Prayer was not meant for luxury, Or selfish pastime sweet; It is the prostrate creature's place At his Creator's feet. Had I , dear Lord, no pleasure found But in the thoughts of Thee, Prayer would have come unsought, and been A truer liberty. Yet thou art oft most present, Lord! in weak, distracted prayer; sinner out of heart with self, Most often finds Thee there. And prayer that humbles, sets the soul From all illusions free, And teaches it, how utterly Dear Lord, it hangs on Thee. The soul that on selkaerifice Is dutifully bent, Will bless the chastening hand that makes Its prayer, its punishment. Ab, Jesus! why should I complain? And why fear aught but sin? Distractions are but outward things; Thy peace dwells far within! These surface troubles come and go Like rufflings of the aen; The deeper depth is out of reach To all, my God, but Theel AUNT PATTY'S VISIT. iton Grns WHO WISE TO BE THOUGHT EAsHz mit "But why, my dear children," she added more gravely, "bas this walk with Aunt Patty given you so much uneasiness? Was it really because sbe is old and unfashionable, that you were so unwill ing to be seen with her? I can hardly believe you were capable of such folly." Both the Fula blushed a little, and Ellen said in an apologetwal tone, "But you know, mother, Aunt Patty does lo ok very queer—quite unlike 'anybody else that we are acquainted with." 46 Yes, I acknowledge she is a very plain-looking old lady," replied the'mother, "but it would not become either her age or station to be anything else." "And you'll acknowledge, mother," said Grace, "that her hat looks as if the milliners before the food had made it, won't you." "No," said Mrs. Bloomfield, "I believe I cannot go so far bank as that, Grace. Aunt Patty's bonnet was made probably three or four years ago, Auld with praiseworthy neatness, and a strict re gard for economy, has lasted to this time. I wish acme young Indies I oould name were as careful." "Dear mother I wear a bonnet three years !" ex claimed Ella, lifting up her hands in amazement, A' I guess the young ladies you mean will never Icarn to do that.'' "I fear not," replied Mrs. Bloomfield, "since they give but little evidence of it now." 64 At least," said Grace, "till they are as old as Aunt Patty herself," "At which time, some young people of the next generation, may be quite ashamed to acknowledge them as friends, perhaps," said Mrs. Bloomfield, quietly. "Really, mother," said Ella, in an earnest tone, " I did not mean to do anything wrong, but I do wish you had been with us this morning, for, to tell you the truth, we bad a most uncomfortable time. You can't think how many strange ques tions Aunt Patty allketlithall the shops, and how every one stared at her. 'Then when we went into May's, the Otero WAS fullrof ladies—Mis. Jennings was thereieliMer, the.rich Mrs. Jennings, I mean, though tdbefanre,_ she did not know us, that , was sonic comfort ; and Aunt Patty went gazing about her as if she had never seen a toy before. And after Emily Simpson and the rest came in, she screamed out for us to come and look at some silly thing, and made me feel terribly mortified, and the girls all got laughing at her and I would have given anything in the world, if i had been anywhere else." "Poor Aunt Patty:ll wish I had been with you, indeed, •for then I might have shielded her from bush an insult," said Mrs. Bloomfield. "Of course they would not have done it if you bad been near," said Grace. "And did neither of you' try to prevent it?" The girls were silent . "I think you might easily have said, in a pleasant way, 'oh, don't laugh, girls, Aunt Patty is a relation of my father's, and a nice, kind old lady, but not used 10 our city habits.' Would not this have been a simple method of qui eting them?" "Simple enough, if we bad only thought of it," said Grace, "but the fact is, we were so ashamed." "Ashamed, my dear i and what was there to be ashamed of 7" "Why, in plain terms, mother, Aunt Patty's mean-looking dress, and countrified manners!" " Your own folly, and the rudeness of your young friends, were a much greater cause for shame, Grace," said Mrs. Bloomfield. "Well now, mother," said Ella, "don't you think any other girls in the city, like Grice and myself, would feel just as we did, if they were obliged to walk through Broadway with a strange old lady in shabby clothes? and wasn't it very na tural that we should be mortified about it?'" "Yes, Ella ' because, naturally, we have all a great deal of false pride," answered Mrs. Bloom field, "but, my dear child, these natural disposi tions are what we should most