The inffinr enent OF this law is the rock
upon which many split. The Apostle
Paul, ,7ith ali ais augmentation and all
his strong expressions, makes most


prominent OF all this law of love. Very


plausible objections are made oftentimes


to it's complete 1fulfilment. : Men appear


to think il they meet what they call the
spirit of it the action is not SO important.


Thus persons can go to law with a pro


fession Of love for their defendants
which TOO thinly covers spirit of re-


sentiment. They even pray for them il
words, bat pursue their own cause in
courts Of law with as much alacrity as
if their defendants were a sort Of devil.
That is ssau religion. Hence the con-


stsnt apostolic iDjunctions upon the law
of love. The human code is, TO see that
We lose nothing, the divine code is, to
lay do~n everything for God, and to
spend sad be spent for others, Though
the more abundantly we love them the
less we be loved" This divine code
hss divine pattern, pattern which no
man can fully reach; and yet, by the
may. according to our present capacity,


obey the law Of love. For if we are
sincere in this matter, an1 look well to
the model, we shall be sweetly conscious
gcther. Yes, it is even sweeter tho't
that Jesus, the pattern, and his own
spirit, the power, have taken Up their
abode in our hearts, and dwell within US
to fulfil in US the royal law of love.
which is liberty IN its broadest and full
est sense.


Let Jesus be enthroned, AM there
will be a hearty as we'll as willing res
ponse 20 every one of those iniunctions
to which we have referred. There will
be no questions, no endeavor to evade
the intended force and extent OF the
heavenly spirit, An evasive spirit is
from the pit, and belongs to the devil
and aIi who are sled captive by him at
his will Not SO are those who have
been born Of God. Their path is ''as
The shining light, which shineth more
and more unto the perfect day" And
as for our own personal experience of
this code of life and love, the Scripture
is ppIicable-''bereby 1e know that he
abideth in us, by the spirit which he hath
given US"


The divine statement of his holy law
is given il these words, q Thou shalt
love "a Lord thy G od with all thy heart
AMI ulsa all thy sonl, and with all thy
mind, ani with all thy strength, and thy
neighbor as thyself." How utterly in
complete is their righteousness who
claim to have performed the second part
of this requirement aud have no refer
ence to the first! Without supreme love
to God it is impossible to act with full
recognition of the law of love toward
our neighbors. For the love will be
wanting. Men may treat each. other as
gentlemen without the grace of God.
Indeed. sincere follower of the Lamb
may be entirely deficient in some of the
nicer forms of etiquette-he may not
even desire to observe all the rules of
worldly societies. But if love is wanting
what is respect, what is etiquette, what
are all forms of dignified and >social

never saved soul, and without the

thus to ruin the soul forever. God

The following brief report Of the exami.
nation of General Lorenzo Thomas before
the senate possesses rare interest:


The witness appeared in full uniform, and
bore himself well upon the direct examina-
tion. His description of the interview with
Mr.. johnson, when the latter handed him
the order making him secretary of war ad
interim, and said, General Thomas, / am
determined TO support the constitution and
laws, and desire you to do the same" were
very amusing, although the importance of
the statement was also recognized. The
fact was brought out, for the first time, in
Thomas evidence, that after Stanton had
refused to vacate the Office Thomas went
down stairs to his room and certified q
copy of the presidents order, as secretary
of war ad interim. and carried the
book to Stanton. During the direct examina.
tlon General Thomas got on pretty well,
and for time after General Butler began
his Cross examination. Buffers manner
Was harsh toward the witness, so much so
as to turn sympathy in favor of the latter;
but later in the examination it became more
apparent that Buffers purpose was to break
the witness down by forcing him out of any
track he might have marked out for him
self, by which he would be able to withhold
part of what the managers wanted to
know, and it was final success in this. that
it partially excused Mr. Buffers rough
handling of Mr.. Thomas, though very sharp
criticism OF the matter was freely INDUCED
in by many Of Mr.. Buffers friends. At
length Mr.. Thomas admitted that at one
time he had fully determined to use force in
getting into the war Office, and he repeated
this several times in very decided manner,
and much to the discontinue ofthe counsel.
He also testified that he had been fully rec
ognized as secretary Of war ad interim at
cabinet meetings, and was still so recog
nized. This was turned by Butler at once
upon that portion of Curtis's argument
where it was held that the president had
only gone as far as he could go himself in
appointing General Thomas to the war
office, and then sent in the name for action
of the senate. On the whole, while those
present sympathized very deeply with
Thomas, the impression on the minds of
most was that the presidents counsel had
damaged their case by producing him, and
the managers strengthened theirs. The
sympathy arose entirely from the feeling
that he had grown gray in the service of his
country, and that such a man, before such
an audience, should be treated with the
respect due to his rank and his years.

