Ballad f CHristmaa Ghosts.
Andrew ianj i Harper' Magazine.
Between the moonlight and the fire,
In winter evenings long ago, -What
ghosts I raised at your desire
- Ta make your leaping blood run slo w !
How old,-bow grave, how wise we grow 1
What Christmas ghosts'ean make us chill
Save those who troop in mournful row,
The ghosts we aH can raise at will f
The beasts can talk in barn and byre
Oa Christmas-eve, old legends know.
As one by one the years retire,
We men fall silent then, I trow
Such sights has memory to show,
Sach voices from the distance thrill.
Ah me ! they coine with Christmas snow,
Tbi ghosts we all can raise at will.
Oh children of the village choir,
Teur carols on the midnight throw !
Oh, bright across the mist and mireps
Te ruddy hearths of Christmas glow!
Beat back the shades, beat down the woe,
Renew the strength of moral will ;
Be welcome, all, to come or go,
The ghosts we all can raise at will.
' ' . . -
Friend, xurtum corda, soon or slow
We part like guests who've joyed their fill ;
Forget them not, nor mourn them so,
The ghosts we all can raise at will !
NATIONAL SERMONS
Based on the 23d Chapter of Matthew.
Reported for the Raleigh Register.
" Woe unto you, Scribes aDd Pharisees, hypo
crites J lor ye are wee uow wmiea sepmenres,
which appear beautiful outward, but are within
full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Even so ye outwardly appear righteous unto
men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and in
iquity." ,
It was a custom, my friends, amongst
the Jews to build domes or cupolas, or in
some instances columns, over the graves of
their dead. These Coverings of the graves
were Called tombs or sepulchres. It was
'also customary amongst Pagans to build
tombs in honor of their dead. The Mo-
' hammedans erected mosques or little build
iBgtfover the graves of their saints at Ze
bid. - When the Mohammedan Lent was
neat1 at hand these' were unusually white
washed to give them an air of freshness,
and render them more conspicuous and at
tractive to the deluded worshipers. Per
haps our Lord had an eye to this as well
as the tombs in Judea. It was a custom
with the Jews to whitewash their sepul
chres annually. This was caused by the
. excessive rains of that country, which ren
dered! it impossible to make such adorn
ment as whitewashing durable. At the
timeVjour Lord ottered the text the feast of
the piassover was just, at hand, and Israel
was afrout to assemble at Jerusalem at
their' national solemnities. , Hence, to
make ostentatious show of reverence for
the dead, and to display great religious
zeal, And give the sepulchres a cheerful
appearance to the thousands of visitors,
the, whitewashing the ornamentation
just; before the annual gathering at the
great national and religious festival. The
Scribes and. Pharisees were do doubt
prominent in this work of adorning the
sepulchres. This would give them some
notoriety some eclat in the estimation of
the giddy multitude who attended the an
nual feast. f But all the art of outward
embellishment could not alter the contents
of the sepulchres. While they were beau
tified on the exterior and rendered attrac
tive, to the eye, they contained .within
nothing but f' dead men's bones and all
uncleanness." ;
The comparison here used by our liord
has great force. There is nothing more
offenaveand repulsive to human sensibility
than the odors of decaying human bodies.
- A dead body may be wrapt in silken vest-
ent8 and fine lined, adorned' with, finest
jewels, bedecked with flowers of richest
hue, and, it may be, encased in gold or
silver burial case, yet when putrefaction
takes place it sends out the same sickening
odors that shock the strongest nerves. The
stench arising from the putrefaction of
numan ooaies, were it not lor the grave or
" its equivalent, would breed pestilence and
.death.- . Thus infected, the verv air we
breathe would become the messenger of
disease and widespread desolation. No
one could live for any great length of time
in a charnel house and retain vigorous
health. The history of all great pestilen
tial scourges confirms these statements.
There is much significance in these facts
when we come to consider the application
our Lord made of this metaphor to the
Scribes and Pharisees. They are repre
sented as living, moving sepulchres, care
fully whitewashed and beautified exter
nally.by gaudy regalia and the sanctimo
nious ceremonials of religion given to
much ostentation and learned prayer in
public places to be seen and heard of men.