struggle against, since they lead us to evil, sooner than good. I dare say there are few young ladies of your age, who would not have felt as you did, beeauSe girls of twelve and thirteen are too apt to measure the worth of others by their dress; yet I cannot help *wishing that you and Grace had formed a part of thee° few, who are too sensible to set an undue value upon outward appearance, and ton kind hearted to despise and ridicule one of their best friends, for the sake of her bonnet." "Ahl mother," said Grace trying to sigh, but laughing in spite of herself, "I am afraid we shall never be good enough to satisfy you." "Not unless you improve in some points of character," replied Mrs. Bloomfield. culled want us to be unnaturally good, I sup pose," said Ella smiling. "Yes," replied her mother, "I wish to see you kind, gentle, self-sacrificing, and so humble-minded that you may 'esteem others better than your selveti.' I want you in all things to follow the Golden Rule, of doing unto others as you would they should do to you, and then perhaps you will be good enough to satisfy me. Your conduct to day, with regard to Aunt Patty, particularly grieves me, because she is one to whom we are all much indebted, and for whom I feel a strong attachment, notwithstanding her old-fashioned attire." "Indebted, mother 1" said Grace, "Indebted to Aunt Patty? Do tell us howl" "Before you left home this morning," replied Mrs. Bloomfield, "and when ynu were so anxious to get my mantilla, I said I would tell you a story that might make you blush for yourselves more than for your aunt, and this is it. Aunt Patty is, yon know, the only sister of your Grandmother Bloomfield, and of all her nieces and *nephews, I think she loved her sister's youngest son the best. - Your father has frequently told me of instances, in whiCh; when a little boy of five years, she evinced her special partiality for him; not only in bringinF him toys and sweetmeats, and never pertnitung a single Christmas to pass without some proof of her regard, bat ki many other ways be side, such as teaching hint to read, and repeating hymns and Bible stories, until he had committed them to memory, being too young to learn them in any other way. When about your age, Grace, be was seized with severe and dangerous illness, from which there seemed little hope of recovery, hnd through the whole of it, Aunt Patty nursed aint with the most devoted attention—your grand- mother being ill at the time;--and probably it was his aunt's constant care and excellent nursing which, by God's blessing, saved his life. After he was partially restored, the physician recom mended an entire change of air, and Aunt Patty went herself with him to the sea-shore, where she continued his untiring attendant and cheerful companion, until he was well enough to return home." "Ella," said Grace, " we must not call her bon net shabby again, must we? I wish, mother, you had told us this before; but go on, if you please." "Aunt Patty's affection for her nephew," con tinued Mrs. Bloomfield, "did not wear off as he mrew older, though it showed itself in deeds more than in words; for instance, a present of half a dozen new shirts now and then, of her own make, or, when her eyes became poor, and she finally lost the sight of one, a few pairs of nice warm stockings which she bad knit herself. At last your father married, and we settled down very snugly in our own comfortable house, with every thing neat and genteel about us. Aunt Patty came to pay us a visit, I remember, and brought me, as a wedding present, a dozen silver tea-spoons, those now in daily use. For a tiwe our worldly affairs. prospered, and we wanted nothing. You will hardly believe it, Ella, but I bad silks, and laces, and fine clothes, like rich Mrs. Jennings. Our. season of prosperity, however, was of -short dura tion. 'When you were both little things, Grace being, less than a year old, we met with sudden reverses. Your father was unfortunate in his busi ness, lost a large sum of money by the failure of a merchant in Boston, and everything was swept away—house, furniture, plate--all our luxuries, and ,many of our comforts. Then it was that Aunt Patty stood our firm friend. She imme diately placed at our disposal one half of her small property, content to live upon less herself in order to benefit us. With this loan we were enabled to begin the world again, and your father has been successful beyond his expectations, but .you may suppose, the closest economy has been necessary, that we might repay Aunt Patty as speedily as possible." FADER, tortlinutonz. THE