THE BENEFITS OF . 'THE - - ATONEMENT :.NOT„
DESIGNED S'Olt.
Having then ascertained the real Obit *t;
issue, ife;
an application of the eaving'binefiti of the'
Atonement to all mankind ? We answer in
the negative, for the following reasons:
Ist. Those benefits are not thus applied
to all mankind. Here, there can be no dis
pute; facts declare that .tens of thoumnds
treat them with utter indifference and con
tempt. But had God designed their appli
cation to all, such would not have been the,
result. It is no answer to the argument
from facts to say the fault belongs to the
sinner; this is freely admitted, but it does
not in the least relieve the objector. The
rejecting sinner's opposition to God's mode
of saving lost men by and through the
merits of Jesus Christ, is no greater, by na
ture or constitution, than that of the believing
sinner. To use an homely but expressive
phrase, all men are chipped from the same
block; the same deep, dismal, damning
taint of total depravity attaches equally to
all men. " There is none good, no not one ;"
of course, not one better by nature than
another in the sight of God. And if the
opposition of pne is overcome, and that of
another remains in full force, what makes
the difference ? Does he make it himself
Then, let the sinner claim, as his own ob
vious right, the praise of that difference,
and divide the honor of his salvation with
Jesus Christi Can the difference be act-
counted for on the ground that his heart
and will were not as deeply opposed to God's
plan of saving sinners as his neighbor's ?
But how can this be true, if all men are
equally depraved by nature, as the Bible and
common sense declares ? If one's heart and
will are better than anotheee, who made
them better ?' Himself? Then give' him
the praise. But if. God made them better,
let God have the praise. Can we account
for the difference from the feet that one
makes a better use, of the means than an
other ? But whence COMES the 'disposition
in one to use the means better than an
other From himself? Then he is not
totally depraved as others, contrary to reason
and Scripture. Does this disposition come
from the Holy Spirit ? Then let the Holy,
Spirit have the praise of the difference.
Does one use the self determining power of
the will to better advantage than another?
But how qomes it, that the will of one is
more manageable than that of another, ex
eept by supposing' that they are not, by na
ture, equally depraved ? which is unscrip
tural and absurd.
Turn the question as you please, and view
it from every point of light, the argument,
from the facts in the ease clan be met only
by denying the equal and universal de
pravity of all men, robbing God of at least
part of the glory of our salvation, and
claiming the remainder to ourselves. To
return to the argument, we reiterate the de
claration that the rejecting sinner's opposi
tion to God's method of saving sinners by
grace through the merits of another is no
greater by nature than that of the believing
sinner, and consequently it would have been
just as easy for the Holy Spirit, if such had
been the Divine purpose, to have applied
the saving benefits of Christ's death to one
as another. Bat facts prove they are not
applied to all; and we have just seen the
absurdity of supposing that sinners make
the application for themselves; or , that any
influence, short of the Holy Ghost should
make it for them. Henoe the conclusion is
irresistible that God did not design the ap
plication of the saving benefits of the
Atonement to all mankind, because they are
not thus applied. It is perfectly fair and
logical to infer the Divine designs from his
actions; what he purposes, from what he
does.
Bat ) replies the objector, the failure of
the application, then, must lie at the door
of Omnipotence: We reject the inference
and assert that it lies at the door of the sin
ner's own radioal perverseness and depravity;
" Ye will not come unto .me that ye might
have life." If the sinner, by his nut - misted
efforts, can do, : that obstinate perverseness
of heart and will, and will come to Christ
without Divine assistance, he mill' certtinly
share in the saving results of the Atone
ment; for Christ himself has said, " Who
soever cornea" (it matters • not whether
with or without foreign aid) "unto'me, I
will in no wise oast out." lint was God
under any hbligation to remove and destroY,
in all men, that deep.eeated opposition to
God and he Gospel which marks 'their
character? as all men had become traitors
to the Divine Government, was he bound to
make all those traitors friends ? These
queries answer themselves ? So far from it,
God might have justly left all to the terrific
yet righteous consequences of their treason.
And yet his sovereign compassion induced
him to , purpose and accomplish the salinition
of What"may prove, in the end, to be a vast
majority of the race; at least "a multi
trade which nh man our' number." What
unutterable love and camped= are thus
displayed I Yet for this unmerited display
of Divine goodness, Arminianism; conceiving
God was in a sense bound to make this disk
play, awards hiut"no credit ; but by impli
cation blames him for not equally designing
the salvation of all, when he might play
lave saved none.
If then, as every true Christian admits,
salvation is the gift of God; and if, as is
equally admitted, no rebel against the
Divine Government can claim salvation as a
right, it follows inevitably that the right of .
seleeting " the vessels of merey,"telongs to
'lied, against whom all have rebelled. And
that he did not choose to make the whole
rice the vessels of mercy, is proven by the
facts in the ease; many are permitted to
"ermine in theirrebellion, and thus beeom -
- "the vessels of wrath%fitted to destruction."
Thim again, we are led back to the point from
which we started, viz : that - God did not de-
Sign au application'of the saving benefits of
the Atonement to all men, because facts
demonstrate they are not so-applied.
2d. The fitness of things would seem to
require that among an innumerable multi
tude of rebels, some should be made the
monuments of trustica. We are apt to for
get that JUStice is quite as essential to the
- Completeness — of — the Divine character as
mercy.- But -had'ilod designed to save all
mankind by the sacrifice of Christ, then all
the real violators of the Divine law must have
escaped every demonstration of justice.
But, thefitness of things obviously demands
that at least. a'part of the' rebels should suf
fer the-just penalty of a broken law, in their
own placee'ind persons; but this were im
possible if all were saved: And assuredly
Omnipotence can accomplish what Omnip
i'dtencevdesigns. If every violator escaped
the peV:sonaCendurpce of the penalty in
itinight encourage rebellion
in other Pails` of `G-4d'i doininions; to stim
ulate revolt in. other and higher orders of
nteltigenoe. "' That some should meet and
exhaus . that penitliy; their own persons,
is manifestly; the' decision of infinite wis
diittiOnaSidttelCati all':edmit that some have
lOng,eridureil; own persons, and are

