The Believer in Heaven to a Friend on
Earth.
I shine in the light of God,
His likeness stamps my brow;
Through the valley of death my feet hare trod,
And I relgn•in glory now;
No breaking heart is here;
No keen and thrilling pain;
No wasted cheek, where the frequent tear ,
Rath rolled, and left its stain.
I have found the joy of heaven;
I am one of the angel band;
To,mylead a crown is given,
, And a harp is in my band.
I have learned the song they sing
Whom Jeans bath made free ;
And the glorious walls on high still ring
iitizminew•born melody.
Ito sin, ne grief, no pain;
Safe ittiny'happy home ;
My fears all fled—my doubts all elitiu;
My hour of triumph come.
Friendof my, mortal years:!
.
The trusted and the tried !
Thou art waiting sink in the valley of tears,
But I am by thy side.
Do I forget.t Oh, no
For Memory's golden chain
Shall bind my heart to the heart below,
Till they meet andr4uch again.
lash link is strong and bright,
And loves electric flame
Flows freely down, like a river of light,
To the world from which I Came.
Do you mourn when another star
Shines out from the glittering sky ?
Do yon weep when , the noise of war
And the rage of Conflict die ?
Then why should your tears roll down,
And your heart with grief be riven,
For another gam,in the Saviour's crown,
And ti eaao[lier : semi in heaven ?

• The , Laws of Moses.
' It has long been the common faith of the
Christian Church, that in the writings of
3464; tliriie Ailtinat &ides Of
termingted=the moral, the ceremonial, and
the judicial. If this belief is well`founded,
it must bp highly important for US to know
by what criteria we are to determine in re
laden to any given precept, to which code
it belongs.' We ought, moreover, to inquire
diligently. into the design of each code, the
prgppee, rhieh l it was intended to answer,
and the •use which we ought to , make of
each. Forlit la not to be doubted, that all
these' laws, though many of them have been
'ahifigated, Nieri recorded in the " lively ora
cles, " tor our aduionition, upon whcim the
ends of the world are come.- We are to
make use of all these laws, but not the mile
nib Of Hence tbi'importince of distin-,
guishing - correctly the different , codes or
kinds of law. revealed by Mases, , and the
purpose which each was intende'd' to answer.
And may I not add, that this subject pos
sesses reetiliar interest to Presbyterians, at
this moment, inasmuch as we are likely to
be called upon soon to deeide, whether a
part of Section 4, Chapter xxiv. of our Con
fession of Faith shall be expunged. This
question Wrap, on 'the interpretition of the
lime of Moses, and , cannot be intelligently ,
decided Nithnut the careful 'study of those
laws.
Let us inquire in the first place„ , whether
tier is any stabient foundathin fOr the
distinction above indicated—are some of the
laws in question moral, , Whilst others are
ceremonial; and others again judicial ?' By
way of proving the :affirmative of, this gips
tin, we might notic e the greit diversi'y
and disparity of the Subject-matter of those
laws: Let the reader. compare Lev. xis
18 ) "Thou shalt We thy neighbor as thy.
self," with Num. six :11,," He that touch
eth the dead body of any unin, shall be un
clean seven daps, " and he will find it diffi
cult to believe tat these laws belong to the
same code, or are intended to answer like
purposes. ,We might also notice, as
_an evi
dence that some of thoselaws were intended
to answer a temporary 'purpose, and then
(tease to be obligatory, and others to be per
manent and unchangable the awful solemni
ty with which some of them were delivered
by an audible voice from heaven, and then
inscribed on tablets of stone, by the finger
of God himself. Was not all this intended
to indicate the incomparable excellence and
importance, and the perpetual obligation of
that code'Which is summarily exhibited in
the Decalogue?
But, Waiving arguments of this kind, let
us look at the relation in which the Israel
ites stood Ito God, and we shall see that they
needed three kinds or• codes of laws. In .
Ithirfirst place, as. rational, human , creatures,
they were under , the law of nature .which
had been so much obscured by the fall, that
they needed a clear revelation of it; and
this is just what ..was given them in.
moral law.. Again, they constituted for the
time being, the visible Church, and as such
they needed,a law ,to direct them how to ap
proach God, and in what manner to worship
him; and this want was supplied in their
ceremonial,. or eoclesiastical law. Finally
they constituted a nation, a commonwealth ,
and as such, needed a civil polity, a code of
lais to regulate'ind secure their civil rights,
restrain and puniiih crime, and protect them
from the. evils of anarchy; and for this
purpose their judicial law was given them.
