THE REST.
I am dreaming of the blessings
Just beyond the bounds of time,'
Of the pearly-gated city,
O'er whose wall no evils climb;
Where the. Father folds his children
Safety to his loving breast.,
"Wh a ere the wicked cease from troubling,
And the weary are at rest."
Now the toiling Christian pilgrim
On a roughened pathway goes,
Mare dejected, there disheartened,
Ever harassed by his foes;
Pilgrim, raise thine eye above thee,
There are 414 s for the oppressed,
"Where the wicked cease from troubling,
And the weary are at rest."
Hest thou sickness, bast thou sorrow,
Pains commingled with thy tears,
Caust thou trace the path of weeping,
Down the passage of the years , ? ,
aI am sick," none say in heaven, ' •
None by sorrow are possessed,'
' "Where the wicked cease from troubling,
And the weary are at rest."
Oh, the joys of holy dying I ,
From a holy life they come}
Constant toiling for the Master
Yet will 'bring the servant` home;
When he calls the tired, pilgrim,
To the mansions of the blessed,
"Where the wicked e,ease from troubling,
And the weary are at rest." E. J. H.
L DON'T SEE WHY.
I know a little girl who has a very pleasant
home, and the very kindest of parents, and who
is yet often discontented and unhappy. She
pouts her lips, and thirows her arms about, and
sulks, and stamps with her feet, and makes a
strange noise in her throat, between a growl and
a cry. It is not because she has not enough to
eat of good, wholesome food; nor because she has
not time to play, and playthings in abundance,
and brothers to play with her. She is not blind,
nor lame, nor deformed in any way, but has
health, and 'strength, and everything which any
little girl could wish, to make her happy in this
4xcept a good heart.
What was it that made her fretful? Why,
she had a kind mother, who told her what she
must do, and what she must not. I will tell you
what I heard:
" °Aran°, you must not take my scissors, my
dear."
"Why, mother, I have no scissors to cut off
my thread," said Caroline Pettishly. '
4 4 Well, my dear, I will give you a pairs but
you must not take mine."
"lam sure I drat see why. It's only just to
cut off rimy thread.",
The scissors were of the finest kind, and highly
polished; and Caroline's mother knew thaf it
would soil them if she should handle them with
her moist handa; and that, if she hid them once,
she would want them again. Caroline's business
was to obey cheerfully, whether she saw the reason
why or not.
"Caroline, my dear, you must not climb up on
the chair to reach your work. You must` ask
some one to get it for you"
is lam sure I don't see why. It is less trouble
to get it myself than to ask somebody for it."
"Very well, my child; you shall do it in your
own way, and see."
That -very afternoon Caroline mounted a chair
to get 'her work. She reached too far, and over
went the chair; and Caroline with it. Her work
was scattered over the floor—the needle-book in
one direction, and the thimble in another, and - the
rpools in another; and, whit was worse than all,
ter head struck the edge of the door, and a large
gash was cut in her forehead. She cried sadly,
and did not get over her hurt for weeks. Was it
less trouble to get it herself?
Mahe had trusted her mother, she would huve
saved herself all this pain; but, for the sake of
knowing the reason why she should not get up on
the chair, she caused , herself a severe wound, and
a great deal of shame and Sorrow.

SPURGEON A CHILD OP. PRAYER.
The following incident, pertaining to Mr.
Spurgeon's childhood iszrelated in the life of
Richard Kaill,' just published, and will be read
with interest by the admirers of the London
Preacher. ' It is' one of the clarions coincidences
which seem almost to include the germs of pro
phecy
During his residence at Wotten-under-Edge,
he visited the Rev. James Spurgeon, the minister
of an ancient chapel of Dr. Watts, at Stambourne,
Essex; and walking in the garden with his host's
grandson, then about ten years old, he felt, he
afterward said, a prayerful concern for the intern
gait, and inquiring boy, sat with him Under the
yew-trees, put his bands on his head, and prayed
for him; telling him at the close that g 4 he be
lieved he would love Jesus Christ; and preach his
,Gdspel in the largest chaPel in the world."
