H. bpurgacn. "All tho ptJis of the Lord are mercy and truth to such as keep ins covenant" asd his testimonies. I'halm xxv : 10. This Psalm i.s intense! j earnest. Every word in exceeding weighty with sense and sincerity, il take it that one reason for this is Jhe fact that Dqvid weight was in anitction. lie savs, "l am deso- late and afllicted. Look .upon my aflliction and my pain." Pain is a great dlsenchanter. Fiowory speeches suit the . summeir-tide of our health, but wo find tliern not in the winter oL bur grieL V&in kills lino phrases as a mighty frost kills butterflies and " moths. You can play with religion until you are laid low, and then it becomes serious work. Mixed, also, with David's suffer ing there was a sense qf jsin. A thorn in the fiesh is nothing to a thorn in the conscience. jA sense of sin is another great disenchant- er. v nen the neart is awaKenea and sin is laid bare by thie Spirit of God, so that we are truly hum bled by it, life ceased to be a sport, and an awful earnestness pervades our being. j One other thing is notable about David in writing this j Psalm: "Whatever Ms troubles might be, and however deep his $ense of sin, he looked Qqdward always. The ungodly fly away from God when He chastens them,1 but the saints kiss the chastening rod. The child of God goes home when it grows dark. In myktext I see two things worth alking about. The first j is "the spiritual covenanter" "such as ieep his testimonies ; and, sec ondly, here is "his notable ex perience" "All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep His covenant." 1. Observe in the text the foot print of the spiritual covenanter. louhave heard of the old Coven anters of Scotland, tlieir decision of mind and" force o character. Their theory of government for the Kingdom of Scotland was quaintly unpractical, but it grew out of true and -deep fear of the Lord. These stern old men with their stiff notions, have gone. . And what have we in their places ? In difference and frivolity, bell-contained men, men in whom is the true grit, are now few and far be tween as compared with I the bid covenanting days. - i But I want to speak this morn ing, not of the old - covenanters, but of those who at this day the covenant of the Lord, true covenanter is one who found out God, and therein made the greatest discovery The has has that has ever been made. He has dis covered, not only a God, but the living and true God ; and he is 're solved to bern living terms with Him for time and for eternity. :He will henceforth never shut his eves"to God, for his longing is to see more and more of Him.' Already, too, this man has dis covered another covenant, whose ruins lay between him and God, and block the road. He reads of the first covenant, the covenant with our first father, Adam, which was broken by his disobedience, whose fatal breach has brought upon us losses and woes 'uunum beie.l. This covenant the j be liever has not ignored, for he has felt his share in its failure, nnd come under the condemnation of it. Brethren, we are condemned under the first covenant not only by the act of our representative, but also through our personal en dorsement of his rebellion by; our own actual sin. That covenant, which should have been a coven ant of lie, has become a covenant of death unto us. ' This covenanter of whom I speak is one .who has, through divine enlightenment, perceived a better covenant, and sure salva tion therein. He has seen the Son of God arrayed in blood-stained garments coming 'front Gethse- mane ; he has seen him answering at the bar for the j broken law, scourged with the chastisement of our peace, and bound with- the bands of our condemnation.' O, my soul, hast thou not seen thy Lord bareheaded amid the temp est of divifie wrath for sin ? Our soul has stood in the midst of the horrible tempest, half-blinded by the lightning, and deafened by the thunder, at last there has been a rent in the black mantle, and a shower of wondroiis love has fol lowed the black tempest, and a $"0.ice has been heard, sweeter than h& harps of angels, saying, "It is gjtJied. Thus have the Lord s COTeJctfed onc.es come foith fronT uu'ejr tf8 old - covenant into, a Cvenaut of grace, in which pet-ce 4 )oy abound. Now are we in ' happy JeaOTe with God. Our covenant with him shall compass trJl pur life ; we are his, and he is ours. The covenanting man does not regard himself any more ae one by himselfMor he lQm& wto m Lord, and has entered into the closest fellowship with Him. None can separate him from God the union i vital and complete. You ask lae what it is which thus binds the man to God. I answer: he feels that he is henceforth joined unto the Lord for many reasons, and among the rest because1, the Lord has chosen him to be His own. He is old-fashioned enough to believe that God has a choice in the salvation of men, and he perceives, because faith has been granted him, that