Gods Love to Man,

Where shall we 60 for the manifesto.
ton of the tenderness, the sympathy, the
benignity of God? The philosopher leads
us to nature, its benevolent final causes,
and kind contrivances to increase the sum
of animal happiness, and there he stops,
with half his demonstration. But the
apostle leads us to the gift bestowed by
the Father for the recovery of mans in
tellectual and moral nature, and to the
cross endured by the Son, on this high be-
half. Go to the heavens, which canopy
man with grandeur, and cheer his steps
with successive light; 60 to the atmos-
phere, which invigorates his spirits, and
is to him the breath of life; go to the
smiling fields, deoked with verdure for his
eye, and covered with fruits for his sus-
tenance; go to every scene which spreads
beauty before his gaze, which is made
tremendously vocal to his ear, which fills
and delights the imagination by its glow
or its greatness. We travel with you, we
admire, we feel and enjoyewith you, we
adore with you, but stay not with you.----,
We hasten onward in search of demon
stration more convincing that "God is
love-" and we rest not till we press into
the strange, the mournful, the joyful
scenes of Calvary, and amid the throng Of
invisible and astonished angels, weeping
disciples and the hooking multitude, un-
der the arch of the darkened heaven, and
with the earth trembling beneath our feet,
we gaze upon the meek, the resigned, but
fainting sufferer, and exclain, "Herein is
love n herein, and nowhere else is it so
affectingly, so unequivocally demonstrated,
anot that we loved God, but that God
loved us, apd sent His Son to be the pro-
pitiation for our sins.--R. Watson"
CURE FOR WARTs.-Bathe the hand
having warts in warm water, dry. with q
soft towel, and touch the top Of each wart
only with aquafortis; knitting needle or
anything having small point will an
swer to take up u small drop sufficient for
each wart In a few days dead pellicle
will be formed on the top of the warts,
which will scale off when bathed in warm
water. When this is removed apply the
aquafortis again, and so on repeatedly, till
the entire wart is reduced to level with
the true skin. This mode is effective, and
without pain. The wart SO treated will
never come again but care must be la
ken that the aquatortis does not touch the
true skin about the wart, as it may blister
it. 80 .stsE

THE DIPTHERA SCoURGE IN WESTERN
ILLINoIs.-The diptheria has been raging
throughout the country to an alarming ex-
TENT and seems, to a great extent, to battle
the skill of the physicians. 1t is confined al
most exclusively to children, and when once
under Roadway, death is almost certain to be
the result. 1t will pass through whole towns
missing scarcely family, and in some instan-
ces whole families of children have been
swept away by it. Our neighboring town of
Moline, place formerly remarkable for
its healthiness, has been sadly affected
by this disease for the past four or five
months. In that time some one hundred
children have been swept off and it is still rag
ing to some extent. The parents in such a
time become terrified, and call their children
in and keep them housed up, hardly daring to
let them breathe the fresh air for fear the Tell
destroyer will take them away; but this prac-
tice has been proven to be the very worst one
for the little ones, being deprived of the ne
cessary exercise and fresh air, are almost
sure to be the next victims. We have noticed
that those children who are allowed to rough
it, in doors and out doors, just as they may de-
sire, are the ones who escape.--Roch Island

The WOMEN OF NAsHvLLE.-The deport-
ment of the women-the elegant, eloquent,
and bitter beautes-is not that of six months
ago. Then they were publicly scorntul, arro-
giant. 1t was no uncommon thing for them to
insult Union soldiers in the streets. Now
the real courtesy Of those who six short
months ago were brazen and defiant, is the
result of reflection aroused by feeling ap-
probation of the woes of war. Said an ele-
giant lady, once naughty, who confessed that
every male relative she had was in the rebel
army, sob! we would sacrifice all we possess
in the world for peace. The war was sad,
sad thing for all of us" There was Il touch
ing pathos in her voice and manner, that
proved hen wish soul-felt. She proceeded:
"When will there be peace?"
'When the rebels submit madam"
''rhey'll never do that"
''rhen therell never be peace. The north
ern people were ruthlessly forced into this war
to protect the government. They were Bit
terly reluctant to engage in it. They are the
conquering race, and your friends will learn
the bitter lesson"
Madam gazed as if she thought the declar-
alton was for effect, but finally asked, with
deep earnestness, "Do you realty mean what
you say"
'Most sincerely. We never will cease war
until you submit to the United States. The
Union must be preserved"
Tears gathered in her beautiful eyes as she
repeated her piteous story My brother fell
in Kentucky; my cousin, dear to me as my
brother, died of his wounds in Tennessee; the
dearest friends | had on earth fell at Donel-
son and Shiloh. | have drank bitter cups of
woe. | pray only for peace"
Others, less gentle by nature, are firm in
their declaration that the rebels will not sub
nit. A few haughtily boast that southern
gentlemen never will yield; but many--a
surprising number indeed-deprecate the woes
of war with most melancholy eloquence.

