A Trifling Gift.
A trifling gift—one little rose,
Just bursting into bloom
For finch the little stranger was,
Which came with rich perfume,
To cheer me in my loneliness,
And drive sad thoughts away;
A foretaste of that garden fair
Whose flow'rets ne'er decay.
One little rose! and yet how much
This welcome gift I prize !
No golden treasure ever seemed
So beauteous in my eyes.
The kindly tone and look it bore
To other charms gave birth ;
Enchanting, as they clustered there,
Its own intrinsic 'worth.
How oft one kind and gentle word
Will peace and joi . impart,
And make the warmest sunshine glow
Upon the saddest heart!
HOW oft one trilling gift will speak,
Where words are heeded not!
t The heart soon learns the tho'ts to read
That seeks to soothe its lot. „
` Sweet memories linger round each flower
Which friendship ever gave ;
, A holy,incense floating o'er
Each little perfumec,l grave.
From every withered leaf and bud
Flows forth'a touching strain,
Till, voice and lute in memory's ear
Echo the'soft refrain.
I dearly love such chosen gifts,
For in them all I find
A welcome balm, most sweet and`pure,
To cheer the lonely mind ;
And nestling 'mid the velvet leaves
There seems some fairy fair,
In perfumed Whispers breathing forth
The kind thoughts written there,
Still,come to me in all your pride,
Ye blushing roses bright!
Each petal can a page unfold,
Aly Spirit to Ale
I joyib feel your presence near,
Surrounding me with love—
Like holy angels, freely sent,
With blessings from above.

We have often wondered how Mr. James sue
coeds in putting so much history, topographisal
description, and fiction, on paper, as he does.
He is the •lineal successor of SirMalter Scott, in
depicting the roniance of chivalry. Thescene of
this tale is laid in the reigns of Charles VIII.
and Louis XII. ,
Of France, and the incidents are
connected with the invasion of Naples by the
former monarch. Let no one, from our occasion
al notice of a work of this kind, infer that we
spend much time in Novel-reading, or that we
approve Of, the practice in (airs. We regard it
'as being deeply injurious.

„4- Co
The proceedings of the New School Assembly
have`made the community tolerably well acquaint
ed with the views of Dr. Ross on Slavery. He
is known, to be Ora in his opinious, and we do
not think that his book, any, more , than his
speeches when they were delivered, will make
many converts to his views. This volume con
tains his speech before the General Assembly at
Buffalo, his speech before the Assembly at New
York,'a letter to Rev. A. BlackbUrn, an Essay on
the question " What is the Foundation of Moral
Obligation ?" and four letters to the Rev. A.
Barnes, of Philadelphia. We have said' that his
reasonings are not likely to convert many to his
present views of slavery; and we may add that
according to our judgment he is not a more acute
metaphysician, or sounder ethical philosopher
than Edwards, as any intelligent reader of his
Easy will easily. perceive. We have not seen a
more extraordinary ethical Essay than this one
from the pen of Dr. Ross, for a considerable
time, but we have neither time nor space to ana
lyse it.

Guthrie, D.D., author of the " Gospel in
Ezekiel," .Bzo. 18mo., pp.. 215. New York:
Robert Carter I. Brothers. 1857.
Eminent as Dr. Guthrie is among the ministers
of the Free Church in Edinburgh as a preacher,
he stands apart end occupies a special province of
his own as the moral reformer, the friend of the
desolate and homeless, and the advocate of every
practical measure which can be applied to raise
up the degraded mass of -humanity in the capital
of Scotland, and other large towns, which are
lying- festering in disease, drunkenness, poverty
and crime. The statistics with which these dis
courses abound, and especially the information
contained in the Appendix, may be studied with
profit by all those who, whether in or out of the
ministry of our cities, have to do with similar
scenes. "The matter, style, and spirit of these
sermons, are quite worthy of the author of 4, The
Gospel in Ezekiel."

