BLACK LAKE.
11 Oh, father 1 ” cried little Will Brown, sud
denly, resting from his weary toil over the rough
lava. “Do you soe those great white clouds rising
from the ground? I do believe we are almost
there.”
“I think you are right,” rented -Vtofariior,
“and in another half hour we sluUl stand by the
famous Geysers.”
Willy’s eyes sparkled. “I have thought about
them so much,” said he, “ but I never dreamed
when I was studying Iceland in my old geography,
last winter, that I should be here so soon. How
very kind you ore to take me.”
“Oh, you know I couldn’t live without you.
Will,” said Mr. Brown, looking down with sad
tenderness upon the fuir-haired, motherless boy.
“You’re a capital littlktravelling companion.”
“Yes, I’ll say that for him,” exclaimed one of
the guides, “I expected the children would be a
great trouble, But I haven’t heard a whimper.
He’s a bravo traveller, that’s a fact.” .
Will looked up with a proud smile, and con
tinued his conversation with his father.
“But I wouldn’t live here for a kingdom, fa
ther, though there are so many strange things to
eee. It seems as if something terrible was always
going on under the ground, and as if any time, oil
Iceland might blow right up in the air like a great
rocket. I’m sure last night I heard a very strange
noise, and the ground shook as if some one had
told it a terrible secret, and it was all in a tremble
about it.”
Mr/Brown smiled. “ Oil, I think Iceland is
safe for to-day, Will. You know the people say
it is the very ‘ best land the sun shines upon/ and
don’t you think God is able to preserve it amidst
every peril t”.
“ Yes, father, I do believe God takes' bare of
this country, for,” continued he, a look of awe
marking his expressive face, “I read in my Bible
this morning, ‘He toucheth the hills, and they
smoke,’ and I could not help thinking that He:
must have touched Iceland very often.”
Before his father could reply, a strange, but in
telligent-looking boy, three or four years older
than Will, stoi - - - .. .
The guides- spoke
angrily to him, but the boy walked fearlessly up
to Mr. Brown, the foremost of the party.
“Mads Jagel,” said lie, pointing to himself, by
way of introduction, and then, in very broken
English, he offered his services in showing np the
great steam-fountains.
“Don't have any thing to do with him, sir,”
said the guides, impatiently. “He’s a bad, ill
tempered boy, and will make mischief if he joins
usj” bnt Mads looked so imploringly, that Will
began to plead in his favor with such good suc
cess, that at last Mr. Brown said, “Well, let the
lad go with ns. He certainly needs help, poor
fellow, and I will gladly pay him whatever he
earns.”
With a grateful look at Mr. Brown, and an
equally vivid glance of triumph at the discomfited
guides, ragged little Mads journeyed on by the
side of Willy.
Before long, the whole party stood in wonder
and awe before the mysterious Geysers, and as the
ground shook and moaned, and suddenly sent
forth a column of Bteam, more than a hundred
feet high, Will, trembling, grasped his father’s
hand, attd wondered if it was ahy thing like the
strange pillar of cloud that used to go before the
children of Israel.
But Mads was particularly* lively, when they
came to the fountain called Stroke, or the Churn.
It was very quiet when they first arrived, and did
not seem disposed to offer any salute. But Mads
bustled about, with a very knowing look, gather
ing quantities of moss and stones,, which ho threw
into the tunnel. Immediately there was a load
trembling, as if the old churn were In a great
passion at the insalt, and soon a .grand column
rose in the air, throwing out ail the rubbish iu
high indignation.
Will could not help clapping his hands with a
shrill “hurrahl” although there was somethin®
quite frightful in the demonstration, and Mads
fairly rolled on the ground in ecstaeies of delight.
The next morning as the travellers oontinued
their journey, at Will’s earnest request Mads and
his dog Sktfl accompanied them. The country
was very desolate, with - here and there a tree ho
larger than a lilac bush, but Mads and Will
enlivened the way with a conversation helped
ont by a variety of- expressive gestures. Mads
was full of the wonders of Iceland, and he told
Will many queer stories, not altogether true, how
"under the terrible mountain of Hrcla, the evil
spirits lived, and sometimes when they quarrelled,
great streams of fire rushed from their mouths,
and rolled over every thing, burning up houses
and people, and sometimes drinking up a whole
river,"
Will’s eyes grew large as he listened to these
wonderful stories, but soon ho saw for himself
something ; stranger than he had ever dreamed in
his worst nightmares. They were just upon the
edge of a aqd looking over, they saw at
its base five os six great caldrons of some thick,
blaefc fluid, boiling and steaming away with a ter
rible noise: ,rir
“What is it?” cried Will, clasping hi» ; father's
hand, and turning quite pale.
“It is boiling mud, sir/’ said one of the guides,
“and if riny one falls in there, he will'never coirid
out again.’’
Just then, Skai, who had been gambolling about
Will’s feet; stepped upon a loose stone, which
rolled, and bejfbre any one could help him, the
poor dog had-turnbled over the precipice with a
fearful howl of terror. Down, down he fell into
one of the Horrihie pits,' antTaa Will bent over, he
could just see the hot, black paste closing over
his bushy tail. With'a cry of horror, he buried
his face in his hands, but a sharp elutoh upou his
arm, made him look up to sec Mads with two
eyes bdrdtng.like fire, in the midst’ of,his white
face. . • • -
“Tou did it, ’’ gasped he, looking fiercely at
Will.' “.You kill my Skal 1 ”
“No,*indeed,” oried Will; “he put his foot on
a stone—osg, and rolled over.”
“ You kick him,” said Mads,slowly. “You wish
I forget -~nevsr!" ,
With streaming eyes, and looks of the most
