I take tluB method of calling your Ait ention to the 9»I«brtted Body and Luiig
Brace, which I have sold for the lact e!ght«en years, that I may make it benefit to my paper by making it a far greater benefit to you.
I will briefly give yon my r ^ n a for recommending thlK invaluable article to you. Mere than elgbteeu ye rv ago, T vrai thoroughly broken down in voict> from excewivo preaching; I could Bj)«ftk but a little while without getting hoarw;; my throat was generally sore, and eaaily irritated, and its tone became heavy and huiiky; Roon a hacking cough net in, that increased, until at the clone of n long meeting, my voice failed entirely, under the effecta of a chronic laryngitis that Boon su|>erindut«d bronchitis, which »eri-oualy <.hreatenpd my life. I was now compelled to deaiat from prcaching, and, i( nostdble, overcome those difficulties, ana rccover the lost treasure, — the voice, that to a minister is more valuable than gold or jewels, or be silent forever. I applied to the most eminent physicians, and was but little helped; save the ex-cisioa of an elongated ovula, they could do nothing but advise rest f and this I was compelled to take. What caused and continued that constant irritation and hacking cough, they could neither explain nor prevent. Providence threw the remedy in my way. My wifo was sufiering from prolapsus uteri, aiod the profeeeor of the theory and practice oj medicine in the University of Nashville was her physician, and he prei»crib^ for her this identical Bracc, which speedily Wlito*vvl h " 8he complained qff a drag-ging down and no laqgtisge bet (er expran my feeling- andt tipedally •iUr p k ^ i n g .

rience of more than one thousand minis-tera uma whom I have fitted the Brsee with uivariable aDqceea, I am prepared to testify of ito real merita. Without it, 1 itm aatisfied I should have been laid aside ftom public spealdng eighteen years ago. By using it, ihave rally rocev<^ a lost voice, and am blessed with one of un-common pcwc; i w endurance. With> out it, two or three sermons exhaust and give mo the seqse of fiit^ue, and leave me with a heavy, husky voice; with it, I can speak hours a day without pxhau,% tiun or hoareeness. I now use it only when Hjijeakinr, and thus preserve my voice and and physical energies. T do not believe that any one would ever bo afflicted with /lentla, or pilen, or weakness of the back or loins, should ho wear it ordinarily loosa, and only tight when s|)caking or putting forth unusual eflbrts. It is a preserver ol a pKxl voice and of n sound physicial condition. It should lie worn by every minister to carry the ener-gy aud vigor of his youth (ar into old "ge.
Labor in protracted meetiugs is what prostrates and useH up so many ministers in voice and strength, and lays the foundation of premature decay.
Tliis invaluable article I am prepared to place within the r ach of every H«|)-tist minister of the Bouth, and when he has worn it one month, or throuKh one meeting, he will evermore be grateful to me.
One thousand ministers and brethren and sisters bear united testimony to the fact that this lirace is a scientifio iShoul-4er and Lung Brace; that it supports the back, abdomen, stomach, lunm: prevents lassitude, hoarBencse, piles, Tiernia, con-sumption; increases the breathing capac-ity; gives strength to the body; increases the vital powers; expandf and enlarges the lunra; renders oreathing free aud easy; relieves chronic costiveness; it is used by singers, lawyers, laborers, and is a siwclfic for all cases of pnlnptu* of tiie bmixli in males or tcomb in females. It relieve^when all other means .fail; it will last a lifetime; it benefits in every case. Whoever does not, every minister and

I would now express —as well as words may—-my mtltudo for the Brace, and especially tea your «ncn>U8ottr of it to weakly females, for it has restored to health her whom 1 had almost given up aa an invalid for life. Sht b^fon to tntinwt immediaUli after putting it on; 6<>ia ahe felt restoret: and stiengtfi«aed.

