The Book of Leviticus, to which we now come, has been called the "tiguru tive exhibition of the way of salvation." In Exodus we have been told of Israel's redemption and separation to be God's peculiar people. We are now to learn by n aeries of symbols how they were to approach God, and appreciate hia grace and favor. The study ought to prove interesting and profitable. It will help ua to understand much that will other wise be obscure in New Testament nl lusiona to offerings and sacrifices. No doubt the saying is true, that "one rea son why many have no better acquaint ance with Christ and his Apostles is be cause they are such strungers with Moses and Aaron." Respecting the origin of sacrifices we have no explicit revelation. It is not surprising, therefore, that on this point there is a variety of opinions. Home have supposed they originated in an express command of God, and others that they were first dictated by human impulse. But it is very certain that they had the divine sanction. Explicit directions were given concerning them; and they were unquestionably made types of that one great sscrifice in which Christ was at once victim and priest. Of the different kinds of sacrifices the most important were the burnt offering, the peace-ottering and the sin-offering and trespass-offering. These all had some things in common; all were gifts to God and answered the purpose of worship, and all. too, were meant to atone lor sin. This last point is well worth remembering. Whatever was true of other offerings, aa of tb>ur, oil and wine, into every sacrifice of animal life, every offering of blood, there en tered the idea of atonement. First and last, and always, at all times, and even in all duties. mm is a sinner. His most constant/ and primary need is of a "cov- M'jny/lor sin,"juit that which in Old Testament usuage meant by the word atonement. Con>e<juentljr, in the burnt and peace, as well as in the sin and trespass offerings, tiere was first of all the pouring out of tapod for the hiding of sin. Further, it sQnuld be rembered that offerings of the earth's fiuits never went alone. Blood-nffefing* always with these. How impressively are wo thus reminded that it isoidytas a sinner that ; man can ever approach hit Maker ; and as a sinner he must have' Home atoning offering to present, or to plead. This is a point to be emphasised. Without the remission of sin there is no enjoy ment of the divine favor: and "with out the shedding of blood there is no remission." Of this old truth we can not afford to lose sight. It is at the foundations of solid Christian hope. But, besides that which tbey signified in common, each of these principal sac- . rifices had an idea peculiar to itself. What this was in the ca of the burnt offuring is indicated by ita name. In ita derivation this signifies "ascending." The whole victim was congijfhM Jjoon the altar, and sc£nile<l as a sweet safbl* before bim. It thus symbolized entire' surrender to God. As the regular morn ing and evening sacrifice—first in the tabernacle and afterwards in the tern- j pie—it was the daily consecration of the nation. Brought by the individual, it signified bis own personal self-dedica tion. The animal was to be the best of its kind, that it might be a perfect of fering. It was to be an ox, or lamb, or goat, or pigeon, according to the offer er's means ; for it is required of a nun according to thst which he bath, and not according to that which he hath not. Then the offerer laid his hand upon the victim's bead, in token that he made it bis representative. It was to represent him in the (touring out of its life for sin, "for it is the blood that maketh atonement for the soul" (17: li). And It was also to represent bitn aa it ascended in smoke from the sltsr. This may seem a faint and insufficient emblem of self surrender. And so it was; and yet none could be more im presaire to the mind of the early wor shipper. It was a "whole burnt-offer ing: every part of the victim was con sumed. And so the devout offerer, so far as his act was intelligent and sin cere, surrendered in it his entire being —body, soul and spirit. And it was ibis spirit of penitent and trusting con secration which made the sacrifice a "sweet savor" to God. "Man rising above the earth and mounting heaven wards is, iti all ages, the fulfilling of our heavenly Father s will, and was the les son of this the earlieat form of sacri fice." It should perhaps be said that some excellent writers, of whom Murphy is one, have supposed that in this offering the burning of the entire victim was intended to signify the fullness of the atonement made for sin, and that the idea of self-consecration did not enter into it; but such is not the prevailing view. rascTtcat. scoobstiohs. 1. No right-minded person can desire to approach God empty handed ; tba spontaneous impulse of bis heart is to "bring an offering unto the Lord." 2. God early made it plain that be will accept only the best. Oar choicest possessions must be looked upon as be longing to binv Some persons give to him only such as they cannot use for themselves, or the pittance left after ■elf indulgence. "Offer it now unto thy gorernor, will he be pleased with thee!" S. An essential condition of every ac ceptable sacrifice was that it should be of the giver's "own voluntary will." It is the heart there is in it which HR feg Ik > makes anything we bring to God, or do for hint, pleasing to him. 4. God lava no oppressive burdena upon u. IloaocepU the turtledove, ir that ia all we have to bring. But he ia not pleased with amnll gift* if we are able to giro tnore. 