Moral Reflections No. 81.

Take heed that you do not your aims be-
fore men, to be seen of them" Mat. 6; l..
The great sin Of the Church to-day is
ostentation. We wish to make display of
all the good we are and all the good are do.
There is a passion TO appear in public-to
attract attention to ourselves and our
services and benefactions. We sound a
trumpet before us-thc heart Graves the glory
Of men. There is much reason for the eau
ton given by. the Saviour-"Take heed that
you do not your aims, (or as might be trans
lated, your righteousness before men, to be
seen Of them" How much at the great day
of account will be found in our prayers, and
in our alms-giving, and other works ofcharity,
to have been said and done through vain
glory! How little with pure desire for the
Masters honor. How much public profess
sion and open worship of God before men;
how little entering into the chamber and
shutting the doo- and praying to our Father
in secret! How large our public benefactions-
how scantily dispensed our pirate bounty =,
Depraved humanity is prone to seek honor
from men, and not that honor which cOmeth
from God only.
Alas! alas! by Him, who looks down from
above, and knows the hearts of all men, how
little is discovered, even in his professed
disciples, of that sincerity and single eye to
his glory, which alone makes the true
worshipper, and makes his offering accept
able! "Many will say to me in that day,
Lord! Lord to whom He will say never
knew YOU"
Lord, make US watchful against ostenta-
ton, vain glory and self-seeking, that we
may not by our very prayers and religious
activities, fall into condemnation

1t should be read by all. 1t gives no un-
certain sound. 1t seeks to advance true Re-
pnJiicanism and sustains the administration
OF u. S. Grant.
1t is the only paper in Tennessee that adj
vocates.thc complete and impartial extension
of CIVIL Rights to the colored citizens BY the
enactment of a national law, and their i'm
partial education and development; and will
endeavor to promote and improve the inter-
ests of the industrial classes of the colored
men of the South by forming Cooperative
Associations, to effectively organize and car
ry out schemes of interest and profit to each
other individually and collectively.
1t will sustain the living issues of humanity
and an improved and higher civilization in
refinement, in opposition to the expressions
of caste, spite and malignant hate of race,
which seeks to degrade and ignore the pros
poets, privileges. and rights of the colored
citizens Of the United States; and demand
IN unmistakable terms the rights of the
cOlored citizens which they are entitled to in
the offices, honors and emoluments of the T..
5. government, without prescription by their
fellow white Republicans, or their utter neg
lect as has been in the past.

STORER COLLEGE,
WIN q formal Department.

is located at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia.
l. 1t was first opened in October, 1867 and has
ever since been crowded with young men and
women eager for an education. 1t originated in
a proposal Of John Storer, of Maine, a COngre.
gational brother; to give $4,000 to found
Normal College at the South, on condition that
others contributed like sum to the same pur.
pose, and no distinction on account of race or
color. A few Christian men in Western New
York collected the required amount, with a
little aid from friends in New England, and the
School became fact.
Through the influence of the late Senator
Fessenden, of Maine, Senator NOW Vice Presi.
dent Wilson, of Massachusetts, General Gar
field. Of Ohio, and others, Congress donated the
four large brick dwelling houses, and the land
on which they stand, situated on the heights
above the ferry, to the Trustees of the College.
The buildings had been riddled by shot and
shell but, by the aid of contributions from the
Freedman's Bureau and from generous friends
at the North, they were repaired, and another
large building erected. Into these buildings
about two hundred young people are crowded
every term, and trained for teaching and other
positions of usefulness.
having this work in hand-a Girls Boarding
Hall, and an Endowment. The former is an
immediate necessity it is impossible to meet
the wants of the large number of girls who seek
to qualify themselves for teaching, without it.
There is no other School above a Primary in
grade in all West Virginia, Western Maryland
and Southern Pennsylvania, which admits Col
ored youth, and the number who flock to this
School far exceeds the accommodations pro-
vided. 1t is exceedingly hard to turn them
away, and force them to remain in ignorance,
when they are so eager to learn.
Fifty thousand 9olIars are Needed
to erect and furnish suitable Girls Hall. The
foundations have been laid, in faith, and the
walls will go up as fast as the Lords people
furnish the funds, and no faster. 1t is a work
for the Lords poor, unsectarian in character,
Of great moment, and very promising. We APP
peal to friends of humanity for help.

nursed by all the people of our State. The sys-

Premium for 1872.