That there are amongst the laws revealed
and reiorded by the ministry of Moses, pm
ceptit adapted to each of these purposes, is
too plain'to require proof. It is too obvi
ous to escape ''the' notice even of the :most
cursory reader, that some of those laws are
addressed,to the Jews am ?nen, and. have no
reference to the . peculiarities of the state
and ;relations in "which they *ere - placed;
whilst others :of .them lave a plain and dis
tinct reference to them as standing in a pe
culiar relation to God. And, it is . equally
obviOns, that of . these last, some have re
spect to their ecclesiastical, and others to
their civil or political relation& Let us
take' a somewhat more extended view of the
nature' and design -of each of these codes.
And we .begin with the 'mbral.
That mangy as a rational *creature, is under
:4litw to God, all who admit the existence of a
Moral (19Tenttir agree. And Christians
agree, that this law, whiph_ is, commonly
called the law Of nature, was written on
man's heart in his creation; so that in a
state of innocence he needed no outward
revelation of it. They agree, moreover,
thatAke, writing of the,law on .the heart was
`BO far, effaced by ;the fall, as to render a
revelatien of it necessary to our knowledge
of our whole duty. Paul, speaking ot the
heathen, saps`: '" These having not the lei,
are a laW. Unto themselvis, which she*, the
Work' of the 9aw',writteu in their 'hearts,
their consciences Also 'bearing, witness, and
their thoughts the meanwhile accusing pr
else4xcusing - one, another." Whilst he
maintaiiis•that -some traces of the law re
maiti in the hiart, so to render them in
exensable,, 'and justly punishable, he , does
mot Say 'that a revelation, is unnecessary, but
elsenthere,distinetly affirms its necessity.
Now, no one who carefully reads the laws
of 3.5..p5e5, ean doubt that some of
,tO.O many
precepts which he delivered, are nothing
elselhan a revelitien'of the,law• of nature;
that law,-which, was originallywritten in the
heart. Beible the Deealogne, there are
many other freeepts which seem to be in
.tended as explanations , or expansions of parts
of the becalogue, and which iriculeate'du-
ties that are incumbent on man as man,
having their forindation in the nature of
God, and man's relation to.him as an intel
ligent moral agent. Now this is the very
thing chat is intended, by the moral law; it
is a revelation of the law of nature. Those
parts, then, of the of Moses which. re
veal, of. reiterate, the law Of nature, are
properly, called moral precepts, or moral
laws. And if so, they are obligatory, not
on the Jews only, but all to whom they
eorim. It is very true drat the heathen, as
long as they are ignorant. of 'the revealed
law, are not under obligations to , obey it.
Their, relation to God, under the law, of na
ture,i is precisely the same that it would
. Italie been, if no revelation of the law had
ever been“given. But as soon and as far as
any of the Gentile world have become ac
quainted` with the moral, e., the .revealed
law of nature, it was binding . upon them,
they were under obligation to make it the
rule of their life.
Some seem to think that Christians are
not toi look for a rule of life to the moral
law, as it is found in• the Old Testament:
Our rule of duty, they.think, is to be found
in the New Testament alone. Bat was not
Christ" with the Church in the wilderness ?" -
Did not Moses speak by his authority and
his direotion ? Or are we to suppose that
he revealed the moral law by Moses. merely
for the instruction of the Old Testament
Church, and then when he hunself appeared
in thelikeness of human flesh, recalled all
that lie had enjoined by Moses, to repeat it
in a slightly different form ?. Are Are to
suppose, in other words, that in the New
Testament the-same moral law Which had
been in force under the Old Testament is
re-enacted, having either expired by its own
limitation, or,'Peen repealed ?
