I had feared that Mr. Lyons -he called away from this station to Sook it Ghu. rub, as he has a good deal of headache and pain in his eyes here in Tripoli. But Dr. Van Dyck.sid that Tripoli is as good a place as he can hoat c hi t „ heAlth t and it seemed mare iiiijable Mc.. Bliss the Seminary, as A eth; his -foYhei• iiitfe,h, very near fo the Sook. Since our return to Tripoli, I have been chiefly busied in looking for &house. I never entered upon a more difficult task. The Moslem month Moharran is the time for renting houses, and that comes in the seftittt .i sti. dist, it not eray to find a house now which a Joe ff_s to lite in. Tripoli is a damp city, and rooms on the first floor are not fit anything but store rooms or stables. Rents, too, are now so high „that we cannot afford to get a house Which is pleasant and comkortable. It is now oar plan to get a house for one year, and in the Medi_ seewehottve. In a de sirable 'trefoil bf ate Rt. iffitt liefree tee , left Beirut, the American Steam Frigate "Wabash" arrived, and we had-the opportu nit), offered us by the Consul, Mr. Johnson, to go on board. We enjoyed it greatly. It is no small ,thin for s to lee 000 Ameri. cans on such a mainiagi frixlel. In Cop stantinople the Sultan went on board, and the Pasha qßeirut was on board at the same time with ourselies and the- immense can nons were fired in his honor while we were on board. We met the Admiral La Valette and the Captain. Mr. Barron. beside+ many of the officers. The Admiral intended to in vite C. to take passage in the Wabish for Tripoli, but did not reach' Mr. Ford's house to give her the invitation until after we had taken our depirture Con the Austrian Steamer. He expressed his tegteti to the Consul, who was also much disappointed in not,heing able to do us the very - great favor. When we heard of the invitation through our Beirut letters, we thought it, all things considered, better, that we should have come in a quiet way, rs'ser than amid the booming bi can. non. On Wednesday of this Week, however, the " Wabash" came to visit us here in Trip oli, arriving at 2 p. in., and leaving the same' 'night. We all went on beard, returning at ter dark two miles to the sh"re, and a mile and a liElf on our animals from _the Meena. Our patriotism was considerably aroused.— The:Admiral promised to come next summer• and go to the Cedars of Lebanon. Several bf the officers came ashore and I acted as their interpreter ts•ith the City Governor.— They brought a letter from the Pasha of Bei- • -rut, which the Governor received with great obsequiousness. His excellency at once de cided to go on board the vessel although it was nearly night. He was so. amazed by the immense size of the guns, the smallest being 70 pounders, that be was almost dumb. I hope that he received some salutitry impres. sions. Yaniii presented to the Admiral a beautiful Girelie, a Syrian partridge, two. baskets of film, (oranges and lemons,) and several beautiful sponges, two of them on I stones, like those you have at home. Yanci was delighted with the vessel. Yet when looking at it, as he told me afterwards, he was filled- with awe. "What," thought he, "can maw tniike such a magnificent structure as this? What then must be the magnifi cence of the place which God ha" • fitted up for the abode of his children ? This is a hu. man structure. What will we say when we see the house not made with hands 1" He also told me that be hardly slept - that night, on account of the burden on his mind. • lIIESECE3I Yanni has been greatly persecuted and fed in various ways. Yet during almost the whole night he lay awake, praying that the Lord would not give him over to the influ ence of success and pleasure and leave been to have his portion ; n this world. He-pray ed the Lord - to take away all Otis earthly joys if-his name might but be written in thaw?* oflife: He 'seems most deeply conscientialm, and sensitive to the inroads of sinful thOught in Lis heart, and I leaned much -from mv conversations with him.

