But as ho idly ■nod it over, two little papers slipped >m between the leaves and fluttered tho floor. He gathered them. They ire the old amusements of Euth’s .treless leisure. One, the likeness ©fa ranch of gentians just plucked from the swampy mould, blue as heaven, their vapory tissue—as if a breath dissolved it—so tenderly curled and fringed like some, radiate cloud, fragile, frosh, a creation of tho earth’s fairest finest ef fluence, dreams of innocence and morn ing still half veiled in their ineffable azure. Tho other, only a singlo piece of the wandering dog-tooth, with its sud den flaming blossom starting up from tho languid stem like a serpent’s head, full of ranged expression, and with its mottled leaf, so dewy, so dark, so cool, that.it seemed to hold in itself the re flection of green-gloomed transparent streams. running over pebbly bottoms. The interlocutor examined them for . a few moments steadily. “ Your name, “ may I ask ? | “Euth Yetton." * “ Has it ever occurred to you, Hiss ' Yetton, to offer those sketches for (sale ?” K “ Those!" “ I see not." ; “Are they—worth anything, sir?" “ Yes, decidedly.

Christian Mis sions. 7. The Old Anglo-Scottish Dia locts. 8. Rambles in the Deserts of Syria. 9. Sporting Books. 10. Our Foreign Policy. Tho first article contains simply a glance at the distinguished public servi ces of Lord Elgin, and a fuller though brief account of his last days. He un dertook the Vice Royalty of India with a pro-sontiment that ho should never return, and there soon closed a life of distinguished ability and usefulness. The sixth article is a resume of the working experience of Christian mis sions, complaining, as it well may, that the written histories of missions are so inadequate, both in quantity and ckdr aelor, to the magnitude of the subject. There is also an earnest advocacy of special institutions for the education of intended missionaries. “The training is best for tho home pastor is by no means fittest for the missionary. The doctrinal disputes of Europe are not often called into requisition among Brahmins and Bonzes. At any rate a comparatively brief course of such, stud ies would Berve the purpose of the missionary, while a large portion of his curriculum might be occupied with the history and language and literature, and mythology of the country he is to evan gelize. As it is, he goes out to India or China utterly ignorant of these, and be fore he can speak a word to the Pagan, his health is broken, or he wants a wife, and must come home for a year or two to Britain, so that the church gets but a brief term of service from him.” The last article—Our Foreign Policy—de fends British neutrality on the Ameri can question, and would have the govern ment carry it still farther by applying to buccaneer vessels unlawfully fitted out in England—such as the Alabama —the rule that vessels which have been equipped in violation 'of the laws of a neutral state, shall be excluded from the hospitality which is extended to other bolligerent cruisers, on whose origin there is no such taint.” Bibliotheca Sacra for July 1864.

The Doetrino of God’s Providence in itself, and in its Relations and Uses. 5. Whe don on the Will. 6. Egyptology, Ori ental Travel and Discovery. 7. Noti ces of Recent Publications. The first article is announced as the commencement of a doctrinalserios, and a valuable series it will bo, if the one before us is a fair earnest of what are to come. The argument ,for free com munion lies,as might be expected chiefly against those who would restrict the privileges of the Lord's Supper to the fractional number of professing Chris tians who have submitted to immersion as the only form of true baptism. The inconsistency—the whimsicalness in fact, of this basis of exclusion, is strik ingly exhibited in this, that there is no Other external Christian act or rite which the advocates of close communion' pretend to invalidate, or to pronounce unacceptable to God, on account of alleged mistakes in the mode of admin istration. Baptism alone they single out from all others, as one which must take the precise form which they think the Scriptures demand. More than this, they freely reciove to the communion people of known and wide difference of ■bob Hmtffty~TS3pjsCtintftho doefe grace—matters of even higher import ance than tho mere mode of an outward ordinance. Tho article is much too solid, and so far as it goes, too exhaus tive to admit of oven a synopsis in a notico of thiß kind. Wo say so far is it goes, for it only takes up the subject in the light of tho nature and genius of Christianity. The discussion is to be continued, when other stand-points for the argument will be taken. The third article is a defense of tho long received opinion of the church, that John tho Beloved Disciple, was tho author of the Apocalypse. Against modern theories to the contx*ary, it is argued—That tho testimony of the Fathersfor John as the author is decided, full, varied, continuous and almost unbroken in the. early centuries.—That this authorship of the Book cannot be denied without imputing dishonesty to tho declarations of the' Book itself.— That while, owing to tho origin, nature and design of the work, its general cha racteristics differ from those of the other writings of John, still there is nothing in it at variance with them, and it has as many points of union with them as we would expect in writings so diverse in their general inception and object.—That there arc real indications: of the same hand that penned the fourth Gospel.—That certain diversities from tho other Johanncan books are easily accounted for, as is done.

