[" VOL.XVI.MONTREAL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1861.No.63.THE LATEST WONDER.(From the Montreal Gazette.) The Enniskillen Oil Wells of Upper Cansdu are the latest wonder; and a wonder moreover to be 1e- ded with interest by the Province.Mr.T, Sterry unt, Chemist and Mineralogist to the Geological Society, is now engaged in an exploration of the Oil region on bebalf of the Survey.He hus found a state of things more wonderful han he or others had imagined ; and if a good market can be found for the oil, there is in tbat lccality greater natural wealth than can wel! be calculated.We have been favored, for publication, with an extract from a private letter of Mr.Hunt, which we are sure the readers of the Montreal Gazette will peruse with interest, Dating Sarnia, C.W., July 31st, Mr.Hunt says .\u2014 \u201c The late discoveries in the oil region in Dluck Creek, in Enniskillen, are very remarkable.Besides a great number of surface wells, i.e., wells dug from 40 to 60 feet through the drift to the rock of the country, and yielding, many of them, large quantities of oil, there are now numbers of wells bored io this rock to deptbs varying from 40 to 200 fect.In eink- ing thus through {be soft limestoues and marls of the Hamilton group, irregular fissures affording oil are met with at varying and uncertain depths, but yielding petroleum in quantities hitherto unexawpled on the continent.The most remarkable of these rock wells bave been opened within these last 10 duys, and furnish oil with considerable quantities of gas, but without any water.Some which have been opened a week (July 30) have afforded from 200 to 400 bbls of pure oil, ard after extracting this amount tke well has filled up sgain in à few hours to the surface, and in two is now flowing over into the ud- jacent creek.It is impossible to say what amount of vil these wells would furcisk if wrought conti nuously, but the supply seems tu be enormous.Meanwbile there is no market for the oil, and many thousands of barrels sre stowed up in tanks and pita awaiting purchasers.À plank road is about being made te Wyoming Station ov the G.Western Rail way, 13 miles distant.It is hoped from recent infor mation from England thata goed maker for the oil will be opeued there.The sesclis of the last ten days ja this region huve eurjussed the dreams of the most sanguine 8s to the supply of oil, und judging from picsezt appessunce the wells of Enuiskillen will rival those of Burmab and l\u2019ersia, which have for centuries supplied the East with petroleum.\u201cTt is worthy of remark that the ¢i! wells of Cuc- ada are in 8 much lower gevlogival formation than those of Obio and Pennsylvania.These rise for the most part from the Upper Devoulan sandstones, while the wells sunk iu Eoniskillen are ia the Hamilton shales, und even seem to bave reached the underlying Devonian limestones, which wilh perbaps the addition of the Silurian iimesiones, we con ceive to be the source of the petroleum both in Cauada std tLe adjacent States.It is evidently connected with the undulations subordinate to the grest anticlinal axis which we have traced through Western Canada, und which permit the accumulation of the oil elsewhere diffused through the rocky strats.CANADIAN NEWS, Mone Troors ror Caxapa.\u2014There seems to Le ren- son to expect another very considerable additios 10 the troops in tbe Province.The present accommodation is completely occupied, but we learn that the civil or Provincial Government has ordered the barracks at Laprairie, Chambly, St.Joln's, and we believe lale- aux-Noix, recently surrendered by the Imperial Govern ment to be again placed at the disposal of the latter.This will necessitate the removal of tue new Lunatic Æsylum from the Barracks of St.Julw's, and, if Isle- aux-Noix be removed, the breaking up of the Juvenile Reformatory established at that post.\u2014 Herald.rLy Cures.\u2014We learn that rifle clubs are being formed in many of the villages in the western part of the province, with excellent prospects of usefulness.The movement is an admirable one, and should receive all possible encouragement.The experience of England has proved what may be accomplished in couple of years, in regard to the organization and training of volunteers; and there is mo reason why Canada may not equal the parent country, proportionately to its population.The rifle will soon be in cvery ane band in England.It should be 80 in Canada.A little judicious effort would suflice to bring together and equip a company of riflemen in every village and every township in Upper Canada; and we trust that tue effort will be made without delay \u2014

Thursday evening éc'nuight, nnd we regret to say that it was attended with disastrous, though not as yet fatal consequences.The growling of the thunder was heard, and vivid flushings of the lightning econ, in Chelmsford ; but the storm took n south-casterly direction and its principal fury appears to have been felt at Rettendon and Battle's Bridge, about nine miles distant.1 raged there from eight to nine o'clock, and so violenta storm not being recollected in that neighborhood, it created great alarm amongst the villagers, who were induced to herd together, as if safety was to Le found in num- Vers.In the house of William Bom, three families residing there were ali assembled in one room, together with four other persons who had sought refuge there, when the lightning struck off the top of the chimney and descended into the apartment, prostrating the whole 13, aud seriously injuring two of them, named Jobn Havens and Eliza Marsh.Toth of them were very severely burnt, the young girl remaining insensible fur twenty minutes after she was struck ; and the underclothing of both of them was found full of small holes, as if it had been penetrated by ehot, They still lie ina very dangerous state, though hopes arc entertained of their recovery.The boot was cut completely off the foot of another little girl named Hannu Bom.The others sustained little or no injury beyond the sudden prostraiion and thefright.The cottage clock, close to wkich the two injured persons were sitting, was greatly damaged ; ita chains appear to have exercised an attractive power over the electric fluid, as its most deadly force was spent in that direction, after which it escaped by the window, in which several panes of glass were broken.There is also a large hole in the end of the house, and it is otherwise much shaken and demaged.Several trees in the immediate ueighbor- hood were also struck.In the adjacent parish of Rawreth (be full of hail was fearful, the stones being 80 beavy as tu kill large birds on the trees.One man states that Le picked up twenty dead rooks, aud could have picked up a hundred in the distance of a mile \u2014 W'estern paper.Atreyrr at Hicuway Romeeuv.\u2014Dr.Eggert, ITo- maopathic Physician of this city, furtishes us with the following statement of an attack made upon him on the Nepean road, Rideau Froot, on Thursday evening last :\u2014Dr.Eggert left town in an opeu carriage about five clock to visit a patient at Black Rapids \u2014 Mr.Davis, the Lockmaster at that station\u2014and started on return horse about eight o'clock.Black Rapids is ten miles from town.About four miles from the Rapids he overtook a buggy containing two men standing upon the road.Un bis coming up one of the men said if be was in a hurry Le might pass, which the Doctor accordingiy did.The parties followed for some distance, ard found fault that the Doctor did nut drive faster.He stopped and allowed tLem lo pass again, when they stopped and proposed a race, which, on the Doctor declining, they grew abusive.After soma Lime they drove on, and were lost sight of.The Doctor saw ro more of them till be descended the hill leading to St.Louis Dam and was so advanced oo the Dam that there was no room to turn.About the middle of the Dam, which is about one-eighth of a mile in length, the buggy was discovered standing across the road, and as soon as the Doctor approached, the men leaped out and one of them jumped into the Doctor's carriage and ming a Llow with what seemed to be the butt of a pi tol called out \u201cyour money or your life.\u201d The octor drew out of the way and escaped the Llow, and being unarmed put bis band ip Lis vest pocket to band over what money Le bad when a gecond blow was made at him by the same party, but the Doctor watched bis chance, leaped from bis carringe and made fur a farmer'3 house through the fields.The gecond juriy was engaged in keeping the horses from clearing off.The farmer and his people accompanied the Doctor to the spot and found his harness cut and the reins tied to the carriage wheels The buggy end men returned, it it supposed, to tbe country.The Doctor returned to the city end gave the necessary information to the authorities.We hope every effort will be made to dia- cover the perpetrators of this rascally act.\u2014 Offaiee Tribune.CoxmenciaL Prospects \u2014There are some complaints of (be state of particular crops in special localities, but there cag be littie doubt that the barvest, which bas been commenced, will be abundant.Fruit is a light crop almost everywhere, the oats are thin in the hack townships, there is a good deal of weevil in the wheat on (be front, and tbe early turui;s bave been nearly cut off by insects ; but the hay crop is large, tho whea! both fall and spring, bas rarely been stronger, ani everywhere there is & general average of success which makes the farmers feel very comfortable.Prices rule low, nor can we hold out any prospects that they will rise duriog the autumn, The crop in the States pro- wises to be fully an average one, tod the war has not as yet had the usual effet of such incidents in Europe, the raising the price of articles of food.In the North, the zoldiery have chiefly been sent from the towns, the firmers being left to pursue their labours undisturbed.fa the South the slaves are left to till tbe soil, and more than the usual quantity of bresdstufta has been raised, to the detriment of the cotton supply.Tbe wheat and corn which formerly wet from tbe prairies down the Mississippi, now finds a market at the east, and diminishes Canadian prices.A portion of Virginia alone Las been rendered unproductive, but so small a proportion does it form of the entire grain-growing region, that it can have no effect on prices.The war, in making trade uncertnin, has checked speculation, which bas always a share in the establishment of high prices.The war has also destroyed the building trade in the States aud checked the demand for Iumber.