We tfbe compelled to say frankly to OUT Subscribers that this advance is 100 small at present prices of material and labor. We must either add another fifty cents or reduce the size of the paper. Which shall we do ?] Our readers will not be surprised to learn that we are compelled to follow the univer sal upward movement of prices and to ask an advance upon our present terms. We cannot tell them how often,-since the open ing of the year, we have been compelled to submit to this process ourselves, in. every department of our work. We must now ask OUr subscribers to aid in bearing these accu mulated burdens. We shall add but a small percentage to our former charges, believing that the increase of circulation will be suffi cient, with this charge,, to meet the addi tional expense to which we are subject. We therefore call their attention to the follow ing announcement: INCREASE OF PRICE, From and after September First To Mail Subscribers per annum If paid within three months - - To City Subscribers per annum If paid within three months - - •Clubs of ten or more by mail to one address, always strictly in advance and in one remittance, each - - - S carrier, each -------- nisters and ministers’s widows, sup plied at club rates.

(See advertisement for the premiums.) Subscribers, new or old, whose year begins ■before the First of September, are not sub ject to this charge until the commencement •of their now year. HEW AND DESIRABLE PREMIUMS. We are able to announce some valuable additions to our list of premiums which at the present season of high prices we are sure will be appreciated by our friends, and es pecially by our ministerial brethren, whose inadequate salaries forbid any large appro priations for books. DR. SHEDD ON CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE, For four new subscribers and the pay, $lO. in advance, we will send, post paid, the new and valuable work of Dr. Shedd, of Union Theological Seminary, New York, on the History of Christian Doctrine, in 2 vols.

Sent for four subscribers, and the pay, $lO, in advance. MINISTERIAL RELIEF FUND. Mr. Editor: —-The recent article in your columns on this subject has been responded to by several donations, whioh will be duly acknowledged when the quarterly receipts are published. Until this cause works its way into the churches,, and becomes an object for whioh regular collections will be taken, there will bo a necessity for individual donations ; and we hope that they will continue to come from those who have sympathy for disabled ministers and their needy families. - As an incentive to earnestness in this matter, it may be proper to state that within the last ton days additional ap plications have been made for assistance from tho Fund. One from a suffering brother in the State of New York, who, after twenty-nine years of faithful labors in the ministry has been prostrated by disease from which there is no hoj>e of his recovery. He is destitute of all earthly means of support, and must depend eh others. Another is the case of a widow in lowa, with several chil dren dependent on' her exertions for support and education. Her husband was an “ abl®j successful, and widely known minister.” His labors were Abundantly blessed, and in the sickness which closed his life he enjoyed much of the divine presence. He died poor, dr rather, the little ho possessed on earth was taken from his family by unlawful means. They are now left dependent on others and upon what the widow may earn. Facts like these might be multiplied, but let these suffice for the present. All persons desirous of aiding in-this wood cause, may address Eev. Ohari.es Brows, Secretary, 1334 Chestnut street, Philadelphia; or John C. Farr, Esq., Treasurer, 324 Chestnut street, Philada. August 22, 1864. “ The burning" of Chamborsburg," in another part of our paper, should be credited' to the jMtherctn of this city. This indefatigable evangelist is labour ing successfully in the far northwest. We give, in another part of the paper, a private letter from an excellent minis terial brother in. that region, who ap proached Mr. Hammond with some hesitation and doubt, hut wto, like many others, was soon completely won over, and enlisted in the work with the full conviction that it was the work of God. ' It seems to us that Mr. Hammond’s simplp, earnest, illustrative style, and the evident, blessing that accompanies him, point to the army as a field in which he might he exceedingly useful. Gould not the Christian Commission in some way secure his services? We volunteer the suggestion without know ing his own views on the subject. - Deaths of Ministers. —Rev. Joseph A. Collier, pastor of the 2d Reformed Dutch Church in Kingston, N. Y-, de parted this life on the 6th instant. He was the author of “ The Way of Peace,,” a premium essay designed to he a Chris tian and Biblical argument against war; “Little Crowns and How to Wear Them,” a Sabbath School book, and “The Young Men of the Bible,” pub lished by the Tract Society. The Chris tian Intelligencer says of him : “He had a gentle, guileless, diffident, hut right manly spirit. He walked habitually with God, delighted in his service, and was truly without exaggeration in all respects ‘ a good minister of the Lord Jesus Christ.’ His removal from the sphere of his labors in the very prime of his life is a public calamity, but to him •an unspeakable gain.” Rev. Dr. E. E. Seelye, of Schenectady, also Re formed Dutch, died at Sandy Hill, H, Y., on the 10th inst. We also learn that Rev. Isaac Yan Doren, the oldest mem ber of the Presbytery of Hew Bruns wick, died at Perth Amboy, on Friday, August 19, after a short illness, aged ninety-one years. Dr. Cogswell, the next oldest member of the same Pres bytery, died a few days before. - $3 00 - 2 50 - 3 50 - 3 00 Rev. Jonas King, D. D., of Athens, Greece, arrived at New York on the 9th inst., accompamed by Mrs. King,' after an absence of thirty-six years. Dr. King’s long residence in Greece, as, Missionary of the American Board, has been one of incessant activity as the chief standard bearer of Evangelical Christianity in the kingdom. Baffled and persecuted by the civil authorities he has steadily wrought out for Protest antism an influence and moral strength which has now every appearance of fixedness. Concerning his return the N. 7. Observer sayß that “ he expresses the liveliest satisfaction and delight in beholding once more,his native country, and in witnessing the marks of its pro gress during his long absence. "When he left, not a railroad had been project ed, nor had the telegraph been even conceived. This is but a sign of the changes that have taken place. We know of no American who could receive a heartier welcome on coming to our shores than Dr. King will receive from the American people, and especially from the Christian Community.” Fulton Street (N. Y.) Noon-day Prayer Meeting.— The Christian Intel ligencer speaks of a decisive increase of interest in this meeting. An uncom mon number of anxious and inquiring persons are present every day. “ The signs of spiritual trouble are on their faces, and the thoughts of the heart are thus revealed. It is one of the features of interest that the leaders have bogun to awaken interest in behalf of this class of persons, by calling the atten tion of the meeting to prayer in their behalf. A leader said one day that he had been inquired of, why we have so many anxious with us every day, in such a time as this. ‘ And I answered/ said he, ‘that I knew of no reason for it, only that we expected it, and desired and prayed for it, that we might have anxious ones with ns every day. If we pray for them, God will give them to ns day. And if we pray for conver sions, we shall soon hear cf conver sions.’ ” Colored Churches in New Jersey. —We have noticed an item taking the rounds of the religious papers, stating that there were but two churches in New Jersey composed of colored per sons, and that these numbered but twelve members each. The statement has elicited some examination into the facts; and it appears that in that state theres-are churches of colored persons connected with the Methodist, Baptist, and Presbyterian denominations, about one hundred in all, and with member ships varying for the most part from twenty to over one hundred. The Afri can Methodist Episcopal Church has the largest snare. PHILADELPHIA, THU® MR. HAMMOHD ANOTHER PAPER ACCEPTING THE NE- CESSITY OF THE TIMES. The Christian Herald and Presbyterian Recorder (Cincinnati) of the 18th inst., announces an advance in price to $2 50 in advance, or $3 if payment is delayed) with the usual 50 cents additional'to subscribers supplied by carrier. It says: “The advance which we have adopted' will not meet the necessity of the times, provided the cost of material and labor continues at present rates/; We now pay one hundred and forty per cent, advance for paper, and nearly one hundred per cent, on all other things. $3 a year is as low as tlie 1 Herald can he afforded, to give tlfe editors a fair salary; and unless goll declines within a few months to at least 200, we shall be , obliged to advance again." Rev. H. H. Jesstjp, Missionary of |hc American Board in Syria, has arrived in this country -with his children. Mrs. Jessup, on whose account he left Syria, lived only to reach Alexandria, Egyp|. She had been a great sufferer for seve ral weeks, hut her last hours were peaceful and calm, and she fell asleep gently and without a struggle.