Imes long to sit with you sn hour, and.talk about those things which so nearly concern us both. I urge you with all my heart to be faithful to your fellow-students on this im. iihttlfit sttlfjent of foreign Missions. I regret that I did not do that. 1 efiftnot but feel tlutt there are many young men in America who ought to he in a foreign land. Four years ago, the Syrian Mission applied to the Board for strong reinforcements. Brother Tons, Bro. Aiken, Bro. Bliss, and myself, were sent in answer to the call. Since that time, - Mr. Whiting, Dr. Smith, and Mrs. Ai ken hate died. Mr. Aiken has gone home in feeble health not expecting to return. Several of the brethren are in- danger of breaking down - 13111m we have help. Only two stations hitt More than one laborer, and there should, be twb at Sidon, Rims, and Deir El Komr. From what I see in the Missionary Herald, I conclude that we are - in no more need of men than many other Missions. Who, then, will fill the breaches in Ziob's outposts I,- If the Church distributes her watchmen so sparsely over the earth, it will be many, many years before they will "see eye to eye." Ido not think that you can exagger ate the importance of the Foreign Missions• ry work. I hold it to be the duty of every theological student to take-itp this question seriously and thoroughly and either decide to stay at home, or go abroad on such grounds as will satisfy_ the people thong whom he labors that he is in earnest when be urges them to the duty of personal consecration ,to- ' the cause of Missions. Many ministers have well nigh sealed their own bps on the subject of Foreign Missions, by not. being able to renders satisfactory , reason why they did not' themselves go abroad. The cause of Miw. pions will not sufrer if the.young-men in our Seminaries will examine the subject thought fully and prayerfully.. I remember well how some fellow-students of mine in the Semina ry had never dreamed of such a thin(' e as their own personal obligations to the hfls hionary work, and when the question came ben re their minds they lay awake whole nights, 'wrestling ifi prayer to God to give them guidance: It is no easy matter for a young mato° give up home and rriends and cherished plans, and when the question comes at first before his mind, it produces a ,struggle.. God grant that there may be Many such struggles among your fellow-stu dents and many decisionsto go far hence un to the gentiles. • Teirmsr, Nov. o.=—Yesterday the City Governor called upon us. Ile is rather childiah'in his ways, and we entertained' him very much as we would entertain a child in America. We 'hewed him Daguerreotypes and picture books, a microscope, toy loco. motive, a leaf Of the Bible for the blind, maps of thororld, a picture Of the new Capitol at Washington, and a large Bible bound in mo rocco with gilt edges, all of which he looked upcin iirith - ainatenent. ' His remarks were smelling enough. He wanted to know if he migift bring Mufti and Nadi, the religious and judicial beadsof the Mohammedans in the city, to see the sights. and we told bim certainly, we would be very glad to see them. Man y of these people are like grown up children in intellect, but they are mature enough in iniquit. Iris Sabbath (7th of Nov.) I preached fbr the hist , time in the new Chapel /dr. Ly• - ons'prestilied the two previous Babbstbs.— The chapel la aitsitiod in one of the prin cipal streets, and the people say is is like *fisherman's net, fur it catches every body who j a was si za. The conveyance is dost ddre is t ar crowd around dlc door, any in and Simisy iren about allmotir their seats, and the attention. was good. I preached from GaL 6, 14: "God forbid that I s hould Omit, save in Pm cross of our Lord Jesus Chetst, l4 I had the heads written out, Ght preached extempore, and succeeded bet ter than I anticipated. We.are now waiting for the curtain which is probably on its way from Boston to Smyrna. At present no Arab women come, or at most only a few, bur when the curtain is up, women can come and be,ettirlded - from the gap of the men. We are very thankful that we have so good a room for religions worship. It looks as though it was originally built for ;:s Church, although it wasfirst a store, and then a.grng shop. We are obliged to preach in very simple lan guage, as the. majority of the people cannot undefsfand the classic Arabic, and in reading the scriptures tte are ttbliged to explain caret fully the meaning. ! trust that the Telling of our Chapel will prove a dawning of a net" day in-Tripoli. . 'Vhe Greek Bishop pronounces hit anathe 7 may against es regularly, and many are kept away, fait some persist in coming, and we pray that their number May be increased.