\u2014 When wheat and lumber are both low, there can be no very extraordinary proeperity in Cunada\u2014po great impetus given fo large enterprises.There may be, however, aod we think there will be, during tbe coming fall and winter, considerable ease aud comfort tbrongbout the commuvily, n good deal of quiet money getting, and laying of foundations for more important enterprises.\u2018Tbe farmers generally have paid their old debts, and iocurred but few new ones during the last four years of bard work and close economy, They are now able to build a little, cleat new land, and to buy à little more frecly at the tore.There will be no inflation, no extract dinary movement, but there will be, we think, during the winter à fair business done throughout Upper Cannda on n sound hasis.Ho mote it be.\u2014 Globe, Aug.1.Tes Lixpeay Fire \u2014We nro requested to publish (he following :\u2014At & mecting of the Municipal Council, of the town of

Hudson's Bay Company.This arrunge- ment lasted about twelve years more\u2014that is to the year 1835, when wo have to regard it us the property of the Company, by right of purchase.Like the great

and thwarted Lis views, The juncture chosen by the Earl of Selkirk Was cqually sinister to Lis design, for be began at a time of lawless strife and social disorganization.And apart from the terrible disturbance, the distance from tbe molher-country and the inland position of the colony, were great obstacles to success, The whole cost of this scheme to his lordship was £85,000 ster- ling\u2014an

Plains recently beld two indignation meetings on the land question.The first took place on the 26th ult., at the chapel doors, after service, and the second, at Mr.J, Taylor's, Headingley, (20th) Un both occa- slong the subject matter of discussion was the intention of the Hudson's Diy Company, as lately eet forth by themselves, to exact payment for all lands within five years, at the rate of 53.6d.per mere.Several notes were, il appears, seut by the Company to residents along (be Assiniboine in which they were volified that they must at once enter into an agreement to pay for thelr 1ands within five years at 7s.6d.per acre, or they would be sold to the first puichaser, in which case ali improvements would be forfeited.The news excited very general and deep indignation.At (he meeting, on Sunday, the policy of the Company was strungly condemuced-\u2014resolutions repudiating the Oompaay's claims to any payments whatever for land, were unanimously agreed to\u2014and a deputation consisting of Mr.Pascal Breand, Mr.Urban Delorme and other jofluen- tial men in that district, were deputed to mticnd the meeting at Mr.Taylor's.Iere again most of the speakers expressed their determination to resist the Company's demands.They declared they would uot pay one cent, and even went the length of offecing their protection to all foreigners, or others indisposed tc acquiesce in the exactions of the powers that be, The principal reasons urged against compliance with tbe ate claims nre, that the Company have no right to tho land themselves, never having purchased it, and that the Half-breeds hinve a very palpable right, being the dercendauts of tbe original lords of the soil.Such is theissue at present.It is but due, however, (0 add that the following differed with the

Cotemporary Press.THE LATE PRIZE FIGET\u2014TRE WEAKNESS OF GIANTS.(From the London Review.) The fight for the championship of Englund, which :v0k place on Tuesday week, on an island in the river Medway, safe from the interference of a police hat was doubtless instructed not to be \u2018 tou\u2019\u2019 zeai- vus in the performance of its duty, was ia itself a very disgusting business.Yet, in its results, it was s0 remarkable a proof of the old wisdom of the wuld, «3 represented 10-us by the traditions of every age ind race, às to justify the journalist in commenting upon it.Recognising to the fullest extent the brutality of the fight, we cannot but read the details of the struggle with a certain sort of admiration for the */ pluck,\u201d as well as the skill of the little man, who 50 effectually defeated the big one.Hurst, the possessor of the belt, which he had won some months 120 at the close of a short fight, by a single sud al! bat accidental blow, stood nearly V feet 3 inches in height, and weighed 1G stone.Mace, his antagonist, was but feet 8 inches in Leight, and weighed 10 stone and e-half, It was known by the friends and backers uf the giaut that he had but to strike one how to make un end of the battle, if not of his adversary, and that that one blow would fell a stronger inan than Mace, as effectually as a child's baud would \u2018ell & pinepiu.Muce, if not bis friends and backers, was precisely of the same conviction, and never lost heart, or doubted the issue, even when Hurst, to add 10 bis other advantages, acquired the right of choos ing his corne, and stood with his own back to the san, and the Light {ull in the face of his adversary.We have nu intention of giving the sickeniog details.After à struggle of fifty minutes, during which eight rounds were fought, Hurst\u2014distigured, bleeding, guastly, and insensible\u2014was compelled by bis backers to give in, without having struck one blow, or even so much as touched his antagonist.It is mot our purpose cither to defend or apologise for the exhibition, or to say oue word for the good taste or humanity of those who witnessed or per- witted it.It is only because we find in ita specimen of the mightier couflicts that ure being fought, or that will shortly bave to be fought in the world, thut we tolerate it at all, and look upon it as 8 kind of representative battle, in which tr greater issues are very palpably prefigured.All history tells us that the fiercest giants, who depend upon furcealone, are inevitably beaten when it comes to the point; aud «bat the mightiest empires follow the same law, and are doomed to fall victims to the skill and intelligence which they ignore or despise.We need not +0 back to the classic or the middie ages for proofs of tbe fact, We have only to look around tosce it, Is not Austria a stupid giaut like Hurst; and Ttaly à little, patient, aud dexterous combatant like Mace?The fortunes of that t match, with the whole of the civilized world for its spectators, are as yet marvellously similar to those which were this week decided iu Kent; und the issues will be the same, or there is neither truth in nature nor in history.Hurst will, itis to be hoped, recover from his defeat; and ao it is to be hoped wil Austria when lialy bas dene with her.But Hurst and Austria will have to fight other battles, with other challengers, or retire\u2014the oue from the rins, and the other from ber high position among Livgdoms snd empires.Who will challenge Horst we cannot say, but every ove can see far enough into the future to know that Hungary will be tbe next nimble and skilfal boxer that will try the fortune of battle with the bulky giant of Vienna : and, of course, tue bulky monster wi:l be beaten.In like manner that tremendous old giant, who sits at Rome, bas been so belaboured by the nimble Jitde men of intellect, who have been bitting him such heavy blows, that he presents at this moment s spectacle almost a frightful to contemplate as poor Hurst did à few minutes before the fight was over.Substitute for the name of Lrettle, the giants backer, in the following parsgraph, the name of Nupolcon IIL, and for that of Hurst the Papacy, ad there comes out a truthful picture of the present condition of one of the most formidable giants who ever appeared in the world to overcome snd oppress it.*¢ Brettle, Hurst's chief backer,\u201d says the Times reporter, * at last rushed into tbe arens, und insisted on his lighting no more; but the maimed giant seemed iucapable of understandiog bis defeat, and groped aod sta sored out again.Blind nnd fainting, it ooly required onr or two more blows to finish tbe affair; but the infliction of those on the helpless heap uf flesh was horrible aud sickening beyond ull desc:ip- tion.His secouds aud backers gave in for bim without his knowledge, aud kept Hurst in his corser till be gradually became almost insensible, and all the restorative acts of the ring were exhausted in efforts to keep bim from fainting, which, in the absence of a surgeon, aud in his then fast failing power, might have been & most serious affair.\u201d And a very serious affair it will be when the Bret.tle of Pio Nono withdraws him trom the ring, and confesses on his behalf thst the long unequal fight is at an end for ever.We need uot pursue the illust tion.Let the giants beware! There are evil days before them ; and iatellect will conquer brute force now, as it always has done, both in persona! and in national couflicts.PRINCE NAPOLEON, The following sketch of the life of Prince Napoleon, who is now travelling on this continent, cannot but be interesting to our readers: \u2014 Napoleon Joseph Charles Paul Bonaparte is the second son of Jerome Napoleon, tbe ex-King of Westphalie.