PBAOSI WILL TEIIOI4IPII, an Address before the
American Peace Society, at its Twonty-ninth
Anniversary, Boston , May 26th, 1857. By
.Rufus P. Stebbins, D.D.
This address is worthy of being circulated and
read, throughout the land and the 'world. It
ably pleads the cause of religion and humanity,
and presents evidences of progress, and grounds
of hope most cheering. Wars shall cease. They
are now far less frequent than formerly, and
greatly mitigated as to cruelty. Non belliger
ents are respected WI to their persons and-prop
erty. Captives are treated humanely. Difficul
ties' are often settled by mediation. The good
offices of friendly powers are tendered and ac
cepted. It is the Gospel .'bf peace which is pro
diming the change, and the Gospel spirit is to
pervade the earth. The nations will then learn
war no more. Peace: Societies are one of the
means of influence; but the main instrumentality
is Rut forth by the evangelical spirit, in Church
ordinaidei, Sabbath Schools, Missions, Bible and
Tract Societies, Ito. Let Christians, both politi
cally and ,religiously, do their proper part, and
the day .of' triumph will hasten.
TINT LljiE ur THE HOLY LAND. By William C.
Prinze,: Author. of "Boat Life in Egypt and
Nubia," •'!Phe Old House by the River," &e.
12m0., pp. 498. New <York: Harper 4• 13r05.,
Franklin Square. 1857.
Much as we were pleased with Mr. Prime's
"Boat Life in Egypt and Nubia," which we ad
mire for its fresh, sketchy, and effective descrip
tions, we are still more delighted with his "Tent
Life in the Holy Land." There are two ways of
'writing travels. A Tourist who Passes through
Europe may supply himself with Murray's Hand- -
books, and a good Gazetteer. By the aid of these
works, an ordinary writer may, after spending a
few hours in each locality of note, set forth a,
wondrous array of antiquarian, biographical, his
torical, and topographical knowledge which Will
surprise the thoughtless reader. All this, how
ever, is fully comprehended by educated persons
who are aware of the facilities which London
puts within the reach of travelers.. Another
'way, and the one adopted by Mr. Prime, is to
make no pretence of inordinate information, but
to pour out 'lds impressions as they were felt
when he looked upon the scenes, which he de
scribes. This work on the Holy Land is a sequel
to that on Egypt, and we have great pleasure in
commending them, both to our, readers as well
worthy their perusal. Our readers may remember
that in noticing Harper's Magazine, a few months
since, we adverted with digtinguished approval,
to an article on Palestine, in which there was
given the most valuable Oland-plan which we
had ever ueen of the " Holy Places " in Jerusa
lem. This plan we are happy to find, was taken
from the volume before us, and will be found at
the commencement of the seventeenth chapter.
There are Strange coincidenoes in literature, as
well as' in other things. We remember several
years ago being puzzled with a description of the
church erected at' Jerusalem, by the Empress
Helena, written by: Adamnan, the abbot of lona.
The narrative is given by Bede in his Ecclesias
tical History, Chap. XV. Modern readers, whose
Ideas of churches are fashioned by what they see
in this country and in Britain, will find the nar
rative utterly unintelligible; but Mr. Prime's
book removes the difficulty, and makes the whole
