While the grossest forms of rationalism
are held • and prOclaimed with impunity in
the pulpits of the National church, it is
also matter of thankfulness that signs of
spiritual life are not utterly absent from
.the
churches. Such are the constant increa ein
the,number of believing pastors and church
members, and the powerful evangelical re
adtion going on in the towns and villages.
Another is the immense attendance at the
second celebration of the great evangelical
national missionary festival, which was held
the 14th of last July, and attended.by nearly
fifteen thousand visitors. A great blessing
accompanied the ex , rcises. All really Chris
tian sometiesreceive the powerful supportof the
people. The missionary societies of Utrecht
received contributions last year from 220
churches. The new Rotterdam Society from
208 churches. The Society for the Jews has
37 auxiliary societies. 'The Christian Na
tional Education Society received within a
fraction of forty thousand florins annual in

The Evangelical Lutheran Church has
been seeking a better form of government
at the hands of the civil authorities. The
principal objects sought are a fuller par
ticipation of the congregation, by representa
tives of their own choice, in the church goy
erntneht, and the representation of the entire
national church by means of Synods. The
project of a form of government embracing
these points has been drawn up and is under
consideration, though the Diet in a nine
months' session could not find time to dis
pose of it finally. It will come up at the
next session.
ITALY
A Journal of Palermo asserts that is is
proposed to confiscate at once thirty churches
belonging to various orders of monks, with
their landed estates, for the purpose of es
tablishing common schools in Sicily. Monks
have been expelled from their cloisters in
Florence, in Cremona for participating in
.reactionary measure&. The Prior
.of the Ca
,puohins in Bologna fled, to escape the police
sent to search the establishment. The clergy
of the Kingdom of Italy, by an act of the Bth
of July, are no longer exempt from military
duty.

• Baptists in Germany. —The Baptist Ttact
Society of Hamburg has issued its twelfth
annual statement, up to April, 1864. The
Society has been especially active in the
late war , upon Denmark, having distributed
among the allied troops and the captive
Danes 123,675 tracts, which were almost in
variably well recciived: Officers in the'army
rendered cheerful assistance in the distribu
tion. In spite of the unfavorable aspect of
affairs, in Poland and Russia the work is
extending. Hitherto, 130,000
• tracts have
been distributed in those countries. A ser
mon on the text, " We preach Christ cruci
fied," by one of their preachers, Joseph
Lehmann, has been publisheiLat Hamburg,
and is favorably spoken of, as an exposition
of Baptist teaching. If the prette,her had
used the passage in the context, 1 Cor. i. 17,
as elucidating Baptist practice, he doubtless
would have been greatly aided in -removing
_
any :suspicion of narrowness and exclusive
ness, which otherwise might attach to the
proceedings of the •missionaries. We hear
tily wish success to all attempts .to preach
the simple gospel of Paul and of Jesus
Christ to the worse than Corinthian opposers
of Hamburg end of the cities of modern
Germany.
The Lutherans of Prussia who refused to
join the Evangelical Chui&,*fitormed of' the
united Lutheran and Reformed Churches,
are a considerable body, called by the Evan
gelicals "separated." . In Pomerania a wide-.
spread dissension has broken out among
them, the nature of which we cannot learn.
A pastor, Diedrich, has disagreed with the
church authority at .Breslau, and sides are
taken all through the country. A single
congregation, three thousand strong., has left
the Breslau Conference with its pastor, and
being deprived " their house of worship by
ts mere handful ; Lle minority, is at work
erecting a new one without delay. Tire di
vision is spreading beyond Ponierania. The
Breslau authorities are suspending . malcontents
from the ministry, and thus expect to retain a
majority of their friends in the General Sy
nod. Two pastors within the circle of the dis
sension have left the Lutheran for the, Evan
gelical church, an indication, says the NEv.
Kirehenzeitunq, to what result these separa
tions in the Separation will lead. A periodical
in the interest of the movement, called
Immanuel has been started.
Rouge's Society of Reformers in Frank
fort have taken the side of the notorious Dr.
Schenkel, against the Protestant clergy of

manded •the removal of Dr. S. from the fac
ulty of the Protestant Seminary.
FRANCE.
The Tahitians in Paris. —Seven young Ta
hitians, including the son of Queen Pomare,
,come not long ago to Paris, to receive a Eu
ropean education. They were all placed in a
Catholie inStitUtien. One of them, a Protes
tant, died soon after their arrival. Of the
remaining six, four, including the Queen's
son, wotie discovered to be:Protestants. The
government allowed the other three to enter
a Protestant seminary, at Nerac, in the
south of France, but the Queen's will • not
being known in regard to her son, he was
still retained in a Catholic institution. •Yet
Pomare had written specially to - pastor.
