We dwell this side of Jordan's stream, Yet oft there Domes a shining beam A.oross from yonder shore ; Whilst visions of a holy throng, And sound , of harp and seraph song, Seem gently wafted o'er. The Other Side I"ah, there's the place Whore saints in joy past times retrace, And think of trials gone, Tho veil withdrawn, they olearlysee That all on earth had need to be, To bring them safely home. The; •Other Side t no skis there , To stain the robes that *blest ones wear, Made white in Jesus' Blood, No cry of grief—no voice of woe / To mar the , peace their spirits know— Their constant peace with a-od. The .00'01-Bide I its shore, so bright Is radiant with the golden light, Of Zion's pity fair ; And many'dear ones gone before Already'tread the happy shore; I seem to see them there: The Other Side ,1 oh, charming sight— Upon its banks, arrayed in white, For me a loved one Waits. Over the stream he calls to me—' 41 Fear,not, I am thy guide to be Up to the pearly gates." The Other Side / his well known voice, And dear bright fice, will me rejoice; • We'll meet in fond embrace. He'll.lead me on until *a stand, .gagh with a palm branch in our. hand, Before the Saviour's face.

OUR FOREIGN CORRESPONRENT. Truth is never like many other things, 'an tiquated or out of fashion. Therefore itnaii not be deemed inappropriate for the writer to endeavor to impress on'your readers, al truth which lias beeh recentlrforced lupine on his awn, mind by the, doings of death, "This I spy, brethren,, the time is' short." This is the truth referred to---and it is one whose importance is lost sight of to a great extent, because of our familiarity with, it. "Time is short,! " it remaineth that we redeem it—, make the most of it—prepare for the close of 0 7 —sit loose to all'sublunary things—and use ii the good'and perfect gifts of our Heaven ly Father, in such a way that they shall, do for us (of course through grace) what the locks do for barges on some canals—raise us to a higher level in spiritual things. In view of the shortness of time whose sues are eternal, Rntherford , has . said, in his own peculiarly happy style, "Build . your. nest upon no tree here ; for God hath sold the forest to - Death, and every tree whereon we would rest is ready tube cut down, to the end we may flee and mount up, and build up- Mt the ROOk,,and. dwell in the -holes of the Rock." " Tima is short." Reader, is,your soul saved? If it be, happy are you; you are only a few steps at most, from the para..' dise of God; but if it be not, miserable are you ; you are exposed to the wrath and curse of a justly offended God; and you may have it poured out on you at any moment. All our feelings of religion and humanity have been shocked by recent, tidings of the horrible execution of Taeping prisoners by I the Imperialists in China, and, of the scarcely less inhuman conduct of the King of Daho mey in, capturing thousands of his fellow-be ings to be sold as slaves, or sacrificed, as' an expression of his royal piety. An English man gives a pen-and-ink sketch' of the for mer bloody scene. It is to be hoped, for the sake of our common humanity; that in his excitement he has overdrawn' the picture.' Let me quote a sentence or two:—Cs I went," he writes, " with the crowds to see theexectt tion of the Taeping prisoners that had r heen given up for execution into the hands of.the Mandarins by the English and FrenCle au thorities. How am I to describe the 'dread'- ful scene, or will it ever leave . my memolt Among those , sketches were young and old of both sexes,.from the infant newly born,to the man of eighty,; from the enalente woman to the maiden of from ten to eighteen. The latter were, pushed out by the guards among the crowd of ruffians, were taken into sheds and by-places and debauched, and then dragged back by the hair Of the head to the Chinese ,guards, to await theirlurn for exe cution. Some of them were ripped up, and had their breasts out off and their heart torn out by the exectutioners-3their :Victims look ing them, in the face all the while. ,:infants were torn from their mothers' hearts and dis embowelled. Young, strong men were disem, bowelled and mutilated, and the parts cut ofr thrust into their-mouth, or • flung among the admiring and laughing crowd of Chinamen." Anything so positively revolting as this should attract to the perpertrators' of it the attention of`the whole world ; and if civilized ' Governmenis can intefere in any way, or to : any eittent, to prevent a repetition of such disgusting and diabolical barbarity, 'they are solemnly bound to do what in them lick with-' out delay. It is right to state r ,thak ~when reference was Made in, the HOUK drfPl / 1 1- MOM the other night, to the communication Ihave quoted from, Mr. LaYard denied the aoouracy of It appears that the English and French have suffered some losses---not very serious—at the hands of the Chinese rebels who-are far from. being disposed•to submit. Russia is in-a state of :great disquiet at the present time. The revolutionary incendia tism which some time sinee caused such alarm in Government , circles;"_still' continues in different parts. An attempt, it is said was made on the life of the Emperor, as he was walking in the' gardens of likpalace in St. vetersburg.' It is' added that the Gov