CEXTEXXIAL EXHIBITION A T

Ex-Govcrnor Biclcr, of I'cnnsj'lv-

lietn of the New Hnmpihire Lcgi8la-
litre in the Hull ol iftMinmontatives on
Thnredny nfternoon, July 2, nnd spoko
tor thrco-nnitnera ot an hour In ci
jilttiiittion of thu pn'pnrationi) for, tlio
uljucts and tho advantages of tho
(ircut National Exposition at Philadel
phia next year. Wo ai)Hind the sub
stance ol liin remarks
Tho reason for tho Centennial Cele
bration might properly embrace the
history of our country from its dis
covery.
The planting ol settlements on the
hIioivs ot the Atluntie, tinder the
unspices of lireat Britain ; tho organi-
.nliun ot these settlements intosoparnto
colonies; tho resistance ofthoso colo
nies to the. oppressive measures of the
mothor country : the evidence ol dis
affection growing out of tho oppressive
policy ol lireat lirilain ; now the colo
nies united to resist the offensive nrin
cipie and practico of taxation without
representation ; how tho stamp act was
openly resisted by individual citiisonB,
and how indignant communities did
rise up and destroy shipments ot tea,
because its use implied submission to
an nniust principle ol taxation.
The centennial aunivcraariesof these
events have already been celebrated at
lloston, in December, IMi.J; at Jialti-
moro, in Fobrnnry, 1874, and at itridgo
ton, N. J., in 1875. Wo should havo
to tell the story of tho organization of
tho Continental Congress, and bow the
military of George the Third exerted
themselves to defeat that step, and
bring to your notice tho beroio daring
of Samuel Adams at Salem, who slam
med tho door in tho luce of the British
soldiers and locked it until thodelegntes
to the Continental Congress wore
looted. And also how hostilities actu
ally commenced at Lexington and Con
cord. And it would do one's heart
good to tell tho story of the night ride
of Paul Rovorc on that ineinomhle
occasion.
The reasons for thocclcbration would
embrace tho entire doings of the Con
tinental Congress at Cnrentcrs Hull.
n riitladelpliia: and it makes the blood
tinglo in one's veins to repeat tho
words of (ioorgo Washington enunci
ated at tho most critical period "I
will ratso a regiment at my own ex
pense and march to the dofunso of
lloston."
Next, wo should have to consider
th
of
o grout docisive ovont the signing
tho declaration ol independence in the
Mnto House at 1'hiladelphia ; the won
dorful character of the paMir itself
(the more wendorlul the older it gets)
Tho lights it threw upon tho idea of
sell. government have grown brighter
in this country as well as In f.uropo.
And abovo allthounansworablo reason-
ng by which the Congress was brought
to tho conclusion that "theso united
colonics ure, and of right, ought to be
free and independent Htatos."
I lien tho protracted struggle m the
field to sustain tho Declaration ngainst
tho military power of (ireat Britain.
Thescenos at Trenton, ntUcrmantown,
at llrandywine, at Saratoga, at King's
Mountain, at Uowpcns, at Iniillurii
Court Jlouso and Kutaw Springs
closing with aglorions triumph at York
town. 'Then, alter peaco began that
marvelous growth in population ; in
territorial acquisitions; in the found
ing of additional States, with tho con
stant Improvements in tho arts' of
peace, under which the thirteen original
colonies have in 100 years bocomo
thirty-seven sovereign States, and tho
population of 3,000.000 has been in-
rcased to 4,mihmiir,, and under which
the civilisation that seemed one hun
dred years ago only to touch along tho
rugged shores of the Atlantic, was car
ried across tho continent and planted
on tho l'acific. Step by stop tho pio
ncors encroached upon the forests, and
the soil yielded its fruits, and the wil
derness tlid "blossom as tho rose."
With such a history was it singular
as wo aro Hearing tho closo of the first
century of the Republic, that the
thought should havo occurred to aomo
ono that t lie centennial anniversary of
tho decisive ovents that brought that
Ilopuhlic into existence, should bo com
memorated by ceremonies befitting a
great nation, in manifesting reverence
lor tho memory of the patriots and "oi
lers who loundod It T i be American
Institute at New York, the Franklin
Institute, the Councils of Philadelphia
anil the Legislature of Pennsylvania,
brought this subject to the attention
of Congrats, and that body, in the pre
amblo to tho law-making provision for
tho celebration, commended It to tho
pooiilc in the following lelieitous forms :
"Whereas, the Declaration of Inde
pendence of tho United States of Amorl-
ca was prepared, signed and prnmu!
gated in too year I i u, in lite Uity ol
Philadelphia: and, whereas, it behooves
the people of tho United States to cole
brute, by apprnpriutu ceremonies, tho
eentcnmul anniversary of the memnra-
hlcand decisive event which constituted
tho Fourth tiny of July, Anno Domini,
1776, tho birthday ol the nation ; and,
whereas, it is deemed fitting that tho
completion of the first century of our
national existence shall bo commemo
rated hy an exhibition of tho national
resources of the country and their de
velopment, and of its progress in those
arts which benefit mankind, In com
parison with those of other nations;
and, whereas, no place Is so appropriate
