Pentland, of Pittsburg; remarked, when he "was dying.---Mother, an see it great distancel" Doubtless this is the experience, beautifully expressed. of every one comes with a chastened fltith to a calm death-h , d. In his progress'through ordinary life, the vapors that float in the mental atmos phere render the visionimperlect, and he can not see far off ; but as he draws near eternity, the air grows purer, and the light brighter; the vision clearer, and serenity pervades the whole• being; the vista of futurity opens the eyes of the soul : he belailds the gates of heaven, the river of life, its, glad waters kissing the footsteps of the throne of God ; the glories of the new world grow brighter and brighter upon- him. With Stephen, he beholds Jesus at the right hand of his Father; atidas he dwells with rapture on those enlivening sights, the earth and all its scenery grows dim, about him, and like EliNlta 7 B-servaut at -the-gates-of- Damascus, he is instantly env i rotted with troops of angels. conic to take him up over the ever lasting hills, in the chariot of the 41.nd`of Hosts. Ititeresting Facts upon the Eyes & Ears . The organ of vision is considered the most delicate organization in the human frame; yet, many who have been horn blind, have been enabled to see by surgical operations, and the' following is an interesting filet concerning one 4:1 . f that. class. A youth had become 13 years of age, when his eyes were conohed by. sor 7 . fle thought scarlet the - tnost. beautiful color; black was painful. Ile fancied every ob ject touched him: awl he could not distin . tu.sh by sight what he peat ctly w ell knew by for instance, the cat and dog.—W hen his second eye was couched, he remarked that the objects were nut so large in appearance to this, as to the one opened at first. Pictures be consider ed °My pa rt -c.olored surfaces, and a miniature absolutely astonished hint, seeming to hint like putting a bushel into a pint. • Stanley, the organist, and many bliml Musi cians have been the best performers of their time; and a schoolmistress in England could discover that tWo boyS were playing in adistant corner of the room, instead of studying—al though a person using his eyes could not de tect the slightest sound. .Professor Sanderson, who was blind, could in a few moments, tell how many persons were in a mixed 'company, .and of each sex. A Mind French lady could -dance in figure dances, sew and thread her own needle. A blind man in Derbyshire. England. has actually been a surveyor-and planner of roads. his ear guiding him as to distance as ac curately as the eye to others; and the late Jus= tice . Fielding, who was blind, on walking into a room for the first time, after speaking a few voids. said. '"'['his room is about twenty-two feet long, eighteen feet wide and twelve high," all of which was revealed to him with accuracy through the medium of the ear.

It refers undoubtedly to the past, hut it may also be reproduced for the present. There - Was a significance in the circumstances that led to this declaration. The Saviour was about to suffer and die far his belief. • He was ollered up ass sacrifice to a relentless religious proscription. 'lnflamed bigots , demanded his life :upon weak and wicked reasons.

It was in such a frame of mind that, He: was carried forth: .and crucified. . We are told that many clergymen belong to. the secret order of the present day—the "San hedrim" where, political offenders are doomed , unheard, and religious opinions graduated and prescribed upon pain of disfranchiSement. ; , We know that many of them openly encourage these doctrines..and- that - pulpits, front .which should . emanate only calm councils and peace ful_precepts, are now made_ by fanatical clergy men to ring with the prejudices and prissum of fanaticism and the threats - Of excited partisans.

How many of our modern preacher-politicians think of this while bounding ,on the crusade worship God in away that differs- OM their, own,? , Will it be out of ,place if we introduce, for the edification of these reverend ,leaders,, the following -passages from.-the sermon -on the Mount?

"Let your, light so shine before Men that they may see your good works, and glorify you'r Father in heaven." Many instances in the wonderful career of the. Son of God. who dwelt among the lowly .and she poor, and taught "peace on earth" to all mankind, illustrate his adherence to, these truths. Going to 'Jerusalem, on one occasion, he sent some of his disciples forward to a village to prepare supper and lodging. The people. however. fearing that he was going to the temple ofJerusalem, refused to ailoid him the oecessa- ry accommodation,s. This greatly offended the &sondes, who applied to their - Master, asking if they' should not - call .fire from heaven to de stroy such inhospitable people. reproved the intemperate and misguided zeal of his disciples, saying, '.Your zeal is not of God, be 7 cause it is not according to knowledge." flow many of our, political clergy have forgOtten the good SaintiTitan when they rail at Catholics, or raveaOink the peotile of the South, or hurl their anathemas against thoSe who refuse to ac cept their ideas of Bible construction,l That there are numbers of pious and God-fetir ing men in the ranks of the Air erican clergy who deplore and - protest agai this sad pros titution of sacred functions to political purposes, we are grateful to be able to admit. 'f hey see and they feel whither it is tending and where it must end: and they k-now that when the teachers of religion are once fully embarked up on the sea of political, polemics, the decay of national morals will mark also the approach of national dissolution.

At first, the human portion of „the two families were on the best possible terms, but the cats and dogs; ha'ing a 'constientioind antipathy , to - each Other, freqiiently indolgvd in little bickerings. or small acts of Mutual' aggression.

The effect was magical. lialfthe Wilsons im mediately retreated, and the other half seemed to become nerveless. DaddY Hopkins wrench• ed. the tongs from the hand of Wilson, and ferociously demolished the corn broom in the hand of Wilson's mother.
