HEAVEN A PLAQE..
BY REV. T. imaire WEAVER.
The hope of 'joy beyond the grave
has always invited God's people heav
enward. The fear of hell and its woes
has'inspired many to seek a more de
sirable home, and to look upward for
comfort and consolation. God in
His Word appeals to .these two ele
ments of 0.. r nature, hope and fear.
He seeks to *fun* hope into, the soul
by desciiiing a world Of Onteld.rap
tures, of unde _eying beauty, and of
eternal glory. He seeks to warn by
describing • a world of anguish, of
pain, and.of eternal woe, the prison
house of God, where deathless 'souls
are detained forever ; the headquar
ters of the arch-fiend of night ; the
certain dwelling-place of all Who bar
ter away that immortal part of them
and sell thenisehis for naught: This
God invites by holding out a reward,
and persuades by declaring a penal
ty. If the Gospel held out an incen
tive merely without revealing the ter
rors of the Lord, it would have but
a week convicting power. It .is .the
irrevocability and the severity of the
law that_ makes, men tremble, 0,
that men were as interested in their
own salvation as heaven and 'angels_
are to save them ! Heaven by its
joys invites, angels shout when a wan
derer returns, Jesus waits to wel
come, and the Father loves. to for
give. Every man is interested. in
anything which lights up his path
way beyond the tomb: Age chills
and palsies the strongest frame, sick
ness completes the work of destrilc
.tion, and we lay, down to die. Per
haps there is ndquestion which takes
a firmer hold upon us than this :
What shall we be in the future world?
If lie are to live, what will be the na
ture of that life? In order to throw
Some light, upon this question, let us
consider heaven as a place. I believe
the Bible authorizes mo to say that
heaven is somewhere, and that it ie
something when I get there.
Analogy seems to anger that heft,-
en is a place, and is situated smite
where. There have beenfin all ages
special hicalities, which liiive been re
garded as the peculiar dwelling-place
of God. A church consecrated to
the service of Christ is a sacred spot,
because it is a place where He delights
to meet His people. God has often
manifested Himself locally unto men.
When He appeared unto Adam at the
fall in the Garden, it was a local man
ifestation. When He appeared to
3loses at the burning bush,He talk
ed with him, and locally manifested
Himself there... Why, then, cannot
Hereanifest Himstllf locally. in heav
en ?
The Bible speaks expressly of heav
en at a place. The Savior said, " I
go to prepare a place for you." He
did not eo to prepare a vacuum of
space. that was already prepared ;
but He went to fit up and locate a
place, having foundations in space.
He aid not go to prepare something
that cannot be seen, a mere empty
heaven of air, but to prepare a place
where we Can dwell forever. The Bi
ble speaks of principalities and pow
ers in heavenly places.—Eph. 3:10.
Not, powers somewhere and nowhere
after all, but powers in places, point
ing clearly to a local heaven. The
plural, places, seems to indicate that
there are different apartments in this
local heaven. I have often express.:
ed the opinion, that we have too much
Spirit mixed up with our theology
-beyond the grave. Everything is
spirit,. but I want to be somebody in
heaven. With one when I get there,
I want to be able to take my latitude
and longitude. All the figurative
representations of this land go to es
tablish the positron that heaven is a
place. Paradise was a place ; it was
located ; it had bounds and position.
This is used as a figure of the eternal
abode of the _saints. Why, then, has
not the heavenly Paradise boundaries
and position ? Unless this bo true,
I cannot discover any propriety in
the figure. Unless there is some an
alogy between the earthly and the
heavenly Paradise, upon what ground
is the comparison 'made ? In He
brews, 11:16, we have this passage :
" But now they desired better;Coun
try, that is, an heavenly ;* wherefore .
God is not ashamed to be called their
God.; for he hath prepared for them,
a city." This passage speaks of heav e
A.
en as a country. ' country ha s
, bounds, position, arida center..Heav-,
en is a better country ; unless, then;
it has bounds, position, and a center;
upon what 'principle is the figure '
used? . The only difference sspeolded,
between the earthly and the
ly Canaan, is, that the heavenly is a
more delightsome Icannot
believe that God uses something to
figure nothing. A country is'. some
thing of which we Can have a C0116131) 1
tion. and it must be that heaven is it
country of which We.can have some
feeble conceptions at least. An an