Not that they were unaccustomed to beauti-ful rhetorie, tliw-ouming wlmlom profound and thoughtw tlivine; for they were. The mightiest men in the whole world of philosophy, oratory ami Mong were lM»rn on their soil; and their immortal works remaiUHl. n heritage common to all. The «>xceilencieH of speech and of human wMoni of their Illustrious fatliers were impcriahaWe monu-meut» of genius and learning in th< jrtjfct desert of ignonince, standing out with iiupodng aud so i l® ' grantieur in the history of th« world's lite*ur<» ivs prominently as a giant oak on the iMJsom of a desolate prairie, or a great rot-k in a weary litml. He did not come among them with plainness of sjKwh because his own soul hutl not Ijeen educatetl to tfoneelve, and his tongue to ar-ticulate, excellent vvord.s of rhetorical Anisli and jM!autiful How. No: for, in addition to Iteing verstHl in tho Iwning of the Greeks, he had long sat at the feet of Oamaliel, and, with him m a guide, traveteed the broad fields, and explored the rich min«, of Babblnlcal lore.. Nor did he re-fuse (he excdiency of speech and of man's wlMom in his dl^couw^e to them bet-ause his theme \ya8 mean, and could not Inspire. Certainly not; for his subjecst waf worthy of the most beautiful d r ^ , the most brUIhint oratory, the most elegant diction, the most soul-stlrrlng eloquence that eVer grawMl hlHtorlan's narrative, patriot's theme or poet's song. - , i
He did not come to tliom with a 7tew phi{oimj>/w, unfolding it in nccumte analyHls and a studied dlcUoii, and embellishing it with the highest at-taimuentji known lo the art. The Corinthians wereuccHstomwl to listening to just Kuch traveling oratow and would-be philosophern. But ho had a divine philosophy, tho num and substance of all philtwophy,—the answer to all the questions of heart and mind tliat concern the mmimim bomm of the racf of man. He knew it well; and, lest they should suppose tlmt his mission among them was nothing more thnn an e f f o r t to pGpularl/.e a theory, thecreaiion of hi.s own brain, he dracends from the plane of the noisy bombast, and preaches Christ to the hwirts and con.st lenti>« of the i)e<»ple.
" i determinwl not to know ijnything imiong ypu, save Jesus Christ and him crucified."
Olwerve, my brethren,— 1. This pajwage does not mean to teach, — 1. That the minister nutst not know anything,
except the doctrine of saivatioii through the mediation of Christ.
In comiiion with a thoasjvnd other {wssages, it fetiches that the minister should not l>e ignorant of that doctrine; but it do«« not teach that lie may not know anything clst». Some ^ v e b ^ n tempte<l to force uiion this pa-ssagesuch an absp l construction. For, say they, does n<)t the ftppi^tle say, hi plain word.s, that , he determined not to know anything, save Jesus Christ und him cruci-fied? nothing 1.S plainer. Such lnt«'ri)reter8 surdy luive not the least apprehension of the meaniitf} rtf, the passage and the connection in which ItstrfmU. The apostle simply declares a fhcl; viz., lietore ftii^, entered upon his missionary work in foreiafn G|»tir, tile cities, he felt the neeeaity of making shaqj the dlsUnction between hlnuself and the concelfed travehng oratore and lefiturers of the i)eri6dj whose only object was lo make for themselve^ a reputation. Paul had no new topic of vain siJtei'u-latlon; he had no self-interest at stake; hlHtaiaslon was not to mjike a reputation; he refused long ago to employ his noble energies in such a work; he might, ere this, have l)oen the foremost man of Uie nation, rcspected, honored, obeyed.
Thh< passage, therefore, does not aim to fix bounds to the attalnmenta of tho Christian minis-try. And besides, every one ought to know that such were unreasonable, since there is no pW)-f««ion that makes sucli rwiulrements, so many, so varied, so comnion-phwe, so rare, so slngtilariy dUncult, as the Christian'iifiiniatry.
I observe again, this passage does not teach, 2. i;hat tlie ministry must always preach the
same thing. t " I determined not to know anything nmdng
you, save Jc»}us Christ and him crucifitKb" Is this not a grant to the minister to confine himtwlf, In his ministraUons in the pulpit tind out of the pulpit, t»i one or two cardinal doctrines of the Christhin religion? Certainly not, in all due deference to some good iiersons who honestly thliik 80. You have ijoaslbly heard of some who have entertained this vi^w. They have but one gnat line of thought: thoy interpret every passage of. Sciiptnre as tnachlng something in regard to that The tenor of their homlletlcal observaUons Is marvelously like the matter of the prayers of that brother who always, and witliout variable nesH or shadow of turning, makes the same prayer. The people are uncommonly. Inexcusably, almost hopelesBly doll In their apprehension of one or two troths; hence those truths must be held up before them In every possible shape every time ofaore ineni lu — k - r —« an opportmiity for such martytdom occuw.
iiow, brethmi, this may be true and right, but this passage doffl not so teach. It may bi' taught somewhere; but I Insist It Is not taught here. But the trutii Is, 1 seriously dotibt that It Is laught anywhere, except In the eyolatltw firom t»ip consciousness of soi^e polplt o^tors ; fo'. J " Chrlsttanity totally different ft»m e v ^ t h l n g else? No, verily: It Is a g r ^ t temple of fruth, every part of which, firom the foundation to the cap^one, sustains its own rehvtlops, is «f equal InSwrtance in Its place, and should receive Its due share of att<!ntlon. . , ' ^
I suggest onct^ mjore, that this pa.ssagc does not t<«ch,— , , .
That the minister may not us<i eh»ganl, even iM-tiutlful diction, In his d ^ u w e s on re-ligion.
True enough, I'aulsays ln with the text, that his speech and ppcjiehJng were not with iwrsuaslve words of man'« wisdom, but with tlemonstratlon of the Spirit ana that their fiilth might not stand lu the wisdom m men, but In tho iwwer of 0<h1. Bl^jhtl jrightl If oraiory, elociuence, gramV style, beautiful essays on rellgloua H U ^ ^ t likely to turn the minds of tho pi^itfe from tho matter to the manner ordtocoi^, the TOlnWer shoulil reject It with i firm reiwlve, and flee fh>m It with aU pofislblb baste. ,lf s u ^ treatment will probably charm ^tie iwople awfiy ftoni a devout admiration of Ch^^ to the ibollsb and sbiful lauding ot men, It It? a to^jrering evifi - a ftarf-ul curse. Oh that some angel of G<mI were always In the pulpit beside Uie mlnltiter I to iwr his baud uimn h i s , h ^ , and, In tImiD,dr6uch temptaUon, whlspw; to his ear, Beware, O updw shepherd! you ar?: not here, tp ptraph y,on^". but Christ and him croelfle^.'' • "
But revelation does not attempt to rey(Jtti|qnlze any law of nature. The author of irw|«latl9n Is the author of nature and all hw , Jl« on»i and all his works harmpnh?e. I t a l^w of nature that sublime themes Infpli* suliH^e pon-ci'ptlons, and that sublime (x;ncepU^onastn«g|e to invent suitable tmd contenlal expreflslfln; hence there Is no place on this earth so friend^ to chastity and sublimity pf conajptlw. wvwacy of e.xpreesion, elegantw, beauty and grandeur of diction, as the Christian pulpit.
I wish now, In the second place, by your iier-misslon,— . ,
II. To make an olwervatlon or two suggestetl by tills passagtvwbich I regard as In ft'line with Its true teaching. ..
And first, my brethren, In view dfUio new re-lations between us as pastor and people jiBt bow a8sumc<l, 1 think this text comes to us with three quite i>ertlncnt suggestions i—
1. To study our field of labon 1)0 this as we would anything Stwiy the
state of society. What in tlie puWIt' taste? What does it desire? what dots It need? We m a * do this In order tx» know how to proceed, otherwise our labor will be In vain. Paul wasart are of the clamor of the Corinthians for some new lieautlfUl thing. He could have gratified thfem, If such a courae had been compatible with their hlgh€«t Interest and his divine mission. If we amirdlng-ly find that what we desire, wmI what we have been accustomed to, are not what we need, we will not catar to that derire, n«f foUow lit the wakd of that custom, though we are spumed from ^ e t y , and driven ftom the abodos ol men. We wUl preach Christ and hlmtatoclfled, though hu-manity denounce w, and demww devour us.

