The Great Revival in Sweden.

\ late number Of the London Quarterly
Review contains an historical sketch OF
the remarkable revival in Sweden, brief
notices Of which had been given from time
10 time, and tiom which We compile the
following:
Scarce any means have been employed
besides the circulation Of tracts and the
reading Of the Scriptures Owing to the
peculiar regulation OF the lutheran Church,
the Swedish people were only acquainted
with a small portion Of the Bible, and thus
1t had the freshness of new book. Small
meetings Ior prayer and reading, almost en-
tlreiy by laymcn, were everywhere largely
attended. The lowest estimate places the
number Of converts, or as they are termed
in Sweden readers at 250,C00 out Of a
population of 100000. The morality of
these people is remarkable. Drinking has
50 decreased, that two thirds Of the distIl-
lcries have been closed since 1886.
In the parishes bordering on Russia,
where nearly every man is guilty Of SNUG
Cling, hundreds of persons refunded the
duties of which they had dcfraudcd the
government. Many sold their property to
obtain the money, and others who could
not raise the sum at once discharged the
debt by iLstalments. The pcTplexed off
GERS Of customs laid the matter before the
king, who decided that the proceeds should
be distributed among the poor. The aver
age number of lawsuits has decreased from
$500 to three, four, and six. In villages
once remarkable for their profanity, not an
oath is heard, and the Bible aud sermons
have replaced low literature to such an ex-
tent that the book sellers only keep relig-
ious works The awakening has pervaded
all classes, and is extending among the no.
bility and the wealthy.
Instances Of sudden conversions are
not frequent, aud the divine impulse had
been so irresistibly felt in the midst Of sec
ular arrangements or in the streets, as to
lead the people to fall on their knees and
cry for mercy. In other instances, persons
have been compelled to retire from parties
overcome with emotion and penitential tears,
which contrasted strangely with their splen-
did dresses aud jewels. No such revival
has ever before been known in Sweden.
1t may be said that there is scarcely
church or congregation there which has
not felt IT. IT; power-scarceiy community
- h found v-h;~h 10 not contributed to

swell the number of those who are hoping
in Christ An awakening so wonderful
as this may we'll cause Christians here to
to rejoice, to take courage, and to continue
with increased faith in their iabors for
the perishing.

Scriptures denomiuated the heart. With
the heart man believes;' with the heart he
obeys and to the heart the Holy Spirit di-
Eccts his appeals.
No true religious knowledge can ever
reach the understanding except through
the heart. Love and obedience, willing
subJectlon OF the heart to Christ, IS the
/ first step in Christian life and then and
not before, true light will break into the
understanding-warm, living, life e-givinr

Darkness
Mary's heart was right when she sat at
the feet OF Jesus: and she loved and en-
joyed the light which he shed around him.
The understandings Of the Pharisees were
net at fault, while their hearts hated and
fed from the same light. With minds
full Of religious knowledge, they sat in

We often hear addresses from the pul-
pit, learned, logical, and sound, but so cold
and Eieless that the heart is perfectly un
affected. Such preaching is an attempt to
lnvert the order of the Christian warfare.
With the heart man contends with his
Maker The heart is the great rebel, not
the head. The heart is supreme: the un-
derstanding is subordinate and is dragged
withegsoever the heart dictates. Let that
rebel, and all that is in rebellion let that
be captured, and all is brought into captiv

Horrible Murder.

Aldrich, q convict, who had Just served
out a term of five years in the Virginia
Penitentiary, for killing a man in Logan,

arriving in Logan county, found that his
family had moved across the river to War
field, Lawrence county, Va. The Kama

He followed them. He murdered his
sister in the most shocking manner, liter
ally cutting her to pieces, and then throw
ing the body into Sandy river. The body
Of his son, lad Of about thirteen years
old, was found in a by-placo nearly eaten
up by the hogs-but was readily identified
by remarkable scar, on one foot, which
had been preserved by the shoe and stock

OF these horrid deeds, the iend, with his
gun in hand, fled to the woods, saying that
he intended to kill his father and mother
and two other persons-and then the peo,

or do what they pleased with him. The
excited people are now after him.

A Grave Without a Monument.

The sea is the largest of cemeteries, and
all its slumbcrers sleep without monu-
ment. All other grave yards, in all lands,
show some symbols Of distinction between
the great and small, the rich and the poor:
but in that ocean cemetery the king and
the clown, the prince and the peasant, are
alike undistinguished The same wave
rolls over all-the same requiem, by the
minstrelsy of the ocean, is sung to their
honor. Over their remains the same storm
beats and the same sun shines; and there
unmarked, the weak and the powerful, the
plumed and the unhonored, will sleep on,
until awakcd by the same trump, the sea
will give up its dead

The Lake Fleet,

The Detroit Tribune in a late issue pre-
sents a full list of the vessels from the
Great Lakes, which are now engaged in
the European and coasting trade. The
list comprises ffty-seven vessels Of an aver
age capacity of three hundred and seven
teen tons. We know Of nothing which
more plainly marks the enterprise Of our
countrymen than the rapid increase Of the
tonnage on the Lakes, and the total disre
gard Of distance and danger evinced by
such men as the captain of the little
schooner lately announced as having ar
rived at Constantinople from Chicago.
The aggregate capacity of these vessels
IS l8,O65 tons. The Tribune says that in
quries for vessels to load for Liverpool,
Cadiz, Charleston, &c, are now quite com
mon, and it adds, ifthis had been predic

A Funeral Train Sh'ucL dy Lightnipg

near Baltimore on Wednesday afternoon,
during heavy fall Of rain. A funeral
train started with the body of an infant,
for the purpose of interment at a private
burial ground in the country The car

vivid flashes of lightning played near them
with fearful effect. The last hack, in which
several ladies were seated, was strn.,s and
considerably shattered, mist the occu-

At the late Ameri"~, Scientific
Convention, Prof Tobn tout raad
d per on the phenomena presented by
the Silver Spring in Marion county,
Florida Although the optical phenome-
ma of this spring had been greatly exag-
gerated, yet he found, on paying visit
last December, that it was sufficiently Won
derful. While it was reported to be two
hundred feet deep, a careful measurement
showed it to be only thirty feet. On a
clear and calm day the view from the side
of boat is beautiful beyond description.
Every feature of the bottom is as clear as
if there was no water above it, but only
the clear air. The bottom is thlckly cov-
cred with luxurious vegetable growth, de-
yeloped by the large amount OF sunlight
which penetrates there. Objects beneath
the surface of the water, viewed oblique-
ly, appear surrounded by prismatic hues.
The beholder seems to be looking down
from some high point upon truly fairy
scene.
