Old MaidisIn.

A very foolish and yet very prev
alent prejudice is entertainedagainst
unmarried women as a class. This
we hold to be as absurd as it is un'
generous. We will start with the
totally unchristian axiom that wo-
meD are vastly superior to the
.IorGs of creation in goodness.
This point admitted-snd what man
will gainsay it?-we proceed to ar
que that among the many good wo-
men in this very good world, as
worlds 90, there will be quite a
number far above their sex, and SO,
by consequence, incidentally above
the best of men. 1t might often
happen that the ladies Of great splr'
itual altitude would never meet IN
the course of their lives man grand
enough to mate with them. 10
unite with man whom they do not
feel to be their equal would be al
NEST as great an outrage on the finer
instincts as marrying for money,
which is a meaner, viler thing than
any animal could possibly dream OF.
Besides this there are many old
maids who have had numerous Of
fers, but they, with a fidelity worthy
a better thing than a man, cling to
some first fancy-some memory of ?
lover who has passed away. That
there are old maids Of a sour aspect,
with lips severe and eyes of formal
cut" we do not deny, but we believe
them from our observation to be
very few compared with legions OF
'poky' old bachelors who infest the
shady side of forty-fve, and soon af'
ter retire from a world where we
hope they will know better. In
short, we conclude that, while it is
also best for man to be married, it
is often the wisest thing a woman
can do to remain single.-Battlmore

Senator Thurman will be chairman

of Senator Edmunds, and Senator
Randolph or Gordon chairman OF

stead of Senator Window. There
are thirty-fve standing committees
in the Senate. The craftsmanship OF
three Of these will probably be given
to the republicans, and there are
thirty democratic Senators who have
served some years and who are enti-

FINS TEMPORIS.
BY REV. ELBERT TURNER.


Time is swiftly speeding onward;
Soon the years shall cease to be;
Soon 'sthe great archangel, standing
On the land, and on the sea,
While the trump of God, loud peallng,
Thrice ten thousand thunders roar,
Shall swear by "Him that lives forever,
Time was, but ''time shall be no more. "
Then will Christ, in clouds descending,
Come to bear his people home;
While in wild confusion blending,
Nature waits her final doom.
Then will He ellis jewels gather
From earth's vast expanse around,
All who sweetly sleep in Jesus,
At that great awakening sound,
From the desert, wierd and lonely,
From old oceans coral caves,
Sorrowing ones, who with Him suffer
ed"
Then shall burst their myriad graves
"These dry bones shall live and flourish,
Bone shall come again to bone,
Deaths sad reign shall then be ended,
And his sway forever gone.
''There the wicked cease from troubling,
There the weary are at rest,
There earth's scorn and proud contumely
Meier again shall wound the breast.
No more weary hours of sadness;
There no temples throb with pain;
In that home of Joy and gladness
Griefs shall ne'er distract again.
Roll on, ye suns, ye planets, grandIy,
Ye ''stars, who in Creations morn
Sang anthems to the Great Jehovah,
And hymns of joy when earth was
born"
Your light shall fade, but man, immortal,
Shall chant a nObler, sweeter psalm;
Redemption's strain beyond deaths
portal,
All Alleluia to the Lambl
In hope we wait, loved ones in glory;
We soon shall greet you on that shore,
Where mid the bliss of joys eternal
Wen call to memory scenes of yore.
Wen oft recount the fiery trials
Which brought us such blest reward
And oft repeat, mid bliss unclouded,
Forever, ever with the Lordl'

A LeVeI-Headed Man.
Baltimore American.

The following is an extract from
the will ofa gentleman who was citi-
zen of and who died recently in Bal
timore County, and which he direc-
ted should be read at his funeral.
The leading traits of his character
throughout his life were honesty and
truthfulness, and the exact shows
how he, as a dying man, viewed the
popular and fashionable funeral
pageantry of the day: In view
Of the uncertainy of life, l hereby
commit to writing my last wishes
with regard to the manner and means
used for the disposal of my mortal
remains. First, wish my body to
be clothed 10 a plain shroud. L
wish no flowers, nor mock display.
l object to my body being carried to
the church. ! wish it to be removed
from my earthly home to its last
resting-place, there to rest, unmark.
ed, unless at some future time some
child or children are moved so to do.
Most earnestly Irequest that nothing
called mourning shall be worn by
rny family, as / am persuaded this
has become a solemn mockery. If
the heart is not the fountain from
whence these emotions flow they can
never emanate from this source,
Above all, I wish no underseryed
eulogies pronounced over my re-
mains. If there was one trait in
nv character worthy of imitation
then initiate it, aud with the last
look bury all nay imperfec tions and
infermities with my remains. With
outrefecting upon my friends, / may
allude to one infrmity of our natures
that is, in dying with each other tt
show our consideration and respect
for them that are beyond this infu'
epce. There was time, but the op'
portunity is lost. II may select
the ground for a few remarks, it il
from these words: 'UuproftablC
tenant Lastly, in order to satisfy
the curious. and avoided reflections
upon my family, l request--or tn
minister officiating to read this pub
licly at my funeral. J.H. s."

CHRISTIAN CONSOLATION.
''ShalI We Know Each Other in
HeaYen2" Rev. T. De Witt
Talmage in st. Louis.
From the New York Herald.

