PEACE BY 'FAITH.
Dr. Spencer, in his " Pastor's Sketch
es,"-gives a touching account of a young
woman who suddenly obtaihed peace by
faith in Christ after a long period of
gloom. She 4ilad .clear and pungent con
victions' of.iin, felt the necessity of itn
motdM-xepnittance, and the absolute
need. of 0 . atoning Saviour to say() her
from reoridemnation. She :Seemed to
Understand her dependence:ofrho Holy
Spirit, and the danger of grieiing him,
and was earnest in her ,private devo
tions, and is constant attendance on the
means of grace. But fox., many Weeks
she made no progress. Her triehds and
companions one by one rejoiced in hope
of pardon, but she remained in deep
gloom. "ler pastor had many long,con
versations with her, but could not under
stand what obstacle hindered her conver
sion.
One evening on his way to church be
called at her house. He found her just
where she bad been for many weeks.
On leaving her he said,:
" I would aid you most willingly, if I
could, but I oan do you no good."
"I do not think you ()an," said she,
calmly, "but I hope you will still come
to see me."
" Yes, I Nell," said I, " but all I can
say is, I know there is salvation for you;
but you. must repent' and you must flee
to Christ."
On reaching the church he gave out
the hymn closing with the stanza:
,4 A guilty, weak and helpless- worm.
On thy kind arms I fall."
The next day she came to see him, to
tell him she had made a new discovery,
and on his asking her what it was, she
said:
",Why, sir,the way of salvation all
seems to me perfectly plain. My dark
ness is all gone. I see no what I nev
er saw before. All is light to.. me. I
see my way clear; and I am not bur
denid,and troubled-as7l-lifits. tdo not
know how it" - hi, or" iviiat has brought
me to it. But when you were reading
that hymn last night I Saw the whole
way of s'alvation for sinners perfectly
plain, and wondered that I had never
seen it before. I saw that I had noth
ing to do but trust in Christ—
""A guilty, weak and helpless worm,
On thy kind arms I fall."
I eat all the evening just looking at
that hymn. I did not hear your prayer.
I did not hear a word of yqur sermon.
Ido not know your text. I thought of
nothing but that hymn, and I have been
thinking of it ever since. It is so light,
- and makes me so contented. Why, sir,
don't you think that the , reason we don't get
out of darkness sooner,, is that we don't be
lieve .P"
Simple faith in Christ will always
bring peace to the soul.
TRINITY AND ELEOTION IN NATURE.
But in addition to these general anal
ogies between the incomprehensible in
Nature and Revelation, it would not be
difficult, taking up one by one the mys
terious doctrines of God's Word, to show
that each for itself is paralleled in na
ture. Indeed, "no diffilitilty," says Sir
William Hamilton '
"emerges in theolo
gy which had not previously emerged
in philosophy," This is certainly true of
thA nty, confessedly the . most incom
prlhensible of all the utterances of in
spiration. Nature has many forms,
foreekand processes which are strangely
trinal. Unity in Plurality, the point of
special mysteryin -this doctrine appears
oftentimes both in thh : l'inattirial and
mental world. Thus, among the few
element 4 or simple substances which
make• up' the globe we inhabit, some
have the singular property of appear
ing under several separate and utterly
diverse forms. One in tbeir essence,
they still manifest thernvlves—if we
may 86 speak—in several: distinct per
sonalities. Carbon is ()A :45f these Allo
tropic elements, and the forms of its
manifestations are three. The charcoal,
with which we kindle OAT fires, the
graphite or black lead used in art, and
the diamond that adorns the brow of
beauty, so utterly diverse both in ap
pearance and use, aro still in reality ono
and the same substance. They are all
carbon ; and should you take, as- every
chemist knows, precisely the same
quantity of each, and burn it in oxygen
gas, the result in each ease would be
precisely the same. Thus while this
simple element, carbon, -may in one
sense ' be said to be one, in another, it
may truthfully bo said to be three.*
The same is true of man. We cannot
better define ourselves than by the AS
sertion of a trinity. To say that we
are body, soul, spirit, is the most com
plate statement that we can give of our
bbing. Nor is this all. The simple
act of self-consciousness in its last anal
ysis, is found to be a trinal act. The
human soul, one and indivisible, is still
contemplated by us under the three-fold
division of the intellect, the sensibilities
and the will.
Some of the doctrines 'of the Bible
seem to represent God as partial in the
bestowment of spiritual blessings. This
is particularly true of that•doctrine to
whieh, in the schools of theology,
,we
apply the term election. " God, of his
mere goodness, and not out of respect,
to, arty works of their's dune or foreseen,
from all eternity elected a certain num
ber of lost men as the subjects of his
saving mercy, determined to give to
Ater?, and to them only, first effectual
grace, and finally immortal glor3r7:l
- there, is indeed nothing in this

