THE POWER OF THE RESURRECTION ,
" I mention such objections as these,
brethren, not that' I suppose you • to have
beeri.,reoV- disturbed by such cavils, but
that I am too well aware that imagination,
wayward on all snbjects is peculiarly in
t o rdsitentild dangerous in everything that
regards this. I trust and believe that your
own hopes are fixed upon too firm`a ground'
to be unsettled by any of these impatient
questionings • that in a matter such as this
you feel that if He alone can assure iis,yet
Etia Word is' issurance.ainple and sufficient,
' Who . „oaine from the bosom of God le tell us
the wondrous, secret of our
. spiritual and
bodily ininiortality. But this once be
lieved, who can believe it, and not acknow-,
ledge that it alters the whole complexion of
his existence; that he has sprung - with one'
bound from dust to angels that he stands
on the great platform of immortal natures,
can see below him the whole universe,
above him nothing, buthis God ? - Shall we
not then awake, and know ourselves the
immortals that we are ? This world is but
the womb of eternity. The Father,. who
has regeneratedihasmenerated thatlae may
immortalize. Sooner alkali he yield his
neavenly throne, than hold it and forsake
us ;- sooner shall God be no longer God,
than • the children of God' fail, to be the
children of the resurrection: Beheld Iwe
stand alone in, ,creation, earth, sea, and
sky, can show nothing so awful as we are !
The rooted hills shall flee before the fiery
glance of the Almighty Judge; the moun
tains shall become dust, the ocean a vapor ;
the very stars of heaven shall fade and fall
as the fig-tree casts hernntimely fruit! yea,
' heaven and earth shall pass away :' but
the humblest, poorest, lowliest among us is
born forundying life. Amid all the terrors
of.dissolvine' ' - nature, the band of immortals
shall stand before their Judge. He has
made you to:be sharers of his own eternity;
the most incomprehensible; of his attributes
is permitted in its measure to be, yours.
Alone in a world of weak and fading forms
—with all perishable, even to the inmost
folds of the fleshy garment that invests you
—with the very beauty of nature depen
dent on its revolutions, its order the ofdet
of successive evanescence, its ( constancy the
constancy of change—amid all this mourn
ful.scenery of death you alone , are death
less. In the lapse of millions of ages hence,
for aught we .can tell, it may be the purpose
of God that all this outwit'il - Viable uni
verse shall gradually give place to some
new creation ; that other planets shall cir
cle other suns; tfat unhetCrd.ct forms of
animated existence shall crowd all the
chambers of the • sensitive universe with
forms of life unlike all that we can dream ;
that in slow progression, the immense cycle.
of our present system of nature shall at
length expire :—but even then no decay
shall dare to touch the universe of souls.
Even then. there shall be memories in
heaven that shall speak of their little speck of
earthly existence as a well-remembered his
_ tory „ yt,tt, that shall-anti •
even' as 0 is, as not consnming
even the first glorious, minute of the
.ever
lasting day! For these things ye are born.;
unto this heritage are ye redeemed. Live,
then, as citizens of the immortal empire.
Let the impress of the eternal country be
on your foreheads. Let the angels see that
you know yourselves tifellOws. Speak,
think, and act, as bese "a your high an
cestry; for your Father , 113 in heaven, and
the first-born of your brethren is on the
throne of God. Oh ! as you read and hear
of these things, strain your eyes beyond the
walls of this dim prison, and catch the un= ,
earthly light of that spiritual world tee
the perfected Just, are already awWg
your, arrival. You go now celebrate that
on earth on 'which is nearest heaven; to
receive the memorial and quickening pre
sence of ' Him who was dead, and behold He
liveth evermore.' You go, as' it were,-to
kneel around the , -ate of Paradise, longing
for the time when Cie portals shall unclose,
yet humbly joyous that you' are permitted
even thus to wait. Oh ! may, the Father,
feed you with, the bread of heaven, which
whose eatetli shall live for ever ; giving
you life in giving you Him who is-the true
life; and sowing in. you that seed invisible
and incorruptible, whose flower is the
beauty of present holiness, whose fruit is
immortal glorY1"--- Wnz. A;ch,er Butler.
DWARFED CHRISTIAN CHARACTER.
Many Christians separate their religious
life wholly from their worldly life. They'
are regular in habits of secret devotion,
great lovers of a prayer-meeting, and un
deviating in hallowing the Sabbath and
the sanctuary. But they are not loveable
in their families, nor generouS in charity,
140 r sympathizing in trouble. Their ideas
of piety do.not extend to the common duties
of Mon which Jesus ,makes it to consist.
The British Messefiger says:
" This , man talks, prays and-lives, in
some respeots„, much p,Chlristianyiand
we think he one. Yee We 'arc perplexed'
to see how grace can dwell with a man'who
makes those about
. him so uncopforta s
ble.
How coldly and sternly' le- Vidalia to hi
wife, whom he ought.to love even as Christ
loved the church and died for it What
a cross and repulsive way lie has toward
his children ! In his family every thing
must_ bend to his iron will and crooked
notiOns. As a neighbor, he makes
he you
very uncomfortable: No plan can as
good as his, no conscience as tender and
strong, no help as profitable as that ten
dered under his lead. He evidently wants
to do good and go to heaven,' but as evi
dently has a, very crooked way of working
and going n.piard. Selfishness, sternness,
petulance, self-will. are close
introduced
his heart.. The brambles, tares, and wheat
are all growing together. It is rightous
Lot living in Sodom. The man does e not
realize that 'holiness in our mothei tongue
means whOleness of c haracter.
"Few things injure the cause of Christ
more than these inconsistencies, incon
gruities and. contradictions in good men.
Their religiOn is confined' to, and - expends
itself in, certain habits, ways of working,
neriods of Christian labor.