profound syiiflnthy, poor Will explained the oo
f'urrqqce again tpd again, but Mads still walked
s sullen silence*..*>■ ■■ ~
Towards- night, however, Mads grew ; more cheer
ful, anff - * the trdvellcri halted odrlief'tlilih usual,
he proposed to Will that they should take a short
walk as he had something very.cu
rious to show him. Will felt some reluctance, but
not liking to refuse Mat&, when ho was just re
tttfnJug to good‘humor, he at length set out with
jiini,, promising his father soon to return. f
On they went over the desolate country, Mads
eßtertaihlhg Will with wild old legends about the
curious island, till before he was aware, he was all
.alone with Mads in the wildest, strangest place-he
ever saw'.
_ "Where are we?” he asked in sudden alarm
“ Let us go home,..Muds, I,don’t care to see.any
thing euridiis'to-night/’ ■ ’ *
“Almost there,” said Mads. “Hark, it calls
you.” ■. ■’ ' - :
“What?” asked Will, with a failing -heart, as
he heard,a dull, steady roar. “Is it a bear?”
.“Oh, no!” said Mads, with an unpleasant
laugh. “ Here we are,” and dragging him for
ward, he saw lying ten or fifteen feet beneath him,
another of those terrible pits of uiud. He shrank
back with a cry of terror, while Mads clutched
his arm, and £ tagged him again to theedge.
ge'e* Big pond, Black Lake, no bottom,” and
Willy saw that ft was very large,.and boilitig fu
'riousfy, while in that centre rose a black cdltihin
scvhral feet.iu height. .
t'l don’t like Black,Lake at all, Mads.. Bo
let’s go home/’ . -
“ Yon never go home,” said Mads, with burn
ing eyes. ’ ' . .
“ What do you mean?” asked Will, faintly. .
“I love Skal very much. You kill-him, li kill
.yon,” responded. Mads, savagely.
“Oh Lyon cannot aieao it! Ypu are in fun,
dear, dear Mads. You know I didn’t kill poor
Skal, Bis a joke, isn’t it, Mads?” ,
Slads gsiihiy-shook his. head,; , ‘ )
Poor Will looked over the dreary country, half
visible/in-the twilight. Over all the barren rocks
apd fiejds*of, lava, there was- no rlpitnan being rjD
sight, and lie was alone on the brink of this hor
rible lake with Mads' strong clutch on his arui 5 .
It must bo,a dream. Why couldn't he wake? and
he rubbed his eyes, and looked, around piteously,
but alas! it was no dream, and Mads was still,
watching him with those fiery eye.s^_~ — ——
will buy you five,-si x, twelve dogs, beautiful dogs,
w'lth long ears as’soft as silk/'
“•There is no more Skal,” said Mads, briefly.
- - Will-took-out -his little purse, and offered the
contents. Mads threw it contemptuously into the
bubbling lake* ;
“Then I must surely die?” Mads nodded.
“Ob, Mads, how can you be so wicked? You
cannot, cannot mean it;” but Mads arose as if.to
throw him in.
An agonizing scream burst from Will’s lips,
while Mads: laughed contemptuously.
“Oh!‘-if I must die,” cried poor Will, “kill me
with your knife, Mads, dear Mads, but do not
throw mo into that horrible'hot mud.” “
, But Mads replied, “No; Skal die in mud, —
you die, too.”
“Wait a minute, then,” said little Will, the
cold drops gathering 1 on, bis'forehead. “I must
pray first.” ‘ : -
■ “ Black spirit won’t hear,” said Mads.
“But God will.”
“What God? asked Mads, quickly, “are you
Christian ? ” ~7" ; ' ■
, Vis hope so,” said Will, humbly*
“Pray, then,” 1 said Mads, more gently, for he
had' heard something of religion from the many
Iravellefs, “Christian’s God is great spirit.”
Then little Will fell upon his knees; and began
his simple flayer.
. “Oh, God, I have been very wicked, but do
try and forgive me, and, oh:>Gpdj” he sobbed, “ do
try and save me, for I am so afraid of that dread
ful mud, and lam such a boy.” ;
.“Enough,” said Mads, shaking his shoulder,
“One minute more, dear Mads.”
“-One minute,” said Mads, walking away.
“And, oh God, comfort ndy dearest father.
JJott’t let him think I ran away. FotgiVe Mads,
continued poor Will, a new hope springing up in
his heart, “ Give it to him right away, if it’s pos
sible—”
A wild cry interrupted him, and looking up,
he could see nothing of Mads. With shaking
limbs, he hastened to the edge of the precipice,
and there, —having made an uncertain step in the
dim light—Mads had fallen a few feet, and find
ing, it impossible to clamber up the smooth side,
was hanging on desperately to a little twig.
“You *are safe,” whispered a voice. “ Now let
the wicked boy fall in the pit himself.”
It was but a moment, and from Will’s generous
heart arose the fervent prayer—“ Lead us nut into
temptation.” Then, with eager hands, he un
bound his long stout woollen tippet, and fastening
one end to a tough little shrub, dropped the other
over to Mads. Oh! joy! he could just reach it,
and came clambering Up like a young squirrel.
As his bead appeared above the top, poof Will
fell fainting upon the ground, while the angels
continued the prayer—“Bat deliver him from
evil. 1 ’ Mads stole up to him with a wondering,
reverential expression, and lifting him in his arms,
carried him tenderly home. .
Will was sick for many days, while Mads never,
left his side. At last when he was again able to' 1
sp'eak, Mads said suddenly one day, with down-,
cast eyes— f
“ Why save Mads? Why not let Mads die?'
Is it Christian?" j
Will smiled and nodded. :
“Tell me,” said Mads, vehemently, turning to
hide his tears. “It is good. Ibe Christian too.”
And Will, day after day, as he gl*ew better, told
Mods the beautiful story of the cross, and taught
him how to pray.
Before Will left Iceland, poor Mads hoped that
he, too, was a Christian, and he always carefully
carried in his bosom, Will’s little Bible, which, i
although he could not read a word of it, he re
garded as his most precious treasure. s
Will is now safe at home, but whenever, witß.lt,
shudder, he thinks of Black JLake, he never for
gets to give thanks that God—who is everywhere
—walked even upon those desolate shores, and
heard his broken prayers for life, and poor little
Mads’ soul.

