The Drunkard's Grave.

What dark and loathsome place
No ray of hope picrces its dense gloom
The goodly minister must not, dare
not, repeat over the polluted clay, as
it enters the place Of sepulcher, that
touchingly beautiful passage III the
burial service: 'We commit the body
OF this, our departed brother, dust to
dust and ashes to ashes in sure and
certain hope Of glorious resurrection
from the dead at the last day Hope
tor the drunkard in death Alas .
there is none. Inspiration inscribed
upon his death tablet, in letters of fire,
No drunkard shall inherit the king
dom Of heaven Despair eternal sits
enthroned upon the drunkard's grave,
and an utterunce ofawiul truthtulness,
proclaims its undisputed right to hold
the prisoner as his lawful pray until
he shall awake to everlasting shame
and contempt, to receive his final
doom. Every clod, as it falls upon
the coffin lid, declares with terrible
significance, the hopelessness of the
lost man.
While kindred shed their tears OF
anguish, and friends perform their last
act of kindness, how terrific the
thought that demons are holding a
festival of merriment over another
soul plunged by the maddening cup
into perdition's fiery depths.
Imagine, if you can, all the drunk
ards who have from the first transgres-
sions until now been brought by some
invisible power into one place. How
vast the multitude How immense
the mound Of debased humanity
What commingIing of the great and
small, the wise and the ignorant, the
civilized and the rude, the rich and the
poor, the honorable and the ignOble
As you gaze upon this mountain pile
this eommingling of nations, of divers
sects, cf all classes, you see written
upon every brow, by the pen OF an
outraged divinity, DIED WITHOUT HOPE.
1t matters not how brave, or learned
or rich, or generous, or noble, or elo
quent, or influential that drunkarc
was in his day, the shroud of despair
covers him.
. The drunkard's grave is the very
citadel of eternal hopelessness. What
bolts and bars and chains are here =
And all the more fearful because they
were forged by the miserable victim
as he went forth in his day, under tn,
sunlight Of heaven. 1t is of no con
sequence to him now when or wher,
he lived-whether in a palace or
wigwam-upon throne or in serfdon
in luxury or in poverty-at home o
in foreign land; the result is essenti
ally the same. His life was spent il
digging grave, which to him is tn
home of despair. .
Strange that the living will not TAX
warning, but they will not. Ho'

thing to do in reference to the openly
active and energetic disloyal men, and
that must be done with the view of
preserving the rights and immunitles
of those who are with us in our sup
port of the Government. The Chris
tian should not, must not, forget the
duty of upholding Government so as to
maintain and protect liberty and good
order, to protect the dutiful against the
encroachments and expressions Of the
lawless and disorderly. He was will
ling to leave the arrangement of af-
fairs to his Government-no one de-
partment of the Government, but by
all. [Applause. He saw nothing in the
constitutional amendment at variance
with the spirit of Christianity, and he
was amazed that its generous provis
ions had not been instantly adopted by
the South. There was no humihating
demand or eXaction contained in any
of its clauses. And yet the hatred
which certain pretentious hypocriti-
cal class in the South indulge against
the negro had made the proposed
amendment odious in their sight. Any
thing which foreshadowed rights for
negro must meet with their opposition,
and they had lost no opportunity Of
misrepresentingt the nature of the prop
Osition to those who were ignorant,
and infaming their lawless passions to
the point Of riot and bIoodshed The
treacherous, defiant and hypocritical
classes Of the South would continue to
take advantage Of the leadership Of
bad men and fall in with the multitude
to do wrong and commit outrage 70
avert the danger consequent upon this
state Of things, something must have
it's place in the fundamental law which
shall assure to US more than Union in
name-a Union in spirit. The speaker
then alluded to the Conservative out
cry against what was called political
preaching' He did not believe in par
tisan preaching, but he regarded it the
duty of the Christian minister to be
the teacher of religion in such a way
as to purify our conduct in politics as
well as in the other walks Of life. 1t
was the genius and spirit Of Christian
ity to teach us that we were but in
struments, and we were weak before
God, who would, at all events, accom-
plish His work while we were used in
promoting its details.

North Pole is only matter Of 900
miles from the island, and 1t is thought
by the two explorers, rs by many
others, that the pole itself, and the sea
which is supposed to surround it, could
be reached from Spitzenbergen With.
out many great difficulties being en-
countered \ singular fact noticed by
the explorers, in connection with this
island, is the enormous quantities of
floating timber which literally cover
the waters Of the bays and creeks. A
careful examination of the character,
condition and kind of these floating
logs would, no doubt, lead to conciu-
sion as to whence and how they came,
and prcpabIy suggest new theories for
the solution OF geographical problems
connected with the arctic seas.

Lecture by Mai. Gen'I Howard.


Major Gen O. O. Howard lectured
at the Brooklyn Academy Of Music, on
Monday Il week, under the auspices Of
the Young Mems CHRISTIAN Association
of that city, his subject being on
Christian duty to the South"
He began by stating that one even
ing be met Southern Christian gen
tleman, who asked him (the speaker
why he as Christian man could adopt
the course which he had? This cir
cumstance had led him to the consid
Grafton of the question, What Is our
Christian duty to the South :" And in
doing SO it became necessary to deter,
mine what the term South" meant.
He had classified them as follows
First Those men who engaged heart
lily in the war, but when it was over
gave up slavery and the doctrine Of
State rights, and other forms Of South
ern origin.
Second A large class who, at first,
pretended to submit themselves to the
Government, but who now raise afresh
the war cry.
Third Those who were ever defiant
| of law and order
FOURTH Those who had been and are
still Internationally loyal to the Gov
ernment.
The conduct of the defiant and those
who had pretended to be loyal since
| the close of the war was described !;
also, the massacres at Memphis and
| NJ, n,loopo a,,d +bo raaapt traDSop-
tions in Loudon county, Va, where
bands of" regulators, with blackened
faces, destroyed property, taking life
and threatening life. He regretted
( that in speaking Of this subject openly
it should appear to be partizanship; /;
but they must, if they would get at the
truth, investigate freely and fearless
ly. He knew there were many large
hearted Christian men in the North
who desired to hold out the olive
branch to the people of the South, and
he confessed that this spirit of magma
nimity was plausible; but in connec
tiOn with this question we would find
that something beyond magnanimity
was necessary. Applause The Gov
ernmeut had been flippantly likened to
the church, and the doctrine ofreceiy-
ing backsliders back to our bosom with
charity and forgiveness but why, if
the type was insisted upon, should we
be asked TO receive these backsliders
again without repentance, probation
or guarantee of good behaviour in the
future? But we are reminded that we
were but human, and we should be
careful in our exercise OF authority -
The powers that be are of God, and we
must therefore act upon the basis thai
they who had been guilty must submit
to acknowledge and obey these pow
ers, in common with the whole loya
people. He believed that forgiveness
might precede repentance, but recon
element could not. The truly repent
ant should be met half way, and W.
+ should aid them to the utmost OF ou
power by our votes and voices, am
! thus help them to ri from the ashe
!, Of their social ruin Those who hav
: always been loyal deserved the exel
T. else of our Christina duty. Evidentl
. in exercising that daCy we have some
