WHEN GOD AT FIRST CREATED MAN.

1Y JUDGY JOHN £ x‘xn’oo‘nuxuvuu‘. IND.

When God at first created man, * 'The earth ind all the skies above, He stamped upon His mighty plan , The emblem and the sign of love.

To beasts which roam the-mountain’s range - He gave the verdant vales below; = 7 The polar be ar; who knows no change, e plaged amidst the ice and snow.

The birds he poised on ambient air. The swallow swift, the eagle bold, And clothed with down the cider hare ‘To shield it from the winter’s cold.

To fish assigned the ocean’s wave, - The silver lake and crystal stream, And bade their waters gently lave Their barren banks till fresh and green,

To man He gave the nobler power, The lofty thought, the godlike will, And erowned him lord in Eden’s bower Of lowest vale and highest hill. - -

‘And day by day their needful food 2 They gathered from a thoneand stores. From verdant fields and branching wood, - From ocean’s wild and stormy shores. But oxs thelr drink—(ho lmpid &pring, 7 -The pearly dew ‘which falls at night, ~ The stream which cools the swallow’s wing, ' When heated in its rapid flight. :

"Twas all he gave for man or beast, ~'But from a thousand foonts it came,: Tocool the brow and quench the thirst, ~ Or fever’s wild and burning flame.

From flinty rocks the waters gushed, Pure as the'diamond’s sparkling ray, And from the hills in torrents rushed. The cryrtal streamlet on its way.

And from the depths of ocean’s cave ! The bubbling soring did upward flow, And with its cooling waters lave ot The banks which seem’d with fire to ¢low.

Thus man from nature’s bounteous hand Procures alone this priceless gold, 3 Which flpws so free in every:land, In’'summer’s heat or winter’s cold —

That all may drink its sacred stream, And be as man in Eden’s grove, . When rising from life’s earliest dream, And live again the life of love.

Then be a man in heart and will— ) Stand upifor right and spurn the howl; - And crush the demon of the still, Whose breath destroys both sense and soul,

The Importance of Evangelizing the . : United States. Epitome of a Sermon Delivered by Rev. A. K. Mahin, February 3d, 18?8. g Deut. xx;fvm-i—“A'n&—it—;hall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voicefof the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command theg this day, that the Lord thy God yill set thee on high above all nations of the earth.” ' . The theme suggested by this text is, the tmportance of evangelizing this country. : gt . 1. As shown by our geographical area —Exclusive of Alaska we have an area of 8,026,494 square miles.— With a population one-half as dense as the plain of China we would have 1,275,000,000 of people, or -about as many as inkabit the entire carth at the . present time. Including Alaska our: national -area is ‘but 200,000 Square. miles less than that of all Europe, It is written that when “the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son,” and it would seem as if when “the fulness of the time had come” God allowed this continent to be discovereJ that here might be founded a great christian nation. Superstition and Mohammedanism covered Asia, Africa, and the isles of the sea; the industry, and thought, and morals of Europe were paralized by Romanism, and her people crushed to earth by ecclesiastical misrule and governmental tyranny, when America is discovered, and thither the oppressed seekers after civil and religious liberty flee and fird a home. e 2.. The importance of evangelizing : our country is shown in the second place by the marvelous increase of our population, Beginning with 1790 our population. has more than doubled every thirty years. In 1870 it was in | round numbers 38,500,000. Suppose that in the future it should double every thirty years. We would then have, in 1900, 77,000,000 ; in 1930, 154,000,000, and in 1960, 308,000,000. On this supposition, if your babe lives to be thir- ] ty-five and has a child born to it, and that child lives to be fifty years of age, it will see the population of tifis country greater than the present population of all Europe. Ido not unqualifiedly affirm that such will be the case, but this supposition is based upon the actual faets of the ‘past. What a’ mighty nation there would be if Russia, and Germany, and Austria, and Italy, and France, aud Spain, and England were all united in one nation, -speaking one language, and all equally interested in preserving the histerical glory of that nation. Butours may be even greater before the close of anothercentesy, '« .0 i When such time comes, and come it must if the nation strengthens as it grows, the character, customs, habits, and religious belief of this nation will 'ge far towards molding those of all other nations. It depends upon us to ‘say what shall be the character, customs, habits, and religious beliefs of ;thé_ ‘pedp{ﬁ_vi.otts€hig§fquntry‘utﬂid?ﬁmﬂ.= {that is of our grand-chitidren. - Weafe. ‘building, not only for the future of our own nation, but for the future of the. ‘whole world. Tow true that“no man_ liveth unto himself.” Indeed wemay. wn@mm s of the gospel in the whole world, that s, the salvation of the woild, depends upon the Chrisi o iha okl o o bl i of such a nation as 8 will gimﬁmw St arein be bt o aebaiin,) | s eusonicuiit ahe g olbdk 6bk ninsi it S ks wilah ks R wm;"#ﬂ‘”séé\@wwﬁa“iwl@ sdrepts e e e,

