give to Pennsylvania annually $955,833

Live far Something.
Thousands of men breathe, and livo
pass off the stage of life, and are heard of
no more. Why? one were blessed by
t'lem ; none could point to them as the
means of their redemption ; not a line they
wrote, not a word they spoke, could be re
called, and so they perished : their light
went out in darkness, and they were not
remembered more than insects of yester
day. Will you thus live and die, 0 man
immortal? Live for something. Do good,
and 1 .ave bthiud you a monument of virtue,
that tbe storms of time can never destroy.
Write your name by kindness, love, and
mercy, on the hearts of thousands you
come in contact with year by year, and
you will never be forgotten. No ; your
name, jour deeds, will be as legible
on the hearts yon leave behind, as the
stars on the brow of the evening. Good
deeds will shine as brightly on the earth,
ag the stars of heaven. -Dr. Chalmers.
There would be very few dinner parties
if the rule were once made only to iuvite

Telegraph Lines in India.
A line of seventy-two miles of telegraph
has been constructed in India, and it is
proposed now to connect all the important
British possessions in India iu the same
manner, requiring 8800 miles of telegraph
to be built. A different mode of construc
tion has been adopted in that affair. An

only because the quantity is greater, and
tue pressure necessary to sustain tuem s

The principle is the same, females
should support their skirts mainly by the
shoulders.
The hipg of boys and men are constitu-
tionally narrower than those of the female :

and therefore the tlothhi" thus worn re-
quires to tighter to prevent slipping down.

tight dressing. This soft compressible part
of tbe body should bo left eta nataro Kaa
left it unrestrained, untratntneled.
Tie up the bowels of a hu.se, aud how
long could he work r to say nothing of
covering hiin with barrel staves instead of
whalebone, and lacing him up with a cart
rope from shoulder to hips. What re
spectable horse would not balk at the man
ifest infringement of his liberty aud the
laws of his nature; and is man an exception
to physical law ?
But, says the ladies, "Our dresses do
not fed tight." Neither would a ring
placed on a child's finger, and allowed to
remain on until the child was full grown ;
but there would be a groove in that finger,
and in the very bone within it, so that
there would be no room between the ring
and the bone for the flesh and for the cir
culation of the blood. So we get accusto
med to tight dressing, the soft parts of the
body will not grow against hard pressure,
therefore the dress may not feel tight.
We plant ourselves on this point, and
claim that our position cannot be disturbed,
viz : the animal economy, from head to
foot, should never Le dressed in such a
manner as in the least degree to cramp the
freedom of any action of the body or limbs.

Faith in Human Destiny.
There arc in the United States many
exiles from Europe, some who made them
selves such in order to find a free home,
and some compelled to flee because their
unsuccessful efforts to secure freedom to
their native soil made them obnoxious to
the victorious despotism. Yet these men
arc firm in the belief that they will live to
see the tide of affairs in Europe turning.
They look for the casting down of thrones
and the inauguration of equal self-government.
This is their thought by day and
their dream by night For this they will
give their all, whenever a signal which
they can credit is given, that the hoar and
the men are come. With the most of these
men, the spring of action is faith in man
in his capacity for self-government in
his capacity for unlimited progress in his
destiny to attain freedom and happiness.
This never falters, however the prospect
mav darken, the hope be deferred.
It is often objected to evangelical views
of religion that they lower our ideas of
man and of human destiny. Nothing can
be further from the truth. The gospel
recognizes the worth and dignity of our na
ture as no human philosophy ever did. It
does not indeed, shut our eyes to the fact
that it it a fallen and depraved nature a
fact which every race of man has recogni
zed independently of any revelation. Bat
it attaches to the soul a value exceeding
all the riches of the material universe,

Hainan Sacrifices In India
The cruelty of heathenism is strikingly
shown in the facts which Dr. Seudder re-
lates ot the is.hoonds, a tribe in Unssa, a
district of Ilindostan. They arc cultiva-
tors of the soil, and believe that in order
to seenr! an abunGance of provisions they
must sacrifice a man, woman or child, and

The Coal Trade.
A scries of articles, published in the
North American, more particularly in
reference to the prospects of the Schuylkill
Navigation Company, gives an estimate of
the probable increase of the coal trade for
next nine years, based upon the amount
annually brought to market. The follow

Pennsylvania anthracite coal brought to
market every year, from 1820 to the close
of 1851, shows the increase, twenty years

The Methodists in France have held '
their annual conference at Nisnies. The
system of government is to be somewhat
different in its operations than elsewhere.
44 Each district will name two representa
tives, who, with the President aud Secre
tary of the Conference will form tbe sta
tioning committee." It is presumed the
French Methodists have thus organized,
under the advice of the British Conference.
One thousand dollars is to be sent to their
aid by the Methodist Missionary Board of
this country.
