RELIGION, MORALS AND PHILOSOPHY. Rev. C. C. BROWN. Editor. WHAT IS ETERNITY. What is eternity ? Can aught Paint its duration to the thought? Tell every beam the sun emits, When rn sublimest noon he sits ; Tell every light-winged mote that strays Within its ample round of rays ; Tell all the leaves and all the buds That crown the gardens, fields, and woods : Tell all tbs spires of grass the meads Produce, when spring propitious leads The new-boro jear. . . Be this astonishing account Augmented with the full amount Of all the crops the clouds have shed Where'er the::- watery fleeces spread Through all Time's long protracted tour ; Tell all the sands the ocean leaves, Tell all the changes of its waves, Or tell with more laborious pains, The drops its mighty mass contains: * ?* v z Were there a belt that could contain In its vast orb the earth and main, With figures were it clustered o'er, And not one cipher in the score ; And could your laboring thoughts assign The total-of the crowded line: How vast the amount, the attempt how yain, To read duration's endless chain ; For when as many years have run, Eternity is bat begun ; Then thick, O man. with awe divine, That this Eternity is thine ! flanean - Ljgwjmrocum-o Spurgeon at Home. Br. Theo. L. Guyler, who has recent? ly been on a visit to this country, writes to the A7. T. Evangelist : Saturday after? noon was the most thoroughly enjoya? ble one I have spent in England. Mr. Newman Hali drove me through South London to the beautiful villa of Mr. Spurgeon at Upper Norwood, near the Sydenham Crystal Palace. Mr. Spur? geon purchased it a year ago in ex? change for his house in Clapham, and it is a rural paradise. The great preacher, with a jovial countenance, \ came out of his door with both hands outstretched to give us a welcome. Saturday afternoeo is bis holiday. For an hour he conducted us over his de? lightful grounds and through his gar? den and conservatory, and then to a rustic arbour, where he entertained us with one of his racy talks which are as characteristic as his sermons. It may be no breach of privacy to give his esti? mate of the New Revision, which ho pronounces a most valuable help to the study of the New Testament, but need? ing itself to b? revised before it can come into universal use. He emphati? cally approves of the suggestion of the i American revisers, and regrets that they had not been generally adopted by their English associates. This feeling is expressed by many eminent clergy? men whom I meet here. Mr. Spur? geons study is a charming apartment opening out on his lawn ; the view ex? tends for twelve miles to Epsom Bowns. His parlor, too, is lined with elegant volumes. He showed us with great glee a portfolio of caricatures of him? self, and then, by way of contrast, a series of translations of his sermons in various foreign tongues. His comely wife-for a long time a suffering inva? lid-presided at the table with grace j and sweetness. Their twin sons have j already entered the ministry-one in London and the other now in New Zealand. It was 6 o'clock on Satur? day when we bade him 'Good-bye,' and he assured us that he had not yet select? ed even the texts for his next day's discourses ! *I shall go down in the garden presently/ said he, 'and ar? range my morning's discourse, and choose a text for that in the evening ; then to-morrow afternoon, before preaching, I will make an outline of the second one/ This has been his habit for many years, lie never com? poses a sentence in advance, and rarely | spends over half an hour io laying out | the plan of a sermon. Constant study j fills his mental cask, and he has only to j turn the spigot and draw. I parted from him with fresh gratitude for see? ing once more the man who by tongue and pen has brought the prenions Gos? pel to more souls than any man since j the days of the Apostles." How to treat a Wife. First, get a wife ; secondly, be pa- j tient. You may have great trials and j perplexities in 3?our business with the world ; but do not therefore carry to your home a cloudy or contracted brow. Tour wife may have many trials, which, j though of less magnitude, may be hard j for her to bear. A kind, conciliatory j word, a tender look, will do wonders in j chasing from her brow all clouds of j gloom. You encounter your difficulties ? in open air, fanned by heaven's cool i breezes ; but your wife is often shut in | from these reviving iufiuonces ; and j her, health fails-her spirits lose their elasticity. But, oh, bear with her. She has trials and sorrows to which vou ! J i are a stranger, but which your tender- j ness can denrive all of their anguish. Notice kindly her efforts to promote | your comfort. Bo not receive all her i good offices as a matter of course, and j pass them by, at the same time being j very sure to observe any om mission of j what you may consider duty to you. j Bo not treat ber with indifference, if ? you would not scar auil palsy her heart, j which watered by kindness, would to j the last day of your existence throb j with constant and sincere afffcuon for j