for such an exhibition as tho city in
which occurred tho event it is designed
to commemorate ; and, whereas, aa the
exhibition should be a national celebra
tion, in which tba people of tb whole
country should participate, it should '
have the sanction of the Congress of
the United 8tatos."
To the end that the ceremonies of
the celebration might bo nntional in
the broadest and most practical senso,
Congress did provide, In tho law of
March, 1871, that tho management
should be entrusted to commissioners
from tho several Stntos and Territories,
and that this body should have the
ngm lo uosign nnu cany out. me eerw
monios, tho principal feature of which
should be an International Exhibition
of "arts and manufactures, and tho pro
ducts of tho soil, and the tnino;" and
also that tho ceremonies should "be
conducted under the auspices of the
Government of tho United States."
Congress did also, in furtherance of
. 1 J . : T ,omi .
line uujecv, in a unu, int , cruiuu a cor
poration known as tho "Centennial
Board of Finance." The ohjoot ol this
body was to raise the capital necessary
to provido for the celebration for
Congress favored tho policy ot trusting
tho States and the people with raising
tne necessary amount ot capital.
me Centennial Hoard of rinanco
has the ordinary forms of an American
corporation.
It was authorised to raise entrust to
tho extent ot ten millions, and give to
each State the right to take its pro rata
share on the basis ol population, which
sum is almost equal to twonty-flve cents
per capita. 1 be stock is ten dollars
per share, and share-holders are owners
ill an iiiu uuiiuiiigs, nnu uro eniiiieii to
ono vote for each share in the election
of directors, and are exempted from all
liability, except to pay what they sub
scribe.
The Centennial Board is bound to
use all the money it may receive for
tho salo ot stock, or hy contributions,
in tho erection of buildings and making
other preparations, and is also required,
at tho closo ot tho exhibition, to con
vert its assets into ensh, and, after pay
ing its debts, tn divide its remaining
means amongst the stock-holdout, pro
rata.
Under these laws the practical work
commenced, and in July, 187.1, tho
proper authorities of tho city of Phila
delphia, in tho presence of a vast con
courso of people, did deliver to the
Centennial Commissioners, a deed, dedi
cating 40 acres of ground, in Fair
Mount 1 urk, at 1'biladelphia, lor tho
uses and purposes ot tho l.entoniiiul
r.xhibition. I ho 1 resident ot tbo
United Slates tlid, on this occasion, by
proclamation, commend the proposed
celebration to the favor and support of
the people ot the United Mtalos, and he
did, also, commend tho International
hxhibition to the favorable constdera
tion of tho Governments of foreign
Nations, to tho end that all might
participate therein.
I lie President, at a subsequent dato.
in pursuance of a law of Congress, did.
in tbo name of the United Htatos, ex
tend a cordial invitation to the Govern
ments of other Nations to be repre
sented, and take part in the Interna
tional r.xhibition, to tie held at
Philadelphia, under the auspices of the
Government of the United States, in
tho year 1876.
X hose proceedings, you will porcetve,
gentlemen, committed the Government
and poople of the United States to the
balance ot tne world, for the opportuni
ties and civilities of an International
Exhibition ; and you will agree with
me. also, that tho providing of what
wo have tendered to foreign countries,
on a proper scale, has become a matter
ol truth and honor and common prop
erty. Failure on this poind would
stamp the Amorican namo with indeli
ble reproach.
ihirty-oight lorcign Governments
havo accepted tho President's invita
tion, and among them are the follow
ing, to wit : Great Britain, tho German
Empire, Franco, Sweden, Norway,
Austria, Peru, U. 8. Columbia, Nica
ranga, Argentine Confederation, Brazil,
Vcnor.ucla, ftcuador, I bill, Guatimala,
Labrador, Mexico, Honduras, llayti,
tbo Netherlands, Belgium, Liberia,
Sandwich Islands, China, Japan, Spain,
Switzerland, and the British Colonies
Canada, Australia and New Zealand,
nearly all of which have appointed
commissioners to represent them, and
have niado appropriation of moans to
carry out their part in displaying tho
progress of their rcspoctivo countries
in civil arts and sciences at the Cen
tennial Exhibition. With such an ar
ray of oo-opcration by foreign Govern
ments and the efforts now being made
by this country, the International ex
hibition should bo an assured success.
As to the progress and present status
of the preparations :
Thu buildings aro five in number, uml
are as follows : Tho main exhibition
building covors an area ol 21 acres, and
is constructed of iron, glass and brick.
About ten acres of the fraino is up and
being rooted over. It is to bo com,-
ileted by tho 1st of January next, un
der a forfeiture of fl,200 rday, for
ovory any beyond that time, it will
cost J1,GOO,000.
The Art gallery is ono of the most
romarkablo spociinons of architectural
grandeur in tho country. It is con
structed of granite, (some lrom New
Hampshire), iron, brick and elans.. It
covers about II acres. The walls aro