twin, and showed him the heitienly

Christ has promised when he
manes to take us with himself. He
is not to come and dwell with us, but
we are to go and dwell with him.
The foundations of heaven are not to
be relayed. The city is all prepared
and furnished. 'Are they to pull up
the [dukes; tear down the walls, des
troy the gates, and bring heaven down
to our earth and refit it for the occu
pation ot the saints? • The dimen
sions of *yen, as given by the Bev- ;
clator, do • not correspond with the
size of our earth. Our globe is round
and the New Jerusalem lies four
square Christ tells us to lay up our
treasures in heaven, .and not upon
the earth. ,There is, then, a heaven,
and we shall enter it to enjoy th ose
treasures which are there deposited:
While Abraham . was sojourning in
the land of promise, dwelling in ta
bernacles, he was looking for anoth
er city which bath .foundations, and
which was builded by the Architect
Of the skies. He did not , expect to
inherit the promised land forever,
but regarded it as ,typicel of a better
country and a happier home. This
earth is to be destroyed and a new
one formed, which will interfere with
the calculations of those who expect
to enjoy the farms which they are
here laboring to cultivate and im
prove.
Peter says, " By the resurrection of
Jesus Christ from the dead, we are
begotten to an inheritance incorrupti
ble, undefiled, and that fadeth not
away, reserved in 'heaven for us."
There is, then, a heaven now, all fit
ted up, and held in reservation for
those who are crowned victors through
the blood of the Lamb. Paul says in
Colossians, 1:3, "That we have a hope
which is laid up in heaven." Again
in Hebrews, 10:34, "In heaven we
have a better and more enduring sub
stance." These passages establish
the position of a heaven now in readi
ness, and that it is a place. If there
is substance there it must be a place,
for substance must have position. No
or.e doubts but that the angels live
in heaven. Christians have the prom-,
ise of being like the angels after the
resurrection The plain meaning of
this is that we ere to enjoy the same
heaven, and be associated with them.
If we are with them, we must dwell
in heaven where they are.
Isaiah gives the righteous the prom
ise of dwelling on high. This must
me.an beyond the 'Stan" , skies, and
not upon this trembling world. Chris
tians are represented as having citi
zenship in heaven. " For our conver
sation is in heaven, from whence we
look also for the Savior, the Lord Je
sus Christ."—Ph il. 3:20. The word
conversation is polituma in the Greek,
and means enfranchisement. •
Paul had visited the third heaven,
but he did not know whether be Was
in or out of the body while there, and
in writing td, the Phillipians he as
sures them'of citizenship there.
At the judgment the good are to
be caught up above the world,, and
are there to be forever with the Lord.
How, then, are- they to . become citi
zens of the earth ? St: Stephen, when
dying, had a, view of the panorama of
hekven. He did not look downward
to the earth; nor about him to see it,
but . the Bible says ho looked' up.,

The mere fact that I did not' say
anything last , week, must not be con
*Anted to indicate that I. hadn't . any
thing to , say—far ,from it. I
.. some
times think that I say too-nnich. It
is often a trixitful source of cOngiattt
latkon to me that now as I =lapsing
into a state of dotage, there is one
situation in which I am placed axes
iontdly where circumstances render it
impossible for one to commis the im
propriety of saying too mach,'—l
mean when I get into , the .soeiety of
some females-410y don't give nen,a
chance ,to sin in that direction.,
I don't know but I omit • to beg
pardon for hot manifesting myself in
some shape last week. But I got a'
letter from a person styling herself
mine "truly and affectionately," which
I felt solemnly impressed that I must
answer. It was from a girl that bad
given me' the, mitten twenty-seven
years ago, when, if the facts of tbe
case were known, •I really wanted
to go home with, her from _.a corn
haking. She wrote principally to
inqiiire after the health of my moth
er, (whom she never saw, and kiiiiv
it). •This feiriale is like myseif now,
none the worse for a c -pious diurnal
application of Ayer's Hair Vigor and
such like conservators of youth. She
incidentally mentioned' that since I
had become an "author" I perhaps
would have little time to spare in pri
vate
• correspondence. Now ,so far
frdm that being the case I satisfied
her that she should nothave'an equiv
ocal idea of my eentiments for that
one time at least, I wound up by
telling her that my mother looked
just as she did when she knew her,
and as for myself, age brought its in
crease of wisdom, and my connection
with the press had worked a radical
change in my aspirations since that
corn husking. It iikquite likely that
I shall now have a season of repose.
As I promised that my next should
be "something else," I shall take
Christmas and New Year's for mypies
ent artic le, with perhaps some hints
as too her days.
e_
The nsation experienced at the
mention of these holidays, is most pe
culiar. Visions of smoking turkeys
rise before my mind's eye; Santa
Claus with his back load of toys, his
nuts and candies—oh 1 too bright to
lastl In fact the substance don't .
last long, why should the shadow?
Christmas is pfobably the most sa
cred of all the holidays, though there
are two classes of men that don't sus
pend business—livery men and rum
selleri;. They think with the rest of
mankind that it is a very "good" day.
Men always fast if they have any
fasting to do, on the day before.
The • physical ffect is most apparent.
Men are generally very hungry on
Christmas. They , are very thirsty
the day after. They set it apart and
sanctify it by having the biggest
drunk of the whole year. People get
married on that day, though there
are some that can't wait. Christmas
is the slowest day to come I ever saw,
-and the alnianacs say that it is not
likely to come more than once during
the entire year. Small folks regard
the day with peculiar interest. ' If
they contemplate breaking the heads
off their dolls or the rimers off their
sleighs at all, they appoint a day just
before Christmas for the operation. •
Some sleigh-ride, some slate, some
settle up with their creditors, but all
these. amusements • iespecially the
last) are to me as vanity and vexa
tion of spirit•.
Give me the day set apart as it has
been and-sanctified by the usages of
centuries—give me this day. in • the
midst of cider, doughnuts, and roast
turkey ! Mily be lam prejudged in
favor of this branch of domestic felie
ity; if I am it is a judgment founded
upon knowledge, and what can be
,more righteous ? -
"Let Christmas come, it can't too soon—
I'll meet it like a min I ,
•But give me three days notice,
Then beat me if you can." .

