Its size is 20x40 feet; besides ante rooms, &c., and has a splendid car pet and bearitifufty papered and well lighted. ,Altogether,,it reminds one more of a parlor than of a hall. The lodges ,are in a prosperous condition ; weekly additions are con stantly being made to their already large lists 'of members. - Withl such members as Rev. P. R. Tower and lady, Rev. D. Cook and lady, H. B. Ingham, Esq., MrS. A. Fuller. Mrs. Homer Camp, Mrs. Beaumont, Mr. E. S. Fuller and lady, Mr. C.

Wad? - All nations have looked upWard in their gaze, to a place •of future de light, which they have- called heapen. The savage in the forest has looked across the river of death, and fancied that he could see the smoke of a wig wam, and an abundance of game which he would be allowed to cap ture. The Pagan has imagined heaven somewhere beyond Ole vail, but his conceptions of its joys are vague. Tim Mohammedan expects to roam in Elysian fields, and to be enraptured with immortal choruses forever. All false religions have in spired their votaries with the prom ise of a heaven after death. The heaven for which I am looking and longing, is a scriptural heaven. It is the great metropoli where God re sides ; it is the city where angels 'dwell ; it is the mansion which Jesus has prepared.. My heaver is some where beyond those shining stars, it is above these cloud-topped hills. Heaven will be a land of immortal rettmous Isaiah looked for_ a heaven ,where he could grasp - the hands of loved ones, when he said; " The ansomed •of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion, with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads." Blessed be God! we shall meet agairi; meet, where the faded flowers shall lift their heads and blossom, never More to die ; where that purer Eden shall be robed in green, never to become sear by the autumn of time ; we shall meet where the morning beams are never lost be hind the western sky, but forever flicker upon the hill-tops of the bkst. We shall meet where the sacred bands of affection are never broken. •We shall meet where the father can greet his children ; where the mother can press her offspring to her bosom ; where brother can shake hands with sister; where households renew their relations; and where family groups gather upon the banks of the rive of life. 0, how often does the angel of death take away our little tiny house birds, just as they begin to throw their soft tendrils around our necks, and to make music at the paternal board, and the drifting snow ,hides them from view wider the cold damp grOund By the bedside is an empty crib, th© playthings are catttred about the room, and altogether they form a little castle, deserted and lone ly: Their little being was jorus, the broken circle of their fleeting life was a garlard of sweetest flowerets. But they have faded; the • casket has been laid away in the tomb, and the soul is now an angel-in - the sl4. 0, it is `sad to lay our little ones beneath earth's green coverlets, and yet how many infant souls every day are drift ing from our hearthstones Upon that unknown sea which stretches away beyond the visible. The shore is lined with mothers, crying in angnikh after he babies which have drifted from their arms upon the waters.'-' But we are cheered to remember that ire shall meet them, that we shall take them in our arms, that we shall kiss them and know them in heaven. 0, holy it inspires our hopes in the future, to remember that every lost fondling of earth is an angel in the skies! It is joyous to think, that though these flowers are banished from the earthly Paradise, yet they . shall bloom fra grant and beautiful in the heavenly Paradise forever. Let us visit Green wood, and imagine-that it is summer. It is made pleasant and attractive by everything that art can do. We see written upon a little tombstone "Our Allie !" upon another, " Our lost Mionie !" upon another, " Our de parted Carrie 1" then we remember that all the "Minnies " and " Allies " have gone skyward, and we are com forted. What mockery would it be to plant flowers over the graves of our lost, unless we expected that they would live again! What mockery is it to weep for them, unless:we expect to meet them and to love them be- Jond.the river I But when we think of the reunion above, where, we shall wish all the lost of -earth that love ; God, "good morning!" we are hope, ful and glad. When we can no lon ger take our fondlings upon the knee, to think of the lullaby of heaven dries all our tears and inspires us with ear nest longings for that happy shore. 0, may we all meet where we can sit beneath the rainbow hues of an gelic arcades, and the arbors of heav en, where the land-breezes play, where the woodbine clambers, and the lilacs entwine abOut the golden lattice Let us live for heaven, for immortali ty and the first resurrection. ;Taus' NOT TO APPEXIIANCE.—In Dres den there is an iron, egg, the history of which is something like..this : A, young prince sent an iron egg to a young lady to whom he was betroth ed. She received it in her hands. In her indignation that he should send her such a gift, she cast it to the earth. When it touched the ground, a spring, cunningly hidden in the -egg, opened, and a silver yolk rolled out.