‘ucated classes. But not only are the great mass of the blacks of the South ‘in ignorance, but lam informed that /15 per cent. of the white male adults ‘of the South can neither read nor - write, while in the great cities of the North we haye a vast mass of ignorant people. ‘Men endowed with the right of suffrage, and yet unable to read their ballots, and almost as ignorant of the constitution and genius | of our country as a new ‘born babe.— No nation of Edrope would allow a man wlio could neither read nor write to sit upon-its throne; yet we place the scepter of royalty in the hands of. millions of such men. This is not as it should be. I believe that a great wrong. was done to the colored race, and great damage inflicted uvoa the nation by clothing that race with the right of suffrage at the time it was done.. And I believe that an egual wrong -is done to individuals, and" (_equal harm sustained by thg nation, by allowing white people to grow up in ignorance and then exercise the right of suffrage. g But this state of things exists and the question 13 not so much, how came it all about? as, how shall danger be averted ? - When a building is on fire, we do not stop to reason about the-or-igin of the fire, but go to work to save the inmates and contents. So should we do in this case. If our country is ever destroyed it will be by the masses of our uneducated and of our vicious fellow citizens led by designing demagogues. The perpetuity of our civil and religiousliberties is menaced g 0 long as ignorance wields the scepter of royalty, and vice holds high carnival in our midst. These masses must be enlightened and christianized be‘Tore we are safe. ¢

And in addition, Rationalists are being poured upon our Eastern shores, .and Pagans upon our Western. It seems as if the Almighty,after giving us the grandest country and greatest opportunities of any nation in the world, was now trying us *“as silver is tried in ths fire” to see whether we are worthy of our high position. But the fact that these people are coming to our shores 18 really cause for rejoicing. We may send converted Japanese back to evangelize Japan, converted Chinamen back to evangelize China, converted Africans back to evangelize Africa, and converted Rationalists back to assist their brethren evangelize the Rationalistic por< tion of Europe. . : 3. In the third place,the importance of evangelizing our country is shown | by the marvelous increase. of our national wealth, : It is said that the official census ‘shows'that in 1850 the amount of our property, real and personal, was $7,000,000,000 ; in 1860, $16,000,000; and in 1870, $30,000,000,000. At this rate | of increase wealth and luxury will overwhelm us unless our wealth be turned in proper channels by the prevalence of christian liberality. It is true that since 1873 there has been a great shrinkage of values, but thebottom will be reached ere long, and the scale turn the other way. But you say, none of s are in any danger of being harmed by wealth. Perhaps not. But then, the wealthy men of the next generation will be the sons of the poor men of this generation, which fact should teach us ‘the impor. tance of rich and poor alike being trained to christian liberality. Itis perhaps true that our benevolent enterprises suffer as much or more from failure to receive the small contributions of the ‘many, as from lack of large ones by the rich. Persons too often act as thongh they could do nothing because unable to do a great deal. We should remember that Christ has forever consecrated in the memory of the church the widow’s “two mites.” It was among the poor and lowly that the foundations of christianity were first laid; and by way-side preaching, by neighbor speaking to ueighbor, by upper room gatherings and household churches, by “they that were scattered. abroad -going everywhere -preaching | the word,” it moved on until the im_perial heathenism of Rome was swept away. And if by the labor, toil, and liberality of the church to-day we can pervade this land with the spirit of christian liberality, and thus haveour aver increasing wealth consecrated to the elevation of humanity and the _cause of God—which are one,—whata _grand triumph we will achieve. This leads us to the concluding thought, The demands of the howr. . - © There must be greater willinguess ‘to make personal sacrifices for the salvation of humanity. - There are times when every thing must be subordinated to one purpose and object. Such a time was the revolution and the war against the rebellior ; and such a time s the present in the histoty of the e centrated. intemporance, and fgnore, vice ofou gt itin, ond of the South, and of the endless rmi: o ok counes, e prsat 5 Hony hedlig) B Gt Dit A e R gﬁﬁﬁéw@?%@% PRI vy R (TR U IREERE T e

Note.—Ecletric—Selected and Electrized. ————e OE— i — A Monstrosity. Cincinnatt Commércial. : One of the most remarkable instances on record of parental devotion and of success in keeping secref ia family affliction may be found in the family of a citizen who is keeping a drinking saloon in the western part of the city. Twenty-seven years ago he kept a house on,Western Row. About that time a number of houses in the vicinity were destroyed by fire at night, in-: cluding his residence. His wife, in a delicate condition, suffered much from fright and subsequently gave birth-to a monstrosity—an offspring without any of the better senses of a living creature, except that of sight—without toes or fingers; deaf, speechless, without the least spark of intellect or instinet. Twenty-seyen years have passed, and the family have kept this creature in the household, secret in a room, and only a few of the neigh‘bors besides, who are on the most intimate relations, have known of its existence.

