arax a. !4ixti .1
Of all amusements of the mint;
From logic down hi fishing,
There Isn't one that you can dud
So very cheap as " wishiturr •
A very choice diversion, too,
if we bid' rightly use it, -
And t►st; as rte are apt toil% ; ,
Pervert it, and abuse it. .
I wish—a common wish, indeed—
My purse was somewhat fatter,
That I might sheer the child of need,'
And not my pride to flatter; •
That I might make oppression reel, ,
As only-good Pill make it, •
And break the tyrant's rod of steel,
As only gold can break it. .
I wish that sympathy and love,
And every human paaalon
That has its aright above, .
Would come and keep in fashion ;
That scorn, and jealousy, and hate,
And every base emotion,
Were buried fifty fathoms deep
' Beneath the waves of ocean:
I wish that friends were always true,
And motives always pure ,
I wish the lohd were not so few,
I wish the bad were fewer ;
I wish that parsons ne'er forgot
To heed their pious teaching;

"He calleth to me out. of tk:it, Watchman,

night? The watchman said, the ramming cum

Eden -was both the stmrpe and, the
sunset of the world. The glory of
humanity that rose there in a sinless
Adam went down behind the dense
foliage of the tree of knowledge; set
.in gloom as n'sinful Adam - -trenched
in the shadow_ to hide from the eyes
of auoffende'a God. Since then
Night has covered the world.. But
traces of the glory
shall lin
ger:in the hearts and histories - of men.
Om' love of romance and poetry is a
reminiscence of Paradise Lost. All
men carry in their hearts a vague
sense of primal perfection in conjunc
tion with a clear sense of present dis
order. Of the first—of the
_sense of
primal perfection—we find a remark
able witness in•- • the, languages , of
Greece and Rome in the use of words
signifying " order " and ". elegance "
to designate the present material
world—a world of sash manifest dis
order and unloveliness that the sharp,
practical eye of the poet Lucretius
could find in it no evidence of a de
si7nin7 mind, no trace of final causes
anywhere existing, but only proofs.of
the gigtuitie conixditiciits and cata
clysms of a blind - Chance: And yet
to the more spiritual vision of Py
thagoras sash glorious gleams and
correlated picture's of grace and beau
ty- broke through its . present disor
ders that he called it "Cosmos
`While to some Routaii of tenderly
poetic soul it appeared as
,"anunclus,'
""ekganlia."' Aiiiivrialo men in all
ages have held theOpinerrof a Para
dise lost, at the 'same time they have
held the hope and confidence that it
would some day be regained. If
there bloomed nu Paradise iu the
present, at least, there had been „one
in the past and there *Waited anoth
6. in .the future. Solue`where .it yet
must bloom or was bloinning; if not
in their own land or about their own
doors; yet in the distance—iu the.
happy Iran—among the remote Hy
perboreans--in the-far land . of . the
blameless : Ethlopiani.
does the expectation of a more glo
rious time in. the future stand forth
with strength and vividness in the.
religion of the ancient Persiami: .
Through all their sacred writings
there runs the liveliest hope of . a pe
riod " when every poison and poison
ous we should beoxpelled from the
earth; when theie alieuld be Uo.More
ravening henst. - titer ,:fierY. sinioOm
when streams should 'break forth iii

should cat s -no . . olumlows, , when •they

We' might argue that'ian •
,kxpecta- - 1
tion co universal and instinctive must
be well founded—must be a veritable
promise of, God written upon the Mr
man heart.. But vre . have even a bet
ter-foundation.upon -which to look
forward to the "good time, cumin. , "
—to the golden age of man and earth.
The sure word of prophecy declares',
that,there shall yet appear, new hes-,1
rens and a new earth--a .renovatecV,
physical condition of atmosphere :aid
earth—Wherein the righteous--a pure,
perfected; blest humanity—shall

