But it is not so with human being*. A human ruin can be repaired, strengthened, restored, though a brown leaf or a withered blade of grass can never be made green again. In tbs autumn of life, or even in its winter, when nature seems to be giving way under the pressure of years, it is still possible to retard tbo progress of decay, and io lend to tge more than its wonted vigor. As a means of pro moting this object, Hoetetter's Stomach Bitten is unquestionably tbo moat potent of all reatorativee. It will not mako the old young, but it wiU prevent, lessen, or sooth the infirmities which aro the usual acoompsniments of tho decline of life. For debil- ty and a lack of norvoue power, from whatever cause arising, it is the medicine that of all other* before tbo world, beet deserves tho name of a spe cific. In parity, in invigorating properties, in its adaptation to west stomachs and feeble organiza tions, it has no competitor among the tonics of the pliarmacopo-ia, nor among proprietory remedies. Besides it strengthening principle, it poMUfloa alter* stive and regulating properties of the highest order, and as anti-bilious medicine is far preferable to any of the preparations containing mercury. Time has shown that for physical decay, nervous debility, dyspepsia, bilious disorders, and intermittent fever, Hoetetter’s Hitters is a remedy without a rival. This is tho season of the fail of the leaf; let it remind tho old, the feeble, the sickly, to invigorate and reg- ulato their systems with this great vegetable tonic and alterative. been sentenced to twenty yean in the peniten tiary.

The dedication services of tho First Street Methodist Church were conducted according to tbs programme published in our Sunday morning'* issue. At an early hour we were at the building, bnt ao immense was the congre gation that had assembled to witness the dedi cation and hear the discourse of the eloquent Divine, the Pastor of the Church, it was impas sible to procure a seat. The sermon was one of his moot masterly efforts, and having pro cured from Dr. Hieka the original draft, we publish it in full, to the exclusion of all other matter,- believing it will prove more interest ing to the majority of our readers than ordi nary city new*. After the sermon had been oooeluded, the Pastor announced that $3000 were still wanting to place the Church out of debt, and a collection having been taken, the amount was easily nixed. To speak of Dr. Hicks' eloquence were a superfluity, as the ser mon speaks for itself. D&GDCBSZ DELIVEBZB BY BET. W3C. Y1TKW HICKS, D.

Our energies have been severely taxed for weeks, in preparing for this {lorioos occasion, and our hearts are lull of re- igioos gratitude, and our mouths of praise to God. The desire of our eyes is before us to day, and we have reached a point in our efforts where we can rejoice together in the eontem- plation of a finished work. Truly, “What iath God wrought?” Truly, “ What shall we render unto the Lord for all His benefits 1 This is a sort of “house warming,” and our numerous friends and neighbors have dropped in to bid ns good cheer and lend their friendly voices to our chorus and song, and pledge us in a new covenant of fidelity and service.

Let each one pra/tbattbis young church may prove a noble standard-bearer, a social and moral bulwark, a bright and in creasing light! Aa we are about to launch forth (as I trust) upon a career of enlarged usefulness for our hope and guidance through the future, let us press upon our warm hearta a few of the les sons of the past, and seek to strengthen our selves in all holy purposes by studying the ex amples of onr ancient brethren. There was something peculiarly affecting and mysteriously grand in Hebrew patriotism. It was a part of their religion, or rather the off spring of their religion. The dealings of the Almighty were not apart from, but interwoven with, national progress and events, and so in spired and impressed every son and daughter of Israel. .Religion was public, and publio polity was religious. Nothing was personal; everything touched and addressed all. Politi cal institutions were intensely religious—-relig ion was national. All their joys and festivities partook of this national character. The na tion was a family or community of blood ties. When one had cause of triumph, all rejoiced. When calamity befell one house all mourned. And everything was sacred. They were tho chosen of God. He established them, gave And grand. Charity is called Queen. Fidelity is King. These, too, occupy the throne of vir tuous achievement in an eternal unity. Fideli ty ! Ah, it creates the idea of a world of forces ready for any trial—invulnerable defense