ernment is striving most strenuously to pre vent; thenews concerning: the -attempted as sassination froni spreading. The Missionary intelligence from different parts• of India is very cheering indeed, espe dially-as it speaks of an increase of native agency--pan ageney which must yet take the lead in the diffusion of Christianity. It is the writer's humble opinion, and he subiiiiti it with respect to the consideration of all your readers, that .asthe Lord raised up .in the Romish Church the Men wile were, to, re formsbuses and restore a Scriptural creed and form of wershiP,' so, He will raise up arnong the heathen in different lands the menlwho will be the destroyers of idolatry and the liberators of their countrymen from the Spiritual bondage of .centuries: There fore it is; the" duty of all Christian Churehesi supporting missions, te.givethe native agen cy increasing,prominence in their efforts and prayers. 'lt is to behoped, and greatly de sired that the,pelicy of the present Govern ment of India Will be of neither the standstill nor retrograde type, in relation to. Christian ity, ,but actually favorable ,to the, claims-of our holy religion. . The'Kingdom of Italy has been recognized by other two of the European nations---Ras sia and' Prussia, and it is said Spain is just on the eve' of following in their wake. After this, if Popish Spain take`the important step hinted at, we need not. be• surprised at any thing. ,It will be another case of fact stranger than fiction.", , This 'eventuality is highly significant to the•ex-King of Naples, ho will , shortly be- Ander the ,neeessity of abandoning the brigandage speculation, and doing what an Ulsterman who, among his neighbors had the name of knowing very little, said his nephew must do, if the bounty were' taken4rom the - Presbyterian ministers, tuna his hand to something else." . The canonization'of the Japanese martyrs is now- " accomplished -fact "—rather a novelty, ; in, waytoo, for the world has not been, privileged to, witness such, a displayfor many years. Nowhere in all the legendary history of the Papacy are there to be feund records of a_ greater farce than 'this. The whole thing was a gigantic sham from first to last—a trick' so transparent• that every per son save theperformers, saw through. The world isa little too knOwing-now-a-days to be gulled by ecclesiastical legerdemain, even though practisedin.themegnificent cathedral of St. Peters. Esliall not take up space with details of this solemn mockery which Rornehis °flimsily designated a canonization, but lutiefirrefettty some. of the lessons it un doubtedly teaches. First, the spirit of Pope ry is .unchanged, Popery is as essentially the uncompromising fee of freedona , in the ,nineteenth century -as it was in.the darkest day of the ,dark ages.. It abuses most unmer cifully And. intmea-snredly—in a style the 'celebrities of Billingsgate could hardly hope to equal, certainly not to excel--thoseprinces and people Who dare to think and act as men; in relation to the Tope's temporal authority. -It has the will to burn' atthe stake, to .be head, •to imprison, to torture—ins word to employ anyur all of the approved -and conse crated, engines of Persecution against- ---ttkose who refuseto deelare " unfeigned assent and consent, to all the' dogmas and doings of the worst of all despotims. Secondly, Popery is conscious that its power is declining. It is' worthy 'of remark and remembrance that notwithstanding :the violent tirade' of a-bilee indulgedin at Rome by the asiembled rep resentatives of the Holy Catholic (?) , Church --from: the head to the ~caudal extremity, it ma.y be supposed—abuse in .which ;the bland and wiley Wiseman-had the bad pre-eminence —not single excommunication was launch ed. Consistency demanded that sevefal. 'eon toitne.cions sone of the church 'should he cut off, if mit'stoned Withont the camp: Expe diency forbade 'such a course; and expedien cy carried the day. Thirdly, = Popish nations are,,begininig ,to . exhibit a contniendable and manly independence. Bat yesterday,_and such a formidable array of Bishop's in the city of the pontiff would hive Made every Popish ceinatryfroin Italy to Ireland tremble; nit* none is so poor as to delifteni reverence. Of courge;,it is not Meant, - that' the whole -mass of the people is leavenediith the spirit of -independence, but:thatthe leaders of pub lic opinion , having found, bulls from the vat lean to he the ,most harmless of crea , ttires, Are ' thinking and ,acting for themselves, not fearing pains and penalties. ..1 1 muthly, Pope, Cardituds:, Ilisholis, et (mule hoc genus, are thelemporcd authority to, be_a sinking cause.' They cannotlebp it afloat, however well they may be disposed te de so t They met to elevate it to . the -position of a dogma, and separatedwithout putting whand to It is, still in statuovuo- 7 -a,,ereaore of circumstances, that may be . . swept. ft:'9ln,off the S p ace of , :the earth in a single hour with - th e Isom of 'Napoleonic power ; and if it - Were gene, the first notes of that hallelujah which shall be chanted' at the final 'oVerthrow •of the anti-Christian system, might very ap -propriately be sung. As a-political artifice --a kind of,dernier reaor---the canonization .of the Jong,forgotten Japanese martyrs has been