the Lord has evidently chosen him unto salva tion. Now, the man that believes that God has chosen him. that is the man to entef fnto covenant with God, and tp keep that cov-j onantr Moreover, in addition to the choice of God this covenanter sees a blood-mark upon his body, soul, and spirit. The.redemption made on the cross; whatever its ether bearings, is seen by the believer to be specially for him. he cries : "For me the bloody sweat ; for me the nails and the spear. Truly, I am not my own, I am bought with a price. "Besides, the covenanting be liever feels that he has been .the subject of a special calL What ever God may have done with 6th-1 ers, he knows that he has dealt specially with him in a way of grace and mercy. A voice has called him from his kindred and from his father's house as surely as Abraham was called. The Lord Himself has brought him out of darkness into marvelous light. Omnipotent grace has aroused the echoes of his soul. Yes, I can say something more, for this true covenanter feels that he is now united, to God in Christ Jesus. Matchless doctrine, unity with God through Jesus Christ ! "We talk of aristocrats of heaven and earth. We often hear the words "royalty" and "blood roy al;'' the blOQd royal of the uni verse is the man that believes in Jesus. By virtue of our union with Christ we are ona with God and partakers of the divine nature. The day shall come when all the gewgaws and trappings of courts shall be laid aside as faded- taw diness ; but then the true . dignity and honor of tho twice-born, the quickened I by the , Holy Xrhost, shall be truly seen. To be' mem bers of the body of Christ this means glorj' indeed. To be mar ried unto the King'sJSon, even to the Lord Jesus this means such bliss as angels cannot reach. Do you wonder that because of such immeasurable privilege we make a sure covenant with God '? " There are three or four things I would say briefly about this true covenanter : the Lord make each one of us to be of his stamp ! You may know him by his attachment to the Lord Jesus, who is the sum, substance, surety, and seal of the covenant ; as also by his zeal for the Gospel through which ; the covenant is revealed to the sons of ,men. He will not hear anything which is not according to the old Gospel, for he counts another gospel to be a pestilent evil. He is very fond of the word "grace ;" and with the thing itself he is al together enamored. The man that ts in covenant with God can not f ear the idea of human merit he .loathes it, it raises his in dignation. Others may feed on philosophical morality," but noth ing but the grace of God will' do for us. Our keeping the coven ant and the testimonies binds us to a firm adherence to the inspir ed Gospel, and the grace of God, which -is the glory of it. He who is indeed in covenant with God is known by- his con tinual regard to the life, walk and triumph of faith. He has faith,and by faith he lives and grows. He is and has and does all things by faith, and you cannot tempt him away from that faith in which he stands. ' . This covenanting man will also be known by his stern '-resolve to preserve the Gospel in its purity and hand it on to others. When the truth of God was made known to Abraham, it was committed to birn and to his descendants as to a sacred deposit, of which they were to be the guardians and trus tees. It was theirs to keep that lamp burning by which the rest of the world would, in due time,' -be saved from darkness. At this hour the eternal truths of the Gos pel of our Lord Jesus Christ are given over to certain chof.en men and women, to be preserved by them till the coining of tho Lord. This keeping is to be acqempanied with a constant proclamation, so that the truth may spread as well as live, and may go on conquer ing and to conquer. 1 II. Under our second head let us study the covenanter's notable experience. The text says : "All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenent andJiis testimonies." Observe, first that "the Lord makes many approaches to cov eaanting meii-" He does ; not leave them a'ione, but He comes to Jhem and jaanifest Himself wtQ AU the paths of the Lord," I icin that the Lord has many ways -of drawing near to, His chosen. Not in tho -public highways of grace only doth He meet those with whom He is on terms of pcaee, but in many private and seek-t paths. He makes ways for Ilifti self, and comes along them quiet ly, taking His people at unawares. Ou a sudden he whispers a -word of heavenly promise, and then is away again. But he U not Ioiig gone; He makes another path add comes to us with. new unction ai2d fresh revcalings. What a life is that to which the Lord makes iji unmerahle natha. Happy shall he be who feliall attain, to it ! i i JLr Kote, next, that "all the deal ings of God with His people are in a way of mercy." "AH feue paths of the Lord are rherej." This is well, for the best of