COEEECT THEIE MISTAKES, BBT DON’T
lABGH AT THEM
A teacher had visited an absent scholar in
the neighborhood of Whalley’s court, and on her
way had seen some dozens of children ptayin® in
the streets. ‘ °
“Do you know any of these children? Could
you briug one or two of them to school, Johnny?”'
she asked of a frank, open-hearted lad; who was
always the first to make 'acquaintance with any
little stranger who might be brought to the school.
“Yes, teacher; I know one that wants to eome
to school with me, but—bat—”
“But what?’’ asked his teacher, kindly.
“ Why, ma’am, he ain’t called Timothy nor
Samwell, and they only wants Timothys and Sam
wells.” .
A teacher who had been in the sehoo3 many
years, and boasted of “ rot being given to change,”
was in the habit of opening the school almost every
Sabbath afternoon, and month after month he of
fered the same prayer, one clause of which was
that there might be many Timothys and Samuels
in the school. . ...
Miss Marshall had a quick and keen sense of
the ludicrous, and in a moment comprehended
Johnny’s euriouS mistake; but, repressing, astrong
inclination to laugh, she said, quietly, “ Timothy
and Samuel were t_wo good boys who lived many
hundred years ago; and when Mr. Hanslee prays
that there may,-be many Timothys and Samuels
in tho school,, he ■ does not . mean boys who bear
those names, but hoys who love and serve God as
they did. After our lessons are over, I will tell
you something about one of these boys." •
After the lesson, Miss Marshall drew the little
ones around her, and in a simple,'child-like man
ner, told them something of the eiirly life of Sa

