"I SEE THE LAIIIS!"*
BY RICHARD COE
Our much-loved sister when she died,
By faith the. Son of God descried;
And said, with fainting breath and calm,
To weeping friends—" I see the Lamb!"
Who would not walk the death-vale'
through,
To catch so soul-inspiring view?
Who would not lie beneath the sod,
To reet so sweetly-calm on God?
0 husband, chastened and subdued,
0 children dear, a stripken brood;
'Lookup, by faith, into the skies,
And see her sainted form arise!
Zio more, with clay-encumbered feet,
She treads the dust-environed street;
But with angelic sandals shod,
She cleaves the purer air of God!
'Behold the Lamb!" is now the song
Of all ofthe bright celestial throng;
Her's was the prelude to that psalm,
The while she cried—"l see the Lamb!,'
O sister, spirit of the skies,
We gaze on Him,with flesh-veiled eyes;
But thou, in heaven's unclouded light,
CanSt gaze till glory dims thy sight!
'Erelong, our earth-life being done,
We, too, may see the spotless One;
And, with exultant spirits, trace
The Lamb of God in Jesus'lace!
Being the dying words of Mrs. J
Painter, of West Philadelphia.
CITY BULLETLN.
The Sunday question 7 The Sanctity
the Sabbath Upheld.
Last. evening, at the First Baptist Church,
Broad and Arch streets, an adjourned meet
ing was held of delegates from the various
Christian churches of Philadelphia, in re
gard to preserving the sanctity of the Sab
bath.
The meeting was presided over by Hon.
W. A.'Porter, and Rev. H. P. P. Stevenson
acted as Secretary. Rev. Mr. Cummins de
livered an eloquent prayer, imploring that
the Sabbath day should be preserved from
all desecrations.
The following Committees were ap
pointed.—
Committee to prepare an Address to the
public on present interests, of the import
ance of the great subject of the sanctity of
the Sabbath.—Rev. Albert Barites, Rev.
Bishop Simpson, Hon. William Strong,
Charles Macalester, Thos. H. Pc•wers.
Committee to call on his Honor the Mayor
—George H. Stuart, Rev. Alfred Cookman,
Rev. J. Wheaton Smith, D.D., Morris Pat
terson, Lemuel Coffin.
Committee of Nine in regard to Legisla
tion.— Hon. James Pollock, Rev. George
Junkin, D. D., Herman Cope, Wm. Welsh,
Samuel G. Thompson, John Boardman,
William Getty, Thomas Wattsen, Colson
Hieskill.
If any vacancies should occur on the
Committees, each committee shall have
power to fill them and to appoint a Chair
man in place of any unable to serve.
Hon. William A. Porter, Rev. Mr. Conk
man, Rev. John Chambers. and Mr. Barratt
severally addressed the meeting.
The following resolution was offered :
Resolved, That in the judgment of this
meeting the running of passenger cars on
the Sabbath is a violation of the sanctity of
the day.
Rev. Dr. Junkin followed eloquently and
learnedly, advocating the holiness of the
Sabbath. The Lord, in the thunder of
Mount Sinai, had given the fourth :com
mandment, not to keep holy the seventh
day, but to keep holy the Sabbath day.
'Works of necessity or mercy no Christian
man ever desires to have discarded on that
day; but this clamor about the poor is
needless, when all the churches in this city
especially care for them. He contended
that the Sabbath was made for the good of
man, by securing even the poorest and most
dependent from oppression.
The question was carried with but one
dissenting voice.
Rev. Dr. Brainerd moved that a com
mittee of nine be appointed to whom the
general interest of this subject should be
intrusted. He did not like the aspect the
subject had taken in regard to the opposi
tion being concentrated on one individual.
The question was a broad question of gospel
truth and teachings. As this was a ques
tion in which the undying interests of
unborn millions were involved, he would
have the question of responsibility placed
upon the laymen, the great merchants and
manufacturers of our State. Let them
fight for the Sabbath, not the clergy alone.
against whom can be arrayed the vilest
elements of degradation. Let the question
be started on a broad basis, that the Chris
tain laymen of Pennsylvania may sanctify
the Sabbath, and make it unpopular for any
public man of reputation to prostitute it.
A motion was made to increase the Com
mittee to twenty-four, composed equally of
laymen and clergy, to prepare for public
meetings, to be presided over mainly by
laymen, with power to form a permanent
organization, and to be addressed on the
question of the Sabbath by clergy, espe
cially appointed.
It was accepted as an amendment by Dr
Brainerd.
Rev. J.Wheaton Smith, Rev. John Cham
bers, and D. Steinmetz followed. The lat
ter advocated the union of members of
every Church in the country on this point.
He held in his hand a book about the Sab
bath, writtencharmingly by an able writer,
to destroy the holiness of the day. It de
clares that the Sabbath day made more
crimes; that the increase of churches made
an increase of criminals. In his pager John
W. Forney has approvingly quoted from
this work, and upon the very title page of
the book his name occurs.
Rev.&Dr. Musgrave had believed it to be
his dutNot only to give up his subscription
to a Sunday paper, but to advise from his
pulpit his congregation to do the same. He
regretted the declaration of Mayor Henry
that the laws were powerless to prevent
Sabbath desecration; he was sorry that
every rumseller had now an omcial decla
ration that the law is powerless agaibst him.
The resolution to appoint a committee of
twelve was unanimously adopted.
On motion of Dr. Brainerd, Rev. J. Whea
ton Smith was requested to prepare a tract,
to be printed and circulated throughout the
city, treating of the sanctity of the Sabbath.
A motion to confer with the established
Sabbath associations of the city was rejected.
A motion was offered that when.the meet
ins adjourn it be to meet at this church on
Thursday night week. Adopted.
On motion, , , , the, committed was authorized
to report on the permanent organization at
the next meeting.
Me meeting then adjourned.
SALE OF HOSPITAL FUBNITUBE, ETC.-
The furniture and equipments of the Mower
Hospital at Chestnut Trill, have been dis
posed of at auction. This hospital was one
of the largest and most complete in the
country. There were fifty distinct wards
for patients, each capable of ac,commodat
ingfrom sixty to eighty beds,and numerous
bather spacious buildings for the - storage of
supplies and the quarters of officers and
stWildants. This immense establishment
was erected under the personal supervision
.4 Dr. Joseph Hopkinson, who remained at
the hospital as Surgeon-in-charge until his
decease. Every part of the hospital was
arranged with a view to comfort and con
venience, and every department was so
organized as to work with the highest de
gree of efficiency. During the time the
hospital was in operation upwards of twen
ty-two thousand patients were treated—the
greatest number at any one time being
about four thousand, which was after the
hard fighting of Grant's campaign beyond
thb Rappahannock.
The sale was conducted by M. Thomas er,
Sons, Auctioneers. The attendance of pur