Let it be , granted that, on some points,
the moral law is more fully developed and
expanded in the New Testament than in the
Old. But must it not he admitted, on the
other hand,that. ',tin New TeitaMent con
tains no 'such comprehensive classification
of the duties et the law of nature-:--no Com-
peed of it'ex - preesed'in,few words, and easily
*remembered,- such as is found in the Dees
logne? And is it' not plainly the object of
our Lord and his Apostles in' that they,
; say` about the &ides of men as inen;to ex
plain a law already revealed, and to`; refute
'false glosses and interpretations of that law,-
and pot' o reveal a newlair ? It,mity'he
leged t hat even in that part of the ^law of
Mesis which hes commonly been regarded
as mend, 'there are something; allusions to .
the •peculiar circumstances 'of the-Israelites,
as in the''promise annexed to the' fifth com
mandment. But may not the same thing be
affirmed of initch,of the instruction contained
in the New Testament ? How many of, the
exhortations in , the Epistles to the Corinthi
ans, were called. forth by the then existing
'state of , things in that Church," and contain
allusiens to the circumstances of that peo
ple ? But the instruction which those
Epistles convey to us, and our obligations to
receive and act upon that instruction, is none
theless In that account. Besides, the Apes-
Ale JUNI. speaking of tlie lair by 'Which
Chriatiagrare bound, ciuctcs es part cf that
law, the sixth and seventh preeepts of the
Deoalogue. And the Apostle Paul in writ
ing to . the Ephesians, who were Gentiles,
quotes the filth precept, as obligatory on
them, calls it the, first commandment with
proniise, 'and modifies the phreiseology of
that promise eo as to show, that in its spirit,
it belongs to Gentiles no less than Jews--:
"that ,it may be well with thee, and that
thou mayest live long upon the earth." .

Into the Sunshine
"I 'wish , father would come home."
The voice that said this had a troubled
tone, and the face that looked up was sad.
"Your,father will be very angry, said an
aunt, who was sitting in the room with a
book in her hand. The boy raised himself
from, the sofa, where he had been lying in
tears for half an hour, and with a touch of
indignation in his voice, answered:
"He 'll be sorry, not angry. Father never
gets angry."
For a few moments the aunt looked at
the boy half curiously, and let her eyes fall
again upon the book that was in her hand.
The boy laid himself down upon the sofa
again, and hid his face from sight.
"That's father now . N He started up,
after the lapse of nearly ten minutes, as the
sound of a bell reached his ears, and.went
to the room door. -He stood there for - a little
while and then came slowly back, saying
with a disappointed air
"It isn't father. 'I wonder what keeps
him so late. 0, I wish he would come l"
"You seem anxious to get deeper into
trouble," remarked the aunt, who had only
been in the house for a week, and who was
neither very amiable nor very sympathizing
toward children. The boy's fault had pro•
yoked her, and she considered him a fit sub
ject for punishment •
." I believe,, aunt Phehe, that you 'd like,
to see me whipped, said the boy warmly.
• ,
"Bat you wont!
"I Must confess," replied' aunt Phehe,
" that I think a little wholesome discipline of
the kind you speak of, would not be out., of
place. If you were my child,.l am ,very.
Bute you would n'• t- escape."
"1 am not your child : I don't, want to
be. Father's good, and loves me."
' " If your father is so good, and loves you,
so viell r you must be a very ungrateful or a
very inponsiderate boy. His goodness don't
seem to have helped you_much."
"Hush, will you!" ejaculated the boy,
excited, to 'anger by this unkindness of
speech.
"Phebe !" It was the boy's mother : who
spoke now, for the first tithe. In an under
tone, she added "You.are wrong. Richard
,
is suffering quite enough, and you are - doing
him harm rather than good."
4gain the bell rang, and again the boy
left the - sofa, and went to the sitting roctm.
door.
4 f It's father!" And he went gliding
down stairs.
‘‘ Ah 7 Richard-r was the kindly greeting,
as Mr. Gordon took the hand of bis boy.
But what is the matter, my son ? - You don't
look happy.

haPpened.7"
' The eyes of Richard filled with tears as
he looked into his father's face. He tried
to answer, • but his lips quivered.. ,Then,
turned iway, and opening the door of the
cabinet, brought out the fragments ot, a
broken statue, which had been sent home
only - the day before, and set them on a table
before his, father, over whose oetteteunuce
came instantly a shadow of regret. *. •
Who did this, my son was asked in
an even voice.
f''l• did it."
" - How ?"
"'I threw my ball In there, onee . ---Mily
once, in forgetfuln'ess. -
The,poor boy's tones were husky and trem
ulous.
