The Theme qf his Hcnuon was the Presence of Uod. IT.; sal.l that nowhere in written bistory is the presence of Go J sj wonderfully made nianife&t as in the liis.tr.ry of lr&tt. God was with his Tootle Ir.u'!, fr.m their earliest tribal tLivs, up t J the time that they be came bjndmen in Egypt, an J nil t'urough that down trodden state he was present to direct them and pre pare them for h national oi'guniz'V lion, that was developed raider the rule of Mose, who w:is an instru ment x th liiinds of God. In his ttitroi'.t'.e'ory he traced the presence or G.d up to tLe time that he choKc Moses ti) lead Israel out of bondage. He sluwed how lauilliariy God mani-fe-u-.i Lis presence to Moses, and how M.wses was moved to ask of God, 'Show me now thy tray." The request bf the leader of Israel was heard, and Go 1 answered : .Vy presence ahull go with thee, and I will give thee rest.'' tv-e Exodus 33d chapter, lltu verse. The answer of God to Moses was the teTvt from which the llevermd -cutieman dwelt on the deliverance of I-rael frota their down-trodden condition, and analyzed his sermon Mo three jrrar.d divisions : 1st God was present in tht Journey of 1st act. '2nd. God tru present to individual members of Israel. 3iL Cod was present, and is present in the rest thai faitk gives. The Pretence if God was manifi si, in the journey of Israel horn Egypt, from tiie time that the hosts of riia moh were destroyed in the lied Sea, forty years till t!ie crossing of the river Jordan was accomplished, and the waib cf Jericho fell djwn, and the land of p-om:se was reached. How w-u(lerf ally God's presence was revealed when M-s stt u -k the rock an I the waters gir.hed forth. How manifest it was when the manna was wilt. How jrrand and awe-inspiring when it revealed itself in the cloud of o pillar of smt,ke by d"y, and in the pil lar of fire by nignt. God's presence is manifest to h:s people to-dity. not perhaps by seemingly miraculous physical changes, or appearances in rite rrth of wator from dry rock, in loud or pillar of fire, but in the com forting assurance cr pe-sc of soul that comes to every one who, Lko Moses, asks, "dhow me now thy way." 2nd. God was pmcnt to individual members cf Israel. See how Le was present with Jus-eph undor the most discouraging niisforiunes. II was present in uivams, und I'.pLciJ J -t-eph in fortitn.le when, during his long wait of two years, he ws for gotten by the King's butler, who knew of how Go 1 was with Joseph. He v-.s present with Mo&es in the tuminq bush, and all through Lis life. He was present with the prophets, sind filled the truise with oil ; and as the Reverend gentleman worked Lis way under the second Lead of the sermon he grew eloquent, and quoted great numljers of sacred historical event;', wherein the pres ence of God was manifest to Israel, in both national and individual afe. Rut G-id's ..resence is not always for -a . . . - , t ne narnu 3 Ol LilOSe l'J UUUl uc appears. See how ho appeared at the feast of the King cf Babylon, and wr te npou the- walL No peace, no comfort, no rest came from such a manifestation of his presence. 3r.L od was present, and is present in the rest that faith gives. "When men j ask believingly, its Moses the leader j of Israel did, "Show me now thy tray," j the presence cf God will be manifest It never failed Joseph ; it never failed Moses ; it never failed the prophets ; ii ne-.ei- failed Israel as a nation. God was manifest to maintain them in everv trial against their enemies ; he fought their battles, and he gave them an assm-ance of a rest beyond the conflict There is ret in faith. The people of to-day Lave not the martyrdom of the stake and the cross to endure to test their faith,' and to cause them to long for the re6t that an end of perrons! bodily persecu tion gave, but they that Lave faith have the presence cf God with them continually; no circumstances can affect them ; they are always remicd fe 1 that what is, is for their good ; no OTtom-il ircustance- of iife cau ie- fetroy the rest that faith gives. Ob ncuritv in life does not disturb them Prominence before men does rot ex-1 alt them in their own minds and hearts, for they knew that if they Lave faith in God's'presence, Lis presence will go with them, and that will give them root Month ago six men, named Chas.

