MERMAIDS AND SEA-SERPENTS
’A'hat the .Sea-serpent is in this country, tho
Mermaid is in Greatßritain. That year is dull
which docs not produce a regular sea-serpent
story in America and a regular mermaid yani|
from tho old country. . Oddly enough, the ser
pentine legends became stronger from tho
time when Professor Rxchabd Owen, one of tho
best authorities on Comparative Physiology,
published an indignant letter in the London
Times, containing the most emphatic abnega
tion of the existence of the sea-serpent,—de
nying, in fact, the very possibility of such a
creature’s existence. That season, as if-to
give tho lio to tho Professor—to show tho su
periority of Action over fact, \\\ hadmorc sea
serpents seen (or said to be seen) off these
shores than ever. About this time, too, sea
serpents began to Aourish in our great fresh
water lakes. A tremendous fellow was des
cribed as Aoundering iu Lake Superior, nndhaa
since been spoken of at intervals.
There is something audaciously cool, if not
impudent, in the attempts of what goes by tho
name of Science to put down all our ancient
legendary faith. In this country, where
we are so practical that even a baby is supJ
posed capable of calculating, to a fraction,
the market value of the nutrition which' hie
tender mother affords him—hero, wo say, wo
have no belief in fairies, sprites, cluricaun.es,
or fetches, find even giye very little, credence
to a ghost story, however well authenticated.
But the human mind will have a lingering
after tho, supernaturalj and, therefore, ghosts;
and fairies being at a tremendous discount, we
go in boldly for Spiritualism, table-rapping;
table-moving, writing media, and all those
sort of things. Above all, wo pin our faith,
most relyingly, on fortune-tellers, and cheats
of that description. There are at least a
bakers’ dozen of fortune-tellers in Mew York;
who are consulted, not only by fooliiih girls
and idle women, hut by business men.. i .. ;
We do not believe in fairies, hut we enable
“A.raffrirJsßjirVose hay?
He advertises that he Has uiscovdrM a certain
remedy for all diseases under the ann, particu
larly for consumption, and that—henovelent
being!—he will forward tho recipe on receipt
of a shillings’ worth of postago stamps: three
cents to pre-pay his letter, and tho balnnco
to post-pay the advertisement. This won
derful philanthropy attracts attention, and
tho newspaper reader states his own case,
or tho case of a relative. By return of post,
comes a letter from Jersey City, enclosing a
recipe. You apply, in vain, to overy druggist
in your neighborhood to mako up this prescrip
tion. It mentions one thing of which none of
them had ever heard before. You write again
to the “ Physician whoso sands of life hnve
nearly run out,” and ho kindly iniorms you that
the desiderated medicino does not precisely
come into tho Pharmacopeia, inasmuch as it is a
rare herb which he discovered in the East
Indies, but that hq can spare you a little, and,
measuring his charges by your presumed gul
libility and capacity to Meed (in purse) ho sup
plies the wonderful curative—at any price be
tween three dollars and fifty. So, the aged
physician (actually a young man of thirty or
thereabouts) makes a fatliving out of his neigh
bors’ credulity.
Wo have no belief in fairies; but, as wo must
have some belief, wo pin our faith most rely
ing on what are commonly called quack
medicines. Instead of consulting a regular phy
sician, who has a character to make or to retain
by his treatment of diseases, wo oonsuit the
brazen, impudent, lying puff-advortisoments,
which form prominent features in the columns
of most of our public journals. Mo ono in
his senses could believe that one and the some
medicino could euro a hundred different dis
eases, and he adapted, without modification, to
tho complaints of five thousand different indi
viduals.. Yot peoplo, commonly . considered
sensible, will dose and drug themselves, day
after day, until they totally ruin their health j
with quack medicines, which commonly create
disease instead of curing it.
. To tho sea-sorpent, howovor, wo do cling.
Every now and then a good account of the
appearance of a sea-serpent runs through the
newspapers, and makes tho heart rejoice.
