Through Death to Life.
" It is sown in dishonor ; it is raised in glory."-
1. Con. ay : 48.
The star is not extinguished when it sets
Upon the dull horizon ; but it goes
To shine in , other skies, thin rs.apirear
In ours, as fresh as when it first arose.
The river is not lost, when o'er the rook
It pours its flood into the abyss below :
Its scattered force re-gathering from the shock,
It hastens onward, with yet fuller flow.
The. bright sun dies not, when the shadowing orb
Of the eclipsing moon obscures its ray :-
It still is shining on; and soon to us
Will burst undimm'd into the joy of day:
The My dieemot, when both flower and leaf
Xade, and are etrewid. upon the chill, sad
Gone down for shelter to its mother earth,
rise, ,rcr.bloom, and shed its'fragrance
round.
The deer drop dies not, when it leaves the flower,
:And pasies upward on the beam of morn;
It does,but hide itself in light on high,
To its loved . flower at twilight to return.
Tie fine gold has not perished, when the'flame
Seizeslipon it with consuming glow:
freshen'd splendor it comes forth anew,
To siisrklei on the monarch's throne or brow.
Thus nothing dies, or only dies to live :
Star, stream, sun, ,flower, the dew drop, ,and,
the gold ; -
Each goodly thing, instinct with buoyant hope,
'llastes to put on its purer, finer mould:
So in the quiet joy of kindly trust,
We bid each parting saint a brief farewell
Weeping, yet smiling, we commit their dust
.To the s'afekeeping of the silent.cell. •
Softly within that peaceful resting place
We place their wearied limbs ; and bid the clay
Press lightly on them, till the night he past,
A4d the,far East glvenote.pf,coming day.
The day•of re-appearing! howit speeds!
He who is true and faithful speaks the word ;
Theh shall we ever, be with those we love-:
Mien shall we be for ever with the Lord.
The shout is heard; the archangel's voice goes
The trumpet sounds;; the dead awake and sing;
The livisg put on glory one glad band,
They hasten np 'to Meet theirnoming King.
Short death and darkness ! Endless life and
light ! • ;
Short dimming—endless shining, in yon sphere,
Whore all is unoorruptible and pure—

the tear, _ _

Bible - Nirratives—No. 17,
- Lormy.yrry.—GEN. v: 3, 32; xi :.10, 32.
'The average length of the eleven genera.
tions ;before the flood is one' hundred
and fifty years;, and that of the fourteen
Which follow up .to the birth of Moses,,is
fifty-five years. The average age of the
antediluvian patriarchs is eight hundred and
fifty-seven years; or, leaving Enoch, who
did not attain to frill age, out of the num
ber, nine hundred and twelve years. The
postdiluvian patriarchs, up to Abraham,
taking Shem into the count, attained to the
average age of three hundred and twenty
nine years; those that follow up to. Moses,
to one hundred and fifty-three years ; ;..or the,
whole average up to Moses is two hundred
and fifty-nine years.
' The reasons for the longevity of,the ante
diluvians, josephus tells us, were four.
" - They were beloved of God;" "They
were lately made, by him." "They had
better food:" "They were allowed to Jive
long," tit:at they might feretelf the period,
of the stars, which was six hundred years.
The first :reason, if longevity extended gen
erally to the race, as we are naturally led to
believe from Bible history considered as a
faithful epitome, is without foundation.
The second reason is contradicted by the
fact, that the age of Noah, the last iu the
het, is greater by twenty years than that of
Adam; also, since the last four, leaving
Enoch out of count, attained an average age
just,equal to the first four; andyet Lamech
mamas to have been removed prematurely,
to save him from the calamity connected
With the fined. The third reason has but a
small support, since `Noah's life extended
three hundred and fifty years this side of
the flood, when the food is supposed:to have
been changed for the worse. The last
reason is shown to be wholly fanciful, by the
discoveries of modern astronomy.' This is
only cspecimen, showing us how little de
pendenCe teey be placed' in the spechlations,
and we might even add, in the statements ,
e t - alleged facts, of profane historians, who '
write conoerning those early times.
