When on the wings of memory we
glide back on the tide of time, we find
man walking amid the bowers of Eden,
in its beauty and glory. But this was
not his permanent home. Mutation
entered the paradise of man, and in his
weakness, he fell from lii.s original con
dition.
The next place ,ve find him bowing in
sycophantic reverence, to gods ot brass,
and gods of stone. Yes, he had forgotten
the true <od, and learned to worship the
idols of the devil.
lhit finally the “Star of Bethlehem”
stepped forth from the depths o( it's ce
rulean home, and guided the “wise men,”
to the place where the Babe of Bethle
hem was cradled. Then it was, that
Christianity found its way into our land
and soon lhc air was filled with the song
ot the angelic host, singing a song, that
earth’s millions had never heard before.
And from that time until the present,
Christianity has been mans true guiding
But. alas ! when we review the history
of the world, we often stand amazed, at
the wonderful changes that have trans
pired upon the earth. \\ hen we behold
the places where once stood those grand
architectures, that won* erected, l*v the
hands of the ancients, we find that they
have long since, been floated from the
map of existence. Ihe most splendid
marks of genius, which include the
Temple of Solomon,” the Pyramids of
Egypt,” and “the city of Koine, who sat
tip on her “seven hills,” and from her
throne of beauty ruled the world
Where is she to-day '? Wer glory lias
departed forever, and her renown sank
beneath the rubbish of ages;
“Man is like unto a shadow, and like
shallows we pass away.”
Could we commune with the spirit of
Aloxandei j who after conquering the
whole world, “wept that there was not
another world to conquer’* ] and ask him
what is the worth of earthly glory ’? the
answer would he, it is as lhc vapor that
passeth away beneath tlie morning sun,
or, like the snow, falls in the river, a

Where now is ('easar, tile demigod of

and waved the bloody scepter over sub
jugated nations! Where now, is the
glory, it has lied, as the dew of the mor
ning, and he is known to the present
generation, only by history,
Then does it not look strange that
man knowing that there is nothing trite
hut heaven, would run wild after the fbl
i*s of transitory things, knowing that
they must all pass away.
Yes, where is the soldiers earthly ref

We have had here for 2 years an admin*

were “reformers”, yet, had as Grant
and his supporters made the history of
their 8 years of power, there was under
them a deeenterregard than under llays
for the rules of common honesty in tVo
conduct of the public business. Y e
did not have under Grant any such un
blushing attempt to force or purchase
a nomination for the Presidency as ve
now see in the case of Sherman. '1 lis

from his subordinates to help elect Foster

Men who really care for genuine re

is poured upon the moon during the long
lunar day of more than a fortnight,
while during the long lunar night a cold
prevails which must far exceed that of
our bitterest Arctic winters. We know
fiom the heart measurements made by
t lie present Lord Rosse, that any part of
the moon’s surface at lunar midday is
000 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than the
same part two wi'eks later at lunar mid
night. The alternate expansions and

of temperature cannot ptoduce changes,
