At Carmel's mount the prophet laid His offering on the altnr-stone, And fire descended from the skies, And round the holy altar shone ; And thus, when spring went smiling past, Our offerings on the earth were oast, And God’s own blessing has come down, Our sacrifice of faith to crown. No oonqueror o'er our fields has gone, To blast with war our summer bowers, And stain with blood of wo and guilt, The soil that giveth life to flowers; But morning dews and evening rains Have fallen on our beauteous plains, And earth, through all her realms abroad, Gives baok me image of her God. Bright with the Autumn’s richest tints, Each hill lifts up its head on high, And spreads its fruit and blossoms out, An offering meerfieneath the sky; And hill, and plain, aud vale and grove, Join In the saorlflee of love, And wind, aud stream, and lake, and sea, Lift high their hymns of eostaoy. It is the festival of earth— * The flame of love o’er nature burns, And to the holy-heavens goes up ' Like incense from a thousand urns; And oh, let roan’s impassioned voice, With nature’s self In song rejoice, "Until the blended notes of love Bing from the templed*areh above. WORKMAN OR GOD. Workman of God 1 O lose not heart. But learn what God is like; Aud in the darkest battle-field Thou shalt know where to strike. 0 blessed is he to whom is given The instinct that can tell That God is on the field, when he Is most invisible. And blessed is he who can dive Where real light doth lie, And dares to take the side that seems Wrong to man’s blinded eje. 0 learn to scorn the praise of menl 0 learn to love with God 1 For Jesus won the field through shame, And beckons us this road. For right is right, BinceGod is God, And right the day must win; To doubt would be disloyalty. To falter would be sin, TIE BOY AND THE FAMILY ALTAR I knew a little toy whose pious father died when lie was in his fifth year; and when he fell in death, the family altar fell with him. After H time that little boy thought how he onee sat on his father’s knee at family worship, how the praises of God were sung, and how he knelt by his ohair as be offered up to God the morning and evening sacrifice; and he longed to erect anew the family altar, But there was his brother, older than he, and he felt shy and afraid to speak of it; yut as he expressed his desire to pious friends, they urged him to the duty. ... , Coming in one evening and finding his mother alone, he took the Bible and openiug it at the troth chapter of Jeremiah, pointed with his finger to the twenty-fifth verse, which reads thus: “Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not upon thy uamo.” . . She read the verse, and her tears fell upon the page. She understood bis meaning, and no doubt felt the rebuke. She said she would speak to his older brothers when i.they came in, as it was their duty rather thau his to conduct family wor ship. She did speak to them, but they refused tn do it, and opposed it. When they had each and all refused, the little boy took the Bible and psalm-book, and looking up to God for help, be gan to read. They all arose and left the room, Fearing him and his mother to conduct the wor ship as they pleased. In the morning his brothers did the same, and so continued to do for a \png time. They also began to persecute him by insults and had treatment, in which his mother rather joined than opposed. He was in the of at tending meetings of prayer in the evenings, and was frequently called on to visit and pray with his siok companions, and if on such occasions he hud not got home by nine o’elook, the door was look ed against him. His brothers continued so to persecute him for about two yearn, till some of liis pious friends advised him to leave the family; but he delayed in hope —nor was his hope put to sbnine. Just then one of his brothers kept his seat during morning worship, but he neither joined in the song of praise, nor knelt in prayer. Not long after this another kept his seat, and by-and by all of them, though they took no part in the devotions, but merely sat as spectators. At last one joined his voice in the song of praise, then another and another. Soon after this, one knelt iu prayer, shortly after another, then another, and toou all the family were kneeling before God. 11 was not long after this that he observed one an d another of them retiring, and heard them praying to God in secret; nor had he long now to wait till he had the happiness of seeing them all in the king dom of God, having “ first given themselves to the Lord Christ, and to his church.” Then each of ihem took bis turn in conducting family wor ship, and by every act of kindness tried to atone for the unkind ness they had shown their little brother. That little boy became a young man; and when taking his last fond embrace of his widowed mo ther, before he left to go os a missionary to the heathen, she said to him, “You