The Truth in Love.

Some persons speak the truth harshly. |
They are not corrupt, but they are vindic-
tive. They fancy that the fault and tall |
which are brought 10 their notice must be !
sternly handled. They must cut up the
offender by the roots. They must put down
the criminal instantly, openly, firmly
They set their teeth, straighten their backs
and proceed to discipline the transgressor.
Such individuals are often the very best of
men in all other respects save one. They
have integrity, courage, consistency, every
thing but love. They never feel it, how
ever often they read the 18th of Corinthi
ans; they never read it, as they and all
should always readit, with Glove instead
of charity" If they are teachers, Order
is heavens first, last, and only law; any
Infringement of their maritime edicts brings
forth the rod How our hand blisters yet
in remembrance of the leathern ruler filled
with pegs, which used to be laid on four
year old palm by as good a woman, and as
refined, as the town could boast, who be-
lieved in making all the babies in her room
sit and act like the Oldest Of maids and
bachelors. Some pastors get that craze.
We have heard of one who disciplined
about half his church out of it, not by the
truth he enforced, but by the harsh and
merely just way Of applyingit. This cold,

not scriptural; it is the opposite of Gods
Word and way. 1t is not Christ-like. His
course was directly to the contrary. Be-
fore most insulting Pharisees, most debas-
ed publicans and harlots, he was faithful
and gentle; full of truth also full of
grace. Edwards terrible sermons are de-
nounced as harsh and cruel, and critics
wonder how he dare to Brighten people
with such horrible pictures of the state of
| the lost, wonder too what made his hearers
catch hold of their pew doors in their ag-
ony, and cry out, as there no hope?" 1t
was not the truth that overwhelmed them,
it was the spirit in which it was spoken.
No man ever spoke the saddest truths from
a deeper heart. All his preaching was
wrought in love. He was melted with the
goodness of God. He plead so urgently
because he felt so deeply. He spoke the
truth in love. So has it been with all
great reviyalists; not one of them but was
strikingly possessed of these two great
traits of great souls, truth and love. Every
person should make this state of grace his
You are called to utter the truth. 1t is
often painful utterance; it is often sur
gical operation on a sensitive spirit. BE
careful always to utter it in the spirit OF
love. Take up no railing accusation. Cir
culate no SANDER. Talk not about Others
faul $, merely for the sake of talking. L
all these are truths, your uttering of then
is lie, for you do it in false and Christ
less spirit. Preachers sometimes criticist
each other in the spirit of the devil much
more than of Jesus. They listen to ser
mons only to censure they mention thei
brothers names only to condemn. They
call it truth, when it is only backbiting.-

The Confession of Philosopher.

The ethics of Paganism were the spec
ulations of few highly cultivated individ-
uals and neither had nor could have had
any direct influence upon the masses of
mankind The ethics of christianity were
indossolubly connected with the worship,
hopes and fears of vast religious system,
that acts at least as powerfully on the most
ignorant as on the most educated. 1t was
the distinguishing characteristic of chris
tianity, that its moral influence was not
indirect, casual, remote or spasmodic. I'm
der its influence, doctrines concerning the
nature of God, the Immortality of the soul
and the duties of men, which the noblest
intellects of antiquity could barely grasp,
have become the truisms of the village
school, the proverbs of the cottage and of
the alley
The eye of the Pagan philosopher was
ever fixed upon virtue; the eye of the
christian teacher upon sin. Philosophy
was admirably fitted to dignity and emo
bic, but altogether impotent to regenerate
mankind. 1t did much to encourage vir-
tue, but little or nothing to restrain vice.
A relish and taste for virtue was formed
and cultivated, which attracted many to
its practice; but in this, as in the case of
all our other higher tastes, nature that
was once thoroughly Initiated became alto
gether incapable of approaching it, and
the transformation Of such a nature, which
was continually effected by christianity,
was confessedly beyond the power of phil
osOphy.
Platonism exhorted men toimitate God
the stole to follow reason; the christian to
the love of Christ. The later stoics had
often united their notions of excellence in
an ideal sage, and Epictetus had even urg-
ed his disciples to set before them some
man of surprising elOquence and to i'm
agine him continually near them but the
utmost the stole ideal could become was a
model for imitation, and the admiration il
inspired could never deepen into affection
1t was reserved for christianity to present
to the world an ideal character, which
through all the changes Of eighteen centu
ries has inspired the hearts Of men with al
impassioned love, has shown itself capabl,
of acting on all ages, nations, tempera
ments and conditions, has been not only
the highest patterns of virtue but TIN
strongest incentive to its practice, and ha
exercised so deep an influence that it ma!
be truly said that the simple record o
three short years of active life has don
more to regenerate and soften mankint
than all the disquisitiOn of philosopher
, and all the celebrations of mOralists. Thi
has indeed been the well spring of whatey
er has been best and purestin the christia
life Amid all the sins and failings ami
all the priestcraft and persecution and ia
naticism that have defaced the church,
has preserved, ia the character and exam
:, pie of its founder, an enduring principl
! of regeneration. Perfect love knows n
rights. 1t creates a boundless, uncalcl
lating self-abnegation that transforms ii
character and is the parent of every virtu

