A Glimpse of Heaven.
:Reflections on the Death of an Aged Grandmother
W. WHITTON awniciz, A.M
Poe this corruptible must put on inoomtption, mud this

TO My MOTHER.
I take my harp, with eypiess bound,
And strike its chords with plaintive sound,
To mourn, dear mother, mourn with thee,
A parent lost to thee and me.
Her kindly words, and counsels sage,
And thoughts and deeds in reverend age,
We both have known through all our years,
And treasure now with sighs and tears.
Yet, mother, why should we be sad,
When heaven and all its hosts are glad
That one more soul, so ripe as this,
Has burst its play, and reached its bliss?
There is no sorrow in the death
Of friends so near, we love so dear,
If but assured their dying breath
Uplifts them from their troubles here,
And wafts their sainted souls away,
To realms of bright, eternal day,
Their Father and their Saviour near !
Then, though affliction's tears must fall,
Oh t let us still rejoice to know,
Her pains, and fears, and troubles all,
And totis, are ended here below,
That death but waved her spirit up
To heaven, her high and constant hope,
Where now she wears that starry crown
The Saviour promised to his own;
4tl, filled with rapture, moves amongi
That sanctified and blood.washed thrtiiie
Of saints and prbpbets, round the &POW
Who strike their golden harps, and turnktheir'eatig
Of praise and glory to the TERRE IN ONN.
A Bible which she left me, still I have,
A precious book to point us to the skies;
To me thrice precious for the hand that gave,
And pages that were sacred in her eyes.
Ott while on earth she read that sacred tome,
And pondered o'er its truths sublime—
Read of God's glories past, and those to come,
Down to the distant verge of time;
Those views from Patmos of the Eternal .Home;
Of all the saints, the martyrs, and the good,
Whose names are there; of Mohes, who once stood,
When be had led the hosts to Jordan's plains,
On Pisgah's top, and viewed the promised land,
(As she, through faith, then saw the heavenly
strand,
Beyond the Jordem—deathl) of him whose strains
Lit up her soul so oft with sacred fire,
Such as Isaiah only could inspire ;
Of Israel's sweet singer—him whose psalms
Attune the Church's loudest songs below;
Of Abram, Isaac, Jacob, Lazarus, too,
A host innumerous, that shine, with palms
Of victory, and robes washed white as snow;
Of this eternal, heavenly home, and all
These holy scenes, she eft with rapture read,
And longed for freedom from this earthly thrall,
For close communion with these sainted dead !
But, disernbodiedwow, all glowing, young,
She walks amid that bright and glorious thong,
Of Kings, Apostles,. Prophets, Martyrs there,
And mingles hallelujahs with their song:;
And falls before the GREAT WHITE THRONE in
prayer,
Amongst the four and twenty elders; there-
Beholds old Enoch, and Elijah stand
Embodied, and from death and pain as far
As when they rode to that celestial land
Through clouds and space in God's bright,
flaming oar;
There sees Isaiah; David, and with them
Oasts her bright crown before Messiah's feet,
And hears them still in heaven extol his name,
Whilst the Redeemed with shouts his praise
repeat,
And heaven's far-echoing arches back the praise
,proclaim.
Oh he w delightful if this all be so—
If she hasleft our company . below
To enjoy such rapturous scenes in heaven above
Oh let us still pursue that brightening road
That leads to heaven's high gates, where, joined
in love,
We all may meet her in that blest abode,
And dwell for aye together round the TIMONE

France has occupied a most important place in
the history of the world, ever since the beginning
of the Christian era. Upon her soil some of the
most wonderful and startling events have taken
place. She is famed for literary,artistic, scientific,
and philosophical attainments, for bravery in
n , ar, and for the piety and faith of her martyrs.
But notwithstanding the many French works re
lating to her history, there was wanting some
compendious work that would give to the English
reader in a fellable and attractive manner the
great facts of the history of France, and the civ'
cumetanees connected with them—together with
leading causes to which the great changes that
have taken place there may be traced. This is
the very thing that has been so happily done in
this volume before us. From no other single
volume can so mach be learned of the history of
that country so memorable in the peat, and whose
future is now the subject of so much anxious
speculation.

