goes the man who has been TO hell"
Perhaps II was necessary that these
men should pass through such o
school to equip them with power to
warn others from its gates. After
many weeks OF such misery, one
Capt. Cyrus Sturdeyant, to whom it
shall be said hereafter, II was sick
and in prison, and We visited me,
came to him on Christly mission.
Through him Murphy was saved be-
fore he Was released. Soon after his
prison noors were opened, and the
skeleton Of his strong frame walked
out bearing soul redeemed, regen-
Grated, and disenthralled, prepared
for work Of which he dreamed not.
Yet the cup was not full; q few
weeks after it brimmed over. The
wits died and the babes olung around
him alone who was thereafter to be
both father and mother to them.
Thank God, they did not cling in
vain. Go to England tonight, and
You will find young Edward MUIR
ply filling her largest halls with the
ringing tones Of a more cultured ell
oquence, and bringing thousands to
the pledge Of total abstinance; and
we welcome here tonight his young
sister, whose sweet voice lends holy
music to her fathers marvellous la
bors. For his and their bread MUIR
ply digged the ground, sawed wood
did all things that came TO his hand
without thought, perhaps, Of the
work God had ia store for him. But
by grace he kept his faith. walking
with prayer the narrow line of recti-
tude, and then it came as if by acci.
dent, that at q, public meeting he
stood up to tell his experience. What
he told be hardly knew himself, but
il patlos, tenderness and truth fell
like electtic shocks Of hidden love
into the hearts Of his hearers.
Thenesiorth the path was open and
tbe duty clear. 4 Saul Of drunken
Des was found 70 be = very Paul Of
temperance. Thenceforward you
know his career IN this country.

The New Postage stamp.

On Tuesday night after the mail was dis
tributed the first sale of the new two-eent
stamps took place. For tine thsy went
off pretty lively and new the American let
ter writer who has fer 50 many years had
his patriotic sympathies narrowed ard his
reverence for the Father of his Country
soreiy tried by the painful caricature OF
George Washington. with its swollen jaw.
brutal features, and dropsical neck s"athed
in an untidy dinner napkin, On the three
cent postage stamp, that now with the re-
duc:ion of letter postage and new issue OF
stamps. Will bring double relief.
In the new two-cent stamp it is to be seen
tha. the aching moln has been pulled, and
the facial swelling has snbslded. while the
head And face bear some resemblance To tie
Gilbert Stuart portrait IN the refinement OF
the lines and expression Of the features.
Trere is an Improvement In the arrange
ment of the hair and queue. The engrav-
ing is done by Alfred Jones, from copy OF
Houdins cast taken from lie.
The new head rests in an oval medallion
on an harsidic shield. The lettering shows
more sharply and distinctly than IN the pres
ent stamps; at the top. the legend, " United
States Postage" and below the medallion,
Two . cents" standing out clearly on
groundwork darker than the body Of the
stamp; while the color, pale carmine red
ink, in which oxide of iron is powerful
component, sufficiently distinguishes the
denomination without blurring the design.
The double rate, OF four-cent, stamp IS OF
a green color, and bears the head OF the
Hero of New Orleans, somewhat less IN
kempt and frightful than other Government
caricaturing Of the grand old Democrat. Ii
Andrew Jackson actually resembles his pos
.age stamps, he needed neither military skill
or equipment he had only to 60 forth and
lock upon his foe "ani the red field was
won.
The process OF printing these stamps differs
essentially from that OF England snd CONT
mental nations who continue to make their
plates directly from the original Ole, and TO
print from raised designs on blocks Ike
types. The American Bank Note Company 5
process is, however, to cut the original die
on soft steel in sunken lines, and !ro IN tnis'
heinc hardened, roll of ralzed transfers
like type are obtained, and from these; In IN
turn, are produced plates Of two hundred
copies of the original die, in sunken hnes'
TN which the stamps are finally printed.
