tians used this season as a means of re

the absence of 'persecution allowed them

We hardly know whether w are not
guilty of impiety in, re-producing the,
closing fi en te ces of the , peragraph
quoted from : ".Those fasting days of
Jesus seem to have weakened
They made him accessible to tempta
tion. They brought him face to face
with Satan. And these perilous expe•
riences of our Lord are not the — ones
that it is peculiarly
,desirable to matt
tate." "No doubt ye are the people;
and „wisdom-will die with you," -is lan
guqe that might with all charity be
addressed to some of the theologians of
our time. Are we to bellsve fq.K a mo
ment that by //is fasting ouriLord laid
Himself open to temptation tit a degree
that would-otherwise have been avoid
ed ? Was- it the - Spirit. of God or the
Spirit of Evil that led Him up into the
wilderness to be tempted ? Was not His
fasting what may, be called a natural
, and necessary aqcompaniment of Hie
mysterious experience during -t hta t
`eventful period, rather than in any
manner or measure the cause of His
tkniptation, beyond thp appeal of the
Tempter,il" if , Thou be the Son of God,
Acommand that tliLie stones be made
bread"? What is the actual relation of
fasting to our moral end spiritual well
beingk? Is it not the unmistakable tea
ching, both of our Lord and of St. Paul,
that fasting is a source of spi rit ua 1
strength, rather than of weaknessci and
does not the well-nigh universal testli
mony of the Christian Church 'admon 7
ish us that there are wonders pertain
tug to the mysterious life of the Soul,

istic, sensational philosophy of ou r
time ? in regard, to
.this
,questiou of
tasting, she bids us bow with reverence
and awe before the Preeepr,and exam
ple of her divine Head. , -
The concluding paragraphs of Mr.
Beecher's article we regard' witli un
feigird satisfaction. • Beginning 'and
endiug as it does, with the "criticisms"
throiVn in between, We halt suspect

"The season thus sanctified by tmp.-:
ions will be found to be peculiarly pro
fitable if observed by enlightened and
rational Christians. It is a hotter 'Sea;
son than the weak of prayer.' Th e
week of prayer comes at a time when
it is impossible to make headway against
the foam of holiday fun, and the rush
and accumulation of business care tliat
come with. the new year. : • '• •
"It would seem as' if worse weeks
auld not be chosen than the weeks that
begin with the new year, nor better
weeks than those that begin and ells
with Lent. In our large towns and cit
ies, balls,'partity, fashionable thieatrt
cals, weddings—in *d'art, worldliness,
is at least eheekeddnring Lent. s'l.ish

our foreign population, and Mir poor
folks that are led and comforted by the
church of Rome, arc less'sensuens, lees,
frequentlyintoxicatey; they are More
sober, iudustrions, and. 'aceessible to
spiritual truth. They are getting ready
for Easter confession. ' 'Half of the eom
munity are, to a *eclat* extent, trans
quilized and put in expectation. And
w hen one-half of a city in arected thus,
the other half cannot help feeling it.—
For we are lift6l by spiritual tidies.—
There are Whirls and Vertices of social
and magnetic power, Which no- Chris
tian laborer ean afford to disregard.
" A protest against the corruptions of
the Roman church should never have
necessitated the disuse of her usages
that were at once pure and profitable.
.We did not give up her Lord's day.—
We are slowly but surely returning - to
her Christmas.day. And now, having
had large experience in the necessity of
revival seasons, _protracted meetings
and weeks of prayer,-why Inot set apart
the forty days of Lent and call them
the Sabbath of the year, and l in them
chasten ourselves to salutary modera
tions and temperance, which shall be
not merely a meohanical fast from'meat
and addiction to , . fish, but shall be a
Pruning of those great sucking sprouts
that thrive near the , ground, in order
that, for a little season, the fruit-bear
era may receive more sap, and set their
blossoms with the Spring, and bring
forth the fruit of a well-oidered life,
and of undying hope ever beightening
in beauty? .

"Some of our rural contemporaries do net ap
pear, to take the cermet view of, the land 'grant
made to the:Northern Pacifici railroad. One 'Of
thein says that it wants to see the road a success
on the largest scale ;, but it goes on to say that if
the people are to bo robbed of the land, they
ought to own the road when it shall bo comple

people want that land until the =di.% conniver'.
t a d ?_ • xney - couta neither get to.
it, or away from It, or find a market for their
products, without the road. Who then is to •be
beneflited in the end, the people, who will be able
to settle up the country became of the road, or
the men Who furnish the cash to build it? •The
answer.is—both;. but most, the people of the U.
States. If by giving away ten. of- twenty acres,-
worth now twenty dollars, all told, the remaining
ten aores,will be worth ten dollars n acre , we
conclude that giving, in so much, Is , he true way

ILtearairuao, Feb. 25, 1871
There is not much that is new origi- ,
tutting in the Legislature present,
consequently communications u p 032
that subject must necessarily be dull to
the reader. The indefatigable Peter
Herdic has his bill before the Legiela
tare again for the -forming of a rietv
,county out of parts of Tioga; Bradford
and Lycoming, and with 'about 'the
same prospect of success as
. heretofore,
unless people's minds change very . laud
denly. It is said that a continual drop
ping will wear a stone, and this deter
minedpermistence,' year after'year, may
finally accomplish this .purpose., Let
bewhen those who are interested for
get or Jaegleot to oppose it !
Our • Legislature of 1869 appointed
three commissioners to simplify Orem
4nse and codify.our civil code, 'or di
gest of the laws now contlausil l l3- 11 = --
dAllosi nau ueeeMe too
bulky and complex for every day use,
and they have reported to this session
the i result of their labors, comprised in
a volume of about 800 pages, instead of
.the Ipo as now used. I have not ox
aMined it very carefully, and therefore
cannot speak with accurate knowledge,
but a majority of the, lawyers think it
makes such an innovation upon the
hitherto forensic' and mystic profession,
that every man :may become his own
lawyer, and-hence akserious lopping off
of , their legitimate business• It •does'
seem as if this professioni;of all-Others;
still adheres to th.atnntertainmOde 'of
teaching and Praottsing•that h ad-its or=
igi IA with the heathen oracles of `ancient
'Greece and Rome, and the soothsayers
of the remote Ohaldeans, who could in;
terpret to meet: the , emeigency ftte ,
case—and hence so many deoleions
overruled:by our courts.
A ensign •is fixed to dispose of the
bill for calling a Constitutional Con
vention, and it looks now 'as if some
plan would be agreed on satisfadtery to
all parties, and if So, the apportionment
; bill will speedily follow ;' which 'Would
have been urged before; but for the tar
diness of some c,ountieseln sending in

St. Valentines day' 'was' nshered
with a ; blinding' stiOW , storni;' and 'So
continued during the greater pareof the
day, to the 'great detriment and

have business at the post office. Be

they ,must of needs render it to theta /
as they appropriated $20,000 to the 'itietf,; l

The Legislature pissed a resolution.
adjourning over from Pridayintil Mon
day; to EilltAir membersto visit their
homes, and also to celebrate UK; 22nd,
Washington's blithdaY ; consequently
Harrisburg is vacated, and the hills of
the capitol silent and 'voiceless.
There are two bills be f ore the Legia;
lature relating to tfinperance, one or
both of which Will pass and become the
law of the State. The firatie called the
