Rest in Heaven.
Tell me ye 'winged winds,
That round my pathway roar,
Do you not know some spot
Where morals weep no more ?
Some lone and pleasant dell,
Some valley in the West,
Where, free from toil and pain,
The weary soul may rest!
The loud wind softened to a whisper low,
And sighed for pity as it answered—" No !"
Tell me thou mighty deep,
Where billows round me play,
Know'st thou some favored spot,
Some Island far away,
Where weary man may find
The bliss for which he sighs,
Where sorrow never lives,
And friendship 'never dies ?
The loud waves, rolling in perpetual flow,
Stopped for awhile, and answered—''No I"
And thou.serenest moon,
That with such holy face
Bost look upon the earth,
Asleep in night's embrace,
Tell me, in all tby round,
Bast thou not seen mine spot,
Whore 'miserable man
'Might find a happier lot?
Behind a cloud the moon withdrew in woe,
And a - voice sweet, but sad, responded—" No 1"
Tell me, my secret 801 d,
Oh I tell me Hope and Faith,
Is there no resting place
From sorrow, sin, and death ?
Is there no happy spot
Where mortals may be blessed,
Where grief may find , a balm,
And weariness a rest ?
Faith, Hope, and Love, best boons to mortals
given,
Waved their bright wings, and whispered—" Yes !
in Heaven!"

A HISTORY OF Roux, from the earliest times to

wood cuts; 12m0., pp. 768. New York : Ear-
per .3 , Brothers. 1867.
Our readers may remember that in our notice
of. Dr. Smith's condensation of Gibbon, we inti
mated our great satisfaction in knowing that the
Messrs. Harper had this important history in the
press. When we reviewed Dr. Smith's History of
Greece, we spoke of it in as favorable terms as
we could, without appearing to be unduly lauda
tory. We expressed a similar judgment relative
to the condensation of Gibbon ; and now in the
work before us we have a series completed, which,
as valuable Text-books, have no equals in the
English language. We know that this notice will
be read by many who are at the head of Classi
cal Academies, and, who are engaged as Tutors
and Professors in the Classical departments of
Colleges., We believe that we are displaying a
kindness to all such brethren, by directing their
attention to this series, and by requesting them
to order a copy for their own examination. If
this be done, we have no fears but that they will
be adopted as Text-books. If teachers were to
consider that Smith's Greece contains a conden
sation of the history, literature, social condition,
philosophy, and antiquities of the Greeks, as por
trayed in Grote's twelve elaborate volumes, with
much valuable matter added ; that all Gibbon's
facts are incorporated in the abridgment, and
that .110 W in this,work of Dr. Liddell, the talent
and research of one of the most, profound and
critical of Oxford's scalars has been devoted to
the volume on _Rome; they would perceive that
these works must possess no ordinary merit. In
fact they carry the student down from the myth
ical period of Grecian literature, through all the
romantic and stirring scenes of the East, until
the sceptre passed into the hands of Rome. The
thread of history is then followed to the rise of
the Empire, and finally in the story of Gibbon,
the reader is conducted to the time when he sees
that power falling asunder, and the rise of the
modern nations appearing out of its ruins. We
commend these volumes very heartily to the pub
lic. ----

reply.

as though I were going to die, and that is a
matter I have no. wish to think of. It is a
gloomy subject, and I intend to keep it out
of my mind. Don't ask him in, Mary."

a few days he did see him ; but Oh, how
changed from the James he was wont to
greet. Wasted by an acute disease, that
had rapidly and fearfully done its work,
he was dying, and he was wild with. de
lirium.
The skill of the physician could not save
him; the tears of friends, even of that lov

it was too late. With mind all darkened,
he went from time into eternity.
And where did he go ? Alas, theTe is no