Charity at Home. —Eighty-eight persons, either ministers, widows of ministers, or their children, have been aided the past year by the funds of the O. S. Presbyterian Church. $13,160, have been distributed to such applicants as have been endorsed by the Presbytery, in whose bounds they re side. Letters from the recipients of this money, in many cases, are very affecting. These venerable men, who have grown old in the service of their Master, like the pension ers of our army, are entitled to these con tributions, as a reimbursement for their un requited labors. The example is worthy of imitation in other denominations.—Congrega tionalist. Union. — The Chmhcrland Presbyterian thus closes a lengthy editorial on the subject of Christian union : “ All the branches of the; Presbyterian Church, united in one body, would possess more intelligence, more influ ence, more moral power, than any other ecclesiastical organization in the world. Whether such a union would better sub serve the interests of the Redeemer's king dom, is a question of deep and solemu inte rest. Could it be made apparent that such would be the case, then all should pray .and labour for it as ‘a consummation devoutly to be wished. ’ ” The True Presbyterian, a disloyal sheet we rarely allude to, reveals its secession venom in a bitter and low'tirade against Parson Brownlow, Dr. B. J. Breckenridge and 11, W. Beecher, which opens in this style: “"They are representatives of the lowest and most loathsome feature of the present; revolution, its thorough prostitution of the religion and ordinances of Jesus Christ to the hellish purposes of partisan politicians, beyond all precedent in church history.” The Portland Heresy Again. — Rev. J. E. Walton, whom the late council in Portland refused to ordain over the . Third Church,; sends a statement to the Press in that city/ complaining that the report of his examina tion, in the Christian Mirror, which we gave in brief last week, while telling the truth, does not state the whole truth. The sub stance of his explanations is that he does not hold that any one in our day can “ claim from others the same reverence for their teachings that the apostles rightly claim;” that he does not regard Christians now-a-days inspired “in the same direction or for the same purpose as the apostles and that “ there is no such thing as restora tion in the case of those who die impenitent beneath the light of Christianity.” These ex planations, to be understood, should be read in connection with our last week's state ment.. A Portland correspondent is inform ed—we hope incorrectly—that Air.

The following letter was read at the/Sunday evening meeting, with thrilling effect: “My Dear Pasroß: —l have felt/to-day as I have often before, a regret that A lack of manliness is an insuperable harrier to my desire to be placed in front of the battle-field. I am not a young man, and therefore have no call to ponder your earnest appeal; nei ther am I ‘ old,’ but simply awoman. How ever, you will not deny me the privilege of sending my ‘substitute.’ My sons would long since have consecrated themselves to the service if their physical condition had warranted it. I inclose five hundred dollars from my private purse, trusting that it may be tho means of sending to the field some true Christian patriot and soldier, who will be able to ‘stand up for Jesus' in the camp, and stand by our flag to the death, if need be.”' We are glad to learn that the congrega tion of Epiphany, which withdrew from con nection wtih the Episcopal Church, as stat ed some weeks ago, has been duly recogniz ed by the Congregational Council, and the pastor, Rev. B. K. Malthy, was regularly in stalled, June 22d. The ■Cincinnati Gazette says: “The exercises of installation, with the recognition of the congregation, were of the most interesting character. The installation sermon, by the Rev. C. B. Boynton, of the Vine street Congregational Church, was most able and eloquent. The Rev H M Storrs, of the First Congregational Church] Presbyterian. Congregational, followed in a very appropriate address to the_ pastor elect and to the people, with the giving of the right hand of fellowship to Rev. Wm. L. Ropes, of Cam bridge, Mass., offered the installing prayer, followed by appropriate music and chants by the choir. Under the new auspices, the friends of this hopeful aud growing organi zation are encouraged to look for important results. Great unanimity has prevailed among the members in regard to the transi iv, orl .e i 1 they have passed, while the field for usefulness they occupy is a very promising one.” The continuation of liturgical services in public worship is still maintained by the congregation, to be acted upon at their own convenience. Lutheran. Rev. .B. W. Schmauk, having accepted the pastorship of the Evan. Luth. Salem's con gregation, in Lebanon, Pa,, to which he was unanimously elected, was installed on the 7th Trinity Sunday, July 10th. The instal lation sermon was preached by Dr. Mann, in the German language. It was indeed a rare spiritual treat to the large and atten tive audience, to listen to his discourse based on 2d Tim. 4; 5, and setting forth the reasons why a minister of the Gospel should feel himself encouraged to faithfulness in his sacred office.— Lutheran.