Tho largor tho creature, tho stronger tho
affidavits and certificates of his having been
seen. Don’t wo know “ tho crittor” as well
as if ho had sat for his portrait?, Tho great
head; tho bristles on his upper lip, like ii
moustache; the enormous length; tho small
flnS; tho body, resembling a line of
whale-oil barrels, and tho stupendous
tale, N. B.—Wo have not hod a good sea
serpent story for some iinio, and recom
mend some of our country contemporaries,
who have more leisure and imagination than
ourselves, to get up a good ono with the small
est possiblo delay. Continued neglect may
wound the feelings of the animal, and, more
over, the public expect tho story.
It gives us pleasure to notice, from a para
graph in The Bbess of yesterday, (copied
from a Scotch paper with a name wholly un
known to us,) that the wounded feelings of tho
Mermaiden family have been considered. Two
Argylesliiro fisherman have solemnly signed
a declaration, that, on tho 4th June, about
0 P. M., they saw from their boat, off tho
western coast of Scotland, at the distance of
only six yards, “ an object in the shape of a
woman, with full breast, dark complexion,
comely face, and fine hair hanging in ringlets
over tho neck and shoulders.” The weather
was fine, It seems, and they had a full viow of
it, “and that for three qr four minutes.”
It was above tho surface of. tho water to
about the middle, « gazing at us and shak
ing its head.” All this is very particular.
What a pity that they did not see more of its
person, to bo able to decide whether the mer
maid’s extremities terminate in a fishy, scaly
tail—as represented in engravings. The flno
hair is in character, but the color should have
been mentioned, —popular belief holding that
sea-green locks distinguish and adorn tho mer
maid. There is no mention,' either, of a mir
ror and' tooth-comb—hut every body who
ever saw tho portrait of a mermaid knows that
she is invariably represented holding a looking
glass in trae hand, (how does she keep the salt
water from playing the mischief with the
quicksilver?) and combing her long locks with
the other. As tho certificate is dated " Islay,”
where tlie. : best Scotch whiskey Is made/.wo

one starts out from home to travel in search
of the picturesque, it is far from advisable to tako
the eleven o’clock at night train, on the Pennsyl
vania railroad, from tho depot at Eleventh and
Market streets. It Is the very roverao of tho ro
mantic to see humans of either gender putting on j
night-caps and composing themselves for sleep, and
exhibiting ail tho solfiahnoss of our naturo, in their
anxiety to socuro entire soat3 upon which to stretch
their limbs, and yield to tho influence of u tired
n&turo’s sweet restoror, balmy sleep.” In 6uch
oases, every one acts ns if tho solo object in sotting
out from homo, was to meet discomfort more than
half way, and to resolve that all the milk of human
kindness should bo curdled by the jolting of tho
train. Having myself taken tho precaution to in
dulge in an unwonted siesta before I left Philadel
phia, bound to the National Agricultural Fair in
this plaoo, I was prepared to view with calm com
placency the grumbling and growling whioh tho
animals exhibited who were to be oooped up to
gether for many horrs, while I never foltinamoro
even frame of toind, and had determined to take
It rough and tumble for tho seven or eight hundred
miles of my dcsllnution, I thoreforo squcoied my
self into tho first vacant place that offered, and ro
solvcd to moralize the sight before me; but, like
many other moralists, I soon fell off into dreamy
obHviousncss, and aftor along interview with Quoon
Mftb who rodo riot over my brain, bringing delicious
visions of the homo I had left and tho great West
I was bound to, I woke up at tho Dillorville sta
tion. At tho first returning consciousness I
thought I was at sea, with a lighthouse beaming
before mo on the horizon, but, rubbing open my
eyes, I found it was the dog-star Sirius just rising
over the eastern hills of Lancaster county, and
looking like a great balloon of fire. Acoustomod
as X had been to sec this luminary and tho brilliant
constellation of Orion only in mid-winter, I could
uot roalizo, at first, that it was only tho twonty
sonuUhingst of August, and that tho woatbor was
quite warm; but I toon began to cxporicuco tho
advancing chills of tho morning, and drew my
otoak around mo tightly. No’ old traveller ever
loaves his horuo, at any season of tho yoar, without
taking precautions against such Biuldeu changes,
and I felt tho pleasant effects of extra clothing
long before morning and tho “ blue Juniata”
broko togotkoron my sight, as wostoamed through
ono of tho glorious dofilos of that romantic region.