Things Seen in a Recent Ramble.
[CONCLUDED.]
I saw enough in my rambles in Pitts
burgh, to favorably impress me, not only
with the general intelligence and enterprise
of its citizens, but of the great physical and
acquired advantages of the place itself,
touching commerce and manufactures. Let
lazy idlers say what they will about the love
liness of city lawns and forest trees; of sing
ing birds and air-cooling jets-d' eau; of Chest
nut Street elegance; of Broadway magnifi
cence, or of the royal grandeur of suburban
residences; but still, the real beauty of a
city is in its enterprise, industry, and mor
ality.
To my eye, there is a kind of beauty in
the dense clouds of smoke that rise to
heaven from the numerous furnaces of this ,
city, and a kind of music is heard by my
ear in the ring of the thousands of hammers
that pound away from morning till night in •
the many workshops here, so -pleasing that
I do not regret that -I lack the sense to dis
cover attractions in the, tinsel glitter and
mock comforts - of retired fortune, Which one
of note has so fitly deseribed,• as soon be
coming,
So sweetly mawkish, and so smoothly dull,"
to the, mind and eye of the possessor, as to
lose every element of interest and beauty to
him.
Pittsburgh is certainly, if not the Man
chester, at least the Newcastle and Sheffield
of America. And lam bold to say, that
this city of Vulcan, so . much ~despised by
some, is doing more this day to increase the
power and advance the real interest of our
nation, than scores of such cities as boast of
their forests of elm trees—their palmetto
groves, closely-shaven parks, or granite-paved
streets.
Churches are here greatin number, and
some of them unsurpassed in beauty and
magnificence, by those of any other city in
our land. School buildings, Academies, Col
leges, (commercial and literary,) Seminaries,
Universities, and various Institutions of a
humane, scientific and moral character,
meet the eye of the observer in all parts of
the city; showing, 'that if the citizens of
this place do live in a cloud of smoke, they
see enough to do. their duty to ignorant,
fallen, and suffering humanity.
With such reflections. I left, taking the
morning train. for Bellair, just as it com
menced moving out of the depot in Alle
gheny. We had. 'a long train and a great
crowd. The day was fine, and all seemed
happy. The river was flushed with a recent
rain, and the land along its borders' gave I
evident, signs of a hundred-fold increase in
the coming harvest. The mountains and
little, hills seemed to praise the Lord for
having crowned and clothed ' them with
wreaths of the sweetest flowers, and robes
of nature's richest green. The early sun
poured upon the whole scene a- flood of
heavenly glory; and for once, dear reader,
I confess to a transient emotion arising from
the inspiration of such occasions ; and had
it not been for one thing, there is no know
ing what Parnassean heights, and Elysian
'fields I might have visited. be that as it
may, my muse took wings and fled away, as
a brawny rustic, a few seats before me,
pointing with , his finger through the win
dow across .the river exclaimed at the top
of his' voice, " Yondah, gentlemen, is old
Vaginah I" A good:looking, well-dressed
gentleman, who occupied a seat near me,
looking out• as he heard' this, replied, with a
peculiar Yankee twang, "Yes, old Virginia,
the Land of Bondage."
We saw at once, by his looks, that he was
an "agitator," and we determined, for our
own amusement, to stir him up a little. So
we made free to ask him this question:
" When the fanatical abolitionists dissolve
this Union, what disposition do you sup
pose, stranger, they will make
,of the Pan
Handle ?" At this he took fire immedi
ately, and went off, in a most terribly excited
way, about Slavery, Kansas, and the - Con
stitution—said he would tear the latter in
pieces with his own fingers, if that act would
abolish. Slavery I That if he only had the
power, he would sunder this Union, with his
own hands, into two parts, then dash the
Southern section down from his hand in dis
gust, and "finder into atoms." Of course,
reader, this made us all laugh; and after he
had gone on in this style for some time,
abusing what he was pleased to call pro
alaverl churches and our pro-slavery Govern
ment, saying he had been to Washington
City, and had done all in his power to pre
vent Congress from making any further ap
propriations for finishing the Capitol, or
repairing or extending any other of our
governmental buildings there, as the Union
be dissolved, and in- that case the
South would get all. He paused for a mo
ment, apparently to see what effect his elo
quence- was having on his astonished audi
ence: 'At this juncture, one of us said:
" Stranger, how is your mother ?" " Hew

