IDOLATRY IN CHINA. Ps. 135, 15-18—" The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths but they speak not, eyes have they but they see not, they have ears but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth's. They thatmade them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth to them." In China, says a Chinese proverb, the gods are as many as the sands of the bank of the Iloang-Ho. There is no region, no business, no trade, blit it has its special deity. Every field, every road, every apart ment, every corner, every window, every seat belonging to the Chinese has its partic ular idol and has its image pasted on it. The first thing one sees on entering even the poorest Chinese house, is one or more small ill-shaped images covered with gilt paper, with burning lamps and incense before them. Now and then a fire-cracker and some gilt paper is set off before them, all in a merely mechanical unthinking way. A portrait of Napoleon was once found in the sanctuary of a Chinese house. Probably the .breadth of the head was the attraction. FETISH WORSHIP AMONG THE NEGROES. 1 COA. 12: 2—" Ye know that ye were Gentiles carried away unto these dumb idols even as ye were led." The religion of the negroes consists of fetish worship. Their sods are fetishes, and everything can, under circumstances, become a fetish. They choose it speedily and aban don it again ; they ask Of it everything, they trust in it and fear it, and finally throw it away if it does not bring the expected help. Thus, a missionary once observed a company of pople collected together to make offer ings to a cannon ball and the stoppers of three bottles, commending themselves and their children to the favor of the evil spirit whose representative they beheld in the ob jects. Any piece of wood, a bone, a pot, an egg-shell, a feather may serve as a fetish, yea, a man's own shadow can represent his fetish. Very often the priest allow them selves to serve as deities. The powerful fetish of an entire country or village is wor shipped in a serpent or tiger, or in a great tree or rock found in some part of the coun try or village. For example, the fetish of Dahomey is a tiger, that . of Whydah, a ser pent. In all these fetishes the Africans wor ship only evil serpents ; hence their worship is in the main only the worship and service of the devil. THE PROTECTING DIVINITY OF A NEGRO CITY. Dr. Perkins once in seeking a rtm.-a.way scholar penetrated the dense and lofty wood that divides the coast of West-Africa from the interior. He reached the town of Witt ; jo-kai which was surrounded with palisades eight feet in height, and numbered about one hundred houses. As hemas a perfect stran ger, he sat down before the gate, waiting for some one to lead him to the chief, whose business it was to entertain strangers. Be fore the gate stood the Gegree house, and beneath that, the Gegree of the town. This was a lump of clay of the size of a man's head, raised above the ground on a staff. A native had ,employed all his skill in sticking bits of broken crockery in the place of eyes, nose and mouth, to make the resemblance to a human face as perfect as possible. The whole was smeared with soot and oil, and covered with an old palm leaf hat. Before this protecting deity stood a flat, round stone, to receive the offerings of rice, oil and fruit. TRADITION OF THE RIILLOM NEGROES. EZEIS. 10, 6—" And hen I passed by thee and saw thee polluted in t"Mip own blood, I said unto thee when thou west in thiPood, Live yea, I said unto thee when thou wart thy blood, Live." The missionary Nylander noticed that it was customary among the Bullom •negroes to lay gold,'rama' horns and other gifts before them when they prayed. When he asked the king for the reason, of this custom, he answered him by telling the following tradi tion, which had been handed down from, the most ancient time among the Ballowpeople: " Once God laid a Iran upon the street; he was full of wounditAnd bruises. The Bullom had washed himself and was passing that way. ,_He saw the tfian lying in the street and said: 0 ! I have washed myself, I can not lift this man up and make myself dirty again.' He went on his way. The Mandigo man (Mohammedan) came and beheld the poor man lying in the street He said ; '0 ! I have washed my hands and feet, I cannot touch this man and dirty myself again.' The white man came ; he saw the man lying in the street and said: Ah, poor man, I will help you;' and took a hold of him and brought him into his house. That is the reason, said the king, why God gave the white man his book and many other things, and because the Bullom man went by and left him, he took the book from the Bullom people and he has departed from us. If we, therefore, place gold, horns, and other gifts before us when we pray we ask by that that Goal would return with His book, to our land." A ROSE-LEAF. I SUPPOSE all our little readers think they not only have eyes, but know how; to