Its anguish at thy feet;
It groans against the weight of sin,

There is much in the work before us that will
prove attractive to those who delight in musk
chiefly as an art. Aside from all sacred associa
tions,
it is valuable for its historical information
respecting music, musical instruments and enter
tainments not only among the Hebrews, but also
among the Babylonians, Chaldteans, Assyrians, ;
Byptians, and other ancient nations.. To those •
whose interest in the music of the Bible is inten
silledtand hallowed by religious considerations,
Mr. Hutchinson'p work will be in a greatly en
hanced degree acceptable. The -characteristics
of Hebrew poetry are herein happily unfolded,
anti all the passages of Scripture which relate to
music are so eluOidated byj udieious explanations,
that the poetical portions of the Sacred Word
shine forth with increased beauty and lustre
The introductory remarks to the books of
SoFipture from which extracts are taken, convey
much important information respecting their gen
eral soope and , character. The numerous picto
rial illustrationa add to the value of the work, and
its 'copious index' renders it especially service
able as`a book of reference.

This attractive volume is especially adapted to
the circumstances of young Christians, though it
may be read with advantage by all. It consists
of three choiccstories, to which the title 4 , pia

In the first of these stories, the incompatibility
of a life of worldly gaiety with spiritual enjoy
ment and gmtiin grace, is forcibly and beau
tifully illustrated. The second inculcates the
important, leopon that no earthly friends, how
ever near, should usurp in our hearts that chief
place of affection which belongs alone to God.
In " .Fanny Ellesmere's Winter in the City "—the

