How swiftly, from the shrouded valleys borne, The mists dispel and vanish from eyes 1 The lichened rocks and leafless groves awake, And e'en these winter hills, so brown and bare, Back from their barren brows the shadows shake, And this new sheen of golden promise wear. So, when the eternal Sabbath morn shall bring Its full release from all of earth's control, Those purer rays, which gild each seraph's wing, With light and warmth shall bathe each ransomed soul. No sterile waste is there, no night of sin; No olouds may gather, no rude winds may blow; There God shall welcome each new comer in, To paitures green, where living waters flow. Ohl when, sweet Sabbath, shall thy morning break, Down the far summits of heaven's hills of gold? When, when shall we from life's poor dream awake, And God's eternal heritage behold? Salem, Mass. A STORY OE THE ALMSHOUSE BY MATTA MYTHS. "It God be with us, who can be against use , ' "Brother Willie, why do you always repeat that proverb when you are in trouble ?" inquired Mudge Newton, as she pressed her tear-stained time against the window pane, while her little feet rested upon a stool which had, for many years, been an article of furniture in the Almshouse. "I cannot tell you, Madge, unless it is that I find comfort in the words. It was a favorite say ing of our mother, and, dear sister, it should be a frequent one with the orphan," replied the brother, drawing Madge closer to him. "Poor Madge, bow I wish you could feel happy—ceasing to mur mur against a Higher Power. Never min earth's troubles, dearest sister, but'endure all things unto the end, and then you will have a rich inheritance to claim." "Endure! I am too submissive, Willie," ex claimed the youog girl, while her eyes flashed at the thought of the hardships through which she bad been called to pass. "I have now firmly resolved to avenge every injury that I receive, and will do the same for you, if you are too weak to resist.'' "0 Madge, you forget that 'Vengeance is_ Mine, saith the Lord, and I will repay.' Do not rebel against His holy command. His ways are dark and intricate, but trust Him, sister, and all will be right." "I really believe that you would stand with your arms folded, Willie, and let that coward of a man—the overseer—whip you to death, if I did not choose to interfere. But he won't do it, as long as there is strength in these hands. Oh, how I hate that man! Willie, I hate every one in this dreal'y world but you !" "My darling sister, I cannot bear to hear you use such wicked language. 'Love your enemies; do good to them—" "I shall not listen to you any longer'!" ex claimed Madge, in an impetuous manner, and at the same time freeing herself from the arm which her brother held so firmly around her. Entreaties would not avail: off she went to help "Crazy Poll" clean the walls of the hall. Willie Newton pressed his emaciated hand to his burning brow, and the scalding tears trickled down his pale cheek, as he exclaimed, with a heart full of anguish: "Oh, my God ! why hest thou forsaken me?" and, like David of old, he repeated it with tenfold energy: "Oh, Father! why should I repine at a life which thou hest given me? Oh, make me a loving, trustful, and patient child; and may I be able to bow with resignation, saying within my heart: 'Thy will, 0 Father, not mine, be done.' Teach me how to live—" The harsh voice of Mr. Harden reminded the boy that the day was not the time for him to spend in such thoughts: Softly lifting his tattered hat from the floor, and with a prayer in his heart for a loving and a thoughtless sister, he followed the overseer with a languid step. Willie Newton's labor for the day was unusual ly arduous, for a boy of his ago. A large vat was to be filled every morning with fresh water from a neighboring spring. Upon this morning Willie started with a pail in each hand. All of his for mer ambition and energy were gone, and it was with the utmost difficulty that he could carry even one pail. When the hour approached for dinner, the vat was only half filled. This excited the indig nation of Mr. Harden, who thought the boy idle and shiftless. Had the overseer known the real cause of Willie's dilatoriness, he might have been more lenient. But, worn out by the cares and Oita which such an institution as the almshouse, where are congregated .so many of every descrip tion, affords, he became irritated, and lost all self control. Poor Willie had not received many blows, before the doors opened, and the next moment Madge had seized the whip from the oppressor's hand. "For shame, Mr. Harden!" exclaimed the ex cited girl, as she handed back the whip at his command. "If you strike another blow, sir, at my brother, I will be avenged!" Madge's proud lip curled with scorn as her eyes fell upon the "tyrant's rod." "Hush, sister! Forgive her, Mr. Harden, for she knows not what she says!" exclaimed Willie, as be sprang between his sister and the uplifted