HE IxEABETH ME.
In pastures green ? Not always; sometimes
.He
Who kcowest best ia kindness leadetb
me
In weary ways, where beary shadows be.
.. Ont of the sunshine, warm, and soft, and
bright,
.'. Ont of the sunshine into tfie darkest night,
-v l oft would faint with sorrow and affright.
Only for this-I ktow he hold3 my hand,
Ev : - -Sot. whether in ?reen or desert land,
. " I trust, although I may not understand.
And bj still waters? No, not always
. so;
Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me
blow,
And" o'er mj soul the waves and billows
. fio.
Bot where the storms beat loudest, and I
Aloud for help, the Master standetb by,
And whispers to my soul, . 'Lo, it is I.' '
Above the tempest wild! hear Him say,
?'Beyond tltis darkness lies the perfect day,
In.evtrjpath-ofthinel lead the way."
So, whether on the hilltops high and
fair
I dwell, or is the sunless valleys where
The shadows lie-what matter? He is
there.
And more than this; where'er the pathway
3ead;
Hegives to me no helpless; broken reed,
But his own hand, sufficient for my need.
So whore He leads me-1 caa safely go ;
- And in the blest hereafter I shall know
Why in dis wisdom He hath led me so.

SINAI.
- > _
Last spring Kev. Dr. H. M. Field
wrote some very iateresting letters
home to bis paper, the New York"
^Evangelist. We copy the following
; from Moast Sinai :
, I have jost learned that a party who
nave completed their visit to Sinai pro?
pose, to start to-morrow morning on
their return to Suei. and I take advan?
tage of the opportunity to send yon a
. few words, lt is^tw?lve days since
we left Cairo, and I nave never had
; more interest crowded into any equal
portion of my life, lt is impossinle to
convey to you any impression of it, at
least by a brief and "hurried description.
The notes which I have taken by the
way have been very foil, and * will -fur?
nish abundant materials for whatever I
may write hereafter, feat they must be
worked ?wt with the utmost care. One
or two things only would t say heired
First of al dismiss from your mind
forever the idea taut toe Wilderness of
Sinai ia a mere desert, as we com mon
_^__Jy- understand tie-word-that is, a
boundless plain of sand. In my ear?
lier days.,; "before I had read,, much on
?fae subject, I had a vague idea that
Jtfount Sinai was a solitary peak, stand
-ing-a?one, the one grand object on a
fconndless horizon, and that the desert
rented up to its very base. Now de?
berte enough there ?ce tn this sense, as
> Ibie found by sore experience as. I
foavetnoved slowly across their long
an* burning wastes But the Wilder-^
ness of "Sinai is a wildernsss of moun?
tains--and of mountains of the most
.grand-and awful character. I think a
geologist would pronounce this Penin?
sula ?ne of the most remarkable forma?
tions -co the globe.. It seems as if its in
numerable granite peaks must have been
thrown up out of a lake of fire, as waves
are thrown ap by the sea; that in a
' remote .geological period, when the
body of ?ar planet was a molten mass,
?od material forces were acting with an
intensity and violen ce of which we have
~ ue conception, in some tremendous con?
vulsion the naming crests were tossed
against the sky and then soddenly ar?
rested by the Creator's hand, which
held them fixed in their utmost wildness,
w so to remaio forever. Hence the in?
finite variety of mountain forms.
There is not one long chain, like the
Pyrenees or the Appennines, of a gene?
ral average height and form, but in
y----numerable peaks sharp and pointed, as
if piercing the sky. while other sum
mits arc broad and dome-like, as if the
^wry fceaveas might rest, on-the support
of such'everlasting hills.' And these
mouutvrteare unlike those of other .
conn tries i rfc being more barren and des?
olate I h**e seen mountains in all
parts of.the w^rld, and have found in
almost every_c?se that they had some
feature of beauly mingled with their
ruggedness, which took away somewhat'
of ibeir deso?ate t character. However
lofty ttfeir^el?v?tioW, their ascent was
gradual, extending wver many miles,
whereby they sloped fara gently to the
valleys, below and theuj lower sides
were clothed with vegetation, which re
lieved-their sterner aspect) and softened
their rugged grandeur. jNot so here.
The Mountains of Sinai ruse up abrupt?
ly from the plain, look?g more like
columns than pyramids ;i and as their
substance is the hardest * gran i te, which
affords little support t? vegetation, they
have an aspect of savage desolation j.
which I do Dot remember to have seen ;
ia the Alps or Himalayas.
s To complete the facture, one more
feature is wanting. - {Between these awful
mountains, and wending around among
them in countless turnings, are river <
beds, through/which tn the time of j
rains7 and stcjfrms there pour furious j
mountian torrents which as swiftly j
pass away/fo the sea, leaving behind
them onXyjthe traces of the ruin they ?
have nnade. These are the Wayds, of j
wp feb. so much is said in every account i
yoi this remarkable region. Looking j1
* s dows (rom any of tue loftier elevations j
(as I did on Mooday last from the top j
of Serbal, or yesterday from the top of j
Jebel Musa-the Mountain of Moses- j
and of that other peak which Pr. Robi- j
sou thinks to be the one from which j
God gave the law, one sees at a glance '
the configuration of the country, !
There, spread out as on a map, lies the ]
whole Sinaitic Peninsula. Bounding j
it on the east and west are the two j
arms of the Red Sea-the Gulf of Suez j
and the Gulf of Aka ba. Beyond the j
. latter stretches the long cbain of moun
tains of Arabia. Between them lies ;
that Peninsula which has been the j
scene of the most wonderful events in j
human history as the chosen spot where j
God bad direct intercourse witb men. i
Here, in these very Wadys through j
which we have been riding on our
earn els tb ese many days past, journeyed
^^the children of Israel for forty years.
Ifcrnoog the Arabs the mountains still
bear the name of the Moon tai cs of the
Wandering. At this very moment I
am writing in the Convent of St. Cath?
arine, at the foot of the mountain
which was once covered with cloud,
out of which issued thunderings and
lightings and the voice of God.
These are the things which fill the
mind of a Christian traveller who comes
to Sinai, and which he wishes to study
with care, and to write of with delibe?
ration. To write of such sacred themes
with haste would subject him to the
charge of flippancy. From Suez to
Sinai oo e is con tautly on the track of
the Israelites, from the point at which
they crossed the Bed Sea, to their sev?
eral encampments on the shore where
Miram saug her song of triumph ; to
the bitter water waters of Marah, and
the Palms of Elim ; and to the Oasis of
Feerao, to gain possession of which the
Israelites fought with the Amalekites,
and on a hill above which tradition
still points out as the spot where Moses
prayed, and Aaron and Kur held up
bis hands till the going down of the
sun. All this Old Testament history
becomes far more real to me than ever
before since I have passed over this
sacred ground ; and if I can in future
letters oonvey to others the impressions
I have received, and thereby increase
their knowledge and their, enjoyment
of the Word of God, I shall not have
undertaken this journey in vain.

