FORTY YEARS AGO.
How wondrous are the changes, Jim,
Since forty years ago,
When gals wore woolen dresses, Jim,
And ooys wore pants of tow !
When shoes were made of qalfskin,
And socks of homespun wbol,
T"And children did a half-day's work,
I Before the hour of school. I
The girls took music-lessons, Jim, 1
i Upon the spinning-wheel, S
* Ana practiced late and early, Jim,
1 On the spindle and on the reel;
?The boys would ride bare-t&ck to mill, j
A dozen miles or so,
And hurry off before 'twas day, '
Some forty years ago. l
The people rode to meeting, Jim, l
In sleds instead of sleighs, ,
And wagons rode as easy, Jim,
As buggies now-a-days.
And oxen answered well for teams, 1
Though now they'd be too slow,
For people lived not half so fast, f
Some forty years ago. (
Oh ! well do I remember, Jim,
That Wilson's patent stove
That father bought and paid for, Jim, !
In cloth our girls had wove. ]
.Andhow the neighbors wondered, Jim, ,
-V ?^Wfien we got the thing to go;
?They said t'would burst and kill us all? f
Some forty years ago.
Yes, every thing is different, Jim, I
From what it used to was,
For men are always tampering, Jim,
With God's great natural laws.
But what en earth we're coming to?
Does any body know ?
For every thing is changed so much,
Since forty years ago.
Humorous fepartmeut.
How the Darkey Made Love.?Years
ago a young planter was courting a certain
young lady in the sunny South.
One day he ordered his negro coachman to
drive down to the residence of his inamorata.
The next morning Coffee observed hisL
master and the young lady proceeding arm in
arm to the summer house, around which the
. vines had overspread, making it a cool re
treat from the sultry heat.
Be it known that Cuffee, on his arrival, had
fallen desperately in love with the ebony cook
the kitchen, but was dumbfounded in the
^^esence of the sable woman, the art of lovemaking
being to him an almost unfathomable
mystery. Cuffee, however, was bound to
learn, and he silently followed the pair to the
shady bower.
Parting the vines with his hands he very
{ cautiously looked in. There on the bench sat
the young lady, and kneeling on the ground
was his niaster, who was holding her hands
\ in his. Cuffee heard these words:
/ rv'-'P*1 ?Anr eye3 are Ilk? dove's eyes! Your
J i ^ i_ i i l ? n r\u
HObQm^B aiauasier neca sew my ueari on ure. vii,
n^H Cupid."
9H^B As quick as possible CufFee disappeared
Hn from the scene. He returned to the kitchen,
turned a kettle bottom side up, seized the he|HH
wildered Dinah and set her on the kettle.
Tien getting down on his knees he took both
BR^^. kyl^inds in his, and with upturned eyes ex9HB^^
O^d, "Oh, your eyes are like dogs eyes!
BSHn^^Ak^Hy blasted neck sets my heart on fire.
[^BBBBnB^H^een of that unfortunate darkey, he
from the wrath to come, followed
^^^^H^^mndry stove sticks propelled by the irate
^and indiguaut Dinah.
T hey Couldn't Make Him Speak.?They
had a dime supper in the neighborhood of
Pawtucket, conceived and carried out by the
. ladies. The conditions of this novel supper
were these: "For every word spoken by the ,
gentlemen at the supper table, a forfeit of ten <
cents was imposed ; but on the other hand (as
duties are always compensated with rights
and restrictions with privileges) it was agreed (
that whoever could weather the whole supper, 1
.submitting to all queries, surprises and inge- i
l/ious 'questions without replying, should be '
entitled to it gratuitously." Many and fre- ,
quent were the artifices and subterfuges re- j
sorted to by the ladies in attendance to entrap
the unguarded, and one after another
stont and discreet man went down before the 1
constant volley of artful interrogations. At '
last all fell out and paid the dime penalty save i
one individual?a queer chap?whom no one ,
.seemed to know. He attended strictly tc busi- ,
ness and passed unheeded the jokes, jibes and
challenges. They quizzed him, but all in
vain. He wrestled with the turkey and grap- 1
pled with the goose. He bailed out the cran- *
bery sauce with an unswerving hand, and ate i
celery as the scriptural vegetarian ate grass ; j
and finally, when he had finished his fifth (
piece of pie, he whipped out a pocket slate, .
