Lettie Page Is an only daughter, and, ns is often the case, is very much petted, not only hy her parents, but also by her brothers Prank and Howard, who seem to think that a little girl is of more importance than a boy, especi ally when there are two boys and only one girl, and she the youngest. At all events they are ever ready to gratify her wishes, even though it might interfere with their own. Mrs. Page is an excellent mother, and wishes above all things to train up her children in such a manner that they may always be generous, kind and good, for there is nothing she .more dislikes to see than a selfish, vain person. She means to take the very best care of her little daughter, and whenever the seasons change, Lettie is among the first to appear’in some nice new clothes, which are always suitable and in good taste, and often elicit comments of praise. “0, how pretty!” said little Mary Greene. “ I wish I had a dress and hat like yours.” Now, Mary Greene had several little brothers and sisters and her father is not a rich man. He; has, however, a very pleasant home, and his children are always comfortably dressed, though they never have as expensive clothing as Lettie Page wears. Lettie overheard Mrs. Smith say to her mother one day, “ What a. beautiful suit you have for Lettie. Ido love to see, a little girl dressed nicely, and you having only one ban afford to dress her. I have so many that I cannot keep them all in the present, style. Hattie does not like it a bit because I some times make over Lucy’s clothes for her. After all, they make over nicely, and answer just as well for her. Yet of course there is no neces sity for you to economize, in that way with Lettie.” ' All these things were making Lettie a verv proud little girl. She really seemed to think she was as much better than other little girls as her clothes were nicer than theirs. Even her mother began to notice this, but did not know just how to correct it. One day not long since her mother brought home for her a nice new cloak and a set of furs. Lettie was de lighted, and kept thinking how nice it would be to. wear them to, church on the next. Sab bath. How fine she would loojk with hei 1 bright plaid silk, light chinchilla beaver cloak, beauti ful white furs with black spots upon them, and her hat, trimmed with bright velvet and such a pretty plume. What would Mary Greene and Hattie Smith say ? At last Sabbath morning came, and Lettie was in great haste to prepare for church. The • day was very pleasant, the sun was shining bright and warm. It seemed as if summer had come back again just to say good-bye. When Lettie saw her mother getting her light talma and a little neck-tie from the drawer, she said ; “ Mother, am I not going to wear my eioak andfurs?” “No,” replied her mother, “you would be uncomfortable in such heavy clothing on this warm day.” “ Really, mother,” said Lettie, “ I do not think it is very warm. I felt quite tehilly as I went to the door.” “ But, my child,” replied her mother, “ these are far more suitable, and I prefer that you should wear them.” Lettie had been taught to obey her parents, and knew it would be useless to say anything farther, hut she left the room with a very un pleasant face, and her mother overheard her say to her brothers that it had been summer long enough, and she just wished it was as cold as Greenland, and finally, that she did not feel a bit well, and wished her mother would allow her to stay at home. Frank ventured to say that he was afraid Lettie wanted to show her new cloak and furs. She replied that he would like to show his coat, too, but boys! coats were all alike, any way, and it didn’t make any difference. Lettie was evidently in a pet, and, even when she was on the way to church with her mother, she did not wear the pleasant smile which every one loves to see on a little girl’s face. She was afraid all the little girls'would have new cloaks by tbe next Sabbath, and some of them might be as nice as hers. Before they arrived at church they met a little girl of about Lettie’s age, leading her little brother on the pavement. They were very neat and clean, yet their clothes were thin, and they had neither shoes nor stockings upon their feet. . . “ Good morning, children,” said Mrs. Page; and after she asked the little girl where she lived, and what her name was, she said, “ Is not this a bright, pleasant morning ?” “Yes, ma’am.” ’ “ Are you not glad ikis so nice and warm ?” “Yes, indeed,” replied the little girl.—‘‘Yes terday and day before it was so cold we could not come out doors, but this morning Ma let us come out, and it isn’t cold a bit.” “ Do you go to Sabbath School?” asked Mrs. Page. Little Ellen looked sad for a moment as she glanced at Lettie, and said, "I did go in the summer, but cannot go new.” “ Why can not you go how ?” “ Because,” said Ellen, “ Ma has not got my new clothes. I shall go in a few weeks. She says she will get them as soon as she can,” and the bright smile came back again, she was so glad to bo out in the warm, fresh air. As they went on to church Mrs. Page noticed that the sulky look was all gone from Lettie’s face, and she hoped that the, sadness which she now flaw there, was not only on account of her sympathy for Ellen, but also because she was really sorry for her own wicked words and thoughts. And thus it proved to be. In the evening, when Lettie thanked her Heavenly Father for his blessings, she felt that she had really many , blessings to be thankful for, and she was in earnest when she prayed that he would take care of poor little children. The next morninn she asked her mother if she and some of the other little girls could not give Ellen some of their clothes, so that she could go to Sabbath Sehool before “ a few weeks.” Her mother did not think best to commend her lest it should raise h<?r pride again, for she might as well be proud of her clothing as to be proud of her generosity, when it really did not cost her any sacrifice. So she told her they would call round next'day and see what could be done for Ellen. < “ And Lettie,” said Mrs. Page, “ which little girl do. you:think the Saviour smiled upon yes terday morning, my own daughter or little Ellen?” - ' The tear in Lettie’s eye showed'very plainly that she did not think He had smiled upon her. Lettie is really a kind-hearted little girl, and I now have great hope.that she will not become a selfish, heartless womam. H. PRESBYTERIANISM IN ENGLAND. The Presbyterian Church in England has not, for more than a, century and a half, been so vi gorous and influential as it is now. In 1691 it united with the Congregational Church, and Us a living visible system passed away from the stage of English history. The story of that Church; which, promised to become national at the time [when the Westminster Assembly prepared that Confession of Faith which the Presbyterianism of the world has accepted and adhered to, is a very melancholy one. No Presbyterian can read it with any satisfaction. There were great and good Presbyterians in England then—their names are notable still, and their life story interesting exceedingly—but the Presbyterian Church, from. 1664, to 1691, was pitiably weak and sadly inefficient It pre sents a strange and inexplicable contrast to the heroic history of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland during the same’ period. For more than a century no attempt was made to revive and reorganize the Presbyterian Church m Etfg land. The orthodox Presbyterians were will ing to be be called Congregationalism and to abide by the basis of union agreed .to , and em bodied in the document entitled “ The Heads of Agreement Assented to by the United Ministers formally called Presbyterian and Congregation al.” In Scotland they were busy remedying; the fearful evils which thirty years of fierce nnd fiery prosecution and thirty years of ignorant teaching by illiterate men of scandalous lives had wrought in tbe nation and in the Church, and before that work was accomplished they were striken with the palsy of Moderatism. At the union of the Presbyterian and Congregation al. Churches in 1691, there were mimisters and congregations, chiefly in the northern counties, who refused to be incorporated in the United Church. Tbe great majority of them became Socinian; certain of them, -however, maintained the show and sound* of orthodoxy, and these looked to Scotland for ministers. They were supplied in this strange fashion; A Presbytery in Scotland, when, asked by some wandering licentiate who had not succeeded in procuring a presentation or compassing a. call in the more genial North, to ordain him to the charge of some struggling flock in Cumberland, did it, and took no further interest in him or his congrega tion. The minister might teach what he chose, and the congregation might do with him as they liked. S c’i was thte miserable and mournful state of things, until, some thirty years ago, the Pres byterians in England holding the principles- of Established Church of Scotland organized them selves into Presbyteries, and. sought corporate connexion with, that Church,: and when their petition and claim were refused, constituted themselves mto a seperate and independent Church—the Presbyterian Church in England. This Church ha nade marked progress, and would, we believe, have increased more r pidly had it been less ambitious to overtake all the fields of labor larger Churches had felt it to be their duty to cultivate. Still, it has grown won deifully and i~ now more vigorou zelous efficient and ~ucce~~ful, than at any formei pe nod of its historov. Every year large and flourishing congregations, in increasing number are being added to its roll of ciiaige - The United Presbyterian Church was a* m different to the extension of Presbyterianism m England, until very recently, as the other Churches in Scotland were and are. Its min isters and congregations in England w deleft to their own devices'and resources, rcisiar omer wise now. The United Presbyterian Church is fully alive to the importance of England as a mission field—to the absolute necessity of ex tending and establishing the Presbyterian Church there, if it is to be maintained in Scotland; and tbe erection of an English Synod is an unmis takable proof that the United Presbyterian Church means to take to the south of the Tweed. This Synod met at Liverpool on the 12th of October. In the forms of .its procedure it was just like the Synod of,any other Presbyterian Church, and it was characterised by that order liness and dignity which generally distinguish Presbyterian courts. This Synod gave palpable proof of progress in England. The extension of the United Pres byterian Church Jhas, within the., last ten years, equalled that of the English Presbyterian Church. In London and Lancashire, in the northern and midland counties, a very considerable number of large and vigorous congregations have been