We are greatly pleased at seeing this excellent
volume in a new dress; and now given to the
public in a new edition. On a former occasion
we commended• it very heartily to our readers,
and as the work has since been revised, and new
matter has been added in connexion with the
views of Dr. Bellows, who has labored to com
mend the Theatre to the serious portion of the
community, it is still more worthy of our regard.
We-hope that this boolr may: have, : an extensive

mon.faith, that every man should look not
exclusively on his own things; but also on
the things of others; ' :and it is common ex

as to take in a view- of- the interests and
concerns of others, he finds himself fully
rewarded by the more genial and brotherly
spirit that is - thus promoted in his own bo
som.
On these grounds may I not hope that
some-or:your -readers will think it worth
While tto .followr me -in , a short . account of
various impressions produced by - a recent
excursion '-through a region of country,
which, in point of naturaladvantages, seems,
to me, more than any other. I have ever
visited, to owe great things to God, and in
which our beloved Church- has large and
dearly cherished-interests. ,
• The region I refer to, is that lying at the
Western base of the Alleghenies, between
the waters of the Youghiogheny and the
Monongahela, extending from Connellsville,
Pa., on the North, to Morgantown, Va.,
on the South—a distance of some forty
miles.
Leaving the city of Pittsburgh by the
Connellsville Railroad, you find; on your ar
rival at the latter place, a pretty aria thriv
ing rural village, such as quite relieves you
from the memory of the bluff hill-sides, and
abriminable distilleries, and cramped pros
pea. incident to your trip up - along the
bank'of the Youghiogheny.
From Connellsville to Uniontown, a dist
ance of twelve miles, which you must travel
by hack, unless you should be as fortunate
as -'I happened to be, in getting a private
conveyance, you pass through a country un
excelled for charming pastoral scenery.
What greatly enhances this, is, that you
have stretching along en your left hand, in
a ridge parallel with your course, the ver
dant and variously tinted mountain slopes,
with here and there an isolated spot of
cleared land, sometimes half way up the
side, sometimes quite on the summit, lying
there in quiet beauty, like a calm hour of
leisure amid the rough toils of life. One
of the most noticeable of these spots, you
are told, is Dunbar's Canip ; and as you catch
the sight of it from the windbags of the
'road,.; you can hardly avoid wishing you
were upon its proud heights, luxuriating in
the magnificent prospect whichit affords of
the country: through which you are passing,
and of that far off - to your right, far as
I the hills beyond the river. If you are
posted in history, you, will know from the
very name of this spot, that;it has connected
with it a historical interest--that it is the
point at which General Dunbar had, is en
campment at the time of Braddock's defeat,
and where he awaited the coming up of the
scattered fragments- of Braddock's , army.
If you are aequainted with thegeneral to
pography of this, region, you will know,
also, that just back of the camp is Count
De Jumonville's grave, one of the wildest
and most romantic spots- that a human eye
ever rested: upon,. and, having-a-tragic -inter
est pertaining to it, as the spot where he
who afterwards became the Father of his
Country, signalized himself by 'a vigorous
and well.planned movement, in cutting off a
detachment of the French army, under the
command of the': young nobleman, whose
bones, with those of his fifty companions,
have here crumbled to dust so, far from, his
native land.
For one who has alew days leisure at this
season of the year, there could be no better
recreation than a visit to these and other
historical places in , their vicinity,such , as
Washington's Spring, Fort Necessity, The
Big Meadows, &c.; and it is, pleasant to be
able to state, for the gratification of those of•
antiquarian tastes, that there is now in, press
a work from the chaste pen of Hon. James
Veech, of Uniontown,Pa, which will
contain a large amount of valuable informa
tion pertaining to these and all other points
of interest in, this region.
But •our course at present is not among
the mountains. We only keep them in
sight as we pass along Southward, catching
the great cloud-shadows sweeping over their
steep, sides, and all the while enjoying that
peculiar elevation of feeling which the sight
of mountains so generally produces
"Who but beholds the mighty chain
So massive, yet so shadowy, so etherial,
But instantly receives into his soul
A sense, a feeling tbat he loses not—
A something, that informs him 'tie a moment
Whence he may date henceforward and forever."
But these mountains serve more substan
tial uses than that of filling up a fine land-'
nape; for in them are deposited inexhause
ible beds of iron and coal, and as the result
of this, every few miles in- your course, you
come to huge fire-lit furnaces, and rolling
mills which have already done much, and
are yet to do vastly more in developing this
imbedded wealth.
As you pass the Southern boundary line
of Pennsylvania into the Cheat river coun
try, the land becomes more hilly, and I
should think, scarcely so fertile ; but es you,
approach Morgantown, it improves again in
every respect- ; In ..,passing, overthe entire,
thirty-five or forty miles, you have traversed
a country which, as regards the variety and
abundance of its minerals, chiefly iron, coal
and limestone; the fertility of its soil, adapt
ed alike to the growth of grasses, grains,
and fruits; the pure and wholesome quality
of its air and water; the surpassing beauty
of its scenery, and a general combination of
natural advantages, is inferior, I dare say, to
no other part of our land.
, And if you are a Presbyterian, you are
interested also to learn that you have tra
versed a territory occupied by some of the
principal churches of- the old mother Pres--
bytery of Redstone, viz , Connellsville, Lau
rel Hill, 'Uniontown, The Tent, George's
Creek,' Sprin.-. Hill, and Morgantown. In
deed, the larger part of the 'population
inhabiting this entire region, may be said
to be Presbyterian in their attachments and
proclivities. It is ~to be noticed, however,
that-thisi unlike , some other parts of West-.

