Before we leach the Heavenly tields, Or walk the golden streets." Then let our songs abound, And every tear be dry. We're marching to Immanuel's ground. To fairer worlds on high. One Day Nearer Home.

It sailed along so pleasantly. And all was calm and bright. When, lo! a storm began to rise, The wind blew loud and strong: It blew the clouds across the skies. It blew the waves along— It blew the clouds, Ac." And all but One were sore afraid Of sinking in the deep. His head was on a pillow laid, And He was fast asleep; " Master, we perish I Master, save I" They cried: their Master heard; He rose, rebuked the wind and wave, And stilled them with a word; He rose, Ac. A noble ship, our country dear, Has weathered many a* gale— Yet now a storm beats so severe That many stout hearts quail; But One who rides above tne storm Can save us from all ill; We only wait to hear his voice Commanding •• Peace, be still J" We only wait, Ac. O, Jesus! Master! hear, we paav, Remove the chastening rod ; Let not our foes exulting say, " There is no help in God. From threatening storms preserve our land, Rebuke the winds and waves; And let us one united band, Rejoice in God who saves. And let us, Ac. Sweet Rest in Heaven. Come, brethren, don't grow wearv, But let us journey on: The moments will not tarry : This life will soon be gone. The passing scenes all tell 11s That deatii will surely come; These bodies will soon moulder In the dark and dreary tomb. CHORUS. There is sweet rest in heaven, There is sweet rest in heaven. There is sweet rest, there is sweet rest. There is sweet rest in heaven. Loved ones have gone before us, They beckon us away, O'er aerial plains they're soaring, Blest in eternal day; Be we are in the^rmy. And dare not leave our post; We'll fight until we conquer The foe's most mighty host. Our Captain's gone before us, He kindly calls us home To yonder worlds of glory. And sweetly bids us come. The world, tile flesh, and Satan, Will strive to hedge our way. Bui we'll o'ercome these powers— We'll hourly watch and pray. NATHANIEL KENNEDY'S STOR.ES, N In the Odd Fellows' Hall.

U.S. 5-201 ffMIE Secretary of the Treasury has not yet _|_ given notice of anv intention to with draw this'popular Loan from Sa.e at Par. and until ten days notice is given, the undersign ed, as " General Subscription Agent," will continue to supply the public. The whole amount of the Loan authorized is Five Hundred Millions of Dollars. Near ly Four Hundred Million's ha re already (seen subscribed for, and paid into the Treasury, mostly within the last seven months. 1 lie large demand from abroad, and its rapidly increasing home demand for use as the basis for circulation by National Banking Associ ations now organizing in all parts of the country, will, in a very short period, absorb the balance. Sales have lately ranged from ten to fifteen millions weekly, frequently ex ceeding three millions daily, and as it is well known that the Secretary of the Treasury has ample and unfailing resources in the Du ties on Imports and Internal Revenues, and in the issue of the Interest bearing Legal Tender Treasury Notes, it is almost a certain ty that he will not find it necessary for a long time to come, to seek a market for any other long or perrosu cm Loans. THE INTEREST AND FRINCJFA L OF WHICH AltE FAY A RLE IN GOLD. Prudence and self interest must force the minds of those contemplating the formation ot National Banking Associations, as well as the minds of all who have idle money on their hands, to the prompt conclusion that they should lose no time in subscribing to this most popular Loan. It will soon be be yond their reach, and advance to a handsome premium, as was the result with the "Seven i Thirty" Loan, when it was all sold and could i no longer be subscribed for at par. It is a Six per Cent. Emit, the Interest and ! Principal payable in Coin, thus yielding over j Nine per Cent per annum at the present rule of premium on coin. The Government requires all duties on im ports to be paid in coin ; tbese duties have for a long time past amounted to over a Quar ter of a Million of Dollars daily, a sum near ly three times greater than that required in the payment of the interest of all the s'2o's and other permanent Loans. So that it is hoped that tlie surplus coin in the Treasury, at no distant day, will enable the United States to resume specie payments upon all liabilities. The Loan is called 5 20 from the fact that j whilst the Bonds may run for 20 years yet the Government has a right to pay them off 1 in gold at par, at any time after 5 years, i The Interest is paid half yearly, viz: on the 1 first days of November and May. Subscribers can have Coupon Bonds, which are payable to bearer, and are 550, SIOO, SSOO, and $1000; or Registered Bonds ot the j same denominations, and in addition, SSOOO and SIO,OOO. For Banking purposes and for investments of Trust-monies the Registered Bonds are preferable. These 5-20's cannot be taxed by States, cities, towns or counties, and the Government tax on them is only one and a half per cent., on the amount of income, when the income of the holder exceeds Six Hundred dollars per annum ; all other investments, such as income from Mortgages. Railroad' Stick and Bonds, etc., must pay from 3 to 5 per cent, tax on the income. Banks and bankers throughout the Country will continue to dispose of the Bonds; and ail orders by mail, or otherwise, promptly atten ded to. The inconvenience of a few days' delay in the delivery of the Bonds is unavoidable, the demand being so great; but as interest com* mences from the day of subscription, no loss is occasioned, and every effort is being made to diminish the delay.