5. All theae transactions at the altara of sacrifice mean nothing if man ia not a sinner in God'a aight, and without hope, save aa somehow atonement i made for hia sin. 6. Nor did these sacrifices mean any thing if it ia not in God'a heart to save the ainner. This great and cheering truth ia doubly plain to us, since, in .leaua Christ hia own dear Son, God has himself provided for us a spotless lamb of priceless value, and by hia one offer ing on the cross haa made an atone ment adequate for ua all. 7. In the ancient sacrifice every man wiia to bring liia own ox. or lamb, or pigeon, and offer it for himself. Ihe sinner has now only to make the one perfect sacrifice of Christ his own by an act of appropriating faitb. Hut this he certainly mutt do. 8. Atonement for sin and self surren der to God went together in the burnt offering. So they must in our approach es to God. I'.y appropriating faith in the blood of Jesus, and self dedication of body, soul and spirit, we come into relations of peace and newness of life with him. Hut this is not an act done just once for all. The burnt offering was a morning and evening sacrifice. Daiiv we have need to plead the work of Christ, for the pardon of daily sins. And there ia no day when we do not have occasion to renew our self surren der to him. OI KSTIONS ANSIVEKKB. Snmt Isyal Information for Xrar!</ Every Mam fit ami Uuwarrird. lh PUiU<telphl* The series of articles on wills nn<l the legnl relations of married women, which has recently appeared in these columns, has occasioned u number of questions to be sent to the ledger. home of the-e ate grouped iu the re plies given below: "A married woman, resident in Pennsylvania," owns several bouses, the rents of which she desires to leave to her husband for life, so as to bo secure from his present or future cred itors; after his death she wishes the property to go to another person. Answer —Bhe ran do this by a prop erly drawn will, but the clause which will secure the income from being at tached by her husband's creditors must be carefully drawn by a lawyer. The form of words which she propose# is not sufficient. The Ledger cannot give a long form of will, such as would He necessary to effect her pur (rose. She should go to a trustworthy awver. "An old Subscriber" asks "What is meant by married women's earning ? Does it mean that she can claim her own earnings, and do whatever she likes with them, and at the same time the husband will bo responsible for everything, in the broad sense of the , term? Again, if a mail's wife lends money, or buys bonds or property \ with money which has been earned by \ her and her husband since their mar- j riage, cannot be claim such money, ] fronds or property, the wife not having I filed her petition?" Here are two questions. To the first we answer that, j if the wife has filed her petition, under the Act of Assembly, as set forth in tIV article on the earnings i f married vwhejyn the ledger of U2, -be lA' claim hen. | tfitfdPßhe husband is responsible for j the maintenance of the family. If, Jiowever, she contracts debts for neces | snries and the husband has no means i to pay for them, the tradesmen who | have furnished her with these necessa ries can recover the debt from her. | The Law of Necessaries will probably receive early aitcution in the ledger. ' Secondly, money earned by the mar ried pair, and bonds or property bought with <hnt money belong in general to the husband, especially if I the wife has not filed her petition un der the act; hut if the money has ; ben invested or lout in the wife's name, there is a presumption that the husband has given it to her, and he must meet that presumption by show ing that the investments was so made only for purposes of convenience. A number of iawsuits have arisen under such circumstances. It must he al ways remembered that a husband may give to his wife and n wife to her hus "Justice" puts the following case: ) "Mr. C., at (lis death, leaves a house I and lot hy will to each of his daugh j ters. After coming into possession of j her property one of the daughters I marries, but has no children. Can ' she make a valid will, and dispose of ! the propcuty against the wishes of her | husband, who survives her?" Answer. —Her husband has a life | estate in the bouse and lot, of which • she cannot deprive him hy will ; but, | after his death, the real estate will go to the person to whom it is given in her will. We take it for granted, as the question is put, that the gift to the daughter was absolute —not in trust and not for her life only "8. D. II." asks what the law is "in reference to the disposition of the property, real and personal, of a man who dies intestate, leaving only his widow; never having ban any chil dren ; and also the same in the case of the death of a wife possessed of property who leaves only tier husband to survivo her, never having had any children. Answer.