Advices bythe Arabia state, that the Span fish revolution Was still triumphant. The in ssurgents Were awaiting the arrival of Espartoro at liraica, to form a ministry. The fighting 'had ceased, and the country was qtliet. Enlace 'and 'England are reported to favor a ministry 'under Espartoro, but to disappTove or a regen v.. There is no now of any importance from the sent of war. The Czar will not abate his pretensions, and has given a haughty and un favorable reply to the final summons of Aus tile. Prussia is discovering less and less dis position to side with the Western Powers. There has been no fighting since the last des patches. Omer Paella has proclaimed an. am- nesty to the Walleohians. Bonaparte and son, of Baltimore, were being received in France '" with all the honors of Princes of the Imperial i'smily. The returns from North Carolina do not look so favorable for a Whig victory as those first coming to hand indicated. The Whigs have gained largely on the.popular vote, but it is not 'probable the gain is sufficient to elect Dockery. The legislature is more doubtful, as the last legislature was a tie, and in the present con test both parties have lost and gained. The • chances aro apparently in favor of a Democrat io•majoriy, though nothing is yet certain. A mong the Whigs elected to the State Senate, we obserie the names of the Hon. William A. Graham, late Whig candidate for the Vice Pres ' idency, the Hon. Kenneth, Rayner, a distin guished 15'hig member of Congress in former years, and the Hon. D. M. Barringer, Sr., our Minister to Spain. Captain Smith, 'who shot the negro at Grey town, and whom Mr. Borland protected against ' 'arrest for the crime on the ground that he was an American, is now said by William L. Mil ler, of New York, who ts on board of the steamer at the time, to eno American, but a arms between the Portuguese and tie African, mid that he looks as much like a negro as the man he shot. The Cincinnati Murderer who caused the death of Mr. and Mrs. Allison by a torpedo was recently said to have been discov ered hi the person of Dr. Ward, of Illinois. Dr. Ward, it now appears, is not the man, and was falsely accused upon the most ridiculous grounds by two persons who were anxious to get the reward. A handbill, captaining what purported to he an affidavit in due form, sign ed by a young female, and charging Bishop O'Connor and the Catholic priests and nuns of Allegheny City witlilhe most atrocious crimes, _. committed-in. seoret,- under cover-of the-sane-- - tity of the buildings they inhabit, has recently been posted in,Pittsburg and Allegheny cities, and caused much excitement. We find in the -Pittsburg papers, 'which came to hand yester day, a statement signed by three members of St, Paul's Church, Pittsburg, challenging the nun: irs of the slanders to put the matter to ju dicial proof, and alleging that the girl, whose name is signed to the affidavit refused to swear • to it. The Washington National Monument receipts during the month of July, amounted to $3,288 91, and the expenditures during the same period, to ,53,291 06. So it seems that the contribution's have not ceased, though the Society announced to Congress that they bad. During the week ending July 30th, twelve - deaths occurred at New Orleans from Yellow fever. The Clipper Ship Grapeshot, so long hovering about New Orleans with Georgelaw's famous muskets on board, has got off in a mysterious manner, and the Spanish Consol immediately sent a steamer to Havana to warn the authorities there. THURSDAY, August /0 Western and Southern Elections. —Tho elec tion for Congress in the St. Louis district, Mis• eouri, has resulted in the defeat of Col. Thos. 11. Benton, and the election of Luther M. Ken net, Whi,-;. The local contest in St, Louis re sulted in the. success of the whole American ticket, and the defeat of the Benton ticket which is identified with the foreign population especially. A despatch from Muscatine, iu lowa, says that the Whig Legislative ticket has been elected in that county by n mnjority which indicates that the Whigs have triumph ed in the'State. , Returns from half the the coun ties of North Carolina show a Whig gain of 2260 vbteo for Governor over the last election, when the democratic majority in the State was 6564.

