(From the Methodist)
The Art and Value Of PrOlOnging
Life.
BY REV. JAMES ". BUCKLEY.

The attempt is often made to carry
on at the same time three different
modes of effort, any one of which is
efficient to employ the whole force
which an ordinary constitution can
generate. Thus we find men who are
authors and students, practical bust
ness men and great travellers. They
are in their office by day. they make
addresses in the evening, and travel
all night, often writing on the cars
A year ago this present month the
writer was one of the speakers at the
General Missionary Anniversary held
at Pittsburgh and vicinity. There
were two sermons and one or two
speeches required on Sunday, several
speeches on Monday, and on Tuesday
the late Dr. Eddy and the writer went
to Stubenvile, O., to speak. DR.. Ed
dy proposed to leave for home that
night, to which would not consent.
He then gave me an outline of his
method of working, which was, to
think enough for a man who did moth
ing but think, travel enough for man
who did nothing but travel, do office
and editorial work enough for a man
who did nothing else, and speak and
preach oftener than any pastor. |
then remarked that "man must
choose whether to burn steadily and
long, or rapidly and out soon, besides
running the risk Of an explosion all
the time" Wesley could unite these
different modes of effort because he
travelled on foot or on horseback or
by postchaise, and spoke constantly in
the open air, maintaining the most
regular system of sleep and diet. Nor
did he allow himself to run into wild
excuses of straining speech. Indeed,
he abomlnated it, and declared that
God allowed Thomas Walsh to sink
into darkness before he died because
of his excess in loud and long speak
ing, and made all his ministers prom
Use not to overdo in this matter. He
also told Adam Clark not ''to expect
to have any health" unless he worked
injthe open air at least one hour a
day. John Summerfeld, after repeat
ed hemorrhages and many indications
of decaying vitality, spoke nearly two
hours, and his biographer moro than
intimates that he was led on to this

RetrV.
A Quaker's Cllristmas-Eve.

How slow and soft the snow-dress falls
Upon the vine deserted walls,
AS if some gracious soul, intent
Upon the one sweet deed it meant,
Since in its grace such beauty lay,
Should wrap each bare thing on the way,
Till all things white and whittier grow,
Except the shadows Earth must throw.
The tender gray, the peaceful white,
A Quaker setting make tonight
And so this moonshinc, which is shade
Only little lighter laid,
Into my heart-still mood has crept,
With such glow as sunrise kept
When youth and Benjamin were mine.
All ! swift the slowest years incline,
And sunrise has no story now
To move me like the night and snow.
If those unquiet bells would cease
Clashing their peals across this peace,
1t seems the hours rare silen tness
Fen world hearts might chide and bless,
And lift the lowest heavenward
To greet the birthday of the Lord.
| can not think the loudest bells
Can utter what pure voice tells;
The Spirit needs no brazen tone
To whisper trump to His own;
The blessed healing falls to them
Who touch unseen the garments hem;
And hidden deeds are waited higher
Than chantings Of an angel choir.
Hosanna still the mad lips cry,
While still the mad hands cruelty
But angels watch and women weep,
And theirs the Rising after sleep.
How carcth He for Christmas song
To whom all days and songs belong?
Only an ebbing love has need
Its high-tide readings thus to heed.
Always the willing angels sing
To WORKOUT workers listening;
Always our Christ is in the earth,
Always his love has human birth
In joy that crowns our later morn
AS in Judean Christmas born.
And yet mind how every year,
When my ripe birthdays draw anear,
Dear Ruth, from out her gayer life,
With worldly hope and wisdom rife,
Comes to the quiet nest once more,
Bringing the smile her father wore,
And little gracious gifts, to tell
She keeps by some high miracle
The simple heart meath costly lace,
That needs double grant of grace.
Though all the year Ruth's tender eyes
To mine are openings of the skies,
Though love unsaid be love complete,
l find the special service sweet.
And so, perhaps, these louder chimes,
Soothing the prose-told hours to rhymes,
Like some rare voice God sets to round
The jarring ones of shriller sound
These spires with grand and silly art.
Ginning to reach the Central Heart;
These broken lilies, and the rush
OF feet where leaning angels hush
May be to clearer eyes than mine
Fresh spellings of tale divine.
And He whose birthday knew no bliss
Except woman's troubled kiss,
May still forgive the foolish art,
And hide the meaning in His heart.