:The probahle reasons why long life, Was
given to the • ancients, are two. , First, that
the world might be sooner peopled from a
single pair, and afterwards' by three pairs;
as from the family of, Noaha Secondly, that
a,traditionary account of the arts, and of
events of importance to man, might be the
More easily %handed down till the age of
authentic history. The instrumentality em-,
ployed to lengthen out life, or perhaps to
shorten it, is to be sought in that providence
by which a holy and sovereign God governs
a race of rebels. • '
In reading the firat chapters of the Bible,
we do not often take time to reflect how re
markable a scene might be witnessed around
the death-bed of ancient patriarchs. When
Adam paid 'the debt of sin, and when his
was struggling to get away from the
body which had weathered the storms of
nine hundred and thirty years, not only
might hie children and his grand-children
come tolook mournfully upon the list-death
straggle 'in so noble a form, fashioned by the
hand of Jehovah, but Lamech, the father
of vl,Yoßb, Might be ftherei - at Che had-'now
reached the age of fifty-six years. Fifty=
seven years after the death of Adam, while
Seth was yet alive, Enoch was translated.
Eight living generations might witness,
tri,ight 'talk of, and might profit by this first
wonderful proof of immortality, and of the
restirrection, of the body. Enos, the grand
son of Adam, lived eighty-five years after
Noah Was born. When' Noah was horn,
Adam, and Seth, and Enoch, alone of the
patriarchs, ;were no more. • Methuselah died
the year of the flood,. and Lamech five years
before this event: Therefore, Noah might
heir, 'from six different patriaxchs, of suc
cessive generations,' what Adam . had told
them'of creation, of Eden, and of the fall
of t the race , from piiintivakintioeeney;; apt
Shorn might hear of these events from' two
of the ail,' - •
When,` Noah lay upon a 'dying:cotfeh,'
Torah ,. and kis two , eldest sons might*/be
present, and all the fathers of the nine gen
erations might be there, except Peleg, who
was dead ten years, andTerah's father, who
had died 'a year later. Abraham was born
two years after the death of the second
father, of the race.. How 'wonderful the
changes of the postililuvian world, when
Shen is gathered to his people Chedor
laomer, and the kings with him, have many
year's since, fled to the North of Damascus,
before the household troops of Abraham.
Half a century has passed since the destruc
thin of the cities of the Plain ; Babylon,
and Assyria, and Egypt have all risen to be
great empires; and Isaac and Rebekah have
been married ten years.
There is one remarkable'early patriarch
still alive. Eber, from, whom '"the descend
ants of Abraham perhaps teok the name
Hebrew, outlives the father of the faithful
, four years. A little before the battle of the,
kings; •whet the name • Hebrew was first
given to Abraham, the 'aged Eber, having
heard of the wonders God had wrought for
his descendant, maypossibly haVe come to
Canaan. If so, his great age, and the prom
lace of God, might incline him to remain.
Thns, in the family of Isaac, when. Jacob
and Esau were twenty years of age, would'
be seen the weeds of mourning, because the.:
last one of all the fathera had died. Thus,
Jacob might hear from Eber, what Noah
and Shem had often :told him of the events
ct man prlimeval,"? and "man destroyed.
Of, the • former, they ,_had heard through.
those who had conversed with the first
father 'of the race; the wail of the: latter
they.hadiheard, .vidieri the last hope was'fled,
and when the`ark floated 'away 'from its.dry
mooring IE9 the deep waters.
Jacob `lives A 6 Kohath, the `grand'
father of Rasps, what he had learned of the
world's early ages and from him the son of'
1 Pharoah's daughter might learn the story
,of
the race, and have early waked upthe talent
fer,history which G r od bad given him Or
perhaps Moses, during his:forty years exile
in Midian t may have niefjob, the patriarch,
of Us. He was a contemporary of Eliphaz,
the son of Esau, who, it seems, by compar
ing Gen. xxxvi : 11, with jer. 7, was,
called a Temariite, as all the descendants of
Jacob' were afterwards called Jews, from
Judah. This agrees with the.pephlar tradi
tion, that Moses wasthe author of the Book
of Job. If he wrote it in Midian, we may
allow twenty years;; of 'his sojourn to pass
before the death of Job. Run back one
hundred and twenty years/And we come to
the time of the affliction; which would be
fifty years after "the death of Jacob. This
would give time 'for Eliphaz, the first born
soli of Esau, (Gen. xxviii : ; xxxvi : 4,)
to come to mature age.—Job xxxii : 6.
