| the first heaven and the first earth passed

God out of heaven, prepared a bride adorned for
her husband. Rev. 81: l, 2.
"a Neo Heaoen. "A sky, and clouds,
and atmosphere of higher beauty and more
genial temperature than those which sur
round us with their loveliness-a heaven
which no more robes itself in storms and
blackness, nor flashes with the thunder
bolts of wrath, nor casts forth plaques Of
hail, and fire, and judgment, nor gives
lurking places for the devil and his angels,
nor is ever again disturbed with omens of
evil, or connections breeding disaster to
the jewellers under them.
"And q neao earth."-One which no
longer smarts and smokes under the curse
of sin, needing to be torn with hooks aud
irons in order to the bringing forth of its
fruits-an earth where thorns and thistles
no longer intest the ground, nor serpents
hiss among the flowers, nor wild beasts,
bent ON destruction, hide in The forests;
an earth whose sod is never cut with
graves, whose soil is never moisened 18th
tears or saturated with human blood, whose
fields are never blasted by unpropitious
seasons, whose inhabitants never say, 81
am SICK" whose ways are never marked
with funeral professions or glutted with
armed men on their way to war, but
whose hills ever flow with salvation, and
whose valleys ever resound with uninter-
rupted joy; and earth which CLOVIS from
end to end with the blessedness of Para

"And q neao city"-A heaven. built
home-place for the saints of God, decked
and adorned with jewelry. and glory Gas
bride adorned for her husband" where
the Church shall rest from her long con-
test with ignorance and sin, and be COM
forted forever with the light and love of
her Redesmer. John saw that city, and
tells of it in terms which almost blind us
with their brightness. 1t is not built up
of earth, but comes down out of heaven,
blazing with the glory of God, and girt
with radiance jasper-hued but as crystal.
1t is "great city," fifteen hundred miles
in length, and in breadth, and in height,
with foundations and walls of precious
jewels, gates of pearls, and streets of
gold, so pure as to be like transparent
glass, and needing no light Of sun or moon
because illuminated with eternal light and
glory of God and of the Lamb-the true
eternal city"-the imperishable metropo-
lis OF the new heaven and the new earth.
And the rein that renovated and bright,
ened scene of things, in that blest order
when these present heavens and this pres
ent earth have passed their grand palm
gsnesia shall be that greater, higher, holier
final thanksgiving, of which these days of
earthly praise remind us. And if in these
old heayens, and this old earth, and in
this earthly city, there be so much to stir
our hearts and open our lips with songs
of thankfulness. how shall it be when once
that new creation opens up it's beauties,
and that golden Jerusalem has become
ever everlasting home?-Dr. j. A. Seiss..

A MAN with an inconveniently good
memory can sometimes make himself
about the most uncomfortable object on
earth, as Hon. William r. Morrison,
chairman Of the committee on Way
aud Means, is doubtless ready to attest
The Southern Democrats We're Just be-
coming reconciled to his appointment
when an exposure occurred that must
have damaged him beyond recovery in
their esteem. He, with the other
members of the committee, made call
on the President. The President ad
vanced quickly, and, without waiting
for an introduction, seized Mr.. Morri
son by the hand, saying that he re-
membered him well as gallant Union
soldier at Fort Donelson. What a
cruel remark to make Of an aspiring
Democratic politician just at this time
Now if Grant could only have said that
he remembered having taken him
prisoner at Fort Donelson.

THOSE who believe in special providence
might be pardoned if they regard the ex-
ceptionally mild-weather of the winter,
thus far, as a direct interpostion on behalf
of Chicago. The unrightoous railroad
combination, which has Disseminated so
heavily against thise ity in the matter of
freights, has been thwarted to a considera-
BILE extent by the weather and that only.
The Grand Trunk Railway was not in the
combination, but would have been at its
mercy with frozen harbors here and at
Milwaukee, because the other lines refused
to carry for it unless the freight were
charged full rates all through. Fortunately
however, steamers have beensable to ply
from Chicago and Milwaukee to Grand
Haven, making direct connections with
the tracks of the Grand Trunk, and that
road has done a frst>class business, while
the grain cars of other lines have waited
for employment, except as they could obs
tain it by reaching out to points beyond
this city. 1t has also transpired that
some of the roads, especially those at the
Eastern end of the routes, have suffered so
heavily by the competition of more southern
lffses, which have accepted low freights
rates, that they are now weakening A
speedy collapse of the whole combination
is now considered to be very probable:
they having soon found that their instruc-
lions have returned "to plague the inven>

low prices. Messrs. /. Blum G Bro. have

after the most discouraging labor. Yet
the Bishop never lost courage, but went
on working for our benefit and for the
benefit Of those who are to follow u.
Speaking Of the life and works Of the late
Bishop, he said that he felt that he could
not do Justice to the subiect-not be-
cause he had not the feelings, but his lips
were not adequate 70 express his feel
ings. His feelings were those Of one who
knew him in all the priyacies as well Is
the grandeur Of his lie; although he was
grand in public lie, he was still more
glorious in private life. Father sulli-
van closed his address By e1horting his
hearers not to leave the 'cemetery before
they had offered prayer Of gratitude for
ali The Bishop had done in their behalf.
Bishop Kahn spoke briefly, but elo-
quently. He trusted that his people
would often kneel at the altar, where, in
the midst Of the solemn monuments, di.
vine sacrifice will be offered. This sacri.
fee will be offered up as sacrifice Of
atouement for dear, departed friends. As
YOU draw near the holy altar you will

drawing down peace, retreshment and
consolation. When our friends die, they
wing their flight away 10 God, and are
still united 70 Us. He then alluded e
the subject Of the mortuaty chapel, and
asked what holier thought could animate
a person than TO pray for thefriends thai
have gone before him. The chapel had
been erected to the honor and memory Of
the sainted Bishop-a monument moi
worthy Of him, but . monument his hui
mility and his piety would have dictated
In closing, the reverend gentleman sug,
gested that the building had been blessed
but not built and as God did not rair
down pecuniary assistance he should ex
pect all TO cooperate and assist in paying