A little while Mr. Gordon sat, controlling
hirnself;and collecting his disturbed thoughts.
Then he said cheerfully—
" What is done, 'Richard, can q be . helped.
That the broken pieces away. You have had
'rouble enough about it, I can see,, and re
proof enough for your thoughtlessness; so I
shall _ not add a word to increase your
pain."
"0, father 1" And the boy threw his
arms about his father's neck. <" You are so
kind, so goodl" ,
Five minutes later, and Richard entered
the sitting•room pith his father. Aunt
Phebe looked up for two shadowed faces;
but did not: see them. She was puzzled.
"That was`very unfortunate," she said, a
little while after Mr. Gordon came in. 44 It
was such an exquisitte work of art. It) is
hopelessly ruined." •
Richard was leaning against, his father
when his aunt said this. Mr. Gordon only
smiled, and drew his arms closely around his
boy. Mrs. Gorden threw upon her Sister a
look of warning, but it wairinheeded.'
" I think Richard was a ,verYnaughty
boy."
"We have settled all that, Phebe," was
the mild but, firm answer of Mr. Gordon;
"and it is one of our rules to get into the
sunshine as quick as posaible."
Phebe was rebuked, while Richard looked
grateful and, it may be, a little,triumphant,
for his ,aunt berme down upon him
rather too hard for a bay's patience to en
dure.
Into the sunshine as quickly as possible?
0, is not that the better philosophy for our
hones`? Is it not true Christian philoiophy ?
It is selfishness that grows angry' and rebels,
because a fault has been"committed: Let
us get the offender into the sunshine as
quickly as possible, so that 'true theughts
and right feelings may grow vigorous in its
warmth. We retain• anger, nut that'anger
may:act as a wholesome discipline,ibut be.
cause we are unwilling to forgive. Ah, if
we were
. always right with ourselves, we
would 'oftener be right with our children.—

The English Indian Fund.
The"segregate amount of subscriPtions
for the relief of the sufferers by the mutiny
in 'lndia, was X 433.620, or , about two
lions of dollars. Of this sum £127,286,
were sent to India for distribution, the au
thorities there being anthorized to draw for
xtd;000 more. In Great
_Britain about
X 40,000 were expended among eighty-six
wideirs and orphans of officers, twenty-five
orphans of o (sere, two hundre .and ninety
eight widows and four hundred and twenty
three children of 'while* six widols of Cler
gymen, and twenty-three widows and orphans
of civilians. About £365,000 remain to
be' distributed. It is now contemplated to
extend relief; which in many (Nisei is greatly
needed, to the troops generally, stationed in
India.
In the South.
The Secretary of the ,Interior has just ap
proved a grant , of two hundred and eighty
four thousand five hundred and sixty eight
acres of the hind inuring to the State .of
Florida under the provisions of the act of
17th of May, 1856, to aid in the construe-
tion of that portion of the Florida Railroad
extending from Fernandina, on the Atlantic,
to Cedar Key, on the Gulf of Mexico.
This road is destined to be one of the
most important in the country. It i s em
powered by its charter to establish a line of
steamers at each of the termini of the road
for the transportation of passengers and
freight between those points and any desired
ports on the Atlantic and. Gulf. It will
thus connect the important ports of the At
lantic and Gulf by nearly an air line across
the neck of the Florida :peninsula. For
more than a year this road has been in sue
cessful operation for nearly eighty miles of
its length, and we understood that, by the
let of January, it, will be in full operation.
A New York . `Company, we understand,
will carry passengers from New York to Fer
nandina, whence they will be conveyed by
rail across to Cedar Key going thence in
steamers to Tehuantepeo,tind from there to
California.

The press endures the.inflietion of dead

• A clergymen in Philadelphia recently
read a letter at one of the Sansom. Street
noon.day prayer-meetings, from a young
man of his acquaintance who was on board,
,the ill.fated Austria, in which he detailed
the last interview between, himself and five
Christian comrades who perished beneath
the waves. As soon as the destruction of
the vessel was found inevitable, these six,
young ,men took a position between the
flames ,and the water, with the understand
ing that at the last moment they would
unitedly consign themselves to the, latter.
