human soul will sooner or later receive it's
full measure of happiness according to, It's
capacities. And to show how these may
be increased by the cultivation Of our moral
faculties was one Of the objects embraced In
the mission OF Jesus. This could not be better
accomplished than by showing us an example
that we could understand and attempt to imi-
tate. II Is this union of the divine with the
human SO perfectly presented before us in the
person Of Jesus that has led, and is leading,
the heart Of humanity to appreciate and cherish
His character and teachings. eaas
/ The progress Of Christianity in tho world
can never again be seriously interrupted.
The periods have passed when paganism could
assume the ascendancy. Much ignorance and
superstition prevail among peoples yet, We
admit but ignorance and superstition have
been for centuries gradually giving way under
the regenerating influence Of Christianity,
and at no period since the Creation has man
kind attained higher stage Of development
than at the present. Never before were
the principles Of progress so prominent or the
signs Of the times for the future 30 full Of
promise. The arts and sciences, the hand
maids of Christian civilization, are every
where aiding the completion Of the work
commenced by, Christ, whoss nativity
We now commemorate. Steam, cleo
tricity and the press are each and all
contributing toward the communication of tho
grand design Of the Creator for the smeliora-
tion Of humanity. By means Of rapid COM
munication all the nations Of the earth are
being brought closer together, and with 1t we
have repealed evidence Of the interchange Of
kindly sympathies, which is one Of the funda-
mental principles Of Christianity. With uni
versal liberty we shall have universal intelli-
genoe. and this win inaugurate the era of uni
versal brotherhood and universal peace-the
feeling Of the whole human race that as the
children of one Father they have common
sympathy and . common destiny. In this
grand and glorious work we must not forget
our mission as Americans. The eyes of tho
oppressed in other lands are turned toward
us, and in our influence and example are CEN
tired the hopes Of liberty everywhere-civil
and religious. Already the influence
of the United States has been felt and
followed to greater or lesser extent in other
and older nations. Wo believe that within
the present century Christianity has received
an impetus in the United States greater than it
has ever yet received in any other country. The
manifest destiny" Of the United States is to
establish, firm as the Rock of Ages, on the
whole of the American Continent the highest
possible development Of Christian civilization,
and to be . bright and shining light
among tho nations. Each has it's
mission 70 perform and each can render
to the other sympathy and assistance
in promoting the cause Of Christianity, which
is the amelioration Of mankind BY tho cultiva-
tion Of all the gifts and graces which will
enable us to enjoy the benefits and blessings
Of a glorious Immortality. 3assb ss4a5 '.aa

THE TIMES ARE OUT OF JOINT.

Politically speaking, the times must
be fearfully out of joint IN California
when such utter confusion reigns asto
candidates and political organizations
as now exist in that state. The lead
ing Republican Journals, like drown
ing men catching at straws, are trying
to fish up from the debris of Democ-
racy a candidate to lead the Radical
cohorts in the coming campaign.
Mayor Selby, of san Francisco, who
has heretofore acted with the Demo
cratic party, has been exhumed and
is being pushed to the front as a man
every way worthy 10 head the party
of great moral ideas III a .forlorn
hope OF the wayerins lines Of Dcmoc-
racy. There is Il prospect that three can
didates will be III the field, all Of whom
will be Democrats, provided Selby is
the nominee of the Radicals. lIaight,
Johnson and Selby, subsidy, anti

A HOME FO2 THE INSANE "A LIB
ERAL PROPOSITION.

We were informed yesterday by 4
responsible citizen of Washoe county,
that the Board of Commissioners Of
that county were ready and willing to
donate TO the State the large and conf
modious courthouse at Washoe City
for the accommodation of the insane,
rs soon a the county seat removal
takes place, which will be about the
first of April, we believe. Inasmuch
rs this building cost nearly one hun
dred thousand dollars, and is a large
and commodious structure, well suit
cd for a home for the insane, we re-
gard the proposal as extremely liberal
and one worthy the immediate atten-
ton of the Legislature. There is no
place in the State better suited for the
location of an insane asylum than
Washoc City. II is located on the
shore of Washoe Lake, a beautiful
body OF water nesting close ut the
base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains
which rise in solemn grandeur abov,
the floating clouds that sleep agains
the western sky. To the eastward o
the lake a succession of mountain
gradually sink away into the vale.

Within the last few months Southern
securities of nearly every description
have gained in public confidence in

clan cursed section of our country 10

SO far restored in the stability of their
institutions AZ TO give healthy values
to such securities As they may have to
offer in exchange for coin to carry on
