THOUGHTS ON RELIGION.

-ll L
It signifies nothing to say We will not
change our religion, if our religion
change not Us.
If man lives and dies mere profess
sor, it had been better for him If be had
lived and died mere heather.
It is not. talking bat walking with
God, that gives a man the demonstration
of Christian.
Darkness may as well put on the name
of light, as wicked man the name Of =
Christian.
It is our main business in this world.
to secure the happiness of the next.
A desire of happiness is naturali =
desire Of holiness is superneturaf,
Fonr tbingsa Christian should es7s-
cially labour after, namely, to be hum
BILE, thankful, watchful, and cheerful.
If we would not fall into things un-
lawful, We must sometimes deny our
selves in those that are lawful.
Religion must be our business, then IS
will be our delight.
Tne gate which leads to life is .
straight gate. therefore We should fear /;
it is an open gate, therefore We should
hope
Do the Lords work in the Lord's
time-pray while God hears; hear while
God speaks believe while God promises;

THE WAY A CH1NAMAN FIGHTS.

a letter from China says:
EE.-a-.l-have seen the arms used by the
Chinese ia the fight at the stormiig of
the forts at the mouth of the Pei Ho.-
The first sight of them shows the utter
helplessness of this vast Empire of three
hundred aud fifty millions of popula-
tiop, when it comes in contact with Eu-
ropean science aud arms aud discipline
on the battlefield. They remind me of
the scenes of my boyhood, when all the
LADS of my country village were armed
with wooden guns, furnished with wood.

they could not fire. They are ignorant
of the rife and percussion cap, and even
of the flint once used in its place. The
gun is a matchbox, aud of such formida
BILE dimensions and weight. as to need
wheels to carry it, insl cad of their own
shoulders. 1t is almost impossible to
raise and level it, such is its weight
and often another man, kneeliug before
him who loads and fires, bears the end
of the gun upon his shoulder, in the hap
py consciousness that if the enemy choose
to kill him instead of the soldier at the
other cnd of the gun he is Innocent of
any mans blood aud could not but be-
And those matchlocks they are worthy
OF q place in any antiquarian museum
"Almost would the old knight Tenn
plars of Malta start up again should
these matchbox guns be placed in the
gallery beside their armor. The mach
lock in cumbersomness is fairly In keep
ing with the barrel and stock; some in
fammable material which is kept burn
ing, taking the place of flint in com
mon gun, and coming down like the tail
of comet when the TEDIOUS process
f loading is completed. Then there is
the spear, not to be used by the hand in
fight, hut slender, aud armed with an
iron point, and fred with rockets Then
comes the battle.axe, not heavy, and
easily welded by the hand, but useless,
except in close contact, and then power
less compared With the sword and the
bayonet. Their cannon are either sunk
in the earth and pc, manently leveled,
or else mounted on carriages which pro-
vide for no elevation or no depression of

of the steam gunboats came within range

CIngc,l,s Circular .overtooxed.-

CIagctf,s Circular Oserto ON d ~
The Ha,pkeye, in speaking Of the recent
Circular issued by the Burlington Gazette,
says;
Every intelligent man is satisfied, and
Justice" the author of the string OF false
hoods published in the Gazette of Wednes-
day morning, must be, that the statements In
that communication, furnished BY Clhgett,
himself, are totally false. Democrats have
looked over the record in the Clerks Office
and find that instead Of ten cases being from
Judge loves Court, al of the thirty three
are from Clagett's Court, just as we stated
that instead of all but four Of the crimi-
nal cases being for violations of the liquor
law, there's but single one from this coun-
ty, and so on to the end Of the chapter.
As this lying article 10 printed in the form
OF circular and scattered broadcast over
the country, and as Clagett 10 making speech
es IN various places, embodying that same
taase statement, we caution the people every
where to be on their guard against imposi.
ton. We consider the man who would cir
oalase this string OF falsehoods, knowing it
to be uush, no better than the uttersr Of
spurious bank paper, and the man who would
invent such hodge pGdge Of impudent and
hrazcn mendacity and thrust Ii in the face OF
an Intelligent people, unfit to fill any Office
OF trust, much less the important Judicial
position for which be il candidate.
