uniformity throughout the church, we recommend your
inloption of certain general principles. en which the
Presbyteries should be constructed.

THE BAPTIST Isl ISSIONARY UNION. The
Fifty-sixth Annual Meeting of the American
Baptist Missionary, Union. commenced its ses
sion-this morning at the First Baptist Church,
of this city, Broad and Arch streets. A large
delegation, filling the edifice, assembled from
different parts of the country. The exercises
commenced at 9 o'clock. A devotional meet
ing was held for one hour, after whioh the
President, Dr. Anderson, of Rochester, New
York, delivered • the opening address. He
spoke of the early romance connected with
our missionaries, when all were excited with
the glow of untried faith in unfulfilled pro
phecy. All were looking for the time when a
nation should be born in a day. But the ro
mance of propagandism and the joy of antici
pation have given plate to the stern reality of
hope deferred, of faith triedin the fires of dis
appointment and delay. He spoke of the dif
ficulties overcome and Ale results achieved,
and urged action for the future.
After his address, various committees on
different business were appointed.
Dr. Murdock ' the Home Secretary, read the
annual report of Lis department, from which
we learn that the receipts for the year were
5200,953 89; the -ex-penditures for the 'same
time had been- 5•220.`4,60 26.- -He -referred, in
fitting terms, to the death of Rev. E. P. Scott,
of Assam : Rev. ,T. L. Douglass, of Burmah:
Mrs. B. M. Bronson, of Assam ; and to Hon.
Heiman Lincoln, Rev. Baron Stow, D. D., and
Rev. L. Tracy, of this country.
Dr. Warren, Foreign Secretary, read an in
tcreSting.retiort On the Work in foreign- lands.
Dr. J. Wlienton Smith---presented -the :fol
lowing :

!deuce of God we are assembled in the same
city—a city whose name suggests a sentiment
to which all Christian hearts respond. Should
it seem desirable to you, we invite a mien
Meeting of an hour, InlWhich to mingle some
words of mutual oonfideuce, and send tip our
united supplications for the extension of our
Redeemer's _Kingdom in the earth.
Should this measure meet your approval, we

This document was accompanied by the fol

The following gentlemen were appointed as
the committee : .T. Wheaton Smith, D. D.,

'em. We mean the measuring worms. They
dangle from the foliage by imperceptible
strings. They crawl from beneath trellises
and iron railings.:—They-needn't tell us that
they love-us—that they do so they practically
show.
They seem to be as inseparable concomitants
ot' the maple as the rose-louse is to the rose.
Just as these bngs - infest whole rows .of roses,
the leaves of any number of .maples are
munched by the measuring worm. The talk
about the birds as their destroyerTS-aliatiffleSS—
SUbjeet for chat. When -the--topic of the
weather is exhausted, people can talk about
the. sparrows.
That the sparrows and other birds are now
subsisting upon these vermin is undoubtedly
true. The diflictiTtV is that the number of the
latter gives the birds a continual surfeit.
When a ferret gets in a rat-hole he instantly
slays every rat that he encounters. He is
their natural enemy. With the bird the case
is different. A measuring worm to a sparrow
is as a giugernut to a child. A French gentle
man, on his first visit to this city, this morn
ing-mad e4is_smile
A worm tickled the nape alas neck. With
an indignant ",' , 'wrc."' he removed the creep
ing insect, gave a shudder of disgust, and
passed on. A moment afterwards his seusi
bility of cuticle received a second shock.
Another worm dropped from his hair to the
lobe of his left ear. This time he was more
emphatic in his demonstrativeness. He not
only anathematized the worm, but also the
deceased William Penn and the living Ameri
can eagle. He acted as if his person had re
ceived, not a mere visitation from an annoy
ing insect. but a national insult from the
American Government. That people couldn't
help laughing at him only intensified the vio•
lence of his wrath. The more angry a for
eigner becomes the less English he remembers,
When we left him the gentleman was as
speechless as a sheep.
To destroy the worms in the sonares is now
impracticable, if not impossible. An attempt
to destroy them upon private rows of trees in
the public streets will only be effective when
others alike interested will do their share of
the work. Our personal experience in that
direction was entirely satisfactory. We
drenched the trees with tobacco water. The
worms vanished. A less careful neighbor de
clined to physic his wormsand our toil proved
love's labor lost.