is my mother I What business have you to
ask such a question ?" " Why, I was read
ing about her the other day, and I have felt
some interest in the old lady's welfare, ever
since." " Reading about my mother! Vhen?
Where?" "In 1. Kings iii: 16-28, sir;
two women there claim to be the mother of
one child. They agree to adjudicate the
case before King Solomon. The King com
mands that a sword be brought, and the
child to be cut in . two, antra part given to
each. She who was the •i•al mother of the
child said, no. But the false claimant,
(and as I think, your mother,) was as anx
ious for sunderment then as her fanatical son
is now. The application is easy:—please
make it yourself, sir; and after this be
ashamed to harbor, much less to utter, such
unpatriotic sentiments as have just now
escaped your lips. We all admit that the
system of Slavery is wrong, but certainly it
is neither the dictates of patriotism nor of
prudence, to advocate so great an evil as the
dissolution of this Union to abolish either
the relation or the system of Slavery. We
We are forbidden to, do evil, that good
may come."
To, this he was about to reply, when the
conductor appearing, called out, "change
cars here, gentlemen, for. Cleveland"—so,
away went our friend Northward, and we
Southward de facto.
I will not weary the reader's patience in
relating a debate that now sprung up among
us on the merits of Calvinism, that was
raised, in some way, in the course of our
conversation. Suffice it to say, that after
the opposition had freely admitted the
omniscience of God as entire and absolute,
be was silenced in the following way:
Ca/vinist.--"Suppose Gabriel had existed
long prior to the creation. of the world, and
had got intimation that God would at some
time bring a world like ours into being,
could God have told him the exact number
of individuals that would be on the earth
from Adam down to the last man that will
be born?"
Arminian.—"Yes, I beliwie be could."
oa/vinist•—"lf Gabriel then had taken
a large slate and set this number down in
figures across the top of it; and then drawn
a perpendicular line down through the slate,
could God have so divided this upper num
ber in his own mind, as to have told Gabriel
how many to set down on the right hand of
the line, and how many on the left?"
Arminian.—" Yes, since God knows all
things he certainly could,"
Calvinist.--" Now since both these TEUM
hers were actually in the Divine mind when
the covenant of Redemption was made, how
can we consistently believe that . Christ
designed by his death to save both numbers
alike, when he, by his omniscience, foresaw
that those on the left would , not be saved;
unless we can believe that God designs to do
what he knows will never be done, or pur
poses to do a thing and then fail in its fulfill
ment?"
Arminiau.—"lt seems fair; but still I
can't believe it."
Calvinist.—"Then , l hope you will here
after be more careful as to, what you say
against Calvinism, until you are more able
to disprove it?"
But here we came to the end of our
railroad journey, as well as that of our
theological discussion; bidding many of our
fellow-passengers good bye, we left the, cars,
mounted a home, and off we scampered.to
the residence of a friend .that lives among
these semi•mountains of Belmont.
We rested here for many days, with great
satisfaction. Our health improved rapidly,
and our occular affliction gradually receded,
and we will not soon forget the rich amuse
ment we had . here in fishing for bass in the
streams that run zig-zag among these hills,
and in watching the fish-nets and fish-traps
emptied of their finney contents, at our feet,
upon the sand. /
