THE ADVERTISER.
BROWXVILLE, NEB.,
THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 26, 167J.
amm mhimMmm,-
For the Advertiser.
PHYSICAL CULTURE.
It is one of the errors of men aud
women to have a too low estimate of
human existence ; not to fully realize
what it is to be a thinking being ; a
moral intelligencer. Men aud wo
men do not stop to reflect who they
are, and where they are, and whither
they are going. Do not stop long
enough to consider that the improve"
inent of their time, the culture of
their talents, will determine what
they may be, and where they shall be.
The state or condition an individual
is in ; the sphere ha occupies compre
hends all that may be said of him.
The Infinite One possesses all that
appertains lo pure intelligence ; pos
sesses all that Is lovely in moral attri
bute; possesses all the divinity of
spirit, aud fills the immensity of
space. There is no place where he is
not ; he cannot become better or wis
er, or greater ; he cannot rise" higher,
or sink lower, for he fills the measure
of infinite perfection.
All finite intelligences are inferior,
of course, to the one infinite intelli
genceGod. Other beings may be
Lite same in kind, but not in degree.
The lesser cannot equal the greater,
but the greater contains the lesser.
The finite intelligences are continu
ally attracted and drawn toward the
supreme intelligence. They are less
er Gods, reaching up after the infinite,
and, as the ages roll along in the
eternities, put on more of the image
of the supreme God. Ihen in these
innumerable hosts of intelligence, in
varied degrees, from the lowest order
to the Christsannointed by Jehovah.
Wherp is man ami whither is he go
ing ? This might be asked of him as
a race ; but it would be well for each
individual to ask himself: "Can you
answer? Can I?" Here we are to-
tlay, looking around for ways to solve
the mysteries of human existence ;
reaching up afler knowledge ;' grasp
ing after hapiuK-s ; but in the to-morrow
; the to-morrow of the great here
after, where will we be? To what
heights will we have climbed? Il
what glorified bodies will we shine.
All depends upon the training, cul
ture and education we give the pow
ers ami faculties given us ; in the way
we receive the influences from the-
"Heavenly places ;" in the way we
use the influences of the external
world to create an internal Heaven
for it is not a place alone, hut condi
tion of spirit, which makes Paradise.
It was to this fact that tne Master re
ferred when he said to his deciples :
"The kingdom of God is within you."
Each individual is a king, and it de
pends on his skill in governing
whether his kingdom shall lie a des
potism, where cruelty, oppression,
slavery, tyranny, ami all manner of
abominations revel and hold riot, a
kingdom of Satanic darkness a hell,
or whether it shall be one of light
and beauty and order ; a government
of righteousness, working out "peace
on earth, and good will toward men;"
a heaven. Men and women have be
come as God, kuowiug good and evil,
let them, therefore, flee from that
which is evil and "cleave unto that
which is good."
Spirit manifests itself through ma
terial forms ; so the spirit of man
manifests itself through the physical
organism. We talk of the improve
ment of mind ; the duty of moral cul
ture, and this is all right. Too much
cannot be said about it, if said to the
purpose ; but it is too often forgotten
that this culture, this improvement is
to be effected through the medium of
the body. This is what the human
hotly is for to develop the. spiritual
man. Spirit ever desires a body.
Paul in his asperatious aflera high
er life aud a more spiritual body, said
he had a uesire to depart, or lo leave
this earthly tabernacle, to be disolv
ed ; not that he wistyed to be found
unclothed, or without a body, but
that he might be clothed with his
heavenly body.
The human body then, is the medi
um through which the spirit of man
manifests itself ; and here comes in a
fearful fact, that spirit cannot give a
fair and correct representation of it-
i sell without a sound and healthy con
dition of body. A perception of this
tact is the gi eat want of the time.
The great need of tlie day is physical
culture. When a knowledge of this,
need is attained it should grow up in
to wisdom for wisdom is practical i
knowledge. It avails but little lo
know these things if they are not
made practical. This wisdom should
become universal, for a few isolated
individuals here and there, to attempt
stdf government, aud strictly obey
the laws of health, may be like green
and fiuitful shoots in the desert waste
of human error; like springs of pure1
water among the poisonous aud fes
tering cesspools of corrupt humaui
ty. But the world needs a thorough
instruction and reformation in these
things. .'
The will ever be.A'iasurhaouutable
influences" in the wj.y ofjndjyiduate
arriving to very great lieigh'tsbf. per
fection in physical culture, until the
masses are reformed. Custom and
fashion, however ruinous and suicid
al they may be, are powerful and
their poisonous influences, like a tem
pestuous oceuiu goes sweeping every
where, ami It is difficult to escape be
ing spattered with their filthy waters.
It is true some natures will go on ad-