CHEVALIER -BriNSEN. Christian Charles Josias, Chevalier Von Bunsen, was born at Karbach, in the small principality of Waldeck, in the central part of Germany, on the 25th of August, 1791. He was consequently in the 68th ye of his age at the time of his death. He was brought into the world at an epoch when the ancient order of things was about to be broken up. The French Revolution was swelling up in the west like a fearful whirlwind about to sweep over Europe,. and Prussia was timidly venturing to arrest its progress by threats and warnings. The young Bunsen was fourteen years old when the sun of Austerlitz set upon Austria, and a few months older when the eagle of Prussia suc cumbed at Jena to the eagle of France. His native land was a province of the French Empire when he was sent to college at Marburg. He remained there a year, and in 1809, went to the University of Gottingen, where he studied philosophy under Heyne. Archmology and ecclesiastical law ap pear to have had peculiar attractions for him as well as the„ classics, and be made great progress in these studies; so much so, indeed, that in 1811, when only twenty years of age, he obtained a Professor's chair at the gymnasium of Gottingen. He does not appear to have been of a warlike turn. While thousands of the heroic youth of Prussia were pouring out their blood at Leipsie, Lutzen, Bautzen and on other bloody fields, Bunsen was enjoying lettered ease at his favorite University.'. In 1813, while the war was at its height, he gave to the world the first fruits of his erudition in a work bearing the title, "De jure Atheniensium heredi tario," (on the law of inheritance among the Athenians.) His love of antiquarian research led him to the investigation of the antiquities of his native land, and, in order to carry out the design which he had formed of tracing out the analogies between the old Norse and the German mytholo gies, languages and institutions, he .travelled into various parts of Europe. Among other cities, he visited Copenhagen, where he studied the Ice landic) tongue, under Professor Magunssen. On his return to Prussia he,studied archmoTogy with Niebuhr, the illistrious historian of Rome. He then, in 1816, went to Paris, where he studied Sunsuit, Persian and Arabic with the celebrated Orientalist, Sylvestre de Secy. Ho remained two years in the gay metropolis of Europe, and then went to Rome, where his friend and preceptor, Niebuhr, occupied an important post in the Prus sian embassy. - We here enter upon anew phase in Bunsen's career. Hitherto he has been known solely as a learned man, a savant, who has not as yet given the world much assurance of what he is to be. His intimacy with Niebuhr introduced him into political life; for the great historian was warmly attached to Bunsen through 'similarity of tastes and occupations, and he obtained for him the post of Secretary to the Embassy to the Holy See. He filled this situation, which was not a very ar duous one, for four years. In 1822 King Frede rick William 111., of Prussia, visited Rome, and was so much plerdeikwith Bunsen that he made him charge d'affairet there, on the departure of Niebuhr. His diplothatic &blies did not prevent his prosecuting his 'favorite studies and researches. In 1862 the younger Champollion visited Rome, where he lectured upon the antiquities of Egypt. Bunsen became intimate with him, and turned his own inquiries into a new channel; in this study of Egyptian Archaeology he formed the plan of the great work on• which his reputation will mainly rest. But he aimed at something more practical than silent study in the closet. In 1829, in con junction with his countryman, Gerhard, he:founded an Archielogical institute at Rome. In 1835, he built a hall for it near the Capitol. He also estab lished a hospital for Protestants in "the Eternal City," and became fired with zeal for propagating Protestant doctrines. •ep The question of the legality of marriages be. tween Catholics and Protestants in the Romish chuich, or " mixed marriages," as they' were called, had, for several years previously, agitated Germany, and Bunsen, who strongly supported the legality of them, went to Berlin for special in structions how to act with the Court of Rome in this delicate matter. On his return (in 1827) he entered into negotiation with the Pope, Leo XII., with a view to a. peaceful settlement of it. The death of that pontiff; and the brief pontificate of Pius VIII., (1829-1830,) caused the postpone, meat of the decision of the Holy See. But in 1832 Bunsen obtained from Pope Gregory XVI., a special bull, authorizing