So it came to pass after a time, ~7e met a
kind, clerical brother, riding iu a fine Iniggy,
behind two spirited blacks, on his way to
the meeting of d his Presbytery at M
Like Philip, we joined ourself to this chariot,
and our brother took us up by his side, and
on we, rode together, until we, came to the
above-named place.
Here quite a number of ministers and
elders soon convened. The bell rings and
all, (with a considerable concourse of peo
ple,) repair to the Presbyterian ,church, a
building of no mean dimensions or finish,
and most favorably situated for access, pros
pect and ventilation. An excellent choir
chants oue of the sacred songs of David, a
sermon is preached, the Presbytery organizes
and proceeds to business. The immediate
purpose for which the Presbytery met, was,
the installation of. Rev. Mr: Graham over
this church as 'pastor, for half his time.
The exercises were brif, pointed and to the
purpose. Mr. G. enters this pastorate with
more than ordinary encouragement.
- Qne particular feature in the exercises of
this Presbytery, seemed to us 'unique, and
pleasedius much. It is , that of calling upon
their Commissioners to the .Assembly for a
carefully prepared and minute description of
their journey to and from the place where
that body meets, as well as a resume of all
that is done during its various sittings.
This was done in a most masterly and highly
instructive manner, at this meeting, by Rev.
Mr. Boyd, of Bridgeport, and a remarkably
sensible but eccentric Elder, whose name I
have somehow forgotten.
The most intense interest was manifested
by the whole congregation in these Reports;
and although they must have occupied near
ly two hours in their delivery, yet all seemed
sorry when they ended. The opening ser
mon of the Assembly, by Dr. Hoge, was
noticed, and a profile : given of its , venerable
author. The same was done of the sermons
of Drs. Plumer, Thornweli, and Howard.
Aud the contrast drawn between the first
two, was as eloquent as it was just, and deft
us all unable which to love and admire
most, but ready to pray that both may long
be spared to shine as lights in the world;and
stand as towers of strength in the Zion of
God. But, when the peculiar manner, and
giant mind of Dr. Breekinridge came in for
a notice, then the whole graphic powers of
Mr. Boyd were brought to, bear, and so
interested were the people in hearing accu
rate descriptions of these men, of whom
they had read so much, that many of them
actually leaned forward to catch every word
as it fell from the speaker's mouth. The
debate on the recent doings, of the American
Bible Society was analized, and the animus
of the Assembly given. Mr. Boyd had
mingled much among, the blacks, and al
though he by no means approved of slavery,
yet, he candidly believed that many of the
reports we had of the wretched condition of
the slaves, in . Kentucky, were gross exag
gerations.
In conclusion, Mr. Boyd, said he was
thankful to God that he had membership in
so noble,
wise, conservative and Christian a
Body as the Old School Presbyterian church.
His remarks left a most salutary, impression
on all present, and made us all more and
more resolve to labor to enlarge the borders,
and seek the welfare of the much-persecut
ed, but still as much-loved Church of our
fathers. May the ark, of the covenant,
with the presence of Jehovah, ever be with
us.
From this place I returned home; and am
this day well and happy, and thankful for
the tender mercies of my God toward me.
Should'my life be spared, I hope to take a
ramble to New Orleans, and return home via
Cuba, and the Atlantic cities, next Summer,
and if the reader wishes he may go with
me. Till then, sc7ed bye. ZEn.

