Leaning on God.


Resting on an arm Of flesh seems
to be the hereditary disease of Gods
people. They fly first to this and
then to that, but forget their true and
only resting place. The simple
walk of faith, trusting and leaning
alone upon the Invisible, how diff
cult it is to bring ourselves to it,?
We would have some favorite child
to lean upon, or husband, or wife, or
friend. Our abilities, or something
or other that we can see and han
die, shall be the golden calf which
we set up and say, "These be thy
gods, o Israeli" Here is great
difficulty, then, to wean US from
crutches, which are promoters Of
spiritual lameness.
/ have never met q child that b I'D
any fear about the nurses power to
hold it up. She put her arms about
it, and it trusts itself with her, lean
| ing wholly upon her, But we appear
to be afraid of leaning hard upon
God; we cannot leave ourselves with
him; we don't throw ourselves right
back on the Divine bosom. Yet
there is no true rest to ourselves
till we do. As long as we are trying
to support ourselves in some meas
ure or degree, we have not yet come
70 the rest Of faith. I have known
people who went in the sea to learn
to swim, but they never dare take
their feet of the bottom, and l do not
see how they ca n swim while they
also endeavor to stand on their feet.
Standing and swimming cannot be
managed at the SAINT time. So there
are souls that would fain trust them
serves to the goodness of God, but
they cannot be content without an
earthly prop. They cannot quite
cast themselves upon God, and trust
in the stream of his abundant faith
fulness; they cannot walk by faith;
they must have some way or other
of clingiDg to the flesh, Oh, for
grace to be willing to believe in God!

Alsaos ana Lorains--The Armv.

Unanimous and trustworthy ac-
counts from al parts Of Alsace-L -Lor-
raine leave no doubt that the first
levy Of young men for the German
military service has taken place IN
the most orderly manner, and in the
forms prescribed by Law. This is a
great disappointment to the prophets
who predicted that the first levy
would furnish no recruits at all Il
is true that the proportion Of the
latter varies considerably in partic-
ular places, and that there Is 9 great
difference between the town and the
country-to the advantage Of the
country; but still the results Of the
levy surpass the most sanguine ex-
pectations that had been formed Of
an event which is still a serious and
memorable one for Alsace-L Lorraine.
Without indulging in speculstions
on the further effects-Which may in
part be already foreseen-of the first
success, and confidently leaving the
future to itself, Of one thing We are
fully convinced, that the next years
levy in Alsaee-L Lorraine will furnish
the full yearly contingent, and bring
to the German army the expected
increase in homogeneous strength.

The oneida Community.

It may interest those who contem-
plate joining the Oneida community,
and who insist upon their three
meals a day, to know that the emf
nently wise and yirtuous, and, we
may add, economical directors ofthe
body, have ordered that from and
after Monday next that but two
meals per day shall be served, as
they have come to the conclusion
that eating is principally a habit,
which can be broken by degrees.
We trust tho rule will be rigidly en-
forced. and that every brother who
carries crackers in his pocket, and
every sister who visits the pantry
between meals, viii at once be ex-
pellsd. After q few months prac-
tice these propose to make another
reduction, a step which will thor
oughlv test the strength of the 0nei-
dan faith.

The Northern Pacific Railroad.

The commission appointed to in.
spect the Minnesota division of the
Northern Railroad, prior to its aecep-
tsnce by the government, made their
report to the Secretary Of the In
terror, substantially as follows: The
section examined is found to be 10.
Gated, both with reference to
through and local traffic. The
grades are light, three'fourths Of the
distance being below the average Of
thirty feet. The sharpest curve is
three degrees in radius. Two thous-
and feet embabkments and excavs-
tions are within the requirements Of
the law The ballasting is well
done, with gravel. The rolling stock
is uniformly of excellent quality and
in good condition, and amply sufl.
cient for all the present and near fu-
ture requirements. The engine
houses and repair shops are deemed
to be adequate. Mention is made Of
the emigrant houses at Brainard,
Glyndon and Dulutch, as being con
structed with furniture and cooking
utensils for the free use Of those in
tending to settle on the company's
or government lands. The snow
fences, water stations and telegraph
lines are considered ample for their
purposes. The report closes Is fol-
lows: "Having found this portion
Of the road to be judicio1sly located,
well constructed and adequately
equipped, and believing that it sub
stsntially meets the requirements Of
both the letter and the spirit Of the
law and the department regulations,
the commissioners recommend its
acceptance by the government.
The report covers q distance Of 23s
miles.

SINCE you AND I WERE YOUNG
MAGGIE.