, ding strength to strength, in spito of
all the evil influences around them,
without .feeling somewhere in their
nature the re-action of the struggle.
Like the sturdy oak, which stands
firm amid the storm of elements, and
sends out its clustering branches high
in air as the heat of summer and cold
ol winter come and go with their de
stroying influences. Others again,
-who seek after both physical and mor
al perfection, are so exquisitely sensi
tive that they stand and shiver as the
cold blasts of scorn from vulgar
minds, sweep arouud them; they
I tremble when the heavy-hand of pol
luted fashion is raised to crush them.
They become more and more isolated,
as they become more refined and an
gelic, until thei' seem to be beings of
some fairer dime, shrinking from the
usages of this rough world ; at last
the weary spirit leaves for more con
genial skies.
Perhaps when the rewards of etern
ity are revealed it will be seen that
many a bright, beautiful spirit has
early left the earth when it might
longer have blessed it, had it not been
lor the cruelty and injustice of igno
rant men and women. It is not only
tho.se who plunge the dagger in the
heart of their victims that break the
commandment, not to kill, but "who
soever hateth his brother is a murder
er." It is a fearful thing to treat with
harshness and unkindness, a pure
and sensitive nature. "Better that a
mill stone was hang'ed about his neck
and he cast in the depths of the sea."
The fearful consequences following
the neglect of physical culture may
be seen every day in the deformity of
body; n the physical suffering; the
disregard for human life among the
people. You mothers who tuck away
warm at night, your little ones, and
are continually watching for their
comfort, think of the thousands of.
little ones, wandering, hungry and
cold, homeless and friendless ; lit le I
waifs floating among the scum and
tlrift of the surging and impure
streams of ignorance and error. If
any of these survive their blasted
I childhood, what blots and blanks on
the pages recording the history of hu-H
inanity. Is there a proper regard for
the physical training of these little
intelligences, whose existence helps
to give character to man as an intel
lectual and moral being?
As each drop of water helps to
swell the voluinn of the mighty deep,
so each indi-idua! who appears on
the earth has a mission to perform,
and that mission should she respected !
let it be what it may, and ever' ef
fort should be made to develope, and
cultivate the powers of the individu
al intellectually, morally, physically
and spiritually, so that mission may
be performed with honor, but, by all
means, attend to the physical first
not because, in its. If, it is of the great
est importance it may be the least ;
but because of this pioper physical
training, the intellectual and moral
are to be developed. This letting the
masses of the people run into all the
follies of ignorance ; into all the mad
ness of transgressions; suffering all
the horrors of poverty, and crying,
I am not my brother's keeper ; I am
holier than thou, is a terrible sin
against humanity ; a high-handed
crime against heaven, God and na
ture acknowledges no aristocratic cir
cles ; no plebian mobs, but man a
brotherhood.
The voice of divinity and cultured
humanity cry, "go into the highways
and ditcher of poverty aud want, and
bring in the poor and cast-away, and
bid them come to the feast , go to the
secluded by-ways, where the unsus
pecting have fallen among thieves,
bind up their wounds and bruises,
and if they have no money to pay for
the care taken of them in their help
lessness, pay it from thine own purse,
aud, verily, thou shall have reward
in heaven."
Pity that all people in general, and
some in particular could not have a
vision, like Peter, of a sheet let dowji
from heaven, full of all manner of
four-footed beasts and creeping things,
teaching him, as he said, not to call
any man common. May be all men
might have such visions us Peter, but
what has all this to do with pysical
culture? Much, every way, in as
much as a great amount, if not all,
the evil in the world, is caused by the
transgression of the physical laws
which govern the body ; the body be
ing the medium through which the
spirit manifests' itself. There are
many chambers in the soul, contain
ing rare treasures ; the doors of which
tire bolted and barred for an entire
lifetime by a diseased or an imperfect
ly developed body, sjome extreme
emergency may sometimesOpen these
closed doors of the soul, and for a mo
ment their hiden glories shine forth,
then again the doors are closed.
Man's highest attainment on earth,
is his experiences coming out of his
spiritual growth. The spiritual de
generacy of thp times, is caused by
the physical degeneracy of the body.
.Men have been going backwards into
materialistic night. The physical or
ganization unstrung, undeveloped,
out of tune, an unfit instrument for
the soul to display spiritual illumiua
tions.
.
. Many pens are at work trying to
'arouse the people to a sense of ..this
great evil. Ihe Journals of the day
contain excellent articles from deep
thinkers, and rare scholars; but some
how many. of them ti although, prepar
ed with "great care audarnfngr seem

