rich influence or connections, and withilmit
per sonally asking any one for a shilling,

(pro posed to be increased to 2000,) and do

these contributions should come to hint,

Tile revival among 'the orphans,, already,
referred to in our coluffms,,commeneed,
the following manner :—.-It happened
toward the end of last yeah, one of ',he
orphans, Emma Bunn; more than seventeen
fears old, was seized with hoPelees con
sumption. She. had been fourteen yeargib
the asylum, but' hhowed the most am
pleP unconcern 'about the things of God.
arious persons spoke to her, and niuch
prayer was made in her behalf; 'but her
case became more and more discouraging:
She remained, to all appearance; 41.4; state,
of indifference until
was
before her
death, when she was enabled to put t her,
trust in the Lord Jesus fbr the 'salvation 'of
her soul.' She now became very . 'hippy in
the Lord, exhibiting at' the same lime. 'a
deep sense of sin and great , self-loathing:
Now, too, she manifested mucli concern
about the salvation of her young friends
and companions, and sent several messages
to them from her dying bed, • entreating
them to seek the Lord. The result is thus
related by Mr. Mueller :----" Her thought
,
lessuess and carelessness regarding the
thimrs of God had been well known among
the orphans, and her conversion and heinies-'
sages were now used by the Lord as the
instrument of the most extensive and glori
ous work of the Spirit of God that we ever'
have bad among the children during the
cheio time that the orphan work has been
in existence. I write after the lapse of
fire weeks, reckoning from the death of
Emma Bunn, and about 350 orphans in the
New Orphan House No. 3 alone, have
since then been led to seek the Lord, and
the greater part of them have found peace
for their souls through faith in the Lord
Jesus. These dear children, formerly
almost all careless and indifferent, and
most of them much like what Emma Bunn
had been, have their prayer-meetings among
themselves as often as they can, and in
other ways give joy to our hearts.",
Apart from the orphan houses, the insti
tution supports or assists fourteen . day
schools and five Sunday-schools. It has
also circulated, gratuitously or otherwise,
upward of 4000 Bibles and Testaments
during the year, besides other portions df
the Scriptures, and nearly two 'millions of
tracts and other books, of which 1,695,415
were given away gratuitously. Work is
a very important feature of the institution.
The sum of £4225 12s. 2d. was expended
for this object during the past year, chiefly
its grants of money to 125 laborers in the
Gospel at home and abroad. The grants
vary in amount from £5 to £135, the
higher sums being given to those engaged
in the foreign mission field. Seven laborers
in British Guiana have been assisted, six
is China, three in Penang, six— in India,
two in , the United States, two in Nova
Scotia, two in Canada, two in Spain, two
in Prance, one in Belgium, one in Switzer
land, ten in Italy, three in Ireland, one in
Scotland, and the remainder in .different
parts of England.
Two new orphan houses are reported.
The cost of both (exclusive 'of furniture
and fittings) will be L 41,147, about £BOOO
more than was anticipated, the cost of
building material and labor having risen
during the last few years. The building
fund at present amounts to only £34,000,
and therefore the contract has been signed
for one house only, with an agreement that
Air. Mueller may, if ho pleasesoceept thd
tender for the fifth house on or before
Jan. 1, 1867. , If, therefore, the remain
ing £7OOO be sent in before that date, the
remaining house will be at once proceeded
With. When these two houses are com-.
pleted, accommodation will be afforded for
2 000 orphans.
THE AMERICAN UNION COMMISSION,
The following extracts, taken from a
letter written by an estimable lady‘of. our
Own State, now serving the American
tnion Commission of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, in Georgia, will be read With,
interest, and lead many benevolent hearts
to contribute freely to the good work in
Which they are engaged, in providing ‘ for
the impoverished women and childre-of
the South, and especially for the wi d iip

nation against the assaults of its enemies : 7
ATLANTA, GA., October 6th, 1866.
Since the school-houses 'built by the
Commission have been completed and;
thoroughly furnished with desks, books:,
maps, and every appliance, our teachers''
have collected around them five hundred
poor dependent children, taken from the
tents, shanties and alleys of this desolate
city. This is following out the injunction
of our blessed Saviour, to care for thalittle'
ones. How tender ..was His solicitude for
them when upon earth, and how honorable ,
their distinction when he' made Them
emblems of the redeemed in glory
The majority of these children were de-,
prived by the war of their nattiral protect
ors, and 'are now dependerie.on the charity'
of others. I wish ":yeti Could hear, as we'

If the citizens` of _Pennsylvania and Nevi

year longer, the city might, probably % be
able to. take care , of , the schools, but this
coming year, we who are here see and.
know that they cannot do it. At present,
the people are taxed to the utmost, and
still more is needed to buy,; bread for hun
dreds of destitpte women and children.
The unprecedented drought of the past
season makes provisions scarce 'and high
priced, and consequently a heavy tax is re
quired to give each family bread.
I am happy' to inform you that our
scholars are almost entirely the children of
parents who opposed the war. I• might fill,
sheets in describing every day incidents
and scenes of sorrow and destitution, that
perhaps would seem almost inciedihle, but
that I have made, my letter so long,already.