1 oliscrvo tinally, this text suggest to us,-a. Tb do solid work. Ijetter solid work, or none at all. Hettor no
building than one eomimscd of unsound materials, that will fall with Its own weight, and crush those who have fled to it for safety. Bettor to look at empty pews than to yield to the desire of a large audience for entertiilnments from the pulpit morning an<l night . Better a few orderly persons —solid forces In civilization —than -scon's of sen-sation .seekers und dissljiated religionists. Better a blank church-book than pages tilled with the nanR>9 of irreligious and Impious i>ersons. If the I)eople clamor for a .sensation,—anything for a seasutioD, — let the iireacher cry out ; Everythlug befon! a senaatlon, and a sensation never. S(!n-.satlonalisih i r t h e curse of the age: away wi th It! uway with it! H e who yields to such a demand, declares thereby one of two thlng^c Either that he is unable to furnish solid, wholesome nourish-ment for the muuls and hearts of his people; or, that ho has lost faith In the power of God's word to accomplish Its divine mlaslon to re<ronclle the world to hitn.self. But, brethren, we have un-limited nnd unabat ing contideni-e in the word of eternal t ruth. W e know it will not, it csnnot, returfi unto him void; tiiat jt will accomplish that whereimto it is sent. With this assurance, we are content, and will noiselessly pnx.'<'e<l in the even tenor of our way, holding up, as God gives ability and opportunity, Christ and him crucWed for the HAlvatlon of a sinful and flying world. Amen.

A DECISION.
Suvend weeks ag(j I w as asked by a very cie\-er, (7hri.stlan-like man , if I would | iermit iiim to preach at tho Baptist church. Perhaps lie thought tha t I hiul more authori ty than th«'words of our liord, " all yti are brethren, a n d ho that would he chief must be servant of a l l , " would tlelegate even! to a minister of the gos])el. Bu t n o such idea^wus mine, because the Bible teacheo (hut all lUithority Is vested in the church ; but still 1 had isflioplniott 88 an ind iv idua l ; member, which xdight ber properly expressed oc improperly. a<> ••ording ae: I ^ i g f a t or m i g h t not be orthodox. I had kno«-n this man for bome t ime to be ar» re ligious as the mnjorlty Vif church-members scriu to be, not^vitllatundiug he did not belong to tht«
T g l B B A . P T I B T .
church, nor even to a branch of the church; but ho alike igtiured all. Still he i)raye<l very ortho-dox ; and hU flow of wonls came forth as a i^tnaun of pious devotion, wo that It made all ready to >«iy, how gfKxl he Is. This had a tendency to make many conclude, like a thoiuiand other things do which ar«' irregular or <Hjntniry to the cf)mmands of Gotl, that there wiw no reason at all for our bles.se(,l Siivior to (Sfabllsh a church, or at lea-^t, that some of the branches are Just as g(Hid; not reflecting that these are branches of the wild olive t r w of Home, uiul not brancluw <if tlie glorious olive tr<H' of Jerusalem, |ilant»'d by the Lord bim-self, all of the branches of which bring forth fruit SII inucli alike in sl/.e, color and flavor, never de \ ia t ing in the slightest degri'c, that they have been considercHl a unit for eighteen hundred ,\«-ars, I he church agaiitst which tlie gati-s of hell stmil not |iri vail. Besides set niing so gooil, and actu-ally heiug good, is any one would think who did not consider that Iw hati not oheyed the Lord in -everal comnialids, he jirufcs.sed to lie called, lie-\ olid the possihilitv ol a doubt, to preach llie|;os|«'l • if I he kingdom, and to enforce the laws of the .• oii of (Jiid. Then w hy not let him pr(".ich'.' Why not -ay, certainly, brother, I h i d y o n t i o d speed, noi with.standing 1 violate a lavs of (iod hy so doing, which is thought now-a-days lo be ol little conse<|ueuce ,' for our hreihren many of them will e \ t o | lay prea<hiiij,' much hi;:her ihaii the preaching of hishop^s, and even strive harder to plea.se tiiose who preach error than to please those w ho contend earnestly lor the faith once clelivenni to the saints. ^I'lease, Hro. (iraves, -Ive us your opinion of lay iireai^hing in your nmsl e\cellent paper.) Hut then I did not forhid h im; for the Savior said, let them alone. But I siiid to him, if the church w ill let anybody preach e.xcept a Uaptisf preacher, that is, a Bible-prepared prea-her, the only ones who are set apart to pn-ach, then they may let yon ; for you have as good a riu'lit, so far as we can judge, as any man, excepting the truly ordained : for tlumgli a f'hou-sand plejtsing, exciting, sauetinionious, attnictiiig things may be d o n e in the name of the Lord, callwl ordination, an<i approval by great ones, still if they are not the very things commamled of the I-ord, nothing at all has been done, and he is no more ordained than be was be fon ' the first hfc]> bad bwn taken; ami so all who uie not set apart awording to the commands of (iod stand upon the same platform, it matters not whether much or nothing has been rlone.
This (b^'ision, I trust, will lead all to conclude that no act is religious whieli is not in accordance with the coinniands of Ood, and lead all to con-sider very seriously the import of the Lord's .|uestion, which is still being asked in the bearing of (Christendom: " Why c.all ye me, Lord, liord, and do not the things which I say V"

