RELATION OF THE CONVERTED SINNER TO
CHRIST.
TIE apostle says in Rom. viii. 3 and
4, that "what the law could not DO, in that
it was weak through the flesh, God, send.
ING his own Son in the likeness OF sinful
flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
that the righteousness Of the law might be
fulfilled in u.s." Here he shows US the MI
serv of our natural condition; the mercy
OF God: and the end and effect of the EN-.
bassv Of his Son. In these three partlcu-
lars he solves some difficulties to which the
preceding verse might have given rise
For some might have doubted about the ne
ccssi,v of the Liberty in;o which Jesus Christ
introduces Us, or acknowledging 1t, might
have charged the law with detectiveness and
impotence, because it was not given to JUS
,ifv. To meet the first difficulty the apostle
shows US that it was necessary that we
should be made free by Jesus Christ, be-
cause the law could not Justify US; and with
respect to the second he shows that there is
no defect in the law, but that the fault and
defect is in man the law being found weak,
no; in itself, but in our flesh; for it can JUS
tifv those who fulfil it, as it is said she that
doeth these things shall live by them. -
But the flesh, i. C. the corruption OF human
nature, has rendered man incapable of full
filing it, and so also, bu, accidentally, inca
pabIe Of justfying him. But besides, some
NAV object that the freedom obtained by the
death Of Jesus Christ infringes and violates
the law which subjects every sinner to death.
The apostle shows that the embassy of Je-
sus Christ and the freedom acquired thro'
him by no means violates the law; because
it is of such nature, that the sin, which
the law requires to be punished, has been
condemned and punished in Jesus Christ IN
such q manner, that so far as the law has
been violated its righteousness is found full
filled in us by this means. Hence, most
obviously, "there is now no condemnation
to those who arc in Christ Jesus because
He has condemned and fulfilled in the flesh
what ought to be condemned and fulfilled
in US. The misery of our natural condl-
ton, and the mercy Of God in the incarna.
ton of his Son, are very useful and delight.
ful subjects to the believer. The first shows
him to himself, and the second displays the
goodness of God: the tendency Of the first
is to discourage and humble him, that Of the
second to encourage him. For what can
be more comfortable than to see ourselves
lost in ourselves, but found by the Lord
sold under sin, but redeemed by Jesus Christ!
ensIaved by Satin, but emancipated by the
Son Of God! condemned in ourselves, but
absolved in the Lord our righteousness
dead and exposed to the second death, but
quickened and entitled to everlasting life by
his death? to see in the depth of our evils
the depth Of his grace? in the abyss of mi:
sery an abyss of compassion and mercy
so that Satan endeavors to conceal from us
and diminish our misery, that he may les.
sen our obligations to the mercy OF God.
! We ought therefore to study il fully. that

PRoprov.-ln the Patriot of Thursday. we
notice letter from some gentleman in 'riv-
crtOn. giving an account OF most singular
prodigy, "a serpent fongmed infant" a. the
writer terms il, which he visited on Block Is.
land. The child is nboht two years old, hor-
'ribly emaciated 10 a mere skeleton. It was
in chair, seated in one corner Of the room,
and when the stranger entered, the child
opened it's mouth, and instead ofa tongue, a
serpent's head and neck was thrust out, his
sing in q manner peculiar to that repulsivc
species. The fears Of the child being quiet
ed, the serpent headed tongue recrded, and
the lips Of the child closed over il. The wri-
ter represents this strange member as Of II
dark copper color, shining, and in places in.
clining to streaks Of green-its eyes jet black
"A bright yellow ring encircles its neck, ,hnv-
ing the appearance Of gold The child is a
female. and lives principally upon milk. 1t
is passing strange, if trne, that snch singu-
lar production Of nature should have been two
yenrs in existence and nothing ever heard of
it before beyond the boundaries Of Block Es-
land. But we live in the age of wonders

COAL-We may be mistaken, but it seems
quite clear tn our apprehe nsion, that our citi-
zens should bestir themselves prospectively,
with reference to the acquisition of their next
winters fuel. An immense number of mi
ncrs have been discharged from employment
at Pottsville-they have gone to the West
and as the miners business requires to be
learnt by considerable probation, it does
not seem probable that much will be done in
tho getting out Of coal during the present
summer, unless miners are imported from En-
gland and Wales for the purpose. From
present prospects, 1t 10 possible that the sup
ply may not be equal to the general demand;
and if the engagements for coal are not en-
tered into ere the summer is ended, the nnvi-
cation may close before contracts are fulfilled
and then we shall see how prices will 90

dollars.-ls it not wisdom to avert such a

Dr,ndjM Theatrical .7ccideni IN Ctina.-
The. Canton Prcss Of October 22. informs us
that IA company Of actors were a few days
since engaged by the people o: village Of
the name Of Rowkong. After the temporary
theatre had been erected.and every thing was
ready for the play to begin, when striking up
the music, the great drum burst, which acci-
dent being considered an unlucky omen, the
actors refused to perform; but the People
would not be thus deprived of their arnnse-
ment, and with threats and clamor compelled
the actors to proceed. During the perform.
ance some fireworks were let of, and the
bamboo shed in which the sing song was
took fire. The spectators, too eager to save
themselves, rushed out over narrow bridge
constructed for the occasion 60 lead to the
theatre, built over q river, which gave way
under the too great pressure, and all those al
the time upon it were precipitated into the
water, and upwards Of 100 women and 3C
men were drowned. OF the actors none lost
their lives" ~ roa

