No Armor for the Back.

HNHAT ancient general who burned all
Il the bridges behind him, made no pro-
vision for retreat He intended to teach
his soldiers that there was no escape from
perils that confronted them, but by encoun-
tering them; that their safety was to be
found in victory and conquest, not in fall
ing back. He has made no provision for
retreat. In earthly warfare, these are full
of exposure; in the heavenly they are disas-
ter itself. And, so, when the apostle
enumerates the various parts of the Chris
tian armor, he speaks only of the girdle of
truth, the breast-plate of righteousness,
the sandals of preparation, the shield of
faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword
Of the Spirit. There is no armor for the
back. The back is not to be turned to the
foe; safety is in facing him.
And so also Bunyan's pilgrim found it.
When he espied Appollyon, that hideous
monster, coming out to meet him, with his
dragon wings and his fiery darts, he be-
thought him that he had no armor for his
back; that it was more perilOus to attempt
to escape, than to stand his ground. For
prudence and discretion, piety and charity
had just armed him, from head to foot; as
is shown in the engraving. And SO he
fought and conquered, instead of falling
back. .. ....
1t is great thing for the Christian, to
remember that his safety is in facing his
foe; that no provision had been made for a
retreat; that the law of his life is from con-
quest to conquest; that when he has done
all, he is to stand. This is the posture of
preparation for advance. Obstacles may
force him to halt, but they may not turn
him back. His pathway is forward. An
earthly army may be defeated through in
competent generalship, or because outnum-
bercd by their foes But, not so the Chris
tian. He can be defeated, only when he
turns away from Christ; when he begins to
go away backward from God. For, if he
stand his ground, He that is for him is
mightiei than any that rise up against him.
He will send his enemy bowling from the
field as Christian sent Appollyon.

Nameless Grave.

Among the countless throngs who daily
pass and repass Trinity, New York, how
many know that within few feet Of tho
crowded thoroughfare of Broadway, is a
grave which covers all that remains of q
once beautiful and fascinating oman, the
records of whose sorrows has dimmed the
eyes Of thousands. No date of birth, no
indication Of family, and no date of death,
appears on the stone that covers the grave
of Charlotte Temple. The most beautiful
girl of New York,-a it was claimed, ,-she
attracted the attention of a young officer,
a member of England's Oldest families, who
with his regiment entered New York, when
the British occupied it, after the battle OF
Long Island. Charlotte, tlfen only seven
teen, was wooed and won by the dashing
young officer. Soon after he deserted her
and then--the old story,--she soon after
died of broken heart. A little daughter
which she left was tenderly cared for, at a
proper age she was taken to England, and
fortune of one hundred thousand dollars
settled upon her by the head Of her fathers
family, the late earl Of Derby, grandfather
of the present Lord 6tanely. She, like a
true daughter and true woman, returned
to New York, and erected the monument
that now marks the mothers grave.

A Marriage in Haste.

The Milwaukee Wisconsin says: Tho
Newhall house recently was scene of a
matrimonial occurrence, which for neat
ness and dispatch in execution challenges
comparison. On the noon train there camo
to this city gentleman from Kenosha, the
Eight Rev. Father Doherty, and young
man bearing the aristocratic name of Des-
mond They Immediately betook them
selves to the Newhall house, and, as soon
as they had registered their names, the re-
verend gentleman asked to see Miss Fanny
Cary, one of the waitercsses of the hotel.
Although she was at the time engaged in
waiting on the table, his business appeared
to be SO urgent that she was summoned
herty in the hall. After exchanging the
usual compliments and benedictions Of the
season, the clergyman, who it seems, had
had long been acquainted with Miss Cary,
told her without further explanations, that
a young gentleman friend of his, who ac-
companied him, was about to settle down
in life, had made his fortune, and having
determined to take partner for better or
for worse, had consulted him as to an eli
gible person.
That he had Immediately suggested that
Fanny Cary was just the person for the
place, and that, Desmond on the strength
of his recommendation, had decided to offer
himself to her, and bring about, if possible,
and immediate consumation of the matter.
After stating these facts, the Reverend
Father made formal proposal to the
young girl in behalf of Desmond.
The proposal was accepted, Desmond
summoned the couple, who had never seen
each other before, introduced, and by four
o'clock the ceremonies were performed by
the Rev. Mr.. Doherty, and without waiting
for congratulations the newly married cou-
pie set out for Fox Lake, the residence of
Desmond. Desmond is said to be man
of considerable means, owning property
about Fox Lake to the amount of $40, 600.

A Knock Down Argument.