and wrote on it, in a large and legible hand:
"I am deaf and dumb." *
Unhealthy Weather to Order.?The >
late James Fisk, Jr., used to tell a good sto- i
i ry of Daniel Drew. One summer when Fisk j
was beginning his career in New York, he ,
jyhs anxious to get away on a vacation, but
conid not do so while Drew remained in town. '
His quick wit was not to be baffled. In '
the afternoon he.called at his employer's '
house to report the news of the day, and as <
they were talking, a funeral_went past. Fisk , ]
descanted on the unhealthy weather,-and an- ,
other funeral went by. "Uncle Dan'l" be- j
~ gan to show signs of nervousness, and Fisk ,
talked all the faster about the unhealthy
weather and the unusual number of deaths,
when another funeral cortege passed slowly i
along. It was evident that Drew was becoming
very nervous. He figeted in his ,
chair, and asked whether there were really
so many deaths, when another funeral went
by. In fact, funerals kept passing with wonderful
rapidity, until "Uncle Dan'l," driven '
to desperation, rushed to the door, ordered his 1
valise packed, and started for Putnam county <
.on the next train. Fisk got his vacation. ,
He had hired an undertaker to drive a hearse '
and six carriages around the block while he
conversed with the old speculator within. 1
A "Bunkum" Fence.?"That is a horrid 1
fence the Commissioners have spoiled the front '
of the Court-House with," said jailer nanus i
this morning, as he toyed with a pair of hand- ,
cuffs in front of the stove in the Sheriff's office.
"I think it's a buncombe fence," replied
Deputy Sheriff McCutchan, determined to
place himself in opposition, right or wrong. '
" What kind of fence is a buncombe fence ?" 1
inquired the jailer, sneeringly. 1
"I thought every body knew that," answer- <
ed the deputy, triumphantly. "A buncombe
fence is a fence that is horse high, hog tight
and bull strong."
I?* Father never thinks his ten-years old
son is stronger than a horse until he employs
him to turn the grindstone to sharpen an axe
that is about as sharp at one end as the other. ,
The old man bears up until the boy's eyes
hang out and his trowsers' buckle flies off,
and iust beforo he bursts a blood vessel his
^irages him with the remark:
hard ?" Thousands of boys
KHHESp^run away from home and become pirates
nd greenbackers in order to escape a second <
siege at the grindsone.
History Not His Forte.?Senator Sharon '
once dined with a literary club in New York.
At the table he quoted from history, and a
little man at his right joined issue on the 1
question. Sharon waxed a trifle warm, and j i
insinuated that his opponent might be a clev- j
er sort of a man, but history was not his forte.: j
After dinner Sharon remarked to a friend, j
"Who is that little cus3 there who disputed !
my dates ?" "Bancroft, the historian." j j
I?" A congregation, anxious to get rid of ]
their pastor, were considerably perplexed how ; I
to do it without hurtiflg his feelings. After ]
considerable trouble they concluded to inform ,
him they were obliged to reduce his salary. J t
A delegate was appointed to wait on and no- j
tify him of the fact "Brother," was the re- *
ply, "I have been with you in your prosper- I
ity, and I will never desert you in your ad- 1
versity." i

[Original.]
THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD.
It would be a difficult thiug to nad a sin- p
?le individual who, in reality, denies the ex- ^
istence of a Supreme Being. It is barely pos- *
sible that such a human being lives. No ~
loubt there are some persons who are ready
to say that they do not believe in the exist3nce
of God; but the acts of such persons
most positively contradict their words. But,
notwithstanding the fact that the mass of
men believe in" the existence of a Supreme
Being, still, there are a vast multitude of the
human family who dp not ascribe to that
Supreme Being, the attributes which are
Eiscribed to the Most High God in the Bible,
[n other words, there are multitudes who, in
some sort of way, worship and adore a god ;
but their god is not the God of the Bible.
The God of the Bible is, by them, stripped of
some of his attributes, and in some sense made
to resemble themselves. One of the attributes
of the God of the Bible is sovereignty.
There are two kinds of sovereignty. A partial
sovereignty, such as is exercised by the
rulers in human governments or the commanders
of armies, and an absolute sovereignty
which is exercised by God only.
The error with most of us is, that we make
God's sovereignty only partial. It is manifest
that the sovereignty of every creature
must be partial. The mightiest earthly
potentate's power can extend over only his
own subjects, and only partially over them.
There are some things that no man can control.
They are beyond his reach. The sovereignty
of God extends over all things, and'
is absolute in every particular. It is briefly
but powerfully expressed by the Psalmist,
when he says: "The Lord reigneth." He
does not mean that he reigns'as the governor
of a State or as the king of a vast country ;
but he reigns absolute king over all things.
He controls every thing in the universe.
This is not a palatable doctrine ; but it is
the doctrine of the Bible, and it is in strict accordance
with both reason and observation.