Conscience.

tits very busy faculty of the soul, and
it hath many offices. First, conscience is
a register, to take notice of and record
what we do. Secondly, conscience is a
witness against us when we do amiss.-
Thirdly, conscience is judge, and gives
sentence; it sits upon throne as Gods
deputy to award life or death. Fourthly,
conscience has the Office of tormentor
it is that worm that dieth not and fire
that never goeth out. The damned shall
feel the sting and teeth of conscience for
ever, though they have bribed it and blind
ed it that it might not trouble them.

On the Load of Hay.

Some one stole my heart away
Riding on a load of hay;
looked up and he looked down,
Handsome, sunburnt johnny Brown.
"Have a lift?'' said he to me,
While his eyes danced merrily,
eyes, thank you, sir" said /,
Nowise bashful in reply.
Side by side we rode away,
Sitting in the fragrant hay,
Johnny said: cts pleasant weather."
Then we blushed and laughed together;
Johnny whispered then; said he,
''Will you ride again with me?''
What l said shall not tell,
But Johnny liked my answer well.

from Winnepeg to the effect that VIM.
McLorish, the Governor of the Hud-

with the members of the Provisional
Council, in order to defeat the final

remembered, took the oath of ale
glance 20 the Provisional Government,
and was retained in his former Office
at Winnepeg, had endeavored to gain
access TO the prisoners, and being re-
fused, threatened to raise a force to
liberate them; whereupon he was also

A Murderer Shot.

A dispatch from Chicago Of the

day last, ct BeaTdstOWn, H.,
man named Wilcox entered the
saloon OF Treek & Becker, during
their temporary absence, and ASSAULT
ed a drunken man who was in the
saloon, and beat him badly. In a few
minutes Sreek and Becker came in
and the sufferer drew a revolver and
shot Yreek dead; he then shot at
Becker, iuflicting an ugly, dangerous
wound. The murderer was arrested
ana put ia Jail On Friday Yreek
was buried, and there was large
gathering at BeardstOWn, and Just after
dusk a large crowd, mum bering about
five hundred, gathered around
the Jail, and, without employing force,
they took the keys from the sheriff
and entered tHe isil and seized pris-
oner whom they supposed 70 be the
murderer, got rope around his neck,
and then discovered that they had got
the wrong man. IN the meantime,
the murderer, who vas ia another
cell chained 10 the door, was made
aware Of the designs Of the mob. He
got possession OF an iron bar, and, IS
Gee leaders Of the mob prepared to
open the cell door, he warned them
that he wodid aell his life dearly.
This resOlute demeanoF produced a
change OF action, but did not deteet
the purpose OF the leaders. A pistol
sh0tthrough the head sent the soul Of
the murderer to account for his crimes,
and the body was then taken out Of
doors and hung by the neck to tree.

ated his cTtnss was IRON Alabama, an3
