of voices mingle in chanting the prais-

No creed has ever pushed forward
its cOnquests with the success that has
attended Christianity while all 9TH
ers have diminished. 1t has increased.
It's devOtees 90 forth to battle under
no uncertain colOrs. Upon their ban
ner wide unfurled they have inscribed
their faith IN characters that cannot
be mistaken. The army marshaled in
its cause is the noblest ever paraded on
earth. 1t reckons on its muster roll
Patriarchs, Prophets, Apostles, and all
the truly brave and good. 1t is
grand mistake to suppose that Christi
anity "is unfriendly to the develop
menS of the highest type of manhood"
1t is the grand incentive that actuates
man to the improvement of his facul-
ties, and creates within him the no.
blest aspirations. Nay, it is the only
true goal for which he can toll. 1t
was the guiding star that led Luther,
Wesley, Calvin, and others to glory
and renown. Though many have
been the fiery ordeals through which
it his passed, it still lives in spotless
innocence, ever accomplishing great
aud noble results. 1t has ever ridden
the storms in safety. 1t shines forth
with none of its original glory Obscur-
ed. Every ray which it sends forth
to reform ali that is vile in man is a
heaven-transmitted beam to the hu-
man soul. 1t is replete with every
requisite for suffering humanity. 1t
inspires the mind with a new zeal, en-
ergy and power, and imparts to the
soul a sweet foretaste of that morning
which comes to the tomb's long night.
Christianity sheds its effulgcnce
over the death-fraught tide of time
it enables its dying devOtee to wreathe
himself with the garlands of immOr-
tality, and almost weep that he can
die but once. 1t is to him the joyful
entrance upon a new existence. 1t
enables the soul to take its everlasting
flight as calmly and sweetly as the
dying murmers OF the Eolian harp.
When the millions of worlds now roll
ing through the boundless fields Of
space shall have been blotted from eX
istence, then will Christianity shine,
not only in undimmed, but brighter
glory. Its conquests reach beyond
the tomb where the godlike faculties
of man fail to catch glimpse of the
grandeur of its eternal destiny.

about our Confederate Generals whom

Napoleon, when he invaded Egypt,

We CANNOT Forget.
See the spring in beauty lying

When the summer sun lies smiling
On the graves that bear her crest.
Scatter flowers
Lightly lest you break their rest.

Gently waft the orange by
Chaste magnolia bend thy chalice
LadeR with thy sweetest sigh.
Smile upon US,
Shining mantIed southern sky.
Ger the land we loved so dearly,
Heavy fell the deadly rain;
Every hearthstune bears its traces;
Every bosom wears a pain.
They have fallen,
But the brave die not in vain,
All we know the harvest cometh,
When the white rob'd angels reap,
But the hoart in silent sorrow
Breaks and dies Oh let US weep.
Softly listen,
They are weary let them sleep.
Kiss the sword, our brothers sheathed it
At the King Of Kings behest;
Stack their arms and lay their banners
Folded DER each wounded breast.
They are sleeping;
God has laid them down to rest,

The Great Scandal.

We have seldom smirched our col.
umns with the proceedings of the Court
in the Beecher case.
But the testimony on the Tilton sid c
within the past few days has been of so
decisive and startling nature we would
not be justified in Withholding for NOR
al and merely sentimental reasons a
synopsis of the revelations made. Firs t
there was the evidence of the nurse
Cary, then that Of Mrs. Tilton's broth
cr, aud last that of Mrs. Mculton, wife
Of The II utual Friend" The first two
related what they saw, and their veraci
ty must be imreached successfully by
the great Plymouth preacher, if he
stands. The last witness tells all she
knows of the foul business, gained chic f
ly through interviews with Beecher and
Mrs. Tilton. Her story of Beechcr's
confession, remorso and despair is a
fearful piece Of information, which if
not shown to be false, will damn the dc
fendant in the great trial to infamy and
disgrace.
The case of Tlten from first to last
has been managed with signal and mas
terly ability. The defence likewise has
been brilliantly and laboriously conluc
led by the great lawyer Evarts and his
associates.
Apart from the lo, al aspects of the
case as it stands trembling, we may say,
on the verge of a decision which may
nevertheless be postponed some weeks,
still, aud aside from the affair viewed
is n gigantic New York sensation. wlat
