With the present number, :our, obligations.to very many of our patrons are more than dis charged, and theirs to us are, as, we trust, plea santly renewed. This is especially the case in Philadelphia, and within the bounds of the Synod of Pennsylvania. With these subscribers. we are ready now for a settlement, and shall be happy to meet them iu our office, and hand them receipts for another year, in exchange for the usual pay ments. The okee will be found open DAILY FROM 9 o'oLoOK, A. /IS" TQ O'OLOWL sr., for this important service; important and satisfactory, in a high degree, it will be to us, if our offers are re sponded to, as we have reason to expect. A prompt attention to the matter will not be very difficult to individuals, while in the aggregate the result will be the furnishing of means urgently needed to carry on our paper. If our subscribers knew how great is the sum total of these, dues, so trifling in the individual oases, and how serious an embarrass ment it is to us to have the payment delayed, we believe they would flock in at once for settlement. The New York State subscribers will find bills in their papers of nest week. Subscribers in other portions of the country will receive theirs in the week following. " ANNALS OF THE POOR." LIGHT AMONG THE LOWLY. Let us again, dear reader, go among the lowly. Here is a wide covered alley in which you have wore than once caused your feet to pat, pat, upon its well worn path, viliting . (in thought) him who was "near three score," and others. But our errand to-day is not to see him, hut as we wind around with the stairs and pass his door, we can see his courageous face as he throws his shuttle, causing his loom to speak out its old familiar click-a-W.click, and if you will you may bid him "good day," but we must pass on and again climb the stairway, and enter a low roofed roomrappa rently the kitchen; but this is uninhabited, save by the form of an aged bobbin-winder, who is so busily engaged with the wheel and yarn, that he knows not of our presence, and we pass thence to the work-room of him whom we have called to He is a man in middle life, sober and very in telligent. His parents were Roman Catholics, and thus reared hiut in that way, as the one in which they thought he should go. He married, but his wife got to drinking, and, with herself; would have dragged him,down to the drunkard's grave. They parted, and he rented these rooms, and now for months he has been hard atovork on yonder loom; making his 24- cents per yard for weaving gingham and cheek. No liquor is ever allowed to cross his threshold. Let us now ap proach and introduce ourselves—do you see that smile of welcome? He has heard of the good substantial food sent to the consnrriptive below, through our mission. As he talks, it is a pleasure to see the light shining in this out of the way pi ec e. Re. seldom goes out except his work calls him to the ware-room or on necessary errands; but yonder upon a shelf is a spelling book, two arithmetios, and a small book of historic reference. These make 'hi& little library; and here at his leisure, he learns of their contents, all ambitious of becoming a sehobtr, and even now he has taught himself to cipher is far as the "rule of three," and talks familiarly of the dates when errors were introduced into the Christian Church, &c. Since he has been living in these rooms with his aged companion in labor, we have noticed the various little necessary additions he has made to his furniture and the steady progress he makes to wards lifting himself out of his misfortunes. He would spend part of Sunday in religious meetings, only he has not clothing to appear in , as other men do, and when we gently hint at supplying his need, be says, "I will be able in a fewinonths to clothe myself," and thanks us. His judgment has decided that the Roman Catholic church is filled with corruption—bow kindly he should be taken by the hand and led to the foot of the cross. digioato uttilietact. VRESBYTERIAN. A Worthy Tribute to the Memory of a Revered Clergyman.—The Nora American of a recent date says thervirtue, piety, and exemplary conduct of the late-Rev. George Chandler require no substantial or carved record for the present generation, for his un affectedly good qualities of head and heart are em balmed in the affectionate memories of all who knew him and of all who had heard of his amiable and truly religious character. But this eminent, divine was one of the shining lights of his day;; iddhisder votion to the service of his Master, both in faithand good works, well merit the distinction of being hand ed down ,to,after times as a pharos to guide mankind in all the dangers of darkness safely into the harbor of salvation and eternal happiness. The RM . ': Geo. Chandler was 'pastor of the Presbyterian Churclrat Kensington, and - equally respected 'during that entire Period for his blameless life, and for the zeal which he manifested in diffusing the sacred truths of the gospel. We are, therefore,,gratified to learn that the trustees of the church have granted a spot of ground, in front of the building, for the erection of 'a hand some and appropriate monument to his memory, sub scribed for by the citizens of Kensington, so that the scriptural remark might faithfully apply, that "Though he be dead, he yet speaketh." The con struction of the monument has been confided to Mr. R. H.-Day, whose marble yard is at the earner of , Marlbocaugh.and_Rich mond streets...in-0e EighteenA war - cf. It will be seventeen feet high'. The base IS' of blue Pennsylvania marble, with a second mould ing base of Italian marble, upon which rests the die. This IS of octagonal Gothic style, very elaborate in ornamentation, on the face'of which there is to be a bust of . the decease& Upon this rests the obelisk, which is octagon and panneled'; also very rich in de coration, in harmony with the die. • ' The' Whole will lid' 'surmounted by an' urn, which is richly carved tacorrespond with the other portions of the work, all except the base, being of the Italian Marble. The entire cost will be $lOOO, and the, mo nument will be completed early in September. Sunday School of the 2d Qhurch,William sport, Pa.-(Rev. Wm. Sterling, poster.) Mr. E. S.