When this 'curious prediction obtained something
like a fulfilment in the young, preacher of the
Surrey Music Hall both parties in a short cor
respondence, referred to the old garden incident
with 'feelings akin -to wonder. Who can trace
the subtle influence of such suggestions on the
tenor of one's life? All will at least be able to
appreciate the aspiration prompted by these oc
currences :
Q Lord • God omnipotent ! is'th - e king
dom, and the power, and the glory. Help me as
thy servant to go on laboring and rejoicing.
These are tokens of thy favor too, great to be left
unrecorded, What would thousands of gold and
silver be, compared to the conversion of souls and
the calling out of preachers?"
A RAINY SABBATH.
I don't know who likes a rainy Sabbath. lam
sure I deal t —especially if , it is too rainy to go to
church. But sometimes a storm does come on
that holy day, and women and children are obliged
to stay in-doors on anesnnt of it.
This was the ease not many , weeeks , ago in a
certain small town where lived Mrs. Granger and
her two children, Annie and May. The rain was
pouring *I when they rose, and there was no
appihsranoe of pleasant weather for the day. This
was a great disappointment to May; for she was
expecting to:attend the Sabbath-school fiir the
first time in her short life that morning. She
could scarcely keep back her tears when her
mother took her on her lap, and said, "My little
girl cannot go out in this rain. She must repeat
her verses to mamma, instead of Miss B." It
was nearly a minute before she could speak, but,
when she did, she said her little hymn without
missing a word. This was it:
gg See i the klral'Shepherd, Jesus, statre,
With all-engaging charms:
Bark, how he calls the tenter lambs
And tokla them in bus arms."
ller mother talked to her and Annie a few
minutes latent the kind Shepherd, who is our dear
Saviour; to* be lovei the good little lainbs, who
are little children, and how he searches for them
when they wander away from him, and tries to win
them back to the fold where nothing can harm
them; and thea she knelt down and prayed that
they might never wander from the fold of the good
Shepherd, but always be good. and obedient little
lambs.
Mrs. Granger was not very well that morning.
Ber head'ached, and she was faint: so she lay
down upon the sofa, and bade Annie and May
go into the next room and look' at pictures until
she was able to read to them. She gaielhem
permission to take, the large Bible, (which was
full, of iiietaree,) if they would be very careful
of it; and they ran off delighted, thinking, no
doubt, that theirs was the kindest mother in the
world.
Well, they were beautiful pictures. There
was the gatden of Edeo, filled with animals, and
birds, and trees and floweib and Adam and Eve
sitting by the river's bank enjoying their de
lightful home. :The little
,girls were in no haste
to turn over the. leaSes. •They lingered a long
time, counting the different kind of beasts and
of birds, and Wondering'what fruit grew on the
trees, and what 'floivers beneath' them. May
said she wished they lived in the garden of
Eden, instead of just a homely brown cottage
with only two elm-trees before it; but when
thW saw the next picture, where the angel was
driving forth Adam and Eve with a flaming
sword, she thought she liked her own honie
best. Annie told her the history of the first
man and woman as welt as she could,—bow they
ate the fruit that - God forbade them to touch,
and then bow he sent their away from the gar
den to earn their living by the sweat of their
brow.
"I shouldn't have eaten the fruit if I hack beep Eve," said Annie. "I don't see bow she could
be so wicked, when God was so kind- and good
to her."
*Tait at that moment Mrs. Granger, whose
head was much better, came and sibiod behind
Annie's chair. "She had he Yid her confident
assertion, and, said gently :
"Do you really feel sure that you should not
have done what Glid commanded 3rdli not ;to
dot"
"Yes, mamma. At least I'm pretty sure."
"gy dear child, there 18 no day of your life
that 'does not witness some act or thought of
disobedience on your •part" ' •
Annie hung her'head.
"Every time you are angry, every" time you
are, selfish. every time you. wish for a thing that
is not yours,'7ou break God's commandments
*ast as much as: did Adam and Eve."
" What can I do, then, mamma?" asked
Annie, with tearful ,eyes. "How often God is
angry with me r never thought of it in that
way before."
"There is hut one way," replied her mother
tenderly.' "The Lord Jesus Christ came into
this world and suffered and died, so that we,
who are sinners and can do nothing right may
be forgßen and saved."
"But how do ,:I know he will forgive nie
asked Annie.
"BeCause he says in the Bible, 'Whosoever
cometh unto me, I will in no wise cast out)
Will you try .to love him, Annie ? Will yOu
ask him for yourself to forgive your sins and
make yon holy ?