Île was born at Trieste on the ou of September, 1822.lle was in ome nt the time of the insurrection in the Romagna in 1831, when two of the sons of Madame Ietitin Bonaparte were compromised, Jn consequence of this he was com- led to remove to Florence.In 183% he went to Evitreriand, und remained at Geneva for two ears, and ia 1837 he entered the military college of Louis- bourg, Wurtemburg.In 1840, on the conclusion of his education he was required 10 enroli himself as à soldier, but he refused to bear arms for 7 country but Fraace, in consequence of which ho bad to leave, For five years after Te travelled through Germany, England and Spain, In the latter country he remained fora considerable time, during the regency of permission to reside iu France, he succeeded in 1845 in obtuining from Guizot permission to visit Paris, under the title of Count de Montfort; but his relations with the democratic party, and bis ultra opinions in favor of republicanism, very soon brought bim under the suspicion of the government, which about four mouths after, issued an order 10 hiw to leave the couo- try.Some time afterwards (in 1817), the Chamber of Deputics having formally received the petition of bis fatler, the ex-King Jerome, Prince Napoleon was permitted tu return to France with his father, Un the very day of the fall of Louis hillippe\u2019s dynasty \u2014the 2th of July, 1848\u2014Prince Napoleon was at the Hotel de Ville, and two days after he wrote a let: ter, which was published, in which he offered to pluce himself at the service of the provisional government, declaring that it was the duty of every good citizen to take part with the republic.He expressed bim- self in the most explicit waoner in favor of republi- ean principles.ha Lis profession of faith to tbe electors of La Corse, as a candidate for the Constituent Assembly, he traced out the programme of a government wore revolutionary in its forei;n policy than liberal in ita domestic provisions.Having been elected on the first occasion by 39,229 votes, he at once raoged himself among the moderate republicans, and voted generally with the government of the day; he voted also for a graduated tax, for two Chambers in tbe Legislature, tbe establishment of the l\u2019residency, the expedition to Italy, the continu: ance of capital punishment, &c., &c.It may also be remarked that he voted with the minority against the banishment of the Orleans family.On the 10th of February 1840, be was appointed Ambassador to the Court of Madrid, but his letters of authority were soon after revoked in consequence of his leaving his t without leave, and he was succeeded by M.ourgoigne.This act of severity induced bim to enter witb grester alacrity into the views of the democratic opposition ; aud during the sittings of the Legislature, in which he still represented La Corse, he always sat on the opposition benches, where he suv- ported many more measures than be had for the government in 1851, but abstained from taking part io the outrageous discussions that marked the close of the Assembly.Immediately after the coup d'état of 1852 be retired into private life.This retirement, however, was not of very long duration; for at the end of the same year, on the restoration of the empire, Prince Napoleon, in virtue of his relationship to the Emperor, and by a decree of the Senatus Con- sultum of 22nd of December, took the style and title of a French Prince, being after his father Jerome, the next heir to the throne of France ; and by right, as such, he took his place in the Senate and the Council of State.At the same time he received the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor, and, without having served, the rank of a general of division.When war was declared against Îtussia, he expressed a desire to share the glories of the campaign, and on the 10th of April he embarked at Marseilles for the scene of the struggle, and commanded a division of the infantry of reserve at the battles of the Alma and Inkerman.A short time afterwards the feebleness of his bealth, and perhaps also the publication of & brochure at Brussels containing some very free comments on the plan of the campaign adopted in the Crimes, caused Lim to be recalled to France.A mission more conformable to his talents now awaited him.He was appointed Presideut of the Imperial Commission of the Universal Exposition of 1855.He manifested, in the labor that devolved on him in connection with this great scheme, the most active zeal, and a firm desire to carry out the work to perfection, which was fully appreciated by the foreign jurors and all the exhibitors.Those who are 40 in clined may judge of this by the book which has been dedicated to him, under the title of ** Visite du Prince Napoleon & Exposition Universelle.\u201d After the birth of a direct heir Lo the Imperial Crown, he accepted a portfolio iu the Ministry.Tn 1857 he undertook à voyage to the North Seas, which bas been the subject of an excellent work, by Mr.Charles Edeund, ettitled * Voyage dans les Mers du Nord à bord de la Corveite La Keine Hortense.\u201d On the 24th of June, 1658, Prince Napoleon was placed at the head of the newly created ministry for Algeria and tbe culoniesz.On the 30th of January be married the Princess Marie Therese Louise Clotilde de Savoy, daughter of Victor Emmanuel, King of Sardiuix.The Princess was born on the 2nd of March, 1843, This family alliance was determined on by an intimate understanding between the two sovereigns and the reciprocal interests of France und Piedmont ; but the negotiations 10 bring it about were delayed more than a year.This marriage was regarded as the sign of & closer political alliance\u2014a supposition that was verified by the war that was almost immediately entered upoa with Austria for lialian independence.As soon as the war broke out Prince Napoleon was sent to Livournia, with a corps d'arinee of forty thousand men, for the protection of Tuscany.By the death of Prince Jerome, Prince Napoleon stands, nex( after the young Prince Imperial, heir to the throne of tbe Nupoleuos, and takes rank as a Marshal of France.The next act of the Prince's life, which has brought bim promiventis forward before the world is the suit of Madame l'utieraon Bonaparte against him, to ob- taio ber marital rights as the widow of the late Prince Jerome Bonaparte, father of Prince Napoleon, to vindicato her fair fame and establish the fe itimacy ot her son.The soit and its results in the defeat of Madume Bonaparte, are too recent and well known to require more than a bare allusion to them.TRE PRINCESS CLOTILDE, who is a daughter of Victor Emmanuel, King of Sar.dinia\u2014now King of Itaiy\u2014a union which tended 10 cement more firmly the friendly relations existing between the French and Sardinian governments previous to the breaking out of the Italian war, Her name in full is Marie Therese Louise Clotilde, and she was born on the 20d of March, 1843.She is, therefore, now in her nineteenth year.Tue Prick or Muskers.\u2014Muskets, which were offered at the standard price of 45 francs\u2014nine dol- turs\u2014when the American sgeuts first arrived in France and Belgium, have now augmented to 75 franes\u2014fifteen dollars, This is partly due to the fuct that Mr.Butler King bids against the agents of the Northern States, nud that the agents of these Blates even bid et each other.The latter think Me, King bids high only because be duss not Espartero.Afiee many froitless attempts to obtain expect to bay, and hopes thereby to embarrass them.LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S ELEVATION TO THE PEERAGE.(From the London Times, July 171A.) The announcement of the intended elevation of Lord Jobn Russell to the House of Peers, although of an event neither premature nor unsuitable, will doubtless take many of our readers by surprise.For the last five and forty years the name of Lord John Russell bas been connected wilh every species of political vicissitude\u2014now with the most complete success, now with the most complete failure; with the formation of onc government and the dissolution of another; with the repeal of the test and corpora: tion acts, with Catbolic emancipation, with the reform bill, with municipal reform, with the corn laws in fact, with every stirring and every important measure of the times in which we live.\u201cOa all these subjects Lord Jolin Russell Lus played no inconsiderable part, and it cannot seem unreasonable tbat in the fuluess of years and honors the statesman of such long and vatied experience should seek for repose in that haleyon region where supply i3 uoknown, where the dinner hour is the most sacred institution, and where an audience of three or four diminishes the difficulty of an orator and the chance of hostile interruption.Lord Juhn Îtussell first held à seat in the House of Commons when George III.was king, in the year 1813, before the first Napoleon was hurled from his throne, und w'.ile toryism was in the very zenith of ita usceudanc,.He bas been First Lord of the Treasury, and Sreretary of State for the Home, Colonial and Foreign Departments; and, besides the government of which he was the head, be has been a member of the administrations of Lord Grey, Lord Melbourne, Lord Aberdeen, aud Lord Palmerston.But, above ati, Loid Jobn Îtus- sell was the man picked out from the great Liberal party to move in tbe House vf Commons the intru- duction of the great reform bill, It was his voice that first inaugurated the great Revolution, for such it has undoubtedly proved, of 1832, Lord John Russell's name has been 80 long connected with the House of Commons that it is difficult to imagine bim contending in any other arena.Lut we can perceive the diguity ang admit the wisdom of a retreat, from the prominent position which he bas so long held in the public eye, before time bas made any inroad on his faculties or deprived him of tbe influence which he has 80 long exercised over the deliberations of the House of Commons, We have felt it our duty on many occasions to express à strong dissent from the views and a strong disapproval of the proceedings of Lord Joba Russell.We have nothing to retract: but we, never theless, sincerely wish to a statesman who has so long bcen the companiou through our columns of the great public of this country, and the object of 80 much criticism and animadversion, a long and tranquil enjoyment of the repose which be bas earn ed by a life of manly and incessant labor, such as few men would, we believe, be willing to endure even for the privilege of styling themselves prime minister of England.Lord John Russell retains in the upper house the seals of the foreign office, so that no change need be apprehended in the course of a vigorous nnd successful policy which, while preserving England free from foreign war and unnecessary intervention in the affairs of other states, has extended her influence and raised her character, GENERAL SCOTT°S VINDICATION.