saints will always need mercy. Those who kfcp His covenant are still kept by His mercy. That mercy will always be "ten der mercy," abiding mer6v and abounding mercy. His mercy is constant as the day, fresh as tTie hour, new every- morning. The Psalmist says: "All paths of the Lord are mercy truth." That is to say God always shown the truth of the and has his word. He has never be'en false to his pledges. He has done ac cording to His word. We have followed no cunningly devised fa bles. We have had truth of mer cy, verity of mercy. I maj have been a dreamer in some tilings, but when I have lived unto God, I have then exercised the shrewd est common sense, and walked af ter rule of prudence. I know that many of you think that -Christian experience leans tothe region of sentiment, if not of imagination; but indeed it is not so. The sur" est fact in a believer's life is God's nearness to him, care for him, love for him. Other things jtre shadows or shinings which comp and go. How I wish I coidd per suade you of this ! but alas, the carnal mind will not receive spir itual tilings; I may bear witness of that which I tasto apd handle, but you will not believe me. To this rule there is no excep tion "All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep Lis covenant." - All Goifos dealings with his people are gra cious and faithful. Sometimes the ways of God are full of truth and mercy manifestly they have been so to me in many a notable instance. Mark you, when we cannot see it, the Lord is just as merciful in his ways to us. God is as good when he denies as when he grants; ana tnongu we oiten see tne mar velous tenderness of our God, it is not necessary that we should see it to make it true. Our God is wise as a father, and tender as a mother, and when we cannot comprehend his methods - we will believe in his love. r I hear some say, "These things do not happen to me.- I find my self struggling alone, and full of sorrow." Do you keep the cove nant ? Some of you professing Christian people live anyhow and not by covenant rule. You do not live to God, you do not keep his covenant, you do not observe his testimonies, you are not living consecrated lives; therefore, if you do not enjoy His mercy and His truth do not' blame the Lord. I have this much to add to it What a bliss it is to have entered upon the spiritual life and be in covenant with God ! What solid ity we have in Godliness I It puts eternal rock beneath our feet. What a wondrous thing the life of a consecrated man will seem to be when it shall be viewed in its com pleteness in the right of the eter nal throne! Then will the em broidery of love be seen in its beaty,and the fabric'of life will be owned to be worthy of a God.

At length the issue of a revision, reduction and reform of the import duties is be come a square issue between the great parties which contend fur political supremacy. The issue U no longer one of theory. It is ko practical and so urgent that it can not be evaded or delayed. Prow fields of philosophic and specula tive inquiry statesmen must turn and address themselves to the plain and real business of cutting down the revenue by at least one hundred millions. Those charged with this duty have a great responsibility before them. Upon their success will de pend their tenure of power. In ono sentence, the Democratic par ty is in possession of therevenue: branch of tho JNational Legisla ture and tho Administrative De-! partment of the Government at tho moment when the inexorable j demands of an overflowing audi ever filling Treasury press for the immediate reduction of excessive I and unjust taxation. This is no child's play. It is business of the most complicated and actual description. He fails wholly to . comprehend tho situa tion who thihks it simple and easy. The principles of wise tax ation are entirely so. But the ed ifice which rapacity and fraud have erected, may not be razed to tho ground at once. It is as a house built of rotten timber upon an unsafe foundation, yet full of occupants who may not be ignor ed and must be considered. In the latter ease we should go to work with the nicest care. We should first remove tho women and the children, the old, the feeble and tho sick. Wo should run up the needful scaffolding. We should begin at tho top and go down to the ground step by step, piece bv piece. So must we proceed with the tariff. . When the Courier-Journal be- igan the agitation for revenue re form it had no thought of antago nizing the manufacturing interests of the country. On the contrary, it believed, . and it still believes, that a cheapening of the processes of production and a removal of the prevailing obstructions to commerce would supplement the home market with foreign mar kets, would restore us our ( lost carrying trade, would prevent oversupply . and give our work people constant employment, and, as a corollary to these benefits, would