It is now about seventy years since
the first settlement's were made in
most of the. township's in this county.,
During this time, for many years, the'
progress of improvement . was neces
sarily slow, in consequence of the
condition of the roads, the market's,
and the want of a surplus. At thist
time, the families of the settlers were
not only young, but generally large,
consuming nearly all theproducts of
their labor during the year for food
and clothing, and• other expenses.
During the fast twenty years, the
attention of the settlers was, for the
:most part, given to the - clearing of
the. lomat, and making small pay

THE 0101210ANOE OF CERTAIN
LINES OF THE GOAL nip.
BY JANESULCPAIILASF., TOWAYDA,
The variety in the kinds of
_coal
found in different localities, suggests
the inviries us to whether , it is for
tuitous, or whether there is any gen:-
eral law by Which it governed ; what
thel, law, and heir , the effect pro
duced? In a universe governed - by
law there must be some system to the
coal formations. Thelacts observed
.y-every one add to the,general stock
of knowledge, and may assist in solv
ing interesting, problems in. regard to
those importantlegions.
One of the most obvious phenome
na in regard to our Pennsylvania an-.
thracite coal fields is that the hardest
coal is found in the east ends of the
first and second coal fields; contrast-
ing. very strongly with, the soft, free
burning semi-anthracite of their west
end& The line of gradations in soft
ness might, at first glance, appear to
be from east to west, andia so stated
by Rogers and, others, perhaps on ac
count oithese.two fields lying nearly
in -that direction. But a little observ-
Ittion will show us that, in fact, the
course of this progression is from the
southeast towards the northwest. A
lineotossing the course at right an
gles, and thus corresponding nearly
with the general course of, the Aden-,
tic coast, would..represent the breast,i
as it were, ofthe wave of change.—
Upon a geologicallaap, the sett. theast
northivest course would first 'strike
the stony anthracite fields of Rhode
Island and Manachusetts,, in _which
under a high temperature and intense
pressure, all volatile matter has been
expelled, all vegetable impressions
'obliterated, and the color of some of
the - beds changed to a steel blue.
• The next eoal field, as we move the
line north-westward, is the old Lehigh
Navigation Company's mines near
Mauch Chunk, then the • Hazelton
&aver Meadow, and other upper Le
high basins, before referred to,- pror
diming the hardeit anthracite, which
is of peculiar value for foundry pur
poses, in melting. pig iron. A little
farther northAvestward comes - the
Pottsville coal, nf a medium hardness;
and here slag by our rule, we are in.
the line of the Great Northern, or
Wyoming and'Lackawanna coal field.
This third coal field hell in nearly a
northeast and southwest course, and
accordin ,, to the theory proposed, it
should pLdnce.throughout its entire
_length from the entire seams, a near-
Iy,uniform quality of coal, asxagards
its hardness. This is found to be
the case.. If there is inky observable
difference, that produced by the Del
aware and Hudson Coal-C,ompanyin
the north horn of this crescent-shaped
field, should be a little the hardest,
'And that: from- the Nanticoke and
Shickshinny the' softest. ' 'That pro
duced' in, the central part of. the
field at Scranton and Wilkesbarre
should,in obedience to our theory,
be of the same general character as
that frOM the same seams of the Ma
hony and of the widest portion of the
Schuylkill basins. As we move our
line tarther. northwestward, - w
.e 'also
notice that-it first passes the extrem
ity of the aoilthem fork of R the first
coal field, then that of the eorth.fork,
while the line has not much passed
Shamoldn in the second field, leaving
Tre.vorton end of that field if our rule
is a correct one, the softest of all the
anthracite coal in three regions—as
it is known to be. , It is thus describ
ed, in the State , Gelogical Repert ;
" Passing , the meridian of the Shamo
-kin Gap; the coal acquires a sensible
quantity of inflammable gas, carburet
ed hydiragen, characteristic of the
bitrinnnous and semi-bituminous class
of coals, and the prOportion . of 'this
ingredient seems rapidly to increase
as 'we draw near to the extremity of
the basin.. It semis to- exist in the
coal in the gaseous form, or , if a pot
tion is in a condition ofliquid bitu
men, it is in quantity trio minute to
cause the • coal to. soften and form
-coke. The coal is therefore to be re- -
gi , irded as an antradte , but of modified
properties." . -•
It might have - been noticed in' pas.-
I sing that the diameter of the coal
prodficed it the two prongs at the
east end of the Schyylkill basins forms
no exception to-.'the supposed rule,
being a little harder than the Shamo
kin; and softer.than the Pottsville.-=
Passing northwest over an internie
diate space in which no coal ilifound,
we next meet with the detached semi
anthracite coal field-on Birch Creek,
Sullivan county, Pa., Which possesses
the character which its situation re-
quires,. having the fracture and gen
eral. appearance of semi-bituminous
coal, but burmug 4a all respects like
anthracite of a softy , free-burning .
- rieti, being even softer than the She
mokin. '

