NT A. B. STUART.
Alas, my brother, art thou dead
And has thy gentle spirit fled ?
Wilt thou no more to earth return,
TO soothe those hearts that sadly mourn?
Blow gently, winds, ah, gently blow,
Above the spot where he lies low;
The day now moulders 'nesth the sod,
The spirit rests, we trust, with God.
Then cease, fond parents, cease to mourn
The loved one from your bosoms torn;
Thou weep not, brothers, sisters dear,
Lo,.star•eyed Faith is drawing near•
Suppress, suppress each rising sigh,
She points to radiant scenes on high,
Where death ne'er hurls hie cruel dart,
Nor sorrow swells the aching heart.
Behold him there, in realms above,
Where all is joy, and peace, and love;
From crystal founts he drinks of, joy,
Immortal, pure, without alloy.
And soon you 'll meet him at the throne,
Where mournful partings are unknown,
And hymn your blessed lievionee praise,
With engelettlitirps, in serapleirlays.

A Voice from South-Eastern Kansitei
MESSRS. EDITORS :—I have perused with
deep interest, various accounts of the doings
of Presbyterians in different'portione of the
world, both Emit and West, North and .
South, and also in the Northern and middle
portions of Kansas; but have beard nothing
scarcely with respect to Southern Kansas.
I desire, therefore, (through- your wide cir 7,
(misting columns,) to direct attention to this
region. The idea will naturally arise in the
mind of the public in geIIOVIII, that there is.
but little doing in the cause , of religion in,
this region, and that it is hardly safe to
emigrate to this portion of the Territory;
especially to the South-Eastern portion,
where dayhookingism and Borderrnifianiam
have been so rampant. Some may imagine
that these things are still 'serried on •to some
extent. Bat this is , a mistake; Jayhook
ingiam and Bordtsruffisnisin are among.the
things that were; the remembrance of
which fills the mind of the great majority
with deep regret, and are doomed 'to be
transmitted to posterity as a dark blot on
the page of history. God grant that- a
scene so horrible may never, again be- trans
acted in any land, much less beneath the
very shadow of the stars and stripes of this
glorious Republic. Most sickening, heart
rending scenes have been transacted, , more
like the works of demons than of men.
But let us forget the past, sod look to the
future prospects of this far:famed Territory
in general, and of Southern and South-
Eastern Kansas in particular. Do not
think that the people of this region. have
been sinners above all others. The evil has
not been (maned to place.- True, this
region has shared largely in the general ex
citement, but a spirit of reconciliation
seems to be fast gaining etnength r and the
conservative principle upon which the Pres
byterian Church operates, seems to be the
principle which is destined to enceeed.
The Presbyterian Church (Old Schoold is
generally held in high repute. Even by
those who cannot subscribe to her forms and .
doctrines. Other denominations are making
strong efforts, but do not seem to succeed to
any considerable extent. The part which
their leaders have taken in the —past,.
seems to have prejudiced the minds' of
the people against them, (with a fewe xoep
dons ;) sod although the prospects for our
denomination are not so flattering as we
could desire, yet there is reason for encour
agement. Presbyterian communities are
being collected at different points through
out this region, some of which we may
here briefly mention, viz.: Mound City,
Monaca, Paris, and Twin Springs, all
in Linn County; Fort Scott, in Bourbon
-County ; Garnett, in Anderson County ; and
Carlisle, in Allen County, &c. I have
traveled over a good deal of the Territory,
and am satisfied that this—iis.,,equal o if not
superior to any other portion of Kansas,
taking into consideration. climate, soil,
wood, water, atone, stone coal, and also fruit,
mineral, and Railroad prospects, &0., &e.
This community is fast filling up with
moral, respectable, and enterprising citizens.
Mound City is in a delightful location, one
or two years old, and has now about fifty
respectable houses, and others 'in a course
of completion, mill privileges, &o. In this
place, a Presbyterian church was organized,
on Friday, the 28th of Oct.,. 1859, (under
favorable auspices,) by Rev. Rankin, D.D.,
(missionary to Kansas.) The sacrament of
the Lord's Supper was administered•on Sab
bath following, in the upper story of the
Academy at Monaca, about two miles dis
tant from here, where a very pleasant and
refreshing, Reason was enjoyed. In a few
days ,we expect an organization' to be coin
pletetfat the Twin Springs.
Persons emigrating to Kansas, (especially
Presbyterians,) would do well to direct their
course to some one of the above mentioned
points. A great portion of the land is taken
and settled in this region, but , claims can be
boughfat reasonable rates, and emigrants
may do as well,or , better to,purohawhan to
take, where isind\iii , yeti:VALOtltit. the
above liints,\'not-:only: , fee the lentfit.cpC
emigrants, 4tit':;also for the'-beeiefii'-• of:
those who are. there, `and may hie access
to the Banner and Advocate, but 'have not
been informed with respect to _the Presby
terian cause in this region. You may, per
haps, think it strange, but it is nevertheless
true, (as we have ascertained in different
instances,) that here are Presbyterians in
this region, some of whom have 'been here
three or four years; and have not known,
until recently, anything about the Church
in Kansas, or their neighbor Presbyterians,
although only - separated by a few miles.
There may be others still who are not pro
perly informed in these matters, who are
substantial and true, (Old School,) but are
liable (as some have been,) to be imposed
on by spurious productions in the garb' of
Presbyterianism and other isms. Any far-,
Cher information that may be desired, with
respect to these or other matters, I am
ready to give to the extent of my ability
Now seems to be a favorable time to lay out
your means' to advantage here, and 'Rake
good and comfortable homes. Come' one,
come all, who desire; there is still room.
But do not come expecting to find every
thing to your mind. Such an expectation
would be unreasonable. Very much is yet
to be done here, and we need persons who
"have a mind to work."