CoUNTERFEITING DEN IN PHILADELPHIA
VENTILATED.-The counterfeiting fraternity
in New York have repositories in various
parts of the country, equivalent to agencies,
where spurious money is supplied to distribu-
tors for twelve dollars and half to twenty
five dollars per hundred. The detectives have
received information from various parts of the
country concerning the matter. Persons ar
rested for uttering counterfeit money have de-
clared that their source of supply was No.
l4lI Brown street, Philadelphia, and that it
came in regular course through the town.
The house No. l4l7 Brown street is plain
dwelling with barroOm attached. Chief
Franklin describes it as the headquarters of
itinerat'ng counterfeiters in this city. Pick
pockets and thieves do not consort there. For
them there are other accommodations. Coun-
terfeiters claim to be grade above the prig
They usually possess better address and better
education, and conceive themselves entitled to
the ent1ee of society over whose threshold the
thief would not presume to cross. The male
and female boarders who transiently frequent
the house would pass current anywhere as re-
spectacle. Mrs Eliza jackson, the landlady, is
decent-looking woman of middle age. Five
detectives made ''descent' Tuesday. There
were no people In 1t at the time but Mrs.
Jackson. Her they invited to take seat, and
one officer watched her while the rest searched
the house. They were certain as to the re-
suit They foung the rag bag as described,
and in it was $l826 in spurious notes. She
was brought to the central police station, where
the money was overhauled. 1t comprised the
following batch Farmers bank of Hud-

burg, So, $l53; Bank of America, Provi-
dence, R. l., So, $3.50; Farmers and Me-

was, besides, 1912 so in Spanish gold, and
$50 so in silver coin. The whole batch was

PARsoN BRowNLow AND THE MErnoDI

LARSON BRowNLOw AND THE METHODIST
CHURCH SoUTH.-ParSon Brownlow, who has
returned for the time to Nashville, has issued
characteristic address to the people of Ten
nessee, in which, after disposing of some top
les of local interest, he pays a slight debt
which he owed to the Methodist annual con-
ference, recently held at Athens, in east Ten
nessee. The conference suspended their
Union preachers from the exercise of their
ministerial functions, and, the parson says,
issued to the rest a new gospel commission,
in effect as follows: $50 we into all the south
and preach jeff Davis to every creature.
He thinks the churches south are about played
out; and he warns the ministers of his own
church (Methodis) that he shall soon call
convention of the Union-loving and law-abid-
ing ministers and members of that church,
that they shall declare themselves the church,
claim the church property, and maintain their
title to it before the courts of the United
States. ''We shall go further"-the parson
assures them-''we will expel the rebels from
the church, under that chapter in the Wesley
an Discipline which requires obedience to the
powers that be- and ready and cheerful
obedience to the laws of the land!"

THE PROCLAMATION IN DIxIE.-The New

general commanding Union forces in Missis-

utility of the presidents proclamation of free
dom as weapon of war. The writer says
that southern society has been completely de-
moralized by it. Some planters have fled to
the cities for protection from the specter of
instruction, leaving all their movable pro-
perty at the mercy of their slaves. Many
others have sold their negroes south; all are
making the most strenuous efforts to keep the
proclamation from the knowledge of the slaves,
but without avail. Accounts from Arkansas

"ONE OF MY CLIENTS" -Ehe remarkable
article with this title in the last Atlantic
Monthly has attracted an unusual degree OF
attention. Its statements are SO wonderful
that they would hardly be credited by those to
whom the writer is unknown 1t is no secret,
we believe, that this article is written by a
lawyer in this city, of eminent ability, who is
as little liable to be deceived as any man with
whom we are acquainted, and who is quite in
capable of practicing upon the public creduli-

tory of the wine is quite simple. Mr.. Speer having
some property In New Jersey, turned his attention
to the cultivation Of the Sambucus tree imported
from Portugal. 1t bears fruit of the elder species
but more resembling grape, whose superior quality,
jueiness and richness in saccharne matter is unex-
celled by that of the Catawba. After numerous ex-
periments in fermentation, Mr.. Speer has produced
a wine which will immoraze his name and prove

SHoELEss BRIGADEs. = An officer in the
United States navy who has just been released
from several months captivity with the rebels,
says that while in Weldon three rebel brig
AIDES passed on their way to meet Gen. Foster,
who commanded the recent expedition of the
United States forces to Williamson; and
that of this brigade about one man in three
were provided with shoes; the others had pro-
vided themselves with substitutes in the shape
of raw hide, carpet, &C., which was tired on,
to prevent the soles of the feet from coming
in contact with the ground. One of our men
had with him, when captured an old pair Of
boot-legs, the soles of which, however, were
entirely gone; and as everybody in the south,
from JEFF Davis to the boot-blacks of Rich
mond, is amply provided with confederate
notes" the happy possessor of the boot-legs
had no difficulty is selling them for 1927 of the
valuable scrip.