gathered and organized. And we are not sure but that the United Presbyterian Church will outstrip the English Presbyterian in the race of Church extension, if they are to continue rivals. The English Presbyterian Church has; at this moment the greatest difficulty in supplying its extensive congregations with : suitable'men ; .the United Presbyterian Church has none. The English Prebyterian Church has only one hun dred congregations from which to raise the needed sinews of war;' the United Presbyterian Church has five hundred congregations; ... This Synpd further evinced the keen and lively interest the United Presbyterian Church takes in England, A few years ago an English ques tion was poohpoohed in its Supreme Court. The great majority of its members were, pro foundly ‘ignorant about England, and did not care to’inquire and-learn. Nowa large and in telligent measure of attention is given to all the subjects that affect the well-being of the Church in the South; and just because of. the growing conviction that England is the most important field of home mission labor, has this Synod been erected “to mature plans for Church ext nsion in England.” We wish 'the United Presbjterian Church God-speed. So that Presbvtcn n m grow m England; we' reek but little to which of the Churches the congregations belong—the United Presbyterian or the English . Presbyterian. They will be one Church union, m some form, cannot be long delayed. But let the Committees charged with Church extension be in the meantime jealously careful not to in terfere with eafch other; let it be .understood, and let the understanding be honorably acted upon, that the first in the field is to, have, undis turbed possession; and let the ministers and members of each pray for a rich blessing upon the other.— London Weekly Be view. JAPAN, The nobles as a body recognize in foreign trade no sufficient equivalent for the dangers to which their political supremacy would be ex posed. They are already wealthy beyond their utmost wishes, and they have no’desire to raise up a commercial class to vie with them in osten tation, and eventually perhaps supplant them in public estimation. Japan, they have been beard ,to say, already possesses everything which it can desire. < With every reason to be content with, their owm position, it is but natural that the ruling class should have viewed with dissatis faction the admission of foreigners whomightun settle the minds of the people, indoctrinate them with new ideas, and inspire them with a political ambition from Tvfiieh they had hitherto been free. For the Japanese, notwithstanding the' fixedness of their political institutions, are a highly intellectual, acute, and reasoning people. There is among them, Oliphant says, absolutely a rage for every description of knowledge. A Japanese is full of eager interest and curiosity, and is inspired with a passionate desire to learn.

The custom-house port qf London extends from London , bridge to the North Foreland, on :tbe Kent coast, and tho Naze, on the Essex coast, including not only the Thames, but the wide estuary below t-lie river. This mighty port has grown up gradually. There were no docks in London until this century, which ha*witnessed the expenditure of twelve millions sterling in the construction of docks on cither side of.thc Thames. Six thousand ships now enter these docks annually, and the cry is “still they cornel’’ All the docks are filled, though some do not pay well. There are shipped off now yearly from the port of London alone commodities to the value of. thirty millions, sterling, beside those from other ports of the United Kingdom, and there is imported a still larger quantity of colonial pro duce. The ship 3 which actually belong to the port of London are not less-.than 3,000 in num ber, averaging about 300 tuns each, or 900,000 tuns of commercial shipping in all—a stupendous quantity to enter and to depart from one single river. It is a quarter of the total amount for the whole kingdom. Five hundred of these are steamers, and one half of all tho mercantile steam navy of England belongs to and is registered in the port of London. No than 80,000 ships enter the port of London yearly—more than 80 per day ! Some of these ships make many voyages, but there are 30,000 arrivals with 30,000 cargoes. The vessels average 200 tuns each, giving us an aggregate of 6,000,000 tuns. The co'asting trade of London is most wonder ful. Of the 40,000 vessels just named, 18,000 bring cargoes from other British ports, and 9000 of these go back empty, mostly to coal ports. Five million tuns of ,coal are burned annually in the metropolis, and about 12,000 o rgoes of coal, are brought into the Thames aunnally—one every hoar, and a handsome sur plus over. The spread of railways from London has had very little effect in diminishing trade hy other modes of conveyance. The canal boats carry more than before railways were constructed, and the number of carriages and horses employed m Great Britain, tho use of which railways were designed to supersede, is greater than it was before these railways were made. But the grandeur of the foreign trade of London strikes the imagination still more forcibly. All the corners of the earth seem to be brought 'to a focus in the river Thames ; :T2;000. ships now enter there .yearly, bringing nearly 12,000 cargoes of all that the earth can produce of value and beauty. Every forty minutes during the year a ship passes Gravesend, bringing stores from some colonial clime, in many cases much more than London's own proportion. For instance, seven-eights of all the coffee brought to all parts of the United Kingdom; seven ninths of all the live stoek; one-half of the ’ sugar, tobacco, wool, fruit, rice, hides,and skins ; nearly one : half of the bacon, ham, barreled salt meat, butter, cheese, eggs and lard; five-sixths of all flie spices, and no less than fifth-sixtecutlis „ of all the tea. London consumes just as much of all this as she wants, and sends the rest into the provinces and abro^j. It is truly wonderful where all the commodi ties go to; 10,000 pounds of pepper every year, tho sound of the words makes one sneeze!