"Yes,lnother," said Annie; and •while Mrs.
GraOger sat with Mary on her lap, shOilugiaer
pictures, she went up silently .to her own little
chamber, and offered up her simple but earnest
prayer.
Annie looked back to that rainy Sabbath very
often in after yektrs ; for although there were
thick clouds and heavy, driVikkg'rtkin, it was theik
`that she first- began to love the Savioiar, and so
she called it the pleasantest Sabbath of her life.

BT. PETERSBURG.
The walls o f the city are built of solid red granite
blocks, some of them ten feet in length, and four
in thickness. They are mounted with the largest
cannon and bombs. Between them and the water
line, are mounds and dYkes. These are *illy
guarded. There is no approach to the shore, but
by small boats, and scarcely for them, on account
of rocks sunk for hundreds of rods sea-ward he
pond low-water mark. and the only entrance into
the harbor is narrow and defended on all sides.
It would be difficult for a fleet to pass unscathed
so far up the Baltic as the mouth of the quifi but
it would need to be made of solid iron, successfully
to meet its reception within a mile of Cronstadt
Acres of ground within the walls are covered with
the heaviest cannon and stacks of balls. We once
enjoyed there the rich excitement of a sham fight;
the late Emperor, at the head of hiefteet, attempt
ing to take the city defended by the army of about
2.0,000. All day the air was rent with the roar
of artillery, while the island and Gulf seemed in
a blaze. The whole affair gave us . a very vivid
idea of an actual blockade, although we were saved
from the horrid spectacle of slaughter; hat ban
tiers were flying, and excitement shone out frent
every ,eye, while, the faces of officers and soldiers
were hideous with the stains of powder:
An important fact for the defence of the capital
against foreign invasion is the shallowness of the
Neva, the water not admitting vessels whose
draught is over seven feet All the ALPS of war
Which are stationed at Cronstadt, though con
structed at St Petersburg, are floated down on
an immense raft, which they call the Camel.
The. Imperial city lies near the mouth of the
Neva, partly on islands, partly on the main land.
Its site was once a marsh. The city is built upon
piles. It has a history running.hack one hundred
and fifty-seven years. It is now one of-the most
spacious and splendid capitals of-Europe; bon tai ri
ing. about 600,000 inhabitants, of whom only One
third are females.
The streets, are broad and regular, adorned with
magnificent palaces of granite and marble ; churches
Oriental in architecture, and ornamented with po
lished column and gilded domes. The Neva is a
majestie stream of clear water;` bordered by
nificent granite quays, and filled with every va
riety of craft which , the depth of the current will
admit. A vista, farmed by the river, opens to au
extent of, tArce miles Ahrough the city. galling
up this , broad highway, we . are amazed and. de
lighted with the'domes and spires reflecting their
golden splendors, and with , the wide streets and
stupendous structures: Along the quays are spa
cious leyel walks and stirs leading dotvn to boats
and baths in the river. One hardly perceives =the
necessity of such massive and high walls along
the sides.of the stream, until be is told of the ra
pid rise of
_l4 waters and their terrible overflow
at certain seasons,..„•4ldeed, but for these barriers
of adamant, everygp
. 4ng at the breaking up of
the ice -in the .river, dud in Lake Ladoga, its
source, the city would be overflowed: These quays
running :Ong the river litiWnitgi witent, in all,
of eighteen English, miles,i4 etvated ten feet
above the ordinary leiel oft ,stream,he prevent
that calamity.
Yet, on occasions when the ice breaks tip sud
denly by heavy rains; when the current is :ob
structed by masses of ice, and the waters df th)
Gulf are 'driven back into the stream by strodg
west winds, the three events in conjunction, al
most inevitably produce an inundation. Such was
the fact' in 18`46; *hen the terror of tb . i. . popular
tiOn was at its height; when, every street was like
a canal, and every square a bay; when every ha
bitation was flooded, and multitudes of the poor
and, feeble became victims of the flood.