justice of God, is clearly manifest. For
as - salvation is, in every case of
grace, never of debt, so if God sees

happiness, and to reave ~tbe remain

so left. But then why lea, any?
Why an .alection, when all were equally
in need, when the power to save all was
fully = possessed? - cannot tell.
That it is riot an'afbitraty*election, but
one that has its ground in infinite wis
dom
. we cannot indeed doubt. God
never performs a single act without
some good and wise reason. But that
reason it is impossible for us to appre:
bend. It is Christian faith only that
egablea, even to reeogni its exist
ence.
But this doctrine of Revelation, so,
beset with difficulties is yet favoind by:
all the analogies Of Nature. liicreation:
and providence we .find abundanttraces,
of precisely the same principle. In
stead of a dull uniformity.in this world,
God has made things even, of the same
kind, in an almost endless diversity'n
He has .chosen some of every class to
honor, and others to dishonor. All stars
do not shine with equal glory, nor do'
they all occupy positions of like import
ance in the universe. Some stars elect-.
ed from all eternity to be both of mo ,
tion and light the centres, the others as
their attendants simply revolve around
these and ceaselessly reflect their beams.
All vegetable life is-:not the same in
beauty and greatness. Here is the cedar,
of Lebanon, and there the hyssop • that
springs out of the wall. Here is the
filly with her gorgeous attire, and the
rose with her delicious fragrance, and
hard by springs np the weed, homely
and vile. And if from God's material
and irrational creation we turn to' man,
it is only to see still more evidentmarks
of the same truth. Indeed *hat strange
what startling contrasts do we, every
where behold in human society? All
men in their origin and final destiny
alike, the difference that God -has, yet
of his own free will, chosen Ito „make
among them in this life,ls almost in
credible. Genius walks by the side of
the witless. Knowledge sojourns beside
ignorance. Wealth is but a span from.
poverty. Luxury that sickens with its
own pomp is within sight of-destitu
tion, which grows pale with famine.'
Men, erect and beautiful, and with every
muscle and limb obedient to the will,
go band in hand with the decrepid and
the maimed. And the merry peals of
health stir the same atmosphere that
continually sobs with the sighings of
the sick. In one word, there is an elec
tion in Nature. God has his chosen
ones, amongst stars and flowers and
trees, and amongst• men too in their
earthly conditions and relations. Why
then should he not have the same 'in
the bestowment of the grace 'of salva