Statistics of Dram Drinking.
The Christian Iudex not long since
compiled a table showing the ratio of
drinking saloons to' population in the
various States. What sources of infor?
mation were relied upon in preparing it
does not appear, but it is sufficiently
striking-not to say surprising-in its
results to be given in full. The num?
ber of population to each bar room is as
foliows in each State :
Alabama 608 Mississippi 654
Arkansas 554 Missouri 337
California 99 Nebraska 487
Colorado 76 N. Hampshire 376
Connecticut. 235 N.Jersey ~ 179
Delaware 252 Nevada 65
Florida . 653 New York 192
Georgi* 612 N. .Carolina 708
Illinois 267 Ohio 225
Indiana 380 Oregon 170
Iowa 377 Pennsylvania 263
Kansas 897 Kb. Island 596
Kentucky 438 S. Carolina 900
Louisiana 200 Tennessee 522
Maine 791 Texas 549
Maryland 293 Vermont 812
Massachusetts 245. Virginia 694
Michigan 350 W. Virginia 817
Minnesota 311 Wisconsin 304
From the temperance standpoint, the
State which ranks highest is the much
maligned South Carolina, while Nevada
lakes the lowest place. Of the older
States, Ohio, Connecticut, New York,
Sew Jersey, Louisiana and Massachu?
setts have the largest quotas of 'rum
ixoles' in proportion to population.
Maryland can not boast of her want of
kinking facilities. It ia a little sur?
prising to find Maine in the list at all?
ind more surprising to find it credited
ffitb more bar rooms, relative to popu
ation, than either West Virginia or
South Carolina, where there is no pro*
?ibition of liquor selling. The facts
presented in the table are susceptible,
io we ver, of various interpretations. It
Brill be observed that the dram drink?
ing States arc those that are wealthiest.
This coincidence is significant.-Balti?

A Sore Test.
Tell me what the Bible is to a man
md I will generally tell you what he is.
This is tho pulse to try, this is the
barometer to look at, if we would
know the state of the heart. I have
[io notion of the Spirit dwelling in a
nan, and not giving clear evidence of
bis presence. And I believe it to be
% signal evidence of the Spirit's pre-'
sence, when the word is really precious
:o a man's soul. When there is no
appetite for the truths of Scripture the
soul cannot be in a state of health.
There is some serious disease. Read?
er, what is the Bible to you ? Is it your
guide, your counsellor, your friend ?
It is your rule of faith and practice t Is
it your measure of truth aud error, of
right and wrong ? It ought to be so.
It was given for this purpose. If it is
not, do you really love your Bible ?
Bishop Ryle.
mum i i -
Brethren, believe in the power of tb*
Cross for the conversion of those around
you. Do not say of any man that be
cannot be saved. The blood of Jesus
is omnipotent. Do not say of any dis?
trict that it is too sunken, or of any
class of men that'they'are too far gone.
The work of the Cross reclaims the lost.
Believe it to be the power of God, and
you shall find it so. Believe in Christ
crucified and preach bodly in His name,
and you shall see great things and
gladsome things. Let no man's heart
fail him. Christ hath died ! Atone?
ment is complete! God is satisfied!
Peace is proclaimed ! Heaven glitters
with proofs of mercy, already bestowed
upon ten thousand times ten thousand !
Hell is trembling, Heaven ador?Dg,
Earth watiog. Advance,.ye saints, to
certain victory ! You shall overcome
through thc blood of the Lamb.-Spur?
geon.
Bishop Pierce, of the Methodist
Church, preached upon the subject of
'Sanctification* at a Culverton camp
ground in Hancock county last week.
He took strong grounds against the
doctrine as it ts being taught by its pro?
fessors, and bis sermon is said to have
been able and convincing. A distin?
guished Georgia divine recently said to
us, speaking upon this Bubjeet : 'Every
sermon, as far as I know, that bas been
preached to correct this error has been
signally honored of God.' It appears
that the most eminent divines of the
Methodist Church condemn the doc?
trine.-Eatonton Messenger.