—lf the intestate has col i lateral relations, the widow will take lone-half of the real estate for life, j and one-half of tbo personal estate I Thn uirei aincr hilahand i will tuko the whole of tho personalty nnd n life estate in the realty. If the intestate leaves no relations whatever, the widow or surviving husband will lake everything. This answer covers several other inquiries by different correspondents. "M. desires to know how the estate of u woman who dies intestate will be divided, and what effect it will have if mortgages are in the husband's name for convenience sake. Answer. —1. Her husband will take the real mlate for life, with remainder to her children, ami a child'e ehare of the |M'rsoualty. If she leaves four children, for instance, he will get one fifth ; if hut one, he will get one-half. 2. If the mortgages can be proved to lie in his name for convenience only, they will he distributed like the rest of the personalty ; but this must be clearly shown. "Jt. H. T." asks whether a married woman can make aw ill cutting off her husband from all interests in her prop erty. Answer.—No. He can takeaguinst her will just what she could tnke ngainst his, that is, if there he a child, one-third of the realty for life and one-third of the personalty absolutely; or, if lie prefer, he cati take the whole real estate for his life. We have ex plained just above what he would take if she died intestate. RAKE HONESTY. An instance of remarkable honesty nml fidelity bus just been made pub lic, which rivals in interest any olden legend or any tale of the Arabian Night*. The characters arc well known in Santa liar barn ami Ventura coun ties, ami the name# figure conspicu ously in Southern California history. The thread of the story, briefly stated, is as follows: Nearly twenty year* ago one of the wealthy ladies of I/os Angeles county, tiuding herself nigh unto death, made a very unusual provision for her only daughter, then an infant. She in trusted to one of her dear lad v friends a verv large amount of jewelry and valuables, which the friend was to keep until the child grew to woman hood and married. On her wedding day the mother's gift was to be given the daughter, but until then the most profound secrecy wit* to lie maintained regarding the existence of the legacy. There was a magnificent pearl and diamond neck lace, whose value was not less than ten thousand dollars. There were quantities of massive silver and gold plate; there were large solitaire dia mond ring* ; there were ornaments so rich and rare they would have honor ed the dindein of a queen. The most costly wardrobe* of silk and satin and fine lace were among the treasure# which were confided to this friend, and with the rest was the very wedding robe which the mother had worn ar she stood before the altar. It was the mother's request that the daughter lie marrietl in the same robe. And so the mother died, and the earnest kiss which the devoted friend pressed upon the naliil brow wa< the seal of a vow of fidelity. The wealth ty Spanish father may have wondered w hat disposition hi* wife made of her treasures, but, if so, he never gave ex pression to hi* thoughts. Time rolled on, and the little orphan efrJJd became a sweet, graceful girl. MijSbtime the father removed to Santa Barbara, and the tide of fortune turn ed from his door and led him almost penniless. Misfortune, too, had visit ed the household of the friend, and her vat estates became involved, and poverty crept close to her fireside. She had a son whose talents gave promise of a brilliant career. Her very life was wrapped up iu his fu ture. There was a time when the trust confided to her keeping would have been sufficient to have saved her from bankruptcy. There was not a living soul who knew of the existence of the treasures. From time to time the great chests had to be opened and the rich robes and lace* cared for, lest moths or dust, or time mar the delicate fabrics. Yet never once did this faithful friend falter. Reversals came, poverty came, and many bright hopes vanished, but the treasures were pre served. Tho girl grew to be a beautiful voung lady, and in due time became betrothed to a young gentleman of Eond business prospects, and who is ighly respected in the community. The wedding occurred a short time ago, aud was largely attended. The bride's attire was so rich and elegant that it attracted universal admiration, but none guessed that it was the mother's wedding robe so mysteriously preserved and so faithfully presented. All the treasures, to the value of many thousand of dollars, were scru pulously delivered to the new bride, and are now safely deposited in one of our city banks. The faithful friend is now living in Ventura county. Her son has Is-vn a member of the Legislature, and is one ot the most prominent young men in Southern California. 1 "IK I was as bald as yon," said (Jus De Smith to one of the most promi nent citizen# of Austin, "I would wear a wig." "I don't sec why you should ever wear a wig," was the quiet response, "an empty barn don't need any roof." Texa* filling*. THE man at the telephone office al ways has a "holier back." TIIE FUTURE MOTOIMHMVEK. The steam engine that has been tho means of revolutionizing manufactur ing and transportation, was spoken of with a good ileal of disparagement by several of the members of the British Association for tho Advancement of Hcicuce at the late meeting at Hath. Nearly every jierson who spoke on the subject gave it a had name. It was stated tliut it was exneusive to build, costly to run, difficult to keep in re puir, dangerous to life aud property, cumbersome, productive of dirt and noise, and not adapted to many pur poses where a motor is required. In the opinion of some, the steam engine had had its day, and played