matter plain ; and thus it is that an American
traveler in the nineteenth century, unintention
ally throws light on a most valuable relic of an
tiquity from the hand of an Irish Monk, the com
panion and biographer of Columba, who labored
among a barbarous people more than eleven cen
turies ago.
• Again we commend this , book to our
readers. '
TeX PUBLIC Olt-ATiONS of DEMOSTHENNS, in two
Tole., 12mo. Edited by Charles Bann Kennedy.
Yel. 1., pp. 820; Vol. IL, pp. 418. New York:
Harper t Bros. 1867.
Here we have two volumes additional of Harp
ers Classical ;' , Library, displaying, if possible,
more of that high literary excellence and pro
found classical research which have character
ized the former volumes. The first volume con
tains the Olynthiacs, the Philippics and his Let
ters. There, are, five Appendices given on sub
jecta connected with Athens and Greek affairs, in
the days of •Demosthenes. The second volume is
occupied with, the Orations on the Crown and on
the Embassy. Jon valuable Appendices are given
in this volume, and we do not hesitatein saying
that we lave, never seen such scholarship dis
played in, the, editing of any work.
THE Paorrasoa ; A Tale. By Currer Bell, au
thor of " Jane Eyre," "Shirley," " Villette,"
&a. 12mo, pp. 330. New York; Harper 4-
Bros. 1857.
We have never hesitated to avow our contempt
for the great mass of ordinary trash which, in
the form of novels and tales, is continually issu
ing from the press. At times, however, a work
of power appears, which, from its merits, com
mands attention. Such have been the produc
tions of the Brant° family: With glaring-faults
in taste and construction, still they, have arrested
the attention of grave and learned Reviewers ;
and now that their authors have passed away,
they have made the old parsonage on the bleak
hill side of Haworth, in Yorkshire, famous. The
fact is certainly worth noting, that so long as
these talented sisters drew-on their imaginations,
they could find no publishers for their works ;
but as soon as they began to, embody the strange
incidents of their own, extraordinary lives, and
thus approach to the actual and real in life, they
fontidzziot.only'men to publish, but thousands. to
read their productions.
Tan Fonrcros or Gnat:moan. By Charles Lever,
author of. t 4 The Daltons,9 Bvo., pp.
180. New York: Harper f Bros. 1857.
The success of Lever in delineating Irish char
acter in connexion with military adventure, has
been unbounded. In' his '.prefice to this work,
he confesses that he has aspired to success in
another department, and accordingly we have a
fiction in high life, in which ditilomats, ambas
sadors, and public functionaries prevail. Lever
can write nothing without force, but we are in
clined to think that the public will prefer him
when he keeps to his own department.
Tire Beaux! RYZ. A Sequel to " Lavingro."
By George Borrow, author of "The Bible in
Spain," "The Gipsies in Spain,"
&c. Bvo.,
pp. 141. New York : Harper i f Bros. 1857.
The reading public are familiar with the pecu
liar style, and strange wanderings of Borrow.
The work before us we have' not bad time to ex
amine, but we see that in:the Appendix he en
deavors to set the Duke of Wellington in what he
thinks is, the right place, namely, below Nelson,
Napoleon,mand several oft Napoleon's Generals,
but considerably higher than the English Whigs
and Radicals estimated him.

