HOW GIVING AFFECTS THE HIGHER
NATURE.
Rev. W. H. Goodrich, in his tract,
"The More Blessed," (recently published
by the Presbyterian Publication Commit
tee,) says:—
Giving is a free and voluntary thing, and
enters therefore, into character and virtue,
ixt which the mere receiving has no, part.
We receive passively and almost because
we must. The hours come to us freighted
with Divine benefactions, which we could
not, if Ave would, refuse. The sun shines
for us, and the rain descends to nurtureour
harvest. The winds are our servants, and
the waves our carriers. The magic forpes
of the fire wait, and pant, and run to multi
ply our wealth. And the old earth unlocks
her hidden stores, her fuel, and her metals,
offers them to our use. All these bounties
of nature are lavished on na, and out of
them man is growing rich in power, rich in
comfort, rich in gain. And all this is mere
reception. We share in it whether we
would or no.
Itris true that men differ: in: the amount
which they receive, and that this, difference
depends often upon the willing action of
the individual; on
„his, promptness, his
energy, in short, his dapacity, as we say,
which simply means that one man can make
himself of larger contents than another;
can take in and hold more of what the Di
vine Providence is bestowing. Buit this
capacity has nothing to do with character.
It does not reveal the man to us. It gives
us some idea of his, powers, and of his men
tal reach and superfices, but it no more in
dicates the soul and character than if one
should tell us his exact height and girth in
feet and inches.
But when we come to giving we always
touch character. Giving is the-soul's act.
It must be done of a purpose; and purposes
make up the real man. He is happy, he is
blessed, not in what befalls him, nor in
what he can hold, but in what himself wills
and chooses to do Conscience was never
affected by anything which flowed into a.
man's coffers. His harvest may multiply a
hundred fold. His ventures on the sea
may return in treasures beyond all price.
Everything he touches may yield golden
gains; and - what within him takes note of
these things ? His self-complacency, 'his
pride, perhaps his gratitude. Conscience,
that deep moral sense, true arbiter of joy,
whose, approbationis the sole spring of abso
lute happiness, stands silent by. With all
this she has no concern.
But. let the, poorest soul resolve to give;
let the feeblest hand be outstretched to be
stow, and conscience speaks her calm and
regal benedictions. Giving has touched a
chord 'of happiness within' that heart which
nothing else has ever reached. ^ It has' dis=
closed a.power till then unknown. , Or, let
him on whom fortune, which is the world's
name for Providence, has been showering
her favors, let that man begin to give, notl
the mere overflowing of his abundance, but
largely and wisely, and he too finds a feun
tain of delight open to him Of which he
never drank before. A higher manhood
has_ roused itself within him. , A. nobler'
movement of his nature has begun:, 'Virtue
has gone forth from'him, and left the dis
covery of remaining power.
What an immeasurable distance in char- ,
eater, in conscious happiness, in all that
makes up earthly blessing, between that
man who is grasping all that he can hold,,
reaching out and gathering in,, or even
standing passive amid. the mercies God has
leaped around him, and that other man
who has learned freely to give, whose whole:
'soul is full of purposes of kindness, whose'
thoughts are busy in contrivances, of; ood
*rill, and whose outgoings of generosity seem;
almost to .maintain a holy emulation with
the: income' of bounty which he himself re-'
coins from •the great Giver.
The"one lives like a morass . amongthe'
highlands, ever drinking in the rains and
dews of heaven, vegetating. apart, of no
earthly good to, man, save that, by and s ly,
-its accumulations may be dug into ,anfit
burned. The other lives like a stream
from' pouring in full flow a fresh fbuntain
head.' It gathers as it goes from a thtnisand
rills and hill=aide `'springs; but it yields as
freely as'it gathers. It puts its shoulder to
the wheel of labor. It bathes the rooti'of
_trees andplants which nod and wave their
blessings on its ,banks. It waters; broad
valleys where hamlets nestle, or villages lie
scattered, or busy cities swarm. - Anct.thus
having left bless - nip all along its course, it
dies away in the glory of the great-and - open
sea:
WORDS OF CHRISTIAN WISDOM.
[We select thefollowing paragraphs froni
-"Sketches from the 'Life of Rey. John G:
.Breay" contained in Re*. tor. a Bonar's
Christian, Treasury for January.]
His skill in dealing with cases of Consci
ewe made him a peculiarly valuable ,vishor
of the sick and afflicted. , Going. one: day
into . "the house of a female member of his
flock, who was very ill; and gfeatly dis
tressed with doUbt as to her safety, lie was
saluted with these words, "It is nn, awful
thing to fall into the hands of the, living
'OW ":gently, gently," he replied not
awful, but fearful." 44 Ali," she. uid,mi.l
never can be saved." "Stop," . he-. in
