What men believed was defi nite, distinct, accurate, ami unmis takable; and were not filled with perhapsen. but with “yea mid verily and amen.” There was not one bit j of ooze or flabbiness about such men ; and the blows they struck j for truth, given with all the force of earnest faith and clear conviction, Hivuk Satan's throne. But in these days the land is flooded with books that are neither hot nor cold, which declare no clear beliefs or doubts, but are like “a landscape covered with mist,” as the la>h<Juu '/'bruts said of Dean Stanley’s theoiy of Christian union. “They contain a great many truths. ’ Oh yes: put in p. half-hearted way, in poetical lan guage, perhaps, and with great wealth of learning : but they contain , error* also which will be certain to ; do their deadly work in the soul. For, as Buskin s.iys, “Medicine often fails in its effect, but poison never.” The good seed often falls on bar ren ground and is choked by thorns, but the tares find no soil 100 barren, nor will the good seed root out the evil. The error will take effect rath- j er than the truth. Paine and Hume I nrc comparatively harmless beside these men of balt faith and half doubt, who are ‘‘liberal’’ and unwill ing to have their “individuality,” whatever that may be, “cramped by! creeds.” Would that men were cith ' er cold or hut? Would that they I either received Christ as the Divine ; Redeemer whom the Scripturts re veal, ur rejected him as an impostor I out enemies will not array them thus: they will continue to or their writings, sound here i- ?d unsound there, approving oim Lula and explaining away' another ’into ratified mist, io “deceive, if it ’.'•••re possible, the very elect ’’ It behooves us, therefore* to redouble our efforts to place before the people an abundance of wholesome litera ture, teaching the truth in its purity. In all the work in which we, as -a denomination, are engaged, there is none more important, none more needful or more urgent, none whose neglect will more surely destroy us, ‘The foolishness of preaching” alone excepted, than the work of our Pubs lication Society. If wc would have OHr children rightly trained, our preachers thoroughly furnished, and our people well grounded in the. truth, we must supply them with a literature saturated with these dis tinctive principles which arc ncccss wary to a true and complete evangel ism. And this grand work is to be done by the American Baptist Bubli cation Society. It is through this Society we must labor, building up and aiding it by every means in our power. Too long has this work been I left chiefly to one city, and especially to one noble family of God-fearing men and women, who, with a sublime devotion to (he truth, have borne, well nigh alone, the burden which God meant for the sturdy shoulders of two and a half million Baptists. It is time fur us to work, not simply bv making speeches and passing res olutions, but by, first, giving more liberally to the Missionary Depart ment, that the poor may be supplied with the truth, and those who arc in different may be induced tv read; and, second, we must buy this litera ture ourselves, talk about it, and per suade others to buy also. We need tv enlarge the operations of this So ciety that they may have more means to disseminate the literature that is written, and to employ the finest minds to write for them, that their j books may bo able, and more inter esting than those which teach error, and so may command attention by the talent shown in them, as well as deserve it by their faithfulness to truth. Every day the need for the works , of this Society grows more and more ■ imperative, as every day the daikj stream of error flows ever-widening, • from a thousand presses. Thu stream ' of pure water must rush forth on its cleansing way, rcsi.-tlcss in its God- . given strength: else we and our chil dren shall be swept away beneath ' the dark waves of pollution. 3 hia land is rapidly bceoming n vast lite-* rary stable, and l-lmre is Imt one Hi uiib's who driti,-<. li- the Baptist Publication Society. I And feeling this, feeling it more and more keenly every day, I have come to urge, with all the earnestness I can command, upon the Baptists assem bled in council, here, as I would urge. Baptists everywhere, to push forward this work with all possible endeavor counting no time, nor labor, nor money, wasted, which can help on , the evangelism of the word, by means of this literature. There is no rea son why all the Baptists of the laud should not join in this work. The , stream which flows now is but a narrow rill, compared to what it will be when the Baptists of America rally in their strength to this cause. God hasten the day, when it shall be as in the prophetic vision—up to the ankles —up to the loins- a great sea, which no man can cross' If we will do our duly with all our hearts, feeling in every fibre the importance of the truth, loathing with all our souls whatever is false, no matter how bril 1 Hunt, till we are like Paul in courage 1 . . * ■zeal; love, and dertermination that' i men s/utll be saved from sin ; with the Holy Sp’nit going before u-, na tions would be born in a day, light break out over all the worlds dark places, v.hence the foul shadows; would for ever flee away from a ptiri fi< d earth and a ransomed race, till | the Millennial Day dawn upon an I unbroken band of Baptists encircling the world.

