three months- ago I asked one of
the busiest and best men in North
Moody, the evangelist, having
been invited to visit "Richmond,-on
January 4th, Mr. B. I). Core,
well known citizen of Richmond,
publishes a card as follows :
'Durirjg the month of April,
ISTGMr. Moody held, a series oi
revival meetings in the hippodrome,
New York. One of his discourses
on that occasion was characterized
by a narrow, sectional, contracted
prejudice, not countenanced in any
Gentleman., much less in a man
professing to be lull to overflowing
with Christian grace, and charity.
In the course of his remarks it
suited his purpose tol illustrate t!ie
characterof Jesus Christ aud the
devil but howt He said, iu sub
stance, that it was. the custom oi
Jesus Christ, iu his: parables, to
use I as e-ampls those persous,.
characlers and scenes witu wuicu
the people to whom he was speak
iriir were most, familiar, and, said
Ihe. "1 will do likewise. The rebel
leaders. Lee and Stonewall Jack
sou, and the peerless ti atriot. Grant,
r names which are familiar to
you all." He then proceeded to
diVesti Lee. and, Jackson of every
honorable characteristici III their
reliirions ;liaracters; they were
worse khan the followers - of Ma
hornet. In their moral lives the
life of Nero in comparison was as
white as the driven snow;. "In

r.ion1 iind -Animus Of tlieir lives and
actions, thev more forcibly repre
sented the character iof the King
of Darkness than any names whicl
mv knowedae of the? world's his
tory enables me to call to mind
since Judas betrayed the Lord of
Glorv.t He then proceeded to
clothe Gen. Graut in all the gran
duer of a god, so far as the extent
of words could do, lobbing heaven
of its glory, and God of His' attri
butes with which to adorn his hero
Grant4-his ideal , representative of
Christ.- : ; '-- - - ;n

orayear.iue night ot years is
measured by our age. Childhood
is happy and bright, and to happy
children the sun "does never rise
a wiak too soon", nor bring too
long a day," birt, tlie years si-em
almost an age an age or jileas
ure. Time shrinks, up as we crow-
oTd. Everything shrinks. The
trees are not so' tall nor the hills
so long and steep. The rivers are

become branches. Indeed, the
great big world that used to strain
our comprehension and excite our
wonder is not much of a planet

On Christmas night ; that is the

tumultuous confusion of infantile