' pen, I 1 Soft SYNOD OP CANADA PRESBYTERIAi OHTJKOH, This Synod which was formed three years ago by the union of the Free and United Presbyterian churches in Cana da, held its annual meeting at Toronto, in .the end of June. The number o 4 ministers was 233, being an increase of I 1 since last year. The vacant charges .< were about 25; the communicants, 40,- 000; the Sabbath scholars, 21,000; the amount of stipend paid, $123,000 and it was stated that during the last year about $6,000 had been unpaid, chiefly to ministers having stipends of about $400; The Synod accepted the Bev. George Paxton Young’s resignation of his pro fessorship in Knox College, after hav ing appointed a committee to converse .with him. The Bev. Bobert Burns, D. D., formerly of Paisley, asked assist ance in his professorial labors, owing to age and infirmity. The Synod found there would be difficulty in this, and he agreed to retire, the Synod offering*him an allowance of $l,OOO and the rank of Emeritus Professor. Principal Willis, formerly of Glasgow, applied for an augmentation of his salary—l,6oo we believe. This the Synod declined. It waß agreed that the college should henceforth be purely theological, and that only one new professor should be appointed- The Presbyteries were di rected to nominate a professor, to be elected by the Synod of next year. It was agreed that .a,, theological college 'AT, AUGUST 25, 1864. {should be instituted at Montreal, and the Presbytery of Montreal were au thorised to take Bteps for procuring a charter, and directed to report next year. A proposal was adopted that the phurch should be divided into three Synods—Montreal, Toronto, and Lon don ; and that a General Assembly ishould be formed. This was remitted to Presbyteries for consideration. It was also agreed that a mission should be established among the Indians on Mackenzie Paver. TENNYSON’S LAST VOLUME.* SECOND NOTICE, The two longer pieces, first given to the public in this volume, “ Enoch Ar den” and “ Aylmer’s Field” are sim'ple and touching Btories in blank verse. Idylls of the People we may call them, rather than “Idylls of the King,” in ; which the poet’s skill seems to be em ployed chiefly in giving a simple beauty, clearness, and melody to narratives of {events little removed from the probabil ities of every day life. “ Enoch Arden” is one of three personages inhabiting a seaport town, the only indication of whose identity, besides the graphic description of the locality, is given in the words 1 ' “ And high in heaven behind it a gray down With Danish barrows.” The three characters are “ Annie Lee The prettiest little damsel in the port, And Philip Kay, the miller’s only son, And Enoch Arden, a rough sailor’s lad Made orphan by a shipwreck. Enoch becomes the successful suitor of Annie Lee and marries her, to the great sorrow of Philip. After a happy wed ded life of seven years, iu which three children, were born, to them , “ There came a change! as all things human change.” Enoch, pursuing a career of honest toil, met with an accident and broke a lea:. His business passed into other bands. “ And on him fell, Although a grave and staid God-fearing man, Yet lying thus inactive, doubt'and gloom. He seemed, as in a nigbt-mare of the night, To see his children leading evermore Low miserable lives of hand to mouth, And her he loved,.a beggar ; then he prayed, ‘ Save them from this, whatever comes to me!' ” The whole of the story now evolves the course, of a mysterious Providence in which the prayer was literally answered. The wife and children were bountifully and jjjonorably cared for, while poor Enoch suffered a fate far worse than death, and hears it with Christian hero ism and resignation too, that he may not interrupt the joy of those who, though they love him, would be plunged into the deepest distress and perplexity if they thought he still lived. We will not anticipate for those who have not read it, the course of the story, nor quote some delicate touches in which a true woman’s nature is revealed. Suf fice it to say that Enoch, bent on mend ing his decayed prospects, in spite of liis wife’s dismal forebodings, and pro testations, started on a distant voyage in the ship ill-named the “ Good For tune.” The outward course of the ves sel was prosperous: ' “Unvext She slipped across the summer of the world. The breath of heaven came continually Amd sent her sweetly by the golden isles, TUI silent in her oriental haven. There Enoch traded for himself, and bought Qikint monsters for