The change in the Philadelphia
Press, of which wc made mention laat
week, will not take place —the thing
has fallen through, it is reported
through the interference of Geo. \\.
Childs of the Ledger who did not wish
to see the Press turn against his friend
Grant, under such an editor as Mc-
Cluro, who would have made it a
stinging thing for L'lysscs. Ihi ids
has helped Forney out of his pecunia
ry embarrassment, and thereby pre
vented the sale. McClure, it is said
will start a new paper, aud is hacked

"When are the beneficial changes
and good times which Democratic vic
tories were to inaugurate, to appear
—fsuch is the sharp and knotty ijucs
tiou put by the Clinton Republican.
We answer, just as aoou as the dcuio
crats succeed iu brushing out of the
way the remaining radical rubbish—
iho Senate and Graut.
Radical papers are busying them
selves much about the election of a
democratic U. S* Senator. Never
mind, the democrats will attend to that
matter soon.
"The Centre Reporter hoists the
name of Hon. A. G. Curtiu for Cen
tennial President."
The above paragraph we find goiug
the rounds ofour our exchanges. We
only have to say that the Reporter
"haint doing no such thing."
A Republican paper says there has
been another dam disaster in Massa
chusetts, but this time you must put
jui -n" on it. So says the Columbian,
and it is correct, if it means from a
radical standpoint, time Nov. 3.
There is a fierce opposition to Mr.
Wallace, as a candidate for L. S.
Senator. We do not think the at
tacks upon him will be very telling,
as we see they are discountenanced by
nearly the entire democratic press of
the state. Mr. Wallace is the strong
est in the field for the Senatorship,
hence this fierce onslaught upon him.
The democracy of this state entrusted
the leadership of the party into his
hands in its dark days, and he led on
the column gallantly and without
signs of faltering. His ability aud
honesty have ever been acknowledged,
and it is now too late to injure him, his
services and true devotion to the party
are too well known. If elected, he
will be a credit to our patty and true
to the best interests of his state and the
country. Be it Wallace, Buekalew
or Black, we shall feel satisfied, but if
past services constitute a "claim,"
Mr. Wallace should stand first on
that score, besides he is even in abili
ty with any of the others whose names
are mentioned in connection with the
U. S. senatorship.
The New Constitution
While the new Constitution may
not .have prevented all the abuses
that corrupt politicians played upon
the people—and no Constitution that
can be written will do that—yet by
this time we are confident no man in
this state regrets that he voted in fa
vor of that instrument, while the ma
jority of those who voted "No"are now
satisfied that they were mistaken and
are ready to acknowledge its good ef
fects. The Bill Manns, Camerons and
Josephs, and their followers, are the
only ones among the opponents of the
new Constitution who would again
vote against it because in a large meas
ure it put an end to their intrigues
and pluuderings. Under its whole
some provisions Mann and Josephs
are left out in the cold, because they
no more have the same facilities to
stuff ballot-boxes and colonize voters.
Under the new Constitution the bor
ers and lobbyists who infested Har
risburgand corrupted the halls of legs
islation, are found there no more, and
Harrisburg is clear of them and the
people breathe easier.
Thus, and in many other respects
do we see the good effects that have
already been produced. It has reach
ed the big state rascals as well as the
dirty little county operators, who
hung to the skirts of men like Sam
Josephs and did their bidding. We
can see the good effects of the new-