St. Louis Presbyterian..--This journal ceased to be two weeks ago, and the next week there arose from its ashes two papers printed on one sheet, viz.: "Our Union," and "The. Presbyterian of bur Union." One of these papers says, "Terms for the two papers, a quarter eagle ($2.50) per annum, in advance." Both papers claim to be "published simultaneously in•St Louis, New York and New 'Orleans:" Is California a Free State I—A:new Cumberland Presbyterian Presbytery•in California has adopted "a by-law to the , effect that "no minister, licentiate; or candidate, shall be allowed to preach either for or against the institution of slavery," and that the Pres bytery "will entertain no. motion on that subject." Christian Sympathy.—At a meeting of the pas tors of the several Methodist ehurches of this City re cently, held in the Union M. B. Church, the follow ing expression of sympathy was given by' suggestion of Dr. F. Hodgson and A. Cookman:-- Resolved, By the Preachers' meeting of the M. E. Church, in the city of Philadelphia, that we have heard, with sincere sorrow, of the death of the vene rable Di. Neill, of the Presbyterian Church of- this city, and that, as far as possible, we will attend his funeral, to-day, at the Sixth Presbyterian Church. Rev. lames Wilson, dead.—We • have already chronicled the death of this youthful standard-bearer in our ranks, but , a recent number of the Central C. Herald gives some interesting facts, from which We gather the following. Mr. Wilson 'was not yet 29 years of age, having been born October 14th, 1831. He was a native of Ohio, He was a child of the co venant, given.to God renewedly in the prayers- of a dying father, and designed for the Ministry, yet he had gone through college, married, and gone into the weeds of Indiana an unconverted man: Things could not, remain so long, for God hears prayer and keeps covenant. In 1856, he and his companion were both born again. He turned his attention imme dintely-te-Theolozrend entered the - Junior Class in Lane Theological Seniiirtabl - finu - grutius4ed_in May. 1858, The Congregatibnal Church in Auggles, Ash land Co., 0., January Ist, 1860, unanimously asked Presbytery to ordain him to the work of the gospel I ministry, and install him pastor of the church. This Fresbytery did on the 23d of February, 1860; and such was the heartiness of the relation constituted, that the prospects of the church seemed bright, and Christians took courage. In less than : four months time, his two children, two and four years old, were taken away from him, and the father and mother pros trated with severe sickness, from which the former never afterward recovered. When, it was evident that he could not recover, that his work as a minister of Christ was done, he said, "I wish to live that I may stand up and preach Jesus, but if my Heavenly Fa ther is going to take me home, lam content,-1 am willing to go on, or to stop,—just as it is the will of my Master." Said he again—"lf my work is done,—if I can preach no more to my people,—carry me back and let me die'among thent—let my death preach to them." When told that this could not be done, he was too near gone; said he—" Then, when I am dead, take my remains and bury them among my people, beside my children, and let my silent grave preach Jesus . and the resurrection." We promised to do it, and we did it He died,July 18th, and was buried at Ruggles, amid a sorrowing afflicted people. Pike's Peak.—The Congregationalists have united with the New and Old School Presbyterians in form ing , a union church in Mountain City, in Gregory's Gulch, which numbers fifty members, being One week's growth. We have a confession of faith such as is in•common use, and a covenant suitable to our circumstances, . and deacons, &a. Rev. Lewis Hamil ton, a New School Presbyterian minister, preaches regularly for us. In connection with this effort, yea.