J production at least,' and that is the
j end of it. It seems there is a need of I
an inspiration and eloquence to rouse
the people from the deep, death-like
slumber which has fallen upon them.
If men and u omen could only free

tlie follies of ignorance; into the ru

they would strive as much for health

ATPrNWALL, Jan. 10.
Mr. Editor: While the question
of Temperance is receiving attention
in your paper, I beg to be allowed a
few suggestions. I am aware that
"Occasional" is an earnest- worker in
the cause, and I concur in most that
he says, but upon one point I must
differ with him.
He says that the day in which any
thing can be accomplished by talking
on the subject of temperance is past,
and while I am aware that there is a
great deal of apathy on the subject,
yet I cannot agree that to remain
silent would be good policy. Indeed,
with the best laws that can be enacted
on the subject, there will be constant
need of renewing the agitation upon
the question ; otherwise the law will
become what many others are, a 'dead
letter,' aud nothing be accomplished.
No; let us not be silent nor discour
aged, though the moral degradation
aud gloom, uround, does seem so deep
and dark, that it looks like folly to
try to illumiuate it by our feeble light,
let us ever remember that:
"Rlfflit is right, since God 13 God,
And ngtit, UioU.iystsall win;
To doubt would be disloyally,
To Inller would be sin."
Shall the rumseller flaunt defiance
at morality, and rejoice in the moral
ruin that his tiafic is producing, aud
the brawling drunkard publish his
shame with impunity, aud good men
and women remain silent while all
this moral and social degradation is
staring them in the face, and threat
ening the utter annihilation of Chris
tianity and civilization?
.Say; the voice of 'remonstrance
must be heard ; for while the woes
aud miseries of intemperance arc dai-
iy diiserveJ). tiiere are many, very
many, things to delude the youth,
and lead them into dens where the
poison is sold. Not only that, but (to
the shame of our sex be itsaid,) many
young ladies of the present day in
stead of remonstrating with young
men, actually prefer the company of
the drunkard, to that of the sober
young man, because, perhaps he
wears good clothes, or rides in a car
riage, thus reully commending the
drunkard and Iibereii.e. and discour
aging sobriety and decency.
Then let the voice of wurnii.g be
raised everywhere. Let it be jreach
ed from our pulpits; talked from our
lecture rooms ; taught by our teach
ers, aud last but not least, let it be
heard iu the social circle, and let us
not hold our peace while this cursed
bane of society is year after year drag
ging down lo Ihe grave, its thousands
of victims, aud making living wrecks
of thousands more.
Permit me once more to say that we
must not, nay, cannot be silent. The
very air is poisoned 'by the noxious
effluvia ami more noxious language,
arisiug from the dens of infamy,
where men are made beasts, by in
dulging in the vile poisons sold there.
Our ears are tortured by the hideous
sounds, and all our senses shocked at
what we must daily see and hear, anil
if Christianity did not bid us cry out
against this more than barbarity,
humanity would.
Yea let the notes" of warning be
raised till the last Vestage of the reign
of ihv fiend is swept away.

