For the soul is dead tliut slumbers. And things are not what they seem. Cuo&us. Life is real, life is earnest! And the grave ia not its goal. Life is real! life is earnest! And the grave is not it- goal; '• Dust thou art. to dust retui nest." Is not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow- Is our destined end or way; But to act, that each to-morrow l-'iiul us farther than to-day. Lives of great men all remind us We ean make our lives snblime, And departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. Footprints which perhaps another Failing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate ; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. Go to the Prayer Meeting. Let attendance on the meetings be regu ! lar and constant. Be sure to go, if possi ble; go and see who you can find there. If your faith is weak, go. If your love is chilled, go. If hope be clouded, go. If j• >y and peace fail to raise in your soul, go. Every proic-sed Christian, be sure if pos sible to go, that the activities of the soul may be stirred up arid drawn out in (he service of Christ. If you have for a long ■ time staid away, and the Christian armor has got rusty, go. •Prayer makes it bright,' burnishes the shield, the breast-plate of righteousness. Go, if only a few are ex j pected to be there, lor if you stay away the j number will be less. Go as did the good j deacon, to the red school house year after ' year, and often alone; and, like him, you uiay by and by find the pi ice tilled with anxious worshipers at i see souls converted, i Go, expecting the presence arid refreshings 1 of the Holy spirit; and expecting to meet Christ there, agreeably to His promise, that where two or three are gathered together in His name He will be in the midst of ; them. Be sure to go, always to go to the , prayer-meeting when possible, even at the 1 sacrifice of ease and profit in worldly things; and you will find a rich reward •• in it to your own soul, and see blessings de scend upon the church of God. Go —all i go and carry out these suggestions, and i God's blessing will be to you, like His proiu i ises, sure. Try faithfully this recipe.— J Christian Mercury. Devotion - If we know that an individual holds com munion with God, that fact tends to give us confidence in him. Something within us tells us that the praying person is one who will not injure us, and in whom we can safely trust. It was upon this princi ple that an infidel, who was traveling, and who was overtaken by nightfall in a lone ly and dangerous place, confessed that he was relieved of his fears of being assasina ted. when the owner of the cabin where he had taken shelter, led the family in prayer before retiring to rest. The infidel slept soundly after such a manifestation of Chris tianity. A cabin ro fed and walled by prayer could not be an unsafe place, he thought. We have authority for another pleasing incident illustrating the same point. In exercising hospitality to a cler gyman, who arrived at a dwelling late in the evening, the heads of the house sur rendered to him their own chamber. Their little daughter, three years of age, was asleep in the crib, and they concluded not to disturb her. Quite early in the morning, she awoke, and looking towards the bed usually occupied by her parents, saw a stran ger there. At first she was startled, and covered her head with the counterpane. Soon, however, she peeped out, and said, •Man, do you pray to God V 'Yes,'was the answer, ' 1 love God, and pray to llim every day.' This satisfied the little inqui rer ; she smiled, turned over, and dropped asleep. fIHiTOMEOm The City of Damascus—lts Great Anti quity. Damascus was an important place at bast as early as the time of Abraham, so that it is not less than four thousand years old. Etymologists dispute about the mean ing of the name. It was the ancient cap ital of Syria, and was thus the quintes sence of the quick-witted race it represent ed. It is call dby some the most ancient city in the world This is, no doubt, east ern exaggeration, but the fact that every thing said by the orientalists about this fa mous capital is exaggerated, only shows how strongly its real attractions had taken effect upon their imagination. A celebra ted epistle of an ancient writer calls it ' the great and sacred city of Damascus, sur passing every city, both in the beauty of its temples andt he magnitude ofits shrines, as well as the timeliness of its seasons, the limpidness of its fountains, the volume of its waters, aud the richness of its soil.' — THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1850. Its people call it ' a pearl surrounded by emeralds.' 