'From Russia and Poland we have news of inte rest. Prince Gortschakoff’s replies to the notes of , France, England, Spain,! Sweden,'bnd Italy, have been received. He defines the Czar’s attitude to wards Poland and Europe. The replies to England and France appeared to give satisfaction; but the Xiondon press was of opinion that the one forward led to the Cabinet of St. James was not just as ex plicit with respect to promises of reforms for Po land as was desired. The Paris Motiifhir , of the 6th instant, says: ‘‘lt iB easy to be convinced, upon reading these documents, that they open a path 1o projects of conciliation, and that they contain the bases of negotiations likely to lead to a common understanding between the different courts now seeking the means of upholding the legitimate inte rests of Poland.” In St. Petersburg, conflicts be tween the Absolutists and Progressists have caused .ithe Emperor disquietude. Popular excitement pre vails, and revolutionary plaoards are occasionally found posted in the streets. According to news re ceived at Cracow, May 6, from Lithuania, 4,000 Bas kolinks., schismatic dissentients, armed by the Rus sian Government, in the neighborhood of Dunaburg, are desolating Lithuania with fire and sword.

In a circular on this subject just issued from the medical department to surgeons in. charge of hospitals and on duty in the field, the Sur geon General remarks: “No doubt can exist that-" " more harm has resulted from the misuse of both these agents in the treatment of disease than benefit from their proper administration.” . - Colonel T. B. Thoete, arrived from the Gulf, re ports the great success of the organization of negro troops. The most prejudiced are forced to admit that they form the best material for a fighting army. In Admiral Farragut’s attempts to pass the Vicks burg batteries, one battery, remarkable for precise and effective firing, was manned entirely by negroes. General Banks has found a proclamation of Go vernor Moore ordering the enrollment of the negroes in Alabama. Colonel Thorpe Bays there cannot be a doubt but that throughout the_extreme Southern/ States the rebels are actually engaged in raising negro regiments, for it is only from such material , that they can now recruit their ranks with able bodied men. Gen Djx’s coup de puem in taking possession of West Point has of great advantage to our arms, as it deters the army.from making a foray at Gloucester Point. General Gordon, who is in tem porary command of that post, lias entrenched him self on the peninsula, atretching from, the Matta« pony to the York river, and attached t Q that coinmfry ) l< '‘ ne can make a dash upon the' VVhite any moment. •A bill has been introduced inthe Common Coun cil of St. Louis to repeal the municipal Blave code, which, in the present state of affairs, has become virtually obsolete, and which can never be practi ■cally revived in that city. The Council has full power over this subject, and the bill will no doubt be passed, and St. Louis thus made a free city ! Cheering news from Generals Grant and Hurl > tut has been received by Major General Halleck. The ‘despatches relate General McPherson’s battle at Raymond, the progress on Jackson, and confirm the capture of Jackson. They contain also an import ant report that Vickßburg has been evacuated. . "Major, General C. Hamilton, of Wisconsin, the hero of lulca and Corinth, has resigned. He had been left without a command, being outranked in the aaroe district by Gen. Hurlbut, and he demanded an active command or an acceptance of his resignation.

Colonel Ingalls, of'.Gen, Hooker’s . staff, is in nomination for a brigadiership, on the earnest recommendation of General Hooker. Gene ral Charles Campbell, of Pennsylvania, severely wounded at Bull Run under General Pope, has gone West to receive a separate command in the Indian territory. ■ GenV Pleasonton has issued an order of com mendation to the Bth Pennsylvania Regiment, for a gallant charge;'"’tothel7th Pennsylvania, for rally ing fugitives and supporting hiß batteries; and Maitin’s Battejry and the 6th Regiment of Now York, for gallantry at Ohanceilorville. .The appointment of John Titus, of this State, a 8 ‘ Chief Justice of Utah, vice Kinney, removed, is re garded as an indication of less forbearance than has previously been exercised to the Mormons. The change has been made in consequence of numerous complaints, and at the advice of Gov. Harding. Gen. Sherman orders' all places of amusement in New Orleans to be under supervision of the pro vost marshal general of the Department of the Gulf, all programmes to be submitted to . approval, aud to be interspersed with appropriate national airs. All persons who disturb the entertainments, as laid down inthe programme, will be arrested and punished.

