\Waidensita Hymn.
The 'people -of wild mountainous countries
Cherish a strong attachment to their native hills.
The Waldenses, when driven from their homes
hyperseestion, sighed and longed for the hour
•of their return. Below we give one of their
beautiful hymns:
VHANICk Bs TO GOD FOR THE IIOUNTAINS
For the strength of the hills we bless thee,
Our God, our fathers' God;
Thou host made thy children mighty,
By the touch of the mountain sod- - ;
Thou bast fix'd our ark of refuge,
Where the spoilers' feet ne'er trod ;
For the strength of the bills wetless thee,
Our God, our fathers' God.
We are watehens of a beacon, •
Whose.light must Dever die;
We're, guardians Of an altar, -
'Midst the silence of the sky;
The rookslield founts of courage,
Struck forticas by thy rod ; ..•
For the strength of hills we bless thee,
Our!aod; our fathers' God,
For the dark resounding caverns,
Where thy still B=lll vooe is heard,
For the strong pines of the forest,
That‘by thy strength are aired;
For the storm, on whose free pinions
Thy spirit walks abroadl
For the strength - of the hills'we bless thee,
Our God, our fathers' God-
The royal eagle darteth
On his'iparry front the heights;
And theitag,that knows nconaster,
&eks . there his wild delights : ; ;
But we, foi thy communion,
Erave.sought the mountain sod; •
For the strength of the hills we bless thee,
Our God, our fathers' God.
The banner of the chieftain
Far, far below us waves;
For the war-horse of the spearsman
Cannot reach our lofty caves;
The dark clouds wrip the threshold
Of Freedom's last abode;
For the strength'of the hills we bless thee,
Our 'God, our fathers' God.
For the shadow of thy presence,
'Round our camp of rock outspread.;
For the stern defiles of battle
'Bearing record of our dead;
For the snows, and for the torrents,
For thefree heart's burrial sod;
For the strength of the hills we bless thee,
Our. God, our fathers' God.
Itt tong,
Boys, You are 'Watched.
Do you •believe this, boys? It is true,
true that you are watched often,•very often
when you think not of it. Perhaps I can
best illustrate this by giving you a story re
lated by a traveller_ in one of the Southern
States.
Among the Irish emigrants who came
to our country more than twenty years ago,
was a lad notthea ottt of his teens. He
was a stranger in strange land, without
friends or helper. In his search for em
ployment he came to the banks of one of
the rivers which 'flow into the Gulf of Mex
ico. Horo he obtained a situation as deck
hand on board of a steamboat: It was hard
work and hard fare. At all hours of the
day and night he was expected to stand
ready to land and receive freight, take in
wood, and feed the 'furnaces. He did his
work faithfully, proving himself sober, ac
tive, and intelligent.
He had been in the boat about a week,
when one dark night a fire was seen, and a
cry 'heard on the banks of the river. The
fire was a signal for the boat to stop.. The
mate, who was then in charge, would not
land, but sent onr young Irishman on shore
in a small boat. He found a planter and
two or three ncgroes standing by the signal
fire. The planter handed him a package,
saying, " Here is thirty-four thOusand dol
lars. Give it to the captain or clerk, and
ask him ,to deposit it for me in the Planter's
Bank as soon as he gets in. Tell him not
to forget, it, as it is to pay a note which falls
due day after to-morrow."
~ The young man put the money in 'his
bosom, aid pushed off for the boat. In the
darkness'he might have gone in another di
rection, and with the money in his posses
sion, a - great fortune for a poor immigrant,
disappeared, never more to be seen in these
parts. Does ill-gotten wealth ever prove a
real blessing? This young man probably
thought not. At all events he had no in
tention of trying it.
On his reaching the deck, the mate de
manded of him what was wanted. The lad
replied simply that it was a message for the
captain, and was roughly ordered to go into
the cabin and deliver it.
Upon entering the cabin he saw the cap
tain surrounded by a jolly group of passen
gers, and very busy with cards and punch.
Under these circumstances he wisely con
cluded that the money would for that night
be safest in his own keeping.:: He retired
from *the cabin unobserved, and stowed
the, package of notes in the bottom of his
clothes-bag. In the morning when the cap
tain was sober, he again visited the cabin,
and delivered the money and message, when
sonuithing like the following conversation
occurred :
" What is all this ? Where did you get
this money ?" . .
" I went ashore in the yawl for it last
night, sir."
" And why did yon not bring it to the
office at once F"
4 i I did, sir; but you and the clerk were
both very busy."
This answer drew forth a hearty laugh
from some of the passengers who had been
engaged in the same business.
" Young man," said the captain, "how
long have you been on this boat ?"
" A week, sir."
"And how much money have you?"
"Five dollars, sir."
Very well. Go to your work."
In three weeks from that time the young
immigrint became second-mate; -in a year
lirst mate,,and.not long aftcr, captain. In
a few*Yearille had a wife and'ohildren, and
owned a. plantation and two or three steam
boats.
Now, was 'it only ti happy fortune, or as
some would say; a lucky chance, which in
one short year raised this young twin. fro
the situation of a deck-band to that of first-.
mate ? Perhaps you will say that a favor
able oireumstanoe introduced him to the no
tics of the captain. That is trite, hit there
was the faithfulness, the honesty, the intel
ligence, 'the tact, to profit by these favora
ble cirorstances. , He did only his duty,
in the simplicity and honesty of his heart,
probably without hope, of reward, or even of
notice. But he was watched. - -His captain•
observed hie eolidiletjr:and when, three
weeks afterwards,
the place of second-mate
was vacant, and he wanted an industrious
and reliable young man to fill it, he offered
the situation to this yo. og immigrant.
This is an'event, not unlike what often
Occurs. A boy is 'industrious, patient, and
persevering. That boy is watched. After
a time some merchant or mechanic is in
want of a boy of that description,
_and he.
thinks he - knows whereto find him. " I
.have watched thatboy," says he to himself,
." and I am confident that he is just what I
want!' The boy gets the offer of this situ
ntion, and gladly and thankfully accepts of
ic. The lazy drone stands by, and..says,
" what a lucky fellow that boy is: What
is the reason no, one wants me?" He too
ha's been watched. That is the reason no
on.e wants him.
Again, a boy is careful, faithful, and ho,p
est. Ile too is watched. By and by sole
one wants a boy whoni he can trust, and he
says, I have taken note of that boy, and
have observed that. he-is uniformly faithful
in all the little things committed to his
care. He, is diligent, careful, and honest,
I will secure his services and will do well
by him." . '
The boy who lives next door, is of a very
different description. He is careless, and
unfaithful, if not positively. dishonest. He
looks on.and wonders. "That is just such
a situation as I have been trying a long
time to find," he says; " what a lucky fel
low that boy is. Something is always turn
ing up for him."
Does this boy reason correctly about 'his
neighbor's good fortune?' -Is-'something
always-turning up for him, nr does . he turn
it up by his diligence, faithfulness, and
honesty? Which is -it, boys?
Be sure that industry, faithfulness, and
honeity will sooner or later find"their re
ward. The reward may seem slow in com-'
ing, but wait for it, work and wait. When
you become met you willlnd that an' hon:
est, 'diligent, and reliable man is always
wanted to fill some useful and respectable
place in . society.
Remember, dear young friends, that you
are watched by those around by those
who may have it in their power to help you
onward and upward. Above all, remember
that you are watched •by the Eye which
never slumbers nor sleeps, by Him who will
-reward each one according to his work . .—

