for several weeks till [ could have time Tor
the Vatican, and now that have got there,
| find so7much that it would be unreasonable
to add an account of it to this already too
long letter. Before concluding | must say
a word about Mrs. Ner (also called Cooper
as a most excellent sick nurse. She is an
English lady, although she says she came
here as lady's maid She married an ltal.
ian shop keeper in good circumstances, had
her own house and servants, and was living
happily when her husband was banished

for the same reason that Jezebel took
Naboth's vineyard, lie had property which
the Pope and Antonelli fancied. His pro-
perty was siezed, and sold; and ne returned
with the ten thousand exiles who had been
treated in the same way, when Victor Eman-
uel came to the throne of Italy, including
the Papal States.
And now that 1 have fitted my readers
with good hotel, good physician, and a
good nurse, must say goodbye to you, and
to them. This letter is fragmentary, for
family reasons already alluded to, and for
the same reason there is often an abruptness
in passing from one subject to another.

Mans Desire for knowledge.

The child is curious to know this or that; !;
in later years this desire may be applied to
very unworthy things, and yet there is that
curiosity, that desire: we want to hear, to
see, and to learn something. We may have
very low conceptions, unworthy of us, but
when that desire is applied to proper objects,
man looks out and understands the works
God has made. His Fathers hand kas
formed this universe, and he longs to under
stand it; and he walks on earth, and enjoys
its mountains, its hills and plains, and sees its
rivers, and stands on the edge of its ocean,
and listens to the murmur of it's waves, and
everywhere recognizes the handiwork OF
God, and he wants to know more. The
more man knows, the more he wants to
know the more he sees, the more he wants to
see; and if he looks out and sees the plants
of earth, he is anxious to find the last one.
If he turns to examine the species and
genera Of animate nature, he is anxious to
extend his inquiries further; if he travels
over the globe, he is anxious to know all
about it; and he will fit ont vessels to pierce
through the polar ice with the earnest desire
to find exactly where and how the polar
regions are; and will wander through deserts,
climb over mountains, 60 to inhospitable
regions and risk his life to fad out more Of
earth; but when he begins to know some
thing about the universe, and reads the laws
of science, and finds what they are to some
extent, he is anxious to know more and tc
90 further and further, but is never satisfied
There is not, in all the great universe, thai
which can satisfy mans longing, because be
gets the longing from God; he inherits it; il
is his Father in him, and that feeling urges
him out more and more, more and more

A Plea for Consistency.

Of all the lecturers whose names are
household words, are there none who will go
through the country and talk face to face
with the people on the stupendous folly of
our sectarian division ?-New York Witness.
Could not the same remark apply with
equal force to the political divisions of the
people? We think the observation of our
esteemed cotemporary is only glttering
generality. No free government can exist
without parties, and no free Church can ex-
ist without divisions founded on doctrine and
principle. They may be troublesome and
abused, but they are safe. We should strive
to keep them free from unnecessary evils,
and let real and practical harmony exist
among those which hold to the Head and
love. the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.
In relation to this subject Mr.. Gladstone,
in recent address, delivered to the students
of Liverpool College, made the following per.
tinent remarks. We think them worthy Of
quotation, and applicable to many glittering
generalities and platitudes we hear and read
on variety and diversity in things not per-
tanning to the substance of doctrine. The
Premier says -" You will hear much to the
effect that the divisions amongst Christians
are such that they render it impossible to
say what Christianity is, and so destroy the
certainty, all certainty, in religion. But if
the divisions of Christians are remarkable,
not less so is the degree of their unity in
the greatest doctrines that they hold. Well
nigh 1900 years, years of more sustained
activity than the world had ever before seen,
have passed away since the great contro-
verses of Christendom, concerning the Deity
and the Person of the Redeemer were, after
long agony, determined As before that
time, in a manner less defined, but ade-
quate for the day, SO ever since that time,
amid all chance and change, it is mere mat
ter of fact to state that more, ay, many
more, than ninety-nine in every hundred
Christians have with one will confessed the
Deity and Incarnation of our Lord as the
cardinal and central truths Of our religion.
Surely there is some comfort here, some
sense of brotherhood, some glory in the
past, some hope for the times that are to
coma "