hand. "Surely, sir, you could not forget yourself sp far as to strike a girl. No, you are too noble for that?" continued the boy, while the tears glistened in his eyes. The hand of wrath was stayed, and the master was conquered. "My generous boy, you are right. My hand shall never be raised against a woman. Although Madge must be punished for open rebellion. She shall be sentenced to her room for a week." " Thank you kindly, sir!" replied Willie, grate fully, "and may that God who has promised to be a father to the fatherless bless Soul" Madge Newton, during this time, remained sta tionary, nor could she be induced to leave the room, until she had obtained a promise of Willie's forgiveness. After she had gone, Mr. Harden called Willie into the "office," and gave him an opportunity to explain the cause of his delay when sent for water. "Oh, sir! I assure you that I did not intend to be idle; but I was so weak," replied Willie, as his tears fell upon the sanded floor. "I would do any thing to please you, and I intended to finish filling the vat during the hours that were allowed me for study and play." Mr. Harden saw his error, and acknowledged his wrong like a man. When they arose to leave the room, Mr. Harden told Willie to go 'to the doctor's room, and tell him how weak he was, and procure some medicine. With a light heart Wil lie thanked the overseer. As he walked towards the doctorte office, ho thought "Oh, how true is my mother's proverb—qf God be with us, who can be against us?'" The _doctor, a rough, but kind, old gentleman, gave Willie a simple tonic, with an injunction to keep quiet, and not work for a week or so. When tr. Harden heard of this, he told Willie that be :night spend the week with Madge, thereby ren 41ering her confinement more pleasant. Willie did not stop to express his thanks, for his gratitude was too great, but flew up stairs, and was soon by Madge's aide. Twining his arm around her neck, he exclaimed: "Oh, Madge! I am going to be with you a whole week I Won't we have a nice time? Mr. Harden is so good, sister; do you think, he sent me to the doctor's office, who gave the some medicine to make me strong. Oh, I am eo glad! Are you not glad, dearest sister ?" in quired Willie, when he noticed, for the first time, that Madge was still angry. "I am not glad or sorry; but I only wish that I had struck the man when I had his whip." "Oh, no! you do not wish any thing of the kind," replied Willie, laughingly. "You remind tie of a little boy that mamma told me about, who took up a poker to strike some one, but was obliged to lay it down. After several days, becoming angry with the same person, he exclaimed,—'l wish that I bad struck you with the poker when I was mad the other day.' Now, you are almost as foolish, dear sister. Mr. Gordon has proved to be a noble man, and I have already learned to love him." "Love him! why, Willie Newton, where is your spirit of 'pride," said Madge. " Gone, I hope, never to return. You will love him before the week is over. The doctor's tonic will make me quite well, and I hope to live any way to take my sister from such a place as the almshouse, and yet she appears to be indifferent." "Do I? lam sorry, dear brother, that I spoke so hastily. But you cannot doubt that I love you, and that I am rejoiced at the prospect of your re turning health?" "No, my own sister, I have never doubted your affection, for I have had too many demonstration , ' of its power to doubt, if I would." This week was the happiest of all their lives, and, according to Madge's language, it seemed like one long, happy day. As Madge Newton descended the stairs for the first time since her banishment, she felt a trifle mortified; but Willie's words, "Be brave!" rang in her ears, and she gained courage. She crossed the ball, and knocked at the overseer's room : the door was immediately opened by Mr. Harden. "I have come, sir, to apologize for the rude conduct which took place a week ago to-day," said Madge. "My love of my only and best friend, was very great, and my rebellious spirit obtained the mastery. lam sorry, Mr. Harden, and hope you will see fit to forgive me. I have indulged very bitter feelings against you; but I assure you, sir, that these have all been banished by the kind ness which you have shown to myself and•brother. have learned to love you, and shall always re member to be obedient to your slightest command. For fear that you might think that I am following the dictates of my brother's heart by coming to you, I must say that he is ignorant of the scene, and will be only too pleased to learn that I have offered you this apology. Am I forgiven, sir?" "Twice over, my child!" replied Mr. Harden. As he paced the floor, a close observer might have seen a tear start into the man's eye;---then, suddenly pausing, he placed his hands upon the young girl's head, saying, "I have learned a les son, my child, and may God help me to