WOMAN IN THE FRENCH REVOLUTION.
Trn.F.a. CitoyenneJacqueline. AWontan's
Lot in the Great French Revolution. By
Sarah Tytler, author of "Papers for
Thoughtful Girls." Alexander Strahan:
London and New York. 12mo, pp 429.
A tale founded on the dark and tragic
incidents of the French Revolution, full of
stirring interest and illustrating in the most
graphic manner the various phases of wo
man's life in those dreadful times. It is a
picture behind the scenes, so to 'speak,
while in front goes on the awful drama of
violence and blood. Domestic life among
the polished and heartler-s nobility just be
fore the Revolution, and among the middle
classes, is described with minute but pleas
ing fidelity. Life in the castle and the
village inn is succeeded by life in fickle
revolutionary Paris; iii the home of the
merchant; behind the prison walls of the
Luxembourg, for the ware of murderous
fury at length breaks into the domestic
circle, and Citoyenne Jacqueline becomes
familiarized with all the horrors of that
carnival of crime.
The story is wrought with much skill;
some of the characters are powerfully
drawn and discriminated. Striking con
trasts bring the various parts of the book
into relief; the sceptic brought back to the
faith by believing womanin the dying hour ;
the earnest adherence of woman to the
faith discarded by bloody and licentious
revolutionists ; the instance of unwavering
fidelity and manly courage in the midst of
universal terror and mistrust, crowned with
triumph at last, are all described and wrought
out with a pen of unusual attractiveness and
force, and form a picture of novel elements
but harmonious and instructive in a high
•
degree.
Binding and paper are in the usual
attractive style of the publisher. Messrs.
Smith, English & Co., are agents in this
city.
INDIAN AFFAIRS.
REPORTS OP THE COMMISSIONER OP INDIAN
AYFAIRS, for the year 1865.
Hon. D. N. Cooley, Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, has sent us his report, made
to the present Congress. The unsettled
and destitute condition of some of the
largest tribes consequent upon the rebel
lion, and the hostility still cherished by
others, requiring active military operations
to control it, are described. As as instance
of diminution and decay . of these tribes, it
may be mentioned that the Choctaws and
Chickasaws, who now number 17,000 in all,
were reckoned at '25,000, including 5000
slaves, at the beginning of the war. There
are now from 300,000 to 350,000 Indians
within the boundaries of our Union, many
of them at the date of the Report receiv
ing rations from the Goverment.
We are glad to see our authorities plead
ing for justice, and calling the conduct of
many unprincipled white people toward the
Indians by its right name. The wholesale
robbery of the live stock of the,Cherokees
to the amount of two millions of dollars,.
and of other tribes to the amount in all of
four millions, by whites from Kansas, is
properly described as " outrageously crimi
nal." While they do not conceal the gen
eral treachery and worthlessness of the un
civilized tribes, and their obstinate resist
ance to the progress of our settlements in
the West and Northwest, and, while they
advise and are carrying out, energetic mea
sures for protecting the whites and punish
ing the murderous Indians, a truly Chris
tian policy towards the race is commended.
It is honorable to dur American statesman
ship that the divine cure of religion and
education, instead of the devilish remedy
of extermination, is proposed and endorsed
by the Government.
The bulk of the volume is occupied with
reports from the different agencies, closing
with statistics and tables showing the con
dition of the various tribes in many im
portant points of view.

A SHOT AT THE DECANTER.
BY REV. THEODORE L. CUYLER
There is a current story that a Quaker
once discovered a thief in his house; and
taking down his grandfather's old fowling
piece, he quietly said " Friend, thee had
better get out of the way, for I intend to
fire this gun right where thee stands."
With the same considerate spirit we warn
certain good people that they had better
take the decanter off their table, for we
intend to aim a Bible-truth right where
that decanter stands. It is in the wrong
place.. It has no more business to be there
at all than the thief had to be in the honest
Quaker's house. We are not surprised to
find a decanter of alcoholic poison on the
counter of a dram-shop whose keeper is
"licensed" to sell death by measure. But
we, are surprised to find it on the table or
the sideboard of one who professes to be
guided by the spirit and the teachings of
God's Word. That bottle stands right in
the range of the following inspired utter
ance of St Paul: "It is good neither to
eat flesh, Nor to drink wine, nor anything
whereby thy brother stumbleth." This text
must either go out of the Christian's Bible,
or the bottle go off the Christian's table.
The text will not move ; and the bottle
must.
The pasiage itself is so clear that it can
hardly admit of a cavil or a doubt. It
teaches the lofty and benevolent principle—
thatabstinence from things that are neces
sarily hurtful to others, is a Christian expe
diency that has the grip of a moral duty.
This sounds, at first, like aikrery radical
doctrine ; but so conservative an expounder
as Prof. Hodge, of Princeton, has defined
the text as teaching that things which are
not always wrong per se are to be given up
for the sake of others. He says that the
legal liberty of a good man is never to be
exercised where a moral evil will inevitably
flow from it. We .are never to put stumb
ling-blocks in -the•way of others. Good
men ale bound to sacrifice anything and
everything that is counter to the glory of
God, and destructive of the best interests of
humanity.
It would be easy to' prove unanswerably
that alcoholic beverages are injurious to
those who use them. The famous athlete,
Tom Sayers, was once asked by a gentle
man, " Well, Thomas, I suppose that when
you are training, you use plenty of beef
steaks, and London porter, and pale ale ?"
The boxer replied, " In my time I have
drunk more than was good for me; but
when I have business to do, there's nothing
like water and the dumb-bells." After re-
tiring . from " business " he took to drink
and died like a sot. "business,"
water made him
a Samson : alcohol laid him in his grave.
As a matter of personal health and long
life, "it is good not to drink wine ;" as an
example to others, total abstinence is a.
Christian virtue.
The inherent wrong of using intoxicating
drinks is twofold. 1. It exposes to datiger
the man who tampers with it; for no man
was ever positively assured by.his Creator
that he could play 'with the "adder" that
lies in a wine-cup without being stung by
it. 2. It puts a stumbling-block '.in the
way of him whom we are commanded to
ove as ourselves
We lay down, then, the proposition, that
no man has a moral right to do anything
the influence of which is certainly and in
evitably hurtful to his neighbor. I have a
legal right to do many things which as a
Christian I cannot do. - I have a leg a l
right to take arsenic or swallow, strych
nine; but I have no moral right to com
mit this self-destruction. I have a legal
right ,to attend the theatre. No police
man stands at the, door to exclude me, or
dares to eject me while my conduct i s
orderly and becoming. But I have n o
moral right to go there not merely because