Intemperance—Another Remedy Needed.
MR. Enrrou :—A. few months since, your
truly talented correspondent, W. M. F., in
peculiar perplexity, asked you as a Doctor
to prescribe for hina ; and it is hoped that
your admirable preseription may effect a per
manent cure. Having' succeeded so well in
one instance, you will not be displeased if I
also should ask for your attention and pre
seription; the more especially as your cor
respondent and myself attended for many
years the same humble log.school, before we
left the paternal roof, and often spread our
mathematical calculations on the same slate,
and, had the same hills, and valleys, fields,
meadows, and shady play-around, to give us
our incipientimpressions "valleys spread
forth," and "gardens by the river's side,"
and "trees,; of lignaloes which the Lord
bath planted," .and " ; cedar trees beside the
waters." . : {See Num. xxiv : 6.
Churches sometimes become fearfully dis
eased. I will now present before you the
case of a diseased church. You mast not,
however, believe that I am trying to give a
perfectly accurate picture of any particular
church
-known to me : you must take it for
granted that memory and imagination have
each a hand in the painting that'now passes
before your eye. Suppose that a young
minister settles in an old and large congre
gation, and a village of about six hundred
inhabitants, and before he reaches the'place,
he has heard of its peculiar intemperance.
He commences his pastoral labors. He
walks out on the cold and stormy evening,
and finds the hoary father on the side of the
road, bent down in the mud, unable to walk
any further, who a few hours ago was able
to walk to the drarnshop in the village; and
on another evening sees the young man
riding out, scarcely able to keep himself on
the horse. One of his elders assures him
that a great portion of his church use alco
holic drinks aLmost daily, and that some of
his, members ,can scarcely ever be found
completelysoberiand that he must be very care
ful how he touches the subject, or they will
be offended. He seeks a conversation with
a whiskey-vender, and this man assures him
that his own members, yes his elders, are
doing more to support intemperance than
any other class of men. He seeks conver
sation with the Tilling men of his church,
and learns that there is scarcely one young
man in the village who does not go to the
dramshop. In such circumstances, you will,
of course,
say . that it is his duty to lift up
in the pulpit, the voice of earnest warning
against the teniptations to intemperance."
He preaches; and his members, some of
them, go away mad from the' church, and
assert that a few more such sermons will
burn 'the church down. He finds among
his members an ignorant prejudice in favor
of intoxicating drinks, of which he some
some months ago. had no suspicion. His
preaching has stirred up many to discuss
the subject; hut the drinking in the church
does not appear to be checked. Most re
spectable, men assure him that his members
still continue to drink, until their walk is
almost changed into a stagger. He feels
that the rod of discipline must be used on
his members. Still he would not, have his
members breught before the Session for trial,
if it, is possible to apply a milder remedy.
Itmourns to him that it may be the most
prudent muse to forget the past, but assure
his members from the pulpit that such
drinking cannot be suffered any longer to
escape diecipline. The church appears to
him to need some expression of correct sen
timent, ftem the Session, on the subject of
temperance- He has never yet had one
doubt but that the majority of the Session
cordially stand by him in all his preaching
andprinciples. Ileconsequentlypreparessuch
a document as, the following, calls his elders
and deacons together, and asks them to put
their names to it.
Now attend, -Mr. Editor to every virbrd.
"The 'officers of this - Presbyterian -
church, the elders and deacons, feel them
selves required by their present peculiarly
trying circumstances, such as the. most de- •
plorable prevalence of drunkenness in our
community, the popular favor which appeafe
to encourage the evil rather than rebu
it, the wretchedness which it is causing in
many families, the most dangerous tempta
tions which it is placing before our beloved
youth;the bad name which it, is giving us
abroad, and the ` insinuations that many of
our church-members are deeply involved in
the guilt, to explain to the public what is
the ground which they occupy,, and which
they believe the church ought to occupy on
the subject of temperance:
" We believe that an article may not be
forbidden by any law of health, or any ex
press injunction of the Bible, yet Christian
charity, or a kind regard for our neighbors'
welfare may cause Christians to feel it ,to
be their duty to abstain from any use of it.
If there was '"a, strong probability that a
brother wired be offended or injured there
by, the Apostle Paul would never either eat