The Georges were but sorry sovereigns, having
very few personal characteristics worthy of no
tice. And yet, there probably never existed rulers
in any age or country surrounded by such colossal
minde, or compelled to take part in more thrilling
transactions, Theirs was the Augustan era of
Britiek history. At no other peried ham that nu
tion produced eo many eminent generals, orators,
stateemen. philosophers, and poets; and in no
other period of its progress have public events of
equalmagnitude occurred. All these things find
a place in this hook.. It contains the personal in.
cidents of the lives of these four Kings, the pub
lic events of their reign, and biogriphical notices
of their chief ministers, courtiers, and favorites,
The author has done his work well, and given us
in a compaot and convenient form, and in an at
tractive and suggestive'style, a vast amount of in
formation concerning men in high places, and af
fairs of lasting and world-wide interest.

TEE Virtual/iris; A Tale of they last Century.
By W. AL Thackeroy. Pp: 411, Bvo. New
York: Barper t Bros. Pittsburgh: John S.
Dalli4yon. 1869
Mr, Thackeray is the great delineator of the
manners, customs, and habits of the eighteenth
century. In this volume we have the entire
work that has been appearing for two successive
years in Rarper'a Monthly,- arid which will be
eagerly sought in its piesent form. Among the
historical characters introduced conspicuously,
are General Braddock—the scene of whose ter
rible defeat is in our own neighborhood—George
Washington, Dr. Samuel Johnson, Riehardson,
the novelist; 'General Wolfe, and General Rowe.
The author has not done hill justice to the youth
of General Washington. And whilst we do not
consider this equal to some of hie previous pro
ductions, yet the pictures of life= among the
gentry of Colonial Virginia, of London Society
before the Revolutionary war, and of the war,
are worth study for the vividness with which
history shines through them.

