Land ; or, Life among Zulu-Kafirs and Zulu-Land, South America, Lewis Grout, is an interesting embodying much valuable informa regard to the early discovery, geo d features, climate, productions, and of South Africa. It is also finely with engravings, representing Ines of much interest. FINDING A STATION following is an amusing description n out to find a station. Let it be lad that an African wagon is about is a small canal boat, and is drawn pairs of oxen. _ aiming to Umlaze, where, of late, I peen making my abode, I procure a and even engage a diver and leader, up such tools and other effects as I require to . erect a house in the wild fields, far from all the helps of civilized 7.0 and spade, saw .and . aiigur, - ham and chisel, glass an nails, grindstone vice, food and- clothing, bedding and a large wagon well filled, and prepare .t. My oxen are fresh—some of them not than half trained. The driver and with Zulu boys engaged to aid in nterprise before us, are as well nigh as and quite as uncivilized as the wildest le oxen. Having 'inspanned,' and ;ht the oxen and wagon inte all due lung relations after the ordinary Dutch Zulu fashion, the driver takes his stand 'ie front of his wagon, and gives his mam whip a crack, shouts to the leader in Hamba ;' to the oxen in Dutch, ..tp;' and the whole establishment begins ince to trek.' After advancing a few rods, we must 3nd a long hill, the driver has forgotten it s op arid chain the wheel; the wagon ins to crowd heavy upon the wheel 1, and they upon the next in front; now tre on the trot, then all on the gallop ; i some have taken fright at the rattle of wagon, and begin to bellow, and pre ly all are racing down hill at the top of it speed, and the wagon follows; driver leader meantime shouting to their in, now in Dutch, now in Zulu, and now something else, to stop and go steady; ile the anxious proprietor, attracted by tumult to the top of the hill, stands ,ehing the progress of the lively opera , and expecting every moment to see wagon and all in it dashed to pieces. driver and leader, finding it impossible stay the downward, rushing course of nts, give themselves up wisely, to keep team straight, and finally fetch up in plain below, the oxen on all their legs, wagon on its wheels, and with only a articles broken beyond repair." THE ZULUS TAILING SNUFF " Of boxes carrying snuff they have a It variety. Some are made of hollow L, some of a small gourd, some are fight from the_horn of a bufiajo., The n is lintig . to the n - Tak — , the feed gene- Italy carried In the ear, the gourd•is a little `ack tied to the girdle of their lions. " Then comes the spoon with which the ative is to carry his snuff from his box, or 'rather from the hollow of .his hand, to his nostrils. This is made of ivory or of bone, and carried sometimes in the ear, or some times stuck in the hair or under the head bring, for which the three or four-tined dandle is well fitted. " The general rule for taking snuff isL-- s to time, when one man meets another, hen he is tired, sleepy or lazy, when he in afford it, and when he has nothing else ith which to amuse or to occupy himself; as 1 amount, until it makes the tears come in is eyes; as to manner, as follows :—Call his comrades around him, or meeting I . iends on. the road, he.takes a seat with em on the ground ; after a little banter- g as to who shall furnish the snuff, he kes out his ca.la' h, horn, or reed, picks out the stopper, p; a pile into his left hand, from which, having first supplied the est, be fills his own spoon, applies it to his nose and begins to inhale. If tears delay to come, he opens his mouth, yawns; at the same time draws the ends of his little fingers from his eyes downward, as if to give the tears a start and make a channel for them. These beginning to flow, his enjoyment is complete, nor could he be in duced by any ordinary consideration to move from his seat until this absorbing matter is quite finished " SMOKING AMONG THE ZULUS " A like institution with the Zulu is the pipe. This, too, has, something of a social, though most degrading influence. The pipe consists of a horn, a bowl, and a reed by which the two are united. The home ade earthen bowl has a hole in the bottom, y which it is fitted to one end' of a reed, he other end being inserted into the side of a large horn, iy;u7lll, at an angle of about hirty degrees, ten or tvrelve inches from he larger end; the reed running down into the little end. so as to carry the smoke•l Irough a quantity of water, as in the East " hokah," before it enters the mouth of ,er. Ihe most popular horn for this is that of the kudu, Umgakha, a to species of the antelope, found in :r parts of Zulu-land. The horn I two-fold advantage of a long body, mall orifice at the butt, where the is applied, as to a trumpet,, to re- .e smoke. bowl having been filled with the I ;nd seeds of the isanya, with which may be mixed, the smokers take at upon the ground in a circle, pass sted pipe from one to another, and ;ay at it by turns, until either its are exhausted or the party is over :upefied, intoxicated, maddened by ;cotic fumes. The profuse flow of stimulated by this operation, is often off by a long reed inserted in one )f the mouth, while the pipe is ap the other. The habit of smoking an, though most destructive to mind ly, once formed, is followed with srtinticity. The subject of it is lost ;W control and all good influences, ; his business, and becomes the slave lesotting horn."