(From N.F.Times.) \u201cOu the Tuesday preceding the battle, Gen, Scott, at his own table, in presence of his aids and a single guest, discussed the whole subject of this war, in all its parts, and with the utmost clearness and accuracy.He bad a distinct, and well-defined opinion où every puint connected with it; aud stated what his plan would be for bringing it to a close, if the management of it bad been left in his bands.The main object of the war, he said, was to bring the people of tbe rebellious States to feel the pressure of the Government; to compel them to return to their obedience aud loyalty, And this must be done with the least possible expenditure of life, compatible with tbe attainment of the object.No Christian nation can be juatified, he said, in waging war inaucha way as shsli destroy 501 lives, when the object of the war can be attained at a cost of 500.Every mun killed beyond the number absolutely required, is murdered.Hence, he looked upon all shooting of pickets, all scouting forays not required in order to advance the general object of the war, all destruction of life, on either side, which did not contribute to the general result, ns so many acts of unjustifiable omicide, \u201cIf the matter bad been left to him, he sxid, he would bave commenced by a perfect blockade of every Southern port on the Atlantic and on the Gulf.Then he would bave collected a large force at the Capital for defensive purposes, and avother large one on tbe Mississippi for offensive operations.The Summer months, during which it is madness to take troops south of St.Lou:s, should have heen devoted to tactical instruction\u2014and with the first frosts of Autumn he would have taken a column of 80,000 well-disciplived troops down the Mississippi\u2014and taken every important point on that river, New- Orleans included.J¢ could have been done, he said, with greater ease, with less loss of life, and with far more important results than toould attend the marching of an army to Richmond.At eight points the river would probably have been defended, aud eight batiles would have been necessary : bat in every one of them success could have been made certain for us.The Mississippi and the Atlantic once ours, the Southern States would have been com- polled, by the natural and inevitable pressure of events, to seek, by a return to the Union, escape from the ruin that would speedily overwhelm them out of it.\u2018This\u2019 said he, \u2018was my plan.ButIsm only a subordinate.It is my business to give advice when it is asked, and to obey orders when they are given.[shall doit.There are gentlemen in the Cahinet who know much more about war than I do, and who have far greater influence than F have in determining the plan of the campaign.There never was a more just and upright man than the President -hever one who desired more sincerely to promote the best interest of the country.But thers are men smong his udvisers who consult their owa resentments far more than tbe dictates of wisdom and ex- perience, and these men will probably decide the lan of the campaign.I shall do, or attempt pen, I am ordered to do.But they must ot hold me responsible.If I am ordered to go to Richmond, I shall endeavor to do it.But I know perfectly well that they have no conception of the difficulties we shall encounter.I know the country \u2014how admirably adapted it is to deferse, and how resolutely and obstinately it will be defended.I would like nothing better than to take Richmond ; now that it hss been disgraced by becoming the capital of the Rebel Confederacy, I feel a resentment toward it, and should like notbicg better than to scatter its Congress to the winds.But I have lived long enough to know that humau resentment is a very bad foundation for a public policy: and these gentlemen will live long enough to learn it also.1 shall do what I am ordered.I shall fight when and where [ am commanded.But if 1 am compelled to fight before Fam ready, they shall not hold me responsible, These gentlemen must take the responsibility of their acts, as I am willing to take that of mine.But they must not tbrow their responsibility vn my shoulders.\u201d PRESENT FINANCIAL CONDITION OF ENG LAND AND FRANCE.(From the N.Y.Independent.) The very low price of English consols\u2014now rc duced to below 90\u2014aeems to indicate the fear of ap proaching trouble; as this favorite investment bas slways been regarded the infallible barometer by which matters political and financial might be read with some degree of reliability.Much speculation is indulged respecting the cause of the declive in con- sols and of the increased indisposition of tbe public to invest therein.The amount is very large, but the bulk is never disturbed, beinz permanentiy invested by sevinge-banks, public institutions, trust companies, and it is but a small proportion to the whole that is changing hands contivually : but a larger proportion than usual has been offering, snd there are few buyers, except at prices more ia proportion to the increased market rate of diacount\u20146 per cent.\u2014 than what tbe cunsols yield, £3 for 89 to 90 per cent., which is not 3 1-9 per cent.The advance in the rate of discount seems permanent.The increased opportunities for the employment of English capital seem the reason, and not any fear of chauge in the sphere of politics.The commercial field of India is abstracting large supplies of capital from England for its railroads, its public louns, and, not least, in its increased culture of cotton.The receipts of bullion by Great Britain have been {ally equal of late to its exports to thie country, and no trouble is felt or apprehended on thisscore.The diminution of exports to this country is not an evil like that of 1857, when the imports were large, but when there were no returns, owing to the failures here.It is considered in England that she * will not in future retain the advantage of superior cheapness of capital which she enjoyed some years ago.\u201d Ep, land's excessive abundance of wealib will henceforward be neutralized in its effect on the value of money by the increased facilities of exchange between one country and another ; especially as free trade ob- taina more bold on international dealings.French and English, of o!d so opposed in their commercial laws that few transactions took place between them, though so near neighbors, are fraternizing in alt commercial matters.Armed fully for war, renders them more secure of peace and the peaceful field of commerce is being plowed opby both nations more vigor: ously than ever before.The last event is a move in favor of the cotton planting and culture in Algeria by the French, by a new treaty with England for obtaining and bicing coolie laborers from England's colonics to till Algeria's cotton fields! in return for which slavery in I'rench colonies is to be abolished in deed aa well as in name.Another peculiarity uppears in the French financial world.The Bank of France is paying out silver iustead of gold, silver and gold having approximated in value, It was thought and contended that gold bad fallen in value, Lecause one article, silver, bad appreciated, but now it appears that the appreciation of silver was culy temporary.The export of silver to Indi has moderated, and the supply has much increased : so that the Bank of France finds itself able to pag from its large hoard of silver ita demand liabilities, without the fear of being run upon for a commodity which is at a premium in the market as compared with other moneys.Some time ago, rather than ron this risk, it borrowed trom the Bank of England & large sum on the security of an equal value in silver.Now having again to meet more demands than its stock of gold would enable it to do, it is paying out its silver, the law of France giving debtors the privilege of paying either in silver or gold.Tne Camixer Divipep,\u2014The New York Times, remarking upon the revelations made by Mr.Richardson, saye:\u2014 It is known, and need not longer be concealed, that there is in the Cabinet an element of intense batred of Gen.Scott.Perbsj Mr.Blair embodies and represents it more thoroughly than any other member.He has made no secret of ity but has often, in spite of the gross breach of official Jropeiely which such an act involved, denounced the General io public places as utterly unfit for his bigh position.It seems to us quite time that the President should muko his choice between Gen.Scott nud those members of his Cabinet who would substitute for bis experience and military skill, their own resentments and ignorant pretence.Hie Cabinet bas been distractods sud bis own action weakened long enough by these presumptions and disastrous counsels,\u201d ; | \u2014 An important letter appears from Fort Pickens in the New York Zïmes, giving information (sur: reptitiously obtained) relative to t 6 views entertained by Admiral Milne regarding the blockade.The Admiral seems disposed to consider the blockade wholly inefficient, and enumerates instances in which the federal cruisers have allowed vessels to pass.The names nre also given of several ports where, at the date of his despatch, June 20, no United States vessels were stationed, and trade was apparently unin terrapted.The Admiral\u2019s letter is doubtless now in tbe hauds of the British government, aud we mer soon expect to hear whether the instances of inefll ciency discovered by the squadron watching the ia teresis of Rritish commerce are sufficient to induse them to ignore the blockade. AvausT 7, 1861 THE MONTREAL WITNESS.499 COTTON AND FIRE.