use them. Are they sure of the fact ? I know .I did not in the least understand how to use mine once ; but I had a good friend who taught me a little about it. Now between ' eyes and no eyes' there is a vast deal of difference—all the dif ference that there is between riches and poverty. Let us try what we can see in a rose-leaf, for instance. I have picked one for you. Perhaps you will tell me, some of you, that I have picked seven. No, you are mistaken ; it is only one ; as much one as a willow-leaf. This shape is called pinnate. All is, one leaf, that has only one common footitalk ' • and these seven leaflets with their footstalk will die and drop together when the winter comes. Well there is the rose-leaf ; what is there to see or say about it ? You have all seen a hundred thousand of them; did you ever think about one? Look at it, in the first place, and notice its exquisite beauty,—even now, though it is October, and the early freshness and bright ness with which it began the summer, do not belong to it now. Its work is nearly done. Can anything be more elegant in form ? See how small the first pair of leafets are.; then with what beautiful gradations the size of suc ceeding ones is.enlarged, till the broad, al most round, terminal leaflet fills up the bar:- mony of outline. And notice the delicate jagging or toothing of the edges. Then turn the leaf over and see the ribbing and veining of the stronger part. Between those ribs and veins stretches an upper and an under surface of tissue, so fairy thin that there is room between for a layer of pulp ; room even for a tiny caterpillar to travel and eat the pulp, leaving the two surfaces untouched and unharmed. If you observe, a part of one of these leaflets seems to have been served so ; fcr the green pulp is completely gone, and the surface tissues look white as white gauze, with the veins running brown over them. Novif you have got a microscope, even a common little microscope such as can be bad for eight or ten dollars, put the leaf under that, with one or two of the lower powers. Now see what a wonderful thing a - rose-leaf is ! Look at those bright filaments that catch the light like threads of silver ;"they are fine hairs, too fine for your naked eye to take much note of; but they have all something to do with the work of the leaf. And see how many of them there are ! starting from those toothed edges of the leaf and setting along the mid-rib and veins. Then look at the up per green surface. Do you see its minute netted or cellular appearance ? I suppose that has to do with its work too. Nothing is for nothing in the works of God. ;11 the works of men, you know, a good many things are for worse than nothing. • But what is the work of a rose-leaf ? Did you think it had none ? Ah, I wish you and I might do our work in the World half so well. What does it do, however, beside set off the roses ? Yes, it does that. kbeautiful Dam ask or Harrison rose would not be the same thing without the relief and adornment of its elegant green dress. But 'that`, is not all, though to give pleasure, I grant you, is great use. Do you know that without its humble green attendants, that exquisite blush or. Damask beauty could never have hadits ex-. istence ? Most true. Within those two thin surfaces of the green leaf, the sap which the roots draw from the earth is spread out very thin to let the light and air act upowit. How they do this I will not stop to tell now ; but they do it, and so the thin sap is, changed and fitted to go down and supply the stem with matter for its growth and for carrying on all the work of the plant,--flowers and all. But this is not the whole yet. What would you say, if I told you that without the green leaves of roses and all other plants, your exist ence and mine - would be as impossible as the blooming of a Noisette or a White Cluster ? That is the trtith. It would be as right to say that the leaf acts upon the air, as the air upon the leaf. In the atmosphere there is something which iheleaves need, and which if they did not take from it, the air would be very soon unfit for our breathing ; for that which they need is death to us. If the green leaves in the world were disobedient creatures and ilidnot do their work, it would be but a very little time indeed before all the animals and men in the earth would be beyond doing'theirs, for they would have breathed their last breath. So thii little rose-leaf hits been helping to keep you and tae alive. It is true it is but one reef, and there are a great multitude of others in the world ; but there is not one too many and each one has its place audits work. This rose-leaf had only a rose-leafs part to do, ware it shook in the bzeeze at our cot tage window; not a great part; but it has done it. Shall as much be said of you one day ?