After reading from some manu scripts or scattered leaves the entire book of Ruth, his literary associates were enraptured with admiration.— They inquired where such an original and matchless production had originat ed; how it came to be known; and they declared that in all their classical readings they had never seen it, nor the like of it, and that such a relic of literature was now destined to immor tality. The reader at length told them that this literary gem could be found in their printed bibles, far back among the unread roeerds of the Jewish judges and kings; and that in neglect ing the ancient chronicles for heathen classics and for modern literature, they bad overlooked the fountain of the pur est learning. It is one of the peculiar excellencies of these ancient Scripture narratives, that their portraits of eharaCter are true to the life and are at once recog nized by the lovers of what is genuine in nature, eveu in the remotest times and °gantries.

The will-o'-the wisp of Kansas has been consigned to a deserved insignificance. The Utah question hak been settled, and the strength of' the Union demonstrated without bloodshed. The Indian tribes have been, in a great measure, brought to reason. A safe route across the con tinent has been establlshod, with a mail running over it. The *llibuster fever has been greatly allayed. And the confidence of the country in our indus trial and financial future has been re vived by the maintenance of the credit of the Government and the prudent conduct of its pecuniary affairs. " In our foreign relations equal tri umphs have been obtained by the Ad ministration. A threatened collision with England was avoided by a course of firmness and energy on the. part of tho Government, and the right of search question put at rest, so far as it can be put at rest by the action of our govern ment alone. We have participated in all the advantage to be obtained iu the opening of China to trade. A wise poli cy of action has been adopted toward the Spanish America► Governments, which has been set forth in General Cass' dispatch to General Lamar in Nicaragua, and will be practically car ried out by the Paraguay expedition.— The rights of the world to a tree transit of the American Isthmus have been vindicated, the Tehuantepec: route opened, that of Nicaragua placed in good train, and the Panama route made secure.
