BIACKwooDs EDINBURGH MAGAZINE for June
Through the Leonard Scott Publishing Company
This number, which completes Volume CIV, is
filed, as usual with interesting matter, and is a
proof that instead of degenerating this perio dica
like wine, mellows and improves with age.
The serials, 6" Alice Lorraine" and " Valentine
and his Brother" are continued. Both have already
received so much favorable notice that need only
say that their interest remains undated.
In "The Poets at Play" we find many verses
which were not written for publication but dropped
naturally into the private communications OF such
writers as Scott, Cowper, Lamb, Swift, and many
others.
HThe Romance of the Japanese Revolution" be.
gins by describing the Japanese and the objects they
displayed at the Vienna Exposition, ana gives a
very interesting account of their character and con-
diton, of the changes that have taken place since
the opening of their ports, and the revolution which
led o the overthrow of the Shotgun and the revival
of the supremacy of the Mikado.

PRINCETON, w. VA, June oath, 1874.
There are few Presbyterians of u.s. in our county,
(Mercer) and we organized a church here last
Spring Of about dozen members. We claim al
egiance to the Montgomery Presbytery, but we
are too poor to support minister.
The Rev. Messrs. Wilhelm and Blain have been
sent to us several times, which has been produc'
tive of great and good results. We earnestly sug-
gest that Presbytery may continue to send those
good men, once, if not twice year, as they have
already iugratiated themselves into the hearts of
this people. They came among US, and preached
for US, the 20 and Dist ult. We had at the time
three additions to the church and four baptisms
and they left US with many others interested In
their souls salvation, which, if they could have
no doubt connected themselves with the church.
1t is cry from Macedonia, with US, to Presbytery
to come over and help u.s.
Last Sunday the sacrament of the communion
was dispensed for the first time at this place, by
Presbyterians, since the ante-JelLum days. The
sacramenta sermon was preached by the Rev.
Mr.. Blain of Christiansburg, from the text, Be-
h0lQ the LAND OF UOu VINO taketn away the sllS
of the world, and in his extremely elegant, attrac-
tive and effective style he pointed the dying sin
ners to the. :" Lamb that was slain on Calvary"
and the narrative of the Cross, and the Ecce homo,
from his lips, excited the interest of his hearers,
as it had never done before, and sunk deep into
the hearts of both saint and sinner.
The Rev. Mr.. Wilhelm, of BlaCksburg, preached
in the afternoon the closing sermon of the OCCASION
from the text, How shall we escape if we neglect
so great salvation?' and with the afectionate
impressive earnestness that so characterizes him,
he took hold OF the hearts of his audience and held
them spell-bou to listen to his feeling and in
tensely interesting discourse, as he told them of
the only plan Of salvation that he was depnted to
bear to them, as message from God himself that
an angel might be glad to bear, and which might
be, in the providence of God, the last message
of the Father through him to this people.
We earnestly hope that our wishes may be re-
gsrded by the Montgomery Presbytery, as our
needs are urgent

Departed this life at the residence of her husband
Bryan City, Texas, June 18th, Mrs. ELLA (BRAScH)
WILSON, aged 10 years.
In the death of this young wife and mother, our
whole city has been thrown into mourning. Singu
larly beautiful in person, of intellect and &C.
complishments she was loved by all who knew her.
AS q daughter, she was almost idolized by her pa
rents-as wife she was the joy of her young hus
band-as a companion none could be more highly
esteemed.
On the 10th of June, 1873, in the Presbyterian
church of this city, in all the loneliness OF young wo
manhood, she gave her hand in marriage to Mr.. Al
fred WiIson-the man OF her choice-now one short
twelve month having passed, broken hearted hus-
band, with her stricken and desolate parents, and
mary kind friends, gathered around her bedside to
hear her parting farewels, and witness her Joyous
raptures in view of her soon being in the bosom of
her Saviour, whom she loved. This scene will never
be forgotten by its witnessesthe fear OF death be.
ing entirely removed and the most simple. earnest
prayers being offered by her for husband, father,
mother, and other friends who were near. Although
she never before publicly professed her espousa to
Christ yet she left every other evidence her friends
could desire, that she was ready to go and be with
Christ
In the death of this lovely woman, her parents,
ODE and Mrs Branch) have closed the eyes of their
last child and will probably not very long be left
mourn their loss. In the preparation of their
bodies for the grave, her sweet little babe was laid
in her embrace and both bodies occupied one cas-
ket. Appropriate religious services were held at the