SWic publish to-day Judge Leavitt’s important de* oision refusing the writ .of habeas corpus in the caße of Yalla'ndigham. - ' . England, America, and Ireland. The causeless, absurd, and wicked cry against . America got up in England, not merely by such small fry as Gregory and Roebuck, Lindsay and Horsfall, but by such responsible officials, calling themselves Statesmen, as Russell, and Derby, Glad stone and Malmesbury, appears husked of /late. In the prospect of a war with Russia, .to be waged, not in an out-of-the-way fag >end of the Chersonese, but probably in the 'heart of Europe, it behoved England to take care not to have her hands too full. •The remoter enmity is cushioned—scotched, /not killed—in the alarm of a new and terri ble contest with the Czar. Therefore, and only on this account, the temper of the Bri tish Government has lately been subdued, , and the tone of its journals has been, tem pered down from foul abuse and misrepre sentation to a certain contemptuous tolerance - of-our existence. This modification, .for’ it . scarcely amounts., to actual change, may be until the crisis passes away.' : -England, once relieved from the dread of •jm European war, will naturally fall* back ' into a state of semi-hostility to the United States. “ "Willing to wound, And yet afraid to strike,” would be an appropriate .motto .for England at this moment. Unwilling, ■,because afraid, to incense the British nation by plunging into the horrors and expanse of war, the rulers' of England were compelled by public opinion to . reduce their military force this year, mid also to curtail their costly preparations for building an iron-clad navy. Taxation lias reached the limit of popular endurance in England, and war would aug ment it. Though England may not he able io fight, just now, she can butty. Indeed, no nation, not even -Rome, when haughtiest, more fully merited being described in those lines of Shelley— “ She was a bully to the strong, A tyrant to the weak.” 'The annals of history attest this. Within the last hundred years England has suf fered only four great reverses, and two of these she sustained from this country—the other two, (namely, the Duke of York’s unfortunate campaign in Holland, in 1793- ’94, and the miserable Walcheren expedi tion in 1809, ) were disastrous defeats, it is true, hut one arose from the incompetence of the leader, the other from the absurdity which planned the attack. The pride of England was greatly wounded, early in the reign of Charles 11., (June, 1077 ,) when Ds Witt and Rutter not only swept the English Channel with a besom sur mounting the mainmast of the flag-ship, but actually broke through the defences of the Medway, and burnt the British ships,* and, sailing up the Thames, anchored within sight of the Tower of Loncl on, enfor cing a real blockade of London for weeks. A century later came greater grief than this—the Declaration of American Inde pendence, the successful issue of the war, and the formation of the United States as a nation. That was a hitter albeit whole-: some medicament for England ,to swallow. Ere thirty years had .passed, she provoked us into war, and was again beaten—that time on the ocean, which she claimed as her own peculiar field of fame. These two de feats have rankled in the minds of English politicians and officials, and therefore they sympathize with our enemies. ■ We have pursued a prosperous course, never aggressive, never exacting. We have cultivated the arts of peace. When com pelled to invade Mexico, we paused in the hour of victory, .and ahstained from plunder. Whatever territory we have gained has been by purchase, such as Louisiana from France, Florida from Spain, California from Mexico. We have exercised the widest hospitality to the needy and oppressed of all nations. England, it is true, grants them an asylum, hut rarely admits them into citi zenship, and the popular dislike to “ them furriners” keeps them very much out of em ployment, while .here they obtain citizen ship and employment, and speedily become part and parcel of our people—ready to fight j as the Irish and Germans are fighting, even do-w, in defence of thffOgnstitJZfiGir JawsjjndepY'ij'icirtEey thrive. England cannot forgive, either, that the people whom she has particularly oppressed for centm-ies, fly for a home