parently. So from he same stock you get
both kind of Jeiemiah's figs. ' One basket
was very good. figs, like the figs that; are
first ripe ; and the other basket had very
naughty figs, which could not be eaten,
they were so bad. I
" Some good men would be improved if i
they,should become less religions: . if need
be, that they might become more moral.
They ought to be better in secular and
worldly things, even though at the expense
of some of their religious doings. Their
family, social, business, public and Chris
tian life; needs tempering together into
good proportions. -Less in parts and more
in the-whole would improve them'." If the

OUR MIL TSAR,
Civil war Cannot be as fatal to a nation
as many have painted it. Cruel and bloody,
indeed, must be the fight when brothers
fall to blows-; but England has thilyen
on
such warfare. Her soil has : been drenched
again and again with the Wood - of her chil
dien. For thirty years' the white roses
met the red in deadly conflict. It was
eighteen years from the battle of Edgehill
to the coronation-, of Charlfs the :Spcond,
and to-day, in all the arte'of peace and ` war,
England stands foremost among the nations.
When mad clouds clash in the summer
sky, there ,is :fierce strifq:--the flash of
death-dealing lightninp and the terrific
cannonade of • the - thunder—but tlae earth
looks up all, the fresher, the air sweeps
round it all the clearer afterwards. So we
hope that the storm -shall be as-a savor of
life unto:lite. liolts.niustfa.ll4;,YetDur
moral atmosphere shall be purged of its
miasma, and our beloved land bloom with a
yet unknown freshness,, in tins light of the

Late as the.hour is now, when I am writing

TWO CAUSES' -OE , THE NUMEROUS
RA.ILROAD DISASTERS.
Polly Britain, a simple old woman living
in a retired" part of the country, once re
marked Very few people ever rode on
railroads without being kilned." If the
railway Accidents continue to multiply, as
they have during the last few months, this
statement may be made by intelligent men.
.These accidents are, all the result of mis
management on the part of the directors.
If a compe,tent and efficient superintendent
be eniployed, and if he be supplied • with
sufficient fun& to keep the track and rolling
stock in• repair, no accident will ever occur.
There are long roads in the country that
have -Veen in operation -thirty years Without
killing or injuring. a passenger. 'The em
ployment of an incompetent superintendent
is certainly the fault" ef'llie directors; and,
strange as it may seem - , this has been - done
for the 'sake of saving 'a portion of the sa
lary required to secure a capable man.
This is surely the worst of all places for
the practice of economy.
But as the character of our directors has
1 not suddenly changed ; there must be some
special cause or causes for the great in
crease of railway accidents at the present
time. Among the most important of-these ,
causes we suggest two—one political or so
cial, and the other mechanical.
I I Among all 'the manifestatiOns of the
wide-spread and disastrous effects'of an al-,
teration of the currency, there is none more
curious, as there is none more melancholy,
than'this increase in railway accidents.
The, rise in prices resulting' from the. aug
mentation of the currency lias . doubled the
cost Of,repairs,_and.there is a•universal 'be:
lief that this inflation of the currency will
be but temporary. - Railway directors,
therefore, in common with other bodies of
men, are disposed to put off all expendi
tures until the same result can be acom
plished with half the money. This. has led
to a postponernent of all important'improve
merits, and a resort to make-shifts and ex
pedients to keep the roads running for a
season'with the least possible expenditure
-for jepairs. As the inflation of currency
has continued longer than Was anticipated,
this system of , using the" railways wit
repairing them has, been persisted nth till
both the track and the rolling stock have
been worn to a wretched-condition, and the
natural result is this frightful succession of
ditaiters.
Many of the railroad accidents have been.
produced by broken rails, and this we are
told by a large iron manufacturer is mainly
due to the extensive use -for a few years
back of cold, short iron. -It is said that
this difficulty can be effectually remedied
by, the introduction of a small proportion of
either coppery ore or Franklinite into the
iron for rails. Competent 'directors would .
See that this danger
. Was avoided, as well as
that of rurO the roads w
