You need never wish to dross the State of lo*a "'by'coach," at this season of the year, unless it be to strengthen•pitience, by constant and vigor ous exercise. For, falsehood and duplicity on the part of Agents of the Western Stage Company,' for recklessness on the part of " drivers," and for unaccommodating tavern keepers and lean fare, the line from Ooancil Bluffs to lowa City, surpasses any route over which I have ever traveled. This, how ever, is -only a temporary inconvenience. In the. Summer season the Missouri river farnishes fine facilities for travel upon the "splendid steamer ;" and iron bands will soon unite the two great rivers of the West, and we shall water the "iron horse" in the limpid streams of Nebraska.

The commerce, and population of the city are not only increasing with an enormous rapidity, but ths'lnilldin . ge are being erected to facilitate bustle:49lnd meet its - demands, are most massive and costly. These immense business blocks are . scattered over a very large area of the city; exhibiting in a measure, the expectation. of of the citizens, whether they are ever to be realized or, not. Many ,of the residences, too, partake of the .same magnificence and lavishness of expenditure. One block of six residences, which I noticed, is being erected at a cost of three' hundred thousand dollars. ',But yesterday, ,and a traveler described Chicago a. 4 4 village of twenty or ,thirty houses;" now she contains upwards of one hundred thousand inhabitants—some say one hundred and forty thousand.

HOTELS Thwdernand' for Hotels in tr city- of so much commercial enterprise is great, and this demand has been• nobly met. But few cities can bost . of 'BO many first class Hotels as Chicago. Among them the Richmond and Fremont are the best; and of them, the Richmond is my favorite. • The proprietors, Messrs. Taber, Hawk & Co,.are patterns of gentlemanliness; and they make it their special business,. to see that tbeieguests shall 'have every attention; and shall feel perfectly' 'at home in the.' Rieh mond. Their table, too, is furnished with every luinry of the season: , The hotel has been recently built, and the- furnieureis en tirely new, and I mok . cordiallY'reeommend thsßlehinond'io` theittnage . of all'traVel ere who wish attention, comfort, good' living CHURCHES:' There. are in. Chicago upwards of forty 'evangelical churches. Tiine forbids .how ever, to speak of them particularly. I shall confine myself wholly to the Old School Presbyterians. The ../Vartii, Presbyterian church is again supplied-with a regular pastor----the Rev. R. A. Brown. Being vacant a number of months, the cengregation had becoine somewhat " scattered ;" but it is gratifying to find them rapidly returning—and, in some in. stances, bringing ,others with them. Mr. Brown has been well received, and has a very large and important field open to his efforts and usefulness. The regular num ber of-hearers is-rapidly increasing--the ac tual nuMber of members - is about ninety. TheY have recently purchased a lot `at 'a cost of about $12,000.; and intend 'building next Summer at a cost of about $50,000. The lot-for their new church is' perhaps- more el igibly situated than the one on' which the church now staiids. The South, Presbyte rian Church, of which the Rev. Mr. Henry is pastor; is prospering beyond the most san guine exptctation of its friends. Its loca tion vas most happy. It is upon the corner of Congress Street and Wabash Avenue— one of the best portions of the city for resi dences. Their building lot is one of the' most eligible in the city; and their membership is, already nearly eqUal to the NOrth church. These churches are in opposite points , of the city, and at, "a, good distance apart." They are doing a good work; rand their pastors are justly held in very high esteem. But, Mr. Editor, is this all that our Church should do in this ".Metropolis of the West?" 'Might we not have, and should we not attempt a CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF CHI- CAGO . It would not weaken the other nucleuses, nor detract from their usefilness in the least. The very 'best portion of the. city lies be tweel,l,:, the North and the South churches ; and many who had formerly been connected with the Old School, reside there, but have cast in their lot with others, owing to, their position and locality. Many others are corn. ing in, and will "go and do likewise," un- - less we make proper provision for them'. Here, too, are the hotels. The stranger and the traveler would love to drop in occasion ally; and participate in the ' 46 delightful ser vices of the sanctuary!' Besides, it is probable, if not already cer tain, that the Theological Seminary for the North-West will be located at Chicago; and this fact presents