Beyond this I am ignorant of what is best or worst for ms-whether sickness or health, poverty, wealth, or any earthly allot msnt vi. It lies around us like a cloud— A world wo do not see Yet the sweet closing of an eye May bring us thereto be I From anew work by Rev. H. J. Van Lennep, entitled “ Bible Lands, their modern customs and manners,” we extract the follow tag description of some of the oriental fanatical sects : There, for example, are “the whirling Der vishes.” Their notion seems to be that the highest form of religious contemplation consists in a dreamy dizziness, which is produced in Ihe following manner: Their Sheikh takes his place on a small mattress near the edge ot a circular space, occupying the centre of Home chapel. After prayer, the Dervishes,barefoot, stand round the circle with crossed arms ami hands resting on their shoulders. The silence is broken by the music ol flules, in a plaintive key. One, then another of the Dervishes, eyes closed and arms out-stretched, begins to whirl like a top, first slowly, and then rapidly round the circle, his robe extending in the form of a cone five feet in diameter. The music now becomes animated: tambourines join in ; the rapidly whirling Dervishes keep remarkably clear of each other, and finally come to a standstill, each finishing with a graceful bow to the Sheikh. Again, there are “the howling Dervishes,” whose dancing is infinitely more Irantic, ending in exhibitions of absolute madness, such as bloody foaming at the mouth, horrible yell ings, and often fits, the last stage of which is utter insensibility. These devotees are in the habit also of cutting themselves with knives and stones. “While,” remarks Dr. Van Lennep, “we cannot deny that we have long known some howling Dervishes who were honest men, pow erfully influenced by fanaticism, such as is oc casionally exhibited at Western camp-meet ings, yet the principal character among them are rogues, and their public exhibitions usually frauds. It is in the latter that they pass iron skewers through the skin of their necks, and perform all the tricks of the fire eater.” A correspondent of the Nashville American gives the following descrip tion of a visit he recently paid to Spurgeon’s Chapel, in London, and of this fatuous preacher’s sermon : Like moat English-speaking foreigners who visit London, I found myself, one beautiful Sunday morning in July, crossing the Black friars’ bridge toward the chapel, or rather great temple, of Rev. C. H, Spurgeon. Arriving at the gate and finding several per sona standing within, I inquired if strangers were allowed seats. I was directed to an officer of the church, a few steps away, who handed me and my friend each a small envel op, saying: “ Enclose some contribution, what ever yon like, and drop it into the box aH you go in.” Doing as instructed, we passed intothemain audience room, where we were told to sit upon the little stools in the aisle till the hour of service, when all unfilled spaces in the pews would be free. We were early, and so were enabled to ob serve the coming of the vast congregation. As the hand on the clock came to 11, Mr. Bpurgeon entered quietly and took his chair upon the platform, beside a table, there being no sign of a pulpit. His entrance was the signal for us to “ come up higher,” and we exchanged our hard stools for places in a well cushioned pew, not many feet from the preacher’s platform. At the same time the great front doors were thrown open and in surged the vast eruwd of “strangers at the gate,” till every place of sitting and all available standing places were full. Soon all was quiet and Mr. Spurgeon offer ed an earnest, brief invocation, followed by a hymn, which was sung by the whole congre gation, led by a chorister. Such a volume of voice and power of sacred song I had never heard before in any church. The preacher then read some Scripture, familiarly and most pertinently commenting upon it as he proceeded- After prayer, and another song, the text was read ami Mr. Spurgeon, stepping away from the table, began his discourse. 1 cannot re port the sermon, nor would it lie particularly interesting here, if 1 could. Nor can 1 ana lyst' it so as to give any adequate idea of its power or parts. Following a method, better known in my profession than in the theolog ical, I might say something of its “active prin ciple’ and “salutary Asults.” Since Buskin and other great writers have listened to, and criticised not unfavorably the sermons of Mr. Spurgeon, 1 might tie expected to say nothing regarding them. But as every American has a right to an opinion and the liberty to express it, pretty generally, whether it tallies with others or not, 1 will venture a slight expression for home reading. Mr Spurgeon has, naturally, excellent powers of observation, with a fine memory and powerful reasoning faculties. Such is the balance among these, and such the training they have received, that they work with great apparent ease as well as precision and force, lie is ed ucated in books and educated in mankind, or in human nature, so that he applies what comes from the one to the condition and wants of the other with the greatest readiness and effect. Then, above all, and through all, ami for all, he is thoroughly trained in the “school of Christ,” so that his every (acuity and all his learning, and every sympathy and aspira tion ot his being, seem merged in the effort to turn the world from “sin to righteousness.” His language is plain, strong English, un- THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST. equivocal and right to the point. All bis fig ures and illustrations are simple and familiar, drawn Irom every day life. His pointß are based upon or have an object in human ac tions, the fartherest