Adam (search for this): article 2
animate as well as inanimate, is designed to answer some great moral end, and the Scriptures tell us what it is. It is to display, in as clear a light as possible, the perfections of the Divine nature. Perfect goodness and immutable justice are among the attributes of the Divinity. The blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who died to save a world lying under condemnation from utter destruction, vindicated the honor of the broken law. This Saviour was announced at the time of Adam's fall, four thousand years before his appearance on earth. From the Scriptures we learn that various means have been adopted, at different times, to warn the world that it lay under condemnation for sin. As the universe was for a great moral purpose, to wit, the more perfect display of the Divine attributes, every event that occurs in it is to be viewed in connection with this Holy Law, established by the Creator himself. Man is in a state of sin in this world, and all he undergoe
Carmi (Illinois, United States) (search for this): article 2
but he was inspired, and acted immediately under the direction of Heaven. He had been especially assigned to the duty of extirpating the Heathen from the land of Canaan. An expedition which he sent against the town of Ar was repulsed, and he immediately saw that some great sin had been committed, which had drawn down the vengeance of Heaven. What it was, he knew not; but he inquired of Heaven by prayer and sacrifice, and was thereby enabled to discover. He learned that Achan, the son of Carmi, had partaken of the accursed thing, and he punished the offence by cutting him off, with all his descendants. This expiation made, he proceeded to cancel the land and divide it out according to the Divine command. This day it is expected that this whole Confederacy will prostrate itself in prayer at the footstool of Omnipotence. Let the proclamation be strictly obeyed in that. Let all do it. Let them pour out their hearts to God, and repent of their sins in sackcloth and ashes, if t

favors our enemies in opposition to us. Sometimes — nay, very often,--when He designs that an enterprise shall succeed in the end, He punishes those whom he designs to succeed in the end by temporary failure. There are many instances to prove this fact in Scripture, but one will suffice.--Joshua was not only a good and great man, but he was inspired, and acted immediately under the direction of Heaven. He had been especially assigned to the duty of extirpating the Heathen from the land of Canaan. An expedition which he sent against the town of Ar was repulsed, and he immediately saw that some great sin had been committed, which had drawn down the vengeance of Heaven.

De Quincey (search for this): article 3
De Quincey once wrote a neat little esthetic essay on "Murder Considered as one of the Fine Arts." Murders, he maintained, have their little differences and shades of merit, as well as statues, pictures, cameos and the like. The performance of Cain was the first infancy of the art, and a good many modern murders are quite as deficient in taste, finish and scenical grouping. This connoisseur of homicide admits that murder is a dangerous, as well as difficult branch, and that "if a man once indulges in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination. Many a man has dated his ruin from some murder that perhaps he thought little of at the time." He tells of a brother connoisseur who had become gloomy and misanthropically over the cleaver and paving stone character of modern murders, and looked upon the French Revolution as the great cause of degeneration in the

and the Southern the bride. This symbol of wedlock is the favorite mode of looking at the thing from a Northern point of observation. The bride,--refractory and false, of course, --but still the bride, who promised to "love, honor and obey," and said at the altar, "With all my worldly goods I thee endow!" Nothing in history, in poetry, or in fable, equals the devotion of the Northern bridegroom to the false Southern bride, except the inexhaustible assiduity of Menelaus to Helen after Paris had run away with his incomparable spouse. Menelaus persisting in running after Helen, after Helen had run away from him, is the only instance of such constancy on record. But Helen, with all her faults, was the animating soul of a great epic, and we do not wonder at the bewildered husband walking his deserted halls and feeding his love by gazing upon the many statues of his truant flame. But here the parallel comes to a halt. If Brother Jonathan had contented himself with the moral suas

have been back in his loving arms. But Jonathan is not of the Greeks.--He is descended from John, surnamed Bull. And John is not a man to be trifid with in marital relations. When his wife or his donkey kicks up, he wallops 'em. Punch and Judy represent the standard of British sentiment on that interesting subject. There is not as popular an exhibition in all the streets of London as that merry villain, Punch.--Men of all grades gather at the sound of Punch's trumpet, but rarely women. The best of all jokes in the world is the terrific cudgeling which the mirthful tyrant administers to the luckless Judy and her child. It is Punch and Judy, and not Menelaus and Helen, that represent the Anglo-American idea of political wedlock. We have never been able to appreciate, however, the choice analogy of the Union to man and wife, the North being the man. When did the South accept the position of a "minister angel" to the North; when promise to endow it with sovereignty and cha
