Impudence.
Notwithstanding Col. Dechert was
recently elected to the state senate by
*" 1800 majority, some of the radicals ol
the Ist district have the impudence to
present petitions contesting his seat.
Before the election For nop Press, and
ali the radical sheets of Philadelphia,
spoke of Col. IVchert as an honorable
man, eminently fit for the seuate; and
after the election the Press said that
he had been fairly elected, yet in the
face of 1300 majority, radical? now
have the braxeu faced impudence to
offer petitions to contest the seat to
which he was fairly chosen. Could
impudence go farther! We ai glad
to notice that the democrats nf the scu
tfe very cooly voted to postpone the
matter. -Such men, down in pande
monium, will prove very troublesome
customers, and be continually contest
ing the right of Satan to the mastery
of his pool.
We invite the attention of our rea- :
en iu general, aud those of Mi.es
Pemt and Haines in particular, to an*
article in another column, upou the
suhjeet of Narrow Guago Railroads.
The article will repay peru-ml, as it
proves the complete practicability of
these novel roads for certain localities,
affording every facility for local traffic
in trade, passengers and speed, which
are obtained by the ordinary and
vastly more expensive guage.
Such a road is now in successful op
eration in Wales. Its comparative
cheapness of construction puts it with
in the reach of localities which may
be uuable to furnish the means to
grade the guage now in use, which is
as much as the whole cost of construc
tion of the narrow guage. A rough
estimate by a practical engiueer gives
the cost of the rmd at about SSOOO
per mile.
A road of this kind might be con
structed from some point iu Bruh
valley, say Rabersbnrg. and intersect
with the L. C. <l* S. C. at Millbeim,
or at the forks, should it prove im
practicable for the latter to strike
Millheim, so desirable on account of
its favorable location for the trade of
Brush valley and the lower end of
Penns valley. The entire cost of a
narrow guage road from Raliersburg
to Millheim, distance 5 miles, would
be $25,000. And should to favorable
route be found from the forks to Spring
Mills, via Millheim, it would require
an additional extension of about 21
miles, at a cost of $12,500 —making
71 miles of narrow guage road from j
Rabersburg to the forks, with the ea
siest immaginahle grade, at a cost of
$37,500. The simple grading of the
L. C. & <S. C. RR. per mile, will cost
more than 1 mile complete of the nar
row guage road. We think a road
of this kind could be put down be
tween the above points, at even a less
figure, as the above estimate includes
cost of right of way, and we think we
are safe in saying the right of way
from' Rabersburg to the forks would
not cost a cent, as the streams could
be followed nearly the whole distance,
and these are the natural railroad
courses.
These suggestions we present for the
consideration of other localities be
sides the above, and invite their atten
tion to the a i tide upon this subject,
in another oolumn.
How It was Did.
In last week's REPORTER we ex
pressed the opinion that although
Robert Mackey would be the caucus
nominee of the rads for state treasurer,
yet there was prospect of bolting, and
his being defeated as was bis lot last
year. In this we find ourselves mista
ken, ns Mackey was elected on last
Wednesday, receiving every radical
vote, notwithstanding there was a bit
ter opposition to him, andjradical mem
bers threatened to assist in his defeat
This trouble was all healed up in the
Continental Hotel, Philadelphia, by
the application of a sticking plaster
costing $50,000. The triumph was a
Cameron triumph, and a defeat of the
Curt in wing of the republican party, i
and th& agreement is that Mackey i
quietly iillows the surplus funds to be i
wed in Cameron's railroadspeculations ]
down in Georgia. I
$50,000 did it. I
And that's the way it was did. 1
And that's why it was did. f