possible from the abstract and far away flights not uncommon among those who utterly fail while they earnestly strive to “ persuade men." And he is as fear less in denouncing evil as in proclaiming what he knows to be good. So intensely does he regard his hearers, and so closely hold them, as he brings forv ard fact after fact, and principle after principle, with illustrations and applications, that each feels the argument is for himseif, and not an eye wanders, nor an ear is closed, till he is done. I looked over the five thousand congregated people to see 11 I could discover one asleep; but not one sleeper did I find. Cptrat’s Cflrner. TOO SMALL TO HELP. “I am so unhappy, mamma deal, Because 1 am so small ! You have such lots of work to do, And I can't help at all.” “O, yes, my little Annie dear, Yon help me every day, When I am busy keeping Pet So happy at her play. “ You bring your papa’s slippers down ; You feed the pussy cat; Yon catch my rolling ball of yarn ; And, better still than that, “ You always keep a smiling face To cheer your mother's heart, Though big folks wash, and sweep, and dust, You do your little part!” TIIE JHGIC Of SILENCE. You have often heard “it takes two to mate a quarrel.” Do you believe it ? I’ll tell you how one of my little friends managed: Dolly never came to see Marjorie that there was not a quarrel. Marjorie tried to speak gently, but no matter how hard she tried, Dolly finally made her so angry that she would soon speak sharp words too. “0, what shall I do?” cried poor lit tle Marjorie. “Suppose you try this plan,” said her mamma; “the next time Dolly comes in, seat yourself in front of the fire, and take the tongs in your hand. Whenever a sharp word comes from Dolly, gently snap the tongs, without speaking a Word.” Soon afterwards, in marched Dolly, to see her little friend. It was not a quarter of an hour be fore Dolly’s temper was ruffled, and her voice was raised, and, as usual, she began to find fault and scold. Marjo rie fled to the hearth, and seized the tongs, snapping them gently. More angry words from Dolly. Snap went the tongs. More still. Snap. “Why don’t you speak?” screamed Dolly, in a fury. Snap went the tongs. “Speak!” said she. Snap was the answer. “I’ll not come again, never!” cried Dolly. Away she went. Did she keep her promise? No, indeed. She came the next day, hut seeing Marjorie run for the tongs, she solemnly said if she would only let them alone, they would quarrel no more forever and ever. Skim! (fetocatiflit. Dr. Pritchard is to preach the annual sermon at the approaching com mencement of the University of North Carolina. Brother Lofton, in The Baptist, re ports |3,023 50 as the amount raised by him during the month of January, for the University at Jackson. Out of the 832 students who at tend the leading Scottish Universities last year, two-thirds of them were the sons of poor parents. Public instruction has received a great impulse in Portugal, lately. In the small towns there is a continual increase of teachers, while in the capi tol and other large cities night schools and those for adults are beiDg con stantly established. Vanderbilt University, at Nash ville, now has two hundred students in its medical department, one hundred and fifty in the literary, thirty in the theological, and twenty in the law. A Chinese young lady has just applied to the school board of San Francisco for a position as teacher in the public schools. Education is making progress in Russia. It appears from official docu ments that in 18fi0 only one conscript out of each hundred was able to read and write, while in 1870 the average had risen to eleven in each hundred, and this average has been still further increased of late years. • ♦ The little machine some time since invented in France, by the aid of which stenographic writing may be accom plished at the rate of between two and three hundred words per minute, is claimed to have proved a practical suc cess. It seems to be very simple. There is a keyboard, operated by the hand, and composed of twelve "black and an equal number of white keys ; and on each side of the instrument is a large key, moved by the pressure of the wrist, and serving to give supple mentary signs which simplify the read ing of the characters printed. All the keys, when opeiated, produce indica tions in ink on a roll of paper, which is taken from a reel in manner similar to that on the Morse telegraphic appa ratus; the black keys, however, give long marks, while the white ones cause similar dots to be tianscribed. At each pressure of the fingers on the key board, the paper is automaticall / un rolled for about 0.02 of an inch, so that on each line any combination of twelve double signs may be imprinted and these signs are arranged in three' groups of four each, and read from left to right in the ordinary manner. The number of characters which may be made on each division of four is more than sufficient to require a single movement to form a singe letter; in other words, with practice, three let ters or less can be written at once. If the useless letters be suppressed, such as double letters, e mute, etc., fre quently a single movement will pro duce an entire word. The manipula tion of the keyboard requires about six months’ practice to ensure skill. lii the active pursuit of pleasure or gaiu. the inestimable blessing of health is too often for gotten until disease is firmly seated, and the fact only realized by great bodily and mental suffering. The Liver is the vulnerable point in most persons, and the disarrangement of the organ involves almost the whole system ; hence the reason why under Liver disease there is enu merated such a number of afflictions, and we claim the Simmons’ Liver Kegulator to be a rem for them all.