Dkab Bai'TIsx: — I wish through your columns to give an account of the visit of the etlitor to this plac«, and tlie result of tho same. H e arrived hert on Thursday before tho fifth Lord's day in .Se|>-temlKT and remained four days, lecturing twice a day with great acceptiince to all with but little exception. The nuyor part of the i>eoplc iiere. are Pedobaptbts In feejlng, and heretofore many of theni have shown si disposition not to know what Baptists Iwlieve, ami why tiiey believe it, and hence many of them were greatly prejudiced to-ward Baptists, aud more especially toward Bro. (jrave.s. After It was announciKl that he was coming it was notiiing uncommon for the writer to iMiir the charge "Gravesi tes ," and such llku in.sinuations. No doubl the Pedoes fully expected to be handknl In a very rough and Insulting man-ner by Bro. Graves, hut In this they were dieuiv point^l . They.-^oon found that he was not alto-gether so Insulting and abusive as represented by many of their minis t ry . I feel quite pafe in say-ing that his visit here was a great succe.^^. This at least ib tbe unanimous decision of all the breth-r ^ w i th coa\'erBedwho were hereto bear hlto'and^'itueesUi^ result, . j lnetead of mak-ing enemies of the Pedoes, as might have been cxpected by them, he maile many warm friend.s
among them, aOtwithstandlng he showed out the groat incouslstencies nnd misconceptions^, of their dwrtrino and practice. i-
Bro. Onives certainly mjule a very ahle defence of the faith once delivered to tho sainte, nnd »i8 ably exposed the evils of huiiuin 8<K'letieettnd men made rites and ceremonies usetl as ordinances of the house of the Lord. As i»a8tor of the churcli a t this plai-e I feel that we have l)eeu fortunate indee«l in securing the lectures here. Great good has already b(>en accomplished by the visit of Hro. Craves to this place, and 1 feel hoiicful that the
iwii w ill vie5<l a bountiful harvc-st in turning ( hrisiiaiis from the error of their way and sinners from sin and Satan to tbe service of tho living < Iod 1 hope that God may .sparo him many y<'arfl to come as a defender of truth, as he has In-en for many years past, and that lie may rtalized the tnilhliilness of the wise man 's language that the " I'lithway of the just i. i as the bright imd shining light that groweth brighter than the perfed day ."

Bud. GuAVtw: —I winh in thespir i tof l o v e -love of truth and love for it— to publish In your columns a wrtain doctrine prraehetl and pnictlced here by the Meth<Klist Episi-opal church. iNow 1 wish it understood that it is not in the spirit of u sectarian bigot (hat I wi'lte, but in that spirit that makes me anxious for the success of the truth (John xviii.;»,) that denouncps (;rror. I do not know that it is tho general practice of the Method-ist l-;piscopal denomination, but i Imve heard tliree ol their ministers Invite the unregenerated to unite themselves witli the church ( .aeaning thelr's), claiming that the church was the beat placH- Ibr them to get religion, etc. I have only heard these thrcte aill for recruits and such was their inviUition and such 1 suppose to be the In-vitation of them all.
And by this method many unregeuerate are added to their number.

I cannot solve It in any other '^vay than that they, who preach such doctrine must !><• blind leaders of the blind.

"Be .yo not unequally yoktnl together with tmbellevers : for what fellowship hath righteousness wi th nn-righteousness and what communion hath light with darkness?

But if we arc to be separate from tmbfllevein we will neither go with them nor', allow them with u« in their sinful stnte, biecause we would l»e dCiillng dishonestly with God, with onrselves, and with them. Like the little boy w h o went to his neighbors to spend the night we mus t say " I caint ." The old gentleman through mischief asked him if be would sli-ep with Fldo or let Fldo-sleep with blm.

he rrietl with a loud voice " i t in liiiLslnnl," and
dismiH«e<l his Spirit, j understand that lie had
linishetl a!l the work neeensary for him to do on thi* I'art/i in eoiuiection with his Hrst advent. He

for the nHlemption of hLs jM-ople, else he niiiiht
have at onee re-asHUiiie<l the position and tjlory he

that Hnal (.•onsuiiiniation of all thint^ uiii^ht t/im have taken plaec which Faiii alludeM to in his
letter to the chun-h at Corinth:
"Theti oometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to G«h1, even the I-'ather; when he .sliall have put down all rule, and all uuthority and power.

But we know that all his work is imt linished,

Nor did he fini.sh hi.s atoniny work upon the
cross, a.s »o many teach, else he might have left his
iKxly in the grave; nor would it have l)een neces-
sary for him to have taken his own blootl and
entered into the "Most Holy Place," to api>ear
l)<-fore the mercy-seat in the heavens at the
right hand of God," that he might make atone-
ment for hiH iKHjple; nor would he need ever-
more, or until the la»l one of the " travail of his
soul" shall have bt?en gathered at the close of
time, remain a priest to make intenresslon for
hlH i)eople. Surely had Chrlst'H work ende<l with
hLs death the world would have been left without
an atonement, and no one of Adam's race would
have l)een «ived. I f thi-> state ment apiKjars
Mtmnge to the reader, I refer hint lo the tyiKj of
the atonement—the objcct lesson —plaml before
the eyes of the children of larael, found In Lev.
xvi. The animal .selected for the .sin-offering
must first be slain, and his blootl iw saved and the
iMxly burned without the cjtmp. To this T'aul re-
fers In Heb. .xUl. 11, 12 : -
"For the Inxlles of those l)ea.st«, whose blo<Kl is brought into the sanctuary by the high-priest for Hin, are burned without the cauip. wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate."
Now, luid nothing more been done than tlie killing of the ain-oflferlng, woold any atonement have been made, or sin have been put away from any oneV It waa to secure the blood, with which ato&ument alone could be made, timt the sin-offering was slain; but the killing of the animal waM certainly not making the atonement, but only a preparatory work. The manufacture of a plow with which a field is to l)e plowed 1h certain-ly not {riowing the field; and no more wah the shedding of the blood by which tlie atonement was to be made the making of the atonement The sin-oflfering had to be killed and "humwl
without the eamp j " hut tlie atonement could
nkiue be made withiti the veil, after Aiintii Imd