A fire in New Orleans day before yesterday destroyed twenty large ''stores, occupied by twenty-six firms. The:loss is very heavy, the insurance alone exceeding- half a million of dollars. Several of the firemen died from heat and there was a short supply of water.— The Roxbury, Mass. Aires Douse was destroy ed by fire on Tuesday night. Loss $lO,OOO. A small boat containing eight persons was up set, yesterday at the foot of ltiSth street ; North River,New York, by which two young girls and two childrea.weredrowned. A passenger and freight train on the Covington and Lexington railway, near Cincinnati, came in collision .. yesterday; 'by Which . the Conductor of trio freight train and eight others were more or less injured.. The lightning train on the Rail road from Philadelphia to Balimore ran off the track yesterday near-NeW Castle, owing to the misplacement of a switch ; the fireman was instantly killed and the engineer and brakes cam seriously injured. FRIDAY, August 11. The latest despatch relative to the North earoli no election says that Bragg, the demo cratic candidate for Goiernor is 716 and that he will have a majcirity of 1000 in the State. The chances are also in favor of the demoorats•having a majority in the Legisla ture. The majority for _Kennett, Whig, in the St. Louis Congiessionid district is -1800 over Col. Benton. Nine; 'Whig and nine Locofooe members of the Legistature are elected as far en heard from. The returns from lowa'are still favorable to the whigs, but enough is not yet lr-own to determine the, final result. The loss •by the fire in NeW -Orleans is estimated at $1,000,000, two-thirds of which is covered by tneuranoo. Tlii.eo persons wore burned beneath the falling walls. They were all extricated and one has since died. . , • . SATURDAY, August 12. The North Carolina election has resulted in the triumph of the democrats beyond all doubt. 4 deapatch says, Bragg the democratic eandi .. date for Governor makes a clear gain of 1800 votes in Cherokee, Caldwell, Heywood, Hyde, Ilenderson,Jaoltson,:ltirmon, Rutherford, mob mop,iluud Davy counties, and his majority ,will. probably not be less than 200 Q.

A MODEL FARMER Mr, Meohi, for many 'years a flourishing Merchant in London, has fora few years given his attention to farming. The boldness with which he entered on expensive experiments in farming and the vast improvements be has wrought -have- ; excited • astonishment land and earned - for him the title of the "Na poleon of Agriculture." A recent letter from the Loudon corroeponclent of .the. Nora Ameri can thus speaks of Mr. Mechi's farm Mr. Mechi held his annual gathering at Ti-p tree Hall, Essex, on Wednesday, to show-the results of his high farming. 'Llere were a bout 800 guests present, and all grades of the community represented. There were the Peer, the member of Parliament, the independent gentleman, the engineer, the implement ma 'her, the farmer, and the laborer. Among the distinguished guests was the Hon. H, Barnard, from the United States. Mr. Ifechi, with his usual bon homme, explained to his guests, as he led them to the various fields, the means he had employed to yield the magnificent crops produced. His wheat, which was remarkably fine and abundant, he qleclared had been sown with two bushels to the acre, instead of five; and his mantgold - wurtzel, which excited equal admiratio,n was produced on what had been originally almost o barren soil. He expatia ted on the advantages' of thin sowing, and on the importance and fertilizing qualities of li quid manure, and ridiculed the ltea of farmers living near large towns _unheeding. the rich. food producing manure within their roach, in order to send to Peru and pay ssl.t per ton for birds' dung. He pointed to his luxuriant veg etation, to the abundant crops before them; and a large number present knew that they bad been- raised on a land once miserably poor. The improved implements were shown and commented on, and, Mr, Altai lamented he had not the AmeripanAhreehing machine to which he wan having some improvements ad ded, present, that he might have pointed out its merits. - Mr. Janett, the implement maker, however, hair ..lein threshing machine here, and, expatiated upon its advantages, but he failed to make Mr. Mead acknowledge it to be so good as the American, to which he nailed his colors. After the grounds and stock, which were generally acknowledged to be in fine condition, were examined and dilated on, a splendid repast beneath a wide spread tent was partaken of by the three hundred guests, and the usual round of toasts and speech ma king was indulged in. The important ques tion involved in Mr. Mechi's farming experi ments, is whether they pay. About the suc cess, as far as rearing fine cattle and splendid crops, it is unquestionable; but whether the mile on the coarrealizes a profit commensurate with all the circumstances attendant on the production, is the pivot upon which it all turns. Last year' Mr. Mechi published his balance sheet, and proved himself an ample gainer. This year the balance sheet has to be made up, and then we shall learn whether sales against coat produces the desired result. , Mr. Meehi'e complaint against farmers is, that they no knowledge they have neverAtried his plan, but they know it went do, and he replies that he I knows they can't toll until they do try. Should the one question be satisfactorily settled, there I can be no doubt that it is pregnant with vast resells to agriculture, THE GIRLS OIUKALAFAT. A correspondent of the London Morning News, writing from Natant, under the date of March 3d, describes the young girls and chil dren of that place: "Many of the young girls, and nearly all the children•are extremely handsome. Some of the fornier would excite a sensation in ma ny a London drawing room, if only their hair had come more frequently in contact with the comb, and their face with soap and water.— Their regular features and growing dark eyes betray their Rpman origin, even if .the evi dence were unsupported by the harmonious flow of their language.