From the American Messenger
"Her Hand Held the Cup to My Lips."
"My first glass," said Mr. B—, " was
presented by the hand of a Christian lady,
whose piety none could doubt, and whose
womanly excellences won the regard of all
who knew her. It was her hand that held
the cup of poison to my lips—her sweet,
gentle voice that in blandest tones urged its
acceptance."
The father of Mr. B— was a man of
piety, and intelligence, who trained his
children to, the abhorrence of vice in every
form, intemperance perhaps more than any
other. When this son left home for college,
among the letters of introduction furnished
him by his friends, was one to a lady residing
in the vicinity of his college' home. This
lady was an, early friend of his mother's,
and as such he was prepared to meet her
with sentiments of cordial friendship, which
at each successive, interview, her real piety,
amiability, and intelligence, tended largely
to increase. She was just the person, above
all others to exert an influence over his
mind and heart.
He walked from'college one warm after
noon to call on her, found her even more
than usually cordial and agreeable, and was
greatly enjoying a pleasant, social, interview,
when a servant entered with a pitcher of
remarkably fine cider, temptingly iced. The
coolisparkling beverage was handed round
in over-flowing goblets, but the young man,
trained as he had been, declined tasting the
tempting cup. The lady seemed surprised,
and urged his compliance, telling him she
had ordered it expressly for him; that it
would be so refreshing after his walk, and
that it was,decidedly the finest that he hid
ever tasted. Again he had the courage to
decline, and this time urged his temperance
principles in excuse. For these she warmly
commended him, but added, " ader can
not possibly hurt you ; no one was ever the
less temperate for drinking cider." Then
pouring out a fresh goblet, she held it to
ward him with her own- hand, and pressed
him to drink.
Was it strange that he yielded; that
what was so sweetly offered by one he so
much esteemed, should have been unguard
edly accepted ? Would one young man in
a thousand have acted otherwise ? He took
the fatal cup, and drained it of its poisonous
contents. A few minutes served alike to
convince him of his error, and to set his
very brain on fire with the unusual stimulus.
He shortened his visit, and hurriedly with
drew. But it was too late; the poison had
been quaffed, the, fatal appetite engendered,
the barrier broken down, his self-respect
gone. Almost maddened by the remem
brance of what be had already done, yet
thirsting for more, he entered a tavern,
tailed for wine, and drank freely. Con
science still more loudly reproached, but his
perceptions being blunted now, he argued,
"Wipe is no_worse than cider; and did not
a Chriatian lady, my mother's friend, urge
that? It cannot be wrong, or she surely
would not have advised it to one whom she ,
regards as a brother or a son ?" The faith
ful monitor was 'silenced, and glass after
glass of the fearful poison swallowed, till at
length, memory,. remorse, and burning
desire were all quenched in the drunkard's
sottish sleep.
The tidings quickly reached the college,
and were followed by suspension. This
was sorely mortifying ; and driven, almost
to frenzy, he turned again to what he had
so recently learned to regard as .a solace
from the stings of conscience. The sequel
is quickly told. One step followed another,
till .he was expelled from college for ":con
firmed intemperance;" and then unwilling
to meet the beloved parents he had so dis
graced, he wandered off to a Southern city,
where he spent several years in dissipation
and folly. ,
Here female influence, which had so
nearly proved his ruin, was put forth just in
time to save him from the yawning gulf.
He was persuaded, by the pious lady with
whem he boarded, to accompany her to a
temperance meeting. Still sufficiently
mindful of external proprieties to be un
willing to be the escort of a lady while in a
condition to, cause., her to, be ashamed of
him, he carefully refrained from drink, all
day, and was consequently in "a condition to
listen to the lecture and profit by what he
heard. 'That night he signed the pledge;
and though , now near fifty years of age, he
has never since tasted of anything that can
intoxicate:
Christian feniale, beware how you hold
out temptation to the young. That which
you may do with impunity, to, then may be
ruin; and the more highly you are esteem
ed, the greater is your influence, and conse
quently the greater the importance of wield
ing that influence aright.

