"Looking off unto Jesus," my spirit is blest— In the World I have turmoil—in him I have rest; Phe sen of my life all about me mat- roar— , When 1 look unto Jesus, I heai it no more. 'Looking off unto Jesus," I go not astray; .My eyes are on him. and he shows me the way; The path may seem dark, as lie leads me along. But following Jesus, I cannot go wrong. 'Looking off unto Jesus," my heart cannot tear- Its trembling is still, when 1 see Josus near^ I know that his power my safeguard will bo, l*or, '• Why are ye troubled?" he saith unto me. "Looking off unto Jesus," oh! may I be found, IV hen the waters of Jordan encompass me round: Let them bear me away in his presence to be— Ti> but seeing him nearer, whom always I see. i hen, then I shall know the full beauty and grace Of Jesus, my lord, when I stand face to face: I shall know how his love went before me each dav And wonder that ever my eyes turned away! Our Children. Our children are to fill our places in so ciety—in church and State, ami the man- j ucr in which they will fill them depends upon the manner in which we educate them. If we train them up in the Sab- j bath-schools, fur God and his church, they will amply repay us for our care; but if i they are trained up for the world—in the ' streets—in the gambling and tippling sa- : 100n —in Sabbath breaking, profanity, li centiousness and intemperance—iu idle- ! ness —in sin, they will dishonor our names, and by-and-by repay us with a vengeance. Jlnstc. —There is something very won derful iu music. Words are wonderful enough, but music is even more wonderful. 1 It speaks not to our thoughts as words do; it speaks straight fo our hearts and spirits | —to the very chore and root of our soul. Music soothes us, stirs us up; it melts us ' to tears, we know not how ; it is a language by itself just as perfect in its way as speech, i as words; just as divine, just as blessed. I Music, 1 say, without words, is wonderful ( and blessed —one of God's best gifts to 1 man. But in singing you have both the wonders together—music and words.— ! Singing speaks at once to the head and ' to the heart, to our understanding and our feelings, and therefore, perhaps the most ; beautiful way iu which the reasonable soul of man can show itself (except of course, doing right, which always is and always will be, the same beautiful thing) is sing- ! ing. Set Thine House in Order. —Alas! for ; bun who grows old without growing wise, and to whom the future world does not set ; open her gates, when he is excluded by the \ present. Jhe Lord deals so graciously with us in the dceiine of life, that it is a shame to turn a deaf ear to ihe lessons ! which he gives. The eye becomes dim, j the ear dull, the tongue falters, the feet totter, all the senses refuse to do their of- j fice, and from every side resounds the call, ; ' Set thine house in order, for the term of" thy pilgrimage is at hand.' The play- j mates of youth, the fellow laborers of man- ( hood die away, and take the road before us. Old age is like some quiet chamber, in which, disconnected from the visible world, we can prepare iu silence for the world that is unseen. — Tkolock. Triumph Over Evil. We are rewarded for every triumph we make over temptation. I will suppose : there are many who have struggled against the vanity of vain pleasure; many who have put down evil thoughts with a strong will; many, who, after a long, and it may be an uncertain conflict with the seductions of the world, at length have triumphed.— I will put it to them whether, when they have combated and prevailed against evil, j their hearts have not softened and melted, and they have not felt within their bosoms a seraphic influence ? They have sc felt; and so it will ever be. No sooner shalA they have driven from them tho tempting demon of pride, of vanity, of aner no sooner shall the devil have "left them than angels will come and minister unto them. The Boy Preacher of Louisiana. Mark Boatner Chapman is now in his fourteenth year. He was born in Clinton, Louisiana, where his parents still reside. About two years ago he was received into the church. Very soon after this he com menced instructing his father's servants on the afternoon of every Sabbath. His cus tom was t'o read a chapter and comment up on it, having first closely studied the chap ter, consulting Benson, CI irk and Wesley i on every passage. He at length began, says a writer to the Memphis Advocate, to speak in the love feasts and class-meetings; then to pray in the public congregation. His