on the way to a funeral or a Wcddinglii

public discourse 1 hear so many muffled

we were on the way tea national inter

are ottering their hands for this betrothal.

Another suiter orjlie Nntionat bride is
Nihilism. He is worth nothing and owns
nothing save.a.kuife for universal cut
throatery and uitro-glycerine Iximb for
universal explosion. . He believes in no
God, uo Government, no Heaven aud no
hell, except that which he hopes to make
on earth. Demolition is the word. He
slew the last Czar of Russia, makes the
Emperor William of Germany a prisoner;
killed Abraham Lincoln, would assassi
nate every King and President iu all the
earth, aud it he had the power would
drive the God of Heaven from His throne
aad take it himself a universal butcher.
Iu France he is called Communism, in
the United States Socialism, ami in I'us
sia Nihilism; but the last word is more1
descriptive. It means complete and eter- i
ual smash-up. It makes the bedding of
property a crime; and if it had its way it
would put a dagger through your heart,
or a torch to your dwelling, and leave the
world iu possession of theft aud lust aud
rapine and murder. Where does this
monster live! In Brooklyn, and New
York, and every city aud every village of
the laud. This monster oilers his red
hand to this fair Republic, and says he
will have her, if not .by fair means then
'by foul. He says he will break -Up the:
ballot box, aud the Legislative hall, aud
the Congressional Assembly. He will,
take this laud and divide it up, or rather
divide it down. The idler shall have as
much as the worker, and the good as
much as the bad. Nihilism ? This pan
ther, after prowling -across all nations,
has se its paw on our soil, stud the time
is not far distant when it will make a
spring for its prey. It.burnt the railroad
property at Pittsburg in the great riot.
It killed black people ia our Northern ci
tiesiluring the war. If mauled to death a
Chinese last week in New York. It glares
oi'tt of the drunkeries at sober people go j
ing by. It would leave every church,'
chapel, cathedral, school and college in
the United States in ashes. Nihilism !
It is to-day the worst foe of the poor la-;
boring man in all the country. It drowns;
out his honest cry for reform w ith voeit-i
eratiou for auger, and j blood. If the!
vagabonds aed ciimiuals tanging through
these -cities crying for their light, when
I heir first right is the penitentiary, could,
be hushed up, the oppressed and down-;
trodden laborer would have more bread,
for his household. Riot and ioletice!
have never won higher wages or more
prosperity. The best weapon in thiscotin
try is not the brickbat or the shillalah,
but the ballot. Let not jhe poor come,
under the banner of Nihilism. He will
make your taxes higher, your wages,
smaller, your table scantier, y our chil
dren hungrier, your sniveling greater.
Still, nihili.Mii, with feet yet wet with
carnage, conies forth and oilers his hand
as suiter of this republic. If it were wik
e:i w here AvoAld ttie marriage be, and who
the officiating piiests. and what ihe tun
sie? The all ir musr lie.a white altar of
bleached skulls. The officiating priest a
dripping assassin. The music the smoth
ered groan of multitudinous victims. The
ring made from the chain of eternal cap
tivity. The garland twisted out of night
shade. Tiie viands apples of Sodom. The
wine the blood of St. Bartholomew's mas
sacre. Nay, nay, nay! It is not to nihil
ism, the saugunenus monster, that the
fair land shall be married. Let God aud
the angels and fifty millions of people
forbid the bans!
i
Another suiter for the national bride is
iufidelity. When midnight niffians de
spoiled the grave of A. T. Stewart in
Luke's Churchyard all the people wcie
shocked with horror. But infidelity pro
poses to do something worse than that,
namely, the robbing of all theigraves of
Christendom of the hope of resurrection.
It would chisel jout from the tombstone of
your Christian dead the words, "Asleep'
iu Jesus,wjind cut for substitute the words,
"Dismemberment aud obliteration." ' It
would take a letter of the world's Father,
i
inviting all tuitions to virtue aiid happi
ness, and tear it up in pieces so small that
notra word of it could be lead. It would
leave everv broken heart without consn
lation. and every dying man without a
soothing pillow. It would swear in the
President of the United States! and the
Supreme Com t and the Governors of the
States and the witnesses of the Court
Room, their right hand oti Paine's "Ae
of reason," or vVoi la ire's t'Phyldsophy of
History." It w ould take from this coun
try the book which has made the jifference
between this laud aud - the kiriirdom of
Dahomey j between Ainerican ciyilizatioa l'S' to him thi Ianr shall be mar
aud Boruisiaa cautbalUiu. If infidelity ' ried.1 O, ye patriots and Christians, by

