This estimated in importance, according to the or prejudices which are addressed ; h ut, ,to the ordinary fate of such traosatc will soon pass into the oblivion to whi c h id others of like magnitude, have been I before. It was noticed in the House, Keitt, of S. C., as the signal of some danger ; and in other quarters it has been Lett upou, as the omen of a serious polit 'ffection. Time alone can verify the re•, t, for the present, these conjectures seem iggerated. It certainly only affects the lajority in the Senate by one vote, and rge enough to spare that loss without ial suffering. Besides, ibis by no means judging from his antecedents, that Mr. will be hostile to the new AdnAinistra questions of general policy. Upon the iesue, there may be some difference of :ween them ; but even there, if the peace meta in Senses should continuo, the prob f disagreement is not striking. 'resident and Cabinet are making Pre" P o rotary arrq nr . enieu t their iti 6,1 () wing to the feeble ecn lition Mrs. Po. , eels health. whiA f.J•bids ;01 imme,liare velum to New England, the family will probably visit Cuba for two months, leaving here about the middle of March. Mr. Marcy will remain in Washington until May or June, unless invited to protract his stay four years longer. Mr. Guthrie has made arrangements for returning immediately to Louisville. Mr. M'Clelland will testi= his profession in Michigan. Mr. Davis, having been elected to the Senate, will stay here until after the executive session in March, and then go to Mississippi, which he has not visited since enter ing the Administration. Mr. Dobbin proposes a sojourn in the mountains of North Carolina, for the purpose of recruiting his health, which has been much impaired by official labors and cares. Mr. Campbell will re-open his law office in Phila delphia, and Mr. Cushing may stay here a while to get the hang of things. In a few weeks more tae _Administration will have only an historical ex istence, and the men who composed it will again become every-day mortals. These transitions from exalted station to the walks of ordinary life, remind one forcibly of the impressive admo nition which the father of Tbemistocles gave him, when finding him bent on public pursuits Be led him to the sea-shore, and pointed out the old galleys which lay stranded on the beach, as sig nificant of the fate which attended those who de voted themselves to the service of the State. As Capt. Hartstein and his associates declined to accept the offer of the British Admiralty, to return home in the war-steamer Retribution, ex tensive arrangements which had been made for the reception of the British officers at New York and here, have all been disconcerted. The inten tion was to show that - we appreciated the spirit in which the act of National civility, intrusted to Captain Hartstein was accepted, and knew how to reciprocate the hospitality manifested across the Atlantic. The only danger was, that some of, our people, with the propenZity to lionize every thing foreign, might have run into extremes, and have overdone what should have a graceful ac knowledgment of generous civility. Perhaps the thing stopped at the proper point. Although the Tariff is nominally before the House, hut two set speeches have yet been made upon the subject. Sectional issues still absorb attention, and engross the time which should be devoted to legitimate debate. The Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means proposes to bring the House to a division on the pending pro positions, within the next ten days ; but with the little light which has thus far been shed upon the subject, it is difficult to imagine how the Chamber can vote understandingly. The idea has been to extract information upon different branches of industry, and thus finally shape a‘ measure that might challenge the favor of the country. But no developments have been made of any real value, and consequently true policy suggests a postponement of the whole subject until Con gress can consider it free from present entangle ments. In consequence of the passage of the bill allow ing Boards of Inquiry to such officers on the " retired list" as might desire to seek that mode of redress, the President has determined not to car ry out his original design of filling existing vacan cies in the active service from it. There are four vacancies in the rank of Captain, two in that of Commander, and sixteen in that of Lieutenant, which might, and perhaps would have been pro vided for, from the meritorious portion of these officers, whose cases had been commended to special favor But the whole of that interest clamored for the law which was reeently,Adopted, and they are now referred to it, as the only method of restoration. Many of them now re gret their mistaken zeal, especially since it has been discovered that the proceedings before the new tribunals will be open to public criticism, and that the charges and testimony which they must meet will be scattered broadcast over the country. A CALM OBSERVER. $7.00 $6.00 22.00 7.00 25 $29.25 $6.25 The past week has exceeded , in severity any' similar period, within the memory of the present generation. For six consecutive days, no mail fr6ta any distant point, reached this city, and even the communication with Baltimore, only for ty miles distant, was almost entirely suspended. After this comparative isolation, we are again re turning to our old ways, though regularity is by no means re-established along