FritinU t« ff'rfat Ilrilain, Ireland
and elitichere.
DEAR 1'UIENDS.
We salute you in the love of
Christ, desiring that, under the
<iuickeuing influence of his Spirit,
our members everywhere may flutl
their rest in Him.
"Other foundation can no man
lay than that is laiil, which is Jesus
Christ" As perfect man and true
God, in Him is revealed a Redeemer,
able to stiller, omnipotent to save.
" 15y Him were all tilings created.''
" lti Him was life, and the life was
Ihe light of men." " In Him dwel
leth all the tnllness of tl'e Godhead
bodily." He is the example of nil
righteousness. He *' was in all
points tempted like as we are, yet
without sin." He it is who declared,
'• 1 am He that liveth ami was dead ;
and, hehold, I am alive lor ever-more."
Risen, ascended, and glori-fied,
He is "the Head overall tliiugs
to the Church;'' tho "great Higu
Priest that is passed into the
heavens.'" To Him the rather hath
given authority to execute judg-ment
also, because He is tho Sou
ot in,til.
In thus declaring our unwavering
allegiauce to our 1.. .id aud Re-deemer,
our hearts have been united
in a humbling sense of that which
we. owe to Him in his " great salva-tion."
Depraved and corrnptedio
the lull, the heart ol man is power-less
to cleanse itself. Peace with
God cannot lie known whilst sin
remains nuforgiveu ; and how shall
.-.in be purged, and the law remain
inviolate, without an atonement'
Nothing we can do can avail to
cancel past transgressions, "By
grace are ,vc saved, through faith."
• Cod commend) ih bis love toward
us, in that while we were yet sin
neis Christ died lor us." It has
pleased God to show forth the
riches of his mercy in that great
propitiation wherein his righteous-ness
and love are alike revealed,
- that He might be just, and the
justifier of bint which belicveth in
Jesus."
We desire ever to maintain the
doctrine concerning the Holy Ghost,
as unfolded by our Lord Jesus
Christ aud his Apostles. We ac-knowledge
no principle of spiritual
light, life, holiness inherent in man's
lallen nature, or springing out
of his unaided intellect. Ours
has ever been a testimony to the
power and work of the Holy Ghost,
who is one with the Father and
with the Son. Convincing of sin,
testifying of Jesus, instructing and
guiding in the way ol holiness ; the
teaching of the Spirit humbles man
before God, and brings to the ac-ceptance,
in living laith, of tin-glad
tidings of salvation through
our crucified Redeemer. None who
are truly taught of the Spirit can
dishonor the Lord Jesus, or in any
wise disesteem his sacrifice, medi-tation,
or intercession.
In'the firm hold of these funda-mental
t nn h«. and in their practical
application in the daily walk,
how strong is the bond which
joins together the faithful in
Christ Jesus. United in the rev-erent
and devout confession of "the
name ol the Father, and of '.he
Son, and ol the Holy Ghost," hav-ing
become " followers of God, as
dear children," they know the rock
to be underneath, their foundation
to be sure.
Rut let it never be forgotten, that
uo mere profession of the truth can
avail in the sight of God. The
words are of universal application,
" Ye must be bornagaiu." Knowl-edge
will but add to onr condem-nation,
unless we bo willing aud
obedient. Let us, then, scriously
exainiue ourselves. Have we ex-perienced
this mighty change t
Arc we walking iu the ' Spirit,
bringing tort h fruit unto holiness!
The true Christian is not of this
world. His life is a continual war
fare, calling for constant vigilance
agaiust the wiles of his unwearied
enemy. In the recollectiou that he
is not bis own, be will use diligence
to be a faithful steward, whether of
his substance, ot bis time, or of bis
opixiitnuities. He will watch both
agaiust tho inflner.ee of worldly
tare, nnd agaiust tho seductions of
luxury and case. His walk will
manifest the presence of Christ in
the soul. In his pursuits; in the
choice both of his reading and of
his companions; in his engage-ments,
whether iu the Church or
in the world, be will be governed
by an habitual reference to the will
of God, towards whom his heart
will turn with instincts of the re-newed
nature as the needle to the
pole.
We would again affectionately
press upon onr dear Friends the
duty and privilege of prayer. We
mourn over those who are depriving
themselves, of much blessing, iu not
more lieely yielding up their hearts
to communion with their Father iu
heaveu. Little prayer implies little
faith ; and with little laith there
can be but little love ; for this cause
we cannot but fear that many ure
in a state of spiritual sickness, and
that some eveu sleep. We would
entreat these not to allow their con-fessed
weakness to discourage them
from prayer: it ought rather to lie
an inducement to this blessed duty.
"Therefore," saith the prophet,
"will the Lord wait that He may
be gracious unto you." " The Spirit
helpeth our infirmities, for we know
not what we should pray for as we
ought." It is not the absence of his
heart tendering visitations, but our
own hesitancy or want of faith, that
we have to deplore. The broken
aud the contrite heart need not hold
back, now full is this promise,—
" Verily, verily, I say unto you
