JjlisttUmra?. SUNDAY SCHOOL PROFBSSORSHIP IN MARY VILLE COLLEGE, EAST TENNESSEE, Tli is College, located at Maryville, Bixteen miles by mil south of Knoxville, has for forty years been a blessing to all Bast Tennessee. The en dowment of four Professorships is needed to place die Institution on a permanent basis; a New Eng land Professorship, a New York Professorship, a Pennsylvania Professorship, and a. Sunday-School Professorship. More than half of the iamount necessary to complete the New England Profes sorship has been raised,‘hnd the balanee'it'is hoped will be procured by the first of January next. _ • _ . . Meanwhile many friends pf this movement have urged the endowment of a Professorship through the Sabbath Schools, believing that a hundred Sunday Schools can be found that will cheerfully appropriate $250 ‘each, to secure it. Some are dding nobly for Home Missions, and other benevolent enterprises. Over forty of these have intimated a willingness to co-operate dn this! first effort of the kind in the. world to found a Sunday School Professorship: in a : Christian Col lege. _ - • •• - Nearly thirty of our pulpits are vaeaut, and our Sunday Schools need the 'invigorating iriflu encc of a settled minister to jinnke.'them efficient. Since the College resnmedoperations, twelve can didates for the ministry have reported themselves in various stages of preparation, indicating.clearly that God is with us. Will-not ptistors and super intendents who may read this appeal, lay the matier before the Teachers of their Sunday Schools, at as early a day as practicable,‘and no tify me on their action!' ; Not;a dollar that they contribute will be. laid oat for brick and mortar, but all be sacredly invested in. Government secu rities, and the,interest, alone, .employed in' sus taining a Christian professor. It kill tike until next January to obtfiin the number'pf schools re quired to go into this agreement, so that arrange ments for the .present,year neednot.be disturbed; but in December, should the Requisite .number then be had; a .circular’will- be sent -with the names, to each of the Sabbarh Schodls interested, and the Whole Professorship 1 will be secured by a simultaneous movement early next year. One Sabbath School in New Yort Cityhas;al ready agreed to contribute $500: towards this ob ject. in most oases, $250 will probably be given in one year, but where it is preferred,-two years will be allowed for the payment, in order that there may be no reasonable doubt as to the Suc cess of the endowment. Quarterly Missionary letters about the. Sunday School work in East Tennessee, will be written to each Sabbath School that enters into this.agree ment, and ultimately a beautiful Certificate sur mounted with a picture of'Oollege Buildings and grounds be forwarded to them. Many of our Sabbath Schools ape aiding in the Christian education of heathen children in Per sia, China, and India;..and .is not the call legiti mate to found a Sunday School Professorship, Whose influence shall be felt for many generations in Christianizing our own people! To Presbyterians this call is special. We have one whole Synod, embracing fifty-five loyal churches that have suffered terribly ,by the war, arid Maryville College is the only institution to wliioh we can turn with - any reasonable hope for ministers to supply our destitution. Will not our brethren do what they can to help us in this great work committed to us? . If we are sustained, our church, with the blessing of God, will expand rapidly towards the Gulf of. Mexico. One mau has given $5OOO, and another $4OOO towards the general endowment. Printed forms of the subscription will be’found in this office, which inay be‘filled up and returned to Rev. Samuel Sawyer, Agent Maryville College, East Tennessee, care Rev., if. Kendall, D.D., 150 Nassau Street, New York. TOWER or THE CHURCH TO EVANGELIZE THE WORLD TO-DAY. In connection with those facts it should be also kept in mind, that the spiritual Church of Christ now holds a trust of wealth and power which is more adequate to such a work than at any time before. It is a simple matter of statistics, that there has been no retrogression in the resources of the Church since the enterprise was first inaugurated. The increase .of her member ship, including all evangelical denominations in the estimate, has more than kept pace with the increase of population in the na tion at large. It is computed that no less than six million, or 18 per cent.,. of our peo ple are, by profession, consecrated to the service of Christ; and in all the qualifica tions essential to the energetic prosecution of the work of missions, there has been un doubted progress. The wealth of the land is largely iu the bauds of Christians. The influence of the Church is felt iu all the pub lic and social enterprises of life. The great Christian ideas of Law and Liberty, have been more and more deeply inwrought into the frame work of our institutions; and the Church, as a whole, islmore deeply conscious of her , resppnsibiiity for the discharge of her manifold trusts than ever before. What ever may be. affirmocUiof the deficiency of u true, unreserved consecration to the inter ests of Christ’s kingdom at home and abroad, it must, at least, u’e" acknowledged that in all that pertains to the possession of power for aggressive effort, the Church of Christ stands now in a better position for great attempts and great achievements than at any time in her