weiixksday morning, jan. n, xm.
SOMEDOOV.
Somebody's eyes have grown dimmer
Off in some quiet old home
At morn, when the ovening stars glimmer,
Watching for roino one to ootn.
Watching while heart grows the slokor,
As day after day glides along,
Watching while tears fall the thicker,
Choking the lullaby song.
Somebody, Vanderlng over
Lands far away from bis own,
Scents as of old the sweet clover
That grows bv the nl.l J..
Long, to gu back and to uiinglo,
Aa In the dim days of yoro,
Willi those round the old cottage Ingle,
Tboeo who, alas ! are no more.
Somebody's prayers ar, asoonding
Ever for dear ones away,
Prayers that His bleasing'attrnding
May keep them from going astray t
Prayers that float nearer and nearer
Tho throne of the Father above,
And, reaching the ear of the Hearer,
Are answered in infinite lore.
Somebody's life-work is ended
Patient they wait now to go ;
Long have ihey failafully wended
Toilsome paths here below.
Soon the reward they'll be reaping
That to the faithful is given 1
"Well done ; some up 1" and be keeping
Watcb for somebody In Heaven.

A CHRISTIAN NATION.
Wliilo nearly all tho civilized na
tions ft tlio cnrtli aro tluimintr tlu
eliristmn naino, liow few aro willing
ui iiu gnvcrncu oy mo spirit op tlio
Ikwh of liint whom God has net upon
hi holy liill of Zion. To allix tlio nn.
pellntive CInistron Nation to any
earthly orgniii.ulion of government it
a misnontur; for Clirim liimnclf do
cluren Unit his kingdom in r.ot of this
world. A C'liriRtinn Nation must bo a
nnlion over wliiih Clirint presides in
liitt spiritual gnvernment. " His king
dom is so diritinet from all tho king
doms and nations of this world, that
except n man bo born again lie can
not bco it : and except a man be born
of tlio wuler and nf tho Spit it ho can
not enter it, or no n cili.en ol it.
The new and epirilual birth which is
indicponsiblo to a perecplion of, or en
trance into, tho kingdom of our God,
is not effected by blood, nor by tlio
will of man, but it iu of God. Jinn
cannot therclore resDlvo himself inin
it, nor run any nation ol the oarth, bv
li'ginlnlivcnnctnicnts, constittilo itself
a liirislmn JNnlion. ilio church of
the living God is in thescripturcH cull
ed a ''Chosen Generation, a Royal
Priesthood, ft Holy Nation, a Peculiar
People j" btit till theso names clearly
imply that they aro chosen ol God in
Christ, as a seed that shnll bctvo hi in,
and be counted to him for n genera
tion ; they being tho children which
God has given him, and which ho
stands pledged to rniso up at tho last
day. Their holiness is of God. Tho
Lord ishiniscll their Righteousness, as
ii is ni'iiicn, "Aim men-righteousness
is of mo, Buith tho Lord." Tho Hebrew
Nation, though n perfect Tlecncracy ,
was not n Christian Nation, for tho
Cliiiftian Church was not organized
until after tlio resurrection of Christ
from tho dead.
How preposterous then to talk of
uinkuijj tho Liiitcd Statoa a Christian
Nation by legislative onactnionts !
Aro thoHO religious fanatics who from
tho commencement of our nutionulity
have been so ardently striving to es
tablish a hierarchy in our country,
willing to bo govcrnod thomsolvcs by
tho laws of Christ f Do they luvo
tiifir enemies, und do good to them
who deepilefully uso und pcrseeuto
them f . Aro they ready to beat their
swords into plowshares, and their
spears into pruning hooks? Ho thoy
indeed desire and breatho tho spirit of
penco on earth, and good will to man?
Whatever rony havo bt)."n their pro
fessions, history brands Ihcm with
very opposite proclivities. Behold,
says God, yo fust for strifo and douttc,
and lo sniito with tho fist of wickoa
ness. Is not this the fast that Got!
approves, to Jooso tho bands of wick
edness, to undo tho heavy burdens,
and to let tho oppressed go frco, and
that ye break every yoke 1 Is it not
to deal thy bread to the hungry, and
that thou bring tho poor Hint aro cast
out lo thy houso ? When thou secst
tho nuked, that thou cover him, mid
that thou hide not thyself from thine
own flesh ?
lmngino whnt kind of a Christian
Nation tho purilunio jthariscos would
make if they could carry out their
doaigns. Willi our National C'npitol
eon tnountuU v. till lliv luio of a pa
gan deity, and tho intorior ornament
ed with the cod of war, and many
other emblems of tho idolulry of tho
people, with all manner ol corruption,
dishonesty in high and low places,
thirsting for blood, and ready to des
troy ono anolhor. Yet, wondorful to
think, that by a complimentary inser
tion of tho nnmo of God, of Christ, and
of a Christian KabbaHi, this tin defiled
country, with nil iU murdord, its lob
bories, its suicides, its cilmo of every
conceivublo nnmo and typo, is to bo
transformed into a Christian Nation,
by legielutivo enactment.
As wo pass through our towns and
cities, how many magnificent temples
point their lolly spires up heaven wu i d,
inscribed to (St. Paul, St. John, fit.
Stephen, and many other imposing
n.imcs, In 'which not ono of those
saints would bo allowed to preach tho
doctrino of God our Savior, if Ihey
were hero in tho flesh, Whut splen
did mockery, what garnished hypoc
ricy 1 Tlio.so who would ns eugorly
stono tho prophets of our God, and
shod tho blood of tho ministers of
Chririt, as did their fathers tho proph
ols and apostles in the duys of old,
still crave lo bo called a Christian Na
tion, to lako nwny thoir ropronch.
But if it wero difTeront with us,
ovon if In truth wo could righteously
claim to bo tho most upright, virtu
ous and blameless earthly nation and
poopfo on tho faco of tbo oarlb, still it
would bo aaorilogioDi, if not down
right blasphemy, to assume the iv
orod name of Christian Nation. That
tho church of God is a christian na
tion will not ho disputed) but it is so