Entering the river from the Gulf, a spacious
quay opens before you, two miles in extent, and
bordering shores 1,400 feet apart. Along the
right, as you ascend, are magnificent mansions of
rich merchants and foreign ambassadors. Oa the
left are seen the Academy of Arts, the granite
bastions of the fortress, and other superb public
buildings. The dwellings on the right equal, in
finish and convenience, any in Europe. A court
opens into each for carriages. On either side of
it is a broad stairway, leading to apartments occu
pied by families, and to the bureaus of merchants
and officers. This court is guarded' by a porter,
like the "concierge" in Paris. -The interior of'
the mansions corresponds with the solidity and
magnitude of the exterior. The rooms are large
and - high; the floors are composed of narrow strips
of solid wood, laid in zigzag, and without carpets,
beautifully polished. The wall and ceilings are
generally painted. often very tastefully. The
apartments are heated by large ovens which they
call "peachkg," occupying one corner or part of
a side of the room, extending from floor and ceil
ing, and covered with porcelain; so that, in a cold
day, one can lean against it and feel the most 'de
lightful diffusion of warmth. In nurseries and
chambers, convenient recesses are made in these
ovens, in which an infant can be kept warm when
ever it is put to sleep. The fuel is usually, wood
and peat. The poor portions of the city and the
villages are composed of log cabins, some of them
constructed in a neat and commodious style, others
rudely. .

Gliding up the river, we pass the mining-core,
filled with Siberian metals, and with the machi
nery and statistics of mining operations, and the.
Museum, containing among many other objeCts of
interest, the enormous skeleton found amid the
northern Snows. Entering about a mile into the
city, we reaeh a pontoon bridge across the river
Neva. "
The point of view from this bridge is charming.
The breadth of the river; the magnificent quay,
along the hank; the elegant squares of houses on
either side; the fortress; the golden spires and
domes; the grand statue of Peter the Great; boats
rowing to and fro; shipslying at, anchor, or pass
ing with spread canvass; the rolling carriages and
laden carts, and multitudes walking for business
or pleasure: all these meet and compose a scene
that, can, be felt, theuglt with difficulty described.
The capital is intersected byfour canals: the
difoika, which was once a morass stream, winding
about, among many squares arid across the.streets.
The, "rater/ha was also a swamp stream. is
now a grand canal. Its.-banks are faced with
granite, forming a fine foot Pavement, and guard
ed by a strong iron The Nikoki is fur
nished in the same manner.
The Fontcrnka is, one of the grpatest curiosities'
of the city. It was originally a pestiferous pool.
The Empress Catharine gave it a salubrious res
toration. Its length is I,Boo' feet, its breadth
about 70 feet, and its depth 7 "feet. It Is bor
dered by red granite, and a railing. Along this
canal the wealthy citizens have erected stately
mansions. Every fathom . of this embankment,
of the bridges, and pillars, and excava
tions, cost from $75 to mei; making gn"average
of $112,50; in all, t 150,000. The whole
with its bridges, and columns, and Machinery for
draw-bridges, must have cost millions.
• ,
The houses of the city are generally lofty and
spacious, excepting those of wood: These latter
are very:warm and convenient, and can even be
transported. The streets.of St. Petersburg are re..
markable for their regularity and width; they-run
generally in direct lines, intersecting each other
at right, obtuse and acute angles. 'These varia
tions and the diversity of architecture, are agree
able to the eye. The broadest street is 180 feet
in width.
The peasantry are very ingenious both in ma
nual labor and - in mental coneeptien . The serf
generally carries in his girdle a sharp hatchet,
with which he cuts wood, makes a close joint,
slices his tread and onion, spreads his butter, and
shaves.
St Petersburg is distinguished •for its superb
palaces and lofty, public buildings. They consti
tute one-fourth of the whole city; and when on
Occasions of national jubilee, all these edifices are
illuminated and the streets thronged with the
pomp of cavalry, and the equipage offashion, and
the air rent with the music of a thousand instru
ments; and throughout the palace gardens, And
along the river and the`Carials, and in the, squares,
lights gleam, and life rushes, the exhibition sur
passes the power of the pencil or the pen.
One of the 'most unique objects to the eye of a
stranger in St. Petersluirg, is the.winter flesh mar
ket; where on a large area of trampled snow, all
kinds of slaughtered. animals stand frozen, having.
at a distance the, semblance of living creatures.
The whole scene is a solemn satire on death.
