Religious Wants of a BUSY Life.

Social action, material enterprise and ag-
gressiye discovery, which are the grand
characteristics Of modern society, bring
along with them the hazard Of an irrelig-
ious selfreliance, skepticism about all that
is invisible and impaIpable to sense, and a
feverish propensity to judge everything by
its show and its returns. So the bulk of
our enterprise outgrows its strength ard
in the pride of all his pushing schemes,
and marvellous machinery, man comes to
esteem himself little less than critic of
Revelation and partnership with the Al
mighty, whom the Church of Christ ought
to consider herself much beholden to if he
condescends to say kind things of her, and
whom God himself cannot fail to covet as
an ally for SO much business and motion, if
indeed there is no other God than the sci
ence that pertects the engine, and the mo-
tive power that turns the factory Wheel
AS long as you preach to such man about
his stupendous capacity, and stimulate his
arrogant activity, he hears. But tell him
of the deep things Of God, of selfrenun-
ciation and repentance, of a cross and a
conservation, of silent worship and sol
emn faith, of resting in the Lord, and
waiting patiently for him-and you seem
to clash against his glorious career of ag-
grandizement. All the more do we need
this deep and stiller element in our piety
We want not only to work, but to believe
that God in Christ works, and with might
ier forces than we; works through and by
us, or without US, as he will and that VIC
are at best but inapt and incompetent in
struments in his hands. Be still and
know that | am God p-let our loud march
Of audacious civilization hearken to that

THE PATCHED OLD LADY.

The church was fashionably full.
From choir and altar went up loud voic-
ed praises to God. The organ rolled out
its mighty tones from lungs of brass.
There was futtering, rustling motion, as
of the moving of myriads of silks; the gen
tie breath of hundreds of fans, while soft,
white feathers, and rings, conspicuous un-
der their gloves, and tremulons laces, and
faint, sweet odors, attracted the eye, and
regaled the senses.
The preacher was in his pulpit-more
like a throne it was with his hangings of
lustrous damask, its tassels and fringes, and
cushions of crimson velvet. The Bible be-
fore him looked heavy with gold, and its
splendid leaves flashed at their edges as
they were turned oyer with reverent touch.
The pastors wife sat in the first pew-a
delicate, pretty looking woman, well-dressed
and much admired. From there, all along,
even to the door, beauty and wealth sits
intent on listening to the rich tones of the
pastor.
Farther along still, in corner pew, very
near the entrance, sits an old and faded
woman. Her bonnet and dress are black,
but quite shabby. Her gloves are mended
and her old shawl patched. Her face is
meek, sweet in expression, though very
much wrinkled. Her posture denotes great
humiliation, but as she listens to the words
of hope, tear now and then steals down

The Best Wealth,

The great struggle with civilized men in
this world is for wealth. This is called
the prime good, the one thing needful, the
great desideratum of life So men toll for
it sacrifice ease, comfort and health for it,
deceive, cheat, defraud for it. The truth
is the estimate put upon wealth is too high.
Its value, its good, is oYer-rated.- 1t is not
the great good. 1t is not the pearl of
great price. 1t is not the best thing man
can have. 1t does not confer peace of
mind, nor purity of heart heartfelt happi-
ness nor contentment, nor home JOY, nor
social blessedness, nor any of the solid and
enduring enjoyments.
Wealthy homes are not often happier
than those of the poor and comfortable
livers. Poverty is always an evil; but
fair supply Of the necessaries Of life is
quite as apt to confer real peace, as great
wealth. 1t is not gold nor goods, there
fore, that makes men really wealthy. The
best wealth is Of the heart, an enlightened
mind, loyal concience, pure affections lie
is wealthiest who has the largest stock of
wisdom, virtue and love-whose heart
beats with warm sympathies for his fellow
men, who finds good in all seasons, all
providences and all men. The generous
man who pities the unfortunate the pure
man who reslsts temptation the wise man
who orders we'll his life; the loving man
who clings closely to his family and friends;
the studious man who seeks instruction in
all things, are the trul y wealthy.

90 there's my dear old woman's house
that used to be shop you know. Now
you must go and see her.
So, true to his promise, the minister
sprang out, and Minnie, all eagerness, led
him in. An aged woman, very neat and
smiling, arose from desk where she was
writing, and welcomed them warmly.
| am not busy you see,' she said laying
down her pen, and forthwith she began to
talk of the last sabbath sermon, with a
beauty of language that quite astonished
the pastor.
1t is very strange have not seen you

But where did you sit?

venient that | believe, as l have made up

: Is not this too much said the pastor,
taken quite by surprise.
It's the Lords, said the old lady; do
with it for him, as it seemeth to thee
good
The visit was one of prolonged, of unex-
pected interest The old lady repeated
parts of the history of her life She had
been wealthy, learned and ambitious wom-
an. Her place had been in courts, and
about royalty But terrible reverses had
chastened and elevated her spirit. and she
had brought ambition, learning, and what
little wealth she had, and laid them at the
foot Of the cross. Never did the pastor
enjoy richer intellectual or spiritual
feast.

tinued for many months to attend the So
ciety under Mr.. Ivers, then the summer

Prepared for Accidents.-A gentleman
in this city, who takes an occasional drive
with his family, always goes provided with
powder and ball to shoot his horse in the
event of a runaway This is singular,
but certainly very wise, precaution. lie
got the idea from gentleman residing
few miles out of New York, who, driving
home one night last summer, with his wife
and two children in the carriage, was pla-
ced in imminent danger by an unmanage-
able horse, which had taken fright at
lantern on the roadside. In attempting to
hold the afrighted animal the lines broke,
and the horse dashed off at break-neck
speed. Fortunately, the gentleman be-
thought himself of revolver in his side
pocket, and, drawing it, shot the horse
through the head The animal staggered
and fell, The occupants of the carriage
were thrown out, but escaped without seri-
GUS injury.-Lafoyette Courier.

