Az well as Lesser props-snd sleepers.

Who cheered affections weary way,
And gave tn oppressed advice-and dollar

For be d baptized one half the past,
And all the present generation.
Outside the church, the good man held
A comprehensive supervision,
And village qu.dpunce were compelled
To bow before bis calm decision.
Though party etrife might rage and swell,
Or skep les raise some kDotty questions,
There came no storm be could not qael,
No doubt too grave for his digestion.
/ DO remember we'll the scene,
When. all the copgregat'o on seated,
He closed the book with reverent mien,
And twice the pregnant text repeated
And then. as Influenced from above,
His heart with holy themes expanding,
Appealed TO Faith and Christian Love,
As well as human understanding.

As he, in strong but homely phrase,

With furtive stores Of scandal laden.

And steel tobacco box together.
Those genial times were mellow ripe,
When folks were not inclined to bicker,
If ministers enjoyed pipe
And slipped social glass Of hquor;,
So while his cheerful features glo we'd,
And smoke.wreaths circled 10 the ceiling,
His talk in streams of wisdom flowed,
Like waters from fount Of healing.
We loved the man, revered him, too
As who did not that ever knew him2

With cords Of love, all clasees to him.

To make our sorrowing hearts beat faster,
For memory holds a secret crypt

70 PIP. sCl. Robert Carer Brothers
In discussing the subject to which this work is de-
voted the author has attempted to steer middle course
between the theory which traces all knowledge judg
ments and maxms to observation and experience and
that which asserts the existence of IDEAS truths prnc
PIES originating in the native energy of the mind and
seen by its inward light. The conclusion, at which he
aIives ia that there primary perceptions and fun
damental laws Of belief Inherent in the natuss Of the
mind but they are different from the character often
ascrbed to them by philosophical writers and by no
ears fitted 10 accom- pish the purposes claimed for
them ia meaphy seal and theological speculation. In
the course Of hs argument be finds occasion 10 oonsd
er the principal problems Of metaphysics and although
be evidently shrinks from the attempt to establish
doemaiic system, his crticisms the most eminent
leaders Of modern speculation, are often acute, and
wsyssuggestive.

The Presidents Message.

Knowing the anxiety of our readers to see
the Presidents Message at this critical period
of our national history, we publish, to-day,
to the exclusion of our usual variety, that
portion of the Message which refers to our
domestic difficulties. 1t is not our purpose
to %criticise or comment upon this document.
We leave every reader to do that for himself.
We only regret that, when called on, as the
!" Waterman" of old, 10 "tell Of the night"
we cannot respond as did he, and point to
some bright star as the promised day of
Israel" All is yet gloom and uncertainty i;

Child Angsls-Their Early Going Home

Benjamin +. Taylor, of the Chicago Jour-
nal, dilates thus eloquently and f~eelingly up
on the death Of a child:
1t went in the morning. bright and ra-
diant morning; many went yesterday, more
to-day, and there are tears to be shed for the
departures Of tomorrow. And can il be

should beguile them into going? Is it a
marvel that they do not wait for the burden

her song over the rim of the rainbow? That

1t appears, from the proceedings of that
body, that on the 31st of May, 1887, the
clause, authorizing an exertion of the force
of the whole against a delinquent State
came up for consideration-Mr. Madison op-
posed it in a brief but powerful speech, from
which | shall extract but a single sentence.
He observed: The use of force against a
State would look more like a declaration of
war than an infection of punishment and
would probably be considered by the party
attacked as a dissolution of all previous COM
pacts by which it might be bound Upon
this motion the clause was unanimously
postponed, and was never | believe again
presented. Soon afterwa ards, on the 9Th
June, 1887, when incidentally adverting to
the subject, he said ANY Cover nment for
the United States, formed on the supposed
practicability of using force against the un-
constitutional proceedings OF the States,
would prove as visionary and fallacious as
r the governmental Congress- evidently mean
ing the then existing Congress of the old
Confederation
E Without descending to particulars, it may
e be safely asserted, that the power to make
D war against a State, is at variance with the
whole spirit and intent of the Constitution.
= Suppose such a war should result in the con
quest of a State, how are we to govern ii
: afterwards? Shall we hold it as a province,
and govern it by despotic power? In the
d nature of things we could not, by physical
force, control the will of the people, and
compel them to elect senators and represen.
t tatives to Congress, and to perform all the
n other duties depending upon their own vo.
lition, and required from the free citizens o.
Y a free State as a constituent member of the
r Confederacy.

be wise to exercise it under existing circum