These words reached the ears of Mrs.
Wilson as she came into the parlor one
day.,She found-.,her three children seated
on:te sofa—Anna, the eldest, 'trying "to
amuse her younger brother and sister.
She . had been telling them a story - in
her on wise way, of some good little girl
who.was agreat :help . to her .mother and
was showing the example of this excellent
child for the, benefit-of Ella,, when their
mother came in. •
Too little for Oat ; lar asked Mrs;
Wilson. • ,
" I was telling her," said .A.nua l ". the
story of. Katie Lee, and when I said she
must be good, Arid do as Katie Lee did, she
told me she was too little."
" Little .girls of ~four years, are rather
small," said .Mrs. Wilson, "but my Ella
is n't too little to be good, thope."
"But Katie was older . than 1, I'm
sure," said Ella; " I can't do such things
as she can."
"What things . ?" asked'mamma.
" Why, bring in the milk pitcher; I'm
afraid 'd spill the milk, and then Susan
would say : Oh, you are a plague "
Mrs. Wilson smiled, for little Ella was
called " a plague " very often.
"If:you couldn't bring the milk pitcher,
darling, ybu could be useful in other ways,"
she said.
" 0 no, I ean't—i'm too little," persisted
Mrs. Wilson sat down and took the child
upon her lap. '
"Now listen to me; you can pick up My
ball when it rolls on the carpet, and get
papa's slippers, and fetch me a book, or my
work-basket, can't you ?"
" Yes, 1 can do those," said Ella.
" Well, then, arc you too small to be
useful ?"
" Why is that being useful? - I thought
it meant real great things," said Ella, open
ing her eyes in astonishment.
"It means that older girls are to do
great things and little girls are to do
little things," said, her., mother. " You are
a little girl, now, and so your heavenly
Father only wishes you to do little things,
but then my darling must try to do them
willingly and pleasantly. You. shoulTi al

