In , - day took its Westward course. Men of
co auncie;al men, and statesmen,
have watched the itieepl ion and progress of
this euterprie with great interest, because
of the ebvious advantages of success, to in.
teliiocuce, business, and politics. But it is
:1 1 , 0 viewed with an earnest and religious
by r,orre of the best men in England.
. „talc was fil honor of the enterprise,
Eardley, well known for his
hi t position, and elevated Christian charac•
cd
ter .Arnong the guests were distinguished
tio ientitie gentlemen, officers of the British
American Navies, and the artizans who
had been engaged on the great work, with
their wives and children. The whole enter
tainment was conducted with a spirit of fra
ternal patriotism and piety. Before the
sailing of the expedition, a banquet was
given in honor of the Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland, at which there were appropriate
speeches And religious services. A form of
prayer was prepared, to be daily offered up
on board the fleet. That this great enter
prise should be preceded by devout prayer
and worship, was eminently proper. It has
been so in other days. Prayers were offered
in the Cathedrals of Spain when Columbus
,ailed on his voyage of discovery. And
hen the pilgrims embarked from Holland,
, hey knelt on the deck of their little vessel,
and commended themselves to the care and
guidance of their Father in heaven. In
the event of success, the first message to be
sent is, "Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward men."
Messrs. A. T. Stewart & Co., are making
an addition to their white marble store,
which will cost, with the ground, $500,000.
The whole structure will then be 176 feet
by 151, excelling any building for similar
purposes in the country.
The moral condition of the Emigrant
Ships, is beginning to awaken some atten
tion, and none too soon; for it is to be
feared that they have been made means of
prostitution to a fearful extent.
Much has been said in praise - of the Pub
lic Schools of New York. But according
to the Christian Intelligencer, there is still
great need of improvement. Some of the
members of the Board of Education are
charged with drunkenness. The Principal
of the Normal School, in writing an ordinary
note to an editor, made several grammatical
blunders. When the teachers met to pre
pare a complimentary address to Mons. Thal
berg and Madame D'Angri, a member of the
Board of Education, in a drunken state,
thrust himself forward, and was rude and
vulgar in a high degree. And the address
itself was badly written, "containing the
most ridiculous bombast the present age has
seen." This is certainly a very humiliating
report of a state of things, where eleven
hundred thousand dollars are expended
every year.
The Independent denies the charges made
by the Puritan Recorder, which we pub
lished last week, and says the whole state
ment is an entire perversion of a conversa
tion strictly private. To this the Puritan
Recorder promises a reply.
The Independent, in answering the Evan
gelise, concerning the progress of Congrega
tionalism in New York, says that in 1849,
the New• School Presbyterians had, in New
York City, 20 churches and 7,430 members;
and that in 1857, they have only 18 churches
and 6,528 members.
Gerritt Smith does not seem to have suc
ceeded according to his expectations, in pro
viding homes for colored people. He has
written a letter to the New York Tribune,
in which he says: "Of the three thousand col
ored men to whom I gave land, probably less
than fifty have taken and continue
to hold possession of their grants. What is
worse, half of the three thousand, as I judge,
have either sold their land, or have been so
careless as to allow it to be sold for taxes."
PHILADELPHIA
Extensive preparations are being made for
the approaching State Fair, to be held on
the 29th inst. It is intended to surpass any
exhibition the State Society has yet had.
Agriculture and kindred pursuits are held
in much higher estimation than ever before.
And their annual exhibitions have been of
great benefit; but we hope that the habit
that has grown up of perverting them into
occasions for horse racing and performances,
will be speedily abandoned.
The corner stone of the Olivet Baptist
Church ) at the South• East corner of Sixth
and Federal Streets, was laid last week, with
appropriate ceremonies.
The Rev. Thomas J. Quigley, of St. Mi
chaels, Md., has given notice that he will
arraign the Rev. John Dixon Long, author
of " Pictures of Slavery," before the ap
proaching Annual Philadelphia Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, on the
following specifications :
X. Misrepresenting the Philadelphia Con
ference and the Border difficulties.
2. Misrepresenting the people of Mary
land and Delaware.
3. Misrepresenting the ministers who have
labored in Maryland and Delaware.
4. Misrepresenting the members of the
M. E. Church.
5. Misrepresenting the colored people
The American Presbyterian reprehends,
s3verely, the employment of Masonic cere
monies in laying the corner-stones of colle
ges and churches, thus allowing this Order
or Institution to usurp the place that prop
erly belongs to the Church. The Corner-
Stones of the new University at Chicago
under the ()are of the Baptists and
of the Wabash Avenue Methodist Epis
copal church, were to be laid, with Masonic
ceremonies.
We learn that the First Presbyterian
Ohara , of Kensington, are about to build a
new place off• Worship in Franklin Avenue,
between Hanover and Palmer Streets, upon
a lot 85 by 100 feet. The plans are for an
edifice 65 feet•front by 100 feet deep, includ
ing an octagonal projection,' intended ae a
basis for a conspicuous and lofty spire. The
front is to be an imitation of brown stone ;
the rest of the structure will be,plain brick.
Western Correspondence.
DR. McKENNEY:—I presented in my
last some statistics, exhibiting the increase
of contributions to the Boards of our Church,
in the last three years, in the Synods of
Illinois, Chicago, lowa and Wisconsin; and
promised some additional figures in this. In
redeeming this pledge, I present au exhibit
of contributions in the same field, for Pres
byterial, Congregational and Miscellaneous
purposes, throwing the Synods of Illinois
and Chicago together, as they were one
during a portion of the time contemplated.

