In Christ.



Let me hear, when / am on my death
bed, that Christ died in the stead of sim
ners, of whom l am chief that he was
forsaken of God, during these fearful
agOnies, because he had taken my place,
that on his cross l paid the penalty of
my guilt. Let me hear, too, that his
blood cleanseth from all sin, and that |
may now appear before the bar of God,
not as pardoned only, but innocent. Let
me realize the great mystery of the
reciprocal substitution of Christ and
the believer, or rather their perfect
unity, he in them, they in him, which he
has expressly taught; and let me believe
that as / was in effect erucifed on CAL
vary, he will in effect stand before the
thorns in my person, his the penalty,
mine the sin; his the shame, mine the
glory; mis- the throne, mine the crown ];
his the merit, mine the reward. Verify
thou shalt answer for me, o Lord, my
Redeemer. In Thee I put my trust. In
Thee have | trusted I; let me never be con-
fOunded.-BishOp LIE .IeaIRe.

and since the nature Of lbs citizens is
more modifable by early training than
by anything else, we must conclude that
the welfare Of the family underlies the
welfare of society"
The womsh suffrage question seems 20

be electors including infants? ? If not,
where shall the line be drawn2 Taking
this view, should there not be an elee-

choosing an electOr ? Would this be an
improvement upon the present system of
letting the natural protector of the
family represent it in the state2 even in
the formation of organic laws?
That government is a progressive
science many are ready to admit, but
whether its progress lies in the direction
Of the dissolution of the family is
worthy of the most deliberate and care

WHY READ THE BIBLE.

| A conversation or argument which
the writer had recently with an old gray
headed in6del suggested the propriety Of
q short article in answer to his question
| Why read the Bible 2" He looked
upon that Book of Books as one devoid
of interests a book of no attraction.
The idea of his is unfortunately toe
common even among professed Chris
tians. People too often consider the
Bible dry" and overlook its grand
beauties. ~,
In the whole range Of book literature,
there is no work that affords us SO en-
gaging a variety of style, manner and
matter, and SO wide range of material
for thought as the Bible. It begins
with the origin of created things. 1t
traces the history of the past, and lifts
the veil of the future. 1t tells us of the
ante-diluyian world, of the founders of
nations, of the builders of Nineveh and
Tyre, of the simple-hearted, but noble
patriarchs, and of primeyal period.
1t traces the history of the Jewish
nation, like some famous river, from its
fountain-head. 1t gives us a full and
interesting account of the theocratic
judges, the world-renowned kings, and
the magnificent temple. 1t tells US of
the Egyptian, the Chaldean, the Assyr-
ian, the Medo- Persian, the Grecian and
the Roman Empires. 1t speaks of the
wealth, luxury, vice, and ruin of the
ancient seats of power; of the desolating
plaques of Egypt; of the destruction of
the tyrant Pharoah and his army in the
Red Sea and of the burning cities of
the plain. 1t furnishes US with an ae-
count of the reception of sublime, uni
versal, and perfect law at Mount Sinai,
amid clouds and darkness, roaring thun-
der and vivid flashes of lightning, that
ieaped from crag to erag, all indicating
the majesty of a descending God. 1t
speaks of the unbending integrity and
stern heroism of the prophets, commits
stoned as they were to denounce impend-
ing vengeance, of the active, benevolent,
spotless life, and awful sacrifcial death
OF the man Christ Jesus, in whom dwelt
all the fullness of the Godhead bodily );
and of his ascension to the throne of
universal dominion.
1t points out the philosophy Of social
relationship duties of husband and
wife, father and mother, son and daugh-
ter. 1t treats of the fall and redemption
Of man, the nature and ministry of an
gels, the fall and fate Of devils the rest
of saints, and the prison of perdition. 1t
tells us of the administration of Divine
Providence extending over all words and
throughout all ages and finally it tells
us of the majesty, mercy, and goodness
of the Great deborah himself.
These are only few of the varied
profitable, sublime, and profoundly in
teresting subjects presented in the Bible.
Who that has ever read Of these things
will ask Why read the Bible 2" With
these things, in point of beauty and in
teIest, the accounts of the wrath of
Archilles, the wanderings of Ulysses, the
eausa ct laberes of the plus Hneas the
Bacchanalian songs of Anacreon, Hor-a
ace, and Caullus the vices and crimes
of Cataline and Jugurtha, of the cease
less and bloody battles of Caesar, cannot
be eompared.-Reforuled Church Ness