Round and lurid uproso tho sun, und lower and
lower felt tho incroury os we roncheil the highor
jgrado above tide water, until a heavy fog dra
periud tho whole scene—bo denso, that it looked
ne .if locomotives and carsworo about to take a leap
into an unfathomable ooean, and I experienced an
almost realizing necessity of getting a lifo-prc-
ready! With fitful uplifMngs of tho aque
ous oufttoina. hills, giving us glimpses of
emerald .sward, violet mountains, or indigo-tinted
bills, this. fog continued until wo woro near
Altoona, wbO n it all dfoporsod in fleecy garlands
towards tho ze. Mth, and wont up as tho leaven for
rising the next batch of rain storms to irrigato the
later harvests! ’ That morning—it was last Tues
day—was a vory approach to frost, and but
for tho fog we should certainly have bad its nip
ping offeots on vegetation. The somo mighty and
benefioont director that “ tempers tho wind to the
shorn lamb,”, covered earth’s face with tho natu
ral veil which pVotected it 3 beauties from what
would otherwise have been a killing cold. Woof
tho city, who are sleeping when nature is ro
awakoning from night’s quiet, not half tho
bounties that aro -working out fop us away off in

eye ever jealously guarding earth’s products nnd
fruitago from blight, and tending them as carefully
as a fuothor sontiuels the t'ouoh of her sleeping in

and visible 'signs of annihilation. Botweepffie foot
, of Courtlnridstroct, whore the Jorsoy Cta;.ferry*

' X intondod to stop, nearly ovary shop closed.
Yc3, nearly every shop was shut up —to he sure,
ns' tho hour was dose on 11 P. M., mat might have
• ocourrod under ordinary circumstances. t ' J"
Next morning, I sallied out with flad*todflrrt.
There was business on band, aff’ jlowa
Broadway. Tho fact is,’multitudes
and selling like mad—intending, no their
i despair to part with nil thoir tyoso money* to pre
vent its total confiscation by spine ,droadful< volca
nic burst in Wall street. I poopod in- gt feemo of.
tho stores, and- noticed that the’ fair and' ftubyy
Now York lelles, just returned from the watering-■
places, with “nothing to woar,” wore eagerly,'
and, indeed, recklessly, buying bareges
dies, Mechlin and YalonoiqhnoSj wonderfully
med,hatB, and ’surprisingly delicate rg|ov£s,;
manufactured in (and .put) of Paris, oat of rat
skins. Stewart’s was inundated with bu-llounood
and extensively hooped demoiselles , and a long,
lipo of hnudsomo equipages, (drawn' byteapisi
worth $l,OOO ami $1,200 eaeb, on an ftvorage,)
stood from tho cornor of Duanofetrobt, far, down,'
round tho cornor, into Chambers street. Tho un
fortunates, seeing thoir papas' and. husbands with
long fucog, and knowing what a very little way a
fow hundred dollars would go, against tbo tiil.euf
bankruptcy, quietly eased them of os muoh monoy
as possiblo, determined that Ruin, If it did como,
should find thorn handsomely attired at any rate.’
This is high spirit!—what was done’ at Stewfirt’ri
was copied, on a smaller scale, all ovor theory.
Despair assumed the Bhapc of Extravagance! Si
this occasion.- Lower down Broadway, crowds vpere
rushing into Barnum’e, throwing'tbeir odd. quar
ters into tho treasury there to see , Mrs* Andean
and “that blessed baby,’’.which Mrs. Cunningham
(late of 31 Bond stieot and now of tho Tombs) h4d
"produced,with tho remark that the little dar«j
ling had Burdell’s eyes nnd noso. It is a ?