(From N.Y.Independent.) \u2018The Charleston Mercury says that tbere were four classes of resources relied upon by the insur- gente\u20141ihe srmy, privateering, negotiation in Europe, and cotton.Of these, negotiation in Europe, it says, has entirely failed; privateering is rendered ineffective by the blockade and the exclusion of prizes from neutral ports ; fighting by the army seeins to promise bat little, and the only resource left reliable is cotton.But there seems to be some question jet 83 to the manner and meaus by which cotton can be made available to the extent of the necessities of the insurgent leaders in carrying on a war against their lawful government.; In the first place, cotton has to perform one im portant function\u2014which cannot be dispensed with or postponed\u2014 before it can be made available for the political or diplomatic exigencies of the C.8.A.Cotton has to pay for nearly all that is imported from without in the Confederate States.Whatever they require to use or wear, and all the condiments and much of the substantials of what they have to eat next year, must be paid for out of this year's cotton.And 80 much of it as is needed fur this purpose must be sold, in the face of embargoes, blockades, and all difficulties, ind all the extra cost of getting it to the market where it is used will have to coms out of the cotton, and so lessen its price at home.And it is 10 be remembered that the cotton states bave never yet found the entire cotton crop of the year too much to pay their expenses, but, on the other hand, have always bought their supplies on credit, squaring accounts every now and then by long extensions, bankruptcies, and repudiation.For the balance, the problem how to make cotton control the diplomacy of Europe and compel France and England to yi.td to tbe dictation of the Confederacy, and break open our blockade by force and act of war against the United States, and at the same time furnish the means of replenishing the treasury and sustaining the credit of the Confederacy, and of carrying on the war against the [United States for this year und next, may well tax the ingenuity of the rebel statesmen.The so-called Provisional Congress voted, last spring, to raise their revenue by an export duty on cotton.But since the blockade, there is no cotton exported, and therefore no income.Since that, Mr.Alexander H.Stephens, the titular Vice-President of the Confederates, bas undertaken to replenish their treasury by obtaining from the plauters large pledscs of cotton tv be paid for in Confederate bonds.How high Secession may thus lift itself up by its own waistbands, we shall see in the rceult.Some Southeru papers have advised that the cotton crop of this year should pot be ginned and bagged for market at all, but stacked in covered pens, all in the rough, to abide tbe derelopments of the cam- paign\u2014with the understanding that, if the states should be invaded by the United States armies, these stacks aie to be burnt by the people, rather than the North shall have any cotton.Ît is certainly a very remarkable proposal, aud it must deeply interest the Manchester and Leeds cottonlords.But tbe slaves know a trick twice as cunning.Not long since, à fugitive from some one of the colton states was interrogated by a lawyer in this city as to what the slaves of the South think about these times, and whether they consider that \u201c Cotton is King.\u201d The negro replied that the slaves think a good many things which they don\u2019t tell, but as to cotton being king, they don\u2019t believe it at all.* We know better than that,\u2019 said he, \u2018 Cotton is not kiag\u2014Fire is king ; for if you were to kindle & spark of fire in a cotton ficld, at the windward eide, just at picking time, 1whoo-isk, it would run through it in no time, and then the negroes would have no cottonto pick.\u201d BRITISH AND FOREIGN NEWS.Tae Brg 1x Bivciow.\u2014The Rev.Carr J.Glyn, who bas recently visited Belgium, gays: * Nothing can show more satisfactorily the eminent bleasings of the operations of the Bible Society thau the results of the circulation of the Scriptures by the society in Belgium since 1836.A quarter of a million have been distributed in the country, in a population of 4,500,000, and it was impossible, when attending the meetings which have been very lately held at Nassen- vaux, Lize-Seraign, and Liege, not to mark the great advance made in the last seven years in Protestant feeling.Atthe two latter meetings between 500 and 600 people were assembled, and tbe deepest interest felt.Botb places of worship were completely crowded, aud it may be confidently hoped that real good was done.By far the greater part of the audience were Roman Catholics, There are now sixtcen stations in Belgium where the Gospel is faithfully preached by men of talent and power, who are the irat to admit that these results have by the blessing of God arisen from the labours of the Bible Society\u201d Poraxp.\u2014A letter froma Warsaw of the 4th instant says\u2014*' Yesterday evening we narrowly escaped an other massacre.The religious service which bas been held in front of the churches has for some time past concluded with patriotic bymns.Yesterday evening a prodigious crowd was assembled in the Rue Leszuo.They had scarcely begun the first hymn when troops arrived, under command of a general, end the assembly was ordered to disperse.All representations to the general werc froitless; he continued to threaten to fire.Already some fanatics had cried out, \u2018 Weil, then fire ; while the majority were on their knees; when happily some fofluential citizens succeeded in inducing the crowd to disperse, In the cities of the provinces therc is constant agitation.roo frontiers, In & conversation with the Grand Rabbi, General Suchosanett bas tbreaiened to close all churches and synagogues where patriotic hymns con- tibue to be sung.\u201d Eviscorat, Missioxa 1x \u20acmiva.\u2014From the Spirit of Missions we learn that on Sunday, Sept.23rd, v.Me, Syle baptized six Chinese adults, in Christ Church, Shanghai.October 28th, Rev.Messrs.Smith, Thompson and Bchereschewaky, werc ordained pricste by ishop Boone, in the Mission Chapel.November 3d, the Mission there was organized in accordance with Canon 13, section viii.of the largest of Canons.Mr.Spe thinks the organization calculated to work well, November 11th, Bishop Boone confirmed thirteen persona in Christ Church, and the following Sunday Mr.Byle baptized two more adults in the same church, continue to leave for the Austro-l\u2019ruesian | P A CuanactenisTic Act or GanisaLo1.\u2014There is an anecdote in the Italian papers of Garibaldi.A short time since a French merchant vessel was in a very perilous situation in Caprera.The captain being ignorant of the tides ard the shoals, was in an almost b2lpless tate, when, to Lia great relief, n fish.ing-bost came alongside, und a seafuring mau, ina red birt and rough trousers, offered to take the helm and aseist in extricating the vessel from her dangerous position.This, with some hard work, he succeeded in doing.The grateful captain of the merchant vessel proffered money to his preserver, whom he took for a pilot or & fisherman.\u2018lhe latter good- bumourediy refused all remuneration, tating tbat he bad been amply paid by doing agood act.The captain was somewhat surprised ut this, for pilots and fisher wen sre not proverbial in that part of the world for refusing money, or anything else that comes in their way.The captain afterwardz found out, to his great surprise and joy, that the person who had extricated him was the cetebrated General Garibaldi.A Fiunvster.\u2014One man who came on the train was a specimen of many of the classes which fill the ranks\u2014a tall, very muscular, handsome wan, with a hunter's eye, about 3) years of age, brawny shouldered, brown-faced, black-bearded, hairy-banded ; he bad once owned 110 negroez\u2014equal eay, to £20,- 000\u2014but be had Leen a patriot, a lover of freedom, a filibuster.l'irst he had gone off with Lopez to Cuba, wherc he was taken, put in prison, and included amony the number who received grace; next he had gone off with Walker to Nicaragua, but in this last expedition he fell into the hands of the enemy, and was only restored to liberty by the British officer who was aflerward assaulted in New-Orlesns for the part he took in the affair.These little adventures had reduced his stock to five negroes, and to defend them he took up arms, and he looked like one who could use them.When he came from Nicaragua he weigbed only 110 lbs,\u2014now he was over 200 lba,\u2014a Bplendid bete fauve ;