Grant and Motley. <
• And now Grant has a bitter quarrel ]
with Mr. Motley, his late minister to 1
England, whom he removed andaa- t
pointed Gen. Schenck, of Ohio, in his c
place. The correspondence between t
Motley and Mr. Fish, Grant's sec re.
tary of state, was made public last v
week, and is too lengthy for our col- j
uiun . otley complains of unfair- g
tuts, injustice, and gross want of de
cent and courteous treatment on the p
prrt of the administration; says that °
he all along tried to do his si
duty m London, and endeavored
to carry out his instructions from n
Washington. Mr. Fish replta sharp
IT, and in s stvto which atwars that the
administration Mow! is hot; ha dmw?
iht* gad **'•" Motley's bank with a
xehemcnce that tusks every txu leave j
its smarting welt. Motley protests j
and says, he was a good bay : Fish
says he was uaug)ity, ami most he
punished, Motley received ail invita
tion to resign, in the summer but snii
he did not like to tio that, as it looketi
too much as if he resigned to escape
being called to an account, and that
he held on, and was resolved to make
the President remove him. lie furth
er charges the president for removing
him. because he v Motley) was a trieud
of Sutuner, who was not just now in
great love with Giant.
This light, and the correspondence
| that it has thrown before the public,
I is a disgace to our country, as it shows
the lowest passions on the part of men
whose high stations leave us to look
i for a more dignified bearing, aud the
bitterness displayed will have a temlen
!cy to belittle American statesman —
at least thoae now at the helm—in the
eyes of other nations.
Mr. Fish leu the rod fall severely up
on Motley and we think the ex-nnnis
ter gets the worst of the affair.
At the aunual meeting of the Read
ing R. R. Co., held in Philadelphia,
last week, a healthy exhibit was made
of the affairs of that company. The
report submitted shows:
Gross reeeipU for the year $11,31 V, SSI
Gross expenses for the year h,KTb,'J73
The roiling *tock consists of SOW locomo
tive*. 101 passcnger-car*, and roal
and freight cars. The company r.ow own
six steam colliers.
We present this for the benefit of;
the friends of she L. C- & S. C. K. H.
Our road will be * paying one, beyond
a question —that it will IK ABLE to
show ns gratifiying an exhibit as the
Reading railroad we will not say, but
if oulv to one forth the extent, it will
be a good paying investment. But
even should the expenditures of our
road eat up the income—which we do
not at all apprehend—the advantages,
facilities, aud enhancement in the val
ue of ail kinds of property along the
line, will bring an indirect return,
worth more to the people of Peun's
valley, than the dividends of auy rail
-1 road in the United States—and it is
this which we must keep iu view.
The new Constitution of the State
of Illinois provides against the evil of
special legislation, from which that
State used to suffer so much, and from
which many States still suffer. It for
bids the enactment of any but general
laws for such objects as granting di
vorces, changing names of persons and
places, incorpoiating cities, towus, and
villages, granting the right of laying
down railroad tracks, or giving any
special or exclusive privileges, immu
nity, or franchise whatever. If this
provision is loyally observed by the
Illinois Legislature, it will cut off a
fruitful source of corruption of iu
members.
These are wholesome provisions,
aud as the present session of our state
legislature will in all probability au
thorize the holding of a convention to
revise our state constitution, we hope
that the curae of special legislation
will be attended to, and private jobs,
log-rolling and schemes will be pro
hibited by constitutional enactment.
Legislature.
Harrisburg, Jan. 11.—Mr. Gmnell
presented the petition of certain citi
zens of Philadelphia contesting the
seat of Colouel Robert P. Dechcrt, re
turned from the first senatorial dis