the various rail road lines. During this non-intereourse,'Congress was en gagedi.for several days, with proceedings result ing from the pending investigation, in the course of which, the 'correspondent of • the New York Times was brought before the bar of the House,- for contempt, in • refusing to-answer a particular interrogatory. It was mainly upon the statements of this person, that...the inquiry was made at all, and his testimony before the Committee, went to • show, that various members of Congress had ap proached him, with a view of negotiating for In i bery. When the names of these members were required, he pleaded "Confidence" as the reason for declining, and maintained the same .purpose when arraigned at the bar. In the first place, he made the public his confident, by proclaiming chargea of - corruption affecting the character of the House, and then.set up an excessive morality, in extenuation of a reouse.ney, which was calcu lated to shield the guilty. 'Linder these circum - - stances, a bill was reported,. and- carried without much opposition, intended to enforce testimony.. The Senate responded in the 'agile spirit, while suggesting that amendments were necessary, and the President will return thelict with his signa - , ture to-day. - • As soon as these forms are completed, Mr. Si mouton will be recalled as a witness, and if he should again refuse to answer, the fact will be re ported to the House, and, he will be immediately turned over to the judicial tribunals. It was et first proposed by hiS friends, to apply for a writ. of habeas corpus ; .but that step was abandoned at , the advice of Mr. Reverdy Johnson, who was en gaged as counsel, because he thought him bound to answer the interrogatoriesproriounded, - under the old law, and if doubt existed-on that subject, the new one would compel him by its. penalties. This. subject Las now assumed a serious shape, and may lead to important developments. If it was_ intended to prosecute the investigation earnestly and :In good faith, the right measure has been adopted. The Sergeant-at-Arms returned on Sat, with Mr. Chester, the correaponderit of the Philadelphia inquirer, who was brought to the bar of the House,•and allowed time to answer in Writing and under's:oath, the questions. proponed by the Committee. • President Pierce has abandoned the purpose of visiting Cuba, as was recently announced. The physicians of Mrs. Pierce _ now advise agninst a sea-voyage, and the family will probably seek re tirement in one of the Southern States, until the advent of Summer. Aiken, in Smith Carolina, has been suggested as a most desirable spot, for a temporary residence. Judge Daniels is still confined to the house, by burns received at-the time of the fatal accident to his wife, and he has been compelled to decline all visits, even those of sympathy, which is so generally felt. From this cause, the Supreme Court has notleld a consultation upon the Mis souri case, and the judgment will hardly be ren dered, therefore, until near the expiration of the term. • . The President has determined, in consequence of the action of Congress, iu passing the bill allowing Boards of Inquiry, to fill the existing va cancies in the Navy from the active list, making the promotions in regular order ; instead of taking selections from the " retired list," as was at first proposed. He contends that as these officers sought this mode of redress, they should be con tent to abide by its application. The new nom- ination will be sent to the Senate next week. Mr. Buchanan is now expected to reach here in a few days, and apartments have been secured for him at the National Hotel, where he will probably remain for ten days. His object is a full conference with political frie.nds in regard to the composition of the Cabinet, after which he will return home, and finally complete the pro gramme. The South , is urgent for "representa tive men" from that section, and will not make any recommendation unless such a concession be made in some tangible form. That section is particularly inclined to favor the pretensions of Mr. Tencey, as the New England man, over Mr. Clifford;.but without a good understanding on the first point, even this case will not be pre sented. There are likely to be some exactions made, to which Mr. Buchanan cannot subinit With self-respect, and it is not -improbable that disaffection will soon exhibit itself, after the formation of the Cabinet. Men like Mr. Cobb, Mr. Benjamin, and others of the same stamp, are not accepted by the ultras as fair exponents of the South, and hence intestine difficulties are threat ened, which may become formidable. It would not surprise tue,, if in six months some of the most active lenders in. the South were in open op position. They, like Daniel O'Connell, cry agitate, agitate," and the cry is responded to c ordially, by a faction in the North, which lives by similar excitement. The two extremes of opinions, one advocating the-extension of slavery, and th e other its unconditional abolition, thus play into each others hands;and between,the two the country ie kept in a constant ferment and WASHINGTON, January 26, 1867 111 F PP. FI SBYTERI AN BA, NNER AND ADVOCATE strif,. It will b.s fortunate for its repose if Mr Buchanan shall ncceed in crushing out both of these factions, which, though seemingly hostile, are united in carrying on a war of uiscord, with out once regarding its terrible consequences. If, on the other hand, Mr. Buchanan