our sins have driven us away. How shall sin be

an answer this query. The term remission itseiI
means some thing mat Is put away. Our sins leave
us when they are RENTED. Remission, IN u ieSaI

the Jew brought his victim before the priest ne iet
that the ANIMALS HE gwen for his life. THIS Is
what our Father intended to teach us. MY hearers
what was 1t that saved usF Ii was not Christ per
forming miracles; 1t was not that He tasted ior
forty days. IL was not that He had not where TO
lay His head 1t was that he gave His precious lie.
Another lesson that God intended TO teach was
that sin may be transferred. Whenever man sins
he cannot expiate his SIN IN himself. God always
commanded, bring something living. Among the
where the priest SACRIFICED a bullock, without nav
or biemlsh 10 the SINS Of the whole congregation
, still another thought Is that we cannot appoint
our own atonement for our SINS, but that
the remedy must be given by the Creator Man
cannot make llie God, in presenting bioo0shed,
meant that He alone could prepare the sacrifice.
Sti another thought is that the sacrifice must be
innocent and without spot or OIemish and this was
Jesus. Some arguments might be advanced to
substantiate this statement. Employment OF sacri.
nee is universal custom Christ SAID 70 the the
jews UNLESS We eat OF my nesh and drink OF my
blood ye shah not live in me-" The blood Of Jesus
cleanses us from all sin. We told TO draw near
the throne OF grace through his blood. Another
argument is that although GOD loved Jesus more
than any thing else, yet He gave HIS blood. Surely
II any other means would have answered He would
have employed them. See Him on the cross.

impress this on us that He gave THAI Last supper

the body When strangers arc expected

the hands are thrown back, and their quick

We believe the Doctors have not found a
name for the disease yet, although we have
several with lis at this time.
We were in your town some time since,

When time hangs heavily, we amuse

When time hangs heavily,we amuse
ourselves in the ten-pin alley, where
the only difficulty is to find a round
ball to roll, and smooth place on
which to roll it. The artist who re-
paired it was cross-eyed and turned
the balls so shaped that they might be
used, when old, for nest eggs; but II
you are "rollist, you know all that
is nothing.
From the ten-pin alley we adjourn
to the billiard room. Noah taught
his sons to play on the table, and in
FAINT rats have cut their teeth on the
balls, which skip when cued across the
table with a rat-a-tat that is perfectly
bewildering, yet ye ancient table al
fords US rare bit Of fun.
Tired of bowling and billiards, we
gather about the card table where
Mesdames Dorsey and Trego held the
championship for a little time, but
their laurels faded before the prowess
of Mesdames Pretzman and Paine.
Father Yingling claims that he can
euchre the party, but we have never
given him a fair chance.
Among other attractions we have
two alligators-one young critter
sent Mr.. Yingling from Florida, quite
curiosity and pet with the guests;
the other is older and stronger and
more dangerous to handle. To cap all,
we have a dear little store, for the BEN
eft of the guests, where for triae, you
can get just as sick on popcorn and
candy as at any larger watering-p place,
and supply yourself with shoe strings,
pins, needles and thousand other
things, at lowest market prices.
Clermont House gave ball last
night, and Monterey having been in
vited, was there in her glory. Mon
terey is decidedly of the feminine gen.
der this season.
Take It all in all, if You want to have
a good time, where every body attends
to their own business, and allows you
the same privilege, come to Monterey
Our host and hostess are as oblglng
and good,natured as possible, and if
the guests are not satisfied it is their
own fault.
Washington has contributed to our
number and our pleasure by sending
us Mrs. Mattingly and family; Mr.:

make my best bow to the many read

Since l wrote you last we have had

coming early and remaining through
the season. Mr.. Bash and family
made most agreeable addition to our
party last week, and Mrs. William H..
Trego, whose name | neglected to
mention in my last, is one of the most
social and genial ladies in the house,
while Miss Daisy D-y, another of
our guests, possesses by far the pretti-
est face, the best cultivated mind and
the most independent manners of any
lady at Monterey.
Our calico ball took place week
ago last Saturday, and with Mr.. Frank
Rowe as Master of Ceremonies, it
could not but be success. Oar la

an their neat print dresses, while our
girls, (God bless 'emD were fairly ra-

Miss Annie Pitt, the pretty Misses
Trego, Miss Davis, of Washington, and
Miss Krems, of Baltimore, as they en-