flesh or drink wine.
"We believe that even if it could be
proved that the use of the present popular
intoxicating drinks does send some little
streams of health and comfort through socie
ty, yet it must be obvious to every ,one, that
it produces a thousand fold more crime than
morality, and disease than health, and de
gradation than refinement, and perdition
than comfort, and it is supreme stupidity to
bring on ourselves one thousand curses for
only one comfort, when each one of the
thousand more than overbalances all the com
fort. That use of intoxicating drinks, which is
considered by its friends, as social, moderate,
and polite, if we consider the evils that grow
out of it, and that could never commence
without it, must be condemned.
"If we may believe able physicians and
physiologists, it is unquestionable that no
dram of fermented and distilled liquor is
ever taken into healthy stomach, without in
jury to it and to the' vital functions
generally. It produces an unnatural ex
eitemang, and the system must suffer.
There-is no health or enjoyment or comfort
in society,. which requires <the existence of
dramshops or taverns supplied with whiskey.
Leonard
TEE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCATE
We have torrents of woe from our drinking '
places, without even one drop of benefit from
them as 'drinking places.
" It is, accordingly, our most decided judg
ment, that the members -of our church
should most conscientiously abstain from all
appearance of countenance, or support to
the present use of intoxicating drinks. By
all• that love which the Christian has for the
kingdom of God, and the perishing souls of
men, we do urge it on all our members, that
they never enter a dramshop or tavern to
obtain a dram, and that they forbid dram
drinking at their houses—that they never
mingle their conversation, jests, and lauglia
or smiles with the company of men engaged
in 'drinking, as if they could find it pleasant
to be in such company—that they set them
, selves against the furnishing of liqudr when
I sheep are washed; that they never admit
one drop of liquor to the harvest field,; and
that, in all possible ways which are
they express their abhorrence of intemper
ance. • We ought to be willing to endure an
immense 'self-sacrifice that this evil may be
removed, but there is no self-Sacrifice in all
that we are now asking. iSiottling are we
asking from you except to abstain from scan
dalously indecent conduct,. and show your
disapprobation of such conduct. If you
cannot do this much for the cause of Christ,
consider it as most doubtful whether your
hearts have ever known the love of Jesus.
We desire to see our churoh wash herself
pure and spotless from this abomination ;
we desire to see her cast out all guilt in this
matter from her bosom, as the HebreWs cast
out all leaven from their houses at the Naa r
over." "signed.."
The youthful minister now says to his
elders and deacons r This paper is now sub
mitted to you; perhaps some things should
be substracted from it, or added to it, or
changed, but I do want some such :a paper
as this, subscribed by you, to read from the
pulpit, and prove that you hold up my
hands in opposing intemperance. The elder
to whom all the others look as their leader,
objects strongly to, the statement that able
physicians and physiologists testify that a
healthy stomach is always injured by a dram
of fermented and distilled liquor. The min
ister, then explains that ,
no wine mentioned
in the-Scriptures, was ever alermented and
distilled liquor, that new wine contains no
alcohol, and old wine is fermented but not
distilled. • He then brings several books
into the meeting, and reads to, them the fol
lowing, and many similar authorities :
The testimony of Sir Astley Cooper :--
"If the poor could see the white livers, the
,
dropsies, and the shattered nervous systems,
which I have seen, as the consequences of
drinking, they would be aware, -that spirits;
and
_poisons are synonymous terms."
Suppose that the minister reads to his
elders and Aeacons, many such authorities;
and gives them the evidence of Dr. Beau
inont,in relation to the evil effects of spirituous
liquors on the stomach of Alexis . St. Martin,
and then reminds them how peculiarly deist=
germs intoxicating liquor now, is, if, the're
ports are true, that strychnine and, other
poisons are used in its preparation. Is not
the • minister now pursuing a' judicious
course to bring the elders and church to feel
and act as they ought? Can you,. Mr.
Editor, think of a better remedy for a
church that needs reform ?
Think not, Mr. Editor, that all this is im
agination's sketch. Traveling in' the West
a few weeks since, I heard of a church, the
life of which depends on a distillery ; and
a minister who preached boldly against the
distillery, could not preach again. If our
churches are coming to this, is it not high
time that we open our eyes 7 Give us the
voice of earnest warning from your lofty
place on Zion's walls. M. IL M.

