RELIGIOUS DEPARTMENT AT THE PARIS EXPOSITION
One of the most interesting and important depart
ueat Of the great exposition to be held at Paris the
present year, will be devoted to the exhibition OF
the results of Protestant Christian benevolent enter
prise. The very choicest part of the grounds de
voted 10 the fair have been set apart by the French
emperor for this purpose, and it will be the grandes
opportunity Protestant Christianity has ever had for
the display of its works and results.
Il c2etanly could hardly have been expected that a
Catholic emperor OF Catholic country would have
taken much interest in such matter, but buildings
arc TO be erected and every possible facility afforded
fer the exposition Of the results Of the modern mis-
EonaTy and charitable efforts of Protestant Christians
Tt the intention of the emperor and those concerned
in The exposition to have it perfect illustration of
The life of the world, and permission cheerully
given % English Christians when they preached
the matter of having place ass gned to Protestant
missions
Partial preparations have already been made to
render this permission to the emperor Of practical
value TO the of Protestant Christianity but much
more remains to be done in order to make full and
proper of so grand opportunity for aggressive
religious effort. Protestant chapel will be erected
% one end of the "Holy Ground'-as it will be ap-
propriasely called-and a committee of evangelical
ministers has already been raised in Paris who to
make arrangements for daily religious services under
the direction of able preachers in all the languages
that shall be represented there.
The Gospel will thus be publicly and freely preached
in English, French German, Italian and other tongues
and all may hear the truth in language that they can
understand. Another building will be devoted to the
display of the results of Christian enterprise in the
preparation of the Bible and other religious works for
The Of religious nations; another building will be
devoted to the gratut0us distribution of religious
books md tracts and the printing press will at
attest the skill of invention and the thoughtful fore
sight Of Christian benevoence. Several English gem

taken special interest in this work, and pushing

NJ AFIoNAL SENTIMENTS. The advocacy Of sectional
pr1ciples and sectional ideas is most injurious to the
Whole people. The seconasm of the North and
thc ectionasm of the South are alike to be depre-
Gates. Freedom Of all persons is national, and
ere within the territory of the United States does
sarrry exist.
" nat the country now needs, therefore-what the
ug ority of the people demand is a recognition
NJ lie principle that there shall be unlawful re-
lions on the freedom Of speech of freedom of
4s 1ress. The right to advocate national sentiments
Must be conceded, and the people must be every
where protected in the freedom Of speech
THIS is not the creed Of the partisan or politician
0I5 tie creed of the statesman and its maintenance
0 promote the prosperity of the South. The day
las passed when the bowie knife the revolver pos
scss me power to intimdate the individual or the
re and to prevent the expression Of national scnti
mcnt the advocacy of political ideas that are not
popular in certain communities.
The North and West claim the right of their citizens
settle in any portion of the country and there ex
press freely and unreserVediy the political sentiments
hey entertain. This right will be maintained, and so
thoroughly established that political differences will no
io3ge estrange individuals, hinder them from unit
ing in any business operations which may promise
lUaiiF beneficial results.
freedom Of speech and freedom of the press, to-
gelher with energy and industry in the development
Of her agricultural and mechanical resources, are the
only panaceas the South requires for relief from the

Consolation.

q The torrent of the world is rough and strong,
No eyes with loving tenderness glsten.
l cannot sing a truth inspiring song
If none on earth will listen"
The angel answered: Wherefore dost thou sigh
The courser faints not ere the race be run
The meanest blossom may not, cannot die
a.- Before its work be DONE
The prayer bells in thy heart should summon still
The world all day, at noon, at eve, at da"nins'
And not, Ike yonder church upon the hill,
Only on Sunday morning
The belfry ropes have hung long, long time,
But only midnight breezes make them quiver,
Let thy heart ring, like some cathedral chime,
Forever and forever.
If there be none to hearken to thy song
No ears to heed-no loving eyes to glisten- ~
Gods little wood birds sing The whole day long,
And care not who will listen.
Then let the roses of thy fancy peep
Within the love-lit cottage of thy heart
And like consecrated Treasure, keep
The knowledge of thine art.
And lift thy trusting eyes unto the sky,
For heaven-not earth-shall give thy words o
hearing;
Speak truth undauntedy, and live and die
Life loving, death unfearing.
Scorn not thy life-it is the gift of God;
Scorn not Thy kind-they are his children too;
The dark blue violet rises from the sod
All the long winter through
fl throws a smile upon each winter day
fragrance DER the frosty atmosphere;
Thou hast bad many winters; will stay
With thee another year