Our ball room was decorated with

MONTERREY SPRINGS, july Gath, 1874
Dear BaAinoream had intended
ere this to tell you Of the beauties o.
this secluded mountain retreat, but
something, (perhaps the air. has
made me indolent, SO, since my ar
rival, have done nothing save smoke
watch the girls and study human ma
1ure. But now I rise up to do battle
with the giant Incidence, and take
my pen as the readiest weapon with
which to vanquish the foe:
You can form no idea of the beauty
of Monterey, nestled in a nook on the
summit of the Blue Ridge, with the
hazy, cloud-tipped Mountains stretch
ing away on every side. From the
porch Of the .Clermont House is a
wondrous view of hill and vale, and
cultivated farms, forming a picture
no artist, save natures self, may ever
hope to paint.
/ have not yet visited any Of the
places Of interest in the nelghborhood
SO I must wait to tell Of them ANOTHER
time.
We can offer lots of inducements
both to the engaged and those who
want to be. If Augustus wont pro
pose bring him here to Amelia by all
means. One stroll through the lover
walk will settle the question, and the
answer too. For the present, the
belleship of Monterey is disputed,
good naturally, by the two pretty
Sisters Misses Katie and Nelly Trego,
whose ringing voices and fresh, fair
faces, made merry the halls of the
Carrollton last winter, though by an
other season the honors will be warm
" contested by little, golden haired
blonde from Mulberry street, not yet
free from the restraints Of the school
room:
standing yet where two paths meet,
Womanhood and girlhood sweet"
Among our guests from Baltimore
we have: Mr. and Mrs. Theo. Dorsey
and family, Mr.. ana Mrs. Pretzman
and family, Mr.. Spear and family
Frank Rouse, Mrs. Robinson and fam
ily, Mrs. II. Beacham, J. Summer:
Beacham and family, Mrs. D. Darby
and family, Mrs. Smell and family
and a host of others whose names |
have been unable to learn.
Every Saturday We receive an ln-
rortation OF dusty husbands, with
once in while a stray lover; and
every other night we have a little
dance.
Friend Yingling attends to the Gin
ner mai" in glorious style, and all we
want is a fresh importation of hand
some Jeaur and bellies from Baltimore
On Saturday we are to have a calico
lall, and from the scraps of converse

when the subject Is toned, we
anticipate a merry evening. This we
will tell you about when we write

ness The Tilton- Beecher investiga


nea. The Tilton- Beecher investiga,
tors of Plymouth church, Brooklyn
New York, still persist in conducting
their proceedings in darkness. 1t is a
secret Inquisition-a packed jury.
1t is Beecher Tribunal before which,
we apprehend, poor Theodore Tilton
would not have half a show. He has,
by the advice of counsel, withdrawn
from its jurisdiction, and will not abide
its decision. He will appeal to an i'm
partial jury Of his countrymen, where
all the facts of the case must be dis.
closed under oath-in Court of law
where justise will be done. Here ney
revelations may take place which will
startle the country.
Judging by the newspapers of New
York Mr.. BEEcuER s Is the popular
side. Among the journals there, the
Tribune, the ,Erpress, and the Star
zealously and boldly advocate his in
nocence. The World does the same
thing intellectually, and denounces
TlLroN philologically. These papers
are convinced and perfectly confident
that the thing will end in his complete
acquittal and restoration to his former
great position as Christian teacher
and preacher. The JonnaI Of Com
merce and the Evening Post are silent
in the case, not debating it, and await
ing the result Of the investigation.
The Times is independent, discussing
with much ability the facts and testi-
lnony as they are disclosed, and favor
ing neither party. The Herald was
at first for BEEcHER, but is now rath-
err an advocate Of TILToN. In the
country at large the newspapers are
divided much as usual. Some of the
most powerful are in favor of Mr..
BEEcHER, and some, perhaps more,
are against him; though even those
that are for MIN say that his letters
must be explained. But there is no
question that the prevailing attitude
is one of hope that he may come out of
the trial purified and with spotless
robes.

people attended tht Camp Meeting at