A Sabbath school has also been started in Nevada Gulch, which is also a union effort, and is very pros perous.—Janesville Gazette. ' The United 1 3 resbyterian congregation 'of Bala. more has obtained a lot in that city, at a cost of $B,OOO, and is engaged in erecting thereon a Church edifice at a cost of about $12,000. Resignation Not Aceepted.—As the congrega tion of, the . Alexander Presbyterian Church, Nine teenth, and Green streets, refused to accept the resig nation recently tendered by their pastor,: the Rev. Alfred Nevin, D..D., the latter has resumed his pas toral duties. . CONGREGATIONAL: Missionary vi.amed.—Mr. N. T. Gilbert, a grit dude of Andover, of the class of 1859, was ordained as rtiissionary;`July I.Bth, at Rutland, Vt. He ex , peels to go out as - a missionary. to. Chili, South .Ame rica,,under the direction of the American and Foreign Christian Union.' The last, year he has ,been pre paring himself especially for his work by the study of the Spanish language. Mr. Beaubien; Once More.—We deeply regret to learn, says the Congregationalist, that the appeal Which this excellent, man has been making in New England for the French people in Chicago, and else where,. who' have left the .Roman Catholic thureh, and become Protestants and Independents, has_thes far met_ with return, except in the way of kind words—which neither "butter parsnips " nor build chapels. Mr. B. hassince returned to the West to take Charge of Father Chiniquy's field during the absence of the latter in Europe. New Colony, Chureh and College.—A new Con gregational Church was formed at Benzonia in Lee lenan Co., Mich., on the 10thofJune,1860. Twenty six members united in covenant, and others will join them at the next communion. This- church is the nucleus of a colony of agriculturists, mostly of the Congregational persuasion, who have located in a fine agricultural region in the centre of which are _laid out sites fora town and college. The adjacent lands will be occupied mostly by families who seek to extend Christ's kingdom, while they enjoy religious privi leges, and procure educational and social advantages for their children.—C'ong. Herald.' • Presbyterians in New England. —A corre spondent of the Boston Recorder writing from Bridge port, Conn., says:— " We and glad to welcome our Presbyterian bre thren in New England T here the common good' can be promoted by their planting churches. But Con gregationalism mast purge itself of its own errors, or it never will be - purged. And the withdrawal of one strong and sound Man is"not only a loss to us, but a saariftee of the common good." Death of Rev. Noah Emerson.—The American Missionary contains the intelligence that this vene rable minister of. Christ, long a resident of Hollis in this, State, died July, 9th, at the reservation of the Shinnecock Indians, in tbe town of South Hampton, Long Island. He commenced his labors there early in May, and continued them till his death. He was seized with paralysis on the Sabbath after having preached twice, and attended a' Bible class, and died about half past twelve on Monday morning. Though be labored in behalf of the Association and under its commission, he expressly stipulated without pay." Mr. Emerson was a brother of Rev. Brown Emer son, D. D, of Salem, Mess., and of the late Rev. Reu ben Emerion, of South Reading, Mass. He was born in Hollis, we believe, in October, 1787, and was con sequently in the 73d year of his age at the time of his death. He graduated at Middlebury College in 1814, studied theology at Andover in 1814-17, la bored as a missionary in Maine, Vermont, Massachu setts and Georgia in 1817-25, became pastor of the Congregational Church in Baldwin, Me., in 1825, where be labored nearly quarter of a century. In 185 U he labored as a missionary of the N. H. Mis sionary Society in Enfield. He was an esteemed and usefurthinister of the gospel. LUTHERAN. The Present Condition of the Churoh.—The forthcoming number of the Evangelical &anew for Oc tober, in its review , of AL Krautii's sermon on Chris tian Libertg, draws a gloomy picture of the present position of the Lutheran Church in the United States. There is a great want of harmony between the na tives of different countries. The Church has one Ge neral Synod, embracing twenty-six district Synods, but there are ten Synods which still refuse to extend ihe hand of fraternal fellowship to those thus asso ciated. Nor does even the 'external union of the Ge neral Synod secure in ternnl union among its members. Different Synods exist , upon the same territory in New York, in Pennsylvania, in Maryland, and in Ohio. These divisions have, indeed, been partly caused by differences originating before their associations, in the General Synod, but not even their coalescence in the General Synod has been able to heal these unfortu, nate division& It is farther