Life and Immortality.

What seems probable in the dim light of
nature is made certain in the clearer light
of revelation. Life is but the introduction
to mans permanent existence. Christ has
brought life and immortality to light through
the gospel. ."If we believe that Jesus died
and rose again, even so them also which
sleep in Jesus will God bring with him." If
Jesus did not rise from the dead, there is no
light in the world and no hope for man. III
Jesus rose from the dead, his resurrection
was part of divine scheme, involving the
redemption of his disciples. Did he rise
from the dead ? In all the history of the
world, there is no fact so fully authenticated
AZ the resurrection OF Jesus. The most as
tute and skeptical men believe and stake
their interests on facts which have not a
tithe of the proof in their support which
confirms that event. 1t was testified by
competent witnesses, who could not have
been deceived, and who furnished the most
ilustrious evidence of their sincerity. 1t
gained credence, in spite of all the preju.
dces arrayed against it, among Jews and
Gentiles, and in defiance of the bitter per-
secutions of priests and rulers, with intelli-
gent people, in the very land and in the very
age Of its occurrence. If Christ was not
raised from the dead, the triumph of Chris
tlanlty IN the Roman empire was a more
wonderful and inexplicable mystery than
the resurrection of Jesus itself. I"believe
that Jesus died and rose again" Here
rest my hope. This fact sheds light upon
the condition and destiny of man. 1t solves
thousand questions otherwise unanswer-
able. 1t is an unfaling source of consola-
ton, amid all the tolls, sorrows and disap-
pointments of life. 1t imparts significance
and grandeur to life. 1t sheds a luster on
the otherwise dark and dismal tomb. 1t
lifts the curtain that conceals eternity, and
gives us glimpses of its ineffable glory, and
of its unmixed and unending felicity. Life
is blessed thing, an inestimable possession
to them that wisely use it. 1t is the birth Of
immortality-the dawn of day which will
be darkened by no clouds, disturbed by no
storms, and succeeded by no night. Surely
every Christian may join in the apocalyptic
doxology Unto him that hath loved us,
aud washed us from our sins in his own
blood and hath made us kings and priests
unto God and his Father; to him be glory
and dominion forever and ever. Amen."-
Rev. DR.. J. B. Jeter.

HELP.

My hands have often been weary hands,
Too tired to do their daily task;
And Just TO fold them for evermore,
Has seemed TO boon that was best TO ask.
My feet have often been weary feet
Too tired to walk another day;
And i've thought, " 70 ait and calmly wait,
Ia better far than the onward way"
My eyes with tears have been 40 dim
That have said. =" cannot mark
The work do or the way | take
For everywhere It " dark-so darkr'
But, oh, thank God There never has come
That hour that makes the bravest quail
No matter how weary my feet and hands,
God never has suffered my heart TO fail.
20 the folded hands take mp their work,
And the weary feet pursue their way;
And all Ia clear when the good heart cries,
BE bravei-to-morrow's another day."

When man has succeeded in attaching
others TO him, they cannot see how it is pos
sible that virtues which are so manifest to
them, and beautiful in their eyes, are not
equally conspicuous and splendid to others.
We cannot see how others can hate our
friends. But those others cannot see how
we, who seem 80 honest, can love the people
whom they so hate. Every public man may
lay his plans aud work them with the as
surance that some one will secretly oppose
their accomplishment But, on the other
hand, there Is this consolation, that every
man Of positive character, who leads an ac-
tive life, has many secret friends. There
are often reasons why they do not approach