told them of the little boy who was brought bv

THE DEADDRTJMMER BOY.
The correspondent of the New York Gommer

Beguneut as follows :
THE FIBST FUNEBATj.
We had our firft tnilitafy 1 foneraT on Saturday
afternoon. " r - 7 r
The day before one of bur drummers, Joseph
Winters, was drowned while bathing! He was..a
pleasant, good boy, and his sudden a
deep impression in the eneamntno B ‘- _ His body
was brought up fro m_tb »-<*rgek and laid beneath
a new receive it, under the trees
_on*-«rtrj>6rth side of the parade ground. The men
stood in silent rows in front of the tent till sun
down, while a guard detailed for the purpose paced
slowly back and forth. A letter was found in
Joseph’s pocket from “ Cousin Lucie,” and as his
comrades thought that he had no parents or bro
thers or sisters living, his captain wrote to her.
A little bare-footed fellow, about eight years old,
stood on the land when Joseph’s body was re
covered by the divers, and when the surgeon,
promptly on the spot, was vainly endeavoring to
start the water-clogged wheels of life, the little
bare-footed fellow walked in silence up the hill
side with the men who carried the body, following
close behind; and there he stood before the tent
curtains in serious stillness. At last he spoke,
with respectful and clear, manly enunciation, to
one of the field officers:
“ Will you be so kind as to tell me, sir, whether
he was a good boy ?”
. “I believe he was, my little fellow, but I
’ did not know him very well.”
“ Has he a father or mother, sir?”
“ Why do you ask, my boy?”
“Because, I hope that he did not have a mo
ther, sir, or a father; they would feel so badly to?
hear that life was drowned/’ The officer cleared
- bis throat, and -the little fellow went on. “Audi
’if, sir, he has no mother or fatherland he was a
good boy, then I am glad.” ;
“ Why glad, my boy ? ’
“ Because, sir, I think it was ,the best time for
him to be taken, away.” •
“ Why the best time ?”
1 “Because, sir, 1 what the Lord does, is always,
best.” The'funeral sermon was preached; un
surpassed in truth, comprehension, simplicity and
beauty, and if you eould have heard the utter
ance of the 'boy] its puritv'-of'wording, l spoken ' in
such gentle intonation,’and 1 with such unmarred
accent, you would. have felt that Christ's model
presented to his disciples, of a child brought to
ministers to the present day. ’
At four o’clock, on Saturday afternoon, the
Pennsylvania band, of twenty-four pieces, in front
,of the dead boy’s tent, gently sounded forth one
■ of the sad melodies which make military funerals
peculiarly impressive; the company formed in
marching order; the escort stood with muskets
: reversed; the remaining part of tho regiment
formed in.the centre of the parade ground in face
to face columns, and the procession moved to the
slow beat of the muffled drums.
The boy was placed in a plain coffin, which was
wrapped in the Stars and Stripes, and upon it was
laid a large wreath of green leaves and wild flowers,
and so we carried him to an old burying-ground
not far distant, where the tombstones were;,all
moss-covered and inclined, where the grass was
tall and untrodden, and where the cone-sliaped
cedars stood in irregular and friendly groups.
When his body was lowered, the chaplain read.
. selections from the Bible and offered prayer, the
escort fired the military salute, the soldiers formed
again in liiie, and we left the sleeper till the
resurrection.