Be not disheartened as if comfort
would not come at all, because it comes
not all at once; but patiently attend
God's leisure; they are not styled the
swift, but 'the sure mercies of David.'
Be assured wheo grace patieotly leads
the front, priory at last will be in the
rear.-Fuller.
Fasiiog without alms-giving is a
lamp without oil.-St. Augustine.
Like Him.
Beholding Christ, we are brought
into spiritual resemblance to him. No
truth has been more fully attested ; no
privilege is more inspiring to faith.
Here is the divine law of spiritual
growth. Even in oar human relations
this law of transformation is apparent.
How unconsciously we receive the im?
press of our faithful friends in this very
way. Beholding them with admiration
and love, we are 'changed into the
same image' according to our human
measure.
Imagine now the veil that prevents
a perfect sight of Christ rent in death ;
that we are now with our Lord, and,
ia closest intimacy of fellowship, are
now gazing upon Him 'face to face.'
Knowing Him even with that exactness
with which we are known communing
with Him without the possibility of the
slightest interruption of that inter?
course what of necessity follows ? Like?
ness ! perfect likeness ! Absolute con?
formity to Him who is the image of the
invisible God ! The law of spiritual
development, partially applied in this
life, requires this. In heaven fulness
of sight will result in ono thing
completeness of transformation. 'We
sball be liko Him, for we shall see
Him as he is.'
It is sometimes given to souls to long
for a release from earthly limitations,
and enter upon that life of 'open vision.'
Nor is this always a sign of unwilling?
ness to endure pain, pbysicialand men?
tal, according to the Father's will.
Rather, it is the proof of ripeness of
aoly character. Parity is to the soul
;o ineffably lovely, that it would soar
iway on swiftest wing to be with
Christ.

A woman was lately indicted in Eog
and for causing the death of her child
)y denying it adequate nourishment,
investigation showed, however, that the
Bother had fed the child regularly on

gnorant of the fact that starch is unable

Disease is an effect, not a cause. Its origin
is within ; its manifestations without. Hence,
to cure the the disease the cause must be re?
moved, ft od in no other way eau a cure ever
be effected. WARNER'S SAFE KIDNEY
AND LIVER CURE is established on just
this principle. It realizes that
95 Per Cent.
sf all diseases arise from deranged kidneys
ino* liver, and it strikes at once at the root of
the difficulty. The elements of which it is
jomposed act directly upon these great organs,
both as a food and restorer, and, hy placing
them in a healthy condition, drive disease
ind pain from the system.
For the innumerable troubles cau#ed by un?
healthy Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs;
for the distiessiug Disorders of Women ; for
Malaria, and for physical derangements gen
srally, thia great remedy has no equal. Be
cvare of imposters, imitations and concoctions
said to be just as good.

Ague Cure
Is a purely vegetable bitter and power?
ful tonic, and is warranted a speedy ead
certain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills
and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fe?
ver, Remittent Fever, Dumb: Ag
Periodical or Bilious Fever, and
malarial disorders. In miasmatic
tricts, the rapid poise, coated tongue,-tl
lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in the
and loins, and coldness of the spine
extremities, are only premonitions
severer symptoms, which terminate in the J
ague paroxysm, succeeded by high leve
and profuse perspiration.
It is a startling fact, that quinine,-arse-J
nie and other poisonous minerals, form the
basis of most of the "Fever and Agu?
Preparations/' " Specifics,'?-"Syrups*"
"Tonics," in tho market Tho-pr?t,
tions made from these mineral poisons,]
although they are palatable, and may^
break the chill, do not cure, but Jeave th* j
malarial and their own drug poison T la?
the system, producing quinism, dizziness,
ringing in the ears, headache, vertigo, and ?
other disorders more formidable tlian .thj>.
disease they were intended ^o cure.
AYEK'S AOCE CURB thoroughly vxadk
these noxious poisons'from the System?
and always cures the severest coses. Ttl
contains ?o quinine, minorai, JOT any thing j
that could injure the most .delicate pa-1
tient; and its crowding excellence, above]
its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the]
system as free from disease as before , tho
attack.
For Liver Complaints, AYERVAG?EJ
CURE, by direct action on the liver and"
biliary apparatus, drives put the poisons
which! produce these complaints, ania.stim?
ulates the system to a vigorous, healthy
condition.
We -warrant it -when taken according to
directions.