finished. Cost, 11,500,000 whieh is
provided hy tho S'.ato of Pennsylvania
and city of Philadelphia, and is to bo
completed by tho 1st of January on
suing. Tbo Machinery hall covers an area
of 14 acres. Tho posts and beams aro
of wood, braced with iron, and tin roof.
It will cost about 1700,000 completed.
The frame is up, and it is mainly under
roof. It is to bo completed in October,
and the cost thereof is provided for by
the city of Philadelphia.
The Agricultural Department covers
ton acres. It is to bo constructed of
wood and protected with metallic paint.
Its cost will be 1750,000, and it is to bo
completed by tho 1st of January.
The Conservatory covers a spaco of
about 1 acres. It is constructed of
iron, brick and glass. It will cost
1288,000, and willlo completed in Sep
tember coming. Its cost ia provided
for by the city of Philadelphia.
Tho Ladies' fiopartmcnt will cover
about one acre and cost 9:10,000, to be
provided for by tho ladies of the United
States.
In addition to these, many special
exhibition buildings aro to ho erected.
Tho Government of tho United Stntos
is erecting an exhibition building at a
cost of 1150,000. A number of tho
States are about to erect iLuii own
headquarters. Tho commissioner from
Great Britain have contracted fur a
splendid pnvillion, as the English head
quarters. You will then pcrcoivo, gentlemen,
that the exhibition buildings proper,
will cover an area of noarly 50 acre :
and that this cannnot be accomplished
without a groat sum of money. That
sum, including expenses from th be
ginning to the end, la estimated at
about eight millions of dollars. This
may vary from 71 to B mhlions. Of
this sum abont five and hall millions
havo been raised and secured. But
ono and a half million in addition, ought
to be turnishod prior to the opening ol
the exhibition. .
Tho Stute ol Pennsylvania and tho
city of Philadelphia have appropriated
two millions and a half towards the
erection of cortain of thu buildings, and
tho citizens of Pennt'lvania and tho
itailroad Companies at Philadelphia
havo subscribed for about two million
two hundred thousand dollars of tho
stock in addition, and the remainder of
the sum secured, say 700,000, has boon
subscribed by other States and their
citizens. ; -
As tho case standi now it is estima
ted that the capital furnished, that is
not to be represented by stock, and tho
income from tho sale of rights nnd
privileges, and medals, and tho products
of tho sulo of the buil lings at tho closo
of the exhibition, wrlkinonnt to about
throe million five hundred dollars, so
that the stock issue will not oxcecd
four to four and a half millions.
All the receipts for admission fees, at
50 cents each, will be applicable to tho
redemption ot tins stock ; and it win
bo perceived that iinr millions of en
tries would pay fifty per cent, on the
stock, and 8,000,0011 would redeem it
in lull. It is estimated that each er
son visiting the exhibition will entur
threo or more times so that tho persons
entering will not number moro Ihun
one-third of the entries.
Tho total numbor of entries at Paris,
n 1807, counted ovor 10,000,000, and
at Vienna the viuits counted 7,030,000 ;
and ovon at these low figures, in all
probability, our stock will bo paid in
full. We have never urged subscrip
tions to the stock solely on the ground
ttut the mono)' would bo paid back ;
but wo deem it proper enough to show
whut tho indications in that direction
are. If the States and the peoplo will
not furnish tho capital, as a means of
honoring the memory ol tho great and
good men who founded the Kepublie,
nnd to protect the good name of that
Kepubhc, as now committed lo foreign
Governments, they will not do so even
to make money ; and it is said that
there is a good deal of inclination in
that way those times. But 1 am happy
to say, gentlemen, that that inclination
bus not, so far, developed itself about
tho Centenniul. The compensation to
those that are paid, is modorato in the
extreme, whilst many who work hard
got only their unavoidable cxponsos,
and some do not get even theirexHnses.
That is true of John Welsh, tho Presi
dent of the Centennial Board of Fi
nanco, who gave 110,000 besides, and
whoso name is a guarantee of purity
wherever ho rales. 1 bere is no pnrty
purpose about tho Centennial. No
rings of any character. A flor duo pub
lic notice, the contracts have been
awarded to the lowest bidders, and the
cost in every case, is below the estimate.
The department of the exhibition uti
dor the direction of A. T . Gorham, Esq.,
of tho Commission, is being managed
with ability, and with solo rolerence to
the purposes provided for in the laws
of Congress.
I wish I oould dwell on the benefits
ot the exhibition, but my time will not
suffice. If we are to judge by what
tho exhibition of 1851 did ior England
the Centennial Exhibition will be a
a groat thing for the American arlizans
and manufacturers. It will impart,
and they will rocoivo, valuablo lessons.
Wo claim lor the Contennial that it has
already exercised aa educating influ
ence in nil that relates to useful inven
tions and matters that tend to the pro
motion of tbo well-being of mankind.
It has already exerted a harmonizing
influence, as wo all perceive, and thut
influence will bo continued. It is emi
nently a peace measure, and will bo
conducted in the interests of peace and
good will, national and international.
But, gentlemen, bow is tow Hamp
shire to have her part in this glorious
worn r in she iiirnisu nor share as
a State, or will her citizens do so?
Either will bo satisfactory to tho Cen
tennial managers, but they havo a
pressing need for prompt action.
1 he population cl your btntc is d'ja,-
000. The quota, apportioned to you,
under the act ot Congross, was 80,000.
But that was on the basis of ten mill
ions of dollars, and because of the re
duction of the capital and the distanco
to the exhibition grounds 15 cents por
capita, or 45 to 50,000, will bo accepted
as the full sharo of your State ; and I
venture to predict that no man in the
State will object to an investment on
his account of 15 cents in Centennial
stock. And as for tho women, I am
not certain that they will not he in
dignant that such a pittance ia satis
factory, and that with tho chunco of
getting the half or moro back. You
hould also make some provision for a
Commission to handle the exhibition
from this Stato. ' '
With this balance of capital, and
certain things which I am confident
Congress will cbocrf'ully grant in Do
comber next, tho Centennial Celebra
tion will be tho grandest demonstration
of modern times, and in the midst of
tho ceremonies, tho young Republic
will pass out of the twilight of tho first
century of its oxlstonco into the dawn
of the second, surrounded hy'lhc