—Little American. iovelTautono. ADDRESS OF THE WORKINGMEN OF LANCASHIRE. "TO ABRAHAM LINCOLN, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. As citizens of Manchester, assembled at the Freetrade Hall, we beg to express our fraternal sentiments toward you and your country. We rejoice in your greatness, as an outgrowth of England, whose blood and language you share, whose orderly and legal freedom you have .applied to new circum stances, over a region immeasurably greater than our own. We honor your free states, as a singularly hippy abode for the working millions, where industry is honored. One thing alone has, in the past, lessened our sympathy with your country and our confi dence in mean the ascendency of po liticians who not merely maintained negro slavery, but desired to extend and root it more firmly. Since w e have discerned, how ever, that the victory of the free North in the war which has so sorely distressed us as well as afflicted you, will strike off the fetters of the slave, you have attracted our warm and earnest sympathy. We joyfully honor you, as the President, and the Congress with you, for many decisive steps toward practi cally exemplifying your belief in the words of your great founders All men are cre ated free and equal.' You have procured the liberation of the slaves in the district around Washington, and thereby made the centre of your federation visibly free. You have enforced .the laws against the slave trade, and kept up your fleet against it, even while every ship was wanted for service in your terrible war. You have nobly decided to receive embassadors from the negro re-' publics of Hayti and Liberia, thus for ever , Auttrirau Vuolittettint atm k 9 titttet 6raitgaiot. renouncing that unworthy prejudice which refuses the rights of humanity to men and women on account of their color. In order more effectually to stop the slave-trade, you have made with ,our Queen a treaty, which your Senate has ratified, for the right of mu tual search. Your Congress has decreed freedom as the law for ever' in the vast un occupied or half-settled territories which are directly subject to its legislative power. It has offered pecuniary aid to all states which will enact emancipation locally, and has for bidden your generals to restore fugitive slaves who seek their protection. You have entreated the slave-masters to accept these moderate offers ; and after long and patient waiting you, as commander-in-chief of the army, have appointed to-morrow, the Ist of January, 1863, as the day of unconditional freedom for the slaves of the rebel" states. Heartily do we congratulate you and, your country on this humane and righteon,s course. We assume that you cannot now stop short of a complete uprooting of slavery. It would not become us to dictate any details, but there are broad principles of humanity which must guide you. If complete emancipation in some states be deferred, though only to a predetermined day, still in the interval, hu man beings should not be counted chattels. Women must have rights of chastity and of maternity, men the rights of hatbands mas ters the liberty of manumission. justice demands for the black, no less than for the white, the protection of law—that his voice be heard in your courts. Nor must any such abomination be tolerated as slave-breeding states and a slave-market—if you are to earn the high reward of all_ your sacrifices, in the approval of the universal brotherhood and of the Divine Father. It is for your free country to decide whether anything but immediate and total emancipation can secure the most indispensable rights of humanity against the inveterate wickedness of local laws and local executives. We implore you, for your own honor an welfare, not to faint in your providential mission. While your enthusiasm is aflame, and the tide of events runs high, let the work be finished effectual ly. Leave no root_of bitterness to spring up and work fresh misery to your children. It is a mighty task, indeed, to reorganize - the in dustry not only of 4,000,000 of the colored race, but of 5,000,000 of whites. Neverthe less, the vast progress youliave made in the short space of twenty months, fills us with hope that every stain on your freedom- will steirtly be removed, and that the erasure of that foul blot upon civilization and Christianity— chattel slavery—during your Presidency will cause the name of Abraham Lincoln to be honored and revered by posterity. We are certain that such a glorious consummation will cement Great Britain to the United States in close and enduring regards. Our interests, moreover, are identified - with yours. We are truly one people, though locally se parate. And if you have any ill-wishers here, be assured they are chiefly those who oppose liberty at home,. and that they will be powerless to stir up quarrels between, us, from the very day in which your country be comes, undeniably and without exception, the home of the free. Accept our high ad miration of your firmness in upholding the proclamatiort of freedom.", INTERESTING HISTORICAL PARALLEL. THE base conduct ' of Fitz-John Por ter, formerly Major General, as recently brought to light by court-martial, and which has resulted in his summary and disgraceful dismissal from the service is known to our readers. He was sent by Gen. Pope to fall on the flank, and, if possible, the rear of the enemy during the engagement of August 29th, near Centreville ; but remained inac tive with his whole force, during the entire day almost in sight of the conflict. Judge. Holt in his eloquent summary of the evi dence introduces the following -interesting historidal parallel, showing what had been accomplished in similar circumstances by faithful energetic officers. " The battle of Ilohenlinden furnishes an illustration, and in one resliect bears a stri king analogy, while in another offering a re markable contrast to the events of the 29th of August. A few extracts from Thiers' history of the, Consulate and the Empire, vol. 1, pp. 217, 18, 19, Lippincott & Co.'s edition of 1861, will suffice to show the ap positeness of the reference. " Moreau, with 60,000 French troops, was met by an Austrian army, 70,000 strong. Richepause and Decaeu's divisions,' says the 'historian, were sent by Moreau an or der, somewhat vaguely expressed, but posi tive, to throw themselves from the right hand to he left hand road, to, get into the latter, into the environs of Maltenbout, and 'there surprise the Austrian army, entangled in the forests. " He neither indicated the route to be pursued nor provided against accidents which might occur. He left, everything that was to be done to the intelligence of Riche pause.' 6 At length, as the battle progress ed, a wavering was observed in the Austrian .troops of the centre, which proved• to be Richepause falling on their rear.' 'He had started without waiting for Decaeu, and da ringly penetrated into that tract of thickets and ravines, which separated the , two roads, and marching while the fight was` going on. at Hohenlinden, and making incredible efforts to drag with him, over that inundated ground six pieces of small calibre.' Richepause reckoning upon Decaeu to extricate Drouet's brigade, had- marched without losing a mo ment for Maltenbout, for his military instinct told him that was the decisive point. Though he had left but two demi-brigades of infantry, the Eighth, and Forty-eighth, a single regiment of cavalry, the Firs Masseurs and six pieces of cannon, with about 6,000 men, he had con tinued his march, dragging his artillery by hand, almost always through the quagmire.' 'He then fell to the left, and took the bold resolution of falling, on the Austrian rear, in the defile of the forest.' Marching, sword in hand, amidst his grenadiers, he penetra ted into the forest, sustained, without flinch ing, a violent discharge of grapeshot, then fell in with two Hungarian battalions, which hastened to bar up his passage. Richepause would have inspirited his brave soldiers with words and gestures, but they had . no need of them, ' Those fellows are our • prisoners,' cried they ; 'let us charge.' They charged accordingly, and completely routed the Hun garian battallions. Presently they came to masses of baggage, artillery, infantry, ac cumulated pell-mell at this spot. Richepause struck irrepressible terror into this multitude, and threw it into frightful 'disorder. At the same moment he heard confused shouts at the other extremity of the defile. It was Ney, who, advancing from Hohenlinden, had penetrated by the head of the defile, and pushed before him, the , M.ustrian column, which Richepause was driving the other way, by attacking it in the rear.' A complete rout of the Austrian army ensued. Its loss was some 20,000 men, with nearly all its artillery and baggage, and ' what,' as the historian observes, ' was of still greater importance, its moral courage.' This battle, continues il. Thiers' is the most brilliant that Moreau ever fought, and certainly one of the greatest in the present century, which has beheld such extraordinary confli o:s , , " What were the difficulties that appalled the accused on the 29th, as compared with those surmounted by Richepause with but six thousand men ? This example is an impres sive proof of what a general can and will achieve, when his heart is in' his - work, and when he 'finds himself in. the presence of the enemies of his country. General McDowell, as a soldier and commander, deposed that it was the duty of the accused to have attacked the enemy on the 29th, and it would seem this duty was so manifest; and so clearly the result of his position, that !no order to that effect could have added much, if anything to its force and urgency. What General Mc- Dowell prescribed for his associate in arms, he unhesitatingly accepted for himself. _ He had no summons to arouse him, and no guide to conduct:him, but the sound of the cannon, following which he, with hill whole command, found his way to the battle-s:eld, where his instincts as a soldier told 'him both