Taking the Kingdom by Force.

In recent number Of the Plymouth
Pulpit we find these paragraphs for peo-
pie who are only half earnest in seeking
religious life:
"The kingdom of heaven sufTereth vio-
lence, and the violent taketh it by force"
DO you want to know what that means ?
Go to Washington, and you will see
When men want anything, see how they
go to get it. The Capital of Republic
"suffereth violence, and the violent take it
by force" There are men squabbling for
every single Office, every one havingarm-
ed himself with all possible influence, d.
rect and collateral, with every thing that
can come from the heart, and, every thing
else! See how night and day they plan,
and combine, and labor, and wear ont
resistance, TO get what? An Office the
liberty of exile to some foreign country.
When they mean wealth, when they
mean power, when they mean influence,
see how they seek it. When they mean
the salvation of their souls, they curl
themselves up in a sunny place, light
their cigar, and read the corner of the
newspaper, or dispute with their minis
ter Oh their neighbor in respect to some
tenet or doctrine. And they get up in
meetings and say that they are rather
thoughtful Oh the subject of religion, on
the whole. See men that are always
dreaming, floating in their notions
They go to one church. Well, they do
not like the music in that church, and so
they will not stay there. AT one church
the preacher is good but the music is
poor, and at another the opposite is true.
And so these men, as if they were in
Fulton market, go daintily about for ten
der loins, for delicacies, for nice parts,
and call that being moral, thoughtful,
earnest. Shame on you Shame on
manhood, that man should pretend that
this is having moral impulse or moral
earnestness! Where man means re-
ligion there is no reason that he should
miss religion. A man that means man.
hood has a road broad enough for fool
to find out at midnight. A man that
means regeneration, repression of pride,
mastery of selfishncss, the overflow of
filthy passions, the wearing out of those
elements which come near wearing out
his spirituality, do you suppose that such
a man takes these diitettdnt methods of
making it appear that he is seeking after
Christ?

A Word to Wives.

A wife may love her husband and her
children, and may perform her ordinary
duties faithfully, aud yet ruin her hus-
band by her foolish ambition. But, let a
woman's ambition turn on show and
seeming rather than on substance and
reality, and she will drive her husband
to ruin, unless he is made of ofuncommonly
good stuff She wishes to equal the best.
She is also ambitious of clothes, of fine,
but, for him, extravagant table. She en-
vies every one more prosperous than her
husband is. She wishes house little
beyond his means, she will have clothes
not consistent with his income; she de-
mands expensive pleasures, which suck
up his slender earnings; she brings him
into debt, keeps him feverish with anxi-
ETY., and finally poisons his honesty
Many man breaks down in reputation
and becomes castaway under the stim-
ulation of his wife's dishonest ambition.
For to live beyond ones means is dis
honest, and to desire to do so is to de-
sire q dishonest thing. Let woman
scatter faster than her husband can gath
err; let her notions of duty send her
gadding after eyerybody's business but
her own; let her religion be severe and
censorious, and stand along the path of
duty like thorn-locust hedge on gar
den walk, which pricks and tears every
body that goes near it, let her secure the
art of making home uncomfortable, and
of tempting her husband to prefer any
other place to it, let her use her husband
as seamstresses do pincushions, just to
stick pins in, and, with ordinary luck,
she will ruin any commonly clever fel-
low in few years. Having driven him
TO drunkard's grave, she can muffie her
martyred heart under the funeral Grape,
and walk in comely black till some new
victim helps her put on her wedding
suit. ......

Antiquities from Alaska.

Allusion has been made to the inter-
esting antiquarian discoveries reported
in Alaska, by Captain Edward Fast, an
engineer officer on the staff of General
jeff G. Davis. Captain Fast brought to
light, in the course of years invostiga.
tion among the aborigines of our new
territory, many curious facts, which seem
to prove Alaska to have been formerly
more civilized country than it is now.
He made friends with the natives, learned
their language, studied their traditions,
observed their peculiarties and customs,
bought Of them various relics of an an
cestry whereof they had but dim and
Imperfect knowledge-the ancient wcap.
ons, warlike dresses, armor, implements of
the chase, domestic utensils, all wrought
with skill which is now lost--and when
these sources were exhausted, be or his
native agents rifed the graves, where,
with the ashes of the dead, were depos-
tied the carved idols and Instruments of
use or ornament which were in vogue
among the Alaskans long ages before the
Russians set foot within the country.
Captain Tast's remarkable collection has
now rea sted New York, and we have
been favored with q view of it. Even
to the superficial observer 1t offers points
of great interest, the workmanship of
most of tie articles is so curious, and so
much ingenuity is displayed in adapting
the Scantt materials Of that inhospitablc
country tp variety OF uses. Wooden
helmets, Ind visors of wonderful weight
and clum iness, and carved into the most
frightful and demoniac forms; wooden
breast a, a back-plates, curiously inter
laced viii u sinews; spears of finely
wrought iron, artfully inlaid with brass
and coppS, and proving high degree
of proficiency in the working Of metals;
clothing IF prepared skins, brilliantly
colored and decorated with figures; hair
work in many strange forms; charms,
idols and instruments of sorcery, cut i'll
wood, bope, walrus ivory and amber,
and displaying grotesque sort of art,
of which the modern savages of Alaska
have no cfnception. These are some of
the most Conspicuous features of Captain
Fast's collection. For scientific men we
presume heir study will offer strong
attractions What ight they may throw
upon the Ivexed question OF the source
whence Anerica was peopled, we do not
pretend tdsay; perhaps philologists may
find here field for profitable investiga-
tion; but there can be no question that
they shoY the present inhabitants of
Alaska tobe the degenerate descendants
Of comparatively civilized race, and in
this fact abne there is matter enough for
inquiry.

HARD STORIES ABOUT JOHN HANCOCK.
No man has probably been more over
rated than John Hancock. He was rich,
lived ostentatiously, and was generous,
but he was vain and unscrupulous. AL
most everybody with whom he traded
was obliged to sue him. My father told
me that one could seldom pass the court
house in Boston, during term time, with
OH. hearing the crier of the court pro-
claim from the door steps, "His excellen-
cy, John Hancock, come into court and
make answer to A. b., or you will be
deiaulted." He would present to cler-
gyman, for example, on election day, a
suit of clothes, and the tailor would have
to sue the Governor for payment, and so
in numerous other instances. His widow,
Nine Scott, who married Capt. Scott,
master OF one of Gov. Hancock's London
packets, told me in my youth, that on
one occasion the Governor invited the
whole Senate of Massachusetts to break
fast with him without giving her any
notice. She said, awe have no milk for
the coffee OF so many persons" and he
replied, "Send the servants out to milk
the cows on the common" 1t was the
custom then for the inhabitants to send
their COWS to crop the grass on the public
common. But Hancock was not the
only man in public lite who in those days
dishonored his position. The late Judge
William Jay Informed me that while he
was boy he heard Chancellor Livings-
ten say to his father: "Jay, what set
of rascals there were in the old Con-
gress." ."-Le,Ois Idppan.