notorious that not one fourth of the children of emigrants who have lost the language of their Lutheran fathers, enter the Luthe ran-Church which employs the English language in its sacred services:' But that they enter other Eng lish communions, is equally well known. Every where, in city and in country, the descendants of Lu therans are found in large bodies in the Episcopal, Presbyterian, Methodist, and other , non-Lutheran re ligious bodies Nearly all the descendants of the Swedes who settled upon the Delaware more than two hundred years ago, and who make so large a propor tion of the population of Philadelphia and the sur rounding country in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey, are now in the Episcopal and other Eng lish churches: The English Lutheran Churches in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburg, Chi cago, and St. Louis, surrounded by hundreds of thou sands of German& whose children are every day learn ing to speak English, are snlesHltaxasooh.h,, -to notice thetrlirlielidtirkinevin or felt in any, of those great centres and motive powers of American life and business. Philadelphia barely numbers live English - Lutheran Churches, with a couple of thou sand communicants, where it ought to embrace at least one-third of the entire population, -with scores of churches for their aecommodation.—The Methodist. Bohemian Lutherans Coming.—The Missionary says that a new element is entering into our popula tion, from Bohemia, the land. of Huss and the "Re formere before the Reformation." In several places in the West, small settlementi of these our long•per secuted brethren are now being made. Especially in Wisconsin is there a considerable number of Bohe mian Protestants, though, unfortunately for them, most of them do not reside in sufficient numbers in one place to enjoy the ministrations of the gospel in their own tongue. But the immigration from Bohe mia once commenced, will assuredly continue. College Record. T , Pa.,l7mveastry. This Baptist Institution is represented as in a sound and flourishing condition. Its assets_show the cor poration to be worth $148,500. It comprises a colle giate and theological department, to which that of law ia expected to be added. Anita:am—Geological bird-tracks.—A correspond. ent of the Claridian Claroniele of this city, writing from• Amherst, says:—"Of course Dr. Hitchcock's collection of bird-tracks is unrivalled in the world. The Specimens are almost without number, and of all sizes from a tiny foot-print no bigger than a robin's to a huge impression a foot in length. You see a half-dozert successive steps of a bird which must haye been elephantine in its proportions. Nor is there any mistake—every claw and muscle, and even the structure of the skin is perfectly distinct). It would be well worth while to make a long jourbey if only to see Dr. Hitchcock's bird•tracks." As to the Commencement exereises, after highly applauding the addresses of Dr.. Thompson and Hon. Horace Maynard, of Tenn., whose parents, h& says, still reside near Amherst, he says:.—"l Wish I could continue these eulogistic remarks in speaking of the Commencement proper. But not even tie presence of Governor Banks with" his staff, brilliatt with gold lace and feathers, nor the finest brass band"of Boston could relieve it from the charge of htress. The speakers were, with two or three exceptYptis, as mo notonous as a country preacher, and' it great deal more prosy. There was a lack of cultur and polish, and still worse; of thought! = Not of w de, for each speaker seemed to be allowed an 'untie ded license as to time, and plodded on until the udience was heartily tired of him."

We have been informed, upon good thority that not less than one per cent. of the alive and as much as two per cent. of the geld coin in firculntion, is either spurious or has been impaired . value—and .t k yet by processes so speciouslyperfortn 4, as daily to deceive• banks and brokers. `i The result of a study thus directedt as been' the invention of a plan of coinage which,- e believe, if fully carried out by the government,l with the-re- - sources which it could well afford to d 'late to solm portant an object, can scarcely fail either altogether to relieve our currency, from the fronds, of counter feiters, or so far rendeftheir attem4upon its in tegrity unrsmunerative as to disarm 4iem of their danger. . _ HE' Rauv.—Great damaget'has f beeen done by recent heavy rains to prbperty in varioi partkof the city." The storm of Thursday, the*, was espe -cially severe in Manayunk, where cult rts were :le stroyed, streets and roads washed avi y, and in one instance the canal was filled bank feiwith rubbish washed down from the steep, hilly streets. Railroads were injured by the washing away 4nbankinents, and a number of factories suffered losS from the sub merging of cotton and goods.