keep it. I have been too hasty; and, Madge, if I have ever, punished you when innocent, I know you can for give?" "Oh, sir! pray don't think of such a thing. Only forgive me, and I am satisfied," said Madge. "Your wish to he forgiven is only too easily granted," answered Mr. Harden, as he grasped Madge's hand. The young girl immediately ran to find 'Willie, who was busily engaged in 'piling .up the wood which had been split. "Oh, Willie! I have good news for you. I have learned to love even. 411 r. Harden." S. P. D. "Have you, sister?" said Willie, throwing down his armful of wood in astonishment, "Come here, dear Madge, and sit by my side, upon this old saw-buck, and tell me where you saw Mr. Harden, and what he said to my sister." After Madge was seated, she told the story from beginning to end: how she had knocked at Mr. Harden's door, and how she had been forgiven. `Willie Newton gazed,at his sister as she related her tale with that admiration which can only come from a brother's eye. After Madge had finished, he commenced to kick the dust, absorbed in deep thought. At length he raised his head, and said: "Sister, don't you remember that morning when I said, 4 lf God be with us, who eau be against us?' that you smiled iu your tears, and asked me what it meant ?" "Yes, I remember perfectly," answered Madge. "Nell, do you not think God has been with us?" "Yes, I can now see, Willie, why you repeated that proverb so often," said Madge, thoughtfully. A year from this day, a wealthy gentleman, from England arrived at the almshouse, and in quired fur his sister's children, who proved to be Willie and Madge Newton. Their little hearts were gladdened at this news; and it was when the children were busy in gathering together their scanty clothing, that Willie found time to say— " Dear sister, 'lf God be with us, who can be against us ?"

Tribune: Total receipts for last year 58,209,556 Total expenditures 15,377,818 Deficit In seven States only thdre was an excess of re ceipts over expenditures, viz: New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware. From stamps and letter postage the receipts were largest in the five following States, and in this order: New York, Pennsylvania, Massachu setts, Ohio and Illinois. From registered letters the receipts in the whole Union were but 625,038. In newspaper postage the order of receipts is: I—New York. 2—Pennsylvania. 3—Ohio. 4—lllinois. s—Massachusetts. 6—lndiana. 7 —V ir ginia. B—Georgia. Of the Revenue, 86,706,298 comes from stamps, or within a million and a half of the whole. The ten most expensive states were as follows. We give the amount by which the expenses ex ceeded the revenue: 1. California, .$774,942 2.Torns, 578,103 3. Missouri, 426,714 4. Wisconsin,..... 357,698 5. Louisiana, 357,693 G. Arkansas, . 289,808 7. Alabama, 282,351 8. Ohio, 280,462 9. Virginia, 255,335 10. Mississippi, '251,904 No others came np to noo,ooo. The "Confederate States" paid in $936,101, and cost $2,879,523. Excess of expenditures over:receipts $1,943,422. That is they cost nearly three millions in post office way and paid back less than one million. The free States paid in nearly six millions and cost a little over seven millions. Leaving out California, Wisconsin and Ohio, they would have paid their way. Ohio seems to have cost too much for some reason, the expenses being larger. than in any free State ex cept California and New York, viz: $312,729, while Pennsylvania, with a larger territory, and 600,000, more people, got on with $630,640, paying in $170,000 revenue. The Ledger, in noticing the fact, that the Le gislature proposes to repeal all laws exempting from taxation real estate, and all property ex cept church property, thinks the true principle "Is to exempt no property at all, but make all alike subject to taxation, whether it be pro perty of churches, charitable societies, asylums, colleges, seminaries, or public schools. Every dollar's worth of property protected by the laws should bear its equal tax. if the State for public purposes wishes to encourage religious or charitable associations, it should do so di rectly by appropriation , from the treasury. Then the measure of its beneficence would be knoWn and could be equalized. Now some societies receive a much larger share of public support, through exemption from taxation, thou others, without any better claims to deserving it." We beg leave to differ with our excellent friend on the subject of taxing church property. Were it not for our churches, it would cost the city millions of dollars to support the victims of vice and immorality. Exempting church pro perty from taxation is a respectable and polite way of granting that which few churches would ask for as an appropriation. Besides, the churches are built by private subscriptions, and every man concerned is taxed in his private ca pacity to help to support the Government. ........7,088,254 TAXING CHURCHES.

