THE BEGINNING. Can any man tell me
when the beginning was9 Years ago we
thought the beginning Of this world was
when Adam was upon it; but We have
discovered, that thousands Of years before
that, God was forming chaotic matter to
make tit abode for man, and putting
races Of creatures upon it, that they might
die and leave traces Of His handiwOrk and
marvellous skill, ere He tried His hand on
man. But this was not the beginning,
for revelation points to a period long ere
this world was fashioned-to the days
when the morning stars were begotten; /;
when, like drops Of due from the fingers,
the morning stars and consultations fell
trickling from the hand Of God; when by
His own ESs. u@ 'e'>->r - Ss->sS1 :, 4 81 :,
derous orb; when, with His own hand,
He sent comets, like thunderboIts, wan
dering through the sky to find one day
their proper sphere. We 60 back to
those days when worlds were made and
systems were fashioned, and we have not
even approached the beginning yet.
Until we 60 back to the time when al
the Universe slept in the mind Of God, as
yet unborn, until we enter the eternity
where God, the Creator, dwellS alone, ev.
evvthiOa sleNO;p0. '.itt'iTY !giIn, oil creation
sleeping in His mighty gigantic tbppgh.t i.
we have not guessed the beginning. We
may go back, back, back, ages upon ages.
WG Gay 60 back, G we may Gse seek
words, whole eternities, and yet never ar
rive at the beginning. Our wing might
be tired, our Imagination might die away.
Could it outstrip the lightning's flashes
in majesty, power and rapidity, it would
soon weary itself ere it could reach the
beginning. But God from the beginning
chose His people; when the unnavigoble
ether was yet Unframed by the wing of a
single angel, when space was ShorcleSS Or
else unborn, when universal silence reign
ed, and not voice or whisper shocked
the solcmnity Of the silence, when there
was no being, no emotion, and naught
but God Himself alone in His eternity
when, without the attendance of even Q
cherub, long ere the living creatures were
born or the wheels Of the chariot Of Jeho
yah were fashioned, even then, Sin tht
beginning was the word" and in the be
ginning Gods people were one in tn,
world, and "tin the beginning He chos'
them all to eternal life. ."-lSpurgeon.

Southern Braggadocio.

Although the Southern politicians have always
been proverbial for their unblushng effrontery in
magnifying the bravery of the people and mate
rial resources of the South, as well as their de-
probation of the moral and intellectual stamina
and physical wealth of the North, the late adj
dress of the rebel congress to the people of the
confederate States" surpasses anything we have
yet seen for gross misrepresentation and verbose
braggadocio. They endeavor to prove by long
and fallacious system of argument that the South
is entirely guiltless of any responsibility in the
Inauguration of the war, and charge upon the
North the sin of usurping their rights" and
subverting the intent of the Constitution by elect
ing President against their aoishes. Oh, outrag
ed innocence How virtue has been abased
by the invasion of the sanctity of Southern
institutions by the Northern mud-sills, small
listed farmers, and greasy mechanics!
This precious production of chivalric indigna-
ton emanates from what is called the first-and
if we to judge from the mad rawlings of it's
members, it is fair to presume-the last regular
congress of the confederacy. They assert that
inasmuch as the Northern people were unwilling
that they should enjoy the blessings of their pc
culiar institution under the old government and
were constantly and persistently encroaching
upon their rights they had no alternative but
70 withdraw therefrom, set up for themselves,
and only wished to be "let alone"