appearance j is that of a mere boy, and he seems wholly THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1860. The Republican Platform. —Carl Sckurz very happily condenses the. platform of the Republican party as follows : To Man—his birthright; To Labor — freedom; To him that wants to Labor— work and independence; To him that works—his dues. unconscious of any superior gifts or attain ments. lie now preaches regularly every Sabbath at his father s place near town. — His parents have refused to allow him to enter the pulpit and supply the place of the regular minister on Sabbath, although he is often solicited to do so. lie does nothing without permission from his pa rents. lie attends school, and joins in all the amusements of the boys of his own age; he is a mere child everywhere, save when preaching. On last Sabbath I sat under his ministry, and have seldom been more edified and delighted with a sermon. His style is chaste, his words fitly and hap pily chosou. The nicest critic would not detect a grammatical error; his manner is earnest, and his pathetic appeals reach all hearts. 1 Iccastonally his feelings over whelm him, and he gives way to floods of | tears. 'lhe most gifted lawyers, doctors, and di vines have heard him with a.-tonishment and delight. 1 confess that it is most wonderful, and fo me incomprehensible. \\ hen 1 heard him, he preached from the text, ' How long halt ye between two opin ions?' He preached from notes, some times seeming to forget that his notes were before him. His subject was arranged with perfect system and most logically treated. Y hen through with his sermon, he closed the book, and gave a brief and touching exhortation, under which I could with all others, but weep. His public ad dresses published have attracted much at tention, and. should he live, he must, in his upward course leave a broad wake on the tide of mortals. Such is the charac ter of the ' Boy Preacher,' whose wonder ful precocity is without a parallel.— X. Or leans Crescent. An Astronomer's View of the Universe. In wafting ourselves in imagination to our own satellite, the moon—the nearest of our celestial bodies —we have passed over a distance equal to thirty times the diame ter of our globe. In advancing to the sun we travel over a distance cqu.,l to thirty that of the moon; and before we reach Uranus, the remotest of the planets, we have traversed a space equal to twenty times the earth's distance from the sun. — Thus placed at the limits of a system en closed in a circle of eighteen hundred mil lions of miles in radius, our appreciation of distance would appear to be exhausted, and \ we seem to be as on the margin of tin un fathomable abyss. The telescope, however, and the mural circle, enable us to span the void, and the genius of man, proud of the achievement—and justly, if humbly proud —has crossed the gulf twelve thousand times the radius of his own system, that we may study the nearest world in the fir mament ot Heaven. Beyond the frontier lies the whole universe of stars —their bi nary systems, their clusters, and their neb ulcus Combinations. The paral- | lax of one-fourth of a secu-.d in a Lyra, i carries us four times as far into the bosom ! of space; though beyond this, as we have no positive measure of distance, it would be as unphilosophical to assign limits to oroa tion, as to give an infinite range. In this rapid flight into space, we have traversed it in but one dimension, and the line which we have traced is but a unit in the scale of celestial distance. Creation in its wide panorama is still above us, beneath us and around us. The over-arching heavens still enclose us, and innumerable worlds spar kle in its canopy. If from this bourne, from which the as tronomical traveller alone returns, we look upon our course, our own planetary system ceases to be perceived. Its sun is dim— itself but an invisible point in the nebu lous light that intervenes. Where, then, is our terrestrial ball; its ocean—',ts conti nents, its mountains, its empire.,;, its dynas ties, its tin ones ? W here our father land ; its factions, its Christians, disunions; its slave crimes, and Acs unholy wars ? \\ here is man, intellectual monad; the on ly atom of organic 'nfe that can pierce the depths and interpret the enigma of the universe ? and, y e t the only spark of a spir itual naturr J} which disclaims the authority and resists the will of the universal King! They have all disappeared in the far-off perspective—the long vista of space, whose apex, were it a sun, the