peaco and good will.
Men or Promise. In one of his lec
ture on educational and intellectual
progress, Mr. James T. Fields, of Bos
ton, with much boldness makes tho as
sertion that no men of extraordinary
firumiso havo graduated from our col
cgos for tho past twenty years. The
truth of tho assertion may well bo
questioned. It depends largely upon
the standard of measurement that is
used. The height of mountains is reck
oned from tho level of the sea, and not
from that of tho plains from which
they rise. Men aro counted grout In
proportion aa tboy tower abovo their
surroundings. Tho seeming srnrcity
of great nient is owing very largely to
tho clevatiou of the general leveled the
masses. Of coutso, thero have been
men in all ages who have been abso
lutely, as well as relatively, great, but
they can almost lie counted upon one's
fingers. Nor is there s grunt an'nd
vaiiUtgo, in having men of extraordi
nary talents in a generation, than their
absence if they are absent is to bo
groatly regretted. Tbo elevation of
the masses is fltr more desirablo than
the elevation of a few individuals far
abovo tho average level. Thi work
of raising tho general grado is making
a grado as heretofore unequalled, and
to it should he turned all tho energies
of tho peoplo, so fur as educational
ctl'ort can accomplish it. Tho groat
men w!!! ?omo when needed they arc
the fruit of emergencies ; but the crea
tion of a Slate w hose citizens shall be
purer, wiser, moro virtuous than their
ancestors, is a work worthy of the best
brains and heart In tho land.