Sam Patch's Last Jump.
A correspondent of tho Now York
Commercial Advertiser writes; While
in Rochester a few days ago I met
Mr. Hebburd, an old resident of Gen
066CO county, who suw Sum Patch
make his famous jump off (ioncssco
falls, 30 or 40 years ago. He suys
that jump day was a great day in
Rochester. Tho pooplej gathered for
miles around lo sco this iiitormitlenl
American jumper, as ho performed
nis last leal.
Sam Patch haJ previously jumped
over Niagara. Then, saying "somo
things enn be dono ns well as others,"
ho slashed around like Sergeant LVites
through tho western part of the Stuto
to back tin his proverb, liel'oro this
last jump, ho bought a big black bear
ol a circus man und led him over tho
turnpike to Rochester..
Tho morning of tho day cume.
Sam had arrived in town with the
black bear, and tho crowd rushed into
Rochester from miles around. Twolvo
o'clock wus the hour to jump to
jump 100 feet down down tho tcrri
blo full into tho boiling caldron below.
A staging had boon built out over tho
wutor, and Sain appeared on tho stag
ing dressed in a sailor', funey jacket.
His friends now took up a collec
tion on tho shnro, while Sinn swung
his hat and said, after jumping him
self, ho would return and throw I hp
beur over. Then, amid a douth-liko
stillness, he rnn a few stops and gave
ono leap into tho nir and lull, cutting
tho hiisl, like a lead sinker, two hun
dred feet Into tho seething whirlpool.
As ho left tho singing his body as
sumed r.n nblitjuo position, his head
loremost, but above his lect. Aa ho
struck the water (hero was a dread
ful silence, while tho populaco nwnit
od with choking breath his reappear
ance. Ono m inn lo, two minutes, threo
minutes, and no riirni of tho darinu
jumpor. Then tho ponplo act up a
lout! wail a long murmur of sorrow.
This was tho end of Sam Patch.
They say ho had hoen drinking dur
ing tho morning, and failed to keep1
his fnot tatrotlior anil tiia body j,urj.n
dieular, as on previous occasions. .So
when ha struck tho water the breath
left his body, and ho was knocked
senscloss. A month or so afterward
they found his body away down below
Rockeslor, drilled upon tho rocks.

Tim Flea. When u flea, under a
niieroscono, is made to appear as large
ns an elephant, wo can nee all the
wondorful partis of its ('urination, and
are astonished to find that it tins a
coat of armor much moro complete
than ever warrior woro, Bud composed
of strong polishod platen, filled over
each other, each pinto liko n tortoiso
sliell, and where thoy meet hundreds
of small quills project liko thoso on
tho back ol a poroupino or hodge-hog.
There aro the arched nock, the bright
oyes, the transparent cases, piercers to
punctilio the skin, a sucker to draw
away the blood, six long legs, four of
which aro iolded on the breast, all
ready nl uny moment to be thrown
out with tremendous force for thul
jump which bothers ono when they
waul lo catch him, and at tlio end ol
each leg hooked claws, to cnnblo him
to cling on to whntovor ho lights upon.
A fjeii can jump n hundred limes its
own length, which is tho same ns if a
man jumped five hundred foot ; and
ho can draw a loud two hundred times
his own weight.

Spinning is ono of ihc primary arts,
and was dercloped by tho growth of

threads, and tho luxurious elegance of
their soft nnd richly dyed carpets.
Tho Anglo-Saxons wero nl an early
day proficient iu domestio spinning,
both in wool nnd flax. In tho seventh
century tho undergarmonts, gowns
and stockings of tho higher classes
were made of fine linen. Before the
close of tho same century, tho ladies
of Great Britain bud attained such
excelle'nco in wcuving that they work
ed gold und silver threads into linon,
after a pattorn traced on tho lubric,
and linen webs wero woven with shut

At a later period womon of all
grades woro accustomed to spin ; but,
from tho fact that iho unmarricd'oncs
wero moro fully oceupiod in this mun

daughters of king Edward tho Elder

weaving, and ueedlo work. These
accomplishments procured for them
