to the action of the juror; or to the exer
cisUof the elective franchise ; or to holding
office; or to the discharge of any
- other civil duty, Reformed Presbyterians
_mast abitain from all such acts, as involving,

That the moral character of the Fed-.

era Constitution of the United States, bein g, ,
a maitii. of .opinion, and undecided by any,

recognition of it, should not be made a term
of ebolesiestical cominunion.

two Chureheime united in their. 'views of
the great principles of ,•civil government; ,

`that communion should be held with
immorality, `the ground of the re-union

belief of this committee that the Reformed

differenee of religious principles, but by -
other 'causes, as is shown in the letter, to
which a reply is expected.
5;. ShOuld the brethren of the other Com

Well, what is the result of the " tonics
They make us feel better—for a while-L--give
us an appetite for more than we can digest,
and being imperfectly digested, the blood ,
which it makes is not only imperfect as to
quality, it , is too great in quantity; •but it is
in the body, and must crowd itself some
where, always selecting the weaker part,
which v in. most oases, is the head!—very
natural ibat—and there •is headache, dull
ness—neier was much brightness in that
head anyhow—in fact, it amounts to stnpid
ity, and such persOns being naturally stupid,
and making themselves artificially so, they
have a double right to the . title : as the
youth had to a diploma, who graduated at
two colleges, and became as the Calf did
which milked two cows—a very great calf !:
Therefore, never eat by rule. Neier eat
at one meal as' mush as you did itlhe cor
- respon dingo one of - ithe - daybeforersimply
because that was your usual - quantity; but
eat according to your appetite. If you have
no appetite eat' nothing until you do. If
you are in a hurry for that appetite, and time
is valuable to you,* not attempt to whet it
up by stimulating food, by exciting drinks,
or forcing tonics, 'but bring it about in a nat
ural,way, by moderate and continuous exer

interesting, exciting, and in itself useful.'

bered, as a truth which cannot be denied,
that a given amount of violent exercise
taken within an hour will do many times the
zood, if scattered continuously over a time
of five hours, without any of the danger that
pertains to the former, especially as to feeble
persons. All exercise carried to severe fa
tigue, is an injury; better have taken none.

A: Northern Line to the Pacific.
While our Government hai been devoting,
sielusitra attention_ to the various Southern
lines of railroad to the Pacific, events have
been 'preparing to develop 'an absolute news
'sityl- for , a Nerthern -line—a railroad or a
wagon road-7by which convenient and
ready access ccitid ,be had to the Northern
coasts of the'Pacific. The probability now
is, that our tardiness gives this line to- the
British Government With something of
the'enety we so much need, the Canadas
are now pushing the survey from the West
-ern extremity of Lake Superior . toward. Van
iionver's Island, and the trotietus given by
the , discoverrof gold on Frazer river, will
carry the survey through, and open a line
of travel there, if not build the railroad.
The whele Country, from Lake SuPeriin
to the Rocky Mountains is a rich, cultivable,
-habitable plain. A railroad may be laid at
a cheaper rate"on any line from the 47th to
the - 54th parallel of latitute, than at any
point whatever of the great plain South
ward to Texas. The . climate is as favorable,
Etna the is richer. The distance is' at
least no greater for the crossing of the, plain
itself;'and timber is more easily sent from
Like. Superior, on the But,' or from' the
splendid pine forests of theltocky Moun
tains, on the-West. Once establish the fact
that the extent of gold-mining 'on Frazer
river is to be something' comparable 'with
the 'mining of 'California, arid it-will repay
any company to build a road from Lake
Superior to. the healliwaters of the Saskatch
ewan. Crossing the mountains at present
by other modes, the road may be renewed
in Frazer river valley, and thus the problim
Of a railroad to the Pacific will, in our opin
ion, first be solved.
These latitudes in Europe are the central
countries of Ws Civilization, but in America
, ivehave Utterly neglected them. We have
leftl'thc rich - central plains of the Continent,
`eorreapcinduig to the grain growing plains
which end- their tributes to - Odessa, to Moe
cow, and to the Baltic, to the care of Sir
George Simpson's company of muskrat launt
ers. If the reports are true in regard to the
permanent wealth of the Northern gold
region, we can judge of the result of travel
and settlement by the experience we have
had with California. With Minnesota as a
point of departure on our side, and Selkirk's
colony in British America, a line of settle
ments as well as of travel, will be laid across
the rich prairies of the upper, Missouri and
Saskatchewan rivers with magical celerity.
The passes to the East from Frazer river
are very easy to the Saskatchewan, and on
the great prairie between the mountains and
Lake Superior, heavily laden wagons may
drive almost any where. Gold would reach
New. York almost or quite as cheaply from
the upper tributefies of Frazer river, in this
way, as by California and Panama.
The distances by this Northern route,
which is in British America beyond Red
River, are, from St. Paul or Superior to Pem
bina, four hindred and fifty miles ; thence
to Carlton House, a trading fort on the Sas
katchewan, six hundred miles; thence to
Boat Encampment, at the pass of the moun
tains, one hundred and fifty miles; and to
Thompson's river, a tributary of Frazer riv
er, fifty'miles—total, sixteen hundred and
fifty miles. This is by far the shortest, as
well as the best route across the Continent.