Job had then lived long enough to have his
children settled in houses of their oin,
(Job i: 4,) which would require him to be
not •much less than one hundred years old.
Thus he might be a contemporary of Jacob
for half a century. Moses might, there
fore, by a single step of tradition, learn all.
Which Jacob knew of early ages; and he
might not only, by writing such wonderful
poetry as is found irt'Job, (and poetry is said
to be older than prose,) be fitting himielf
for his task as , a penman of lair and history;
but he might be collecting the materials for
his great work of Genesis, which justly en
titles him to be called the Father of Ancient
History.
Moses might thus, in more than one
channel, by a very few steps, receive tradi
tionary annals of the earliest generations of
men. But whilst' Moses might in thia'ivay
be as well asquainted„with antediluvianhis
teiy, as Manetho, arid terosus, and Tluicy-'
:dides' , with 'the annals Of 'their respective'
nations, as far back as the. age` of Solomon
and whilst these verbal`communications
would be 'both interesting and important in
the arts, and in the civil and social affairs
of lifO; yet they would be too uncertain to'
constitute:- Bible history. Therefore We .
suppose the author of Genesis if 'he had
not all the great'events revealed directly by
Jehovah, as was the leading• precepts of the
law, yet was so inspired, that his record was
saved from error--4t leait,,from such error
as would affect .its authenticity, and mar
the object for Which it is left as,a legacy' to
the human race. G. Wr S.

' "You. must drive your own 'Cart ' my'
child. I would drive it for you if
. 1. eould,'
but that' cannot be. Be patient, , be ,brave,
be persevering, and you will get out on 'the
other side of , the•shadows, before lOng."
So said the best friend Orphan Harr; 6.. d
ever known; to 'ham;` when:he came ilodikiL
couraged one day, after haVing for, , the'
twentieth time sought' employment in vain.
Uncle Lewis, as Harry called the kind
man,'whose house was all the home he ever
knew, was very poor,' and, now be was also
ill, so that it became absolutely necessary for
Harry to'leave.school and seek for work by
Which' he could • do, at least, something
toward earning their daily 'bread.
His heart fainted within his bosom, este
met with 'repulse after repulse, Troia the tall;
and the rich, and busy gentlemen,td whom
he 'applied for a place. • • •
"Do you want to hire a boy, sir ?" had
been the 1)60 child'a,-rOft4epeated iineetion.
Fainter and fainter, ,was it spoken, as spark
by spark, his' courage died away, and, at
last, he tried to utter it, in vain, for the
words - stuck, like large: lumps, in - his throat,
and he turned with a heavy heart home*ard,
and went and eat down by the bedside of
dear, uncle liewis, and cried. ,
" Oh, how I wish some one would' try to
find a illaee for me" ~sighed the poor boy.
"-I shall, never, never , dare to, ask any one;to
hire me again. Oh, , dear, dear, what a
dreadful' thing , it is. to' be poor; I wish,
somebody would help us, Uncle Lewis."
Uncle Lewis Was troubled for the child;
he placed his pale hand on Harry's clut3ter
.
ing curls, and said:
",You are_in a world , where all, that is
good must be struggled for, with a great
straggle. You must drive your, own cart,'
my. Child; I'would_ doit for yea; but I,Cark,
not.' Be- brave, be patient, be persevering,
and you',4ill'get out on the other side of the
shadowS, before long." .•
Harry loved his uncle dearly; more than
he knew . how to 64iess, and the terrible
fear of losing him made him seem dearer
thin ever now; so, hard , though it was to
choke back the tears, he did it, and fondly
kissing the hand that caressed him, he said
with an effort
" I will'be a brave boY, Uncle ; you shall
see that I mind your advice ; I will try again
to-morrow, and will keep trying, until I do
get out of the shadows. If you will only
make haste and get well, and if I . can al ;
ways live where I can:see you,, and . heir
your voice every day, I won't complain, what
ever may be 'my hardships."
9 Dear , said. Uncle ,Lewis r with a
trembling voice. He could say, no more,
though his heart was overflowing with yearn r
indlny,e / t4ld,,..,sympltthy 'for the affectionate
and devoted child. Gladly would he have

folded the gentle boy, to his heart, and shel
tered hint there from all rude contact with
the harsh and jostling world; but be knew
that this could not be, and he knew also,
that so it were not well with the child.'
