? REB?l?li MORALS AND PHILOSOPHY, -???: Rev. C* C. BROWN, Editor. ssss H?foa's Prayer of Patience. ~ Wehave< been requested to publish the following exquisite poem. It was written by M^?merican.lady, Elizabeth Lloyd, after ,: wards, Mis. Howell of Philadelphia. Many persons have fallen into the mistake of sup posing it to be Milton's own production, jjsg'This idea prevailed for along time even in V~ England, where it was thought the poem con tamed too many traces of-the* 'Miltonic fire" to.have come from any other hand than the biind old poet's own. We have noticed with " in ihepast few week mutilated copies of it published in at least two of our leading reli i" " ?ous exchanges and beaded Milton's Last '- I.' Pbenu"* We caution the brethern to look more closely to their literary columns and to r:? **irerify their quotations." Its authorship as :7>'gjfrea above is now questioned in the literary world. . I am old and blind! Men jxwnt at me as smitten by God's - frown j .Afflicted and deserted of my kind, Yet am I not cast down. l am weak, yet strong: ? linnrmar not that I no longer see; ' Poor, bid, and helpless, I the more be long, Father Supreme, to Thee. . 0 merciful One! When men are farthest, then art Thon most ':^:V^:V near; When friends pass by, my weakness to \ shun, . * Thy chaiiot I hear. Thy glorious face fit leaning towards me and its holy light Shaoesin upon my loaely dwelling-place.? And shere is no more night On my bended knee, - I recognize Thy purpose, dearly shown; My vision Thou hast dimmed, that I may see Thyself?Thyself Alone. " T I. have naught to fear; ; This darkness is the shadow of Thy wing* Beneath if i am almost sacred,?here Can oeme tfo evil thrag. Oh, I seem to stand _/Trembling, wheve'ftrt of mortal ne'er hath been, Wrapped in the radiance of Thy Sinless hand Which eye hath never seen. Visions come and go,? 'Shapes of resplendent beauty sound 'me throng; -iFrom angel lips I seem to hear the flow Of soft and holy song. ^It-is nothing now,? When heaven is ripening -oa my sightless eyes,* When airs from Paradise refresh my hrow, That earth in darkness lies. la a purer -clime, My being fills rapture,?waves of thought upon nay spirit,?strains sublime Break over me unsought. /v^^ Give me now my lyre I I feel the stirrings of a gift divine:; Within my bosom glows unearthly fire, * Lit by no skill of mine. ? The Sabbath of the Old Testa-11 ment. J1 i 1 m GROUNDS AND 51ETH0D OF IXTOUSSCE. Moses attributes the crowning act of fGod in the making of man, to the sixth <lay, m the order of creation., thus mak ing the seventh the first fall day of his existence; and as tire seventh was cho sen for the sabbath, it is coeval with -man. "Whatever period of $isie may be covered by the word "day" ?a the Mo saic account ef the creation, is immate rial to this discussion, since it, is clear that the sacred.sritor'uses the period represented Vy a "day," having a defi nite begi?R?g and end, "an evening and a morning," as a symbolism to rep resent the periods of the divine labor and rest; and so it is immaterial to this discussion, whether tfcc symbol were clothed in the oostnme of the literal or not. In any-case the word "day" is a iman term under which the sublime my9tery^of divine work, and cessation 4herefrom,-is couched. "AndjGrod blessed the sev^?^a^v^ffd^'s?nctified it; because that in it ha had rested from -all i^a work which God created.*' Then the first Sabbath dawned upon -our-earth before it was blighted by the 'Curse; and oa its peaceful morning, Adam awoke from his first eight's re pose to celebrate the wisdom and power of God, as they burst upon his soul from this wonderful universe, with his first sunrise Phidias, the renowned sculp lot, so intertwined his own name with the carious work on the shield of Mi nerva, over the portico of the Acropolis of Athens, that it could not be cut away without destroying his whole work. . In like manner the eye of man read the ? signature of the great Architect every- ' where, when the sun flooded the new creation with glory, and before a mus cle of his body was toil worn, or a facul ty of his soul clouded by sin. The whole creation was to him Jehovah's infinite argument, that he was man's Maker. Thus the Adamtc Sabbath was generic, was made for man ia his indi viduality as maD; for no social or na tional relations then existed. It. was to work out for him both conviction an -1 joy, even in his ianocency. The first purpose of the primeval Sabbath, then, was the commemoration of Jehovah's creative attributes, a standing monu ment of that great monotheism which underlies both human responsibility and divine revelaticr. This purpose of the Sabbath was infinitely worthy of its Founder; for, when "the heavens and j 0 the earth were finished, and all the host j 5 of them," it stood an eternal protest j against every possible form of i materialism, pantheism, and atbe- j ism. The first Sabbath com rein on ded j C man to stand still, while the "heavens" j I declared to him the glory of God, and the firmament" showed "forth his han diwork." It challenged, "Why look - est thou so earnestly on us, as though by our own power we had made our- j ? selves? Jehovah is the maker of us 0 all." The first Sabbath attested to ^man that the world was not its own ere- ; ator, that an unbridgeable gulf stretch- j S es between unconscious things and the ! ? living God, between divine volitions and j li the eternity of matter. Its mute elo- t quence witnessed for God, then as now, g and barred out all idea of pagan-adora- ; s tion to strange gods and all worship of! o nature, by claiming man's first homage j ii fb* the Creator of heaven and earth.? j Rev. Tkos. Jjrmitage, D. I)., in Sab-l Ibath Essays. ! t The Waiting Mother. Of the terrible disaster which hap pened on tho first of April 1873, I sup pose you have all read; how a great steamer struck at night on the rocks off Halifax, and carried down to a watery burial some six hundred people. Maoy bodies have been found and identified, but many more will never be seen again until the sea gives up its dead. Among the numbers marked "miss ing" is the son of a widow who lives \\y Detroit. She still clings fondly 10 the hope that her Willie will yet come back to her. The papers have never . told her that he was lost." and she feels that by some means he s was saved. Every day she sets his plate on the table, that all may tje in readiness if he should ar rive; and every week she searches the papers for tidings from the sea. "I havn't heard from Willie yet," she says in answer to the neighbors' queries, "but I hope I shall this week." How long her faith will hold out we cannot tell; but doubtless for years to come she will be an anxious watcher. A sudden knock at her koor will make her start, and her heart throb quick; and when the door opens she will al most unconsciously look for Willie to come in. 0, how many mothers are watching, hoping and prayiug for their boys to come back ! boys who are wrecked al most as hopelessly and fearfully as were the passengers of the Atlantic?wreck ed on land, in the fearful dram-shops that destroy more bodies and souls than the most cruel reefs on our coasts! but a mother never forgets them. Said xn a?ed mother to me of her in tern per lte son, now a gray-haired man, "There isn't an hour in the day that my poor boy is out of my mind." And the bit ier tears coursed down her furrowed sbeeks. His wife aod brothers had jast him off, bat his mother's heart ;lung to him still with all a mother's ove. O, how can a son slight such love 1 Flow can he resist a mother's pleadings ? fne hour will come when its memory will sting like a viper, but* often when t is too late to make reparation for past ?eglect and unkindoess. The Drunkard's Despair. Sev. J. J. Talbot, an Episcopal dergyman who was expelled from his liocese for intemperance, has reformed. Recently he made a temperance speech u Terra Haute, Indiana, from which we take the following "words that rare:" For five days and nights I lay at the *ates of-hell. But He was pleased to Irag me forth from the presence of the >aosts with whom I held such awful xmverse. I can now survey the field rad measure the losses. The prime of ny life was wasted. I had a high >f&ce and an unspotted character. This lemon of wine dragged me down, and .he drunkard's life was mine. I had Deans but my riches fled. I had a i>eautiful home, but the demon entered, ind the light faded from, the walls. 1 iad beautiful children, but this mon ster took their dimpled hands in his, and led them "to the grave. I had a wife whom to know was to ove. To-night she sits in misery, while I wander restless over the earth. [ had a mother whose chief pride was ny life, but the thunderbolt struck her oo. Years of work in the cause of the ight mav give back to these arms my oving wife. But, oh ! when I clasp in mother world, the hand of my mott^ex^L ind thus I stood, and/*tn"us 1 stand to lay, a husband without a wife, a father vithout a child?-all swallowed up in he fearful mcelstrom of drink. I stand with scarce a friend on earth. ?o, drink of that bitter cup, and then isk me if 1 can paint in too high colors he picture of my despair?ask me if I late the agent of my ruin. Hate it! T late the whole damning triffic! I vould to God that every distillery in his nation was in flames. I would vrite on the glowing sky in letters black ls their smoke: "Woe, woe to him hat putteth the bottle to his neighbor's _ ?