Mother, mother, do come here just as
quick as you can, and get this hateful old
knot out for me."
Freddy's mother went to . the door and
said, in a quieting tone, " I'd be glad to do
it for you, my son, but I think it better for
you to do it yourself; you'd alwiys have
plenty of time to get ready for breakfast,
without jerking 'your shoe-string into a
knot, if you'd get up when I call you."
"But I'm sleepy, and I can't!'
That's a foolish excuse, Freddy. You
know I never call you while you are sleepy,
for I wan't you to. sleep as long as you can;
so I always wait until you are wide awake."
" But this is a hateful old knot, and the
breakfast bell will ring in a minute, and I
can't wait to get it out."
"Never mind the breakfast bell this
morning," said his mother, in her kind,
quiet way. " You shall have your break
fast kept warm for you, but you must get
this knot out yourself, if it takes you an
hour."
"I can't wait to get it out, said. Freddy
again; "I want to eat with the rest.
There, now, the bell rings, and bet-any
thing Susan knew my shoe-string w'as in a
hard knot, and rung it earlier than usual
just to plague me. Susan is a hateful girl ;
she's hatefuler than this knot, and I 'll tell
her so."
" I can't 'listen to you any longer," said
his iuother, " and I do n't want to talk with
you while you are so- angry. As soon as
you are dressed, and feel 'pleasantly again,
you can-come to breakfast.'
It took Freddy some time to untie his
shoe-string and get dressed, and get his face
smoothed out; but before we had finished
breakfast, he made his appearance. '
I did n't really look at him; I only
glanced at him, for I knew that when a boy
had been acting badly, and felt ashamed of
it, he did n't like to be, stared at. Freddy
ate his breakfast in silence, and no notice
was taken of him, or his bad behavior.
In the course of the morning I proposed
going out to walk; for I was a stranger,
and wanted to see the town.
" You can't find your way about alone,"
said Freddy, "-for you've never been here
before. I'll go with you, if you want me
to ; I can show you everything, for I've
been everywhere, and seen everything my
self."
Freddy was in his pleasantest mood, and
I gladly accepted him as a guide, and I
found him just the guide I wanted, and
very good company too.
After showing me all the public build
ings and the most beautiful residences in
town, he turned into a quiet, shady street.
" This street," said he, "mall my street,
for I,always come here and walk all alone
by myself, when I get tired."
" I suppose," said I, " that you mean
when you get tired of hard knots."
Freddy laughed a little, and put his
hand into his pockets, and did n't say
much, until I said a little more,and drew
him out; -and then he told me what. hard
work it was to -untie a'hard knot, and how
he'd rather go barefooted' than have so
much trouble with his shoe-strings, and
how his patience was tried. -
" Now, Freddy," I said, " I want to give
you a little advice. I'm not a very old
woman, but then, you know, I 'm grown up,
and you are not; and I, of course know a
great deal that you don't. I really- think,
Freddy, that those hard knots are worth "'.a'
' great deal to you."
I Freddy's eyes suddenly opened very wide,
and he looked as if he wanted to say,
" What can the , woman mean ?"
• " Yes, I really think so," said I. " Those
hard knots are worth everything to you.
You 'll never make a man, unless you have
phtierice among your virtues. Yon 'll never
be good, for much without patience, and
your patience will never be good for much
unless it is, tried."
"Well, do n't you like to have things go
right- along smooth ?" said Freddy, looking
at me earnestly. "It 'most kills me to
have my shoe-strings get into a hard knot,
and it always seems to me I can 't stand it
another minute. But I have to; for . my
mother won't ever let me off. She always
sticks me right to it."
" And you think she does right, do n't
you ?"
"Yes, I guess so," said Freddy, good-na
turedly; " but it's awful hard work to
stand it." ,
" I've no doubt of it, 'Freddy," said I,
"for I feel pretty badly myself; but just
remember that people who try to live in
this world without patience have a very
hard time of it. Shoe-strings will get into
a knot sometimes, even when we get up
very early in the morning, and have plenty
of time to get ready for breakfast.
"-And' all along thitingli the day, and all'
along through our lives, we'll find hard
knots to be untied, and these knots won't
always be in shoe-strings, either. We 'll
find them everywhere, .ins almost every
thing; and if we jerk and twitch and pull,
and scowl , up our faces, and get out,,,
breath in a hurry, it will only make bad
worse, and everything will go wrong as
long as we live. Now, Freddy, whenever
you have-a hard knot to untie, just say to
youraelf, have patience, Freddy Esmond,
have patience:"" ' -
I well remember the bright. October
morning. It was a loug, long while ago,
but even now I can see the sunbeams as
they glinted through the trees silvered with
white frost, and hear the crisp of the foot
as it trod on the half-frozen grass. I was
a student, then, lithe and elastic, and the
foot seemed to lift itself up from the ground,
and the fresh, pure air Seemed to thrill the
nerves with almost a burden of life. It was
just over the hill, down in old Mr. Foster's
lot, where I heard a terrible screaming of
birds. Cats could not have awakened more
echoes in the little grove'of walnuts. Run
,ning was then a luxury, and I indulged
the luxury without restraint. On reaching,
the place of the noise I saw two birds ap
parently tied together, .and one trying to
fly. and the other to resist him.
They were a small, •hungry pigeon hawk
and a large blue jay. They had clinched
their feet and claws So closely together,
and had them so entangled, that they
neither would nor could separate. The
hawk was trying to carry off, the jay, and
the jay was refusing to be carried off. The
result was,"they flew about as high as my
shoulders, and I caught them both. It was'
a long time before I could separate them so
as to hold one in each 'hand. I then began
to study their dispositions. The hawk was
very small, but• beautifully proportioned,
--with a keen, calm,' 'grey eye. After Ike
found himself a captive, he was cool and
'apparently unconeerned. Hs neither 'Rut
rrtered, nor fought; nor bit, nor complained,
nor asked any favors. Re seemed to, feel