and freedom and comfort to this country. We have de sired, all along, to live on good terms with all foreign Powers, but when we are pro voked, we do not forget the wrong, and, it we cannot repay it at the time, caiTy it over to the general account-cun’ent. The day may come, perhaps, when England may be' made to repent of her treatment of us since this Rebellion commenced. If there he a skele ton in every house, there is a weak place in every nation. Ours was Slavery. Russia finds that Poland is hers. Surely Ireland, the Poland of the Seas, is the vulnerable point of haughty England. In the event of a war with Great Britain' even so small a force as 20,000 American soldiers, backed with a fleet of a dozen waT-ships, and a few saucy Monitors, would win the inde pendence of Ireland in a three-weeks’ cam paign. If must fight, one day, this con psummation is what England may look for sis •yyg peace with “all the world and thp-'ruot-atjipankind,’’ hut if- England resume her offensivc-HpcßOli and eonduct, it is possible that we may be driven -intojwar.- There'can be no doubt of the issue." ' An Invitation to Murder, The New York World newspaper does not find it incompatilile with th.e dutyir owes to the laws of the land and public decency to write this paragraph: “ The blood that already makes green the springing grass on Virginia and Kentucky hillsides, spilled to protect the Union against traitors, a drop of that which will jlow bn Noiihem soil when the Ameri can people discover that the battle has begun to pre serve the Constitution againßt tyrants.” We could imagine such language from Marat or Hebert in stmie of tile inf a' mous. journals of the French Revolution, but we did not think that an American writer could be found base enough to write'an in centive to blood and massacre. It is about time that such bloodthirsty appeals were stopped. There is nothing easier than an invitation to anarchy and crime, and we hear it too frequently from the city of New York. We protest against it, in the name of the -law and the public peace. The New York Meeting. There was a meeting on Monday evening ■ in New Y ork, at which such men as R ynders and Rankih andalawpaitneT of Mr. Yancey made profane and inflammatory speeches. The style of many of the addresses was such that the reporters refused to report them. Nshdeeis has no reputation out side of New York, except that arising from a suspicions increase of the slave trade during his term of office' as the United States marshal. Hakeem is one of the low est adventurers and demagogues that ever left Philadelphia to find congenial associates among the politicians of the Pewter Mug and the Five Points. Even the Herald va gards the speeches as “reckless denuncia tions of the Government,” and calls .the meeting a “ villainous effort to stir up civil war in New York.” One speaker threatens Mr. Lincoln with assassination, and with oaths, and amid ‘ ‘ laughter and cheers, ’ ’ de fies the provost marshals to execute the laws. New York has suffered many mortifications, hut her whole history does not present a more humiliating scene than that of Mon day evening. We are ashamed of the me tropolis. ' Wisdom. Mr. Charles Ingersoll, with that charming felicity of -language which led him, not long since, to denounce Mr. Lin coln as a “ tyrant and a nightmare,” wrote a letter to the New York meeting, in which he says: “Wishing—without,, however, in the least degree doubting—that it (the meet ingjmay rise to the level of so great an oc casion as that to which you have summoned it, I am, &c.” This reminds us very for cibly of the late Captain Jack Bunsby, mariner, whose form and method of speech bore a cheerful similarity to that of our pon derous fellow-townsman. ' Misß Aima E. Dickinson* Miss Anna E. Dickinson will deliver an address, on Tuesday evening, at the Acade my of Music. Her subject will be, “How Providence is Teaching the Nation.” This is a new address, and it will he delivered in behalf "of a charitable object. This gifted woman will be listened to with great inte rest, on a theme which will command, all her marvellous powers of pathos and elo quence. She is doing a good work for her country, and proposes to give her genius and her time to the cause of charity. A noble woman could not be. engaged in a more noble undertaking.