— Will t'chi not ale pray that men they he inclined to come in the Sanctuary and listen to the word of Life? It will.bs hard work fOr us to sustain a preaching service regular ly. I feel my own wenknexs in the Arabic, and every sermon requires hard study ; yet I am fit gond health, and'we hope for auceesa and. roftifort, fit preaching the gospel of Christ:. Ite 'have not yet succeeded in getting house, and the pioepect is not very bright. I shall probably have to bite three thousand piastres a year, or one hundred and twenty dollars, nn enormous rent for Tripn. li.i r et rranks are attains in, and every:, thing ht h?glt. At titres my patience bast been weii high e4hatistecl ift talking with men whose only object seems tq tie to defraud us as much qs possible, and the fitisehotal niche people is amazing, even to one wha expect's nothing else. Yanni says that he expects Trill ttt be destroyed some day as were Sodom and tiotttertfait . WEDNESDAY, NOV. its..—Meterryi a, m., 79g., p. m., 75g.—A French Steamef is im the harbor this morning. A muleteer comes from Hums, bringing letters from Mr. Wil son. Two great Arab tribes, the Nowalee, and the padadee have-had a, battle just out side of ie Batt . Mi. Wilson witnessed the battle. Viff: tfo'italce were beaten. The villages about Hums afe hting plundered, and the people are flying to the City..to get protection within the walls. Mr. Wilson well remarks - that it is well for the Sulfates government.that these wild denizens of the &Sift tntefttl thelr , strength in fight ing each• other rather theft 111 rtttelling against the Government. The troops of the Pasha of Beirut which passed through here some days since, are-voir among the iinsaireeyeh, teying to find and kill lam:seen Khire flee, who was Govei-nor of Safeta, and who had the Pattie near Tripoli in June. The only charge Lean liettf Of as being made against him is that he is not a hiosfelft NH will not pay bribes enough to the Government, &man, Nov. 14.—This morning Leba non was covered with snow. I conducted the Arabic Bible class and Lorenzo preached. Our coligttgatiotri vary greatly. Sometimes there are sixty rind tsetttrefittfes twenty, and new faces are.eonstantly seen, but, Nigs, there does not seem to be a spirit of candid, earnest inquiry., Men heat and go away seemingly unaffected. Yet, this preaching of the Gos• pel is the appointed means for the conversion - of the world, and we shall go on thankfully proclaiming the truth and pray ing.for a bles sing. I believe that there Is good in store for this land of darknesi. TVINIDAT, Nov. 10.—In Beirut almost ev ery one is sick—Dr. Van Dyck, Mr. - Ford, and his son fldthert, Miss Johnson, and many of the natives. The - Autiiiiitt-hes been refs hot, and last week the sudden change mit& many people sick. Tripoli is quite healthy now, and we hope by. prudence to preserve ourselves from undue exposure. We hear tr-day that Ismaeen Khire Beg the Ansairy Chieftain, has been slain by his own mother s brother. 11.4maeep fled from the Turkish Pa sha who came after him, and took all his goods, household furniture, and Valua ble-s, on five orix€: hundred mules to the Northward. While stopping at a village named "Ain Keroom," one of his party.died, and the funeral was attended et once. IVhile they were weeping at the funeral, the uncle of Ismaeen approached, and asked why they were weeping? "We are weeping for the dead," said lammed. " Who will weep when you are dead," said the uncle, and drawing his pistol, shot istnaeen through the heart.-..- He fell, and as he was expiring, plead with his uncle to take care of his son. The ruf fianly, heartless uncle seized the buy and shot him before his dying father's eyes, and then-seized all his property. and his *ire whom he made his own wife at once. The Turkish Pasha, who wished to take Ismaeen alive, has seized the uncle, but, will not prob ably inflict any punishment upon hint. One can hardly conceive a more brutal 'act, yet such things areton ftequent to be noticed In this land. This man whb was killed has mitt', mated deeds during the last few months which will hardly bear recording. He seiz ed restless subjects, burned out their eyes, ent oft their ears and noses, and flayed-them alive. Truly the dark places of the earth - are full of the habitations of cruelty. The - physical miseries of the unevangelized nations are surely enough to awaken the sympathies of philanthropists in every land. THURSDAY. Nov. 18.—We 'have letters again from Hams. There has been another battle between the Arab tribes. This NOWS lee who wefe beaten in the first battle - sent to ,to theAcetawileh Sheiks of Baalbec for help. The Metswikhs enme with a large force and joined the ?Townley against the Hadadee but the liadadee routed them both,, and about llfiy were killed. Zano, the muleteer who is our letter carrier, lives in a village only five minutes distant froth the Bums gates, and vet through fear be has removed his family and property into the city. Bums is' in a barbarous region. Tripoli is civilized in cotokim with it. Mannsv, 22.—Toley we have been writ. leg and Studying, and 1 have been oat among the peoos.

