DIES IRE.

Day of wrath terrific morning
Earth in ashes at its dawningl
David, Sibyl, both give warning.
Tremor ev'ry heart is rendng
When the Judge is seen descending,
Strict to search our lives offending.
Driven by the trump resounding
Through the graves IN tones astounding,
Come the dead, the throne surrounding.
Death in stupor, Nature quaking
When the dead are seen awaking,
Each to summons answer making
Open lies the Book, containing
Record ample, all arraigning,
Justice, world wide, ascertaining.
None to hide his guilt presumeth
When the Judge his seat assumeth
And to vengeance all sin doometh.
What shall 1, then. wretch be saying,
Whom, as friend, then seek in praying,
When the just are fear betraying?
Mighty King to each offender
Thou salvation free dost tender;
Source of love be my defender.
Jesus while my burdens bearing,
For my safety e'er be caring,
Me from wrath of that day sparing.
Weary steps for me We're hasted
Bitter death in torture tasted
Let not pains so great be wasted,
Vengeance just Thy hand dispenses;
Pardon me for all offences
Ere the day of recompenses.
Hear my moaning, self accusing,
Sin and shame my face suifusing;
Turn not from me, grace refusing
Thou who heard st the thief, when dying,
Marys tears were prompt in drying,
Will not crush me, hope denying.
All my pray'rs are undeserving:
Yet | trust Thy love answering,
Me from lasting fires preserving.
While away the goats commanding,
On Thy right hand keep me standing,
Where Thy chosen sheep are banding.
When the wicked, who have striven
Galnst my Will, to flames are driven,
Blessed peace to me be given.
Lowly, PROSTATE, humbly praying,
Contrite heart before Thee lying,
Care for me when life's decaying
Day of terror sad and fearful!
Day that springs from burning fearful
Judgment day for dead and living
Be, o God that day forgiving.

RELIGION versus SCIENCE.

Every one wishes to have truth on his side
but it is not every one that sincerely wishes to
be on the side of truth. y Whateley.
Human nature has a remarkable Same
ness wherever we encounter it in the
political, the religious, or the scientific
world. The human judgment, for exam
pie, In estimating the merits Of man or
of his performance, is wonderfully infu-
enced In many cases by the question
whether or not he is "on our side" In
times of high political or religious contro-
VERSES, we often laud most extravagantly
the man who deals the heaviest blows
against our opponents, while we but light
ly esteem any blunders he may make
himself. Yea, we sometimes go so far as
even to exalt his faults almost into vir-
tues-provided. he is strongly con our
side" Such seems to have been the case
with some very worthy Christian minis
ters, editors, and newspaper writer's in
the view they have taken of book en-
titled 1.-THE Problem of Human Life" by
MILFORD Hail.
One of these, for whom entertain the
highest personal regard, goes so far as to
say Indeed the wave theory of light
and sound as taught by Tyndall, Helm
holtz, and Mayer is shown by Hall to
be most ludicrously absurd" 1t is re-
markable that any theory in science, like
the vibratory theory of sound, that has
been gaining ground for centuries, and is
at this day accepted and taught by all
scientific professors of both Europe and
America, should suddenly be "shown to
be most ludicrously absurd" 1t is GER
tainly important, before adopting any
such conclusion, to see that we have
Thoroughly investigated the theory Of
light and sound as taught by Tyndall,
Helmholtz, and Mayer" in all it's bear
ings and to institute little self-exami-
nation, to see if we might not be some
what influenced by the feeling that Will
ford is on our side" while Tyndall g.
Co., are con the other side"
After what my friend and former CO.
laborer, Prof. Humphreys, Of Vanderbilt
University, said in your issue Of April
10Th, l should not have taken any notice
OF this sensational book, if had not be-
lieved that reproach was likely to be
brought upon the Christian religion by
its injudicious advocates attempting to
make hero of such a charlatan in science.
as Prof. Humphreys has shown MILFORD
Hall to be. But claiming place las
do among 4those who are the defenders
of our Holy Religion from a scientific
standpoint, have felt it to be my duty
to look into the teachings Of this Z" New
Light"
The truths Of Science are from the
same divine source as those of Religion.
If, therefore, "religionists" attack science,
Gas Hall has done), they do harm to their
own cause, no less than scientists .

The New York Sun recently said ::
" An agnostic is a man who doesn't know
whether he he has a soul or not, doesn't
know whether there is a future life or
not, doesn't believe that any one knows
any more about these matters than he
does, and thinks it waste Of time to try
to find out"

THE SENATORIAL dead lock was brok-
en- Tor rather traded Off for another) on
Wednesday last by both Grow and
Oliver Withdrawing. On the ballot
previous to such action ten Democrats
voted for Wolf, and If another ballot
had been taken previous to adjournment
1t Is said still more would have gone
over to Wolf. Thursday, on the first
ballot the anti. Cameron men voted for
General Bayne, who received 81 votes,
and the Cameron men voted for General
Beaver who received 63 votes. The
Democrats cast SO votes for Wallace. A
second ballot was taken at which the
vote was Wallace Sc, Beaver 6S, Bayne
60, scattering "a, these votes being di-
vided between thirteen different clark
horses"
The votes taken on Friday and Satur-
day showed no change in the relative
strength of the parties, except that
enough of the scattering vote was cap
tured by the Beaver men to raise his
vote to so. That at present seems to be
the highest point he can reach. The
indications are that the next Senator
has not yet been pushed to the front.
The feeling of the people seems to be
opposed to the idea of having any one
man select the candidate and say who
shall, and who shall not be voted for,
and for that reason it was unfortunate
for General Beaver that the caucus that
decided to accept him in place of Oliver
was held at Senator Cameron's house.