A Curate's Crowns.
The well-known French missionary, Fa
ther Bridaine, was always poor, for the sim
ple teason that he, gave away everything he
had. One evening he asked for a night's
lodging of the curate of a village through
which, he passed, and the worthy man
having only one bed, shared it with him.
At day-break Father Bridaine rose, accord
ing to custom, and went to say his prayers
at a neighboring church. Returning:from
this sacred duty he met a beggar, who asked
alms. "Alas !my friend, I have nething,"
said the good priest, mechanically putting
his hand into his breeches pocket, where, to
his astonishment, he found something hard,
wrapped up in paper, which.. he knew he
had not left there. He hastily opened the
paper, and seeing four crowns in it, cried
out that it was a miracle. He gave the
money to the beggar and hastened to the
church to return thanks to God. The
curate turned pale, put his hand in his
pocket, and in an instant perceived that
Father Bridaine, in getting up in the dark,
had taken the wrong pair of breeches--he
had performed a miracle with the curate's
crowns.
Swift and the Tailors.
It is stated of Dean Swift that he preached
before the merchant tailors' company at
three several anniversaries. The first time
he took for his text, "Steal no more." The
members of the company took umbrage at
this text; on the following anniversary he
chose the words, "A remnant shall be
saved!' His audience were more irritated
than before; nevertheless, he commenced
hip third sermon as follows: "There were
lie - 4 in all their-binder:a."
A Bowl of Bread and Milk.
Well, what more of a bowl of bread and
milk, than to crumb as much of the former
as will suffice, and set it afloat with as much
of the latter as may be desired for the meal?
Can any thing more be done? Can a bowl
of bread and milk be improved in preparing?
I think it can; and will give my process.
Instead of crumbing your bread, take that
two or three days old, somewhat dry or
"stale," and with a sharp knife cut it in
thin slices, as you would dried beef for the
tea-table. The unbroken pores of the
bread thus prepared, will readily absorb the
milk, though dry and hard, and you may at
once commence the operation of spooning
from a dish fit to feed to infant.
Akin to this, is the preparation of a bowl
of bread and milk with "condiments." As
the season of small fruits is passing, a good
substitute, and but little inferior to "Straw
berries and Cream," (especially if your
strawberries are not prime,) is, to cut your
bread as above, then take a soft Sweet
Bough, or other good sweet apple, (or, those
who prefer, a mild sub•acid,) pare and cut
in thin slices in the manner our mothers
prepare for apple pies, and. to this compound
add your milk; and ,if you do not have a
palatable dish your taste differs from ours.
A good, ripe, sweet apple, raw, will give to
'the milk almost the richness of new cream.
Try it and see.
Success in Life.
You should bear constantly in mind, that
nine-tenths of us are, from the very nature
and necessities of the world, born to gain
our own livelihood by the sweat of the brow.
Whafteasons have we then to presume that
our children ire not to do the same? The
path upwards is steep and long. Industry,
care, skill, excellence, in the present parent,
lay the foundation of a rise, under more fa
vorable circumstances, for tile children.
The children of these take another rise, and
by and bye the , descendants of the present
laborer become gentlemen. This is the
natural progress. It is by attempting to
reach the top at a single leap, that so much
misery is produced in the world. The edu
cation which I recommend, consists in bring
ing children up to labor with steadiness,
with care, and with skill—to show them
how to do as many useful things as possible
—to teach them to do them all in the best
manner—to set them an example of indus
try, sobriety, cleanliness and 'neatness—to
make all these habitual to them, so' that
they never shall be liable to fall into the
contrary—to let them always see a good liv
ing proceeding from labor, and thus to re
move from them the temptations to get at
the goods of others by violent•or fraudulent
means.— Wm. Cobbett.
Fresh Corn the Year Round.
Mr. Daniel Rowe, of Lancaster, Pa., has
invented and patented a plan for providing
green corn for the table the year round.
He plucks green corn, and without depriv
ing it of its milky juice 'or taste, keeps it in
a state of freshness and preservation, ready
for boiling at any season. His process is
described in his claim:—" What I claim as
my discovery and invention is the new art
and process of preserving green corn in'
the ear, by extracting the pith or heart of
the cob and seasoning and drying the inside
of the cob as rapidly as the outside, for
preserving the virtues and juice of the
grain and preventing • the collection of
mould or corruption, as herein described,
and for the purposes set forth." A Lan
caster paper says Mr. Rowe is preparing
convenient machines, not larger than those
used for paring apples, by which every
housekeeper can, in one evening, prepare
ten or fifteen bushels of corn for his own
use.—Rural New Yorker.
How to Nake Tea Properly.
The proper way to, make ~a cup .of good
tea is a matter of some importance. The
plan which I have practised for these twelve
months is this :—The tea-pot is at once filled
up, with boiling water; then the tea is put
into the pot, and is allowed to stand for five
minutes before it is used; the leaves gradu
ally absorb the water, and as 'gradually sink
to the bottom; the result is that the tea
leaves are not scalded, as they are -when
boiling water is. poured over them, and, you
get all the true flavor of the tea. In truth,
much less tea is required in this way than
under the old and common practice.—James
Cuthill. [The ladies can easily try it.—En.
Improved Dlode of. Cooking Salt Pork.
For the benefit of those who, like our
selves, are obliged to use considerable salt
pork, the following method is recommended,
by which it is very much improved, especi
ally for frying. Cut as many•slices as may
be needed, if for breakfast the night previ
ous, and soak till morning in a quart or two
of milk and water, one-third milk—skimmed
milk, if not too near souring, is best; rinse
till the water is clear, and then' fry. It is
nearly or quite as nice as fresh pork—both
the fat and the lean parts.—Cor. Ohio Far
mer.
Eggs for Burns.
The white of an egg has proved of late
the most efficacious remedy for .burns
Seven or eight successive applications of
this substance soothe the pain and exclude
the burned parts from the air. This simple
remedy seems to us far preferable to collo
dion, or even cotton.- Scientific American.

accustomed to tell those consulting him what be considers