The. Kasen Church was constructed after the
model of St. ,
Peter's in Rome, with those changes
which the Russian ceremonies require. The plas
tic `art, architecture, and painting, have"united to,
render:this church a magnificent ornament to, the ,
city of the Czars, and the rich decorations of its
interior, covered with a• profubion of gold, silver,
and bronze, have perhaps few eqoals. Doors and
balustrades of embossed silver, are always rare;
'but . more rare and wonderful are the ninety-five
columns of granite, of colossal magnitude, each of
One 'Nita shaft, which sustain, the body of the
church; and the mosaic pavement, a work'of great
excellence, composed :of different Riassiao marbles.
Sculpture has here erected, by masterly hands,
six colossal statues in bronze. They adorn the
peristyle of the church and the exterior nichei of
the nave. There are two entrance doorh or brottze,
on Which are sculptured, in superb basso relleub,
subjects from the Holy Scriptures; in the interior
are - subjects from the New Testament, sculptured
on stone in splendid , bas reliefs. The interior
contains .also. many fine pictures. The 'shrine of
Nary, to whom this church is dedicated, is rich
and. mapificent. Its jewels alone are estimated
at two millions of roubles; or, in round numbers,
one million dollars. The bust of the Virgin, to
gether with the infant Jesus, is entirely covered
with sapphires and emeralds. The aureole which

against the French, and the enjoyment of many
honors from the hand, of Alexander, he died worn

they may be remains of the Aztecs who ruled
that region' on its discovery by. the-Spaniarde.
FroM the dharapteristics,* however, of the me-
Itineholy remnant WhO now exist, it seems more
probable that they are to be referred to the Tel

Newberry described them as, a race apparently
entirely distinct from finp.o.ther Indians op .this
Continent.. They are smaller, have a - distinct
conformation' of skill' and face, and are Peaceful
'agricultirietii.• They" AreaVf cloth, work with
IMPldthenteof ettille, and build towns of' stone
and mortar on . the theuntain table-lauds, which
-rise eight-liundred or inie'.thousand feet above
the lowland plateaux. - They build walls round
their towns; and tleir onlymeans of ingress and
egress is by ladders, which theyfdrem up after
them when they, enter the town. There are
seven of thele s sinalllowni still inhabited by this
fast-fadingivake*: - Nit - their ruins extend over
the whole 'Miley - of the San' Juan—apparently
ruins of a race once 'numbering millions of men,

Professor Wilson,- of Toronto. C. W., read a
learned paper on " The Ethnological, value of
the imitative faculty in relation to the charac
teristics of ancient and modern American races."
All these papers are exceedingly valuable con
tributions to science. It was thought that the
Association would -discuss, at this meeting, the
novel Nieto recently put forth by "Darwin on
the Origin. • of Species." But following the
course of the
. British Scientific Association, at
its'iate meting, our scholars have passed it in
conteMptdeni silence._ The reeson_for this sig
nificant- sitande,.catinef surely be the insigolk
cant nature of Mr. Darwiti'S book. 'Not one of
the`great British Reviewa, - so far as I know, has
failed to notice it' in elaborate articles, while
many of Our own journals have reiiewed it at
leugth. ' Neither is it 'beneath criticism on the
ground of-its scientific weakness. It is in di
rect antagonism to the favorite theory of-Agas
siz on. UM' origin of .species, and yet it is said
that Professor Gray, of Cambridge, is inclined
to Darwin's conclusions. So it may bethat the
difference between these two learned naturalists,
has been the reason for this silence in the As
sociation pf which both are prominent members.
It is to be regretted that we could not have an
opinion from these - Scientific Doctors upon this
very striking and curious book. Such an opi
nion would hare 'great authority.
Profesior Henry N'..Haireap, of Baltimore,

The session of Wednesday Morning'was demi=
pied mainly by the reports of Professors Alex
ander and Bannard, on the total solar eclipse of
July 18th, as seen on the cost of Labrador.
