Thames. —Our kindest thanks we ten der to Mrs. 11. P. Bell of Cumming for a little gift presented us yesterday. We highly prize the gift not for its intrins'c value, but as a living love light amid the sweet memories that cling like tendrils around the giver—memories so sweetly sad of her dearly loved friend whose cheer ful, pure, noble life was our sunshine, our light, and our joy, and whose death to us so untimely and bitter, has jnadc our life an abiding dream of our angel in the Spirit-Land—an angel sweet and holy now nestling in the bosom of her “Loving Jesus.” Juv. POLITIC A.' EXPERIMENT. That our State Constitution requires amendment all, or nearly so, admit. It caa be done only in two ways—first by the Legislature, and second by a Conven tion. The first requires too much time, and the last is objected to ns expensive. We propose to obviate that objection by a new plan, and which, in t rief, is this: Let the Legislature call a Convention, pro viding that the delegates shall receive no pay, and their action have no force until ratified by the people. This can do no great harm and may res suit in much relief to our over taxed peo ple. What say you brethren of the pre-s, aud tax-pyaers! Speak out. 8. THE SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR.

THE SKIES ARE BRIGTENING The present indications are that, the Religious press of the conn try has determined to stand stock »ti)l until dooms day, and do no niore than wrangle about old aud eflete issues betwe n themselves the papers will take charge of the great cause of religious progress and press forward the work of true religion, as the more I iberal spirit of the age require?. The good old Hennas,in his vis ion, saw the church moving on in the form of “an old woman.” That vision is now being realized. If it can be said that she now moves at all, it is “as an old woman.” In the Macon correspondence of our live and progressive neigh bor, the Atlanta Constitution, of a late date, we were pleased to see the following. THE CATHOLIC COLLEGE. “The Education—loving citizens of Macon, with characteristic en terprise,are striving to secure the location in this city of t he Catho lic College that Bishop Gr ss has inaugurated. With this idea, Mayor Huff, heading a committee ot the influential citizens, waited on Bishop Gross and urged the plan of placing the College on the Old Fair Grounds. The move ment is meeting with popular fa vor and the public spirited Ma* conites will leave no stone unturn ed to accomplish this purpose." What a contrast such enlighten ed liberality, on both sides pre sents to the narrow prejudices of some o. the whining, ultra secta rian time-serving and money-lov ing Priests and Preachers of times gone by. Tha Hass of men, and who have b» come sc roe already, will soon hate to give wav altogether to another and a very different one which is now marching up to the front rank. Christian men and women of this enlightened age and coun try arejiot to be hoodwinked and left by the ears just to gratify the whim or accomodate the interests i of the most ignorant orseltish pre-: tender in sacred things as hereto- j fore, The time is coming—has already come, when those who would assume to teach the way to life eternal must be able to■ “give a reason” for their faith J and show that the reason given is ■ sustained.by revelation. The game of the demagoue, in rehgioit. has about played out,— i The Church has now many fami-1 lies of children, all dear to Christ- lite services of those who seek | and labor to destroy all but one.of I these beloved families, cannot be | acceptable to him. “Ye shall. know them by their fruits. t)o men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?” All Christians are commanded to love one another.” We must learn to love Christians if we be such, altho’ we may seriously and sin cerely regret that errors of faith and practice have crept into the jChurch and deceived many. We may hate the error, as the work of our common enemy, and at the same time love our good brother, or sister who has been so deceived. And if all who profess (Chris tianity would come up to this line ai-xl show by their conduct that each loves e very other a very short time would suffice to heal all the breaches and eradicate all the errors, and differences of opinion which have and do divide them asunder. We commend to our readers the following,which we clip from the Editorial columns of the Southern Watchman of the 17th, and which, by the way, is one of the most progressive papers of of the country. This too has the ring of fine metal: catholic church. The recent visit of Bishop Gross to this city and his lectures and sennons were well received, and will lead to the establishment of a Catholic church here, doubt less ; as we understand he appoin ted a committee to solicit sub scriptions for the same. Seveial of our citizens have already sub scribed liberally—Messrs. Bloom field and Barry taking the lead so far. As our form of Government allows every citizen to worship God occording to the dictates of his own conscience, a tolerant spirit should prevail among all Christians. They all worship the same God-they all adopt the Cross as the symbol of