'Of all the cities of the East, it is perhaps the most oriental.' The descriptions of Buckingham are not considered entirely reliable. But there has selduui anything been written with hu . man pen more beautiful than his picture of the plain of Damascus. He compares it to an English scat in the country, surround ed by an immense park. The visitor in quires for the family, and finds that they | have been for a year in Italy. Meanwhile the place has been delightfully unkept. Its rich cultivation i.s everywhere partially grown up; the trees uutrimnied and dip : ping their branches in the sparkling rivu lets; the roses grown almost into trees and I covered with innumerable blossoms. Ev ery where is seen rich verdure, luxuriant growth, with but such appearance of wild ' ness as to give the finishing grace to the landscape. Such, he says is Damascus in • in the bloom ox the year. Damascus was conquered by David, who I made it tributary. After being held by j Solomon, it revolted, and afterwards was at the head of thirty-two kings. It was sub sequently taken by Asyrii and Persia. After the battle of' Issus, it fell into the j hands of Alexander the Great, and Pom ! pey annexed it to the lioman Empire. After being celebrated for its wealth and splendor under the Greek Emperor, it was conquered by the Saracens, and became for a time the capital of the Mohammedan world. The seeptre of Islam passed over ; to Bagdad, but Damascus is still famous in ; the history of Saladin. It was beseiged by the Crusaders in the twelfth century, but they failed to take it. Later still, it was captured, with cireum ! stances of great barbarity, by Tamerlane, ! and finally fell into the hands of the Turks | under Selim I. It possesses too, a high moral interest, for on that beautiful plain j it was that St. Paul 'became obedient to the heavenly vision.' Among (he points of interest connected with this famous city are the Damascus blades, so malleable that they might be bent to a right angle without losing their clas- ticity; that they could sever down or gauze floating in the air, or divide iron without destroying their edge. For ages the se cret of their manufacture was unknown. Gen. Anossoff, in the I ral mountains, how ever, succeeded, in quite recent times, in making a :-word which scorned to equal the host Damascus, 4 with a blade of reticula ted Hues — such as always appeared on the finest Damascus blades—in broad stripes, and showing a bright, gilded reflection. He cut through a gauze handkerchief in the air, and cleft bones and nails, feats which cannot be performed with the best Fnglish steel.' Anderson, in his recent travels in Siberia, states, however, that the secret died with AuossofV, as these swords are not now made at Damascus. Another point of interest is the famous Damask stuffs. They are properly silk, though sometimes made of other fabrics. Large quantities of silk are still manufac tured. and the Damask roses have lost noth ing of their immemorable beauty. There is at Damascus a considerable trade both with India and Europe. Front India are brought by the Persian Gulf, lfassora, Bagdad, and Aleppo, spices, cot ton goods, coarse and line muslins, and gold stuffs. English goods come through Bey rout and Tripoli. The people are Moham medans, Druses, Oriental Christians, Jews, Ac. The population is about one hundred thousand. A Pennsylvanian Killed by a Grizzly "Bear iu California. On the 25th of June last, a young man named liarkiey Woodward, a native of Pennsylvania, was killed in an encounter with a grizzly bear, near San Antonia, Montgomery county, California. A com panion narrates the particulars of the af fair as follows-: ' It was on Monday, the 25th of June, that this man left the place where he was encamped to go in search of some cattle, which appeared to be missing. While on his rambles, he came upon the tracks of a grizzly bear, and followed them into the mountains as far as he could ride. Then he dismounts, ties his horse to a tree, takes his rifle and follows in the tracks of the dansrerous animal until he overtakes it; then goes to within twenty feet of it and fires from behind a rock, lie leaves his rifle leaning against the rock and runs for some trees, but the bear is too fast for him ; he has not even time to use his re volver. The bear caught him, threw him down and chewed his head and face nearly to pieces, being left entirely blind. In that most horrible condition he wandered for about three quarters of a mile down the creek, towards where his horse was tied, at times walking, at times tumbling and rolling down the rough rocks, until through exhaustion he laid down and died. In that state he was found four days after being missed. ' I have taken the pains to send you this communication, hoping that you will insert it or part of it in your paper, with the re quest that all Pennsylvania papers will copy, so that Mr. Woodward's widowed mother may learn of her son's untimely end. I was one of the persons who went in search of him, and I can vouch for the truth of what is written. He had but late ly come to this vicinity to live, and none of his best friends know that he has any relatives in this State. He mentioned that he had a mother living in Pennsylvania, but we cannot recollect in what part.' FIIANCIS SYLVESTKR. .— ; Long and Exciting Sf-ige of a Maniac — An Extraordinary Affair. About ten o'clock on Sunday night a madman climbed up the roof of a one story : and attic grocery at the corner of Constance 1 and Gaienne streets, and, seating himself j on the ridge of the slanting roof, beside the chimney, he commenced singing a wild I air, to winch ho vigorously kept time by beating with a tomahawk he had taken up ! with him. SuC.i an extraordinary sight at -1 tracted a crowd very quickly, and fearful that he would lose bis balance and tumble ! down, they shouted to him to descend through the dormant windows, lie sur veyed them with the most placid indiffer ence from his exalted position, but paid no j heed to entreaties or threats, until, as tlie crowd increased in size, and became more I boisterous, his passion seemed to be arous ' ed, and loosening the bricks of the chim ney, he very deliberately broke them in pieces