The first provides that the aggregate amount, of debt hereafter contracted by the State shall not exceed five hundred thousand dollars. The second prohibits municipal sub scriptions to rail roads. The people aro to vote for or against these propositions at the next general election. 1333 Our opponents hold their Convention foi\nom mating a County Ticket, on Monday list, when the following persons wore chosen for ha several offices Congress.—J.

Some hocus-pocus about this result, as the Carlisle delegates were all for Philip Quig ly, whose friends looked confidently for his nomination as it was well known that at least two thirds of the convention had declared in his favor.

Bigler haire come to light: One le thus stated:— • • THE SHALL NOTE DONSELTIATORS DISCHARGED. --:•We learn from the Pittsburg Poet of Monday, that Messrs. Hazen. Davis, Morris and Law son,. the defendants in the 'celebrated small note case, were discharged from prison on Fri day;in , pursuance of a . pardon received from the Governor on Thursday night.' We under stand that the civil notion, instituted by. the parties just named, for tile, recovery of the penalties alleged to have been forfeited by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and others, under the-small note law, will be tried during the October term of the Dietrict Court. nommen. says the York Republican, who are thus liberated from prison and released from punishment by 'Executi've Prerogative, are the individuals - whom we noticed last week in our article on Gov. Bigler's Dodging and Double.Dealint, as having been convicted of conspiraoy against the Central and Penn. .4 Ohio Rail Road Cos, by obtaining small notes of other States from them in7change, and then suing them for the penally- of $5OO on each note. This conviction was decided by the Su preme Court to be lawful,'and the individuals named,Nvere declared by that tribunal to have been guilty of an offence against the law—nn offence in our judgment the more aggravated because it sought to pervert a just and good law to purposes of private emolument and greedy speculation, totally regardless of the I • publio welfare. But the'Governor by his pre. rogative overrules both the lower and higher Courts—all his sympathies are with the crim inals, and he sets them loose to prosecute the civil suits which, in defiance of the Legislature, ho prevented by his veto from being consolida ted into one. thus Gda. Bigler displays his approbation of conspiracy to extort money for private lucre, and is determined not only that these men without any merit shall pocket $25,000 or $30,000 without any consideration, but that they shall also be relieved from the penrdty of the criminal nctswhich they resort ed to in order to effect their object.- of Northumberland of Allegheny of Montgomery , Another case is this :—One Dr. LACIIENOER —a man of means, but not of the purest repu tation—with several others, was convicted at Easton, after a fiercely contested trial which lasted three weeks, of a conspiracy to extort money from an old and imbecile man of wealth named GREEN, by means of an unchaste wo man. The money was actually dot out of Lim by working upon his fears. Lachenour and his associates were sentenced to prison and to pay fines of different amounts, Lis being $2500. Gov. Bigler has by his Pardon releas ed him from prison and remitted the - fine: The Northampton Farmer says : "Never,. upon any occasion, or from any cause, have- w_eVtnessed such unanimity - of condemnation of an act, or so deep and hearty anathemas evoked upon the head of the man who committed it. The people of this community fetid-it to be an outrage upon the court and jury who:pati ently sat for three long weeks, affording this man every opportunity of proving' his inno cence of the foul charge, of conspiracy—of rob bing by the most infamous means, an imbec ile, weak old man o his money—that every principle of law which individuals and commu• nities look to for protection from the hand of the assassin and foul conspirator, bas been trodden under foot by Gov. Bigler, in the re• leasing this man 'from the righteous judge melt of the law which had been imposed upon him." The Farmer further says:— "If Gov. Bigler is satisfied that Dr. Lachen our is innocent—if he has been shown that the verdict of the jury was erroneous—or the sen tence intolerable, why did ho stop where, he has—why does ho suffer innocent men to be incarcerated in a State Prison—why not lib erate thong men Y If he is justifiable in par doning 0n.4 ho is in- pardoning all, and the people Will demand it of him. Petitions are already in circulatica public meeting will be held—the Governor must extend his cle mency to them, and not suffer them to remain there untill "after the election"—the time at which it is said lie has agreed to liberate them Two poor yoUng men were sentenced to six -months imprisonment in the county jail and a fine of $5O and costs. Their time expired.- - They were unable to pay the fine, and were there for three months on account of their pov erty..