the market of those times A gilded dragon, also, for the babes.” u\ disaster comes with the return L 13 lucky her home-voyage: at first indeed rdugh many a fair sea-eircle, day by' day, irfe rocking, her full-basted figure-head ires o’er the ripple feathering from her \bowB,” Jm\followed by baffling 'winds and by stoim befel the ship, and she was all™ wrecked on a lonely island,, oehland two others only escaping jtruttion. The poet’s description of scoies in this unknown island, Ricm bat the loneliest in a lonely sea,” anting the finest effusions of his [e quote most of these lines : want was there of human sustenance, fruitage, mighty nuts and nourishing rooti; _ ave for pity was it hard to take e helpless life, so wild that it was tame. There in a seajrard-gazing mountain-gorge, They built, and thatahed with leaves of palm, a hut, * Half hut, half cavern. So the three Set in this Eden of all plenteousness, jDwelt with eternal summer, ill-content.” \ One of th,e three’died from hurts re ceived .in the wreck. The remaining Comrade,, while laboring at a canoe, carelessly-exposing himself was sun |.ruek and died. Thus Enoch was left alone. / “ In those two deaths, he read God’s warning ‘ wait.’ ” Then follows a ful ler description of the scenery which piet the lonely man’s eye. The splen did imagination and rich copiousness of the poet are nowhere more impressively 'displayed. v The mountain wooded to the peak, the I lawn And winding glades high up like ways to Heaven, The slendor coco’s drooping crown of plumes, The lightning flash of insect and of bird, The lustre of the long convolvuluses That,coiled around the stately stems, and ran 13 veil' to the limit of the land, the glowß And glories of the broad belt of the world, All tliese he saw,” and “ heard The myriad shriek, of wheeling_ ocean fowl* The league-long roller thundering on the reef, * Enoch Arden Ac., by Alfred Tennyson, D. 0. L, Poet Laureate, Boston, licknor A Fields, 16 mo. pp, 204. With SJt e author’s imprimatur. The moviDg whisper of huge trees that branched And blossomed in the zonith, or the sweep Of some precipitous rivulet to the wave.” ***' * * « “ No sail from day to day, hut every day The sunrise broken into scarlet shafts Among the palms and ferns and precipices ; The blaze upon the waters to the east; The blaze upon his island overhead; The blaze upon the waters to the west • Then the great stars that globed themselves in Heaven, The hollower-bellowing ocean, and again The scarlet shafts of sunrise—but no sail.” The monotony of his reveries in his long period of solitude is once singu larly broken: “ Once likewise in the ringing of his ears, Tho’ faintly, merrily—far and far away— He heard the pealing of his parish bells ; Then, tho’ he knew not wherefore, started up Shuddering, and when the beauteous hateful isle Returned upon him, had not his poor heart Spoken with That, which being everywhere. Lets none, who speaks with Him, seem all alone, Surely the man had died of solitude.” What was meant by this mysterious thrill of sympathy and how it was after wards explained to poor Enoch, we will not disclose, and so spoil the story; He was rescued from the, lonely island and at length Drew in the dewy meadowy morning breath Of England, reached his native town, performed a marvel of self-denial for others, saw the fulfillment of his already quoted prayer, and died. “ So past the strong heroic Boul away,. And when they buried him, the little port Had seldom seen a costlier funeral,” POOR RICHARD'S SEASONS FOE BUY ING UNITED STATES SEOUEITES. The other, day we heard a rich neigh bor say he had rather have railroad stocks than the U. S. stocks, for they paid higher interest. Just then Poor Richard came up, and said that he just bought some of Uncle Sam’s three years notes, paying 1 seven and three-tenth per cent, interest. My rich friend exclaim ed, “ You! I thought you had no mo ney to buy with.” “Yes,” said Richard, “ I had a little laid up, for you know it is well to hhve something laid up against a wet day, and I have kept a , little of my earnings by me.” How Poor Pick ard is known to all the country round tci be'a very prudent and industrious, and withal, wise man; for Kichard never learned anything he did not know how to make nse of, and his wisdom and prudence had become a proverb. So when he,took out his savings and bought the notes, more than one was surprised, and it was no wonder rich Mr. Smith asked why. So Poor Richard in a very quiet humble way —for he never assum ed any