THTRD QUARTER, 1876.
Gods Way the Best.

THE PsalmiSt, after describing what be-
fell the lSTaelitcS who rebelled against
God in the wilderness, tells us that He
gave them their request: but sent lean
ness into their soul" There is an import
ant truth AMI lesson in this. The truth is
that wicked desires when gratifel bring
their own compensation, or punishment,
in pursuance of the operation of the lew
of divine justice. The qualification OF our
wishes, the being permitted 10 have our
own way, of:entimes brings upon us real
misfortune.
This teaches us that our desires should
be CONFIRMED to what we know of Gods
will, and that if We oppose our opinions
to His eternal purpose we may receive
bitter retribution in the very permission
given US to do according to our own de-
sircs. This is what belelI the Is,aeiites
and il is recorded in Gods book for our IN
struction. And the lesson it teaches US
beside is that, if our hearts are right be-
fore God there can be no difference be-
tween our desires and His will. After
this state we should strivc-a state in
which our nature would be in harmony
with itself and its CREATOR which coudi-
ton can lie reached only through a re-
ligiOus culture that will result in the en-
tire suhiugatiOn OF our own will to Gods
will, and in a full recognition that His
ways are better than our ways. Gods
will, thus being open before us, by laying
aside our own would become the law OF
our being.
The failure in so many Of our plans
even in those things for which we earnest
ly pray arises from the fact that they are
our plans, and not Gods. What would
be the result if the desires of all men
were gratified, as men now are-confdent
in their own strength and WISDOM If the
sun shone whenever its beams would de-
light a human being, would there ever be
a day of rain, or would not the earth be
baked to crust through which no blade
Of grass could penetrate? Were the clouds
as generous as the wishes of every tiller
Of the soil, should we not have another
deluge? And could the light be arrested
in the western sky to shine upon all the
work not finished upon earth, would the
night ever come with its stars and silence
and blessed invitations to sleep and
dreams: What clashing there would
he with the elements if all the wishes of
men were once INDUCED
Surely, we know not, often, what we
ask, and it is well for us that Gods will is
law; and we should cease our foolish
complaints at His divine order.-ChicGgo
ottadard.

THERE is no more blessed way of liv-
ing than the life of faith upon a cove
nant-keeping Gol-to know that we have
no care, for He careth for us; that we
need have no fear, except TO fear Him !;
that we need have no troubles, because we
have cast our burdens upon the Lord, and
are conscious that He will sustain US;
that we may walk among thousand
graves, but no grave shall open its mouth
for us; that We may stand where pesti-
lence is blazing forth and Gevouring the
nations as the fire devours the stubble,
but we must be secure. We are immor-
tai till our work is done. Gods purposes
for death shall not be fulfilled till that
purpose is ripe, and surely we would not
have Him wait longer than His appointed
time.-Spugs0n.

Mr.. Hester Clymer has proclaimed himself
the champion demagogue of the United States.
As the chairman of the committee that reported
the evidence against Gen. Bclknap. he had the
effrontery to emphasize the moral Of the case
by stating that it was the legitimate outgrowth
of tie administration of the government, for the
past fifteen years, thus endeavoring to make
party capital out OF the moral turpitude of
man who had accepted bride as consideration
for an official act. 1t is true the remark was
rebuked by another Democrat of the commit
tee, Mr.. Blackburn, of KY, who stated that
the lamentable crime had no party significance,
but was matter that concerned the whole
American people, irrespective of party. MIR.
Clymer had made his contemplate allusion
with much affectation Of sorrow and embarrass-
ment, stopping to wipe the tears from eyes aud
collect his utterances to give pathos and dra-
matte effect to his unblushing and vicious SLAM
der.
Mr.. Clymer did not make much reputation
or capital out of his stage acting.

Rev. Fields Cook, e colored minister in the
Baptist church, resident of Alexandria, Vir

ted with his church some time ago. He went
to one of the Hotels to register and get ac-
commodations. He was refused, on the plea
that all the rooms in the house were taken. A
few minutes afterwards, several white persons
stopped at the same hotel and We're instantly
provided for. Mr.. Cook brought action in the
U. S. Court, under the civil rights bill, against
the proprietor. The case was tried, and YER
dict for the plaintiff returned by the jury. In
reference to the plaintiff the Lynchburg FIR

Before the developments in the Belknap

speakers to New Hampshire and Connecticut.

questions, and to have met the Republicans on

committee that had the investigation in charge,
have been sent up there, and several others,
together with one hundred thousand copies OF
the proceedings in the case. Robbins, of N.

soldiers, are the committeeman, and Walker,
OF Va, one Of the others. The Yankees will
soon see through these gentlemen, and then
increase the Republican vote.
