RELIGION, MORALS AND PHILOSOPHY, j
Rev. C. C. BROWN. Editor.
Scotland's Maiden Martyr.
-o
A troop of soldiers waited at the door,
A crowd of people gathered in the street.
Aloof a little from the sabres bared
And flashed into their faces. Then the door
Was opened, and two women meekl j stepped
Into the sunshine of the sweet May noon,
Out of the prison. One was weak and old?
A woman full of years, and full of woes,
The other was a maiden in her morn,
And they were one in name and one in faith;
Mother and daughter in the bonds of Christ,
That bound them closer than the ties of blood.
The troops moved on, and down the sunny
street
The people followed, ever falling back,
As in their faces flashed the naked blades.
But in the midst the women simply went,
As if they two were walking side by side,
Up to God's bouse on some still Sabbath
morn,
Only they were not clad for Sabbath day,
But as they went about their daily tasks,
They went to prison and to death,
Upon their Master's service.
On the shore
The troops of soldiers halt; the shining sands
Lay bare and glistening. The creeping tide
Had drawn back to its farthest weedy mark, j
And each succeeding wave, with dash and
curve,
That seemed to mock the sabres on the shore,
Drew nearer by a hand-breadth. "It will be
A long day's," murmured those murderous
men.
As they slacked rein?the leaders of the troop
Dismounting, and the people pressing near
To hear the pardon proffered, with the oata
Renouncing and denying part with all
The persecuted covenanted folk.
And both refused' the oath, "Because," they
said,
"Unless with Christ's dear servants we have
part,
We have no part with Him."
On this they took
The elder Margaret, and led her out
Over the sliding sands, the weedy sludge,
The pebbly shoals, far out, and fastened her
Unto the farthest stake already reached
By every rising wave, and left her there,
As the waves crept about her feet, in prayer
That He would uphold her in their midst,
Who holds them in the hollow of His hand.
The tide flowed in. And up and down the
shore
There paced the Provost, and the Laird of
Lay?
Grim Grierson; with Windrom and with
Graham,
And the rude soldiers jested, with rude oaths,
As in the midst the maiden meekly stood
Waiting, her doom delayed?said she would
turn
Before the tide, seek refuge in their arms
From the chill waves. And ever to her lips
There came the wondrous words of life and
peace:
"If God be for us, who can be against us?"
"Who shall divide us from the love of Christ!
Uor height, nor depth?"
A voice cried from the crowd?
A woman's voice, a very bitter cry? ,
"0 Margaret 1 my bonnie Margaret!
Gie in, gie in, and dinna break my heatt: j
Gie in, and take the oath."
The tide flowed in?
And so wore on the sunny afternoon ;
And every fire went out upon the heart;
And not a meal was tasted in the town
Upon that day.
And still the tide flowed in.
Her mother's voice yet sounding in her ears, ,
They turned young Margaret's face toward
the sea,
Where something white was floating?some- ,
thing white
As the sea mew sits upon the wave; j
But as she looked it sank, then showed again,
Then disappeared. And round the shoreward
stake
The tide stood ankle deep.
Then Grierson,
With cursing, vowed that he would wait no
more,
And to the stake the soldiers led her down,
And tied her hands; and round her slender
waist
Too roughly cast the rope, for Windrom came
And eased it, while he whispered in her ear,
"Come, take the test." And one cried
"Margaret,
Say but God save the king." "God save^he
king
Of his great grace," she answered, but the
oa:L
She would not take.
And still the tide flowed in,
And drove the people back, and silenced !
them..
The tide flowed in, and rising to her knee,
She sang the psalm, "To Thee I lift my soul."
The tide flowed in; and rising to her waist,
"To Thee, my God, I lift ray soul," she sang.
The tide flowed in, and rising to her throat,
She sang no more, but lifted up her face,
And there was glory over all the sky ;?
And there was glory over all the sea;?
A flood of glory?and the lifted face
Swam in it till it bowed beneath the flood,
And Scotland's maiden martyr went to God.
Character.