a, dead.failure. Beyond causing in the ,hearts ilf seme i. Romanists, whose ignorance is equal to their devotion, a few spasmodic throhs of loyalty,. it, has done 'less forthe cause of Rome than did, the proelamation of, the Immaafilate - Conception, as an article of faith. While we hateTopery most cordially we shciuld love its votaries. They are our .brethren, and we should pray for them.' While -vie would heartily give -thanks .for the de etruetion of the Great Apostany, we would greatly rejoice in , the salvaged of ,the poor, deluded papists throughout the world. By the, law of Association, I am led to speak of 'a monster Remish meeting to'be held in Dublin, and on the 'Lord's day. If everything be carried out according to the; revealed expectation of those most interested, it _will; Oertsauly ,exceed any assembly, in the eapitA .10AgeAhe days of ,Daniel O'Conwali: and Iteßeal. It is, for the purpose ,of the foundation stone ora new Irish Catholic' S. 11. C. PHIL&DELPIHA l'Et University. 'Several of the foreign - bishbps, on their way 'from Rome, are to be present at the ceremony, after which there is to be a sumptnpus banquet. All this oh' the Lord's day! And in Dublin ! In no, popish coun try in the world would such a meeting, avow edly for, a political purpose--and that against the Government" ef the conntry, be toler ated. A writer in the _Nation—a Dublin newspaper—says, "The; great Mass of those who Will 'assemble on that - occasion, will consist of men who detect the denomination of England in Irish affairs; and who see,in the• Catholic University an institution which they.are hound to love, not only-because it enjoys the favor of the Catholic Church, but also because it is honored by the hatred of the British, aovernment." One 'o€ ,the pro moters ,of the meeting has the cool audacity to thank Lord 'Palmerston for the new T_Tni versity, for, says the gentleman referred to, "thei'Premier's refusal of ; charter to our piesent College has:. roused. the . Catholic feeling of the nation so that they,would per severe,in obtaining for themselves and their children free ; and .unfettered education." It is rather ,strange that while Pop r ery, is mani 7 festing unmiStakeible signs, of heart disease —in Italy—it'should exhibit tokens of vigo rous vitality in its Irish''extremity. Our Green Isle is the most PopiSh country on the face of 'the 'earth and Ultramontanes say and do here what they might dream of, but certainly, 'never .Speak Of; in Fiance; Austria; or Paul Cullen. and his Frenchmen, both clerinal,,and and ; are doing ,all in their, power; Ito overturn, the. system, of, united edu cation and secure for thetnselves a separate grant from the 'National Treasury. 'May north is bad `enough, but this would be worse if they could obtain it. rtJis wonder 7 fill how extremes meet sometimes. The High 'Church partyis also' calling for a sep arate grant,. and this conduct is opportunely playing into the hands of% the Cullimet school. The Papists, are .bn.sy. erecting .new chapels, on a magnificent scale, in, Derry and Armagb,,and in enlarging and repairing old ones in nianylilaces. They, are also , multi plying nunneries, and leaving no stone un turned to recover' . Ireland for the Irish. J would not be understood as intimating . that the various Prbteitant Missions to.Romin ists have .not succ;eeded.' Thank God, they have done rmnch'•,.. ;and never: were 'their hopes brighter than at, present. It is !not unreasonable to suppose that the mutiplied Protestant agencies now at. work, have pro voked the R,omanists to put forth 0 1; their, efforts in a counier-wOrk. 0 for the dawn of that day--4right will its sun be—when the pure and undefiled religion of Jesus shall bless and beautify, the' Etherald Isle which once - wore the name,—" Island of Saints." .The. season -hitherto has not been like summer. High• winds and heavy rainsomd low tem,peratnre have retarded vegetation vefy much. The crops„ in most parts look to be very deficient, an, of course, the food prospects are rot:good: " - This, together with the preVailip.g7inercantile 4preSsiorii- seems to foretell . " hard. tfoies," for the next year. atliat when the judgments of God are a broad „in the earth ,we may learn wisdom ! This is the third ,severe summer in sue,- cession,. which must necessarily affect the agricultural interest with which the pros perity of a' nation's commerce is so closely A cloud has' been cast over 'the hearti of the friends of the North in •this coun try by . the date intelligence from Amer:. lea. n The darkest ,hour in all the .night is the hour before dawn." So may it be in the case of, the Federals whose cause, is that of liberty r -humanity, and ri,ghtousness,! Our Lord Jesus is the Governor among the nations. Therefore the cause that is His shall prosper. * Reader, amid the present shaking of the nations, whenin many places, mem' -hearts are faiing them:Air fear, how is it with) your soul ?' I would ixecall my opening, remark, ".;time is short,'”, and therefore ~A, ask yono settle this question without delay„, whateyer be your age, or the pressure of your buress. Remember the Saviour's question in "profit `andjoss, " What is a man profited, if he shall gain the *hole' world, and lose his own emit'? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? B.