an additional reason'that our Church should be more fully and'vigor ously represented in the city. The com mand is tO " peach the Gospel to every creature; and the best and most expeditious way to fulfill this command in any given country, is to put forth the most - vigorous efforts, and to place the ablest' men in the. great commercial ,centres of the land. So taught the Apostles by their labors and their examples. Why select Colin th,'Ephesus, Athens, Rome ? They were the great liter ary and commercial emporiunis of the coun tries in which they were situated ; and,an impetus given to Christianity there would vibrate through the, whole country. It is so Still. Every pulsation in our great commer cial centres, thrills through a vast region, end tells upon the destinies 9f hundreds and thousands. A light, here, illumes thousands of benighted souls, who could scarcely be reached in any other way. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS.' The term " ragged," has been displaced by the more euphonious and better term, industrial, although the recipients of the instruction and care, 'are none the' lets "ragged" than are found in other nitid. There are three`pf three sehogls in snecosii;. InlePeiatieti Chicago, and unitedly, number about three' hundred scholars. I had the pleasure of • attending the Anniver sary of these' schools, on the evening'of the 29th inst. The exercises consisted in sing ing, declamation, recitation of Scripture, &0., and addresses. from some of the city ministers. The exercises were well sustain ed; —and-it was certainly," good to be there." Here you, could witness something, of the genius of Christianity-=--the glory of the Chris tian religion. _"To the poor, the Gospel is preached." To look up these .‘!. little Wan derers," amid the degradation and moral pollution into which their parents have plunged them; to store their aninds with useful knowledge, and correct principles' of moral conduct; io impress their young hearts with the story of the Cross, and open to their wondering admiration the sublime scheme, of redemption; in a word, to fit them for the high destiny of man, both in this life, and that which is to come, is the peculiar work of Christianity, as it•isalsoler glory. Infidelity knows no such work. Nor did the sages of heathen antiquity. Per haps no city West of New 'York, more greatly needs these schools than Chicago; from the present appearances, I should judge that Christians are, keenly alive to their duties in relation thereto.

THE HOUSE OF TERAH.--GEN. XI: 27-32 The grand and leading object of Bible history is prominently presented in the similar and peculiar order of naming the -sons of Noah and Terah. Shem, .the second son of Noah, is named first, because be was the father of Heber and the He brews' and a primogenlior of the Messiah. Ham, the youngest son, •is named second, because his descendants early took a high and an important, political position in the world. Thus Japheth, though the eldest son of Noah, (Gen. x : 21,) is named last, as in his 'raced:to is historically the youngest. , In the ,House t of Terah, Abraham, though= the yOungest by sixty years; is, like Shen], the first in the list • since , he is the one for whose sake - the' gives the history .of the•faritily; Nailer, whose name figures, in connexion, with the descendants of "the Father of the FaithfiO' is next. Harani though perhaps the 'eldest; is last' nained, as he died early, and,hia ,place is taken by his son Lot. : The, average length of generatioiisrfroni the flood up to the birth of Hayti), an the . seventieth year of the ; life of ,Teralx;-.,is thirty-six years,, or onlithirty-two, leaving Terah out, of the, count. Lot •were born to Haran, ' according this %bit average, he might be twenty-eight years older than Abraham This might' `account for the aeference shown him' by Abraham, as recorded, Gen. xiii: 9. Two other ehil dig, Micah 'and 'scab; are born; then Baran dies ( 1 before his father in the land of his nativity. This death, counting the longer'average foli . generation, might take place near a score of years before Abraham was born. Thus the first recorded death in the line of history, might be the first actual death in the post-diluviau , world. Peleg died twelve years, the elder .Nahor ten years, and Noah two years before the birth of Abraham. Some, however, suppose Iscah and Sarai to be , one' arid the same person: If so, Haran lived at, least till the eleienth year of Abraham. This opinion is grOunded upon the fact that Milcah, the sister of Lot and Ismail, became the wife of her uncle Nahor; upon the`friendship and'deference of 'Abra ham for Lot; upon the greater• likelihood that a niece than a sister would become a wife; and upon the confessed ambiguity of sister and daughter, as used by Abraham.