the celebration of mar riages between Catholics and Protestants, but not enjoining the Catholic clergy to officiate. The Catholic priesthood of Germany, headed by the Archbishop of Cologne, refused to celebrate these marriages, and for more than three years Prussia was kept in a ferment. At length, in 1837, the contumacious Archbishop was sent to prison, and the government interfered by force and suppressed the quasi-insurrection. Bunsen, by his strong Protestant propagandism, had made himself c'ob noxious to the Papal court; he therefore solicited his own recall, and in 1838 went to England. In 1839, he was appointed Minister to the Swiss Confederation, and occupied that post until 1841. He was then sent to England to negotiate with the government of that country for the establish ment, under the joint auspices (and joint COntri buttons) of it and Prussia, of a Protestant Bishop ric at Jerusalem. In this he was successful, and was rewarded by being appointed Minister at London. While resident in England, he associated with the most eminent and literary men of the day, and he again became an author, after a lapse of thirty years. In 1843 he published the result of his antiquarialuesearebes in Rome, under the title, " Die Busilikeu des Christlichen Rams (the Ba silica of Christian Rome;) also Elizabeth'Fry und (Re Christ Frauen und 111(7dt:hen (Elizabeth Fry, and the Christian women aild'girls;) a religious appeal. lie was summoned from London to Berlin in 1844, to advise his irresolute and insincere master, Frederie.k William IV., as to the propriety of ful filling, a solemn pledge, and granting a constitu Cousin Bertha's Stories anteritait thcobtlerian and tittote grattotliot. tion to the people. Bunsen strenuously urged the king to give them one similar to that of England, but he failed in inducing him to be honest. He likewise took part with the German party in favor of severing the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein from Denmark. On his return to London he com posed the first portion of his great work, gyp tens Stellung in der Weltgeschite, (Egypt's place in the World's History.) It a ppeared in 1845, and produced considerable sensation, from the boldness of.-the positions assumed, and its conflict with Scripture chronology. In 1847 Bunsen pub lished an essay on Ignatius von Antioch und seine Zeit, (Ignatius of Antioch and his times.) Also, Die drei aechten und die vier unachten briefe der Ignatius, (The - three Genuine and the Four Spu rious Epistles of Ignatius.) In 1848 he wrote a memoir of the constitutional rights of the Duchess of " Schleswig and Holstein," which he presented to Lord Palmerston, in the hope, we presume, of influencing his lordship to take part with - Prussia against Denmark. In this he was disappointed. The Chevalier represented Prussia in the negotia tions with the great Powers on this question; he was, unfortunately for his reputation, on the losing side, for the unjustifiable interference of Prussia with the Duchies was emphatically condemned, and the king of Denmark's title was fully resog nised. All that Bunsen could - do he did, viz : enter a solemn protest against the protocol of Lob don. In 1851 he published, in English, a work entitled "Hippolytus and his epoch; or the life sod 'doctrine of the Roman church under Com modus and Severus," and in 1856 'he published " Signs of the Times," and " Letters on Liberty of Conscience," of which two editions were sold in three months. Of all his works, however, that on which his fame will mainly rest is his "Egypt's place in the world's history." The boldness with whit* he attacked the received chronology, and disputed the reality of events which had been for ages re ceived as sacred truth, attracted very general at tention. The wonderful , amount of learning and research displayed in this elaborate work, justly placed him in the front rank of the literati of the age. It is to be regretted, however, that an equal amount of judgment had not been displayed in it. He follows Manetho almost blindly in the narrative of Egyptian history; when it is pretty clearly ascer tained that the greater portion of that historian's statements were the inventions of the priests. Bunsen strove to prove that Menes, the first king who united the small •kingdoms of Egypt under one sceptre, ascended the throne in the year B. C. 3555—i. e. about 1200 years before the deluge. Of course this was attacking not merely the date, but the universality of the last mentioned oc currence; for he traces the kings of Egypt down in a continuous line from Menes, which could not be, had a deluge intervened. He has resorted to considerable stretching of the chronology of other nations to fit them in with his Own Egyptian. That his 'work has great merit cannot be denied; but that it will become the standard work on Egyptology may be doubted. In private life the Chevalier was much beloved. He was greatly esteemed in England, where he resided so many years, both for his affable and agreeable manners and for his enlarged views on constitutional liberty and freedom of religions be lief.