ern Pennsylvania, is by no means the line
ally bequeathed heritage of Presbyterianism.
The first settlers here were not so generally
of Scotch-Irish descent as the first settlers
of Washington and Allegheny counties.
The proportion of immigrants from Maryland
and Virginia, was much greater; and down
to the present day, you can notice, distinctly,
the imprint on society of this more hetero
geneous lineage. Still the:re was, originally,
a considerable infusion of the
, Presbyterian
element, and true to its instinct of vitality,
it has persisted in growing and strengthen
ing, until now its influence is quite in ad
vance of every rival element. By the way,
is it not interesting as well as gratifying, to
note the hand of God in making Western
Pennsylvania the normal centre of that
immense ecclesiastical expansion which is
now taking place in the mighty West?
Much is said, sometimes, of the vitality and
active diffusive, power of the New England
element of population, This is not unjust.
But can any one pass through our principal
Western States, with his eyes open, without
being convinced that the Scotch-Irish race,
with its Presbyterian beliefs and habits—
spreading from Western Pennsylvania, as its
choicest nursery—has made its mark upon
the character and destiny of the West, in
lines so plain and bright, that there need be
no blushes when comparison is made in any
direction whatever ? Never am I more
proud of being of the Scotch-Irish descent
and of the Presbyterian faith, than when I
get out into neighborhood of the Mississippi
river, or away'beyond it, when I travel from
oneto
l another of their flourishing towns—
when visit their institutions of learning—
when I attend upon their ecclesiastical
meetings—when I enter their churches—
when I mingle with their people, and at
every point meet in positions of commanding
influence in Church and State, men who
grasp my hand with a brother's friendly
pressure, because I hail from good old West
ern Pennsylvania, the land of their birth
and childhood.
To return from this digression, however, I
wish to speak a word of Morgantown, which
was the terminus of my excursion. The town
lies on a broad plat of high table land, ern;
bosomed among hills, all commanding, for
some distance, a view of the demurest of all
rivers, the gentle old Monongahela, which is
here spanned by 'a substantial wire suspension
bridge. Thirty years ago the place was cel
ebrated as a nest of iniquity; tow it suffers
by .a comparison with no town or similar
size. Our church here owes its existence,
I believe, or at least some years of nurture in
its infant state, to the Evangelistic labors of
one of a faithful Presbyterian minister
who yet lives and labors with suc
cess in another field near by, and, to which
allusion has already been made. I speak of
the learned and venerable man whose praise
is in all the churches, in respect of many
valuable services—perhaps .most of all, as
the author of "The Great Supper," and
whon contributions to your paper, at this
time, over the familiar signature of LN.D.,
give such unequivocal proof of the unim.
paired. vigor and vivacity of his thought.
Long may God spare him to stand, as hith
erto, a champion for the truth against short
sighted error and sectarian prejudice.
While at Morgantown I became' fully•
convinced that, next to" the direct preaching
of the Gospel, nothing has done so much for
that community, as the literary institution
which has flourished among them for many
years, and is the just pride and boast of the
town. As my visit : here had a connexion
with the closing exercises of this institution,
perhaps you will admit a word of information
in regard to it.
Although chartered as an Academy, it
falls little short in thoroughness of instruc
tion, of many of our Colleges "I and in effi
cient management surpasses most of them :
thus giving a clear proof of what is now just
beginning to be discovered by some, that a
good Acaemy in our leading towns is vastly
preferable to an inferior College. The Mon
ongalia Academy is a State institution,
opened exclusively for male pupils, and has
an endowment of some
,s2s,ooo,which is
yearly increasing.
, ,The number of students at present is one
hundred and forty-one. The Principal,
Rev. J. R. Moore; of 'our Church, is ably'
,
assisted by three or four instructors. Having
attended upon the closing examinations,
and been present at the contest perform
ances on the evening of the 25th, I have no
hesitation in saying, that the scholarship
and oratorical ability displayed would not
dishonor any institution in our midst. The
discussion had reference to the proceedings
of the Vigilance Committee at San Fran
cisco, and, as might be conjectured from the
very selection of the subject, was indepen
dent and able. One of the disputants, I
was informed, is a son of one of our most
distinguished jurists, at present a member
of the United''States Cabinet.
In connexion with this Academy, it is
gratifying to be able to state, that it shared,
to a considerable extent, in the gracious vis
itation of the Holy Spirit, with which the
Presbyterian church in Morgantown was
blessed during the past Winter, and the hope
is entertained that it is thus to be honored
as a nursery for.the Christian ministry.
Were this article not already too long, I
should like now to take, the reader back with
me through a fine country intervening be
tween Morgantown and Brownsville, and
then down the quiet Monongahela on a gen
tle Summer evening, once - more to the City
of Smoke; but I fancy I hear you, Mr. Ed
itor, say, "No, no; you have had too much
allowance already!' Well, I dare not gain
say the truth. So, for the present, to you
and your readers, good-by. C.