Hut fijose. for wlioii) Christ dieij liaN inj; liwi the
holy nature originally given to Adam tn he tran>-
niitt«Hl by natund generati<>n to his oUsprint,', and
he havinj,'corrupted it, and they luit licin^'ahje to
ent«'r the xrond time into their iiiotlier's womh
to Ih' born a strond time iri/hoiU sin, it evident
tliey were wholly unable to ine<>t this demand of
law. Whercfon- (Uirist, as the Second .\daiii, for
the satisfaction of the law in this point for them,
must need>» he made of a perfw-tly lioly, pure and
untaintetl nature, fully answerin}^ for them the
holiness and iM rftH-tion of niiture n'<niin'<l iiy tlu'
law: —
" For such a high-priest became us, w ho is /mti/, harmk'ss, undefiti'd, separate from sinnert!, anil maile higher than the hwivens." Ileh. vii. 2(1.
This holiness of Christ's nature is imputed to all
those who accept h im; and thus hi' nie<'ts the
law's demands tor all believers.
2. The second demand of law, iH iiiilili<iii.-<iiiHti of life.
It commands perfect ottedmire Irom cverv one
who would s<<e life. This Chrisf declured to the
lawyer: -
" And he answerinj? said, Thon shalt love the U)rd thy Go«l with all thy heart, and w ifh all thy soul, and with all thy'Strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighlmra-s thyself. . . . . This il'o and thou shalt live." — Luke 27,2.s.
By such a keeping of it the law is honored by
tht .subject, and if obeyed from the lieiirt, it is di*-
clareil to be holy, just and goo»l.
Hut this i)erfect slnles-s obedience the believer
can never render to law, "Since," in the language
of an old writer, " Adam had sifuandered away
their stock of ability, and left thent without
strength. They might «us soon have rea(?hed up
their hands to the sun in the firmament, so far
above them, as have attained to the perfection of
obedience demanded of them by the law. Where-
fore it was agreed that Christ should, in their
name, obey the law in that perfection, heinu made nnder the law, as they were under it (Gal. iv. I,
f>); that every action of his should lH»ar not only
on the goodness of the matter, but of the manner too, and that, in perfection, that love to Go«l and
man sltouid flame in his holy soul to the utmost
pitch required by the law, and so th»t debt, bwing
by his seed, m ^ h t be cleare<l by him acting as a
public nutn in their name."
"Tlie sinner, by hlH.lran»griwioris, hud put dis-
honor ii|M>n tiiMl's iMily law U-forc tiie eyti^ oj the
universe, and this mnsi nwd rt'oioved. ChrLTt

for he was "Z/oZ//, hariidesx, itndefifrd, and nepamh-from sinnerM." He thas ree<)gni/.e(l the law a-
" holy, jusf and giMwl," iiiagnifitHl it, and made it
iionorable in the eyes of all (Watitl intelligeneii^

Cliri-it as iiin- -.'.ilistiSilte, ami otter to tlie law /u-
ileinns disolKsiienee. Its voice, like (hat of the
trumpet of Sinai, "waving louder and louder '
upon the «>iirs of the guilty, is, "('urs«'d is «'very
one that continueth not in all tilings w ritten in
the hook of the law to do them." (Gal. lii. lo. >
This voice can never cease while man is guilty ;
and wherever in the univ«'rse he may l>e, he must
remain guilty, unless his |M'nalty Is paid by an-
other. Hy willful transgression, we had all
fallen under this I'ursi'; and it is an infinite viir^v, lus-ause the penalty of infinite law. The
penalty of law should he in proportion to the
estimati-d \alue it wa.s dwigmsl fo prott-*!.
The laws of (iixl were designed to protwt the
eternal ha]ipiiieHs and highest welfare of all hii
ci -situres in the univers*': who can estiiiiafe
tlieir value".' They were d«>!iigne<l to jiresiTve
the integrity of his government over all worhl.s,
which, if destroyed, all would he anarchy anil
ruin: who can compute the value of the di-
vine government by which that goverunienl
itself e.xists'.' The fathers of our country esttiMiKsl
one princljilo of government, i. e., the right of the
goVerneil to be repr(»sented, to 1)0 worth the liv -s
of tens of thousands, and seven long years of un-
told suffering; and all endorse their estimate as
not too high : how, then, shall we estimate the
valu(> of alf the principles by which the divine
government is conservwl?
Hut the laws of God were designed to protwi
his own character, if we may not say his own
happiness as well. ICaeh law is deslgnetl to do
this; and these are confessedly infinite v.duiic.,
and therefore the ]>enalty attached to each law of
God must Ik? an Infinite jmmlty, slnco the guilt is
infinite.
Having broken all the divine laws repeattnlly,
and for years Inieu mfwt nu.send)le transgressors,
we had all incurre<l their infinite jKinaity. C!hrLs(
sufferings and death were vicarious. He came
and offered to satisfy the law fully for each and
all the offeasesof his |)eople; and the Father ac-
ei>pted him in ourstead.