should he dissuaded from his patriotic intention, and yield to the menaces of this radical interest, he must expect to encounter serious hostility to any nomi nations which it may succeed in extorting. A resolute minority has considerable power for mis chief, if little for good; and it is determined, if disunionists are sent to the Senate, that the Ad ministration shall not be organized without some delay. Since Mr. John Appleton, of Maine, has been formally announced as the official editor of the Union, after the 4th of March, some attention has been bestowed in regard to the subordinate departments of that paper, with a view of giving it increased efficiency and interest. Heretofore it has been partisan, monotonous and dull to the general reader, and any change must be an im provement, which its subscribers will appreciate. Mr. Campbell, the Chairman of the Ways and Means, is determined to bring the House to a vote on the Tariff, even at the hazard of postponing the regular appropriations. Thus far, the effort has been to dodge this question, or to blend it with merely political issues, so as to prevent its proper consideration at this time. Since the Ad ministration came into power, the President and the Secretary of the Treasury have regularly re commended a reduction of the increasing revenue, enlargment of the free list, and other methods. But the party in Congress has never responded to these appeals, while admitting the necessity for legislation ; and has, in fact, evaded any real at tempt to inaugurate a new policy. Consequently, their opponents are inclined, not only from this reason, but because a revision of the revenue sys tem is demanded by the best interests of the country, to test their sincerity on the record. It is hardly probable, however, from the advanced' period of the session, even if the House should agree to a modification, that the Senate would concur. A number of railroad men are here, urging the admission of iron free of duty, and planning their operations so as to move a proposition at the for tunate moment. But their movements are watched, and the effort will hardly succeed at this session. A CALM OBSERVER. Current Review and Criticism. TUE BIBLE IN THE WORKSHOP ; by Rev. John ffr. Nears, (at .Davison.'s.) The title of this book stirred up et once a hope that so momentous a subject as that of God's Word for the masses had been ade quately treated here. And wehave not been dis appointed. In a community like ours, where so much of the good order of society, and we may add so much of the thrfrt of our business men, depends on the good moral character of the thousands of employees, we believe every head of a workshop would be the gainer in dollars by putting a copy of this small, inexpensive volume into the bands of each of his workmen. Alas! we have heard of large establishments in this city, under the control of Christian men, (but not under their immediate personal oversight,) where a foreman is some ranting infidel, full of talk, filling the earn of old and young with smart jibes at Christianity, and leading thus many an unsuspecting youth astray. Are these likely to be trustworthy-work men? Is it not worth the care of employers to put Christian books like this into the hands of their men. And, above all, is it not their high duty to the community and to God, to see to it that their large workshops are not used to circu late Infidel sentiments, and that their men do not fail of getting, in some shape, the BREAD OF LIFE ? This volume is truly one of the most thorough, and inqructive, and striking, and satisfactory, on the whole subject of LABOR, that we have yet seen. Any man in the community will gain great profit and much valuable information from reading it, and we earnestly hope that hundreds of copies will go into the workshops here. Who of our money-making manufacturers would like to do the greatest good to himself, to the laborers in his employ, to the community, and to the Church- of Christ ? Let him order a copy for each of his hands, for the reading of these Win ter evenings. It is dedicated to a celebrated "ENGINEER AND MACHINIST." .1. rebus peparintent. Railroad Accident. On Saturday last, a train of cars ran off the track, four miles below Middletown, Pa., and turned over an embankment, and were made a perfect wreck. There were two passenger cars, with baggage car.. About forty persons were aboard, and the little injury they suffered is as tonishing. One person bad both limbs broken, and badly smashed. Another was seriously bruised. About a dozen had bruises and burns of not a dangerous, though some"of them Of a very painful, character. The calamity was caused by the breaking of a rail. It was our lot to par ticipate in the plunge, but not to share in the in jury. The intense cold had rendered the, rails brittle ; and the weight of two' heavy locomotives, with a rapid motion, proved too much for their remaining tenacity. Several females and chil dren were in the company, but none of them suf fered beyond the distress of a serious fright, and their sympathy for the if:dared. One had her clothes ignited, and was in great danger for a moment, but the calm and self-possessed efforts of the uninjured, speedily relieved her, and others. After a detention of many days in Lancaster, and amid the ojoieing of our exit, this was felt as a monition that we are ever dependent ; but the comparatively little injury, where danger was so great and so mrnifest, afforded