are not my son only, bnt my father; I owe the salvation of my soul to you, as being the means of it.” His old- j eat brother said to him, “Had I been treated in j this house as you have been by us for so long a i time, I should have been guilty of some rash act. j It was your meekness and endurance that first] smote my heart and convinced my conscience.” Ills other brothers Baid, “You are not only our brother after the flesh, but our father after the spirit; nor was the change effected so much by wbat you said to us, as by your example.” And what wonders has not example wrought, when but one says, “I am the Lord’s!” The conversion of one sinner is almost certain to lead to the conversion of‘Others, and the “obedience of one” to be followed by that of many. Who of the dear youth will go and do likewise? Who of them will first say, “I am the Lord’s?” Many, no doubt, feel its importance, but wait for others. Sister waits for brother, brother waits for sister, wife waits for husband, husband waits for wife, and children wait for parents. Wait no longer for any. Flee for your life! They for whom you wait, influenced by your example, will come after you, fleeing from the wrath to come, as did the mother and brothers of this little fatherless boy. American Messenger. the needle and the thread. " Mamma! ” said a little girl, watching her mother’s busy fingers, “which is really the most u.-eful, the needle or the thread?” Yon smile at such a question, and so did the mother, as she replied that "one would be of no use with out the other, in sewing;" but at the same time she thought how often a strife had been raised noon the same point, among those who depend noon each other as much as do the needle and the thread. The rich and the poor, the states man and the merchant, the man who works with his hands and he who works with his brain, could neither do without the other. And so it is in the church; each has his own place and work, however small or hnroble he may be. I read nut long since, of a poor old colored woman, who had for years been confined to a bed of si ffering. She was visited by a good rich roan who said to her “Betty, does it not seem m you very strange that God should keep yon here so long, When yon can do nothing in the world?” "Ahl maBsa,’ J «aaid the good old wo rn an," vott ho understand! Heavenly Father have me to do. You can give a great deal of money, Massa B , but it will not do the church much good, without poor old Betty’s prayers I ” and old Betty was right. It is just as Paul said—“ The eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee! Neither, again, the head to the feet, I have no need of you 1 ” Let us each be content with the place and the work which God has given us, dear children; and never despise any one whom we think is in a lower' station, or has fewer gifts than ourselves. He may be making the best use of those gifts, be far more useful in the world than we!— Children's Quest. SHAKING OUT THE BEEF. BY THE BEV. JOIIN TODD, D.D. On the wide ocean, between us and India, the winds blow for weeks in one direction. Then the ship moves on day and night, safely, rapidly, and pleasantly. A sea captain has been heard to say that he has sailed his ship six weeks, without alter ing a sail. These are called the “ Trade Winds.” “I will tell you a fact about drinking,” said a noble old sea captain. “ And I tell you, boys, that when people say, ‘it don’t hurt anybody to drink, if they don’t drink too much,’ they don't know what' they are talking about. There is no such thing as drinking spirits, without drinking too much. When I used to sail to India, and got into the trade winds, I used to put all the sail on my ship which' she would possibly bear. But I no ticed a curious fact. Every inorni ng about eleven o’clock, I used to go down into my cabin and take a good horn of brandy. Before going down, I would cast my eye over the ship, see that every sail was full, and every rope taut. She was unaer all the sail she could safely carry. On coming up out of the cabin, having taken my brandy, it always seemed as if the ship was sailing too slow, and the winds had fallen. Then Iwould cry, ‘up there, lads, and shake out that reef. For about thirty tninutes, my poor ship would stagger under the new press of sail. By that time, when my brandy began to subside, I found she was under too heavy a pressure, the winds seemed to blow harder, and again I would shout, ‘up there, lads, and clew up that reef.’ So I found it day after day, and was utterly unable to account for the lull in the wind just about that hour. But one day, I was unwell, and omitted my brandy, and overheard my cook, black Caesar, say, ‘Captain drink no brandy to day-guess no shake out reef!’ Then I under stood all! From that time I dropt my brandy, and there was no change in the sails of my ship. I drank moderately, and yet it was too much, and it would not have been strange, if I had lost my ship in consequence. I tell you, boys, there is no such thing as drinking, without drinking too much!” It’s even so. We don’t know but a little about it. Many a ship master has felt cold or hot, tired or sleepy, vexed and troubled, and has gone to the bottle, gained courage to be rash, “shaken out the reef,” till his ship was dashed on the rooks, or swamped in the seas. Many a physician has been worn down by la bors and anxieties, bis nerves weak, and his mind wavering, and has gone to the bottle, and thus he “ shakes out the reef," is rash in dealing his pow erful medicines, and he loses his patients, loses self-reliance, and the confidence of the community, and he loses practice and character, and is ruined. Many a merchant drinks a little, feels more con fidence makes bargains when thus stimulated — “shakes out his reef”' —and is ruined. Many a mechanic takes a contract which he ex amined after drinking a little, forgot the number of hard blows it would cost to complete it, and thus he “ shakes out the reef,” and is ruined. Many a young man falls into jovial company, feels that it would not he manly to refuse to drink with them, and he drinks, “shakes out the reef,” and acquires a taste that is his destruction. And many a bright boy, the hope of his father and the pride of his mother, early learns to drink a little, and thus he “ shakes out the reef," disap points the hopes of his friends, Jives a poor crea ture, dies a drunkard, and reads over the gate of heaven, “no drunkard shall inherit eternal life.” S. S. Times. MATURE LIFE BETTER THAN CHILD- HOOD. It 13 very natural that a man should be blinded and pained by passing from a shaded room into dazzling sunlight. It is a serious thing to leap from a luxurious, enervating warm bath into cold water. All sudden transitions are shocking; and God has contrived the transitions of our lives so that they shall be mainly gradual. .It is not to be wondered at that many men and women, by having the responsibilities of men and women thrust upon them too early, are shocked, and look back upon the shady places they have left, and long to rest their eyes there. It is not strange that men recoil from a plunge into the world’s cold waters, and long to creep back into the bath from which they have suddenly risen. But that man or woman, having fully passed into the estate of man and woman, should desire to become children again, is impossible. It is only the half developed, the badly developed, the imperfectly nurtured, the mean-spirited, and the demoralized, who look back to the innocence, the helplessness, and the simple animal joy and content of child hood with genuine regret for their loss. I want no better evidence that a person’s life is regard ed by himself as a failure, than- that furnished by his honest willingness to be restored to his childhood; When a man is ready to relinquish the power of his mature reason, his strength and skill for self-support, the independence of his will and life, his bosom companion and children, his interest in the stirring affairs of his: time, his part in deciding the great questions which agitate his age and nation, his intelligent apprehension of the relations which exist between himself and his Maker, and his rational hope of immortality—if he have one —for the negative animal content, and frivolous enjoyments of a child, he does not deserve' the name of a man. He is a weak, unhealthy, broken-down creature, or a base poltroon. Yet I know there are those who will read this I sentence with tears, and with complaint. I know ! there are those whose existence has been a long 1 struggle with sickness and trial —who.se lives have been crowded with great griefs and disappoint ments —who sit in darkness and impotency while the world rolls by them. They have seen no joy and felt no content since childhood, and many of: them look with genuine pity upon children be cause the careless creatures do not know into what a heritage of sin and sorrow they are entering. I have only to say to them that the noblest ex hibitions of manhood and womanhood I have ever seen, or the world has ever seen, have been among their number. A woman with the hope of heaven in her eyes, incorruptible virtue in her heart, and honesty, in every endeavor, has smiled serenely, a million times in this world, while her life and all its earthly expectations were in ruins. Patient suf ferers upon beds of pain have forgotten childhood, years ago, and, feeding their souls on prayer, have looked forward with unutterable joy to the transi tion from womanhood to angelhood. Men utterly forsaken by friends—contemned, derided, pro scribed, persecuted —have stood by their convic tions with joyful heroism and calm content. Nay, great multitudes have marched with songs upon their tongues to the rack and the stake, The no blest speotaele the world