Constitution in our own county —we
will have better men in place while
the corrupt who through bargain and
sale gained positions in opposition to
the will of the honest masses, now fiod
they cannot play their game as suc
cessfully and see a back seat in pros
pect for them, and that honest and
more capable men will be elected to
places of trust.
It was at once noticeable that all
ringsters and roosters were opposed to
the new Constitution, and it was read
ily discernable that they felt alarmed.
It is now evident that their alarm was
well*fouuded—it leaves these charac
ters, pretty much all of them, out in
the cold. They succeeded in mis
leading some voters by misrepresent
ing certain sections of the new Con*
■titution, but these now see they were
deceived and know what base mo
tives actuated their deceivers.
Let the people now see to it, that
those rascals who may still attempt to
play their old game in defiance oft he
safeguards that have been erected,
are made to Btand at a respectable dis
tance. There are still some evils
which the new instrument could not
reach, but which, nevertheless it if in
the power the honest people to put
down in their primary elections and j
at the ballofcbox.
The great Italian patriot, Garibal
di, is not at all a present taker like
grant, although ho is poor and there
fore acceptance of sums offered would
be excusable. Grant is rich, and got
rich by present taking, and is willing
to get richer in the same way. The
following from the Press, a Grant or
igan, would be a good text for that
sheet on Grant's present taking. It
says :
Garibaldi, who lias repeatedly been
elected u member of the lower chains
her of the Italian Parliament, hut has
not taken his seat, was re-elected by
more than one constituency the other
day. In Italv members of the Senate
as well as of the Chamber of Deputies
receive neither salary nor any other!
remuneration, consequently Garibaldi |
has not profited by the favor of his ad
mirers. It has been reported that he j
is reduced to actual poverty t" his
little island ofCaprera.and persistent
lv refuses all otlens, on the part of the
King of Italy, to better hi* condition
either by a liberal annuity from the
Royal income or by a grant from the j
Parliament. Fortunately, at thiscri- ,
sis, the muncipality of Naples have
intimated the inteutiou of presenting
him with a life annuity ofso,ooo. and
it is expected that he will accept this
graut. It would be a reproach to It
alv if the man who did so much to
obtain her independence were to suffer
from poverty or ingratitude. At
present Garibaldi is almost entirely
depeudent on Mr. Alexauder Ross, a
liberal aud generous American gen
tleman, for pecuniary support.
IMPORTANT* "LEGAL DECI
SION.
The most important ca>o tried ut
our late Court was that of Adam
fleeter. A. L. Guss, and Dr. J 1'
Thompson vs. Samuel L. Glasgow and
Harriet N. Glasgow, his wile. The
action was a scire facias, on a mort
gage executed by defendants, for the
purpose ofjmortgagiug the wife's sepa
rate real estate as security for the in
debtedness of her husband to said
plaintiffs. The evidence showed thut,
plaintiffs had been accommodation j
endorsers on several promissory notes
of Samuel L.Glasgow, amounting to
$2,000. That some time previous to
June, IST'J. Mr. Glasgow called on
one of the plaintiffs with a view ofgei
liog thtm to eudorse more notes for
him, which they declined to do. As
an inducement for them to comply
with his request, he proposed that it
thev would eudorse his notes for sl,-
500, his wife would join him iu exe
cuting a mortgage upon her separate
real estate, as security for the notes
previously eudorsed hv them, and also
for the notes which he then sought to
have them endorse. This proposition
was accepted by plaintiff*, and a mort