No veneration of relics or images in the West
can convey afiy; adequate notiou. of their vene
ration for pictures. It is thei main support and
stay of their religious faith arid Every
where, in public and in private, the sacred picture
is the consecrating element. In the corner of every
room, at the corner of every street, oyer gateways,
* in offic.es,' in steamers, in stationsjin taverns, is
the picture hung, with the lamp burning before
it. Iti domestic life it plays tho part of the family
Bible, of the wedding-gift, of tho birth-day present,
of the ancestral portrait. In the national life it
is the watchword, the flag which has-supported the
courage of generals, and roused the patriotism
of troops. A taste, a passion for pictures, not as
works of art; but*as ! eriiblems,as lessons, as instruc
tions, is tlihs engendered and multiplied in com
mon life, beyond all example elsewhere. Enter

General Fremont’s proclamation, declaring the
State of- 'Missouri nil. er martial law, confiscating
the property and- free ng the slaves of rebels in
arms against the goi eminent, is variously com
mented upon, some <>i the journals‘approving and
some condemning it,' The government itself, it is
reported, thinks the'-movoment is in advance of
the necessity of the case, and likely to embarrass
its position in the .border states. . It is quite pos
sible that the governnent takes this view of the
matter, for it has hitherto acted on a principle
entirely different frou that General Fremont in
augurates. But poll: Leal policy, in revolutionary
or insurrectionary tiihes, has to give way to the
stern realities of war. The government may now
be averse to touching any of tbo issues arising
out of the question.© slavery, but the continu
ance of the war will- lecessarily 'force them upon
it, and very little for ;cast is needed* to see, that,
from; the . nature off his quarrel, the current of
events is rapidly drill ,ing towards the extinction
of slavery. « s . •- >
We are not speitkiig of What is desirable, but
of what is if this war lrat fir any con
siderable time. Sla ery now is an element of
strength, as the ’rCbiLs; truly boast,"because they
aro able to control it is yet, and to use it for their
benefit.., The armies! of the government will not,-
however,.for any considerable time,.waste their
resources and lives sMfore rebellion thus-fortified,
when they have of turning this element
of strength into qmeiof weakness and imminent
danger to the rebefe'eausd. The more stubborn
and ilp-termined thettsnnthem dvfene&rthXfiSorc ex
asperated and resobtte wlflTbe the loyal minds to