affords is that of a man or j woman, rising superior to sorrow and suffering —transforming sorrow and suffering into nutri ment —accepting those, conditions of their life which Providence prescribes, and building them selves up into an estate from whose summit the step is short to a glorified humanity. Before me hangs the portrait of an old man—■ the only man I ever loved with a devotion that has never faded, though long years have passed away since ho died. His cairn blue eyes look down upon me, and I look into them, and through them I look into a golden memory—into a life of self.denial—into a meek, toiling, honest, heroic Christian manhood—into an uncomplaining spirit —into a grateful heart—into a soul that never sighed over a lost joy, though all his earthly en terprises miscarried. The tracery of care and of sickness is upon his haggard features, but I see in them and in "the soul which they represent to me, the majesty of manliness. While' I look, the kittens still play at the door, and, the noise of shouting children in the street; but ah 1 how shal fmmtatt f tigftgtmait at low is the life they represent, compare _ of which this dumb canvass toils me. I ' to be a man or a woman than a child, ter to be an angel than to be either. Le forward-never backward. Titcomb . glmdlaiuous. ME- HOLT’S LATE ADDRESS TO THE , SOLDIERS. We give a large portion of this eloquent and stirring appeal, which must strengthen the impres sion already made by its patriotic author upon his fellow-citizens of Kentucky, in favour of active and vigorous co-operation with the National Go- vernment. It is not my purpose to occupy you with any political discussion. The gleaming banner, the glistening bayonets, and the martial music, and, indeed, all that meets the eye or the ear upon this tented field, admonish me, that with you, at least, the argument is exhausted, and that you have no longer° doubts to solve, or hesitating convictions to confirm. Four resolution is taken, and you openly proclaim that, let others do as they will, as for yourselves, unchilled by the Arctic airs of neu trality, you are determined to love your country, and, unawed by traitors, to fight its battles, and, if need be, to lay down yonr lives for its preserva tion. It is, indeed, transporting to the patriot’s heart, to look upon the faces of men that are thus sublimely resolved, and there is for me a positive enchantment in the very atmosphere, whose pulsa tions have been stirred by the breathings of their heroic spirits. Now, that the booming of the cannon of treason, and the cry of men stricken unto death for fidelity to our flag are borne to us on almost every breeze, it is harrowing to the soul to be dragged into companionship with those who still vacillate, who are still timidly balancing chances, and coldly calculating losses and gains— who still persist in treating this agonized struggle for national existence as a petty question of com merce, and deliberately take out their scales and weigh in our presence, the beggarly jewels of trade against the life of our country. ' * * * Carry with you the complete, assurance that ere long you will have not only the moral, but the ma terial support of Kentucky. Not many weeks can elapse before this powerful Commonwealth will make an exultant avowal of her loyalty, and will stand erect before the country, stainless and true, as the truest of her sisters of the Union. In the scales of the momentous events now occurring,her weight should be, and will be felt. Already she is impatient, and will not much longer, under the pressure of any policy, submit to shrink away into the mere dust of the balances. . . Have no fears as to the vigorous and ultimately successful prosecution of this war; and feel no alarm as to the expenditure it must involve, or as to those startling steps, seemingly smacking of the exercise of absolute authority, which the Adminis tration may be forced' from time to time to take. While, doubtless, all possible economy will be ob served, it is apparent that no considerations of that kind can be permitted, for a moment, to mo dify the policy which has been resolved upon. When the life of the patient is confessedly at Stake, it would be as unwise as it would be inhu man, to discuss the question of the physician's fee before summoning him to the bedside. Besides, all now realize that the system of arith metic is yet to be invented which could estimate in dollars and cents the worth of our institutions. This terrible emergency, with all its dangers and duties, was unforeseen by the founders of our Go vernment, and by those who subsequently admi nistered it, and it must make laws for itself. The Government has been like a strong swimmer sud denly precipitated into the sea, and like that swim mer it has unhesitatingly and most justifiably seized upon any and every instrumentality with which it could subdue the