For the Spirit of the Age.
Our Life, What is it?

Human life in general seems to be
continued monotony, interspersed with
many incidents, more or less thrilling, &C
cordiug to circumstances. In general we
repeat to-day what we acted out on yes
terday, and very likely by tomorrow the
same scenes will be re-enacted. This is
especially true in regard to those who re-
main in the same place from day to day,
and whose avocation admits of but little
variety. We rise in the morning-we
reakfast-exercise in some way-we dine
and take no further exercise-we sup-and
retire for the might've sleep until morn
ing-and then repeat the scenes we passed
through the day previous. This, of course,
is monotonous-an was it not that custom
makes almost anything agreeable, we would
cease to enjoy those very things upon
which our lives depend. But wise and
benevolent Creator has so ordered it that
although our natures require constant
change in some respects, yet we never un-
der any circumstances lose relish for those
things upon which our lives depend
We eat until nature revolts at the very
idea of partaking of any more, and yet il
few hours sense of hunger returns with
its demands for food, which but few hours
before it loathed. We lie down upon on
couch, fatigued and exhausted with the la
bors of the day, and when the morning
light returns we are as eager to rise and en-
gage in the active duties of life as we wer
the day previous.
Such is life in every day concernment.

But such is not all of life No, it extends
far beyond this present time ;.yes, it reach
es into the cycles of an interminable eter-
nifty. And what will our life be immor-
tally9 Ii our existence viii be eternal, our
moral condition must be shaped and moul-
ded by what our associations were in this
state of probation. This is an important
question for every immortal being to put
to himself-If the Creator and Upholder
of the universe is my friend it will be we'll
-if not my immortality viii only be com
mensurate with my wretchedness. How
dreadful the idea that in very short pc
riod We must enter on state of existence
which will be neverending- -and yet
fraught only with misery, Of which, rat the
present time, &c aa1net has1 any adequate
1oncepass. -sm1 be painful reflection
to those who passed through this life, catch.
ing at its bubbles and gew-gaws only, and
neglected those things upon which then
happiness depended how dreadful
the idea that millions of our race are pass
ing through life, feeling no serious concern
for the realities of future state? But il
is the depravity of our race by nature
which is rendered still more so by practice
that Notwithstanding all the denunciations
of the moral law against sin in every form
and in every degree, thousands are posting
on to an eternal world as unconcerned as
though this present life comprised all o.
our existence. The realities Of eternity
only will convince such of their consum
mate folly, when their bitter wailings and
cries will be utterly unavailing. Oh un
rePenting, unrelenting sinner, why persist
in course which reason, conscience and
revelation assures you will terminate in
eternal woe! Now the Gospel of mercy
and salvation is sounding in your ears
the redeemer of the world is pleading his
merits and his atonement for sin before
His Fathers throne, in behalf of those He
came into the world to redeem. His Min
listers are urging upon our acceptance thi.
blood-bought boon-and yet we turn {
deaf ear to these things, and reject ever
with disdain these inestimable blessings
which Heavens King hath graciously
vouchsafed to US hell-deserving Sinners
Alas alas! our punishment will be as jus
as it will be sure. But Gods throne will
be guiltless, and his attributes of Justice
Mercy Holiness and Truth, vindicated be
fore an assembled universe. R.

to me from the ground"
1t is a fearful thought that the first hui
man death of which we have any record
was death by violence death by MUIR
der-and that by brothers hand.
But | cannot dwell on this thought
Yet does one ask me whether do not
overstep the bounds of propriety-wheth-
er do not trench on the prerogatives of
the civil tribunals, when I even infer con-
cerning our departed brother that his was
death of violence, inflicted by another's
handa ] do not accuse here any, man of
the wilful murder of this my friend. /
have my own opinion as to the probable
agency that Immediately caused his death.
But as Gods messenger, cite to answer
at Gods tribunal every man who, knowing
the weaknesses of the departed, acted 9TH
er than brothers part towards him
Beloved friends-It would be false
charity-a tenderness which would indeed
be weakness, not say chargeable with un-
faithfulness to God and to man, were / to
seek to cover up the past. Had the his
tory of the deceased during the past few
months been hitherto concealed, it would
not be my part to give it publicity. Glad
ly would /, if dared, initiate those rever-
cnt loving sons, who, with a garment laid
on both their shoulders, walked backwards
and covered up their fathers shame. Nc
man in this community, (save, possibly
those nearest of kin,) loved E. 7. Sterling
more than | loved him. None admired
more his noble qualities. None, perhaps
was under greater obligations to. his gener
osity than myself. When death, once and
again, entered my household, his brotherly
Isympathy offered me not only consolation
but resting place for the remains of my
own loved dead. By the graves of my owr
children, in his own burial place, / stood or