Mr. Connell offered a resolution
that the senate proceed to draw a com
mittee to try the case to-morrow at

Two petitions were introduced, con
testing the seats of Mr. John Lamon
and Mr. Samuel M. Hager. sitting
members from the twelfth and elev
enth districts of Philadelphia respect

fraudulent alteration of returns.
By Mr. Dill, an act relnting to costs

Marble In Clinton Co.
The Lock Haven Republican savs:
Some time during last summer, whilst
Mh J. F. Peeling was-making some
examinations as to the quality of au
extensive quarry of building stone, on
the farm of Mr. Wallace W. Brown,
of Lamar township, a short distance
from Salona, his attention was attrac
ted by a peculiar rock which crops out
along the banks of Fishing creek, and
knocking off a few pieces he brought
them home for a further examination,
believing them to be a good quantity
of variegated marble. The specimens
polished up beautifully, and upon be
ing sent to Philadelphia, Williamsp.irt,
and other places, came back pronounc
ed marble of a very fine quality. The
Suarry has been leased for a perkd of
lirty years by Messrs. J. F. Peeling,
Col. J. W. Smith and Wm. Blesh,
whose intention it is to open the quar
r'es'as soon as their arrangements can
be completed and the Spring season
shall favor operations.
We se by the Auditor General's report,
page 182, tnat Gov. Q ea^L ß mansion has
been supplied with a $1,500 piane, at the
expense of the state. As Geary's legs are

The Moral lk*r*datioh of the Gov
nrnmcttt I* the Hnnita of tMn
Orollt. 1
Grant's *dmbdslfatU\b is a failure. '
It is wot- e nvetl than that—it has low (
ered us in the estimation of other pro ,
plos, and brought the blush of shame ,
upon the cheek of every American i
citixrn. This is not alone the testi- '
niony of the democratic press, hut al* |
must every prominent leader of the
radical party, and many of the leading
j radical journals, upon the moral degra
datiou the country has suffered under
imbecility of the Grunt regime.
Grant has now got into hitter quarrel
with Motley, American minister to
j England, and double-dyed radical.
Bumner, Rebuff, and other radical
lenders, are denouncing his imbecility.
' as we have already shown in the Lb
i itiHTKK, to all of which we may add
| another sample, from the N. . Sun,
! edited by Chau. A. Dana, asstaot sec
ratarv of war under Lincoln, ami nev
er anything but a stern opponent of tbe
democratic party. In his issue of the
! Uth insL, he says:
It is surprising how little indigna
i lion is excited in the couutry by the
degraded moral tone which Gen.
Grant has intinduced into the conduct
;of the national Government. He has
appointed men to the highest places
| for the sole reason that they have giv
| en him presents ; he has conferred up
; on his own and his wife's relations ev
i cry post of power aud emolument in
| to which they could be crowded—all
without any regard to their fitness or
unfitness; and he has kept Bancroft
Davis, the bribe taker, in one of the
! most important offices of his Adminis
tration for nearly a year after the
; Legislature of Massachusetts had
E roved and published the fact that he
ad taken a bribe of sixty thousand
| dollars to betray his constituents and
j defraud his clients. This Is not dis
i j pnted ; it cannot be ; the evidence is
, | irresistible ; and it stands aiming tne
i authentic public documeuts of Mtts***
') chusetl*. Davis has not nttempted to
' deny it or to palliate it any manner.
• I The fact is confessed ; the iniquity is
• i braicn ; and Gen. Grant gives it his
, approval and makes it his own by
keepitig in high station the luau of
' j whom such things arc known to be
"! true. And such is the tyranny of the
5 j party that even men like Henry Wil
, | son, Charles Sumner, and George W.
~! Curtis, who especially represent the
j conscience of the Republican body,
* ! view this fact with silent acquies*
*, cenne.
This is a state of official morals nev
er before witnessed in our country.
There never before was a President
who wtuld have thought for n mo
ment o." retaining in a place of honor
a man who had been proved capable
of betraying the most solemu trust
for a bribe. There is not to-day
iu all Christendom a public man who
will stand up in the face of the world
and openly attempt to defend the re
tention of such a person in office.
It was reserved for Gen Grant thus
to bid defiance at once to the public
conscience and to political expediency.
Poor, infatuated, foolish man ! prefer
ring to heap useless favors upon one
proved to be a bribe-taker, rather
than to gain for himself the respect
and confidence of those who esteem
honesty and fidelity as indispensable
requisites for the exercise of authority
in a republican government.
Beecher earns fur his church over
fifty thousand dollars per vear, and re
ceives twenty thousand dollars salary.
He has recently taken up a new de
partment in theology, which may as
tonish some of his Calvin istic brethren,
but will not alarm any of his congre
gation. Thcv will follow him wher
ever he goes. The following is the la
test utterance:
To teach that we are so completely
dependent upon God that we cannot
employ our reason or control our owu
and yet that we are damnable
for not doing what no power was given
to man to do, this, 1 say, conflicts with
our every idea of a governor, be he
omnipresent or be he finite. No ruler
has the right to require of men more
than he has given them power to per
form. And the power must be inherent
in the individual. If man is so de
pendent upon God that he cannot do
anything, then he is responsible for
nothing. There can be no responsibili
ty except upon the supposition that
man has freedom of action and has in
herent powar to control himself and
his actions. There have been times
when men felt themselves tied up with
this doctrine that they could do noth
ing without God ; that their every ac
tion was dependent upon Him, and that
yet they were responsible for what they
did, as well as for much they did not
do. When reduced to this poibt the
doctrine is simply a net of abomina
tion, which violates every utterance of
our Lord, and it an antagonism to
every tendency of the Scriptures.