Mining done in the north, on the line '
of the Philedelphia and Erie road, is
on the lower seams of thYr lower coal
measures, :Fhile that in the southwest
of Pennsylvania is on the Pittsburgh
seam of the Upper and measures.-
But as we approach the northwest
corner of this coal region, we- find
farmer Hine distinct kinds of coaL—
The'firsi is the cannel coal along the ;
Alleghany,•ltiver, - which, befoYe the
discovery pf-the oil wells, was eaten- -
lively useff for the manufacture of
kerosene by distillation. The cannel
coal of Breekinridge county lientnoly,
in the southern part of the great 1111-
nois coal field, is of a similar charac
ter ; and was among" the first . that
was used for the same purpose. It is -
situated in a ,southwest direction
from, and prObably is in the same
- original coal basin.
In the southwestern part of the
Allegheny coal region law the ;state
line at Youngstown, Ohio, and about
Sharpsharg, on the Pennsylvania side,
is found another peculiar and very
valuable laminated splint coal; known
in the region as " block coal," Way. ",
esteemed for its smelting iron in the -
Mahoning valley. It also commands
a large market at and from the porta
of Erie and Cleveland, as a grate and
steam coal iii the West. The Big
Muddy coal mined at Carbozidale,llL,
and brought out to Grand Tower, on
the Mississippi River, below St, Louis,
and that of Chester,are a qUality very
similar to the celebrated Ormsby and
Brier Hill coal above described, and
lie nearly in a sonthirestem di
rection from the Youngstown, and
Sharpsburg region. The Big Muddy
coal is also used. with success -in
smelting iron. All of these are from
the lowest seam in the series. .
A good quality of coal is said to
occur at Brasil, between TerreHaute
and indienapolis, on• the east edge of
the_Thinois coal field, which has been
successfully used in blast-fmwaces in
Chicago. This may represent anoth
er grade - of-coal in the Alleghany field,
which is - mined and used in the same
way near Mlussilon ' Ohio.
Moving.our parallel farther north
westward, we come to • zone of infe
rior coal, mined at Jackson,
Michi
gan, and at Belleville, Illinois, St.
Louis being supplied from ths latter.
Also, farther northwest, - we have that
produced along the northern part, of
the Illinois coal field, at Wilnungton
and La Salle, and southwest from
them is Bevier, in Misioini, Ave miles
west of Macon, on The Hannibal and
St. Joseph railroad. They are equal
ly sulphurous, and contain so large a
percentage of hygrometric moisture
as to fix them In the same chuis be
yond question.
The Nova Scotia and . New Bruns
wick coal regions are in the same coal
parallel with some parts of the Alle
ghanY regions, producing bituminous
coal of the same quality. The sup
posed meridian line, when traced for
long distances, like all nature's lines,
_probably assumes a curving form,
conformable to the great flexures of
the Continent.
It might be tedious to give further
details, 'and-the foregoing are suffi
cient to prove, at the lead, a very re
markable series of coincidences. Oth
ers may have observed thepecoliarity
referred to as to these zones of coal,
but the writer has never seen • ' it no
ticed, and he will thank any one who
will giv - t\l, him any additional facts re- -
lating to this Subject. To ascertain
and verify' the rule is most important ;
the cause may be a matter of - opinion.
But it will readily be seen that if re
peated Observations should establish
a law governing the formation of this
same general description of coal along
certain known lines It might be of
the, utmost importance in enabling
us to judge, in some measure, of the
character of the coal to be found in
undeveloped re gions. The writer

the origin.of the phenomenon describ