--Rochx.§ter Demo; SAUL OF T -IRSUS AND. LUTHER. Saul, the Pharisee, and Luther, the Austin friar, form a pair. The sophists ' at whose feet Luther sat and studied his divinity, were very dexterous in the art of ' weaving veils, not only for Moses and the prophets, but also for Christ and his apos tles, in order to conceal both the splendor of the law and the comforting of the gospel, and thus to place in advantageous relief the bright shining qualities of the natural man. But for all that, Luther came under anguish of sin by the terrors of the law; _ the lightning-conductors fabricated by the " idle" scholastics to ward off its strokes did not shield him. As Saul at Jerusalem was intent on gaining merit - by the diligent keeping of the Jewish ordinances, or pacify ing the accusations of conscience by legal acts of devotion and self-sacrifice, so Luther, in the monastery at Erfurt. Therefore, after Christ had shined into both their hearts Luther learnt so thoroughly to un derstand Paul, that, unawed by the opposi tion of Romish pharisees and scribes— strutting along against him with proofs, wherewith -he him Self, as monk; had en deavoured in vain to pacify his alarmed soul—he went on bodily to exalt Christ's blood and righteousness as the only remedy and refuge for sinners. "If there was ever any man," he could say, after the manner of Paul, (Acts xxii. 3, etc.; Phil. iii. 4-6), " who hellin repute the Pope's ordinances, and was zealous for the traditions- of our fathers, it was I, who have heartily defend ed and looked upon them as holy relics, and upon their observance as indeed necessary to salvation; yea, to keep them inviolate I have tormented my body -with fasting, watching, prayer, and other exercises, more than all who are mine enemies and persecu tors; for I thought in this wise to satisfy the law, and shield my conscience from the rod of the oppressor. Yet it availed me naught; yea, the further I proceeded in this way the more terrified I grew, so that I had nigh despaired, had not Christ mer cifully looked upon me, and enlightened my heart by the light of his gospel." - And when Paul "testified" to his coun trymen "the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses and out of the prophets," (Acts xxviii. 23, etc.,) what else did he do but convince his blind brethren, that, though living under the law, they were as he him self had once been, " alive without 'the law ;" that with all their boast of the law, they mistook and denied the power of it ? Ever and anon, during his - unwearied apos tolic labors,, would his fomer life as Phari see come -fresh to his memory. Made him self a 'true Israelite, who, " through the law," had become dead to the law," (Gal. 19,) he still, in his " kinsmen according to the flesh," had to re-taste over and over again, to the very dregs, the enmity,of false Israelites, Who, under the law,lived With out the law. But the Church has now, it the apostolic teaching of this former Phari ' - see to enjoy the fruit of that seed which fell into such deeply-furrowed soil. The very first sermon St. Luke has recorded of him, (at Antioch in Pisidia,) how beauti fully clear is its evangelical tone ! "Be it known unto you, therefore, men and brethiiii; iliattEifoirgh - flifg Ran ria preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: and by Him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses," (Acts xiii. 38, 39); and in the Romans he sums up the preach ing of the faith in this short sentence, " Christ is the end of the law for righteous ness to every one that believeth " (Rom. x. 4.) Gamaliel, Saul's teacher, is celebrated to this day among the Jews as the author of a terrible prayer of theirs against Jesus of Nazareth. Who made Saul to differ ? The persecutor of Jesus in his people knew no other cause of his salvation than simply God's mercy in Christ. " Saul would not die, but his whole soul was bent To satisfy the law, and thereby live. He scorn' d the thoughts that God's laws should be meant To kill, instead of righteousness togiVe ; Yea, and the more he bad its smart to feel, The more he grew beyond his peees in zeal —Besser. THE PLACE OF THE SERMON IN PUB LIC WORSHIP. Worship, strictly speaking, is between the individual soul, or the Christian As sembly, and the Most High. I t is not an interchange of sentiment between man and man, nor an instruction of man by man; it is the adoring homage paid by man to his .Creator. Both in public and in private, there may be worship without preaching or even reading. On the other hand, theie may be reading or preaching without wor ship; and there may be occasions on which it is expedient and profitable to have either the one or the other apart. Nevertheless, the connection between the two is so close, that they are practically indissoluble, and there are abundant grounds, both in Scrip ture and in the precedents of eighteen Christian centuries, for their