— 24,000,000 bushels of corn, 1,000,000, hundred weights of flour and.mcal, and more than 1,0Q0,- 000 ot oil cake entered the Thames alone in one recent year. . Two ships every day, or there abouts, of the average capacity of 700 tuns, enter the Thames from India and China alone. The export’ trade is enormous. No less than ten or eleven millions sterling are in the forms of clothing and materials for clothing ; £1,000,000 in boots and shoes, £1,000,000 in “ millinery and haberdashery,” £1,000,000 for.apparel and slops, ail go from one port in one year! Some of the items of imports are curious. Think of whole ship-loads of- Dutch eels, in cargoes of 20,000 pounds each, coming to London ; oxen -fattened for the London market in Schleswig Holstein; Ostend'butter and Ostend rabbits, which are sure to find a market in spite of the home supply.- -’■■■ Two million empty oyster shells were once brought over to,London in one ship for the sake of that beautiful lining which constitutes the mother-of-pearl used for many fancy and orna mental purposes. One fact most instructive is observable in this vast trade of the port of London, viz.; whatever is brought over, in what ever shape, from whatever place and by what ever persons, it is sure .to find a market. The price may be beaten down, if,tire demand is*lan guid, :but they never think' of saying, “We don’t: want any.” Notwithstanding the vast commercial, impor tance of London, the great American trade is mostly within, the grasp of Liverpool, because the Mersey is’nearerto America than the Thames, and: cotton is most needed hr Lancashire, and because the chief articles sold to America—such as metals, hardware, earthenware, &c., are fabricated nearer to Liverpool than to London. In the trade with Australia, too, Liverpool beats London, as measured by the' relative population of the two places.. — Chambers’ Journal.

If persons remain at home, they read; ' tif they journey by the rail, they read; if they go 'to the sea side, they read; we have met mis guided. individuals out in thq. open fields with books in hand; young-folks have been seen stretched underneath trees, and upon the banks of rivers, poring over the open page; on the tops of mountains, in- the desert for within forests— everywhere, men now pull printed sheets from’ their pockets; and in the earliest, latest, highest occupation of this life, they read."

But a short time must elapse before this- Loan is wholly the demand from Europe, Germany especially, being quite active. . As it is well known that the Secretary of the Treas ury has ample and unfailing resources in the duties on imports; internal revenues, and in the issue of in terest-bearing- Legal Tender Treasury Notes, it is nearly certain that it will not be necessary for him; : for a long time to come, to issue further permanent loans, the interest and principal of which are payable in gold. These considerations must lead to the prompt eon- ; elusion that the time is not far distant when these “ Five-Twenties ” will sell at a handsome premium, as was the result with the “ Seven-Thirty ” Loan, when it was all sold, and could no longer be subscri bed at par. This is a SIX PER CENT. LOAN, ; the interest and principal being payable in coin, thus yielding about EIGHT PER CENT, per annum at the present premium on gold. ' It is called “Five-Twenty,” from the fact that "whilst the Bonds may run for twenty years, yet the Government has the-right to pay them off in gold, at par, at any time after five years. ■ The interest is paid half-yearly, on the first days of November and May.

N ‘ Although not disposed to fevor or recommend Patent Medicines hi general, thriragh distrust of their ingredients and effects; I yet know of no sufficient reasons why a man may not testify to tbs benefits he believes himself to have received from any simple preparation, in the hope that he may thus contribute to the benefit of others, I do this more readily in regard to HooOand’s German Bitters, are. pared by Dr. 0. H. Jackson, of this city, because I waa prejudiced l against them for many years, under the impression that they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture. I am indebted to my friend Robert Shoemaker, Esq., for the removal of thia prejudice by proper teats, and.for encouragement to try them, when suffering from great and long-continued debility. The use of three bottlee of these Bitters, at the beginning of the present year, was followed by evident relief and restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigor which I had not fUt for six months before, and had almost despaired of regaining. I therefore thank God and my friend for directing me to the nee of them. eSmafik, Jims 38,1881. ■ J. NEWTON BROWN. particular notice.