In tile fall of IH7;{ 1 held a meeting of ilays liere, w hicii resulted in great gootl; and the church l)e-;gan to build up, and the Baptists were mal<ing a favorable imprmsion on the public mind.
Up to this time, we liad made no effort to hnild a bouse of worship, but used a school-room for that puriMwe. The Methodists, in the mwin time, had built them a large and eonunodiou.-^ house of worship; ami we felt that we nee»letl a house very much, but were not able to build. The brethren became stirred up on the .subject; and
f ^ - U seemed that the ilnie had come to l»ulld, ,an<l
the subject was agitated: and the way stHjniwl to be openeil up by Divine Providence. Maj. Tillar, wiio was not a professor, and several others, not nitMuben ol our church, said to our deacon^, that if the Baiitists wished to l>uild, they were willing to help liberally; providetl they would build a V0(h1 house, but if t!i(;y built an ordinary house, they had nothing to givt. At this time, ICsip l)ish(*ugh, who had been a IJaptist years ago in Tennessee, but, at the time mentioned, was not eonnwti'd with the church, became enlisted in the cause here; and as he was merchandising here, and making money, he favored the move upon the same conditioni) suggeuted by Maj. Tillar and others; that was, to have a good house or none. Under all the surrounding circumstances, it really seemed cheaiier to build a good house than an ortlinary one. With these prosiMJcts Inifore us, we (commenced our building, which is now com-pleted, and occupied by its, but with a large debt hanging over it. <
When we got up our subscrliition list, Iko. Morgan, one of our deacons, and the only mem-ber we had who waa able to do much toward building, and P sq. Dlshough, agreed to bear an oi|iml ahari! in the enterprise, and heade<l the list with $200 each, with the mutual undcristanding to ruLse on it when it wa« necessary, untij the hoast; was tiuished, even if it cfwt them hundreds of tlollars more. W(! were delighted with the jiros-jiects before us. But alas! how H(M)n our prosiiects were turned to gloom ! The uext spring alter we commenctNl, Esfj. Dishough waa taken sufhlcnly away by death, without tanking an.v farther ar-rangement to help us. This was the spring of IK71, known by all to be the dry yi-ar, which left everybody behind finandally; and all are ae-nualnled v lth the fact, that, aincb that time, the •whole TOuntry ha?i e t i threatened with financial rnin. iintU O' tt' prospects are more favorable.-
i.-.; The Lord ha ving bleeied ue in this rouritj' u-ith good crops, ue feel hopeful that the 5i.alo ii. turn-ing for the better.
bnt for the hint tlirei' year- I have livi-d hcri'.aiid to-liow you the iiiti ri-<t 1 led iti|this iiiatt<'r, I have obligated iny.self to appropriate every dollar the church pays loe iDr my ier\ ieeH thi.s vcar to the J)ayment of tlii- delil, not l.cniuse 1 jtiii alih to do so, but tor the sake ol I lie ihiihc ot iii\' .Mastrr.
Thon- i- MO otli! r place oii i-arth over \\ hich I have shed -io tJianv tear-, and for w tiicti I havi so earne-stly prayed, and u|>on wliich I have liestowed So much hard labor a- the rhnreli at thi.s phiee. The I'edocs are losing ground in tliiss section, an«i so tar as moral intluence is concerned the Baptists have it, and 1 do feel that witii our house ont of delit we wiaild be able undi'r fbKl to move on to eon(|Ui>>t and victory. I.et me •isiy in Conclusion t hat appi'al to every friend of the rausp who may reail this to lu'lp us if they feel able to do so. IVjii't say bei-iiuse I am not able to givt' II laryc aiooiint I will noi give a small amount .\ -iumII amoinit w ill help a little and the little- will make up llic larp:e anioant lU'ed. Tin l.iinl look- at the heart more than thi amount. 1 hope that pastors especially w ill take .s«me interest in this niatt< r and let their lir<>thren and sistei> know that the\ w ill ns-eive the money and forwanl it to me. One brother pastor who is laboring lor a support ainr serviiiK i hurches, has promised n iimntir- \\a;;cs lor his part, liisidcs working in his chiirelie- to raise what he cjtn Its-sides. Just a few pastors of lhat kind to work for us, and our house will be safe. That (iod may impresfl it upon tlie mind and heart of every one who reads this, and wlio feels that he or slie loves the aiuse of our t lesscd Savior, to assist us, and that he may abundantly bless them for the same, is the earnest and sincere desire of the writer. 1 wiil clos( l>y iwkiug the itlibjr to favor us with an appeal to his readers in our Itehalf as he i.s fully ac(|U>iinte(l with our situation, and also by ask-ing the H(,i/w7i BapHnl to copy this article.

That was an awful day when the ron-federate lion, Stonewall Jacknon, crept ii|Hiii iv)or Hooker hidden in the Wilder-iicfls.

S tuar t ' s cavalry had been following u p Hooker's army, b u t i t was like a ra t fol-lowing in the footateps ot a horse.

On tha t 2d day of May his soldiers, bidden in the woods or lyin? in the fields, washed their clothirtK, wrote letters home, tnade comfortable beds lor themselvea, and were not in the least troubled a ^ u t what another week would bring forth. Aa a deep river suddenly bends U» avoid a biutf, so did t ha t great a rmy of Lee's bend to avoid the Wilder-ness I t split in two, to a t tack a t af i iven hour OD both tides, and J m .Hooker sat in his ten t and congratulated himself on his impregnable jmaition—considered im-pregnable by him, when two ^ a t high ways ran along the rear ot half of his army.

1 could alnnml count the buttons on Jackson's coat, and there teemed no escape for him. I was watchint; him when the rifle cra<-'»ed. He had a ficU'. glass to his eye, and the only mi)vciuciii we could see was a quick motion of the head, as it the bul let had cut cio-e to his ear. The glass was not even lowered. " O l d Pet« " swore a terrible long string of oaths as he realizeil his failure, but in a minute was ready again.
" I hoi>e never to <lraw ano'.her breath if Idon' t kill him stone dead! " he mut-tered, as he Icnelt down, .lackton did noi lace us as iK-lore, yet >vils a good mark even for a musket. We watched him a.s liefore, and this time the bullet must have swept past his face, as he dodged his face backward. The field gla.ss went down then, b u t he raised it in an instant and went on with hit survev.
" Have 1 got to be a fool, or liave 1 crown b l i nd ! " howled old I'ete, as he looked down upon his unharmed victim. " I'll kill him this time or shout niyseK in this chamber ."
I t was dangerous to remain there longer, as the cavairy had crept nearer, and Jackson 's aids seemed to have got the idea tha t a sharpshwter was posted near by Yet " Old Pete " would have had a ihird shot if the ron/ederates had been in the house. THE TAK<IET WAH AH KAIK AS nKKOKK. He took a more carelul aim, and yet, when be fired, he saw splinters fly from a railroad over beyond the general. The cavalry were then close ujam us, and our two musketa were lost in the hurried flight from the house. Half an hour after t h a t Jackson was dr iving our brig-ades and divisions as he willed.
" I ' l l measure the same distance shoot o f f h a n d , and bet my life I can h i t a sbldicr'a cap nine times o u t of t e n t " growled " Old I 'ete " as ho hurried for-ward, and suddi^nly overcome bv indig-nation and c h ^ r i n he battered hia cher-i s h ^ Kun againxt a tree nnd destroyed i t . • As if" seeking |)ersonal revenge, Jack-•on 'a lMions iiassed r ight by us.

He was far away, bu t i t was .lackson. " C'urae him ! b u t he has gitt a guard-

The St. l/ouis ilepublican j'ublishos the following private letter, written by a magistrate on the island called Paum-beu, in India, to his brother in Missouri :
" I am so fearfully sick of fhls dread-fu l lamliie ; people dying of starvation all around and imt of one's power to as-sist. Returning-from my morning rido one day this week I found n woman in the last stage of starvation, and although I proc ured sago and brandy for her tuo poor creature died.

