As the main cause of the separation has
been removed, so has the chief obstacle to
the restoration.
It is fitting that the Mi thodist Church,
which began the disunion, should not be
the lust to achieve the ic-oiiion ; and it
wonld be a reproach of the chief pastors
of the separated bodies if they waited un
til their flocks prompted them to the liaiou,
vhich botli the love of country, and of re
ligion invoke, and which the Providence
of God sei ins to render inevitable ut no

Althouirh our late General Conference
did not directly authoiise us to- take fur

judge that some of its acta justify advan-

taken t- it by that body.

Elliot went for his horse to his bum,

in seeming surprise.
"Yes, I jined the cureh thirty year

We arc glad to see that tho attention
of tho Northern public is being culled to
one of the greatest "social evils" of the
day. It was an Episcopal Bishop who
first sounded the note of alarm. Now we
have the following from the Old School
Presbyterian Assembly now in session in
New York :
Divorce and Infantcide. The Rev.
Mr Becis read the following paper on this
subject, which was referred to the com
mittee on bills aud overtures :
Whereas, it is well known that unecrip
tural views of the marriage relation are
becoming prevalent in some parts of our
land, so that its obligations are disregard
ed by many, and separations of husband
and wife, and divorces for slight aud un
warrantable reasons are becoming more
frequent every year, and
Whereas, tho horrible crime of infant
cide is also on the increase, and
Whereas, the evils which these errors
nnd crimes have already brought upon
the Church and country, and the worse
which they threaten in tlie near future,
make il imperative that tho whole power
of the miuistry and Church of Jesus
Christ should he put forth in the main
tenance of the truth and virtue iu regard
to these things; Therefore.
R. solvcd 1st. That wc ubbo upon all
the Ministers of our Church the duty of
giving instruction to the people of their
respective charges as to tho Scriptural
docuiuc concerning the marriage relations
and that we warn them ngaiuat joining in
wedlock any who may have been divorced
upon other than Scriptural grounds; nnd
we also exhort Church sessions to the ex
ercise of due discipline in the cases of
those members who may be guilty of
violating the law of Christ in this partic
ular. 2d. That w e regard the destruction by
parents of thrir own effspring, before
birth, with abhorrence, as a crime against
God and against nature, and that ns I here
are many iuducuces at work, in public
and in secret, to corrupt the minds of the
people, until the frequency of such mur
ders is no longer sought to be concealed,
we hereby warn those that are guilty of
this crime, that they cannot inherit eter
nal life, and that it is vilo hypocricy for
such persons to remain in connection with
the visible Church of Christ: and that
we exhoit those who have been called to
preach the- goapel, and all who love puri
ty and the ti ulh, aud who would avert
the just .judgments of, Almighty God
from the Church aud nation, that they he
no longer silent or tolerant of these
things, but that they take a bolil stand,

SKIZJ) BY A LION.
Dr. Livingstone, the African traveller,
gives the Allowing account of being seiz
ed by a Hon, and of his sensations :
"Starting aud looking half around I
saw the lion just in the act of sprin
upon me. i was upon a little hekrnr
17 1 V " , -i -oi -
wo both came to tho ground below to
gether. Growling horribly close to my
ear, ho shook mo as a terrier does a rat.
The shock produced a stupor similar to
that which seems to be felt by a mous
after the first shake of the cat. It cause,
a sort of dreaminess, iu which there was
no sense of pain nor feeling of terror,
though quite conscious of all that was
happening.""!!' was tike what patients
partially under the influcnoo of chloro
form describe, who see all the operations,
but fed not the knifo. This singular
condition was not the result of any men
tal process. The shake anihilated fear,
and allowed no sense of horror in looking
around at the beast. This peculiar statu
is probably induced in all animals killed
by the carnivora, and if so, a merciful
provision by our benevolent Creator for
lessening the pain of death. Turning
around to relieve myself the weight, as he
had one paw on the back of my head, i
saw his eyes directed te Mebalwe, who
was trying" to shoot him. His gun missed
fire, and the lion immediately reft ma."
OVERWORK.
There was William Pitt, dead at forty
nine, carrying tho British Empire on his
for a quarter of a century, and attempt
ing to carry a pint of port wine daily and
a pinch of opium in his stomach, and
foiinderi- g in mid-ocean from this over
cargo. What a reck was that when
Brinsley Sheridan went to pieces on tba
breakers of intemperance and overwork!
There, too, was Mirabeau, that prodigy
of strength and health, of versatility and
splendid talent, killed by the overwhelm
ing labors and excitements of the tribune
and the orgies of Cyriau bells. Sergeant
S. Prentiss attempted the double task,
and if eqer a man might with impunity,
he could, with leonine health and mar
velous mental gifts. Said a distinguished
Mississippi lawyer to me, "Prentiss
would sit up all night gambling and
then go into court next day and make a
better plea in all respects than I conld, or
any body else at the bar of our State,
even though we studied onr ease half the
night and slept the rest." lie tried it,
and in the trying burned to the socket in
forty-one years the lamp of life that had
been trimmed to last fourscore. A draft
upon the constitution in behalf of ap
petite is just as much a draft as in behalt
of work ; and if both are habitually pre
ferred together, bankruptcy and ruin are
sure and swift. From Using Strkissth

Men tcithout Hearts. -We sometimes
meet with men who seem to think that
any indulgence in an affectionate feelii
is weakness. They will return from n
journey and greet their families with a
distant dignity, and move among childn :i
with tho cold and lofty splendor of an ice
berg surrounded by its broken fragments.
There is hardly a more unnatural sight
on earth than otic of these without a heart
A father had better extinguish a boy .
eyes than lake away his heart. Who that
has experienced the joys of friendship,
and values sympathy and affection, would
not rather lose all tbat is beautiful in na
ture's scenery than be robbed of the hid
den treasures of his heart. Cherish, then
youiJjeaft's best affections. Indulge in
tne wahji and gushing emotions of filial,
pat rual and fraternal love. Miss Ma