Par the Preabyterian 13anner and'Adiocate
MY REAR LITTLE COTIEINS:--It has
been my intention, for some time past, to
write one , of my familiar letters to you; but
my time has been occupied so constantly,.
that I have not had an opportunity of so
doing. Well, Spring did come once more,
and the Summer begins, and the trees are
green, and seem to feel so hippy when the wind
plays among their branches, and the sweet
little birds , sing their morning and evening
songs in their lofty boughs.
Children do you ever think that the
trees are living objects—that they breathe
and drink as you do ? Perhaps some of
you have never heard of this. I will tell
you' about it. Trees and plants are fur
nished with roots, which creep along under
the ground, and their use is to furnish food
or nourishment for them, while growing.
From the root there comes a stem, and after
a while the green leaves begin to show
themselves. The use of the stem is to sus
tain the leaves and branches and to com
municate the light and air to the roots.
, Botanists say if a plant is watered with any
colored liquid, it will, after a, while, show
that the fluid has ascended into the stem.
The,leaves are the lungs of the plant; they
convey the air to all parts of the plants,
and also throw of all gases which are in
jurious to them.
Did you ever hear of the " Banyan
tree,, of Northern India ? Travelers say
that the branches that grow from the trees,
after they become of a certain length, bend
down to the ground and take root again.
Thus, from one tree, after a while, a whele,
forest arises. The Hindoos think it is a
holy tree, and plant it near their temples.
I have heard of some cases where it has
served for a temple, it being capable of ac
commodating several thousand people be
neath its wide branches.
I will tell -you of a friend of mine who
has two boys, and a little. girl, :who are
passionately fond of flowers. These children
were in the habit of going into the garden
and watching the gardener as he took care
of his beautiful flowers and vegetables.
George was very kind to them, and used to
answer all of their questions, and would
often give them some choice flowers for
their Ma, who was in delicate health. •
One morning the children came into the
dining-room in great excitement, to ask a
great favor of Papa. Harry, who was, the
eldest, wanted to be heard first, as did Paul,
who was two years younger. Little Ella,
who was sitting on her father's knee, opened
her large blue eyes in astonishment, wonder
ing what they wanted in such great haste.
"One at a time, my dears," said. Papa.
( 4 Well, sir," said Harry, "we want to
know if you will please be so kind as to buy
some hoes :and< rakes, and a shovel, and a
wheelbarrow, for us? George says we may
have the ground behind the kitchen window,
for a garden ; and we cannot do any thing
until we get these things."
" Well, my sons," exclaimed Mr. Grant,
"how do I know whether you will use the
articles, after they are got, in a right man
ner? You will get tired of gardening, I
fear, and your gardens will all wither."
":Well, Pa, I'm determined to try," said
Paul.
" And' so am 1,” said Harry.
I must not forget to tell you that these
children were in-the country, spending, the
Summer months at their place, upon the
East river. Their father went down to the
city, every morning, to his business, and re
turned in the evening ) ; consequently they
had to wait a whole day, until near dark,
for the things which they had asked for.
Their kind Pa told them he would pur
chase these things, and bring them home
with him at night. After bidding them
good-by, lie left them to go to the cars.
The boys, full of their garden schemes, went
out to consult George, as to where they
should plant their respective seeds. The
day passed merrily away, until the time
came for the cars to arrive at the depot.
After obtaining -permission from their
Mother to go down, they put on :their hats
and went to the station, and there patiently
awaited the coming of the train. Soon the
train, came on at lightning speed, and then
stopped. A few minutes more and they
f *ere on their way up to the house, followed
by a porter, carrying, the coveted articles.
The next morning they were out very early
to try what, or how, and where the things
should be planted. George gave them some
early lettuce and cabbage plants to set out,
and then 'they planted some peas, and
potatoes, and beans.
A few days . after, some of their friends
came to see them, and they took great pleas
ure in showing their garden to them.
"Paul, if you.' will come over to our
house, I?l1 give you some of my tomatoes,
and cauliflower plants; to set out." •
Paul thanked them, and profnised to go.
A few days 'after ,they took a basket, and
7
went over to. Mr. West's,. who was the
father of their friend. West invited
them to tea; and. after they had stayed un
til it was time to return, they started for
home. Before they left, they, were supplied
with,a large boquet of rare flowers for their
mother; and some, strawberries for little Ella.
Paul and Henry' had quite a collection of
plants for their garden and several slips of
bushes to plant in the back yard.
L must stop now, and I will tell you in my
next how they succeeded with their gardens.
You must ask your parents to let you study
Botany for I ana sure you will be very fond
Good-by. With much love, I am, •as
ever, your •affectionate cousin,

