tllte New York Herald of Truth, a valuable religious
paper published weekly by H. S. S.-hall A Co.. at
per annum, in addition to three or f.,ur sermons by
ministers nf different denominations, has other arti
elos of a high order. The following, founded on He
brews, xii, ti. we copy from a late number.]
LOOKING Oi l UNTO JESUS.
0 eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore,
I.ook oil unto Jesus, and sorrow no more :
The light of his countenance shin. th so bright
That on earth, as in Heav u, there n<- ■ 1 be i.o night.
•'Looking off unto Jesus,"' my eyes cannot see
The troubles and dangers that throng around ine:
They cannot be blinded with sorrowful tears.
1 hey cannot Vie shadowed with unbelief fears.
"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

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

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

man in the county who will accept the of

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.'
A Minister's wife says :-The first time
I took my oldest boy to church, when be
was two years and a half old, I managed,
with caresses and frowns, and candy, to
keep him very still till the sermon was
about half done. By this time his pa
tience was exhausted; and he climbing,te
his feet, stood on the seat looking at the
preacher (his father) quite intently.—
Then, as if* he had hit upon a certain rc
, lief for his troubles, he pulled me by the.,
chin to attract my attention, and. exclaim
ed in a distinct voice, ' Mamma, make
papa say amen!'
A V-Toe. —'Pa,' said an interesting
juvenile yesterday to his indulgent sire—
' Pa, haven't I got a veto as well as the.
Governor ?'
' No, my child.'
l \*es, I have, Pa; my fifth toe is a V
toe, I reckon.'
'Take that child to his mother —he's
ruined !'