> ips. No Sabbath. In a prize essay on the Sabbath, written by a journeyman' printer in Scotland, there occurs the following >assage. Bead it, then reflect for a vhile what a dreary and de6 te page eould this life present if the Sabbath rere blotted out from our civilization: "Yoke fellow! think how the ab traction of the Sabbath would hope essly enslave the working classes with rhom we are identified. Think of la >or thus going on in one monotonous ycle, limbs straining, the brow forever >o the rack, the fingers forever strain ng, the brow forever sweating, the feet brever plodding, the brain forever hrobbinjr, the shoulders forever droop og, the loins forever aching, the rest ess mind forever scheming. Think of he beauty it would efface, the merry- j ieartedness it would extinguish, of the ;iant strength it would tame, of there- j ources of nature V: would crush, of the j ickness it would breed, of the projects'! b would wreck, of thf ^roacs it would xtort. of the lives it would immolate, ! ,nd of the cheerless graves it would pre- j naturely dig ! See them toiling and j aoiling. swr-ating and fretting, grind- j ng and hewing, weaving and spinning, j owing and gathering, mowing and j eaping, raising and building, digging j nd planting, striving and struggling ; n the garden and in the field, iu the Tanary and in the barn, in the factory j od in the mill, in the warehouse ai d j o the shop, on the mountain and in | he ditch, on the roadside and iu the j Food, in the city and in the country, I at at sea and on the shore, in the da}s j f brightness and of gloom. Wbot aj icture would the world present if we j ad no sabbaih V* i "God's Church, God's Book, and! iod's Day are the three pillars of: Lmerican society. Without them, it aust go the way of all fiesh. and God j fill raise up some other nation or con- j inent to carry on his desigos; but with j hem, it will contiuue to prosper, not- j ,-ilbstanding all hindrances from with- j ut and within."?Rev. Dr. Scliojf. i While three boys were rowing on the ! ?chuylkiH Kiver, at Heading, Pa., Sunday evening, some one threw a I ighted cigar in the water, which was j bickly covered with benzine from the j ;as works. The boys were almost iu- j tantly enveloped in flames and jumped j verboard. All of them escaped drown- ' ug, but were severely burned. A good temper generally comes from j borough breaking and discipline. I How to Apply the Soda Rem edy in Burns and Scalds. It is now many years ago (see the London Medical Gazette of March, 1844) that the author of this paper, while engaged in some investigation as to the qualities and effects of the alka lies in inflammations of the skin, etc., was fortunate enough to discover that a saline lotion, or saturated solution of the bicarbonated soda in either plain water or camphorated water, if applied speedily, or as soon as possible, to a burned or scalded part, was most effect ual in immediately relieving the acute burning pain; and when the. burn was only superficial, or not severe, remov ing all pain in the course of a very short time; having also the very great advantage of cleanliness, and, if applied at once, of preventing the usual conse quences?a painful blistering of the skin, separation of the epidermis, and perhaps more or less of suppuration. For this purpose, all that is necessary is to cut a piece of lint, or old soft rag, or even thick blotting paper, of a size suffcient to cover the burned or scalded parts, and to keep it constantly' well wetted with the sodiac lotion as to pre vent its drying. By this means, it usually happens that all pain ceases in from a quarter to half an hour, or even in much less time. When the main part of a limb, such as the hand and forearm or the foot and leg, has been burned, it is best when practicable, to plunge the part at once into a jug, Or pail, or other convenient vessel filled with the soda lotion, and keep it there until the pain subsides; or the limb may be swathed or encircled with a surgeon's cotton bandage previ ously soaked in the saturated solution, and kept constantly wetted with it, the reliei' being usually immediate, provid ed the solution be saturated and cold. What is now usually sold as carbon ate of soda is what I have commonly nsed and recommended: although this is well known to vary in quality ac cording to where it is manufactured? but it will be found to answer the pur pose," although probably Howard's is most to be depended on, the common carbonate being too caustic. It is be lieved that a" large proportion of medi cal practitioners are still unaware of the remarkablo qualities of this easily ap plied remedy, which recommends itself Tor obvious reasons.?F.