cause for much gratitude. The Snow Storms and Cold Weather. The snow storm that prevailed along the At. lantic coast 'on Sabbath , week, blocked up for several days, all the great line of railway in that region, so that the mails have been delayed, and our Correspondence and exchanges have been sadly deranged. The first arrival, after the track was clear, from Philadelphia M this city, brought a mail weighing eleven tons. In this vicinity, the cold has been very severe; and though the thermometer has not fallen as low at any time as it did last Winter, yet the' aggre gate range of the thermometer for several days is probably lower than that of last year. The ground is frozen to. a greater depth than last Winter, owin, no doubt, to the smaller amount of snow. Last Monday morning was one of the coldest, if not the very coldest, of the season but before evening, the weather moderated, and during the night heavy rains fell. The change in the temperature, from 7 A. M. until 6 P. M., amounted to about 42°: Relief for Cincinnati and Louisville. We are happy to state that active and energe ie measures have been taken by our citizens for supplying, as far as possible, the poor of these cities with the fuel in which our hills so much abound. It is said that atleast 100,000 bushels of coal could be procured here, without cost, for the places in want, but the great difficulty is the want of care on the part of the railroad. The first train, of fifteen cars, loaded with coal, left for Cincinnati on Tuesday. The railroads have made an arrangement, by which coal can be conveyed to, that place, from this city, for about $5 per ton. If the present state of weather should continue, the river will be opened, when an abundant supply can be forwarded at once. Pennsylvania St,ate .&gricidUi.ral Society This. Society' convened in the Representative Chamber, at Harrisburg, on Tuesday, 20th inst., About seventy members were present. John Murdoch, Esq, of Allegheny County, - occupied • the chnir Temporary President. Thu Chair man of the Committee on field crops submitted their Report, which was approved. The Secreta ry read his Annual. Report, together with the Re ports of the Chairman and Treasurer of the Trustees of the Farmer's High School. The latter Report showed the receipts of the School Fund to be $16,579.17, and the expenditures of the year $11,535.76, leaving a balance in the Treasury of $5,046.41. The Society then proceeded to elect officers for the ensuing year, when David Taggart, of Nor thumberland County, was chosen President; Vice President was chosen from each Congres sional District, and A. Boyd Hamilton, of Har risburg, Corresponding Secretary. Death of Hon. Preston S. Brooks. WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 27.—The Hon. Preston S. Brooks died this evening at Brown's Hotel. He had been in bed a day or two, suffering from the effects of a severe cold. He said to his friends that he had passed the crisis of his illness, feeling considerably improved in health, but ten minutes afterwards he was seized with a violent croup and intense pain, and expired. This event, so sudden, has caused much surprise and sym pathy throughout the city. EDUCATION IN ILLINOIS.—We learn from the last annual report of the Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction in Illinois, just made to the Legis lature of that State, that the total amount of the school, college, and seminary fund is $1,054,- 365.08 During the year 1856, there was dis. tributed among the Counties, $58,216.21. The aggregate of the Township school fund in ninety five Counties, is $3,005,937. Daring the year, returns have been received from 7,694 schools; of these schools. there were taught by male teachers 3,672, by feritales. 2,699, and by both males and females 743. There are in the State 696,348 white children, under twenty-one years old, and 323,393 attended school during the year. The number of organized school districts is 6,813. Items. Seven hundred and sixty persons died in Bei ton, of• consumption, in 1856, being about one sixth of the whole mortality. Four hundred and five were females. It is stated that vehicles of all kinds have been 'driven across the Susquehanna for some time past on the ice, which'is very firm between Havre de Grace and Port Deposit. . The Blue Ridge (Ye.) Republican says that the wheat crop in that region has had no covering of MOW during the Winter, and regrets to hear that it is suffering from the bitter, freezing weather. By the official tables, just published at New York, it seems that the 141,625 foreign emigrants, who arrived at that port during the past year, brought with them .$9,642,104 in cash means. A man named Theodore Lacorgny, steward of the lowa, was, it appears, most wonderfully saved alive to tell the tale of the wreck of that schooner on Lake Superior. He crept into the provision box, and, after a few hours, found himself on land in the woods. A ham found in the provision box kept him in food for two, days, till he met an Indian,.who took him to his cabin, attended him during several months' illness, and, then took him to Mackinaw. ' The Legislature of Maine have elected the Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, 'United States Senator for the long term, and Amos Nourse for the short term. Zechariah Chandler, Repnbliean, has been elected United States Senator, in Michigan, in place of Gen. (Ass, for six years from the 4th of March next. Dr. Hayes, who was with Dr. Kane in his An tic Expedition, expresses a confident hope, from 'recent intelligence and knowledge of his case, of the Doctor's recovery. An aged negress, named Judy Williams, form erly the slave of the grandfather of the Rev. John G. Brown, of Pittsburgh, died last week, near this place and was buried in the Allegheny Cemetery, at the advanced age of one hundred and five years. She was probably the last of the Penn sylvania slaves. PREMIUM . ON TEETOTALISM.