dred at $1 50 tosl 70 each; linen pillow-cases
at about 22 cents; muslin sheets at 58 ceut..-i;
woolen dres4ng-gowns at 111 cents, and

two cents apiece; a large lot of clothes-line
for $7l; about 6,000 knives and forks at 9 cts.
a pair; over 6,000 spoons at a cent a piece; 230
small mirrors at 8 cents each. The wooden
pulpit was sold for $1 75; fifteen large tin
milk receivers, worth not less than $l5 to $2O
each, sold together for about $1 50. a piece;

$6 50 respectively; numerous other desks for
$4 to $l2 each, by the lot; a flag staff, 110 feet
high, for $l2, and one eighty feet high for $4;
and so on through the catalogue. Mower
Hospital now wears a desolate appearance.
It is still in charge of the military authori

auction and removed, and the ground occu
pied restored to the possession of its owner.
CHESTNUT STREET IMPROVEMENTS.—The
two large buildings No. 1301 and 1303 Chest

merly the residence of Mr. F. Fotterall,

Mr. H. intends to occupy both buildings for
his business. The improvement will be a
great addition to the vicinity. The store
will he nearly 60 feet on Chestnut street; and
100 feet on Thirteenth street, to a small
'street. The store now occupied by Mr.
Henkels, SO9 and 811 Chestnut street, is to

The Girard Trust are uow altering one of
the dwellings in Girard How, between
Eleventh and Twelfth streets, and intend

ELEGANT FURS FOR PRESENTS.—MOSSrs.
A. K. & F. K. Womrath, No. 415 Arch street, have a
splendid stock of itus.sla Sable, Mink Sable, Chin
chilla. and Royal Ermine Furs, in sets at comparatively
reasonable prices. A number of their magnificent
sets, ranging in some instances as high as two thousand
dollars. have been sold to their customers for presents,
during the past week, and "the cry is, still they come."
The extent and character of this expensive class of
furs offered by the Messrs. woorratb,Dxmy be inferred
from the fact that, in addition to their own enormous
trade here, they have been obliged to supply the prin
ci ral Furriers or New York from their own impor
tations.
TRY AoArN.—Most persons, once imposed
on, are suspicious. Caution is needed in these times to
emape humbug, and the certainty of being victimized.
Jules Batten Eau Lustrale flair "restorative is an in

either lost their Hair, or are becoming bald, should try
this delectable preparation, whose effects are miracu
lous. Sold by all Druggists, and at the Laboratory of

Co., Perfumers and Importers, 530 Arch street, Phila

Tait FRENCH are rarely willing to admit
that Parisian skill can be surpassed In the manufac
ture of articles of taste and luxury, and yet Phalon's
"Night-Blooming Cereus" has been adopted by the
leading French families here as superior to any of the
floral extracts put up in Paris. Sold everywhere.
CLOTHING FOR HOLIDAY PRESENTS.—
Messrs. C. Somers & Son, No. 625 Chestnut street, under
Jayne's Hall, have reduced the prices of their elegant
stock of ready-made clothing, so as to place them
within reach of all. If the benevolent will bear this in
mind and take those to whom a new suit of clothing
wOuld be a blessing to this popular old establishment,
and have them suited in a garment, they will be doing
good to others, and fled a real pleasure in the act of
giving.

old dressing gown sold in Paris recently for 990 francs.
If a Frenchman chooses to pay 990 francs for an old
dressing gum, we presume that it is nobody's business
butt's own, For our part.we would prefer to invest a
considerably less sum and-procure for it an ele,gant

CONCERT

gageraent fora limited season„of the great Unrivalled
artist,
MR ROBERT HELLER.
Whose performances, for a period of thirteen consecu
tive months, at his famous
SALL.EFABOLIQUE,
•
No. US BROADWAY, New York,
Have rendered him not only world-famous, but placed
him at the bead of the host of entertainment givers.
Whether as the great
SOMATIC CON,IURER,
And it is universally conceded that in the field of ma
gical illusion the baton of Mr. HELLER. like the rod
of Moses, discomths and destroys the efforts of all the
eager magicians—or as the
BRILLIANT PIANIST,
•
Whose popularity, both as a composer and performer
of the great works of M. ndelsaohn, Liszt, Thalberg,
etc., has probably never been exceeded by any artist
now before the public; or as a
COM RRLA.N.
WIT, and
RALTS.
Has been found difficult by the VER prmsA ofTION New York
and Boston to determine in which character he is the
greatest adept.