Akio' by 'nature, "the vessels of wrath fitted"
(bY their;rvn: sins) " to destruction," it of
donne devolves- tipon God to say who shall

a'pOdi debtor fliOnStlyldkififirted forever
in the prison of dental bondage and wrath,
if his substitute and surety has met ,and
cancelled all the olaiaks of justice against
him ? For, according to the views opposed,
Christ is as much a snrgty for the, lost its the
raved. Surely no righteous Government on
earth or in heaven would -sanction such pro
'
seeding as this.
It is no answer to thee, difficulties to say,
it is the sinner's own fault,
,if he sustains,
in his own person, the penalty incurred.
Thin is freely admitted, without - in the least
relieving the objector. It hes already been
shown that the rejecting shiner's opposition
to the Gospel is no greater, by patine,
than that of others;* that none have ever
shaken of that opposition without help from
above, and of course that the same Divine
influence which made "vessels of mercy"
out of corns of the mvoispels of wrath,"
could Invie dorm so for all. Besides, if a
large portion of those for whom Christ paid
the debt, shill be compelled to make a
second payment in hell forever, what be
comes of the Father's promiee to the Son,
lea liii : 11, "Ile shall see of the travail
of his soul, and shall be satisfied ?" If all
are equally " the travail of his soul," how
can Jesus be satisfied if all are not saved.
Impossible. Thus, too, according to the
sentiments opposed, the - Father's word is
broken, grow injustice is done to the Son,
having failed to reach' "the joy set before
him for which he endured the cross, des
pising the shelve," and equal' injustice is
done to• the sinner, who, through and by
his surety, has fully met the claims of law
and justice against , hip;. From all which
the conclusion is inevitable, that Christ
could not have auffered; and did not suffer,
the penalty incurred, for those who are now
suffering, or shall
.vet suffer, the same
penalty•in the gloomy prison of the damned
forever.
4. Farther : If' Chriikdied as much for
all as fora part of mankind, then for a part
he has'died in'vain. He has accomplished
but a part of his design, and in part he
was defeated. But can ap inference so in
evitable as thin be admitted without',irn
pugning the power and wisdom of Jesus
Christ 2. > . Did the Almighty Saviour ever.do
anything in vain ? Especially did he die the
accursed death of the: cross, the great
transaction of his life, in vain ? Did he
shed a solitary drop of blood, or utter one
agonizing cry, in vain ? Surely, if by his
death he designed the ,salvation of a/1, as
be did of a part, then his death was in
pate a grand failure ; not onlyin vain for
those whose salvation be designed but failed
to secure by his death, but worse than in
vain, as the failure is fraught with more
mischief to them than if' he had not died
for them at all. 'Pre omnipotent. Jesus,
then, it seems, has labored partly in vain,
and that, too, in thcgreatest and mightiest
effort of his life; the stupendous achieve
ment of Gethsemair and Calvary was only
in part successful What an insult to
infinite wisdom, of Christ! What an im
peachment of his power 1