Thus your readers will see that, in the
State of Illinois, Old School Presbyterians
paid for the above purposes, in 1857,
$105,474 vice $27,345 three years ago; in
Wisconsin $29,932 vice $5,878; and in lowa
$85,753 vice $10,902. If our contributions
to the Boards of our Church have been
small, let us, in the above tables, see in part
at least, the reason. The churches here
have evidently been struggling to help
themselves. This, the largely increased
contributions, for congregational purposes
during the past three years, abundantly
shows. As their ability to help themselves
increases, we hope they will not fail to cast
liberally into the treasury of the Church, to
aid others.
The church and congregation at Sterling,
Illinois, for so many years under the care of
Rev. George Stebbins, one of the pioneers
of the West, has been without a settled
pastor since Bro. Stebbins resigned the
charge, some two years ago. They have,
however, at present, we understand, the
prospect of security , the pastoral services of
Rev. Ebenezer Erskine,
of Columbia, Pa.
If Bro. Erskine should conclude to make
this the field of his future labors, we have
no doubt, from all we can learn, of his
usefulness in it. It is an important, growing,
field, and much needs a laborer with dili
gence, zeal and piety; and we rejoice that
one who bears a name, so dear to all who
love true Presbyterianism, thinks of enter
inc, upon the work. May the mantle of his
distinguished ancestor be found to have
descended, in all its amplitude, upon him.
The friends of our Church have long felt
the importance of building up .our cause in
Chicago, the ,great commercial emporium of
the West. Our churches there have always
been very weak, notwithstanding the sacri
fices and struggles of our self-denying and
noble brethren. This has been mainly
owing, as I have previously shown, to the
great difficulty of rearing churches beneath
the shadow of others nearly identical with
them, in the estimation of those who care
not for doctrinal differences.
The North church, for some time under
the pastoral care of Rev. R. H. Richardson,
has lately become vacant, by the resignation
of his successor, Rev. R A. Brown; and the
brethren have solicited Rev. N. L. Rice, D.
D., of Saint Louis, to take charge of them.
We understand that he has signified his
willingness to do so, and it is expected that
he will enter upon his duties with them on
the Ist of October. This will be an event,
of much importance to our brethren of
Chicago. Dr. Rice will bring with him
the ripe experience of many years' active
labor, in various dipartments of the
Master's service, and will greatly contribute,
if his life and health are spared, to the
success of all our Church enterprises, in and
near the city. We feel especially gratified
at the prospect of his settlement there,
when we consider the material service he
may render to our infant Theological Insti
tution. We trust nothing will interfere to
prevent his settlement in the North church.
I mentioned, in my last, that the Metho.
dist brethren were likely to have some
trouble, if reports were true, in securing
Mrs. Garrett's donation to their institution
of learning, located near Chicago. It
appears now, that our Baptist brethren have
trouble also, growing out of a gift, which
may possibly seriously prejudice the inter-,
eats of a University, which they are attempt
ing to establish at the same place. Hon.
Stephen A. Douglass made to this denomi
nation, which was accepted, a present of
ten acres of land, upon which to locate
their University. Many persons, both in
the denomination and out of it, have felt
called upon to condemn the Trustees for
accepting this grant, because of Mr. Doug
lass' unpopularity as a politician. It seems
to be the impression that this gentleman has
sinned so egregiously, that he is now and
henceforth, incapable of doing a praiseworthy
action; and that those, who in any way coun
tenance him in the attempt, are partakers of
his sin. Strange, that good men should be
come so blinded, by their political prejudices.
A person was excluded from a Congregational
Church, recently, in Michigan, because he
had voted for Mr. Buchanan, and advocated
the Democratic cause; and now the interests
of an institution of learning are to- sutler,
because a man, politically unpopular, has
made it the gift of a site.
The war at Galesburg continues. A New
School brother, who spent a recent Sabbath
there, informed me that he did not hear a
sermon or a prayer in which the college
troubles were not mentioned. Dr. E. Beech
er is preaching upon the matter, and the
secular and religious press fairly hisses with
the heat of the contest. The question at
present is, which of the two contending
parties has the best right to the institution.
It, will result probably in litigation in civil
courts. •
Explorations of the earth's depths in prai
rie land, are likely to result in discoveries
important to science. Some men, in open
ing up a coal mine at Buffalo Rock, near
Ottawa, in Illinois, recently exposed a cop
per kettle firmly embedded in the coal, the
whole being seventeen feet beneath the sur
face. There were several feet of solid coal
above the kettle, which was also filled with
it. The iron of the rim and bail crumbled
when brought into contact with the air.
Here is a nut for the geologists. How came
the kettle there if our coal measures have
really the antiquity ascribed to them ?
Chicago still grows, - despite all predic
tions to the contrary. There are at this
time, in process of erection, some three
thousand buildings, many of them of the
most magnificent character. I am informed
that this is mostly the work of heavy capi.