previous history. Wow, with these facts before ns, the world's accessibility, the progress which the work has already made, and the increasing power, wealth and influence of the Church of Christ, we may ventui’e to answer the question inpvhioh this discussion culminates: “Is the Church able, in the present genera tion, to make the gospel known to the whole world, according to her Lord’s command ?” Assuming that the unevangelized popula tions of the globe amount to one thousand millions, and that access to these should continue to open for the next twenty years, as rapidly as has been the ease daring the samo time in the past, what amount of THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1867. Christian effort would be needed to bring them all tinder the enlightening influence of the gospel ? If we concede that the ef forts of a single missionary would suffice in twenty years to hear the glad tidings to ten thousand souls, which is certainly a mode rate estimate of labor, it would need only the sending forth of one hundred thousand to reach the .populations of the globe.; -and if we allow an annual expense of $5OO to each one of these missionaries, it would re quire only the sum of $50,000,000 every year. That is to say, an offering in men equal to the patriotic army which marched with General Sherman from Atlanta to the sea, and an offering in money-equal to one quarter the interest of our national debt, would suffice to do the work. Is this -esti mate/me- which reaches' beyond the power ■of the 'evangelical Christians of America? Leaving out of rietv the. efforts and re sources pf,the Church in other lands; is there lack of ability among us, in this land, to accomplish as much as this for Christ? Why, ttis only that oneeut of sixty of Christ’s pro fessed diseiplei be dbVoted to this' work : . It isonly thtitatitbo ofthb superfl.housPx'pehdi • thres of the Church off God should 'be capt into the treasury pf Missions. Will any vsfarm Christian heart caU in-question the •claim of the Dord Jeßus to so much ol effort ■and money from bis ransomed 'Church for •such an'end, the very ‘ehd for ‘Wbitih- the ‘Church is organized and set among the na- ! tions?. Or pan any ope question that if the work’were,op ce.undertaken, upqn such .a a scale, it would be speedily ~ accomplished ? Have we>not been taught, .by ouri-national experience, the amazing power which' lies 'Undeveloped’in a nation like our own, until some great emergency arises, ahd a deep enthusiasm stirs the.souls of mgri to attempt achievements,,,whibh wer.e utterly, impossi ble without such devotion’?. And is it .ex travagant to entertain the thought that a devotion to the cause ■ of Christ like that which’saved the nation from the power of the destroyer, would be spSedily rewarded with successes which wo’uld.bring the latter day of glory upon the earth ? It is, then, the solemn thrillingtruth that the Church of Christ,,in the. present gene ration, has the power to impart the gospel of salvation to the world. There are means enough and men,enough at, her Command ; all that is really, needed is the burning heart, the earnest will, the obedient trust in God.— Rev. B. R. Booth, D. D. BELSHAZZAR IS TARS. If wo may trust the glowing account that has been brought to us by the cablp, of the ceremony at'thti distribution of prizes at the Paris Exposition by the French Emper or—rfew more splendid .pageants can have been witnessed by the -present generation. Seventy-one thousand people assembled in the great central hall of'the building, crowd ed every passage of approach, and loaded every balcony, and the surge of an ocean of outsiders beat for long hours against., the walls of the Imperial Gasometer. When the magnificent procession, with :its, high Btepping horses, its gilded carnages, its mounted soldiery, its Generals in uniform, its ladies arrayed like the lilies of the field, and Solomon to boot, its princes and poten tates, had reached the Hall of Ceremony, it would seem that everything this, earth has of luxury and grandeur was centered, in that single spot. High on a throne of royal state, which far outshone the wealth of Ofi mus or of Ind, the Emperor exalted sat. On one side was’the Empressiu white satin and silver lace, with pearls and diamonds about her throat, and one great gem that told her beats of heart.in flashes, of an imperial ray. On the other sat Haroun aF Raschid, or what is loft of him, and about the skirts of these three lights Of' empire there gathered a 'crowd' of princes, princelings, nobles, dig nitaries, statesmen, officials, lackoys, and so oh, till, at a vast remove, one began to feel the existence of the swarming people of Paris and the world. And while the eye took in this manifold spectacle, there bul-st into sound the hitherto dumb, expectant in-, strunients of the band of twelve hundred musicians; a wonderful embi;oidery of flute, and violin, and harp, and trumpet, on a back-ground of rolling organ harmony, fringed with the jangling music of joy-bells. Then, whon silence fell again-, the Emperor Btood up in his'high place, and made a speech, so pure, and good, and wise, that one marvels as he reads it whether the old legends may not be true that tell how a man’s own spirit was sometimes rapt out of his body, for a season, while an angel or a demon took the vacant place and blessed or cursed out of the unaccustomed lips. One curious incident that occurred just at this moment the cable, doubtless for fear