One of the grand errors in the ccurso never boon suspected of any religion of
of tho country hag boon in tho divisions any sort, coolly assuming to be directors
of the ditl'erent branches of the church of the ravers and preaching in churchoH,
during some year pat, on the political and turn on whose lips blasphemies have
questions of tho d ly . But tor these ii- not boon uncommon utterances, grow itii
visions thcro would have been a strong raculously eloquent and instructive on

Individual

collectively, liieir religion should in

unother thing. The ctim eti ai such bus
absolutely t;o corccrn with those works
in which it is the highest worldly duty of
V!ie man to cngaco. I he church owes no
allegiance to any earthly power, it owes
no feui'.y to any monarch or government.

I'iio mistake of confounding the duty ol
lie iii'.iividual citi.cn und church mem-
i cr, w ill) tiie duties of tho church, has
leu to the most fatal errors in this coun-
l: It led to similar errors at various
oeiirds in history. It has been worthy of
r.-niark that the most wUe directors of
din great church organizations of the
Christian world havo understood this
principle in times past, and have guarded
iguin-t tho errors of which we speak,
m IiiIo at all timep, weak.-mindod l ope
I'.ishopsand clergy have endeavored to
tin o'.r tho veii'ht of tho church into the
politic t the day, and always with most
Jsmeging cllcct on its importance and po
sition. The Spring meetings of bomo of the
great j idicatorios of the A meriean church
s are about to b held. It is not jiroba
b!o that any thing can be uono fit this
time toeQ.y;!, reunion of tho broken
bijndsofcliuich relation, North and South,
but it is most earnestly to bo desired that
nothing be done lo widen the breach, or
froloiii; the disunion.
Tho General Assembly of tho Presbyte
rian t'hurcli last spring made a grand, and
almost fatal blunder, in this respect., by
lop ting resolutions declaratory of its al
'gi:mcj to tJie I'nked States. TJio error
was so palpable, tlat it is marvellous that

these fact to Cill attention to (he m.iiii

to hum. in government, has nothing to do
'th tho allegiance of the church of which
he is a member. Tho church teaches the

One of ihe most remarkable character

went to drink from a clear culm 1 iviulet
and thore for tho first time, beheld his
ort ii imago reflected in the water. He be
came so fond of himself, that be would
never leave the tpot w here his beauty had
been revealed to him, but gazing till he
had wasted away, was changed by the gods
into tbo '.lower that bonis his name.
Ilyaciiithus, being beautiful and accom
plished, was so highly esteemed byAp
polio, that Zephyrus, incense at tho youth's
coldness and iudiffcrcuee, determined on
his destruction On .'..y, wlini A j.pollo
and Ilyacinthus were playing quoits, Ze
phyrus, hidden among the fleecy clouds,

by Appolo full upon the head of tho un
fortunate prince, who instantly fell dead.
Great was the grief of the sumgud, wh",
lo commemorate bis victim by their graco
and beauty, caused hyxchtifa to spring from
his blcod.
In connection with flowers comes in the
lovely legend of the Kape of I'l-oscpine,
who, on the Nysi'in plain, uccompanied
by the ocean nymphs, wps plucking (low
ers. She cull ed the rove, the violet, the
crocu.-, thu hyacinth; and beholding a
narcissus of rue size and beauty, sho
sketched her hand to gather it, when the
earth opened, and Pluto, arising in his
golden chariot, seized her and boro her
away. Ceres her mother, heard her cries,
but knowj not who has stolen her, nor
whither she has fled. Llin, however,
(the sun.) betrayed tho secret, and tells
her that Jove permitted it. "Thin Ceres,'
disgusted, leftheaern und dwelt amongmor- j
tals-" Put she would not al'ow tho corn-;
10 uproot, and threatened with the des-j
struction of his subjects on earth, Jove
beseeches her to return to heaven to which j
sho consents on one condition - tho reslo-1
ration of her daughter, who at length re-j
turns, but not till sho has eaten a puine
granate given to her by Pluto, through
which she wni compelled to return and
pass a third of the year, with her infernal
husband, "for Pluto dwelt in Hades." And
what is Prospertiuo but seed corn, which t
being cast into the ground, remains hid
den there till it appears upon the surface,
and though not delaying to sprout for a
third of a year, yet it is about that ti'no
from the sowing of (he graiu to its lipen
ed fullness of the ear.
Turni.ig t tho Christian era, we find
that the priests of tho early church enlis-1
ted flowers into their service. They com- (
piled at catnlougiie of flowers for each day,
dedicating each tu some particular saint
on acount of its flowering f bout the timo
of the saint's festivrl. Kvery ono knows
the aspen, ever moving, ever trembling
in the calmest summer day, the legend of
which runs us follows ;
As the pngel of death ncared the cross
on which he hung, who 'eonsidereth the
lillios how ihev "row," he dunliod tho cup
of bitterness lull at its foot : und tho as-'
pen that grew, for out of one of them the
ero-s was made, shuddering: at the daring 1
of the deed, inherited forever the tretn
bling throes of the dying Deity. I
The Shamrock, the national emblem of.
one of Britain's fairest isles, has its Chris -1
tian legend thus : St. Patricius, unable to
mako his headers comprehend tho mean-'
ing of the word Trinity, despuringly cast '
his eyes ou the ground in prayer for somo
moans whereby ho might "Lighten the'
Gentiles," when spying the littlo trefoil
shamrock at his feet, ho plucked it, and
holding it up on high, pointed to threo
leaves on the stem as tho emblem ot his
doctrino, to tho easy comprehension of his
listeners.
To tho beautiful little flower tho forgot,
me not, with its blue, like the tint of a
summer sky, and its golden eye, bright as
hope, is attached a legend known to most
of our readers, though it w ill not be amiss
to repeat it. A German knight with his
lady lovo, were walking on the banks of
the Danube, when the fair ono saw a tuft
of tho nvvsetis in the stream, and express