DAVID S. McKim, convicted of, the murder of
S. T. Norcross, near Altoona, Pa., last Winter,
was executed on last Friday, at Hollidaysburg,
Pa. He protested his innocence until the last,
but nothing that he said seems to have awakened
a doubt, as to his guilt, in a single mind. The
morning before his execution, he attempted to
take his own life, by means of a piece of glass
which he had in some way obtained. Since his
conviction, the Rev. D. X,. Junkin, D. D., pastor
of the Presbyterian church of Hollidaysburg,
and the Rev. 0. 0. McClean, pastor of the ' Pres
byterian church, of Huntingdon, were unremitting
in their attentions to his spiritual state, for which
he expressed his gratitude when they attended
him to the gallows.
WlLmitunTow, DEL., August 28.—About five o'-
clock, yesterday afternoon, a terrible explosion
ocourei at Dupont's powder mills on the Brandy
wine.
Mr. Alexis J. Dupont, assisted by seven work
men, were removin. c a large and heavy box from
a building, which had been used since the year
1812, as a powder house, when the box accident
ally came in contact with the wall, and fire was
produced by the friction. An explosion im
mediately followed, burning all hands in a shock
ing manner. Mr. Dupont leaped into a race, and
the others made every effort to extinguish the
fire on their clothes, which they succeeded in
doing, with the assistance of Mr. Dupont. Mr.
I D. then hastened to see if the press roof had
caught fire, and as he approached, a. terrible ex
plosion took place, shattering the building to
atoms. •
By the flying fragments Mr. Dupont had his
right thigh fractured and three of his ribs broken,
while one of his, lungs was perforated. He was
found among-the ruins, and when taken up gave
directions to the persons present to hasten and ex
tinguish - the flames.
SUNDAY, 6 P. ni.-111r. Dupont, Anthony Dough
erty, and Edward Hurst, the foreman, are dead.
Louis Vache is mortally wounded. John Mc-
Clafferty and Geo. Fisher, are injured, but not
fatally. All the rest escaped unhurt.
Auer. 20.—The General Land Office to-day de
olded against the pre-emption claim of a colored
I man to three hundred and sixty acres of land in
Wisconsin, taking the ground of the Supreme
Court in the Dred Scott case, that {(A free negro,
of African race, whose ancestors were brought to
; this country and sold as slaves, is not a citizen
within the meaning of the Constitution of the Uni
ted States.".
This decision of the Laud Office applies to the
other similar oases pending.
The Presidiint has, by proclamation, declared

