A LITTLE WAY.

A little way-I know 1t is not far
To that dear home where my beloved are;
And yet my faith grows weaker, as l stand
poor, lone pilgrim in dreary land,
Where present pain the future bliss obScures;
And still my heart sits ike bird upon
The empty nest, and mourns its treasures gone;
Plumed for their fight,
And vanished quite.
All! me, where is the comfort Though say
They have but journeyed on little way!
A little way-at times they seem so near,
Their voices ever murmur at my ear;
To all my duties loving presence lend,
And with sweet ministry my steps attend,
And bring my soul the luxury Of tears.
Twas here we met, and parted company;
Why should their gain be such grief to me?
This sense of lOssl
This heavy erossl
Dear Saviour, take the burden off, pray,
And show me heaven is but-a little way.
These sombre robes, these saddened faces, all
The bitterness and pain of death recall
Ah. let me turn MY SEce where'er may,
see the traces of sure decay;
And parting takes the marrow out of life.
Secure in bliss, we hold the golden chain,
Which death, with scarce warning, snaps in
twain,
And never more
Shall time restore
The broken links twas only yesterday
They vanished from our sight-a little way
A little wayl-this sentence l repeat,
Hoping and longing to extract some sweet
To mingle with the bitter. From thy hand
/ take the cup cannot understand,
And in my weakness give myself to thee
Although it seems so very, very far
To that dear.home where my beloved are,
/ know, know,
1t is not so;
OH give me faith to feel it when / say
That they are gone-gone but little way

SELF-DENIAL.-It is the great pivot
of our moral being-the dividing line be.
tween great man and bad man. A
man need not go from home to be heroic !;
he need not go from himself to be "greater
than he who taketh city," He need
not seek any other theatre of conquest
than himself. He has here enough to do,
thousand battle-felds; and, if he will,
can acquire fame in heaven and "glory
everlasting

want of faith which prevents the bestow-
ment of the power in our Sabbath day
ministrations; for the power is not pres
ent in an unbelieving unexpecting
church. The conversion of three thou
sand bitter opposers Of the gospel, who'
after their minds were convinced Of the
truth of the religion Of Jesus, were still
in heart at enmity against him, was not
simply proof of what the Holy Ghost
could do, but p1sdgeT what he is still
able and wizzing to do. The Spirit of the
Lord is not straitened in these last days.
But he does not many mighty works be-
cause of our unbelief.
1t may be said that unless there is
previous preparation for the greater man.
Hesitation of the Spirits power, prepa-
ration consisting in imparting a know
ledge of substantial truths, the conver-
sions will in the main be spurious. If
so, then, the mighty p2Der of the Holy
Spirit manifested z congregation as
under certain circssnsstd d5cesu undessra6le-=
which is not to be supposed.
This erroneous opinion has originated
from the true opinion that soheye. persons
are not carefully instructed IN the Word
of God, and are not intellectually ac-
quainted with the doctrines Of grace,
whenever error is preached, or truth m'red
sOith error, dradpreachsdsOith mach tervor;;
and means of Gods appointment marsd
soith means Of mans deuice are used, the
conversions are generally spurious. The
danger of self-deception is SO great and
its results so fatal ID awful, that it can
not be too careful4 guarded against
But there will b6 no more spurious con-
versions now than under the preaching
of the Apostles, when truth which is
adapted to the conversion of the soul, and
unmixed with error, is preached, and
only Gods appointed means for conduct
ing his services in the sanctuary, are
used, and the power of the Holy Ghost is
present. Yet in spirit of unbelief, we
put off the Spirits work Of conversion
from sermon to sermon, and from Sab
bath to Sabbath. The minister enters
the pulpit, and the church-member the
pew with scarcely the expectation or
hope of the conversion, at that time, of a
single soul. The spirit of procrastina-
ton pervades sinners and saints. But
the power, while it is not manifested on
account of faith. is not manifested with
out faith. We would not preach and
hear the solemn truths of the Gospel with
so much dullness and apathy, if we were
ardently desiring and expecting the
SrvL,A words TO be spirit aud life )
possessing a power to break the fiinty
rock of the sinners heart. The words
of the preacher must be the same that
the Apostle used: 'Repent every one Of
you." That command of God supposes
power somewhere, though it be not in
the sinner himself; though it be not in
the mere words themselves to secure the
repentance of "eoery one"
1t will be glorious day of grace, a
time of numerous conversions in all oul
congregations, when its pastors can with
truth use the language of Paul: "My
speech and my preaching was not with
enticing words of mans wisdom, but in
demonstration of the Spirit and of pow
er." P. T. P.