fagged., Tho exhibition would bo porfect if Mrt.;
Cunningham were 1 added to It, with her trlp%f
accessories, Mr. District Attorney Onkey Haß,
and Drs. Catlin nnd Uhl. ,
In Wall street thoro was great Qxritomcnt, bjit
no great sign of ruin. I brushed by Jacob Litt)s,
who was apparently. in good spirits. “ Goodpod
graoions!” I exolniracd to a friend, “is not that,tha
man who has just failed for ilvo millions?” Tvril
told that ho bad only thought of failing,but thKtthfi
brokers, who considered him'ns their
npt allow him to abdicate,' and Dmjt bh did

pfeif ei/axmed'! as forrulnfrira Ideft
, , , t ' _ v
Delmon}tio' T s, whero the old Irving’ House was,
used to ho crowded in prosperous times. Now,
thought I, it will be a solitude, for peoplo have not
money to pny for their dinners. So I went in, and
had a little fioup, some viz de veatt\ and a few
glasses of sautorne. But, n>y dearest Press, there
was scarcely a vacant 'tablo'at Dolmonieo’s. Des
pair had driven in half the world tbero to got
one good dinner, ore, like John Thompson, they
wore “ had up,” and held.in custody on susp cion
of debt.
In tho evening, I had further evldcnco of tho
tremendous condition of affairs here. I dropped
into Niblo’a Theatre, which is still advertised re
“Niblo’s Garden .” Thoro was a benofit there,
in aid of tho A morican Dramatic Association Fund,
and tho unhappy Now Yorkors, to dissipate their
cares, had assembled in crowds, splendidly over
dressed, glittering with any amount of (California)
diamonds of unmei'tionablo value, and (to deceive
the public) apparently as happy as if there had
beon no crisis in th©‘ wook. I left three thousand
people at Niblo's, anWl walked up to Burton’s, buy
ing, on my way, tho twenty-ninth edition of tho
Express, which contained the valuable news that
tlioy had nothing particular to announce.
At Burton’s, in cruel'mookory of tho existing
despondency, the satirie.il and misanthropic ma
nager had announced the comedy of “Blue Devils,”
and was making an immon hq audience’ split their
sides with laughter at bis a.'imstng representation
of Megrim. After that, Signora Vostvali ployed
tho part of Charles V. in tho .opora of “ Ernani,”
and displayed the beauty of her yoioo in the musio,
and the symmetry of hcV limbs .in the beooming
attire, of that rogal part. Tho.To was soaroely
room for any one to stand, so thronged was the
thoatre, and I went away, more p.irsaadod than
before that, in utter hopelessness, c/yeryone was
cujoying himself to tho uttermost, “ Tegardless of
oxponso.”
Next day was Sunday, and as I was pxoftsly
wondiug my way to ohuroh, I was hailed by an o£d
friend, though a young man, who sat behind a
splendid team, “ Jump in,” bo cried, “I am going
to Hastings.” There was no time for thought,
I—no, I did not jump in. for lam stoat, but got
in with deliberation, and wo out away, “ over tho
stones,” os fust as tho pair of bloods could go.
Twenty milos from New York to Hastings, cud
wo could have done it in an hour and a half. AYt
tho way up woro cumulative' evidences of more
Now York rain—splendid villas, almost palatial,
and In all varieties of architecture, with grounds
beautifully laid out, and all that much wealth,
and occasional good taste, eould creato. All up
the Hudson is a lino of theso superb villas—symp
toms of ruin, of course. Mr. Forrest’s onstollatcd
building, outside Yonkors, stands proudly among
fmaller erections, like a monarch amid his satel
lites, and is alfpady assuming a nbw aspoot, Arch
bishop Hughes being busy in converting it itAb a
. convent for tho Mount St. Vincent sisters, and get
ting up a chapel close to tho castle.
A pause of twenty minutes at the Getty llouso,
an immense square Btrutituro, with n pretty minia
ture park in front, in the very oontro of Yonkort.
They have ton thousand people in that village, Mr.
Pkess, and two newspapers. Gotly House, which
is really a splendid hotel, was orowded with oity
visitors, and must bo doing woll. My friend fell
in with Mr. Bucklin., tho proprietor, who insisted
on our making short work of abottle of champagne
—that Sillery Mousbloux, made by Jacques Goorg,
of Chalons-sur-Marno, so greatly pmod in Paris,
and so little known here. Of course, wo made our
host orach a bottle with us, and then drove into
Hastings (4 miles) in twonty-one minutes, whioh
was protty good, after tho previous work the oattlo
luid done.
