TTNIIS extraordinary chemical composition, the re-
Il suit OF science and the invention of a celebra-
ted medical man, the introduction of which to the
public was invested with the solemnity of a death

leled, fully sustaining the correctness of the lamented
DR.. Gridley's last confession, that "he dared not die
without giving to posteTity the benefit of his knowl-
edge on this subject.'' and he therefore bequeathed
to his friend ami attendant, Solomon Hays, the secret
of his discovery.

SovEREIGN REMEDY FOR cHURC sLEEPERs.-
As | am sadly pestered, occasionally, during
my devotional exercises, by persons snoring.
and shaking me with their heads, | send you
a short narrative from the Christian Guar
dian, published at Toronto. By inserting it
you will please your neighbor to edification,'
and probably may remind some of your rea-
ders that the ancient heather shipmaster's
query and admonition to the runaway
prophet: Jonah, i, 6, is not less applicable to
dull folks CT the present generation--What
meanest thou, o sleeper? Arise, and call
upon thy Cod
"Mr. V. is a man possessed of much na-
tive wit, and, which is of much more impor-
lance, is deeply imbued with the spirit of his
Master. For many years he has been a
worthy and active member of the Church:
and often during that period, like MANY of his
brethren, has his mind been panied by wit
Messing the apathy and Indifference of church
sleepers. In the Wesleyan Chapel at n.
the evil was exceedingly prevalent, and ap-
peared to be on the increase, when the follow
ing incident transpired, which had a most
salutary effect in banishing sleep from the
house of God:
On a summers ev~ening--soon as the pre-

lIminarieS 10 preaching had been performed,
ana the text duly announced by the minister,
Il young gentleman might have been seen
placing himself in the most comfortable stu
alton imaginable, both 10 superinduco and
enjoy a profound sleep. Soon some rather
audible indications were given that the SAID
gentleman. whom we shall call A., was Sin
the arms of Morpheus locked The eye of
Mr.. V. fell upon him, and ever and anon was
turned from the preacher to the sleeper and
from the sleeper to the preacher, with MIN
gled feelings of pity and regret. Thus mat
tiers continued, until the sudden cessation OF
preaching-or the preparations for the col
lection-or both awoke A., who v~acantlv
lgazed around him when Mr.. =. approached
with the box. to receive the collection. As
the box passed A. towards the farther end oil
the pew, he gracefully bowed, it passed down
again-again he nodded. MIR. V. still pre-
scented the box before him. \. tool no notice.

The color deepened as in the hearing Of a

piled, Il have nothing with me-
The establishment of Mr.. V. appeared To

His heart must be deprav'd:
And on that heart is written 'roam,
And Lore is not engraved.

What sweeter greet mine ear.

With Home, to mortals given;

IL WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Con pwELLETH
IN Us.-For God to dwell in man. is to fulfil
the stipulation of the New Covenant. which
is of The following tenor: Il will put my
laws into their mind. and write them in their
hearts; and | will be to them Il God. and
they shall be TO me a people. | will dwell
in them and walk with them; | will be mer-
ciful 10 their unrighteousness. and their sins
and their iniquities will | remember no more"
Does the reader inquire, flood dwells in him!
Let him answer another question: Do vcu
love your fellow men! Christian men with 4
love of complacency, all men with a love of
~benevolence! To this test is the question
brought by the beloved disciple in the sen
tence above quoted. If we love one anoth-
er God dwelleth in us. Why? Because if
we have sincere affection. practical mutual
love we know that something supernatural
has been wrought within us. divine agen-
cy has been operating on our hearts. Some
thing natural to us has been overcome or re-
moved! the malevolent tendencies of our
nature have been arrested and their power
weakened. Something holy and of heavenly
origin has been communicated. The tvrant
and exclusive passion of selfishness has been
dethroned-drIyen from its strong hold of
the heart, "by the expulsive power Of a new
affection"
But in applying this test, let u not deceive
ourselves. Lett be considered whether our
love for Christians and for all mankind has
encountered one decisive trial. There is Of
ten a latent misanthroPy within US, which we
do not suspect, because the emergencies have
not arisen, which are suited to deveIope it.
Has it been tried by provocation, by opposi-
ton, by injuries done to our reputation, our
feelings, or our interest? And has it sur
vived this trial, not only undiminished. but
with an augmentation of strength and ~iervor!
If so, it is Of the right kind; it resembles that
of our divine Master for us. God recon-
mendeth his love to us, in that while we
were enemies Christ died for us.1[CAristian

against a clause prohibiting the future in.
PRODUCTION of slavery into Arkansas, and
against the future emancipation of slaves
born in Arkansas.
So bascly did he bow to slavery, that
even Ohio was shocked. He was indig-
nantly rejected at the next Congressional
election in 1922. The National Intelli-
gencer of October 20, 1922, says:-"It
is confirmed to US, that Mr. Gazclv is
elected in opposition to Gen. Harrison
A friend informs us, which we arc sorry
to learn, that he was opposed particularly
on account of his adherence 10 that princi-
pie of the Constitution which secures to
the people of the South their pre- existing q
rights" 1t seems, then, that Gen. Uar-
rison claimed for the Sout! the right to
fasten slavery upon any soil which the
nation might have or purchase.
He has had but little opportunity to act
in public capacity, upon the subject Of
slavery since that time; but, an address
from his political friends in Virginia, in
1886, says: "he is sound to the core, on
the subject Of slavery"
Under these circumstances, we submit
that conscientious abolitionists are bound
to regard the two parties and their candi-
dates, as standing precisely on the same
ground-that of unlimited subserviency
to the dominion of the Slavocracy. 1t is
true-Gen. Harrison's personal demon
STATIONS are less recent than Mr.. Van Bu-
ren's. But, they are uuch stronger, for
Mr. Van Buren, helped to send Rufus King
to the U. S. Senate, to oppose slavery in
and he has never attempted to
extend slavery TO regions where it was al
ready abolished. And further. the de.
of the Harrison party are
more recent, than those of the other
And, it is said, that we should give the
old G General chance to repent Of his pro-
slavery, we reply: that it belongs to the
man who repents to exhibit his own rcpen-
lance. Certainly, there are no circum-
stances in the case, which warrant the
slightest prescriptions in favor of his re-
oentance. Let him, or his friends, ifi
hey choose, show wherein his views now
lifer from his actions in 1902, and 1919, |.
md 1886. And, in default Of this, let
he friends of human rights come at once
o the conviction that the cause they have !
,spoused, is, by Divine Providence, en- !
r,1s,ed their own guardianship, and that
or its success or failure, their country and
,osterity will hold them responsible.

Confession Of Murdcress.-A wretch.
ed female, named Phoebe Ann Sironson,
who stands charged with the murder Of
John Floor, butcher in New York, on
Sunday week, has, we learn from the
Courier and Enquirer, made confession.
"She was met in the police Office by
her father and mother. when a scene en-
sued which battles description. She fell
on her knees before the magistrate, and
in all the agony of despair shrieked out,
! riH confess aHt-I am murdcrer!!-
She then, as i relieved from an oppres.
sirc burden, became comparatively calm,
end de!"icd all tEo circumstances of the
EGrrid llansaciinn.
She said that she had read her Bible
hiring tie "ho!e Of Sunday, from which
sic lad been convinced that she must die,
an;I that ii was better for her, as prepar-
aiory step 10 such an event, to make
full disclosure.
She then went on to state that she had
been married 10 Floor for about two years;
that during that time lie had neglected her,
and had often kept company with other
women, which had excited in her an un-
ccnqucrable jcalnusy: that she had till rec