salvation —they all trust to the merits of Christ. Why, then, should any be pro scribed? It is true that the Catho lic church teaches many dogmas which we, as a Protestant, are not willing to receive as Gospel truth, and so do other Christiaib denominations- yet we all meet and treat them in a spirit of broth erly kindness. Some of our fel low-citizens are Catholics and some be Jews. The spirit of Christianity requires us to extend to all the Charity which we claim for ourselves —a charity which “thinketh no evil,’’ but is ready to concede to all purity of motives and rectitude of intentions. In that broad spirit of Christian chari ty we should all treat the effort to establish another church in Athens. Methodists and Presbyterians. Episcopalians and Baptists, both Primitive and Missionary, white and colored, have churches here, and the “Children of Israel” have a place of worship. Why should not the Catholics also ? To which we will only ad d, And why should not Protestants help to build it? Many of them no doubt will do so, and find themselves feeling better within on that ac count. But this is not the way Catho lics and Protestants used to talk and do. A happy change is this. S. RAMBLER’S REPLY NO. 4. Readers of the Advance: Col. S. has but followed the course he was expected to follow in his treatment of the proofs that the final book of the New Testament was given to tell of things jet future at the time it was written, j To admit what 1 have shown, if plain words can show anything, is the clear meaning of the book would be to dissolve the very foundation of his theory. This, of course, he will not admit. As to his reference to Calvin ism, it is enough for me to say that I formed my opinions of election, not on Calvin, but upon the plain utterances of the New Testament. Paul wrote to the ’ Ephesians, chap. 1, vrs. 4, “ lie hath chosen us (saints) in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love ; having predestinated us ! unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ, to himself, accord ing to the good pleasure of his will." This quotation is but one of many that teaches the same doctrine,.and on them my view is based. If Col. S. desires to j fight with scripture, even to ex i plain it to mean the opposite of i its plain import, the field is open ■ to his endeavor. Tholuck, a great ! scholar of Germany, confessed, ■ according to Haldane, that he • was uncandid in exegesis of a j part of Romans, and that for the | sake of refuting Calvinism ! And ' when the Saviour preached elec i tion, as it has been understood. I to the people, in the Oth of St. i John, all but his real disciples forsook him. They also might | have left him had there been ■ anywhere else to go. But election was not the matter • in hand at the opening of this i discussion, and so, it is time to ■ dismiss’it, at least for the pres ent. Let the remainder of this article be devoted to that teaching of Col. Simmons' 1 , which tells us that a child has no soul till it is born and breathes. It is presumed that all who know his theoiy well, have noticed this teaching as be longing to it. When asked last week, as he quoted it from me, whether he believed a child, before its birth, oi breathing, had a soul, he gave a negative answer. It is hardly fair to suppose that the senior editor of the Advance desires to teach what lie does not wish his readers to believe. We have no reason to doubt he would have all men everywhere believe that a child, before it breathes, is a soulless thing. This I take to be his teaching. And, now, my readers, allow me to call your attention to some matters pertaining to your editor’s ‘ doctrine: 1. If a child has no soul pre vious to its birth, then there is nothing but animal life in it. If there be nothing more than ani- , mal life in it, where is the harm in distroying it ? Physicians may say that it is murder to kill a hu man embryo, a*l civilized nations may say so, and legislate accord ingly, but what are their opinions worth, if Col. Siffimons. be right? It takes a soul and body united ( to make a human being, and to kill anything else than a human , being is not murder. If Col. S. should attempt to con demn the destruction of the un born child, must he not do it on the sole ground that the parent might suffer injury? That the law of the land condemns it, is not of much service to him, be cause if he be right that law ought to be repealed; and, if it is not repealed, shall God call that mur der which men, because of their "■pitable ignorance, legislated to be such ? Suppose our editor were called on to prosecute an abortionist as a murderer, what would he do? Would he utterly falsify conscien tious convictions to gain a verdict? - Would he strive, for the sake of money or fame, to have a man hanged for killing what was not a human being ? 