The history of the rise of the Dutch Republic and of the United Netherlands, is very encou raging to the American people in the present condi tion o the country. No one can trace the pro gress of civil and religious liberty, amidst the thousand perils which ever threatened their de struction, without gathering strength to fight their battles in every contingency. William the Silent was environed by every danger, and yet with most insufficient means, he bore his beloved Nether lands through them all. We are not of the number of those who despair of our Republic. No one can be more profoundly impressed than we are by the dangers that sur round us, but there is a tendency in such circum stances, to forget the lessons of history. Men feel as though our case were altogether peculiar, and because there is much danger and excitement imagine that all is lost. But how many revolu tions and conquests have nations survived, and still remained great, or have grown greater through them. The original Gaul, inhabited by its Celtic race, was conquered by enemies from across the Rhine, and became France. Successive fami lies of kings were superseded, by others, the boundaries of the nation were extended to include Germany and Italy, and again contracted. The war of the League, the massacre of St. Bartholo mew, the Revocation of the Edict of Nantz, the disorders of the Fronde, succeeded, but France still remained powerful. The corruption of the Court and the oppression of the people, culminated in the Revolution, and this was succeeded by the wars of Napoleon the First. The boundaries again expanded, and were again contracted. Bourbon succeeded Bonaparte, and Orleans suc ceeded Bourbon, and finally Napoleon the Third, Orleans, and still France remains a first class power in Europe. The• same historical survey in regard to our mother country may encourage us. The original Celtic population—if they were the first—were conquered by the Roman. To the Roman suc ceeded the Saxon, driving the Celts northward' and westward to the mountains. Against the Saxon tumultuated the Dane, and all at last were subjugated by the Norman. But even then the country was by no means settled. The conflicts of York and Lancaster rent the nation for several reigns—civil war of the worst kindr county divi ded against county, and family marshalled against family. The wars of the Commonwealth again led brother to imbrue his• hand in tha blood of brother, and for many years persecution added its horrors to the other causes which seemed about to destroy England. Yet she rose from all these conflicts, and grew ever stronger and stronger. These volumes, [Motley's History,] teach us the same lesson from the feiks of e llolland; and in this respect they come most opportunely, impress in.,- as they do almost the whole nation. The scale, indeed, of the working is small compared with our vast territory, but the lesson is the same. Liberty, intelligence, religion—these are vital forces, and all the power of despotism cannot re strain them. England and Holland stood against the world and were victorious. This half drowned land, rescued from the sea, became the w.atchword of liberty, and a model of a confederate republic. The question in all such cases lies mainly, not in the character or fortunes of the government, but in the spirit of the people. It is remarkable that the nature of the government attempted by the "Confederate States" resembles so very closely that of the Union. Their flag is very nearly our own, after all the canvassing over end less emblems that were proposed. Some amend ments, indeed, were made, but most of them are real improvements. The tendency in Americans to create a constitutional government is irresisti ble. Indeed, if every vestige of .a government were destroyed to-day, the Anglo-Saxon construc tiveness and horror of confusion, would begin at once to create one. If each state is sound, in some form we will have a representative Repub lic. Besides, it is evident that nothing but slavery• can divide this Union. The principle of union, in other words, is stronger than everything but slavery: It is, indeed, grievous to see the attempt to construct a nation, whose liberty, learning, vir tue and religion, shall rest upon the basis of slavery. It is very plain that it cannot last. But the fact itself of the potency of union, is full of hope. Already Territories are formed about equal to the number of States that have attempted