The Harrisburg correspondentoftho Val
ley Spirit says;
The organization wan not entirely unat
tended with excitement. Considerable con
fusion wns manifested on the Republican
side by Capt. Skinner moving, when the
subordinate officers were ab<uttobechosen i
that the name of Wm. J. Ovens, the Radi
cal nominee for Sergeant at Arms, be
stricken out and the name of Capt. James H.
Cooper be inserted. He argued in support
of his motion that Capt. Cooper had been
a brave and gallant soldier and was deserv
ing of the position ; while Ovens, instead of
having been a soldier, stood charged with
being the murderer of a soldier. Bad,
however, as is the character of Overts, he
was sustained for the position by the votes
of very Republican member. Many of
your renders will recollect Ovens as the
man who killed Col. Riddlesometwoyeari
ago in Philadelphia. He was tried for
murder, and the jury after having been out
two days failed to agree. Subsequently he
managed to he releasd, through the conni
vance of Wm. B. Mann, the then District
Attorney. He is the keeper of a low rum
shop in one of the vilest parts of the city,
and has never been known to make an hon
est penny. Such is the character of the
man the Republican majority of the House
have chosen for its chief executive officer.
Burning of an Italian Ship.

Boston, January 10.—A letter dated
Batuvia, November lU, received in this city
states that the Italian ship Ancona, from
Macao, for Callio, with coolies was set on
tire when near Neptune island, and abandon
ed by the captain and crew, who were saved
by a Ban Salvador ship. One hundrud and
twelve of the coolies were picked up by the

Seveu Thousand Dollars Stolen.
Lock Haven, January 9.—Quite an ex

knocked the knob of the door off the safe
and inserted nitro glycerine, than covered
it with a wet Buffalo robe, and caused an