It crawls about some, but moves with great difficulty. That such a creature has lived so long is singular.

CUTTING OFF LAMBS® TAILS~--A writer in the New England Farmer _objects to the practice of cutting off the tails of lambs, and gives.the following reasons for this belief: *First, it is a barbarous treatment to a little, tender lamb; it also weakens the constitation by taking from it a portion of the spine and backbone. Sécond, it deprives them of what nature has wisely given them to protect tender parts from the scorching rays of the sun and which prevents those parts from becoming sore and scabby ; it al--8o deprives them of the means of brush-. ing flies and all annoying insects from those parts and legs; but as a matter of economy, there is a loss in the amount of wool. My shearer told me he would shear any flock of sheep for what wool was on the tail up to where it is wusually cut off, which would amount to about ten cents, the price of ¢ about Qn&f‘:u;iﬂl of a pound of wool, which is really quite a per cent. 3 & LT U e Sy SE R O AGoitleHmt, ~ln your style of climate, with its sudden changes of temperature,—-rain, wind and sunshine often intermingled dn g Eepa is'n % our children, friends and MG so frequently take m% om us by neg- | T vavant serlatg dlab s T 0 o B i i B riient A ol o AV A 8 Y fxu‘,«:%:’; .

‘Demeonetization and its Fruits--What New York Graphie. . La .To read the report of the special committee of bankers and brokers one would suppose that the country was inanexceedingly prosperous condition, Ordinary persons are under the impression that since-the panic of 1873 the eountry has steadily gone from bad to worse. The silver dollar was demonetized in February, 1873, and in the November following came the crash. Since that timé two-thirds of -the business men of the country have failed. We have distress among the ‘working classes culminating in riots; -we have had a shrinkage in values, a breakdown in our railroad system and, in fact, have been visifed by every form of business and financial embarrassment. This committee sums up some of the pleasanter features of the sitnation, but carefully avoids giving any hint of the other side of the picture. s

. Now it is undoubtedly true that through these years of distress a large class of persons have been making more money than ever. Those who had unencumbered capital have been able to purchase houses, lands, ships, manufactures and other evidences of wealth at from one-third to one-half the sum they would have cost before the- silver dollar was demonetized. Persons in receipt of regular incomes have had them made more valuable by the artificial enhancement of the unit of value. The rich have been made much richer, while the vast mass of the community have been distressed by the necessity imposed upon them of paying their debts in a.currency much more costly than that in which the ob&gat_io‘_ns were contracted. Of course,incidentally some good has resulted from the afflictiors which’ the country has experienced. We have got rid of inflated values -no smail gain--and adversity has shown the weak places in our industrial enterprises. Fraudulent 'practices have been disclosed, dishonest trustees of public funds shown up in their true colors, and the result will be a more honest management of fiduciary trusts in the future. 3

But all this has been a terrible cost, and if the banking interests and the creditor interests are strongenough to prevent the remonetization of silver, and to keep the promise of resumption in gold in January, 1879, the worst is yet to come, and the year ahead of us. will be a most disastrous one. ILast year wenf out under a cloud of revelations of rottenness in Wall street operations; the present year begins still more gloomy with failures and premonitions of failures on allisidesy; it is known that our national banks—or a great many of them, at least—arein a bad condition; it is known that we are threatened with disasters on every. side, and yet these representatives of great wealth—these money lenders and capitalists—insist that the work of ruin shall go on so that they can continue to purchase with their surplus‘means houses and lands and properties at less than one-half their former value.. °= : »It is to be seen which is the more powerful of the two —the creditor interests, represented by a few great banks, or the debtor and productive interests which affect the great mass of the community. We should not lose sight of the fact that during the paper money era we contracted ddbts amounting, it is estimated, to slo,ogo,— 000,000. The creditors demand that these debts shall be paid in gold, which, sire> the .creation of the obligation, has been enormously enhanced in valua by the demonetization of silver. This is the real question before the country, and it is for Congress and the President to say whether the debts shall: be paid as per contract—that is, in silver and gold —or in gold alone, which the contract does not call for.