I have never seen a more eager and delighted
auditory than the one gathered in the Rhode
Island .State House, to listen to these scientific
reports. It was the true enthusiasm of science
that caused the eye to flash And twinkle with an
unwonted brilliancy, as one after another of
these facts and observations
,gathered, at so
much cost of time, and patience, and money, on
that desolate northern coast was annorpeed,
After the address of the retiring President,
Prof. Alexander, the association adjourned at 2
o'clock. On the whole, this was one of the
most interesting meetings ever held. The
place is one worthy of Koh a meeting of scho
lars, with.allits interesting historical asso
ciations, contributed not
,a little to .the interest
of this scientific , jubilee. Here was the residence
of the fampus Bishop Berkley, while in the coun
try. Here too Was the settlement of the not
less famous Dr. Samuel Hopkins, the pious
divine and . . profound theologian. Here stands
one of the' Most curious relics of dim and
shadowy antiquity in this country. It is fami
liarly called the "Old Mill," since no man can
guess for what purpose it was originally built
It is perhaps twenty-five feet in diameter, of cir
cular form, and about thirty feet high. It is
supported by.ight columns, spanned by Roman
arches, and is open at the top. Of its history
nothing is known, only that there it stands, and
there it has stood since a period long antedating
tile settlement of the pantry .hy the English.—
It is commonly supposed to have been erected
ljy . tbe Nortbmen, who visited this part of the
Continent some time in the.thirteenth century.
It ie . in strange and striking contrast' with the
Condition of things allifrOund it to-day. It is
directly in front of one of 'the largest hotels, in
the heart. of the town; thronged . with the wealth,
pomp and.fashibu':Of floe land is en
closed and sacredly guarded as the chief lion of
the place. And. it seems to,look in grim and
solemn silence upon all the vain and foolish dis
play going on in its vicinitygrave and dignified
visitor from the realms of the past to the pre
sent time.
• Pf the distinguished visitors here at present,
iniiy mention Ron. S. A. Douglas, who is on
a; . visit to his aged mother in Vermont; Baron
Rothschild from Paris; Hon. G. A. Grow, of
Pi., two or three- young Angtish lords, and yet
unpledged, and .4r. and Mrs. Potiphar, with
their amiable danghiers, accompanied by one or
two young gentlemen,'friends.of the family.

LESSONS IN PROVERBS
I feel that I should. be wanting.to hearers such
es, those present in this plece = tbat, I should fail
in that purpose which has been, more or Ipm, be
fore me even in dealing , with the lighter portions
of my subject—if I did not earnestly remind , you
of the many proverbs there are which, while they
have their lesson for all, yet scum more directly
addressed to those who stand, as so many do here,
at the threshold of the more serious and earnest
portion of their lives. Take this; Italian one for
instance: When you grind your corn, give not the
flour to the devil, and the bran to God; in the
distribution, that is, of your lives, apportion not
your best years, your .stgeugth and your vigor. to
the service of sin andotthe.wnrld,i.tad only the
refuse and rejected to yonr, Ikka/Fer;. the wine
. Au
otherpoind the less , Not so; for,
to :fa ke another . ancient pumayb;il64h we have
=pie Veil *ell our own . ; and.which'' runs thUs
lt•tstoo We to spare, when all is spent. The
words lave obviously a primary application to the
goods of ibis 'present life; it is ill saving 'here;
when nothing or next to nothing is hift•to save.
But they are applied' well by a heathen moralist
(and the application lies very near) to those whO
begin to husband precious time, and tvlive Air
life's trne ends, when life is nearly gone, is now
at.its dregs; for, as he well urges, it is. not .the
only. which:regains at the bottom ' , heit the
worst, On tbeotherhand, Tlysmoraing hour/

each. Of our days,, in whi4ith the. earlieOloom gigen
to 'toil will larger and more genial retgrns
than t,, ater, it.;s44::l4lflier__annse,!ef
that greathfe-day, whereof all" limier days of
our life make up the moment's, is true in respect
of moral no less than 'mental acquisition. The
evening hours have often only silver in their
mouths at the best. Nor is this Arabic proverb,
as it• appears to me, other than a very solemn one,
being far deeper than at first sight it might seem:
Every day in thy. life is a leaf in thy history; a
leaf which shall once be ,torgunk back t*,.itgltin,
that it !nay be !keen what wiy,il„*.itte.n . there, and
that Wliiit4ver was written May l*read out in the
hearing of all.
And among the proverbs having to do with a
prudent ordering of our lives from' the very first,
this Spanish seems well worthy to be adduced :
That which the fool does in'the end, the anise man
does iu the beginning; the last with a good grace
what the other with an ill;: lie to much profit
what thee , other only..to.little or, to none. A word