l more ready they will be to use

have gone into the wW fo conquer a rebellion which
threatens the overthrow, of- the Republic, and just
in proportion as this iask increases in magnitude,
will they be forced either to give up the contest,
or to use the means immediately at hand to ac
complish their purposes, whether these means are
their own power and’rcsdurees, or such as may be
made available from their enemy’s.
We are but upon (he eve of important changes,
socially and politically, likely to ensue from the
present war, and no man can yet'predict what
will be the limit of these, changes, or how far they
may be beneficial to the country or to mankind.
To-day, they lead to of conbscation
of property and freedom to the slaves of rebels in
arms. To-morrow, they may go further, and de
cree universal freedom to the black, as the: only;
remedy against an infamous conspiracy to destroy
the liberties of the wjbite race, with the govern
ment which is their 'protection. No government
can control events like these when civil ,war has
once stirred depths, and waked
up a fury in the latfd,' The safety of the Souths
and of its institutions,’was. under the Constitution
which they, have rejected. They can yet save
both by submitting to ibe laws of the land.' The.
longer the war is maintained, the surer events

The same as ever. It has no new philosophy,

myself, and allow-others to do the srime—pro

This is ground eniough .on-which to base the

wear the glove instead of the shoe; to point out
the way, instead of carrying the body.
(b) The Dissatisfaction of the minority
justifies Secession —The bauds, heart, and

criminal secessionj But it matters not. The

the government which he cannot control.
2. That the father of secession, (the devil;) 1