Her .cargo consists of 1,500 barrels of bread and 1',045 barrels of bacon. The bread and bacon are for the rebel army, and this fact is regarded as an evidence of the great destitu tion at the South, and the Btraitß to which they are reduced. Prizes.

General Meredith. General Meredith has been relieved from the Military Commission, as already stated.

Gen. Vide occupied for over a year, and, mirabile dictu I is not yet in sane, He daily spends five hours of unremitting labor at the custom house, in company with Lieut. Col. Boyer, president of the'military committee. Here these, gentlemen are besieged by faded genti lity, chagrined chivalry,and “whitetrash.” Tn the outer offices can be seed, at any time, your gray haired gentlemen, of the old-sohool aristocracy, the reduced planter who moves about uneasily in un clean homespun, and the delighted negro, his short hair crispy and curly with jollity and good humor. Women are here in abundance—the virago and ter magant ; the would-be; lady but for her tawdry . finery; females with black hair and light-blue eyes and black; n'oßes Greoian and pugs foreheads high . and low. Some are clad in deep mourning, and wear " upon their faceß an expression of deep melancholy; others are pert and insolent, some devilish, malicious, wicked, having red, white and red flowers and ribbons. All these people are applicants for something, many petitioners for assistance. The people - in?.Virginia'? have lived so long and well upon the Government that they still .demand support jjthey without its friendly aid. Many desire passes to go to impossible..places; some there are who urge a, complaint against.Jheir neighbor. - One old man, -while Twas present, inveighed bitterly against some person who had borrowed his axe, and inadvertently forgotten to return it ; while others wish a family to be ejected manuforte from a dwelling, and themselyek. placed in it, and kept in it—forever. In such posi-! tionß, patience should jbe cultivated as luxuriantly as possible; the officers should endeavor to keep 1 perfectly 'cool,.lest, the . milk of human kindness should curdle in their bosioms. . _ The ladies of Norfolk are not so incorrigible since the new order of things has been, instituted.' The expressions of disgust at first manifested toward our" officers are.rare, and the desperate flirting of skirts upon the approach of blue pants has entirely ceased. !' Their wonted impudence has given place to stolid indifference. The majority of those who, were here were relatives of tradesmen and and lived - in quiet ease and statelydignity in : those palmy days when Portsmouth and Norfolk were sthe pleasant’ rendezvous of so many of our naval officers. With --the. hegira.of the rebel army they lost their male friends^;and bade farewell to luxury and dignity. Now, their rneanß of subsistence is exhausted;'the* paper money smuggled to them frounfrieuds.in Rich mond valueless, and whenever,:gold- is sent-them it invariably fnllß into the hands of* Col. Boyer, and is placed in the poor fund, for relieving the wants of the poor of Norfolk. £ : Thus circumstanced, impudence is no longer pos- - sible, depression certain. What & delicate, difficult. ' task it must have been to have ruled so..many spi rited, piquant, fearlesß creatures^whose'very garb and sex rendered them invulnerable, not to mention, the sofieniDg effect a glance from the eye of Venus hath upon grizzled, warlike Mars! «The divine right of beauty,”.aayß Junius, “is the only divine right a man ought to acknowledge, and a pretty wo man the only tyrant he is not authorized to resist.” Shut up'in their houses* the belles of Norfolk can • have plenty of time to meditate upon the past • how they waltzed with the - Admiral, schottished with the General, and laughed at the broken Engliah of some distinguished foreigner. Since then, how times have changed! ; The inost