Theextract is a fair specimen of what appears, in. the Wesleyan every week: “The work of carnage in Virginia still goes on, and with little prospect of immedi ate termination. The Federal forces have been badly whipped in several battles, but bravely and obstinately pursue their work of death. The Confederates have of course, suffered very heavily, hut have nobly resist ed the invading forces, and have maintained their positions well. The gains of the North have been so small, and their reverses so great, as to afford very slight hope of success in the great object of the campaign—the taking of Richmond.” Probably the Wesleyan considers the mur der of colored troops, the starvation of priso ners, the violation of flags of truce, as ele ments of this “ noble resistance."

But every body in his large congregation thought it would be better to send a more able-bodied substitute, and to retain their pastor in the field to which he was better adapted. This they did, and more too. At a subsequent meeting of the church, $750 were added to liis salary, making it $2,500, besides an out right gift of §750, as a “special token of affectionate regard.” The membership of the church is now nearly eight hundred and it is simply just to say that few pastors of anydenommation, in any part of the coun try/have a record of more successful labors than that of Dr. Fifly -‘—itca.

A small, but some what increasing congregation has been aath ered, meeting at present in the Represen tatives Hall at the State Capitol; a nrayer meetibg has been established; a Sunday school will be opened in a week or two, and on Sunday last I was permitted to baptize a young brother connected with one of our gunboats.

Episcopal Clergymen and the Draft. — A pe tition to be presented to the authorities at Washington, is now iii circulation among the clergymen of New Jersey and New York, containing a series of resolutions adopted at a meeting,of the clerical and lay members of the Diocesan Convention of New Jersey, held immediately after the adjournment of the Convention at Newark, on the 2Gth of May. The resolutions set forth that, “ Whereas, by recent enactments of the Go vernment of the United States, contrary to the usual custom and ‘laws of nations, the clergy are liable to enrollment and draft for military service, thus imposing, in the alter native of' a substitute, a burden of expense, that, from their self-denying position, they are, in the majority of cases, unable to bear incase of a repeal of the exemption clause, forcing them into a service and position in consistent with their vows, separating them from their hallowed responsibilities, and leaving the people to‘perish in irreligion and vice;” therefore-the clergy respectfully and earnestly petition the Government of the United States to enact such exceptions to the general laws respecting enrollment and drafting as may leave the clergy in these States secure in the administration of their respective offices.” We venture the guess that the “ lay and clerical members,” above mentioned, are not intense in their love of the Government of the United States; and we guess, secondly, that it will be no harder for the clergy of New York and New Jersey to go to the war, than for the preachers of Ohio and Pennsylvania, or for those of any of the other States. We hope the move will not be' successful. — N. W. Christian Advo cate. ' Kevivals, The First Congregational Church, Nan tuckfet, Bev. S. D.

In Stoughton a revival of religion has been in progress there for a number of months.

Miscellaneous A Presbyterian missionary murdered, it is supposed, a servant hired to do the deed. A letter to the Methodist says: The Rev. Isidore Lowenthal, missionary to the Afghans, was killed at Peshawer recent ly. It appears that Mr. Lowenthal suffered" from headache, and was in the habit of going out very early to get the air. On the morning he was shot, he got up about three o’clock and went to walk in bis verandah, when his watchman, taking'him for a thief as he alleges, discharged his carbine, killing him instantly. There is much doubt as to the character of the deed, which we leave to the civil authorities to sift, merely re marking that the state of society at Peshawer has loDg been very unsettled. Eev. I. Low enthal was a very remarkable man. Physi cally he was almost a dwarf, being the smallest European, i£ is said, that ever came to India; but he had a mental power which has given him a name the world cannot willingly let die. He was a Polish Jem, who found his way to the United States, and in 1851 was peddling jewelry in tlie streets of Princeton, Hew Jersey, being then about twenty years of age. He attracted the notice of a clergyman in Princeton, who appealed to some benevolent geritlSmefl and secured means to give him an education at the college of that place. During his stay there, he became convinced of the truths of Christianity, and was converted and offered himself to the Presbyterian Mis sionary Society- for Afghanistan, fancying that among the Afghans might be found traces of the lost tribes of Israel. He reach ed Peshawer in 1856, being then twenty-five, years of age, and was well up it is said in some eight- languages. He soon learned the Pushtoo language, and completed a translation of the New Testament into it. In controversy with Mohammedans and in the Bazaar, Mr. Lowenthal was said to be a master, while his contributions to Westmin ster and Blackwood, and the high estimation in which he was'held by such men as Sir Herbert Edwards and Sir John Lawrence, do not leave him to need our praise. “He rests from his labors, and his works do fol low him.” The murderer of Dr. Janvier, the mission ary, is sentenced to he hung. He says he killed him because he was a European. Eev. Dr. D. X. Junkin, well-known to many of our readers, had his library, which was the accumulation of thirty years, con sumed, together with many of his valuable papers in the Canal Street Presbyterian Church, New York, which was burned with twenty or thirty other houses, through the careless use of fireworks in that city on the Fourth of July.