A company poor children who had be j en
gathered out of the city, were preparing
for their departure- to new and distant
homes in the West. Just before , the time
for the starting of the oars, one of the boys
was noticed , aside from the others, and
apparently very busy with. a cast-off gar
ment.
The superintendent stepped up to him,
'and" found he was cutting a small piece out,
of the patched lining. It,proved to be his,
old jacket, whieh r having been replaced by
a new one, had been'titrown away. There
was no time to be lost " Come, Jehn,

are you going to do with that old piece of
calico ?'
"Please, sir," said John "I am cutting
it out to take with me. mother put
the lining into this old jacket for me.
This was a piece of her dress, and it is ail
that 1 shall have to remember h,er . by !"
And as the poor boy thought of that dear
mother's love, and of the sad death-bed
scene in the old garret where she died, he
covered his face with his - hands and sobbed
as if his heart would break.
But, the train was about leaving,' and
John thrust the little piece of calico into
his bosom, "to remember his mother by,"

the very picture. of belilderment. The
struggle. between a. 'father's love and 'the

" Very well, ivy' which of them is it to

" cFaix, and I don't know, sir,' and he

Marriages of Consanguinity.
M. Bondin, so well knoWn for his re
searches in medical statistical questions,
thus mincludes an interesting inquiry con
cerning the ‘ effeetsto,f 'marriages of consan
, .
guinity : - I.The opinions hitherto deliv
ered whether for`or against the hurtfainess
of,,these marriages, have for the most part,
net Veen based upon conefusive proofs., 2.
It is the statistical method that can alone
supply a scientific solution of the problem.
3. It results' froni my
. own researches that.
consanguineous, marriages are contracted in
France at the rate ,of .2 per cent.; and that
deaf-mutes • are the issue of consanguineous•
marriages in the proportion of 28 per cent.
at the„Paris Imperial Institution, 25 per
cent*: at Lyons, and 30 percent. at Bor
deaux. 4. Marriages between nephews
and aunts are contracted in France in the
proportion of 0.014 , per cent. (fourteen
thousandths per cent), while deaf-mutes
are;the results, of. such marriages in .the
prciportion of 2.04 per cent. In other
words, deaft:mutes resulting from
_such mar
riages are 145 more numerous Olin they
should be: Marriages between uncles
and nieces are dontracted in the proportion
of 0.04 per _cent. Veur hundredths), and
the deaf -unite* resulting from such mar
riages reach 1.61 per eent.ri. e., the dan
ger of engendering deaf-inutesis 40 times
greater in this kink - of alliance than;-it is•
in ordinary unions. 6. Marriages between
cousin-gertnans are: contracted in the pro
portion of; 0.77 per cent., and deaf-mutes.
are produced in the proportion . of =1847
per cent., i e., 24 tiineunore frequent than
they should be. 7. The, proportion of,
deaf-mutes proceeding from consanguineous
origin would be still greater =if we, could
take; nto account those which proceed in
directly ,from consanguineous marriages."
-8. While at Berlin the proportion of deaf:
mutes is-but in 10,000 among the Chris
tians, it is 27 in 10,000. among the Jews.
nearly ;the whole of the cases the
deaf-rwutes ' issuing from consanguineous
marriages have parents who are perfectly
healthy And exempt from hereditary affec
tions. - 10. When male -.and - female deaf
mutes intermarry, not beitg consanguineous,
the children they produce, with rare ex
ceptions, are exempt from dumbness and
deafneas. 11. In the fade of such facts as
diode, the hypothesis of a morbid heredi
tariness employed for the explanation of
the frequencydf deaf-dumbness among in.-
flints the results of consanguineous mar
riages, is radically false. 12. The hypoth
esis of thepretended harmlessness of con
sangumenus marriages is contiadicted by
the most. evident and well-verified facts,
and can only be excused by the difficulty,
or rather the impossibility,• of giving - a
physiological explanation of the production
of infirm children by parents who are phy
sically irreproachable. M. Boudie, in
proof•of the praetical impertance of this'
kind of inquiries, states - that in 1831 more
than 16,000 men have been exempt& in