Predicting the Weather.
Professor Henry, at the late Scientific
Association, gave an account of the , metbod
pursued each day at the .Sreithioniaii Insti
tute to record and predict the weather.
They have a map of the United States hung
upon a board, with pins stuck through at
the points where the observers of the insti
tute are stationed. The institute has daily
reports by telegraph from many of these
points. Each morning an assistant hangs a
cord on the pins to indicate the state of the
weather—black if raining, green if snowing,
brown if cloudy, and white if fair. All
storms travel East, and thus they are enabled
to predict with great certainty -the condition
of the weather twelve hours in advance.

" Beulah" is an orphan, possessed of but few of

by philosophy "falsely so-called,". but who is at
length brought to a saving =knowledge of ". the
truth as it is in Jana." In itiessential Part the
book is, no doubt, a veritable soul-history of the
author, and is • consequently invested with sav

and retains its grasp to the end. Mrs. Stowe
never wrote any thing that at all approaches it in
depth.olf sentiment, and breadth of vision. No=

Little Abby's Hymn Book.
"0, Emma ' I am so glad to see you,"
said little Abby White, as she-hastened to .
open her mother's humble cottage gate, and
admit her young friend. "just clime in
and see what a nice present our- minister
gave me this afternoon. He brought me
this beautiful new hymn book. Isn't he too
good; Edina
" What a pretty book it is, Abby.. All
bound in purple morocco, isn't it? Mine
has just a plain Meek cover."
" But the sweet hymns are just the same,
Emma. Oh , how much I love them. I
have wanted so long to own a hymn book,
and saved up my pennies a good many times,
thinking I might perhaps getenough to buy
one some day. But when we had our little
contribution at Sabbath School for the poor
heathen, I felt so bar* I could not help
giving them away. Now jig see how kind
the Lord is to me, Emma. • He his given
me this handsome book a great deal sooner
than I could have bought one."
"'Father says it is always safe to lend to
the Lord, Abby. He always returns to us
great deal more'than we gave. him."
"Now I will tell you what I mean to do,"
said Abby. " This is the ninth of April,
and I will try and learn a whole hymn every
day this month, commenoing to-morro w. I
feel sure I can if I try, and mother says if
I do not getlime through the day, I may sit
up half an hour later at night if I wish.
Just thilk, that will make .me twenty pre
()low hymns, all my own, and I can say them
over to myself if I am sick, or when I am
helping my mother, just- as well as if I read
them. They always make me so happy."
" Why, Abby, I am half a mind to learn
- the, twenty- hymns with you; I have time
...sr• , :e, or 0..
enough if I .could only persevere in any
thing." said the little girl thoughtfully.
" How I wish you would—you could run
in a few minutes every day.at. !sunset, and
we could say them over to each other. That
wouldlelp us both. Our good minister said
when he went away, 'Learn. as many 'of the
sweet hymns as you can, Abby, now white
you area little girl.'"