mitred; "give me your text. I can do
nothing without a text. Find me a text
Jesus says he will not save Sinners."
Vainly she wandered from passage 'to fnid-
Sage, till, at last she exclaimed, " there is
not one." ." Thank God, not one," he re
peated; "the blood of Jesus Christ clean-
Seth from all sin ;" and after praying with
lier,,he left her comparatively tranquil.
Epistolatory correspondence he 'esteemed
,
au, eminent means 9f usefulness, and lost
no opportunity of dropping a word ,fot his
Master in the letters which he wrote. Let
the following specimens illustrate his views
on many points of doctrinal importance, as
te t ell as Christian experience and practical
duty.
Writing to his , own sister he_ says:
-"Assurance of anjuiterest Jesus, is by
no means necessary. The promises of the
Saviour' are the ground of our 'dependence.
I mean the' promises connected of course
with His work. He has promised to cut
„Tin AMERICAN PRFASI3YTERIAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1865
out none who come. It is for us to come,
ai yi to come exactly as we are; it is for our
divine Master to make good His word.
certainty that we have come is doubtless,
where it is the work of the Spirit of God,
truly bledsed; but the Saviour's invitation
and promise are sufficient encouragement.
He will never condemn the sinner for, want
of assurance. The ground of condemna
tion is, "Ye will not come unto me, that
ye might have life." '
To one in affliction he writes :, !!in sea
sons of sorrow, tears sometimes so dim our
eyes that it is difficultto discern our mer
cies. The means which God uses for bring
ing sinners to himself, and keeping his
people near to Him, are often mysterious;
but they are at all times the best that can
be 'adopted for answering.' their design.
And how can it be otherwise, when infinite
wisdom 'and infinite love • combine itt ar-
ranging what infinite power undertakes to
accomplish There-are, few processes of
mind more refreshing to myself than rea
soning from the past: to the future. " Be
cause Thou hast been my , help, therefore
under the shadow of Thy wings will I re
joice.". By thus . ruminating over, our mer
cies we have this ,double advantage, that
we enjoy them at the moment, And feed on
them afterwarcls." ' '
To a clerical friend he says : " With re
gard to the composition of sermons, I have
had about seventeedyears' experience,-and
find that the grand requisites are, simplicity
of intention and simplicity of dependence,
a warm heart and a holy aim. Crucify self,
if you would glorify Christ. Be willing to
appear before the people as an earthen
vessel, that owes all its value to the treasure
which is put in it from above: And as
Matthew Henry would say, "Take heed
that the liquor does not taste of the vessel."
Alas! how many make the liquor try to
taste of it; to gild and ornament the sword
of the Spirit, instead of trusting to its
native power ! What must, or what will
the people think of me, is vanity. What
do they think of Christ, is the all-absorbing
question." To a young friend he writes on
the subject of reading : "Endeavor to have
a solid reason for the selection, of books
which you make. Ask 'yourself such ques
tions as these : What is my , motive fOr
reading, or wishing to read this book? Is
it useful in its tendency ? Will it enlarge
my mind on Subjects with'ihich it is de
sirable for me "to be acquainted? Is it
likely to be worth the time which must be
bestowed on -it?-Fully satisfied on such
points, therv,eapply your rmind vigorously.
Be not anxious-to read rapidly; determine
to understand the meaning of its , author, as
you go along; if any sentiment appear to
you obscure.or qqestionable, note it. down,
and seize the first oPportunity for asking in
formation respecting it, froni those 'who are
able to instruct you.' When any - passageS
occur of a striking kind, make a marginal
pencil-mark, and after -you have finished
the book, review those p,assages,, and lay
them Up in your memory .*1 To ohsenve ac
curately, to investigate patiently, and to;
think closely, are, mental - habits of prime',
importance; for
. 45i - whit real utility is it to;
gee a' smattering of many things, and yet to i
understand none thoroughly,to liaVe read;
niany, books, and to retain
,no distinct im
pression respecting any of.them ?"
TAKING UP THE CROSS.
This matter 'of taking nithe. Cross is one,
.of vast importance. Our. blessed Saviour'
inakes it the test of discipleship—a-badge: ,
'by'whicla his true followers ale tome known.;
If any man come after" me, let him deny
himself and take up his cross and folloW
.me." • .It is 'evident from this that cross
.
bearing is soraethingthat is to distinguish
the whole body of the faithful—something
that is vital and- essential to their 'occupy
place in •the army' of the Lord. • •
And yet there:are few matters 'appertain
ipg, to the divine life, .upon which greater
mistakes are niade by professors of region.
Many make the taking up of their cross
to consist in things that-are to theta-no 'cross
at all, but rather : a matter of indulgence
and personal gratification.. • *