Presbyterian and Theological Review.
REMORSE OF DYING INFIDELS.
John Wilmot, Lord Rochester, was
an accomplished nobleman and a favor
ite of Charles 11. He became dissolute,
a votary to the wine cup and to sen
sual pleasure, and a defender of infidelity.
He confessed to Dr. Burnet, that, for
five years, his dissipation was so excess
sive that he was at no time master of
himself. The age of thirty-one found
him with his physical, powers , ruined,
and his prospects of life , precarious.
His infidel 'Principles forsook him, and
trembling in view of future phnishment,
he, turned , penitently to God. During
his protracted illness, he published a
confession of his errors, declaring that
"he left to the world this last declara
.
tion, which he delivered inthe presence
of the great God,who knows the seerets of
all hearts,
,and before 'whom he was pre
paring to be judged, that, from the bot
tom of his soul, he detested and abhorred
the whole coarse of his former wicked
life." " 0 remember," he said to a
friend who visited him on his. death
bed," "that you contemn God no more.
He is an avenging God, and will visit
you for your sins, and will, I hope,
touch your conscience sooner or later,
as he has done mine. You and I have
been friends and sinners together as
great while, and, therefore, 1 am the
more free with you. 'We have been all
mistaken in cur conceits and opinions;
our persuasions' have been false and
groundless. Therefore, God grant you
repentance." _
" 1 am abandoned by God and man !"
exclaimed Voltaire in his sickness.
After. a long exile, he had returned to,
Paris in triumph. His name was the'
signal• for enthusiasm. He had even
feared that he should expire amid the
acclamation which hispresence called
forth at the •theatre. But neither the
shout of the populace, nor the assurance
of his atheistical friends, 'could stay his
faith on his own philosphy in the pros
pect of the coming judgment. He re
nounced his opinions, but died ,in the
expectation of future retribution.
" Guenard* has said it Guenard has
said it!" mournfully said Cardinal Ma
zarin, alluding to the declaration of his
physician that he must die. He was
heard tnexclaim, "Oh, my peer soul,
what will become of thee ? Whither
wilt thou go !" To the queen-dowager
of France he said, "Madame, your fa
vors have-,undone me. Were . I to live
again, I would be a 'monk rather than a
courtier." Such were the sober reflec
tions of an ecclesiastic whose bouadless
ambition had overruled his sense .of
moral obligations and whose:adroit
policy had virtually placed in his hands
the sceptre of. France. But Mazarin,
though awakened to his situation, was
too much joined to his politics and plea
sures to tarn manfully to -religion.
Cards were one of his last amusements;
and when dying, be ordired himself to
be roughed and dressed, that he might
receive the flattery of his courtiers on
his apparent recovery.
There are hours of sober thought, and
times of imminent peril, when the soul
seems to fbrecast the dying hour—when
ifstarts at the view of its COLISCiOUB er
rors, and utters, as &gm dying lips, its
'thzittled dorivictions. - Hobbes wLissubject

to dispose of, he would give it for a sin

claration 'that he was taking a leap in
the dark. Paine, in his last sickne•=s,
would cry out with affright if left alone
night or day.
Volney, after deriding religion ? while
sailing on Lake Ontario, was thrown
into a state of consternation very in
consistent w . ..th his philosophy, as
sudden storm exposed him to imminent
peril. Shelley, during a storm at . sea,
was stupefied -with terror ; and when

