ONLY ONE CROSSING
Only one crossing over
Waters all dark and wide ;
Storms on the fearful billow,
Peace on the other side.
Only one scene of anguish
Sorrow in sad words told,
“ Then a soft sound of singing,
Softened by harps of gold.
Only one crossing over,
Far from tho cares of.earth,
Mansions of rest are open,
There is life’s sweetest birth.
Look, where the fond eye closing,
Speaks of the sweet repose,
Par from the land of mourning,
Heaven —shall soon disclose.
Only one crossing oyer
Sadness and shroud aiul bier,
Pilling one hour of parting,
Then I shall enter there.
Only one night of trial.
Borne on the swelling river,
Then to my Saviour’s presence
I shaft be gone forever.
LITTLE LEITH'S NEW CLOAK AND FURS.
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. I

There does not exist a more ingenious and in-1

factory railway loeomoties <ft.nd marine steam
engines which would do no discredit to a Eu

small railway. Japanese captains command
Government war steamers, and the machinery
is superintended bv dative engineers. They
understand, and are making available, the
electric telegraph. They construct telescopes,
’barometers, tnennoineters, theodolites. -Their
hydrographical attainments are remarkable ;
their charts are rightly triangulated and always
most correct, and unrivalled for the accuracy
of their drawing and their neatness. They are
well versed in astronomy, and we have heard

THE WONDEKSOF THE PORT OF LONDON.
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.
DECAY OF CONVERSATION;
We give place to an amusing extract from
“Chamber’s Journal.” on-this subject..
“The ancient art oftalkmgis falling into decay.
It is. an ascertainable fact that, iij proportion ,to
the increased population, the aggregate hulk of
conversation is lesseningr .. Feo.ple nowadays
have something else to do but talk. Not 1 only
do they live in such a hurry that there is only
; leisure for just comparing ideas as to the: wea
ther, but they have each and all a gross quantity
of reading to do, which puts talking out of the
'question. 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." The fact -is
incontestably true, that madern men apd women
are reading themselves into a comparatively si
lent race. Reading is the great delusion of the
present time; it has become a sort of lay piety,
according to which the perusal of volumes reck

THE UNDERSIGNED
GENERAL SUBSCRIPTION AGENT.
Is authorized by the Secretary of the Treasury to'
continue the sale of this popular -Loan, and TEN
DAYS public notice will be given of discontinuance.
ABOUT TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS remain
unsold, and this amount is scarcely sufficient to fur
nish a basis for the circulation of the National Bank
ing Associations now being formed in every part of
the country. 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.
Subscribers can have Coupon Bonds, which are pay
able to bearer, and issued for $5O, $lOO, $5OO, and
$l,OOO, or Registered Bonds ot similar denominations,
and, in addition, $5,000 and 10,000.
‘ These “Five-Twenties” cannot be taxed by States,
cities, towns' or counties, and the Government tax on
them is only one and a half per Cent.' on the amount
of income, when the income exceeds six hundred dol

with great disorder in my head and nervous system. I was advised by
a Mend to try a .bottle of your German Bitters. I did so, aqd have
experienced great and unexpected relief.. My health haa been very
materially benefited. I confidently reeommmend the article where I
meet with, cases similar to my own, and have been assured by many

Although not disposed to fevor or recommend Patent Medicines hi

believes himself to have received from any simple preparation, in the

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.