its part, and was now ready ty be put in a museum of curiosities. They think it is behind the times, and that it should give place to something better. These scientific men of Great Brit ain object to thesteum engine l>ecause it does not meet the wants of the pres ent fast age ; because it spends too much force for the result it accom plishes, and for the additional reason tlmt it is fast consuming the coal that will be wanted for heating purposes. They want a better force, more loco motion, quicker travel, less expense and greater security. They want something that will protiel canoes as well as ships ; that will run sewing machines as well as trip-harumcrs; that will draw pleasure carriages as well as railway cars. Thcv desire a motor that will not consume fuel, pro duce smoke, or cause noise ; that can he managed by a child and run if de sired in a parlor. They want some thing that will do all the steam engine does and many things besides. In the opiuion of most of the sci entists of Groat Britian electricity is to take the place of steam in driving machinery and moving cars, and it is to lie generated by the action of tides, winds and falling water. They pre dict that wind-power will lie utilized to a greater extent than any person* in a previous age ever believed it would. Wind will generate electricity for moving tnachiuerv. for lighting street*, and warming dwellings iu Ire land, Belgium, Ik-umark and other countries where there are few streams that aflbrd wrater-power. The move ment of the tides will produce the same effects in most eouutrics that have an extensive sea coast, while the fall of water in rivers and streams will generate electricity in ail mountain region*. The great electrical exhibition at Paris is doing much to draw attention to what is called the motor-power of the future. A picture called "The tjucen of the Nineteenth Century" hangs in many of the shop window*. It i* a female figure surrounded with a halo, and emitting rays of light from the hands, which are raised as if to enable the being to fly. The light gives the arms the appearance of wings. The artist is an enthusiast, and is regarded by many as a prophet. We all hope that his fair predictions may be realized. The steam engine is a good thing, hut we are ready for something better. Now that atten tion is drawn to electricity, great re sults may be expected. A MAItI! VI Mi AVII>OW. An Kric special the Cleveland lend er *ay that a genuine comedy in real life was played here yesterday. Mrs. Frances Kennedy is a buxom young widow twenty five years old. Her hus band died about a year ago from a fall. Six months ago William Cutu rning came courting her, ami his at tentions not Wing distasteful to the widow, she finally consented to marry him iu twelve months and a day frotn the date of her first husband's death. The happy day fell on Wednesday, ami the ceremony was to take place at the bride's house. A magnificent wed ding feast was prepared, and about sixty guests were invited to partake of it. The hour appointed for the mar riage was set for (J P. M. In the fore noon the bridegroom-elect arrayed himself in his best and went ofT to in vite a few friends in the country who had been forgotten. The afternoon mail brought a postal card from him, stating that he had conscientious scru ples anout marrying a woman so re cently widowed. He would make it a matter of prayer, and would abide the result of his feelings when through. She was not to take this as a positive declination to marry, but if he did not arrive at ft o'clock P. u., she might consider the marriage ofT. Mrs. Kennedy did not faint or go into hysterics, but she decked herself in her bridal robes, and smilingly re ceived the guests bidden to the feast. When the minister and all those with wedding garments had arrived, the lady called the meeting to order and read the recreant Cummings' card. Loud and prolonged were the de nunciations of the absent groom's con duct. "This need not prevent the feast," said Mrs. Kennedy, and the guests fell to banqueting immediately. After supper the room was cleared for danc ing, and Mr. Washington Williams, an elderlv bachelor, led the gcrman with the bride. He became so enam ored of ber that within an hour he proposed and was accepted. The min ister was recalled, and at 11 P. M., Mrs. Kennedy was made Mrs. Wash ington Williams. The marriage had scarcely been performed when the door bell was rung violently, and in stalked the conscientious Cummiugs, He had wrestled in prayer with the question, and had concluded to come back and marry. After being intro duced to Mrs. Williams it was gently intimated to the broken up Cummings that the lateness of the hour suggested the propriety of his going. Miss limner. A rtOIITINO IEM AI.E MAIL CAIIKIER—BEATS A MAM EON INSULTINO IIEE —ills NL'USEQI'ENT DEA7II. Nkw Yobk, Oct. I.— The truth con cerning the tragic death of George K. Met'leilan, an itinerant photographer from Syracuse, is as follows: Accord ing to the latent developments, lie had been at Port Washington, I>ong Island Hound, with a partner, driving around the country with a photograph wagon, doing a good husiuess. Both made their headquarter* at Hull's hotel. His partner collected and decamped last Tuesday a week with 81,000 la.