in five minutes the fearless rope-walker would have walked proudly isolated in the centre of the fretted dome, when suddenly a loud thud was heard, like the sound of a buge mufied drum; a shudder ran round the iron-bound galleries and thrilled through the breasts of the audience; for an instant every heart beat quickly and every eye was confused ; and then the ragged strands of the broken tight-rope were seen dangling in mid-air.A sensation of relief ensued when be trifling nature of the accident was understood ; but the audience thought of what would have been the fate of the poor lady had the rope burst asunder a few minutes later.\u2014 London Paper.PuoToGraraixe CoLons.\u2014Tbe celebrated daguerre- otypist, Niepce de Saint Victor, has at laet discovered the secret of reproducing colors by the camera, and rendering them permanent.He has subjected pictures taken by hisnew method for several hours to the direct action of the solar rays, without producing say visible change in tbe tiots.Blue, which has hitberto been regarded as well nigh unattainable in the photograph, is now copied vividly.The same is especially tree of yellow and green.The Paris Moniteur, which brings the intelligence, does not give the process.Tue Frexca EvacraTIoN or Synta.\u2014The ac counts from Beyrout, which comes down to the 16th ult.state that the evacuation of Syria by the French troops commenced on May 30, and was completed on the 10th ult, Iu is satisfactory to learn that, down to the latest dates, tranquillity continued 10 prevail in that part of Syria and in the Mountain.\u2014 Up to the present time, 11,364 miles of submarine telegraph cable have been laid, but only 3,000 ate actually working.The lines not working include the Atlantic, 2,200 miles, the Red Sea and Indian, 3,499 miles, the Sardinia, Malta and Corfu, 700 miles, and the Singapore and Batavia, 550 miles.The joint committee appointed by the Board of Trade to inquire into the best method of covering submarine teiegraph cables, show that the failures in every case are assignable to definite causes that might have been guarded against.They show the reat superiority of India-rubber over gutta-percha or the insulation of submarine wires, and express the opinion that a vessel should be built specially designed for the laying of submarine cables.\u2014 Mrs, Bonaparte Patterson, whose case bas been decided against her\u2018 a second time, with a certain degree of brutality in the terms of the judgment, has decided not to appeal to tbe Court of Cassation, as she ia satisfied that she cannot obtain justice and is unwilling longer to bear the attacks against her character, which each pleading brings out.She bas taken ber passage borne, to America, in the \u201c Fulton\u201d\u201d on the 23d.~\u2014 Mires bas been condemned in the French Court to suffer fivo years\u2019 imprisonment, and to pay a five of 3,000 franca.The other members of the finan- cisl Council des Chemens da Fer bave been acquitted, but Count Simon is declared responsible for the losses by depositors.\u2014 Captain W.Parker Snow, aided by the contributions of a number of his friends, has now determined to go in search of tbe \u201c missing ones\u2018 of former expeditions to the Arclic regions.The vessel urchased for this purpose is of 45 tons register, and was origioally koown, aud is now described in the Government list as the * Truwmvir.\u201d \u2014 little child, evidently of European parentage, and about five years old, was recently discovered in the Delhi poorhouse.She is supposed to be one of the survivors of the massacres of 1857, but as yet she bas not been traced.Inquiry is going on.\u2014 À letter in the London 7Vmes says that all India is ringing with expressions of grateful surprise at the large amounts of subscriptions that bave been \u2018collected for the purpose of relieving the victims of starvation there.\u2014 The feature of the day life now is special services in Hyde and Regent's Parks, by clergymen of the Church of England, who, with the authority of the Bishop of London, court the millions.It is an unusoal thing to see the surplice in the open air, AMERICAN NEWS.Tug DecLise or Porsny 1x ane Uxiten Stares, \u2014Mr.Brownson is warning bis Roman Catholic brethren in his Revieto, thut the Church'' must decline in this country, and dwindle ioto ivaignificance, unless it can atluin & greaterintellectusl power.He says tbat the Church is not growing by conversion half as rapidly as it ie diminishing by perverts ;

they guarded the Court-House during the trial ; they protected the execntion field on the day of the banging.For what was John Brown hang ?For treason.Geo.McClellan bag recently captured a thousand prisoners, ten of whom are officers.Government has ordered him to release them on their taking the oath, Why was not John Brown allow ed to take the oath ?Suppose Massachusetts bad seceded instead of South Carolina, and Wm, Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips had been the leaders of the rebellion.Everybody knows that nothing would have been said about takiag the oath in sucha case.Tho captured Abolitionists would bave bcen bunginstanter.Moral \u2014Fighting for Slavery is justifiable ;

and as it is permitted to the friends of liberty to sympathize with the Poles and to pray for their success, 10 also we trust it may be permitted to us to invoke the blessing of Heaven upon the courageous efforts of the Nea~ politans to throw off ihe alien yoke by which they also are oppressed.\u2014 True Witness, Aug.2nd, The above, which is à fair specimen of tle greater part of the True Witness\u2019 statements and reasonings, has no element of accuracy.Ist.Russia and Poland are quite distinet in race, language and religion, but Piedmont and the Two Sicilies are substantially ove nation in these respects.20d.Poland wes and is unwilling to submit to the Russian yoke, but the Two Siciliea gave auch a welcome to Garibaldi and Vietor Emmanuel, that the large and well-appointed armies of the King of Naples had to flee before his own subjects.There would be no reactionary party aguinst [alien upity in the Two Sicilics but for the gowned and other emissaries of the Pope, {be great troubler of Italy.Tag Resvonsimeity or LawnLorps.\u2014We have an ordioance which we are glad to ses is being revived from its long time desd-letter condition, touching the responsibility of house owners who lease their tenc- meats to be occupied as houses of ill-fame.Under this ofdicance, à well known citizen and boose owner was yesterday arraigned in the Police Court, and & pro~ tracted bearing held.We mention no names in this instance, for the result was an acquittal, the Court finding no reason to believe that the landlord knew the character of bis tenants, and on the contrar it was in testimony that he exercised the strictest vigilance to allow only proper tenants.The instance ia noteworthy as 8 warning to others however, and we are glad to ses & movement in this direction, Thero are citizens calling themoelves respectable, who would nat dare to be seen entering their own houses to collect thelr rents.All such sharing the wages of e should be severely ponisbed, for the necessary lawe exist and have only to enforced.We clip the foregoing from tbe Chicago Tribune, for the purpose of drawing special attention to it in Mon- tresl.Some of our prominent public men rent their houses year after year for brothels and other haunts of vice, just because they can get a larger rent this way than in any other: and, until the landiords of such \u2018establishments are made umrnable to the law, there will ] be but little use in punishing the poor wretches who tenautthem.Werca beavy fine, uader suitable restric- tious, laid upon every buuse 20 occupied, and collected from the owner thereof, whoever be might be, by sale of the house, if necessary, the city would be effectually protected from this nuisance.The Cutsts asp ars Desases.\u2014The N.Y.Observer contains au excellent article Ly & New Jersey Elder, on tle present state of the United States.The writer sux that God bas evidently a controversy with the nation, and is punishing it for national sins.These Le states to be, official and private corruption, luxury, and extravagance, and Sabbath-vreaking.The article veads very much as though slavery had been numbered by the writer among national sins, and had been cut out, for he says :\u2014 ! 4 The large majority of the North have made themselves responsible in all this business, by active co-ope- ration, apologetic excuses, or approving silence, some from love of party, others from love of money, and still another class from timid conservatism, and now we are reaping the bitter fruits of our complicity.Iow are the fortunes (thought to have been securely realized,) arising from such & connection with slavery as rendered necessary at least a tacit endorsement of its abuses and enormities, vanishing like the morning cloud I\" In this paragraph the words \u201cthis business,\u201d needs an antecedent; but we do not find it.The writer then deplores the pride and vain boasting of the American nation, which lhe says ought to be humbled by recent reverses ;\u2014whers there bas been little boasting, \u2014as in Missouri and Western Virginia, ~\u2014there, he says, our arms have met with success.He then goes on 10 suggest, that the nation humble itself, and then resolutely fight to put down rebellion, in humble dependence upon Divine Providence.U.S.Coxriscariox Law\u2014The confiscation bill recently passed by the Senate is an important one, providing as it does, that any description of property em- Ployed by individuals to promote the rebellion against the government of the United States, shall be confiscated wherever found.According to the fourth sections all slaves promoting insurrection, or resisting the laws, shall be discharged from bondage and set free.Dy the provisions of this Act, millions of property are forfeited to the National Government, aud tens of thousands of slaves are lawfully entitled to their freedom.It is a just, rightful and necessary law, snd we trust will pass the Lower Mouse, WILL SECESSION SUCCEED?\u2014CONSEQUENCES UF THE WAR.The question is often asked, \u201c Can the North conquer the South?and if so, Can it continue to hold an unwilling people?\u2019 The answer to both these questions is usually given in the negative, and then the further question arises, \u201c Why {his war at all ?\u2014Wlhy not let the South separate as it wishes to do, and each section of the Union go on in its own way?