—Our Commissioners petitioned the Gov ernor to remit the fine, stating the utter ina bility of the prisoners to pay—that they were only an expense to the coutty. Gov, Bigler treated the Commissioners with silent contempt —he never even noticed them. In the case of this millionaire, in opposition to the will of the community, almost to a man, the Governor remits the fins—robe the county of $2500 which was her just due, as the penalty of this. man's crimes, and refuses to give us any thifig in justification, or' even in explanation of his course. These things will not do, and Gov. Bigler will thus find it before he is many months older. rim If Governors have the power to thus set a: side and render nugatory the doings of our Courts of Justice—if a Governor can with im punity trample every principle of law and jus tice under foot, then we say abolish - our courts; do not call our citizens to serve for weeks as jurymen; hand offenders over to the Govern or, and let him deal with them according ad' his interests or hisTrejudiees shall dictate." The seoret of Lachenour's pardon, while hie confederatea . amstill in prison, may consist in that he has wealth and influential friends who have pledged theit support to Bigler, while they •have not. The County of Northampton is left to bear the expense of the prosecution, while the rich convict goes freer Northamptomis one of the strongholds of "democracy," but Such democracy as Bigler has shown in this case rather startles her. Can the people sanc tion such gross opuses of the Pardoning Pow-' er, 'and' bestOw their suffrages on a man who resorts to such outrageous acts in order to se cure his re-election? wirtuotto organist once played a piece' in so masterly a style, that all the listeners stood in silent admiration.

The mysterious order ,of Know Nothings pear to be spreading with unexampled rapidi ty in every part of the Stati A correspon dent of the Baltimore Clip r, writing from ..lork_gives -the following-il count of the-pro--- gress of the order in that town and county:— There have existed, according to report, in our midst, a mysterious body of men, called "Nnow Nothings." It is said their principles are the suppression of all Popish influences in our general, Butts and local Governments, and the furtherance of political and religious lib erty. I have reason to believe that these re ports are at least partially correct; and if I had nn other evidenoe, the flutterings of cer tain persons establiehes the fact beyond a doubt The threatning and.whispered curses, which are daily heaped on this invisible bond by the priests, their greasers or body-guard and their unfortunate deluded followers, would be, if it came from a respectable source, some what alarming. But it appears, although the edict has gone forth, that the first Know Noth ing who is discovered shall be annihilated,, he cause is still progressing most rapidly, and if the eame mysterious infolmotion can be relierl upon, there fire now twelve 'or fifteen clubs of these nondescripts in the county of York alone. From the some source I learn that one club is trom seven to eight hundred strong in mem bership, and in the county they number scores upon scorety yet, strange to tell, with these facts staring us in the face, not one of them is visible to the naked eye. What political in fluences this formidable band is goingto wield, I am unable to determine, (not being one of them.) I hope however, it will boon the side of political and religious liberty. THE REV. JOHN CHatinEns.-i-The Norristown Olive Branch, a paper which advocates a pro bioitory liquor law to the fullest extent, has no mercy on the Rev. John Chambers for his attempt to deceive the people into the support of Governor Bigler, by representing him to be a friend to the proposed law. The following paragraph in the , last number of the Branch, closes an article on the subject of the Rev. gentleman's course : "At any rate, we used to givo Mr. Chambers more credit for inclipendence than, to suppose he would act as the tool of wily politician by electioneering for him on the strength of a private letter, which he is afraid to show.— How does Mr. C. know that Gov Bigler has not given such private letters to liquor sellers, too l Won't the governor givo these private assurances to one side as soon as the other?— This practice of private wife pulling is mean business. Publish the letter Mr. C., and let the people jucTie for themselves, for feat men like "to go it blind" nowadays." SICKNESS IN THE COUNTRY.—The German town Telegraph says it scarcely ever remem bers a season, in which there was more sick ness of a fatal character, in Eastern Pennsyl vania, than there is at the present time. Take the counties-of Montgomery, Chester, Bucks and Northampton; and it doubts -whether there is more sickness in Now York, Brooks lyn or Philadelpbia,momparing the population. than in these counties., The deaths from chol era, dysentery, .ki.,?ha`ve been many, and ill some places they bat , obeen so sudden and nu• merous as to justly ,cause great alarm. It seems almost ‘ - teir to impossible to fly from these diseases. They break out spontaneous ly all over the country, and their victims are sometimes dead before medical desistance can be called.

