RELIGION, MORALS AND PHILOSOPHY. Rev. C. C. BROWN, Editor. WHAT IS HEAVEN ? BY UBS. L. E. AMIS. Will any ransomed soul that enters Heaven, Feel strange, or gad, or ever lonely there ? What welcome shall be to the stranger given? . What sounds and voices first shall greet his ear? Shall all its scenes-be like some foreign land, Where those we . know and loved while here on earth Are left behind, on some far distant strand, In homes of human love, and human birth? i T Is Heaven to be but as a resting place, From earthly toils and cares, and crowds ~ and strife? . J. . N^Where wearied souls find only ease and space, . Oh 1 tell me, then is this the heavenly Ufe? Or is it but the end of that long road That, mortals each, must travel o'er alone, That fin al terminus-where res ts the load Of cares and sorrows by each mortal borne? Ohl ask thy heart what home thy heaven shall be, Ask of the hungry soul, "what doth it crave?" Shall ease and space and rest suffice for -thee?. ; Then why seek any heaven beyond thy : .grava? ;? . Oh! no-the grave's deep-rest can "net suf? fice, . The soul can not on emptiness be fed The "space" and "ease" of heaven could ne'er, entice ? " "Without- the glorious presence of its Head. ? Who lads thee to a horns of tender lom Where all the yearnings of thy heart are stilled; ? Thy weary, hungry soul like nestling dove, Shall on His bosom rest-forever fiUtdi Besult of Kindness. A servant of the Kev. Rowland Hill suddenly died, and bis master preached : lis funeral sermon to a numerous . au? dience, in the course of which he men? tioned the following anecdote;-Many .>?:."'vperaoos present were acquainted with |?> we deceased, and have had it in their power to observe his character and coa duct. They can bear witness that I speak the truth when I assert that he &v. ; Bas proved himself a perfectly sober, . honest, industrious and religious mao, faithfully performing, as fer as it lay in his power, the duties of his station in "Efe, and serving God with constancy -And zeal: yefc^ this very maa, this v virtuous and pious man, was once a rrobber on the . highway. More than 1 -thirty years ago he ?topped me on the 1 high-road and demanded my money, jj J ??ot at all intimidated, I argued with j r l?m. -I asked him what could induce j Xvfcim to pursue so iniquitous a course of : I"Hie. *I have been"a coachman, sir,' ?... ^gaidjhe, 'bat am out of place, and cot ; being We" to get a character ean , ? get BO - employment am therefore ' bilged to resort to this means of ; gaining a subsistence.* I desired r ; him to call upon me; he projnis t ed he would, and kept his word. I l talked further with him, and offered to t take him into roy service. He consent ed, and ever since that period he has served me faithfully and not only me, but he has faithfully served God. And < instead of having finished his life in a public ignominious manner, with a de? praved and hardened mind, as he prob? ably soon would have dooe, he has died in peaee, rejoicing in hope, and j prepared, we trust, for the society of j just men made perfect. Father's kneeling Place. The children were playing 'Gide the ''handkerchief.' I sat and watched ??hem a -long while and heard no mankind wrord, and saw scarcely a Tough movement; but after awhile, little ?Jack whose turn 4t was to hide .the handkerchief, went to the opposite -end of the room, and tried to secrete it tinder the cushion of a big chair, dreddy immediately walked over to him ?and ?aid, in a lew, gentle voice, * Please -Jack, don't hide she handerchief there, ihat is father's kneeling-place.' 'Father's kcceling-place 1' lt seem? ed like sacred ground to me as ic did .tolittle Freddy; and by-by, as the years roll on, and this place shall see father no more forever, will not the memory of this hallowed spot leave an impression upon the young hearts that time and change can never efface, and remain as one of the oiost precious memories of the old home? Oh, if there were only a 'father's knecliog place' in every family I The mother kneels in her chamber and teaches the little ones the morning and evening prayer, but the father's presence is often wanting; business and the cares of life engross all his time, and though the mother longs for his assistance and co? operation in the religious education of . the children, he thinks it is woman's work, and leaves it all to her. But in the pleasant room in which I am sitting, among books and flowers and singing birds, and the thousand and one little things that make a family parlor always homelike and cheerful, there is one sacred spot known only to dear little Freddy's heart as 'father's keeling-place. '-Exchange. Cannot go Back. It is a solemn thought. The past never returns. The path we have al? ready trodden cannot be walked over again. Deed3 and words of the past are buried in the eternity behind us. Every moment, every breath is push? ing us forward to the eternity beyond. We are made for immortality. The record of our lives is fixed. The' past is forever gose, the future beckons us onward, eternity is our life-time, and yet we know not what a day may briDg forth. *I wish 1 had never been bora,' said David Brainerd to his mother, when he was an impenitant lad, yet wrought upon by the Holy Spirit, "I wish I had never been born,' you are born David,' was the mother's calm re? ply, which remark only sent the arrow of conviction deeper into his soul. You reader, are born,-you cannot go back : yon-m?isi live and live forever. The questionof unutterable importance is, 'where w?j?