association. Christianity is pre-eminently the religion of love—of the feelings; but it is equally distinguished from all false religions by being the religion of light—of the intellect. The fundamental relation of the sermon to the worship of the congregation is, there fore plain. It is part of that " preparation of the heart," by which the emotions, puri fied from the grossness of superstition, and enlar g ed and. elevated by knowledge, be come the best and highest expression of man's whole nature. It tends to secure that worship shall be not merely of the feelings but of the understanding, not of fered up to an unknown God, but to One on whose face, to speak reverently, the lamp of Scripture, held in the hand of the preacher, has thrown revealing light. Strong feeling, unless it is mere exaggerated senti ment, is the child of knowledge, the hand maid of truth; and as the- preacher passes from attribute to attribute of the Divine character, from manifestation to manifesta tion of the Divine power and goodness, he suggests at each step new cause for adora tion, gratitude, and praise . . Preaching is thus, as Edward Irving calls it, the " food and nourishment" of all other parts of Di vine worship. To exalt it too highly is im possible. It is the " royal ordinance of the -kingdom." The Reformers and the Puri tans did not err in attaching to it unboun THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1865. _ded importance. "Here," says the divine just quoted, addressing the Christian min ister, " put forth all thy knowledge, all thy wisdom, all thy strength of manhood, with all the gifts and graces of the Divine na ture. Take thy liberty; occupy thy com mission; beat down the enemies of the Lord; wound and heal; break down, and build up again. Be of no school; give heed to none of their rules and canons. Take thy liberty; be fettered by no times, ac commodate no man's conveniency, spare no man's prejudice, yield to no man's inclina tions, though thou should scatter all thy friends ' and rejoice all thine enemies. Preach the gospel I not the gospel of the last age, or of this age, but the everlasting gospel; not Christ crucified merely, but Christ risen; not Christ risen merely, but Christ present in the spirit, and Christ to be again present in person. Dost thou take heed to what I say? Preach thy Lord in humiliation, and thy Lord in exultation; and not Christ only, but the Father, the' will of the. Father. Keep not thy people banqueting, but bring them out to do battle. for the glory of Cod, and of His Church;: to which end thou shalt need to preach them the Holy Ghost, who is the strength of battle." When we say that the sermon ought to be part of the preparation of the heart for worshipping God, we do not circumscribe or confine it. On the contrary, we open up a field as wide as the Scriptures of truth and the conscience.-of man, on which the preacher may expatiate. And, since it is a preliminary, an accompaniment, an aid, of worship, rather than worship itself, the ser mon admits of greater latitude in thought offensive, excessive or unnatural forms, which have, of course, reacted on their ori ginating error, but which were not them selves originative. The Congregationalists and Baptists of England have given scope to Congregational liberty in the forms of worship, but they have not, therefore, be come unsound in the faith. The great Presbyterian Church of America has en joyed a similar freedom,.but the Presbyte rians of America are sound in the faith. We maintain that restriction in these points is a mere modern usage, which cannot plead a prescription of two centuries. We saw that the Presbyterian Directory states great general principles on the subj ectof worship. If we turn to the writings of Calvin, we find them here, as in all other instances, as large as the scone of Divime truth and the right sympathies of the human heart. In the New Testament we have principles,— clear enunciation of principles,—but no de finition of forms. We hold by the old Presbyterian position; that Scripture ought to be obeyed in respect of worship as well as of doctrine; but the New Testament ob serves silericean inspired silence—on the forms of public worship.—Pvter : Bayne.' s. Weekl,y Review. Late on ; Saturday night a noise of wrang ling and fighting was heard near the manse gate. It was a. clear, moonlight night, and the ground covered with snow. Mr. Story, who was sittin g by the fire in his dressing gown and slippers, started up and went to the window. A crowd, and two men fight ing, were distinctly visible in the bright moonlight. Out he rushed, the dressing gown flying behind him like John Gilpin's cloak, and in a moment was in the thick of the fray, and attempting to seize a combat ant with each hand. One he did succeed in collaring. Him he handed over to a by stander to be kept in retentis while he gave chase to the other, who had made off. It was a fruitless pursuit, however; he had effected his escape, and the whole company of assembled villagers, two minutes before spectators of the heady fight, had vanished as quickly and utterly as did Homer's in terposing deities of old upon the plains of Troy. When the minister returned the