TOTTERING . THRONES.
There are . strong indications that the
thrones of Europe are wearing out, and
while the instability , of 'democratic institu
tions has been the theme of the aristocratic
powers for the past,few years, the, utter in
stability of crowns and thrones may. >well
excite our wonder now. Eighteen years
ago revolutions shook 4tearly all• king
eoms of Europe. Then Fiance 'in 'reality
seized Rome. Then Russia, having saved
the Emperor of Austria, would have seized
the Principalities, but that France and
England made war, attacked the Crimea,
broke the heart of . the proud Emperor
Nicholas, who' died, and left his son to
make the best terms le could. Since then
there has hardly been a §afe 'place for a
single erowned head in Europe. Austria, the
power of whose Emperors has been grow
ing by accessions of territory for a thou
sand years, was terribly threshed by Napo
leon, while King Bomba of , Naples was
utterly extinguished by the Italians. Indeed,
it is hard to tell where matters.would have
stopped,. if Louis. Napoleon, had not,toeponie,
as it is said, seriously frightened at the
battle of Solferino,.and determiued to make
peace 'on `any tends. Then came Napole
on's attempt toestablish' an • empire in
Mexico, with a failure' so manifest as to
make the whole thing as ridiculous as that
of Solouque in Hayti: The real old rm
tiv.e stock of kings was put to'grief in Den
mark.. -
Now the turn of Austrian humiliation
has again come, until, Francis Joseph has
been saluted in the streets with 41emaads
for his abdication of the worn-out, shattered
throne he occupies. As for the lesser
thrones of Germany, the:King of Hanover
is to be just so much of 'a king as Pruasia
allows; and no more ; in faCt; not a sovereign
at ail, ;really—his wife ' being advised to
depart. About the same is the 'case with the
King of Saxony. As the King of Hanover
refuses to >surrender some million, and a
half of,the State treasures that were slipped
off to England, he is to have the payment