whatsoever ye shall ask the Father
in my name, He will give it yon."
Hay parents or heads of families bo
under no undue restraint in the ex-ercise
of this privilege before their
children or households. The quali-fication
for such services may differ
iu degree from that winch should be
waited tor on more public occasions.
The sense of uevii, of parental re-spousibility,
of the priceless value
of the souls eutiusted to our care,
may not only warrant, but require,
such acts of dedication on the part
of those who are not called to a
more public ministry : whilst onr
Countless blessings claim ihe tribnte
ol praise from thankful hearts. And
as regards more public occasions,
may those who meet lor worship
come together with praying hearts,
and in a child like spirit, willing to
yield to the gentle consti.lining in-fluences
that may tightly find ex-pression
in vocal supplication, tho'
it may be in words simple and few.
The deficiencies reported in the
attendance of meetings for worship
in the middle of the week, have
claimed our close attention. We
doubt not lhat many who absent
themselves from these meetings
would giadly attend them were it
not for the belief thai the nature ol
their business, and the close compe-tition
with which they have to con-tend,
require theirconstant presence
or oversight. We would affection-ately
invite these to remember how-explicit
is the injunction,." Seek ye
first the kingdom of God aud his
righteousness " Be on your guard
against an expenditure of time and
strength U|MIII the things of earth,
which leaves little lo be devoted to
the interests of the soul. Do your
utmost to make your midweek
meetings prior engagements to
which, except under very special
circumstances, all others must be
subject. Let parents consider how
prejudicial an influence it must have
upon the characters of theii chil-dren,
to train them np in the habit-ual
neglect of these meetings. In
connexion with this subject, we
have been brought into close sym-pathy
with members of very small
meetings, who find in them little
outward encouragement. Remem-ber,
dear Friends, that the true
worshippers meet not as isolated in-dividuals.
Gathered in the name
of Jesus through Him they "have
access by one Spirit unto the Fath-er,
as members of that spiritual
household which is but one, whether
on earth or in heaven.
Life from the Head must ever dis-tinguish
the living church. This
life prevails only in so far as the
members are themselves brought
through faith, into living relation
to Christ, and the life received from
Him freely circulates through the
whole body. In the. mutual inter-change
of sympathy and of service,
each may find his place; some in
the feeding of the flock ; others in
giving wise encouragement to the
youthful disciple, or in bringing the
little ones to Jesus; whilst others
may be called to proclaim the free
invitation of the Gospel to those
who are yet alai%iff. We rejoicu in
believing that many of our members
arc engaged, in love to Christ, in
one or other of these services. We
would affectionately remiud such
that the work of the Lord's house
must all have reference to Him, and
be under the regulating influence of
his Spirit; and that holiness be-couietb
every member of his house-hold.
We have received Epistles from
onr dear Friends in Ireland, and
from ten of the Yearly Meetings on
the American Continent, including
that of Kansas, held for the first
time in the autumn of last year.
They report a considerable accession
of numbers in some parts of Ameri-ca,
and give a cheering impression
of a zealous iuterest tor the advance
ineiit of the Retleemer's kingdom.
We continue warmly to sympathize
with onr American Friends in their
labours among the freedmen,and in
the responsible part which tlu-y have
been called upon to take in relation
to somo of the scattered remnants
of the Indian tribes.
In the solemn review of onr posi-tion
as a religious Society, we desire.
humbly to acknowledge the Lord's
long-suffering goodness, and that
our great need is au unreserved
submission to the converting and
sanctifying work of bis Holy Spirit
upou us. As this becomes our ex-perience,
there will bo more and
more of the practical recognition of
the manifoldness of the Christian
• life, amidst the difference of admin
istration in which that life is exhib
ited in the church. As the variety
in the outward world shews forth
the wisdom and goodness of God;
so, in the spiritual creation, the di-versity
of operations iu no wise in-teiferes
with that blessed harmony
which is known in the subjection of
each unto Christ. Where nereigns,
all uncharitableness is excluded.
His presence in the son! is manifest-ed
by meekness, gentleness and
love. " Rowels of mercies, kind
ness, humbleness of mind," are put
on ; and in the following of Jesus,
under the teaching and leadiug of
his Spirit, all are more and more
knit together in bis love. May we
press after this experience, accept
ing in its full significance, the salu-tation
of the Apostle, " Finally,
brethren, farewell. Re perfect; be
of good comfort; be of one mind;
live in (seace ; and the God of love
aud peace shall be with you."
Signed iu aud on behalf of the
Meeting, bv