on the ridge of the roof and hurled them at the people below. A great scat tering took place, but not. before a few were struck and bruised with the brickbats which came with unerring aim upon those for | whom they were intended. After gaining I his position with so much trouble, the mad ' man was evidently determined upon main ! taining it, ami now perhaps laboring under ; the belief that he was beseiged by the pop ulace, he kept on coolly loosening bricks from the chimney and breaking them into | proper size for ammunition with his toma ; hawk. Not a man, woman or child could now approach within any distance from him 1 without running the risk of having their ! heads cut open by the missiles which came thick and fast from his frenzied arm. All night long he kept his position, and so re lentless was he in his watch for objects to tire at that the watchman had to caution passers by to keep under the cave of the house, out of his reach. When daylight came, lie was even more j vigilant than before, and the immense i crowd that collected frequently got too near I him, so that a number of persons were I struck, but not badly hurt. This state of j affairs was becoming quite serious. The maniac had nearly used up the whole chim ! ney in his bombardment of the neighbor ! hood, and the street was covered with brick bats, while no one could pass unless by crouching along under the cave of the house, ile seemed tireless in his fury, and answered imploriogs, commands and threats only by a shower of missiles. Some eight or ten policemen were on the ground with Mayor Monroe, and the question perplexed all how he was to be removed. A couple of officers had made an attempt to bring him down by getting through the dormant windows. The roof was so steep that they could not have grappled with the madman without reeling off, and besides, as soon as they showed their heads out of the window, lie made them targets for his brickbat- The foreman of an active up town engine company, in this emergency, proposed to try the effect of cold water treatment, as he had heard that shower baths were often u>ed to subdue very violent maniacs. This plan being agreed upon as the one promi sing success, a party went round to the nearest engine-house, that of Volunteer No. | 1, and brought their machine on the ground. A full stream of water was turned upon ; the madman, and whether it came with too much force or gave him a nervous shock, he fell off the ridge, rolled down the roof, and j ; tumbled down upon the banquette, striking i upon the seat of applied learning, lie ; was at once taken to the Charity Hospital i in a carriage, and though badly jarred by 1 the fall, was not seriously hurt.—-A.

A Lady Bitten Lya Rat. —The Charles ton Evening News relates the following, which occurred in that city : On Thursday morning at about 1 o'clock, j a lady residing in South street, next door j south of the Planter's Hotel, was awakened ii m sleep by a great noise in her room made l>y a rat, when she set a small poodle dog that slept at her bedside upon it, which was soon conquered. The lady anxious to escape the apparently infuriated thing, at tempted to jump into bed, ar.d while in the , act the rat quitted his hold upon the dog, and flying at her, seized with his teeth (he sole of her right foot near the two small toes, and inflicted a severe wound. Sim ple remedies were used upon the wound, but Friday morning there was such strong symptoms of Tetanus appearing, (hat Dr. Erazer was sent for, and under his care she is doing we'll, though not entirely out of j dangei yet. Her husband, who is a po liceman, came home about the time she was bitten, and with a stick, succeeded af ter a hard encounter in killing the furious animal, whose body measured 13 inches.

He is reckoned to be the I -MI: rtest and most lucky gambler in the ttry. Few would imagine lliat he is other than what he seems; yet he is only a type of a large class of persons who annu ally assemble at Saratoga, and pass for per sons of the highest respectability.' Frightful Accident. —A distressing acci dent lately occurred in West Ilempfield, Lancaster county, Penna. A Mr. Win. Button, v "',h a waggon load of camp inect im? fixtures, was returning from Mount ie Camp. Three ladies were in the wag on. The horses took fright and ran down a hill with the swiftness of the wind. One of the ladies, Miss Nauman, fell off, struck a st.me, and had her skull broken in, her J tongue split almost in two, and was other wise injure'. Betsy Bowman had her right arm broken just above the wrist, her left arm in two places, and elbow out of j joint, one leg out of joint, nose split in two, and several gashes in her head; and Mr. Button had his upper jaw bone broken in a shocking manner, and received other internal injuries. Nwvr saic a Gold Dollar. —The Phila delphia Inquirer says that not very long since a liberated convict, from the Eastern ! Pennsylvania Penitentiary, went to one of the inspectors to ask fur aid. The official kindly gave him a gold dollar. The ex convict took it, and after gazing for some time with some curiosity, remarked that when he went to prison he had never heard of the existence of a coin of that denomi nation '. Many of the prisoners after their liber ation, learn for the first time of important political and social events which have made great excitement in their day, aid which liave entirely lost their novelty to the world at large.