I could fill a column of . the Rtrontma with facts like these. What does, this letter-writer mean by " party interests "?' If he means a little ipfinitesimal sectarian spirit. which savors more I another spirit than that of Jesus and his disciples, he is not far from . the truth. That spirit will "altrays destroy. Union Sunday-school," wherever it' has the power to !ha. so. Of c9tn.65 this is not religion; but it is history. I believe in .church or denomina tional Sunday-schools wherever there is a church, a pastor, and member ship strong anpumerotu3 enough to n sustain such hool. I labor and pray for this blessed consummation in the case of all the• Union or Mission schools with which I have to do. • - I can mention scores of communi ties, well known in this county, which are beyond the reach of any preacher or church of Christ. The Union Sun- - day-school is about all that can care for the souls of the thousands living in these, places. Will ye "destroy that Union ? Then, inasmuch as ye do it unto one of the least of these, ye do it unto Christ. The thrust which this writer aims at a sister Church, concerning the dcctrine of election, is, according Ito Shakspeare, "Thu most uukipdest cut of alt." The bones of Calvin will hereafter suffer no further disturbance. , Requiescat in pace. I engage in no controversy, as such, on any of these topics.

'.GOVERNOR OMB . AT ST. PETERS BURG. The (Jour/ Journal at St. Petersburg gives the following account of the re ception accorded to our distinguished representative, INDIUM; G. CURTIN, by the Emperor, October 27 : " We have already announced that on Wednesday lagt,.Monsieur Curtin, Envoy .Estraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States of America, was received by the Emperor at Winter Palace, and had the honor of presenting to his majesty his credentials. "On this occasicn Monsieur Curtin spoke as follows: "I have the honor to present to your Imperial Majesty the letter of the President of the United States accreditinu me as Envoy INtraordi nary and P Minister Plenipotentiary near the Court of your Majesty. In fulfilling this duty I am charged - by the President to eipress to your Majesty how gratified he is to see continue the relations of peace and friendship Which have so long united the Government of the United States to the Government of your Majesty— and his most earnest hope that these relations may not only.be prolonged, but become more firm and cordial, as both countries shall realize the prog ress which their continental .position• anilrfheir vast material resources so certainly promise them in the near future. In behalf of the Government and people of my country I am happy, in the opportunity to offer the renew ed expression of their admiration'and respect for yotir Majesty, as well as their hope and earnest wishes for the uninterrupted prosperity of a reign illustrated by wisdom, firmness and justice." " To this his Majesty, the Emperor, responded in the most gracious terms, expressing his desire also for the con tinuance of friendly relations between the two countries—'thanking the rep iesentative of the United States for the kind words addressed ,to him personally, and specially . balling at tention to the progressive develop ment of the two countries and the resemblanc,e subsiking between them in this respect."

M A convalescent state, after a &Mi ens illness that lad ' rendered me wholly incapable of mental exertion, I sat in my arm-chair by the fire, while' on the table? near me lay a val. tune of Eugene Sue's Wandering dew; and another containing a portion of the history of the renowned Pante gruel, I had been dreamily turning over the leaves of both, and had been much impressed by ti cliapter in the one last named, that described how Alcofribas (as:Rabelais called self) ascended the giant's outstretch= ed tongue,- and thus entering his' month, - discovered therein n new :world, the inhabitants of which had •the vaguest notions of everything that passed beyond their own-sphere.