Tis Ibis I once enjoyed, The sweets of early days ; Regarding vain and earthly toys, Which bloom to fade away. At length convinced of sin, The fruits thereof was death ; I saw no chance for me wherein. 1 might escape this wrath. I thought I would repent, And after mercy call : And often titnea bowed down I went. But could not pray at all. Alas: nay doom is lived; And how shall 1 do more : That awful gulf will lie betwixt. Which ne'er can he got o'er. I did sonic length of time, In this condition lie; When by degrees 1 felt resigned, And tears burst from my eyes. My soul was full of love, And praises to my God; I felt as if I'd soar above And leave this earthly clod. And now if I be saved, Through faith in his dear son ; ’Tis only by redeeming grace, For merits 1 have none. Had I ten thousand tongues, Free grace would lie their theme. Without free grace I am •undone, To all eternity’. I " M. T. Hoy. THEM THAT HONOR ME, I WILL HONOR. “That is right, my boy,” said the merchant, smiling approvingly upon the bright face of his little shop-boy. He had brought him a dollar that lay among the dust and paper of the sweepings. ‘That’s rigid,’ be said again ; ‘al ways be honest, is the best policy.’ ‘Should you say that ?’ asked the lad timidly. ‘Should I say what ? that honesty is the best policy ? Why, it’s a time honored old saying—l dou’t know about the elevating tendency of the thing—the spirit is rather narrow, I’ll allow.” ‘So grandmother taught me, re plied the boy ; ‘she said we must do 1 right because God approved it, witli ‘ out thinking what man would say.’ The merchant turned abruptly to wards the desk, and the thoughtful faced little lad resumed his duties, j In the course of the morning, a j rich and influential citizen called at' jibe store.

Kamp fur says : “They have their masters, indeed, but lie about the streets, and are very troublesome to passengers and travellers. Every street must, by special command of the Emperor, keep a certain number of these ani mals. and provide them with victu als. There arc huts built in every ' street, where they arc taken care of when they fall sick Those that die ; must be carried up to (ho tops of mountains and hills, as I ho usual bu rying places, and very decently in ' terred. No body may, under severe penalties, insult or abuse them ; and to kill them is a capital crime, what* ever mischief they do. This extras ordinary care for the preservation of the dog-kind, is the effect of a su , perstitious fancy of the now reigns ing empeior, who was born in the sign of the dog, (tho reader is des sired to take notice, that the dog is one of the twelve celestial signs of the Japanese,) and hath for this reason so great an esteem for this i animal, as the great Roman emperor, . Augustus Ctesar, is reported in his tories to have had for man. The na tives tell a pleasant story on this head. A Japanese, as he was carry j ing up the dead carcass of a dog to i the top of the mountain, in order to its burial, grew impatient, grumbled, I cursed the emperor’s birthday and ' whimsical commands. His com panion, though sensible of the jus tice of his complaints, bid him hold his tongue and be quiet, and instead ■ of cursing and swearing, return i thanks to the gods that the emperor ; was not born in the sign of the horse, ' t because, in that case, the load would ' have been much heavier.” 1 Honor thy father aud iriuthur; which ' is the coin Tn ami mem t with jirnm- 1 THE CHAINED FOX. A fox that bad been caught youn" ! was kept chained in a yard, and be came so tame that fowls and geese approached it without fear. “Bretty thing! ' said its mistress. “It docs no harm. It is cruel to keep it chained.” So she unbuckled its collar and let it run 'ibout. Scarcely, however, had she turned her back, than she heard a great clucking from her poultry. Looking around, she saw the fox scampering off with her plump, red pullet thrown over his shoulder. “You treacherous, ungrateful little villain cried the woman, “and I thought you v.ere so good.” “So I was, mistress,” answered the fox, as long as I was chained.” 'lTiei’e are many little foxes that need chaining. There is the “put off studying your lessons to the last minute” fox, that, urns off with your good marks at school ; M ister Rey nard “.-peaking v,itliout tl.inking, which is always getting its owner info trouble; and Slyboots “no body vi.l see you do it.” Chain them up!

That these organs can be kept free from disease, and at all times in condition to well and faithfully rerform their duties, is a mat ter beyond dispute, cavil or argument, and equally it is true, that a free use of Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, in connection with WARNER’S SAFE PILLS, will actually compel these same organs to perform their allotted functions, ami hence as a cleanser of (lie blood, and a preventive to yellow fever, we have no hesitation in offering it to the public.