Yatritg.
Good Nothers.
I was once on a visit at a gentleman's.
house, in the town of Huntington, and my
attention was arrested , by a picture that hung
in the dining-room. It representedan aged ,
woman, in a homely dress. It was not , a
fine work of art., and it boasted no- deem,
flower peculiarity but that of extreme aim.
plieity of delineation; yet my, eye rested
complacently on that good, calm face, with
its thoughtful eyeis and kind , month, that
one almost expected to break into a smile.
I looked at my host; he had similar bright,
dark eyes and open brow; and, without ask.
ing, I wasp" spared the picture,. with the
plain, clesreap and neat Oren, represented
his mother. Seeing my eyes fixed on the
painting, my host came to mysidia sal - 430°1f
gazing, and after a little pause, while' allight
mist—it might be a gathering tear—dimmed
his eyes, said, half:abstractedly, as though
he was thinking aloud, "I know she , wasa
sinner, because the Bible says all have
sinned; so, of course, she, -like the rest` of
us, must have-been a sinner but I cannot
call to mind a word or deed she ",ever said or
did, that was sinfril." I turned. to him as
he was speaking, and his eye caught the, in
quiring look of mine. He , smiled, and.re
peated, " Yes, it's true; my only knowl
edge that she was a sinner, is, that the
Bible says, 'There is none righteous, no,
not one.'" What a testimony !" I ex
elaimedl "oh, that> my children could say
the same of me l"
These words' of my friend, a man not
given to strong, still less to exaggeratellex
pressions, sunk deep into my heart, and led
we to think a great deal more about mothers
than I>had ever previously done.
Reader, the best earthly blessing is a good
mother, and the greatest earthly curse is
bad one.
Children may overcome the:.' misery of a
bad father, but rare, indeed, are the in
stances where they have escaped ruin, when
they have had a bad mother. But I have
not the heart , to write about bad mothers; it
is Satan's worst mischief—the , myetery of
iniquity. Let us comfort our souls as . we
travel life's journey, by thinking over some
good mothers.
George Stephenson, the.great railway en
gineer,' had a, good mother. In all her pot , .
erty (and it, was. bitter i ) abe , wal epolien-,of
as cc a real canny body," the highest praise
her neighbors kneW how to give.
Sir Humphrey D'aVy bad a good.mother.
—one who encouraged him to study ; one
who, during her widowhood, devoted herself
to her children, and taught them perse
verance by, her good example.
Joseph Hume, P. M., the celebrated
statesman`, bad. a good mother. She was a
widow, in poor circumstances, and kept a
small pottery shop, in Montrose, Scotland.
She resolved her diligent boy should have
a good education, and laborid hard to give
him every advantage e .when he started in
life. Whatever he learned in public life,
he learned economy in private life, at his
mother's lowly home.
In specially religious biography, what a
great number of good mothers come to our
remembrance. Mrs. Susannah Wesley had
a family of nineteen children. Her hus
band's income was very limited, but her
wisdom in managing her small means and
large family, made. the .rectory at Epworth
a; memorable dwelling. Here grew up John
and Charles Wesley, and many:pious, gifted
daughters. Eloquence, genius, and spir.
ituality flourished in tz at home, and old.
mately spread from thence over , the length
and breadth of the land. Great as were
the gifts of nature bestowed on that family,
the best gift was the good mother.
Dr. Isaac Watts had a good mother.
When he was a little child, his pions father
was a prisoner at Southampton, for con
science' sake, and he remembered his
mother carrying him in her arms to the gate
of the prison, and weeping over him as she
thought of her husband's affliction. Those
dark days of religious persecution passed
away, and her soh grew up, not only to bless
and comfort his mother, but to write sweet
and holy strains for old and young.
ERE PILMBYTERIAN BANNER AND VOCATE
Dr Deddridge had a good mother. He
was the youngest_child of a large family.
Death had' so often entered the dwelling
and gathered the infant flowers, that Mrs.
Doddridge rejoiced with trembling over her
youngest treasure.' While she oared for his
body, she did not neglect his soul. The old
Dutch tiles round the fireplace,. had Scrip
ture stories painted on them, and the child,
as be sat on her lap in the evening, used to
listen to his mother's voice, telling him the
customs of the holy, men of old, and God's
dealings with his ancient people. The boy
grew to manhood ;
,the mother went to her
heavenly rest; but those evening. hours
were never forgetten. When Philip Dodd
ridge became a , teacher of truth and right.
eau:mess, his mother's voice lingered in his
ears, her words dwelt in his memory, 'her
pious teachings throbbed in his heart, and
made him, in his turn; zealous for the truth,
and peculiarly forcible and tender in writing
for the young. Thank`Ged for good moth:.
era; may, their number 'be ever increasing.

she had finished lulling, her.mother rather
chided her for praying aboutPsuch trifles:
I-think that was wrong, dear children, but
her gratitude to God, showed that 'she had

