Mr.. MooDYis POWER.

The Edinburgh Daily Reuiei0, secular
paper, has ventured to analyze Brother
Moody, and show in what his wonderful
power consists. The editor says:
"He is not man Of much education or
culture his manner is abrupt and blunt
his speech bristles with Americanisms his
voice is sharp, rapid aud collOquial; and he
never attempts anything like finished or
elaborate composition. But he is in down.
right earnest. He believes what he says !;
he says i as if he believed il, and he expects
his audience to believe it. He gets wonder
fully near to his hearers, without any appar-
ent effort. Whatever size the audience may
be, he is at home with them at once, and he
makes them feel that they are at home with
him. He is gifted with rare sagacity, an
insight into the human heart, q knowed &c
Of what is stirring IN it and Of what is fitted
to impress it. He has in his possession a
large number Of incidents and experiences
well fitted to throw light on the points he
employs them to elucidate, and to clench
the appeals which he uses them to enforce.
In addition to all this, he has deeply pa.
thetic vein, which enables him to plead very
earnestly ut tho very citadel OF the heart.
But, most important of all, he
seems to rely for effect absolutely on Divine
power. OF course every true preacher does,
but in very different degrees OF conscious
trust and expectation. Mr.. Moody goes to
his meetings fully expecting the Divine
Presence, because he has asked it. He
speaks with the fearlessness, the boldness
Il L. IL.
sage from the King of kings and Lord Of
lords. And he takes pains to have his own
heart in the spirit of the message. He tries
to 60 to his audience loving them aud active
ly aud fervently longing for their salvation.
He says that if he does not try to stir up
this spirit of love beforehand, he cannot get
hold of an audience; if he Does he never
fails. He endeavors to address them with a
soul stepped in the corresponding emotion.
lie seems to try, like Baxter, never to speak
Of weighty soul concerns without his whole
spirit being drenched therein"

ENTHUSIASM.

The following enthusiastic words Of d. i.
Moody, spoken recently IN the presence Of
scholars noblemen and large audience, in
England, show us that he is the same earnest
man in his labors across the sea as at home I;
ave want enthusiasm in Gods work. We
find IL in the world. Men are desperately
in earnest in business circles. He'll is in
earnest. Why should we not be2 We talk

the children Of God but see eye to eye, and
Christianity will overcome all the hosts Of
hell and death. There is as much power in
the Gospel to-day a. ever. Mas has been
as bad as he can DO. Ho was bad in Eden,
he was bad for two thousand years under
the law, and he has been bad these eighteen
centuries under grace but, my friends,
there is power in the Gospel TO save. When
mes are willing to give their lives to the
work for God, then He takes these men aud
uses them. One thing 1 admire about Gar
ibaldi-his enthusiasm. In 1867, when he
was on his way TO Rome, he was told that if
he got there he would be imprisoned. Said
he, III fifty GaribaIdis are imprisoned, let
Rome be ireer And when the cause of
Christ is buried so deep in our hearts that
we do not think Of ourselves, and are will

ENGLISH VS.. AMERICAN Gov
EMINENT.

We make the following extract from an
address of Alfred Teylor's before Hesper
Grange, Douglas County, Kansas, as report
ed in the Kansas Farmer:
Under the the workings of the English
government, it is believed by some that the
will OF the people is more strictly obeyed
than in this country While it is mon-
archy in name, it is a republic in practice.
When ministry fails to represent the will
of the people it voluntarily resigns and
passes the government over into the hands
of its SUCCESSORS.
When African slavery commenced in the
British possessions, it was characterized by
deeds Of cruelty aud inhumanity, but every
decision Of the courts upon that subject, as
we'll as upon most others, was of milder
cast, more lenent nature, until it was en-
tirely abolished by law, and to-day her leg.
islation is Of a more generous tendency for
the rights Of the people than with us. In
our own country it is entirely the reverse.
1t becomes our duty to give attention to the
workings Of those principles which so great
ly affect our rights and happiness. When
slavery was introduced into the American
colonies it was of mild aud dome site ma
ture, aud continued such long after we be-
came an independent nation. Under the
workings Of American institutions, slavehold-
ers become more and more oppressive; more
stringent and exacting legislation was de-
handed, until slaves became an article Of
merchandise, whose rights were abridged uu-
Ill their treatment was wose than that
of our domestic animals, and the supreme
court of the United States rendered decis-
ion that they had no rights that white man
need obey, as human beings And it went
down as all other expressions within a revO-
lution-unless the rights of the people are
protected by just and equal laws.
Aud, like it, we observe growing tenden.
cy in our legislation to curb, enslave and rob
the masses Of their just dues, a constant in.
crease Of taxation and moro gripping laws
aud penalties for their collection; more and
more exemption Of the property of the rich,
by especial privileges aud class legislation.
Druing the Napoleon wars they had what
was known as "Window Tax" which was
absolutely tax upon the sunshine of heaven,
and was so formed as to gradually increase
from one window up to about the usual
number that citizen would have in his dwell.

man, with many windows, would pay no
more taxes to the government than poor
man, with his few-a fair type Of much leg.

Der surging Of wind and wave,
DO you hear a brave little singer,
Singing cheerful stayel
And y tremulous prayer uplifted
To One who can succor and savol"
by the fisherman's fire at midnight,
When chapter and prayer were read,
lie kissed the flushed little sleepers
And bore them aloft to bed;
But he prayed, "God bless tho, true heart! !"

From time inmemorial the lawyer has
been considered kind of high priest of the
devil. We have admired him for his gem
ius. oxtoled him for his impudence, and
often mistaken the latter for the former. 1t
was the old puritan custom to make minis
tiers Of pious boys, and educate the tricky,
lying reprobate for lawyer, and If thoro
was one too lazy TO work Or study he turned
out a merchant; and to this day we are fol-
lowing that same example and reaping the
bitter fruits of their mistaken policy. AS q
nation we have gradually given up to the
lawyer every place OF honor or trust within
the gilt of the people. Presidents. govern
Ors, secretaries, senators and representa-
tives. nineteen times In twenty are lawyers
and TO day there are not five men in con-
gress practically identified with tho farming