■ A Celebrity.
Says the New Orleans 77MM .--
"Last mouth there died in the hos-pital
in St. Lenta, by whatever alias
she might then be known, who nsed
to be Stella del Norte. In the old
mining days, when California was
but a camp, aud the Golden City a
rude collection of wooden shanties,
the country was electrified to learn
one day that as the cashier of the
Rank of Califoruia was standing
alone in his vault, a woman opened
the door, and holding a pistol to his
head, demanded 810,000 in notes.
Feeling the cold muzzle of the pistol
in close proximity to his brow, he
very reluctantly consented, and the
vision left, and the next day he
received a very neat card, with the
written inscription, 'Thanks. Stella
del Norte.' She was afterwards ar-rested
by a vigilance committee,
dressed in man's attire, aud taken
out to be banged, was fonnd to be
a woman, when they released her,
aud raised a subscription of 91,000,
with which she left the country, aud
co..iing to the Slates was known
as a desperate Rhoplitter and sneak
thief."
McNider on Hotels.
McNider, the premium laugbist.
was iu town this week. Resides
being the most accomplished laugh-
1st iii the world, Mc is no sardine,
touching the comforts of this life.
His experience with country hotels
is rich and varied. His travelling
paraphernalia consists of an extra
size Saratoga, which besides being
tilled with store clothes, contains 1
pair tongs, 1 poker. 2 pair of blank-
Vts. 1 bed rut/, and assortment ot
window glass, various sizes—from
8x10 to 12x14, 2 lbs. putty, l putty
knife, 12 napkins, 12 towels, 2 pair
sheets, ;.' pair pillow cases, 1 black-ing
biush, 1 hair brush, 1 fine tooth
comb, 1 looking glass, wash-bowl,
pitcher and slop tub, 1 kerosene
lamp, 1 great gross matches, 1
smoothing iron, 1 wash-board, 1 Hi-ble,
1 bottle bitters, I copy of the
Concord Sun, and toilet articles too
numerous to mention. He says he
finds many hotels deficient iu ar-ticles
of actual necessity, not to say
articles of comfort, and be is deter-mined
while travelling through this
vale of tears, that all the comforts
that money can buy shall be on
baud.— Concord Sun.
Captain Jack—His Head pre-served
in a Public Museum !
What will civilized nations think
of the preservation and exhibition
in a public museum of the head of
Captain Jack as a trophy or as a
curiosity ' No matter how bloody,
savage and treacherous a murderer
the Modoc chief was, the exhibition
ot his head is a disgrace to the
Government and to the civilization
Of that section of the country that
controls it. It has long been a fa-vorite
belief with our Northern
brethren that man was a progressive
animal that needed education only
to rid him of what other people call
the curse ol original sin ; but if any
proof were needed to establish the
falsity of this favorite belief it is to
be found in the course of the Fed-eral
Government in regard to the
Modocs. From the order ot Gen-
. eral Sherman for the extermination
i of the whole tribe, innocent and
! guilty alike, to the preservation of
tho head of Captain Jack and its
[public exhibition, its course has
i been barbarous and brutal to a
| degree equalled only by the most
untutored savages. If modern civili-zation
teaches or permits such con-duct
men may well pray to be de-livered
from it.
Arkansas carpet-baggers have
evinced an ingenuity in stealing
which would be funny if it were not
; so costly. A railroad, in aid of
; which bonds were issued, was built
' in a i>eculiar way. As soon as one
jsection was provided with rails,
I ties, &c, and the bonds obtained
! thereon, the same rails and ties
were taken up aud put down again
on the next section, for which a
further issue is demanded. The
result is that the bonds exist as the
only memento of the railroad, and
the people are consulting whether
they ought to be paid or not.
A Juror Excited
Recently a juror approached the
clerk ot the supreme Jodieal Court
and stated that it would be impossi-ble
for him to serve.
"Why not V inquired the clerk.
"Because Tm deaf," responded
the juror.
The clerk bad risen for incredu-lity,
and so informed the deaf man .