Dressing for Church,

/ Very estimable and, we trust, very
religious young women, sometimes enter
the house of God in costume which
makes the acts of devotion in the SER
vice seem almost burlesque. When a
brisk little creature comes into a pew
with her hair frizzed till it stands on
end in most startling manner, rattling
Of beads and bits of tinsel, she may
look exceedingly pretty and piquante ];
and if she came there for game, of
croquet or tableau,party, would be all
in very good taste; but as she comes to
confess that she is a miserable sinner,
that she has done the things that she
ought not to have done, and left undone
the things she ought to have done-as
she takes upon her lips most solemn and
tremendous words, whose meaning runs
far beyond life into sublime eternity
there is discrepancy which would be
ludicrons if it were not melancholy.

A veteran musician of the first rank
in London urges that encores ought to
be suppressed. They fatigue the artists,
protract the performances, and are sure
to displease some Of the audience. In.
classical works of great dimensions, the
repetition of any one movement damages
the effect of that which follows. In
sacred and secular works, familiar to the
public, certain favorite pieces are stereO-
typed encores, quite irrespective Of the
style in which they are occasionally
given. A few top notes, delivered with
an inflated chest, for final cadence, are
a sure bait to secure an encore to a young,
aspiring vocalist. Tenor singers, with
tender throats, suffer most in complying
with these indlscreet demands upon their
exertions'

Fashion and ils LicentIsus Ten
fat sa dency.


From the Gospel Messenger (Episcopai)
Some Of tbs amusements and fashions
Of the day have indeed reached, and
passed beyond, the extreme limits of
decency, to say nothing of morality.
Even the secular press has had surfeit
of pruriency, and is beginning to cry
out against the bestialities of popular
scenic representations, and the revolving
grossness of sundry recently imported
forms of dancing which we will not stain
our pages With naming. We do not be-
heEe there are many members of our
church in Western New York that have
at all become familiar with such things,
or that eyeF, witnessed them Like our
selves, fer any knowledge of them they
must depend on the accounts they see in
the papers. But, doubtless, even in re-
spectacle society, We shall find a great
tendency to relax the old safeguards to
modesty and delieacy Of feeling in the
modern style of dress and amusements.
Even among Christian ladies it seems
useless to war against fashion. Even
those who are clamoring for women's
rights, seem to insist on continuing IN
abiect slavery to the deHli-nloRde Of
Paris. There Is malice prepense in the
DESIGNS Of fashion, in both senses OF the
word; as much as in the traps that are
set for the capture Of otAer ANIMALS
The scene at an evening party Is some
times painful to rsSonal being.

fat old gentleman, looking rather weary
and careworn. In his eyes, however,
which are magnificent there still CLEANS
the divine FIRE Of poetical inspiration.
His gait is rather slow and awkward, but
his manners are winning and graceful.
Nothing can exceed the fervent attach

democratic sentinentss entertain for

it has added much to trade by appearances

provided from home, whether to their advan-

STATISTICS OF THE QUEENS HOSPITAL
By the favor of Mr.. ]. Langherne Desha, Pur
veyor and Medical Assistant of the Queens
Hospital, we are enabled to present the fol-
lowing interesting items of statistics of that
establishment. The Hospital was opened for
the first time, on the LIST day of August, 1859.
From that date up to March, 1s69,-nine
years and eight months,-there have been
entered on the books, 10,462 patients
OF these, 2,317 were actual inmates of
the Hospital The number of prescriptions
made up and recorded, not including many
repetitions of the same prescription, and
chance giving-out of medicines, during the
period mentioned, was "a, $50 OF the in
mates, 241 Hawaiians have died, many having
been brought to the Hospital so far gone
with disease as to render their recovery quite
hopeless, some dying within few days after
admission, and others even expiring on the
very day when they were brought in. There
have been 800 foreigners received as inmates,
including Chinese laborers, OF whom GO
have died. With many of these, their
condition was such on entering the Hos
pital, that their death was a foregone con-
clusion, and only question of time.

TIE sale of books at Adams & Wilder's on

invoice was sent out by a concern in London,
E Lumley, who makes business of collect
ing invoices of old books, and sending them
20 all parts of the world. This invoice num-
bered 1900 volumes of all descriptions,
which the auetioneer (Mr. Wilder sold in
lots for S96I0O. The time occupied by the
sale was 3 hours and 81 minutes. People
had to be active about there We guess the
