TEIT--For Israel hath not been forsaken
though their land was flIed with sin against
the Holy One OF Israel.-Jer. SIS.
The circumstances of Israel were
briefly alluded to, when the words of
the text were spoken and the promise
that they should not be forsaken of
God was shown to have been faithfully
tulhlled. The contrast between their
iniquity and Gods long suffering mer-
cy was drawn. The speaker took oc-
casion from this history to show the
greatness of our iniquity as a nation,
especially as manifested in our war and
present sectional animOsities, and the
position of the Churches in reference
thereto. he asked il it were not an
maZiug display of Gods long suffer
ing in view of this war of guilt that we
were not destroyed. But there were
no tokens of wrath. The spectral hand
of avenging righteousness was not vet
seen writing on the walls of the temple
OF American greatness, prosperity and
nDerty, the doom "mene, meme, tekel
upharsin." So far from it indeed God
was never more munificent in his bene-
factions. He here enumerated our ma
tlonal blessings-saying that they all,
recreated by the transcendent mercy of
religious liberty, presented an appeal
for gratitude such as was presented
~ AAHtACA CAA col lls A1Nel DldLOntu
on them all, in letters of light, were the
words, mot fOrsaken of God"
1t was fitting indeed then that our
Chief Magistrate, recognizing the SOW
ereignty of God in mans earthly alIot-
ments, and acknowledging our vast
obligations to him, should call upon
this great people to assemble in their
places of worship and shout grateful
thanksgivingst 10 the author of all good
We should praise him not only with our
lips, but in the inner sanctuary of
consecrated hearts.
jeremiah, in the words Immediately
following the text, called upon the peo-
pie TO flee out of the midst of Babylon
and deliver every man his SOUL" The
speaker thus appealed to his people to
flee from the Babylon of satanic despo-
tism, the bondage of iniquity, and live
as servants of righteousness unto God.
So would it be well for them and their
children forever, so would they do their
part in making this a righteous nation,
a nation shining in the beauty of holi-
ness upon the darkness of the world.
until Christ Himself should come and
establish that government of peace,
purity and glory, that shall continue
when time is merged into eternity, and
God becomes "allin all here below as
He is in Heaven above"

power can last long, because they deny
mans right to govern himself. They
hold to the divine right OF Kings, and
also to the divine right of their people
obeying them. We dwell in safety,
&c. The Lord has been gracious to us
in giving us such prosperity as a ma
ton. We have had no reason to com
plain of a failure in the crops. We have
had an abundance of all the necessaries
of lite. 'Tis true provisions are high,
but this arises from speculation; and al
though provisions are high, labor is
plentiful and at very good wages. So
that no man in the enjoyment of health
need be hungry in our streets.
we are lessening gOurnational indebt-
edness rapidly. England, in the reign
OF William the Third, began her ma
tional debt, which has become so large
since then, that it is crushing out the
vitality of that nation. But we are
paying our enormous debt so rapidly
that in fifteen years, at the present rate
OF payment, our nation will owe no
man anything.
God has given us peace in all our bor-
ders, &c.
As church, our people this centen-
ary year, have been very liberal, up
wards of two millions of dollars have
been subscribed as a thank offering,
and God has accepted the Offering bY
adding to our number upwards of one
hundred andtwo thousand converted
men and women.
For all these reasons we ought with
thanksgiving to come into the presence
of our God. We may safely trust Him
with the future of our country, If we do
right, always remembering that right
eousness eSalteth u nation, and sinis a
reproach to any people. May God ena-
BILE us to do right, "to; do Justly, and to
love mercy and to walk humbly with
thy God" Mic. 6, 8. Amen.

Who Should Furnish Revenue Stamps for
Receipts

Judge Lewis has decided that no per-
son is bound to give receipt for funds
paid, receipt being an instrument of ev-
idence useful only to the persons to whom
it is given, therefore, if a. man needs re-
ceipt, it is his place to furnish the stamps
for it, if one is required. But if a per-
son gives receipt without requiring that
the party to whom it is given shall fur
nish the stamp, the maker of the receipt
must. himself stamp the paper before he
delivers it. IF he fails to stamp it before
he delivers it he is liable to the penalty
provided by the law for the omission, but
the other party may stamp it Immediate
y upon its being received o

The Wife in Business.

The New York Supreme Court has just
decided an important case under the law
in which a married woman, in business
conducted by herself, had amassed the
means Of furnishing her house. In an
action for debt against her husband by o
third party, the furniture was seized and
part Of it sold. She claimed damages,
and the full value of the furniture sold
with interest, was awarded her. The de-
cision of the court was in effect that the
wife's property, earned by herself, was
not liable for the husbands debts.

Great Gaul of Fish.

The greatest haul Of rockfish or striped
bass, that is said ever to have been made
in the Delaware, occurred on Monday,
the Goth of March, when about twenty
thousand pounds were taken at single
sweep Of the net, and being brought ur
to the city, just at a time when rockfsh
were scarce, yielded the fortunate fisher
men, Cramp Il Co., the handsome sum Of
three thousand dollars This is prob.
ably the largest pecuniary gain ever
made by single cast Of the seine.

TO THE SURVIVING AND TIE FRIENDS
OF SLAIN OFFICERS OF PENNSYLVANIA
REGIMENTs.-It is proposed by the State
authorities to procure full history OF
the services rendered by Pennsylvania
regiments in the war to crush the rebel
lion, and as an interesting portion of that
history, it has been suggested by Gov
ernor Curtin, that the State Librarian
collect photographs of all officers of such
regiments, to be deposited in the State
Library, in such a form as to be easily
referred to and examined. In accord
auce with this proposition, the State Lii
brarian now requests all such officers to
send well executed card paragraphs of
themselves, addressed to the State Libra
ry, and, where the officer has perished,
That the friends of the gallant dead send
such photographs. Each card to be care
fully inscribed beneath tic photograph
lctth the name, rank, company and regi-
ment IN achich the officer serged. Our
contemporaries throughout the Common
wealth are earnestly requested to aid in
the success of this undertaking, by urg-
ing immediate compliance with the re-
quest for these photographs. In twenty
FIVE years such collection Of photographs
will be the most valuable work in the Ii
brary-Harrtsburg Telegraph.

The Legislature of Alabama has passed,
and Governor Patton has approved, law
taxing the vending of newspapers or peri
odicals published in any other State, fifty
dollars year, but levying no tag on the
sale of foreign publications. This kind
of discrimination against loyal men, and
in favor of foreigners, affords new ar
gument for the immediate restoration Of
this rebel State.