you. Sometimes yield }'0ur wishes to j hers. lier preferences may be as j strong as yours. Regard it as an in- ? du?gence to yourself to yield some- ' times. Think you it is not as difficult ! for her to give up always ? Is there \ not danger she will deem you selfish ? j With such an opiuion she cannot love as she might. Again, show yourself a manly man, that y oar wife may look j np to you, and feel that you will act nobly, and can confide in your judg? ment. - . CO. - Crumbs. Faith is thc nail which fastens the soul to Christ, and love is that grace j which drives it to thc head. Faith j takes hold of him and lo7e helps to keep ; the grip. Christ dwells in the hear1, I by faith, and ne bvrns in the heart by love, like a fire melting the heart. Faith casts the knot and love draws it fast. When God's flail of adversity is upon ns, wc should not be like the chaff, which flies into the face of the thrasher, but like the grain which lies at his feet. I Verification of Scripture. The Rev. Professor Plumtre, in paper just published, draws attention to the fact that the history both of the OM and New Testaments stands now on a firmer footing than it did a hundred years ago. Assyrian, Babylo? nian, and Egyptian inscriptions have brought into daylight clearness all that the Hebrew Scriptures tell us of such rulers as the Pharaohs., Sennacherib, Salmaneser, Nebuchadnezzar, etc, Chaldean and Assyrian records give the Bible names of Omri, Ahab, Jehu, Pekah, Azariah, Abaz aod Hezekiah. The cemeteries of Rome, the Columba* rium of Livia, the arch at Thessaloniac, the stones of Cyprus, are adduced as ver? ifying the New Testament account of the origin of the Christian Church. - - II - ? Interesting Findings In thc interest of the German Pales? tine Exploration Society, Dr. Guthe (in person) has recently been conduct? ing explorations on the ridge of Ophel. He is "thus investigating a coiner of Jerusalem where, next to the quarter of the Holy Sepulchre, we are most in need of information and where rich success may be expected to reward the explorer. He has already found that the Ophel spur was once covered with buildings down almost to the very verge of the Pool of Siloam. "While it may be difficult to determine the date of these buildings, with some exceptions, they seeoi to to be not latter than the time of Hadrian. Possibly the wall of Colonel Warren has been ascertained to continue in a southern direction. Dr. Guthe regards other portions of the re? mains to belong to some Byzantine pe? riod, and, doubtless, the excavations will have to be considerably extended before final conclusions can be formed. Inside the Pyramids. An interesting piece of News for Egyptologists and the public generally has just been contributed to the Journal des D?bats from ?edrechyn by M. Gabriel Charmes. That gen? tleman is now travelling in Egypt with M. Maspero, the director of the Egyptiau Museum, who has deter? mined on opening all the pyramids that have not yet been explored and on further searching those that are not thoroughly known. Among the p3'ra mids situated on the borders of the Lybian Desert is that of Meydoum, said to be the most mysterious of all. It appears that its entrance had never been discovered. Ibrahim Pacha even endeavored to effect a breach in its walls with artillery, in the hope of finding a treasure concealed therein. It is to this pyramid that M. Maspero is now devoting his attention. By removing some of the ground on the north side of the artificial mound which surrounds the pyramid he has succeeded in uncovering all the points where an opening might be revealed, and the result has shown that his cal? culations were well founded. Thirteen days of active labor, with skilled workmen, have sufficed for the discovery of a secret which was be? lieved to be und isco ve rabie. The spades of the fellahs have exposed to view the opening, which is situated nearly at the top of the artificial mound. On entering the pyramids the visitor passes th tough a corridor, admirably constructed, which takes him about forty yards in a gentle de? cline, as is the case in the great Gizeh Pyramid. Here, for the moment, he is stopped by the debris, which is being rapidly cleared away. M. Maspero has already found two sacred inscriptions, in the style of the Twen? tieth Dynasty, giving the names of two scribes who had visited the pyra? mid. Hopes are entertained that no one may have set foot in it since and that | it may be found to be intact. "But," concludes Gabriel Charmes, "what? ever happens, the opening of the Mey? doum Pyramid will still unravel one of those mysteries which have for so many centuries hung over ancient Europe, and which one by one are yielding to the efforts of modern science." The late Mariette Bey, in one of his works, said that the pyramid was ? called by the Arabs, Ilaram el Katdab -the False Pyramid-as they be? lieved it to be nothing but a huge rock shaped as a pyramid. This tra? dition may have helped to preserve it from molestation. TRUTH ATTESTED. Some Important Statements of W ell-Known People Wholly Verified.