jVurrttw ftttdgo Railroad*.
! k TIW rtew method <>f constructing local
'railway* which ha* been adopted and i*
now in ucceaful operation between Port
Mndoc and F*iiniog, in Wales, seem*
i he well w.-rth\ the attention ot small coin-f
inuiiitie* living in the interior of the t-ouu
! try who desire to have cheap branch rail :
road* to connect with main line*. All the
; clement* that enter into the economy of.
transportation arc combined in the Welsh
railroad. It ha* u narrow track, a two
fool gauge and light ©hgilles nnd ear*, j
The road in question runs through a di(H-J
cult country, and wn* origiiHlU built for
the purpoe oriralUpoi tlUg slate and stone
fW'Mi (he hill* of Merimethshire to the *ea
shore. The perfect adaption to this u*e,
! and the excellent manner in whleh the
j road and machinery withstood the enoi
mmi* strain that was put upon them, sug
gested the transformation of what was, al
llr>t, a simple tramway into a railroad fer
I passenger* nnd trndh-. Since then the suc
cess of the road has been remarkable
Whilst other roads, running furlong dis
tance* and constructed at great cost, have
been pacing with difficulty annual divi
dend* not exceeding five percent , and fre
quently less, this little Welsh road has
yielded net revenue of thirty percent.
Tli* London Colliery Guardian explains
)itlte luridly the reason of this difference
"It is," says that Journal, "because the
dead weight and the paying weight is so
much lew than upon other railways. The
engine and tender upon this line weigh on
ly ten tons, aguiiot furty tons upon the
wider gauge of other line*. Instead of a
tiret class carriage, weighing seven and u
half tons, to carry thirty-two passenger*
and representing nearly live hundred
pounds of dead weight for each passenger,
the carriages on the Fctiniog Kuilroad
weigh only a ton and a half (or twelve pas
sengers, or hut two hundred and fitly
pounds dead weight for each passenger
carried. '
It will thus he observed that the savingj
in dead weight alone is immense. But i
this is among the lenst of the advantage-!
presented by n narrow road of wider j
gauge, and with rolling stock so heavy thai!
by its mere weight and friction and jar it i
hreaking the road t<> pieces.
The whole cost of grading and bridg
ing a narrow track road would tie.
under favorable circumstance*, only a few ;
thousand dollars a mile, while the ex
penses of engines and ears and the working
charge- would he on an equally moderate
scale. "We do not go so far.'S ny* the
London Railway News, "that a two-foot
gauge will furnish the railway of the fu
ture, but we are confident that it* econo
my and efficiency will cause it to be exten
sively adopted."
The perfect success of the Festiniog
Road, its cheapness and the large divi
dends it ha- declared, open up to our eoun
| try friend- an example by which they can
• not only obtain facilities for teaching the
nexre-t market at a cheap rnte, but can
make at the sa.ne time the enterprise prof
itable to the stockholder*.
By adopting the Welsh plan they can
have a railroad which will an-wer all their
pur|*ose-, at one sixth the coat of ordinary
) railways, **v one-half the expenses at
I dead weight, be far less taxed for wear and
'tear, whilst the working expenses would
| be reduced to the smallest amount that i>
j compatible with safety and efficiency.
The gauge of the Festiniog Railroad ii
| but two feet, or, to speak with extreme ac
j curacy, only one foot eleven and a hall
I inches. The locomotives used on the rond
I weigh about ten tons, coaled and watered,
| and the tenders a lilllo over a ton. Thf
j passenger carriages are, for the most part,
seated longitudinally, the passengers sitting
back to back. This arrangement, of course
; brings tbe centre of gravity immediately
1 over the rails, and renders the wide projee
j tion of the earring-- over the line on each
, side of comparatively little consequence
j The carriages are about *ix feet wide and