Some time ago we announced the gratifying
intelligence that those enterprising publishers,
Smith, English & Co., were about to issue this
work, and we are glad to be able to say that it
has now made its appearance. The translation
is by our township/4 Dr. Rranth, pastor of the
English Evangelical Lutheran church of this
city. He has performed his part in a manner
creditable to his taste, scholarship, and industry,
as all who know his rare accomplishments for a
work of this kind would expect him to do. Tholnck
has been for many years one of the great lights
of the Church in Germany, and he has now a higher
reputation, and a greater personal influence, than
any theologian of his country. The fanie of his
eloquence and learning is known in every land,
and his humble', childlike, and genial piety, are
admired by aIL At times he has stood almost
alone in the advocacy of Evangelical, truth, in
opposition to Rationalism. In his ardent piety,
in his'capacity for deep `and. meditative ithonght,
accurate acquaintance - itith the peculiarities . of
language, nice perceptionvofi a foroe, glowing
imagination, and clear insight into the spiritual
nature of man, he possesses ,peculiar advantages
for understanding and elucidating. the Gospel of
John.
The first edition of this work was dedicated to
the great Neander by whose instrumentality Tho.

edition. Philadelphia: Wm. S. 4 gyred Afar

422. 1869.
This is a charming story for young people, that
has already reached the seventh edition. The
Young Marooners are children, who, while in a
boat in .Tampa Bay, are carried out to sea by a
fish seizing the cable ; and after great anxiety
they reach an uninhabited island, where they go
through many strange adventures. It is a blend,
log of fact with fiction, of curious and useful in
formation with exciting adventure. The author's
object ie to instruct young people in regard to
natural history, and to teach a lesson of self-de
pendence. The incidents of the story, which the
Author says are strictly true, are so arranged as to
bring into view a great variety of curious, novel,
and stirring information ; while the adventures of
the Young Marooßers, are nearly as wild and ex
citing as those of Robinson Crusoe.

Let no one suppose when he observes the name
attached to this book, that it announces' the ap
pearance of any thing of the milk and water sort,
or of the trifling and frivolous. On the contrary,
it is filled with stores of wisdom and the wildest
flowers of wit, making it a book to be gravely
consulted fo , r instruction ortripningly turned over
for entertainment. The " Tin Trumpet," by the
late Paul Chatfield, M. D., edited by Jefferson
Sanders, Esq., was first published in London, in
1836, and immediately afterwards in this country,
but owing to the fact that much of its matter re
ferred to political squabbles and religious differ
ences of merely local character, the success of
the work was but temporary. Bat for the pres
ent edition the American editor has retained the
true wisdom and wit of the original, whilst re
jecting all that was superannuated or merely
local, and has added a rich collection:of wit and
wisdom from many of the best writers, ancient
and modern. The selections are alphabetically
arranged, so that they will be a mine sof wealth
to ready writers, and serve to while away 'pleas
antly and profitably a Summer afternoon or a
Winter evening:. The type, paper; and binding,
accord exactly with the character of the book.