gage was executed by defendants,
whereby the wife's separate real es
tate was mortgaged as security for any
liability then incurred or that might
thereafter be incurred on the part of
plaintiffs, by reason of their said en
dorsements. Mr. Glasgow did not de
fend in the action as against himself.
His wife, however, defended and al
leged that the mortgage did uot bind
her for two reasons. First, because
there bad been a fraudulent alteration
of the mortgage by her husband, af
ter the execution thereof; second, be
cause the mortgage had not been le
gally acknowledged by her before the
Justice of the Peace, who took the ac
knowledgement.
As the Court withdrew tne case
2 from the jury for the reason set fi rlh
r in the second ground of defence, it is
f not necessary that any special refer-
ence ' should be made to any other
branch of the case.—The ruling prin
-1 the case was the illegality of
* the wife's acknowledgment, as taken
s before the Justice. Mr. Glasgow and
5 his wife went before P. H. Be nee,
Esq., a Justice of the Peace, residing
in Three Springs for the purpose of
having said mortgage duly acknowl
edged. The Justice asked Mrs. Glass
' gow whether she kuew the nature of
i the instrument she was about to exe
j cute —stating to her that if she did
not understand it, it was his duty to ;
explain it to her. bbe replied that
t she had read the mortgage, aud un-1
i derstood it. The Justice then made
. inquiry of her as to whether she exo
„ cuted the mortgage of her own free
will and aecord, and without any co
r ercion or compulsion on the part of
1 her husband, and she replied that she
- did. The mortgage was then signed
j by Mrs. Glasgow and her husband
and duly witnessed. His Honor
Judge Dean held that this was not a '
substantial compliance with tho pro
visions of the 2d Section of the act of
1770, which requires the officer before j
whom the acknowledgement is taken
to "read or otheru-uc make known to
the taid wife the full contents of sueh\
deed or conveyance." The Justice in,
this case did not read or otherwise
make known to the wife the conteots
of the mortgage, because she inform
ed him that she had read it herself,
and understood it. The Court held
that even if Mrs. Glasgow did inform
the Justice that she bad read the deed
and understood the contents of it, she
would not be estopped from proving
the falsity of her declaration to the
Justice ; and also that the Act requir
ing the officer before whom the ac
knowledgement is taken to read or
otherwise make known to the wife the
t full contents of the deed, must bctlrict
ly complied with. Under this instruc
tion of the Court, the jury rendered a
verdict against the husband for 83,-
1)14,32, and as to the wife they found
for the defendant. This is indeed one
of the most important decisions ren
dered in our Court for many years.
Acknowledgment of deeds by a wife
have almost invariably been taken bv
our Justices, without the Justice either
reading, or explaining to the wife, the
contents of the deed. These officers
have heretofore generally contented
themselves with an examination of the
wife, separate and apart from the
husband, and the assurauco by her
that she understands the deed, and
has executed it without any coercion
or compulsion of her husband. This
the Court holds is not sufficient; but
that the Justice must actually "read
I or otherwise make known to the wife"
the contents of the deed. The counsel
in the case were Messrs. 11. M. Bpeer
R. B. Petrikin and W. H. Woods for
plaintiffs and Messrs. John'Bcott and
B. T. Brown for defendants. We
learn that the case will be taken to
the Supreme Court, by the plaintifls,
where the correctness of the ruling of
the lower Court will be adjudicated
upon.— Huntingdon Monitor.