Grandpierre, . in Paris, to Visit: her•. ,'son as
often as possible, to watch over. - hia.studies,
and report his progress to her. Grandpierre.
felt it his duty to answer, jam:Mine - her of
the impossibility of executing her commis
sion. Last September he received her
reply, dated Papete, ..May 0, 1864, in the
following terms :
"I havq, received your letter, infbrming
me tbatthe door of the institution in which
my son is placed is shut against you. Up on
mature consideration, I have deaided it - to be
better to leave my son there for the moment,
a.s.he will very probably soon • return to - TEk
hiti, and because the measures which you
suggest for his removal might be attended
with unpleasant consequences to you and to
him. - I have frequently written to my son,
earnestly charging him to remain true to the
religion *Mott we ourselves profess, and to
beware of the wiles of the Catholics, confin
ing his attention rather to those sciences
which may be. of use to him in this -life. I
cease not to pray God. to • eep my beloved
son f'aithful to our holy religion. I am re
joii-ed to learn that three of his fellow-travel
lers have been placed under your care. I
greet you in the name of the trite God.—
QUEEN POMAR,E."
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, TITURSI)AY, FEBRUARY 23 1865.
Doubtless it would have been better and
more consistent for the Queen to have insis
ted upon her son's removal from circumstan
ces so unfriendly to his faith, lest the bad
seed sown in his heart might spring.up' and
bear evil fruit, inflicting upon her country
far more " unpleasant consequences" than
those referred to in her letter.
Martin Paschmai, pastor of the National
Reformed Church at. Paris, retains his
•_posi
tion in spite of. his entire sympathy with the
radical and violent rationalists who form a
minority of the congregation. On the occa
sion of the• exclusion of the radical Reville
from the pulpit, by the orthodox majority,
Paschoud's temper seemed quite to get the
better of him. Ascending the pulpit, he
fbrgot that his business was to edify and in
siruct the waiting people, and proceeded, on
the contrary, to denounce "the impatience
that had robbed the people of the eloquent
discourse of Pastor Reville." " Thus," he
continued, "orthodoxy, in its dying stages,
incapable of refuting its opponents, takes re
fuge in denying them a hearing. Truly,
much the simpler method ; but it is not to
the a hero's death bravely fighting, but to
'commit suicide like a coward." Upon this,
an orthbdox preacher, who was in the house,
arose andleft the church, to show his disap
proval of language so reckless, and so unwor
thy of the place. Meanwhile, it is this very
Martin Paschoud • who presided at the Re
formed Council at Lyons, a number of years
ago,' - Where the most - 'French
preacher of the. century, Adolph Monod,
was not only shut, out from his own, pulpit,
but actually suspended from his °Bee, be
cause he insisted on a stricter discipline in
administering the Lord's supper.
BRAZIL
Brazil.—Not a few Protestant congrega
tions are found in this country, principally
among the German immigration. In a num
ber of instances, and in accordance with a
general law, the Brazilian government itself
provides for the support•of the Pastors of
these congregations. The German Church
in Rio Janeiro originated as early as 1826.
But the first pastor only arrived in 1836.
It has become self-supporting, but it is torn
by divisions, and exerts no evangelical influence
over the 2,500 to 3,000 Germans of the city,
or upon the community at large. - The Ra
tionalist element is very strong. The apos
tasy of Schenkel is received as the dawn of a
new era by these German emigrants, who are
even more enlightened " than their Euro
pean contemporaries. There are two other
German Evangelical churcheS in the province,
in New Freiburg and Petropolis. Forty
years ago, a pastor and his entire flock emi
grated from the banks of the Rhine to New
_Freiburg, and there they are yet!
At Petropolis, a Basle missionary, Strole,
is laboring. The Swedish ambassador, Von
Tschudi, succeeded in enlisting the Basle mis
sion in this work. Five of the graduates are
now in Brazil. Strole is paid by the Emperor
for his extra work in an outlying colony.
The Emperor aids colonies, but not the set
tlements which have risen to an independent
municipal status. Petropolis pays Strole for
his work there. '
Five other German churches are found in
the provinces of Espirito Santo and IVlenas
Geroes, at Sta. Isabel, Sta Leopdoldina, Rio
Novo and Philadelphia, and in a settlethent
of Hollanders who have a German preadlier.
Three of these enjoy the imperial patrons e.