of injuring the harmony of the narrative, omits to mention. When Mr. Hughes, the inven tor of the Printing Telegraph, was called up to receive his prize, the Emperor took his hand, making him an exception to all the other recipients of medals. Mr. Hughes, as he touched the Imperial finger, slipped into the august pahu. of his serene Highness a little bit of paper containing the last mes sage received by the cable and printed by the machine for which he was just being de corated. It contained these words : “Maxi “ milian is shot. His last, words were, ‘Poor “ Carlotta! ’ His Royal Serenity read the telegram, and immediately gave evidence of a fearful agitation. His cheek blanched, his hands trembled, and the diamonds on the Imperial garter quivered so in the sunlight that a shout arose from the admiring multi tude. What the Emperor thought is, of course, not to be exactly known. But we may conjecture that be heard over all the shouts and music, above the booming of guns and the salvos of artillery, the single shot that was death to his insane ambition as to his deluded dupe, the single cry as of a wo man—young, beautiful, and good—answer ing to the last-cry .of her young,husband— “Poor Garlotta!” ‘.‘Poor Maximilian!" ' Where, in all Ithis tumult of rejoicing, this whirl of splendor, this pomp off luxury were the victims of his crafty and wicked lust of power ? For the rest of his life be drags the bodies of these dead about with him. Wherever he goes, that pale face shall look at him as from out the cell where, in madness and ritterest desolation, she is to drag out fhe remnant of life. When .he looks into the face, still comely, of .tha,t wife of his he shall see, not her eyes, bu,t another's, full of reproach too .bitter and -too Bilent to bear. He. shall live.; hut, hard heart; dull conscience,low mind-that he has—'-the heart shall feel, and‘the. conscience shall prick, and the mind shall know that these victims are’with him’to tlfe end. That shpt'hq shall forever hear, and that cry. His judgment day is come, and all the pomp and splendor that he can gather about him shalLmot avail to hidejhinr from ’himself. — N. ‘Y.

SHEEP SHEARING BY MACHINERY. . . We have long been of the opinion ithat no machine would ever be invented that would take the,place of the old-fashioned and time honored sheep shears. This opinion, We be lieve, is generally entertained at the present time. Such is the nature of the work to be done, such the irregularities, such the, mova ble, and. pioving condition ,of the surface of a sheep’s body, that the, idea ,of taking the fleece from it by: a machine has been re garded as entirely impracticable. Of late, however, we have been obliged to modify this opinion very much. Mr. R. T. Smith, of Nashua, N. H., has invented and patented,a machine to which we have given two trials the present season, and have never been more pleasantly disappointed in the working of tiny labor-saving machine we have ever seen. The machine is riot yet perfected, it isjust where the mowing machine was when it was first tried; but we are confident—as were many intelligent and competentjudges who witnessed its operations—that Mr. Smith has'got hold of the right principle, and that ultimately he will make a complete success of his enterprise. , You can shear as closely as. you please—so closely as to give the skin a reddened look, or you can leave the “ stubble ” of- any desired length: Not only will it shear more closely than: shears, but in a practised hand it will do it more evenly. It does not cut the sheep as. badly as men generally cut them with shears. We saw it take the .wool from the neck of as rinkly a buck as-is generally found in aDy flock of Merinos, making hardly a scratch. W e predict for it perfect success. The old shears may now be hung up along side of the old scythes, except they may be needed for “ tagging” and to clip out round the buck’s horns. Go and see it all who can- The thing itself will pay any one lor a con. siderable amount of trouble, to say nothing of the work it does. It is amorig the won ders of modern inventions. —Mirror and Far mer.. HOW TO JUDGE THE CHARACTER OF A' HORSE BY OUTWARD APPEARANCES. C. L. Thayer says -I offer the following suggestions as the result of my close obser vation and long experience. If the color be light sorrel or chestnut, his feet, legs, and face white —these are marks of kindness. If he is broad and full between the eyes, he maybe depended on as a horse of good sense, and capable of being trained to any thing; as respects such horses, the more kindly you treat them, the better you will be treated in return. Won will a horse of this description stand a whip if well fed. If you want a safe horse, avoid one that is dish faced. He may" be so far gentle as not to scare, but he will have too much go -ahead in him to be safe with everybody. If you want a foolj but a horse of great bottom, get a deep bay without a white hair about him. , If his face is a little dished so much the;/worse. Let no man ride such a horse that is not an expert rider; they are always tricky and unsafe. If you want one that will' never give out, never buy a large over grown one. A black horse cannot stand heat, nor a white one cold. If you want a gentle horse, get one with more or less white about thb head, the more the better. Selec tions thus made are of great docility and gentleness. { ; . ! Moffat's Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters.
