Christian RefOrmers.

1t is delightful TO see people springing
up, however slowly, who can be at once de-
votionally religious, morally reformatory, and
socially regenerative; who are earnestly en-
deavoriDg to carry out the Christianity of
Christ, in process of regeneration npplica-
BILE alike TO the indipidiial, the family, and to
society; who are striving to combine in one
associative moyement-adequate provisions
for all the essential wants of human nature.
They have undertaken to remove mountains,
but if they cherish the faith Of Jesus, they
will succeed
Brethren, We are few and contemned by
the world, but you are the pioneers of
mighty army of Practical Christian Socialists
yet to be raised up. Coming generations
will appreciate your Office and mission, rs
the vanguard of that morally heroic army.
You seem 10 your contemporaries eccentric
inipracticables; but you will yet be honored
as far-seeing, prudent, efficient, indomitabe
demonstrators of "a more excellent way"
for mankind TO serve God and each other.
Fear not, little flock, il is your Fathers
good pleasure TO give you the Kingdom
BE strong, quit you like men. Let il be
seen that you can be religious without super
stition, rational without skeptcism, liberal
without licentiousness, humane and plIian-
thropic without underwriting piety, radical
reformers without anti-organization, and
eomeouters from the synagogue of Satan,
without remaining Stay-OlSters from all Chris
tian association. Stand fast and We shall
preyail.--Hopedaie Christian.

Many mounted Tie forms III their cogerncss
to obtain the first glimpse Of bis return. l.
was clear that their honor was at stake and
several said they would kill the lad In the
morning If he mnde away with the money.
Many minutes elapsed in almost breathless
suspense, and some Of his companions be-
gan TO say TINT so large sum Of money had
proved too great temptation for the boy
At last, however, tremendous burst of
cheering announced the lads return. The
delight of his companions broke forth again
and again in long and loud peals of ap-
plausc, and the youth advanced amidst trium-
phant shouts TO the platform, and gave up
the money in full.

Emerson American.

While his Idea is American, the form of his
literature is not less so. II is n form which
suits the substance, and is modified by the
institutions and natural objects about him.
You see that the author lives in land with
free institutions, with town-meetings aud
ballot-boxes; in the vicinity of a deeaying
church; among men whose terrible devils
are Poverty aud Social Neglect, the only
devils whose damnation is much cared for
His geography is American. Katskill and
the Alleganies, Monapnock, Wachusett, and
the uplands of Ncw-IIonpshire, appear in
poetry or prose Contocook and Aglochook
are better than the Ilyssus, or Pactolus, or
smooth-siding Mincius crowned with vocal
reeds" New-York, Fall River, and Lowell
have place in his writings, where vul gar
Yankee would put Thebes or Postum. His
men and women are American--John and
Jane, not Coriolanus and Persephonc. lie
tells of the rbodora, the club-moss, the bloom
ing clover, not of the hibiscus aud the as
phodel. He knows the hunblebee, the
blackbird, the bat, and the wren, and is not
ashamed to say or sing of the things under
bis own eyes. lie illustrates his high
thought by common things out of our plain
w-England life--thc meeting in the
church, the Sunday school, n huckleherry
party, the boys and girls fastening home
from school, the youth in the shop, begin
ming an unconscious courtship with his I'M
needing customer, the farmers about their
work in the fields, the bustling trader in the
city, the cattle, the new hay, the voters at
a town-meeting, the village brawler in q
tavern full of tpsy riot, the conservative
who thinks the nation is lost If his ticket
chance to miscarry, the bgot worshiping o
knot hole through which a dusty beam Of
light has looked in upon his darkness, the
radical who declares that nothing is good il
established, and the patent retormer who
screams in your ears that he can finish the
world with a single touch--and out of all
these he makes his poetry, or illustrates his
philosophy. Now and then he wanders of
10 other lands, reports what he has seen, but
it is always an American report of whit an
American eye saw. Even Mr.. Emerson's
recent exaggerated praise Of England is
such panegyric as none but an American
could bestow.-Theodore Parker.

