But what is the real issue he our Lord's Christianity and the |e world? It is not an issue be? ll if man theologies or between ^e and a setting forth of false claims Bible, for if that were the issue, slesiastical Christianity might be (ted to succumb anil some form of lity supervene. But the real issue en our Lord's Christianity and the Je world te the question, Is there a fnafTafaner of Love revealed to all irough the manifestation of the < Logos in Christ? Is there an ul intelligent source of law, har ig the phenomena of the Universe, loiliating, elevating and comfort i by the loving, noble and her ig manifestation in Ohrist? Ars tits of an unintelligible ohance, or Idovelopment of law with no law or are we thoughts of one il mind, united in love by such a Ifestation as our Divene Brother ard Jesus Christ? This issue throws bolesiastical disputes, based as they re upon a false use of the Bible, into shade; and upon this issue 1 can ?affirm that Chistianity (not in its ecclesiastical disputes, .not in jfilefTor parties trying to maintain lbling old outworks of Divinity sys ana a misused Bible against [ght and science, but,) in its pure itual power as thefunoorrupted reve ' of the love of God in Christ, has exhibited moro vitality than it 5-day. It shows it by the battle it is gathering around itself. To inly at the manner in which men i the churches are absorbed in ec utical and dogmatic disputes, one Id think that they are utterly , one una y ware of the great movement going on in the mind of the age; and truly, if Christ? ianity consisted only in such disputes, science and learning would ignore it with contempt. But why do sciance and learning recognize Christianity, cither to oppose or to defend? Precisely because there is in it a power different from and independent of all such dogmatic dis? putes; and it is that eascntiaTpower, the manifestation and witness of a personal God, a Divine love, a personal historical Christ, a holy life, which arouses the great battle now going on in tho intel? lectual world. Obsolete or weak things do not excite such strife, and whatever may be tho progress of destructive criti? cism, Christianity can be supplanted by nothing so long as there aro intellects to reverence and hearts to love a personal Christ Thus Christ (and the moro won? derfully will He?emerge from the very faot that we have only fragmentary me? morabilia of His life and sayings) has made and will make suoh an impress upon tho mind and heart of civilized hu? manity, as cannot be effaced by ecclesi? astical dogmas; and will only come out more powerfully, and receive more ndoi?ng homags in proportion as eccle? siastical speculations and disputes fade into the insignificancy into which they havo ever sunk with the progress of thought and science. See the tributes which oven the serious and earnest minded and honest rejectors of tho ec? clesiastical Christianity have paid almost involuntarily, constrainedly to the Per > Ronal Christ They have admitted that how e vor dost motive' soioutific criticism may.'-lie, it cannot take away from tho faithful heart the Personal Christ as the incarnation of the love of a Personal God., To thai let us seek to lead the fair , and' honest thoughts of men?of men whose" moral sense it not corruptedly prejudiced against ? morality?of men who. do not Jreject spirituality because they wilfully choose to be immoral?of men of any earnestness and fairness? and wo will find that with such men Christianity is a helping, blessing boon. But when we present Christ?the Incar? nate Love of God?to human souls, then wo mav, as preachers and setters forth of tho Messiahship as conceived by himself, defy all shallow scepticism, and be sure Djatwe have a profound inde? structible basis in human wants and longings and aspirations and soul depths, to which to appeal?by wbich Christ's Christianity will live and propa? gate itself ,'n love and consolation and conversion of hearts to the end of time. Tho New York Herald, in its surmises of tho cotton crop of this year in tho Southern States, says it is generally fa? vorable, notwithstanding the exception? ally' inclement season. Louisiana re? ports an increase in acreage of four per cent, Mississippi of three per cent, and Arkansas the same. Texas shows still more satisfactory returns, and Alabama is also encouraging. Poor, down-trod? den South Carolina Is the lowest on the list The wonderful resources of the South can bring that section back to its normal state of plenitude and prosperity, if needless Government interference be omitted. Thb^ New IIamtshisk lAoisniTrvE SQOAani.a.?The trouble in < the New Hampshire Legislature, which reached a crisis Wednesday, when the members of the Republican Senate seceded from that body, was continued by the House on Thursday. The question arose on pro? positions to refer the disputed Senato? rial matter to the Supreme Court of the Shite. The facts of the case aro these: The Constitution and laws of the State provide that a majority of all votes cast shall bo necessary for the election of Senator; that to be eligible to the Senate a man must reside in tho District for which he is chosen and must have been an inhabitant of the State for seven years! immediately preceding his election ,r and that the full Christian and surname of every person voted for must be printed or written upon every ballot, and all not thus prepared shall not be counted. Two of the