Y. : Gentlemen-For twenty years I have suffer? ed more or less from my bladder and Kidneys. My busiuess for many years lind required me to travel all over the southern states. Whilst going to Texas, last fall, ? saw ia a paper an advertisement of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. I bought a bottle, and in less than a week the improvement in my health was palpable. Since then, my general health has improved wonderfully, and 1 now enjoy a degree of health and strength, in every par? ticular, such as I had not hoped it po sible to enjoy again in this world-of which 1 am sat? isfied, under God's blessing, has been due to your remedy. o/yw.

Aug 2 tf THE NEWS AND COURIER? 1882. THE NEWS AXD COURIER, in the New Year, will have no other object than to help the people of South Carolina to manage their own affairs io their own way. To this end it will encourage the expression of intelligent opinion on subjects of general interest, and strive to be the means of laying before the whole State the views of those who have something sensi? ble to say, and know how to say it. The News and Courier will not be a passive spectator of events. It will utter its opinions frankly and freely, but, holding that what is wise and true has nothing to fear from analy? sis and discussion, it will never seek to strengthen its own position by suppressing the opinions of those who honestly differ from it. The News and Courier, with one exception, is the only newspaper in the South Atlantic States which receives the whole of theSouthern dispatches of the New York Associated Press, and this service will be supplemented by special dispatches from every part of the State and the United States. Recognizing the importance of giving the people the earliest and most accurate intelli? gence in State and National affairs, The News and Courier, will assign one of the most trus? ted and most capable members of its Staff to permanent duty at Columbia, and has sta? tioned at Washington the gentleman who earned golden opinions while on duty at the State Capital. This will he a year of ferment and possibly of change in South Carolina, and what the people require is to have all the news, without fear or favor, and no matter whom it helps or burts. The Resident Correspondent of The News and Courier at Columbia will give our readers information concerning men and things which can be obtained in no other newspaper. In like manner, the Resident Correspondent of The News and Courier at Washington, having no other newspaper to serve and being nobody's henchman, will be in position to report impartially the progress events and the acts of public men. The great effort of The News and Courier will be to get the most news, and to get it first and iu the best shape. The purpose is to make it a newspaper that no business man. no planter or farmer, no person interested in public affairs can afford to do without. IN THE STATE The News and Courier will advocate honesty, justice and economy, and will insist that merit and capacity shall be the prime tests in selecting candidates for public office. Particular attention will be paid to the wants of the farmers and planters, and The News and Courier, which formulated, more than ten years ago, a great economic truth in the phrase "Bring the Mills to the Cotton" will persevere in demonstrating the advan? tages and profits of manufacturing, of which South Carolina already furnishes many strik? ing examples. The utilization of the phos? phate deposits will claim our special care, with the view of obtaining the largest public benefits from the common inheritance of the people. The News and Courier will, indeed, be always active in disseminating the knowl? edge of improved processes in agriculture and manufactures, and will spare no pains in pointing out the means of turning to good ac? count the undeveloped as well as the active resources of the State. Believing that the public school is the cradle of an enduring Republic, and that popular education is the only permanent protection against demagogism, The News and Courier will always advocate the largest appropria? tions for educational purposes that the public can bear. IN NATIONAL AFFAIRS The News and Courier will advocate Honest Money: the re? striction of the coinage of silver to the measure of the public demands for use as cur? rency; the reform of the Civil Service through the Pendleton bill or