They wondered at the very thought of such a stupendous distance, and asked me what I came here for, leaving alLmy friends behind. I spent half an hour in talking about Chriit, and several Moslems were in the crowd. You can hardly conceive the ignor ance and -mental vacuity of such men as these. Yours, &c. LETTER PROM REV. J. L LYONS TRIPOLI, Syria, NOT, 8 , 1858 PARIENTe :—I wrote you from Bei. rut, October 4th, since which time we have heard nothing from you. • I will (however write you a brief journal, oithe Incidents that have occurred since 1 lest wrote- After mailing my letter on the morning of October 4th, I left Beirut, in company with Messrs. Ford , ned Hurter, and ascended the mount ain. ;We dined with Mr. Ford's family, at their mohntain retreat, in Abeih, and reached Abeili before sunset. We found ismst of the missionaries already tetsemblf.d there; and accordingly in the evening we commenced our trill -annual meeting. Our meeting con tinue through the two succeeding days,-clos leg Wednesday eve. We had ,a •long dis cussion about removing me to Silk el Gharb, to superintend the female Seminary. It was finally, concluded that, in the present aspect of the missionary work in Tripoli, it would he tin Wise to disturb that station, so that Henry and I are left to enjoy each other's society for some time longer, and I hope it will be a good while longer, before any oth er attempts are made to break up our pres• cat connection. In Abeih I formed the ne quaintimee of our newly arrived missionary sisters, Misses Temple and Johnson, who have come out to teach the female Seminary. Thursday morning I rode with brothers Hur ter and Benton to Bhsmdoon, where we din. ed, and after dinner, brother Henry andfnny. self descended the plain and reached - Beirut about sunset. ritTRAT MORNING, OCT. 9th.—Set out for Tripoli, alone, on'horse-back ; reached home the next at noon. I should like to have made a longer visit among our missionary friends, but as my family were alone, I was anilotm to get back, and besides, as Henry wished to fatty same time longer in Abeih and Beirut, in order to take daguerreotypes of the missionary children, it was quite nec essary that I should, return immediately, for our station had been left to itself nearly all simmer, ohr new Chapel was yet unfinished; and titffl ittle enugregation scattered as sheep without a shepherd. OCTOBER 16.—The last two or three days I have been busy auperintending the carpen ters, who have been making new seats for the Chapel. They require constant caper t Won. In two or three instances, during, to temporary absence from the building, they committed each groat blunders, that WIN obliged to make time tear apibeir work and do•it'all over again. OCTOBER 22.—Since Wednesday I have suffered a good deal from headachi,so that it has been difficult for me to oversee the work hr the Chapel, and still More difficult for Me to prepare my sermon for the opening of the Church next Sabbath. To-day lam better. The carpenters have finished their work ; and 1 have been able to spend - some time in study. ()crown 24.—This afternoon preached m..t. first sermon in our new Chapel, from the text, I. For f am determined to know nothing among, you, say% Jeans Christ and him cruci fied." Had en audience of about 60 per son., mostly Greek Christians, and Nome IMonleme. They were attentive through the whole service. To-day was a day of great Irejoicing to my- soul, and devout gratitude Ito Clod. 1 pray that our new houses may 'yet be filled with many anxious inquirers af ter the truth, and that It may- prove the 'gate of heaven to many souls. "Otironia 31.—Sabbath. Henry conduct 'ed the bible. elans this forenoon. I preached in the afternoon to Aft audience of twenty or . t „ iorty persons, mainly dreeks 1 a very good number, considering the fact" that in the ,Greek church this morning. excommunication 'was threatened against any of its members who should attend Protestant service. Quite number of persons came and stood 'in the door a few minutes and then Vett ont,, a, though afraid to remain. During the first Part of the service there was quite a strea Of persons, coming into the entry, hearing r i few words and then going out. But the'- . number who *sated thetnseltes, and remain ed through the service, Was as I havis said about twenty-five. WEDNESDAY Nov. 3.--To-day - all our lat ent patriotism was aroused by the appeat /ince in our harbor of the splendid American Wet steamer " Wabash." As soon as we >}al4ll approaching in the distance, Henry, Yanni, and myself, saddled our horses and 'rain do* nto the Mena. One of 'the Lieu tenants and the physician of the ship came can shore with a lettee for the Governor, from the Pasha of Beirut. Henry'and Yen. ni went with them to Tripoli, while I pro eured A boat and went to the ship, which Was anchored about a mile from the shore 1 took tesu a letter from the Lieutenant in artier to obtain pteftlisslon for the people to go on board and gratify their curiosity in friokinp at one of theTargest war frigates in the world. 1 was very courteously received fiy tfle officers; permission was given for the people to come, and whole boat loads of them availed themselves of the privilege. A salute of 21 guns was fired for the town, Which the natives in their simplicity suppos ed was for me! The Ist Lieutenant, who took me all over the vessel and explained to Me all its arrangements, informed me that l 0 panda of powder were used at each dis- Cliarge,.in - all 210 pounds of poider, costing nbout $5O, fur one salute. The cannons are 4f immense calibre throwing tells of Nibs. ;tett.