Democratic candidates, Priest and Proctor, had each in his District a plu? rality only. The claim of the Republi? cans is that there was no election in either cose. The Governor and council, however, decided that there was no such man as "Natt" Head, one of the candi? dates, he having been christened "Na? thaniel," and so threw out all the votes cast for him. In the other District they decided that the prohibition candidate was not eligible, he not having resided in the State n sufficient length of time, and so they throw out all tho votes cast for him. The Governor and council, therefore, declared Messrs. Priest and Proctor elected. The issues presented in tho House were on tho method of set? tling the difficulty. The Republican proposition for a settlement was to refer tho question of the right of the Governor and council to declare Priest and Proc tor elected to the three Judges of the! Supreme Court, two of whom are Demo? crats. Tho Democrats offered to refer the question, not of the right of the can? vassers to declare these men elected, but of the legality of their election, to the Court The distinction between these two propositions lies in the fact that a decision upon the legality of the action of the Governor and council if adverse will vitiate the proceedings already had, by which the Democrats have secured the organization, while a decision by the Court upon the legality of the election of Messrs. Priest and Proctor would, if adverse, only have the effect to unseat them, leaving the organization as effected by their votes. As the Republicans have a majority in the House, they can of course havo their own way about it. i e>1 At Peterson, N. J., last Thursday, died Darios Wells, aged seventy-five. To his apparently simple invention of wooden typos, the arts of printing, engraving and stereotyping are immensely indebted. For 300 years, printers had depended on 1 metal types, and were restricted by the weight and cost of the material to small letters. The introduction of wood ren? dered the use of largo type both easy and c/feap, so that every printing office in tho world is now provided with them. The large posters and hand-bills that now flame our walls .in many colors were im? possible before the invention of Mr. Wells. "How to Find Out Who* Ant Given. Person Will Markt.? It don't require an astrologer, a medium or a gypsy with a dirty pack of cards, i It is very simple? lies in a nut-shell, and can bo expressed in a very fow words. They are these: The lost person yon would naturally think of. If a girl expresses her fondness for majestic men with large whiskers, make up your mind that she will marry a very small man with none. If she declares that "mind" is all she looks for, expect to sec her stand before the alter with a very pretty fellow who has just sense enough to tie a cravat bow. If. on the contrary, she declares she must have a handsome husbund, look about you for the plainest person in tho circlo of her acquaintance und declare "that is the man," for it will bo. Men are almost as bad. Tho gentleman who desires a wife with a mind and I mission, marries a lisping baby who I screams at tho sight of a mouse, and hides her face when she hears a sudden knock at the door. And the gentleman who dreaded anything like strong mindedness exults in the fact that his wife is everything he detested. If a girl says of one, "Marry one? I'd rather die," look upon the affair as settled, and expect cards to the wedding of these two people If a man remarks of a lady. "Not my style at all," await patiently the ap? pearance of his name in the matrimonial column in connection with that lady's. And if any two people declare them? selves "friends and nothing more," you may know what will come next There is no hypocrisy in nil this, and such marriages arc invariably the happiest. People do not know themselves, and make great mistakes about their inten? tions. Lovo is terribly perplexing when hC-first begins to upset one's theories, and when his arrow first pierces the heart there is such a fluttering there that it is hard to guess the cause lie sides, man proposes and God disposes, and it is the "I-"don't know what with which people fall in love, and not their peculiurities which could be given in n passport. Freeman, the distinguished historian, has been lecturing in London on "The Use of the English Language," in course of which he pointed out some examples of foreign words which had supplanted good English words and of words which had slipped into daily rise in a sense very different from their real meaning. Nearly all writers, and frequently those who write hurriedly for daily papers, and ^vhose knowledge of the English language is gained or freshened by the reading of papers, occasionally ubo the unnecessary or incoherent words men? tioned by Mr. Freeman. Some of these are worth remembering. One that is in common use is "ovation," which a wit? ness in the Tiehborne trial described as "yelling and hooting." It was a term applied to a Roman celebration, at which a victorious general walked to the place where n shoep (oyis) was sacrificed in his honor, and was inferior to a "triumph" at which the victorious general rode m a chariot to the place wnero a bull wa?" sacrificed. "Transpire" once meant to come out gradually, but now an event "transpires" whenever anything hap? pens. Men "allude to" each other by name, when they actually "speak" of each other. Waiters