Cardinal Wiseman's Nizion of Evangel-
ical Societies.
Cardinal Wiseman's Pastoral, lately issued,
contains the following passage: "There are
societies for the myltiplication of regular
and irregular agents of various sects, not
only of additional curates, but of Bible read
ers, catechists, lily missionaries, tract distri
butors, and. other such innumerable; there
are societies for publishing and distributing
tracts, and fly-sheets by biles, with'.that
most gigantic living evidence of sterility
ever given by heresy, the Bible Society,
ith its millions of untruthful volumes.
Thep how many aim at rivaling or, supplant
ing the truly Apostolic congregation of Pro
paganda' Fide, or the more general French
Association for the Propagation of the. Faith,
under the titles of Missionary Societies,
Anglican or DisSenting for every part of the
world. And oh ! more grievous still, more
than one such combination holds on, for
waging war against the poor of Ireland, and
perverting its starving inhabitants. Add to
these Evangelical Alliances, and other such
societies, the very avowed purpose of which
is to combine all sects on the principle which
is as old as St. Gregory's age, "That, all
heresies unite, when war is waged against
the Church of God:" And even those as
sociations which have in view more immedi
ately the education of the poor, keep stead
ily, before them the same adverse purpose.
The promoters of ragged schools make it their
boast how many Catholic childien are drawn
into them, to the detriment of their best and
only patriniony—their faith. Other school
unions, while they hold out every induce
ment to our children, of gratuitous admis
siert; efficient education, and eleemosynary
seduction to attend them, make t..e distinc
tive cry of Protestantism their password for
entry—the perniciously indiscriininate read
ing of God's sacred Word., While all inch
instruments of zeal are used against us, the
world is clearly with them, and they are
4ielded with worldly wisdom and vigor by
its children!' So speaks the English per
vert to Catholicism.
Eat Plenty, of Fat Meat.
In a late number of the Scalpel; in an ar
ticle on "Diet," Dr. Dixon, in assuming the
position that " the use , of oil would decrease
the victims of Consumption, nine•tenths,
and that is the whole secret of the use of
cod liver oil," quotes the following summary
of observations on this subject, made by Dr.
Hooker
1. Of all the persons between the ages of
fifteen and twenty two years, more than one
fifth eat no fat meat.
2. Of pitsons at the age of,forty.five, all,
excepting less than one in fifty, habitually
use fat meat. •
3. Of persons who, between the ages of
fifteen and twenty-two, avoid fat meat, a few,
ad - qures an appetitelor it, and hie to a good
old age, while 'the.greater portion die with
phthisie before thirty. five.,
4. Of persons dying •with phthisio, ,be
tween the ages of twelve 'and forty-five,
nine tenths, at leait, have never used fat
meat:
Most_ individuals who' use no Jat meat,
use a little sbutter or oily gravies, though
many compensate for this Want, in part, at
least, by a free use of those articles, and
alio 'eggs,and various saccharine substances.
But they constitute an imperfect substitute
for fat meat, without which, sooner or later,
the body is almost sure to show the effects of
deficient calorification.
The Coolie Trade.
Mr. Reed, U. S. Minister in China, has for
warded a communication to the State De-
Tart - went,
.and, has, addressed a circular to
Consuls in China against the trade, stating
that, in his belief, it, is illegal, and certain
ly against the instincts of ):qtmanity. He
has also addreased the Spanish Consul to
the same effect. ., The, British are engaged.
extensively: in the trade. Mr. Reed attaches
a statistical table to the ,
communication to
the Pepartment, from
,the Hong Kong Gov
ernment • Gazette, giving a return of emi
grant ships to which eertifioates were
granted by the emigrant officer, during the
year 1857, by which it appears there were
shipped :
To Grits:then Bay, Sydney, and. Mel
'bourne 17,722
To San iraileisoo, 5,273
To Htivana, 2,126
To Singapore, 329
Total, 25,962
The only females shipped were to San
Francisco, • 512
The Coolie trade is hilt another name for
the slave trade. The. Coolies are bought
likezalaves, treated as slaves, and the only
difference between the Coolie and the Afri
can slave trade, is rather in • the name than
in fact. Every visitor to Cuba sees and
knows, this, and that any mitigating circum
stances are eFceptionipto the, general role,
just ,as there may, be
,some, mitigating cir
cumstances in the taking of slaves from
Africa to Cuba.
Charcoal for BUMS.
The French Gazette Medicate states that
by an, accident, charcoal has been discov
ered to be a cure =for burns. By laying a
piece or cold charcoal upon the barn, the
pain subsides immediately. By leaving the
charcoal on one hour, the wound is healed,
as has been demonstrated- on several occa
sions. The reined) , is cheap and simple,
and certainly deserves a trial
TEE Bishops of the Episcopalian Church
have decided upon Sewannee as the location
of the proposed University' of the South.
Sewannee is on a plateau of the mountains,
about seven miles from Winchester, Tennes•
see, and is the point selected by the Con held at Mdutgoinery about eighteen
months ago.
Debasement of Language.
The debasement of a language is a sure
mark of the debasement of a nation. The
insincerity of a language is a proof of the
insincerity of a nation, for a time comes in
the history of a nation when words no lon
ger stand for things, when names are given
for the sake of an euphonious sound, and
when titles are but the epithets of unmean
ing courtesy—a time when Majesty, De
fender of the Faith, bloat Noble, Worship
ful, and Honorable, not only mean nothing,
but do not flush the cheek with the shame
of convicted falsehood, when they are worn
as empty ornaments.—Frederick. W. Rob
ertson, M. A..