And with this self-exaltation they min
gled the most presumptuous vanitya van
ity alike hateful to God and repulsive to
purity and religion, in that they thanked
uoa tney were not as other men. They
were exclusionists of the irarest tvne and
self-constituted monopolists in the wor-
. .ship Of God, scorning all other worshipers,'
be they repentant publicans or any other
of the multitude of sinners around them.
These (might make confession of sins to
God; and send up the most devout pray
ers ia faith and humility. They might
exercise the most implicit trust in the par
doniag power and mercy of God, and still
they were held in contempt by the Phari-
- sees and lawyers. They thought such
graces and practices their exclusive privi
lege.,; With all their boasted claims to a
monajjoly in God and religion, the Phari
sees wore, as our Lord saw them, only dil
igent in the practice of the chief features
of their true characters, hypocrisy and in
iquity. Nevertheless, there were, accord
ing to the precepts of Moses, devout and
sincere worshipers of God amongst the
Jews. There were those who honestly
searched the writings of the Prophets and
inquired as to the time and manner of the
comiiig of Christ. Of this class there
were those who accepted the miracles of
ourLord as ample proof of his Messiah
ship. But, by way of confirmation, he
gave them other proofs of his divinity
Possessing divine presence, he told them
the thoughts of their hearts whch had
never been uttered. He told them of the
secret workings of their minds and hearts
, and revealed the hidden motive which
prompted their actions. Thus fortified
with proof , they acknowledged the Mes
sianic character of the Master.
I have, my friends, presented this por
traiture of the faith of the disciples for
the sake of the contrast, and because it
brings out and shows ia the strongest
colors the perverseness of the . Scribes
and Pharisees. Indeed, their rejection
of the Messiah was selfish obstinacy a
preeoneeived purpose to "rule or ruin"
' a fixedness of mind to prevent any dis
S!,087K.r hypocrisy and iniquity.
They, therefore, hated the disciples as
thhated the Master. Every believer
added to the nuniber was a new source of
diabolical rage -D their part, and everv

unto blood everything that might lead to
it. As grand factor in that purpose
they appealed to every available prejudice
and hoped thereby to stir up the multi
tude to the' horrible crime of assassina
tion. Instead of endeavoring to promote
peace; and good order, they encouraged
and incited their partisans to mob violence
and to the murder of the Master and his
disciples. They devised the most inflam
matory proceedings and manufactured al
legations calculated to stir up the animosi
ties and intensify the hatred of the popu
lar mind against him whom God had sent
to bring salvation to Israel. They insti
tuted mock eourts and held mock trials in
order to give some sort of semblance to
their murderous designs. The good deeds
of our Lord were growing in popularity
and the white-washing of the vile hypo
crites was giving way. Their iniquitous
conduct, both public and private, was in
a fair way to be exposed, the struggle for
supremacy was becoming hot . and sharp,
the visions of luxurious living upon the
public revenues, the quiet possession -of
governmental patronage and subsidy were
growing weaker every day under the
teachings of justice and mercy by our
Lord. The introduction of public virtue
and reform was imminent, the purifica
tion of the courts and the punishment of
criminals were likely to take place and
the constitution and laws of Moses were
about to be vindicated. A crisis was
upon them and they were driven to des--
peration.
They had, my friends, a pet agency
which they regarded supreme in every
emergency, bribery. In this they had the
most implicit confidence as the most effee
tive means for accomplishing their basest
designs. Having resolved, as a last resort,
upon the crucifixion of the Master, who
was the source of all light and truth and
justice, they found one disciple willing
to betray him for a money consideration,
for a bribe price deliberately agreed upon.
(With all the enormity and ignominy of
the offence, poor Judas has been a much
slandered man by those who "appear out
wardly righteous unto men," for under
strong remorse he "threw down" the
bribe money and would none of it. Show
me, my friends, a similar example of re
morse in modern times). The chief priests
and Scribes and elders entered into secret
conclave, and sent out a multitude "with
swords and staves" to arrest the Master.