—The Atalanta (Ala.) intelligencer states that the Western and Atlantic Railroad gives a bonus to such Jaen as agree to abstain from spirituous liquors as a beverage, va rying according to their post. Engine men re ceive $37.50; conductors $25, and train hands, firemen and wood passers, $l5 per quarter. Of the employees of the road. seventy-one have agreed to the regulation. The result has been that a remarkable improvement has taken place, not only in the habits and conduct of the men, but a wonderful diffprence has been made in the actual saving of Money on the road. Some idea of. the extreme scarcity of fuel in the city, says the Cincinnati Conuitercid, may be had from the fact that many persons are keeping themselves from freezing, by using the cracklings from the lard oil factories, and the hoofs obtained, at tanneries. The ship Wellsford, from St. John, for. Live rpool, was wrecked on the 25th of December, off Cape Race, and Capt. Hatfield, and 'twenty.sis of her crew lost. No BIBLE AT THE CAPITOL OF MISSOURI I-- The St. Louis Democrat states that the inaugura tion of Gov. Polk, was delayed at least half an hour, in hunting up a copy of the Holy Bible, upon which to administer the oath of office. It was feared that the inaugural would have to be postponed until a copy of the book could be pro cured from St. Louis, but this proposition met with the most determined 'and malignant opposi tien from Gov. Price. Happily at this critical juncture a Bible was handed in from the Peni tentiary, and the oath was duly administered. LAYING RAILS BY STBAM.—Two engineers On the Virginia Central Railroad have contrived a machine for laying railroad tracks by steam. According to the account published, it does nli the work of grading the road, laying the ties, and putting the rails and chairs in position. The mnahine :Lund is, sixty-two feet in length. and it is estimated that it will lay the track at the rate of ten feet n minute. Xarkets Pittliburgiu, as uss--rearls, 7 1 4. Pots, 53/ 2 00.3.

From the late arrivals, we learn that a very serious disturbance has arisen between the Chi nese and the English forces stationed near Can ton, which has resulted in the bombardment of the city by the British. The cause of the collis ion seems to have been to t follows : A lorcha, under the British Ilag at anchor off Canton, was boarded'on the Bth of October, by a Chines force, and- twelve of the crew Seized. Consnl Parker proceeded on board, and was in .ollted and threatened with violence. The remon straticeiti made to Yeh were treated with contempt. On the 21st of October, the matter - Vas placed in the hands of Admiral Seymour, who demanded that the Chinese should restore the crew, accom panied with a suitable explanation and apology. This was refused ; whereupon hostile measures commenced on the 24th of October. The forts of Canton were taken, and several of them de stroyed. Yeh, Governor General of the Province, per sisted in rejecting Admiral Seymour's demands for satisfaction, or even an interview. On the 27th of October, fire was opened on the city walls, and on the Governor's palace. The city walls were breached and stormed on the 29th of October. The troops penetrated to the palace, but were withdrawn in the evening. The loss was three killed and twelve wounded. Attempts at negotiation continued fruitless; and on the ad and 4th of November, the old city was bombarded. On the 6th of November, twenty-three war junks were attacked by the Barracauta, and all destroyed. Time was again granted to the Chinese; but no signs were given of submission. According to thelast accounts, the Bouge forts had been captured. The factories had been almost totally vacated by the 'foreign community. Property to a large amount had been destroyed by - fire. Commerce was at a stand still. The correspondent of the New York Times writes, that during the fire, the house of Rev. J. R.Yrench, one of our American missionaries, was totally.:destroyed, together with its contents. Mr. French removed almost nothing, having been assured that his house was out of danger. His books, manuscripts,. and much property be longing to the mission were, therefore, all lost,. as well as his hospital and stone, which have been the means of relief tomanfthousands of patients. Our Consul, `General Keenan, `carried the American flag through the breach made in the wall by the British but this act was wholly dis avowed by Commander Foote, of the United States Navy, in command of the American force at that station. Owing to the fact that an Ameri can steamer had been fired into by the Chinese, some ten days previous to the outbreak, to the great excitement prevailing, and to the acknowl ment, by the Governor. General, that his people might not readily, 41istinguish between the British and Americans, Dr. ; Parker, the United States Commissioner, had arrived from Shanghai, and the whole American force in the Bast,lndies and China had:been concentrated at Canton, for the protection of American life, and property.

