This little paragraph, cut from a week's or
dinary column of foreign intelligence, gives a
modern example of the gracious results ,that
have often followed one of God's arrows shot
"at adventure" by one of His faithful servants.
Such instances of Gospel triumph have always
marked the course of Christianity since the
white-horse rider went forth, the arrows of

there, and yonder ; though it is not always
seen where they fall, the slightest turn of the
bow shifting widely the scene of conquest.

An arrow from this bow, shot direct from
the Lord Himself, entered the heart of Saul of
Tarsus, and he became one of Christ's most ex
pert and indefatigable bowmen, sending forth
the arrows of God's Word, thick and fast,
throughout Syria, Asia, Minor, Greece, and
Italy. And since his day, by indirect means
of the most varied character, special servants
of the Lord have been called and endowed
with grace and power to draw arrows from
the divine quiver and pierce "the heart of the
King's enemies," till, at the voice of Waldo,
or Wycliffe, or Luther, Waldensian vales, and
&►glish meads, and German towns resounded
With the joy and gladness of people saved of
the Lord.
Ands° it is in Our own day. By methods
of His own, the Lord separates to do His work
men whom the world, and Sometimes even the
Church, have not chosen ; men with or with
oat training, rich men and poor men ; learned
and unlearned ; and even women, for not on
ly our sons but our daughters are beginning
to prophecy, and some mothers of families are
proving themselves to be mothers in our Chris
tian tribes. And all these are dexterous in the
uie of the Gospel bow. ;
When God raised up Luther and Calvin,
Knox and Latimer, He raised up many helpers
With them.. Wesley and Whitefield, in taking
to the highways and hedges, found many pre
pared of the Lord to receive them and bid
them God speed. The great revival in which
President Edwards bore a conspicdous part,
ae itproceeded, drew to itself the materials
for its own sustentation and success. And so
it: has always been. Gods arrows from the
rnouths of His servants have silently but sure
ly penetrated multitudes of hearts, and brought
them under the Gospel yoke, enlisting them
az Christ's soldiers, and sending forth no in
con •iderable number of them as expert Gospel
•
bowmen.
These are obvious reflections, but useful to
oppress upon the mind a right sense of the
ever-acting presence and energy of Grtxl'S Holy
Spirit in the world, and particularly in con
nection with the labors of devoted, self-deny
itig men and women, who go forth in the name
of the Lord, "to save poor souls out of the