to secede, and there is in the national domain room for very many more. This is but a phase of our great history. We have, we trust a long and brilliant future before us. Presbyterian Quarterly Review. A TRACT FOR THE TIMES. WASHINGTON'S REPORT TRANSMITTING THE CON- STITUTION TO CONGRESS In Convention, Sept.l7th, 1787. Srn,:—We have now the honor to submit to the consideration of the United States, in Con gress assembled, the Constitution which has ap peared to us the most advisable. The friends of our country have long seen and desired, that the power of making war, peace, and treaties, that of levying money, and regulating commerce, and the correspondent executive and judicial authorities, should be fully and effectually vested in the General Government of the Union; but the impropriety of delegating such extensive trust to one body of men is evident. Hence re sults the necessity. of a different organization. It is obviously impracticable, in the Federal Government of these States, to secure all rights of independent sovereignty to each, and yet pro vide for the interest and safety of all. Individu als entering into Society must give up a share of liberty to preserve the rest. The magnitude of the sacrifice must depend as well on situation and circumstance, as on the object to be obtained. It is at all times difficult to draw with precision thii line between those rights which must be sur rendered and those which may be reserved; and on the present occasion this difficulty was increased by ,a difference 'among the several States, as to their situation, extent, habits, and particular inte rests. In all our deliberations on this subject, we kept, steadily in our view that which appears to us the greatest interest oCevery,true American, the con solidation of our union, in which is involved our prosperity, felicity, safety, perhaps our National existence. .This iwportaut consideration, , seriously and deeply impressed on our winds, led each State in the Convention .to, be less rigiikon points of inferior magnitude, than might have been otherwise expected, and thus the Constitution which we now present, is the result of a spirit of amity and of that mutual deference and conces sion, which the peculiarity of our political situa tion rendered indispensable. it That it will meet the full and entire approba tion of every State is not, perhaps, to be expected; but each will doubtless consider that, had her in terest alone been consulted, the consequences . might have been particularly disacereeable or injurious to others; that it is liable Co as few exceptions as could reasonably have been expected, we hope and believe; that it may promote the lasting wel fare of that. country so dear to us all, and secure her freedom and happiness, is our most ardent wish. With great respect, we have the hondr to be, sir, your Excellency's most obedient and huwble servant, GEORGE WASHINGTON, PRESIDENT. By the unanimous order of the Convention. His Excellency the President of Congress. THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.—The design of the Washington Monument contemplates a shaft six hundred feet in height. The obelisk is fifty-five feet square at the base, and the walls at that point are fifteen feet thick, gradually taper ing on the outside. The inside wall is perpen dicular, and the enclosed space is twenty-five feet Fquare. The walls will ascend until the, gentle taper reduces it to two feet in thickness. The Monument is now 170 feet high, and has host thus far $230,000. When completed, it will be the highest monument in the world. ABANDONING THE CIGAR. One doesn't like to be found in bad company, for it reflects on personal character and habits. If all Christians who are slaves to the use of an odious weed, would imitate Dr. Cox in breaking away from the low society with which it allies them, they would be the gainers, and Christian self-denial would have a weighty influence upon others: • . From fifteen to thirty, I, am ashamed to say, I smoked. My conscience:' often upbraided me, as well as my best earthly friend. ' Still I made ex cuses. My physician, to smoker, helped me to some; and so I cautioned, till once, on board a steamer, a drunken o:Rieman, who felt and claimed a fuliginous br4therhood to me, though I recollected him not a all, came strutting up to me, and bringing his gog-smoked fumes almost e t in contact with my mon , said with tuneful eruc tation, " Give me a-a I-1 t, Dr. Cox?"