Decay, -ctf-
A Jew who had recently completed a tour
iro.Europe, says Belgium and France
tbe' (Jewish) synagogues- are empty; the
rabbis without influence r and. without con
gregations ; thousande.of Jews denying their
origin, have loft all' nationality and love for
their own country and Jerusalem. They
have gentilized their names and theitman.
nets; and, in a few yearb,'when the dengue
is again taken; in Belgium, there will per
haps be not one who declares himself a Jew.
Iry France, if possible, it is even worse. A. ,
Jewish French periodical says of the major
ity of the Jews in , Franee, "that..they, do
not visit the synagogues, that they send
their children to Gentile schools, do not have
their eerie cirenineiked, and are rarely pres
ent at any real Jewish ceremonies."
The barnake at"Solferino.
A more careful and deliberate investiga
tion has; shown that the carnage at Solferino,
instead , of being magnified in the first so
counts ; was greatly understated. The allies,
France and Sardinia, at first put their losses,
in dead and wounded,. at twenty.one• thou
sand. According to •the New York Times,,
which has taken special' pains to be well in
formed on this .subject,•the official records
of the various hospitals'and other authentic
documentary evidence, now shoW that their
real loss on that day was not less. than forty
five thousand. Supposing, the ,Austrian lose
to have , been still greater, as that ofan army.
in, retreat is always greater than the loss :of
an' armyin pursuit, the entire number of
killed and wounded in that single .battle
could not have , been much less than one bun,
dred thousand !--or about one fourth part
of the whole number engaged.
Lord Brougham.
Lord Brougham's mind and body seem to
bid equal defiance to the torpid advances of
great age. He is verging on eighty; and yet
his physical and mental vigor show no symp.
toms of decay. The last three or four years
have brought - about quite a change in his
Autumnal amusements. Formerly he left
England soon after Parliament brokb rip for
France, when we first beard of' his appear
ing at the Institute at Paris, under the aegis
of Arago, and then hobnobbing with the oc.

renounced. France and the French, and to
have dedicated his learned i kaisnre to the ed
ification of provincialiudiences, which yield
him a splendid retail of journalistic re.

THE PACIFIC EXPOSITOR.
The power of the Preen is beyond all calculation. Eternity
only can reveal its influence upon mankind. All sects and
denominations, all schools, creeds, and parties, undere bend
the necessity of using the Press to propagate and defend
their opinions and measures. They all have their organs,
from the daily sheet to the stately Quarterly.
It is not our wish, however, to interfere by this publics.
Goo with any other, but to supply what seems to us to be
a sp ecial and pressing want on this coast. It is believed
there is no portion of our whole eoutinent, where a work
of this kind is so much needed as in California, In pro.
portion to the number of inhabitants, there is here more
mind and more capability of reading, and more need of
reading of the right kind, than in any other part of the
globe. •
The PACIFIC EXPOSITOR is to be devoted to the expo
sition of God's Word, and the preaching of the Gospel,
according to the Standards of our Church. We wish to do
by the Press, for our fellow•citizems, just wbat we do for
Calvary congregation every Sabbath ; that is, to expound,
explain a'nd preach to them the Word of the Living God.
We would, if possible, furnish sermons to be read on the
Lord's day, in the lonely place of our valleys and mountains,
where there is no pastor or evangelist to open hit month
and show the way of salvation; and into the crowded vil
lage of miners, farmers, and travelers, where as yet there
is no house of worship, we desire to send the EXPOSITOR, to
open to them the RcriptaresAnd preadi unto them Jesus.
It he well known that a large number of the half million of
souls that are on this coast do not attend any church or
meeting-house; many thousands of them never hear a
sermon preached from year to year. We would furnish
them with such reading as would remind them of their
early training—the home of their youth—and cause them
to seek and serve the. God of their fathers, with a perfect
heart and a willing mind. We hope to embody in our
pages sterling truths• ' truths calculated ,to enlighten the
mind, elevate the heart, and purify the affections- tenths
drawn chiefly from the Word of God, and presented in 's
plain, clear and forcible style, that they may be suitable
for all classes, and be read by all the members of a family.
We hope to make the EXPOSITOa a missionary, e that may!
preach even where the colporteur and the evangelist do
not go.
Our own time and brain-toltare cheerfully given to the
work, for. Vo sake of trying to preach in this way, from
the Press, especially to those who are not within the sound
of the voice of the living preacher. The editor and pub
lisher do not propose to make money by the work. They
desire only snob aid from their fellow-citizens as will meet
the expenses of publication. Not one dollar of the sub.
scriptione will be appropriated to the editor's private use.
All that is eubseribed,beyond the actual:coat, will be spent
in extending the circulation of the work among our
miner., isattle•drivers, farmers, sailors and travelers. The
EXPOSITOR will be issued every month, at three dollars per
annum, in advance. It will make an octavo volume of over
six bandred pages. It le very neatly printed, and on good .
paper. The postage prepaid to any part of the United
States is ona ima m. for each number. Gold dollars, or three.
dollar pieces, or drafts on the Ban Francisco Express Com
panies, can. be sent. at our risk, by mail. Four numbers
have. been leaned. The work can be furnished to subscribers
from the beginning.
To my friends and the Christians of." the blessed , old
States," I would say, that though California is making
them rich, we are poor,and in building up Christian institn.
Gone, we need not only your prayers and sympathy, but we
need your contribution!. As , a missionary agency, it is
difficult to, see how you can do as much by three dollars in
any other way, as you can do by subscribing for this work.
By means of the Post Office, you can gond it to preach to
thousands, that have been taught, to read, but•do not attend
church, and indeed have , none to go to.
.IF;`Ministers, elders , chbrch officers and others, who are
friendly, to . thisaw,ork,, are - Inv i ted,to act. as. agents, in pry .
curing subscribers. A liberal commission wilt be allowed.
Life is short The night eometh soon, when no man can
work. Let us work while the day lasts. Will you help?