treacherous currents and waves by wbieh it haß found itself surrounded. All that was .irregular or illegal in the action of the President has been fully approbated by the country, and will, no doubt, be approbated by Con gress, on the broad and incontestable principle that laws and usages of administration designed to preserve the existence of the nation, should not be suffered to become the instruments of its death. So, for the future, I do not hesitate to say that any and every measure required to save the re public from the perils that beset it, notoaly.may, but ought to be taken by the Administration, promptly and fearlessly. Within so brieAa period no such gigantic pow er has ever been placed at the disposal of any Go vernment as that which rallied to the support of this within the last few months, through those volunteers who have poured alike from hill and valley, city and village, throughout the loyal States. All classes aud all pursuits have been ani- j mated by the same lofty and quenchless enthusi asm. While, however, I would makeno invidious distinctions, where all have so nobly done their duty, I cannot refrain from remarking how con spicuous the hard-handed tillers of the soil of the North and West have made themselves in swell ing the ranks of our army. We honor commerce with its busy marts, and the workshop, with its patient toil and exhaustless ingenuity, but still we would be unfaithful to the 'truth, of history, did we not confess that the most heroic champion's of human freedom and the most illustrious apostles' of its principles have come from the broad field of agriculture. There seems to he something in the scenes of nature, in her wild and beautiful landscapes, in her cascades, and cataracts, and woodlands, and exhilarating airs of her hills and mountains, that unbraces the fetters which man would rivet upon the spirit of his fellow-man. It was at the handles of the plow and amid the breathing odors of the newly opened furrows,- that the character of Cin cinnatus was formed, expanded and matured. It was hot in the full city, hut in the deep gorges and upon the snow-elad summits of the Alps, amid the eagles and the thunders, that William Tell laid the foundations of those altars to-hu man liberty, against which the surging tides of European despotism have beaten for centuries, but, tliank God, have beaten in vain. It was amid the primeval forests and mountains, the lakes and leaping streams of our own land; amid fields andwaving grain; amid the songs of the reaper and the tinkliogs of the shepherd’s bell, that were nurtured those rare virtues which clustered, starlike, in the character of Washington, and lifted him, in moral stature, a head and shoulders above even the demigods of ancient story. * * * * But when you meet in battle array, those atro cious conspirators, who, at the, head of armies, and through woes unutterable, are seeking the ruin of our common country, remember that since the sword flamed over the portals of Paradise un til now, it has been drawn in no holier cause than that in which you are engaged. Remember, too, the millions whose hearts are breaking under the anguish of this terrible crime, and then strike boldly, strike in the power- of truth and duty, strike with a bound and a shout, well assured that your blows will fall upon ingrates, and trai tors, and parricides, whose lust for power would make this bright land one vast Golgotha, rather than be balked of their gnilty aims, and may the God of your fathers give you the victory. I should have rejoiced to meet you within the limits of yonder proud commonwealth, from whence you came, and whose name you bear, but wise and patriotic men, whose motives I respect while dissenting from their conclusions, have willed it should he otherwise. Here, however, you are in the midst of friends, and have doubtless received a brother’s welcome on the soil of a State which is not only loyal, but proud of her loyalty—a State which, by the marching of her volunteers, announces every hour what a portion of her peo ple have recently proelamed by formal resolution, that “ the suppression of this rebellion is worth more to the world than all our lives and all our money,” and that she “cares nothing for life or worldly goods, when they can only he enjoyed amid the ruing of our country." No Spartan hero under the grandest inspiration of patriotism ever uttered nobler sentiments than these. In diana and Kentucky, it is true, are separated by a broad river, but in their history it has only proved a thread of light and beauty; across whiob their hands and their hei clasped in friendship and in In those stirring conflict have arisen in the past, thej and on more than one blo< shoulder, they have borne thickest of the fight, that g stars, I trust, will never gro presence here to-day is a that, in the momentous cont( I we stand, these States, so It divided.