REPUBLICAN,
THE POWER OF QENTLEXESS.
Every one is ready to admit the
charm of gentleness. After a fierce
oncountor with the bluster of tho world.
its conflicting interests, its clashing op
position, noisy passions and turbulent
energy, it is unspeakably refreshing to
turn to the man or woman of tranquil
mind and unruffled temper, whose soft
voice ana gentle manner allays tbo
formont and restores the equilibrium
that bad been destroyed. The sooth
ing influence of gentleness is gratefully
acknowledged, the attractivoness fully
appreciated, and the winning and love
ly nature apparent to all.
Very few, however, of those who
most willingly yield tribute to the
charms ot gentleness ever think of it
as a power. It is so soft, so mild, so
utterly onnoscd to anvthisir like vio
lence or compulsion, that the ideas of
strength, persistence or force seem ut
terly at variance with it it is not un
common to attribute weakness and in
sipidity to one who is habitually genllo
in demeanor, and to accord firmness
and energy only to active persistence
and vehemonca of manner. This is a
groat mistake. Of course, there are
plenty ot slrong characters with rough
and stormy bcanng, and weak ones
with soft and mild deportment; but
there is no necessary connection be
tween tho two. True gcntlenoss is
ever dignified, and is not only consist
ent with stength of character, but
usually results from it Surely, it
takes force of mind and will lo bear
tho troubles of lifo with calmness, to
subduo impatience and murmuring, to
conquer tumultuous emotions, to over
come ovil passions, to bo sell-contninod
in a word to cherish a gentle spirit
Somo of tho strongest natures, with
tho most oxcilnblo temperaments, hav
ing tho fiercost temptations to conquer,
and tho sorest afflictions to enduro,
como, by that very strength, to be tho
most patient and gentle. If any one
succeeds in curbing his inward dispoat.
tion, he finds it comparatively an easy
mnttcr to curb the outward expression,
and tho gentleness that results from a
well-governed and well-poised charac
ter is altogether ditlerent lrom the
mildness of a weak or irresolute nature.
Thero is, however, no bettor proof of a
really weak character than a tumultu
ous or violent demeanor. It betrays
a lack of self-respect and dignity, and
a fear that others may discover it
The greatest man will ever be the gen
tlest, for ho needs not to employ forci
ble and arrogant measures to impress
tho world with his mont.
The chiof powor of gcntloncss, how-
evor, lies in its influence over others.
It is not only a passive effect but an
activo agency. Tboro is scarcely a
stronger ono in tho whole human cate
gory. Thero is no idea more common,
and" yet more mistaken, than that
authority must bo maintained by stern-
noss and severity. Continually do we
nnd tho parent, the teacher, tho em
ployer, or tho officer, avoiding all gen
tleness in their behavior to those undor
them, undor the doluslon that thus only
can they prrservo their supremacy and
ooedionce. un tne contrary tno sub
mission thus gained is only that of the
letter, not tho spirit It is unwilling,
forced and tomporary, whereas the
gentle and respectful mannorthnt hon
ors tho individual ovon while com
manding him. will insnro a clad ac
quiescence and a grateful fidelity. If
there are any who are specially en
titled to gentle treatment it is those
we aro pleased to call inferiors, cither
in ngo, education, station or circum
stances. They aro peculiarly suscep
tible to unkisdncHS and indifference;
they aro in a measure dependont upon
us tor their happiness, and they natur
ally look to us lor an example to fol
low in their treatmont of others. No
thoughtful nnd generous man or wo
man will suffer rough, careless and un
kind words to pass their liM in such
intercourse. Gentle and considerate
conduct will induce far more valuablo
service than any harsh authority can
compel, for the one can influence tho
mainsprings of all actions by awaking
love and gratitude, whilo tho other can
only obtain a sullen and reluctant per
formance of compulsory tasks.
'Tho chief superiority of gentleness,
as a power in tho world, lies in the
fact that it affects the heart, and
through it the actions, instead of aim-,
ing directly at the actions themselves,
(ientlencss flavors strongly of sym
pathy, and prepares the one thus treated
to receivo in good part whatever Is
ollercd. indeed the manner is oilen
more important oven than the matter ;
a favor may mnko an enemy and a
conflict may mnko a lriend, according
to tho manner in which they are each
conductod. Whoever would wield an
influence ovor another will bestsucoced
by a constantly gentle and smypathelio
manner, for thus only can he win over
his cordial and friondly regard. Gen
tleness is also an important power in
increasing hiimnn happiness. If any
ono doubt this, let him compare tho
household where it reigns with that to
which it is a stranger. In tho one will
bo patience, forbearance, gratitudo and
love; in the other frelfulnosa, disputes,
jealousies and heart-burnings. Chil
dren should bo brought up In an atmos
phere of gentleness ana atTeotion.
Their horn life is their greatest edu
cator, and its influence wilt attend them
through all subsequent years. It they
meet with a uniform and dignified
gentleness of deportment at homo, they
will insensibly carry it uln-oad, and
thus through tho rising generation may
the powor as well as the oharm of gen
tleness ho most fully and widoly de
veloped. The Last Link. The Now Orleans