Jv^-^'i i iT^.: I he news conies to UB from Lshou that
ihe Hu».si;tn war ollice has ordereil iin • itlier batch of "00 guns from Ihe famous lactory of llorr Ivrnpp. Tho cannon will 1)0 employed doiititle<s lo strenirtlien Uie field batteries in Itulgaria, which on many occfwions have proi'ed themselves interior tO ,ibo Turkish ordnance, and ait o lo itjpUce the guns of the Guard now piujSjng tho Dfinubo, whose wenp(m8 are siiid t o be, for the most pan, of an old bygone tyjie. The Turks, as we are well aware, are providerl well nigh throughout the whole ol their urlillery with steel breech-loadeis from Herr K rupp's fac to ry ; and they have also pur-( h a m fli largo numlwr of siege guns ot the same pattern for tbe defense oi Adrianople, Erzeroum and Kars. In tact, tho Constantlnoi-le war ofllce showed a giKxl deal (if discretion when it selected in arm fnr the serviw which stfHHl the licrmau host in such giKxl stoad during ihcir cuni;iiiign in France, and partic-iiliirly Ijefore Paris. I ' rwiously much of the rifled artillery in tho Ottoman service was of tho Armstroug brwfh-loading tv|K>, but lately instead of following f ireat llritaiu, nnd adopt i jg a inu/.zle-loading w( jt|>on of steul and iron, the Turks t(K)k the iiidepsndent iwurse ot selecting an arm for themselves, and how wiselv ihey ai-ted recent events haveshown. Kosjiite the significant fact that we were their oid ullifs, and that they have for many years past come to this country to purchase iliips and guns aud ammunit ion, they wom to have Isvu resolved to have their own way in the matter, and went to the Woslphalian gun foundry lor their can-non. It would not, perhaps, be unwise
)ari if wo acted in the same spirit in a matter of such
importance. The la.st European war, as the pre.senl one, has shown tho value of hreech-loading cannon in the field, and yet we are content to go on arming our men with muzzle-loading field pieces. I t i ' not, too, as if ne had tried tho now sieel weapons and found them wanting. I )n the contrary, we laslieve there is not It the present moment a single breech-loader in ourserviceof the latest Krupp pattern; we are quite sure there is none lieavy enough for siege purposes such a.'f might Im? tried practfcfllly In comparison wi ihour own cannon. And yet we are always Ixiastiug of our money and ability to command anything wo want. We only hoj>e that wo may never lie called upon in ac tua l wiuiare to test the relative value of the iron mnzrle-loader aud the Krupp weapons, in which most of the Eurojiean iHiwere pu t their t rust . — London Daihj Kem.

A correspondent writes the Indians Fa rmer : 1 have n' liced an article going tho rounds of the papers ad vocatirig, de-; lueni for. plg-jiens, which 1 concur in. But why stop will) llio pig-pen ? I havo a pig-|>eii twenty-si.^ feet by thirty-four feel, with a pnve<l and cn i en t ed floor; a'so I have a barn forty by si.xiy-four feof !-quaro, and the whole of tho base-ment pavetl and cemented. The stables have been in use for live years, and are in asgood condition now aa when new. Now, brother farmers, I will give my plan for making this kind of floor. In the first place, remove the surface dirt until you get a good, solid bed ; then spread coariK* Kaiid or gravel over the surface, from two tx) four inches deep, according to the si/.e of the stones you have to use to pave with. (Jomnience .ind lay theouter lines, making allowance for the fall you may want in your floors. Af ter getting the out'^r line-*, keep a straight edge by you, and pound every stone into your lied until i t pets solid and tho surface is even or in line. I gave my floor Irom three to four inches fall to twelve feet, frvm my manger back.
After the stones are all set as above stated, take of good water lime one part, and of clear coarre sand lour par t s ; mix thoroughly while d r y l a n d thim wet unt i l it will r un like ttiiii pot^ r idge; then pour i t in-nnd fill all the crevices until nearly to the to[» ol the stones. After that is set, take ol cement one part and sand three par ta ; make a "mortar so thin tha t i t cau be easily

L l c h l In Mlablro. Neither cattle nor horses should be
stalled in a dark stable, as all animals require light in the daytime. A horse kent for months iu a stable would be liable t(> become blind. In regard l» light iu swine pens, a writer says tha t two s(jws having litters <m the 18ih aud •J2d of .Innuary, reR|>ectively, were kept in two rather dark, but warm, temporary stios, and had to occupy them till about tho middle of the month of April, when, (or each sow with litter, ono of Iht- jter-manent s'-ies was o|icncd hy ssclling the occupants. . \t that time the pigs which had been kep; in the dark, but warm tom|)orary sties proved lo be less lively than, and much inferior in weight and size, to ihost»of any of the litters raised in the less warm but well-lighted permanent sties, notwithstanding that the diflerence in age was very small, and that fisid aiiU care had been ihe same in every respect. One of the litters born on the 18th of ..'auuary, which had accidently the best lighted'sly, though situated in the norlh-weat and consequently coldest corner of the frame building, exhibited the most rajiid growih, and the l i t ter born on the

How to nacU these, is the j ioint; tha t they are necessary is nowhere disputed. We ^ plainly that it is by choosing tiie most desirable branch of farming, suited for particular soils, locations and other con-trolling clrciimstances; and, sticking to this, bringimr to the chosen busiooss all the study, skill, patience and capital tha t may be needed. We emphasize capital, because without this all the rest are unavailing. A fanner wi thout capital is a slave; with i t , he has the means of utilizing all his o ther forces, or capabili-ties, to.the utmost. No man now can be a farmer without euflicient capital any more than ho can be a banker, a mer-chant, a manufacturer . A man may go on to the prairie or in to the woods upon a fresh homestead with very litt le capital and worry ou t a poor living, bu t he sells himself to the government for five years for this privilege, and for t h a t time, un t i l he has the pa ten t for his land in h i i hand, he is not a f ree man, bu t is i c bonds; h u t to go in to t h e bu»liie« of farming prof lubly , capital is needed. ^\^len the par t icular ,b ianch U chosen, not from fancy, beeauae this will not do, lor there are dairy and grtltf farms, one of which Vill t io t su i t t he «ther bua t . ness; 4nd there are milk forms and mar-ket larms in the r lc lni ty of dtiCi, t h a t