social and pleasant gathering iii Norfolk ' since our supremacy has been acknowledged, was at the house of General Viele last evening. AU the commissioned officers of the 1 73 d Pennsylvania Regiment assembled at an early hour in the large drawing-room, for the purpose of presenting the beautiful cane which I essayed to describe in a for mer letter. Colonel Boyer, on behalf of the regi ment, presented the valuable gift in a frank, soldier ly manner, and in words so well chosen that a mur mur of approbation ran round the room ere the sounds of his voice had died away. He said: General I have been delegated by the officers of jthe 173 d Regiment to. present you a Bmall testi monial of their regard and esteem. It is pleasant to be instrumental in doing honor|to one to whom we all believe honor justly belongs. The token we have selected is a cane made of a‘piece of the old ship Merrimac, rebuilt byrthe usurping rebels—enemies of our common country—and named the Virginia. Upon her great strength was built the Btrong hope of . their so-ealled Government; it was her manifest destiny to sweep from the seas our multitudinous shipping. But Providence, who is always with the - right, sent a Monitor to destroy their Merrimac-and* blighted.their hopes. Nowshelies, a 7 shattered hulk, ' upon the sandy bottom of Elizabeth river; Wc have taken this piece out of her thick-ribbed sides,'and had it fitted up into its presents beautiful orna mental shape; for wc| desire that when old age shall have stolen upon you imperceptibly, you win some times, as you lean upon it for support, think of your pleaeant associations with the donors. Six months you have been our chieftain. Some of us have bad many generals, but none,have deserved such confidence and respect as,you. We do not hold this gift up to the gaze of the world Ibecause of any intrinsic value. Every officer and private soldier in ourregiment yields you their obedience and respect. Even when occupying the position of military Go vernor, you administered justice from well-balanced scales, never swerving from duty. /: ' Your glory has been won on the battle-field. In the war with Mexico you were'there. On the plains of Texas you fought with credit and success. In civil life you areseen standing at thejhead of your adopted profession. When the toosin of war sounded in South Carolina, you sprang boldly from your peace ful station to support your country. Georgia and Carolina know you. You have made your impres sion upon the enemy's strongholds; and' we know, sir, that,-had your advice been followed, many: lives would have been spared,, and millions of treasure saved. For..a time you were/robbed of the honor of bringingtheinveteratefoetoterms. But Providence is just, and when the pen of the historian shall trace the records of that campaign, the name of General Viele will be there astheconqueror of Fort Pulaski; "When we have once more reached our homes, our - efforts crowned : with an honorable and eiiduring peace, the last vestige of insurrection stricken from ourfair land; may you sometimes look and lean upon this staff and think kindly of those who this night have assembled at your house to present you a free-will offering ot : respect and esteem aB our com mander and your social qualities as a gentleman. The General’s response elicted much applause, on account of its relevancy, and when he expressed his attachment to the donors, every eye sparkled with pleasure and satisfaction. - After thanking them with evident sincerity, he divided.the war into three eras, in all of which the Merrimafywas prominent. • She was the first stolen) and was in fact the-beginning of the war; she was also avessel oonstvaeted on a mode .that almost de fied penetration from shot or shell, apd' when Bhe came from the mouth of James river, and afterwards was blown up, that era shduld have been the end of the war.