I wandered to-day to the hills, Maggie,
To watch the scenes below,
The creek and the creaking old mill, Maggie,
As we used to long ago.
The green grass is gone from the hills, Maggie,
Where first the daisies sprung,
The creaking old mill is still, Maggie,
Since you and I we're young.
CHORUS.
And now weare aged and gray, Maggie,
The trials of life are nesfly done,
Let Us sing of the days that are gone. Masgi
When you and were young.
A city so silent and lone, Maggie,
Where the young, and the gay, and the blest,
In polished white mansions Of stone, Maggie,
Have each found place Of rest.
Is built where the birds used to play, Maggie,
And join in the songs that We sung;
For we sang as gay as they, Maggie,
When You and were Young.
CHoRus-And now We are aged. &C
They say am feeble with age. Maggie,
Ny steps are less Pprightly than then,
Ny face Is a well written page, Maggie,
But time alune is the pen
They say We are aged, and gray. Maggie.
As sprays by the wild breakers hnng,
But to mo you are as dear as you were, Maggie,
When you and were young.

eThe American Conflict" written
BY Horace Greeley, was published
in this city by o. D. Case & Co,
who we're compelled, after the first
volume Was in type, 70 keep presses

demand Of agents. No book prev

a rapid sale, excepting perhaps Mrs.
Stoves famous novel. Nearly, II
not quite, two hundred and iifty
Thousand copies of first YOlame
were disposed Of, and the sale was
still going on successfully when the
second volume appeared. The pub
fishers we're justified in supposing
that the second would have an ex-
tensive a sale as the first volume, as
every one who had purchased the
book for its historical value would
surely get the complete thing.
When the sale Of the second volume
had reached some sixty or seventy
thousand copies, and lightning press-
ses we're rushing it or by hundreds
every day to meet the urgent call Of
agents in the field, Mr.. Greeley
signed the bail bond of JET Davis,

States Senatorship when he publish
ed an article in the Tribune follow
ing close upon the end Ofthe war, in
favor Of universal amnesty; and, sec
ond, threw away q fortune when be
signed the bond for therelease Of JEFF
ferson Davis. Undoubtedly the last
statement has reference to the sale
OF, "The American Conflict" And
that he did sacrifice a fortune, OF
good part Of one, is evident from
the fact that 50 far as the sale ex-
tended he was paid blythe publishers
fifty thousand dollars. Out Of this,
probably it did not cost him over
$4,000 for the work Of assistants, 50
that he cleared a handsome sum, but
it is supposed that he saved only q
very little Of it, IS he was constantly
giving, giving-and very many times
to people who imposed upon his
crsdnlity. The book now is sold
to some extent, netting to Mr.. Gree

Probably the heaviest blast on
record was made few days ago, by
the Richmond, Virginia, Granite
Company. A solid block Of stone,
of fine quality and sixty feet in
length, fifty feet in depth and forty
six feet wide, was displaced without
fracture. This enormous block
measured $4,000 cubic feet and
weighs 1880 tons, or 100000
pounds. In 1870 the same COM
pany obtained a stone weighing 1S,-
100000 pounds, which was then
considered q remarkable success in
blasting. If any body designs erec-
ting a pyramid on the western plains
that company ought to take the con-
tract.

unusual ples that the marriage was
compulsory and contracted under

getting him there, was so anxious
for an immediate marriage between
the plaintiff and his daughter that

The German Reformed Church
General Synod, in session at Cincin-
natl, has made a decision upon the
question of divorce, very much re-
sembling that which the United
Presbyterian Synod delivered in Dr..
Prestley's case recently. A Rev
erend Henry Khepper, minister from
0rsngeburg, Illinois, was divorced
from his wife and afterwards mar
ried LAZY who was divorced from
her husband. His classes deposed
him from Office and excommunfcated
him from the church, which action
was subsequently reversed by Dis
trict Synod. The General Synod,
however, reversed in turn the judg-
ment of the lower tribunal and rein
stated that of tie Classes, so that
Rev. Khepper continues deposed-
The vote stood 50 to 4S.

University of Wooster.

We would call the attention of our
readers to the fact that the University
of Wooster opens its third year on
Wednesday the 18th of this month. The
indications of decided increase in the
number of students we learn, is very
fiattering. In connection with this
opening will be held the exercises of
the annual Commencement. These ex-
ercises begin on the Sabbath preceding,
Sept. 10th. The Baccalaurate Discourse
by the President will be preached Sab
bath P. N. at 8 O'clock in the University
Chapel. On Sabbath evening at half
past7, Prof. Evans of Lane Seminary,
will address the Brainard, Society, and
on Monday evening Rev. DR.. MeIlvaine
of Newark, New Jersey, will deliver
the annual address to the Literary So
cieties of the University. Both these
gentlemen are men of fine abilities.
On Tuesday evening will be held the
annual exhibition of the Junior Class.
Among the exercises of this occasion,
will be an Grafton in Greek, forthe gen.
eral benefit. On Wednesday at 10
o'clock will occur the annual Com
meneemeno; when the graduating class
will deliver Orations and the customary
degrees be conferred by the President.
We hope the citizens Of Millersburg
and Holmes county will show their in
terest in this young University by their
presence in large numbers.