THE CENTRAL Sur. Within the last few years au hypothesis has been advanced concerning the possibility of 'the existe ce of a central sun. The investigations have bee, prosecuted more particu larly by M. Maedler, a eminent piropean astro nomer. The great este, tof the range of influence exercised by the law o gravitation, suggested the high probability that I the assemblage of stars with which our syste a is • connected, there is a centre of gravity aro4 , ,,which they revolve. In order, if possiblei.io establish this theory by the facts of the unive' ,•Meedler carried out his observations of the hea enly bodies with great per severance and ingenui ', and was induced to di rect special attention fdthe constellation Taurus, and particularly to t star Aldebaran, which seethed to have the neatest approximation to the conditions required. urther investigation, how ever, showed that the sition and movement of this star failed, in som essential respects, to an swer the required eon tions. He subsequently ascertained that the s r Alcyone, in the group of the Pleiades, occupi d the desired point. He discovered fourt en conspicuous stars, be sides many that were a aller, around this central one, and when the p per motions of all these were determined, they ere found to be in the same direction, and all early equal to each other. Within fifteen degrees ' this centre there are also sixty stars, moving uth, or in accordance with the hypothesis th Alcyone is the centre, forty-nine exhibiting n well-defined motion, and only one which appears to move contrary to the computed direction. A uming Alcyone to be the ,grand centre of.etir astr l system, and the direc tion of the'sun's motto as determined by Arge lender and Struve, he iikestigated the consequent movements of all the stat in every quarter of the heavens. The result of the resew hes of Needier led him to the conclusion that Al'w one, the principal star in the group of the PIO. , es, occupies the centre of gravity, and that arou , ) it the universe of stars composing our astral sys em all revolve. The dis tance of this star is esti , nted to be so immense, that the light proeeedin I from it would require a period of five hundred' d thirty-seven years to traverse the mighty in • rval which separates it from the sun. ..

AYER'S SARSALeARELLA, For Purifying the Blood, And for the speedy cure of the subjoined Tarieties of Disease Scrofula and Scrofulous Affections, such as Tumors, ul cers, Sores, Bruptions,. Pimples, Pustules, Blotches, Boils, Blaine; and all Blatt Diseases. Scrofula, or King's Boil, is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades 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 liring, disordered or un healthy food, impure air, tlith and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection. Whatever be its origin, it is hereditary In the constitution, descending "from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation;' indeed, it seems to be the rod of Him. who says,—" I will visit the inigutiee of the fathers upon their children.' Its effects commence by deposition from the blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter; which, in the lungs, liver, and, internal organs, Latermed tubercee; in the glands, swellings; and, on the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul corruption, which genders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, ea that scrofulous constitutions not only suffer from scrofulous complaints, but they have far less power to withstand the attacks of other diseases' consequenlly, vast numbers perish by disorder; which, although not scrofulous in their nature, are still rendered Leta! 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. eh-octave diseases of the Uver, 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 persons are in vaded by this lurking infection,, and their health Is undermined by it,. To cleatiscit from the system, we must renovate the blood by an alterative medicine, and invigorate it by healthy food and exer cise. Such a medicine we supply in Ayer's Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla. Oakland, Intl., 6th Amu ISM J. C.".dyer Cb.: Gents::l feel it my duty to acknowledge what your Sarsaparilla has done for me. Having inherited a Scrofulous infection, I have suffered from it in various ways for years. Some times it burst out in lacers on my bands and arms; sometimes it turned inward and distressed me at the stomach. Two Years ago it broke out on my heed, and covered my scalp and ears with one sore, which was painful and loathsome beyond dermription. I tried many medicines and several physicians, bit without much.rellef from any thing. In fact the disorder grew worse. At length I was rejoiced to read in the Gospel Messenger that you had prepared an alterative (Sarsaparilla,) for I knew from your reputation that anything you made must be good. I sent to Cincinnati and got it, and used it till itcured Me. l took it, as you advise, in small doses of a teaspoon ful. over a month, and used almost.three bottles. 23iSr sod healthy skin sooribegan to form under the scab., which after awhile. ell off.