Water is as indispensable to all life, whether vege table or animal, as is the air itself. From the cedar on the mountains to the lichen that clings to the wall; from the mastodon that pastures on the forests to the animalcule that floats in the snnbeam; from the levia than that heaves the sea into billows, to the microsco pic creatures that swarm a million in a single foam drop; all alike depend for their existence on this sin gle element, and must perish if it be withdrawn. But this element of water is supplied entirely by the sea. All the waters that are in the rivers, the lakes, the foun tains, the vapors, the dew, the rain, the snow, eome alike out of the ocean. Itis a common impression that it is the flow of the rivers that fills the sea. It is a mistake. It is the flow of the sea that fills the rivers. The streams do not make the ocean, but the ocean makes the streams. We say that the rivers rise in the mountains and run to the sea; but the truer state ment is, that the rivers rise in the sea and run to the mountains; than that their passage thence is only their homeward journey to the place from which they started. All the water in the rivers has once been in the clouds; and the clouds are but the condensation of the invisi ble vapor that floats in the air; and all this vapor has been lifted into the air by the heat of the sun playing upon the ocean. Most persons have no impression of the amount of water which the ocean is continually pouring into the sky, and which the sky itself is send ing down in showers to refresh the earth. If they were told that there is a river above .the clouds equal in size to the Mississippi or the Amazon; that this river is drawn up out of the sea, more than a mile high; that it is always full of water, and that it is more than twenty-five thousand miles in length, reachiug clear round the globe, they would call it a very extravagant assertion. And yet not only is this assertion substan tially true, but very much more than this is true. If all the waters in the sky were brought into one chan nel, they would make a stream more than fifty times as large as the Mississippi or the Amazon. How many rivers are there in the sky? Just as many as there are on the earth. If they were not first in the sky, how could they be on the earth? If it is the sky that keeps them full, then the sky must always have enough to keep them full-; that is, it must always be pouring down into them just as much as they themselves are pouring down into the sea. It is computed that the water which falls from the clouds every year, would cover the whole .earth to the depth of five feet; that is, if the earth were a level plain, it would spread Over it an ocean of water five feet deep reaching round the whole globe. The sky, therefore, has not only a river of water; but a whole oeean of it. And it has all come out of the sea; The sea, therefore, is the great inexhaustible fountain which is continually pouring up into the sky precisely as many streams, and as large, as all the rivers ofthe world are pouring into it. It is this which keeps the ocean at the same level from'ryear to year. If it were not sending off into the -hir pre cisely as mnch as it receives from the rivers, it\ would be continually rising on its shores, and would finally overflow all the lands of the earth. , And now if the sea is the real birthplace of the clouds and the rivers; if out of it come all the rains and dews of heaven; then instead of being a waste and an incumbrance, it is a vast fountain of fruitfulness, and*the nurse and mother of all the living. Out of its mighty breasts eome the resources that feed and support all the population of the. world. All cities, nations, and continents of men, all cattle and creeping things and flying fowl, all the insect race that people the airwith their million tribes innumerable, all grasses and grains that yield food for man and for beast, all flowers that brighten the earth with beauty, all trees of the field and forest that shade the plains with their lowly drooping, or that lift their banners of glory against the sky as they march over a thousand hills— all these wait upon the sea, that they may receive their meat in due season. That which it gives them they gather. It opens its hand, and they are filled with food: If it hides its face, they are troubled, their breath is taken away, they die and return to their dust. Omnipresent and everywhere alike is this need and blessing of the sea. It is felt as truly in the centre of the continent; where, it may be, the-rude inhabitant never heard of the ocean, as it is on the circumference of the wave beaten shore. He is surrounded, every mo ment, by the presence and-bounty of the sea. It is the sea that looks oat upon him-from every violet