The.eyes alone, which were fixed en mine, obeyed the ordinary 'laws of relies-. Lion. Presently, my own arms being folded, the figure extended one of its hands. I-extended a hand .toci, and the fig,ure, slightly inclining forward, grasped it firmly. Instinctively I en deavored to extricate myself, but so far was I from succeeding, that I felt myself pulled towards the glass. The figure, then, was a reality, and a very muscular reality too, forl Could not resist it. Whitl ,, r was Igoing? It was soon evident that there was no glass at all, but an aperture in the wall surrounded by a gilt frame, be hind which was a room precisely cor responding to my own. • The position was alarming. • On—on I was pulled, and fOr a few seconds found myself enveloped in. dakness. I seemed conscious of nothing but vacuity, when suddenly the arilSp ceased, and I was once • More in the light; seated at a table, opposite to a venerable old lady, whose white hair, neatly parted from the middle of the forehead, was sur mounted by the most respectable of caps. She wasabsorbed in the peru sal of a large book, which lay open before her. Not .knowing how I should be received, I refrained from interrupting her studies, and took a leisurly survey of the room. In shape it was a prism. The ceil ing and floor were equilateral trian gles, and the walls were consequently' three in number. The table too, was triangular, so were the seats of the' chairs, each of which had three legs, and a huge bird-cage containing a vulture, was in keeping with the fur niture: Door, window or fire-place, there was none; the only admission to fresh air being . afforded by a trian gular ventilator, immediately under the ceiling. On the few shelves, which broke the monotony of the walls, were - placed some old booki, two or three bottles, and , several knives or daggers -of Oriental fashion. But the most singular'object was a hide ous. Indian idol, like those that rep resent the horrible wife of Siva, which stood in a corner, and before which was a prismatic stone, smelly simi lar in its proportions to the room. "Well, George," said the old lady, pruldeitly raising her eyes from the book, and looking at me full in the face, "so you have condescended to visit me at last:" Though my name is not George, I felt that I was the person addressed, so I began politely to deny the con descension. paoh-hoo ! never mind eotupti - melts. You are here, and that is the great matter. I see you are, rather astonished; but then its very . snug,. and q uite good enough fOr a simple b o dy like me." "Unique in Its structure, at .any rate," I said, endeavoring to -admire. "If am rather curious to low 'how one enters it." "Indeed, I wonder at that, ~when 7ou yourself found your way so read ily," she replied, with a slight laugh. I felt uneasy, for I did not care to describe My passage through the glass, but thy-old lady did not seem anxious for an explanation, since she immediately added, ,"It would not do to have a room too easy of access, when things of this sort are flying about." With these words, she opened a drawer in her table and took out a printed handbill with the formidable heading, "One Hundred Pounds Re ward." This she placed in my hands, and I learned from its contents that a butcher-boy bad been missed by his employers, under circumstances that led to the suspicion of murder, and that the reward was offered for EMI - \ - , . ;-;.- - 4 .. • I Oia - „ the apprehension of the supposed mt.; swum -./ • - "Luckily, he did not live in the neighbor food. But on the whole it is better not to venture beyond beg gars and tickee-fo-leave men." "Venture what?" I enquired.. "Immolation-t'.' Was the reply, ‘,4imn io .—..—"- I faltered. "Then it is your opinion that the unhappy boy was really murdered!" "Really immolt*d? Of course I do. It would be very absurd if I thought other Wise, when I perform ed the sacrifice with my own hands." • "Attrocious wretch !