Krotn a lecture delivered in
dolphin recently by Wong Chin Koo.j
a Chinese Madariu :
l.adies and Gentlemen: Before 1
have the distinguished honor of pre- '
seutiug to your wise concideratioii one I
of the most important subjects which <
can l<s brought to the attention ot I
mankind, allow me, in the name of my '
nation, to thank the Americans for i
the interest they have taken in my i
eounti v, and the good they have done i
for my people. The Knglish and i
Krench have come to us lor purely i
-ellish motives : the Americans havt
sent us missionaries and brought lis <
useful information of the outside
world. The lecturer, alter asking i
J pardon in advance lor any mistake*
; in pronunciation or grammar which
' he might make, and promising to be
iquallv leuicut with American speak
| crs whom he might hear in China, en-,
It led upon the subject of his lecture i
i Confucius, he said, is tieiieved by th>
i lower classes of China to have been a 1
■ supreme being, hut among the chol
ars he is believed to have been a wise
and good man. lie was suppoaed to
| have been born of a virgin, and at
his birth no-si ngers from Heaven
j presided. An six years of age he wa.
! distinguished for his intellect, veiu ta
lion for the aged, and regard tor pro
priety. At the age of fourteen he was
appointed to a high position by the
Kinpcror, but when he grew to man
hood and observed with sorrow the
low condition of the people and tln
corruption which existed in the gov
eminent, he retired from his high po
sition nud denied himself all the pleas
ures and honors of this world in order
that he might be able to labor for tin
good of mankind. He did not carry
his religou out ntuoug all claisis of
people; he believed thut the low too*
lies could nut uuderslaud the priuci
pies he wished to inculcate in his
teachings; he therefore preached to
the intellectual and cultured classes,
and at his death 500 Maudarins w.n
his followers.
Confucius taught live cardinal priu- i
ciples—gravity, propriety, sincerity, 1
virtue, and fiilial piety, lu gravity 1
were included sobriety, and a thous
and other points of good behavior
necessary to win the respect of others.
It was a favorite saying of Confucius
that a man should never Wiar a young
but an old face. Levity was the sign;
of a shallow mind. So the Chinese, i
even iu their amusements and happi
est moments, are grave and sober.
Of propriety, he said its effect was
to keep every man from going beyond'
his station, either above or below it
According to this teaching, boys in
China were never allowed to romp
about the streets, but were taught how
to conduct themselves. Take a well
drested boy of ten rears ou the street
there, and he would be found to be
modest, respectful to strangers, and
laanlv. Youth of opposite sexes were
not allowed to associate together. The
girls were kept at home. Outsiders
called this a tarbarous custom. It
might be, but he should not like to ex
| change it for the civilization which
allowed women to he insulted while
walking alone on the streets, or which,
| -en', them to earn their ow u living in
manufactories where they were in
; dauger of being burned to dea'.h or
torn to pieces by the machinery. loj
; China, a girl's brothers or father wore
! supposed to support her.
\Ve teach the children, aid the
speaker, bow to live. In this country
I you seem only to teach thcu how to;
die. The sexes are not allowed to in
termicgle. This would, no doubt,
seem hard to Young Americans. We
respect the aged. When a man much
j older thau myself comes towards me
Ido not stare him in the face. I re
spectfully step asido and allow him
Ito pass by. Old men arc not allowed
jto wait on young men. The public
! supports the aged wherever it tinds
| them. It is supposed that wo arc
prejudiced against foreigners. Confu
| eius tells u to open our gates, aud if
; we close them, it is because foreigners
| continually disregard the great law of
: propriety. In regard to sincerity the
j speaker said the law desired that ev-
I cry man should he honest, truthful,!
laud sincere iu all things. In this,
j country it was said, "If n man has
, money he has friends." Iu China ii
| could be said,"lf a man has frieuds lie:
j has money." The manucr of pledg
ing friendship was next described, audi
the lecturer said that friends in China
j were generally more sclf-sarificing
thau husband and wife. The cardi
| nal principle of virtue was divided iu
j to five heads —hospitality, modest j,
meekness, economy, and industry.
| The potency of these teachings ex-
I plained iu detail, niter which lie pass
I cd to the last cardinal principle—fili
al piety, He said there was no na
tion in the world where filial piety
was so perfectly observed as in China.
The speaker had seeu a son fifty yenrs
of age return from his office, and
kneeling before his aged mother ask
if there was anything in his power loj
supply which she desired, and this was
iu a "heathen country."
Ho closed by declaring that the
whole of the religion of Confucius was I
summed up iu his Golden Rule, *l>o-.
ken moro than 2,300 years ago: "Dor
not unto others what you would uot;
have others do unto you." The re- 1
suits of the Confucian system lie wa
willing to compare with the Christian, j
He did not desire to urge his system I 1
upon Christians, but he wished Amer-i
icans to understand its beauties and '
realize its excellent effects on a pco- 1 !
pie. 1

