SANcTIF1cAT1oN. Archbishop Ushel
was man of distinguished learning, piety,
and diligence. The following circumstance
will show that his humanity equalled his
other valuable endowments:
A friend of the Archbishop frequently
urged him to write his thoughts on Sane
ti,fcation, which at length he engaged to
do; but considerable time elapsing, the
performance of his promise was unfortu-
nately claimed. The Bishop replied to
this purpose: 81 have not written, and yet
l cannot charge myself with breach Of
promise, for l began to write; but when l
came to treat of the new creature which
God formeth by his own spirit in every re-
generate soul, found so little of it wrought
in myself that 1 could not speak of it only
as parrots, or by rote, but without the
knowledge of what l might have expressed !;
and, therefore, l burst not presume to pro-
coed any farther upon it."
Upon this, his friend stood amazed to
hear such an humble confession from so
grave, holy, and iminent person. The
Bishop then added: 81 must tell you, we
do not well understand what sanctifcation
and the new creature are. 1t is no less
than for man to be brought to an entire
resignation of his own will to the will of
God; and to live in the offering up of his
soul continually in the flames of love, as
whole burnt-offering to Christ: and how
many who profess Christianity are unac-
quainted, experimentally, with this work
upon their souls p

Fools like the grosser metals, are pretty
equally distributed. They can be found
almost everywhere.
Many man goes so far in advance of
the age he lives in, that he dwarfs himself:
Perhaps that is what makes Alexander

it is tin; and block of silver may have

Red cheeks are only oxygen in another
shape. Girls anxious to wear pair will
find them where the roses do-out of doors.
When Dickens had nearly completed the
Old Curiosity Shop, he received multi

The author was implacable, and his pc

We have a horror of the old English
Grammars. Our recouections Of them are
a sort of intellectual nightmare. We re-
member our feats in that mysterious, indie
scribable operation called passing. A pas
sage of poetry was taken-the prince Of
English rhyme was the yictim-the class
was called up and operations commenced.
First it was transposed, which was moth
ing more or less than turning the beautiful
thoughts wrong side out; mutilating, mur-
dering, every tking but eating the immor-
tai lines. We wondered the bard slept well
where they laid him9
This being done, and the fragments
strown in every direction, the operation
was continued, and brought into Play our
chronological lore. "a proposition Is
word that connects words and show tns
relation between them.n
How many pupils, do You imagine, ever
paused to INQUIRE whether the relation al
luded to, was blood relation or relation
by marriage? We solemnly believe, not
one in score!
Space diminishes objects; time magni-
fes them. Cleopatrvs Needle at the dis
tance of fifteen miles is much to small for
oambric, while Cleopatra herself seems
more fascinating, and poor Anthony less q
fool than they seemed fifteen centuries ago.
Time, that silyers the hair, turns tho
baser coin of thought into gold.
As pure spark may be stricken out by
the rusty steel, so thought of beauty may
scintillate from rough and angular soul.
Now is tks time to begin to think about
it, and to read Natures advertisements for
the summer campaign.

be busy before she can be beautiful.
Contributions to summer indeed How

How to Get Religion..The Diff
ference Between Religi0WS
Men and Christianss -

AT the prayer meeting at Burton's The
atre in New York, on Saturday, Henry
Ward Beecher said: i's s.
Hewas strongly impressed with the idea
that there should not be occasion for SO
much individual labor as there is. He
could conceive the necessity of It in a health
en- country, where the Gospel is proclaim
ed for the first time; but here, where the
truths of Christianity have been so long
and repeatedly taugbt-where we have
heard little else-it seemed to him meii
did not need, in this respect to 60 through
with another training. He believed that
there was not a man present incapable of
being Christian before sundown.
But there are many who lay out plan
for being converted, by supposiug that they
must at first be serious for two or three
days, then have week Of being anxious,
and then finally go through He'll Gate and
become Christian. 1t wac, he thought
shame for a man 10 lay out such plan.
A man should take his resolution, and act
upon it at once. f
There was an idea that unless there was
some leader in the case, deacon or cler-
gyman, mans conversion could not be
complete; but he believed that Christiaui-
ty was between mans heart and his God
and that he needed not these appliances
There was not man in the house, who If
he chose, could not 60 home that night,
and to the amazement of his wife and child
rem. ask Gods blessing upon his dinner, in
a Christian spirit for the first time. IS
He drew distinction between desire and
choice. The ragged vagabond desires to
be rich, but he desires laziness more; and
we choose that which we most desire. If
man desires 70 be a Christian, and ths
desire is SO strong that he is willing TO re-
liuquish everything for this-ambition, bu'
siness, pleasure, or whatever the sacrifice
was no reason why he
should not become Christian that Instant
Men who simply desire Christianity, are
only religious men; they are not Chris.
tians. He believed there we're thousands
of people in the churches who are only re-
ligious and not Christians. They live in
are almost literally Gods bonds
men, but he who Is q Christian, is drawn
to it by something in Christ which he can
love and worship. He often found it nee
assary, when people from other churches
came to him, TO try and turn them out of
religion into Christianity. -