A Basle missionary is at Rib Nova,. In
Philadelphia affairs have been at a low ebb,
and the presence of an Evangelical' pa'Sfor in
the church, is due to the Brazilian Govern
ment. He is from Basle.
In the Province of Sta, Catharina, there are
four, German Evangelical churches. Two of
the colonies are qute populous, numbering
3,000 and 2,000 souls. Religion is at a low
ebb. DeVoted pastors are much needed here.
In the other two, which are neighboring
colonies, numbering 1100 together, a Basle
missionary is laboring, ' As the moral Condi
tion-of-the old generation 'is deplorable, the
missionary is -strenuously laboring to prOviae
means for training the . young. He has
received from Europe the means necessary
for building a boarding school.
But the best German colony in Brazil is
that of Sao Leopoldo, in the Province of. Rio
Grande - do Sul. A single district of this
colony comprises 62 square miles, and 12,000
inhabitants, called "Hamburger Berg.
Here are three pastors, and a number of
false claimants to ministerial character,
whose professipnal.acts, however, under the.
Brazilian Government, are recognized as
legitimate. Two other colonies are located
in the same province.
Altogether there are sixteen German
preachers (besides those without ordination)
and eighteen churches in Brazil.
SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.
The circumstances attending the tragic
death of the rebel qreneral (Bishop ) , Leon
idaS Polk, finds a singular coincidence in
the fate of Marshal• Moreau, once one of
Napoleon's ablest officers, but a traitor to
his country after the banishment to Elba.
It is said that at, the battle in Which
Leonidas Polk was killed, General Sher
man, espying a group of rebel officers tipim
a neighbouring enimence engaged in scan
ning our lines through their field-glasses,
called an artillery officer, and pointing to
ward this , group, ordered a few shells to be
thrown in. that directibn. In obedience to
this order ,a few projectiles were immedi
ately fired into this group, one of which'
was seen to burst and strike, one of the
number. It subsequently appeared that
Gen. Polk was - the victim to -his own te
merity by venturing within range of your
artillery.
Mareau fell at the battle of Dresden in
August, 181.3,.under peculiar circumstan
ces. He had just returned from the United
States, and, at, the solicitation of the Em
peror, Alexander, consented to take up arms
against his own country. Ney and Murat
bad each gained the rear of the Austrian
column, on both flanks, and, with their
famous cavalry, charged the enemy's line
so successfully as to determine the victory.
About noon on the last day of the fight,
Napoleon noticed a group of officers on an
eminence a half mile distant Supposing
they were watching „his manoeuvres, he
called a captain of artillery, and, pointing
to them, said :
" Throw a dozen bullets in that group—
perhaps there are some little generals iu
it I" ' The officer obeyed, and it was imme
diately seen to produce some agitation.
One of the balls struck Moreau'E,leg, cut
ting it off below the knee, passed through
his horse, and carried away the other leg.
It was not known who was the victim un
til the advance guard, in pursuing the, en
emy, came upon a little spaniel roaming
over the field, moaning piteously for its
master. Around its neck was a collar en=
graved with the words, "1 belono- to Gene
ral Moreau!"
So •perished, tli. - ese two general officers,
under - circiltustances almost parallel—both
in rebellion against their country, and seek
ing its overthrow.—No sh. &Won..

THE GREAT TRANSITION,
O what a contrast does every depa:rting
saint experience as he passes by death from
time to eternity; from this world, with all
its cares and sorrows; to the bliss and glory
of the heavenly inheritance! However
" meetened for their inheritance," however
"wrought for the self-same thing," yet the
.transition from the extreme - of weakness
and suffering, from the overwhelming abase
ment and rending struggle of the mor t al
strife, into the sudden brightness and per
fect rapture of the heavenly vision, and
this, too, in " a moment, in
. the twinkling
Of an eye ;" such a transition it is impossi
ble to describe, for the single step appro
priates heaven, and the single moment com
mences eternity.
"In yain our feeble fancy paints
The moment after . death,
The glory that surrounds the saints
When yielding up theiebreath.
One gentle sigh their fetters breaks;
We scarce can say they're gone,
Before the willing spirit takes
<Her mansion near the throne."
Gaze, on the expiring;the glorified Chris
tian; at one moment seized by death; the
next free from its grasp for ever! At one
,moment filled with the deep consciousness
of imperfection and manifold infirmities,
the next'standing unblamabie and tinrepro
vable in the- sight of God 1 At one mo
ment racked by pain and wasted by dis
ease; the next putting forth' the vigor of
immortal youth! At one moment what all
must pity; the next what all must envy !