- longing to the firm. McC'lellau be came despondent and took to drinking heavily. He left Port Washington at ] 1 o'clock last Saturday morning much intoxicated. That afternoon Miss Hu lls Bruner, aged 22, a strong woman, who curries the mail in a light wagon hetween Port Washington and Great Neck, while en route, met McG'lellan one mile south of Mauha**et. He would not let her pass, and crossed the road several times iu front of her, with his team, to prevent her getting ahead. Becoming impatient, Miss Bruner drove alongside, and McClellan man aged his team so as to force her vihielfl into a ditch at the farm of F. B. Davis. He then insulted her and a light ensued. Miss Bruner allighted and attacked liiin with a heavy whip, using the but of the same ou his head and face uufil he gave up the contest. She then went ou. When she reached Great Neck she gave an account of the occurrence to the post-office offi cials. saying she had never before seen McClellan, and that although he was drlink be knew perfectly well what he was about. The next morning, near the scene of the fight, McClellan'* wagon was found standing in the road he hanging over the da*h-t>oard, appa rently in a d runic en stupor. On nion day morning McClellan was found ly iusensible in the road beside his wagon, near Flushing, his face covered with cuts and bruises, and he was taken to the Flushing lock-up for a drunk, and remained unconscious until Wednes day, when he died. On Hundav afternoon McClellan was seen in Maha**ct, wheu he told the pot master there of the beating Miss Bruner gave him. A man known by the alias of "I'rct tr Pat," a rough customer of Great Seek, was seen with McClellan on Saturday afternoon subsequent to the whipping by Miss Bruner. Persons have also been found who say that McClellan bad the marks on his face when he left Port Washington. An inquest will he held at Flush ing on Monday. There is much ex citement, and it is uncertain whether or not the immediate cause of death was the heating given bv Miss Bruner. She is a very respectable, hard-work ing girl and is upheld by the com munity. A Water Filter. Serious sickness would often be averted from the household if, among other sanitary regulations, none but filtered water was drunk bv the mem bers. Water may look ami taste like the purest, and still contain disease germs that we would retreat from with horror if tbev but nrmentod themselves duly labelled. Wells, cis terns and springs that occupy ground lower than that of drains, vault*, cr barnyards withiu a hundred feet or more, should be regarded with suspi cion no matter how 'splendid' the wa ter may appear. A good and efficient filter may be made iu this way : Take a cask, re move one end and set it upright, the open end at the top. At one-third of the distauce from the Uittoin place a round partition pierced with small holes. On this arrange a later of clean small pebbles, ami over them a layer of charcoal and another of sand, topping it over with more pebbles. Over this put another partition with holes in it, or a layer of good sii'd stones to prevent the pebbles from being disturbed when the water is C>ured in. A faucet is placed in the >ttoro to draw off tie water. A pail of water and a lump of ice in the top of the cask ami closely covered, sup plica the perfection of drinking water for twenty-four hours.

The great Suiro tunnel, rut to re lieve the celebrated Cotastock mine* at Virginia Citjr, Nevada, of the vast I quantity of hot water which is en i countered in them, afford* an outlet to 12,000 tone every twenty-four hours, or about 3,000,000 gallons. Some of the water a- it find* iu way into the mines, ha* a temperature of 19.5 de grew, while four miles from the mouth of the tunnel the tem|>erature ranges 130 to 13.5 degrees. To obviate Die iuconveniencc which would arise from the vapor such a vast quantity of water would give off, the flow is con ducted through the entire tunnel, four miles, iu a tight flume made of pine. At the point of exit the water has lost but seven degrees of heat. Sixty feet below the mouth of the tunnel the hot water is utilized for turning machinery belonging to the company, from hence it is carried off by a tun nel 1.100 feet in length, which serves as a water-way. Leaving the waste way tunnel the water flows to the Car son river, a mile and a half distant. This hot water is being utilized for many purpose*. The boys have ar ranged several pools where they indulge in hot baths. The miner* and others use it for laundry purposes, and ar rangement* are being made whereby a thousand acres belonging to the company is to be irrigated. It is pro posed to conduct the hot water through iron pipes, beneath the surface of the soil near the roots of thousands of fruit trees which are to be planted, and in a similar manner give the necessary warmth to a number of hot houses to be used for the propagation of early fruits and vegetables. Weather Wisdom. When you wish to know what the weather is to bo, go out and select the smallest cloud you see. Keep your ere upon it, and if it decreases and disappears it shows a state of the air which is sure to be followed by dry weather; hut if it increases in site, take your great coat with you if you are going from home, for (ailing weather is not far off. The reason is this: When the air is becoming charg ed with electricity you wtll aee every cloud attracting all lesser ones to wards it, until it gathers into a show er ; and, on the contrary, when the fluid is passing off, or diffusing itself, then a large cloud will he seen break ing into pieces and dissolving.