^^|^?ve-will you live jrith the lost Mfa Ancient Babylon. Babylon was the paradise of archi? tecture. Driven out from thence, the more elaborate structures of modern times are only the evidence of her fall. After the site of Babylon had been se ; lected two million men were employed ; for the construction of the wall and prin? cipal works. The walls of the city were sixty miles in circumference. They were surrounded by a trench out of which had been dug the material for the construction of the city. There were twenty-five gates of solid brass on each side of the square city. Between every two gates a great watch tower sprang up into the heavens. From each of the twenty-five gates on either side a street ran through to the gate on the other 6ide, so that there were fifty streets, each fifteen miles long, which gave to the city an appearance of wonderful [regularity. The houses did not join ' each other on the ground, and between them were gardens and shrubbery. | From house top to house top were j bridges swung, over which the inbabi- j tan ts were accustomed to pass. A branch of the Euphrates went through the city, over which a bridge of marvellous structure was thrown, and under which a tunnel ran. To keep the river from overflowing the city in times of a freshet a great . lake was ar? ranged to catch the surplus, in which the water w?s kept as in a reservoir until times of drouth, when it was sent streaming down over the thirsty land. A palace stood at each end of the Eu? phrates bridge ; ono palace a mile and three-quarters.in compass, and the oth? er palace seven and a half miles in cir? cumference. The wife of Nebuchadnez? zar, having been brought up among the mountains of Media, could not stand it in this fiat country of Babylon, and so, to please her, Nebuchadnezzar had a mountain four hundred feet high, built in the midst of the city. The moun? tain was surrounded by terraces for the support of which great arches were lift? ed. On the top of the arches flat stones were kid ; then a layer of reeds and bitumen ; then two rows of bricks close? ly cemented ; then thick sheets of lead, upon which the soil was placed. The earth here deposited was so deep that the largest trees had room to anchor their roots. All the glory of the flow? ery topics was spread out on that tre mendeous height, until it most have seemed to one below as though the clouds were all in blossom, and the very sky leaned on the shoulder of the ce? dar. At the top an engine was con? structed, which drew the water from the Euphrates, far below, and made it spout up amid this garden of the skies. All this to please his wife ; she must have been pleased we think. In the midst of this city stood also the temple of Belus. One of its towers was one-eighth of a mile high, and on the tcp of it an observatory, which gave the astronomers great advantage, as, [being at so great a height, one could ettsily talk with the stars. This temple vftLS foll of cups and statues and cen? saos, all of gold. One image weighed & thousand Babylonish talents, which ?ill be equal to fifty million dollars. But w by enlarge ? The city is besieged asd doomed. Though provisioned for twen ty years, it shall fall to-night. See the g oh?, and silver plate flash on the king's uble. Pour out the rich wine from thc: tankards into the cups. Brink, my lords, to the health of the'king: Drinik to the glory of Babylon, Drink to the defenders of the city. Drink to tho glorious future. Startle not at the splashed wine on the table as though it were blood. Turn not pale at the clash of the cups, as though it wereihe clang of anns. Buri alas I alas ! great Babylon amid the drunken revelry of king and court was cast down in a single night as be tokened by the "hand writing upon the wall"-a lesson for all succeeding time. Let Atoertcans be a sober people, then shall years of peace and prosperity fol? low. Am I Growing. No Christian can afford to stand still. As a matter of fact he cannot bc" sta? tionary . He must of necessity either go forward or backward. There is in the character of every person, whether profess ing Christian or not, a constant, regular, unceasiug growing, either bet? ter or worse. It is important for every Christian to know beyond a question whether, day by bay, he is growing stronger in the Christian life, or weak? er. Often this is a most difficult ques? tion:, and not infrequently it gives sin? cere, earnest Christians serious trouble of mind. It is well to. remember that I we cannot always be conscious of Chris I tian growth, even though we may con? stantly be growing stronger and better. There arc so many points at which we are liable to be temporarily overcome ? by temptation (and the great Tempter j knows them all much better than we ! can,) that when one of these is assailed we give way to despondency and are apt to feel that we are losing instead of gainiug in real Christian strength, i Years ago there was a grand old oak I under whose wide spreading branches we used to play with our youthful com? panions and find shelter aud protection from the heat of the Summer's sun. i The storms came and beat upon it, and j its branches were swayed and bent by them, but when the storm ceased the grand old tree stood there still in the ! magnificence of its strength, unharmed j and really stronger because of its con ? ?ict with the elements. We