At one moment surrounded with tears and
sighs ; the next with smiles and acclama
tions At one moment lamented by mor
tals; the next greeted by angels and the
spirits of just men made perfect ! At one
moment gasping in agony and convulsion;
the next pouring forth the melody of a
ceaseless song !• At one moment the nerve
less, emaciated hand, just raised by its at
tendants; the next waving a: palm of victo
ry and striking a harp of gold ! At one
moment the parched lip gently tounhed
with moisture ; the next drinking of those
rivers of pleasure which flow from the
throne of God and the Lamb ! At one mo
ment the darkened chamber, accommodated
to the fading sense, and concealing the ap
palling form of death ; the next shining
out like a sun in the kingdom of his Fa
ther ! 0 happy and transporting change
for the . holy soul that thus passes from the
gloomy chamber of sickness to the bright
and healthful region,of the paradise above !-
from dying pains to boundless bliss; from
the converse of sinful mortals to the pre
sence of an infinitely gracious and glorious
God; from a contentious and tumultuous
world to endless peace and rest and love !
—Uhristicui Advocate.
COME AWAY.
Therefore, thus saith my soul to her Be
loved, come away, my Beloved, and be as
the roe on -the top of the mountains. My
life is, with thee, my love; appear quickly,
thou who art my life, that I may quickly
appear with thee in the glory and happiness
of a consummate marriage. Make me fair
With thy Spirit,, and put the golden vesture
and the ornaments of thy manifold graces,
upon Me and' spee.dily`into'` the
presence of the great-King. Let the day of
gladness quickly come within both soul and
body, that even my whole self may eter
nally enjoy thee. For thy spirit being now
in both, makes both to thirst for thee; and
my flesh fainteth as well as my soul, and
each panteth after thee.
Neither will they be still put off with
these tastes and earnests; but their love
and longing;is rather inflamed by 'them to
the fruition of thee. The very voice of
these earnests is, "some!" Yea, they
scarce know any other language but " come !"
Therefore, again and— again, they say
"'come !" Yea, after they have said " come,
as if that were not enough, they say, "come
quickly 1"
Now, thou who knowest the meaning of
the Spirit, give' an answer to the speaking
sighs and groans of
.the Spirit! Thou :who
hast inflamed the. heart of thy spouse to
speak unto thee in this silent, yet loud,
language, of ardent desires, speak again to
the heart of thy spouse, and answer the de
sires which thou hast made me to speak
unto thee !
But hearken ! for he speaketh: Those
lips spea-which are full of grace; and such
lips cannot but speak grace and peace to
his spouse, to his beloved. Hearken, there
, 'fere, and hear, what he saith : " behold I
tcome quickly !" Oh, honey and sweetness
itself to the soul that loveth her. Beloved!
He comes quickly! Her consummate mar
riage comes quickly ! Her full joy and
perfect happiness come quickly.
And now, what shall the soul say more
to her Lord? Only,-as'before she still said,
" come," so now will she still say, " Amen,"
and "even so,,come Lord Jesus! Amen,
and Amen !"
For",this marriage doth the Spirit and the
bride say, " come." The Spirit saith it' in
the bride and the bride saith it by the
Spirit. This is the voice of the bride : and
not of her tongue only, but of her spirit;
and not of her spirit only, but of the Spirit
in her ipirit. If, then, thou hast the same
spirit of love, because thou lovest, do thou
also speak and - say, " come Lord Jesus,
come quickly "—Francis Rouq, (171 k CCU
(.21'1.9.)
THE VICARIOUS ATONVENT.
Now look at the imaginary god of . the
Indians, watching with a kind of savage
delight the agonies of - his votaries; and then
look at your Redeemer, bearing away all
.the sufferings to whiCh you were devoted,
and assisting you in the conflict that you have
yet, to undergo! He was verily and indeed
crucified for our sakes, and his body nailed
to the tree; but when he turns to us, he
lays the cross gently upon our shoulders,
and when he commands us to be crucified
with film, he asks for no torments, no blood;
but that we should render' our bodies a
living sacrifice, holy and acceptable, which
is our reasonable `service;" that we ,should
offer them as .temples for his Holy. Spirit,
that we may - glorify him in our bodyand in
our - spirit.— Wolfe.

WINDOW GARDENING. 4t,
It is generally agreed that the presence
of flowers in the "living" room of even the
humblest cottage, is most appropriate and
pleasing; and that they add, in no small
degree, - to the attractions of a home. My
present object, is merely ,to drop a- few
hints in relation to the management of
house plants, hoping thereby to encourage
their still more common cultivation.