The officers took the la:: dies'in charge, and for sober folks like our selves we had quite. a gay time promenading the decks amid the glitter ,of long rows of bright lamps, glistening muskets, and bur nished steel, while our ears were regaled by the lively national airs played by the fine band in attendance. We tarried , but an,h after dark, and as we pushed-oft in our little native boat, the hand struck up "Hail Co. lumbia,'? which thrilledsour very hearts, and brought back all the fond memories of be loved Fatherland. Oar, Arab 'companions, who of course - could understand nothing of the patriltie emotion!, that welled up within us, expressed their gratification by shoting and tittering the prayer that God would bring hack the noble firigate at no distant day to their shores. And indeed the Commodore promised us that he would return early next sommer,and tarry long enough fdaecomplish a visit to the cedars of Lebanon. The Mace donian, another ship of the Mediterranean squadron, is expected herein a few days. The appearance of such vessels on •fhe coast cannot fail to produce a good impression lip. on the people in the present disturbed state of the country. - * NOVEMBER S.—Henry preached yesterday (Sabbath) in the aape.j. We had a good audience, and though some went out, most of them remained and liatened attentively.- We cannot be too thankful to God that we have to pleasant and eligible a pla - ce for pub. lic.worship. This afternoon the Governor of the city called'on us at our house.. It is the first time in his life he ever ealled n on a mis. sionary.

The sight of a flea, magnified in this microscope, astonished - him almost beyond measure. This Moslem gov. ernor, - after having visited the American frig ate Wabash and seen the American curiosi ties at our house and especially a Syrian flea in an American microscope, seems to have his ideas respecting the power and reaaurces of our country greatly expanded and senlarg. ed.

RALF AN HOUR IA TOO =ON TO LOBE. - Hair an hour is too much to lose," said an intelligent and refined young lady, one evening, as she resumed her work, which she had neatly folded and laid aside—supposing it was nine o'clock, when it was only hall past eight. "Half an hour is too much to lose," was the simple, unpremeditated ex pression; which fell from her lips, and found a lodgment in our hearis;.lind, though it might not hiCve been remembered by her be. yond the evening on which it was littered, still hundreds of times have its silvery notes soundid in Par ears, with all the freshness of its first salutation; and, though' the voice that gave it utterance is silent, those hands that so diligently „plied the needle that even ing have long been folded in the embrace of death, and The flowers have for years blos. somed o'er the grave of that loved_ one, still that voice, as. if coming up - from the silent tomb, has again and again re-echoed in our ears as we journeyed along the pathway bf life, "half an hour is too much to lose." Yes, half an hour of God-given time is indeed too much to lose. We cannot afford to lose it. Ourcriends and the world at large t esnnot af ford that we should sustain the loss; for, as the wave of influence dies not upon the shores of time, but itiwnlted onward to the "Spirit lAA," so the moments' that we lose are not only lost to us but to our fellow beings to the latest posterity .of earth. ' What dunk ye of it, fellow-students in the School of life?

My remark that the people hen rnve some erroneous notions about the School Law and County Superintendent, will answer not only for this latitude, but for some' ad joining localities. Although Susquehanna County has taken high ground in regard to these matters, there has been, within its'at its, and still is , good deal of groinbli ,--- * 11 11 and I believe some efforts have been ado to change the School Law, and do Sway irith the office of County Superinten4nt.

A year ago last summer a drunken man fell cent the same place, and it didn't kill him either. It seems to me rather. commendable when any one breaks off from a bad lial3lt e for ex: ample such a one as chewing tobacco, but now and then it happens that a bad habit] is broken up " nolens instead of " volens." A = little experience on this point, lust related to me by one of uncle Jesse's sous, quite.ana ed tne. He was at a party somewhere, list Fair-night, and New-Years' morning, stared afoot and alone, about 3 o'clock, with fish bait, hooks, axe and " tilt-ups," to catch pick- 3 erel, in. a lake some 6 Miles distant. Justl at day-break he had the holes cut thro' the ice, - and all hie hooks set—and now anxiouly waiting for a bite, he takes a big quid of to bacco. Soon one of the rqOat distant tilt-tx 3a begins to bob up and down, lively, &awl. g that there is a big fish on the hook. "Avr:y . he starts for it, at full speed, when sudde ly he finds himself slipping through an old fi.h hole into water 20 .feet deep. The suddin ness of this cold plunge bath, caused him to gasp, for breath, and in so doing, he swan*. ed a large amount of tobacco juice, -wh i ch nearly strangled him. By a fiesperate-eff rt he made out to save himself and the fish e was after, when he was forced to lie down on the ice: and such a rendering up of ac. counts as followed ! He avers that he w never in his-life so deathly sick, and at tic t, he doubted Byer being able to get off thei . The tobacco, - however, soon spent most of i force, as an emetic, and in so doitig, t k away all appetite for the vileweed—le as s he can't chew any more of it. I think it would be well for all who ale confirmed in this vile habit, to swallow, a dd coction of the weed, and the prescription is gratis. = Our Singing School Is progressing fieely-r -having grown cautious, it, is sometime . sini I went through the "ice" I was pleased , the other morning when I 1 I handed my friend B. a letter—on opening it., he found a small note, from a little boy in Minnesota, to-whom he had sent some b00k4..