PENNSYLVANIA AND THE GREAT WEST.-A Harris , burg paper says: "Nearly one-half of the entire population of the great West is composed of Pennsylvanians, and yet in spite of this drain upon her for yeare. the old Key stone has been steadily increasing in ' ealth and po pulation, and will continue to increase after . furnish ing enough people to turn three or four western. ter ritories into States." GRAVES or INVENTORS.--The same cemetery in New }Laren encloses the graves of Eli Whitney and Chas. Goodyear, two, of the most noted inventors of our country. SUNDAY LIQUOR LAW.--The first accused party 1111 der the Sunday liquor law, was discharged in Brook lyn. The enforcement of the law appears to be in possible. Antmnavran LIQUORS.—An act ‘itbireient reco very for the sale of adulterated liquors;" Was 'passed March 29th, by the Legislature of this State: It de clares that, from and after its passage, "in all actions for the sale of any spirituous, vinous, oi:malt liquors, or any admixtures thereof, it ,shall be competent fur the defendant, in every such case, to prOve that said liquors, or admixtures thereof, were inilhav, vitiated, or adulterated, and proof thereof being made, shall amount to a good and legal defence to.the whole of the plaintiff's demand. THE WEATHER IN KANSAS.—OnIy four Or five inches of rain have fallen in Southern Kansas during the year. Winds, as hot as the Eastern Simoon, sweep over these Western plains. Corn is dead or dying, and grass withered by the fierce heats. ,The inhabi. tante are threatened with famine, and the- more for tunate regions`of the East are likely to'be called on for aid, as in the time of the potato rotin Ireland. THE DROUGHT IN TExes.—The extraordinary drought in various sections of Texas continued at last accounts. The Nacogdoches Chronicle, of the 17th July:says: "A drought like the present in eastern Texas is not within the remembrance of man. For over two months have we looked and prophesied for rain, but in vain. 'During the `past week the merpry stood at from 100 to 110 degrees. The consequence is most disastrous ;-th P.

The cotton crops, which-usually withstand all droughts, ,are alike victims to it." • The above is also true of Louisiana and Mississippi The Victoria Advocate says: "On Saturday, the 14th, a perfect simoon swept by, in clouds, that darkened the whole atmosphere, until houses could not be seen across the street. The storm blew from a little West of South, and blew with more than the violence of a norther for three quarter§ .of an hour. No place was free from the driving dust—it visited every, hole and corner of the houses, drifted in Ike snow through the roofs, came in at the cracks of the windows, besprinkled the beds and furniture, drifted in the faces of many of our citizens, and even fell in quantities on the editor's MSS. until he could hardly write." • SINGULAR CENSUS RETURN IN. LEBANON COUNTY.- Cold Spring Township.—Population, 141; no deaths, no farms, and no grain raised in the township; ac cording to the returns sent in; there are 144 unoccu pied dviellings—more than the entire - lopulation. This extraordinary circumstance will require stune explanation. There are one school, one teacher, thirty scholars, and three churches. . Another Slaver.—The United States ntrshall, in New York, August 16th, took possession of .the brig Thtrmas Acorn, captured on the coast of Africa, on suspicion of being a slaver. There seems.to be little doubt that she is what she is suspected to be. The Storm at New Orleans Vzotraty•— EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE SHIPPING EPIPXOT &emuErts.—New Orleans, August 13,—The storm which visited this city and neighborhood on Saturday Was the most severe for several yetals, and its effect upon the shipping was quite disastrous, though .it happened fortunately .at a period of the year when there are but few vessels in port. Had it occurred when ships were daily departing. with valuable cargoes the loss would have been immense. A. whole town, Proctorville, was swept away. One hundied lives are supposed to have been lost. FOREIGN. ENGLAND---SNOW AND' HAIL STORMS IN ENGLAND. —The Liverpool Mercury of August lst says thatthe phenomena of snow storms in the dog days has oc curred in Yorkshire. • On the previous -Saturday a very severe thunder storin passed over Marston and district, ending in a shower of snow , and hail of a quarter of an , . hour's duration. The ground was quite white, and, on the Wolds, the snow was two inches deep in some places. Hail stones as large as nuts felt in quantities. A few days after there was another snow and hail storm. Fifteen hundred English troops have been lauded in Syria to protect the Christians. France, there. fore will not enjoy the entire credit of