fields, far from all the helps of civilized

a large wagon well filled, and prepare

My oxen are fresh—some of them not
than half trained. The driver and
with Zulu boys engaged to aid in

and quite as uncivilized as the wildest
le oxen. Having 'inspanned,' and

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

THE ZULUS TAILING SNUFF
" Of boxes carrying snuff they have a
It variety. Some are made of hollow

" 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--

hen he is tired, sleepy or lazy, when he

ith which to amuse or to occupy himself; as

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

;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

stimulated by this operation, is often

srtinticity. The subject of it is lost

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.

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."

now offered by the Government. and it is confidently
expected that its superior advantages will make it the
GREAT POPULAIt LOAN OF THE PEOPLE;
Less than $50,000,000 remain unsold, which will pro
bably be disposed of within the next 14 days, when
the notes will undoubtedly command a premium, as
has uniformly been the case on closing the subscrip
tions to other Loans. After the exhaustion of this
first issue the sale will continue upon a new issue in
which the privilege of convertibility will not occur at
so early a date as in this now on the market.
In order that citizens of every town and sections of
the country may be afforded facilities for taking the
loan, the National Banks, State Ban and Private
Rankers throughout the country have generally
agreed to receive subscriptions at par. Subscribers
will select their own agents, in whom they have con
fidence, and who only are to be resposible for the de
livery of the notes for which they receive orders.
