A FEW NUTS FOR THEOLOGIANs
TO CRACK.

TO CRACK.
1. IF death is the gate that admit!
the christian to endless bliss in Heav
en-, why does he try to keep it shut a:
long rs he ean2
2. IF all men 60 to their reward o,
punishment at death, what is the use
of a judgment to come q?
8. IF the penalty for sin is endless
torment, ard Christ suffered the pen
atty, how can he be now in heaven at
the right hand of God?
4. If eternel misery is the wages of
sin, how can it ever be paid, or justice
ever satisfied ? .....
5. If Christ came to reward every
man according to his works, how can
they get their reward before he comes?
6, If the world is to be converted
before Christ comes to judgment, how
is it that the wheat and tares grow to
gether until the harvest =?
~. 7. If Christ and his risen saints arc
to reign on the earth and all its morta |
inhabitants are destroyed, where are
the subjects of his kingdom ?
s. If none but immortal saints dwell
on earth during the millennium, and
they neither marry nor are given in
marriage, how can the sucking child
play on the hole of the asp, or the
weaned child put his hand on the cock,
trices den ? s..s.
9. If the kingdom of Christ is not to
have increase after it is set up at ad-
vent why is it compared to leayen, to
a grain Ct mustard seed, and to stone
cut out of q mountain without hands,
that is to fill the whole earth !?
10 IF Immediately after Christ comes
and the destruction of all his enemies
there is to be no more pain, sorrow
sickness, or death, how is it that at the
end of a thousand wears the wicked
dead are raised out of the new earth
and suffer the penalty of the second
death in the lake of fire ?
IL. If the thousand years reign Of
Christ and his saIats is in the past. -
some con tend and lasted through the
Papal persecution, how 10 sc know but
his future reign may be Of the same
nature, or deficient to and as little to
he desired ?
12 If the wicked dead have no rtsur-
rection to condemnation no. can thew
suffer the second death in tho lake OF
fire?
13. If God does not mean what he
says in his word, and has given US nc
infallible guide to spiritual interpr.
tation of it, how is it possible for u.
to know and believe the truth and be
saved !?
Ifany of your correspondents with
good teeth will crack these thirteen
nuts and produce the kernel, We shall
feel truly grateful and will furnish a
a few moro to exercise their talents up
on. I have tried hard to crack these
nuts, but confess my utter inability
and want to be lit out Of the dark.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOwN.-After the re-
freshing showers OF yesterday, there is some
satisfaction in visiting the business localities OF
the town, although there is but little doing,
comparatively. The coal trade continues sus-
pended, the wharves and docks usually so
lively at this season, are almost entirely desert
ed. The mills continue to operate receiving
their supplies OF grain, Notwithstanding the
which prevents the reception Of supplies of
coal at the docks. The grain supply bY canal
is principally shipped from landings this side
OF Harper's Ferry.
Arrivals at Forrest HaI-Last night the
arrivals at Forrest Hall were quite numer-
GUS. A company of the 131st Ohio, escorted
one hundred and fifty. five deserters, stragglers,
&c, from Fort McHenry to Georgetown, and
took leave of them at Forrest Hall, where they
were accommodated. Philadelphia and Har-
risburg sent squads OF about thirty each Of the
same sort, and few arrived from various
other places. 1tappears that this prison, which
Is now undergoing repairs and refitting tor the
comfort of its military patrons, is growing in
popularity.
Sudden Deah.-Hugh Salisbury, tanner
and currier, in the employ of Mr.. A. Eliason,
was taken to the station house about o'clock
yecterday by officers Thomas and Leishear.
He was suffering with CONFUSION supposed
was called to attend him, and pronounced his
disease congestion of the brain. He was taken
to his boarding house in Cherry alley, where
he died about O'Clock.

DENT "

DENT.
The 164th Ohio regiment, Col. ]. P. Lee COM
manding, passed through the city this after
noon on their way home-their term of service
having expired.
On their way down the avenue they entered
the grounds of the Presidential Mansion, and
paid their respects to the President.
The line being formed in front of the portico,
the President made his appearance and was in
troduced by Col. Lee, and after an air from the
band, the President made a few remarks, in
which he said
Soldiers-You are about returning to your
homes and friends after serving, as under
stand, a comparatively short time in the pres
ent struggle. I am obliged to you and to all
who have engaged in the service Of their coun-
try.
wish it was better understood tn an it is, ha
this contest is about. Wehave great free Gov
eminent where every one has right to be equal
with his neighbor In the pursuit OF whatever
will contribute to his happiness. There is IN
volved in this struggle whether my children,
and your children, and our children's children
shall continue to enjoy the privileges and i'm.
munities which this Government affords us.
Let no small matter divert you from what is
the real issue Of the conflict Rise mp, where.
ever you 60, ss men worthy of the liberty you
have enjoyed, and which you are determined
to maintain.
The President concluded by returning thanks
for the compliment paid him, and retired amid
cheers.
This regiment constitutes a part of the hun
dred days men, and were last stationed at
Fort Corcoran. They have had rather a mo.
notonous time, and seem DESTROYS to see more
of the ways OF war. to which end a majority
of them will re. enlist.