thing—replied, “I suppose, Mr. Smith, you know a great deal better than I do what to do with money, and howto invest; for I never had much, and all I got 1 had to work hard for. But I have looked round a good deal upon my neighbors, and seen what they did with their money and 1 will tell you some things I saw and what I thought of it. > One very rich matt was always dealing in money, and he made a great deal, but was never satisfied without high interest. So he lent most of his money to some people who he thought were very rich, at a very high rate; and he often told how much he got, till one day the people he lent to went to smash. He got back about ten cents on a dollar of his money. I know another old gentleman, who had some bank Stock and ho went to the .bank and got ten per cent, dividend. The President and everybody said it was the best stock in the conntry—paid ten per cent. But what did the old man do hut sell his stock the next day! Why? why ? said everybody. Because, it pays too much.dividend. And in six months the bank went to smash. How, thdt I know to be a fact. Well, Mr. Smith, you say railroad stocks are best because they pay high dividends'? Can you tell how long they will pay them ? I like rail roads. I helped to build one, and: Igo in for useful things. But I teil you •what I know about them. One-third of the railroads don’t pay any dividend, and two-thirds (and some of them cracked up, too,) do not pay as much as Government stocks.. How that brings me to the Government securities, and I will tell you why I prefer them. I take it you will admit, Mr. Smith, that in the lonfg run the investment wich is best should have these qualities: First, it should be perfectly secure ; secondly, that the income should be uniform and permanent —not up one year and down the next; and thirdly, that it should be marketable , so when your wet day comes, and you want your money, you can get .it back. And I think these. notes or bonds have got these qualities more than any other kind of personal pro perty you can name. Try it. “ First, then, I have been looking into that great book you call the Census Statistics. I used to think it wasn’t worth much; but since I began to study it, I tell you, I found out a good many things very useful for me to know. I found out by looking at the crops, and the factories and shipping, &c., that we (I don’t mean the Rebel States) are making a thousand millions of dollars a year more than we spend. So you see that (since the increase of debt isn’t half that) we are growing rich instead of poorer, as John Bull and the croakers would have us think. Then the debt will be paid, anyhow, no matter how long the war is. Besides, did you ever hear of a government that broke before the people did ? Look into your big histories, Mr. Smith, and you will find the people break before the Govern ments. Well,, then, I call that stock perfectly secure. “ Secondly, you want the income uni form and. permanent. Weil, I want you to take up a list of banks, railroads, mines, insurance companies—anything you choose—and tell me (honor- brignt, now!) how many have,,;paid a,. uniform ( income for ten or twenty years; Jjfbt one in a hundred, Mr. Smith, aud you know it. “How here is the Government will pay you without varying a-tittle. How I like something that gives me my in come every year. “Thirdly, you want something which is marketable any day in the year. How, if’.you will ask any bank President, he will tell you that Government stocks are the only kind ot property that is always saleable, because they will-sell anywhere in the world. “ How. Mr. Smith, this is why I put my little savings in Governmen t stocks. I confess, too, that I wanted to help that dear old country, which is my home and my country.” “ I confess,” said Mr. Smith, “I hadn’t thought of all this. There is a good deal of sense in what you say, and I will go so far as to put two or three thousand dollars in United States stocks. It can do no harm.” We left Mr. Smith going towards the bank, and Poor Richard returning hpme, with that calm and pleasant air which indicated the-screnity of his disposition and the consciousness of doing right towards his country and bis fellow man. f pedal §oiittg. Gentlemen Having had frequent occasion to use PERRY DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER SOB COUO.IK BOM s, and seeing it used by others, I can say that I regard it as the best preparation extant, when tried in time, or in the flrst stages of that very prevalent complaint.