ENE BEAUT/1116 OF BIBLE LANGUAGE.
If we need higher illustrations not only of
the power of natural objects to adorn language
and gratify taste, but proof that here we find
the highest conceivable beauty, we would ap
peal at once to the Bible. Those most op
posed to its teachings have acknowledged the
beauty of its language, and this is due mainly
to the exquisited,use of natural objects for il
lustration. It does indeed draw from every
field. But when the emotional nature Was to
be appealed to the reference was at once to
natural objects, and throughout all its books,
the stars, and flowers, and gems, are promi
nent as illustrations of the beauties of religion
and the glories of the church.
"The wilderness and the solitary place shall
be glad ihr thorn, and the desert shill rejoice
and blossom as the rose."
"The mountains and the hills shall break
forth before yon in singing, and all the trees
of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of
the thorn shall come up the fig tree, and in
stead of the briar shall come up the myrtle
tree."
The power and beauty of the same objects
appear in the Saviour's teachings. The fig
and the olive, the splarow and the lily of the
field, give peculiar force and beauty; to the
great truths they were used to illustrate.
The Bible throughout is remarkable in this
respect. It is a collection of books written
by authors far removed from each other in
time, and place, and mental culture, but
throughout the wholenature is exalted as a rev
elation of God. Its beauty and sublimity are
appealed to to arouse the emotions and reach
the moral and religious nature. This element
f unity runs through all the books where re
rence to nature can be made. One of the
illptations of the Bible to the nature of man
is and in the sublime and perfect representa
tion of the natural world, by which iiature is
ever made to proclaim the character and per
fection of nod. No language can be written
that so perfectly sets forth the grand and ter
rible in nature and its forces, as we hear when
God answers Job out of the whirlwind. No
higher appreciation of the beautiful, and of
God as the autitor of beauty, was ever express
ed than when 'our Saviour said of the lilies of
the field "I say unto you that even Solomon,
in all his glory, was not arrayed like one of
these ;" and then adds : "If God so clothe the
grass of the fteld"—ascribing the elernent of
beauty in every leaf and opening bud to the
Creator's skill and power.—Prof. Chad
bourne.
its ITEM. WHICH EVERY MAN SHOULD READ.
—We have probably all of us met with instan
ces in which a word,heedlesaly spoken against
the reputation of a female, bas been magnified
by malicious minds until the cloud has been
dark enough to overshadow her whole exis
tence. To those who are accustomed, not
necessarily from bad motives,but from thought
lessness, to speak lightly of ladies, we re
commend these "hints" as worthy of consid
eration :
Never use a lady's name in an improper
place, at any improper time, or in a mixed
company. Never make assertions about her
that you think untrue, or allusions that you
feel she herself would blush to hest.'' . When
you meet with nun who do not temple to
make nse of woman's name in a reckless and
unprincipled manner, shun them, for they are
the very worst members of the community—
men lost to every sense of honor, every feel
ing of humanity.
Many a good and worthy woman's charac
ter has been forever ruined and her hart bro
ken by a lie manufactured by some ; villian,
and repeated where it should not have been,
and in the presence of those whose little judg
ment could not deter them from circulating
the foul and bragging report. A Blander is
soon propagated, and the smallest thing de
rogatory to a woman's character will fly on
the wings of the wind, and magnify as it cir
culates, until its monstrous weight 'crushes
the poor unconscious victim. Respect the
name of woman, for your mother and sisters
are women, and as yon would have their fair
name untarnished, and their lives tmembitter
ed by the slander's bitter tongue, heed the ill
that your own words may bring upon the mo
ther, the sister, or the wife of some fellow
creature.
rEiDNESS To As - num.—Professor Youatt
gives the following interesting filet in one, of
his valuable works:
"A horse in the depot at Woolwich had
proved so unmanagable to the rough-riders,
that at length no one among them durst even
mount him. His mode of throwing or dis
mounting his rider consisted in lying down
and rolling over him, or else crushing his leg
against some wall, or post, or . paling. All
means to break him of these perilous tricks
proving unavailing, . the animal was brought
before the commanding officer with the char
acter of being "incurably vicious," and with
a recommendation, on that account, that he
should be sold. Colonel Quest, hearing of
this, and knowing the horse to be thoroughly
bred and one of the best-actioned and cleverest
horses in the regiment, besought the com
manding officer to permit him to be transfer
red into the riding troops. This was consent
ed to, and the transfer was no sooner accom
plished than Colonel Quest determined to pur
sue a system of management directly opposite
to that which had been already attempted.—
He had him led daily into the riding school,
suffered no whips even to be shown to him
while there, but petted him and fried to make
him execute this and the othqr manceuvre, and
as often as he proved obedient rewarded him
with a handful of corn, or beans, or a piece of
bread, with which bribes his pockets were in
variably well supplied. In thia manner, and
in no great distance of time, was the rebel not
only subdued and tamed, but rendered so per
fectly quiet that a little child could ride him.
He became, at length, taught to kneel down
while his rider mounted, and to perform sev
eral evolutions and dances and tricks in the
menage, which no other horse in the School
could be brought to do. In flue, so great a
favorite did he become, that his master gave
him the appellation of 'The Darling."
Tza GREAT CHANGZ.—There was a man
who started from Jerusalem to Damascus, on
a mission of persecution and murder, proud,
cruel and vindictive; he came from Damas
cus with a heart yearning toward all man
kind, with the humility of a child, and with
affection as tender as a woman's love. He
went towards Damascus with an intellect nar
rowed down to a rapier's point, and harder
than its steel; he came from Damascus with
an intellect broadened and fused with divine
the,. and with a logic so Invincible, and with
its links so warm •with the Holy Ghost, that
it moulded the thought of the world for eigh
teen centuries.

Tea Tur Mums u Ithssotrat.—The St. Louis
Times gives some account of the recently re
ported deposits of tin in Missouri. Several
thousand acres of land have recently been
entered in Madison and Iron counties, upon'
which the owners hope to find tin—lands
which have heretofore been considered as al
most worthless because of their hilly, rocky
character, and their remoteness from river and
railroad communication. These lands hays
been entered and purchased by parties respect
ively from Detroit, Bt. Louis, Chicago, Wheel
ing and Pittsburg, about in the order named
as to quantity, U. K. Booth, of Detroit, tak
ing the lead. The St. Louis parties have three
Cornwall miners at work exploring with very
favorable results.
The "tin fever" bas assumed a contagious
form, -and everybody his the "attack."—
Farms which could not have been bought
week ago for $lO or $l5 an acre, are now
eagerly snapped up at $lOO to $BOO per acre ;
and if the investigation now being made re
sults satisfactorily, some land we know of
could not be purchased for $l,OOO per acre.—
The Ironton Register says :
"Cornwall's glory has departed. The United
States are no longer dependent upon the Old
World for their sauce-pans; for in Southern
Missouri there is tin enough to supply her
kitchen a million years.
"Our people are fairly wild about tin. One
half the population own tin mines; and the
other half are trying to own some. Everybody
has a piece of tin ore in his pocket, and there
is scarcely a bliwlramith shop in the country
where ladies and pans have not been coated
with it.
"Our towns are full of jauntily dressed in
dividuals, who, having made fortunes in the
eastern oil regions and other land speculations,
are here looking after tin. Blow-pipes pro
trude from pockets as frequently as 'bowies'
do in Arkansas. Farmers plow up green col
ored rock and unhitch the team, for they have
found tin. Discussions on theological and
political subjects merge into tin. Everything
is tin. Men drink tin. Men dream of tin.—
There has been a tin wedding."
CaAmes os Tula.—An Irishman employed
in a shop in New York was one day surprised
and delighted by the entrance of an old ac
quaintance. After ten minutes' jollification,
the friend left, when Pat's employer said to
him:
"So, Pat, you knew that person in the old
country, did you r
"Och, an sure did I ; an' it'3 a lucky day I
met with him here. It's a tine boy he is, wicl
all his family. His grandfather was a gener
al—his father was a general—and he'd bean a
general hisseif if he not come away.
"But what Was he after in your pockets?
I thought I saw 'him put his fingers there rath
er slyly."
Clapping his hands to his pocket, Pat ascer
tained that both watch and parse were mis