are not sent to "find out" anything or "ask" anything, they are told to "ascertain" or to *'in ?uire." Tradesmen do not "send in. leir bills" but "render their accounts," and singers do not "sing psalms," but the psalms arc beautifully "rendered." Things do not begin now-a-days, but are "inaugurated," and statues are also "in? augurated," not "uncovered" or "un? veiled." In concluding bis interesting lecture, Mr. Freeman said that the great use of lectures was to set people to think? ing themselves, and it each one would think what he could do for tho Eng? lish language, a reform would soon be wrought. An Actress' Luxurious Svrboundinos. Have you heard that Mile. Lasseng, (I am sure vou remember this piquant ac? tress of Palais Royal,) came as near being burnt as it is possible for an iceberg to be burncdV I instanced the conflagra? tion in Mile. Lasseng's rooms, just to let you see the insolent luxury in which those creatures live. You know, as an ac tress, she is tenth rat??. And yet her furniture cost over $100.000! She had a dressing gown of Mechlin lace and em? broidery which cost $1,000; $3,000 worth of furs;* thirty dresses, the cheapest of which cost $400, gold; all her skirts were of lace; her sheets were so fine vou could have run them through the bride's ring, and the embroidery on them more than doubled the cost of the linen. Her bed? chamber was in the Revival style, and was lined, walls and ceiling, with red damask silk, wadded and hand-embroid? ered. Her bed was seven feet long by six wide, was plnced on a platform of palissandre, covered with Smyrna car? pets. The bed-curtains were lace. Costly pictures, bronzes, statuettes, carved ivory, Chinese and Japanese curiosities, Rouen ahd Nevcrs earthenware. Limoges enamels, Sevres and Saxony porcelain, Gobelins and Beauvais tapestry wore to be found everywhere. Tho ceiling of the boudoir was a piece of embroidery representing Acte's Triumph; it cost $4,000. The dining-room was of old oak and Genoese velvet. The New York Times calls attention to the fact that a large portion of the fertile island of New Guinea, lying under the equator, and about ninety miles North of Australia, is unclaimed by any nation, tho Dutch occupying a small part only of the territory. The English recently explored the island, and Captain Lawson has made a glowing report of its marvel? ous resources. The Times thinks it would be a good idea, since the English have shown some hesitancy about plant? ing their flag on the soil, for the United Spates to rush in and possess the land. It might be a very good thing, but th >n, as we are experimenting in that lino at the Samoan Islands at the present time, it would be better to wait and sec how Col. Steinberger comes out of his mis? sion. Besides, Capt. Lawson, the Eng? lish oxplorer of New Guinea, had a flerco fight with the untutored savages of that island, which suggests forcibly that, if we take possession of it, wo will have to fight ana feed tho aborigines, and un? doubtedly have to submit to the dis gracefuljdnnder of a new Indian ring. Let the English have New Guinea if they want it. Poor Dear Hannah Ann.?It whs a great many years ago that the story wns first told of Miss Hannah Ann Sterry, on uncommonly mature virgin, who had never been persecuted with masculino Attentions because of the vigorous man? ner in which she shunned the face of man. Jt was related that Mr. Theophi lus Wlmblebee, an advanced bachelor of the mildest, possible deportment, occu? pying single quarters in the neighbor? hood of Hannah Ann's apartments, called on the spinster one afternoon to borrow a*match, ll.mn.ih Ann was not easily fooled. Folding' her arms on he level breast she backed Theophilus Wimblebee into a corner, anil thus ad? dressed the invader: "Match* Oh yes! Great match 'tis you want! You don't want no match, and you know you don't. You've come over to me 'cause I'm all alone?to hug and kiss me?that's what you've come for; but you never shall do it in the world unless vou're strongor'n I am" and then she added in a softened tone, "and the Lord knows you are." A friend of Hannah Ann's reading a letter from a public man the other day in which the writer said: "To recapitulate, I am not. nor have I ever.been, a candi? date for n re-nomination; I would not accept a nomination if it m ere tendered, unless it should come under such cir? cumstances as to make it an imperative duty, circumstances not likely to arise" ? laid down the (taper with 11 sigh and remarked, "Ah, how much that reminds me of poor deer Hannah Ann." [.Yew ForA: TrUfine. The Gnu. or To-day. The time has passed when women must be pale and delicate tobe called interesting- when she must be totally ignorant of all practical knowledge to be culled refined and high bred?when she must know nothing ofl the current political news of the day, or] be called masculine and strong-minded. It ms not a sign of birth and refinement ] to be sickly and ignorant. Those who affect anything of the kind are behind I the times, and must shake up and air themselves mentally and physically, or drop under the firm strides of common sense ideas and be crushed into utter ! insignificance. In these days an active, rosy-faced girl, with brain quickand clear, warm, light heart, and temper quickly heated at intended insult or injury, and I just as quick to forgive; whoso feet can ! run as fast as her tongue and not put her out of breath; who is not