Ihe Mentionite system ol ii
was founded, you know, by om- Si*
nioti Men no, in tho sixteenth century,
at the village of Wittmntsum, in the
Netherlands, It* original idea*, a*
distinguished from other similar re
ligious systems, was opposition to in-
Maut banlism ami the taking of e atli*,
j to which luts since been added opposi
tion to the beating ofaruis. Mention
' ism, us it now stands, is a mixture* of
'the eloclrinc* of the tjuakci*, tlie
Lutherans, and the Baptist#. It does
Hot take) very -ttotig hold e>t abstract
theological speculation*, but mainly
n-lates to mora! laws and duties. As
oue of tluir ministers remarked to me
here the other day, "It is a relieioti
for every day in the week and its
principles and precepts are practiced
and euforvcrd at every turn aud'iu ev
ery telation of daily lile. Hence the
•iugular asceticism of the sect, which
is carried to an extreme surpassing
even that of the most devout and in
trospective Roman Catholics. All
their disputes arc adjusted by a min
ister ; all their pleasures have the lla>
ve r of prayer about them ; aud their
constant aim seems to bo to conform
as nearly a* possible in all things to
the life which Je-u i- supposed to
have lived ami taught. When a Men-

They take no part or interest in pol
itic#, ami rarely fellowship in u re
ligious way with other sc-cU. M. >t of
them have a common school educa
tion, and their ministers are frequent
ly men of more than average attain
ments ; but as a people, they read
very little, and consequently wrangle
very little either atuoug themselves
or with uuregtiierate outsiders. Ihe
Cerulean blue of Tundall's jurplex
iug rhetoric does net reach them ; tin v
probably uever heard of Ben Butler ;
and thev enjoy the enviable distinc
tion of being the only class of civiliz
ed people in this country who have
not caught a single sniff of that foul
blast from Brooklyn.
The Meuuouites went over into Bus
sia from Holland aud Germany abcut
a hundred years ago, aud found a qui
et retreat there near the border-of the
Black Bea, a charter being granted
them by the Kuasian Government for
ever exempting them from military
! duty, and otherwise securing them iu
the perpetual enjoyment of their dis
tinctive religious, doctnues, and prac
tices- There the principal body of
them has since been located, although
there have been and are yet numbers
| of tbciu in other parts of Kuropc nnd
this country. Constant accessions
were made to the Church iu Russia,
and their industrious and economical
habits soon raised them from poverty
to comparative atfluence. As
they grew strong in numbers and
wealth, they tx-gau to attract the
special attention of the Russian Ha
iti ve population, aud their cxcmpliou
from many of the ordinary duties of
citizens commenced to be murmured
about in Russian politics. At length,
about a year ago, that part of their
charter granting them immunity fr..m
military service was ti>uuU-<f, and
they were informed that they could
cither submit to the change or take
themselves out of the country within
the ensuing five years. They chose
the latter alternative, and the colonics
{coming to America this season are the
advance-guard of about foity thous
and who will seek a new asylum in
jour Western States aud Territories as
fast as they can arrange for the remov
al. Their property in Russia is sold
aud trauvfered as rapidly as possible
—not to whoever will buy, hut to
Menoonitca who arc too old or infirm
to do military duty, or to grapple
with the toil and privation of the
American "departure,"
The number already arrived lure
aud yet to come this year embraces
about a thousand families who bring
about $5,000,000 in money. They
arc all farmers and expect to engage
in grain and stock raising, but every
man among them is master of some
mechanical trade, that being a re
quirement iu their organization.
Thcv build their own bouses, make
their own farming implements, aud
manufacture their own clothing.
They have stores of their own, too and
in every way manage, as far as prac
tical, to do all their business of a gen
eral character inside of their commu
nity. While staving here in Topcka
they have bought quite extensively of
household goods aud of horses, cattle,
wagons, and other things necessary to
the prompt commencement of opera
tions iu tneir new homes. They have
probably spent here in two weeks for
such articles fully SIOO,OOO. They
buy carefully and sparingly, nnd
display good judgement iu making
their selections. Their favorite pur
chase in the household line arc wash
boards and cooking-stoves, two things
that they have heretofore hail no ex
perience with, and which seem to
strike them as being of special utility.
But the sewing-machine is a snare to
them, and they see no use for smooth
ing irons when clothes can he easily
"pounded out" with a stick or
board. They no dry goods, nnd
but few groceries, being violently
plain both in their apparel and tlu-ir
rituals. The men are strong and ro
bust, nnd the women fresh, active and
idy. Their dress is of a monotonous
lameness, and not specially noticeable
'or elegance. The men wear coarse
•assimerc trowscrs, loose cotton blous
>s or jackets, small black caps and
ow leather shoes. The women wear
hort cotton frocks, with sleeves coni