Joseph Holt, of Kentucky, was to-day tendered,
but he' declined, an appointment as Commissioner

21.—The Interior Department has re
ceived intelligence from reliable gentlemen and
fugitive Mormons, that Brigham Young is pre
paring to resist Gen Harney; that he relapsed
into the grossest infidelity and atheism, and
continues to hold up the Government of the
United States to the contempt of the Mormons.
The sale of the. Delaware and Kansas Indian
trust lands yielded over five hundred and eighty
seven thousand six hundred dollars. .
There is no good foundation for the report that
the American forces in the China waters have
seized the Island of Formosa, and the rumor has
probably arisen from the appearance of a. United
States war vessel at the Island in question, to in
vestigate the alleged murders of shipwrecked
sailors in that vicinity.
Among the dispatches just received by the gov
ernment, is the correspondence which took place
between one of our naval officers and the Gover
nor of Singapore,- relative to his ordering our flag
to be hauled down by a British officer from 'the
Dutch barque " Henrietta Maria," which had
been abandoned by her officers and most of her
crew, and taken possession of by the master of an
American ship. Governor Blundell earenstly dis
claims any want of respect , to the American flag,
or the rights of American citizens, in the steps he
felt it to be his duty to take.
• But the matter does not here terminate. The
barque was delivered to the government authori
ties of the Netherlands, in India, on the ground
that the vessel being Dutch, the Chinese coolies
found on board, if innocent of mutiny, bad claim
on the owner; and if guilty, were punishable by b
the Dutch Criminal Court.
The Evening States learns from the best• au
thority that about two years since an American
merchant, named Robinet, residing at Formosa,
had his vessel seized by the Chinese authorities ;
and the same act subsequently repeated, although
he had the permission of the Chinese officials to
keep the American flag flying over his establish
ment.
This being reported to Commodore Armstrong,
he dispatched Capt. Simms, with directions that
he should remain there and keep the American
colors flying until further orders.
This occurrence is not thought, by the Navy
Department, to be a matter of consequence, nor
can it be construed as an adoption by this govern
ment of systems of reprisals, or departure from the
neutrality we have endeavored to maintain in the
Chinese seas.