be treated as one. The jay, on the other
hand, would flutter, and yell, and twist, and
bite, and try to get aWay. His screeching
was incessant. He was dressed in an ultra
marine coat; spo,ited vest, yellow stockings,
and a blue crown on his head. He was a
beautiful fellow, and everything about him
showed that he was a real dandy. But
what a din he made ! He acted as if every
body wanted to rob and murder'him !
" Well, Mr. Hawk, what does all this
mean ?"
" Nothing, sir, only I wanted a little
breakfast, and was just about- to eat that
dandy, when his cowardly scream's brought
you to his rescue.?
" What say you, Mr. Jay—why were
you so unwilling to be eaten up'? It would
save you from a hard Winter.'
" Yak yah ! I did n't want to, be eaten
up. He was going to spoil my clothes, and
pull off my ruff from my neck, and tear off
my coat. He would ruin my looks Yah I
yah I don't like him or you either. So
I'll bite you again ! Yah I yah I I wish.
I could bite your finger off!
The hawk looked upon the noisy fellow
with 'a calm, disdainful look, as much as 10 ,
Pay,'`" You are a contemptible Sallow; and
hardly fit for my breakfast'
So I carried my two captives back to the
Seminary, and my fellow-students BOOR
gathered around to see what was going.on
—for all the while the jay kept up the most
hideous screaming: In the midst of all, the
hawk sat silent and calm, not manifesting
the least fear or inxiety.

"Let him go—he's too mean to keep or

Again I opened my hand, and he stopped
to bite and yell once more, and then went
off screaming and screeching, as if .14 sav
ing him from the hawk rhad done him an
outrageous. wreng. I have never seen
either of them since. But I have not for
gotten the lessons they taught me:
I. That patience when in trouble, core

2. That good behaviour always gains

manners. •
3. That no gaudiness of dress; and no
beauty of person, can make people love us,

and fumed, and demanded the aid of all.—

The early history of the American. Con

The inquisitive gather a few facts; the
fanciful make conjectilies. And the con

however, of much interest, were noted.
The Christian World for January thus

Peru under the Incas was vastly greater
in extent of territory than the =present re:

that it :spread from the shorca of the Pa
cific quite beyond the Andes. "
When invaded by Pizarro, 1524, the Pe- ,
ruvians were found possessed of a degree
of comfort, culture and orderly 'govern
ment which we,
at this day, contemplate,
with amazement, and Call, with diffiattlfy;
even credit. Indeed we should look upon
the accounts of the earlier hiatoriens as
largely fanciful, were they not corroborated

Their coast border was a rainless, sandy
tract, with an :_average breadth! of thirty

secured by canals and subterraneous segue

a league, all along the route. Its breadth
scarcely exceeding twenty feet. It was
built or heavy flags of freestone, and, in
some parts, at least, covered with a bitu
minous cement, which time has made har

where the ravines have been filled up with
masonry, the mountain torrents, wearing on
it for ages, have gradually eaten a-way
through the base and left the superincum

Humboldt says : ",The great road of Incas
was one of the greatest and most useful
works ever executed by man." The fibres
of the maguey, the, tough osier of the
country—twisted ipto cables as thick as a
man's body, furnishes the material of their
bridges. Several of these great cables,
bound together and strongly fastened at the
ends, formed the bridge which was covered
with wood and guarded on each edge by a
railing. Some ,or.these bridges spanned
chasms two hundred feet broad, covering a
frightful abyss wherp dark waters foamed
and tumbleir . thany fathoms below.
The streams on the , coast road, being
broad and trangnil, *ere crossed on rafts,
-using sails—Lthe only instance of their use
known anfong'the Ameriban Indians. All
along - these highwaye, at distances of ten or
twelve miles;' were erected caraVansaries,