VESUVIUS—THE ERUPTION OF .1861.
,The eruption.,'of 1861,W the la of any
importance from Vesuvius, , is particularly
interestingfrom`the ;position of the Seat,of
eruption, 'and -thp circumstances attending
`the phenomenon. Unlike the casb . of 1855,
previously 'to which -there ',had bePn Un-
Usual period et, repose, on this occasion
period ot. repose,
•(between :1855 and ,1860) the mountain
, had been constantly uneasy; and occasion;
ally active, and had even thrown out seve-:
'ral important currents of lava. These
vents, however, load ClbSed, and everything
was quiet in the month - of March, 1860.
On the 7th ofrDeeember in the . following'
year,.very f clear indications of- coining dis
turbance were felt on ~the side the moun-,
thin,, between ,the, principal crater . and.
Torre del Greco. About 3. P. M., on the,
Bth; at a distance of about 40,00 yards (two
and onethird noiles) nearly S. NIT. from the
centre cif tlie 'great crater, and' nearly the
same distance froni the' Sea, at an elevation`
of about 950 feet abOve the sea, there rose'
a large column of thick smoke, s.ccoMpan•
ied by an enorreous,qua,ntity of 'very 'fine ,
ashes. . It would• seem probable that; at
this moment, a broa.d and open fissure *as
formed; extending toward the west r and
nearly three-quarters of a mile in length,
from several, points :of, which 'eruptions.
took place. I was informed by my guide,
whO had been present (and the statement
mas confirmed by other eyewitnesses), that
only fine ashes erupted from the'part of the
fissure nearest the - crater, asheSlnd
small stones were ejectedin'werdown, larger
red-hot . lumps ! of scoria ; and blocks ofistorm
belqw that, and, toward 5 P. M., a flow of
lava from the 4ower extremity.. The lava
-was unusually fluid,l6a:ded With crystals of
pyroxene, and of peculiar texture.
heeded rapidly toward Torre del Greco,,and,
'at 11 P:`M had'reaChed'Within about 1000'
yards of the houses. It 'there‘'topped.
The eruption of ashes, however, cOrktinued,
and was very copious, being, conveyed to a
great distance. The first dust was accom ,
parried by stones thrown into the air to a
hei,ght estimated at.more than 800 feet.
The crevice formed on the first eruption
was followed by others the next day, ex
tending toward the sea, and greatly alarm
ing the inhabitants of, the, town of. Torre
del Greco. On the 10th , the' water ,flow-',
lag from the. public fountains and other
siftings was suddenly -increased in quan
tity; this increase , being 'accompanied .by
the emission of large quantities of carbonic,
acid gas, and even, as I' was Inforthed, of,
carburetted . hydrogen, with 'small "quanti
ties;of petroleum. Large quantities of gas
rose from the sea. The springs remained,
affected•fer some time, but the new cones
and craters soon ceased to • exhibit'any , ac
tivity, and the main disturbance was at an
end in eight days from its first commence
ment. Electrical phenomena accompanied
the commencement of the ,eruption, but
they affected only the principal crater.
They are described as consisting of flashes
of forked, blue lightning, different from
ordinary lightning, and confined to the
summit of the crater. Shortly after the
eruption, the ground was cracked, and
many deep 'fissures were produced in .the
town of Torre del G-ITOO, reaching down to
the sea, and, rendering the town almost'
uninhabitable. .
The craters of 1861. are nearly in a line,
and succeed one another,it short intervals;
commencing on
.the lower slopes of the
mountain: The uppermost presents well
stratified walls of tuff' probably those of
the 'fissure: It is oval, and greatly' de
pressed. There are remains of a small vent
at the point nearest the cone °of° Vesavins.
It is mach higher on the part, toward the
mountain than on the side near the sea,
and is only separated from a smaller round
crater adjoining fit by a. narrow ridge.. It
is partly filled with ashes, of extreme fme
nen. Beyond the first and: second crater
is the third, which erupted somewhat later,
but in the same way. There are no true
cones of eruption, though there is a sloping
heap of ash roundboth craters They all
exhibit more of the fissure tha'n is usual,
and are thus rather peculiar. °' The fourth
(next in order toward Torre del Greco)
was remarkable for its large eruption of
stones which are distributed over the
ground adjacenttln- enornitnis ' quantity,
I mingled with ashes. '..Much mischief was
done, as the country was , cultivated and 'in ;
habited ; one house being within a hun
dred yards:of the fissure:
There instill tuna chemical action going
on in a part of this crater, and a considera
ble emission Of sulphurous gases'has taken
place froin it; but I. could not discover any
fumaroles in action at the time of my visit.
The ,remaining three of the , craters seem'
never to have. attained any largc, size, al
',though the chief erupted matter,proceeded,
from the fifth and : sixth.: These are lower
down the
,il i ope,:arid;are now ,almost de•-
stroyed, L heing recognized, quite : as much by
'the desolation around as by. their -fcirm.l
'The dava currents and , the .blecks 'Of
thrown out by the craters were all of the
same kind, darker 'in color than usual, and
somewhat blue, resembling the lavas , of
.1855. Slight shqoki,of earthquakes were
recorded atthe mountain Observatory from
the 7th of December,to the. 29th =of Jann
:ary, and ~ more, considerable shocks' took
place about the time of the eruption 'and
tor a month afterward: Reify rain fell
the day before the eruption. The appear
ance of the eruption,ll,its first commence
ment: was unusually grand, "but it lasted a
very short:tinie.'' Oh the whole, there are,
few instances on record in whielithe
arrangement of the -craters.and the direc
tion of the,fisuresi found / in the adjamentt
country and indicated, by . nutburst, of water
and gas, afford more, striking indications : of

bad in t e metropolis is'far worse, if possi
hie, in many'manufacturing , towns of the
country. With us the evil is now caused
in great measure by the imperfect combus 7
dot of a very large quantity of coal in our
.domeatie fires, as, with few, exceptiOns, the
nuisanee formerly occasioned by furnace
chimneys has been greatly abated. But in
the country, as Sir Robert Peel stated re
cently in the House of Commons, it , is far
otherwise. There factories are permitted
tO vomit 'forth tOrrenta of black smoke with
impunity,' although;; as Sul Geerge' Grey re
marked, ample powers exist for the suppres
sion of „this great evil, if .only his favorite
"local authorities" could be prevailed upon
to put the law in force. Who are these
ii local 4uthorities" of whom' we have of
date heard, so much in Parliament'? Why,
dotbtlega, in many cases, the very men Who
create 'the abomination. Mr. Henley, the
venerable member fprOxfordshire advised
that heavy penalties should be inflicted for
a breach of the la* in this resPece, and
that half should go to the informer. This
is good' sound sense.. Another suggestion
has been made that the FactorY Inspectors
might with advantage be directed to take
this matter in hand, and we are disposed to
think this ,stggestionseasonable. At any
rate, your " local authorities," who produce
the smoke, can hardly be expected to pro
'ceed against themselves; and as they are
often omnipotent in their locality; the suf