Age and Debility
AA old age comes creeping on, it brings with it
many attendant infirmities. Loss of appetite and
weakness impair the health, and want of activity
makes the mind discontented and unhappy. In
cases where old age adds its influence, it is almost
impossible to add vigor and health, and although
many remedies have been tried, all have failed,
until Beerhave's Holland Bitters were known and
used. In every case where they have been em
ployed, they have invariably given strength and
restored the appetite. They have become a great
agent for this alone, and are used by many people
who are suffering from loss of appetite and, gene
ral debility. In cases of long standing chronic
diseases, they act as a charm, invigorating
,the
system, thus giving nature another opportunity
to repair physical injuries.

using Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative; some as a
cosmetic or beautifier of the complexion, some
to prevent the hair falling, some as a mere dress

We are utterly averse to incurring editorial

it no trifling matter to have the hair on a man's

it unworthy the editorial profession to recommend
a Hair Restorative that will effect this very thing.

QUEBEC, August 23.—The Canadian screw
teemship Ang/o Saxon arived at this port this
morning. She left Liverpool at "about two o'clock
P. M., on Wednesday the 12th inst.
The route of the Any* Saxon was too far North
of the line selected for the Atlantic cable, to lead
to any expectation of her falling in with the
Telegraphic Cable fleet.
She reports much thick weather and constant
winds through her whole passage.
Owing to an accident on shore, in connexion
with the landing of the cable, the Telegraph ex
pedition did not finally sail from Valencia Island
until the evening of Friday, the 7th. The latest
news from Valencia, is dated August 10th, 4 o'clock
P. M., and is as follows:
The work of laying down the Atlantic cable is
going on as satisfactorily as the best friends of
this great enterprise could desire. Up to the
present time about three hundred miles of cable
have been laid. As the depth of water into
which it is now being submerged is nearly two
miles, the laying of the cable from shallow to deep
water was effected without difficulty. The signals
from on board the steamer Niagara are every
thing that an electrician could desire. The
steamers are heading West, with a moderate fair
breeze, and the cable is being run out from on
board the Niagara at the rate of about five miles
per hour, and messages are being constantly re
ceived on shore. The following is the latest
flash from on board the Niagara.
" All well on board. There is a moderate
Westerly wind, and all are more and more trust
ful of complete successs."
The steamer Vanderbilt, from New York, ar
rived off Southampton on Saturday, the Ilth.

hours, mean time.
The A.tlantie, which sailed from New York at
the same time . as the Vanderbilt, arrived at Liv
erpool at 12 o'clock, midnight, on the 11th. The
Canard steamship, America, arrived at Liverpool
on the 10th.
Lord John Russell had reported from the Par
liamentary Select Committee, that the Jews could
not be admitted as members of Parliament under
the existing act for the modification of oaths.
Lord Palmerston submitted to the House of
Commons the difficulties with Prance in regard
to the Moldavian elections, and stated that it had
been decided in the conference at Osborne to re
commend the Sultan to annul the late election.
Lard Palmerston also stated that there had
been differences between the English and French
Governments relative to the Principalities, not as
to their union, but as to the regularity of the el
ections. There was good reason to believe that
Austria would concur with the decision arrived
at between the French and English Governments
and that the Sultan, seeing that there was no
thing in the measures recommended that would
compromise his dignity or independence, would
adopt their views and declare the elections void.
Lord Palmerston said there was no grounds to
apprehend any estrangement between France and
England on account of the Moldavian difficulties.
A spirited debate had taken place in Parlia
ment in regard to affairs in India.
Lord Palmerston stated that 80,000 troops had
been sent out, and that active recruiting was go
ing on.
Mr. D'lsraeli expressed the opinion that the
campaign for thfs year was lost.
The Emperor slud Empress had returned safely
to Paris.
Late Indian news was momentarily expected
when the Anglo Saxon sailed.
The French news is of but little interest.
The journals unanimously support the attitude
assumed by the French Ambassador at Constanti
nople.
A dispatch from Vienna states that the repre
sentatives of France, Russia, Prussia and Sevilla
were announced in notes couched in precisely sim
ilar terms of the cessation of diplomatic relations
with the Porte, and their approaching departure