I'NEUMATIO ; RAILWAYS IN LONDON.
The .pneumatic principle—using air
as a rantor—han recently been applied
in 'London to railway purposes on a
laiie . BCEllo. The first pneumatic rail-
Way experiment on this prinoiple, was
'a small underground lipe, about three
•feet in -diameter, for carrying mails and
•parcels., which has been in operation
from the Easton (London and 1 - orth-,
western) Railway terminus to the
Northwest. District Post-office, in the,
northwest
art of London. This has
been in `successful operatiOn, Carrying
- the mails twenty or thirty times a day,
for over a year and a half. Subse
quently, a line for goodi and mails,
about five feet in diameter, has been
built under the streets, like the smaller
one, to carry the mails to and ; froni the
general post office, and thatis soon to
be opened. This line, besides carrying
the Landon mails between the. post
office and the railway, will transport
onethousand tons of goods a day be
tween the heart of the city and a
suburban railway station, and all
through .a single cast iron tube, and
with one stationary engine. Two weeks
since a •passeriger line, was opened.
This, as described by a correspondent,
is about six hundred yards—say a third
of a mile—in the Crystal Palace Park,
'and is between ten and eleven feet in
diameter—and will take in 'a Great
Western (broad-gauge) train, and trans
port it from one. end to the other. The
line 'has been purpogely constructed
With — till" the idisadvantages that any
railway' is liable to=-neither straight
nor level, but with a very short curve
and up a steeper incline (ones foot in fif
teen) than is practicable: for ' any locomo
tive to work. The trains are blown
through in one directlon, and then suck
ed back on-their return, the power
working equally well in each direction.
The process by which the 'trains are
moved is thus specifically described:
The process is precisely the same as
that of a boy sucking a pea or a bullet
through a hollows reed. The train
stands at the further end of the tunnel
or tubes; a quarter of a mile from the
pneumatic machine. Then the air .is
sucked by • this powerful apparatus out
of the.tunnel. Of course, as the air is
gradually blown out—the other end of
the tube being closed by the train—the
atmosphere becomes rarified, or attenu
ated, and this'process goes on a second
or two till the air in the tunnel is made
thinner-rarified—by about one per
cent. and the pressure of the surround
ing atmOsphere outside (equal to four
teen pounds to the square inch) then
presses or drives the train into the tun
nel, and• the sucking.process going on
nll the time;the•ti-ain runs its third of
a mile in some forty-eight or fifty see
onds--eighteen to twenty miles an hour.
On lines of any length fifty miles an
hour will be attained with ease.
The carriage is lighted by lamps that
give a brilliant light; and, having none
of the gases or smoke or the heavy jolt,
irtg that attends the passage of a loco
motive in a tunnel, the passengers glide
along with the most luxurious ease im
aginable. The ventilation of course is
perfect, the whole train being swept by
a gale of pure atmospheric; air. every
time a train passes.
This solves the problem of under
around railways fully, 'and Parliament
is to be applied to this winter for power
to build several lines under liondott--
one to go under Oxford street to the
Bank, from the West End. This inven
tion gives Sou the way to solve the
great-,problem of eity. r trafrtc in New
York: A piten inati c ' railway under`
Broadway is entirely feasible; and can
be made at once the cheapest, most com
fortable and most rapid mode of transit
from one end of New York island to the
other. .• .
The first:year. oritwo of the rebellion
showed the Union cavalry to be greatly
inferior` to thatof.' the rebels, and our
artillery despaired of rivalling the reb
el. 4. in this arm` of the Ae.rvice. For
some time they did not think it worth
while to attempt it. The Northern roads
are good, and our population is too busy
and economical to waste much time in
the saddle, but prefer, driving where
they cannot secure the steam horse.
The Southerner learns to sit in the sad
dle as soon as he can walk, and on this
account it was easier for the South at
once to raise cavalry regiments than for
us. They did, and their teasi6g raids
were just suffieient stimulus to make
our commanders sot their wits to work
to form by slow degrees a compact and
reliable body of horses. And while •our
cavalry is stronger than over, the rebel
horses have utterly given out, and in
every charge where cavalry can be em
ployed, our men appear to ride over and
trample dociii rebel horses and their
riders, and drive them off the field. It
is not that Southerners do not know
how to ride, but that our cavalry haVe
been properly trained and mounted, and
aro now well officered. They have been
improving while the rebel cavalry has
been growing less effective; because
their sUpply_of horses has given out.
TheSoutb had depended upon Kentucky
and Vennesseefot horses r and Kentucky
OUR CAVALRY.
and Tennessee are now in our possession
and not in theirs. Texas might have
helped them, but the Mississippi river
lies between.
During the last winter, the want of
food destroyed or ran down most of the
rebel horses, and the care of our officers
prevented them replenishing from ours.
This is one' great source of their weak
ness. But , a still greater'.' and More
comprelienfdve cause of this sudden and
hopeless breaking down of the right arm
of the rebellion is that want of care and
forethought which the preservation of a.
cavalry force requires, to keep it up.
The South has been a , great country for
buying horses, but never - for taking