The most vital point in a professor is
his character. 1 know a man who
always preaches well, but somehow
I always feel in hearing him that
there is no strong, valorous, redeemed
man in it; it is the plea of a lawyer, j
and might be on the other side ; nut j
the wife's loyal and intense beseeching
for her husband Preaching is God's i
way of diffusing the truth, because by it j
he adds a man to the truth. A preach
er needs to have character, a self that
cuts is more than education, culture, or
skilled literary performance. Some
men ought never to have been recos
nized as preachers, because they never
had cutting power. The weak brethren
are as much out of place in the country
as in the city Character in the
preacher tells everywhere. Lack of it
fails everywhere. I have known learn
ing to be powerless, skilled serrnonic
art to be lifeless ; but I have also seen
character triumphant under the burdens
of ignorance, aud even of physical
defect. I knew a man who had a de
fective palate, who has preached into
the depths of my convictions, and
stirred me as with a tempe t. The
worst voices and the worst grammar
have overcome me with a man clothed
with Gospel behind them. If a preach
er 'is not much of a man,' don't set him j
to preaching. A preacher must be a i
good deal of a man.
The thought of universal peace is one
of gradeur, of immense interest to all;
and why any Christian or benevolent
mind should Dot appreciate its magni
tude, is hard to explain. A state of
war is the greatest violation of reason
whioh can be conceived.
Sentimental Gush.
A great deal of it flows from the lips
of 'advanced thinkers' of the day in re
ference to the Sabbath question. We
beard one recently dilate oo the benefits
of Sunday excursions to the poor work
men of cities. He wished, that he
owned a railroad. He would issue free
tickets to hundreds of these toilers and
to their families; carry them into the
country, where their pale cheeks might
be fanned by the sweet breezes, and j
their eyes might gaze on the lonely
flowers and babbling brooks, etc. He
would not have any whiskey, any beer;
nor would he ^distribute many tracts,
but 'sacred concerts' and gospel talks
and other pleasant little entertainments
should fill up this ideal Sabbath This
minister really thinks that this would be
a better way for the poor to spend a
summer Sunday, than church-going in
the city. They say, 'We have to work
all the week, and why shouldn't we
have a good time Sunday? We cannot
afford to lose a day's wages between
Monday and Saturday; of course not,
for we might lose our situation. The
Lord's day comes conviently for this
purpose. 'The Sabbath is made for
man,' you know. Therefore, it is
right for us to seek our own pleasure
on what used to be called by Puritans
'God's Holy day." 'Yes,' chimed in
another?he too an evangelical preacher
and city pastor?'I take a Sunday paper.
It is good, if for nothing else, to show
that Cotton Mather is dead. The Sab
bath is gene.' The Lord's day remains,
he admitted, and he so far regarded it
that 'he made a private arrangement
with his conscience5 to read bis Sunday
paper on Monday. He then attempted
a weak defence of this form of desecra
tion of the day of worship by saying
that the work on the paper was done .
mostly Saturday night; the circulation
was made early Sunday morning; much
of the reading was elevating, and that ,
we must take things as they are, for we ,
cannot change 'our belongings. A j i
brother promptly replied that the 'Black j t
Crook' was one of our 'belongings? j ]
shall we therefore patronize this abomi- \
nation ? The world would never have |
heard of a Luther, a Cromwell, a j
Whitefield, or a Wesley, if this idea (
had dominated them, that we are to ;
stoop to the level of sinful maxims and i
'level up;' that we are to encourage i
evil men by participating with them in j j
their sins, in order to coax them out of (
them. <
It pains us to pen these lines. The !
prevailing sentiment of Christian peo- !
pie in regard to the Sabbath and other (
vital questions of the hour needs some i
heathfal tonic. Can we wonder at the 2
wide-spread indifference to public wor
ship, the dearth 01 revivals, and other
signs of worldliness about us, so long as
such ideas are promulgated by Christian
ministers ? Sunday papers are not eleva- |
ting. Their direct influence is to pre
occupy the time that should be given to
the sanctuary and to create a disrelish i
for the preaching of the gospel. Sun- i ]
day picnics are not the best means of j J
grace for the poor. Said a man to us i
who had two hundred persons in his <
employment, 'Monday is uniformly a j
lost day where Sunday excursions are ,
had. These are more wearisome than <
week-day labor/ or words to that effect, s
Sentimentality is not what we need. 1
Let U9 leave to Oscar Wilde?'who, if
he has not been weighed has been found
wanting,'?the gospel of aesthetics.