Trust in God.

How wondrous is God's poerer,'for he bath taught

The weary pilgrim, who could hardly stand
Beneath the burden of a sadd'ning thought,
To trust his love, and bless his chastening hand
Not the dependence which a slave might feel
Upon a Lord whose interest it is
To feed, and clothe, and guard„ . with ready zeal,

But the fresh confidence a joyous child
KnOws for the care a father's actions prove ; -

While His life-giving touch doth strength impart
To bear the cross on earth, the crown on high,
To love and trust in Him with all, my heart.

Before the storm my spirit would not quail,
If by God's grace I knew he let it come.

Into a soft caress that lulls to sleep
And oft impatiently my spirit yearns
For that repose from which none wake to weep.

Gethsemane.
Lieut. Lynch of the United States Ex
ploring Expedition to the River Jordan, and
the Red Sea, in - 1848, visited the Garden
of Gethsemane about the month of May.
He says
"The clover upon the ground was in
bloom. The garden in its aspects and as
sociations, is better culculated than any
place I know, to soothe a troubled mind.
Eight venerable trees, isolated from the
smaller and less imposing ones which skirt
the Mount of Olives, form a consecrated
grove. High above on either hand, towers
a lofty mountain,with the deep yawning chasm
of J ehosaphat, between them: Crowning
one of them is a living city; on the slope of
the other is the great Jewish Cemetery—
City of the Dead. Each tree in the grove,
cankered, and gnarled, and furrowed by
age, yet beautiful and impressive in its de
cay, is a living monument of the affecting
scenes that have taken place beneath and
around it. The'olive perpetuates itself. • From
the root, of the dYing parent , stem, the tree
springs into existence. These, are accoun
ted one thousand years old. Under those
of the preceding growth, therefore the Say
lour was wont to rest; and one of the present
may mark the very, spot where he knelt, and
prayed, and:wept. No caviling doubt can
find entrance here.- The geographical boun
daries are too distinct and clear for a mo
ment's hesitation. Here the Christian, for
getful of-the present, and absorbed in the
past, can resign himself to sad, yet sooth
ing meditation. The few purple and crim
son flowers growing about the roots of the
trees, will give ample food for contemplation,
for they tell of the suffering and ensau
guhaed death of the Redeemer."
How TO BE BEAUTIFUL. — If a man Or
woman either, wish to realize the full power
of personal beauty, it must be by cherishing
noble actions and purposes—by having some
thing to do, and something to live for which
is worthy of humanity, and which, by ex
panding the capacities of the soul, gives ex
pansion and symmetry to the body which
contains it.—Professor Upham.

expressibly sweet about little grls. Lively,

They are little human flowers, diamond dew
drops of the breath of morn. `
Don't Keep the Bow Always Bent
I have been employed these last three
hours with John Elliot and other boys in
trying how long we could keep up two crick
et balls. Lord Minto caught us. He says
he must send me on a mission to some very
young monarch, for that I shall never have
the gravity of an ambassador for a prince
turned of twelve. He, however, added the
well-known and admirable story of Henry
IV., of France, who, when caught on all
fours, carrying one of his children, by the
Spanish envoy, looked . up and said, "Is
your excellency married?" "I am, and
have a family, wad' the reply. "
then," said the-monarch, I am , satisfied,
and shall take another turn around the
room ;" and off he galloped, with his little
son, flogging and spurring him on his back.
I have sometimes thought of breaking my
_
self of what are termed beyish habits but 1
reflection has satisfied me that it would be
very foolish, and that I should esteem it a
blessing that I can find amusement in every
thing, from tossing a cricket-ball to ne
gotiating a treaty with, the Emperor , of
Qhina. Men who will give themselvee' en
tirely to business and despise (which is their
term) trifles, are very able in their general
conception of the great outlines of a plan,
but they feel a want of that knowledge which
is only to be, gained by mixing with all
dames in the world, when they come• to
those lesser points upon which its successful