never ! could see it grow, and after years of ab ! sence, when we return to it, we could ! scarcely notice that it was larger thau when we went away. But it was larg? er, and the storms that had beat upon ifc had not marred its grandeur or its beauty but had made it strouger and the better abie to withstand others. All those years it had been growing growing slowly, it is true, but still growing. So it may be with the Christian. His growth may not bo rapid, but if he will put. his trust in God, live in thc glory of his sunshine, and '-raw upon ? him with faith, as the oak draws i strength from the air and tVotn the ; earth, there will be a continuous and i steady growth. Then when thc storm* ? come, as they do come to us ali, they j will beat upon him in vain, and these j very storms will show him, vastly bet j ter than the calm, bright days ever i could, that be is growing stronger day I by day. We write these words for the ! encouragement of those who are earn ! estly seeking strength but who may j sometimes feel that they are j^r^ng 1 nothing in the struggle. The growth may. perhaps- be slow, but with tho experience of faith and trust and pray er it will be sure and constan Out-Done By a Boy. A lad in Boston, rather small for his age, works in an office as an errand boy for four gentlemen who do business there. One day, the gentlemen were chaffing him a little about being so small, and said to him. 'You will never amount to much, you never can do much business you are too small.' The little fellow looked at them. .Well,' said he, 'as small as I am, I can do semething that neither of you four men can do.' 'Ah, what is that Y said they. 'I don't know as 1 ought to tell you.' he replied. But they were anxious to know, and urged him to tell what he could do that neither of them were able to do. 4I can keep from swearing,' said the little fellow. There were some blashes on four manly faces, and there seemed to be very little anxiety for farther informa? tion on the point. Early Feeding and Vitality. Investigations made in Germany concerning the comparative vitality of children under various methods of feeding exhibit some peculiar results. Thus, of 100 children nursed by their mothers only 18.2 died during the first year; of those nursed by wet nurses, 29 33 died ; of those artificially fed, 60 died ; and of those brought up in in? stitutions, 80 died to the 100. Again, taking 1,000 well-to-do persons and 1,000 poor persons, there remained of the prosperous, after five years, 943, while of the poor only 650 re? mained alive; after fifty years there remained of the prosperous, 557 and only 283 of the poor ; at seventy years of age there remained of the prosperous 235, and but 65 of the poor. The to? tal average length of life among thc well-off class was found to be fifty years as against thirty-two among the poor. - - ~??~ e A church member, who was not noted for his liberality, wept when the pastor made a plea for missions, 'My dear friend,' said the preacher, 'never mind the tears this thing can't be ran by water.' ' Disease is an efiVci, not a cause. Iis origin is within; its manifestations without. Hence, to cure the the disease the cause must be re? moved, ?nd in no other way can a cn re ever be effected. WARNER'S SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE is established on just this principle. It realizes that 95 Per Cent. of all diseases arise from deranged kidneys and liver, and it strikes at once at the root of the difficulty. The elements of which it is composed act directly upon these great organs, both as a food and restorer, and, by placing them in a healthy condition, drive disease and pain from the system. For the innumerable troubles caused by un? healthy Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs; for the distiessing Disorders of Women ; for Malaria, and for physical derangements gen? erally, this great remedy has no equal.

Ague Cure Is a purely vegetable bitter and power? ful tonic, and is warranted a speedy and certain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fe? ver. Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, and alt malarial disorders. In ' miasmatic dis? tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst, lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in the bade and loins, aud coldness of the spine and extremities,, are only premonitions -of severer symptoms, which terminate in the ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever and profuse perspiration. It is a startling fact, that quinine, arse? nic and other poisonous minerals, form the basis of most of the "Fever and Ague Preparations," "Specifies," ** Syrups," and "Tonics," in the market. Th? prepara? tions made from these mineral poisons, although they aro palatable, and^ may break the chill, do not cure, but leave the malarial and their own drug poison in the system, producing quinism, dizziness, ringing ia the ears, headache, vertigo, and otlier disorders more formidable than the disease they were intended to cure. AYER'S AGUE CURE thoroughly eradicates these noxious poisons from the system, and always cures tho 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 tho system as free from disease as before tho attack. For Liver Complaints, AYZR'S AOVTR CCRE, by direct action on tho liver and biliary apparatus, drives out the poisons which produce these complaints, and stim? ulates the system to a vigorous, healthy condition.