a whale with a dozen harpoons in his aide;
"the thafe ! the spalpeen ! I knew him well
wid all his ' family. His grandfather was

been hanged tassel( if he had not run away !"
DIDN'T KNOW rr WAR so BRAIITIITTL.—A.
wealthy man of Boston, who owns a country
residence in the suburbs of the city, recently
became dissatisfied with it, determined to have
another, and instructed an auctioneer, famous
for descriptive powers, to advertise it in the
papers at private sale, but to conceal the loca
tion, telling purchasers to apply at his office.
In a few days the gentlemen happened upon
the advertisement, was pleased with the ac
count of 149 place, showed it to his wife, and
the two concluded it was just what they want
ed and that they would secure it at once.—
So he went to the office of the auctioneer and
told him that the place he had advertised was
such a one as he desired, and he would pur
chase it. The auctioneer burst into a laugh
and told him that that was the description of
his own house, where he was then living.—
He read the advertisement again, pondering
over the "grassy slopes," "beautiful vistas,"
"smooth lawn," etc., and broke oat : "Is it
passible ? Well, auctioneer, make out my bill
for advertising and and expenses, for, my
George t I wouldn't sell the place now for
three dines what it cost me !"
A !lemma Puzzurn.—Three brothers, bear
ing a remarkable resemblance to one another,
are in tie habit of shaving at the same barber
shop. Ifot long ago one of the brothers en
tered the barber shop early in the morning,
and was duly shaved by a German who had
only been at work fora day Sr two. About
noon Another brother came in and underwent
a aim*, operation at the hands of the same
barber. In the evening the third brother
made his appearance, when the German drop
ped his razor in astonishment and exclaimed,
"Vell, mine Gott dat man hash de fashtest
beard I nlever saw! I shaves him dis . morning,
shaves hbzi at dinner times,and be gomes back
now, mit his beard so long as it ever vash."
PnnmNo Boni SWIM —A poor lame boy

adding; i`you know, sir, that many print one

net to him when finished. He did so ; three
pence wr given him for the Bible and three
pence fur himself. • "No, sir," exclaimed this
poor boy, "please send it all ; perhaps then
it will pay for printing both sides."
Omt Wilkesbarre friend, Walker, went to a
dutch tailor and had his measure taken for a
pair of pantaloons. He gave directions to
have them made large and full. Walker i s