The Senate Committee on education and

this session Of the resolution TO carry into
effect the eght-hour law. The subject was
discussed yesterday, and majority OF the
committee voted to postpone It's consideration
indefinitely. Be II said to the credit Of Senator

down the aisle together general glggle went

their combined strength to bear upon the

PEELED to be seated, was the full force of their
authority recognized. After that the birds
had comparatively plain sailing. Quiet was
soon restored, the gavel took rest, and the
hum.drum of dull detail was proceeded with
as usual.
An effort was made yesterday to put an
amendment on the legislative bill providing
that Senators and Representatives before draw

amendment was voted down.

The Electoral Count.

According to previous arrangements
the Senate and House met in the Hall
of the House in joint convention on
Wednesday last, to count the electoral
vote. The Vice President opened each
package Of returns and handed them to
the tellers who announced the vote. The
Vice President opened the packages in
alphabetical order, except the vote of
Georgia. When the last State was
counted the tellers proceeded to foot up
the votes cast for President and Vice
President.
Senator Thurman, teller from the Sem
ate, then said: "The tellers report that
the whole number of Electors appointed
to vote for President of the United
States, 369, of which majority is 1856.
If the votes of the Electors for the State
of Georgia are counted as cast ON the
second Wednesday of December, 1880,
being the eighth day of said month, the
result would be for James A. Garfield,
of the State of Ohio, for President of the
United States, pa votes, and for Win
field S. Hancock, of the State of Penn
sylvania, for President of the United
States, 1855 votes. If not counted the
result would be: For James A. Garfield
for President of the United States, PA
votes, and for Winfield s. Hancock, 144
votes. In either event James A. Gar
field has received majority of the votes

Senator Thurman made similar
statement relative to the vote for Vice
President; wherefore, said Vice Presi-
dent Wheeler, 1 do declare James A.

received majority of the votes of the
whole number of electors appointed, is
duly elected President of the United

Alive with a Broken Neck.

A French Canadian employed at Rum
ney's mill in Clarion county, fell from a
trestle one day last week, causing dislo-
location of the neck and the fracture of
several of the bones. The attending
physician set the bones in their proper
place, put the man in sitting position,
and by means of rope rugged over a
pully, with an adjustable weight at the
end, supports the head. The chances
for his recovery are said to be favorable.
1t is said to be one of the most extraor-
binary cases ever recorded.

A Terrible Crash.

BUFFALO, FEBRUARY 6.-Shortly AFTER
o'clock this morning the arched roof
Of the old New York Central and Hud-
son River Railroad Depot, on Exchange
Street, overweighted with the accumu-
lated snow and weakened by the remov-
al of offices which formerly contributed
greatly to Its support, fell crashing to
the earth, burylng a number of persons
and cars beneath a tangled mass Of iron,
wood, glass, snow and brick. The st.
Louis express train was three hours and
half late and Its connecting train on
the Lake Shore, composed of four cars
and the sleeper, stood on the outer track
waiting for It, A Canada Southern
train had just hauled out of the depot
and only twenty minutes before the day
express on the Central had borne east
ward large load of living freight
Switch engine No. 1856, manned by
Frank Schoefer, engineer, was standing
on the middle track, ready to take Coro-
ner Scott to East Buffalo. Near the
other end of the new depot was train
of fiat cars. On the track just outside
of the south wall was SOME old passen-
ger cars.
The Lake Shore train was buried
from sight by roofing material. The
switch engine was broken and partly
dismantled. An unsightly gap was
torn out of the wall of the beautiful
new waiting-room by the fatal mass
which had crushed the life of Captain
Byrnes. The old cars which stood on
the track were all torn to pieces.
The work of overhauling the ruins
was Immediately commenced by men,
bers of the Fire Department and the
employees of the railroad Company,
and the first two bodies were those of
Captain Byrnes and Harry Waters
Shortly afterward the workmen found
the mangled body of William Wells clerk
of Car Inspector Howe of the Lake Shore
Railroad, and two other bodies were
quickly found.
The scene presented by the fallen
structure was most ruinous one
Large piles of bricks, iron girders and
heavy timbers lay piled in an indescriba-
BILE mass, while the ragged walls tottered
and fell in sections. The noise resem-
bled that of an earthquake and was
heard mile distant. The whole of the
old depot structure which was 450 feet
long, 20 feet in height, 100 feet wide
with arch 76 feet, save so feet of the
walls and the fourth arch, is mass of
ruins. 1t was bully in 1866. At no
other hour of the day or night could the
accident have happened without more
terrible loss of life, as the depot at the
time was comparatively deserted. The
only train made up and waiting was the
Lake Shore to Erie, which was waiting
the coming of the New York Central
and the Erie from the East, both of
which were behind time. The Niagara
Falls train went out abont five minutes
before the crash, and the Eastern-bound
trains had been gone about an hour
The fast mail which was due about the
time of the accident, was behind time,
and the heavy Pacific express, due at
o'clock, was three hours late.
