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,

because they did net sead ,forthem,l Or
because they , will beangry if Ludo them 1"

hrothers present the singular anomaly of
being of all shades of color, from white to

ever, are usually better looking and lighter

European ladies passing through Egypt,
omit no opportunities of visiting the

in their description of the eleganeies they

against the abomination of boxing up such

86rThe grand total of the population of
thu .United States, according to the new
immans, is some 25,64 - 1,607. 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
