Of Ohio just adjourned, passed law lately, which
makes it States Prison offence TO use stygc1fius in

come to light during the past Winter with much
briIHancy in what was called the ''Hog-Cholera,"
the Hogs that thus died having been fed on the re-
fuse Of the Whisky Stills, with the strychnine ac-
commitment.

GROWING IN GRACE.

The light of the righteous is as the dawn
that waxeth brighter and brighter unto the
perfect day. Declining Christians have
if they quickly repent not, and recover
themselves to their pristine state, and Go
their first works with their first zeal and
alacri'y, they may sadly suspect that
their graces are not true for growth in
grace is the best evidence OF truth of
grace. Indeed in young converts there
may be a great deal Of heat and ~fervor,
which afterwards, when they are more
established Christians, may abate and
they may think this a decay in their
graces, when indeed il is not. For we
must distinguish between a passionate
love Of God, and q sedate, serene love Of
God. Our passions do, in our first con.
version, mingle more with our graces
than afterwards !; and her we are like 3
torrent, very swift and rapid, but neither
so deep nor strong. And, as little brooks
and torrents, though they run very fierce.
", yet stop, and purl, and murmur at
every small pebble that lies in their way {;
but great rivers, which seem to move with
a slow and grave pace, yet bear dow all
mounds and dams, and whatsoever is in
their way to oppose their passage, so is it
here, grave and settled Christians may
seem to move more slowly, without any
noise or tumuIt but they have a great
depth and strength in them, and are able
to bear down before them, those tempta
lions and oPposilions, at which young
| ,ny,a,. IL 1900, g.. =.
are forced to stop, complain, and murmur.
And we must estimate the growth of our
grace, not only indeed so much, by the
violence Of its efforts, as its preyaIency
and effectualness, which proceeds from its
more radical and habituaI in us-Bishop
HoDkins.