Services at 10 a. 3 and 7J p. m. Many ministers of d-.cerent denominations will be present Ail are very cordially in vited y attend. Hss.r . Eherit, Paslor. Oil Sabbath evening Rev. E. E. Borry, of the Lutheran "Church, presxbvd from the text found in Romans 12th chapter and loth verse i If it be possible, as much as lieth In you, live peaceably with all men." Tui TnsttE of the sermon was LIVE IN CHRISTIAN PEACE. It was Paul that so requested his brethren to live. The text seemed to imply a doubt as to one living peaceably in this world, and yet it could have only one meaning, that we are to live peaceably with all men. Tht Practical a'ulies of life are so varied, and manifold that it is hard to just tell what Paul meant. Of Course it did not mean that we ars not to care whether offence be given, or not given, but the doubt which is implied, in "If it be possible," gives room for offence that nny be given uninteution ally in the discharge of the practical duties of lire. H'e all tare certain dnlits to perform, and in the performance of those duties may give offence. Doubtless Paul, when be said If it be possible," saw how difficult it it to lice peaceably and discharge Christian duty ; but the duty of the Christian does not mean that be hdl be the aggressor. His own acts are nut to be ggresive; his deportment toward his fellow-men should be kind, and bis language should be guard ed, o that no ci ttit.g or reproachful words are used for the purpose of giving offence. To iirs ia Christian Peace, INVOLVES The faithful presentation of truth, and sometimes the faithful presenta tion of truth gives ofl'euce. It is tlio duty of the Christian lo present the truth, and he should present it with the possibility of giving offence, for the truth of the Chris tian is Posititt in ilt character. There is noth ing of the negative in truth. Knowing the iiositiveness of truth, it is highly probably that the apostle Paul meant that they j should be particular to strive, and present it in the manner that would be the leat likely to effetid. A blow on the cheek may produce a stringing, smarting pain, but the j physical irjury or smsrt, is not to be com paied lo the ache in the heart that often is caused by unkind words. To live in CHRISTIAN PEACE j INVOLVES the duty of the preventing of the Impost on the nght$ of others. It is the duty of every one to respect the rights and feelings of others, and not trespass on the rijliU of others, yet how often is it done. One person sees auothcr put up a piece of paptr on auother's boue, or busi ness place ; he intimates that it is a notice of sherifl's sale ; the next individual en laiges on it, and j-erbaps the next makes the positive assert;on that the effects of Mr. So and So has passed into the custody of the sheriff, and thus the business char acter ol the man is greatly iijured, if not ruined, and that is trespass. Men and wo men may by insinuation trespass on the rights ol others, and make a leactaule life almost in.jwssib'.e. A man in society may be haughty to others, and thus trespass on the rights of others, and disturb the peace of mind of those against whoiue he offend ed. A man of influence, of wealth, and honor may look down on the common herd, and thus trespass up.in and disturb the peace of mind of many. To live iu CHRISTIAN PEACE Svmrtimes requires that we give np pecu liar notions. We may have peculiar notions of things, and ttiey be wrong, and in maintaining them disturb the peace ol many. We may bo under the control of a qv.ick passion, that lesds us off of the way of the Christian Peace. There are weaknesses that are hard to overcome, but a hich t.hould b;r o erconie, for they make a peac-a!le life hard to tead. At this point in the sermon the Reverend gentlemen aked to be pardoned for making lu.ntion of a member in his former hsrge, in Northumberland, who never took of fense at what was said or done to him. He had the pious art of turning good-naturedly from everthing offensive that was leveled The nious art that he em ployed should be cultivated He lived i . v.i.- ..utiKr f.ff'ermtve tresrjass.

THP EXTENT OF DL'TV is to carry Cftriilian Pface into the FixtLT. How ,nny men are there who will lay their baud kindly on the head of the boy that thev may chance to meet on the street, and when at home treat his own children most un kindly, play the tyrant over them. What is needed is peace a" home. THE EXTENT OK DUTV is to carry Christian Peace into the Chcbch. Here we want charity, patience, kindness, humility. What is needed is peace in the church.