crime of the century is to destroy that

steuchful, leprous rotten aud pestiferous
monster, puts out his baud, ichorous with
death, asking for this nation. He would
take possession not only of the parts4of
thi country fully Occupied, but the two
thirds of this continent not yet fully set
tled. He puts out his hand through the
seductive magazine, lyceuiu lecture and
parlor caricature of religion. He says:
"Give me all the laud east of the Missis
sippi, with its church keys and its Chris
tian printing presses; then give me Da
kota, give me Montana, give tue Wyoming,
give me Arizona, give me Alaska, give
me everything west of the Mississippi,
that 1 may hold it by right of possession
before the gospel shall grt fully entrench
ed there." He presses his claim with an
ardor aud determination appalling. What
say you ? Shall the bans be proclaimed f
No !'' say the home missionaries of the
West a band of martyrs amid malarias
and fatigues and starvation not if we
can help it; by alljthe privation we and
our children" have kuflcieit, we forbid the
bans." "No," say the geuuiue patriots,
"our institutions were bought at loo great
a price aud have been defended at too
dear a saci ilice to be thus cheaply sur
rendered." "No," says the God of'Ply
moujth Hock and Independence Hall and
iimiker Hill aud Gettysburg, "I do niit
.start tliis nation f;ir such a farce." No!
No!, It is not to iatidelity this land is to
married. I
There is anotlieij suiter Air this land.
The verse following my text an nonces
liiin ? "As the bridegroom rejoiveth over
the Iu ii'e, so shall thy God rejoice over
thee." To win the world, Christ stops ht
no humiliation of simile. He computes
His grace to spittle opening blind ey es,
aud Himself to a hen gatiiei ing her chick
ens, and heie to a suitor begging a hand
iu marriage. He deserves this bride. To
see what he has done to win her, behold
Pilate's court room with its insulting ex
pectorations on His face, and Calvary
with its awful hetnorage. Jacob served
fourteen y ears for Ka haei, but Christ
served thirty-three years iu toiture that
He might win the heart of the world.
Moieover, long ago, jul as Princesses at
biith are pledged in treaty to earthly rub-is,
so this nation at its birth was set
apart for God. Before Columbus ami the
10 men embarked on board Santa Maria,
the Pinto and the Nina on their event In i
voyage, what did they do ? Took the sac
ramet ot our Lord Jesus Chi ist. Coining
in siht of laud, what song goes up from
all three decks? j'Glmia in Excelsts!"
What did they lirst do, stepping from
shipboard to solid jground f All knelt in
prayer, consecrating the new" world to
God. What did the Huguenots do, land
ing in the Carolina, and the Hollanders
lauding in New York, and the Puritans,
lauding iu New England? With bent knees
and uplifted faces And hcaveu-beseechiug
prayers they took possession of this conti
nent for God. How did they open the
lirst American Congress ? With prayer
iu the name of Christ. Pledged at tlie
bit tli of this Divined marriage was
America. Besides i ' that, see what He
has done for us. Opeu the map of out
North American continent aud see how
the laud was shaped for immeasurable
prosperities. Behold the navigable rivers,
greater and more jthan any other land,
running down to the sea iu all directions,
prophecy of large m in u fact tires and easy
commerce. Look at tlie great ranges of
mountains, timbered with wealth on tlie
top and sides and metalled with wealth
underneath ; 13U,000 square miles of coal;
180,000 square miles of iron. The land n
contoured that extreme: weather seldom
lasts more than three days. For the most
of the year the climate is bracing and
favorable for brawn aud brain. All fruits,
all minerals, all harvests. Scenery which
displays an autumnal pageantry which no
other laud pretends to rival. No South
American earthquakes. No Scotch mists.
No English fos. No Egyptian plagues.
No Germanic divisions.7 -The happiest
people on earth are the people of the Uni
ted States. The poormau has more chance,
the indust rous man more opportunity.
How good God is to us and our children !
To Him, blessed be His mighty name! To
Him of the cross and triumph, tollim who
still remembers the prayers of the Pii-
- -. - i j
grim Fathers and Huguenots and Hollaud
your contributions aad prayers hasten
the day for this fulfillment. ! '
We are turning just now a great leaf fa
the ponderous tome of our Nation's his
tory. At the different gates of this conti
nent last year over 500,000 emigrants ar
rived, and at the different gates this year