The End of the , 'United States Bank.
Last week all the old books, papers, drafts,
checks, letters, 4c, that had been prederved
on file as vouchers in the long course of the
immense business of the United States
Bank, were sold in a heap in Philadelphia,
and purchased by "_a paper-maker, to be -re
ground and manufactured into new stock.
The whole mass weighed- over forty tons.
Ten tons of this vast amount is of correspond
ence—autograph letters of the first states
men, politicians, and financial men of this
and other countries. Draftstipon the Roths
childs for hundreds of thousands of dollars,
certificates of stock transferred to the leading
bankers in Europe, checks and idrafts from
Cabinet 'officers, Senators, Congressmen, edi
tors of newspapers, Sze., ile scattered, ready
for the important transformation into clean,
unsullied, white paper. This huge mass of
books and papers strikes the visitor with as
tonishment. A faint idea may be formed
of the colossal character of the institution
which at one time occupied so important a
part ; in the history of . the country. What a
vast storehouse these'papers would be for • in
dividual. histories and perchance they w i ould
illuitrate some unexplained passages in the
history of the political parties of, the day.
A msTrriGuasHED CHEMIST, in a recent
lecture, while showing that all species of
moving power have their origin in the rays
of the sun, stated that while the iron tubu
lar railroad bridge over the Menai straits, in
England, four hundred feet long, bent but
half an inch under the heaviest pressure of
a train, it will bend an inch and a half from
its usual horizontal line, when the sun
shines upon it for some hours. He stated
that Bunker Hill. Monument is higher in the
evening than in the morning of a sunny day;
the little sunbeams enter the pores of the
stones• like so many wedges, lifting it up.
THREE hungry travelers found a bag of
gold;
One ran into town where bread was sold.
He thought, I will poison the bread I buy,
And seize the treasure when my comrades
die.
But they, too, thought, when back his feet
have hied,
We will destroy him and the gold divide.
They killed him, and partaking of the bread,
in a few moments.all were lying dead.
o world ! behold what thy goods have done !
Thy gold has poisoned two and murdered
one.
DISTANCE OF THE HOLY Larn).—Such
is the rapidity of travel nowadays, that the
Holy Land can be reached in less than a
month from New York. An exehange gives
as the best route, the following : First to
Liverpool, eleven days; thence to Marseilles,
four days; thence to Alexandria, eight days;
thence to Jaffa, two, days; and from Jaffa to
to the Holy City, on horseback, two days.
EMIGRATION FROM NEW ENGLAND.-
it is calculated that about three hundred thou
sand-persons will emigrate during this season
from New England to the Westan States
and Territories. The value of property they
will carry with them may be estimated at
twenty millions of dollars.

EXTENSION OF APPOINTMENT TO SUL Y/8,
DR. J. IV; SYKES,
ASSOCIATE OF
Mt. CALVIN IL FITCH,
will remain at the ST. CLAIR HOTEL, Pittsburgh, Pa., till
SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 18th, where he may be con
sulted by those wishing to avail themselves *of Dr. C.
Fitob's system of treatment.
The combination of remedial measures adopted by Dr.
Fitch and Dr. Sykes has been co amplytested. and so aband
wetly proved to be in practice all that it claims to be in
theory, that its originators do not hesitate to assert, that by
their system, relief may be obtained in all cases not alma
lutely beyond the reach of remedies.
By this plan of treatment, the advantage of Medicinal
and Sthenotrophic Inhalations is added to that of appropri.
ate internal remedies, to renovate and sustain the strength
of the general, system, and these with -such mechanical
means as the case may indicate, joined to proper attention
to exercise, diet, bathing, friction, etc., &a, will not only
afford more or lees relief in almost all cases, but will effect
permanent cures in many cases, in which only partial and
temporary relief could be obtained from any one of thet
above measures singly. But although manyotherwise fatal
cases of consumption may be thus relieved, there are` still
many which have passed beyond hope; and those who are
in any way inclined to a disease so insidious, and so fearful
ly fatal as consumption, cannot be too careful to give their
cases timely attention. The delay eyed' of a few weeks may,
in many cases, turn the scale against the patient.
Where it is possible, we always prefer to make apersonal
examination, and thus ascertain the precise condition of the
Lungs as we wish to undertake no awe where we have not
a chance of doing good; and we wish no one to consult us
who is not ready to hear the truth.
Those unable to visit UR will, in writing, be careful to
state their cases fully, answering, at length, our published
list of questions„ which which will be sent to any requesting it;
and the necessary remedies, as well for diseases of the
Lungs and Stomach, as for Pemale.Diseases, maybe sent by
Express to almost anSipirt of the United States.