DEDICATION OP THE M. E. CHURCH
AT I'iiRC.
Mr. Editor. The dedication of
tlie new M. E. Church at Peru, took
place on New Year's day, and was of
a highly interesting character.
Providence seemed to favor the oc
casion by giving a bright and beauti
fill day, more like October than invii'
winter. Quite early iu the morning
wagons and carriages from the sur
rounding country were seen wending
their way to the place so soon to be
setajiart for the worship of Almigh
ty God, and to become a centre of iiii
terest to many christian hearts, anil
when the hour of service had arrived
the house, including gallery was well
filled by an expectautyet orderly con
gregation. The exercises commenced with a
volunuiryriy the choir accompanied
with ihe organ presided over by Prof.
Smith, of the State Normal School.
The introductory service was read,
aud an earnest and appropriate pray
er offered by Rev. M. Prichurd, fol
lowed by. the singing of the 967th
hymn.
The first Scripture lesson consisted
of parts of the 6th and 7th chapters of
2d Chron., was read by Bev.. H.
Burch ; the second lesson, Heb. X, 10
26, by Rev. D. B. Lake. The reading
of the Scriptures was followed by
singing.the 969th hymn, after, which.

It was then announced that there
was an6indebtedncs3 on the house
amounting to about fourteen hundred
doll-irs, and the congregation respond
ed by a subscription of over eleven
hundred dollars, which has since been
sufficiently increased to cover the en
tire indebtedness. The 122d Psalm
was then read, and Prof. Mclvenzie
in behalf of the trustees presented
the building for dedication, and the
solemn dedicatory service, contained
in the Methodist discipline, was read
in an impressive manner by Rev. T.
B. Lemon.
After doxology and benediction tlie
cougregation dispersed extending to
each other warm congratulations ov
er the decided success of the day, and
expressing in their countenances the
joy and gratitude they felt at so hap
py a termination of their toil and sac
rifice. The church is a neat substantial
frame structure, containing an audi
ence room 34x50 feet ; au end gallery,
which can be converted into a lec-
ture room by means of folding doors
hung in front; a vestibule class-room
and minister's office, the latter con
taining the Sunday School Library
case, large enough to contain five
hundred volumes. The church has a
center tower, and when completely
furnished, including bell ami organ,
will cost over four thousand dollars
and is another monument to the be-
nevolence and enterprise of the good

Mr. Hitchcock, United States Sen
ator elect, who will take the seat va
cated by Gen. John M. Thayer next
March, has long been known in the
political circles of Nebraska. He is a
son of a noted college professor of
that name and son-in-law of Dr. G.
C. Monell, one of tiie oldest residents
of Omaha. Mr. Hitchcock was ap
pointed by Mr. Lincoln, U. S. Marsh
al for Nebraska in lSGSi and held that
position until he was elected Delegate
to Congtess from the Territory, to
succeed Sam. Daily, iu '01. His com
petitor in the race was Dr. Miller, of
the Jlerrld, and its the two political
uarlies were then pretty evenly bal
anced, the campaign was an earnest
and exciting one. Mr. H. was elect
ed by a handsome majority, and took
his sea' iu tlie Congress of 'Go.
Though not a speech maker, Mr.
Hitchcock proved, while at Washing
ton, a most earnest and efficient work
er for the interests of the Territory,
and succeeded iu obtaining iiiueh fa
vorable legislation and a considerable
amount of official recognition for the
embryo State.
His term expired a day or two pre
vious to the admission of Nebraska
into the Union. He was soon after
appointed Surveyor General of this
State aud Towa, with headquarters at
Plattsmouth, and held the office un
til the close of Mr. Johnson's admin
istration. He is u shrewd and active
politician, and has the faculty of re
taining his friends through evil and
ejood
renort.
We believe that his career in the
Senate will bean honorable ami suc
cessful one that his great object and
aim will be to promote the material
interests of our State, ami lahor iu
the common cause of lleptiblicanism.