Reason declares, if there be a single thing over
which God does not exercise absolute control,
then he is not sunreme. Cnnseouentlv. we
? ? ? "I ? J J '
may safely conclude that if the God we worship
is not an absolute sovereign, he is not the
true God.
From observation, we may easily learn that
God is a supreme sovereign. His attribute of
sovereignty is exercised constantly, without a
moment's intermission, over things animate
and things inanimate. The sun and moon,
and stars are all under his control. It is true
they move in accordance with* a fixed law;
but this only proves that they are the subjects
of an absolute Sovereign. If they moved in
accordance with no law, then there would be
some room to conjecture, and only to conjecture,
"that they were controlled by no power.
Since the heavenly bodies are all obedient
to law, we may safely conclude that that law
is the command of a Supreme Being.
The same may be said of the winds, of the
clouds, and of the thunder and lightning.
These are but partially understood, even by
the wisest of men, and wholly beyond the "
control of every created being. We hear the
sound of the wind, but are wholly unable to
tell whence it coraeth or whither it goeth. I
The clouds float above our heads, freighted
with rain and charged with thuuder and
lightning. Who, of created beings, in the ^
midst of a tornado, ever claimed the power to J
govern the clouds. Iu the midst of a storm,
the heart of the bravest becomes faint. After
it is over, we may speak of its grandeur; but
when its fury was breaking in upon us, the
?overeierntv of God awed us into silence.
------ o - -J
One difficulty with most of us, in Qonneciion
with this subject, is how to reconcile the
absolute sovereignty of God and the free
agency of man. This we cannot do. It is
impossible; yet both are true. We know
:hat God is an absolute sovereign, and we are ^
conscious that we are free agents, accountable
;o God for all our thoughts, words and acts. 15
Both these truths are taught in the Bible.
Another difficulty is to reconcile the absolute v
sovereignty of God and the fact that sin is j
in the world. In other words, our heterodox 8
r
minds reason thus: "If God is an absolute
sovereign, he must be the author of sin." We q
know that God is not the author of sin ; but *
. E
it does not follow that because some of his j,
creatures are sinners, that he is not an abso- n
lute sovereign. There is no denying the fact ?
that sin is in the world, and it is certain that ]
it is in the world by the permission of God. ?
This, however, does not remove the difficulty;
but it puts a new phase on the subject. God, r
in the exercise of his sovereignty, suffered
man, in the exercise of his free will, to sin, i
that he might have a greater opportunity of
displaying his sovereignty in saving sinners. *
In point of fact, the greatest display of soveignty
the most absolute, is seen in the plan of
redemption. It will be admitted that t]
God, in the creation of man, acted in the ca- li
c
pacity of an absolute sovereign. He was s
made according to the fashion devised by the *
divine mind. No one controlled God in the
construction of man. His body was formed
out of the dust of the ground, and his Spirit
was breathed into him by his maker. The
3ame is true with regard to the redemption
of sinners. God alone devised the plan, and
he alone executed it.
Both the difficulties mentioned have their
origin, not in the things themselves; but in
our ignorance. We are unable to reconcile
two facts?the sovereignty of God and the free
agency of man?because of our ignorance. We
attempt to reconcile two things,1'neither of | a
wtnctrwe luiiy understand.
We must be careful when we speak of the
absolute sovereiguty of God, not to confound |
it with arbitrary tyranny. God is not a ty-1
rant. He never displays his power but for his j ]
own glory and the good of his creatures. In
fact, so far as the Scriptures teach and obser- j
vation discovers, the glorv of God and the ?
good of his creatures are inseparably connect- fi
ed. When Jesus Christ was born, the event
was proclaimed by angels saying: "Glory to
God in the highest?good will to men." The (
death of Jesus Christ was the greatest possi-: 0
ble exhibition of sovereignty, but it brought;
more glory to God than the creation of all 0
worlds did, and no event was productive of so
much good, both for time and eternity, to so P
many of the human family. j j,
Awful as is the sovereignty of God, it forms s
i solid base upon which we can build both for
time and eternity. But for the fact that the a
Lord reigneth king, the devil and wicked , t(
men would long ago have destroyed the world
itself. Did God not possess the power and
:he prerogative to still the tumults of the
oeople and frustrate the devices of Satan, the .
svorld and all that it contains could not last t
single day. Take away from God absolute
sovereignty, and no ground of hope is left. 1
Every thing becomes uncertain and nothing j<
s sure. Seed time and harvest, summer and A
vinter, heat and cold, cease to be realities,!
nd become unreliable vagaries. The bow J
the cloud means nothing, and the vernalj
bowers fall for no purpose. In a moment,1
eep despair settles on the face of the universe,
nd wild ruin sweeps over the whole.