afraid of freckles, or to breathe the pure air of heaven unrestrained by the draw cur? tains of a close carriage; and above all, who can speak her mind and important topics which interest tntelligont people, is the true girl who will make a good woman. This is the girl who wins in these days. Forcible Burial.?The New Orleans Bulletin, of Saturday, tolls a horrible tale I of the^orci&fe burial of a living man in that city, on the '2Gth ult. Ho was a I negro named George IS.inks, and his dis case was small-pox. According to the statements of six or eight persons, pub? lished by the Bulletin, the man pushed the lid off tho coffin while it was on the cart on tho way to the cemetery; the driver of the cart placed it on again, sat on one end, and put a coffin containing { a baby on the other end to keep down the lid. At least half a dozen people as? serted that they saw this, that they dis? tinctly saw the movements of the man in the coffin in his efforts to rise, and one or two said they heard his groans and breathing. Several declared that the driver ordered them oil' when they approached and told him he had a living man in the coffin. The thing is almost incredible, but these are the cireunistan , tial statements. Tho driver was arrested and locked up. He denied everything except that he was the driver who car | ried the corji.se to the cemetery. The sad spectacle of a child eight years old being the means of convicting nis father of murder was presented in Jersey City last week. Catharine Kehoe was kicked to death by her husband. Peter Kehoe, the little son of the dead woman, gave the following statement to the jury: "When my papa cannp home on Friday night ho asked me to hike ort' hLs fdioes. I took them off, when he took one of the shoes and hit mamma on the head, with one of the shoes. Then he told me to go out on the street and plnv. I went out and .stayed about half an hour. When I came in mamma was dead on the lounge. Papa sent me out for wati r to wash her. lie then washed her and put her to bed. Then he told mo ho was going out tor tho Coroner. That's all I know about it. Wo were both taken to the station lions ?." Execution of a Colored Man. -Alfred Orange, colorod, was hung in Atlanta, Ga.. on the 4th, for the murder of Joe Mayfield, at West End. At 12:30 o'clock the prisoner was led from his cell to the place of execution. He walked with firmness and deliberation, and exhibited not the least nervousness. After kinging "Why should we start and fear to die?" prayers were offered by the Bev. W. French, Rev. Frank Quarles and Willy Grant. During this time Orange was self composed and unmoved, and kept chewing his tobacco until tho fatal cap was about to be placed on him, when he leisurely threw the tobacco away. When asked if he had anything to say, he re? plied: "Nothing, except good-bye, T am about to be off; good-bye. ' The cap was adjusted, the trigger sprung and the condemned man launched into eternity. Statistics have been collected in France, Algeria and Prussia, by which it is shown that tho Jewish race has a mean average duration of life exceeding that of Christians by about five years, and that this people enjoy greaUr immunity from disease than Christian races. The causes ascribed are the inheritance of a sound physical constitution, and the watchful caro of mothers over their offspring. The plagues which have visited various countries have left them unscathed. Croup is said to be extremely rare among their children, and they have very little scrofula. The Estrclla, Mexican newspaper, re? ferring to the Washington Chronicle's version of the Texas raids?that Mexico is too weak to restrain raiders - says: "If tho great republic cannot or will not keep marauding parties from passing into a friendly State and committing all kinds of atrocities, it cannot wonder at i weak Mexico not being able at all times l to prevent her bad boys from entering a friendlv State." ) a ... sa i==sq City Mattkbb??If you are asked to lend yoar Pncsnxz, suggest to the would be borrower that he had; better subscribe.

BI7t A Dead Delusddk.?Tho theory that human beings whose strength has been exhausted by pain and sickness can be restored by depleting medicines and water gruel, if not absolutely a dead de? lusion, is in the last agonies of dissolu? tion. At length it is understood that strength cannot be purged into a debili? tated frame, though life may easily be purged out of it, and that it is about as wise to withhold a healthful stimulant from the weak, in the expectation that they will rally without one, as it would be to deprive a lamp of oil and expect it to burn the brighter for it. Tho immense and uniform success which has attended tho use of that wonderful combination of a pure stimulant with the finest me? dicinal herbs, known as Hostetter's Sto? mach Bitters, has largely assisted in dis? pelling the absurd chimera. Frantic at? tempts are made to revive it, but in vain. When the sick feel that their strength is departing, and that unless invigorated they must utterly break down, it is in vain to tender them feculent slops in the place of genuine restoratives. They may be imposed upon in this way once, but the imposition cannot be repeated. They desire to be refreshed, comforted, braced up, and decline to be griped a second time. Under tho operation of the Bitters, on the other hand, all the processes necessary to physical restora? tion go on simultaneously.