hugest telescope would fail to descry. No living thing here meets the eye, and no sentiment associated with life presses on the affections. The tiny organisms of earth and ocean —every- thing that moves and breathes —that lives and dies—all are engulphed in the great conception of the universe. The. straining mind cannot unite the immeasu rable extremes. The infinite in space — the eternal in duration—the omnipotent in power—the perfect in wisdom, alone fill the expanded soul, and portray in their awful combination—the Creator of the Universe. — North British Review. MOST EXTRAORDINARY HOAX* '1 he Manchester (England) Guardian, has the following account of an extraordi nary hoax at Warrington, Lancashire. On Saturday, a hoax of the most extraordinary and impudent kind was played off at War rington. It appears that some waggish in dividual, at present unknowu, last week ad dressed letters to various gentlemen and traders in the town, dating from the Rec tory, and purporting to be signed by the Rector, the Rev. W. Quekett, giving invi tations and orders to an almost incredible amount. On Saturday morning about 11 o'clock, the end of Church street that fronts the Rectory presented a curious as pect. Cro.vds of people had gathered, and were watching the fun as butchers, sweeps and bakers made their appearance at the house of the Rector. Mr. Quekett, as may well be imagined, was nigh frantic at see ing the numerous articles that were being deposited at his door; and it really was no joke to be presented by seven carters, each of whom had brought a load of coal, and determined not to be gammoned into ta king it back. Nor was it all a laughing matter to be troubled with sweeps, butch- i crs and doctors, all seeking an entree. — \\ bile a squabble was going on between the eoa! carters and domestics, up come two empty carts, the drivers having orders, as they said, to take the Rector s luggage to the railway station; and confusion was worse confounded by the arrival ofajoiner armed with full instructions to measure -Mr. Quekett fur a coffin ! The bewildered servants astonished ' chips' by telling him £ he'd better ask the master himself,' and feeling himself 'done' he walked ofl amid the derisive cheers from the people outside. The joiner had barely left the door when four sweeps made their appearance eyeing each other askance, as they ' thought queer that four of us should be chaw'd to sweep one chimney.' They were undeceived at last, but not without some difficulty, and the disputation had scarcely closed between them and the Rector's servants, when the Mayor's car riage was announced, and out stepped the Chief Magistrate, expecting to take lunch eon with his reverend friend. A few words sufficed to show His Worship how matters stood, and he was preparing to leave, when two celebrated members of the medical fraternity arrived. Perhaps they were sent for to prepare the Rector for the service of the joiner. Eight butcher boys, with prime joints, next besieged the Rec tor's door, and supplemented by a lad with a hand-cart full of currant bread, which had been prepared for some party that was to take place. Explanations ensued, but a barber who bad come to shave the Rec tor would not believe the news, and he had to be told to depart. After the solids came the liquors. Men with porter and wine from various merchants in town, each morally certain, as he knocked at the door, that his were the only things ordered. All were ; however, doomed to disappointment, and they had to return as heavily laden as they came; and so had the fishmonger's boy with a barrel of oysters. A cab next drove up, but drove away as it came, empty, the driver looking as pleasant as was possi ble under the circumstances. A couple of Cartloads of bricks were next driven up to the door, followed by a boy with a truck laden with buckets and tubs, and another with a barrowful of spades, all the parties being evidently in a state of mystification at the crowd, the coals, the sweeps and the butchers, their intellect being not at all cleared the cuals, the sweeps and the dusty cheers with which the}* were greeted. The matter has been placed in the hands of the police, and every effort is being ?.nado to discover the author of this outra geous trick. Horrible State of Affairs on the Fron tier. A correspondent of the Galveston (Tex as) News, writing from Weatherfield, Tex as, on the loth, says: I have just returned from Belknap and Jaeksboro'. Young county may be consid ered in a desperate condition. Anarchy almost daily exhibits its unhappy rule there. Four men were killed in that vicinity du ring Court week: Collins, Bivins, Adams and Cornett. The case grew out of the Reserve Indian question, and the "O. L. M." letter, as I understand. Cornett who killed Neighbors, and whose wife was cap tured by the Indians, and carried away, was charged with an assault on Dennis Murphy with intent to kill. A. writ was issued and placed in the hands of an offi cer, and, in attempting to arrest him, Cor ne!