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

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

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

"What had- we better do for the children
on New-Year's, Ralph? Of course they'll be
expecting something-in the way of enjoy
ment, and '"I don't know what in the world
it shall be'?" And - the fair - young mother
laid down for a moment the child's dress

" 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."
Just then the merry "jingling" of the
bells, broke up into her chamber. It was
more than the weak ,•: heart - of the mother
could bear,- and so, forgetting her son's fu-
Lure welfare in the'present good, Mrs. Young
hurried down stairs; and 'broke into the
nursery with theSe words':' " There ! Make
haste, Howard, and get your cap and shawl;
I've concluded to let you go this time, after
all." She thought, (the fond moth - er,) that
she was repaid, as she saw the little wistful
face pressed against the'window pane bright
en, and bound forward with a " hum I'
But it was a pity the mother did not bear
Howard's undertone to his sister, as they
stood on the doorstep, five"" minutes later.
cg I•don't believe after all, Effie, there's any
great harm in playing with fire, or telling
stories, either; for you see if there had
been, mamma wouldn'thave said I might go
in•the end 1 'Then '"I like to 'knew if
she hasn't told as big a story as I have, be
cause she said at first; I should certainly
stay at home ?"
Oh ! Howard Young., mounting- with
your bright face• and boyish glee into the
sleigh,:• how great a wound. has the loving
mother that awaits you thereleft upon your
soul L. -
And now, loving,, tender-hearted, self-sao
rifteinginother who shall read this tale, has
it no lesson for vou ? -
Remember your daily life is writing •its
inerasable inscriptions upon the hearts of
Your children, and that you are responsible
for that weak thndernesss which regards
more their present , enjoymenfthan_ their in
ture good; which does not discipline and
prepare them:for the work and the storms
that must come !

-'EGG Powmit.—A patent has lately been
taken out in England for the manufacture
of egg powder. 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.
BUTTER DitoPs.--- - -bne tea-cup of sugar,
half tea-cup of butter, half teacup of cream,
one tea-spoonful of saleratus, two eggs; add
