The Return of our Lord.

AS a specimen of the volume of sermons by
Rev. John Ker, of Glasgow, Scotland, to which we
have recently given so warm commentator, the
following is here given. Other extracts viii enrich
our paper occasionally, in hopes thereby not only to
furnish its readers with some Of the fresh and de-
kghtful thoughts with which the volume abounds,
but also to induce them to purchase it.-ED Gen.
PREs
This return of Christ is at the end of the
world, to take account not only of his pro.
fessed servants, but of all men, and there
can be no doubt that from the moment of
his departure He has charged his Church
to expect his reappearance, and to perform
all her service in view of it. When the
cloud received Him, and his disciples looked
up to it as to a door that closed on a de-
parting friend, the angelic attendants as
sured them, "This same Jesus shall so come
as ye have seen Him go into heaven, and
when we gaze up into that broad sky in the
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1869-04-21

glory of day or mystery of night, we should
strive to realize the time when it shall part
again and restore our unseen Lord. The
Book of Revelation which concludes the
canon of the Word shows the attitude Of
the Church,-her eye searching the future,
her arms outstretched in longing as his were
in blessing, and the sigh breathing from her
heart, Gwen so, come, Lord Jesus.
This great event is constantly represented
in the New Testament as near, and the view
is natural and true. Never does the meet
ing with beloved friend come so close to
us as when we have just parted from him.
Love makes the tears of farewells sparkle
into welcomes; and if we could only retain
the same impression of Christ's loss, his re
turn would be as nigh. 1t is moreover, in
the New Testament, the great event that
towers above every other. The heaven, that
gives back Christ, gives back all we have
loved and lost, solves all doubts, and ends
all sorrows. His coming looks in upon the
whole life of his Church, as lofty noun
tain peak looks in upon every little valley,
and sequestered home around its base, and
belongs to them all alike. Every generation
lies under the shadow of it, for whatever is
transcendently great is constantly near, and
in moments of high conviction it absOrbs
petty interests and annihilates intervals
1t may surely be for us to consider, whether
our removal of Christ's coming further from
us in feeling does not arise from less vivid
impression of its reality and surprising mo-
ment. Such views depend in no way upon
peculiar opinions regarding his advent, for
the longing expectancy of his appearance
should be as common to all Christians as is
their hope, and thousand years are as a
day to the grand event which opens ever
lasting life. What is the crust of a few cen
turtles or millenniums, if the great o.ean Of
eternity be felt heaving underneath, surging
up through the chasms which death reveals,
and admOnishing US of the time when it
shall sweep away all barriers, and leave
nothing but its own infinite bosom?

animal on the head. Never touch spirited horse
with the whip, until he has been told to move
faster, by voice, or sign. Balky horses are gen.

bad handling of the animal if Of highly nervous

A Little Crown.

Write it, D angel, in the Book.
Among the lambs of my fair flock;
One more dear name shall be engraved,
By Jesus saved ~
The angel paused and wrote it down;
Then turned and touched glowing crown
On which the precious sentence cleaned
"By Christ redeemed"
1t was oar lamb whose name was there,
So precious and so sweetly fair,
That oft we trembled as he dreamed;
So near to Heaven he seemed!
And oft the angels softly came,
And gently called his little name;
For beauteous grew his darkhng eyes
With baby ecstacies!
An me we would have stayed the hand
Which led him to the beauteous land
But troops of little ones came down
To lead him to his crown!
he went so sweetly to that throng,
We almost heard the welcome song
Of countless darlings gone before
Unto the shining shore

An Adventure at Niagara Falls.

Mark Twain met with quite an ad-
venture recently, at Niagara Falls.
Crossing to the Canada side, he
sought the camp of the Red Men who
manufacture bead bags and moccasins
for the visitors, and made them a
speech, in which some remarks upon
their costume, and their habit of
smoking short pipes, appear to have
been misconstrued, and exclamations
broke forth Of
"Down wild himw
Scoop the blagyardr'
!" Hang himv'
"Burn himr'
"Drownd himr'
1t was the quickest operation that
ever was. | simply saw a sudden
flash in the air of clubs. brickbats
fists, bead baskets, moccasins-a sin
gle flash, and they all appeared to hi
me at once, and no two of them ii
the same place. In the next instan
the entire tribe was upon me. The,
tore all the clothes off me, they brok'
my arms and legs, they gave me ;
thump that dented the top of my heat
till it would hold coffee like a saucer
and to crown their disgraceful pre-
ceedings and add insult to injury
they threw me over the Horseshoe Fal
and ! got wet.
About ninety or a hundred fec
from the top, the remains of my We.
caught on a projecting rock, and
was almost drowned before | coul
get loose. | finally fell and brougl
up in world of white foam at tt

foot of the Fall, whose celled and bub-

foot of the Fall, whose celled and bub-
bly, masses lowered up several inches
above my head. Of course l got into
the eddy, l sailed round and round in
it forty-four times-chasing chip and
gaining on it-reaching for the same
bush on the bank forty-four times. and
just exactly missing it by hairs
breadth every time. At last man
walked down and sat down close to
that bush, and put pipe in his mouth,
and lit a match, and followed me with
one eye and kept the other on the
match while he sheltered it in his
hand from the wind. Presently puff
of wind blew it out. The next time
swept around, he said:
"G Got match ?"
Yes-in my other vest. Help me
out, please"
"Not for joe"
When | came around again l said !:
Excuse the seemingly impertinent
curiosity of drowning man, but will
you explain this singular conduct of
yours p
With pleasure. I am the Coro.
ner. Don't hurry on my account,
can wait for you. But l wish had a
match"
l said: Take my place and I'll
60 and get you one"
He declined. This lack of conf.
dence on his part created GOODNESS
between US, and from that time for
ward | avoided him. 1t was NY idea,
in case anything happened to me, to
so time the occurrence as to throw my
custom into the hands of the opposi-
tion coroner over on the American
side. A policeman came along and
arrested me for disturbing the peace
by yelling at people on shore for help.
TIE Judge fined me, but l had the
advantage Of him. My money was
with my pantaloons, and my panta-
looms were with the Indians.
Thus escaped. l am now lying
in critical condition. At least | am
lying anyway-critical or not critical.
am hurt all over, but I cannot
tell the full extent yet, because the
doctor is not done taking the inven-
tory. He will make out my manifest
this evening. However, thus far he
thinks only six Of my wounds are ia
tai. | don't mind the other.
Upon regaining my right mind, |
said:
1t is an awfully savage tribe of
Indians that do the bead work and
moccasins for Niagara Falls, doctor,
Where are they from ?"
Limerick, my son.