DR. R. A. WILSON'S PILLS,
Having retired from the practice of medicine, " ma
permitted to say that , it has fallen to the l o t or ho t s I t
persons to have enjoyed so liberal or large nt ll,Yer
obstetrical practice as my own has been for the last
or forty..yeare.
The experience of that long period of active lire and ,
fact fir my having been twice, since 1830, associated ,
Dr. Wilma," in the practice of medicine, (in bot h
period of thre years,' enables me to judge fully or the ath
of his pills.
ID E d
8o convenient, so efficient, and yet so safe, did
these pills, that for the list Bye years in p matiet f ew , "se
cure of chronic diseases of whatever name, ens the
females in particular, I have need more of th c ,,, l th
e "... el
other medicines. Like every other medicine, th ee ,"
fail in some instances, but In my hands there bits b e ; n ra ,°" l
disappointment and m f
ore satisactionll othera—its
e l in the admi n i nt ,
of t his c
one remedy than of a ll
sometimes quite astonishing me. teti,
If my patient required a safe aperient medicine, pith
before or after parturition, the Wilson's PM' were ice

If palpitation, headache, flushed countenance, or
difficulties indicating a disturbance of the CirelliakryGtl7:4l.

the Wilson's Pills were just the thing I wanted. /..",
Thus, without respect to the name adisease migh t h e
to wear at the time I have had it under treatment, par se
far indications or moon, ptoms arising were eterairOls
promptly and most happidy met by the Wilson's pi lls
That so, great a number of diseases, and mo rn .,
apparentlY opposite ones, In which I have used there „ i d
should. be cured mare readily by then. than by any 02 -,
remedy, may stand meant strange and c ontradictory, b,",
why it is so, is as clear to my mind as that a greet a l
persons shonld become thirsty from as many dif er 4 7,

blesziege, water, to quench their thirst of ill

Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE:
Symitoms of a Discased Liver.
DM:kin the right side, under _ the edge of
, the ribs, increase on pressure; sometimes
the pain is in the le ft side; th patient is
rarely to he on the left side; sometimes
.
the pain is felt under the shoulder blade,
and it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for a
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is
affected with loss of:appetite and sickness,
the bowels in general are costive, sometimes
alternative with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation, in the back part. There is gene
rally a considerable loss of memory, accom
panied with a painful sensation of having
left 'undone something which ought to have
been done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient complains
of weariness and debilityi he is easily startled,
his feet are cold, or burning; and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of , the skin;
his spirits are low . ; and although he is satis
fied that exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every
remedy. Several, of the above
symptoms
attend the disease, but cases have occurred
where' few of them existed, yet examination
of the body, after - death has shown the
uvatc to have been extensively deranged.