In his excellent address at Brown
University, ex-Governor Bullock re
minded his young listeners of a fact
which in these anniversary days the
country Is in danger of forgetting. It
has always been tho fashion to talk ol
tho American revolution as a spontane
ous we might almost say an unpre
meditatedrising of the people againat
an unjust and oppressive government
Because the colonics were sustained
through those trying times by
such a general spirit of self-sacrifice
and patriotism, because some of their
nest commanders were taken lrom tne
plow and the forgo, and so few of Ihoir
statesmen were "persons of quality,
wo are apt to imagine that our foro-
lathers bad no other inspiration tuan
their own inborn love of liberty, and
no loader excopt those whom the peo
plo picked out of their own multitude
and thrust into the foremost rank.
This is the idea which the Fourth of
July oratory of the last fifty years baa
sedulously encouraged. But cx-gov.
linllock was at pains to show that the
origin of the American revolution was
not the fortuitous concurrence ot an
excited people, but the deliberate, earn
est work ot leaders not moro eminent

for high culture and nativo force of
niinu. A better combined array oi

to discover. There is a theory that

1 do not so read our own or any other

gathoring on Breed' Hill, but Warren,
the Adamses, Franklin, Otis, Quincy,
Wmthrop, Kutlcdgo, Ifamloipn, the
Lees, Jefferson, Gndsdcn, and others,
in town meetings, clubs, and private
parlors, were, in the truest sense of
the word, lenders ot this great move
ment, marching in advance, and some
times fur in advance, of tho rost of the
peoplo.
Sucb were tho men wtio took tbe

may be pardoned il we look around
in dismay upon those who seem to
have usiiryod their places. In tho
celebration last week at Bunker Hill,
when the bust blood of Amorica ought
to 'have been stirred to activity, no
statesman or scholar of national repu
tation wits soon at the front, and il
was General H. F. Butler who led the
procession. I he popular leador, in the
political theories ol tbe present day, is