There is much of in6delity of kind
which cannot be easily argued out of mems
minds. 1t has its seat in the heart and
nothing in the shape of argument can affect
it, so long as the skeptic remains in health,
strength and courage. But times of storm
or danger will como when all this bravery
and courage fails, and then this infldelity
flies like dream.
An English paper reports that q Mr..
Bradlaugh, a noted infidel, having conclu-
ded lecture, presented his doctrines to
the people and called upon any person pres
ent to reply to his argument, If they could
A collier arose in the assembly, and spoke
somewhat as follows -
"Maister Bradlaugh, me and my mate
Jem were both Methodys till one of these
infidel chaps came this way. Jem turned
infidel and used to badgerme bout tending
prayer meetings; but one day in the pit, a
large cob of coal come down on Jem's
head. Jem thought he was killed and,
all, mon but he holler and cry to God r.
Then turning to Mr.. Bradlaugh, with a
knowing look, he said !:
"Young man, there is now't like cobs of
coal for knocking inadelity out Of man."

A Little Candle but Shining Far.

A mother, on the green hill of Vermont,
was holding by the right hand son, six
teen years old, mad with the love of the sea.
And as he stood by the garden gate one
morning, she said:
edward, they tell me, for never saw
the ocean, that the great temptation of a
seaman's life is drink. Promise me before
you quit your mothers hand, that you will
never drink liquor"
"And," said he for he told the story,
81 gave the promise, and went the globe
over, to Calcutta and the Mediterranean,
San Francisco and the Cape of Good Hope,
the North and South poles; saw them all
in forty years, and never saw glass filled
with sparkling liquor that my mothers S
form at the gate did not rise up before my
eyes, and to-day am innocent of the taste
of liquor"
Was that not sweet evidence of the pow
er of single word i? yet that is not half;
"for," still continued he, yesterday there
came into my counting-room man of forty
years"
"Do you known me ?"
"No."
"Well," said he, 81 was brought drunk
into your presence on ship-board; you were
n passenger; they kicked me aside; you
took me to your berth and kept me there
till had slept off the intoxication; you
then asked me if ! had another; said i
had never heard a word from her lips; you
told me ofyours at the garden-gate, and to-
day | am master of one of the finest ships
in New York harbor, and l come to ask
you to come and see me-"
How far the little candle throws its
beam The mothers words on the green
hills of Vermont God be thanked for the
mighty power of single word

Effects Of u Dream.

The Fort Wayne Sentinel says: A gentle
man of high social position living in this
county has a son engaged as a clerk in a
large mercantile house in Omaha A few
weeks ago the father received letter from
his son to the effect that he had been rob-
bed of $4,000 belonging to his employer in
returning from a collecting trip into the
country. The father was naturally troub-
led by the intelligence, and when he retired
to his room for the night he lay awake for
some time thinking of the occurrence. At
last he fell asleep, and as it seemed to him
he was sitting by a table in bed-chamber
of-Hotel of Omaha, listening to the
conversation of two young men who were
recalling the particulars of robbery in
which they had just been concerned, while
they counted over the proceeds of the same
with an exultant air.
Learning the number of their room he
descended the stairs, consulted the register,
fixed their names in memory, together
with the date under which they were writ
ten and then awoke He Immediately wrote
a letter to his son requesting him to call
at the--Hotel, look at the register, and
if he found the names of John B. Wilson
and James Frank inscribed ON its page
under the date of November, to have the
parties found, arrested and charged with
the theft of the five thousand dollars. The
son followed the directions, and from a
letter received by the father we learn that
the said John b, Wilson and James Frank
were arrested at the said hotel, that they
confessed to the felony, that $4,St2 Of tho
lost money was recovered, and that tho
offenders had been sent to the penitentiary.

head by big chunk of coal would upset
the courage and with it the skepticism of
stronger infidels than "my mate Jem. "
Many an infidel has discarded his infidelity
and cried to God for mercy in sickness or in
danger both on land and sea but who ever
heard of a Christian turning from his faith
in the hour of peril, and forsaking God
when death was at the door?

tB The town of Peshtigo, which was
literally destroyed by fro, has been almost
entirely restored already to its former con-
dition. The greatest disadvantage the in
habitants suffer from, is want of water. All
the streams flowing from the burnt district
are SO impregnated with lye that the water
cannot be used, and that tho people have
to melt snow to obtain the daily allowance.

EB- A bill was lately introduced in the
Alabama Legislature to prohibit the sale OF
liquor within two miles of Zion Church,
Montgomery county. The bill was read
twice, and was on the verge of passing
when, at the last moment, it was discovered
that it was negro church, just outside the
corporation OF the Capital city, and of
course the interdiction was equivalent to
shutting off tho supply from the city, as
well as the entire Legislature. Tho mem
Der introducing the bill was not aware of
where the church was located. The bill

Prof Agassiz aud his scientific COM
panions who are accompanying the Pacific
coast survey expedition, haye already been
heard from. They have been on the Qui
UiUe for marine monsters ever since they
left Boston, and, while passing through the
gulf stream, their vigilance was rewarded by
the discovery of a fish's nest in the saragas-
sum or gulf weed which floats in the great
current. The nest is described as a bunch
Of sea weed knit together into a rOundish b
mass, by innumerable elastic thre eads,
irending through it in every direction.
The eggs were about the size
of pin heads, and were beaded on these
threads, in clusters. Of course the discov-
cry plunged the party Of sdUGns into most
intense excitement, and microscopes and
instruments with unpronounceable names
were leyeled at the strange object. For
some days speculation was rife as to the
name of the builder ofthe nest. All were
agreed that it was or of the pelagic
species, but which one was the question:
One learned gentleman gave his opinion in
favor of the exocetus; another thought it
was the naucrates, while others thought
that the chronicles, the synguethus, the
monacantbus, the tetraodon or the diOdon
was the cunning artificer. After several
days of anxious investigation the common
pelagic chironectes was declared to be en-
titled to the credit, and the happy discovery
was announced to tie scientific circles at
the Hub and in Gotham, through long
and very learned communication from
Prof. ACaSsiz.