A kind reception in a charming cottage ornes,
(us a fino double house is called hero,) a glanoo of
admiration at a solid littio baby, another of Recog
nition at a tromondously sun-burnt little girl—
dinner—a cigar—and another team, which carried
us on to Tarrytown, past miles upon milcsof villas,
built by tho poor Now Yorkers, a drive through
Sleepy Hollow, undpast Washington Irving’s beau
tiful cottago, and then, on returning, a smile from
a pretty young face, under the most stupendous
bloomer-hat over seen off tho stago, and a eup of
creamed ton from tbo hnppy mother of tho mag
niOcent baby uforesaid, and so finished tho day—.
one of the ploasant days ono often wishos for.
Next morning I wont down in tho Hudson Itivor
cars, and it was oloar that no ono wag very down
cast. Few, but those iu New York, who were
doing business on small capital and a forced credit,
can seriously suffer. Outside New York, particu

PHD St ROME, GEORGIA.
fOorrsipopdcnce of The Press.J
t ‘ ‘ , ti T Roirc, Georgia,'Aujf. 2^,ia&7.
Rome is the largest and best commercial town in
the old Cherokee oountry; this, to those not
posted on the old maps of our country some twenty
five years ago. whon the wild Indians of tho Chero
kee tribe had this for their homes and hunting
grounds, may appear of no great importance, but
whon it is known that the Cherokeo Indians occu
pied a space in tho States of Georgia, Tennessee,
and Alabama ns largo as tho State of New Jersey,
they will admit, at least, it is worthy of noto.
Borne, Georgia, like its anoient namesake in
Italy, is built ou seven high hills, at tho junotion
of tho Oosiannula and Etowah rivers, where they
form tho Coosa river, contains about 6,000 inhabi
tants, and with its hills, rivers and sconery, form
ing one of tho most picturesque spots in the United
States. Tiie climate is remarkably temperate for
this latitude, owing to the mountainous character
of the country for miles around. It is a very
important grain and cotton market, the val
leys along tho rivers here producing the heaviest
nnd besbkind of crops; and it is really astonishing
to seo the immenso amount of wheat brought to
Home in wagons, and by steamboat np the Coosa,
for transhipment over tho Home Railroad for the
Northern market. It is bought up by speculative
buyers hero from all tho surrounding country, and
one dollar per bushel is the lowest price it has
brought until within a week post, whon a down
ward tendenoy was noted in the price of wheat,
and the fanners prefer keeping it to selling it at
less than ono dollar. Most of the buyers havo,
however, withdrawn from tho market, not betug
able to deliver wheat North at the same prices
our Northern farmers can—freights being so ex
cessively high, one bushel of wheat costing hero
ono dollar will cost ono dollar and sixty cents
before it reaches Philadelphia or Now York, and
to sell it at Northern prices leaves no margin for
profits. Over 250,000 bushels of wheat were car
ried over the Homo Railroad alone this past two
months, and In many cases tho railroad company
has been unablo to furnish enough cars to take it
away, wbilo tho depot and storehouses of buyors
woro crowded with it.
Tho corn crop is also very largo, and the yield of
eorn in this section of tho country will show a
crop equal to any two previous crops. A whole
crop of ono plnnt&tion of corn sold at thirty cents
par bußhel, to bo dolivorod at tho depot in Romo.
Already tho people are getting ready to shell, nnd
in a few instances have shelled their oorn; this
being a very backward season, owing to the heavy
rains, Ac. in the early part of tho season, yet it is
far ahead of tho cornoropin our own State, Penn
sylvania.