care of them. The last census shows
that, while: the horses of. tneT.l..nited ,
States had increased from four ; to six.
Millions,.the Southern States had not
multiplied their horses, and hardly pre.
served their own numbers.'- Alabama
had 128,000 horses in 1550, and only
127,000 in 1866. ' - Virginis is the only
State east of-th'e - IfisSissippi, now in the
rebellion, whicli in 1860 had 200,000
horses; While Illinois in 1850, had 267,-
000, but in 1860, 575,000, Ohio had in
creased from four to six hundred thous
and, and Pennsylvania from one to four.
A «Southern man rides a horse down
withoUt mercy, and, when down, knows
not how to recruit him by care and food
and rest and bring him round.
Bat besides this,the SoUthern cavalry
are so essentially irregular in their
training and habits, 'that the steady
discipline of the North now entirely
defeats it. In history, the irregular
cavalry of the East was always victori:
ous, until the Turks, whose horses were
inferior, and whose horsemen had to be
trained, trusted to discipline and order.
Bat from the time when Alexander the
Great, in his battle with the Persians at
Arbele, made his celebrated charge at
the head of his Macedonian horse, cav
alry generals haVe been felt to be of
the highest importance in the critical
moment of war.
_
It was his superiority in cavalry
which enabled Hanibal to hold out for
sixteen years in Italy against the whole
power of the *mans, who were never
good horsemen.. 'And when Hanibal's
cavalry gaye way,,ltaly could no longer
be retained by him It will, we believe,
prove so now in regard to the rebels;
in exact proportihn as their cavalry
gives way their !power goes. They
;
cannot secure sup ' lies nor take advant
age of critical mvements, nor follow
up successes when attained. The vie-`
tories of Sheridanfthe noble attacks of
our own Gregg, •are now telling most
decisively upon the. South.—Phitadeiphia,
Ledger.
SAVE THE LEAVES.
"R. J. IL" writ that an old gentle
man a neighbor off his , who has a large
garden, said to h'm : "I don't know
what on 'airth to o with these pesky
leaves, they kive up everything, and
make things look finder shiftless." Ac
cording to our o h 'servation there ate
l it
many others who'ave not yet learned
the value of leave . In their desire to
keep the garden a, d grounds Beat; they
i .
put the fallen lea es out of sight with
out a thought of t e value of what they
are throwing awa : Leaves are useful
in two ways; in their entire state, as
mulch, and' decomposed as manure.
Leaves are the natural mulch. Go into
the wooks in autumn and look under
the leaves and you will find various
seeds sprouting . under them and getting
a sufficient' start to enable -them to win
ter under this genial covering, and
break into vigorous growth with the re
turn of spring. The beautiful wild flow
ers, which die out when taken -to the
garden, are in the woods nicely tucked
up under a coverlet of leaves ; they
sleep warm and awake strong and re
freshed. There is no hetter wtnter cov
ering for a strawberry bed, and for
-herbaceous plants generally, than a
good coating of leaves. The great diffi
culty is, they wilt blow away.. Tnis
may be prevented by laying brush upon
them, or giving them a light sprinkling
of soil. Plants pfOteeted in this way
have a covering which will ward off the
injurious effects of sudden changes of
temperature, but will not pack so close
ly as to endanger the health of the plant.
Decomposed leaves are valuable, and , in
the form of leaf mould are considered
'chief fertilizers. Agide from the purely
vegetable matter .they
.contain, the
leaves,have also-a great deal of Mine,ral
matter which is deposited in them. du
-ring :the constant evaporation! that is
carried on 'daring the growing, season.
This mineralis iu just that finely diviii.
.ed and oluble State which makes, it
ready to be again taken up by other
plants. The leaves of trees when hurri
ed, give from ten to thirty per cent.
more ashes than the wood of the' same
tree. It will be seen'that leaves are' of
the highest value in the compost heap,
the barn-yard, and the.pig-stye, and he
who neglects to save -them •disregards
the source of fertility which nature is
kindly offering him. Even thus early
in autumn many leaves will fall, and
the collection should be begun and con
tinned, and any place, large or' small,
will find a well sheltered pile,of leaves
valuable to draw upon for mulch, for
winter. covering, sad for use in equal
proportion with manure in hot-beds.
Those not needed for these purposes
may add to the richness of the manure
heap. By all means save the leaVes.--

I have known Hoofland's German Bitters faimrabk
for a number of years. I have used them in my own
family; and have been so pleased with their effects that
I was induced to recommend them to many others. and
know that they have operated in a strikingly beneficial
manner. I take great pleasure in thus publicly pro
claiming this feet, and calling the attention of them af
flicted with the diseases for which they are recommend
ed, to these Bitters, knowing from experience that my
recommendation will be sustained. I do this more
cheerfully as Hoofland's Bitters is intended to benefit
the afflicted, and is " not a rum drink."

I do this more readily in regard to Hootland's German
Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, of this city,
because I was prejudiced against them for many years,
under the impression that they were chiefly an aim

Shoemaker, Esq., for the removal of this prejudice by
proper tests, and for encouragement to try them. wheat

heard from them the- Most flattering testimonials as to
their great value.- In cases of general debility, I believe
it to be a tonic that cannot, be surpassed.