est order,

which, fashioned by the hand of God, and
upheld by his power, isrolling through the
heavens, all is his--his from the centre to
the sky. II Is the space on which the gene
ration before him moved IN its round of

visible link with those that preceded him, as
he is also with those who will follow him, and
TO whom he will transmit home. Perhaps
his farm has come down 10 him from bis
fathers. They have gone TO their last home |;
lie can trace their footsteps over the scenes

The STEAMBoAT.-We never tire Of a
steamboat. She is the moving embodiment
of all that is great and glorious in nature and
art and what with studying poetry in the
engine room, history in the pilot house, and
humanity in the cabin, one need never run
out of books on board steamer. How we
did wonder to see intelligent people sit all
day in an oyerheated cabin reading some
trashy novel, while the great engine dis
coursed most eloquent music, taught the
poetry of motion and the forbearing gentle
ness of omnipotent power all unheard; and
the mighty waters rushed on in glorious ma
iesty, all unheeded. Voices from The grave
of the past spoke out on either shore-the
history of nations and Legislative acts were
written there but few had time to readl-
Nearly all would come out to look at Town,
or city--some gentlemen speculated on the
probable price and productiveness of land
in different localities; but the great old trees
that stood leahess and bare, with more oI
less of their roots washed clean, like an old
man tired Of life's buffetings, with his hearts
tendrils slowly losing their hold of earth
and preparing him TO drop INTERESTINGLY int
the river Of death, that shall bear him TO tin
ocean of eterniy--the cabin nestled amongs
the hills, telling It's tale of toll priyation anf
domestic joys--the thousand and one object
of interest, each one of which might suppl,

The CHURcH.-"A church that makes
love to man the manifestation of love to
God" is the very church Jesus Christ found
ed. This is the religion lie taught. "By
this shall all men know ye are my disciples,
if ye love one another" whatsoever We
would that men should do unto you, do We
even SO to them ALSO" The conduct of. or
thodox churches in opposing reforms, and
justifying "orgonie SIMS" proves nothing
against Christianity, but only proves them
anti-christian. An such churches are part
and parcel OF that Anichrist which our
Savior will destroy to make way for His
Kingdom. A church that countenances in
temperance and the oppression of the poor,
is no church of Christ for it wants the first
outline to make il Christ-like. We would
much rather join your Iniidel club aud help
to celebrate Paine's birth, than to Join 1

thor of crime, and robbery, and wrong, anc
with it celebrate the death of Christ,-MRs

How Shoe-Pegs are Made.

The following interesting sketch of a fac
tory where 1000 bushels Of pegs are made
annually, at Vienna Village, Kennebec coun-
ty, is from the Maine Farmer: The logs are
sawed in blocks of suitable length for the
pegs, and the ends are planed smooth.--
Grooves are then cut OH the ends of these
blocks, crossing each other at right angles,
ahd these form the points of the pegs. They
are then separated by splitting the prepared
blocks, knife being introduced between
each row of points, corresponding with the
growing. All these operations are perform
cd by the machinery with the utmost pre-
csion and celebrity. The pegs are then
bleached, dried, and prepared for the mar
ket. We do not know what further inn
provements can bo made in the manufac-
ture of shoe pegs. We recollect the time
when the sons of Crispin' made their own
pegs-splitting them from the block, and
pointing them with the shoe knife. The
machinery in the above establishment, we
will venture TO say is capable of turning off
more pegs in one day, than all the shoema-
kers in the State could make in the old way
in the same time, while the machine pegs
are altogether superior. The machinery
here used was invented and patented by q
New Hampshire Yankee.
MIR, Thomas @. Norris, the proprietor of
this factory, informed us that since Septem-
Der last, he had sent 1877 barrels of shoe
pegs and pins for cabinet work to Manches-
ter, England. lie has further orders from
the same place which he is unable 10 supply
at present, in consequence of the water be-
ing SO low in the stream that he could not
keep his works in operation through the
winter.