In the Bibliotheca Sacra for January DR..
w. M. Thompson, author of 1.-The Land
and the Book" gives some fresh explana-
tions of the fgurative language of Scrip
ture. Thus the oftrepeated petition, Lord,
lift thou up the light of thy countenance
upon us" is best understood and illustrated by
picturing to ones self a royal sovereign and
Judge in his hall of audience, seated upon a
low cushion, rug, or mat. According to Od.
entail custom in this position the accused or
the suppliant, standing before him, could
not see his face, especially when bent down
in displeasure, as implied in the form of
the petition. This relative attitude can be
seen any day in the audienceroom of Turk
ish pachas and judges. The petitioners are
not allowed to sit down; but must stand,
with hands humbly clasped together, and
thus wait the pleasure of him whose will is
law. If the petition is accepted, the favor
granted, or the suppliant pardoned, the man
of doom and destiny lifts up his head, and
with benignant smile dismisses the rejoic-
ing suppiant. But to turn aside the face, look
down, and thus hide the countenance has al
ways been and still is in this Eastern world
an alarming omen, fOreboding rejection, iu-
prisonment, or death, as the case may be.
Moreover, these Orientals can and do, when
they choose, wonderfully darken the coun-
tenance. l have seen it, says DR.. Thomp-
son, gather absolute blackness, like por-
tentous cloud, ready to explode in death
dealing thunderbolts. And, on the other
hand when greatly delighted, the whole face
is overspread with warm, brilliant glow,
very beautiful and fascinating. This is
what suggested the petition so oft repeated
in the eighteenth Psalm: Turn us again,
0 God; and cause thy face to shine, and We
shall be saved" Imagine a suppliant for
mercy, standing in an agony of doubt and
fear before his offended sovereign, who hides
his frownipg face, and refuses to give one
glance towards the trembling wretch, and you
have the exact conditions which may hase
originated the peculiar costume of the
prayer: "Lift thou up the light of thy couD-
tenance. Cause thy face to shine upon Vi" !"

Lapses of Christians.

The Morning Star grieyes over the lam
entable lapses of Christian men during the
past few years, and points out one of the
causes that have combined to produce these
results in this.wise:'
"There is a wide complaint that the
Church is drifting toward kind of hu->
manology. 1t satisfies itself only with fine
edifces. 1t wants the most brilliant men
for preachers-which is just as it should be,
provided they are the most spiritual. 1t is
less disturbed by ceremony and display. 1t
likes prayers that will bear reporting, and
sermons that enterprisiDg publishers can
afford to print. II wants singing which the
vocal organs are chiefly concerned in max
ing, nc matter whether the heart makes mel
ody to the Lord or not. The connection
between this state Of things and the preva'
lence of defaulting deacons may not be ap-
parent. But isn't the standard that it erects
one that is more rapidly conformed to than
that set up by pure Christian faith "a
Doesn't it encourage habit of moral loose
ness and of mere surface-deportment, that
leads men to conform to nothing in particu-
lar, but to live merely convenient lives? 1t
gets the support of the wealthy and in
great measure Of the educated, and exerts an
enticing influence that is second to no other
in the field of moral effort. 1t is in the
face of this state of things that the Chris
tian must show manly independence, rely
ing upon Christ and his own efforts, and not
copying the example of others. Then fail
ures of model deacons will not shake him.
1t may require stern discipline to bring one
to this state, seeing that example has such
influence. But truth is stronger than con.
formity; and wel[grounded faith, though it
stand alone, is mightier than a host who only
stand by, leaning on each other"

The World Without Sunday.