[Special to the New York Herald. 1 Murfreesboro, May 19. —The eituation here is unchanged. The extension of the rebel left to Wil liamsport has not weakened the heavy infantry force in our immediate front. The three corps of Generals-Polk, Hardee, and Breckinridge are at Guy’s Gap, Wartrace, and Hoover’s Gap, respec tively.- Geneial Polk’s corps consists of Withers’ and Cheatham’s divisions { General Hardee’s, df 'Glat burn and McGowan’s, And General Breckinridge’s of his own old division, under Hardee, Hehn’s, and re inforcements lately received, forming another divi sion, said to be under the command of J. Patton An derson. It is said that Bragg has received reinforcements from other points of three brigades, but it is also as serted that the same troops had gone to aid Vicks burg. The forces alluded to are the brigades of General Churchill, just exchanged, General Gesfc’s, from Charleston, and General Walker’s, from Sa vannah, Certain it is that all their troops passed west on or about May 12. General Wheeler’s rebel cavalry was at McMinn ville on. the 13th, and Colonel Wilder captured : eight of his body guard yesterday, and found docu ments on them.-Bhowing Wheeler’s force to be at McMinnville. . v: General Morgan'has had a quarrel with General Wheeler, and was under arrest, but has been taken, from under Wheeler’s command. The prisoners taken by. Colonel Wilder say that General Morgan moved toward Kentucky, proposing to cross the Cumberland aboye Carthage. There is' a report that he crossed on Friday, but it is not credited. Gen. Wood returns to the command of his old division, instead of of Nashville; hislold troops protesting against his retirement from active command. The Mobile Register of the 15th says: That Gen. Buckner has been assigned to the command of East Tennessee, vice Davis. A story is in circulation that he haß been attempting to cross the Cumber land. It is presumed that forces have been lately thrown into East Tennessee, as Gen. Breckinridge’s rank throws him into the comnfKUd of a division, and it is supposed that the retirement of Davis* troop'Bwaß only the 7th Georgia brigade in the de partment. A despatch in the Atlanta Intelligences- of May 15th says that a fight had taken place at Raymond, Miss., on the 12th inst., in which the rebels, under General Gregg, were beaten with heavy loss. Among the killed was Colonel Gavesick, of tile 10th Tennessee. The newspaper correspondents captured at Vicks burg on the 3d inst., were at Richmond on the I6lh. Income-Tax for 1863. The income tax is imposed upon a certain propor tion of the income of these two classes, viz. r 1. Every person in the United States, and every citizen residing abroad who is in the employment of the Government of the United States. ; \ 2. Every citizen of. the United States residing abroad, and not in the employment of the Govern ment of the United States. Every person in the first class will be taxed at the rate of three per cent, when his or her annual gains, profits, or income exceed $6OO, and do not exceed $lO,OOO. ' Every perron in the first class will be.taxed at the rate of five per cent, when gainß, profits, or income exceed slO,oecy alter the following deduc tions are the gloss amounts returned, (as per_i*werpage 2,) viz: 1. The $5OO allowed by law. 2. Other national,' State, and local taxes assessed for 1862, and paid. 3.

Necessary repairs to property yielding the in come ;or insurance thereon; or pay for hired labo rers; and their subsistence, employed in conducting his business ; or interest on incumbrances upon the property; or all } as the case may be. f . Every person m the second class will be taxed at the rate of five per cent., whatever may be his or her annual gains, profits, or income from property, se curities, and stocks owned in the united States, without other deductions than numbers 2 and 4 above stated. v ■Whenever the taxable income of a resident in the United Statee, ascertained as above, exceeds $lO,OOO, and upon a portion of said amount three per cent, has been withheld by tlie officers of companies, cor porations, and associations, from interest or divi dends therein due him, such income .wifi.ibe subjeot to’a tax of two per cent, additional upon so much thereof as may havefbeen previously subjected to a duty of three per cent/ by-the officers of the com panies, corporations, OTassociationsiiforesaid. But in no case, whether a person is subject to a tax of three or five per cent., is ahigher.rate of tax per cent, to be collected from that portion of income derived, from interest upon notes, bonds, or other securities of the United States. Where a husband and wife live together,.and their taxable income is In.excess of $6OO, they will be en titled to but one deduction of $6OO, that being the average fixed by law as an estimated commutation for the expense of maintaining a family. Where they live apart, by divorce or under contract of sepa ration, they will be taxed separately, and be each entitled to a deduction of $6OO. Xoyalty on the Pacific. Mr. Conness, the newly elected Senator from Cali fornia, and successor to Mr. Latham, has just made, an eloquent speech avowing hi 3 loyalty to the Ad ministration. Mr. Conness said: “ I will draw to a close by saying that I am anx ious and eager to contribute in any and every way, by vote and by act, by labor and by pains, and by life if necessary, ;to the sustaining of this great Go vernment.

ButwhenNew Yorkers .began to feel that the disintegration of the American States was intended to make another empire of the West on the Mississippi, seeking the mouth of that river as the. outlet’of its trade, and that New York Was alto to be left out in the cold, they became aware of whatgwouldbe the terrible: effects'to them of dissolution and disintegration.