Every subscriber to TIE 1LDINE for the
year 1874 will receive a pair of chrOmos.
The original pictures we've painted in oil for
the publishers of TIE 4LDiNE, by Thomas
Moran, whose great Colorado picture was
purchased by Congress for ten thousand dol
lars. The subjects were chosen to represent
1.-The East" and "The West" One is a
view in The White Mountains, New IIamp-
shire; the other gives The Cliffs of Green
River, Wyoming Territory. The difference
in the nature OF the scenes themselves is a
pleasing contrast, and affords good display
of the artists scope and coloring. The
chromos are worked from thirty distinct
plates, and are in size az y Icy and appear
ance exact fac-similes of the originals. The
presentation of worthy example of Ameri-
cas- greatest landscape painter to the SUBJ
scribers of THE ILDINE was a bold but
peculiarly Happy idea, and its successful
realization is attested by the following testi-
monial, over the signature of Mr.. Moran
himself.
NEWARK, n. j., Sept. 20th, 1873.
Mcssrs. JAMES SUTTON IL Co.
Gentlemen, Il am delighted with the proofs
in color of your chromos. They are wonder
fully successful representations by mechan-
cal process of the original paintings.
Very respectfully,
(Signed,) TII,OS. MORAN.
These chrOmos are in every sense Ameri-
can. They are by an original American
process, with material of American manu-
facture, from designs Of American scenery
by an American painter, and presented tC
subscribers to the first successful American
Art Journal. If no better because of all
this, they will certainly possess an interest
no foreign production can inspire, and
neither are they any the worse if by reason
Of peculiar facilities of production they cost
the publishers only a trihe, mhile equa, in
erery respect to other chyomos that are sold singiD
for double the subscription price Of TIE
ALDINE. Persons Of taste will prize these
pictures for themselves-not for the price
they did or did not cost, and will appreciate
the enterprise that renders their distribution
possible.
If any subscriber should indicate prefer
cnce for figure subject, the publishers will
send Thoughts Of HOme," new and
beautiful chrome, ii X 20 inches, represent,
ing little italian exile whose speaking eyes
betray the longings of his heart.

Art DEPARTMENT.. 1874,

The illustrations of THE ALDINE have
won worldwide reputation, and in the art
centres Of Europe it is an admitted fact that
its wood cuts are examples of the highest
perfection ever attained. The common
prejudice in favor of ''steel plates, )" is rapid
ly yielding to more educated and discrimin-
ating taste which recognizes the advantages
of superior artistic quality with greater facili-
ty of production. The wood-cuts of THE
ALDINE possess all the delicacy and elabor-
ate finish of the most costly steel plate,
while they afford better rendering of the
artists original.
To fully realize the wonderful work which
TIE ALPINE is doing for the cause of art
culture in America, it is only necessary to
consider the cost to the people OF any other
descent representations Of the productions of
great painters.
In addition to designs by the members of
the National Academy, and other noted
American artists, THE ALDLNE will re-
produce examples Of the best foreign
masters, selected with a view to the highest
artistic success and greatest general interest.
Thus the subscriber to THE 1LDINE will,
at trifling cost, enjoy in his own home the
pleasures and refining influences of true art.
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will
be by Thos. Moran and J. d. Woodward.
The Christmas issue for 1874 will contain
special designs appropriate to the season, by
our best artists, and will surpass in attrac-
tons any of its predecessors.