Harry, must take the great, and wide world
by the hand, as all had done who had
wrestled with it before him; he must learn
to labor and to wait.'
After making ready and eating their sim
ple evening meal, Harry sat again by the
side of his Uncle, and read from the Word
of God. He opened accidentally, providen
tially, rather, to this passage, " Trust in the
Lord, and do good, and thou shalt dwell in
the land, and verily thou shalt be fed."
"That blessed book," cried Uncle Lewis;
"never was there a troubled heart which it
could not comfort."
And when Harry had finished reading, the,
sick man 'folded his hands and offered a
heartfelt and thankful prayer. They then
resigned themselveslo rest:
" Please, air, don't you - want; ; to hire a
boy ?" said our young, hero, next, morning, to.
a linelydressed.dandY of a storekeeper.
"If I,Tdid; I'wouldn't have you, you piti
ful, whining, Milk and water faced scamp;
Off with you, quick; clear." And 'the man
stepped, toward 'Harry, as it for some often- .
sive act. Harry hurried off.
'woh, dear;'' said - he. to • himself,
.as,. he ' ,
walked on, " ern afraid the Lord didn't
mean any of those good promises for me. I
am afraid I shall never get a place, and I
am hungry, and, cold r and, tired ; and what
Shall I do?". The hand of despair was
tugging hard at those young heartstrings.
" WhY, whaei ' thia ? " said Harry sud
denly. A nice r portmonnaie laid at his feet.
He piekedit up;, it bore the :name of the
very'storekeeper .who had just abused the
orphan' child. Resisting the temptation to
avenge' himself, and 'Supply hiS ' Wants, by
keeping the well filled portmon,naie, Harry
hurried back to,the store, and gave it into
its - owner's hands. The;rain had the grace
to blush as he took it front the, honest and
forgiVing beY, and he' 'opened Wand handed,
Harry `9. two - dollar bill: The portmonnaie
contained tWit kindred dollars. But this
wai - not . the end'of that , adventure. An el
derly gsntleman, who,, over the tops of his
spectacles, had observed the whole affair,
arose, as Harry, ,with his well-earned treas
ure tightly laidin hisliitle'hand, left,the
store, and 'followed him' into the street.
"Come with me,. MY lad," said he, kindly,
"1 liplow,„of, a place , where, they want . an
honest boy. "
,
The two walked 'on. Hairy" answered in
a satisfaetdry manner, all the' questions put
to him by the old gentleman, and .by his
son, to whose large wholesale store he con
ducted him; and when Harry,. at noon,
sought,his dear Uncle, it was, torten him, as
well as he' could speak for joyful excitement,
that he had got " two whole dollars," and
was "engaged to do 'errands for the firm of
Appleton & Co., at two dollars a
week.", . , •
44 Commit thy way, unto the Lord; trust
also in hire, and he shall bring it to pass,"
said Uncle 'Lewis, embracing Harry ;with
warmth. "Better days have dawned, my
boy; let us thank God and take courage.

JIIST IS WOE D—JACIOBUSI3 NOTES ON
Tali GOst'Bii BY JOHN.—This Is thethird voluhie
of a series owthe Evangelists. The folltiwing ire a part of
the many testimonies borne In favor of the former portions
of the work:
" These volumes displayvery eminent degree
the excellences which should appear iu condeueed
commentary on any portion of the Word of God. They
embrace the marrow of ail the best writers .and Com
mentators on the Gospels. The labor which they must
hpve cost is immense, and could only have been devoted by
One whose heart was in the. work. The Harmony of the
tipspels, which is interwoven:ln thO Notes, and the wonder
ful condensetkm cf facts and expositions, render both - vol.
'amen extremely valuable."—Presb.Baniter.
" For . valuabie •condensation, and accuracy and sleety of
interpretation iwe think it Superior to' Barnes, and would
advise its use n ourßible Clasks."--Chrittian Tatelligencar.
"Admirably adapted to the Sabbath School, Bible Class,
and randly,.wlth this advantage of preceding works, that it
has appropriated the results of the llama inquiries on 'fart
ous subjects connected with Biblical Literature."-:-Perititis
Reeorder.