~W,e have heard in the prayer,
meeting a succession of entreaties from the
beginning to the end, that-the people should
-take up their cross, which was well calcu!
lated totproduce this impression. No doubt
there are "many Who" "could I speak in 'such
meetings to, edification, who, fielding to
natural timidity' are often ,silent. To such
it is, a real, pross one:, they
ought promptly to, bear forl.Christ4s sake:

It is a shame for suchto sit still and see a

their own feelings, which they might - rather

LEARNING FA,RMING.
We receive frequent inquiries from young
men about farm schools where they can
learn the practise of farming'. We do not
know of any such. And we are often
asked what we would advise a young man to
do who is anxious to become an intelligent
and thorough agriculturist—what course
We would advise him to pursue in order to
become one. We answer that we have hope
that the National Endowment of Agricul
tural Schools will.result in furnishing, such
young men with the, opportunity of getting
a theoretical, education—a knowledge of
science, natural laws, as rqlated to the dif
ferent husbandries, just as the • young law
student gets a knowledge of the theory and
science of laiv and its practice, -by attending
a law school. When we get schools where
the pupil shall be able to adapt his studies
torhis specific aim in life, a great . step, in
advance of the present facilities for obtain
ing - an , agriegitural education will have-been
reached., ' Then what would we do ?—just
what the shoemaker, or, tanner, or ,black

posed to engage' in dairying, the best dairy
man we could induce to'receive us should
instruct us, we compensating hiniiwithtottr
labor, and, if necessary,iwith an : adaitional
tuition. lf we proposed to „enter „upon
sheep husbandry, it would be 'beth 1 Capital
and time well invested if we could lindace
one of the best flock-inasferiin the el:pantry
to instruct us in the practical management
and breeding of sheep. It is the only way
we know of in which practical knOwledge
can be obtained. To be sure, the_ More we
complete our knowledge of natural laws,
affecting and governing any branch - 4
hus
bandry, the more, intelligently, will we be
able to practice the same, provided we
don't let theory govern our practice too
closely. Practical knowledge should always
be allowed to correct theoretical; the latter
should be used to render the former progres
sive, if possible. Facts, once established are
incontrovertible—stubborn.' Theory can
not resist them. Facts, it shouhl.alWays be
remembered, are the bases of science i theory
has nothing to do with science; and-yet
these terms are often confused and made
identioal in use. The farmer'iyho is go
verned in his practice by the most extended
experience, and observation of 'the relation
of facts - to each otheri is-the most seientific
farmer—no matter whether he ever read-a
scientific book or not. The breeder ~ ..sheep
or cattle who is governed in his b eeding
by laws; which his experience has ,Wrought

IRON IN THE BLOOD.
It is well known to the medical profession tha.
IRON is the VITAL PRINCIPLE or LIFE ELE
MENT of the blood. This is derived chiefly from the
food we eat; but if the food is not properly digested,
or if, from any cause whatever, the necessary quantity
of iron is not taken into the circulation, or becomes
reduced, the whole system suffers. The bad blood
will irritate the heart, will clog up the lungs, will
stupefy the brain, will obstruct the liver, and will
send its disease- producing elements to all parts of the
system, and every one will suffer in whatever organ
may be predisposed to disease.
The great value of
IRON AS A MEDICINE
is well known and acknowledged by all medical men.
The difficulty has been to obtain such a preparation of
it as will enter the circulation and assimilate at once
with the blood. This point, says Dr. Hays, Massachu
setts State Chemist, has been attained in the Peruvian
Syrup, by combination in o way before unknown.