— Gen. xx : 12. With this passage compare Gen., xXiv : 60, and Esther :7, 15 The youngest daughter of Reran might be called Iscah, the wanderer, when carried, after her father's death, an infant in the arms of Terah, in'his emigration to Haran, the name he gave to hiS new residence in memory of his deceased son. ~Afterwards, when she became the wife of her uncle, who was a chief heir of his father's wealth; and a prince of a large portion of his Sub jects, her name might be changed to ,Sarai, princes, as this word in the plural is ac tually used in describing the queen wives of Solomon.-1.. Kings xi :3. Subsequently a sinele letter , pecirliar to Hebrew, names, though not generally affecting much t err signification, was added.—Gen. xvii: 15. .It may interest the curious to know that in Hebrew, Sar means prince. The letter Yod, which changes this into Sandi meant, when used as a hieroglyphic sign, hand. Thus- /Sara, as a wife, would ,mean prince's hand. The letter He, which changes Sar into Sarah, means window, or light and joy. of which it is a symbol. Therefore 'Sarah, as a. mother, would be a prince's joy. The native land of. Terah was Ur, of .the Chaldees. The word Ur, or Oor, means light.' r It is used (Job xxxi : 26,) for the rim, as an object - Of idolatrous worship, Used for the idol worship of 13abylort,, ixiv : 16, and lxvii : 14,) it is rendered, in ,the common version, . fire. Chaldees, or - Chesditn, is' used not only 'as the name of the country of which ( Babel was `the chief city, bUt for a class of its reputedly wise men.—Dan. ii : 5. It is also worthy of no tice that one of the sons of Nahor is called Chesed, or Chaldees He was so named, perhaps, either because the ,Chaldees, as a religious order, took their rise from him, or because, as a class of fire-worshippers, they already existed, and Na n hor honored them in the name of his son. In. either case, it would indicate that the house of Terah had an early predilection for this form of idola try. Though it was the, first and the most exalted form of natural religion, yet it was the 'worship of other and fidse gods.— Josh. xxiv : 2. , There is much interest connected with the early, history of Sabaeism, not only from the fact that it is often alluded to in the Bible, but from the fact that it ha's "many adherents at the pretient time at Kirman, and other places in Persia, and numbers its followers by the hundred thousand in Hindoostan. Seven newspapers are published by the order, in =the `city of Bombay; 'and one of the wealthy professors of this faith, has been -recently knighted by the Queen of England. Baal, or ' sun werShip, is hut air earlier form of this idolatry.-2. Chron. xxxiii : 3-6. Ad the sun was viewed ns the 'most 'striking symbol of art invisible'Deity, so fire gradual ly,wasAntroduced as-,the-representative-of the sun, which was beyond the. reach of man. Zoroaster,,Jyt(ck,is thought to have lived before sllo3timerof the Babylonish captivity of the Jews, reformed Sabaeism, and reduced it to a system. Some think Isaiah prophetically refers to the Ormuzd and Ahriman, or the principles of - good and evil, of Zoroaster when.he announces Jehovah assaying, " I form"the light (Odr,) and create darkness. I make peace and create evil.—ls. xlv 7. It is not certainly known that the families of the three sons of Noah, for several gen erations, intermingled at all by marriage. The .distinction of color,' and •the division of the earth, to which we have already referred in the sons of Noah, together with the fairness, of Sarah's complexion, (Gen. xii 11,) and the feelings of Rebekah toward the descendants of Ham, (Gen. x.xvii. 46,) seem to indicate design on the part of God, and prejudice, on the part of man,' against an intermixture of blood, especially With the dark skinned H.amites. But this distinc tion, appointed and used by the God of providence, to keep in 'check ambitious monarchs, and' to govern it rebellious world, was evidently gradually broken down in the Church or religious community organized in the family. of. Abraham. The Hebrew race, both 'before and after their settlement in Canaan, manifest no indisposition to have incorporated with them the, descendants, both of Ham and Japheth: See Gen. xxxviii • 2; . .x1i : 45.; 2. Sam. xi • 3, etc. Stephen's language, (Acts vii 2,) as well as the past tense, " had said," in Gen. xii : 1, indicate that Abraham was called of God while in Ur. This is, perhaps, the reason of. Torah's removal to Horan:. •But his advineed years, the barrier 'which the great river Euphrates presented, and , his rising attachment for wealth, ease, and a settled- home, stirred• up by the beauty of the land, led him to take possissi r on 'for his c4t Nible.