UNION 1$ THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
The 'following, copied from the correspondence
of the Standard, an “ O- S.” paper of this city/
is an evidence of the feelings and.tendencies which
are afc work in the minds of Presbyterians on the
subject of a reunion of the two branches of the
body. ■
Respecting the reunion of the two branches of
the Presbyterian Church the writer of these, lines
has to say, he had no hand, nor voice,,nor vote in
sundering them. He was not at that time ec
clesiastically born. But he sincerely hopes he
may yet have something to do with their reunion.
His earnest prayer is that they may yet “all be
one”—rthat they may all be “ rooted and grounded
in love ” —that they may all “strive together for
the faith of the Gospel.” This poor sin-stricken
world needs .the argument that would thus be fur
nished for its conviction. It needs to feel the-power
that would thus be exercised. But such re
union will never take place until there is a will
ingness on all sides to cease front crimination and
recrimination. It will never take place, till they
who control the public mind by press and pulpit
shall “ forget the things that are behind, and reach
ing forth unto those things that are before,” shall
“ press toward the mark, for the prize of the high
calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Old School meii
must not tell their brethren of the other side, you
are all heretics and we will have nothing to do
with you, for there are many of Christ’s redeemed
ones there. And New School men must not tell
those of the other side, you must get down on
your knees and confess your terrible sins to us, for
many there do not in their hearts feel- that-they
have sinrie'd as; they arri accused. : No, this lash
ing ancl cauterizing arid proving each other in the
: -wrong from’yeairtp year does no goqd, It soothes
DO aißTmviity i- i fit.TiL.lum
nors not-Christ. Then why, dear brethren on
both sides, why keep it up? Is it not a time
when love should speak, and not anger? Suppose
wrong was done, a quarter of a century ago, to
you of the New School, or wrong was done to
yon of the Old School, which is the. most conso
nant with the spirit of the Saviour, to forgive, or
to harbor a grudge? Suppose the New School
did split and become weakened by the departure
from them of beloved brethren at Cleveland, or
suppose the. Old School did split and beeome
weakened by the departure from them of brethren
at Philadelphia, is it work worthy the ambassadors
of Christ to exult over one another, or point to
this division, or that, as the evident work of-Gcd
on this brancli of the Church, or that, for sin com-*
mitted.thirty years ago ? Verily, it does not seem
so to all.
And now if the writer might address a single
word to his revered' fathers in the ministry ( he
knows it ought to be most respectfully done—arid
so it is,) he would beg them to remember that a
vast multitude of those in both branches of the*
Church have become’ disciples of Christ since the
great battle of ’36 and ’37', arid.they neither know
nor care, very mueh about the contests of those
days. Many of them do desire* to be •nourished
and built up in the precious faith; they desire to.
be prepared for usefulness in the Church; but they,
do not and eanDot sympathize. very much in the
: quarrels of the last generation, and to them it ap
pears somewhat'worse than useless for God’s peo
‘ pie to" be tying their own hands, arid hindering
their own usefulness, and blocking up the road lo
heaven through which they ought to be hastening
last sinners ere they die, by, girding - themselves
every year'anew for the conflict arid fighting again,
tbe fierce battles of other days. They cannot feel
1 it is the work most needed-in these days of bitter
- trial of faith. When war* thunders, and blood
flows, and the shrieks Of their fathers and brothers,
dying on, the, field that treason has deluged in
gore, rend the air and rend all hearts —especially
at a time when through the machinations of the
devil the Gospel’s sound is in danger of being
hushed, and hundreds of thousands are being
hurried headlong into the jaws of death, they feel
that it is no time for the ministers of Christ to be.
warring among themselves and bitterly accusing
each other of having foul wrong
JUiCI bJ; c.g»inr>t Iniifj
their brethren,” a quarter of a century ago. Meek
and humble Christians on both sides are' sayings
“ These things do not interest nor profit us. Have
they not long enough been battled about? We.
think it would be better far if ministers and elders
would ‘follow after the things .which make for
peace, and things wherewith one may edify ano
ther.’” And are they not right about it? Is it
best to do “ anything whereby our brethren stum
ble, or are offended, or made weak?” If so, then
this everlasting, din about Old School and New
SchooLonght to be kept up. If not, so, then let
us all, in the Saviour’s name, seek in every way
possible to harmonize the children of God, that
they may stand forth a solid phalanx of Christian
soldiers, forever ready to battle the world, the
flesh, and the devil, but.never again to fight each
other.
. So sure as the spirit of Christ ever character
izes all his professed disciples, so sure will the Old
School and New School branches of the Church
become substantially one. Then “Ephraim shall
notenvy Judah, and Judah slihll not vex Ephraim."
Then shall “each esteem other bettor than them
selves.” Then'shall they of all parties “in ho
nor prefer one another.” That day is certainly,
coming. Tens of. thousands : of Christ’s hidden
ones are devoutly praying for it, whatever they
may be doing who hold the sword, of handle the
pen, or address the crowd ; and “Their Redeemer
is strong; the Lord of Hosts is his name; Tie shall
’thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give-rest
to the land." ‘
FOREIGN ITEMS.
In connexion with book-writing, there is a story
worth repeating, as having been long current in the
House of Lords, that Lord Chancellor Brougham had
said he would never die, for fear that Lord; Camp
bell, author of the Lives of the Chancellors of Eng
land, would write his life. When this was reported
to Lord Campbell, it is said he replied in jest that.he
would write Lord Brougham’s life, whether he died
or not. • And now, since Lord Campbell’s death, a
few months sineet 1 it is said to be found that each.of
these Lords had in his desk a manuscript life of the

He was on very friendly'terms pith Archbishop Cul

in Ireland, and on the Sabbath (!) he visited May

Church in Britain. While he did this, lie did

Franee.as the sword. Another pamphlet has just been
given to thepublic, and is being largely read, in which
the author most conclusively shows that Peter, the
Apostle, h%s 'never Bishop Of Rome: , that the first
Popes, regarded as profane the title of Universal Pa
triarch, and that the expressions; “Apostolic See,”
and “ Holy ; See,” were applied, not only to Rome,
but also to all clirirehes founded by the Apostles.
Of this pamphlet,, the Steele says: “ The Ultrnmon