My Dear Sin: I don't know that
I can better employ the lew remain
ing hours of the waning year than iu
an clfort to correct what I esteem to
be an erroneous bias of opinion in fin
ancial matters of my friend, the for
mer "President of the Board of
Health."
He believes, or thinks he believes
which is pretty much the same thing
that it is the legitimate province of
the government to be the sole manu
factures and issuers of all the paper
money wanted in the country. 1 lake
it for granted, whether he avows it
or not, that his only -substantial rea
sou for so believing, is the saving or
making of interest which would ac
crue from the operation, and the con
sequent diminution of taxation.
1 say this because no other argu
ment "of any weight whatever lias
been urged in favor of thcgovernnien- !
tal exercise of such a power. Now
this plea itself, if nnalizod, can be
shown to be entirely fallacious in
fact can be converted into an argu
ment of precisely opposite hearing.
The cost to this country by the de
preciation of its credit, as a direct re
sult of the Legal Tender issue, evi
denced by the constantly diminishing
power of purchase of the notes them
selves as the issue went on, inereas
ii g up to its last dollar, cannot bo safe
ly estimated at less than SCO.J.nyO.OW,
or one-sixth of the whole dett.
My friend calls the issuing of these
little rectangular bits of engraved pa

other resources failing, and n.sa means
of paying its debts, or virtual confess
ion or poverty ami weakness, a pro
cess exactly equivalent to a debu-'e-meiit
of the coin of the realm, and al

would it have been for us to have
Hold tlie true obligations, the national

to have set flying these flimsy kites of

money i-ssiied by a government in
distress, as was ours during the civil
war. is the representative of destruc
tion and lost values, only to be re
placed by drafts upon the Industry of
the future. Paper money issued by
the banks to aid in the transportation
of produce and the exchange of com
modities, is the representative of a

TIIE ALABAMA.
An Appeal lo tlie People of tlift t-'nitctl
Struts.
From the Pall Mall Gazette, Ueo.'K.
The announcement made appar
ently on auth'irity, that the new
American minister jy ill be instructed
to reopen negotiations on the Alaba
ma claims will be received in England
with some surprise and more satisfac
tion. Ihe controversy between the
two countries is one which English
men need not be ashamed to own that
they heartily wish to see settled.
Whatever in ay be sab! in occasional
moments of irritation, the thought of
war with the United States would af
fect Englishmen with feelings of far
greater repugnance than the thought
of war with any other power. It docs
not follow from this tbat '-'icSi a war
is impossible, any more than it fol--lows
that family quarrels are impossi
ble because good men regard them
with exceptional dislike. But it doe,
follow that Englishmen may honora
bly make, and will be disposed to
make, greater efforts to avoid a war
with America than they would be
willing to make iu any aimilai case.
Nor is it only a matter of feeling with
them. There need be no hesitation
about admitting that the prospect or

to the liberality of our mentis to aid

the Society art not now sumVivittr to

keep pace with u larger liberality on
the part'ofitti frleud.. If the gratui

is rich, and has ample invested fund.
It Is truethat itowi.sthe Bible House,
which was ejected by the special eoit
tiihutioiisof friends in New York

Society : and this, with its manufac

the wise fi-rethoiiijhl and ben

t'r? best facilities for maniifacturinjc
books at the cheapest rates, ami for
steadily enlargm.; our benevolent
work. The Ih iff itself, therefore, is
of value to the Bible canne only an
funds are provided for maintaining
the operations which it was buiit to
promote. Beyond this, the Society
has. and intends to have, no perma-
neiit investment"-,. A temporarv
fund, fluctuating 1u amount, has .rap
pily served durinjr the last few ymirj
to save us frcm d ffieuities which the
ordinary receipts would have been m-
adequate to prevent. Yet, at the be-
ginning ot the present tls? year,
this tempo.-iry dejiosit amounted t