in his garden-bed; from every spire of grass that drops upon his passing feet the beaded dew.of the morning; from the rustling ranks of the growing corn; from the bending grain that fills the arms of the reaper; from the jniey globes of gold and crimson that burn amongst the green orchard foliage; from his bursting"presses and his barns that are filled with plenty ; from the broad forehead of his- cattle, and the rosy faces of his chil dren;-from the eool-dropping well at his door; from the brook that murmurs by its side, and from the elm and spreading maple that wave tbeir protecting branches beneath the sun, and swing their breezy shadows over his habitation. It is the sea that feeds him. It is the sea that clothes him. It is the sea that cools him with the summer cloud, and that warms him with the blazing fires of winter. He eats the sea, he drinks the s'ea,-he wears the :sea, -He ploaghs and' sows «nd reaps the : sea, he buys and sells the sea, and makes > wealth for himself and- his children out of its rolling waters, though he lives a thousand leagues away from the shore, and has -never looked on its crested beauty or listened to its eternal anthem. -■■■■' Thus the sea is not a \laste and an incumbrance. Though it bears no harvests on its bosom, it yet sus tains ail the harvests of the world. Though a desert itself, it makes all the other wildernesses of the earth to bud and blossom as the rose. Though its own wa ters are salt and wormwood; so that it cannot be tasted, it makes all the clouds of heaven to drop with sweet ness, opens springs in the valleys and rivers among the hills, and fountains in all dry places, and gives drink to all the inhabitants of the earth. —Bibliotheca Sacra. FOEEIGN ITEMS. A hew work has just appeared in Paris, exciting some attention. It is entitled, “ The American Re volution Unveiled;” and though for a time anony mous, is found to be from the pen of Judge Rust, one of the Commissioners of the Southern States now in Europe to negotiate in some way a recognition of the Southern Confederacy, especially by France and Great Britain. To secure this no stone_ is left un turned. Taking up his residence in Paris, and act ing well his part as an agreeable gentleman and an excellent French scholar, Judge Rust is using every art for the accomplishment of this obj ect. But as it is well understood that slavery has entered largely into the elements of all the present troubles in the United States, and as it is as well understood that the Southern Confederacy aim at the perpetuation of this system, the sympathies of the masses in Europe are decidedly on the side of the North. Some time since much interest was excited at the announcement of the discovery of a manuscript copy of the Bible dating in the fourth century. It was well known as the “ Codex Sinaiticus.” The Rus sian government; under whose auspices the discovery had been made, immediately took steps for its publi cation under the direction of Mr. Tischendorf. Re cently; however, as we learn from the London Lite rary Gazette, it is claimed that the work is not an an cient manuscript, but an entirely modern production, written by a gentleman now alive, and who will shortly take measures to establish the fact of his be ing its author himself. There is much of painfulintcrest in Poland. With as deep and determined spirit,as ever, the Poles hold on to their long cherished desire for individual and national liberty. But the. hard hand of power and oppression is on them. The Emperor of Russia, though he promised ameliorations and advantages, has utterly failed to grant them up to this time. In stead of having a National Diet or Council as they so anxiously desired, they have only a State Council, in which all the members are to be appointed by the Emperor, with a Russian majority,—-the proceedings to be in secret, —and the acts or decisions to -be merely opinions or wishes, and are to become laws or not, only as the Emperor shall please. In this Btate of affairs everything is in a sad condition. The political journals are closely watched. Business is almost entirely suspended. The working classes are in the want of work and food. There are no family festivals. All—all is Bad. The new Soltan in Turkey was formally crowned in the Mosque of Eyoub (Job) in Constantinople, on the 4th of July. It was a remarkable occasion. The whole city turned out to witness it, and every demon stration of festivity and joy accompanied it. From the mosque, where he was crowned he went to the tomb of his fathers, where he dismounted and reve rently prayed. Then he returned to the palace where he received the homage and congratulations of his officers. He is about thirty-two years of age, somewhat'portly, young and vigorous in his appear ance, and with the