| six feet six inches high in the centre, and
■ ' each seated for fourteen passenger*. Di
, minutive though these vehicles are, they
afford a- ample and comfortable acconi'
mediation as the enormous carriages upoi
i ordinary lines, and are in strong contra*
. with them in the much higher proportioi
they afford of "paying" to dead weight—
i the dead weight hauled on the Festinioj
' Railway i, indeed reduced to the utmosl
• minimum. • • • • • The carriagi
wheels are 18 inche- in diameter, and thi
! floor* of the vehicle only about 7 inchci
above the roadway. The train* have a tru
|ly comical appearance; from the lowne*
]of the door* and the invisibility of thi
' j wheel*, they are much more like boxe
1 1 upon short roll* rs than ordinary railway o
! ; other wheeled carriage*."
I So much for the road and it- carriage*
It might, however, be suppposed that suet
i a road, so cquip|ed, would not bo capabh
j of carrying on a heavy traffic, and that i
1 must be looked upon rather a* a curious toy
i than as adapted to really useful praetioa
' everyday pur|>o#o. Nothing can be furthei
from the fact. It i* aro d which has beer
for tome years past in active operation. I
carries daily a considerable number of pa
scngers to and from Port Madou, and *
large amount of heavy freight—the lattei
consisting principally of valuable slato ant
building stone from the Festiniog quarries
The cheapness with which this road wai
built, the peculiar lightness of its equip
ment and the handsome profits it has pair
to its stockholder*—not less than fifty pei
cent, annually—hnve led to the construe
tion .if similar roads In other parts o
• Wales. The attention of a large number o
capitalists and civil engineers has also beer
stroagly attracted to the sqjiject. Abou'
three week* ago a party of distinguished
professional gentlemen left London foi
Port Modoc to be pre< nt at a series of ex
periments which was instituted fur the pur
pose of testing the relative power of th<
engines in use on the Festiniog Road with
anew locomotive which had boen built foi
the same road by Mr. Fairlie. The com
petition was to be between the "Welsh Po
ny"—that being the name of the best loco
motive at work on the road—and Mr Fair
lie* "Little Wonder." The latter i de
scribed as "a double bogie," being com
posed of two engines on one frame, both
exercising tractive power. The little ten
ton locomotive "Welsh Pony" was first
put to work, and afler various tests it was
found, of the minimum of its power, to be
capable of draw ng easily thirty-one slate
trucks, weighing seventy-seven tons, up a
grade of one foot in eighty-five. The "Lit
tle Wonder," weighingnineteen and a-half
tons, was next tried. It was yoked to a
train of one hundred and twenty-live trucks,
seven passenger carriages and a boat car
riage. The weight of the truin was one
hundred and fourteen tons fourteen hun
dred weight. It* length was three hundred
and eighty yards. "It might huve been
feared," says a correspondent of the Lon
don Telegraph, "that such a dimunitive
affair a* the' Little Wonder' would have
been beaten by such a loed and such a road,
but it was not." It glided with perfect
smoothness round the constantly recurring
sharp curves of thomountain, overcame the
gradients with perfect ease, and made the
entire journey from Port Mndocto Featini
og—fourteen mile.#— within less than one
hour. Among those who witnessed this
remarkable feat were English officers con
nected with the Public Work* Departuw nt
of India, Royal Ei pincers from Bombay,
Civil Engineer* representing the Madras
and the Northern Panjaub Railways, and
other Civil Engineers from Brazil ami
Canada. The final te*t was the relative
consumption of coal. In this respect also,
the FHirlic engine demonstrated its superi
ority by showing a saving over all other
engines of fifty per cent, on the weight
hauled.
Grant has found another relative. Ilis
name is Sam Domingo, arid Charley Sum
ner is anxious to blacken his eyes.