over 600,000 will come. Who are they T
They are not paupers of Europe. I was
told at Kansas City last suaimer tliat a
a vast multitude of them passed through
averaging 300 each. A large number
who came thror.gh Castle Garden aver
aged $1,000 each. Recently twenty fami
lies arrived with $35,000 among them.
Mind yon, families not tramps. Addi
tions to the wealth of your cotuitry, not
subtraction. Some of them I saw last Tues
day at Castle Garden reading their Bibles
ibles
audhyinn books. They had tHiristhh
mem to me steerage ana ttiey nave (Jurist
with them on the emigraut rail train
which every afternnoon at 5 o'clock beai-s
them westward. Our Commissioners of
Emigration take them off the vessel, aud
iu the name of humanity and God for
ward them to the place of destination.
And soon they will turn the Territories
iuto States and the wilderness into gar
dens if we build for them Churches aud
establish for them schools aud send them
Christian missionaries. Are you afraid
that this country will be overcrowded on
account of this emigration f A fishing
smack on Lake Ontario might; us well
to-morrow morning fear being crowded as
the next ten generations of our people
fear being crowded iu America. Dj uot
tell me these foreigners bring either pre
ferences for other Governments. They
are sick of the Governments under which
they were oppressed and they' want free
America. Give them a miyhty gospel ol
welcome. Throw around them the hospi
talities of the Christian religion.; They
wid add their int.ustry aud their hard
earned wages to our National prosperity,
aud then we w ill all go to Christ and this
land shall le married. Where do you
think the mairiage altar shall be lifted ?
Let it be on the Rocky Mountains, when
through artitical and mighty irrigations
its tops shall be covered withviucyards
and orchards and green fields. The Bos
tons and New Yorks aud Charlestons of
the Pacilic Coast shall come to the altar
from one side aud the Bostons and New
Yorks and Charlestons of the Atlantic
coast will come from the other side, and
there amidst them let the Bride of all Na
tions kneel. Aud through theorgauof the
loudest thunders that ever shake theSierra
Nevadas one on theoje side, or, more,
the foundations of the Alleghanies on the
other side, should open full diapasou ot
weddi g march, it would uot 'drown the
pledge of the betrothal wheu Christ the
King takes the Land of this Bride of Na
tions, say ing, "As the bridegroom re-joict-th
over tho biidr, so thy God re
j.nceth over thee." At that marriage ban
quet the platters shall be of Nevada silver
and the chalices of California gold, and
the fruits from Northern orchards aud the
spices from Southern groves, and the
tapestry from New England lwnus, aud
the congratulations from all free Nations
of earth and all triumphant armies of
Heaven. "And so thy land shall be mar
ried." The Lawyers on Prohibition.
Hon. R. P. Dick will leave the city for
Concord this afternoon, where he has an
appointment to deliver a speech on pro
hibition. The Republican executive com
mittee will be opposed by the Judge
throughout the campaign, as .occasion
may offer.
An Observer reporter approached ex
Judge Mertimon with a view of learning
his iuteuded mavemeuts dnring the cam
paign, aud was iufoimed that it was this
genllemau'8 purpose to be heard through
out the State on everyoccasion when not
at a sacrifice of his legal interests. The
Judge will deliver an address on prohibi
tion at Gastouia on the 25th iust., and
oue at High Poiut on the same subject
on the 4th day of July.
In reply to the question whether in his
opinion the leaders of the Republican
party throughout the State generally
would enter the campaign on the autl
prohibition platform, Judge Merriniou
said that they would not that the Re
publican executive committee hail no an
thority to foreo the issue upon the party,
and mentioued as among tho most able
men of that party who are opposing the
measure, the names of ex-Judges Albert
sons, Henry, Reade aud Buxton, the for
mer of whom will enter tho canvass for
prohibition; also that W. S. Ball, Esq.,
a prominent Republican of Greensboro,
wonld be fouud ou the side of prohibition
in the coming coutest. The name of Hon.
D. A. Jenkius, of Gaitoh, was also men
tioned iu connection with tho above,
which leads to the belief that the execu
tive committee iu shouldering the auti
nrohibitiou cause assumed a resposibility
tor its party which a large majority of
the better membeiVof that party will not
support. Char. Observer.