increase business every where and lessen the cost of living to all classes. We thought, and we4 yet think, the producer equally concerned with the consumer in the reform of abuses which have with the growth n,lfi ctroTirTfh.nMV-nn"fri fh ctrnfrth nf a protective tariff surpassing the dreams of the extremest and most exacting Protectionist of . five and tv.enty years ago! ' - It is a great misfortune" to the cause of reform that the manu facturing interest, of the country has cast its lot so largely on the side of a defense and preserva tion of this mpnstrous tariff and left its revision tpthose who would be greatly assisted could they be enlightened by its experience and brains, Nevertheless,- the public duty which stares us in the face is im perative, and, when .duty calls, the Democratic party must obey. It is pledged to revise the tariff in a spirit of farness to all inter ests ; to injure no domestic indus tries, but rather to promote,, their healthy growth ; to be at j every step regardful of the labor , and capital involved ; and, in making reductions, to leave margin enough to coyer the difference between the wages prevailing in America and Europe. . No Itevenue-reform Democrat will dispute any one of these pro visions," and no such proposes, or has eye? proposed, to ignore them in the making qf a tariff bill. The party of Revenue Reform is just as inuih interested in the prosper ity of the country as the party of High Protection. There is a dif ference, aa honest difference, we hope, as to certain public policies bearing thereupon. In the dis cussion of these there have been both misconceptiqns and raisrepr resentations, sqme through the heat of controversy, some, through ignorance, some through artiul design. The chief complaint which we have to set up is that those Demqcrats who oppose the revision of the tariff use a double j tongue and I keep faith with nobody Protectionists first, Democrats afterward.

THE MINCE PIE. BY BILL 3iE. "I am the engineer of the 102, ana am giviu it to you straight No man ever stood by the compa ny's interests or saved more mon ey for the old Back Uo and Toot lload than I have. Alany's the time I've got off tho J02 to dfiyo off a two year old feteer instead of squashing him and then allowing the Back Up and JToot Boa4 to pay for him. I could pull the pay car or yank No. 7 loaded with Mormon emigrants, it made1 no odds to me. I always allowed to obey orders, whether it was to back up four feet or slack ahead half a car. 'I never was a man that would drink while on dutybut sometimes I would take. inthe town with the boys and give it a coat of j red paint when there was no danger of being called out on an extra or asked to double back with a 102. Still, I wasn't a drinkin' man at all, and didn't care two cents for, the tasto of liquor or tha etTeot of it. I just wanted to be sociable. "Well, one afternoon I was west bound, pulling three day coaches and two sleepers, besides baggage, mail and express.

She held a piece of it to ward me with her beautiful wrist and white, dimpled knuckles like a baby's. I said, 'No, thank you, I never drink.' But she laughed and socked it into my mouth. 4 I knew it was flavored with brandy, and ate it greedily. She chatted on gayly while I put that home made demon pie into my mouth to steal away my brains.

The advocates of the liquor traffic in sist that this "poaocful war" in terforos with personal liberty, but the women answer (his by point ing to tho thousands of mothers, wives, sisters and daughters who bear to-day the agony of living sorrow caused by the liquor traffie, and say, ''What about tho rights of these suffering mortals ?" Then, too, wo point to the thousands of little chddrcn old in grief because of drunken, fathers, and we ask, "What of these little ones? Have they no rights ?" You say you believe drunkards should be punished as criminals. If you regard the slow, insidious growth of the alcoholic appetite, and the deception it practices up on its-victims, youprobnblv would agree with the'W. C. T. if. in her profound sympathy for the drunk ard. But. Mr. Davis, even if it would be." best to strictly punish j drunkenness with the extreme! penalty of the law. will the women ; who are the true sunerers, be re- j lieved from any of the woe, pov erty and disgrace brought about by the drunkard? The argument' that the punishment of drunkards would prevent drunkenness is lost in the fact that the man who slips down the steep slopes of alcoholic diseaso - would, when lashed by his 'furious thirst, sell his very soul for drink. The drinker be comes oblivious to the law in pro portion to his increase of appe tite. , . - You say that the world is too much governed.- In this you ig nore the statistics - of official re cords which show that the liquor traffic is the ercat feeder of the? courts, and the prolific cause of i the needed police force of the country.