Judge William Parry, in an addres before the Solebury Farmers' Club, Bucks county, P , last winter, says : Tbe cost of feocing our land is a heavy tax upon our energy, and should be greatly reduced. We are too apt to follow iu the foc'sipps of our prede cessors, without considering the changes that have taken place since their time. When our country was new, in a state oi nature, vie'ding an abundance of rich pasture, but little land being tilled, it was necessary to fence arouud the cultivated crops to jralect the in from herds of cattle roatuiug at large in search of their daily food Hut maik the change in our time ; the Isnd has II been surveyed and purchased by in dividuals, the State reserving the right of public travel, but not tbe right of putlie pasture. The present system of fencing against road cattle is an unne cessary expense, and the space occu pied by fences and headlands, a waste of od soil, which should yield largs crops. The cmtom which still pre vails among farmers in some sections, of permitting their cattle to roam at large upon tbe highways, is wrong in principle, and unjust for those who do not suffer their stock to run loose, to be required to fence against cattle. Every person should be re quired to keep Lis stock upon bis own premises. All persons who own cattle should keep the.u inclosed. The prac tical operation of preventing animals from running at large, in souu parts oi our country, bat been salutary and fa vorable, saving large expenditures for fences, many of wbicu have been re moved from tbe roadside, thus adding about eight per cent, to tbe amount of cultivated lands. Fruit and ornamen tal trees hive been planted along tbe public highways, which contribute to he comfort aud pleasure of travelers, as well as to tho beauty end value of the farms. Fences, being one of tbe heaviest expenses on tbe farm, should not be required when only needed to keep cattle on the publio highways. Tbe practice of letting cattle ran at large on the highways is a nuisance, which should be abated by all proper remedies." Tbe running of cattle at large on the pubhe highways ia a nuisance which ought to be abolished, and this should be done without respect to any merit there might be in the fence question. There are many other initlers involved in tbe question of line fences and road feoccs, with which highway eaitie, or even cattle of any class, having to do. Iboqcois Taisa, No. 42, I. O. of R.

On Friday evening a week, the store of C. K. Breneiuan, in Newport, Perry county, was broken into, and "fljur, groceries, pea nuts, oranges, lemons, ic., were taken.

Mrs. Snieigh's two daughters buxom lasses of some twenty to twenty-five summers were ar rested and committed to jail, with a young man named Bill SUalto, who, it is believed, did the stealing.

The speech of Congressman Blackburn is on the subject of a -Free Ballot." Their views about a tree ballot sie somewhat pe culiar when put into practice. The free dom is all to be on one side, and consists in bulldozing people to vote for their can didates, and then altr the ballots have been cast they are so free with them that no one but tbemsilres know what has became of them.

There were plenty of meet ings, ami resolutions, and going and com ing, and sublime lying, but no real help to build the road.

"Time," 'tis said, '-makes all things even," j And iu fifteen peaceful years, Lo I onr Capital is t:ken" By the rebel Brigadiers. Waa't for this we scaled the ramparts Surging with the smoke of hell 1 Was't tor this we marched and labored ? Wa-i't lor this our heroes fell I Was't for this they starved in prisons 'Decked ten thousand crimson biers That the nation now may honor Nineteen rebel Brigadiers 1 Down within the damp morasses Fought we lopjf and fought wis well. While the boomiug of the cannon Rang tbe soldier hero's knell ; Ilieh upon tbe heights we rallied Rent the heavens ttltb our cheers. That the 46ou:h" might send lo Congress Nineteen rebel Brigadiers. Twas for this we tramped on picket Through the niht and through the rain ; 'Twas for this ihe country labored. Heart, aud hand, and throbbing brain ; 'Twas tor this that tiieuds were parted Wives and sweethearts from their dears That to-day oar great (.') Ian -makers Might be rebel brigadiers. Though we wou the hard -fought battles. Should wa gained the laurel crown Siill the "blue" is "way nlT color," And our Hig hangs "mu ni dow n ; It's the "gray" that now is honored, And this hard tact bums and sears That the sum of all onr vic'tries Are these nineteen Brigadiers. And the ghost of treason once more Stalks across the saddened land, While til- life-bloo i of our bmihers Drips from either bony haud ; And the Oodde of our Freedom Shad-'S her eyes to hide her trs.
