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." (Here the

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.

tf3F In the days when only "hard money"
was used by the agents of "Uncle Sam," a
young man from the rural districts went to a
post-office in New York, with a bank note for
a dollar's worth of stamps. 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.

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?

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

that he wished she wouldn t and she has notj

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.

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

when the farmers of the country were
sending up a despairing cry for help against,
the hosts of "General Green." Soldiers' IE**

: A young laay of one Of the most aristocratic
families of the American Athens, went
to her. physician with a complaint that her j
ears were too large, and, under her instruc-'

pink gristle, about an inch and a half long,
from each protuberant. He sewed up the
wound, and the maiden, previously all forlorn,
was delighted to behola two "pretty ears,"
small, graceful and genteelly tight to her head.

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.

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