of honest souls; or, a sleepless chieftain, on the watch for any arduous task of duty—quick, unerring, omnipotent! But who can follow or describe it, when roused and fired by sore trial, or determined opposition! Then the sleeping lion shakes himself and trembles the world! Then the almightiness of faith's grip is seen. When Jerusalem is in rains; when the citi- *en of this spiritual capitol is in captivity to adversity and temptation and trial; where euo- mlee deride and taunt—“aha, aha;" when they who have sought to destroy the last vestige of hope “demand .a-song” for their profane de light; when the braised heart has confided to the pitying willows its stringless harp, and only the memory of yore remains. If amid these evidences of abandonment and woe, the faith ful soul exclaims in fixed, fervent constancy of of purpose and of love, “If I forget thee, O, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cun them laws in minutest detail, famili&r.’Zod them with His name and authority by means of the oomxnon things of life. Everything bore tho stamp of God, and nothing was done, suffered or enjoyed, that did not more and more reveal His presence with, and love for them. So when exiled from home, nothing could tempt them to forget the souroe and instrument of their peace and happiness. They were too brave and proud to insult the judgments of Jehovah by unhal lowed commerce with the profane. Their very afflictions all the more deeply engraved the memory of mercy and grace on their hearts. Listen to their repinings when in bitter cap tivity ! They take on the form and breathe the apirit of devotional chants—with interludes of flowing tears and throbbing hearts. No beauty of nature, no combination of art, no lavish at tentions, whether from sympathy or oondeecen- sion—could change the nature or interrupt the measure of their sublime devotion.

I shall always connect the Israelite with the first and mighty evory f one* I "stiff read' and'sco the* tat prefer- onco of the Divine heart—the first peculiar ob ject of Divine goodness. I can only think of them as In a long captivity, patiently and weep- folly chanting their undying hopes on the river banks of time beneath tho drooping willows, through whose branches, as in the olden time through the tracery of the sacrod place, streams the glory of the Lord. And, with my deep prayer and quickened sympathy for them, I shall always join my hope that yet again they may take down from tho bending willows, their long silent harps, and with holy rapture, aing. ing and harping, return to tho Holy City, and dwell forever in the exceeding glory of the Lord! I hopa for this in Jeans of Nazareth— the God man, the Christ of humanity, “to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile.” My brethren, 1 present yon in my text to-day _ national picture of faith, alive and strong amid ruins! Though captive, still a conqueror; though weeping, still triumphant; though under the willows, not dead nor craven. We do not see here the exhibition of snllen- ss, but the triumph of devotion. Not a morose, stubborn bate, bnt a deep, fixed royal tenderness of thought, and eacredncss of feel - ing. It is indeed a sublime picture. Sublime in its depths of humiliation; in its heroic faith; in its sturdy patriotism; in its tender, woepful devotion. To take it all in, one must view and estimate it from its own standing points of observation; snd thus viewed, no profane thought would snliy one’s contemplation. It is the Church of the liviug God in exile. That Church which Ho had established in the earth as a branch of Heaven, to reflect His excellence and show forth Hia praise, in which His power was wondrousiy displayed, and through His will was made known to all mankind. Now in darkness and captivity; her altars desecrated and demolished by vile hands; her magnificent Temple razed to the earth and in confused ruins; her Priests driven from the sacred por tals; her glory eclipsed in the most terrible gloom; and her agonized Prophoto dumb with awe, wept their silent ways! Behold, my brethren, the saddest and most mysterious Providence! Where is the Lord, that Hie chosen people are thus torn and scattered? Where reposes the right arm of Jehovah, that the prostrate, exiled Church is no longer fonnd leaning on the arm of her beloved? Why this humiliation? Why ihi* banishment? Why this horrible torture of soul in a Strange coun try ? Oh! God, how long ? These reflections and a thousand like crowd upon ns as wo gaze with admiring sympa thy on that sad group under the willows along tho banks of Euphrates. But onr questions are presently answered. The music ol faith in mourning is as touching in its pathos as it is ditch. It .