restrains us-by his grace. Grod prevents us from executing the purposes )f our hearts. Paul gives an accurate'description of the human heart in the latterjiajrt )f the first chapter of his epistle to the&toinans. There we hove a grand mfiror in which we can see not only our faces but alsotmr , heart* , .* ' No man can study himself honestly and npt q arijwlk a BaVfonr. Th'e'min i?ho puts the meditations of his Hear* w if ? aalances of God's word, will soon. find that they are wanting. There is no hope of salva- j tion out of Christ You might as well expect - putrefaction, to produce; purity; death to pro- J iuce life, or any other inconsistency with, the ( law of GocMo take place. Nothing in the * world of any kind or character, except the r grace of God which is in Christ Jesus, can J change the heart; and we most have new hearts or there is no hope of salvation. Men | may talk of moral training aside from the i rind hut without Jesus the best mo- f giaw X/* viv%* 9 _ rality amongst men either in practice or theory, is as unable to purify the heart as the ] wings of the tiniest insect is to soar to the sun. ? The disease is too great to be met by anything j but a sovereign remedy. Men sometimes hope, * and often say that they are not gnat sinners, and do not need aSaviour. Such men are fearfully deluded. A loathsome disease has taken possession of. their hearts, which if not < cured, will terminate in eternal death. As j well might we expect to live in a land destitute of atmosphere, as to be saved without Jesus. There is in the heart of every man a < seed of moral pollution which will produce ruin, temporal, spiritual and eternal. The : only reason why every little ville isnot a Sod- ' om, is that God restrains the hearts of the in- I habitants and makes their wrath to praise him. The only reason God has not visited every town and hamlet on the face of the earth, as he visited Sodom and Gomorah, with a shower \ of fire and brimstone is, He is a God of mercy . through Christ his son. Men despise and re-1 iect the gospel; but such rejection will ultimately prove ruinous to them, both in this ' world and that which is to come. In the goe* j pel Jesus promises his people new hearts, and in spite of the sneers of the ungodly, the be- f iiever feels that he has 8 new heart ?stMIt (fiqiiiw. i TERMS IN ADVANCE t !)ne Copy, one year,..,.. f 3 00 * >ne Copy, Six months,... ..