P e n t Jeeus, the friend of sinners! He pities the
¥ fallen, and tenderly stoops to raise them up; and
1 .cleansing them with his own lilood, presents th(!m
'' pure and uusttdniHl bt^fore the Father. He allied
himself with our slnfal llesh for tho puriKi.se of
raising a i up from our sin and degradation. His
divine mission was to the fallen; and lu- was no
more contaminated by his contuct with publimns
and sinner! than are the rays that shine down
iuhr iiie dark morass, reeking with slime imd
iHWtilence, dry up its lioxiouB vapors, and render
fallen; nor in this work ture they iwlluted by the
a.sHOciation; He who descends to the depths of
t i ^ ocean in'a diving-beU, is ntrt overwhelmed by
its waters, because he carried down with him a
brwith of pure air, and keeps himself in constant
icommunitation with the upper air: so the
I t 'hrMian who dementis to the depths of .so<nety to

le-son i.s hi're: How often the /.eal of men and
women to discover aud evpo- e the sins of their
fellow creature- ha- I'Ut olVall liopeo! retriat from
the path of sin: an<l how often the puhlielty of a
llist sill ha.- driven the iinrortiinate tempted away
from the holy inllueiices of virtiK.us examiile, and
e.\|)o.sed her to all the ci.ntaniinatiun of sinful
association : Uetter oiten clo-e our eye.- uiMtn the
faults of our fellow men. The hle^sed .lesiis did
HO in this instance. Well miirht it he saltl of him :
" A hruised recti he will not hreak, and smokin>;
flax he will not iiuench."
11. Her self-condenine<i ai cuser- <lare not take
up the ^'iiane of sinlessnes- wluch the iJreat
Teacher had .so holdly throw ii down ; hut one hy
one they went out, tlicrehy confe-sinn their own
sins.
1. .\nd till- would he the common confe.ssion of
all, for all are sinneiN. No ma.i livoth and sinneth
not. There i- U(aie thai doeth (jood, no not one.
They have all };onc astray, and have become oh-
noxious to the penalty of (iod's violated law, as
Wits this poor woman ; aiul therelVire all nee<l the
divine compu.-.sioii. In tin- eyes of men, some
sins are more ohnoxious than others; hut in the
eyes of (.i(j<l all sin i- hateful, and therefore all
n'eiHl his mercy. And when arrai>,Mied at the har
of con.scieiice, all are cmpel l i i l to confess them-
selves to he sinners.
H. And wich has occasion to consider his own
sins rather than anothers. If we couhl always
turn our thouj^hts inwardly, and consider our<jw ii
woaknesss, we would often he less severe uiwu the
failings of others, and les.s dispose*! to a,ssume the
prerogative of (IikI, and stone our fellow sinners
for transgressions perhajis no tjreater in the sight
of (tod than (uir own. If we would only hi -d the
words of our Savior, let him that is without sin
cast the tirst stone, how often our hands, which
an; so ready to hu^l the missile, would he ,stayed,
and we would steal away self-<oiidemned. Let
us bear in mind that the same eompa.s.sionatc
.lesus, the friend of sinnei-s, has said : " If y<! for-
give not men their trispasses, n<'ither will your
heavenly Father forgive you your trespa.sses."
Then let us pniy with the poet: -
•• Ttnrh iiio to fuel miolher'H wix'. To liltli'lh.' fuull I WM- .
riiiit nu'icy I lo olhiTH hIi<>» , Tliiit mercy hIiow lo mi,'."
i l l . The readiness of Christ to forgive.
I. He <lid not spurn the i»enitent f rom the door of mercy. He says in liLs word: " 1 le that
,wnjfith unto me, I will in nowLse cast t>ut." 1 lis miasion was to save siimers, not to destroy them, and that the chief of sinnei-.s. Here was a from a human standpoint, that demamled hia severest reprobation. It was a terrible sin she had committed, luid one that society is slow lo forgive; but ho did not shut her out from the hope of merry on that account. And he says to you, my hearers, t«HlHy: "Come, let us reason
together. Though ymir sins he a»l scarlet, I will make ihem wliite as snow; and though they be red like crimson, 1 will make them as wool.'^
He il(K>s not hold the sinner aloof for a .season and then forgive; hut JiLstt«s,s<»ouasliere|)entsand lait.s his trust in the l^iinb of Goil that laktv away the sins ot the world his sins though many are all torgi veil him. (iod dow not keep his favor in aheyance to si-*- if the reiKWitance is genttitu', fof he uei-ileth not that a n y s h o u l d testify unto hint w hat i- ui man. 1 le knows just thestute of every
hej.rt, and not a single tear of penitence CVCr be-
dew- the cheek that escaiKs his iiotioe; and he
hasten- to forgive the penitent and is nKioneihtl
to him through the r. demption of the blood of
.lesus
;!. This phu-es the sinner that trust.s in Christ In
a situation where none can accuse. " W h o shall
lay anything to the charge of (lo«i's eletff.' It is
(Mid iliat jusHlleth. Who Is hothatcondemneth
It is Christ that died." Where are now thy ac-
cusers V All liuve tied from the severe scrutiny of
the Searcher of all hearts, abashitl, cimfountletl,
st'lf-eoudemmtl. The law demands the death of
the sinner. She has no defease. She Is taken in -
the very act and is drag(retl before the tribunal.
Her adversary demands her punlshm«nt. But
.lesus interposes. The iK'cus<!rs fly, and the sinner
isleftalonewith.lesus. Alone with JisWlsf "^Vhat
has she to fear V H is tenderness refam-d to iM'Br
her accusersund his compassion, sheltered Tier from
the fury of her fo«!s. Alone with Jesufl, who lifls
his tender, compa-sslonatc eyes to hers. Surely
there i> no condemnation there. He opens his
hl"ss<tl lii>s: " 1 lath no man accused thee V None.
Neither do I comlemn thw. Oo and sin no more."
I'leeicais words. Ari«e, i»oor sinner, from thy
degradation and walk in newness of life, secure In
the favor of him who hath loved you and given
him.self lor you.
I \ ' . H e o n l y demands that you lead a diiremit
life. (Jo sin no more.
I. The act of the Savior in this instance does not
import that huionnivesatsin. H<'honoredCJod's
law by his own obe«llence, and he showed his ab-
horrence of sin hy offering himself a sacrifice upon
tlie ihameful » roii as an atonement for tho sips of
the world. He forgi vcs sin not liowiuse it is trifling,