Bead the Following Statement:
REV. RUFUS BABCOCK, D. D., Secretary of the
American and Foreign Bible Society, writes:—
“Having given Dr. D. Jayne’s medicines a trial in my
own family, and some of them personally, I do not hesi
tate to commend them as a valuable addition to our
materia medico. The EXPECTORANT.especiaIIy I con
sider of inestimable value, and I know’that it is highly
esteemed, and frequently prescribed by some of the mo it
respectable of the regular practitioners of medicine.”
Rev. B. V. R. James, Missionary in Liberia ,of the Pres.
Board of Foreign Missions, writes:—
“ Tour EXPECTORANT has been administered with
the most happy results, and I feel assured I never used
an article of medicine that produced a more sure and
certain relief for the complaints for which it is recom
mended,”
Rev. John Dowuno, D. D.", Pastor of .the Berean Bap
tist Church, N. Y., writes:—
“I have long known the virtues of your EXPECTO
RANT, and frequently tested them on myself and family,
when afflicted with coughs or colds. I believe it Ip be
one of the best remedies ever discovered for these mala
dies.”
Rev. N. M. Jones, Rector of Church of St. Bartholo
mew, (Prot. Epis.,) Philada., writes:—
“In all cases resembling Consumption, I recommend
your EXPECTORANT, having in so many cases wit
nessed its beneficial effects.”
Rev. j. J. Walsh, Missionary of the Presbyterian
Board at.Fultegurh,Northern India, writes:—
“ Your EXPECTORANT was the means, under Provi
dence, of curing a case of incipient consumption, which
had been pronounced incurable by competent medical
men.”
Rev. Jonathan Going, D. D., while President of
Granville College, Ohio, wrote:—
“While laboring under a severe Cold, Cough, and
Hoarseness, iny difficulty of breathing became so great
that I felt in imminent danger of suffocation, but was
perfectly cured on using Dr. D. Jayne’s EXPECTO
RANT.”
Miss Mary Ball, of the Protestant Episcopal Mission,
Cape Palmas, West Africa, says:—
“ In our mission families your medicines are a general
specific, and among the sick poor they enabled me to do
much good. Your EXPECTORANT has proved, of
that also of Rev. Mr. Green, two of our missionaries.’ 5
' EV. C. L. Fisher, formerly pastor of the Dell Prai
rie Wis, Baptist Church, writes:—
“A little daughter of mine, aged seven years, had
hcen afflicted for some time with Asthma and Palpita
tion of the heart, and having tried various remedies
without relief. I was persuaded to get your EXPF.C
TORANT and SANATIVE PILLS, and after using them
she was restored to a good degree of health.”
REV. SAMUEL S. DAY, Missionary of the Baptist
Board, at Nellore, India, writes:— _
«By the use of your Expectorant my Cqugh and
Sore Throat are now well. I find, occasionally, an un
pleasant sensation in my throat, as if mucus had lodged
there, but your Expectorant usually relieves it by two
or three applications.”
REV. J- R- COFFMAN, of Winfield, Tuscarawas co.,
Ohio, writes i—
.« One bottle of Jayne’s Expectorant, cured .my
daughter of Luno Fever, after having been beyond the
hope of recovery. During the attack she had a number
of She is now perfectly well.”

DISEASES OF THE SE3N,
THOUGH THE remote or primarycanses of SKIN
DISEASE may be various, as IMPURITY OF THE
BLOOD, LIVER COMPLAINT, SCROFULA, &c., &c.,
yet the immediate cause is always the same, and that is
an obstruction in the'pores of the skin, by which the
perspiration,ln its passage from the body, is arrested and
confined in and under the-skin, causing an intolerable
itching, or an eruption of Pimples, Pustules, Ringworm,
Tetter, Sait Rheum, &c. a &c. For all. these affections,
JAY NE?S- ALTERATIVE
has been found an invaluable remedy, as it removes both
the primary as well as the immediate causes—purifying
ffce Blood, curing the Liver Complaint, and effectually
eradicating Scrofula from the System; while, at the same
time, it frees the pores of their obstructing matters, and
heals the diseased surface.