In the bare moment thus allowed to con
template their fate, their Imp in Christ was
cocnfidently expressed, and, when to escape -1
the spreading fire their leap became neces
sary;ithey fondly grasped each other's hand,
and with a parting" farewell," and an ex
presseds confidence that in " a few Moments
they would` meet in heaven," they sprang
into the sea. The writer of the letter states
that after sustaining himself in the water . by
means' of a life•preserver, for four hours,
(during which time his contemplations of a
future state ripened into a joy in believing
in his Saviour such as he had never before
experienced,) a vessel hove in sight for-his
release, so that just at the moment when his
exhausted energies brought the' open door
of heaven more temptingly to view, he was
made the subject of an earthly , resone. The
reading of :the letter rcferred to elicited an
outburst of• feeling all, oyer, the room.
No =More Marys for the Catholics,
The doctrine of the .Inunaculate Concep
tion brings comfort to the Protestant 'heart.-
That antecedent of the VirgimMary's birth.
having been adjnsted, and sanctified, by the
recent PaPal buil on the subject, his holineis
finds it due to the divine character now af
fixed to hey nature, to forbid the ust-of her,
halite at present; and we accordingly
have a decree, attested with all the insignia
of Papal authority, fOrbidding the true Cath
olic hereafter to call' his child " Miry."
Had the decree, going a step further, had
retrospective action, and unnamed the actual
wearers of the prenomen, it would have been
still more gratefuk It would have benefited
this generation, as well as those to follow.
For it his „happened that the Virgin Mary,
as the most powerful medium of devout as
piration in heaven, has been unduly honored
with this peculiar form of ascription. Pious
Catholic families, desirous of conciliating
this potential influence, have Italian) , so
•named one, at leasti of their children.'
Hence the multiplicity of Marys—an exu
berance, among other domestionvils of Prot
estantism not the least annoying, since, to
say, nothing. of the "sentimental side of the
siuestiOthe ,nUmber breeds infinite Ciallill
eiOn' and often involves the necessity of at
taching a substitute ad libitum, to some o f
the throng. The immediate bearing of the
pontificial rescript upon this " minor misery"
is obvious. The name " Mary " becomes a
Protestant name; it attains sectarian signi
ficance. It has been turned out of the
,Church, and fills, like others of its good
things, to unbelievers and enemies. The
Protestant may, felicitate himself Upon the
acquisition.—New York Times.

DR. M I LANE'S
CELEBRATED
VERMIFUGE
AND
LIVER PILLS.
\ATE beg leave to call the atten
' tion of the Trade, and more
especially the Physicians of the
country; to two of the most popu
lar remedies now before the public.
We refer to
Dr. nag. tune's Celebrated
Vermiluge and Liver Pills.
We do not recommend them as
universal Cure-alls, but simply for
what their name purports, viz.:
THE VERMIFITGE,
For expelling Worms from the
human system. It has also been
administered with the most satis
factory results to various Animals
subject to Worms.
THE LIVER PILLS,
For the cure of LIVER. COMPLAINTS,
all 131 L lOU S DERANGEMENTS, SICK
HEAD-ACHE, &c. - In =CS of
FEVER AND AGUE,
preparatory-to or after taking Qui
nine, they almost invariably make
a speedy and permanent cure.
As specifics for the above men
tioned diseases, they are Unrivaled,
and never known to fail when ad
ministered in accordance with the
directions.
Their unprecedented popularity
has induced the proprietors,
FLEMING BROTHERS ' ,
PITTSBURGH, PA.
to dispose of their Drug business,
in whith they have been success
fully engaged for the last Twenty
Years, and they will now give their
undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de
termined that Dr. M'Lane's Cele
brated Vermifuge and Liver Pills
shall' continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the
great remedies of the day, they
will continue to spare neither - time
nor expense in procuring the Best
and Purest material, and com
pound them. in the most thorough
manner. Address all' orders to
FLEW& BROS. Pittsburgh, Pa.
P. S. Dealera and Physicians ordering from others
than Fleming Bros., will- do well to write their orders
distinetly, and take none but Dr: JrZanes, prepared by
_Fleming Bros. .ritt' sburvh, Its. To those wishing to give
them a trial, we will forward per mail, post paid, to any
part, of the United States, one box of .Pills for twelve
threecent pOstage stamps, or one vial of Vermifoge for
fourteen three-cent stamps. All orders from Canada must
be accompanied by twenty cents extra.