"The author, by his learning, taste. and skill, is eminent
ly qualified for the responsible' work of an annotator on
the Holy Scriptures. • In hie Notes, he combines. the mar
row and fatness of many commentators with his own ideas,
and associates his Comments with a Harmony of the Gospels,
to a' very
: impressive manner."—Zion's Herald. •
'"The Notes are evidently 'prepared with great care , and
rally illustrate o the text to the comprehension, we had almost
'said,of the least attentive reader., We regardtheee volumes
as in important auxillary.tci the study of the Gospels, and
a valuable addition to our Biblical Literature designed for
tbe. masses."—dibany Argus.. . • , •
' from. Jima Hamilton, D. D., London.—" . l am especially
delighted to find that yon persevere with your Commentary
on the New Testament; and from Its admirable execution,'
I tun not surprised, although very happy to learn, that the
former volumes have gone through so many editions."
From. L: Rice, .IS. D., St. Louie, Mo.—ln • my opinion,
you are doing for the Church and the cause of troth, a vevy
valuable service,,in the preparation and publication of your
Commentaries on the New 'Testament. They fill a place
which it is most important to have filled. They 'are read by
the members of Bible Classes, and by teachers, and by pu
pils in" Sabbath Schools, because in them they find, in a few
words, the exposition, and information they are .seeking;
and for the same reason they will find a general circuits-

/O,,TUTTERING.AND STAMMERING"
CURED, Without Pain or Surgical Operation. .
The readers of the Banner "and .Athscceife will :recollect I
published a notice last Winter, headed "The Last tell' to
.Stuttering and Stammering Persons," in which Itunicnanced •
WWI the only chance they mould ever have of getting cured,
and all who desired the cure should 'eithei send' for it by
mill or call themeelves before the 16th ofbiareh, ae on that
day Iliad made arrangements to resign my professions and
retire from the practice. Since the 10th, I have personally,.
: consulted forty, and sent the cure by mail to sixty indi
viduals. lit every instance perfect satisfaction has bein
rendered. In all who ere so unfortunate as ter
stutter or stammer yet. I have thought _proper to give
another " opFortunity of being cured, and therefore would,:
respectfully request them to send me' $2O, (which Is leis'
than my,usual fee;) and I will immediately send them nir
cure- 437 se doing they save the expense of.traveling.!„l i
am a responsible man, and if My cure is not effectual.' will
agree to refund the money. Recollect. this cure never' faille:'
Address Dr. WYCKOFF, Box 746, Pittsburgh Poet Office.
There has been a - floating*population of impoiders travel
ing the country, professingto cure impediments of speech
by my system, and many have bad the audacity to advertise
in my name,
and . give the names of men Ibr reference whom
they never knew or saw. "When pereone who stammer
called, those men would represent me, and in several in
stances produce a certificate purporting to be mine, vesting
in them full power and authority to practice as my Agents. .
I have frequently warned the Public of these men, as they
are not in fall -possession of my system, and cannot 'cure.
Through, untiring perseverance. I arrested two of them,-
and others will sooner or
„later share the same fate. This
cure for Stuttering or Stammering is one of. my own
discovery, for:which I have's copyright, secured by lair,:
and have successfully practised the same for the term ot
nine years.
My rethrences are of the highest order, each as the Medi
cal Faculty of New York, Philadelphia, and the University
of Virginia, all the *Tints 'of Pittsburgh, Washington,
Greensburg, and Uniontown, Pa., besides arty thousand
pereons in different parts of the country.
This care for Stuttering and Stammering Is performed in
less than one himr. There is no pain or surgicial operation
attending it.
The twenty of a ll this Is, It will cure children of five, and
adulta at the age of one hundred years. A 'perinin who is
cured by It, can never again stutter, even If they try. I of
fer to forfeit $lO,OOO ijany person can ever afterwards Stut
ter, by application of ours.
It was formerly customary .to announce, that no pay
would be required unless: a perfect cure was performed.
That was done to show the people there would be no risk in
giving me a trial. .Bet now, inasmuch
,as the leading citi
zens of Pittsburgh, know mire never fails, it would be
superfiuous to make another such announcement.
