Nor PARDON 0NLY.-To make the death
of Christ mere refuge-house for pardons
is to degrade it to the most selfish end, and
to receive the grace of God in vain. The
Lord whom we acknowledge laid down his
life to blot all the sinful past; but he rose
again that, in his Spirit of purity and love,
he might be our leader in the war with sin
in every form and degree.

The WOUNDS OF THE CONSCIENCE, like

DOING JUSTLY is the first step to loving
mercy, and the men in the Bible who lived

ATTRACTIONS OF sELF-sACRIFICE.

1t may be truly said that there is some
thing about self-denial and self-sacrifce that
is always attractive, even when they seem to
spring only from rigid sense of duty, when
the graces of compassion and sweet pity do
not accompany them; when kind and gen.
tie thoughts and words are wanting. But
let them come to us, not simply borne on by
strong will and an unwavering conscience,
but by heart soft and gentle as that of a
true ministering woman, then do they win
their way into our hearts with unspeakable
power. That must be one of rare coldness
and hardness where they do not speedily
make breach.
1t is these very qualities in the bright and
spotless character of Jesus our Saviour,
which fit it to ''draw all men unto him. y =
And this is especially true as we behold
him Gifted up" upon the cross. We behold
there indeed the stern voice of duty sum-
moning him to Calvary. We can hear him
say, 81 have baptism to be baptized with,
and how am straitened till it be accom-
phshed :" We look with adoring wonder as
we see him ''set his face steadfastly to 90
unto Jerusalem" when he knew all that
would befall him there. We see in him the
girding up of the man to meet the agonies
even then overshadowing him. But oh the
heart of compassion, of touching tender
ness that was there too. When / see him
stand upon 0livet and melt into tears as he
bewails the impending doom of the city
whose salvation he had vainly sought; for
getful of himself, but solcitouS to provide
for mother through whose heart sword
was now piercing; praying that forgiveness,
not wrath, might come to his very murder
ers; when l look upon this, may not well
exclaim-
80 Lamb of God, was ever pain;
Was ever love like thine?'
1t is the gentleness and compassion of Je-
sus, mingling so Sweetly with his Self-sacri-
fee, that have drawn the millions to his
Cross. Let his followers in all ages learn a
lesson as to "what manner of persons they
ought to be. No oblation for sin can they
offer; no merit or righteousness can be treas
ured up in them. But as to the spirit of low
ing kindness with which they minister to
others and devote themselves to his cause,
che hath left us an example that we should
follow his steps,"
If any man will come after me, let him
deny himself and take up his cross daily,
and follow me"
Those words are the motto over the door
into the kingdom. M. N.

The BUDS. Saturday morning was
just about the finest specimen of spring
weather ever seen, felt or enjoyed in
this region. The sky was unclouded.
the sun shone out in his full ma iesty.
the air was balmy, and from every tree
the blue birds poured forth their mus
ic, and the chipping sparrows chirped
their reioicings. The wrens have not
yet made their appearance, and we have
seen no robins, but they, and all the
birds of passage will soon be with us,
pleasing and benefiting the featherless
bipeds.
Strange as it may seem there are
brutes and fools who take beastly de-
light and pleasure in destroying these
harmless and useful visitors. Almost
any one OF these birds is of more value
to the world than the whole class of
men who go poking about fields and
hedges, shooting robins and other
small birds. The destruction of these
birds is surely followed by cores
ponding increase of worms and insects
destructive to fruit and grain besides,
who would be willing to lose their Joy
GUS songs OF spring morning.

BE- The words contained in the TWEEN
tieth chapter of Proverbs and first verse
were the theme of a discourse last even
ing at the First Baptist Church, by the
pastor, Rev. Theodore A. X. Gessler -
The sermon was the fourth of Q series
Of temperance sermons by our pastors,
and was listened to with marked alten
ion. The remarks of the speaker were
earnest and practicable contending
that it was as just to license men to rob,
steal or murder, as t was to license
them to sell that which DESTROYS both
body and soul. Temperance men were
encouraged to be of good cheer, and
fear not victories had been won in the
past, and their banners were still being
borne onward, he trusted, to grander
triumphs in the future. We wish each
of our pastors would preach on this
important subject with as much ear
nestness as did Rev. Mr.. Gessler. The
fifth of the series of sermons will be
preached on Sunday evening next, at
Westminster Church, by Rev. William
G. Roberts. All are invited.