Emigration TO the Wea.-The Hennepn
Journal, handsome weekly paper which has
been recently commenced in the town of that
name, in illinois, says;-
Among the numerous arrivals at our port,
of those who are to become part Of the bone
and sinew Of our great and growing State,
we take considerable pleasure IN being cnn-
bed to notice one of more than common in
terest-it being no less than that Of thirty or
forty families from Providence, Rhode Island,
with the intention to locate about twelve
miles west Of this place, on a beautiful prairie
site, which, in commemmoration of their for.
mer residence, they have named Providence.
They were brought to this place by the
steamboat Wisconsin. We welcome them To
the fertile land which their exertions will
soon cause to bring forth the luxurant har-
vest, and to smile with the tokens Of the ge-
MUS and industry ofcivilized man. Our State
needs only to be occupied by industrious md
persevering citizens, to produce, not only all
the necessaries, but most Of the lnxuries OF
life, and such a population, ere any great
lapse Of time, it will have. Men, who are
willing to work, need not here complain,
either Of want Of employment, or an insult
ficient remuneration Of their labor-so that
when any one who has visited our beautiful
country returns to the far east,crying out 'all
is barren" their friends may set them down
either as iders, or as those who labor under
disease, the which by the learned is termed
"Nostalgia," which means, simply "homeslck.
ness" Let the stout Of heart and strong in
arm, come among us, and they will find tho!
the labor Of few years will be rewarded
with competence for life.
The same paper states that the town o.
Henncpin is situated on the eastern branch
Of the Illinois river, about $50 miles above its
mouth, and 30 miles below the mouth of Foa
river. The Illinois is navigable as high ~
as IIennepin at all seasons Of the year excep
when closed by ice. The business prospects
Of the town are said to be cheering, the
steamboats, arriving and departing daily, ant

timents exactly.
WHIG CONVENTIONS.
Newport, May 25, 1887.

The Convention which is to assemble in
Newport on the 2lst of June, it is hoped, will
be represented by every town in the State.
In times like the present, it is the imperative
duty of every citizen who regards the snpre-
macy Of the laws, and the prosperity Of his
country, to sacrifice all personal feelings, and
resolve that for once, at least, he will devote
his best energies to the success Of Wing
principles. Politics must now become the
business OF life, until reform in the national
councils is accomplished; for until then, no
other business can be successfully and Sc
curely prosecuted.
A contest is now wuging between the Pro.
pie and greedy. violent and desperate class
Of office holders and their associates. II the
People do not assert their prerogative through
the ballet box, then they nav surrender
themselves to the arbitrary mandates ofpower.
1t should be impressed upon each and all,
that the means Of relief from present disasters
are now within their reach. Ifthe House Of
Representatives Of the United States is re.
formed, the Senate will follow, and then will
! be adopted such measures rs will restore the
country to peace and security.
We repeat,that it IL q I important that every
town should be represented in the Wing
Convention. That body will designate the
candidates to be supported by the frcemen
for members of the next Congress. Whoev-
er it may designate, shall receive the firm,
hearty and unwavering support of this press.
We occupy no neutral ground, and trust we
never may, when our Country is bleeding at
every pore from wounds inflicted by official
Ifunctonarics.

I Depend upon it, ,he. whoever thrusts him

the all-absorbing consequences of the comm!
election, and they are resolved, if union AM

will contain all the tables which are generally
deemed necessary in navigating ship, &c.
The third part will contain various chapters
on subjects Of n moral nature, intended'to el-
evate the character of the American sailor in
the scale of society and place him in the rank
which he deserves.
The subject of intempcrancc, licentious-
ness, profanity, gambling, boarding houses,
conduct ut sea and shore, with the general du-
ties Of cailor, of an officer. and of shipmas-
ter, will he fully treated of-and in n manner
which we feel assured will meet the appro-
bation Of the most distinguished friends Of
this neglected class OF the community, and
being -xemplifed by narratives taken from
real life, will probably be interesting and at
,raetive To the sailor. The work will be
published in one portable volume, and Of
i"red n, cheap ra,e.so that the expense will
be no bar To its extensive circulation.

thorough knowledge of nautical lite and OF