Don't go any higher. You are al-ready

"He is excused," said the judge

To Which Class, or a Menag-erie
of Drunkards.
The most foolish predicament a
man ever got into is to get drunk.
In drunkenness every man shows
his strongest and most ardent pas-sion.
There are six drnnkards, and
if you will go into a city drinking
place, where there are a dozen men
under the influence of liquor, you
will be sure to find these six differ-ent
animaN. The first isape-drunk.
He leaps, and sings, and yells, and
dances, making all sorts of"monkey
shines" to excite the laughter of his
fellows! O, terriblo silly is the
drunken clown. The second is
chicken drnnk; feels terribly
ashamed of himself and quietly
steals away to bed, as a chicken
would crawl nnder the bay or be-hind
a barrel in the corner. The
third is tiger drunk. He breaks
the heads of fellowcarousers, and
is full of blood and thunder. His
eyes are fued with vengeance and
bis soul raves with murderous fury.
Of this sort are those who abuse
their families. The fourth is hog-drunk,
ne rolls in the dirt on the
floor, slobbers and grunts, and go-ing
in the slreet makes his bed in
the first ditch or filthy corner he
may happen to fall into. lie is
heavy, lumpish, aud sleepy, and
cries in a grunting way for a little
more to drink. He will weep for
kindness, and whine his love and
ling you in his arms, and kiss you
with his Slobbery lips and proclaim
how he loves you. You are the
l>est man he ever saw, and will lay
down his money or life for you.—
The fifth is owl-drunk, ne is wise
in his conceit No man must differ
with him, tor his word is law. He
iR true iu politics, and all matter
must be taken as authorities. His
arm is the strongest, his voice the
sweetest, his horse the fleetest, his
turnips the largest, his town the
finest of all in the. town or land.—
The sixth and last animal of our
menagerie is the fox-drunk man.—
He is crafty, ready to trade horses
and t-heat if he can. Keen to strike
a bargain, leering around with low,
running, peeping through cracks,
listening under the eaves, watching
for some suspicious thing, sly as a
fox, sneaking as a wolf, he is the
meanest drunkard of them all.
Farmer's Young Men.
The tendency exhibited by yoong
men to shirk labor, is a growing
evil. _ Farmers' sons are accepting
all kinds of substitutes in the place
of honest labor on the farm. They
are seeking employment as clerks
in the towns and villages. They
have an idea that to be respectable
they must not labor on the farm ;
a position behind the
counter is far more honorable. So
they are constantly applying for
places.
When everything is prosperous
they get nearly enongh wages to
meet their current expenses, but
when a crash like that which is now
sweeping over the country comes,
their folly becomes appareut
Thrown out of employment they
find themselves

A Romantic Young Lady-
Elopes With a Piute Brave.
The Virginia (Nevada) Enterprise
of Oct. 7 says:
A few days since the daughter of
a well-to-do ranchman, residing on
the headwaters of fhe Walker river,
a handsome and well educated
young lady, about sixteen or seven-teen
vears of age, eloped with a
young man of the I'iute persuasion,
who had been working about her
father's place. The girl and her
dusky lover got considerably the
start of her father, and, it would
seem, did somo tall traveling to-ward
the wilderness and the war-rior's
castle of sagebrush on the
Lake of Walker, but the father did
not let the grass grow uuder feet
or his horse's hoof. lie procured
the best horse in the settlement and
rode a distance of ISO miles in
eighteen hours. He caught his
runaway daughter somewhere be-tween
Walker Lake and the Sink
ol the Carson, and snatched her
bald headed. What became ot the
gallant " lover" we have not learued.
The chances are that the irate
parent made it so warm for him
that be will not hereafter banker

who died in London a few weeks

who knew how to use. his money
wisely while living and distribute

of nine hundred thousand dollars.
He has left to tho city of Nowbnry

when tbe June roses were blooming,
with sweet words of kindness on
her pallid lips, she rose up and hit
him over the head with the rolling-pin,