An inquest-was soon after held by Mr. Thenipl son, the Coroner, Mud' , from the testimony to-' ken we learn the following facts,in relation to the nielhinclioly tragedy. 'Die name of the deceased vas given as .Theobald Lafarce. He' was a German byAirth and a member of tile Barracks Band.lt•appears from letters found upon his person, and whioh ere published be low, that the deceased was' a passionate ad mirer of a' young-girl living near the Barrer:RS, from whom, although he had not formally dia.; closed to her his feelings, ho despaired, of . winning any reciprocation of attitehment. Hie depression of spirits for several days previous had been noticed by his friends, and caused them to 'watch his course With' some anxiety, Ou Saturday it was observed that he was drink ing more freely than usual,• and ono of his companiops discovered that he was carrying a pistol. Ho endeavored to secure possession of it but failed, and the deceased pledged him self that no cirminal use 13 bould ho made of When found ou Sunday morning the pistol was lying by his side. It had evidently been loaded with several large shot and was dis charged into his mouth, mangling his face and head in a shocking ninnher, The Coroner on being Informed of the tragic affair held an in • quest upon the body, and the jury rendered a verdict in accordance with the facts. $4,638,181,69 $4,569,074,41 The following letters head upon the , person of the deceased show the morbid state of mind under which he committed the bloody deed: A BROKEN HEART'S COMPLAINT. Death end life; anguish and joy; torment and pleasure; love and contempt; heaven and hell flutter before my eyes. Where is the fountain whose waters will .quench those flames; .where the spring able to heal the wounds which feto gave to a heart torn with pain, love and despair. It is a model of benu• ty, charms without equals, the flower of her sex, a rose of the garden of the Hesperides. which thus •enchants me. Yes, her arm is a magic wand, her eye a ray of fire; and I was doomed to destruction when I searched for happiness in the charms of her eyes.—What can I say of this Grace amongst mortals, of this goddess among devils? Here is the ten.. der smile of Cytherea, the auburn locks and the soft blue eyes Of the majestic Palle% the royal ford' and bearing of the huntress Diana, and the rosy cheeks of tbe charming fairy, which Oberon chose for his spouse. Had not Amor, the cunning god of love, giv• en his heart to Psyche, these beauties would not have escaped his eyes. 0 groat Telemsch, - 1 - can appreciate - yoursituation; when withfear and hope offering the sacrifice to Venus in Thabos, you were taken by the hands of this cruel goddess from the charming Ductiaris and, the still mourning Calypso, and laid in the lap of cld Penelope : but notwithstanding. your lot was enviable, new and lovely charms and pleasures awaited you. But I, poor, miserable wretch, what do I see before me : a precipice which makes my heart shudder. To love and not be loved a ,, ain ; to love and to adore and not to be able to suport a child, and to be for. oe'l to darken the young days of a lady with early cares for the common necessities of life. 0 misery! Soon will despair overpower me ; sorrow will overtake me, and a handful of sand will soon cover the bones of one .whose early death was caused by love. His spirit will be in higher spheres and look down with pleas ure to her who was dear to him ; will guard and protect her, and sho.wili not refuse him the blessing. • • ...Peace be with hiskehes." Hosonau —: When God created man ho endowed him with faculties which when right ly used might entitle him ton better lot then wine. He said, "It is not well that man should be alone, I will make a companion for him." I have found that companion and feel that sensation ,which made Adam know that he could not live without the being - which woun ded his heart, that the Almighty. All bountiful God gave her to him that he might le bappy oa earth. This is my case. Seeing a certain young la• fly and struck wish her extraordinary beauty I feli'that she could make me happy=but alas! she does not love me,! You will perhaps ask wino the lady is? It is Miss E. F-, who makes me melancholy and miserable and who harriee me on to death. Ido not blame her, I blitue myself/for it. I found death in her blue •eyet, where I had hoped to find eternal happi nese. ' It would be useless to say more about it.— You cannot imagine the despair that drives me to a sudden death. Therefore, farewell, Ittre.Folands and your family, farewell forever. Find a faithful lover, dear Etna, my spirit will be with you, will watch over you i and you in time of danger. Farewell, all! Despair hurries me on to death. Perhaps this deadly weapon will ex plode the very moment you road these linos. Farewell I my last sigh and my watchword in the other world will be Eliza. There we will Ineet again, if not as angels as devils.