Centauar
Lini m e nts

So nearly perfect are the recipes of these
wonderful pain soothing and healing Centaur
Liniments. that we can confidently say they
will alleviate amy pain arising from flesh,
bone or muscle arrangements We do not
pretend that they will mend broken leg or
cNtcrminate bOiis, but even in such cases
they will reduce the inflammation and stop the
pain. Nor can we guarantee the proper re-
suits where the body is poisoned by whiskey.
Temperance is as necessary to a proper phys-
cal, as mental condition.
The White CcntlUr g.ininpnt is par
ticulary adapted to all cases of rheumatism,
Lumbago, Neuralgia, Erysipelas Itch, Sprains,
Chillbrains, Cuts, Bruises. Stings, Posops.
Scaids, Sciatica, Weak Back Pains in the side,
Wounds, Weeping Sinews, Burns, Frosted
Feet, Palsy, Ear-ache, Tooth ache, Head ache
Ulcers, Old Soares. BROKEN Breasts, Sore Nip
Piles. Sore Throat, Group. Diptheria. etc. The
most of these complaints the Centaur Lini
ment will cure all of them it will benefit. 1t
will extract the poison from bites and stings,
and will cure burns and scalds without scar.

CLAIMS OF CoLUMBCS.--Tutor An
derson, of the State University, is
delivering lectures, claiming that a
Scandinavian, long before the time
OF Columbus, discovered America.
SO has many child discovered the
man in the moon, but none has had
Intelligence enough to know that
that majestic form consisted OF
plains, mountains and valleys. We
doubt not that crew of Mortimer
landed on this continent long before
the birth of Columbus; but if so
they had made no preparation be-
fore hand, either for discovering a
continent, or of preserving their
knowledge Of such from oblivion
They had not the slightest idea that
the earth vas round; but came upon
land, they knew not where, in one
OF those wild and warlike voyages
30 common to the Scandinaviaus
from the Sth to the 18th century.
The fact that they discovered n con-
tinent without having the intelii-
gence, or just appreciation of so
great an event, to make it known TO
the world, and take measures tow
ard It's settlement, or even perpetu-
ating the event among their own
nation, Is an index rather of their
want Of civilization than of their
just claim to honor.
We doubt not that Mr.. Anderson
is looking AS much after his own
notorlety as that of his wise ances-
tors; but it will be a long time be-
lore he can make Intelligent Ameri-
cans believe that any body but
Christopher Columbus is entitled to
the highest honor in laying II sys-
tematic plan for the discove. Oh
America, and preserving the knowl-
edge to the benefit of posterity.

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

A prominent scientist has at last
come forward and declared the dis
crepancy between Science and the
Bible. Heretofore they have adj
vanced together In all the contests
with ignorance, superstition and
unbelief. The first great conflict
was the struggle with Mohamme-
danisrn, which resulted in its over
throw, and the restoration Of science
among the Arabians. Again there
was conflict in which Kepler and
Calico took the lead, which re-
suited in the discovery Of the true
nature of the earth, its structure,
and relations with the solar system.
Another, and by far the most inn
portant, was the one known as the
Christian Reformation, relating to
the standard of truth; whether it
be found in the Bible or in the
Church. All Of these resulted In
binding together more closely the
Bible and Science. In fact their
union formed the mighty instru-
mentality that bound together the
two ages of civilization, insomuch
that the latter owes to its birth,
and the former owes to its fame.
Now, great conflict is being waged
regarding the power which governs
the universe; whether 1t be an in
cessant divine Intervention, or a
primordial interchangeable law. Can
it be possible that, having aided
each other in such fearful tests, and
CROPPED together in so many dark
periods that threatened to engulf
them both, that they will now sep
arate and assist in destroying each
other. We cannot believe it; but
doubtless another generation will
solve the mystery and look back
with certainty on settled facts that
we but family dream Of

OUR CLAIMS AGAINST SPAIN,

Heretofore our government has
pursued a very lenient course, in
the Virginius affair, against her
sister Republic, struggling for its
existence. We have seen England
press her claims with great vigor !;
and now that the Bourbon mon
archy has been restored in the per-
son OF the illegitimate son of Isa-
bella, this forbearance has ceased,
and the President has determined
to bring the matter to an early and
satisfactory conclusion.