Hall says the besl medicines in the
world, more efficient than all the po
tations of the materia medica, are
warmth, rest, cleanliness and pure
air. .' Some persons make it a virtue
to hav,e disease, "to keep up" as long
as they can move a foot or wiggle a
finger, ami t sometimes succeeds ; but
iu others the powers are thereby so
complete! exhausted that the system
has lost all ability to recuperate, ami
slow typhoid fever sets in and carries
the patient to a premature grave. A
good tied and cm1 room are the very
first iudispensibles to a sure and
speedy recovery. Instinct lead all
beasts and birds to quietude and ret
the very moment that disease or
wounds assail the system.
It is a very pretty fight which is
going on in tiie Sew Hampshire Leg
islature, where, by gerrymandering
and otherwise, the Republicans have
a large majority. The term of Sena
tor Rollins expire in March, 18S3.
There is to be a election of the Leg
islature in 1882, but that body will
not convene under tl.e law until the
summer of 1883, three months after
Rollins will cease to be a Senator.
Tlie Supreme Court has, therefore,
given its opinion that the election
should be held at the present session,
which seems reasonable. Rollins fa
vors this because he thinks lie can be
elect by the members of the present
Assembly. William E. Chandler,
the political tramp, whose appoint
ment to Mr. Sam. Philips' place the
Senate recently rejected, aud whois
80 justly odious for his conduct in
Florida in the Presidential swindle
of 1876, has put iu his claims, and
thinks that if the Senatorial election
were to be postpjned until after the
next election, he could manipulate th?
State as he did Florida and get a ma
jority of members pledged to him. He
therefore opposes a preseut election,
aud us he controls tlie lower house,
he has so far prevented its taking a
ballot.
He and his friends are now-termed
the "bolters," and they propose to
staud out against an election. On
the whole it looks like the Radical.
have fallen on bad time. When
such a fellow as Chandler can aspire
to a Sena tor hip, even from a State
where the Radical? are as mean as iu
New Hampshire, it argues badly for
that party. With the Repulican lead

Electricity lor Carriages. -It
is not improbable that electric
if', it hi owviii -x; uicu to iirive ir-
riages in our avenues and Central i
Park, so great are the possibilities of
the M. Faure system of storage of
elect ric energy. A 1 ready a I ricycle,
weighing 400 pounds-, with its occu
pant, has beer, driven through the
streets of Paris by electricity at the ?
speed of a cab, ami it is expect etl that
the sa me motive power will give such
vehicles a speed of fifteen rnilcs an
hour. If tricycles and. bycyclcs can
be driven so satisfactorily by the use
of M. taure's boxed electric energy,
why not ordinary carriages? There
is no rca son why t h ey ca n n o t be so
driven. In fact, it is already an
nounced that an omnibus is lo be run
by .electricity at Berlin, its route be
ing from Zehlendorf to Tetlow. Jhi
ventors have toilet! in vain- to pro
duce a steam wagon that could be
safely and economically used on com
mon roadways, but by taking elec
tricity instead ofjsteam for motive
power, they can succeed in giving us
a substitute for horses to draw our
carriage?.
When people can order a box of
electricity from the manufacturer iu
place of a horse from an extortionate
liveryman, riding in Central Park,,
need no longcrbe a luxury confined
to the rich, and an income of $10,000
a year will uot I e essential to keep
ing your own carriage. Sir William
Thompson has pronounced the little
box sent to Glasgow University by
M. Faure, of Paris, and containing a
million foot pounds of electric ener-
gy, a very important discovery. It'
is with satisfaction that the Ixenivg
Mail reminds the public that the very
day the news of M. Fa tire's discovery
reached America, and before any of
our contemporaries had suggested any
thitig of the kindy we pointed out that
it would be of vast utility in solving
the problem of electric illumination
and of the propulsion of vehicles by
electirc energy.