follow ing from a letter lo the New Yorl:
Ti mi's from its army correspondent at the
White House on the Pamuiiky river:
At a moderate estimate, tho Confeder
ates had at Yorktown eighty or ninety
thoiMiind men. These have retreated be
yond the Cl.ickalicminv. and, so far as can

gion lying betiveen that river and tho
Jutnes, ready to concentrate upon Rich
mond, w here is a reserve of 11,000 men to
increase their force tu about 100,000. To
these aro now to be uddod tho 13,000 fall
ing back from Norfolk: Jackson is credit
ed with 10,000 or 15,000; ".0,000 have
been in the neighborhood of Goruonsviil"
under Custavus W. .Smith, and Homes and
Whiting aro reported on tho Happahani
nock w ith 40,000 more. A portion of these
forces may be already with the army from
jorktown. and I hear of Gen. Whiting I
having been in tho engagement at Wil-!
liamsburg. Put it is probable that tho J
rebels bavo upwards of 173, 00U men now
in Virginia so located that, with their)
control of the railroads, they can conceiis,
tr.ite them in less than a day upon Rich-i
mond. " I
The Confederates Rie reported lo have '
been actively engaged stre ngthening their
def'inses in front of Richmond for somn '
weeks past, commencing tho work ten
days or fortnight before evacuating York-,
tos n. Their foi titicalions extend from
within half a mile of Richmond to a point
on the Chickaliorniny, fifteen miles from j
the city. Tho land in that vicinity is un-j
dulating, except upon the river, where it!
is low and boggy, compelling the uso of
bridges of considerable length to cross tho
stream, which is no size in itself. It is
believed that political considerations will
induce them to oppose to tho la-t our en-!
try into Uichmor.d, though a point furth
er away from Iho water courses would give
them a much stronger position, when they
would have nothing to four from our gun- j
boats.
The llisi.vii Sin. As wo proceeded the
timid approach of twilight became more
perceptible ; tho intense blue of the itky
began to soften ; tho smaller stars, like
little children, went first to rest ; tho sis
ter beams of the Pleaidos soon melted to-'
.'ether, but the bright constellations of
the West and North remained unchang
ed. Steadily tho wondrous tiansfigurii'
lion went on Hands of ungels hiddt n from
mortal eyes shifted tho scenery of the
heavens : tho glories of night de-olved in. 1
to the glories of tho dawn. The blue sky
nov turned more softly grey '. the great
watch stars shut up their holy eyes ; the
l'.asl begun to kindle. Faint streaks ol
purple soon blushed ulong the sky ; t.v
whole celestial concavo was filled with the
inflowing tides of the morning light, pour
ing down from above in ono great ocean
of radienoe, till at length a flash of purple
tire blazed out Irom above the horizon,
and turned the dewey tear drops of flower
and leaf into rubies und diamonds. In a
few seconds tho everlasting gates of the
morning were thrown open, end the lord
of the day, arrayed in glories too severe for
the piuo of man, began his state. I-d