The MONUMENT. = We understand
that great many of our people are in
favor of locating the soldiers and sail
ors monument on the triangular lot at
intersection OF Broad, Pearl and Will
hanson streets, in the Eighth ward,
while the residents of the Fifth ward
are as strongly in favor of having the
monument erected in Jefferson Park.
The people representing these wards
are in earnest about the matter, and as
the question is to be decided by votes,
which cost just one dollar, the friends
of the monument may rest assured that
it will be erected at an early day. An
adjourned meeting of the association
will be held at the Court House this
evening, and those in favor OF the mon
ament are earnestly invited to be pres
emit, and take part in the deliberations.
Plans will be submitted at future
meeting, and after they have been de
cided upon, no time will be lost in
commencing the patriotic work,

The Dream of Life.


IT'S said that g life is but Dream"
And lkened to ''a tale that's told,"
But years have passed, nor doth it seem
While am gray, I'm getting old.
Yes | am gray! and wrinkled brow
Speak Of the months and years that fed,
IT'S but dream to me somehow,
To think of loved ones that are dead.
All! do dream and can it be
That L was once a little boy
IT'S all a dream a dream to me;
Yet this the thought I now enjoy.
That | shall wake when it is DER,
And never, never, sleep again,
But on the bright celestial shore,
In endless bliss with Jesus reign.
Then on We weeks, and months, and years
Nor stay the swiftly rushing tide;
THIS life is made of dreams and fears,
The TRUE is on the other side"

GRAND ROW AND FIGHT. 1.-THE vicin.
ity along the line of the Central Rail
road, between Catharine streets anG

scene of a disgraceful tumult.
1t appears that certain loafer went
to certain low, dingy, dark and filthy
crib kept by one Dan Grow, and de.
man ded beer or ale The shanty is or.
namented with single, nailed against
the side of the structure, on which are

raj. Three or four persons pre- sent,
who happened to overhear the remark
of the pugnacious individual, lost nc
time in :; getting in" the fight soon
becoming as interesting as these little
amusements generally are in this local
ity.
Chief Keron was sent for, and that
officer soon after arrived, finding some
200 or 300 men, women and children,
of all ages and colors, gathered in the
neighborhood of " Dan Crows Family
Grocery" The Chief elbowed his way
through the crowd, and succeeded in
gettings inside the gate, where he was
seized by Pat. Grow, an amiable brother
of Dams. The Chief used his locust,
which caused Pat to loose his grip on
his neck, but in a moment, several 9TH
ers acted in belhgerent manner, and
the situation of the officer was becom
ing somewhat dangerous, when wo-
man sang out, "Men, will you see the
Chief killed % whereupon two or three
men rushed to the aid of that officer,
who was finally extricated, minus the
loss of his coat, &c. Dan and Pat
were both captured ane locked up, and
this morning taken before Justice Fur
man, who imposed the fine which was
paid, and they were discharged.
Chief Keron, late in the afternoon,
again repaired to "Dan Crows Fami-
ly Grocery" where he found three fl
thy scallawags lying at full length on
tumble-down settee, Mrs. Grow cry
ing as if her poor heart would break,
and an old hen, twelve or fifteen little
chickens and number of dirty pigs
and dirtier children running in pro-
miscuous manner about the grocery
The Chief babe the woman to "dry up
and threatened to arrest the entire par
ty if any other disturbance was created.
The floor of this hovel was covered
with mud and dust, at least an inch in
thickness, and we call the attention of
the Health Inspector to the filth of this
" shebang." r
Almost every Sunday, drunken rows
and disgraceful fights occur in this To-
cality, and it is high time that these
disorders were stopped. Chief Keron
has now an opportunity to punish some
of these offenders, and we hope he will
give them the full benefit of the law. -
An example must now be made.