2. If an embryo has no scul, (hen its death is a double mercy. It is a mercy to the mother, who is saved from untold suffering by it. It is a mercy to the child, since, if it cames on the stage of action it will, most probably, suf fer no little in this life, and in the end sink in the ia, less night of ' doom. It follows then, that the jfliysi cian who can destroy the greatest j number of human germs, and do ! it without hart to the hearer of ' them, is not a monster of iniquity, but a benefactor of the first mag nitude. And just here lam moved to say to Col. S., if he can fully persuade a company of first-class ! Doctors that lie is right, and they I will followhis index,properly they | will not need to pursue their work i many years till they shall be able j to retire from practice with silver | robes on. 3. If the child, before birth, has i.no soul, and all can be persuaded Ito believe it, then the Seventh ! Commandment will be shorn of its restraining power to such an extent as the world has seldom , I seen this side of Sodom. Let all • believe it to be no crime to kill i the unseen print of sin, and every j city, it is likely, would rival Paris in one particular crime I Nor is i this all, where crime is not the . source of human reproduction, • the shrinking from pain, care and responsibility on the part of great i numbers, would forbid the bear ' ing of children among them. In one Yankee church, it is saiG, - rhere are one hundred and thirty- I five families without as much as | one child among them! Query: Have they read “war in heaven?” Now, I would ask the readers of the Advance if, in their judgment, a doctrine which leads to such results as these can be 1 true ? Is it not a doubtful doctrine I In closing this paper I will suppose a case which might occur at any time. A county court is in s»-ssiea; before that court a physician is arraingned as an abor tionist ; suppose Col. S. is there present. When tlu* case is called the culprit tells the judge he need have no witnesses, as he ; is ready to confess the deed or deeds al i leged against him. But he says, “may it j please your honor, I did not mean to com mit a crime, nor did I; tn e, I was aware ; that the law an! public opinion in ail civ ! ilwed countries hold the deed to be murder, i but I have receired, of late, what I re gard as a higher law, and a better light on this subject. I have read a wonderful tiook, anti heard its author in iwivate interviews |on the same subject; anti so conclusive have been his arguments that I have not the lea-t suspicion that a child is a human ‘ being Uli it has been boru*and breathes. And if your honor is not content with my ' statement, the author of the book to which ■ I refer ia present, and he is ready to as sume my defence. And I only beg, may , it please your honor, that you will h< ar • him through, as I know he will clear me if he has to show that all law upon this point, from the beginning of time to- the present, has been wholly wrong, and if it takes him five years to do it. And one i word more, if yonr honor please, my noble advocate is a conspicuous member of a re ligious be dy, and is, therefore, entitled to , the more attention. ” C< 1. 8. rises in the defence the curtain drops. Rambler. PROF. AGASSIZ’S THEORY. What, now, is the doctrine ; which Prof. Agassiz begins to attack, in his ninth lecture, and what is the doctrine which he would propose as a substitute ? i The doctrine which he attacks is , simply this—that ad organic be ; ings have come into existence through some natural process : of causation; and the doctrine ■ which he defends is just this — ; that all organic beings, as classed in species, have come aito exis tence at the outset by means of ; some act of which our ordinary ■ notions of cause and effect can give no account whatever. For every one Os the individauls of which a species is made up, he . Wxll admit tlje adequacy of the ; ordinary process of generation; . but for the species as a whole, i this process seems to him inade -1 quate, and he flies at once to that refuge of inconsequent and t'.mid , minds — miracle ? [ This is really just what Prof. Agassiz's theory of the origin of . specific forms amounts to, and . this is the reason why, in spite of grave heresy on minor points, he is now regarded by the evan , gelical Chiirch as one of its chief . champions.. Instead of the natu ral process of generation which is the only process by which we have ever known or ganic beings to be produced- - , he would fain set up some un known mysterious process, the nature of which he is careful not to define, but for which he endea vors to persuade us that we have i a fair equivalent in sonorous phrases concerning “ creative > will,” “free action of an intelli- ■ gent mind,” and so on. In thus postponing considerations of pure science to considerations of natu ral theology, I have no doubt Prof. Agassiz is actuated by a praiseworthy desire to do some- , tiling for die glory of that Pow er of whivft uni verse is the perpetual but over- • changing manifestation. But how futile is such an attempt at this! How contrary to common-sense ■ it is to say that a species is pro duced, not by the action of blind natural forces, but by an intelli gent will! For, although this most ( prominent of all facts setm to ■ be oftenest overlooked by theo logians aud others whom it most especially concerns, we are all the time, day by day and year by year, in eafh aud every event of our lives, having experience of the workings of that Divine Power which, whether we attrib ute to it “intelligent