They' Uphold no Wrong, but only Stand T hythe Right, .- - i From the Dover Delawarean. =~ .= =+ The position of the democratic par-. ty towards the Hayes saﬂ‘miiiism§on’ seems not to be fully understood by Republicane. It ought not, however; to be misunderstood. We believeand know that Hayed is not in the office by virtue of an election by the people, and that he was counted in by fraud palpable and unmistakable, That the fraud taints his title to the office, and. that the entire Republican party of the country is responsible for the great wrong which ean neither be condoned 1 or forgotten. He is the receiver of the stolen Presidency, and his party 1s the thief that committed the crime.. With this knowledge and conviectionfixed indelibly in ‘the mind of every Democrat in the eountry, they have neither sought to oust him from the office, nor hinder him in the discharge of the duties it imposes, bit have; on the contrary, as a party, aided him, as-

a general rule, in every act.designed ‘and calcalated to advance theinterests of the country. This has been done from a sense of duty to the country, ‘and not from any consideration for Hayes, or from any desire to coneiliate his favor. We want to see him do right, and are wilhng to aid himi in doing so; but the Democracy will oppose every act of his administration thatisin conflict with the public weal. He is a political foundling, abandoned by his progenitors, but.the Democracy will not adopt him, nor suffer him to be left at their door, In acceptingthe office, conferred by fraud, he donea great wrong -to the country and ‘its government, but he is not' more eriminal than the men: who placed him where he is. He has disappointed their wishes in some things, and they now seem disposed to abandon him. Verily, they have their reward, and. both he and they are finding out that “The way of the transgressor is hard.”

An Open Letter. olt Speaks for_ Itself. ‘ROCKPORT, Mass.. April 2,77,

Mgr. EpITOR :(—Having read in your paper reports of the remarkable cure of catarrh, I am induced to tell “what 1 know about catarrh,” and I faney the “snuff” and “inhaling-tube” makers (mere dollar grabbers) would be. glad if they could emblazon a similar cure in the papers. For 26 years I suffered with catarrh. - The nasal passages became completely closed,— “Snuff,” “dust,” *“ashes,” “inhalingtubes,” and “sticks,” woulda’t work,. though at intervals I would sniff up the so-called catarrh snuff, until I became a valuable tester for such medicines. I gradually grew worse, and no one can know how much Isuffered or what a miserable being I was, My head ached over my- eyes 8o that I was confined to my bed for many successive days, suffering the most intense pain, which at one time lasted continuously for 168 hours. - All sense of smell and taste gone,sight and hearing impaired, shrunken and weakened, nervous system shattered, and constitution broken,.and I was hawking and spitting seven-eighths of the time., I prayed for death to relieve me of my suffering. A: favorable notice in your paper of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy induced me to purchase a package, and use it with Dr. Pierce’s: Nasal Douche, which applies the remedy by hydrostatic -pressure, 'the only way compatible with common sense.— Well, Mr. Editor, it did not ctre me in three-fourths of a second, nor in onehouror month,butin less than eightminutes I was relieved, and in three months entirely cured, and have remained so for over sixteen months.— While using-the Catarrh Remedﬁ, I used Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery to purify my blood and strengthen my stomach. I also kept my liver active and bowels regular by the use of his Pleasant Purgdtive PelJets.. If my experience will induce other sufferers to seek thesame means of relief, this letter will have answered its purpose.. Yours truly, - Crcs S REMICK:

“The Sinking of the “Mefropolis.” - J Editorial in thie Chicago Post.’ i ‘ The Metropolis was,unquestionably, an overloaded boat, both as to passengers and freight. In freight she ex~ ceeded her proper overplus of tonnage burthen, every ounce of which was an element of danger in danger, and that freight was of ‘a bazardouß character for a passenger steamer. She was _fitted up to carry fifty cabin and one hundred and sixty-fivesteerage passengers, or two hundred and fifteen in all, but she carried ‘at least. two hundred: and sixty persons, and some accounts; place the number at over three hundred. Now that the accident has bappened, we are informed .that the boat was - unsafe, and that the Seaboard Road of Virginia canceléd a charter with her owners, because slig was unseaworthy and worthless; and one of the saved men confirms this assertion ‘of worthlessness, and declares {hat the ’vessel-was run ashore because that unseaworthiness made it death to keep at sea with a leak in' her hull,. The quick and utter annibilation of the boat itself, after striking ‘the beach, proves that she was not built to hold together. The Government is guilty because this ovércrowded and overloaded vessel: was allowed to proceed: tojsea when the customs officers raust, or ought to have known, that her voy‘age was, under the circumstances, the ‘inception of a. crime, her human | freight being ignorant, of course, of the fact_that they were going to sea. in a coffin.