AN Excl'riNc ItAm —The rowing contest
between the crews of the Quaker City Burge
Club, of this city, and the First Class Naval
Cadets of the Annapolis Academy, takes
place on Friday next, the 27th inst., on the
Severn river, at the latter place. Much in
terest is felt in the result of the rice by the
boating fraternity throughout the country,
and particularly in this city, as the Quaker
City boys, in this contest, are regarded as the
representatives of the whole Schuylkill' Navy.
Both crews are in fine condition, and a most
exciting race may be expected. Harry
..Couter,--- the __champion oarsmanof
America, has been having the Phila
delphia crew, while Blakie train of Har
vard fame, has bad charge of the cadet. The
race is to be pulled in four-oared shell-boats
over a full three-mile course. Mr. John Mc-
Beath, J. E. Reyburn, Frank Wood and C. H.
Adams are the gentlemen who constitute, the
crew of the Quaker City. Parties wishing to
view the race can leave this city on Thursday
night, at 11.30, and return the next night.
Tickets for the round trip are sold at 821 i

in the , fore of tilinoat any gend onticiaz) or

the magic lantern. By this process, as the
iti . reader knows, the sharp

black obtained, and the photographic- light
and-shade suffers from some of — the accidents
to ;which an- oil painting would be liablelf ar
bitrarily treated as a transparency. As pictures,
therefore, the views are of little account,
%be nwe have the chance of seeing them so
mucL more justly in the collections ; the com

the hugeq.refraction of them seen at a dis
tance; that is, they subtend as largo a visual
angle ; this was fully and curiously explained
in Dr. Bohnes's paper on the stereoscope,
published a few years ago in the Atlantic
Monthlg.
For those, however, and there must be
many, who are not much in the way of travel.
ing by photograph, the series must have been
highly enjoyable and improving, while there
is always a comfort in the admitted accuracy
of the pictorial lens. The camera has not
learned to lie, like an artist, in matters of
•draning, except sometimes around the edges
of the convex; its only serious falsehoods are
in matters •of atmospheric perspective, dis
tance, and. So, though the
views each and all assured the spectator that
there is nothing to _breathe .in the Valley, and
that the lovely tenderness visible in ordinary
nature is here a ghastly broken glitter like that
on the slope of a heap of coal, the indulgent
spectators endeavored to convince them
selves that they were watching an adequate
substitute fbr nature, and Something vastly
more dignified and fit - for philosophers than
thaold-diorarna.----Prof: Silhman i -who'--might
not like to be asked to go around the country
as lecturer with the ordinary ribband of
painted scenery, exhibited for his sun-types
the partial fondness usually found in men of
science hsdistinguisheil froth artists. All this
class of gentlemen have yet to learn that the
deceit of the photograph is far more bitter,
and far less educable and docile, than that of
art. The series was much improved by the
profiles and diagrams prepared by the Profes
sor, and by a map of the whole Valley
thrown out at intervals to regulate the ideas
of the imaginary travelers. Prof. Silliman's
running remarks were just what they should
have been,—easy. discursive, off-hand, yet in-
Jorincit and brightened throughout_ by the,
superior wisdom of a man of scienco.
. Prof. Benjamin Silliman is State Chemist of
Connecticut, and tills at Yale the chair of
General and Applied Chemistry. He was
born at New Haven in MG. He is the son of
Prof. Benjamin Sillituau, author of those
" Travels in England, Holland and Scotland,"
published in 1810, which were the delight of
our fathers.