crowning glory-of hiinkhid has al

ing. Let its. look , for a moment this
morning at the condition of its me
ridian-fulness and eompleteness I
This condition is "Christian Cul
ture "—the truths, inethfids, institu-.
tioes and habitudes of - the Christian
religion-1
I. cannot pause.to. point, • out, bow
this culture relates-to the lower vile- -
ments of man's nature—to his—physi
cal and intellectuld wears antgiterd
ties.This is an interesting igudy,
and • one_for which Much light Might
be gathered from contemporaneous
European . events; time will permit
me only to show. the effect of this cul
ture upon the higher moral •natire.
'this is the final, ultimate element,
lying back of the others and effectn
sting them by its energy and. BUM:m
ing them with its light. .A men Might
reach a high pitch of physical or In
tel:emus) development, and yet be
only a splendid animal or .a refined
demon; on the other hand the Cra
tere of the moral nature 'secures by'
necessity the elevation and • refine
ment of both body and soul. &id
culture necessitates body-culture. If
the soul be a temple of the Holy
Ghost it throws the halo of its purity
and the majesty of its dignity over
the entire material organism. As to
the intellect it is undeniable that the
soundest minds are those whose in
stincts are moral, and whose process
es and judgments are controlled by
=moral laws and based* on moral
grounds. The highest genius is a
genius of conscience. The noblest
minds of all ages are those which
have been inspired and swayed by
the powers of the world to come.
Now if thishe• true, it is self-evi
dent that, man can never reach his
highest glory until this element of
his nature is disciplined and develop
ed in all its powers and aspects; tin
til his spiritual nature assumes its
primal place as tho director of his
whole being. It-is right hero that
all other schemes of Education have
failed; this is , the. - rock - upon which
they have all split. Consider ono or
two prominent examples: Forty cen
turies ago, before Home or Athens
or even Troy was founded, the patri
arch AlAnham went down 'from the
land of Canaan into the valley of the
Nile, and found it inhabited by a
mighty people. In respect of their,
knowledge of the nseful arts and the
principles of agriculture they were
completely civilized—far in advance
in many ways of any science and art
this , boasted age is possessed of.
Their -laws were wisely framed—their
institutions reasonably free—their
style of living elegant. All this we
know from the records of t-ciipture
and from the inscriptions and deco
rations which remain upon their
tombs and temples until this day.
Here beside the Nile, now almost de
serted, was the utmost.splexidor of
combined material and intellectual
culture the world has ever seen.
' Every school-boy knows what follow
ed. The civilization of Egyptripen
ed into monstrous corruption—her
tremendous strength by degrees was
impaired, and wasted--her institu
tions of science and elegant learning
went to utter ruin; until at last the
swords of the Caliph, the Mameluke
and the Turk severed the sceptre of
the Pharaohs and. the sands of the
Libyan desert rolled over and buried
the splendid temples of vis and Osi
ris. Take a more modern illustra
thin: Within the present century
....there has sprung up yi India tvsplen
did empire, opulent in all the tree
'sures of tropical nature and.of orien
tal art. - The founders of this empire
resolved at the be?inein7 to ' secure
.
its.development by meansef the ap
pliances of science and civilization
alone AU means of strictly Chris
tian, culture were carefully ,- uncom
promisingly ezelfided. . So rigorons;.
ly was theresolution carried out that
it
_le upon record that ' , within fi fty
yeara a converted Sepoi of the Brah
min caste wee expelled' the British
army for the crime Of having em
braced Christianity. You know the
ac ( 1 1 , 131 . It was Written thirteen years
ago in fire and blood. It is a most
significant fact that just where this
godless material prosperity*Sort
sitemssfully secured,. there the or
ror fth
oe rebellion - were mos ap
plifling;7-and that among the most
diabolical-leaders in these strocithis,
were the- cultivated heathen''whom
the governinea had sought to
pre
serve from the , contvi e n of. Chris . -
tianity by linOigh laws. So obvious
and disgraceful was the failure of this
'atheistical expeiiment, that the Lon
don Times • was ; forced - to say that
henceforth India must be hold for
Christianity and
'Now why the& utter failtireti of
mZre Material Mid intelleotrial
nation ? The only satisfactory answer
is, froie. waneettlie moral influences
of Christianity. Amidst all the spiel! ,
dor of Material growth and intellec
tual activity . the soulwits dead--uu
touched bya perk of enlivening in-,
littence. Their forms of so-called•re
ligiozi were utterly impotent to awe

It lay dormant or paralyzed with hor..; ,-
yor and fear beneath alLthe rites of
their gorgeous polytheitou These
instances (and similar eases might be
multiplied for hours) illustrate the
words.of Jehovah spoken through`
Hosea:. "0 Israel, thou halt destroy
ed thylf; but in me is thy help."
They give to this nhtional truth, a
general • and universal significance,
and skew it to be a great law of
Providence and history. Man, what
ever his material and intellectual pro
gress and culture, alwaysproves a
self-destreyer in the end—in the re

