Francis smith.

Resolutions Of sympathy and respect
adopted by the Baptist Church, Rutland,
VI. on the death OF their former pastor,
Rev. Francis Smith:
WHEREAS, II has pleased Almighty
God to take from the cares and tolls of
.Qrth. 10 the rest and rewards of heaven,
our highly esteemed and much beloved
brother in Christ, and former pastor,
Rev. Francis Smith, therefore,
Reaogced. That in the death of Broth
.r Smith we recognize the painful fact
That the church Of Christ has lost an
earnest, pure minded, prayerful Chris
tian: the pulpit faithful and success
ful minister; the temperance reform an
nntiring advocate; the world a bright
example of massuming piety, and his
family an affectiOnate husband and low
ing father.
Resoleed, That we tender to his be-
reaved and sorrowing widow and family
our deep sympathy in this hour OF sore
aff1iction. and assure them Of our earnest
PRAYERS at the throne Of Grace in their
behalf
Reso7ged, That these resolutions be
entered on our church records, and a
duly attested copy be sent to the be
reaved family. Also that they be pub
lished in the Vatchmaan and Reflector,
and our local papers.
Done by and in behalf of the church,
this 4th day of February, 1872.

The most direct approach to the heart

The most direct approach to the heart
is through the imagination. Says Jean
Paul in speaking of the education of
daughters, ''Take care that through re-
igion and poetry you keep their hearts
OPEN" Pure intellectual culture has too
great prominence in our system of edu-
cation. Pure logic is not always the
most potent agency in teaching and
convincing. Taking the reason is not
taking the man.
The speaker illustrated his views Of
culture by many and apt quotations from
our finest poets and authors, Dana,
Burns, Wordsworth, and others.
We cannot refrain from quoting a
few more passages from the address
We cannot do justice to its merits-for
like good wine person must need taste
to appreciate; and we must beg the au-
thors pardon for the imperfect manner
in which we have reported his really fine
effort.
"a handsome person who does moth
ing but eat, drink, grows flabby and the
fine lines of his features are lost; but
the hard thinker has always a fines culp-
tor at work keeping his fine lines in re-
pair and constantly going over his face
to improve the original design"
But there is one book which embod-
les the excellences of all literature
which is in itself library of books
that is as diversified as the book of ma
ture-around us as beautiful as the
same book above us, i'll which meet and
are bound together the sublimest poetry,
the simplest and most tender narrative,
the wisest and safest philosophy, the
truest history ever written; which if we
read as We ought, our spirits will go
into the future, not only richly freight
ed but thoroughly furnished, opening
like the flowers of an hundred years to
the first possibilities of being ever fully
adapted to their wants gathering from
the lips of wisdom infinite that which
has been put into no written volume,
which eye hath not seen, which ear
hath not heard, and which has never
entered into the heart of man"

Faith Justified.


| DEACON ADAMS RELATES HIS EXPERIENC
l amt ashamed to testify
What faith has done for me.
When, with the naked, 1eshy eye.
My way could not see;s
For Il have kept the faith as Paul
+ Remarked to Timothy.
Sometimes I have been sorely tried
BY soul-besetting doubt:
Yea, in extremity have lied
And almost been found out!
But that was when adversely
Had comprised me about
Yet faith has triumphed In the end,
And always brought me through;
For which my daily thanks ascend
To Him to whom they're due
Except when l am busy. or
Have some sly job in view.
y year ago bought a boss,
Whose style my fancy struck,
But early recognized my loss
he wasn't worth a shuck!
All, brethren, twas bitter cross
The thought that was ''8tuck."
He was very snowy brute,
But most amazing slow:
1t somehow never seemed so suit
That animal to go.
He always seemed DISCOURAGED BY
y sense OF endless whoa!
Ny faith was sadly shaken,
BY that eighty-dOllar trade,
Yet the Psalmist want mistaken
Il haven't seem" he said,
The righteous man forSakGn,
Nor his seed begging bread"
And sure enough there came along
y horse-dealing dead-beat,
On whom "Came it" rather strong.
BY what might, seelA QeGeit-~
Though l can hardly deem it wrOny
The wicked to defeat.
The Spanish flies were thick that day,
And some got in the feed
How suddenly that boss WaXcd gay
And how increased his speed
Y ca, outWardly and inwardly
lie was fiery Stced.
The jockey scoffed at style and pace
In phrases quite prOfane:
Then shook three ''ffttes" in my face
And shook them not in vain.
The lucre quite enticed me, though.
His language gave me pain
ought to have rcproved hum,
For the wicked words he SAID,
But anger might have moved him.
T. repudiate the trade;
Besides, he was, already, most
Essentially flayed
Thus I broughtlow that map OF sin.
And saved myself from loss
And, brethren, trials lOrAg have been,
To me, like that old boss

What seemed bitter cross.
Thus things are sure TO come 'rOl9u0 rfgT
For those who live in faith;
What ''walk by faith. and not by sight. -
AS the Apostles saith:
And, while it pays, Imean to be
Found faithful unto death.$

The Indictments of the New
York Grand Jury--Mayer Hall
In Court

NEW YORK, Feb. II.
The announcement of the fact that
the Grand Jury would on Saturday pre-
sent indictments against Mayor Hall,
Nathaniel Sands and others of the ring
caused great number of citizens be-
longing to the more respectable classes
to assemble in the court of General Ses-
sions. AT II o'clock Judge Bedford en-
tered the court and took his seat upon
the bench, when some regular routine
business was disposed of The Grand
Jury was sent for and in a few minutes
came in, accompanied by Mayor Hall.
The members of the Grand Jury having
taken their seats, DR.. COmstock handed
to the court bundle of indictments. A
statement was then read by the Secre-
tary in regard to the labors of the grand
jury and the work accomplished by that
body. They had, it stated, acted in
some four hundred and sixty cases.
THE GRAND JURY DISCHARGED.
The frauds, in the investigation Of
which they had been engaged, had caused
a loss to the city of at least $50, 900, 900.
With the request that they now be dis
charged from their labors, the statement
concluded. Judge Bedford replied to
the foreman Of the grand jury i'll a fit
ing manner, thanking them for their
services and uniform courtesy exhibited
toward the Court and all connected With
it, and then discharged them.
MAYOR HALL ARRAIGHED.
Mayor Hall was then arraigncd before
Judge Bedford, when he said I appear
to respond to the action of this court.
Twice before it, have been counsel for
officials charged with official misdc-
meanor. One was a Judge of this very
tribunal, the other was a former Mayor
They were each absolved as I expect to
be. I am here to offer bail I am here
to name all the Inequalities committed
by the grand jury, and believe them to
have been many nor do I demur to the
indictment nor move to Quash it. Iplead
to the general issue, and ask that an
early day be appointed forthe trial This
is manifestly due to the public and to
the accused, who has patiently awaited
through much malice and persecution

possible, Monday week. Also, IS II is
announced that your honor leaves the
city to obtain relaxation from aTduous