A Wife's Influence.
A woman, in many instances, has her
husband's fortune in her power, because she
may or may not conform to his circumstances.
This is her first duty, and it ought to be
her pride. No passion for luxury or dis
play ought to tempt her for a moment to de
viate in the least degree from this line of
conduct. She will find her respectability
in it. Any other course is wretchedness it
self, and inevitably leads to ruin.
Nothing can bp more miserable than to
keep up, appearances. If it could succeed,
it.would cost more than it is worth; as it
never can, its failure involves the deepest
mortification.. Some of the sublimest ex
hibitions of human virtue have been made
by women who have been precipitated sud
denly from wealth and splendor to absolute
want.
Then a man's fortunes are in the hands
of his wife, inasmuch as his own power of
exertion depends on her. His moral
strength is ineonceiviably increased by her
sympathy, her counsel, her aid. She can
aid him immensely, by relieving him of
everything which she is capable of taking
upon, herself. His own employments are
usually such as to require his whole time and
his whole mind.
A. good wife •will ,uever suffer her hue-
band's attention to be distracted by de
tails to which her own time and talents are
adequate. If she be prompted by true af
fection and good sense, she will perceive
that when his spirits are borne down and
overwhelmed, she, of all human beings, can
minister to its needs. For the sick soul,
her nursing is quite as sovereign as it is for
corporeal ills. If it be weary, in her assid
uity it finds repose and refreshment. If it
be harrassed and worn to a morbid irritabil
ity, her gentle tones steal over it with a
soothing more potent than the most' exquis
ite music. If every enterprise be dead, her
patience and fortitude have the power to re
kindle them in the heart, and he again goes
forth to renew the encounter with the toils
and troubles of life.—Life illustrated.
Family Music.
Music, like paintings and statuary, refines
and elevates, and sanctifies. Song is the
language of gladness, and it is the utterance
of devotion. But coming lower down, it is
physically beneficial; it rouses the circula
tion, wakes up the bodily energies, and dif
fuses life and animation all, around. Does a
lazy man ever sing ? We never, heard it.
Does a milk-and-water character ever strike
a note ? Never. Songis the outlet of men
tal and physical activity, and increases both
by its exercise. No child has completed a
religious education who has not been taught
to sing the Songs of Zion. No part of our
religious worship•is.sweeter than this. In
David's days, it was apra tice and a study.

