THE GREAT FLOOD.

to-day from Harrisburg with boats to rescue
the sufferers by the food in the Colorado val
ley, who had taken refuge in the tree tops in
Eagle Lake Bottom, and who had been two
days in that position. 1t is said the water is
two feet over the tops of the telegraph poles
on the farms in Eagle Lake Bottom. There
are various rumors from Bashop, but as COM
munication is entirely cut off, none can be
credited. 1t is impossible at present to arrive
at the estimate of the loss to the towns along
the Colorado. The water has fallen six feet,
but in Brazos was still rising. All the rivers
near San Antonio are above their banks.

Shall we Take Away Christ i?

Time indeed, makes great havoc of great
names and of illustrious personalities. 1t
would not answer for the conservers ofthese
to invoke them with zeal too petulant.
and lnslstence too absolute. The everyday
world no doubt POUNDS its thoughts and
calculation upon the labors of men whose
names have lost all familiar connection
with their works. In the world ofthought
most OF us know not our fathers. We do
not for this pretend to have superseded
them. We only regret that the lapse of
time makes the figures of our benefactors
so dim to us. Shall we court such forget
tulness OF the one among them all best
known and most present to us? Shall we
say, Let us forget thee, oh Christ! Thou
vert but stepping stone, and not the sum.
NIT. lake away thy whole gallery of pic.
tures-the babe born in the Manager, the
gracious child in the temple-the minister
ofjoy at the feast of comfort, at the bed OF
sickness-the master with twenty centurie
of glory budding in his bosom---the hos
of the solemn feast of farewell, the statelies
symposium of the church, and the simples
OF the heart---the hero of the cross, tn,
symbolical conqueror of death and inheri
tor of "a kingdom without end Take then
all away---we have outgrown thy recor,
and thee" The proverbial ingratitude O.
republics might go as far as this. But il
Christ could take us at our word, and tax
ing away himself remove his gifts also,
know not how rapidly our institution
would shrink and darken. To take chris
tianity out of New England would be eve
more fatal than it would have been to leav
New England out of the Union.--.Jui