Mr. Johnson Wlin ordained and installed only five years before, bet during his short pastorate : he had fulfilled his ministry with great acceptance.. In the pulpit ho was eloquent nod earnest; preenin g the claims of , the gospel with fidelity and unction. lie woe greatly. ..esteomed for his -amiable- and siren., tionato piety; his deporttnent, - guileless and unsuspecting; and a:siniplicity, purity-and in nocence of character 'most engaging. Firm and frank In his attachment to the Church of his birth and choice, he was catholic in all his sympathies with truth and goodness to the . ,peoPle, tninistrY, and worship of other com munions, by whom he was much esteemed.— . His latit_aermon, after preilobing to his own people niche morning,-Was preached ton Meth odist congregatidb and its closing words, op- , propriate .to the t heme of his diseourse, were almost prophetic, as they expressed the' feel. inge of his own heart and the then unsnspec ted event. , ..141 weep en mare—my end is earns; I hear Thy voice that eons me homed' Unexpected event, indeed! It was so, even to himself; yet not unprepared, tor, on is now more tenderly remembered by his family and his more intimate friends, as they recall Vow sweetly he p he r u o s 3pee edt t, o converse with them on the and especially within these late months. The decline of his health, about a year ago, induced his kind and considerate congregation to release him from all pastoral services—as, on former occasions, they had seen it neces sary for ( shorter intervals—lnking on themsel ves the supply of his pulpit, whil e they con tinued to him hie salary. After eix months ho had so far regained his strength that he resu med hie stated labors ; and only a month ago he encouraged himself and his people to believe that he would be able to pursue them without interruption. Yet it was his tail appeara nce in his own pupil. A few days afterward ho was suddenly prostrated by renewed hemor rhage from his lungs, no doubt produced by a recent fall from a carriage, upset by a runaway horse, nod by some consequent exposure and excessive fatigue. But the danger was not then suspected; nor was it thought that he would so soon he taken away. Ills people, still hoping for his recovery, met immediately on the re-appearance of the hemorrhage; and resolved to release him from service half a year longer, and still, as before, to procure supplies while they continued his support.— They did - What they could to give him rest. But his Master did what they could not. He. too, sew that his servant - needed repose, and he took him to his eternal rest. Only a day before his departure were there any serious fears for his life. Then his decline was most rapid. Nor did he at all suspect un til a few hours before it, that his death was at hand. Ilia physician, who had watched his case withthe solicitude of a devoted personal friend, announced its speedy fetal termination. He_ seemed_surprisel..; but he_inquired-how long he had to live, and was informed, "Only a few hours !" Ito replied,. "It is all right; it is ordered well ;" and then went on to converse with the physioian, in a very--spiritual strain, Of the way to heaven, and with the acme se renity as before, as if he were merely contem plating a pleasant excursion on the morrow. But suddenly interrupting himself, he broke off, saying, "We will say no more about it now, doctor; we shall have time to resume this when we get to heaven l" Some needful directions about his family and worldly affairs were given, he selected some hymns to he sung at his funeral, and thitn lay quietly on.his side, looking nt the doctor, who expressed his won der at the scene, saying, "Death alwayeseeni ed so terrible, yet this sight took away nll my fear." "0, sir," replied the dying man, " have much to attach me to life—my church, my f.mily—but it is my Saviour's will, and I long to bo gone, to be with Christ." And so ho fell asleep. • Ilis funeral was attended at his church by a large cencourse of ministers and-people of all denominations. Rev. Dr. Krebs of New York, preached from Ps. lxxxix. 45 and 47, "The days of his youth bast thou shortened ; thou host covered hits 'with shame.* * * Remem ber how short my time is;-wherefore bast thou mnde.nll men in-vain ?" The sermon was followed with an address by the Rev. Dr. Mc- Kinley, the first pastor and predecessor of Mr. Johnson in this church, while prayers were offered by the Rev. Mr. Kremer of the German Reformed - Church, nod the Rev. Mr. Jones of the Methodist Episcopal Church; and then ' they laid him with tears of love and hope, among the burial places of his beloved people. Let thorn whom he served in the gospel, re member his prayers and tears in their behalf, That service is a sweet savour unto God, both in them that are saved, and in them that per ish under it. In which of these classes of his hearers, dear reader, are you? He has ful filled his ministry among you. Bin you are not done with it. May the word which ho Bunke while he was yet with you, remain in your heart for your salvation. K. DS,,The N. Y. Herald m ekes the following enquiry:—"Which has the Premium?