Then followed the mockery of all mock
eries. They organized a mock court with
Caiaphas as judge and the Scribes and
elders as prosecutors and jurymen. They
"sought witness against Jesus to put him
to death." Bufcpie evidence was confused
and irrelevant. ? 'Tis true "there arose
certain and bare false witness against
him," but their evidence also disagreed,
although they brought all manner of false
accusations against him. Had such a
thing then existed they no doubt would
have shouted "Bum, Romanism and Re
bellion." To failtin their nefarious scheme
was not to be thought of, and the judge
took him in hand, and extorted from him
the avowal that he was the Son of God.
This avowal was construed by the court to
be blasphemy; whereupon, "they all con
demned him to-be guilty of death." In
all this, my friends, you sec the extremity
to which their assumptions of power and
their corrupt administration of govern
ment had driven them. The arrest was a
summary proceeding without warrant and
without authority of law. The judge was
a partisan judge, the prosecutors and jury
men were partisans who had prejudged
the case, the witnesses were suborned par
tisan witnesses, the sentence was partisan
and malicious in the highest degree. In
deed the whole proceedings and the court
itself were in violation of the Mosaic con
stitution and laws. Of this they were
conscious, for there was no law with the
death penalty attached against blasphemy,
and hey well knew they dare not crucify
him without some other authority. Had
it been in our times they wonld no doubt
have shot him down under the pretext of
self-defence. However,, they carried the
case up to Pilate's court where prosecutors,
jurymen, and the judge himself became
witnesses, and who stirred up the multi
tude to the point of a riot. Having by their
riotous conduct intimidated a weak judge,
they procured a death sentence and saw
with malicious pleasure the crucifixion of
"the just one.'' But still they were ill at ease
on account of the Master's utterances about
the resurrection, and when the guard con

urmeu tueir lears oy announcing me resur
rection, they immediately resorted to their
sovereign remedy in all extremities, bribe
ry. They offered "large money to the
soldiers " to make a given statement, and
the guard took it and told the story as
they were bidden. Was ever portraiture
more exact, nearer life-like, than the words
of our Lord to the Scribes and Pharisees
when he said, "ye are like unto whited
sepulchres," "ye outwardly appear righte
ous unto men, but within ye are full of
hypocrisy and iniquity."
Is it needful, Jmy friends, that I should
trace the parallel? Tou have, no doubt,
already made the application. The white
washed exterior of public officials, who
have put on the semblance of righteous
ness, but within were full of hypocrisy
and iniquity; the general corruption
which has prevailed in governmental af
fairs, the hatred of the good, the noto
rious infractions of constitutional law, the
institution of mock courts and the corrup
tion of the fountains of justice, the par
tisan character of trials in exculpating the
guilty and condemning the innocent on
party grounds, the fear of exposure, the
deception for concealment of official crime,
the subornation of witnesses, the trickery
in inciting election riots, the appeals to
race ignorance with -a view to arouse a
sanguinary spirit which would endanger
the innocent women and.children, and the
general struggle to crucify all opposition,
are matters of history, and make up a cat
alogue in no way less than that laid at the
door of the Scribes and Pharisees by the
Searcher of Hearts. We shall, my friends,
see in the sequel how the Almighty the
Judge Eternal treats national iniquities;
how he tears to shreds the cloak of hypoc
risy; how he deals with tyrants and

we shall see the cause of right and truth

A guest at a fashionable reception nar
rates that he overheard a sixteen-year-old
dandy say to a still younger belle : "I am
glad that my family got out of trade fifty
years ago. My father was never in busi
ness, but devoted himself to science as a
hobby. He made several discoveries, vou
know, that have got a permanent place in
the books. " Then he looked into the girl's
face for admiring wonder, but saw only
gentle commiseration: "So vour poor papa
had employment?" she said-ind then
with a gleam of proud disdain she added :
"My father never, never, did anything at