proud bearing of his father, the late Mahmoud 11. Immediately after coming into power hd sent 35,000 pounds of silver to the mint to be coined into money—-took 400 horses from the royal stables and attached them to the cavalry service in the army —shut up 1000 sultanas and other women of the palace in the seraglio; the only member of the late royal family who has a place assigned her is the Yalide Sultana, the mother of the two sons of Abdul Medjid. Upon her he has fixed a pension of 50,000 piastres a mouth. He shows mudb energy and life. The Stock Exchange is ono of the most remark able features of London wealth. The Government securities alone, and which constitute the National debt, amount to 14,500,000,000, the railway stocks to $1,500,000,000; those of the Bank of England to $150,000,000; of other banks to 350,000,000; em ployed in discounting, 330,000,000; and besides thiß, there are shares in canals, foreign lands, etc., to an almost unlimited amount. The stock market is very susceptible of being influenced by political events. The day that it was rumored that Russia and France had formed an alliance, bonds, etc., depreci ated $250,000,000, and seventy firms suspended. WATCH THE HEALTH OF YOUR CHIL- DREN. Worms are a prolific source of sickness in children.* They are seldom free from them, and by their irritation ail other diseases are aggravated. Convulsions, as well as St. Vitus* Dance, have been superinduced by them, and death has resulted in extreme cases. Whenever the symptomsare observed, such as disturbed sleep, grinding of the teeth, itching of the nose,* weakness of the bowels, slow fever, variable appetite and fetid breath, JAYNE’S TONIC VERMIFUGE should be resorted to without delay. It is entirely harmless, is readily taken by children, effectually de stroys worms, and by its' tonic action invigorates the whole system. It is prepared only by Da. B. Jayhe & Son, 242 Chestnut St., Philadelphia. COUGHS, COLDS, CONSUMPTION, Asthma, Bronchitis, &e.

BRONCHITIS readily yields to the Expectorant. It Subdues the inflammation which extends through the wind tubes, produces free expectoration, and suppresses at once the cough and pain. CONSUMPTION.—For this insidious and fatal disease, no remedy on earth has ever been found so effectual.

Read tie Following Statement: REV. RUFUS BABCOCK, D. D., Secretary of the American and Foreign Bible Society, writes:— “Having given Dr. D. Jayne.’s medicines a trial in my liwn family, and some of them personally, I do not hesi tate to commend them as a valuable addition to our materia medica. The EXPECTORANT especially I con sider of inestimable value, and I know that it is highly esteemed, and frequently prescribed by some of the most respectable of the regular practitioners of medicine.” Rev.

I believe it to be one of the best remedies ever discovered for these mala dies.” i . ■ i : Rev. N. M. Jones, Rector of Church of St. Bartholo mew, (Plot. Epis.,) Philada., writes: — “In all cases resembling Consumption, I recommend your EXPECTORANT, having in so many, cases wit nessed its beneficial effects.” Rev. J. J. Walsh, Missionary of the Presbyterian Board at Fultegiirh, Northern India, writes:— “ Your EXPECTORANT was the means, under Provi dence, of curing a case of incipient consdmetion, which had been pronounced incurable by competent medical men.” Rev. Jonathan Going, D. D., while President of Granville College, Ohio, wrote : “ While laboring under a severe Cold, Congb, and Hoarseness, my difficulty of breathing became so great that I felt in imminent danger of suffocation, but was perfectly cured on using Dr. D. Jayne’s EXPECTO RANT.” • Miss Mary Bali, of the Protestant Episcopal Mission, Cape Palmas, West Afriea, says:— . ; “In our mission families your medicines are a general specific, and among the sick poor they enabled me to do muqh good.

Mr. Green, two of our missionaries,” ! , evTcTIl Fisher, ffirmeHypastor’-of-the DAil Prai rie Wis. Baptist Chnreh, writes:— ; « A little daughter ,of mine, aged seven years,, had been afflicted for some time with Asthma and Palpita tion of the heart, and having tried various remedies without relief. I was persuaded to get your EXPEC TORANT and SANATIVE PILLS, and after using them she was restoied to a good degree of health.” KEY. SAMUEL S. DAY, Missionary of the Baptist Board; at Nellore, India, Wi lies : “By the nse of your Expectorant nay Cough and Sore Throat are now well. I find, occasionally, an un pleasant sensation in my throat, as if mucus had lodged .here, hut your Expectorant usually relieves it by two or three applications.” KEY. J- R. COFFMANjof Winfield; Tuscarawas co., Ohio, writes: — . ■ “ One bottle of Jayne’s Expectorant, cured my daughter of Long Fever, after having been beyond the hope of recovery.