American Girls in Canadian Convents. —At a recent celebration in a convent of Montreal, a great sensation was produced by the exhi bition of a iabaleau vivant of “ the Immacu late Conception.” "What a subject for a company cf youhg girls! The Montreal TPhness describes the scene and one of its results: —“ The Virgin was represented by a a handsome young woman, in the attitude usual in the famous pictures of the subject. Around her, and beneath her feet, were numerous angels, selected amongst the pret tiest girls of the seminary. The effect was splendid, much applauded, and equally gratifying to both tne performers and spec tators. The chief part and that most satis factory to female vanity, namely, that of personifying the Holy Virgin, had been re served fof a young American heretic, sent to the convent to learn French, and receive at a cheap rate an ornamental education. The good nuns did not miscalculate as-to the moral effect on the heart of the Ameri can girl, of making her the chief point of attraction at a public Catholic display. They boast now of her conversion. She has been pompously admitted to their church, and made to take the holy sacrament in the presence of numerous witnesses." The Methodist has the following just criti cism : The Washington Chronicle. —The Washing ton Chronicle, supposed to be owned, and in effect edited, by Mr. Forney, Secretary of the United States Senate, passes tor the organ of the President of the United States. Of course, we may not even guess to what extent Mr. Lincoln would make himself responsible for what appears in the Chronicle; much less would we hold him personally accountable for its errors in theology or its attacks on Christian morals. We have only to say on this point, that if the great Chris tian public are brought to believe that Mr. Lincoln either authorizes or approves the Chronicle’s late assaults on the sanctity of the Sabbath, or its comments on the pro clamation for the ensuing fast, their hearts will sink within them, and their estimate of the President will fall in a corresponding degree. First, then, we have a short edi torial on “The. Day of Humiliation and Prayer,” in which, among other things, occurs the following: “Thereseems scarcely a need to point out the why and wherefore of this prostration of ourselves. Everyman, be he or be he not invested with a particle of religious principle, feels at times that he is a recreant, that he has wandered from the good old paths, and that he has been groping in the daiknes3, And perhaps this should be the feeling of the nation at this time. It is icorse than useless to employ the effete o.nd nauseating cant of the day, and to re peat that the nation is being punished for its,sins.” We regard the Chronicle as engaged, consciously, or unconsciously, intentionally or unintentionally, in either case most criminally, because, recklessly, in an ef fort to hinder the werk of the Christian church in the land. It wants the Sabbath made common, and the church antagonized by Sunday cars, Sunday newspapers, and Sunday theatres; what more could it ask or attempt ? Its spirit is dictatorial and offen sive in the highest degree. It speaks, ap parently, esc cathedra, as if under the impres sion that, Washington being largely ten anted by employees of the government, the official organ may dictate its morals. -fy- pft MINUTES OP ASSEMBLY.

The public have long been in want of some conve nient, safe and beneficial Dentrifiec, which could be relied on as having a healthy and preserving effect on the teeth and gums. Hundreds of worthless prepara tions have already been offered as such, in the form of powders, pastes and liquids, when a trial has only proved them injurious to the enamel of the teeth, or else too inconvenient and unpleasant for daily use* so indispensable to the preservation of the teeth.

Its fragrance and convenience make it a pleasure to use it; it is perfectly free from all acids or other ingredients having the least tendency to injure the enamel. This popular Dentrifiee is now used and recommended by many of the first Dentists in the country, as well as by many of the most eminent Divines, Chemists and Scientific gentlemen of the day. . 4 The following eminent clergymen and their families, of Sew York city, together with hundreds of others, having used the SOZODONT, are convinced of its excellent and invaluable qualities, and give it their most cordial com mendation, CLERGYMEN OF NEW YORK.
