MYSTERIES of the Bible.

All vital processes are mysterious. No one
knows what life is, in any of its gradations-
vegetable life, animal life, spiritual life, eternal
life. These are beyond definition and compre-
hension. No siller argument has ever been
urged against Christianity than this, that it
has mysteries. Before you attack the Bible on
this score, take kernel of corn, grain of
barley, seed ofmdstard, and tell US its secret,
unfold the mystery of its life, and build up for
us the theory of its generation. Everywhere
through the domains Of nature, we tread with
awe, we are compassed with mysteries. Wego
through her dark caverns with feeble torchlight,
and sec only little though that little is full OF
glory. Our footsteps have hollow sound, and
the sound floats away, reverberating among
mysterious spaces and abysses around US, which
we cannot enter and explore. The student of
nature seems to me like man in the Kentucky
cave with only box of matches in his pocket.
He scratches on the wall, and dome of gilt
tering salactites breaks in feeble flash upon
his eyes Thus he gets here and there q glance,
while all beyond is unseen, unknown. The
lower YOU go down in your research into ami
NAL and vegetable life, the greater the myster-
les. One would think the minutest would be
the simplest; but The smaller objects carry in
their dminutive being the ghtier mysteries.
The border land between the smaller vegetable
and animal forms is full of mysteries. In those
aggregated animals called the Polyzoa, out from
cell starts gemmule. 1t is an animal germ;
it swims hther and thithcr, finally anchors it.
self somewhere, and then gows and puts forth
buds, as though it were initiating vegetable,
and builds up a new animal household. On
the other hand, in some plants which have no
flowers nor sccd a microscopic atom, answering
to a seed sallics forth, swims about as thought
,snl,. - ,,,>I last
ties down into the steady, unlocomotive life of
Il vegetable When we come TO vital process,
we stand within Gods inner temple, and are
constrained to cxclaim: Here is the hidden
glory of the Creator the Author of life. His
way is past finding out. We reach the thres-
hold of the divine operation, and we are not
able to cross the boundary; we stand this side,
and worship. 4 Scripture, religion, without
mystery, would be conluted and contemptuous-
" driven out from among men by every voice
of nature, and every syllable of life.

unexpected but fixed solution of problems
which perplexed his judgment and disturbed
his patriotism. And however widely different
the political and social life they may be called
to lead, they are sure that to no people could
be presented higher exemplar Of public and
private virtue than his lifelong devotion to
the country and the Constitution.
As soon as sufficient amount has been sub
scribed to justify the practical commencement
of their work, the necessary legal eonveyances
of this property will be executed, and those
interested will be called together to select a
Board of Trustees, to whom the completion OF
its organization will be confded.
In conclusion, the undersigned would ask
that portion of the Press of the State which
sympathizes with their effort, to publish this
address, and commend its consideration to the

A NOBLE TR1BurE.-1n an Elm the At

the South and her cause, thus speaks: "Thc
women of the South could hardly have been
more desperately in earnest than their hus-
bands, brothers and sons were in the prosccu-
ton of the war, but with their woman natures
they gave themselves wholly to the cause and
having loved in heartily when it gave promise
of sturdy life, they almost Worship itnow that
they have strewn its bier with flowers. To
doubt its righteousness, or to faltcr in their
loyalty to it while it lived, would have been
treason and infdclity; to do the like now that
it is dead, would be to them little less than sacri-

"A married lady who is in the habit of
spending most of her time in the society of her
ncighbors, happened to he ia ken ill, and sent
her husband in great haste for a physician.
The husband ran a short distance, and then
returned, exclaiming: "A1y dear, where shall
I find you when come back ?"
- 1t is said that when the doctors at Selma,
Ala, refused to work on credit and therefore
did not temporarily, work at all, sickness
almost entirely ceased during that nterregnum.
Of course this is joke. What could we do
without cur doctor?'

Insult and lngratitude to the COlOred Peo'
nIp

In the address of the Republican State Ex-
ecutive Committee, to the Republican voters
of this State, says the Union Times, we find
the following:
''The executive committee would make no
race distinctions; but it cannot longer be de-
MED, and it would be criminal longer to with
hold the facts, that the present condition of
affairs in our State is made chargeable to the
colorcd race, who represent not only the great
bulk of Republicans here, but who constitute
the majority of its citizens"
IF that is not the coolest piece of impudcncc
and ingratitude ever heard of, we would like
to see what does excel it. The address from
which the above is taken is signed by at least
eight Office holders who owe their elections, al
most entirely, to the coored voters of this
State. Many of them have been connected,
directly or indirectly, with the most bare faced
frauds upon the State Treasury, and, as leaders
and guides of the colorcd people, are entirely
to blame for all the errors which that deluded
race have committed The colored people
were ignorant and blind party voters, and
through the threats and advice of the signers
of the address, they voted soldly for those
sclfsame signers and the rest Of the vile
wrctchcs who have brought about this terrible
"condition of affairs" in this State and now
those fellows tell the colored race they are to
blame for all the rascalities committed by the
men they elected to office.
We deny that the colorcd people are to
blame. They wished to do what was best but
q set of scountlrcls, who premcdifafcd whole
sale robbery of the State Treasury, took wicked
advantage of their ignorance, and coaXed
caiolcd and drove them by threats, in.o voting
for gang of unmitgatcd thieves.
wifi the colorcd people longer suffer them
selves to be the tools of Il set Of men who will
deceive and rob them, and then turn round
and publicly tell them that they did the steal
ing? 1t is the bascst case of adding insult to
injury we ever read of.