A WIFE MURDER WEST.
Terro lluutc, lud., Nov. 30. At
Cluverdale, I'utmnn cuuutv, lnd., *c
terday, I'hotno# Martin became offend
ed at something said by bis wife and
gave her three minutes to retract. At
. the end i f that time he shot her with a
, pistol, the ball taking effect in her
! head and killing her instantly. The
I poor woman bad her babe in tier arms
I when shot, and fell with it clasped to
her breast. A man named Stanton
j was in the house, and interfered to
save the woman, when Martiu shot
him in the shoulder, probably fatally.

"THE OPEN DOOR." ;j,
; e
A MKMOK IIV W. A. ZI.IIXK. HI
Mr. Alger's sermon was as follows, the
text being the eighth verso of the third
chapter of the Apocalypse.
The Sermon.
'T have set before thee an open door, and
no man can shut it." The theme suggest
ed by these words from the Apocalypse is
the impossibility of a monopolization of the
gifts of God. The things of inuu's produc
tion are the constant prey of cliques and fac
tions who seize thesis lor tho express pur
pose of withholding them from producing
those general benefits they wero meant to
accomplish. One of tho oldest examples
of monopoly is that of Joseph in Egypt
while he was ruler of that land. During
the seven years oi plenty ho stored away
great quantities of provisions, and when
the seven years of famine came lie sold
them unto the people, receiving their mon
ey, their eattle, their persons and land,
until Pharaoh besarno solo owner of the
whole of Egypt and the people inpt as well.
In Athens speculators often abused their
privileges to buy up some necessary arti
cle, until a law was passed that no citizen
should purchase ol certain articles more
than a specified quantity. In Spain and
Franco monopoly run riot, wjth fearful re
sults. Queen Elizabeth granted to one ins
dividual the exclusive right to import, ex
port. and sell alum to her subjects. Sir
Walter Raleigh enjoyed a monopoly of tho
tobacco trade from lit-r. Not only were
material things thus bartered away, but
the matters beyond form were put under
exclusive control in Roman Catholic coun
tries. For a lung lime the Jesuilcs had
the exclusive right to the education of th?
people, anil they never gave up that pow
-r without impute ami struggle, while the!
people rtuhing irom one extreme to nn
othi r have hannheil them from the placet
they have formerly Infested. The wrong
of monopoly I, three-folil It increases
the cost, destroy, the ipiality, ami limits

it ileal* Ihe tiue dositerata are to lower
the cost, raise theijuantily, ami universal

grasping ardor of elfish men can easily
put a monopoly ml Away. Here we see
lus eff- rts conlinuaHPpnl forth. From
the old monarchies TlindosUn and China
t. the last political move in.England we
see it. Kitigs holding the reitu of virtual)