ple need constant direction lrom "tho
highost minds," and our Government
intrust this delicate function, not to
tho modern Adamses, Olises, and War
rens, but to tho village postmaster or
the doputy marshal, who havo bought
their offices by services In the primary
mootlngs and conventions which are
better understood than described. We
act as if wo fancied that an infectious
aroma of patriotism exhaled from tho
man-nags, or tbe truo school ot states
manship survived only among the ioud
voicod politicians who sit witk their
feet on the stove and spit tobacco all
day in a aand box belonging to tho
United Slates. More than half the

from this base class, and the Senate itself
seems to have been sinking hy degrees
to tbo samo vulgar level. If a mem

TYXDALVS GLOVE LIFTED.
There is a sect in England called the
"Peculiar People." Their peculiarity
consists in the fact that they believe
the Aposlle James meant exactly what
be said when bo wrote : "is any sick
among youT Let him call for the
ciders of tho church and let them pray
over him, anointing him with oil in
the name of the Lord, and tbe prayer
of faith shall save the sick, and the
Lord shall raise him up." Believing
that these words and this promise is to
bo understood in their plain, natural
sense, and not spiritualized away by
ingonious explanations till tbey mean
nothing at all, those peculiar peoplo
use no worldly medicine, nol even
vaccinating themselves, but having
tnith in the virtue ot prayer and on to
save the sick. Exhibiting their faith
by their works, thoy aro about to erect
a hospital in London, where no modi
cine but nrnvor and oil shall bo used
They thus boldly accent Prof. Ty ndall's
challenge to make a test ot the emcacy
or prayer to heal tbo sick, in tbe very
manner he proposed. They take up
the gauntlet which the vnpeculiar re
ligious world was too timid, or too
wanting in faith, to lift, which by a
curious train of reasoning it even con
vinced itself it wonld be insulting to
God to tako up, though in tbe passage
we havo quoted the apostle seems to
tell it that it should do just what Pro
fessor Tyndnll asked il to do. Tho
t'cculiar 1'eople have accepted the
challenge ; and though we may not
havo all their faith in the result of tho
experiment, wo are inclined lo believe
thut they will not make such a fniluro
as Professor Tyndall may expect It
is related that throe hospitals in Paris,
one conducted by the allapathic physi
cians, one by the homoopatbisls, and

WHAT HA' On'JT CHILD REX.
All our lives we have been hearing
or the debt children owe their parents;
do wo think enough of what parents
owo tbeir children ? This ia really by
farthogroatnrquestion. We owe them
harmonious organizations, favorable
conditions, a true development; but
this is not all. Asido from theso thigs
we owe them a debt boyond our powor
to estimate, if they need us materially
we no less need them spiritually. W o
pity tho man or woman who can spend
an hour with a little child and not bo
mado wiser. Children utter the only
oracles, and aro the most truly Inspired,
because tho most unconscious of teach
ers. By the directness and simplicity
of their questions, they rebuke our pre
lonco and artificiality, constantly re
minding us how much there is wo do
not know ; by tho play of their fancy
and tho buoyoncy of their spirits tbey
banish our despair.
We aro indented to our children for
constant incentives to noblo living ; for
the perielual reminder that wo do not
live to ourselves alone ; for thoir aakos
wo are admonished to put from us tho
debasing appetite, the unworthy im
pulse, to gather into our lives ever'
noblo ami beroio quality, every tender
and attractive grace. Wo owe them
gratitude for the datk hours which
thoir presence hns brightened ; for the
helplessness and dojiendcuco which
have won u from ourselves ; for the
faith and trust which It is evermore
their mission to renew ; for their kisses
on chocks wot with loan, and on brows
that, but for that caressing, bad fur
rowed Into frowns. We bless them
for tbe child-world which they keep
open to ua the truo fairy-land, where
all that we once hoped and dreamed is
still possible ; the paradise of humanity,
which they perpetually dross and koep:
a paradise which, ipito of the angei
with the scythe and hour glsss who