Enough of this, and let us turn to other notable
features of enterprise about Rome: among them
is tho extensive Machine and Steam Engine Works
of Messrs. Noble, Brothers A Co. Their works
occupy ovor three acres of ground; thoy havo tho
credit oi first builders of locomotives south of the
Potomao river, having built one lost summer for
tho Rome Railroad. Thoy are laboring under a
great disadvantage, from tho necessity of having
to buy all Iron used from tho North, whereas, had
the resulont people hore ono-fourthof tho energy and
enterprise of Pennsylvanians, they would, long ago,
havo obviated this diffloulty by building rolling-mills
undfurnaocs, thus rendering the purchase of iron
North, with the heavy freight cost added, unneces
sary. It will require tho aid nnd energy of about
adaieu live Pennsylvania Yankees to stir themnp
with a long pole. This is all that is wanted hore
to make Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama States
that will, in a monsure, compare with tho North,
ern States for resources
The country around abounds in coal and iron of
tho best qualities, and could bo workod up at very
little oxponse, comparativelyspoaking. Along the
Coosa river, for miles and miles, is ono vast bed of
coal, while iron oro of tho purost kind can be
turned over with a shovel in all parts of Cherokee.
Whilo on Ibb subject of iron and coal, I would
mention that, to Northern capitalists, a field of en
terprise could bo started boro that would easily
equal ill magnitude end profits tho immense iron
and coal speculations of Pennsylvania.
Thcro have boon in tho past two years several at
tempts made to start a rolling mill here, but with
no success.
They havo in Romo a Fomalo College, where
girls uro taught tho same branches ns those in our
grammar schools; as to common schools, no suoh
thing exists, although a movement in tho right
quarter is being mode to establish them in Georgia.
Tho city owns ono fire company—the Oosta
naula Engine; it would take some of our boys a
long while to got used to suoh a name, but sinoe it
was built there has not been one fire in Rome,
whether through fear of “that engine,” or not, I
can’t say. Writing of fire engines brings to my
mind tho anecdote connected with a Reading Fire
Company, while on a visit to Philadelphia. Among
its morabers was one named Dunklo. Dunkle
joined just previous to their visit, and while in
Philadelphia, Dunkle was continually harping on
his capacities as a fireman, wishing for a big firo,
do. The chance occurred that same evening for
Dunkle to display himself— several buildings In
Strawberry alloy were on fife— tho Reading boys
were early on the ground; Dunkle got the hoao to
lead out, and was to attach it to the ongine.
.The boys began to look what Dunkle was doing,
when lo! and behold, there he was perspiring, try
ing to sorew the hose on the hub of the engine, the
boys all haw-hawed with a good will. Dunkle

dropped the hose and took, hold of the lever, and
no one ever heard him f/oumoia what he would
and what he would not do in case of a fire. No

, There .were,‘.however, £wo ( great distinctions
claiming the most serious attepUon. of .pilgrims to
eternity, and which could perhaps be most vividly
inftgined by visiting the graves of; the departed.
To pass, through the ayeauea of our cemeteries,
where sleep the oherisbod dead, and read the vari
ous inscriptions-which bereaved' affection’ had
written upon their tomb-stones, was alike Inter*
csting, solemn ahd'affebtlng; yet, if eyerv tomb*
etono could speak and tell the'desfciny of the soul,
tho remnant of whose slumbering'dost it marks,
there would be but twoepiUhs proclaimed through
out nil the cities of the silent dead :
. i ” Vied i.y, Christ.' 1
14 Vied' our op Christ.”
To the inquiry “ what it • wai to bo in Christ,”
he would answer:' It is to be q Christian '
Our union with Christ, 1 U by profes
sion, hut inwardly, by a,living,.work-produolng
faith.' x t | |
He; knew it was bard to understand how.wf
;could ,be in Christ. * A 'pupil, for - egßmple f might
»be greatly attached to his teacher, yet it ooutd not
be> said that he was t» the teacher. The same
might also be said of a physician' and his patient.
But Christ was' more than teacher Or & physician.