Little. Bella's Four Texts.
" Mamma," said Bella, a' little girl of six
years' old,' one: evening to her mother, "
have four texts ; one for the morning, one for
the middle of the day, and one for the even
ing, and one for when I go to' bed; shall I
say them to you 1"
"Do, my love," replied her mother.
"My morning one," said Bela, "is
g Jesus Christ came into the world to save
sinners;' and my middle of the, day one is,
Come unto me all ye that' are weary and
heavy laden; and I will give you rest ; and
my evening one is, Him that cometh. auto
me I will in, no wise cast out;' and my one
for when Igo to bed is, God is love.'
" And very good and appropriate I think
theyare," said ¶' her mother, for when you
say in the morning, Jesus Christ came to
save sinners,' you may think—well, I am a
sinner, so he came to save me; how I should
love him for that l and how I must try to
obey him all day;"then, by the middle of
the day, perhaps you have been naughty,
and feel sorry for it, or something may have
vexed you, and then that verse comes sweet
ly into your mind, "Come unto me all ye
that are weary and heavy laden, and I will
give you rest ;' and, in the evening, how
ever naughty or foolish you may have been,
you can still remember the promiee, Him
that °meth unto me I will in no "wise 'cast
out ;" and then when bed-time o omes, and
yon look back on all that has happened dur
ing the day, and how kind God has been to
you in many ways, you can say, with all
your heart, God is love.'"
" Yea, mamma," answered Bella, eagerly.
" That's it; when : I say my morning text,
and think Jesus came to save me,l will
love him, and try to obey him ; an in the
middle of the day, "I will say,' Come unto
me,' and I will go to Jesus, and ask him to
weshlne in his . blodd, and then I will-feel
him taking Me in' his arms, and I Will say, I
will do any thing mamma wants 'me to do,
and I will be good vend, in the evening,
when I say, " Him that cometh unto me I
will in no wise east `otit,'',l will think Jesus
won't say, Go away ! I want a better girl
than you; and, at night, when I go to bed,
I will remember all there things, and I will
say, ' God is love.' "

Roses
Are the pride of, the flower garden in June
From the lOw growing Tea to the standard
Bourbon, June, Pillar, and• Prairie Climber,
red, pink, bluish, lilac, yellow rind white
roses, are in fall flower, shedding both beau
ty and -fragrance. If the border contain
but a single, flower, let that be a Remontant
rime. —4ltigs, slugs and leaf hoppers will
dispute wiphyyou -,their possession. The
rose-bug may be destroyed by shaking them
into a shallow basin - of hot water. Whale
oil soap, dissolved lit the" rate of one pound
to,three gallons of water, will destroy both
sings and thrips. Pour it on the rose from
a watering-pot, or use a hand-syringe with
a sprinkler attached.
Thin - Ont the Plants.
Most persons allow their plants, both veg
etables and flowers, to gow too near togeth
er. Beets, onions, carrots, parsnips, etc.,
should be thinned out very soon after they
appear above ground. Cucumbers, squashes,
and melons need similar treatment. Three
plants left to : grow in7a•hill, are aufficient,
Bo of flowering - plants, raised from seed.
They are' too' often left to grow in a dense
jungle or bunch, where they crowd each other,
become week and spindling, and, never attain
their matins beauty. Annuals may some
time be grown-in masses; ' bid even then
they are much finer if the individual plants
stand several inches apart. Where it is
not wished to mass them, such flowers as
Candytuft, Phlox Drummondii, Asters, Bal
sams, and Steilre ' should stand at least one
foot asunder. We now recall the eight of a
single plant of white candytuft growing in
our garden last Summer, which was shaped
like a bee-hire, and covered with a profu
sion of flowers in every part, and looked
much better than if massed. It aometimes
requires a good deal , of courage to pull up
vigorous growing young plants and throw
them away, but it must be done, if one
would have a valuable garden of vegetables
or flowers.—American, Agriculturist.
Uses of Coal Ashes.
In answer to some inquiries on this sub
ject, we would say that their value as a ma
nure is not very great. The chemists will
tell us that they contain only a little potash,
much less than wood-ashes, and that they
are composed chiefly of earthy materials,
with some sulphate of lime or gypsum.
Experience will best decide where they are
most beneficial; hurtful they can hardly be.
In heavy clay soils, they will, by mechani
cal action, tend to make the ground porous
and easy 'of tillage. And for this reason,
some, good cultivators recommend their free
use in potato-fields, as they render the soil
light and dry, and so favor the healthful
ness of the tuber., Thirty, fifty, or even a
hundred bushels an acre are not too much.
They may be used advantageously as , a tops
dressing to grass-lands; also as a mulch to
fruit trees in Summer, and °,a protection to
their roots in Winter. - A Flemish Beauty
pear tree that we saw last Summer, was
loaded down: with fruit, from having been
liberally mulched in this way.—lbid.
Grapes
The vines are now pushing ahead rapidly,
and requireheading , back and thinning out.
Rub off unneoessayy shoots and pinch back
bearing branches to six or eight inchesliom
the bunches. Hand-pick' insects, and en
trap in : bottles the < < millers about depositing
eggs upon -thee vine. Bonfires or torches
about . the, garden., or vineyard, will be of
much seivice in destroying them in locali
ties where they abound.
Insects begin to be troublesome at this
season. Destroy the slugs on;pear and cher
ry trees' with' whale-oil soap dissolved in
water and thrown, upon ,the trees with a
syringe having a' sprinkler at the end.
Dusting with wood ashes or air slacked lime,
will also :destroy them. Apply when the
leaves are - Wet with dew.