@ The New York Express in its
Washington correspondence, has the fol.
lowing interesting incident:
'On Saturday last, while the discussion

struggle than upon the arguments ofspeak-
ers, aud while all were in doubt as to what
might be the ultimate course of Mr.. Gid

Crittenden came in the hall, and, near the
door, was joined by the Hon. H. Marshall.
But moment was permitted them for
communication, when Mr.. Giddings went
forward, and, taking Mr.. Crittenden warm
ly by the hand, with a recognition of Mar

could have believed this of me, that /
should be found with you, following you!
But, while l have spent long life in fight

MILLERsBURG. HOLMES THURSDAY,

was the probable ignorance of every one
but himself of the immediate cause of Mr..
Cartwright's death. He had not, it was
presumed, mentioned the unfeeling repulse
which he had received when, at the eleventh
hour, and as last resort, be had gone to
one from whom be had confidently expect
ed not only kind consideration, but prompt
relief; and SO the secret had died with
| him.
Mr.. Bancroft did not visit the house Of
mourning. He could not look upon the
distress which his own conscience charged
him with originating; but his heart was as
sailed with gloomy shadows.
There was no one to represent Mr.. Cart
wright in his business, which had to be
closed. An active, hard-working merchant,
he had succeeded, through many disadvan-
tages, in establishing trade that prose-
cuted with industry for few years, would
have given his family moderate fortune.
But he was stricken down in an inauspicious
moment. Serious losses occurred in the
settlement of his affairs and when all his
debts were finally paid, there was nothing
over for his family.
"Poor Mary CartwrightT7 said Mrs.
Bancroft to her husband, one day, about
six months after the death of Mr.. Cart
wright. 81 saw her at Mrs. Marvin's to
day. She gives music lessons to her daugh-
ter Helen. How changed she isl"
Mr.. Bancroft made no reply, and his
wife was in some doubt as to whether he
had really heard her remark.
"She says that her mother has never
been out of the house since her fathers
DEATH"
Still Mr.. Bancroft made no response
But how the words did smite him! All!
there was thorn in the memory that time
could never extract.
"There was not dollar left for the fami-
ly from poor Cartwright's estate, said fel-
low merchant
$50 l have heard"
Mr.. Bancroft answered with seeming
Indifference, but his heart quivered as if a
blow had been given.
alt is said that the failure to raise money
to lift one of his notes killed him!" said
another.
"People will say anything replied Mr..
Bancroft, with assumed GOODNESS.
Time moved steadily onward. The
seething spot on the surface of trade where
Mr.. Cartwright went down was obliterated
by the onward moving currents; and he
was scarcely remembered in the business
circle where once his busy face was a ia
miliar object.
But there was one man who could never
thrust aside his image; one man in whose
memory his presence was ranking thorn.
Many times had be tried to pluck out this
thorn by secret acts of kindness to the fami-
ly of Mr.. Cartwright. But the effort only
seemed to make the anguish more intense;
for the little he offered by stealth contrasted
SO poorly with the all sustaining life deeds
of husband and father that he was
shamed back into impotence.
The case was hopeless. The single act
of ankindness, so fatal in its consequences,
was done forever. 1t had gone beyond his
utmost reach, and there was no surgeon
skilled enough to extract the thorn it had |
left to rankle in his memory.

tS- The prospect for an early adjourn
ment of the Legislature appears to be about
as fattering as it was on the first Of January.
The House passed resolution several days
since, to adjourn on the 18th inst, but when
il come to be acted on in the Senate, that
body Of Nestors couldn't begin to think OF
putting it off that long, so one of the con-
servasors offered an amendment changing the
time to the Sth, but by some means or other
the resolution and amendment were both
tabled, and there they remain. The machine
ry of government must have been in wretch
ed bad order to require so much valuable la.
Dor to put it to rights again.