will” or not is unquestionably the one ac- , tive agent in all the dynamic phenomena of Nature. — Little as we know of the intrin sic nature of this Omnipresent Power, which, in our poor human ■ talk, we call God, we do at least know, by daily and hourly expe rience, what is the character of its working. The whole experi ence of our lives teach us that this Power works after a method which, in ou» scholastic expres sion, we call the method of cause and effect, or the method of natu ral law. Traditions of a barba rous and mAjultivated age, in which mere grotesque associa tions of thoughts were mistaken for facts, havie told us that this Power has, at various times in the i past, worked in a different way— causing effects to appear without; cognizable antecedents, even as j Aladdin’s palace rose in all its ( j wondrous magnificence, without I sound of carpenter’s hammer or ' | mason’s chisel, in a single night, j ■ But about such modes of divine ' i: action we know nothing whatev- j er from experience; and the awa- • | kening of literary criticism, in ; modern times, has taught us to ; | distrust all such accounts of di vine action which conflict with the lessons *fe learn from what* ■ is ever going on round about us. So far as we know aught concern- Img the works of God. which are : being performed in us, through us. and around us, during every j moment of that conscious intelli-1 j gence which enables us to bear i witness to them, we know they I are works from which the essen- ’ tial relation of a given effect to | its adequate cause is never ab-1 sent. And for this reason, if we view the matter in pure accor- ! dance with experience, we are led to maintain that the antago nism or contrariety which seems to exist in Prof. Agassiz’s mind between the action of God and the action of natural forces is nothing but a figment of th it an cestral imagination from whi-h the lessons which shaped Prof. Agassiz’s ways of thinking weie derived. So far as experience can tell us anything, it tells us that divine action is the action of natural forces; for, if we re fuse to accept this conclusion, what have we to do but retreat to the confession that we have no experience of divine action what ever, and that the works of God have been made manifest only to those who lived in that unknown time when Aladdin’s palaces were built, and when species were ere ated in a single night, without the intervention of any natural process?-7Vo/’.

They are a mil** aperient, and an excellent purgative. . Being purely vege tab1 ®' they contain no mercury or mine kwOr ral whatever. Much serious sickness and suffering is prevent ed by their tiniel.v use; and every family should have them on lutitd for their protection and relief, when required. Long experience has proved them to be the ?af est, surest, and best of all the Pillt with which the market abounds. By their occasional use, the blood is purified, the corruptions of the srs tem expelled, obstructions removed, and the whole machinery of life restored to its healthy activity. Internal organs which become clogged, and sluggish are cleansed by Ayer’t Pillt, and: stimulated into action. Thus incipient disease is changed into healtr. the value of which change, when reckoned on the vast multitudes who enjoy it, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coating makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their virtues unimpaired for any length of time, so that they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable. Although searching, they are mild, and operate without disturbance to the constitution, or diet, or occupation. Full directions are given on the wrapper to each box, how to use them as a Family Physic, and for the following complaints, which these Pillt rapidly cure For ISyapepaia or ffadigeation, Uatloaa hcm, laniruor and X<om of Appetite, they should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom ach, and restore its heal by tone and action. For Liver Cemplaiat and its various symp toms, Bilious Headache, Siek Head ache, JTanndice or Creen Siekneae, Bil ious Colic and Bilious Fevers, they should be judiciously taken for each case correct the diseased action or remove the obstructions which cause it. For Byaentery or Wiarrhoea, but one mild dose is generally required. For Rheumatism. Clout, Gravel, Pal pitation of the Heart, Pain in the hide, Back and Satina, they should be contin uously taken, as required, to change the diseased action of the system. With such change those complaints disappear. For Bropay and Dropsical Fuellings, they should be taken in large nnd MMent doses to produce the effect of a drastic purge. For Suppression, a large dose should be taken, as it produces the desired effect by sym pathy. As a Dinner Pitt, take one or two Pills to promote digestion and relieve the stomach. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels, restores the appetite, and invigorates the system. Hence it is often advantageous where no serious derangement exists. One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a dose of these Pillt makes him feel decidedly better, from their cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive apparatus.