Think how the abstraction of the Sabbath
would hopelessIy enslave the working class
es, with whom we are identified. Think of
labor thus going on in one monotonous aud
eternal cycle, limbs forever on the rack, fin
gers forever straining, the brow forever
sweating, the feet forever plodding, the
brain forever throbbing, the shoulders for
ever dropping, and loins forever aching, the
restless mind forever scheming.
Think of the beauty it would efface, the
merry heartedness it would extinguisb, of
the giant strength it would tame, of the
resources of nature it would crush, of the
sickness it would bring, of the projects it
would wreck, of the grOans it would extort,
of the lives it would immediate, and of the
cheerless graves it would prematurely dig.
See them toiling and moiling, sweating and
fretting, grinding and hewihg, weaving and
spinning, sewing and gathering, moving and
repairing, raising and building digging and
planting, striving and struggling-in the
garden and in the field, in the granary and
the barn, in the factory and in the mill, in
the warehouse and in the shop, on the noun
tain and in the ditch, on the roadside and in
the wood, in the city and in the country, out
at sea and on the shore, in the day Of bright
ness and of gloom. What picture would
this world present if we had no Sabbath!

GODS HIDDEN MARTYRS.

Not they alone who from the bitter strife
Come forth victorious. yielding willingly
That which they deem most precious, even hte'
COnieat TO suffer all things Christ, for Thee
Not they alone whose feet so firmly trOd
The pathway en6iog in rock, sword and fame,
Forseeiog death, yet faithful to their Lord,
Enduring Tor His sake the pain and shame.
Not they alone have won the martyrs palm.
Not only from their lips proceed the eternal psalm.
For earth hath martyrs now, sanity throng,
Each day unnoteed do we pass them by;
Mid busy crowds they calmly move along,
Bearing hidden cross, how patiently!
Not theirs the sudden anguish, swift and keen,
Their hearts are worn and wasted With smallcsres,
With daily grieis and thrusts from foes unseen,
Troubles and trials that take them unaWares;
Theirs is lingering silent martyrdom,
They weep through weary years. and long for rest to
come.
They weep, but murmur not it is Gods will
And ihey have learned TO bend their own TO His,
Simply erdar,rg, knowing that each i'll
Is but the herald Of some future bliss;
Striving and suffering yet so silently
They know it least who seem to know them best
Fatbtcl aud true through o adversity,
They work and waii until God gives them rest;
These surely share wi those Of bygone days,
The palm branch and the crown, and swell their
song Of praise.

quoted the following lines, of which, he said
it was doubtful whether they were written
by one of the earliest Deans of Westminster
or by one of the earliest Scottish Reformers
:" Say well is good, but do we'll is better;
Do well seems the spirit say well is the letter;
Say well is godly and helps to please;
But do well lives godly, aud gives the world ease
Say we'll to silence sometimes is bound,
But do well is free on every ground.
Say well has frends-some here, some there,
But do well is welcome everywhere.
BY say well many to Gods word cleaves;
But for lack OF do well it often leaves.
If say well aud DO well were bound in one frame
Then all were done, all were won, and gotten were
gain"

WASHINGTON, June r. 1873
An ofllcal copy OF the journal or the fourth an.
nual session OF the General Council or the
Indian Territory, recently held at okmul-
gee has been received at the Board or
the Indian Commissioners in this city Among
the proceedings was the adoption OF resolu-

relations with the people Of the United States
and with other Indian tribes, reassuring
them OF the continued friendship and
fIaternal regard OF their brothers. the
Confederated Tribes OF the Indian Territory and
OF the necessity OF abstaining from all acts OF hos
tility toward each other and the people or the
United States, and OF the determination of the
General Council to intercede for the early liberia
zion OF the chiefs Santanta and Big Tree The
latter clause OF the resolution is based on
a preamble stating that the strict observance
and exercise OF good faith Is Indispensable to the
perpetuity OF peace and good will between nations
having been complied with by the Kiowa Indians,
this government should redeem the promise made
to them, contemplating the early pardon and lib