ing him! | will speak as he flor | knew

speak. God give me grace to be faithful
E. T. Sterling was one of the founder
of this church. He was peculiarly it
largest benefactor. He gave not only hi
money, but his time, his thoughts, his watch
ful care to its well being. Twelve year
ago, under the ministry of the first Recto
of St. Paurs, he professed in Holy Baptism
to be Christ's disciple, and the tongue de
serves to be forever palsied which shoul
charge him with having made that profes
sion in wilful hypocrisy. When | frs
knew him, almost seven years ago,
thought had seldom seen his equal in a
that makes the high minded, liberal, chris
tian gentleman. He was warden of thl
church, a regular and faithful teacher in tn
Sabbath school, an exceedingly punctus
attendant on all the services of the sanctr
ary. His hand was ever open to the caus
of Christ, and to the relief of his poor.

For the Spirit of the Age.

Mr.. EDITOR: The above question has
been asked by persons, seemingly as
were asking ss45 faE Rlfs 5itee
should live to the years of mat
out seeing the horrible effects which,
upon those who drink it as beverage; and
five were to try to point out to them the
evils arising from its use, it would be in
vain. For illustration, look at neighbor-
hood where liquor is drank to excess, we
see that it destroys everything that is pros
porous, it destroys the social ties, peace and
comfort of the home circle, it destroys the
peace between father and mother between
father and son, between brother and sister,
between neighbor and neighbor, and in
fact it destroys everything of social ma
ture. Liquor makes rich men poor, strong
men weak, healthy men sickly, wise men
fools, wives widows, and children orphans.
1t has sent thousands of gray-headed ia
theirs and mothers to the tomb in sorrow,
it has caused many loving sisters heart
to bleed in despair, "and destroyed more
lives than war, famine and pestilence."
But there is an old gentleman in the
land who tells men that liquor can do no
harm. Yes, he tells men that there is no
harm in making, selling, or drinking
Now, who is this old gentleman? By a
close examination we find him to be the
same being who once tempted our Savior
he is the one who says liquor does nc
harm, and he is an experienced fisherman
and prepares his hooks with skill, and
catches as many with that hook baiteo
with R. G. Whiskey, as all the rest.
And this same old gentleman has schools
and Colleges placed all over the land, bu
he is not particular about his students for j
takes some from all classes to keep up hi
institutions. We see man enter tn
school of the moderate drinker, with healtl
and prosperity beaming upon his check
but enters that school where he is to b
prepared for the grog-shop, or as we ma,
term it the drunkards college; by and b
we see him enter that college where he
to be prepared for all the duties of a mis-
cradle life, where he is to be prepared t
execute any crime. There is none, no, nc
one too black for him. After few shol
months he has graduated, and our mind
set to thinking where will be his next plac
but ah! he enters upon course in tn
bottomless pit of hell, there to practice h
horrible profession over among all the los
and damned in eternal punishment Thos
who build upon the intoxicating cup, bull
upon rotten and faulty foundation, whic
will sink down with them to eternal pul
ishment.
Wine drunken in secret is sweet an
pleasant, but those who drink it are NJ
aware that the devil is in it, tempting an
drawing them down to eternal punishmen
1t is sweet to the lips and to the taste, b
the deceitfulness thereof will end in etern
! punishment. 1t is an instrument by whit
the devil works-for when man takes tt
E intoxicating cup he leaves the paths
uprightness and peace to walk in the pat
y of misery and darkness which will end
eternal Punishment. The whole course
/ the dlunkard is as darkness which will le
: down TO eternal error and punishment.