" Yes, we will learn our hymns together,"
said Emma. 44 Wherathall we begin?"
. "Mother thinks it would be a good plan
to select them on different subjects, begin
ning as the hymn book does, with one about
God, and then one .about the Soriptures f and
so on. , will learn a verse at a time, when
,I get a few spare minutes through the day,
and say it over as I go about my work."
The Hale girls parted very happy over
their new project of self—improvement.
They steadily persevered, and when May
day mune, they had twenty hymns all laid
away in their memories, ready for use on any.
occasion. It became easier to learn 'the
verses every day, and. they persevered after
the time had set expired, and-at length the
hymn. book ,became _as familiar to them as .

Agritultural.
Infiurnee of .Rural Life.
The following . ..just and 'ekiquent remarks
aret from the address of Henry' Ditrant,
tett:, of. Boston, delivered before the Nor
folk County Agricultural Society, Sept.-29,
1859. Mr.'D. eaid c
Hp did not'come here to attempt any in:
streetion ,agriculture. But there wair a
common ground where we could all meet
and learn something from 'each other.
Other lections,might be learned in the green
fields' than the best mode of raising 'crops.
Education in thewidest sense was the great
end and mystery of life. We were here to
unfold and educate ourselves- , ..t0 find the
development of heart as well as of brainof
the affections 'and the moral nature. In the
country might such an •education be the
most usefully obtained.
Ile first spoke the democratic aspectef
rural life, of the happiness, the necessity,
the dignity of labor, and its Tendency ; to
elevate the mind as • well as to secure corn
petence. Labor was the law of our being.
Its results were fixed. in the Almighty de'
orgies: Sanrisir and sunset, Winter and
Summer,
were not more sure than there
sults which waited: upon the foOtsteps of
strong endeavor. The law of "no work,
no wages," should be to us a source of deep•
est gratitude. The; Nei England fainter
should , be peouliailk:ginteful for the-lard
soil which he finds in this section of the

manhood.
Rural life had its leasontifor the heart and.

bore;' in the' eountry, though half a mile
apart, men were neighbors. Country life
taught ' , men; the value: of sympathy arid of
society: It r wave woman her true sphere,
tooots no 'city homes ever gave.
The country refined-- and elevated. It
taught us on.every hand,' lessons of infinite
good. Scenes of grace and. beauty -spread
themselvesabroad on every'hand. In Rome
stands a great obelisk, brotight long,eguttu
ries ago froui fromx the- center of
mysterious ;ruins; and • men -travel 'thither'
froui every land, and. seek to read the story
of 'the , ancient days, and gather wisdom
from . the Strange ;hieroglyphics inscribed
upon -the column. Yet , all around us. we
had greater mysteries than those of ancient
hieroglyphics or Egyptian ;obelisks. Every
blade of grass-;which. ..raised itselhin- the
breeze was si tower, built story on story with
its foundations deep in the earth, mocking
with its elastic strength and ~ b eauty the poor
imitations of man. It had its origin long.