Persia. The advices in relation to Persian affairs are contradictory. The Persian Minister has left Constantinople for Marseilles. Latest. By the arrival of the Persia at New York, on the 24th inst., we learn that the Paris Cmi ference closed on the evening of Tuesday, the 6th, by the signing of a protocol which pur'orts to terminate the difficulties that have hitherto prevented the execution of the treaties of the 30th of March. Russia agrees to cede Bolgrad and the Isle of Serpents to. Turkey; ,. and it.has been decided that on the 30th of next month, at latest, the fixing of the boundary shall be effected, and that at the same date: the Austrian troops:and the British squadron shall have evacuated the Danubian Principalities and the internal waters of Turkey.

Thee—At her residents, In Indianapolis, on the 17th Dec., Annie, wife of William Braden, and daughter of Abel Mill kin, Aged 27 years. Of this amiable woman we might say much; but for the sake of brevity, peas on to the Closing scene to her life. Her disease was consumption. Her affectionate husband had spared neither pains nor expense; taking her to Eastern eit.eS for medical advice; and through the last - Winter, to a residence in the South. with but little behefit. In better health than usual, she atten...ed the funeral of her brother, S amue l minutia, M. 8., who died of the same disease, at Hamilton, Ohio; but on the fourth day after her return, be gan to decline rapidly, and lived but sixteen days. Having for a considerable time enjoyed a comfortable hope, it had been her desire to attend on some sacramental occasion, that she might be admitted to the communion of the Church, end take her place at the Lord's table, but bad not been able to do so; and now, under the impression that death was near, It seemed that the last opportunity was about to pass away. At her request, therefore, the Session of the First Presbyterian church came to her room, and received her on examination; and on the Sabbath before her death, at the close of communion service in the church, the elders, with a portion of the members, repaired to her room, where the ordinance was administered to her and others, greatly to her comfort: It was a most solemn season, on which she delighted to dwell,Und to talkduring the few hours *etre- Mained toher in this life. On Tuesday, her sister and brotheri in-law arrived. She said, "Now let ushave worship:" which was attended to. She then called her friends around her, and said she was dying, and would soon be with her Saviour. She spoke to each one in turn; and then called for her little daughter,(an only child, about four years old.) rejoiced that rho had been beittlied, prayed over her most ferventlY, and then committed her to her shier, beseeching her to train her up in the fear of-God.- A friend now came in. She said, " Mr. —, lam dying ; will you pray 1" He did, ro. She then asked if there was any One present who was an unbe liever, and out of the ark of safety, affectionately exhorting such to fly to Christ. Being now much exbatisted, she said, "Let us rest; I go to my Saviour, who lees prepared splace for me; let me sleep." She then fell asleep, and died with out waking, in about two :hours and shelf. Thus a loved gone has passed away. ,The stroke is deeply felt.