Male and Female Butchers-A terrible
affair happened recently at Shellbark, Tex,
as. A Mr.. Stephenson sold piece of land
to General Bishop, and after the purchaser
had made improvements on the land Ste
phenson wanted to get it back for the same
amount he had been paid for it, but his
proposition was refused by Bishop. This
incensed Stephenson, and accordingly he,
with his wife, son, and daughter, went to
General Bishops house, where they found
young Bishop sick in bed. The wife and
daughter held the sick man down while
young Stephenson literally cut him to pie
ces with knife, killing him almost imme-
diately. While this was going on, General
Bishop knocked out the eye of the elder
Stephenson with a hatchet. The Stephen
sons were arrested

The Papal Bull of Accommodation

The text of the bull of excommunica-
ton launched by the Pope against the Sar-
dinian Government is published in the for
eign papers That is the only govern
ment named in the document, but others
are glanced at in the passage, All those
who, an the remOtest degree, have partici-
pated in those deeds (the absorption ofthe
Romagna into the new Kingdom Of Cen
trail Italy, and also the successors in their
offices are liable to such revocation, retrac-
ton, abrogation, and abolition of the above
mentioned sins, to do SO personally, in re-
ality, and in truth, and to give the full
satisfaction they owe to the Holy See, and
under no pretence to be released and freed,
but to always remain bound by it until
they are worthy to obtain the benefit of
absolution this we declare by the present
letter. The document is of formidable
length. Is this excommunication to be re-
garded as a corroboration Of what Lord
Macaulay says, in his essay on Ranke's
History Of the Popes, ,-'She (the Church
of Rome) still confronts hostile kings with
the same spirit with which she confronted
Attila ? A laughable hoax seems to have
been successfully practised by some wag
in Paris on the Steele, in anticipation OF
the Papal bull,-namely, sending it the
grotesque malediction in Iristrama Shan
dy, which Dr. Stop reads while 'my Uncle
Toby whistles Lillebullero.' Some OF
the other Paris papers fell into the trap,
and republished the Siecle's version, un-
conscious of the deception.

There are many devils who walk this world,
Devils great and devils small,
Devils with tails and devils without
Devils who whisper, devils who shout,
Devils who mystfy, devils who teach,
Devils who pray and devils who preach,
But the lying devil, who takes his perch,
On the highest seat in the highest church,
And makes his religion the means and ends
For concealing his guilt and betraying his friends
And affects devotion his soul abhors,
His morality squaring by statue laws,
Is the shabbiest devil of ALL

Another Southern SiGre DeciSioa A
case has been decided in the United States
Circuit Court Of Alabama, at Mobile, in
which the main question arose as to the
validity of the title of purchaser of ne
groes illegally brought to this country and
sold to him The court decided that the
offence was not indictable under the laws
Of the United States 1t held that feder-
al jurisdiction extended over slaves pre-
cisely as in case Of any other property, and
SO long as unbroken merchandise arrives
in unbroken bulk, the federal jurisdiction
extends over it; but so soon as the cargo
is broken and the merchandise dispersed
among the several purchasers, it can only
be reached by process of the State Courts.
Hence, whatever laws Congress may enact
against the original importer Of African
slaves, they cannot be made to apply to
the purchaser who acquired the property
within the limits and by the laws of an in
dividual State.
According to this, negro is not like
other property, stolen merchandise, but
only becomes SO when it escapes into free
states. Verify niggerdom is hard run
even in judicial decisions.

Terrible CALAMITY-Three Persons
Burned to Deoth.-On the prairie, about
ten miles west Of Amboy, Ill, farm
house, owned by Mr.. Kelley, caught fire ON
Saturday night, and was burned TO the
ground, consuming three of its inmates
This terrible calamity can only be account
ed for by the igniting of live Goals in an
ash pan, which was placed near back
kitchen. About halfpast nine o'clock on
Saturday night, Mr.. Kelley and his wife,
who slept on the first floor, were aroused
from sleep by the noise Of the burning
kitchen. This is about all the account Of
the matter that can be given, save that the
children, young lady of seventeen, two
boys of about nine and six, were awakened
and brought down stairs, only to be smoth-
cred in the smoke and consumed in the de-
vouring flames, so that nothing but a few
bones were left Mrs. Kelley's account Of
the affair is that she went up stairs, arous-
ed the ch ,ldren and young lady, told them
to follow her, and that they did so until
they got into bed room, intending to get
out at window; that the flames cut her
off from the children, and knocked her
down insensible; she did not recover un-
til she found herself sitting on the ground
near the house. Mr. Kelley and bis son,
young man who was quite sick, narrowly
escaped, they hardly know how, consider
ably burnt Every article of clothing,
bedding and furniture in the house was
destroyed. The funeral OF the three that
met so sudden and untimely death took
place at Dixon on Monday afternoon. The
father mother and son who so narrowly es-
capped are at Dixon, where they have
friends.-Amd0y (W.,l Times.