Mutton for Food.
In Dr. Randall's valuable work on
" Sheep - Husbandry," which we noticed
some weeks ago, are some practical; hints
which lip know will prove of interest to
Our readers. In chapter ix. he says :
Persons desirous of engaging in• sheep
husbandry are frequently at a loss to decide
-what breed of sheep is best adapted to their
particular wants - and - ciratteatances. The
first and leading point to 'determine is Wheth
er it would be most profitable to make mutton
the prime consideration, and wool the ac-•
eessory—or wool the =prime consideralon,
and muttOn.the aceessory. If the first con
-elusion, is adopted, some of the improved
English mutton, varieties are undoubtedly
to:be preferred; if `the list, the merino has

'4 While other circumstances equally ad
mit, of, either husbandry, it is the market
that determines which product is the most
profitable toA the producer. Wool ..has
vastly greater:and more universal consump

cessary of life to every, man outside of the

two Franklin county men held four hun
dred sheep,' every one in the market, and
yet so ample was that supply, and so limo.
'tive the demand, that they could not 'raise
the market half a cent a pound, and finally
sold with difficulty;' and just twenty years
after that, at the same place, on the market
day previous to Christmas, 1859, 5,400
sheep changed from the drover to the
butcher.' . • • -
" The, history of Boston in this.respect
but the history of all ouriarger cities,
towns and villages, When this taste fully
extends to our rural • population; when our
laboring farmers learn, as they ought to
learn and will: learn, that - 20ting fat pork
all the year round is not most conducive to
health, and, to an enlarged general econo
my; when they acquire, the: habit, as they
so' conveniently could, of killing mutton
habitually for, household and neighborhood
consumption in, its fresh
,state ; our 'people;
now the'greatest consumers of animal food
among the civilized" nations of the world,
will become, by: far the greatest consumers
of mutton in the world. I dotibt whether
the enormous-amount-which will he annu
ally grown and coristimed in this country,
within, fifty, years has yet occurred to our
most sanguine advocates of mutton-sheep."