scene of of the battle, no one was on - the ground except the big man he had caught, and the . little man who - held him. The former, who was what Dr. Carlyle calls '• somewhat disguised,"- begged with many elaborate bows, permission to put on hls coat and de part in peace, which, accordingly, he was allowed to do. Next day,. before pronouncing the bone diction, Mr. Story said that a very disgrace ful scene had occurred last night at his gate. and that he desired those who had taken .part in it should come to the manse after service. "Do you really imagine that they will come?" one of his hearers. asked very incredulously. "I am sure they will," he said, "but not till ail the rest are out of sight."' When the coast was quite clear, accordingly, the captive of the previous evening and his unknown an tagonist duly made their appearance. The result of this interview with them was, that they -promised not to touch whisky for a twelve-month, - which promise he had every reason to believe. they kept. He was in the habit, if he saw a light in the village tavern on his return late at night from his perambulations in the parish, of going in and dismissing the company. "No one in Roseneath," he used to say, "drunk or sober, would injure me ;" nor did ever any attempt resistance. Whenever he en tered, there was a universal scuffle at the back door and window for the privilege of being first out of sight.—Life of Rev. Robe, t Story. I never suffered myself to criticise it, but acted upon the uniform principle of en deavouring to obtain from what I heard all the edification it afforded. This is a principle I would warmly recommend to my young friends in the present day; for nothing can be more mischievous than for learners to turn teachers, and young hearers, critics. lam persuaded it is often .the means of drying up the waters of life in the soul; and sure I am that an exact method of weighing words and balancing doctrines which we hear, is a miserable ex change for tenderness of spiritand the dew of heaven.—J. J. Gurney. GRAMIdAit is learned from language more easily than language from grammar; criticism from works of art more easily than works of art from criticism A SCOTCH .WORTHY, CRITICISING PREACHING. A LONG SHOT AND A GOOD ONE. There has been some good gunnery since the war began, but we have heard of no single shot equal to one fired last week by Captain Wise, of the Ordinance Bureau. Sir William Armstrong, the inventor of the celebrated cannon bearing his name, wrote to our Navy Department urging the adop tion of his guns, and citing,the example of France and Russia. He got a shot in re turn that will sufficiently convince him of Yankee long range. Captain Wise acknowl edged his letter, and intimated that the Armstrong guns recently captured at Fort Fisher from the rebels would afford our Government the means of testing their efficiency! It is stated that these guns bear an inscription to the effect that they were presented by Sir William Armstrong to - Jefferson Davis. Whether this state ment is true or not, the case is the same for there they were, in rebel hands, arid the in ventor and maker stands convicted of hos tility' and impertinence. It is funny, too, to think how Sir William- has managed to introduce hia guns to us without its costing us anythin g , and to see him - floored, as it were, by the kick of his own cannon. It would have been a fine thing if he could have got both parties in this country pep pering each other with his guns, while he stood, like the sailor, impartially interested, alternately praying, " Good Lord" and "Good Devil." VALUE ;OF PRAYER. The following good illustration is told of Dr. Nettleton's sense of the absolute need of prayer, as a preparation for the Divine blessing on his labors :-- "The celebrated, but Qomewhat eccentric, Dr. Nettleton, when the minister was a young man, came to a town in New Eng land where he resided. He had been in vited to preach there. He found the church almost prayerless, and was on the point of leaving, when one of the members said to him; "My wife has been praying almost.constantly since you came here for a blessing upon your labors" "Then," said Dr. Nettleton, "P 11 stay." He did stay, and .a blessed revival was the -result. Let prayerless hearers take heed how they hear.-. The more prayer there is, the less fault finding there is, the less fault-finding there will be. UNDER THE SHADOW OF THY WINGS. Tears, desires, convictions avail but little —you must be - "gathered to Christ, even as a ;hen .gathereth her,brood under her wings."_ „There is safety only there; and all that you can do outside the wing will never 'give you rest, pealli and joy—the things that your soul lagMr: 'Until you come to that, it all, goes for nothing, soon to rise up in judgment against you. And, if you say, " But I cannot do that; it re quires a Divine, power," those who speak in that way are Vut too often merely play ing with the thing. We need not go into these babblements about doctrine—about the power of the will, and so on—Christ still says, " I will have -gathered you, but you would not ;" and the same heart that melted over Jerusalem will say, " Depart from me." gtiving Battino.