THE TYCOON’S GIFT TO. PRESIDENT LINCOLN.—We announced some time since that the Tycoon of Japan had sent a gift to the President of the United States, consisting of a coat of mail. The following is a description of it: An umbrella-like helmet, of fabricated sheets of steel and 'copper, shields the head, while a Vandyke of interwoven silk cord and lacquered net-work falls gracefully upon the shoulders. The out side of the helmet is profusely ornamented with chrlsanthemums of gold, in beautiful open-work, upon black lacquer, with now and then a trimming of purest silver. The visor is of copper, lacquered in scarlet and brown. The arm lets are of the finest copper chain work. The breast plate is of copper, intersected with parallel strips of lacquer, and woven together with delicate wire and golden cord. A sort of kit accompaniee the armor, and, with lacquered leggings grotesquely formed, completes.the set. The President has not yet found it necessary to put on this defensive armor. THE CITY. [for additional city news sue fourth page.] Mysteries of Nature and Revela tick.—An intelligent and appreciative audience assembled at the Weßt Arch-Btreet Presbyterian Church, last evening, to listen to a lecture from the Rev. Dr.v N. L. Rice, of New York, late of St. Louis; The subject was the Mysteries of Nature and Revelation. The speaker remarked that inqui sitiveneßß was characteristic of man : for six, and, as some with reason assert, for sixty thousand years men have searched for truth in every department of knowledge. Y et, none of the sciences are more than three centuries olu, and their results are very meagre. The paucity of the discoveries made is. owing either to their intrinsic difficulty, or to the inefficiency of the instruments employed. The my steries of Nature and of Revelation are those-things which are incomprehensible in their nature; the world is full of things toe high or too deep to be understood. The speaker treated of the various kinds of mysteries in both spheres, the visi ble and the revealed. The first of these i a.existence. The ancients recognized its character in the popular dogma, ex nihild nihil Jit. Animal, mental, and spi ritual life is another mystery ; while a third is the union between matter and mind. .What is it that connects the two 1 The mind can never be volunta rily inert; nor is it visible or divisible. How is it that the body is affected by the mind to so great an extent that we faint and swoon, and even become insane, and eventually, if the malady benot checked, findagloomy end in suicide? Perception is a- mystery. Hume, following the system of . the old philosophers,' committed‘under it the blunder of writing a history of'England before he bad proved the existence of such a country. Pur suing opposite schemes, the sages of France and Germany ran into the bogs of Atheism and Panthe ism.; The existence of moral evil in the world is a fifth my stery, admitted by every school of philosophy and religion. -In former days it was a favorite mode of explanation that this was due to the influence of matter on man. So, to free themselves from this evil, fastings, mortifications of the body, and celi bacy, were resorted to. . The most singular.exempli fication of this fancy was found in the "early Stylites, who, by great abstinence from food, as they became more and more emaciated, feeling themselves rising in moral excellence, gave proof of it to the world by making, their home on the tbps of pillars, which they raised in-height as they attained successive stages of imagined superiority over their dreaded foe —matter. One of the the Stylite, * exalted himself, year by year, until the columa which was his -lonely abode reached the height of sixty-five feet. - A sixth mystery is the manner in which the Divine agency operates-on men.. Dr. Franklin, when he had digested a plan by which he might attain to per fect virtue, sought the help of God to carry it out, thus aeaenting to the truth that God does operate on the,mind. ; Thelastmystery to be mentioned is death. What, is death ? The answer is impossible.* ‘ Were all these mysteries explained, however, the practical effect would amount to nothing, for we could not use,the information imparted. Until we attain the purity and wisdom of angels,* we cannot appreciate these mysteries; were they unfolded to -us.—ln-Beekins imbwledgein the volumes' of Nature" and Revelation, we can . safely iollow only the laws of true gclence. .