<!i was shot by the officer's posse, as he resisted the- execution of the writ. The other men ware killed by persons unknown. It is said that some of the Rangers in Col. Johnson's command were engaged in the killing of Bivins, Adams and Collins. One Anderson was killed by the Sheriff and posse of Young county a short time before court. His brothers and friends armed, and sought a chance at the Sheriff up to court holding, when he resigned his office. It is said that there is not another man in the county who will accept the of fice. Mr. Newhouse was wounded not long i since by the Indians —a party of twelve and died in a few days afterwards. He ! stated that the party were of the Upper New Series—Vol. XIV, No. 35* Reserve; he knew them well, had lived near them, and traded with them aud could not have beeu mistaken. A Mexi can was with him at the time of the at tack, who was killed upon the spot. Death of P. R. James. —The Euro pa brings the brief announcement of the death of Mr. G. P. 11. James, the welb known novelist. Mr. James was born in London at the commencement of the pres , eat century, and commenced his career by i early contributions to the magazines and newspapers. Mr. Washington Irving was literary godfather, for some youiuful effu sions exhibited merit sufficient to elicit hiu praise and the advice to adventure in CL I larger field. From the year 1822 till the day of his death, Mr. James' pen has nev jer been idle. The mere list of his wri | tings is beyond most men's power to re member, as the writings themselves have been beyond most men's power to read.— His last work, if we remember correctly, was Lady Montague's Page, which was the 189 th volume of his composition. The private life of Mr. James was full of kindly deeds and unobtrusive virtues. Those who knew him most intimately were warmest in his praise, and he nowhere had closer friends than those whom he acquired during the few years, from 1850 to 1858,*' in this country. Jteirlt is now just two hundred yeara since phosphorus was first obtained by Brand, of Hamburg. So wonderful was the discovery then considered that Kraft, an eminent philosopher of the day, gave Brand Sooo for the secret of his prepara tion. Kraft then travelled, and visited nearly all the courts of Europe, exhibiting it. Phosphorus resembles beeswax, but is more transparent, approaching to the colov of amber. Its name, which is derived from the Greek, signifies 'light bearer,' and is indicative of its most distinguished quality, being self-luminous. when exposed to the air, shines like a star,' giving out a beautiful lambent, greenish light. Phosphorus dissolves in warm sweet oil. It' this phosphorized oil he rub bed over the face iu the dark, the feature* assume a ghastly appearance, and the ex perimentalist looks like a veritable living Will-o'-the-Wisp. Cure For Cancer. Mr. Thomas Anderson gives the follow ing recipe for cancer, which, he says, has been of great service in several dangerous cases : ' Buil fine Turkey figs in new milk which they will thicken; when they are tender, split and apply them as warm as they can be borne to the part affected, whether broken or not; the part must be washed every time the poultice is changed with some of the milk ; use a poultice night and mornimg, or at least once during the day, and drink a quarter of a pint of this milk ; the figs are boiled twice in twenty four hours. If the stomach will bear it this must bo persevered in for three or four mouths at least. A man aged 10J was cured about six years before his death, with only six pounds of figs. The cancer which began at the corner of his mouth, had eaten through his jaw, cheek, and half way down his throat; yet he was so per fectly cured as never to show any tendency to return. Should it ever do so, the figs should be again applied. The first appli cation gives a great deal of pain, but af- ' terwards each dressing gives relief. A woman cured by this remedy had been af flicted for ten years; her breasts bled ex cessively; ten pounds cured her.'
