in the Evening.
All d.-.v the wind hud howled along the leas.
All day the wind had swept across the plain,
AU day on iustling grass and waving t)ees ,
Had’ fallen “the useful trouble of the rain.
All dav beneath the low-hung dreary sky,
The dripping cat th had cowered sullenly.
At last the wind hnd sobbed itself forest,
At last to weary calmness sank the storm,
A eriimon line gleamed sudden in the west,
Where golden flecks rose wavering into iorm ;
A hushed revival heralded the night,
And with the evening-time awoke the light.
The rosy color flushed along gray waves ;
The rosv color tinged the mountain’s brow ;
And where theold church wat< bed the village graves
Wooed to a passing blush the yew tree s frown.
Bird, beast and dower relenting nature knew,
And one juilo «tur rose Hhhninvrihg iu the blue.
So, to ft life long crushed In heavy grief,
So, to a path long darkened by despair,
The slow, sad hour bring touches of relief,
Whi'pcrs of hop*' nnd strength of trustful prayer.
’•Tarry His leisure,” tied of love and might.
Ami with the evening-time there will be light.

The United States Senate, it seems refuses
to have anything to do with the proposed cen
tennial celebration in 1876, at Philadelphia. It
refuses to make an appropriation of money for
the purpose.
It seems that the Carlist rebellion in Spain
is regaining life and vigor. The Government
troops met with a serious defeat last week in a
general battle, and several important interior
points have been captured by the insurgents.
Rev. John Bachman, D.D.,a distingushed
Lutheran divine, of Charleston, South Caro
lina, died in that city, recently, aged eighty
five years. He was the author of standard
works on Natural Science, and an intimate
friend of Humboldt and Audubon.
An attempt was made last week, by a villain
of unspeakable depravity, to burn a public
school house in Rochester, New York, while
three hundred children were in the upper
stories. The terrible attempt, however, was
discovered before much damage had been done.
The statistics prove that sixty thousand con
firmed drunkards die annually in the United
States. What a fearful record of destitution,
misery and crime this little item alone has the
power of exhibiting to the reflecting mind ! It
is also terrible to contemplate that all of this
destitution, misery and crime, is steadily upon
the increase among our people. Nothing but
united, systematic and unflinching efforts on
the part of influential men and women can
retard or stop the progress of our National
Curse.
A Moral Cyclone.—Henry Ward Beecher,
in a recent sermon, in alluding to the move
ment of the women in the Western and Middle
States to suppress the sale of whisky, said “his
tory would not show ti parallel to the effort now
making in the West to suppress dram drink
ing, which he characterized as the scourge of
the household. It is an evil that has defied
legislation ; but now, under the Providence of
God, there has risen a moral cyclone, a perfect
tempest of influence.”
Benjamin Disraeli,who, recently, and for
the second time, has been honored with the
Premiership of England, is of Jewish extrac
tion, and was born in London in 1805. He
distinguished himself at an early age as a bril
liant writer, and in spite of his Jewish blood,
plebianism, and queer personal characteristics,
pushed his way through Parliament by the
force of genius. Since 1837 he has been a
power in the land, and again holding the reins
of government with a firm hand, this remarka
ble man will undoubtedly achieve still more
and greater triumphs in his full-repened years
than he did in his younger days.

The Southern Christian. Advocate, the organ
of the Methodists of Georgia, alluding to the
crusade against intemperance, inaugurated by
the women of the Western and Middle States,
dots not approve of the method they are pursu
ing to accomplish their purpose, as it is “a
profane and unwarrantable perversion of sacred
things,” but approves the zeal of these ladies,
and commends it to the imitation of its female
readers, “as it is sadly needed among us, and
would go far toward cheeking an evil which is
crowding with countless woes, the lives of
multitudes of mothers, wives and sisters, in our
land.”
It seems the ladies of the West, in determin
ing to “work as well as pray,” are not inclined
to put too fine a point upon the matter, and to
battle effectually with the unclean monster,
have left kid gloves, jier fumed handkerchiefs,
and parlor manners at home, until the war is
over.
The Centennial Exposition, or Festival, in
honor of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the
birth of this Republic, to be held in Philadel- j
phia, will lx* but a small affair after all, unless
its financial basis is made more solid than |
present prospects seem to make it.
Massachusetts, and several other of the
Northern States, have refused to give it official
recognition or patronage, and Congress does
not seem willing to grant the five million del- :
lara, which parties interested in the projtc. '
have asked for.
Neither does the project for a Centennial i
seem to receive any active favor from foreign |
powers. Russia has officially declined to on- .
tribute articles for exhibition.
It is claimed that the project is a huge spec
ulation ; a play upon the much-vexed harp
strings of Yankee patriotism for the pecuniary
profit of a “ring” of speculators, and a festival
of little merit considered from a natknal, all
embracing stand-point.

those we know not of.”

the saloons to make a personal appeal to
the proprietor to see how the medicine works.

The Baltimore Gazette has the following
suggestive little paragraph about St. Augus
tine :
Formerly there was no quainter, sleepier,
more old-fasnioned city on tins continent than
St. Augustine, Florida. The chances that it
would ever awaken from its slumbers were too
remote for calculation. The inhabitants ap
peared to be contented, and assuredly the grati
fied tourist was, with the indolent, picturesque
old town. Florida has become, however, a 1
great resort for Northern invalids, and the un
avoidable Yankee has prospected and settled in
St. Augustine, and theold land-marks are one
by one vanishing. New Yorkers are building
fine houses there, with modern green shutters,
bright roofs and plate glass. Many of these i
residences belong to wealthy men like Henry ,
Ball, of Ball de Black, and Mr. Aspinwall, and i
cost over thirty thousand dollars. St. Augus- '
tine, therefore, will soon be entirely changed, !
and will be a fashionable resort Irom the bleak- I
ness of Northern winters.

ORGAN of tie BAPTIST DENOMINATION.
SPLENDID PREMIUMS.
Anxious to have The Index diffused through every section—enter every family circle—until the
entire territory of the paper in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, the Carolinas and Tennessee is fully and
satisfactorily occupied, we open the work of the year 1874, with arrangements which we trust will
meet the approbation of the friends of the paper. The circulation of The Index is short of
the expectations of its friends, and does not justify the heavy cash outlay at present made by the
Proprietors in its publication. We, however, intend that the prosecution of the mission shall be con
tinued fully up to our highest ability—making the paper all that the Denomination desires it to be—
iii the hope that the effort will be liberally seconded by the intelligent and earnest Baptist people
of the country. We not only purpose that the various departments of the paper shall be edited
with increased care and power, but that its columns shall be enriched by able pens from other new
and important centres. The aid, therefore, of Ministers in every part of our field is desired, to
canvass their respective congregations for NEW SUBSCRIBERS.
If the friends of the paper will thus generally respond, the territory can be more quickly and
effectually occupied than by any other means. There are brethren in every community who can
secure with little effort clubs of from ten to one hundred names—no one who cannot get from one
to five. the paper have the support oi*all promptly and that sup
port extended with liberal bands and prayerful hearts—to the end that its circulation may be
materially increased, and enlarged benefit result to every interest of the Denomination. The paper
is needed in our homes, by our pastors, by our missionaries, by our schools. All know this; there
fore the active co-workers in the Master's vineyard are asked to co-operate with us in
the dissemination of The Index, with its wholesome, elevating and enlightening Baptist literature.
The attention of all is invited to the appended inducements, which our friends may use as they
desire.