He says that beauty, not morality, or
immorality, is to determine the excel
lence of things. We have not so learn- *
ed Christ. To the law and the teeti- J
mony. The Sabbath is not 'gone.' Ic t
'was made for man,' and so long as 1
man's necessities remain what they j
are, we need not be in doubt as to the
fitness of this institution of God to meet
those needs.?Church Union.
The Devil's Bait
Man's love for notoriety has ever
been one of his most dangerous traits of
character. For the sake of "making a
stir" in the world, men have, in all
ages, been, been found willing to sell
body and soul to Satan, to burn tem
ples, assassinate rulers, act the clown
in the pulpit, and blaspheme God on
the lecture platform And this weak
ness is only too well known to the devil.
He promises them a month-loug adver
tisement through the press of the whole
country, and a season of crowded audi
ences in their church, if they will but
say or do something heretical or out
rageous. And every now and then
some poor weakling snaps at the bait, 1
gets his name into the papers, and then
is forgotten. The last victim seems to
be a Chicago minister, of whom no one
had heard much before, but who now,
for denying in his pulpit thn personality
of God and the immortality of the soul,
is receiving his glorious reward, the men
tion of his name in every paper iu the
land. To-morrow he will again be for
gtten. 'Verily, he hath his reward.'?
Moravian.
- -4M-- j
If Christians do not sufficiently recog- j
nize the legitimacy of the pastor's call- 11
ing to render him full? his just wages,
and to assist him to maintain his manly
independence before the world, they
must not blame the world for looking
upon him with contempt that forbids
approach and precludes influence. The
world will be quite ready to take the
pastor at the valuation of his friends, j
and the religion he teaches at the price j
its professors are willing to pay in a !
business way for its ministry.?J. G. \ >
Holland.
Fifty thousand schools cost, probably |1
about ?150,000,000, or about one- j
ninth as much as the liquor bill of the j \
nation. The support of 50,000 minis-!
ters of Christ costs, perhaps, ?50,000,- ]
000. There are four times as many !:
agencies to destroy the people of this I
country as there are agencies to save j
them. There are three teachers of j
crime and pauperism to one of morality
and thrift. Ten times as much money
is spent for the destruction of men as
for their savin"
Are you feeling the chill of a new
and heavier shadow in your life ? Thank
God that it may, by His Grace, be a
means of blessing to those on whom it
falls when you pass by. Thank God,
also that it brings you iuto a possibility
of closer sympathy with Him who is the j
Author of your salvation, was made j
'perfect through suffering ;' and 'inso- j
much as ye are partakers of Christ's I
sufferings, rejoice: that at the revelation
of His glory also ye may rejoice with I
exceeding joy.'
We know not where heaven is, but [
we know what it contains; and this
knowledge opens to us an infinite field
for contemplation and delight.? W. E.
Channing.
Strength of Character.
Strength of character consists of two
things?power of will, and power of
self-restraint. It requires two things
to its existence, strong feelings, and
strong command over them. Now it is
here we make a great mistake?we mis
take strong feelings for stroug charac
ter. A man who bears all before him,
before whose frown domestics tremble,
an. whose bursts of fury make the chil
dren of the houshold quake?because he
has his will obeyed and his own way in
thiogs?we call him a strong man.
The truth is, that is the weak man : it
is his passions that are strong; he,
mastered by them, is weak. You must j
measure the strength of a man by the
power of those which subdue him.
