Over against every truth of God, ftar.ds n two-fold lie of Satan—a mocking lie, that as sails the truth to overthrow it—a fawning lie, that professes the tru'h to wrest and per vert it. Justas the artfi-Ohiist of Scripture is now, one. that sets himself in hostility to our Lord —His opponent; and now, one that thrusts liimstlf into the place r s our Loid— HU supplar.ter. In like manner, for every truth there is a lie that blaspheme- 1 , and a lie that (falsely) worships; the former, throwing off allegiance to the truth, and fighting agtinei it, and seeking to crush it cut; the latter, clothing itself ill the garments ot the truth, asking to he accepted as its substitute, and striving after the tealty due to it. No truth of God is known to us in its ful ness, until wc know, as well, the two (oldness of the He that stands over against it—the lie that eounterwoi-J-*, and the lie that conntci ftiti It. Unless both arr distinctly tecog niated, the rteoil from the one may bear us over to the other, trampling the tiutli in the dost —the mire, perchance. We fly from ti e He of opposition, and fall into the lie of imi tation ; or, shrinking from the lie of imita tion, our feet take no pause and are entan gled in the lie of opposition. To see the truth, then, in its contrariety alike to the one and the other— that alone is to have an in telligent view of it, and to be secure, on tiie right band against the assaults of the mock ing, and on the left against the seductions ol the fawning lie.— South li 'ext Baptist.

It was further shown that a few days before his death, Mr. 11 met with a serious accident at Mr. Brown’s store, in this city, by an accidental fall in the cellar. It war then shown by medical men, suriaiued by medical authority, that) this fall, although not the prime cause of the dtath of Mr. 11., yet it hastened it and directly coutiibuting to that re sult.