ANTIQUITY OF THE WALDENSIAN
CHURCH.
" Avenge, 0 Lord, thy slaughtered saints, whose
bones
Lie scattered on" the Alpine Mountains cold ;
E'en them who kept thy truth so pure of old
When all our fathers worshipped stocks and
stones."
So wrote John Milton two hundred years
ago. The two latter lines discover to us
that in his day the faith of the Waldenses
was known to be ancient as well as pure.
We unhesitatingly claim for the Walden
sian Church the high distinction of being
the oldest Evangelical Church that exists
in Europe ; and for the twofold proof of
this claim, we point to the pages of ancient
history, and to the evidence furnished by
the Waldensian manuscripts. Among the
latter, an, ancient version of the New Tes
tament, in the ancient dialect of the Wal
denses (three MSS. copies of which exist,
of dates between the twelfth and four
teenth centuries) proves that in these re
mote valleys a vernacular version of the
Word of God was• circulating some cen
turies before it had been translated into
our own tongue, or into that of any other
people—a most striking fact ! And when
we point to what we are pleased to call the
venerable standards' of our different
Churches here at home, we should remem
ber that they are documents of yesterday
when placed alongside of the yellow parch
ments, some in the library of Geneva, others
in that of Cambridge, which are veritable
manuscripts in the Waldensian dialect. Col
lected in the Valleys in the times of perse
cution, they had been handed down among
these people since the distant time whose
date they bear—a period of more than
seven hundred years. Ido wish that space
permitted me to make some extracts from
that most curious poem, the 4( Nobla Ley
zon," which with the Confession of Faith,
the Catechism, and the tracts called "Anti
christ" and "Purgatory," set forth the truth
and exposed the corruptions of Rome. The
fact that such writings were at so distant
an era as the twelfth century composed by
men living in these remote solitudes, pl a i n l y
indicates that long before even that date a
people existed the who were separate
theirown tongue with the Word of God.
from the Roman Church and familiar in
mountains, was preserved through long cen
turies in native vigor, unblighted by the
blasts of error which swept across the
plains of central Italy.
He must be strangely blind who does
not perceive,a special providence in the
history of this ancient Church and people :
a Providence whose wondrous ways we
hope yet more clearly to unfold, when we
come to tell how, amidst persecutions almost
unequalled, this bush of the wilderness
turned, yet was not consumed—and how,
lso, through the liberation of Italy in our
day, slips from this venerable tree are now
being planted over the length and breadth
of that most interesting land.—D. K.

From the venerable Archdeacon &arr. D.D.
DUNHAM, Canada East. March 21. 1865.
• • * "I am an inveterate Dyspeptic of more
than 26 yetlrs' standing.
* s * ' I have been so wonderfully benefitted in
the three short weeks during which I have used the
Peruvian Syrup, that I can scarcely persuade myself
of the reality. People who have known me are aston

One of the-most Distinguished J urists in New
England writes to a friend as follows :
"I have tried the Peruvian Syrup. and the result
fully sustains your prediction. It has made a new

energy; I am no longer tremulous and debilitated, as
when you last saw me, but stronger, heartier, and
with larger capacity for labor, mental and phy:ical,
than at any time duringthe last fire years."
An eminent divine of Boston, says
"I have been using the PERUVIAN SYRUP for
some time past; it gives me new vigor, bucyancy of

The Rev. JACOB SECHLRR, of Hanover, Pa., well
known and much respected among the German popu
lation of this country, makes the following statement
for the benefit of the afflicted:—
Dear Sirs :—Having realised in my family impor
tant benefits from the use of your valuable prepara
tion—Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry—it affords me
pleasure to recommend it to the public. Some eight
years ago one of my daughters seemed to be in a de
cline, and little hopes of her recovery were enter
tained. I thenprocured a bottle of your excellent
Balsam, and before she had taken the whole of the
contents of the bottle there was a great improvement
in her health. I have, in my individual case, made
frequent use of your valuable medicine, and have al
ways been benefitted by it. JACOB SECHLER.