49,
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 2, 1879.
The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage,
D. D., of the Brooklyn Tabernacle,
preached here to-day in the Central
Presbyterian Church, of which DR..
Brank is pastor, corner of Lucas and
Garrison avenues. The edifce was
crowded to its utmost capacity. DR..
Talmage read a lesson, descriptive
of the wall of heaven, from the Book
of Revelation. He preached on the
question ''Shall we know each other
in heaven?" The text was taken
from II. Samuel, xii, 23-"I shall
go to him."
There is a very sick child, said DR..
Talmage, in the abode of David the
King. Disease, which stalks up the
dark lane of the poor and puts its
smothering hand on the lip and nos
tril of the man and master, also
knocks at the palace door aud, bend
ing over the pillow, blows into the
face of young prince the frosts of
pain and death. Tears are wine to
the King of Terrors. Seven days
have passed. There are in that
great house two eyelids gently clos
ed, two little hands folded, two little
feet silent, one heart still. The SER
wants come TO bear the tidings to
the king. He wipes away the tears
from his eyes and clears the choking
grief from his throat and eXclaims,
Il shall 60 to him." Was David
right or wrong? If we part on earth
will we meet again in the next world
Is this doctrine Of future recognition
of friends in heaven guess, a myth,
whim, or is it a granite foundation
upon which to build a glorious
hope?

hew away this faculty of memory
You know very well that our joy in
any circumstance is augmented by
the companiOnship of our friends.
We cannet see a picture with less
than four eyes, or hear song with
less than four ears. We want some
one beside US with whom to exchange
glances and sympathies, and I sup
pose the joy of heaven is to be aug.
mented by the fact that we are 10
have our fireside with us. Heaven
is not bedwarfng-it is an expan
sion. Here l see you with only two
eyes. but there the soul shall have a
million eyes. 1t will be Immortality
gazing on Immortality, ransOmed
spirit in colloquy with ransomed
spirit, victor beside victor. When
John Evans, the Scotch minister,
was seated in his study, his wife
came in and said to him, my dear,
do you think we will know each other
in heaven?" He turned to her and
said, my dear, do you think we will
be bigger fools in heaven than we
are here" (Laughter.)
Again, l accept this doctrine OF
future recognition because the
worlds expectancy dirms it. In
all lands and ages this theory is re.
ceived, and under all forms Of reli-
gion. Under every sky, by every
river, in every zone the theory ia
adopted, and 80 l say principle
universally implanted must be god
implanted, and hence a right belief
The argument is irresistible.
FEATURES OF THE SOUL.
Again adopt this theory because
there are features OF moral tempera
ment and features of the soul thai
will distinguish us forever. How do
we know each other in this world
Is it merely by the color of the eye,
the length of the hair or the facial
| proportions? Oh, no! 1t is by the
disposition as we'll, using the word
in the very best sense aud not in the
bad sense, and if in the dust our
body should perish and lie there for.
ever, and there should be no resur'
rection, still the soul has enough
features and the disposition has
enough features to make US distin'
guishable. 1 can understand how in
sickness a man may become SO
delirious that he will not know his
own friends, but will we be blasted
with such insufferable idioCy that
standing beside our best friends fol
all eternity we will never guess who
they are?

POSITIVE CERTAINTY y

The object of this sermon is to
take this theory out of the region Of
surmise and speculation into the re-
giOn of fpositiVe certainty. I believe
that can bring an accumulation of
argument TO bear upon this matter
which will prove the doctrine of fu-
ture recognition as plainly as that
there is any heaven at all, and that
the kiss of reunion at the celestial
gate will be as certain as the dying
kiss at the door Of this sepulchre.
The doctrine is not so often positive
ly stated in the Word of God as inn
piled, and you know, my friends,
that that is, after all, the strongest
mode Of affirmation. What consola-
tion would it be to David to go to
his child if he would not know him
We read in the first book of tha
Bible, Abraham died and was gath
cred to his people, Jacob died and
was gathered to his people, Moses
died and was gathered to his peo.
pie. What people? Why, their
friends, their comrades, their old
companions. 1t cannot mean any
thing else. So in the very beginning
of the Bible four times that is taken
for granted. The whole New Testa
ment is an arbor over which this
doctrine creeps like luxuriant vine
full of tile purple clusters of conso
lation. The Bible says We are to b'
higher than the angels, and if thel
have the power of recognition, shall
not we have as good sy esight and a.
good capacity? Why, Paul talkec
about meeting his congregation il
heaven and recognizing them.
OTHER ARGUMENTS.
The rejection of this theory i'm
plies the entire obliteration of ou
memory. Can it be possible tbs
We shall forget forever those wit
whose walk, look, manner. we hav
been so long familiar? Will deaf

CROSSING THE RIVER.

One more reason why / am dis.
posed to accept this doctrine Of fu-
ture recognition is, that so many in
their last hour on earth have con-
irmed this theory. speak not of
persons who have been delirious in
their last moments and knew not
what they were about, but Of per.
sons who died calmly aud who were
not naturally superstitious. Often
the glories of heaven have struck
the dying pillow and the departing
man has said that he saw and heard
those who had gone away from him.
How often it is that in their dying
moments parents see their departed
children and children see their de-
parted parents. came down to the

will give a signal back to US, and
the boat comes and our departed
kindred are the oarsmen. The fires