in the nalion~-lhc limits between classes
.Jgcd with impassable barriers In a de>
.mootacy, in hurablo imitation of (sod,
tLese n. mupolies are all swept away. A
democratic government makoa its prices
freato all competitors. This is the espe
cial glory of our country. < >ur lathers col
li i*-d our shores to escape the monopoly
{ Church atid State. ami planted that
germ of democratic salvafmn which it is
.our duty to protect In spite of tho darks
si omens wo are in some degree fulfilling
that duty to-day teaching ilia world the
glori' i.- maxim that class monopoly must
ccao It.r country has no walls s.ve the
■ ■rean and the sky. and in the sign of free
dom lifts up the standard calling on all the
ct.ds "f the earth to look up ie it. The)
fourth opan du.r i that of religion. Of!
all things our relation with the Infinite 1
must be the least susccplable cf mclosure,,
proscription, and dogmatism; and yet by
a *ir.guiar travesty and pcrversien, no line
. f thought includes so much despotic au
thenticity on the one side, and such weak!
and abject mental action on the .-ther :
This shoulj be no longer allowed. Then
is a tendar.cy in man to assume a monop-i
oly . f the knowledge of the divine truth'
a;. ! favor, and handing everybody else
over taSatanic supervision. Many a one
virtually says "Believe as I believe, or you
are blasphemer-, acting against U -J. anJ
tlooined to perdition ' Each poiiti -al pr
ly claims to mono|M>lirc all the patriotism
and wisdom, and there arc parlies in re-1
ligiuii who it-sume that ail everlasting safe
ty i found in their clique, while the other!
sect are heretics, sure to be damned. The i
great Roman church declares itscif the sole'
depository of everything holy.in the dog. <
mas and ritual of the church, orthodox and
and heterodox, Christian and l'agan. The
teachings of <od are the power from (J ul
to forgive and renew man. None have a
monopoly of the most essentia) boons of
tl. • great father . that which is cotnoti to;
all is esse ntia! , that which is characloris- -
tic to a few in unessential. Their agree-!
mcnts are divine, their dissensions diabol
ic. There i no |His#ibh> valid monopoly
in any sect or patty of the true substance
of morality, and the fellowship of divinity, j
or the passport to heaven. There is yet
set before us the op< n door of death. Aj
perverse theology has tried to inako us
look <>n death as a horid calamity—as the
penalty of sin ; but clearly it was a part of
nature frqpi the first, long before man np
pcared to commit sin. All the races that
existed before man died, therefore the sin
of Adam was not the cause of death.
Death is no evil. Since God is an infinite
ly benignant spirit, death, which makes us
free spirit-, brings us so much nearer to his
likeness. Death, truly considered, is'a de
livcranoo - deliverance from the loads and
storms; rest—rest from the toils and con
tests; release—release from rigors and anx
ious forebodings. God be thanked for
that blessed door and open way of death.
When misfortune, disease, agony, and old
ago Jiave done their sad work on us, how
wo gladly go through this open door into
the mysterious hereafter Laeordaire, the
most eloquent man that Christendom has
seen for ;<*> years, when dying, as lie lifted
up iiis crucifix from his pallet, hit great
soul burdened with the trials of earth, ex
pressed this desire in his parting words .-
"((pen to mo; open to mo." To die then
in the proper time is nocurse, but a hie*-,
ed privilege, and wo ought to bo greatful
that it is out of the power of any man to
~hut tli open door >( our deliverance.
. One more open door which Ood ha* *ci bc

j earthly good* and privileges man may
muka clo*e corporations, hut boyar.d the
'confine* of the earthly ho cannot grasp
' | and hold In the mother universe all is

' Spirit is indoUructible; no tecnichal belief
"! or gilt can hut the open door of an Im

t stream of the relieved ones is passing, cvor

1 blessedness, and ease of (heir paradisai
1 home. Ood be thanked for this last nnd
I best door, and let uilivo and prove worthy
' of the high privilege, drawing inspiration
1 when we are weary, comfort when we
' mourn and are sad. Mature, man, aociety,
religion, death, und heaven aro the avenues
which never can be closed to the realms of
' jov and pleasure, where no monopoly can
run us of one iota of our own—wnoro the
creator, Hod, lives witlijopcn doors, in un
bounded liberality und unexampled pro
fusion of grace, lie can well support such
generous gifts, since the limits of his house
being commensurate with tho confines of
tho universe, nothing can be lost from it.
Let us thank (Jod tho Father that tho
doors of his cosmic house are always open,
not only to the elect, but to the prodigal
also. Some enter through another, but all