settling the affairs of:the Ottoman Empire. SICILY. —Volunteers to Garibaldi are so numerous 'as' to einbarrass him, and he has requested that no more be sent at present. As regards Sicily, says the New York Courier and Enquirer, there is no reason to doubt that Garibaldi soon transfer his forces from Sicily to the Nea politan mainland. All accounts agree .that boats and vessels of all kinds are rapidly assembling at Messina, and it needs no prophet to 'foretell the purpose for which they are to be used. The Neapolitan Government W 43 are assured by a telegrkm from Naples, has abandoned all hope that Garibaldi can be induced to grant an armistice, and is solely occupiedin`devising means to resist the 'expected attack of the Sicilian Dictator:` The troops which were quartered in'the Abruzzi have, it is said, been ordered, to march to Naples, round Which city the disposable forces will be concentrated, reinforce ments having 'already been dispatched to Calabria. • But further rumors of.the disaffection of the army are arriving, and, it is reported that two regiments lying in Calabria have cheered for Garibaldi, and that in another quirter a' plot of three:hundred sol diers to join. Garibaldi had been discovered and frus trated.. ' ' The signs, however, are that all the preparations . of the Neapolitan government to operate against the Garibaldians will be of no avail, that they are too late for any useful purpose, and that a disaffected Neapolitan army and a people waiting- to welcome Garibaldi,-will do all, for hint that his present force, might not perhaps lie able to accomplish. Eighteen hundred Garibaldians have landed in Calabria, and Naples has-been declared by the go vernment in a state of siege, or, in other words, has been subjected to martial law. Garibaldi, according to public rumor; has been se cretly in Naples to consult the revolutionary leaders in that city, and . to determine upon the proper mea sures to be pursued to secure success. CHINA.—By the way of Russia, advices have been received from the interior of China, which state that internal disturbances are converting that vast em pire into a waste. The rebels are within fourteen days' march of Pekin. They have occupied nume rous provinces, and have captured a steamboat in the Imperial Canal, and burnt Wah-dra-in, situated on the Yellow river, the sole medium of communication between Northern and Southern China. Japan.—The dates from Japan are to Jane the 25th. A lucrative trade bad sprung up between Japan and the French and British forces in -China, nearly all the supplies being shipped hence, including four thousand horses. Native flour was selling at $2 50 Per barrel--po tatoes ie. per pound. Four ships had cleared for England with car,goes of tea, raw silks, and other Japan- produce, Which was ,to be had in astonishing quanfities almost every where. Kanagawa las already tripled in population, tin der the influence of the different foreign commercial treaties., France and England.—Napoleon has sent an autograph letter to the French - Minister in London, Count, Persigney, designed as a 'pacific response to the warlike speech of Lord Palmerston. its tone is highly conciliatory.. The letter says: To sum up, this is my innermost thought; I de sire that Italy.should obtain peace, no matter how, but without foreign intervention. In regard to•which, among the latest news concern ing Naples,. occurs the 4 following; - France has assented to the Neapolitan proposal that the French and English Beets cruise off Cala bria and Naples to prevent the landing of- Garibar diens. Lord John Russel declined to accede, because England desired to maintain the principle of non-in tervention. The King of Naples will take refuge' in Vienna in the event of Garibaldi's success. The Austrian Mi nister, in May last, was instructed to inform King Francs • . . is 11. that the fleet was at his disposal. GERMANY..--A 8 a consequence of the conference at Toplitz, Count Rechberg communicates, in general terms, the complete establishment of an understand ing between Austria and Prussia, on all great Ques tions of European policy, as well as on questions spe cially referring to the affairs of Germany. • The following will explain the nature of this un derstanding There is no doubt that Garibaldi, aided by the Neapolitan fleet, which be- hopes shortly to possess, intends to attack Venice; yet Austria- fel& strong enough to sustain a conflict alone, even against the Whole of Italy. As long as the conflict is only: between Austria and Italy, Prussia will observe the, principle:of non-in: tervention, but if other powers interfere, and thus, break that principle, Germany would not hesitated support Austria in the maintenance of the rightnua rantied to her by treaties. .