HOUSE.

Rev. De Sala, of Montreal, in opening
prayer gave thanks that by the treaty of
Washington the evils Of war had been
averted.
Mr.. Crebs introduced a bill for the i'm
provement ofthe Great Wabash and survey
Of the Lide Wabash rivers. Referred.
The Arkansas Ku-KuIux.
Mr.. Poland from the Select Committee
on InsurTectionary States made a report,
stating that testimony had been taken be-
fore the subcommittee which impeached
the official character and conduct of Senator
Clayton, of Arkansas, and affected the
right to his seat of Representative Edwards
of Arkansas; that resolution had been
adopted that these cases should be brought
to the attention of the respective houses.
1t was moved that the testimony in the
case of Edwards Je referred to the Com
mittee on Elections. So ordered.
Mr.. McCrary, from the Committee on
Elections, in the Virginia contested election
case of Mckenzie against BraXtOn, made
report that BraxtOn, the sitting member,
was entitled to the seat. Ordered printed.
SuperhuOus Coinage.
Mr.. Wiley, of Pennsylvania, from the Com
mittee on Coinage, reported a bill revising
the laws relative to coinage.
Mr.. Potter said he did not see the neceS-
sity of legislating on coinage when the
country had had no coin in circulation for
the last ten years, and not likely to have it
for ten years to come.
The House then proceeded TO consider
the bill in Committee of the Whole.
Mr.. Maynard moved to amend the section
which provides the appointment Of Director
of the Mint, striking out the words "whO
shall hold Office for five years, unless sooner
removed" for cause shown. He argued
that tenure of Office should not be limited
to five years, and the office then thrown
open for general scramble.
Mr.. Garfield opposed the amendment.
He spoke of the civil service reform as pro-
posing only to take care of the front door,
to which appointments are made,while they
left the back door of removals wide open.
Mr.. Holman moved to amend by striking
out only the words "unless sooner re
moved,'' which was rejected. Yeas 58;
nays 103.
Mr.. Willard moved to amend by provid-
ing that Director of the Mint shall hold
Office during good behavior. Rejected.
Pending the consideration of the motion
Of Mr.. Garfield to reduce the salaries of
the officers provided for, the House, on
motion of Mr.. Dawes, who said he opposed
an increase of salaries, adjourned, that the
question might be carefully considered to-
morrow.

THE EISK TRAGEDY.
Finding Of the COrOner'S Jury.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The Fisk inquest
was resumed this afternoon. ~
Patrick Hart, porter at the Grand Central
Hotel, testified to helping Fisk to the re-
ceptiOn room and to subsequently picking
up bullet.
Capt Byrne of the Police identified the
bullet as the one given him by Crockett who
got it from Hart. He also identified the
pistol found by la6y on sofa near the
stair case. Two barrels are discharged.
DR.. Tnpley testified of the wounds of
Fisk, and that the one in the abdomen was
necessarily fatal shock, and the peritonitis
arising from the penetration of two loops of
the intestines, making four holes, caused
death. Probing for the bullet had nothing
to do with it.
Fisk's ante mortem statement was read,
despite the objection Of prisoners counsel.
DR.. Marsh read the result of the post
mortem, and produced the ball. He also
thought the wound necessarily fatal.
Counsellor Graham protested that it was
burlesque of justice to give the case to the
jury without allowing it to be proved that
Fisk was armed and was as much prepared
to take life as Stokes, but the Coroner de-
clined to take any exception, and left the
case to the jury.
The jury retired at 5 O'Clock; and at 1850
submitted the verdict, which all signed, that
Fisk came to his death in consequence of a
wound or wounds inflicted by a ball or
balls from pistol in the hands of Edward
S. Stokes, discharged by him in a deliber-
ate manner at the person of said Fisk, at
the Grand Central Hotel.
The Coroner committed Stokes to the
ToOmbS to await the action of the graud
jury.
His counsel urged the Coroner not to
send the case before either of the grand
juries now in session, on account of the
present excited state of the public, and said
he would be justified by the act which says
the papers shall be sent to the next term of
the grand jury.
The district Attorney said by the next
term was understood any part of the then
current term.
The Coroner has reserved his opinion.
Miss Mansfield q Prisoner In Her Own
Miss Mansfeld's house is closely guarded
by officers under orders of the Coroner, to
prevent her leaving it without his special
permission.