« iumiue * Dwi. w £ —— - very pause* sob with an eloquenoe divine. Here it is beard. They do not aing! How can they sing? The cruel captors require a song from the broken in heart. Who ever heard a song in such a night! They lilt their sad eyes up among the gentle waving boughs and greet their silent, stringless hups with floods of tears! Listen! They can not aing to gratify their enemies; bnt they talk with the dumb in struments, the sweet voiced companions of hap pier days at home, far away; and they say “How shall we aing the Lord’saong in a strange land?” “But our devotion is not less constant and trno. Our hearts do thread; our copious tears, when we remember Zion, do make holy notes of love and faithfulness upon the secret strings of the spiritual harp!’’ And then, oh, incomparable utterance! “If I forget thee, oh, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her conning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my month; if I ——I J.maat.m above mv chief iov!” prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy Time end distance have not disenchanted this wonderful threnody! More hoary than the reeds and gray osier willows on which their harps hung silent; mellowed only by the influ ence of time, this heroic Hebrew strain has rolled down through the centuries, warming, melting and seasoning humanity—time’s grand gulf stream! And now, my brethren, let us, on this our liberty dty, sweetly learn a lesson. In time of peace, prepare for war, isa human forethought. In time of prosperity learn the enricnlnm of adversity. Many lessons are taught by this sublime scene, but I have chosen it tot only one. It is thie—fidelity, religion* fidelity. After this comes reward, deliverance, higher and more glorions triumph, which we shall see. Jly brethren, the history of Infinite goodness toward man has a negative side—at least so it appe ars to us. The Divine Father acjiieves His gracious purposes by opposite, not to say oppos ing processes. Oar highest happiness consists in devotion to Him, and that devotion consists in the devout employment of all our powers, and the proper exercise ol the religious facul ties. Now, these faculties and powers are best employed, or appear to best advantage when opposed. Antagonism ii the law of progress. Truthfulness is always beautiful, but it is heroic and attains unto grandeur when it is maintained against odds. Virtue is always great, but it at tains sublimity ana is awful in majesty, when it remains invincible under sere trial. Then it transcends the poet’s erthe printer’s art, and wo lo3e the conception in a glory far transcending innocence in all its just and perfect beauty. Bo I affirm also of this King of principles— Fidelity! The word itself projects upon us, and we recognize a massiveness both rugged mug! it presents a picture and a reality of fidelity unutterably sublime, and ia, in itself, a compensation, foil and adequate for all tho painfol process of its development! Itvindi- catea itself. It returns commensurate blessing to its author, and to its owner. This, my brethren, is God’s voice in the dust! This is the grand uttornnoo of a faith which to always great; but whose mighty grasp ia felt in all its self-contained divinity, in the boundless world of woe and darkness! It ia the one fire on the altar of the soul which cannot be smothered; the one firms whose ardor can not be quenched; the one condition of suocess and triumph which cannot be removed. Oh! it strengthens in the storm like someforestgiant which bends from above, but strikes its anchor ing roots deep and deeper into (he foundations of stability. Now, this principle of fidelity is universally at home. I mean that no change of place or circumstance can alter its natnro or its exhibi - tion. It finds anchorage in aU the world, and holds the Christian—the true character—in the light, (bat all may see, love and fear. Not that all conditions and situations are received alike, and alikemske impressions. Bat that in all uud through all this principle holds its nndeviating coarse. Fidelity to trath and honor conquers thejrcrld. He who, deep in his soul founds hia purpose ‘zarnQtpjTftjnite a'grave boau-mo life) cau afford to hang mS harp upon the willows, and deny to a taunting heathen the tnbato of a song; and by his fidelity to the truth will walk a path in which his enemies cannot follow him. High above the hopes of men, ho lives in the realization of honor. Far beyond the reach of real injury, he reposes on the conch of peace. And though, humanly speaking, he may sit beneath the willows and have no heart to smite with fingers taught to invoke from harpstrings the suit and