The past year - bas been marked by
busy and powerful assaults upon UHT
religion of Christ and 'ideas and
institutions growing out of it. In .
Italy the infallibility of the Pope hai
been I , 3ol emnii pronounced, and all
the unscrupulonit and untiring might
of the Papacy timer:a against Chris
tian civilization, and religious pro
gross. Everything charactermtic
our modern crviliz' ation--idtthe ideas
and principles`-of the broadening
mind of our age—are sought to be
trampled ander foot of the woman in
purple and scarlet. In Central . Eu
rope a bold and powerful effort has
been put fOrtli.to check the industri
al, intellectual_ and religious progrese
of a great people, and to fasten upon
Europe the effete, insulting 'doctrine
l ot Otesarisni. It is a matter ,of de
vout thankfulness to-day that God
has hold these audacious attempts in
derision; that He has Overwheluied
the papacy with confusion in the se
cret haunts of the Vatican' ; aid has'
plucked the temporal crown from her
head; while blowing Clcsaiisin to
atoms by the Weapons of cultured
brains and a self-respectful manhood.
It seems as if this year had gone far
to settle for all Europe the answer to
the question, "What of the night:"
The morning cOmeth; yea, it has
come in faint dawn,4treais to Ger- -
many and Italy, and it will soon burst
in glory over the environed Walls of
humbled Paris. It bas Come to some
peoples, it is coming-, to all in the
truth that makes men free—in a free
Bible, a° free church, a free manhood,
and a free state. ,
It is sad that in oul: own laud,
where Christianity has taken such
deep root and borne such glorious
fruit, that 'we shouldhe compelled at
this day to resiseits overthrow. One
would suppose that if there be any
fact demonstrated by history and .
Worthy efall acceptation, it is • that
"happy is that people Whose God is
the Lord "; that if our sons are to be
as plants grown up in their youth—
,our daughters as corner- stones pol-
IshM after the similitude of a pal
su.,v7-our garners fall,' affording all
manner - Of Store; that if there is' to
be no breaking in nor going out and,
no complaining in our • streets, we
must first as a nation make the law
of God our delight and guide, and
the glory of God our end and glory.
Proclaimed as this truth has been for
us during the last decade by the
.rhythmic tread of armed men, the
thunders of fraternal strife; the groans
of thedying and the whiling of the
broken-hearted, we would reasonably
sappos4that it would need uolarther
iteration and sargument. And Yet
never in the history, of our country
have the assaults of evil against the
bulwarks of our nation's strength and
glory been more blatant, powerful,
persistent (I may say successful),
than during the past year. Chris
tianity, as a form of religion and as
a form of culture, has-been beset on
every side.

Ezra Cornell, the noble
,fouoder of
our UniVersity, desi-ms—so I am in
formed---moving his extensive manu
facturing establishment now at Alba
nyo.to this place._ It. will be located
on Itall Creek near the North Univer
sity buildings. Students who:are in
clined to labo r as machinists, will
have a rare opportunity .to do so
when this structure .is completed.
The. MeGrAw -buildinc , is rapidly as
. .
smiting grand proportions, aurwhenl
it is finished, and the chimes - plice
in the tower, the sweet music of: the
bells will charm the inhahitauti for
nnit armuid. The Sibley, building
is going : up_-rapidly. In one year
mere five.
: University buidilngs will
be completed. Thery are upwards
.of six landred students in attend
ance this winter. Our beautiful nak
ural scenery is attracting thousands
annually, from every quarter, and
when um• . railroads are all completed,
I upprvliend there will be such an in
flux here during the summer season,
that the hotel keepers will bless the
day that our enterprising men ever
dreamed of .constructing railroads.
We have extensive paper mills, spoke
and hub works, agricultural works,
car shops, machine shops, barrel fact
ories, nil „now doing a thriving busi
ness. Our country is rich all around'
us, our town is the county seat, and
„trade and all'busifiess naturally cen
tre here. The Ithaca - and Cortland
R. H. is progressing finely. The
truck is nearly Completed from Free

trains running regularly by, the first

on the cast of oar corporation line.

L. Oar beautiful lake on the north A I

our boats to carry coal to Buffalo, 1
New York -city, ;Albany, Troy,L-in

north and south, and bring on their
return, iron, grain and merchandise.
We expect soon to build rolling mills
and nail factOries. Then an exten

laborers. Th tre is no-better place in
this country for Mechanics of all
classes than here. Our society is ex

men of wealth and culture, for which
we ,thank God. - Our churches are in

TIE GANGES.
We have all heard of the Ganges. •
Onie of ou.r readers may have :Visite
eitits banks - and navigated its sacred
waters. To the majority, however,
we, suppose the Ganges is only a
name. It is the holy river of the
Hindoos. By them it has always
been accounted the meereacred of
rivers. The derWiteo hastens to 'per
him his ablutions with its water,
end believes himself purified from all'
sin. or he resolves on a sacrifice and
offers himself- as a victim, .by:the
commission of suicide in the river.
The feet of the, dYing- arc immersed
in it; that the :departing, spirit may
go straight to the Hindixr paradise;
and;even in the British courts_of jus
tice, Hintloos are sworn u wa=
ter, as Christians 'sandMohammed-_
ans are sworn - on their awed books.
The Gang es is ,au essential paxt. of
Hindooiii. But the Englishkil.they
value their Indian, possessiuWare
as much indebted to the Ganes ae

great highway br-which - they lave

and tha grand route of communize;

their authoritY.—

the Nilo is erected by :rains, which
fall in its npper regions; the Ganges

its whole extent.---The waters begin
to rise in April, at first by very slow
degzees, but gradually increasing
from one to three inches in a day.
The fall of rain egos- not begin- m