—" I began. - "Hoity-toity 1" interposed the- old lady. • "Don't let ns lose our- tem pers !" And really when looked at her calm face, felt. that wrath was im possible. She Was -some harmless' lunatic, who, owned to crimes she had never committed. "I bore thei boy no ill-will;" she proceed&l, "he was as welllbehaved a lad as one would wish to see. I Would gladly have given the prefer ence to a mischievous little vadabond who rings my bell regularly every Satureay afternoon, in celebration, .1 suppose, of his half-holiday: but - the butcher-boy came handy, add when one can't have what one wants, One must take what one cad get." - "But why mar—that is, immolate anybody ?' I inquired, intending to . -humor Le delusion. "That I can easily explain," shere-i 'plied: "You' have doubtless heard that there is in India a secret sect of devotees, who term t i hemSelves Thugs." • r "I have read of that detestable fra ternity in the Wandering Jew of Eu gene Sue," I responded.. "Your strong expression, at which I take no offence, shims that- you are not unacquainted .with our princi ples. lam a.Thug, and veil the tact by assuming t he name of Thugleigh." It struck me that a thicker veil Might.. have been afforded by the name of Smith'or Brown,. but. I did not interrupt. "I therefore, on principle," she proceeded, "offer at least once a month a human sacrifice. to the God dess Bowanee, whose effigy you see in that corner." "I would rather not have known this circumstance," said I. "Indeed' as your society is, as you say, secret, itleems to me you break your rules by making me your Confident"- . "Not at all," she remarked, smil: ing. "I am convinced that my secret will not go any further." "You have a high Opinion of m y discretion," I rejoined, endeavoring to look flattered. "I have no opinion -whatever on the subject," she calmly remarked. "For all I know to the contrary, you may be the veriest chatter-box in the uni verse. 'But of this I am sure, that dead men tell no tales, and I have selected ybu for the next victim. Now don't be alarmed. If you 'do not like it, you shall not suffer any pain." (While talking thus She advanced towards a 'shelf.) It : Would, indeed > , be more regular to strangle you with a white scartor to slay you with. one of these knives; but as-you area vic tim of a superior order, I can afford to dispense with extreme formalities, and allow you to swallow the con tents of the little vial I now placb in your hands.", " Poison ?" i I inquired,,with horror, " Yes," she answered, "and of so efficaciouS a kind 'that it will extin guish life in a moment, Without the . slightest fain or inconvenience. When you have expired,, your body will be conveyed through this aper ture; through which many --eh, how many !—`have passed before." With this she touched a spring, whereupon the idol sunk behind the : stone, and exhibited a hideous face, painted on .. the wall, with a wide Mouth opening on darkness. _ • Horror gave place to iudigation. " This i!4 all very well, madame," said I; "but if you are a . lunatic,l am: not bound on that account to swal low poison, and to ,be put out of bight like gi posted letter." • "Resistance is useless," she said, drawing forth a revolver and point ing it full-in any' face. "This might hurt you, whereas the vial causes no Suffering. whatever. You had better choose the latter." . • had never ~realized till' that mo ment the feelings of Fair Hansa- mond. : " And when," she proceeded, "the goddess grows impatient, the jaws of her, provider are more extended." This was the • fact, and I was in spired with a sudden resolution. One road of escape was not Obious, and, in a lit of desperation, I leaped into the open month, head foremost, like a harlequin. • Again a few .momenta of darkness, during which I heard a shriek of female rage, and when this had pas sed, I found myself in a , neat little study, looking at a slim gentleman, trimly dressed, and especially remar kable for the perfect arrangement of hair. He seemed to be rather star- tled. "Well, James," he said, "you need not have taken me unawares like this. I did not so much-as hear you knock." My name is not - James ; but re joiced as I was to find myself in a room where the image of Bowanee was not part of the furniture, I did not.deemlt expedient to correct the error. Indeed, I was beginning• to stammer out an apology, when he fortunately prevented me by saying, quickly: "No matter—no matter. lam on ly too •happy to show you the sue cedßiful result of my, little experi ments." I expressed, in turn; my happiness at the proposed instruction. He pro ceeded thus: " The greatest diseovvies in prac tical science often, as you are aware, have a comparatively childish begin:. ning. The steam engine itself was, in its earliest form, a toy; and it was by meats of a boy's kite that Frank lin drew the electric spark from the clouds. I ltve devoted myself to bubbles. You smile."