holy music of ostensi ble devotion; yet in the secure temple of hia soul, over which, in “strange” captivity, no willow (emblem of his humiliation) shall over cast itosbadow; I say, iu the secure and glorious temple of the soul, in strains of living, immortal rapture, musio is made; music that will chain to silence an angel’s harp, and hold the oar of Deity! This was the characteristic feature and power of the ancient Hebrew. He never forgot Jeru salem. He never failed to face tho temple in his heart and worship. He never compounded with country, race, custom or circumstance, ro. lievehimof tho obligation of hia faith. The altar to the God of his fathors was erected in his heart. All else might be destroyed; temple,government, service and ritnal; tiU he was true; and on the banks of foreign streams he ponred his salt tears and sent them forth out of tho land of captivity that they might minglo with the friendly waters of tho sea that washed and kissed his own be loved shores; and he is heard to repeat his faith and challenge maledictions of oternal power if, in a single fugitive thought anything different should find a home in his soul! Christians, is here a lesson for us ? Do wo, in admiration of such devotion, sufficient! j real ize its sacred mission to our souls ? Does it teach ns a great principle? Most true! and much more! It shows us how it works. It re veals the secret of its operation as well as the incomparable tenacity of its nature. What then ? Just this! The Chnrchof Jesus Christ is the world’s Jerusalem. Yours and mine; oura and aU mankind's. We, my brethren, have a glory to defend, a devotion to show, a principle to vindicate, a fidelity to exhibit! We, too, should be able to say of onr Jerusalem, “If I forget thee let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth.” Our Zion must bo the crown of onr rejoicing, and answer enr loDgings by her attractions and wor ship. Shall the Hebrew show greater fidelity to the dear mother of hia hopes which are but. dimly held oat to him in types and shadows and figures, “in which were offered both gift end sacrifices, that could not make him perfect that did the services according to conscience;” shall he who stands in the shadowy light of a morning yet to dawn, teach and excel in fidelity him who embracing Christ “who offered living God”—“comes with boldness to the throne of grace, obtains mercy and find3 grace to help in time of need?” No, a thousand times no I We should ho master* in fidelity, since we live nnder the meridian glory of gos pel power! Instances of deviation and defec tion should be as rare in onr lines as discord in the continuous round of the material universe! Possessed of on experimental knowledge of Christ, we should and must lead tho world in Hi3 praises, and exhibit His majesty in onr simplest lives. His church should be ever on oar hearts, and onr fidelity to her claims, her purity, her doctrines, and hor defense should defy the powers of evil arrayed against her. It remains, my brethren, to consider, more sarticnlarly, the object and scope of this fidei- ty. It should have inspect to all the holy ways of the Church, but I may mention a few par ticulars which stand out prominently and com- prehensively: Authority, Doctrine, Worship. These aro the mighty words of the Ktogdom of Jesus Christ. We are not advocating, in the name of the church institution, infallibility, but authority, to which every Christian has covenanted allegiance. Authority as a captain who gives tho word of command to his ready hosts. Authority as a father who discloses his will to lii3 children. Authority as n teacher who asserts and uufolds the imperative truth of God. Authority as a guide, whoso directions are “This is the way, walk ye in it.” Authority as the sole keeper of a refuge to whoso shelter- ing arms the poor, the outcast, and the storm- beaten are commanded to hasten. In whose divine sacraments the weak find strength, the poor find abundance, and the guilty Jnd peaco and pnrity. In whose holy promises and coun sels, the despairing find hope, and whoso heavenly influence reaches to all extremes and makes the land of captivity a garden of delight. For within the Cirareh of God are tho monntaln of safoty, the stronghold of protection, the cities of refnge; here break forth the streams in the desert of which the prophet speaks, and here the sources of all comfort and graco are fonnd, as established of God in the everlasting ago. But this fidelity most respect doctrine. The revealed doctrines of salvation, which are the holy lessons of the kingdom of Christ, are to be faithfully believed, holily realized, constantly defended. Believed in the