The mountain of the house of Israel is the Amer ican government, in which the Church of Christ is established. The shooting forth of the branch es are the coming forth of the various dobbroina lions. front the kingdoms of lyrany and persecu tion, to the wilderness of America. J “Aodyieldyour fruit to my people of Israel. ” Th* ttflits are the Gospelof the Saviour and the blessipgs of liberty, which are offered to the Jew asweilas the Gentile. ■‘Tor they are at hand to come.'' They were already prepared. The various branches of the Church vyere.-ready to come ; the Hugucuots, rho Puritans, the Baptists, the Quakers, and everv branch of downtrod Christians cattie flocking to America. "Tor behold lam for you,” The king of kings was on theirride. His providence went with them the journey of .thejrjtpil, whether in .subduing the wilderness, resisting the savage, or in facing death on fields Of victory ip the Revolution. ;“'Eb , shall be tilled and sown.” For which America is the first of nations, and when all her arable soil is tilled and-sown, she can bread the world. . “Apd I will multiply men upon you." • So coun try ;oa the earth has multiplied in luntilxr- like -America. The world of nations ftiv iiiniuailv pouring (heir thousands on our shores. “And the house of Israel even all of it." That is, hpth Jew and the Christian shall inhabit the land and improve it, and build the waste places, and increase in wealth and happiness until it shall herome the provideof nations and the glory of the earth, , “And 1 will settle you after your old estates." They “were to be settled after their estates, not in them, not in Palestine, but after the manner of «)d Israel, in thirteen states, which has been clear ly fulfilled, for the United States was settled af ter the man of old Istael. both in the number of stales: and the republican form of government, *‘Artd I will do better unto you than at your beginnings.” The truth of this promise uiav lie seen hy comparing out American Israel with the Jewish Israel, in the-days of her brightest splendor.

Her free system of government proves;to mankind the superiority of American Israel over the Israel of Judea, and slums this continent to be .the long promised land of restora tion. • i This land was to be inhabited by a jmople gath ered out of all nations “In the latter years thou shall come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is galltercd out of many people.

Agaih, W speaking of the restored Israel, the prophet exclaims':—“Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they that gather themselves together, they come to thee: thvsons shalTcome from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thv side. Then shall thou see and-flow together and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be convened unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.”-Isaun lx ; 4th and sth. “Lift.up thine eyes roundabout, and see: all they that gather themselves together." The world has never witnessed sneh a gathering together of the people, out of all hntions, as'that going on in America. “They-, come to thee." They come, by hundreds and thousands to enjoy onr liberty and make our country -their home. "Thy sons shall come from far.” They come from every quarter of the globe ; they come from the tealms of distant Asia, from the kingdoms of shackled Europe, from the burn ing sands of Africa, add from the isles of the ocean ; they come to populate onr vast domain and fill the prohecy of God. “Then shall thon see and flow together.” As one people, they shall sis: eye to eye, and flow to gether into one great and illustrious nation. “The abundance of the sea shall bo converted unto thee."

A professor of universal knowledge had a prince, who suddenly came in upon the pretender, and put his wisdom to the test: “So thou knowest all things,” said the king: then tell me to-morrow morning these three things only, or thou shall lose thy bead. . First—how many baskets of earth there are in yonder mountain? Secondly—how ranch is the king worth ? And thirdly, what is he thinking of at the time. The professor was distressed beyond measure, and in his appaVtment_ rolled upon the carpet in agony, fot* he knew tha’t he must die on the mor row. His servant learned the trouble and offered to appear before the king and take his chance of answering the questions. The next morning the servant, clothed in his master's robes, presented himself to his majesty,, who was deceived by bis appearance and the king proceeded ; “Tell me, now, how many baskets of earth are in yonder mountain ?” “That depends qpon circumstances. If the bas kets arc as large as the mountain, one will hold it, if half as large, .two, if quarter, four ; and so on.” The king had to be satisfied and proceeded. “Now, tell me how ranch the king is worth ?” Well your majesty, the king of Henverir and Earth was sold for thirty pieces of silver, and I con clude you are worth one piece.” This was so witty an escape, that the king laughed and went on! “Now once more, tell me what lam thinking off" ■ “Vou are thinking that you are talking with the professor, whereas it is only his servant. “Well done,” said the king, “yon shall have your reward, and your master shall not lose his head.” A CATUBBD FLAG.