Intelligence 'in Farmjng.
Ext . racts from an address , before the New-
York State Agricultural Society at Utica,
by Rev. S. W. Fisher, D. D., President of
Hamilton College. Speaking of the. impor
tE;nce of intelligence to the farmer, he re
marked °
" Now, gentle Men, the thought which rises
uppermost as we survey this exhibition;the
thought which ferces itself upon my.mind
as I witness the success which has attended.
the efforts of these producers, is this: that
precisely the same principle prevails here as
in all other departments of, human labor,
•the prieciple that intellig,eUce, other things
being equal, makes the superior farmer and
mechanic; Ido not mean that a mere clas
sical scholar, or profound lawyer, or a ,
poet, or :a 'fine writer, will necessarily be a
good farmer. The field of knowledge is in
finite, the objects to which it maybe applied
are 'various as the pursuits ,of man, and it
is utterly impossible that any man, should
compass the whole or be eminent in all.
.Hence we must hive a division' of laber and
of thought. One man takes this depart
meet and anothdr that. Your,. department
is that which embraces the production of
fruits, grains, and 'animals, necessary for
the support and comfort of society. And
what .I mean to say is, that intelligence here
makes the superior producer; that with tile
same diligence and labor, a thorough mas
tery of all the knowledge belonging to your
business will give the greatest success.
"I do; not belong to that school ivhich
thinks that ignorance is good enough for
the masses of the people ; that because a•
man must labor-with his hands his intellect
is a useless:appendage. The first man God
Made, the highest, most intelligent of the
race, was - a farmer: He made; it his busi
ness to apply his intelligence td the tilling,
of the; soil, and the cultivation of its , fruit
He, who could go through the highest ope
rations of -the -human mind, the work of
giving fit names to all the objects of nature,
was not too learned or too scientific to be a
cultivator of the - earth. This same princi
ple of intelligence, which iti everything else
gives success; has its place here as the char
acteristic of the most successful operator.
'When• you pass by a farm where everything
is •in its place, the fences all right, the
'fields waving with the - finest 'Crops, the trees
bending beneath the weight of the best
kind of-fruit, the stock such as would adorn
the iark of a king, the house arranged for
comfort, the barns and stables well planned
and well kept, you feel instinctively that
there is something there higher than mere
diligence and labor ; that an intelligent
mind, a master of his business, has guided
the hand of labor, and the result is success.
Take an illistration—what to some, may
seem no illustration at all. Take one.of
those fruits—a' pear, an apple—so large;
rich, and luscious. It may be ttat - here
a‘nd. there nature . alone may produce such
fruit; but you cannot trust nature on a
large scale. To 'raise such fruit uniformly
you muse - put your mind into it; you must
add your intelligence to guide the opera
tilts of nature; you must select the right
position, the best soil, and the best fruit . ;
you- must graft, and prune, and care for
your trees before you- can secure so fine' a
product::.Nature .does much ; but nature,
directed by yourlntelligence, will do vastly
more. ,
,Every onepf these produCts is a re
sult of nature's work and your work com
bined. And so God trant Should be.
He Meant that inthis very way your own
minds should find exercise Aloud develop
ment, and you shoUld fill out the measure
of an intelligent man He does not bring
these things to you and say eat and drink
and enjoy yourselves. But he says use
.
your minds, lee them guide your hands, and
then nature will bless you witt her richest
fruiti. - •

RESOLUTIONS OF THE GENERAL ASSEM
BLY IN REGARD TO COLLECTIONS.
•
WHERUAS, Many of our churches do not con
tribute to our benevolent enterprises, and where
as, it is desirable to test the - power of simultal
neous effort; and whereas, an emergency has
arisen, requiring the cooperation of all our
churches to save our Boards from serious em
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
011 the FIRST SABBATH OF NOVEMBER•
For the BOARD OF FOREIGN MISSIONS on
the FIRST SABBATH OF JANUARY.
For the BOARD OF W BDUCATION on the
FIRM SABBATH OP MAWR."
For the COLPORTAGE FUND of the BOARD
OF PUBLICATION on the FIRST SABB.A.Tir OF
For the BOARD OF. CHURCH EXTENSION
on the FIRST SABBATH Or JULY. •
For the DISABLED MINISTERS' FUND on
the FinST SABBATH OF SEPTEMBER. -
- Relayed, 2.. That when 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.
By order of the General Assembly, ...the
publication of the Horne and Foreign Record
in the quarto or newspaper form_ will cease
with the Becember number. It will from
thence printed only in the - octavo,' or
pamphlet form, which• will be adtentageous to
those who annually- bind it in a volume. The
Matters it presents have a permanent interest.
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 presents a favorable opportunity
for pastors and others. interested in the welfare'
of the people, to make a new effort to circulate
the Record ajnong them. It ismow several yes±
since any considerable accession has been made
to the, list 9f subscribers, and it is thought that
in many - churches there are nullibers recently
added, who 'know nothing of the existence or
this.periodical. It is hoped that the action of
the Assembly will., meet the approval of the
. .
Church, which could be shown, in no better way
than by a 'grief, increase of subscribers.