\" These views are substantially held by most Europeans, and especially by all Englishmen of the Times\u2019 school ; and they are beld by all Southern Americans, and by all Northern Americans of the Buchanan school, Nay, it is believed that a strong party in the present Administration, composed of Seward, Bates and Cameron, favor them.It may be, also, that théy are the most correct views; but the majority of the Cabinet, the great majority of both Houses of the Legislature, (composed at present nearly wholly of representatives of the Free States) the great majority of the people, and the preponderating influence of the press in the Northern States, is in favor of bringing back the seceded States to their allegiance, whatever may be the cost or consequences.Nor do they think that the questions which we have given above, bring out the true state of the case.They believe that the Union feeling is strong in all the seceded States, with the exception of South Carolina, and that it would not take much to cause it to preponderate.The poor whites, who hold no alaves, constitute everywhere the majority, and if thay turo politically against their slavcholding leaders, the next election ia each State would sweep away the present rulers of the South, never more to rise again.Nay, wherever the Union feeling is sufliciently prevalent, as in Western Vir ginia, the people may hold n convention, depose their present rulers, and elect others in their stead, calling upon the Federal Government to sustain them against rebellion in their own State, AI this is strictly constitutional, and it is only, we suppose, in answer to the call fur aid of the State Government elected by Western Virginia, thal the Federal troops can conatitution- ally tread the sacred soil of the Old Dominion, as it is called.One thing is perfectly clear: if the majority of the people in the Southern States get tired of secession and its consequences, they will be at no loss to find a way of getting back into the Union.Nor are thie motives wanting for a return.The mercantile interests all over the South Lave suffered fearfully from secession, and merchants are not usually enamored of ruin.The sugar-growing interest of the lower Mississippi must be very powerful ; and if thoy prefer to belong to the Confederate States, without protec tion, rather than to the United States, with a protection of two cents e-pound, they will be strango men.Then again, the forced enlistment system of the South, making almostevery man of suitable age and strength, & soldicr\u2014whether be will or not\u2014must be felt as a very grievous burden by the people; and the unprotected state of the families left among a slave population without defenders, will be universally felt as even more grievous, All these things, with a crushing load of taxation, forced loans, &c., may be borne in the en- thusiaam of the first outbresk ; but when they continue month after month, with the prospect of going on year after year, ay long «8 Secession lasts, there may be a very sudden and general conversion to Union principles.Une effect of (he cuvrimous debit and taxation which this war will entail, both North and South, will be more apparent by-and-by than it is at present, namely : à desire to escape from them.The British people fled Ly hundreds of thousands from the taxation entailed by the Freuch wars, to countries where land was cheap and taxes light ; and the United States with their future heavy taxation, will cease, in a great measure, to present attractions to immigrants, whilst many arc leaving, and will leave them, to seek fortune elsewhere.Nay, it may be that the Pacific slope will by-aud-by ask itself the question : What have we to do with this Civil War, and the debts and taxes growing outof it?Why should we pay 15 cents on tea, 2 cents on sugar, thirty per cent on dry goods, iron, &c., and three per cent on our whole incomes besides?When these questions are ,gmooted, it will, obviously, require very strong patriotism, and very strong Union feeling indeed, to prevent a Secession of the whole Pacific slope.The fact is, the United States sre now launched on a course, of which no human wisdom can foresee the results.MEETINGS FOR THE SLAVE.Un the first of August,\u2014a day ever memorable in the annals of human freedom,\u2014services were held in thig city, morning and evening, partly commemorative of the emancipation of 800,000 slaves in the British West Indies, on Ist August, 1834, but chiefly to pray for the emancipation of the four millions of slaves now held in bondage in the United States.These services,\u2014under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association, \u2014touk place in the Bons- venture-Hall.That of the morning was a prayer-meet- ing, presided over by Rev.Dr.Wilkes, and very respectably attended ; that of the cvening was also à prayer-meeling; but opportunity was given for addresses bearing upon the topics of the day.The at- tendauce was much larger than in the morning.Rev.Mr.McViear presided, and after the opening exercises of singing appropriate hymns and prayer, addressed the meeting.The Rev.John McVicar, in stating the object of the meeting said it was much to be deplored that a hard feeling should exist against the Northern States, a country peopled by as noble a race of men as lived on the fice of the earth, and whose feelings were not represented by the few newspapers which had been seeking to raise trouble between the States and Britain.It was absurd ou account of bis civil war to say the bubble of American republicanism bad burst; as well might it be said that the bubble of French republicanism had barst on the accession of Louis Napoleon.That feeling still existed there, and to such an extent as to cause much anxiety in some quarters at the present moment.As well might it be said that the bubble of British monarchy bad burst when Charles I.lost his head! Yetseriousevil had come upon the United States and what was the cause of it?Was it republicanism 7 The Noi th distinctly averred it was not, and in attes- tation of their belief, were sending out their sons, and spending their means in tbe defence of the republic.The South as distinctly, and with the same proof of her sincerity, made the same declaration.They also bad established a republic and were defending it.It was not in republicanism but in an evil element of the constitution given to the country Ly the founders of the Republic, that the trouble lay.There was a provision there which gave a certain class of men right of posses- gion in the bodies and souls of their fellows, who should bave à right 1p sever the marriage tie which God made sacred, who should be at liberty to withhold education and the Bible from a certain class of their fellow men whom it called slaves.This was the weak point in that constitution, and the cause of the present difficulty.It became us, therefore, without giving particular sympathy to either of the contending republics, to give it where it was due, to the oppressed race itself; and in confidence in Him who is tbe God of justice and mercy, Wwe were come together to seek that He would soon bring about their deliverance.A hymn was then sung, and the meeting wag thrown open for addresses and prayers.Mr.Dougall said, be had often met with objections to emancipation, which scemed to have much weight with the objectors, but which be thought a little exa~ mination and reflection would set aside.It was often asked, for instance, * where would the money be found to pay for four millions of elaves ?\u201d This question assumed that the slaves were the rightful property of the masters, and could not be set free without injustice to the latter, unless compensation were made; but this was not true.The masters never had, and never could bave, valid or righttul ownership iu the slaves; and the most they could, with any propriety, ask on parting with tbem, would be, to enjoy the fruits of their unre- quite labour already obtuined.The slaves, indeed, might rightfully claim compensation for past services ; the Hebrews did so, when leaving Egypt, and obtained it; but if they were willing to part with their masters even, the latter could have no just claim for any thing more.Desides, whatever the slaveholder lost by emancipation on the money value of the negroes, be would get back in the money value of land, which increased reatly in Free States, as compared with the Slave Sites ; not to speak of his increased security and bap- piness.Another question often recurring was, \u201cWhat will you do with the slaves when you bave set them fres 7\" This question supposes that the freed slaves must be taken back to Africa, or in some way removed froin their present abodes; but no supposition can be more gratuitous.The planters will need Iabor as much after emancipation as before, and the colored race will peed to earn a living a3 much after as before.They will, like white folks, bave to seek and fiod employment, and their former owners will stand as much in peed of them ag ever.The land, the capital and the iabor will all remain much the same after as before emancipation, and ait mutually requir- ng each other ; only the relations of labor and capital will become much more fou healthy, safe, and, upon the whole, productive.