DR. N. STEBBINS having opened a Dental Office at 191

In introducing these new and improved styles of Den

the same favorable reception which has been accorded to
them in New York and other localities where they have
been practically tested; and he furthermore believes that

every quality which render artificial teeth desirable, and
are at the same time much lees expensive.

method, if not perfectly satisfied, may exchange for Gold
Plate, by paying the difference. Specimens of the Conine

SPECIFICS FOR CONSUMPTION.
SYRUP OF THE HYPOPHOSPLIFFSS,
Composed of the liypophospilites of Lime,
Soda, Potassa, and Iron.
These remedies were brought to notice by Dr. Joh n
Francis Churchill, an eminent physician of Dublin, and
have attracted much attention from the medical profession.
To give a general idea of their wtion, we make the follow.
log extracts from Dr. Churchill's Parer." On the Proximate
Cause and Specific Remedy of Tuberculosis," read I:•eiure
the Academy of Medicine, Paris, July,lBl7. Says Dr. C 4--
" The total number of mars of Pbthisis treated by Me
amounts to thirty-live. All were either in the second or
third stages of the complaint; that is, they had either
softened tubercles or cavities in the lungs ; of tame, min,
recovered completely, the physical signs of the diseaae die
appearing altogether in eight out of that number; clews
improved considerably, and fourteen died. The results
will be foundio justify the following conclusions:
"The proximate cause, or at all events an essential con
dition of the tubercular diathesis. is the decrease is th q
system of the phosphorus which it contains in an oxygent.
sable state.
"The specific remedy of the disease consists in the use of
a preparation of phosphorus, uniting the two renditions,
being in such a state that it may be directly assimilated,
and at the Name time at the lowest possible degree of oxy-
Wien.
"The effects of these salts upon the tubercular diathesis
is immediate ; all the general symptoms of the disease dii
appearing wits a rapidity which is really marvelous. If
the pathological deposit produced by the dyscrecy is of re
cent formation, if softening has only just set in, and does
not proceed too rapidly,the tubercles are reabsorbed and
disappear. When the softening has attained a certain de
gree, it sometimes continues in spite of the treatment; and
the Issue of the trees , * then depends upon an anatomical
condition of the local lesion, on its extent, and upon the
existence or non-existence of complications. I have made
numerous attempts to main* the local condition of the
lungs by the inhalation of different 'substances, but have
never obtained any- satisfactory result independent of whet
was to be attributed to the specify treatment. The Hypo
phosphites are certain prophylactics against tubercular
disease. •
" The physiological effects show these preparations to
have a two-fold action; on the one hand they inerense the
principle, whatever that may be, which constitutes err
vons force, and on the other, they elevate the tone of the
several functions concerned in alimentation and nutrition.
They seem to possess, in the highest degree, all the there.
.pentical properties formerly attributed by different oh
servers to phosphorus itself, without any of the danger
which attends the use of that substance. The different
preparations of Ilypophosphonm Acid will undoubtedly
occupy one of the nowt important places in the Materia
Medics."
The success of this treatment being ao much in advance
of anything befitre attained in the management of this
heretofore alined incurable disease, calls for thorough
testing of these remedies. With this view, thecombination
here offered in the form of Syrup hes been made.
The beneficial effects of these Salts are not limited to
Consumption alone; they are appropriate remedies In a
