WHO ARE IMMORTAL AND VINO ARE NOT

WHO ARE IMMORTAL AND WHO ARE NOT.
The wicked shall be turned into
SHEOL,; all the Gentiles that forget
God. The wicked are those "who
know not God, and obey not the gospel
of the Lord Jesus Christ" OF these,
there are three classes; sinners that
never heard of the one true God, the
Lord Jesus Christ, and the Gospel ; and
others who are physically incapable of
faith and obedience second, those who
have come to an understanding of the
gospel, but have rejected it /, and third
those who have obeyed it, but do not
hold fast the beginning of their conf
dence steadfast to the end, nor walk
according to its precepts, but after the
flesh. The first class dies and perishes
as beasts the second also dies, but
comes forth from the grave again to
encounter the burning Indignation OF
Christ, the Judge of the living and the
dead, at his appearing and kingdom
and the third also comes forth to be
judged, and to undergo, in condemna-
zion "a Sore3 punishment in the fiery
indignation which shall devour the
adyersaries.

Immortality.

From a Work by Rev. John Thomas, NJ. D.
Immortality is deathlessness. God
only has a nature in which the death
principle never existed. incompatible
bility and life constitute Immortality /;
SO that Immortality may sbe defined
life manifested through incOrTMptibLe body.
A diamond is incOrruptible, but not liv-
ing therefore it is not immortal. Pa
ganism defined immortality to be,
particle of divine eff1uence in all men,
hereditarily transmitted, and having
personality and consciousness after
death ! The Scriptures however reveal
no such conceit. The Immortality they
bring to light is, life and incorrupti-
bility through the gospel - OF eternal
life through the Christ Name" I'm
mortality is promised only to those who
are justified by the name of Jesus; and,
being justified, acak worthy Of the name:
In being introduced Unto the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Spirit" rlght-minded believer
of the truth obtains "a right to the tree
of life, and to an entrance through the
gates into The CITY," or kingdom OF God.
Immortality is an Investment i'm
posed by divine power upon certain who
come from their graves: and who on
judicial inspection afterwards, are ac-
counted worthy of glory and honor in
the Kingdom of the Deity then about
to be set up. In this, the resurrection
epoch and era of Israel's regeneration,
the earthly bodies from the grave, to-
wit, the bodies of Christ's accepted
brethren, together with the living OF
the same class who are contemporary
with the crisis, are clothed with uncOr-
ruption or spirit from heaven, which in
the twinkling of an eye, transforms
them into spirit, and makes them con-
substantial with the corporal nature
of the Father and the Son.

4 Philadelphia correspondent of the
New York Heta Il writes: Lawyers who
do not belong to the coterie of news
paper parasites never get their names in
the papers. Possibly they may feel some
envy or resentment; but they will never
stoop to the ignoble act of coddling or
intimidating newspaper editors Or pub
fishers. | use this word 'intimidating
with due consideration, for there is hard
ly a newspaper writer in Philadelphia
who has not, at some part of his career.
been threatened by shyster lawyers, WHO
insisted that their names must be con-
stantly put into the papers. Why, TO
choose an apt illustration and one known
to nearl y everybody, lawyer recently
brought an acton in Philadelphia court
for libel upon the tlimaiost pretext against
Philadelphia newspaper man for the
admitted purpose of getting revenge for
the omission of his name from a brief
report of a magistrates court caao. And
judge unwittingly lent himself to the
outrageous persecution, This sounds; in
credible, but such things bs.ppen here.
This same lawyer ever, went further, a
great deal fprt,ler. He tried to put the
newspaper man in jail by having the
capias served SO late in the afternoon
that sureties could not be found, but, de-
feated in that he actually had the audac-
ity to 60 to the bondsman who had
rendered his name 20 the prosecuted
writer and attempted TO browbeat him
into withdrawing his friendly assistance
He belongs To the class of lawyers who
figure prominently in the newspapers
here, and such is the treatment that men
on the press in this city who can not be
bought or cajoleti have 10 expect.

Antique Furniture.

Antique furniture is still very much
sought after among the more fashionable
people. The rage for it, however, has
passed away and only really choice bits
command high prices. There are three
establishments devoted to the business in
Washington, one in Georgetown, and
one in Alexandria. In these YOU may
often find some very fine pieces, This il
one of the oldest parts of the United
States, and in early times it contained 8
very wealthy population. Much of the
furniture of colonial days was imported
from France or England, and it is not
an uncommon thing TO run across a relic
of Washington or Jefferson in one OF
these antiquity shops. In one of The
furniture stores of Alexandria, which
was a hotel in Washington's day, they
have for sale bed in which it is said
Washington used to sleep. Twas offered
once for $35 the desk which Thaddeus
Stevens used while he was in congress,
and | know of houses in this CITY in
which pieces of the furniture of Thomas
Jefferson are in daily use. Calling upon
Gen. Tyler, the gray-haired son of the
president, last night, took my seat upon
high, straight-backed, old-fashioned
chair, which, upon my noticing, the gen
eral told me was over two hundred and
fifty years old. 1t was brought by his
ancestors to this country in sixteen hun
dred and something, and had been in the
family ever since. 1t is of English oak,
now turned by age to the color of the
darkest of black walnut, and was so well
made that not a crack or joint showed.
Father Bassett, who for fifty years has
been in the employ of the United States
senate, has some of the finest old relics
in Washington. Among them is an old
fashioned lamp which lighted the senate
in the days OF Van Buren's vice-presi.
dency, and which for years sat on the
vice-president's desk. Father Basseti
prizes it highly. and would not sell if for
the prettiest thing of to-day in porcelain

SOME little difficulty is expected in the
confirmation of Jennings the Indian
agent at Keshena. The case is pecu-
liar one as both sides have acted in the
most bigoted way. One of the objections
is that Jennings secured his appoint
ment through Mrs. Sherman, because he
is Catholic, aud some of the straight
haired insist they want 10 religion 10
theirs, which interpreted means nothing
Catholic.
On the other hand a Catholic clergy
man living at or near the agency has in
iursd Mr.. Jennings by writing letters
which are SO iusolent in tone as to at once
arouse opposition. The writer has seen
one of these addressed to congressman
IN which the clergyman had the bad
taste to assert that if any one were APP
pointed to the agency distasteful to the
Catholics of that neighborhood, be
would learn through whose influence the
appointment was made and then write to
every Catholic society to oppose that
man at the polls in the future. And it
is claimed he used like threats in speak
ing to another congressman. The style
of work is offensive aud harmful That
it has seriously hurt Mr.. jennings
chances no one can deny. Such things
are used by people who would oppose
Jennings on account of his religion, if
no other cause could be found as pre-
text.
Such threats as these mentioned are
utterly foolish and mischievous and arc
on a level with the opposition to Jeu
nings "because he was appointed to Of
fee on the Recommendation Of Mrs.
Sherman aud she is Catholic AFRO
gance and bigotry are alike distasteful
and both should be whipped.