heart, exemplified in (he life, and defended in tho aotivo charities and zealous advocacy of truth. But truth in doctrinala will be variously assailed. Its em blems may be brought into disgrace. Its tom- lies may be desecrated. Its high behests may >e challenged. Other plans of escape from sin and eternal death, may be set forth, and blind leaders of the blind may pretend to bridge the " ' Sztsa n u'& ■ Tho Christian must fast the oracles of God. He is set for the defense of the gospel. He will bind himself to the pillars of truth. He will all the more ex hibit its excellence and vindicate its claims in his holy life. These are the brave words: Jetxu Christ and Bim crucified. Justification through faith. Sanotification through the eternal Spirit. The genuineness, authenticity, infallibility and preciousness of the Word of God—the sacred Scripture. The resurrection from the dead by the power of Josus Christ, “forever with the Lord.” These will become all the dearer to him as the bitterness with which they are assailed increase. What a fitness for defense! What an armory, and ob, wbat exhanstless munitions of war! Christian, on the Rock of Ages founded, you will defy all vain and empty boasts, and, faith ful to the doetrinos of the cross, you will lift it higher still, on—beyond, and higher yet be fore tho gaze of meD, all dripping with attoning blood, or radiant with tho glory of the Lord 1 Tlie stored proofs of the doctrines of salvation by Christ Jeans are unapproachable. Men pretend to assail them, and I suppose they do after their best wisdom. Poor, weak, uncer tain feelers in the dark essay to ignore their existence or deny their power. Oh! my brethren, it were gross folly to chide the blind, because lie dentes the exist ence of light. Tain reason’s powers are great I have no disposition to undervalue them, and they must continue development; but when the human mind hes reached the summity of its greatness; when reason, old and gray, and rich and wise, slowly crawls up the Nebo of Its most perfect vision, it will be only to die, 'strnck dead, beneath the mightier revelations of Divine power and grace in Christ Jesus the Lord. Aye, revelations which the loftiest and swiftest perceptions never so much aa dreamed of discovering, but which to tho faithful and humblest of Ocd, in the doctrine of the are known and enjoyed. Men say “the Church must fall.” Down with the Church! Her doctrines must bo superceded. Her authority must be denied. Her worship must be abol ished. “Christianity ia a failure.” COh God, may we aU be such failures, evermore, amen.) Are! Satan hath certainly said so! Tho wicked heart of sin hath steadily so declared. The vain philosophies of men have always ut tered like imbecile ravings! But, my breth ren, let the truth bo trusted; let the doctrines of salvation by faith in Christ be preached well and truly: and Do you see this cringing flower. I will tear it to pieces. . I will hurl its flakes of dehcalo leaves at your heads. See how they fly from person to person, and tho space is filled with the graceful flutter of their fimbriate wings. When I may expect to batter out yonr brains, with rose leaves, the enemies of the Church of Christ may hope to raze her fair and vital proportions to the dnst. by their equally airy and fantastic attempts! Are the doctrines of Christ unap proachable? Truly so! They are spirit and they are life! They become incorporate in man, and penetrate his soul and life! Through them the blind see; end can any man take away the light ? Through them the lame walk; can any man prove walking a delusion ? Through them bad men are made good men; weak men are made strong; who can overthrow the proofs ? Jeans is an imposter, said the unbelieving Pharisees to the man who was bom blind, bnt whose eyes onr Lord opened. “ An impostor ?” “Impossible.” “No.” “Yes—perhaps—ah! surely yon must know, for you are wise men.' But men and brethren tell me thi^: How conld an impostor open my eyes? “Blessed impos tor, more blessed imposition!” “Ah! I have it: call truth falsehood ; call the power of God the genius of Beelzebub; call blindness seeing; call saving grace the exercise of human will to the powers and infinities of human nature: and then I have it! No matter. One thing is sure, one thing is positive, one thing I know / I went blind, I came seeing. I, who was blind, noic see.” Brethren combat the proofs os you will. Reason against it; say that snch a thing is un natural, unreasonable, impossible; what then ? “Ho from thick films will plunge the uautl ray And on the sightless eye-balls pour the day.” So it is to-day! Men deny the doctrines of Christ; they deny His divinity; they in sult His holy Name; they despise His sacraficial blood; and yet, before their eyes, in their closest circles, Ho is opening the eyes of the blind, and raising the dead! Through faith in His name the sorrowful are rejoiced; the weak are strengthened; the drunken are sobered; the nnclean are purified. Fidelity then to the doctrines of Christ and His church is tho high lesson of this golden hour. This my brethren, I repeat, is the Ie.