By the propeller Edinburgh, Captain Cummings,
which reached , New York on the 23d inst., we
have the most interesting news of the progress of
the Atlantic Cable—some days later than that
brought by the Anglo Saxon, whose account of
the success of the expedition we also publish.
The Edinburgh left Glasgow on the 9th instant.
and on the 14th, about seven o'clook A. M.,
the weather being. rather hazy, two large ships
were discovered about nine hundred miles from
the Western coast of Ireland, one of which was,
as seen through the Captain's glass ; distinctly
paying out the cable. This ship, as well as that
in attendance upon her, carried the British flag.
Hence, as the vessels were then more than half
way across, the portion of cable assigned to the
Niagara must have been triumphantly laid, and
afterit had been successfully joined to the coil
on board the Agamemnon, the latter must have
started with her share of the World's
.great link
under equally favorable auspices.
On the night of .tbe 35tb, a brisk gale sprung
up which continued during the 16th, and' some
what delayed the voyage of the Edinburgh. It is
probable the Agamemnon felt the effects of ; this
gale, but as she was only advancing at about the
rate of five knots an hour, when seen by the
Edinburgh, its violence, though it might slightly
delay her progress, was, according'to Capt. Cum
mings' judgment, not likely to damage the cable.
It was the opinion of the Captain, first mate, and
the old sea-hands on board, that everything prom
ised well for the success of the great enterprise,
and that the cable would reach safe quarters in
Newfoundland on Tuesday, or, at latest, Wednes
day of the present week.—N, Y. Times.