any similar measure; the revision of the tariff for the relief of the people, and particularly of the agricultural classes; the abolition of the taxes on bank checks, bank deposits and capital and on patent medi? cines, and the retention of the duties on whiskey and tobacco in preference to the maintenance of the present tariff on imports; the regulation of Inter-State commerce by the National Government, so as to deprive rail? road corporations and combinations of the power to injure and oppress the people; free ships; public improvements by the National Government for National purposes; the ap? plication of surplus revenue lo the reduction of taxation, instead of the headlong extinction of the public debt, and, above all, liberal ap? propriations by the National Government for the education of the illiterate voters who were imposed upon the country by the act of the government and who are a perpetual menace to free institutions and honest rule. IN STATE AND NATIONAL AFFAIRS The News and Courier will uphold the rights of the States within their own spheres, under the Constitution as it is, and the supremacy of the National Government in National affairs. And the News and Courier will de? vote itself to strengthening good feeling, good will and mutual confidence between the people of the several States and between the States and the National Government. The Sunday News will retain ita social and literary character, in connection with all the news of the day, and the discussion of home subjects of local import and application will be continued. Hereafter none of the news published in The Sunday News will be pub- | lished in The News and Courier. THE TRI-WEEKLY edition of the News and Courier will be issued as before, giving the reader the news contained in The News and Courier, with slight exceptions, at one half the price. THE WEEKLY NEWS will be greatly im? proved. The Chess column and the Agricul? tural department will be continued, Puzzles and Problems for young and old will bea permanent feature, beginning with the New Year; and in a few weeks we shall begin the publication of "Ten Terrible Tales" by an English author of established reputation. Arrangements have been made likewise for a Serial Story by a South Carolina author whose works have attained great popularity in Northern periodicals. There is not anywhere in the South a better advertising medium than the News and Cou? rier, and in South Carolina it bas the adver? tising field, outside of the influential weekly press in the country, virtually to itself. It goes into every part of South Carolina and of the Uuited States, and has reached a com? manding position with the reading public.

Ague Cure Is a purely vegetable bitter and power? ful tonic, and is warranted a speedv and certaia cure for Fever and Ague, C-hills ami Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fe? ver, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all malarial disorders. In miasmatic dis? tricts, tbe rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst, lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in thc back and loins, and coldness of thc spine and extremities, are only premonitions of severer symptoms, which terminate in the atnie paroxysm, succeeded by high fever and profuse perspiration. It is a startling fact, that quinine, arse? nic and other poisonous minerals, form thc basis of inost of the " Fever and Ague Preparations," " Specifics," 11 Syrups," and ! "Tonics." in the market. The prepara? tions made from these mineral poisons, although they are palatable, and may break the chill, do not cure, but leave the I malarial and their own drug poison in ! the system, producing quinism, dizziness. I ringing in the ears; hoadaehe, vertigo, and other disorders more formidable than the disease they were intended to cure. AYKH'S AGUE CUKE thoroughly eradicates these noxious poisons from the system, and always cures the severest cases. It contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing that could injure the most delicate pa? tient; and its crowning excellence, above its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the system as free from disease as before the attack. For Liver Complaints, AYEK'S AGUE Cri?E, by direet ae.tion on the liver and biliary apparatus, drives out the noisons which produce these complaints, and stim? ulates the system to a vigorous, healthy condition.