New Series--Vol. XIV, No. 44. What hr the Free Trade Tolicy cf the Denm. done for the Country. The answei :o this question conies l'rom an English St- tosnian, in such a shape us to make u> blush fhr our country: ' In a debate in the House of Commons, one of the speakers boldly urged, amid repeated cries of 'hear!' 'hear!' that it. would be better for England that her North American Colonies should revolt and 4 join the Tinted States,' which would render them, he said, • more profitable colonics than they are at present.' This gentleman was Sir \V. Molesworth, a distinguished member of Parliament-. He went on to say that ' the United States of America are in a strict signification ot the word, still colonies of Great Britain, as Carthage wa~ a colony of Tyre.' etc. Now our col onies, as i term them, continued Sir Yt if linn, 4 our colonics of the United States arc, in every point of view, more u.-oful to "s ihiiu all others j>ut toactlar. IE then went on to prove this by figures, winding up with the declaration that the vast, magnificent market ui the I nited States only cost Great Britain £l."),000 sterling a year. 4 All other colonial do minions,' said the speaker re govern at a cost of £4,000,000, wl.il. he United States costs us lor consular and diplomatic services not more than £l;>,oC'o a year [h hear!] and not one ship-of-war re quired to protect our trade.' Breekenridge 011 the Stump. John C. "Breckinridge, in reply to tlie •torrent of defamation" poured up n him, last week delivered a speech at Ashland, the home of Henry Clay. 'J he speech : opens with an apology for his appearance, and an allusion to the Union, which was met with great applause. Another apolo i gy for his treatment of Mr. Guthrie is in • troduced, together with a dignified descrip | tion ot the manner in which the nomina tion at Baltimore was forced upon hint, lie waives the question of the regularity ! of the Convention by which 'an eminent citizen of Illinois" was nominated. He thinks that that question has been fully ex i hibited before the American people, but is i of the opinion that it was devoid not only of the spirit of justice, but of the forms of regularity. A very singular sentence, breathing with prophecy, we quote as fol j lows : ' 1 look forward with pleasure to the prospects 1 have of sereiny vutj con it try i>r ' the S< nati of the Lotted States for the neat six years.' He denies having signed a ] etition for the pardon oi old Join, j Brown, and also declares that lie did not i support General Taylor in 1&48, and ex plains his neglect to vote for Cass and But ler by a little hunting anecdote, lie also, 1 in a few misty paragraphs, elaborates bis j popular-sovereignty record, and denies fhy he was committed to that doctrine, lie endeavors to show the inconsistency of Mr i Douglas. The charges of Mr. Douglas, : that the Kcntuckian's party is a disunion > party, the speaker ui. misses in a few haugh ' ty and dictatorial sentences, while he pro ceeds to reply to the criticism of Mr. Crit tenden, in thatstatesman's Louisville speech. This portion of (he address is the most in teresting part of the oration. The speaker thinks there is nothing in his career to jus tify the charge of .Disunion, nor in the ca reer of his colleague, General Lane, to whom lie paid a glowing eulogy, on the •mutual admiration' principle introduced by the General in his Independence Square speech. Mr. Breckinridge thinks the con test one of principle, and to an elaboration of the principle involved—to wit: protec tion for slavery in the Territories —a great er part of the address is devoted. old fellow who had become weary of his life thought he might com mit suicide, but be did not like to go with- O' reiving all his enemies. So cogita ting , ith himself, he at last removed the noose from his neck, saying: 'Mo,'twon't Jo—l can't forgive old Noah for letting the copper head snakes into the ark. 'I be nasty varmints have killed two thousand dollars' worth of my cattle ; and when he and I meets, I know there'll be a general fuss. See if there an't.'