Watch lianufaoory.
Willis, in his letter describing the Amer -i
inn Watch Manufactory at Waltham, Mass.,
in speaking of the .aetonishing minuteness of
some very essential parts of the watch, says
-in regard to the screws 'used in putting the
watch together i " A. small heap of grains
was shown us,. looking, like iron - filings, or
grains of pepper from a pepper caster—
apparently the mere dustpof the machine
which turned them , out—iatid these, when
examined with a - microscope, were seen to
be perfect screws, each to. be driven to its
place with , a•seirew driver. It is Tine of the
statistics of Waltham worth remembering,
that a single pound of steel, costing' but fifty
cents; is thus manufactured into one hull-
Ored thousand, screws, which' are worth
.S 1,100."
Married Life:
The affection thatlinkslogether man and
wife, is a far holier passiCin than the (*Atha
skim of young love. It may want its got..
geousness—it may want its imaginative
character, but, it is far richer in holy and
trusting attributes. Talk not to us of the
absence of kove in .wedlook . What! because
a man has ceased to " sigh like A. furnace,"
are we- to believe that ,the• fire is extinct .?
No, it. with a steady and deep flame,
shedding a. tienign influenaewpon existence,
a million times more. precious and. delightful
than the told ••dreams of philosophy.
A Remarkable' Statement.
Professor 0. M. Mitchel delivered, re
cently, in Philadelphia, one of his splendid:
astronomical lectures. The following state
meat of , a remarkable fact is given in a re
pbrt of the 'Attire
ark •had not long since met, in the city
of St. Louie, a, man of great scientific
attainments, who, for forty years, has been
engaged in Egypt in deciphering the hiero
glyphics of the ancients. This gentleman
bad stated to him that he bad lately unrav
'ailed the inscriptions upon the coffin of a
mummy now in the London Museum and
that in which,'by the aid of 'previous Aser
vatiqns, he had discovered the key to all the
astronomical knowledge 'of thS Egyptians.
Thai sodiaoovith =the exaet•ipoeitto . n , of the
planets, which was delineated on this coffin,
and the date to which they pointed was the
autumnal equinox in the year 1722, before
Christ, or nearly thirty-six hundred years
ago. Professor Mitchel - employed his assist
ants to ascertain the exact positions of the
heayenly bodies belonging to our solar sys
tem ion the equinox' of that year, (1722 B.
C.) and sent. him a correct diagram of, them,
without having communicated his object in
doing so. In compliance with this the cal
culations were made, and to his atoniehment,
on comparing the result with the statements
of his scientific friend already referred to,
it was found that, on the 7th of October,
1722.8.. C., the moon and planets had mu
pied the. , exaot points in the heayens marked
upon,the coffin in the London Museum."

, THE PACIFIC ffiMeOill'eoll.
The power of the Press is beyond all calculation. 'eternity
only eawreveal its influence upon mankind. All , secta and
denominations, all lichee's, creeds, and parties,,-understand
the necessity of using .the Press to, propagate Ind defend
their optnioes and measures. They all have 'their' ermine,
from - the daily sheet to the etatelyquarterly.
It is not our wish, however, to -interfere -by this publics-
tion with any other, but, to supply what seems to us to, be
a special and pressing want on this coast. It is beeeyed
there is no portion of our whole continent; Where es , work
of .thhe kind is so much :needed fie .in California. Its pro
portion to the number , of inhabitant!, 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 theeils ).
eition of God's • Word, and the preaching of the Gospel,
according to the Standardrof our Church.. We wish to do
by the-Press, for our fellow-titisens, just what -we do for
Calvary congregation every Sabbath ; that is, to expound,
explain and 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 his month
,and show the way of salvation; and" -into the crowded vil
, lege of Miners, farmers, and travelers, where , as yet there
is no, house of worship, we desire to send the Enreffiloll, to
open to them , the Scriptures, and .preach unto them Jeans.
It :is well known that a large number Of the half million of
souls that are' on'thie eoastp - de not attend -any elmeelf or
meeting-house; .anany thousands .of -them never -hear a
sermon preached from year to
,year: We would furnish
=them with such reeding as would remind them' of their
earlytmlning---thehome 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; truths
drawn chiefly .from -the Word-of .God, .and-preeeef ' ted in a
plain, clear and forcible style,..that they may be suitable
for all classes; and he read by all the'mombers of a family.
We hope to make the exreernut a raisidonary; that-mayl
preach even where the , colporteur and the evangelist do
not go.
Our own time and brain-toil are cheerfully given to the
workofor the sake' of:trying' tft preach hi this way, from
the?Preas, especially to thosewho aremot within rhelmund -
of the voice of the living ..preaclier. , The editor and pub-