-Hun of my text. Press it to your hearts. Write fidelity on your foreheads. Stand mam fnlly up for Jesus! Learn in yonr high exalta tion, the lesson of duty from those, onr ancient brethren, who were captives! Learn not to forget Zion. Make her your chief joy; bniid up her walls by your fidelity to her doctrines and worship, pave her hallowed streets with the beaten gold of yonr bTgaiftont Jive*. Lift her temple dome into Over all Be? JlS-vunr united labors in her love, deathless devotion, that the’ rr&geanse of your worship may captivate ongelio sense, and please Ihe honor of Jsbovah! Take down yonr long silent harps from the drooping willows, sweep over their stiffened strings your trembling fin gers ; strike boldly for a song, and so march on, and on, until, through clouds ascending, you transfer your grand harmonies to that glorious Temple not made with hands—eternal in tho heavens. And then in the thunder burst of corronation glory, in the grand finale of your songs of strife, captivity and hope, yon shall “Crown Him forever, crown Him Kieg of Kings; Crown Bim forever, crown Him Lord of Lords; Grown Him the glorious Conqueror cf Hell; Grown Him the everlasting Prince of Peace; Crown Him Jehovah, Jeeu, Lamb of God. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Amon!” And the tidal wave of rapture shall detnge the world.

It ia entirely fiee from any deleterious substance whatever; the ab sence of all tr&ce of lead, and of other poisonous or hurtful thing* in it is absolute. By di&tillatiou, I find its alcoholic strength to be exactly that of proof epirit* by the present United State* Law, viz: 50 parts by volume (measure) of absolute al cohol, 83.71 parts of water; by weight this corre spond* to alcohol 42K P er cent., and water 57X percent.

No alcoholic liquor can be purer than the sample of your “Century.” [Signed] B. SILLLMAN, State Chemist. Prof. C. U. SHEPARD, Jr., State Chemist of South Carolina, says. I have carefully investigated the sample of “Cen tury” Whisky sent by you for inspection, and pro nounce it to be free from adulteration, and a* such I can recommend it* use to the public. I have ex amined it for copper, lead, the alkaloid*, and other poisonous Bubatancca, but am happy to say I have round none of them.

Prof. JOHN DARBY, Editor of tho American Gro cer, New York, *ay*: We have received a sample of the “Century Whisky” for analysis- We have conducted the analysis with great care: tbero is uo trace of metal in it, and nothing that should not come from the fermentation and distillation of tho finest grains. The bouquet i* natural, depending upon a minnte quantity of volatile oil or ether. Wo have analyzed many Whiskies, and have never before met with one as strong us this; they are generally several de grees below the government standard, this is H.'ightly above. We are not a connoiseur in liquors, but if purity and strength are desirable qualities the “Century Whiskies” must stand pre-eminent. Dr. J. M. CABNOCHAN, Health Officer of tho Port of New York, says: I have tried the “Century” Whiskies and find them to be of very superior quality. I am happy to recommend them, as I believe them to be entirely free from deleterious or hurtful properties. The analysis of Frof. Silliman is sufficient proof of their great purity, and I believe that they will become very popular Whiskies wherever they are once used. [Signed] J. M. CABNOCHAN, M. D., Surgeon*in-Chief to State Emigrant Hospital, Health QfficorPort of New York, etc. Prof. TILDEN, of Washington, D. G., says: I have analyzed tho specimens of the “Century” Whisky sent to mo with request to that effect. I find no Fusel Oil and no trace of any deleterious mineral or metallic substance. Tho liquor presents no feature which does not belong to tho best Whiskies, while it offers some unusual points of excellence. Its color ia dark, owing to the preaonco of Caramol, which undoubtedly improves its tone; the taste is smooth and the bead good. The re markable strength of this Whisky, coupled with the unmistakable marks of age which aro to be per ceived, its freedom from harmful principles too of ten found in such liquors, and its natural bouquet, justify mein pronouncing it both for medicinal and domestic purposes a superior article.