used, yet
_the stones,were so nicety:fitted to

were based on their appea'rance only. But
in the circulars for October, inquiries of
their amounts were made, as compared
with the crop of 1862, and, upon the re
turns to the circulars, tables of these crops
and of tobacco were made. The amounts
of the estimates for September and Octo
ber are as follows : Estimates for September
—Corn, 449,163,894; Buckwheat, 17,-
193,232; Potatoes, 90,870,035; Tobacco,
258,462;413. Estimates for Ootober---
Coro, 452,446,128; Buckwheat, 15,821,-
305 ; Potatoes, 101,457,1;
44 Tobacco,
267,302,770.
These estimates exhibit a remarkably
close approximation, and s►eak well for the
system adopted by the Department to ascer
tain the amounts annually of the leading
commercial crops.
The amounts of these crops for 1862 are
as follows : 1862—Corn, 586,704474 ;
Buckwheat, 18,722,995; .Potatoes, 114,-
533,118 ; Tobaeco, 208;807,078.
Sorghum, MOlasses.—The five principal
States of the West. for' the production of
Sorghum Molasses, are Missouri, lowa,
Illinois, - Indiana, and Ohio 'Their esti
mate production, last year, was 10,203,728
gallens. This year, only 6,970,882ga110n5;
a decrease of nearly three arid a quarter
millions of gallons. The amount of ground
planted wak ,mue.h. greater than . in`-1862,
but the ft:oat destroyed the yield.
'The annual consumption of molasses and
sugar, prior to the war, was about 45,000,-
000 gallons of molasses, and about 1,000,-
000,000 pounds of sugar; the amount per
each inhabitant, slaves excluded, being 39
pounds. Tlte increase of the consumption
of sugar in the United States since 1840,
was 227 per cent., while the increase of
population was 63 per cent. The Louisi
ana cane sugar, this year, will not, it is sup
posed, exceed 30,000. to" 50,000 hogsheads,
and hence the country must rely on heavy
importations to supply its wants. New
nodes, to supply its own sugar and molasses,
must be adopted by the country, and hence
the monthly report for October very prop
erly directs public attention to the great
importance of the first experiment now
making to grow the sugar beet and to man
ufacture sugar from it.
'The Fall Crops for 1864.—The wheat,
rye, and barley crops, just sown, are full
average crops, both..in amount and &near
aucc. The Fall weather has been highly
favorable to them, and — the correspondents
of the Department speak of tkem most
encouragingly.
The Number and Condition of the Fat
toning Hogs and Cattle.—The hog cholera
scarcely exists in the Eastern and Middle
States; but in Indiana and Illinois it pre
vails in so many counties, that there is'
great danger of it spreading among the
fattening hogs. In. these States a large
number of hogs have died of, this disease
dniing the Suinmer and Fall.
The number of hogs in the great feed
ing States of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and
Illinois, is two-tenths less "than last year,
causing a reduction in the number.fatteied
in these Stateil of 806,139. Their condi
tion in these State,s is still lower, being.: 30
per cent. below a general average. It is
believed that but few hogs will be suffi
ciently fattened, to make mess pork or to
produce a supply of lard.
The exports 'of-animal' Troductiorig 'of
the United States are reported to be as fol
lows : 1860, 24,606,798 Bs.; 1861, 27,715,-
392 ; 1862, 42,288,906. The amount of
Pork which entered into the commerce of
the country,in 1860, was about 323,358,-
800 of which there was exported in
"the form of bacon, lard and barrelled pork,
86,909,005 Mt; leaving for doixiestia, con
sumption, 236,449,795 Ths,; "Of which
the Southern States took 184,386,409 5.5.;
leaving for the consumption of the Eastern
and Middle states, 52,063,386 lbs.
The cessation of commercial intercourse.
between the; loyal and disloyal States, cut
.'off the Southern consumption , of pork, and
so redueed prices in 18112, that the foreign
demand increased in that year to 291,086,-
The :value. of the frosted C . O 712 for fatten
ing purposes' is regarded as very' small.
flogs and cattle will grow on it, but
,not
fatten. The amount of old corn is much
reduced by the demand for it during the
Summer by the army. lii Pennsylvania,
Qhio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, 'Mis
souri, and Wisconsin, there is thirty per
cent less. than last year, and twenty per
cent. less in . lowa.- It'is 'fed 'out to stock
in nearly one-half the counties of these
. .
States.
Manurintfor Corn in the Fail.
A correspondent of the. Germantown
Telegrvlt saps : "The best time for mar ;
uwring for corn is in the Fall, from, the
iniddle-to4the- end-of Worember, or at any
time during the Winter, whCri the ground
is bare . ; .but the nearer the Spring the ter
good will come from it. It is a custom
with most:fanners when they clean out the
ntableis in the Winter;th throw the manure
th'e barn-yard to rot; but, this is, a,
waste in three the cattle will
eat ligirOritand itis wasted; second, it
is not as good when rotted as it' was when
taken from the stables, 'and thirdly, the
ground has been without it all Winter, and
it is not as rich as if it had been protected
by the manure.:
Ground will become 'idler br being
covered, even if it, is with brush; and this
is one of the advantages of;putting the ma
nure cin in the'Fall or early in the Winter:
The manure from the stables should, there
.fore,-be-taken immediately to the field -in