Corn Culture.
HiLLlNG.—There is but little doubt that,
if hilling is beneficial; there has often been
in the constructing process ," too.much of a
good thing"--and here,. we are inclined to
think, is to be found one cause of failure.
The peculiar benefits attributed to hilling,
are not derived from the elevation of a
greater, or less quantity of earth around the
stalk, but from the manner in which it is
done, and the loosening the soil receives. If
the soil is cast up at all, it should be in such ,
a way, that &Carding moisture will be ear-
ried to, not from the roots—instead of acting .
as a water-shed, keeping dampness-from the
crop, it should be a basin receiving and
guaranteeing a supply equal to the area it
occupies. ilur Summer rains are generally
short, rapid falling showers, and these cones
destroy, or operate directly antagonistic to,
what the growing crop requires.
One means by which man may aid nature
in perfecting the.growth of any crop, is by
keeping the land free :from weeds, and in
none is the good effect of clean culture more
perceptible than in that which now occupies
our attention. These appropriate to them
selves the nutriment which would otherwise
be taken up and adapted to the wants of the
corn, detracting from its strength, and de
priving it of that which is necessary to its
support. The peculiarities of the present
season have given extensive growth to this
:bane of the soil—farmers have had little op
portunity to g( meet the enemy," and the
fields are almost over-run. These must first
be got out of the way,. and then, though we
have not;an abundant faith in applications
as a general rule, when made as late in the
season.as the present time, still, if the.weeds
have taken the life'from the land, . some
thing may be done to infuse new vigor.
Among the various applications in vogue,
and , that from which the most satisfactory
results seemed to have been attained, is one
composed of 'plaster and ashes. Many
farmers use them separately, and from each
much of good may be realized. An earlier
application would- be more apparent in its
effect, but the season, this year, will afford
opportunity for their profitable use. Plaster
most readily will be assimilated and pre
pared for circulation, and a small quantity—
a handful deposited upon the surface in the
vicinity of the stalk, may be productive of
niach benefit.
The great remedy, however, is in the
,amount of muscle laid out upon the land.
Stir the soil, if you would find the panacea
for the ills produced by late seasons and foul
weeds. This is the genuine mode of treat
ment, and it alone will fully make amends
for the depressing influences of the one or
stay the ravages o the other, Rural

Meteoric Iron.
The London Engineer, in an article on
the recent improvements which have been
made in the manufacture of iron, says that
the truth is now rapidly gaining ground that,
wherever mechanical streangth is desired, an
alloy is preferred to a pure metal. One of
the greatest obstructions to the mechanical
value of iron, is its tendency to crystalize.
Whether the article be a monster gun or a
ship's cable, the result is the same. The
tendency of iron thus to crystalize may,
.un
questionably, be prevented by the admixture
of other metals. In almost every direction,
nature has placed certain metallic masse,s,
to which the name " meteoric iron" has
been given on the supposition that these
masses have fallen from the atmosphere.
The composition of meteoric iron, wherever
found, is chiefly of iron and nickel; the latter
varying from two to ten per cent., with
small, qusantities of cobalt, and, it is said
chromium. Science hasmade artificial me
teoric iron, and> it has been tested. Its
qualities have proved identioal with those
of the native compound. ' In addition, it is
more/ductile, and has more tenacity than
pure iron, and is not so liable to rust or oxi
dize. Possessing such qualities, meteoric
iron is certain to become an important
branch of industry. A mixture of ninety
eight parts of iron and two of nickel, has all
the peculiarities of best meteoric iron. A
few years ago, an ore of sulphuret of nickel,
devoid of arsenic, was found in Inverary, in
Scotland, and by its means, meteoric iron
has beeri'made of the best quality.
Manufacture of Combs
It is said that the greateit comb manu
factory in the world is in Aberdeen, Scot
land. , There are thirty-six furnaces for
preparing horns and tortoise shell for the
combs, and no less than one hundred and
twenty iron screw presses are continually
going in ..stamping them. Steam power is
employed to cut •,the combs- The coarse
combs are stamped or cut out—two being
cut in one piece at a time. The fine dress
ing combs, and all small tooth combs, are
cut by fine circular saws, some so fine as to
cut forty teeth in the space of one inch, and
they revolve five ,thousand times in one
minute. There are some two thousand
varieties of combs made, and, the aggregate
number produced, of all these different
sorts of combs, is about 9,000,000 annually;
a quantity that; if laid together,lengthways,
would '-q004,:,;019,10„.80YRI1 ,hundred „miles.
The annual consumption of ox horns is
about 730,000, and the annual consumption
of hoofs amounts to 4,000,000; the con
sumption of tortoise shell and buffalo horn,
although not so large, is correspondingly
valuable. A hoof undergoes eleven distinct
operations before it becomes a finished comb.
Peculiarity of the Mille Rifle.
The Minie rifle has Four grooves inside,
and the mode of loading it is, first to bite
off the twisted waste paper at the end of
the cartridge, pour in the powder at the
mouth of the barrel, and by a turn of the
thumb and finger, holding the cartridge,
reverse the ball that the conical point may
be upwards. The ramrod is then drawn
and reversed, and the bead being concave,
or cupform, it has a good purchase over the
ball, which is easily rammed borne, and does
not require a second or subsequent 'ram
mings. The piece is then fired with great
ease, and is capable of carrying the ball
twelve hundred yards, and with correct aim
up to nine, hundred yards, the aim for all
distances from three hundred to nine hun
dred yards being taken correctlybya parallel
groove marked with the respective distances
it is wished the ball should be carried when
directed to an object, a slide in the groove
being raised or lowered to take the sight.