And hence composure is very often the
highest result of strength. Did we
ever see a man receive a flagraut insult
and only grow a little pale and quietly
reply? That is a man spiritually
stroDg. Or did we ever see a man
in anguish stand as if carved out of
solid rock, mastering himself? Or one
bearing a hopeless daily trial remain
silent, and never tell the world what
cankered bis home peace ? That is
strength. He who, keenly sensitive,
with manly powers of indignation in
him, can be provoked and yet restrain
himself and forgive?these are the
strong men, the spiritual heroes.
The firmest friendships have been
formed in mutual adversity; as iron is
most strongly united by the fiercest
Uaine.?Golton.
None but God can satisfy the long
ings of an immortal; as the heart was
made for him. so he ooly can fill it.

Gentlemen?For twenty years I have suffer
ed more or less from my bladder and Kidneys.
My business for many years had required .ne
to travel all over the southern states. Whilst
joing to Texas, last fall, I saw in a paper an
idvertisement of Warner's Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure. I bought a bottie, and in less
than a week the improvement in my health
ivas palpable. Since then, my general health
aas improved wonderfully, and I now enjoy
i degree of health and strength, in every par
;icular, such as I had not hoped it po-sible to
jpjoy again in this world?of which I am sat
sfied, under God's blessing, has been due to

Is a compound of the virtues of sarsaparil
la, stillingia, mandrake, yellow dock, with
the iodide of potash and iron, all powerful
blood-making, blood-cleansing, and life-sus
taining elements. It is the purest, safest,
and most effectual alterative medicine
known or available to the public. The sci
ences of medicine and chemistry have never
produced so valuable a remedy, nor one so
potent to cure all diseases resulting from
impure blood. It cures Scrofula and
all scrofulous diseases, Erysipelas,
Rose, or St. Anthony's Fire, Pimples
and Face-grubs, Pustules, Blotches,
Boils, Tumors, Tetter, Humors,
Salt Rheum, Scald-head, Ring-worm,
Ulcers, Sores, Rheumatism, Mercurial
Disease, Neuralgia, Female Weak
nesses and Irregularities, Jaundice,
Affections of the Liver, Dyspepsia,
Emaciation, and General Debility.
By its searching and cleansing qualities
it purges out tbe foul corruptions which
contaminate the blood and cause derange
ment and decay. It- stimulates and enlivens
the vital functions, promotes energy and
strength, restores and' preserves health, and
infuses new life and vigor throughout th?
whole system. No sufferer from any dis
ease which arises from impurity of the
blood need despair who will give Ayek's
Saksaiwkilla a fair trial.
It is folly to experiment with the numer
ous low-priced mixtures, of cheap materials,
ana without medicinal virtues, offered as
blood-puritiers, while disease becomes more
firmly" seated. Aver s Sai^atakilla is a
medicine of such concentrated curative
power, that it is by far the best, cheapest,
and most reliable biood-puritier known.
Physicians know its eomjiositiou, and pre
scribe it. It has been widely used for forty
years, and has won the unqualified confi
dence of millions whom'it has benefited.

Extract from a Letter.
"The Queen's Delight" is beginning'to
awaken tbe attention of our physicians. Its
remarkable curative powers are seen in its
wonderful effect upon disease. As a blood
purifier there is no medicine like it known to
the profession. A gentleman told me that bis
son bad been taking the Queen's Delight, and
is more benccted by it than by any other
medicine. He wants a dozen bottles."
"Dr. E. Heinitsh:?Your medicine for.
Chills and Fever is a sure remedy. I bavei
been suffering for several months past, andj
one bottle ofyoar Chill and Fever Cure baj
eutirely cured the disease. I have--at
chill since, and 1 regard my health restored.'1
Yours, Respectfully, M. D. WADE.
,;I have used two bottles of 'Queen's De
light' and one box pills. The pain in my
back and side have left me; my liver is acting
well; my appetite better and my headache
gone. 1 feel like a young man j I shall use
your valuable medicine as long as I continue
to improve."
Yours, Respectfully, J. L. B.
;:Mr. E. Ileiuitsb?Dear Sir :?Mrs. Rials