Plants, like'human beings, need food, in
order to grow, and acquire vigor; and we
may as reasonably expect to raise healthy
and vigorous humans on quarter rations, as
to raise healthy and vigorous house plants
on a quart or two, of dirt, and an occasional
sprinkling of 'water. I think it is hardly
an exaggeration. to say, that with but few
, exceptions, house. plants seldom receive a
I re-potting in fresh earth, and as seldom re
ceive an application of any sort of a fer
tilizer. They are literally starved, and can
only maintain a sickly existence. The first
hint, then, I would suggest -to those who
have window, plants, is, that they be sure to
kgive them an'annual supply 'of fresh earth.
In the cases of rbses, geraniums, and other
vigorous growers, the earth(or ",compost")
in which they are potted, - should be rich
With fertilizing matter. For such plants,
equal parts 'of old barn-yard or stable
manure, well-iotted sods,
(those from, an old
pasture arethe best), and: Clean sand, well
mixed together, will form an excellent
potting ,compost. lf the compost be pre
pared several months before using, so much
the better. I , have used, with the very
best results, equal parts of thoroughly
rotten stable manure, swamp muck, and
sand. The, manure and muck were both of
the richest quality. Everything seemed to
do " best" in, this compost.
Where it is not convenient to change the
earth at least., once a year, house plants
should receive frequent applications of
liquid manure. A tablespoonful of guano
disolved in a gallon oi'water, or a shovelful
of old stable manure in three gallons of
water, will form of good liquid fertilizer for
hduse plants.. It should be applied about
once a week; in sufficient 'quantities thoro
ughly to pertetrate the earth in the
Illnssuc Ploughman.
- ANNUAL FRIJIT,
S. N. Holmes, of Syracuse, New York,
writes to the - Rizrat PWit; Yorker: —" That a
correspondenta`Yoir valuable paper should
be troubled . : with , abundance of fruit one
year, and none the next, is not so strange,
for such is the ''experience of many, in fact
quite univerSal.
For the, benefit of theinquirer and your
numerous..:readers, I will relate a practical
experiinerit: Some . tithe since, in conver
sation uporilliis-very subject with a learned
jurist, 'and', - -friend of 'Eorticulture, he told
Me that in''Fis fruit 'garden he had three
choice apple tree's in Full bearing, of the
same variety, and that they bore so heavily
he only had fruit on them every other
year. To "remedy thil, so as to have apples
every year;'l , he resorted to horticultural
strategy. fhe next opportunity, when
the trees.werelh — Aill ,blossom, he caused
the blossoMs to be all picked off from one
of the ling WW I '
„etittra'sd''' as a come
qUenKtre'next year - aus - Wee'lcire'full; so
by this remedy he now gets fruit every year.
"The eanse,of not .bearing fruit yearly is
for the reason that the excessive friuitng so
much exhausts the vitality of the tree that
it fails to perfect its fruit buds.
No doubt, taking off one-half the blos
soms of the tree, or of the apples when
small, would t not .only lunch improve the
fruit remaining, but would enable the tree
to perfect its fruit buds for the 'next year."

HOT TO..CATCH CURCULIOS.
Mrs..ll. Wier, of Johnsonville, N. Y., writeF
to'the Ry a( iViw May las)
we had,occasion' to use some lumber. It waF
bkid. &kin in, the vicinity of the plum yard ;
and, on .taking up a ,piece of it one cold
Morning, we discovered'a number of enrol/•
liosAtuddled together on , the under side.
Ori examining other boards we found mbre,
and we continued-to find more or less every
day for two Weeks. We caught in all one
hundred and sixty-one. So I think if peo
ple would take a little pains they might de
stroy a great many such pests. These were.
caught before'the plum .trees were in flower.
What is most singular is, that we never
foUnd a' cumuli° on a piece of old lumber,
although we put several pieces down to try
them. They seemed to come out of the
ground, and we could And them several
times a day by turning over thelmard's."
In relation to the above, the editor of the
Rural says:—" These facts are interesting.
Observers do
"not agree as to whether the
curculio remains in the ground during the
winter - or not. Some
,assert that it lives
above ground somewhere in its perfect state
or form. Any facts relating- to the settle
ment of this question will be interesting."
,EGGS IN WINTER.

the G'ounti y Gentleman, how, he gets, eggs,
in winter, Irom his fowls. He keeps feed

turnips boiled with coarse Indian meal, or
corn- and oats ground together, and fed cold,