"That's just the- thing, Ralph, dear. Toward and Ellie will enjoy it so much." And Mrs. Young . 'Clapped her hail& with a girlish sort of grace and gladnesti f which even - motherhood had not entirely banished from her manners.: • "We can go down to the shore and see the skating, and they'll be is happy ' (pre. cious little dears,) as birds among apple buds all the morning. Oh I do hope it will snow "Well, rthink my dear, your hopes' will be realised -before orning." And the gen:. tleman resumed his paper, and the lady her sewing, while thevind stormed and strength ened without, as though it was shrieking out a wild defiance to the year that was coming ! coming "A sleigh ride, mamma! Oh, goody! goody!"'What'a clapping of hands, and dancing of feet, and shouting of glad child voices, followed the announcement. • , They were very pretty children, but deli cate, and with rather a hotlouse.plant look. Howard, a boy of seven, was two years older than'his sister, and his dark eyes, and. that curly chestnuthair, were like his 'father's ; but Effic's sunny, face, with its, rosy cheeks, and rosier lips, were all her mother's. . ,* * * * * " Yes, dear children, we will go way down to the shore, and. round by the park, this afternoon; the day is so very beautifUl, and the snow-fall of last night has made, the traveling delightful. Now you will be very good, won't you? in view of the • afternoon's enjoyment ?' ' "To be ; I will," stoutly affirmed . Howard. " What.must I. do to be good ?" " You mlietift play with the fire any Mori; my boy'—lyimi renienibei" now ? must leave you and little sister here for half an hour. Promise me, Howard, that you will not go too near the grate, or at tempt to light any papers there." " I promise you mother." And the boy meant it, as he put up his mouth for his mother's kiss. Mrs. Young's "half hour" of absence doubled and trebled itself; for she was supervising the dinner pastry, which on this occasion was, of course, an extra matter. Now Howard was a restlesi, daring sort of boy, delighting greatly in dangerous hap hazard adventures, and certain to place his neck in imminent peril several .times each day of his life. - He, however behaved remarkably well this New-Year's morning. Hp told Effie the last story he bad read' in the Child's Cabinet, and then be played "come, to see you,' with commendable patience for half an hour, seeing it was a " girl's play," and Howard had an .instinctive feeling that it derogated'somewhat from his dignity to join in these. Bat at last the boy grew very- tired, and then while Effie sang "lullaby," he'wet.t and stood near the grate, watching the am ber flames coil around the black heaps of coal. At last he took an old paper that lay on the floor. " lin , not -going to light it," he whispered, while every• Movement of his restless fingers indicated plainly how they fairly ached to do this. Closer and closer-he drew to the flames, holding the paper, nearer to: the. little red skeins of flame;-that tangledulong the edges of the grate,. ' and- at, last a corner of the paper caught one of :these.. Howard Howard bent forward With a low, exultant cry; he had lighted the paper; he ilisobeyed his mother. Then with his usual recklessness, he ran all about the room, laughing as his little sis ter cried out in terror, and the flame broad ened and brightened along the 'paper, and almost scorched his hand, when he rushed with it to the grate, and a moment later there was nothing left of'this to tell the story of his disobedience. A few minutes after; Mrs: Young entered the room hastily. "Oh, you're doing nice ly, children. Have 'yen been a good boy, and notplayed with the 'fire, Howard?" How he . wished he had not done this, as every one gniiSt`wish, sooner or later, for the wrong-doing. ' But it was' too late now- So all!the moral cowardice rose up in Howard Young's hear-he blushed and hesitated. " My son," said his mother gravely, 'you know what I said about the ride. Have you played _with - the fire ?" " No, mamma." It seemed as if a, shiver had crepe . down into Howard's heart, as his lips, uttered this falsehood. "Why, Howard, what a big story? I saw you run all around the room with the paper burning ;" spoke up the soft voice of Effie. "Howard, my child, have you told me a falsehood ?" said the mother, grieved and shocked at 'this double ' , disobedience of her son. His burning cheek, his drooping eyes, answered her. Then she called him to her side, and talked to him a long time of the sin he had committed against God and his _own soul. Howard was melted to tears. of penitence and shame, and when his mother rising up said earnestly, 44 You remember, Howard, that I told you you could not'go with us this afternoon, if you diSobeyed me," he felt in his soul that hard as was the punishiment, he deserved it. "It's too bad, after all, to disappoint the child so severely," murmured Mrs. Young, as she arranged her hair before the mirror. " I shan't enjoy myself a bit, thinking of the poor little fellow,left here alone. It's so natural for him to be in mischief, and maybe he did n't think when he told the Amyl " His father knows nothing of it, and I've a good mind to run - down to the nursery and tell'Howard he may go."

The process consists in taking fresh eggs, breaking them; and placing, their matter in proper shallow trays, where they are, subjected to a stream of moderately hot air to evaporate all the moisture. Whenperfectly dry they are re in - duced to powder, a proper mill, and - are employed for the making-of pastry, &o. The air for drying the eggs must not_ be alloWed to exceed .1.35) deg.; the object is to evaporate the moisture, and not to, coagulate the albu men, so as to.render the egg powder soluble in water. This manner of preparing eggs former= ket might be pursued by some per Sons in our distant rural distriets, says the Scientific American, with as much profit as preparing and drying fruit. To MAKE GOOD APPLE JELLY. —Take apples of the best quality and good flavor, (not sweet,) cut them in quarters or slices, and stew them till soft; then strain out the juice, being very careful not to let any of the pulp go through the'strainer. Boil it to the consistency of molaises, then weigh it and add as many pounili of crushed sugar, stirring it constantly Ain the sugar is dis solved. Add one ounce of extract of lemon to every twenty pounds of jelly, an&when cold, set it away in close jars. It will keep good for years. Those who have not li:tide jelly in this way, will do well to try it ; they Will' find it superior•to'cUrrant Farmei.