Lapps, and you have Norway probes, nine
tenths of the Norway that is shown on the
map•
But the rock is not whole; it is cracked'
apart here and there, and the fissures show
like slender veins over the country. The
sides of these ravines are steep as the cleft left.
Van axe, and their depths are always filled
by a foaming brook or river tumbling along
from the drenched tableland above the sea.— •
I have looked from the bottom of one of these
valleys, and seen the perpendicular rock rho
6,000 feet on eithei side * and heaven show
like a strip of bine ribbon. Where, ever in
these dales there lies a bit of earth 'twilit
and river, there the Norwegian peasa •
built his cot; and it is on such bits of earth
that' inhabited Norway is situated, end hes
lives its 1,200,000 people. The land just
round his door gives the Norwegian notatees,
rye, barley and oats; his ,cattle climb the
steeps above for every stray blade; for the
rest he depends upon the sea and river.—
Were
it not for the excellent fisheries along
this northern shore. Norway would be un
inhabitable.
One night in July, 1865, Hon. J. H., Camp
bell,
late Minister at Stockholm, the two Mes
srs. Buckley, of Birmingham, and myttelf, •
landed on the shore of a northern fiord in late- '
rude 60 degrees north. We ascended a clif
which rose about 1,000 feet above the sea.—
It was late, but still sunlight. The Arctic
ocean stretched away in_ silent vastness at our
feet. The sound Of its waves scarcely reach
ed our airy look-out. Away in the north the
huge old sun swung low along the horizon,
like the slow beat of the pendulum in the tall
clock in our grandfathela parlor corner. We
all stood silent, looking at our watches.—
When both bands came together at 12, mid
night; the full round orb hung triumphantly
above the wave—a bridge of gold running
due north spanned tho waters between tis and
him. There he slione in silent majesty which
knew no setting. We involdatarily took of
our bats; no word was saki. Combine, if you
can, the most brilliant sunset/and sunrise you
ever saw, and its beauties will pale before the
most gorgeous coloring which now lit up
ocean, heaven and mountain. In half as
hour the sun had swung up perceptibly on its
beat, the colors changed to those of the morn
ing, a fresh breeze rippled over tie fiord, one
songster after another piped up in tlis grove
behind us—we had slid into another day.
SOUND ELOY Ie r ISLEILH. —At the Royal Lnati
talon in London recently, according to the
London Lancet, Professor Tyndall repeated
some of the interesting experiments by which
he has, on previous occasions, giving ocular
proof of the effects of sonorous vibrations.—
When a jet of gas is burning under an amount
of pressure which is but just short of the "flar
ing" point, it becomes excessively sensitive
to a momentary increase of pressure, and will
respond in the readiest manner to the slight
est acute sound, vibrating actively to the
merest "chirrup" of the lips. A still more re -
markable demonstration was made with a thin
column of smoke, of which the shadow was
cast on a screen by means of an electric light ;
here the smoke became so sensitive that the
slightest vibration or the air affected it, and
two tuning-forks, making a discord, produced
the well-known beat, which was attended by
a marked pulsation'of the edges of the shad
ow. Perhaps the most betuftifal ocular 'dem
onstration of the effect efsound was produced
by throwing the electric light through a mi
nute stream of flowing water, the effect being
to produce a string of glittering drops of the
most beautiful appearance. When musical
notes were sounded in that vicinity, these
drops altered their arrangement in obedience
to the waves of sound, and clearly, indicated,
by their modified appearance, the effect pro
duced upon them.

the coming of the sire or the dam, took out his
breakfast and gave them a part. The lioness
arrived unperceived by the huntsman, so that
he had not time, or perhaps wanted the cour
age, to take' to his gun. After having for
some time looked at the man who was thus .
feasting her ybung, the lloaess went away,
and soon aftor retnrnd,bearing a sheep,which
she came andlaid at the huntsman's feet.
The Brebe, thus become one of the family,
took this occasion of making a good meal,
skinned the sheep, made a fire and roasted a
part, giving the entrails to the young. The
lion came also ; and, as if respecting the
rights of hospitaliV, showed no tokens of fe
rocity. Their guest the next
day having fin
ished his provisions, returned, and came to
the resolution never more to kill those ani
mals, the noble generosity of which he had so
fully proved. - He caressed the whelps at toll
ing leave of them, and the dam and sire ac
companied him till he was safely out of the
forest."
ANTlN9llllklflBll.—Rowlaid Hill, though
kind in his feelings, was sometimes exceed
ing keen and severe in his rebukes. A strong
Antinomian once called on him, to take him
to task for preaching on the duties of the gos
pel. "Do you, sir," said Mr. H., abruptly,
"hold the ten commandments to be the rule
of the Christian's life ?" "Certainly not," said
the visitor. Quickly as passible Mr. Rill
rang the bell, and oche servant's making his
appearance, he quietly '
elided, "John, show
that man to the door, and keep your eze on
him till he is beyond the reach of every, arti
cle of wearing apparel, or other property in
the hall."
RFILAIMABLII Tess.— In the birch wood of
Culloden, Scotland, there is a remarkable
tree, well worthy of note. About thirty years
ago a young giant of the forest was blown
down, and fell across a deep'gully or ravine,
which it completely ,spanned, and the top
branches .took root on the other side. From
the parent stem no less than fifty trees have
grown up perpendicularly, all in a row ; and
they still flourish in their splendor, while the
parent stem evinces no token of decay. Sev
eral of the . trees are not less than thirty feet
high. The tree is a birch fir.

a few days ago by. his Irish plowmen, who
was sitting at his plow tt a tobacco field, rest
ing his horse. The reverend gentleman' be
ing an economist said, with great 'serious
:
"John, wouldn't it be a good plan for you
tO hate a stub scythe here and be cutting
few bushes along the fence while the horse is
at resting a short time."
Job*, with quite as serious a countenance
as the divine wore himself, said :

tab ofrpotatoeu s in the,pulpit, and when they
are singing, to peel em awhile to be