Donnell, of &Welty. • - BWiftly and' suddenly came' this' sad intelligence to the church of which the deceased was a member, and to a large circle of friends—all unconscious and 'unap prehensii&of the greateorroWa.bnut to befall them. it is not time,to, tell- how ,great has been our loss,— neither does the,eharacter of our, friend ask embeslish ment; and yet it ieineet that mention be 'made of 'her many virtues. Hers was . a character which it is soothing and quickening to remeinber. It comes over one like the breath of spring, and we would dwell upon-it-and have others feel its tnfluence:- Richly endowed with a quick and penetrating-per ception, an active and vigorous understanding; and a spirit buoyant, cheerful, and often sportive, cultivated by a liberal andjudicious education, and overflowing with life, and full-of faith and hope, she was - fitted for activity and wide influence. Tempering these gifts, kindling them and guiding them in their operation, were her self-sacrifice and quick sympathy, leading all her 'powers -to harmonimis activity for the good of others. --Her tufluence r without being made prominent, was per suasive—like that of the great - powers. of the world, Mild and noiseless, but penetrating and enduring—her spirit and energy quickly communicating itself to all around.' It had one of the chief marks of reality—it was unpretending. She had no thought of-playing the part ota leader. She was above affectation and show—ne ver more herself, never more unstudied than when lead ing the thoughts and directing the'actions of others. . Crowning all, was her deep and earnest piety. It. was with her a deep sentiment. It'struck through and:en twined itself with her whole soul. But her' piety par .-took of the general temperament of her mind. It was active, a life, , a holy living, not a mere sentiment., It led directly and 'necessarily to good works: It was warm, but not heated, earnest but 'calm, a' habit and principle not impulse, the' air she breathed, not-a fitful -wind giving occasional violence to her emotions. A constant dew seemed to,distil upon her from heaven, giving freShness and growth to her religion, but it was an influence seen not in its falling but-in its fruits. Her devotion to her. Redeemer was marketlby an independ :ence,of the restraints and forms of the world, by a con 'Slant and whole-hearted interest in all the: enterprises of the church, and, by an habitual consecration of time and strength, gained from worldly cares and duties, to directlabor ; for Christ's glory. Her love was marked by gratitudeand submission. She felt strongly that God had crowded her life with peculiar goodness, and she praised Him; and yet when his greatest blessing in this life was withdrawn, her acquiescence was as deep and sincere as her thankfulness. In her sickness . , when it was announced 'to her that she tnust soon die, her submission was entire. ,There was no alloy of irnpatience or distrust. g. I have trusted in ,Christ and I can:trust Him nc.w . "--was a familiar sentiment, not uttered with mechanical and common place formality, but issuing from• the depths of her heart as.th:e voice of long experience in Submission and faith. She was one of the most blameless women, one of the most sincere and trust-worthy friends, one of the most active and devoted Christians, and long will her friends and the church cherish the legacy of her example.

The reader will have presented to him a picture of the religious world, upon which lie will perceive many dark and distressing shades--he Will see in what varied and unhallowed forms mankind have worshipped the Common Parent of all—he will be led 10 contemplate the delusions practised upon millions by the cunning and craft of imposture—the unholy de votion demanded of other millions, and the debasing su perstitions and cruel abominations upon still other mil lions of the human family. From the pain of dwelling upon the darker shades, he will' rind relief by turning his eyes to the bright spots of the picture." " This work is of the most liberal and impartial cha racter. The quickened intercourse of the world, the overturning of governments long established, and the scope given to free inquiry, impart a fresh interest to subjects of this nature.