Innocent Display of Royalty.
A Brussels paper gives the following: At
the visit of the Emperor, the Empress, and
the Grand Duke Constantine to Villeneuve
l'Etang, the amusements were various.
First, there were promenades on land and
water, a Military concert, and the perform
ance of the learned dogs and monkeys from,
the Cirque Napoleon. After this, their
Majesties and their guests, laying aside
etiquette, began playing like children on a
holiday.. A steep mound was taken posses
sion of by the ladies, and they undertook to
defend it as a fortress, against the gentle
men, the Empress acting as eommander-in-
Chief of the fair warriors. The gentlemen,
on their side, in order to make the conflict
somewhat equal, made their attack in hop
ping on one -leg! The defence was very
determined, and in the course of it the
strategical disposition and bnivery of the
Countess Prezdzeweka, a charming Pole,
who acted as aid-de-camp to the Empress,
were greatly admired. The Grand Duke
Constantine attacked the enemy boldly in
front, but was repulsed; he repeated his
attempt with impetuosity, but still without
success. The Emperor manoeuvred skillfully
and actually succeeded in penetrating into
the very midst of the enemy, but unfortu
nately he was then, made prisoner. At last
the mimic contest terminated, all parties
being wearied as much by laughter as by
their exploits. Foot races followed, and
then came a game at-prison bars. In the
course:of this last named game the Empress
was taken prisoner, and all the Russians of
her camp were, with one exception, success
fully captured and shared her captivity.
The . exception was. Prince Oukhtnmski, and
he, after a while, succeeded in delivering
her majesty. Gratitude, it must be stated,
increased his energy, he having previously
been taken prisoner, and the Empress having
rescued him from bondage. This charming
fete was marked throughout with the great
est gaiety and cordiality. The Grand Duke
Constantine appeared delighted with its
verve and laisser aller, which were so peon
liarly French.
Be Gentlemen at. Rome
There are few families, we imagine, any
where, in which love is not abused as fur
nishing the licence for impoliteness. A
husband, father, or brother, will speak
harsh words to those he loves best, and
`those who love him best, simply because the
security of love and family pride keeps him
from getting his head broken. It is a shame
that a man will speak more impolitely, at
•times, to his wife or sister, than he would to
any other female, except a low and vicious
one. It is thus that the honest' affections of
a man's nature prove to be' a weaker protec
tion to a woman in the family circle than the
restraints of society, and that a woman
usually is indebted for the kindest polite
ness of life to those not belonging. to her
own household. Things ought not so to be.
The man who, because, it will not be re
sented, inflicts his spleen and bad temper
upon those of his hearth-stone, is a small
coward, and a very mean man. Kind words
are circulating mediums between true gen
tlemen and ladies at home, and no polish
exhibited in society can atone, for the harsh
language and disrespectful treatment too
often indulged in between those bound toge
ther by God's own- ties of blood, and the
still more sacred bonds of conjugal love.--

How to Put Down Stock Gambling.
The British Parliament, in a recent act,
has provided that the loss of more than £5O
in one day by eming, or than £2OO in the
year preceding insolvency, shall bar a bank
rupt's title to obtain his certificate. The
offence brings the culprit within the scope
of penal clauses, and is punished at the dis
cretion of the Commissioner, in the same
manner as the perpetration of fraud, reck
less trading, or, any other mercantile misde
meanor.
Mr. Holroyd, one of the commissioners of
bankmptcy, has extended the rule to time
bargains in stock.
Famine in China.
The Friend of China, of May 9th re
ceived by the last Overland Mail, says that
the famine prevailing in that country ex
ceeds all that the oldest living man has ever
witnessed. The rebels are making progress,
the capital of the province os Kwang St.
Kwei•Lung, having fallen into their hands.
In the, province of Kwangtung, the famine
is so severe that even the women are form
ing themselves into bands of robbers, have
seized the sword and gone forth plundering
in order to obtain sustenance.
TRIALS.-It is not in the light and sun
ny places of the wilderness that the travel
er most sweetly reposes. It is under the
shadow of a. great rock, or in the depth of a
sequestered valley; and so it is with a
Christian. The sun of prosperity withers
our joy, and changes the green leaves into
the sickly colors of Autumn. Adversity is
like the Winter, which prepares the ground
for the reception of the seed, and for the
rich and glowing luxuriance of Spring time.
