advance in PRICES.
I eow is the announcement of an advance
of prices of 50 cents or from 20 to 25 'per
cent on the present subscription price of our
paper. 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 - - -

months - ■ - - - . - -.- - - -
Tlie same liberal premiums for new sub
scribers will be given as: heretofore—so cts.,
for a single subscriber and $1 00 each for
three or more. (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. Bvo.,
price $6. This great work is now in the third
edition, and would prove a most welcome
addition to a minister’s library.
CONVBEARE AND HOWSON’S PAUL.
For five new subscribers and $12,50. in ad
vance we wjll send, post paid, a copy of this
standard popular ' work, indispensable to
every student of the life and epistles of the
great apostle.
JOHN BUSS AND HIS TIMES,
We are still sending this great work, writ
ten in the fresh graphic style of Mr. Gilletfc
in response to orders from those procuring
new subscribers, and have more copies to be
disposed of in the same way. 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.

“ 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.

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.

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.