MARGARET Donner., widow f Henry Donnel, Esq.,
and the mother of the late Hon. C. G. Donnel, in
the 83d year of her age.
For more than forty years she was a faithful
and exemplary member of the Presbyterian church
at Sunbury. The bereaving stroke falls heavily
upon her family and friends. Yet this is what,
iu the course of nature, was to be looked for. A
comparatively small number attain to her fall old
age. She has left a weeping circle here to join
the circle of loved • ones around the throne in
heaven. It was a beautiful sight to behold that
venerable mother in Israel, four months ago, sit-
Hog at the table of the Lord's Supper. She has
gone to take her place with the Patriarchs, Pro
phets, Apostles and Martyrs, at the marriage sup
per of the Lamb—a sight far more beautiful to
the eyri of faith. The most uncomplaining, pa
tient, and cheerful spirit ever adorned her Chris
tian character. During her protracted illness, no
murmur escaped her lips. To her it was painful
tolear those around expressing a hope for her re
covery. With an intellect keen and ciear as
wharf in the prime of life, she looked for , the sum
mons to go home to heaven. Repeatedly, her cry
was, "Come, Lord Jesus,come quickly."
Drun-;--In Summit Township, May Bth, infant
daughter of, .David and. Mary Scott, aged two
months.
Mourn her not; the desert now 48 past, and
she has gained that bright and sinless land. She
was too pure eq. this dark, sin:stained world, and
God has taken her to his own right hand.
DIED—IR Mifflin Township, Aug. 4th, at the res
idence of her son, Mr. John A. Patterson, MRS.
MARGARET PATTERSON, aged nearly eighty-three
years.
The deceased was born September Ist., 1774,
in the State, of New York. At an early age, she
removed, with her parents, to Harrisburg, Pa.;
thence to Pittsburgh in 1795. She connected
herself with the. Associate Reformed Church, in
1614, under the pastoral care of Rev. Moses Kerr.
Having, in 1846, removed to APKeesp ort, and there
being no Associate Reformed church convenient,
she connected herself with the First Presbyterian
church, then under the, pastoral care of Rev. P.H.
Jacobs, and she remained in this connexion till
her death. For some months before her death
she suffered much bodily affliction; which she
bore with Christian patience. She often expressed
her readiness to depart and be with Christ, when
ever it should be his will. The whole of her
Christian life was a living epistle, known and read
of all ivho'knew her. She had many friends, and
perhaps not an enemy. She was amiable in all
her life. The Saviour failed her not in the hour
of death. Calmly and quietly she fell asleep in
Jesus.
"The coffin, the shroud, and the grave,
To her were no objects of dread;
On Him who is mighty to save,
Her soul was with confidence stayed."
Not an apparent struggle or audible groan wit
nessed her transfer from earth to heaven—from
the Church militant to the Church triumphant—
from Christ's kingdom here 'below, to his kingdom'
on high. * * *
DIED-At the residence of her son, Thomas Al
exander, in South Fayette Township, Allegheny
County, Pa., on Sabbath, March 22d, . MRS.,
Many, wife of Thomas Alexander, deceased, in
the 96th year of her age.
Mrs. Alexander was born in York County, Pa.
In early youth, she made a profeseion of religion
in the Associate Church, of which her parents
were members,, under the pastoral care of the
Rev. Mr. Clarkson. At an'early period her Pa
rents removed to Allegheny County, where she was
united in marriage, in which union she lived more
than half a century. She retained her connexion
with the Church of her adoption for many years
after her marriage; bat during a revival gener
ally knownas the failing exercise, she connected
herself with the Presbyterian church of Bethel, in
which her 'husband was a member and Ruling
Elder, and remained a constant attendant upon
the means of grace at this place until the organi
zation of the church of Bethany, in her immediate
neighborhood; she cast in her lot .with this feeble
band of God's people; , and, lived and died with
them. For more than three-score years and ten,
the time allotted to mortals here, she wore the
badge of discipleship; and how-well her life cor
responded with her profession; is attested by an
aged female acquaintance, who; when informed
of her death, replied, "I cannot say that I am
sorry to hear of the removal of one of God's
chosen ones from time to eternity—from the sor
rows and sufferings of earth, to the glorious lib
erty of the children of God." All her ovin chil
dren but two, several of her grand-children, and
some of her great-grand-children, have gone be
fore her to the tomb, and she, like a'shock of corn,
fully, ripe, has been "gathered honie to her rest.
Although her -mental powers were greatly im
paired, salvation by Christ was the theme of her
conversation. , With -her,- prayer was her vital
breath, her native air, her watch-word even at
the gate of
,death.
Daring the last weeks of her life, she frequently
expressed, the desire, when retiring to rest, that
all things might be in readiness in the morning,
that she might " make an early , start," doubtleas
referring to her removal from earth. In this, God:
seems to'have granted her the desire of her heart.
On a calm and tranquil Sabbath morning, as the
rosy hue' spread over the sky, and.east a mellow
light over the earth, her spirit left its feeble tene
ment, and soared away, as we 'trust, from earth
to heaven—exchanging the etirry, dawn of an ,
earthly Sabbath for the bright glories of the heav
enly—the faint glimmerings of the'natural sun,
for the mild• and heavenly radiance of the Sun of
Righteousness.
'.'Why lament the Christian_dying ?
Why indulge in tears and gloom?
Calmly on the lord relying,
He can greet the opening tomb."
"Life's duties done, as sinks the clay;
Light from its load the spirit flies; "
,
While heaven and earth combine to min
How blest the righteous when he dies!!
Dina—ln Summit Township, June Bth, Mns.
Mawr SOOTT; wife of David Scott, and daughter
of A. M. McCandiess, , aged 22 years,l. month and
26 days. • ,_ .
A few months since, she went out from our
midst a young and hippy bride. Thus early has
she, passed away, leaving a husband and many
friends to mourn, but not without hope: - She
bore her afflictions patiently, met death with calm .
resignation, and has gone,,we trust, yhere,there
is no death, neither !sorrow nor pain. Mrs. Scott
was a communicant of the Presbyterian Church.
What bitter sorrows thrill my heart,
To think that she and I must part ;
Alas ! how piercing is the pain,`• a.:
No more on earth to met again.
How, mild and lovely was, that youth—
She early learned and loved , the truth.;
She walked the ways of righteousness,
And lived with all her friends, in peace