his duty and his honor required him to be. And it is no doubt to his timely !arrival and active participation in the contra that we are largely indebted for Gen . . Roberts' declara tion,i that at the close of t e day the advan tages were decidedly on t,e side of the Fed eral troops. Had the- accused, obeying the same impulse that carried General McDow ell hp 'the Sudley Sprinks road, made a movement upon the enely with the vigor and heroism which the occasion demanded, it, is altogether probable that the glory of Richepause would have been his, and the fate of the. Austrians tha4of the rebel army. After carefully considerik all ;the impedi ments, which have beeniso elaborately ar rayed as in the way of - he accused on. the night of the 28th, and roughout the day i l of the 29th, We cannot b t realize that they shrink away and are scaely to be named beside those obstacles of fight and tempest, and snow; and morass, a d Alpine precipi ces, and frowning batteri s, which the war- Hors of other times and lands have unhesita 'tingly confronted and brothly overcome." PRINC THE Prince of Wales ha t - not yet a right to sit in the House of Lords. No doubt, he will receive the - usual , ofsummons Duke of Cornwall, and tkke his seat in Feb ruary. When the last Prince of Wales was twenty-one, he received a Parlianientary grant of $500,000 as an *fit, and half that amount . as annual income. This was half what h is father (GeOrge HI.) had re ceived on coming of age. I `lle claimed from his father the accumulad income of the Duchy of Cornwall, whichNpses to the Prince of Wales on his birth, anhi was then worth $lOO,OOO a year ; but hii father, who had received the money; refus44d to pay up, pko testing that it was little enbugh to pay him for the expense of boarding, lodging, and educating' his hopeful hell. from infancy to manhoood. The present Prince haalleen better treated. His revenue has beeni4arefully invested. Over $1,000,000 of th 4 accumulation was paid for his lately p'ar'e 'ledestate in 'Nor folk, the rents of which will be $35,000 a year. It is a place adapted for a rich noble man who has . a stately mansion elsewhere, and desires good fishing and' good shooting. The balance at his bank es, a - fter this pay ment leaves $2;500,000 to the Prince, and his Duchy of Cornwall liiings in a net in come of $125,000 a yea Besides this, Par liament will vote him abiut ssoo,ooo>a year during his mother's life, and vote $250,000 a year as pin-money to his bride.

La aspire may starve, but the, royal family flour sh upon the fat of the earth. They `toil not, neither do they spin, yet were they born with a golden spoon in their mouths. JEWS AND YIIOtESTANTS. An interesting fact s occurred, which shows the tendency oft Jews more cordi ally to unite in practicallobjects with Chris tians of 'Protestant chuches. The United Israelitish Alliance, haS for its object, the union, of the Jews in practical effort through out all parts of ,Europe. This Alliance re cently returned thanks for the efforts, made in England on behalf of.persecuted Jews in Algeria. It was suggested, in replying 'to this vote of thanks, that there were persTent ed Protestants to whom Jewish aid might be of benefit. This was Chrdially agreed to, and now the whole Jewish influence in Eu rope is to be exerted to obtain the release of the Spanish prisoners. Such fellow-feeling and unity of action inuA have good results. The Jews appreciate the care 'for their in terests in Protestant as 'ContAsted with Ro mist countries ;,`their.piejudices are soften ed ; and they may tho be led the more quickly to - see the sUbstahtial unity between the Old and New Testaments, and the fulfil ment Of the promises in Christ.—ffews of the Churches. A LAIIW AIIIERIViN DIAMOND.. The art of cutting and,polishing diamonds (says the Boston Transcript), though of re mote antiquity in Asia, - has only recently been introduced into this country. It is now practiced,here by one house, and only one, we believe, that namely of Messrs. Crosby, llunnewell and Morse, ,of Boston, and we need no longer send as heretofore to Ams terdam or London to have diamonds repaired or re-cut. These dealers have now on exhi bition at, their store a native diamond which they have, cut in the highest style of the art. It is the largest diamond ever found in the United 'States : perhapst the largest now in the country. The weight of the gem before cutting was nearly 24 carats ; after cutting it was about one-halfits 'original weight.' It was found near New London, in Southern Virginia, in the vicinity of a quarry of elas tic jointed sandstone. N,o exact value has been put upon the gem, but it is estimated as being worth from $lO,OOO to $15,000. In reviewing our past lives, we shall of ten find that the timiug of our rebellions has exceedingly aggravated the guilt of them. We have perhaps distrusted the Lord, after having just before experOced his merciful interposition in, our favour.