On Monday of last week a young. and rather prepossessing man of about . twepty-flye years, dressed; in militaiy clothes, arrived here and called on the lady, and announced himself ps ’ her. dear correspondent. He was cordially received as such by Miss C. M , notwithstanding the par ties failed tp discover any similarity of likeness between him and the photograph, but that be ex plained to her satisfaction by saying it wag taken before he went into the service, three years ago. Monday and Tuesday things went on lovingly, and ho visited the morning prayer-meetings, sang, spoke, and all were greatly edified thereby.. The ; account he gave of himself was that he hail re- ; signed about four months previous, was now a deputy .provost Marshal, was atVieksburg when taken , prisoner, an inmate of Libby prison eight months, and was in the Gettysburg fight. On Tuesday night, much against the wishes of parents and friends, they were married. The next day he began to look after some workmen' to paint and paper bis new father-in-law's house: His bargain with the painters was fair, show ing plenty of greenbacks, and offered to pay down on fulfilment of the contract: He looked at a number of fine residences, but failed to strike a. barguiir. In conversation with the clergyman who married them, be slated that be had lost on Main street, $5OO, but being a stranger, and hav ing already gained some 'notoriety,'he would not advertise it; u he did not dire for the money.” He claimed to be the .owner of a farm of two hun hundred acres, near Elmira. Friday .afternoon, Mr. Officer, who had already assumed two or three names, procured a carriage and horse of Mr. Sweeney, of the Eagle, and drove out, but did not, it seems, return as per agreement. In the morning, a letter arrived for the bride, which was opened by the parents, and founddo be from her true correspondent, the owner of ’the photograph. This document resulted in sending officer’s Clark and Howe in pursuit of the team and deluded bride. At Canandaigua he was arrested, ironed, and piaced*n durance vile. The eyes of the late Miss C. M. being opened, she upbraided him for his deceit, and declared she would: return home, which she did. Theyoung scamp was knocked down; before he would yield. To officer Clark he confessed be was a deserter form the armv, and wished him to call the provost marshal, preferring to fail into their bands. Officer Clark deetnitig it proper to nolifiy the provost, did so.. During the few minutes absence the prisoner had wrenched off his irons and buried such papers in bis posses sion as he thought proper. He is certainly a most accomplished villian. The: affair has caused much excitement. It is due the parents of the misguided young lady to say that they were op-' posed to the hasty "marriage, and insisted on a week’s time, but the couple were determined, and threatened to go somewhere else to have the cere mony consnmated, and fearing that they would make the affair more ridiculous-, they reluctantly and fearfully consented. An Ice Jam at Niagara Falls. The Niagara Falls Gazette baa the following in relation to an exeiting scene which took. place there a few days since;—A change from the pre-' vailing - easterly wind to the opposite quarter, brought down immense quantities of iee from the lake last Wednesday night. For the first .time, we' believe, in the recollection of the “oldest inhabi tants,” the ice formed a complete dam across the rapids between the bridge and the upper end of Goat Island. With the. except ion of a few- rods in width; near the main shore, the rocks below the ice dam were bare; It was safe walking where usually flows an impetnons flood. And yet it was not quite so safe, as was proved Thursday morn ing, when several young men walidcred over the barren rocks, and visited a boat that bad been lodged there for several weeks. . While enjoying a walk, which we of this generation may never again hear of being done, the iee dam gave away, arid the vast volume of water, probably from five to ten feet deep, came rushing through. The dam soon disappeared, and the boat that bad Remained fixed against the ordinary torrent, was Swept away and over the cataract. Of course there .was a hurrying toward the island shore and the paper mill pier.— Some, escaped with a little wetting and a big seare, while others barely escaped with their . lives. A young man named Bartow was obliged to leap from one to another of the floating cakes of ice, and fully .appreciating the necessity of making land before being carried too near the Catpract, lost no time |n leaping from the last cakcorid swimming several rods to shore. Those who witnessed' the scene describe it as exceedingly exciting. It oc curred at an early hour in- thomoming, and hence. was seen fay but few of our citizens: ggfWhen John Brown, D.