—U. S. Gazette. CALVIN AS A REFORMER. And now one word about Calvin as a Reformer. In the opinion of some of his critics, it is here that his labors are seen to the most advantage. He unquestionably saved the Reformation. Lu ther went forth with a giant's strength to destroy the false; but he was comparatively weak in building up the true. But Calvin was just the man to organize, and consolidate that which was already gained. Had it not been for Calvin the Reformation would—humanly speaking—have perished in endless disputes and divisions. But through Calvin, Geneva became the centre of a mighty influence that went through the whole of Europe, and is powerfully felt even to this day. Prove that little city hundreds of - devoted minis ters went forth, steeled by Calvin's Spartan disci pline, ready at any moment to die in defence of the truth. After Luther's death, .the, Lutheran churches did but little to carry on the , Reforma tion. But the Calvinistic churches have gone on and on, increasing continually, and it is impossi ble to estimate the good they have accomplished. Indeed, we owe our civil and religious liberty chiefly to these churches. was it that bearded those tyrannical priesti3 despotical kings in England, and solved that great problem; which is most, one or a million—theking:yr the people? Was it not the stern, God-fearing,Puri tans ? And did not the Puritans light their lamp at Geneva ? They were all baptized with Calvin's spirit. What city was it that John Knox looked to as the model of perfection ? Was it not Geneva ?- And both Calvin's doctrine and discipline he im pressed on Scotland. In grance, the whole of the' Reformation bears Calvin's stamp and seal. Go across the Atlantic, and ask whose ideas had most filled the hearts of those Pilgrim fathers, who went forth in the Mayflower to plant the seeds of civil and religions liberty in the far West ? And the reply is Calvin's. In fact, it was Cal vinism—not Lutheranism—that - everywhere did battle with Jesuitism, and was thus the means of saving Europe. And on that noble list of men, ..who by their toil, and suffering, and prayers, have handed 'down to us the precious boon of the Re:. formation, we must first write the name of Martin Luther, and second that of John Calvin. Calvin, then,'on the whole, we thus judge. He was a man •of great intellect, of varied talents, of ripe scholarship. A man of iron will and firm purpose; exercising mighty influence for good at the most, critical period ,of Europe's history—a man to whom all Protestants owe a mighty debt of . gratitude. There was in his life a simplicity, a majesty, a consistency of purpose, which •at once stamp him as one of: the world's great men. God's glory was his great aim. • Duty was the watchword of his life. He was a man of weak body;.spare in diet, austere in habits, requiring bat little sleep, and sadly deficient in muscle and animal spirits. His heart was cold,,his temper keen, his disposition unlovely and ungenial. He was hard and intole rant in spirit, showing.but little sympathy for those who had the misfortune to differ from him in opinion. Of that charity which beareth all things, which suffereth long, and is - kind, he had a very small portion. In his efforts to do good, he always manifested too much of the love of law, and too little of the law of love. We admire him for his matchless talents,; we honor him for de votiug those talents to the cause of God and hu manity; but love him we can not ; his cold, stern heart repels us; his morose, violent temper warns us not to come too near.—The Methodist THE MIKAN BODY. That all the organs were designed to discharge peculiar functions, no one can doubt. If there be design in a watch, there is design in the con struction of an eye: and if there is design in the construction of an eye, there is design in the con struction of every organ in the human body. Galen, that wonderful man ' whose opinions in fluenced the medical world for thirteen hundred years with unbounded sway, was converted from atheism by the dissection of a human body.

