THE PEARL OP GREAT PRIM-111E1,e Ls a striking beauty and Icesliness in the conciptions which recent converts from heathenism pr superstition, form of Christ and of the Wading truths of the Gospel -- To an oriental mind, especially, the me withers of scripture seem to convey a vi tal meaning which our less imaginative temperament often fails to apprehend. A most beautiful instance of this is furnished in a libido youth lately converted to Christianity at the mission school in Cey-, lon, and who . has openly professed Christ: against the viulent and persistent opposi.' thin of his parents and other relatives.— llis parents had told him that they did not send him to the mission school to get use ful knowledge, and they upbraided him for his defection. To this he replied by letter, as follows : "Six years ago you sent me down to the sea shore 'to gather oysters. Other parents also sent their sons. After gath ering them for a. lung time, and' thinking them only oysters, one named Jesus o. ;zoned my eyes, and made me see that those oysters contained pearls. I said tot myseli, "My parents did not send ma here to seek for pearls ; and perhaps they will be pleased if I take• them ; but what shall Ido t see that they are of price- •' loss ,value ; and shall cast them away, 1 because they did net sead ,forthem,l Or because they , will beangry if Ludo them 1" to Missizioury tto i lhez Itestoviinis ;once observed that it. was a peculiarity of the douverta in • a - seminarYOroonilati, A ,-that thersiremed :prayer -" to corms Tien to Christ."

Some pen down sentences thus given, on slates or boards, held in their laps. Of the higher systems of in struction, principally in the hands of the priesthood in connection with mosques, no reliable information has been collected.— At Litman, the great slave depot, where the government receive a certain number 1 of piasters a head for each one brought from Dongola, Duxfoor, and beyond, I met' time merchants from the interior of Abys sinia—finely formed without,a-singie ne gro feature, with a skin black as ebony,, who wrote with facility—one of them was' so much amused with my hand-cases— gloves—having never before seen any, that he expressed a desire to examine them. lie had never before heard of America —and asked how far off it was.

Gifted with extraordinary powers an you Areobere is something about you moreiteatt tiftd to me than oven your acknowlddgod tsleat t. it is in the generous sensibility of ,heart, Which prompts you, with such nue. quelled disinterestedness and devotion, to sonsecrate God's gifts to the benefit of' our fellow.creatures. In respeetiniimi;toiting hou, tho world is but rendering td lenity of eart and goodness the homage eiterted from oven its selfish wickedness. I thank God, therefore, for your pret3orration; for I would not have the world lose yoOr eiarn .ple. You will not, I ant sure, be displeissed with an old clergyman for saying—.-eheidsh, ea you have done, the unaffected; humility, which adds fresh lustre to your extretOrtfina ry endowments.

This hr not ,ghtutfrom an official statement, note bar ing yet been made out at the Census Office. The increase for the last ten years Is apWarde of be millions and a half. • This is a ',Argo increase; it may warrant an estimate -that the population of the Union in 1860•tfiil ex. coed thirty millions. If immigration goes on proportionately for the next ten ,years— lhakitt, proportionately with the inter seed fitoilities. of intercourse between the United Stated and Europe, and• with the increased attractions which this country must present to the laboring classes abroad—it may be safely estimated that our total popolstion ten gents hence, will considerably tweed thirty millions. • Tho State of New York, with her-popnla tied of '3,099,249—being an increase of 670,828 since 1840—ranks first in the or der of population among the States or the Union. Pennsylvania, nutnbering soMe 2,- 320,000, and showing an increase of 600,- 967, comes next. The increase of pepal i. tion in Pennsylvania for the last ten years has been greater in proportion than that of New York—greater in proportion, even, than that of Ohio, which r.tuke third itt pop uletion, and numbers 1,983,140 Inhabitants —an increase since the census of 1840, of 463,673. Virginia stands fourth in popu lation ; she numbers 1,428,863, and basin creased within ten years 189,663. The greatest relative increase in prtplihttion since 1840 has been in the new /North Wes tern States and in California. From a pop ulation of 31,000, ten yeargago, Wisconsin has risen to 305,000; from 43,000, lowa has increased to 175,000. The relativajn eicaso in California baffles all calculstioni--• Rer population now is estimated at not mush less than 200,000.