Dirr)--On 'Wednesday morning, the nit . tit the hence other fatber•in-law. in Olivesburg. Richland County, Ohio. MARTHA Taunt, wife of J. R. Burgett, in the 23d year of her age. She' died, as she lived - -a Christian. She gave herself. to the Saviour very early in life r ind continued faithfid, meek; patient, and cheerful till the last. ;Deprived inchildhood of her parents, the, with an only brother, younger than her self, seemed always to enjoy God's peculiar pleasing and farer. Raving then no parental home, her time was spent among her friends or at school, either sea pripil or atelether, and so mild and amiable was her'isposition; that she never failed to:win the love-of all around. ".She never had an enemy in the world," is nrenterk repeatedly made by per- , sons who knew her. 'When she became a wife; she immedl- devoted herself to the promotion of her husband's conifirt, and with hearts of love and gratitude to God, they,. for seventeen months, walked together through this thorny wilderness, in happiness and peace.. She was looking for ward with hope, joy, and fear, to the completion of her bus band's studies, when as the wife of a minister of the Gospel, she could devote herself more exelusively to God. But in the midst of her anxious hopes, fond anticipations, and dili gent preparations, her blessed Saviour called her hildnetele and she went ;with calm and quiet joy. Numerous friends in Washington County, and New Brighton, Pa., as well as in the city`of. Hathilton, Ohio, and other places, can testify to her'amiable and quiet life, her 'Chrigtian devotion, and her ardent zeal for thesalvatien of souls. It is sweet consolation to her bereaved husband to know, that hundreds—schoolmates, pupils, and friends—are ming, Hug their, tears with his,. in tender sympathy for his loss, lint it is sweeter Consolation still to know, that she left he: hind the brightest evidenCe that sies is now at rest. No re port of her danger, or of approaching dissolution—not even an interview with her . newly arrived brother, could raffle her peace or disturb her composure. Her constant remark was, that she was happy, and she wee sorry her weeping husband and friends were not. "I fear I have too much confidence," she once said. "My hope is in the Saviour. Ile will be with me. He leadlith me' in the paths of right eousness for his own natne's Tea,‘though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I wiliTear no evil, for thou art with me; thy rod and thy stalk they coin fort me." She felt a deep seise of her own nothingness, and prayed for pardon and forgiveness through the Saviour's blood. When her little babe was brought to her, she took it in her arms, and kissing it repeatedly, said, "Ah my dear little Anna, I must leave you- Ton have not had a mother king; but God will take rare of, you, dear little Anna." Then clasping both husband and babe in ber arms, she re marked, "It seems bard to leave you both; but God has greatly bleased us. Goodness and mercy have followed us all Our lives. We have lived. very happily here; but in heaven, our happiness will be perfect, and subject to no change. Do not weep, dear friends. I feel happy. God death all things well. "Jeans can make a dying lied ' - Feel soft as downy pillows are; While on his breast I lean my head, And breathe my soul ant sweetly there." t Death had no terrors for her. It was only a sweet and gentle sleep which was falling upon her, because she saw the Saviour with the eye of filth, and trusted in him. When asked by her husband at diff.renttimes, if ebe saw the pearly gates of heaven. or the shining robes of angels, or any vision of the Saviour, she replied, "No, not yet; I only lean upon the Saviour, and I feel so comforta ble •nd happy." She kisset those around her, and giving them ter hand, bade; them "good-bye.' "Be ye also ready," was her earnest exhortation, "for pi know not when death will come." Her mind frequently wandered when upon other subjects; but on that of . religion it vas always at home. Reason never forsook hPr here. Her favorite hymn in , life was beautifully expressive of her last ma. manta : • Such is the death of the rightcons. Could superstition or fan al kir= throw around one dying such an air of calmness and composure, or pour into the soul ruch sweet and quiet joy f Thcise who were well acquainted with'this beloved and now gloriSed one, could surely never charge her with fanaticism. She was ever remarkable for her self-possession and freedom from excitement in life, and we cannot think that in death she would lose these eliaracterisfies, and be in- Snowed by mere enthusiasm. She did not profess to MO any vision@ of bright angels or pee- ly gates. She only trusted. in Jesus, and was patient. This is our religion. This is Christianity. Oh I that this glorious teetimony,to the truth, the valne add sufficiency of the blessed Gospel of the Saviour, might be sanctified to all within the wide cir de of her friende and acquaintances, and that Its Influenee might extend on and on, fill time shall be no more. Oath a result could not do otherwise than pour bappino's and joy into the bleeding heart of her lonely husband. . ABMs, be bows submissively to the str, ke, and kissing the rod, would say with humility and earnestness, "Thy refit, 0 Lord; be done."