dm'* not make n better nor worse.'
The above were hit introductory re
mark*, and in order to condense tin
matter a* much a* jamnible, 1 mtisi
omit many thing* which lie *uid.
The human family is divided into three
general clause*, viz: Christian, Mo
hiiutuieduii and Catholic; to the Chris
tian church belong* the duty of en
lightening the Mohammedan, and the
Catholic church, in her power away*
the scooter of sectionalism uml wield*
her influence in the Old World to the
detriment of the true principles ol
Christianity and the effect* thereof art
even manifest in our own country. The
religion of Jesus Christ is the only true
religion and to it we owe nil we have,
life, liberty and all the blessings w
enjoy. The term Armageddon signifies
a place of great slaughter. The na
live* of the enrth, Cog ami Magog,
shall bo engaged in terrible conflict,
all of them riding upon hones, agreut
company, a mighty army as a cloud to
cover the land it shall he iu the latter
days, every man's sword shall IK
against hi* brother. That the sign* ol
the times indicate a speedy dissolution
of thing* mundane, i* evident from the
fact that prophecy is lieiug fulfilled,
that nation is turned against nation,
the kings of the earth are at variance
with each other, and every man's hand
i* turned against his brother, and the
whole world is likely to be involved in
a general war. Karltnpinkes, wars
ami rumors of wars have come to pas*
ami 1 believe the sixth seal is about
being opened, that the heavens will
depart asascroll that is rolled together,
uml the kings of the earth and all th<-
mightv men of valor, every bond man
and every free man will hide himself in
the dens, ami in the rocks of the moun-
Itains, and say to them, Fall on us mid
hide us from the fucc of him that sit
teth upon the throne ami from the
wrath of the land ; you may think I
do not know w hat I-ay and |ieopie will
tell you not lo believe me, but before
six months have elapsed you may be
hold these things for yourselves, and
realize that God, in his wrath will, iu
sist cn the fulfillment of prophecy , . .
That thi* battle will take p.ace is
evident from the fact that God revealed
it to the revelntor, the exact locality
of Amngedilon is not known, eminent
men are of the opiuion that it is the
valley of the Mississippi, but I believe
the great battle will be before the city
of Jertmelctn, and it seems that all the
contending armies are tending in that
direction.
"That the struggle will take place
soon is evident from the fact that men
despite the labors of the ministry and
the influence of the Christian church,
aregrowing worse, and the world ha*
become one vast sink hole of iniquity.j
It is a hard matter to find a true child'
of God, men worship false goda and
unite themselves with the church from
motives of self-interest, l'rofessors ul
j religion are not all Christians and
pretend lo serve God from selfish ino
tivea. Pride, 100, has taken a seat in
the church. Thirty years ago I could
tell a Methodist minister by lus clothes.
Distinguish a Methodist now, if you
please, from n member of any other
denomination by his apparel. They
all love fine clothes and live up to tht
customs of the day whether right or
wrong. They, too, instead of preach
ing Christ, preached war and destruc
, tion to the rcbhs bv which our country
was divided and many lives lost, and
they told the people God would bless
1 them for it. Other denominations
have a stiff system of formality by
which they pretend to worship, their
|doctrines. "Once in grace always in
j grace,' not being in accordance with
the letter of the gospel, can not have
I any good influence.
ii "Most preachers preach for money
, r exclusively now. Their immense
( ] salaries are but incentives to preach
for money and not for the good of
w ! souls. 1 have preached for nine years
>. at a salary of about thirty-five dollars
H |>er year and I live comfortably. Peo
>r j pie will tell vou I come to preach for
money, but 1 beg leave to be excused
>l-of any such motives. Ido not preach 1
)fj for money, hut us winter is near I need
n money too and would be thankful if
it you gave me some." A collection wttj
d held and the sum of forty cents was
"■ received which was given him and he
> went on his way rejoicing. Those are
"• the principal points of Ills sermon and
I now proceed to comment upon them.
From the interest manifested in the
' r cause which he has espoused, I believe!
'* the man is honest and expresses his
true sentiments. The Revelation is
'* fraught with much mystery to man and
columns of commentaries upon this
subject have been written by eminent
ministers and no two exactly agree
t j Many useful inventions ware reserved
( for men whose lives were enveloped in
s obscurity, and may it not have bean
e reserved for this man, who now rises, :
e as it were from some remote region, to I
„ explain the mysteries of at least some
„ portion of divine writ?
f But wo find one objection to his j
• sermon. It was not reserved for any
, man to judge of the spiritual condition I
•of sister denominations. "By the fruit'
t ye shall know the tree." A man'sclothes;
- are no index to the condition of his
1 heart, and fine dress is no evidence of!
1 pride. True, a tattered garment mav j
• cover the region of an honest, Christian!
' henrt but Godhns put it into the heart
• of man to enjoy himself and if thej
• wearing of costly garmeuts be an en*
1 joymentto him, without engrossing his
' attention, it is evident that the mere
quality of dress does not defile the
heart. The cut of the coat does not
make the mau.and I do not believe it <
| is the preacher's province to criticise
. dress; convince and convert the soul, 1
and in due time fashion will regulate ,
itself. "Let all things be done decent- i
iyandin order.' Tidinessand system are
closely allied to order, and order is "
Heaven's first law. Order should be
gin at home, and the body is the house J
we live in. Temporally, we love fiae,
ornamental houses and there is nothing
wrong in this. God has given us a body <
for the spirit to dwell in, and none butlj
sluggards will allow their tenements! f
and appurtenances thereto to becomej(
i dilapidated; hundreds derive their sup- J
port from the articles we wear, the finer;,
|t he clothes the more costly they are, — t
hence we but perform a benevolent act s
when we Wear that which gives the "
tpust revenue to the producer, lam .i

With regard to hi* remark* con

•.criptiou lit or a corbau thrust ui
close proximity to the uaaal organ. So

most rigidly, ami which is "a* and em