AYER'S -I SA'' eAKJULA,A, /or Purifying the Blond, And for the speedy cure of the subjoined varieties of Disease: Scrofula and Scrofulous Affections, snob as Tumors, M ears, Sores, Bruptions,; Pimples, Pustules, Blotches, Boils, Blains, and - all Skin Diseases. Scrofula, or.lf lug's Evil, is a constitutional disease, sr corruption of the blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervedes the whole body, and may burst out in disease on any part of it. No organ Is free from its attacks, nor is there one which it may not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously caused'by mercurial disease, low living, disordered or un healthy food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the, depressing vices, and, almve all, by the venereal infection. Whatever be its origin, it is hereditary in the constitution, descendlne‘from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation;" indeed, it seems to be the rod of Rim who says,- 0 I will visit the iniqutlee of the fathers upon their children." • Its effects commenee by deposition from the blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter; which, in the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed tuberclee; in the ghetto, swellings; and, on the surfitce, eruptions .or sores. This •feni • corruption, which genders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, so that ecrofulous constitutions not only suffer from scrofuloue complaints, but they have far less power to withstand the attacks of- other diseases; consequently, vast numbers pariah by disorders, which, although not scrofulous in their nature, are still rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most of the consumption which- decimates the human family, has its origin directly in.this scrofulous contamination; and many de. etrnctive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain, and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or are aggravated by the same cause. One quarter of all our people are scrofulous; -their-persona are in vaded by this lurking infection ' and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse it from the system, we most renovate the blood by an alterative medicine, and invigorate it by healthy food and exer cise.

A WONDERFUL CURE OF ASTHMA ASTHMA A BY JAYNE'S EXPECTORANT. This unrivalled remedy for Pulmonary Diseases is equally successful in all countries and climates in subduing diseases.. The Rev. Eugenia Kincaid, a Missionary in Burmab, writes:— It is rare that we use any medicine except your pre parations. About three months since, a Burman female of rand, who called on us, as we learned from her hus band, had suffered for EIGHTY vr.A.its with ASTHMA, and often, for weeks together, had been unable toesleep, except in a sitting posture. It was painful to look upon ber emaciated frame and distressed countenance. Feeling quite satisfied that no medicine could restore her to health, we (i. e., Dr. Dawson anti Mr. Kincaid) thought only of affording' some temporary relief, and gave her about one-third of a bottle of your EXPECTORANT. One week after, her husband name for more, and informed us that, for the first time in eight years she had slept sweetly. In one month and a half she was entirely restored, and has increased nearly one-fifthin weight. Our sister, you recollect, took your ALTERATIVE for a long standing Swelling on hit. neck. _Tit has perfectly cured her. Yours, &c., DR. D. JAYNE. EUGENIA. KINCAID.

JAYNE: My wife has been severely afflicted some years with BRONCHITIS, and having heard 'of the won-, derful efficacy of your EXPECTORANT for COUGHS, ASTHMA, DIFFICULTY OF BREATHING, SPITTING OF BLOOD, and other diseases of the lungs, I purchased one bottle of it, and one box of SANATIVE PILLS, and am happy to inform you that, after using the Expectorant, her cough was imme diately suppressed, removed the difficulty of breathing and pain, produced a free and easy expectoration, and in one m,onth e f fected a complete cure.

COLDS, COUGHS, AND PAINS IN THE SIDE AND Dean SIB: In the Fall of IS4B, 'I was attacked with a most violent racking in my left side, immediately under my,heart, giving me the most excruciating agony, and at times rendering me entirely speechless. ..I tried for nearly a year all the remedies which were recommended for my disease, under the most skilful physicians, but unfortunately without success. I was at last about to give up in despair, when a kind friend thought of your EXPECTORANT. I procured a bottle of it, and before I had entirely used the whole of it, I felt manifest symptoms of a change for the better. I continued on using it, and by the time I had taken five bottles, I foun'tl myself completely cured by means ofyour invaluable medicine Yours, very respectfully, T. W. M. HARVEY. Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Terre Haute, Ind., May 8, 1848. JOITH HA RRINAPT, Esq., Stewartstown, N. 8., writes:— Not long since, a child of mine had a very violent and distressing attack of Croup, which must have proved fatal hid not immediate relief been obtaided.

In using it, I surpassed the directions, as I took it in nau seating doses for several weeks.