two-thirds as heavy a coat as for wheat,

than `fifty per cent - On'the inveatinent, and

FORM OF. A DEVISE OR BEQUEST
TO ANT 07 THE
BOLRDS OF THE PRESIVFERIIII
The State laws direr so much that no one
form will answer in all the States, but in every
case it is essential to giie the RIGHT COR.FORATEI
LOW.
The oldest Board was originally called the
Board of Missions ' but is now incorporated un
der the laws of Pennsylvania under title of
" The Trustees of the Board of Domestic Missions
of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church
in the United States of America."
Of the Board of Education the corporate
name is, gs The Trustees of the Board of Educa
tion of the Presbyterian Church in the United States
of America."
The Board of Foreign. Missions is incorporated
under the laWs of New-York, : under the style of
" The Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyte
rian Church in the. United States of America."
The Board of Publication is incorporated un
der the laws of Pennsylvania under the style of
"The Trustees of the Presbyterian Board of Pub
lication."
The Board of Church Extension of the Gen
eral Assembly is not incorporated, but the fol
lowing form of bequest, it is supposed, would be
valid.
I bequeath to my executors the sum of
dollars, in trust, to pay over the same in
after my decease, to the person who, when the
same shall be payable, shall act as Treasurer of
the Board pf Mira Extension of the Genera As

RESOLUTIONS OF. THE GENERAL ASSEM
BLY IN REGARD TO COLLECTIONS.
WHEREAS, Many of our churches do not con
tribute to our benevolent enterprises, and.where
as, it is desirable to test the power - of, simulta
neous effort ; and' whereas, an emergency has
arisen, requiting the cooperation of all our
churches to save our Boards froth serious eni
barrassment ; therefore,
_Resolved, 1. That.this Assembly earnestly re
quest all our churches that have no fixed times
for the purpose, to take up annual collections as
follows, viz.::
For the BOARD ON DOMESTIC MISSIONS
OIL the FIRST SABBATH : or NOVEMBER.
For the BOARD OF. FOREIGN MISSIONS on

OF PUBLICATION on the Ftn SAMILTIU OP
For the BOARD OF CHURCH EXTENSION
on the FIRST SABBATH OF ITALY.
For the DISABLED MINISTERS' FUND on
the FIRST SABBATH OF'SRPTEMBER.
Resolved, 2..That.vrhen the annual collections
cannot be taken up on-the days above designated,
it be recommended to take them up as soon
thereafter as possible.
THE -HOME AND FOREIGN RECORD

thence be printed only in the octavo, or

those who` annually'bind it in a volume. The
matters it presents have a permanentinteresti•
It is our duty, as Christians, to know what, as a
Church, we are doing now; and, if preserved, it
will be a valuable record of the progress of the
Church to succeeding generations.
The change r presents a favorable
_opportunity,
for pastors and others interested in the welfare
of the people, to make a new effort to. Circulate
the Record among. them. It is now several years
since any Considerable accession has been, made
to the list of subscribers, and it is 'thought that
m many. churches there are numbers recently
added; Who knoW ntithing of the existence , of
this periodical. It is 'hoped that the action of
the Assembly- will meet- the approVal orthe'
Church, which could be shown in no better way
than by a great increase of subscribers.