Died, June 10th, at her home Romney West
Va Mrs. SARAH A. TABB, aged 68 years.
The wife of Bailey Tabb, Esq, and daughter of
Major Dougal and Mrs Sarah W. Campbell, she was
born in Berkeley county. west Va and spent the
greater part of her life in that county. Early in
life she gave herself to the Lord Jesus and uniting
with the Presbyterian church, continued, for more
than half century, to adorn her profession by an
humble and consistent walk and conversation. She
loved the church of her fathers, the church of her
early choice, and delighted in all its worship and
ordinances. Often has the writer of these lines
known her, at an age which invites and justfes
pose, to bare the winters cold and summers heat,
in order to meet with the ords people in His sane.

tionate by nature, was by grace rendered all the
gentle and loving; so that in ali the relations
OF life. as wife, mother and friend she was beloved
by all who knew her, and srove to bless them all by
pointing them to that Saviour whom she loved and
trusted
The Aft 'ctions through which she passed only
served to bring her closer to the Saviour and taught
her to say from the Eeart, through life, and with
unusual frequency az emphasis upon her dying bed
"Thy will, Oh Lord not mine, be DONE" With
such ite and the hopes which it justi6es, we can
not wish her back again. but would comfort our
selves aud her sorrowing friends by thinking not so
much of our loss as of her eternal gain.
-" A voice is heard on earth of kinsfolk weeping
The loss of one they love;
But che is gone where the redeemed are keeping
A festival above
The mourners tbrong the way and from the steeple
The funeral bell tolls slow;
But on the golden streets the holy people
Are passing to aud fro;
And saying, as they meet, "Rejoice," another
Long waited for is Gomez
The Saviour's heart is glad, for yet another,
Hath reached the Fathers home ~

easier to find these out after book is printed than
before. But it is good thing to get these correc-

AT THE SPRINGS.

It may be your privilege to take recreation and

it will be in your power to do much good. A very
large portion of the visitors at the watering places
and other summer resorts, are professors of reip.
iOn Ii these all went, as much enthused for the
cause Of Christ, as worldly people 90 enthused
with worldly pleasure, aud as eager for spiritual
refreshmeDt from communion with Christian breth.
rem, as the pleasure seekers are to join with friends
or strangers in gay amusements, then might these
summer retreats be as the resting places provided
for the weary pilgrims in their heavenly journey.
from which they would go on with renewed spirit.
IA strength.
Wherever you may be thrown IN your days Of
recreation, be decided Christian. Let not reHQ-
ion be ashamed to ift her head in the most world
ly place. The summer resorts would not be char.
aeterzed BY so much irreigOn; but for the fact
thar so many Christians who frequent them lay
aside their religion or at least the outward prac.
tiee Of it, when in these scenes Of gayety.

IN TOWN.

The summer season in town churches is usually
a season of languishing. The fact that this has
been the case is pleaded as an excuse for its con
tinuance. What reason is there for this spiritual
ansuor? Is heat an excuse for negeetiug religious
duty Is it too warm to pray and to labor for the
conversion Of souls2 Must spiritual fervor Decline
as the fervor of the season increases2
The fact that some Of your brethren leave town
for the country during this season, is no reason
Why you who are left at home, should absent your
self from the preaching of Gods word and from
the meeting for prayer. There is no reason why
you should not expect the awakening and CONVEX
sion Of your impenitent friends. Let summer be a
season Of growth and rich fruit and not time of
parching drought.

THE SUMMER DAYS.
IN THE COUNTRY.

The busy harvest season will soon be over with
cur country readers aud the churches viii appoint
their communion seasons aud "protraeted meet
iugs Notwithstanding the intense heat in which
they have to labor, We envy some Of our country
pastors the pleasure they will 6ud in these July
and August meetings. They are often precious
seasons Of ingathering And Christians who for
the rest Of the year can hear preaching at their
Own church only once or twice a month, and some
times not 50 often, 6ud it exceedingly refreshing
to come to the house Of God day after day for q
week or more. Let every such season of public
worship be preceded BY earnest prayer for the out
pouring Of the Holy Spirit aud this will be sum
mer Of great blessing to the country churches.