A vital union with the Saviour was possible and es
sentially necessary to be a Christian. 'We were
spiritually in Christ, as we naturally in
Adam. A beautiful symbol of this spiritual en
trance into Christ was'had in the,cities of refuge
for the man-slayer, spoken, of iq the Old Testa
ment. Those dries, as the record declared, had
been set upon a hill, and wherever the roads lead
ing to them were intricate or doubtful, directing
words were distinctly written for the fleeing.crimi
nal's guidance. Jut so rebel sinners now &fe
being warned and entreated' by ministers of the
Gospel to flee from ti# wrath to come, and enter
Into Christ by.acceptipg the Jriu proffered
delivernnob. *\ s'*,' ‘ '/]"
Anotjioy Old Testament type of Christ as’e re
fuge, was afforded in the Ark. Noah would have
‘boon-jnfefM much exposed to ; the ‘destroying ele
ment as other people, had he not entered the Ark;
but iu doing this In the spirit of obedience, be was
borne upon the ocean world and safely, wafted <0
the Mount pfdelivorance. In like manner, Christ
was the only Ark of safety to a dying world—Us
only shield from the wrath of God a gainst unright
eousness. But, he would ask, what would it have
benefited ft man to follow the Ark without entering
»«fo it? Not tho least; and yet just so little is he
benefited who is merely willing to follow Christ as
a Teacher, instead of ’entering into him as a Sa -
I viour.
The “vine and branches” illuitration in the
New Testament, was also eloquently suggestive of
tho necessity of having a vital connexion with
Christ. The branch might be tied to the tree
never so firmly, hut unless H abide in the tree, it
could never bear fruit.
It was not sufficient for ua morely to put our
names upon the church books, or to follow Christ,
but we must be in Christ if we would ever see the
emerald bow around the throne of the Eternal,
which John describes in his vision.
This subject, however, was, to some extent, di
vested of its difficulty to comprohond, when wo re
flect that whatever wo do as believers in Christ, we
do by the life of Christ that isin us. Thislawwas
just as fixed as that we performed physical motions
by the luttural life that is in us.
There were two ingredients which entered into
tho benediction in the text:
First, they rest from, their labors .
Wo all know that this was a world of toil, of
labor and of pain—-that diseases afflicted the body,
that the mind had its doubts and tho heart its
sorrows; there was no eye that was not sometimes
dimmed with tears, no heart that was not sometimes
root with grief. Of thodead, then, who have 11 died
in the Lord,” we might well exclaim,
“ Thrice happy souls, who’re gone before
To that inheritance divine 2
They labor, sorrow, sigh no more,
But bright in endless glory sbriue.”
Of tho second ingredient above referred to, viz.,
li thetr works do follow them,” the speaker
wished to impress upon his hearers that tho trea
sure of these works would be a glorious heritage
in heaven; that the labors which tho faithful
Christian performed here were essential to the
beneficent design of his probationary state.
The exercise of Christian charity was tho great
developer, and our failing to embrace the opportu
nities here afforded for doing good to suffering
humanity, would bo incurring a loss, never to be
repaired horeaftor, as in heaven, where sin and
suffering cannot enter, such labors will not be
needed; yet there wore doubtless other enjoy
ments provided, which could only be realized in
tho higher and holier avocations of heaven.
But in view of the fact that our works are to
follow us, what a privilege it was to have them ac
cumulate !
This text, the speaker thought, was clearly in
dicative that the soul, on loaving the body, went
immediately to Hoaven without any such state as a
purgatorial interval. It was a fatal mistake, en
tirely too prevalent, that tho sou! could enter
Heaven on the moritof works instead of grace.
If a man expected his good works to precede him
to Hoavon to push open tho door, he would be
doomed to disappointment, as the most that works
could do, even fur a Balnt on entering Heaven, was
to “follow him.” Good works alone could be no
preparatory messengers, as the Lamb of God, who
taketh away tho sins of tho world, was distinctly
expressed as our only forerunner. Humbly we
must scok this gracious inheritance; —
“ la my hand no prica I bring,
Simply to Thy Cross I cling,”
must be our conviction.
Mauy other valuablo and important remarks
were mado by this popular dirlne, which the want
of space compels us to omit.
Tho speaker romarked, in conclusion, that hp
thought it was a most deplorable thing for a man
to toil hard all his life, and yet when he came to
Me have nothing; and yet this was precisoiy the
condition of every one, (no matter how rich he
might bo in earthly goods,) who neglected to lay
up a treasure in Heaven.
His final oppoal to the unconverted was earnest
and couvlncing, and, no doubt, hud its effect; and
moat nffoetionatcly did ho entroat all present to
hear it constantly in mind that the only two epitaphs
written by the finger of God upon the tombs of
men were—
“ Bird IH Christ. 1 '