SAFEGUARD OF THE DOMESTIC CIRCLE.
The surest safeguard against Interruptions
to domestic concord is the habit of wear
ing smiling face; it will prove the
panacea for every ill-the antidote for
every sorrow; and who that has felt the
luxury of this comforting happiness, and
chasing from the brow shadow and the
heart grief, would grudge the effort for
so rich boon?

Nothing teaches patience like gar
den. You may 60 round and watch the
opening bud from day to day; but it takes
its own time, and you cannot urge it on
faster than it will. All the best results
of garden, like those of life, are slowly
but regularly progressive.

He who sins against men may fear

STATUS OF A "LoCAL."-The duties OF
local editor are as various and multi
tudinous- as are his readers ard their
notions. Each one expects-nay, de-
mands that his particular interest or
notions shall be advocated and defend
ed. He must, to use a scriptural quota
tion-"become all things to all men"
He must not have any ideas of his own,
but reflect and shadow forth those of
his patrons.
To this notion We are unwilling to
subscribe. We propose to make public,
facts Just as they exist-to chronicle cir
cumstances just as they transpire-to
speak the truth without reference to
whom it may concera.
Our privilege is to exhibit map of
busy life-to chronicle the incidents of
the day--to note disasters, frolic or fun
just as We are informed of their occur
rence-to speak Of nuisances as dele
terious to health just as they exist, and
even to proffer our advice and sugges-
tions just as it may seem best calcula-
ted to be conducive to the public good
or public interest.

Two HOURS AT WASHINGTON HALL
The following is a brief sketch of the
wonderful success of DR.. Evans Mag
netic Psychological treatment of dis.
eases yesterday morning at Washington
Hall, where we learn he treats the poor
free of charge: The first ease that was
presented was a lady who stated that
she had been totally deaf in one ear
fer several years. After FIVE minutes
treatment by the doctor she was made
to hear ordinary conversation when her
well ear was entirely closed. The next
was O gentleman who had been suffer
ing from neuralgia of the head and face
for nine months, suffering continually.
He stated to the audience that he was
entirely relieved after five minutes
treatment. The next case was q gentle
man who had been suffering from Rheu-
matism for several years, and was suf-
fering excruciatiug pain. After q five
minutes treatment he stated that he
was perfectly free from pain and felt
well. Aud thus the morning passed, and
in no case did we witness case treated
that was not greatly benefited. We
would advise the afflicted to call and
witness for themselves, as the doctor
operates in the Hall every morning for
the benefit of the afflicted poor.

POLICE COURT-At this Court, yes
terday morning, there was an entire
change of programme. The Hall pre-
sented dark and sable appearance
the ebon sons of Africa were conveBed
in very respectable numbers, and when
the Judge made his appearance and the
Court was called to..order, hats and caps
beisg DOTTED, there was fair exhibit
ton of colored wool.
The case having been called, it APP
peared that at negro festival held in
the hall of the Second Ward Market
House, on Thursday night, difficulty
arose between two "gemmun of cutler"
in which angry and boisterous words
were used quite freely. Finally prop
osition was made by one of the bellig-
erents, James Anderson, to 60 out and
fight. To this the other bellicose din
diwidual," Frank Robinson. rather de-
INJURED, but, after being tainted to
madness, finally went ont to settle the
matter, as per agreement. For TINS dis
turbing the peace, the Judge fined
James Anderson, who seemed to be the
aggressor, So and cost, and Frank Rob
inson 81 and cost.
The calendar Of crimes thus having
been gone through with, the Court adj
iourned.

those which are cOrn-fed.

therefore, cannot be too yigilant in ref

DANGERoUs.-In taking ride on the
street cars, on yesterday, we noticed
that there is prevailing practice among
the youngsters, all along the track, to
Jump on the cars whenever they can
get a chasce. Now this is very dan
gerous practice and should not be toll
Grated. Parents ought to exercise a
strict supervision over their little sons
to prevent this practice. 1t is not only
dangerous to the boys but is very an
moving to the drivers-and often dis
pleasing to the passengers.