All that is subscribed - beyond the actual cost, will be spent
in extending the • circulation of the work among our
miners, cattleedrivers, farmers,- rollers and travelers. The
lexposrma will be issued every month, at, three dollars per,

To my friends and the Christiana of "the blessed old
States," I would say, that though . California is making
them rich, we are poor,and in building up Christian institu
tions, we need not only your prayers and sympathy, but we
need your contributione. 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 Ads work.
By means of the Poet OffiCe, yin can send it to preach to
thousands, that have been taught to read, but do not attend
church, and indeed have none to go to.
Stir Ministers, elders, church officers and others, who are
friendly to this work, are invited to aft as agents in pro-
boring subscribers. A liberal commission will be allowed.

DR. R. A. WILSON'S PILLS.
Having retired from the practice of medicine, I may be
Permitted to say that it him fallen to the lot of but few
persons to have enjoyed so liberal or large a share of
obstetrical practice as my own has been for the but thirty
or forty years.
The experience of that long period'of active life, Cud the
feet of my having been twiee, duce 1880, associated with
Dr. It. A. Wilson, in the practice of medicine, (In both, •
1 period of five years,) enables we to judge rally of the merits
of his pills.
Bo convenient, so efficient, and yet so safe', did I esteem
these pills, that for the last live years in practice, for the
cure of chronic diseases of whatever name. and those of
females in pardeular, I hare need more of them than all
other medicines. Like every other medicine, these must
fail in some instances, but in my bands there has been -less
disappointment and more satisfaction in the administration
of this one remedy than of all others—its good effects
some times quite astonishing me.
If my patient required a safe aperient medicine, either
before or after parturition, the Wilson's Pills were just the
thing I wanted.
If a dyspeptic acid condition of the stomach; combined
with costiveness, or inactivity of the liver constituted the
disease of my patient, the pi ll s were lust the thing I
wanted.
If .I treated a cane requiring an emmenagogne„. the Wa.
eon's Pills were just the thing I wanted.
If palpitation, headache, flushed countenance, or other
difficulties indicating e, dlerturbanoe of the circulatory and
secretory systems, annoyed my patient at the turn of life,
the Wilson's Pills - were just the thing I wanted.
Thus, without respect to.the name a disease might happen
to wear at the time I have had it under treatment, paraso l .
ler indications or symptoms arising were always most
promptly and most happily met by the Wilson's Pills.
That so great a number of diseases, and sometimes
apparently opposite ones, in which I have need those pills,
should be cured more readily by them than by any other
remedy, may at first seem strange and contradictory, but
why it ie eo, le as clear to my mind as that a greet many
persOns should become thirsty from as many different
causer ^and yet all requirethat common arid greatest of ail
blessings, water, to quench their thirst.
in conclusion, it is due the reputation of medicine and
the public to say, decidedly and unconditionally, that the
Wilson's Pills' are the only combination ' , hare ems:eruct:
with in my long course of practice that really possess •any
thing curative or specific for sick-headache.
Yours, le., DR. MILO 'ADAMS.
Wrison's Elms.—lt will' be seen by our ,adiertieing
GAIIM7IS rthat the Dills 'have a reconunenditlon more
valuable than any which a common nostrum could ever
attain. Dr. Adams, who attests these, is a gentleman well
ktioirnto many of our citizens: He is a .Physition . of good
repute, and has tilled various public elation with credit.--
