lists wrote better than they knew. The
primitive churches comprehended him
but impesfectly. Paul, with all his pow.
er Of logic, did not comprehend that spirit
Of lsve; aud John felt that he knew him
not. The idea of Christ is progressive.
Like the glorious sunset on the prairie,
his perfection seems near to as, but as
we advance towards It, it still appears
just as distant as at first. The attainment
ofknowledge from teachers is not difficult
and we may often surpass our instructors.
But here Is One whom it is not so easy
to exceed. Thus we see the goodness and
wisdom Of God in affording this perfect
pattern. We must love this new life, for
its own sake, giving up everything Of the
old life, the right hand, the right eye, and
everything pertaining to sinfulness. Ho-
illness is more desirable, for it's own sake,
than sin, with all its attractiveness. We
are bound and obligated to walk in this
nswness of life by humanity, to which we
are inseperably connected; by Christ,
whose debtors we are; and BY God, BY
whom We are eternally beloved.

HypOcricy Of the Black Republicans.
They voted to Exclude Oregon because
she excluded Negro Voters and Re-
pudlated Negro Equality.

they are in favor of the admission of free

the admission of Mulatto States. aud vio-

FREE WHITE States as refuse to encourage
NEGRO EQUALITY. On the 18th of May,
1858, Oregon presented her constitution,

She had the population for member of
Congress, and the Democracy werc tor

king in of this free northern State was

It was opposed by the Black Republicans,
for the following reasons. to be found in

Mr. Fressenden, of Maine, said: by the

To Cure the Appetite for robaoco.

A clergyman who for many years was
addicted to the chewing and smoking OF
tobacco, but who has entirely abstained
from the weed for thirty years, communi-
Gates to the Isdspendsnt the method Of
cure which he adopted. We copy it,
hoping it will prove efectual in many
other cases:
II had a deep well Of very cool water
and whenever the evil appetite craved
indulgence, resorted Immediately te
fresh drawn water. OF this / drank what
I desired, and then continued to hold
water in my mouth, throwing out and
taking in. successive mouthfulls, until the
craving ceased. BY faithful adherence
to this practice for about month, wat
tcured, and from that time to this hav,
been as free from any appetite for tobacco
as q nursing infant. I loathe the use 0
the weed in every form, far more Than
Ibid before l contracted habits Of indul
gcnce."

~ To show how completely military
is the present government of France, the
following extract from On Englishman's
recent description Of Paris is equally
striking ard conclusive: ~
Paris is the microcosm Of France; nay,
essentially it is France. The city is al
together in tho grasp Of the army; on
army is quartered there; every ''coigne oI
vantage" is occupied by a barrack; every
street, gate, building, is grimly guarded
by armed men, there are underground
passages whereby troops can PASS from
point to point in silence and darkness, ter.
rible as doom. Fancy them. bearded an6

telcgraphs that rule Paris, and spread al
over France. converge there to the EN-
peror's bureau. He raises his finger ant
the blow is struck. An army devoted t.
him obeys him blindly, and France. from
Marseilles to Boulogne. from Strasbourt
to the Atlantic, knows that he and hi
armed soldiers are for the present irwin
cible-lords Of the land. So be it;
cannot last forever. A rule of fear an,
force is but robbcr or bandit govern

that the preacher meant them. On this

and proceeded something after this fash.
ion:
Even when you come to the house ol

on His word, or on heavenly or divine
things One of you for instance will be
thinking of your whaling ships, (the town
was whaling port,) and reckoning how
much oil they will bring in, and how much
money You will make out of it,
That's you, Deacon w. interposed
the butcher, in voice audible all over the
house.

be thinking of the house he is building and
contriving how he can slight his work, SC
as to make it more profitable
That's you, Deacon E., again broke il
the butcher.

with planning how he can sell mo.e of then
