CIPHER DISPATCHES.

Common Sense View Of the Sale Of Electoral Votes:
We venture to print the following OBJ
servations of David W. Sellers, of Penn
sylvania, who was one of the Democratic
counsel before the Florida returning
board, as embodying great deal Of com.
mon sense:
II always thought this way about the
matter: If the vote of the State could
have been secured for Mr.. Tilden for
$50,000, it would not have taken long to
raise the money; or if an eleCtor had de-
sired to sell out, there we're plenty OF
private parties who would have given
double $4,000. There was Mr.. Smith of
Chicago, for instance, great admirer of
Mr.. Tilden, who spent some $4,000 to
aid in his election. Why healone would,
I believe, have given $4,000 for vote
if occasion for it had arisen. But this is
the most preposterous part of the bust.
ness. The electors were closely watched,
and it would have been as much as their
lives we're worth to attempt to sell out.
Suppose we-thst is, any one of us-as
has been imputed, should have made an
offer to bribe some of these men. Why,
they would have Immediately gone to
their own people and said: Look here /:
We have been offered $4,000, Tor $40.
900, or whatever the sum might bel for
our votes, and we intend to SELL WHY,
Immediately the Republicans would
have controlled their own men better
than we could haYe hoped to. They re.
warded all the men who stood by them.
There were Governor Stearns and Nc.
Lin and the rest of them, who secured
good positions. Every movement we
made was watched closely by our, oppo-
nents, the same as we scanned what they
did. The Republicans sent their smart
est politicians there iii r w. Mackey
and w 3. Chsadler, Of New Hampshire.
They occupied rooms in the State Capitol
and directed their men. If it had be-
come necessary to purchase the vote, l
am sure the Republicans would not have
allowed us to do it, and am certain Mr..
Marble had nothing to do with it. He
amused himself reading Shakespeare or
Milton, or writing editorials, and took no
part in any such scheme as has been rep
resented"

Saturday Night.

Among the multitude of suggestions for
spending the Sabbath in a profitable way,
we say that Saturday night has close con-
nection with it. Saturday night is one of
the resting-places in the journey OF life, when
it becomes every man to settle his accounts.
First, Settle wiM he ,oorid The business of
single week is easily reviewed--its mis-
takes may be easily rectifed and turned TO
good account. The man of business should
some time on Saturday look over his books,
examine his outstanding debts, and see that
all is straight and safe. This is all the more
important il his accounts are numerous.
Great watchfulness is required if he would
escape embarrassment and trouble He who
knows exactly how he stands every Saturday
night will not be likely TO live poor man /;
or, if he likes, he will hardly ever be found
In debt or in want. Second, Settle toiM con
science. Let him review his words and his
actions, his motives and feelings during the
past week. If anything is seen TO be wrong
or defective (and who is he without faults y
let the remembrance of IL be carried into
the next week, that repetition of it may be
avoided. Let him in prayer seek not only
forgiveness for what has been amiss in the
past, but grace to do better for the coming
week. Third, Settle tcih the Lords treasury
Every man owes constant returns of graft
tnde to the Giver of all good. Is it not meet
to finish the settlement of Saturday night
by reviewing all the mercies of the week and
setting apart a portion of its profits to serve
some good cause that will promote the glory
of him "who gave himself for us 2" How
much better and happier might life be with
downright honest settlement every Satur
day night How much brighter would Sab
bath morning be; how much more profit
able the whole day l-Selecied.

Privilege of PRAYER.

Prayer is not consultation with the high.
est wisdom which this world can supply. 1t
is not intercourse with an angel or spirit
made perfect. But it is an approach to the
living God. 1t is access to the High and
Holy One who inhabiteth eternity. 1t is
detailing in the ear of divine sympathy every
sorrow. 1t is consulting with divine wisdom
on every difficulty. 1t is asking from divine
resources the supply of every want. And
this not once in lifetime or for few mo-
ments on a stated day of each year, but at
any moment, at every time of need. What
ever be the day of your distress, it is day
when prayer is allowable Whatever be the
time of your calamity, it is time when
prayer is available. However early in the
morning you seek the gate of access, you
find it already open and however deep the
midnight moment when you find yourself
in the sudden arms of death, the winged
prayer can bring an instant Saviour near.
And this wherever you are. 1t needs not
that you should ascend some special Pisgah
or Moriah. 1t needs not that you should
enter some awful shrine, or put off your
shoes on some holy ground. Could me-
mento be reared on every spot from which
an acceptable prayer has passed away, and
on which prompt answer has come down
we should find Jehouah-Shdmmdr,- the Lord
hath been here INSCRIBED on many a cot
tage hearth and many dungeon floor We
should find it not only in Jerusalem's proud
temple and David's cedar galleries, but in
the fisherman's cottage by the brink of Gen
nessaret and in the upper chamber where

Alone with God.


Conscious, emphatic individuality is the
pivot of true life. So far as man is true
to himself, to his own duty, his own convic-
tions and to his God, he has attained to gen.
uine manhood, and no farther. The tendency
is TO aggregate ourselves, float with the cur
rent, merge the man into the multitude. II
is so in religion. Church has always been
preferred TO individualism; but the real
unit of the Christian life is not the church,
but the individual. The very idea of the
church as expressed in our version of the
Bible is erroneous, because it makes the Or
ganization primary, the structure, the kirk,
or building, the unit. Ecclesid makes the
individual primary, the organization second
ary, and that is the word the Spirit always
uses when referring to the assemblies of the
saints. One by one God deals with man.
He that sins dies, he that repents and be-
lieves on Christ lives. Each for himself re-
ceives grace, hears the voice of God, trusts,
hopes, lives. The individual profits by as
sociation, and belongs to society, has a
mission in it, and cannot be isolated, but his
weight in society is in exact proportion to
his personal strength. If he has not learned
to walk alone with God, to stand erect in
the liberty of his own soul before the cross,
he is not yet a man.-,Selected.

HOnOring Gods House.

The associations of the Lords house are an
incalculable help to the culture of religious
character. We are creatures of association.
We are often moved more profoundly than
we think by our surroundings. The recol
lection of our experiences in the house Of
God may be among the most precious treas
ures that memory boards. The prayers we
have heard there; the old hymns of the
fathers, some of them redolent with the in
cense of thousand years; the sermons
which have moved us; the Scriptures read
and expounded; certain texts which were
new to us, and most timely the light of the
setting sun streaming in at the western win
dows when it seemed like the glory Of Gods
countenance; the seat where the mother sat
holding fast our childish hand, or the cor
ner from which the father turned his loving
eye upon us in mild reproof the pews from
which sainted men and women have gone
to their rest-oh, there are holy forces in
such "reminiscences They are "goldeh
vials full of odors." They come back to IFS
in after years, "trailing clouds of glory
They make the very walls of the house of
God eloquent. The stone cries out of the
wall, and the beam out of the timber
answers it. The very silence of the place
on a weekday is more potent than angel
voices. o thou homely "meeting- u
of my youth, God bless thee If / forget
thee, let my right hand forget her cunning
If do not rembember thee, let my tongue
cleave to the roof of my mouth -Sunday