ANNOUNCEMENT
FOR THE
FALL TRADE
Of
1879
1879

&c. EMERY would say to
his friends and patrons that
with his new and varied stock
of seasonable goods, in each
department, he is fully pre-
pared to meet the wants of
the trade, and solicits an ex-
animation of goods and prices.
CARPET DEPARTMENT.-In
this department the styles are
unique and beautiful, and the
prices so low that very few
need deprive themselves the
comfort or luxury of a new
Carpet; and for the amount
that it will cost, there is no
item that so beautifies or rem
ders comfortable a Vermont
home.
Room PAPERS AND WINDOW
SHADES AS to these goods,
no better or more extensive
stock can be found in the
ST tie, and the prices are such
thai with a few dollars the
walls may be covered with
beauty, and to the chilling
wind may be said: " Thus far,
and no farther."
The DINING ROoM.-A And
for the Dining Room may be
found an unusually fine stock
of Crockery, Glassware and
Table Cutlery, embracing a
new and especially handsome
shape of Crockery, in finish
almost equalling the French
China goods.
FANCY GOODs.-In the Fan
cy Goods department may be
found Majolica and "Pa-
lissey" ware, from the En-
glish, German and French
potteries, japanese novelties,
and Porcelains from "Ltmo-
ges," in France.
For wedding and all pres
ents these goods are largely
taking the place of plated
ware, in consequence Of their
artistic merit and beauty.
To be understood and ap-
preciated the stock needs to
be seen, therefore COME
IND SEE."

oUMpEnED ABOUT MUCH SERVING.

Christ never asks OF us such busy labor
As leaves no time for resting at his Jeeti
The waiting attitude Of expectation
lie ofttimea counts service most complete.
lie sometimes wants our ear-our rapt attention.
That he some sweetest secret may impart;
IT'S always In the time Of deepest silence
That heart finds deepest fellowship with heart
we sometimes wonder why our Lord doth place us
within sphere 40 narrow, so obscure,
That nothing we call port can nnd an entrancei
There's only room TO suffer-to endurel
Well, God loves patencel Souls that dwell In stiffness
Doing the Httie things, or resting quite,
May Just "a perfectly funl their mission,
BE Just AZ useful in the Fathers sight,
As they who grapple with some giant evil
Clearing path that every eye may seei
Our Saviour cares for cheerful deQHieseeHee,
Rather than for busy minisfry.
And yet, he does love service, where 'tis given
BY grateful love that clothes itself in deed
But work that's done beneath the scourge Of duty
lie sure to such he gives but little heed.
Then seek to please him, whatsoe'er he bids thee
whether TO do to suffer. to lie still
Twill matter little by what path he led us,

The following is list of some of our
towns people who with their families will
move on their farms during the summer:
NJ. Webber, J. House, G Farwell, H. T.
Bevens, O. c. Hanson and, last but not
least, ourselves. Several of the above
mentioned parties are making extensive
preparations. and we should judge from
the appearance of their outfits that they
propose working their farms with shot
guns and dogs. One of the party has pur-
chased an Indian pony; but his reckless
ness will have no effect on the others, as
q missionary has been hired to patiently
cndeavour to reclaim him, as it was thought
he might have an idea of going to work, but
such step would be so unusual that it was
almost comicalto anticipate it.

Pure Water Wells.

Moore & Kcnner are now prepared to fill
orders for Pure Water Wells, using an Au-
ger which makes smooth, round hole
eleven inches in diameter, and capable OF
going down to any depth required. The
wells are lined with Seamless Stone Tub
ing, which fills the hole full on the sides
next TO the ground through which it passes,
and prevents the running of the surface
water into the well, thus giving only the
pure, soft water from the veins under the
blue clay. We have well now in opera
tion on our premises, corner 7th st. and
Atlantic Avenue, and invite an inspection
from every one, and our citizens who have
no wells, or whose wells are dry, come and
draw from ours.

inform the citizens of Morris, as to whose
duty it is to protect the swine of our vii
lage. They, the sactns, are running at
large generally, but should, l think, be
protected in their rights (and they doubtless
have legal right to run at large, as no
steps are taken to prevent them). At pres
ent they are abused by men, women and
dogs, which is wrong. Cannot our City
Fathers pass an ordinance for their protec-
ton? NIX.