The Albany IN. W Argus OF Decembers says
edltorially:-


The jury before whom Cole was tried for
muroer, after an eXhausting trial, followed by
wearying confinement from Friday to Monday,
came INTO court with a verdict OF acquittal. SO
the homicide goes free!


The prisoners counsel had artfully presented
the alternative OF capital conviction or an
entire acquittal. The jury, regarding the pro-
vocation of the crime, would not decree the
punishment OF death, and went to the other
extreme of an acquittal


AnG yet the second trial developed series of
facts more fatal TO the accused than the first.
The relations of Mrs. Cole aud HScock were
continu Gus, and did not begin in 1orce. The
husband was apprised of his wife's misconduct
go long before the homicide that there was no
provocation 10 sudden madness. The homicide
was designed before the prisoner left Syracuse.


The opponents OF capital punishment will
eXult at this acquitta'. And yet these philau-
thropists have created code as bloody as that
OF Draco, and armed every man with the knife
of the eXecutioner.


Was Mr.. Hiscock's offense- -supposing all that
was charged was true-Worthy OF death? He
had been invited 10 Woman's bedchamber, and
became her paramour That was her story
which she decked out with some poor false
hoods. Be was not permitted to deny his guilt
or plead his eXtenuations. He was condemned
to death without proof or preparation; and the
enemies OF capital punishment clap their hands
sanction of law. Not only the violation of
family honor the seriousness OF which we
admit-but blow, word OF insult, has become
capital oheDse and private vengeance is per-
mitted TO inhict the penalty.

From the CiarksVHle Ohronlcle.J


We have it on good authority that
she Radical in this place told lady that
the whites had better keep sharp look
out, as they-hersef and the Radicals
have three or four hundred armed negroes
at their command, and ready to do their
bidding at moments warning. Whether
to be forewarued is to be forearmed, is q
problem yet to be solved. So far as we
can gather, the whites are as calmly in.
different as if they were not standing
upon volcano that may burst forth at
any moment to whelm them in FIRE. The
indifference manifested on this subject is
really alarming, because it amounts to
apathy.


Armed negroes promenading the streets
is no unusual sight, and attracts no more
attention, even from the police, than so
many persons going to church. Such ex-
hibitions are no unmeaning brevado;
they have an object, and that object is
not peace aud good will. We deprecate
any aggressive measures on the part OF
the whites, but earnestly cntreat tham TO
be prepared for any outbreak. Good
FIRE arms are trusty friends in times Of
danger and no white gentleman should
be without them. We have had warnings
enough; let them be needed for we know
not what night may bring forth. The
Radicals desire disturbance as pre-
text for organizing militia force
throughout the State. Let us prepare
ourselves that should one be insngurated
that neither black nor white Radicals
will ever seek another.

SING AWAY YoUR GRIEF.-Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher gives the following excellent advice:


We can sing away our cares easier than we can
reason them away. The birds are the earliest TO
sing in the morning; the birds are more without
care than anything else know of. Sing in the
evening. Singing is the last thing the robins do.
When they have done their daily work-when
they have flown their last fight, and picked up
their last morsel of food, and cleansed their bills
on napkin Of a bcugh, then on top twig, they
sing one song of praise. | know they sleep
sweeter for il. They dream music; for sometimes
in the night they break forth in singing, and stop
suddenly after the first note, startled by their
own voice. q, that we might sing evening and
morning, and let song touch song all the way
through. As was returning from the country
the other evening. between six and seven O'Clock,
bearing basket Of flowers, met man that was
apparently the tender of mason. BE looked
brick and mortar all over. be had worked the
entire day, and he had the appearance Of q man
that would not be afraid of work. He was walk
ing on with light step, and singing to himself as
he passed down the street, though he had been
working the whole day, and nearly the whole week.

too late, should have given him a large allOt.

"0f course have,D he would have said. "Are
you sipgiDgr "0f course l am" Then take
these flowers home and give them to yonr wife,
and tell her what blessing she has in you"


o, that We could put songs under our burdens
o, that we could extract the sense of sorrow By
song Then these things would not poison so
much. Sing in the house. Teach your children
to sing. When troubles come, 90 at them with
songs. When griefs arise, sing them down. Lift
the voice Of praise against cares. Praise God by
singing that will lift you above trials Of every