Ît was objected that the export of sugar bad greatly fullen off after emancipation in the West ladies; aud the pro-slavery folks of Britain, of whom there were abundance as well as in the United States, hud pointed to this result as conclusive agalost emancipation ; but what wers the facts of the case ?The emancipated slaves, constituting nearly the whole laboring population, if they did not raise so much sugar, raised & great many other things, and clothed and fe and taught themseives mich better than their masters bad done.They consumed much more imported goods, and the imports of the Islands consequently greatly increased, and theses they paid for in some way, if not with sugar.If all tbe people of Canada, half-clad and fed on the coarsest fure, were driven by overseers to cut asd draw timber, the exports of that staple would doubtless greatly increase; but would Canada be better or more prosperous?So it Lad been with sugar in the West Indies; and though a temporary fall in the vaive of property had occurred after emancipation, that had been recovered by the steady progress of population and improvement.Another objection constantly made, was, that the negrocs, if emancipated, would eut alt their masters\u2019 throata, burn all their masters\u2019 property, with other similar atrocities.But neither reason nor history warranted any assumption of the kind.It was oppression and injustice that mede the colored race, or any race, dangerous.Remove these and the danger ceased.The same doleful forebodings had been uttered concerning emancipation in the West Todies ; but instead of bastening, on the 1st of August, 1834, to cut their masters\u2019 throats and burn their property, the emancipated slaves hastened to the churches to sing such a Te Deum as, perhaps, Lever rose from earth before, but which, it was to be hoped, would soon be fur surpassed in the United States.The report of the other addresses delivered at this meeting must be deferred till to-morrow, Rev.John McKillican eaid be bad recently returned from a visit to New England, where the deepest distress and golicitude prevails, on account of tte political troubles, Every family has sent one or more of its dearest members to the war, and intelligence from the scene of conflict is watched for with the most intense soziety, Never, perbaps, did such a spirit of prayer prevail in New England as at present, of confession of sins, of bumbling themselves before God, and of seeking his guidance and support.It would touch any beart to see the intensity of feeling which be bad wit- essed among the Christians of New England, avd to hesr their self-reproaches for so long upholding, 23 a Dalion, that evil institution which they recognized as tbe cause of all their troubles.Indced, the convie- tion was wide-spread, and constantly extending, that if this war does not put an end to slavery, it will bave accomplisbed little or no permanent good.In this state of mind, the religious people of New England feel most keenly any apparent unkisdness où the part of British Christiat 8, to whom they look for sympathy and support, whilst they in like manner deplore and repudiate the folly of many of their own papers.At prayer-meeting which be (Mr.MeK.) had attended, be took the liberty of assuring the brethren that the warm sympathies of the Christians of Britain and Canada were with them in their present struggle with slavery; and after the meeting, many came round, some of them with tears in their eyes, to ebake hands with him and thank bit for his words of good cheer, which they said they very much needed.Having seen these things, he (Mr.McK.) was exceedingly surprised and pained to find the unhappy State of feeling prevailing in Canada towards the Northern States, for which, he was convinced, there was no good cause; on the contrary, he asked the prayers of all in their behalf.A colored young man then addressed the meeting.He stated that bis impressions of slavery were not derived from Uncle Tom's Cabin, or any other source than bis own experience.He knew the horrors of slavery, for the iron rod of oppression had entered bis own soul.He spoke kindly of the oppressors, they were to be piticd and prayed for ; we find in the Scriptures that God addresses not s0 much the oppressed as the opp.res- sor, and be therefore rejoiced that his white friends had met to ask God to interpose, and to influence the minds of the slavehoiders ; we must endeavor to iofu- ence them and emancipation will follow.He then expressed his gratitade to England for what she bad done for bis people; she had cleared her own skirts of human blood by freeing her own slaves, and then warning the nations of the earth against tho abomination of slaveholding.Mr.F.E.Grafton, the President of the Associstion, referred to the great event which tbe day commemorated.Emancipation, be said, had not been effected without thought and prayer, and great labor.The noble men who gave themselves to its accomplishment met with ridicule, hatred and persecution; but for years they persevered, till the nation was brought to feel that slavery must cease ; and the British Legislature decreed {he emancipation of 800,000 men, women and children, at à cost of nearly one hundred millions of dollars.The speaker then went on to draw a parellel between the efforts of British abolitionists and those in the United States.They bad to contend with the same opposition ; but prayer and effort was beginning to move the people, and the number of those who were in favor of emancipation was increasing.He stated that he bad received a letter from a gentleman «t Washington, connected with a governmental department, who, a few years ago, was disposed to be lent respecting slavery, but who now gaid, \u201cslavery must be abolished,\u201d He alluded to the raid of John\u2019 Brown upon Virginia, and to the prayers offered oa the day of hig execution.He believed (hose prayers were being answered, and that present events must be regarded as steps towards the abolition of slavery.He thought the churches of the United States should give tbem- selves to prayer to thatend.He quoted thesaying of Rev.Albert Barnes, that there was no power out of the church that could sustain slavery if it were not sustained in it.He closed by urging upon those present to make emancipation the subject of their daily prayer, and the time would soon come when they shoold rejoice over four million of their fellow-beings cmanci- pated from slavery.After prayer, the meeting was closed by the Rev.Mr.McVicar prononaciog the benediction.GENERAL McCLELLAN.This young officer has had a peculiar preparation for the bigh position which he now holds,\u2014a position second only to Gen.Scott, and, we rather think, second only in name.The American people and the American Congress aro terribly in earnest, and if they can find & young General to lead them to victory, they will employ him as certainly as the French Directory employed tle young Napolcon Bonaparte.\u2014General McClellan, besides having all the advantages of à West Point education, was one of tho American Commissioners to the Crimea, where he saw actual service of the most instructive kind, of which he submitted a report to bis Goverment that raised him to & high position es à military writer.These qualifications pointed him out for à command, in which he went rapidly op, from ose victory to another, till he had rescued Western Virginia from tho Secession forces.But besides being a thoroughly trained and successful soldier, he can be trusted, and this, after all, is the main thing at present in the States.It is more than suspected that (Jeneral Patterson is a traitor, ! AvausT 7, 1861 THE MONTREAL WITNESS.501 and the authorities have been, we believe, several times privately warned that be was playiog a double game.There are grave doubts of Simon Cameron, Secretary of War, who is reported to have made half a-million of money already by uuder-hand connection with army contracts.Nobody speaks against General Scott, but there isan unsatisfactory feeling concerning lim\u2014as, at all events, tou old for active service.General Me- Dowell haa bec already set aside for rasbness and in- cormpetence, and General Lutler has lost the confidence of the North by his Sunday parties and Sunday reviews, The field is therefure clear for one like Me- Clellan, whose knowledge, experience, ability, integrity and patriotism are undoubted.Under these circumstances, auy authentic information concerning this rapidly rising man, whose influence over the future of the United States is likely to be so great, must be very interesting, and we are Lappy to be in a position to give such information.The Rev.Dr.Pufticld, of Detroit, one of tie most eminent and influential minis ters of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, was present ai the lust Sabbath afternoon meeting in the Bonaventure Hull of this city, and being asked to communicate any facts concerning the present war, of interest in a religious or temperance point uf view, spoke in substance as follows :\u2014 Itia a d:licate thing for me, a stranger among strangers, to speak of the war which rages in my own country; but I feel that in such an atmosphere of Christian union and love us this, Fam among Chris tian brethren who will appreciat: details that, in other circumstances, it would be inuppropriate to give.Rev.Dr.Thomson, of Cincinnati, pastor of Gen.McClel- lap, communicated to me the following interesting particulars, which, though only intended for the private ear, may be productive of good, especially amoung the young men whom I sce in this meeting: \u2014 General McClellan is of Scotch descent, and has been brought up with respect for religion; but had never shown any decided resolution to fullow Jesus.After his career of victory in V ro Virginia, he was sud- dealy summoned to Washington to take the command there ; nod had to go round by Cincinnati and Philadelphia, \u2014the more direct roads being interrupted.At Cincinnati be sought an interview with Lis pastor, who asked him: If his rapid ascent bad not made lim ¢# \u201c Rather,\u201d replied he, © [ have been sinking, for I feel myself a lust sinner, anil came to you to ask you what 1 must do to be saved.\u201d Dr.Thomson then faithfully and clearly unfolded to him the only way of salvation, as set forth in Scripture, to which the Gea, gave most earnest heed, appearing to have a spiritual apprehension of the great truths he was learing, At tbe close of this interesting conference, Dr.Thompson and the General knecled together, and the former prayed most earnestly with Lim and fur him, At the close of this prayer, General McClellan rennained upon his knees, cvidently under deep emotion\u2014and Dr.Thomson continued also kneeling, till after about two minutes passed thus in silence, Dr.Thomson laid his Land upon the General's shoulder, and said : * MeCiel- lan, pray for yourself.\u201d Thus encouraged, the young soldivr began in almos: smothered tones to pour out bis soul to God ; and when he rose there was a glow of spi- ritunl life in his countenance.\u201c1 had already,\" said he, i given myself to my country ; but now, I give myself to God, and pray that he will use me for my country's good.\u201d Thus terminated this singularly interesting interview ; and Gen.McClellan hurried to Washington, where he immediately introduced order and discipline ; requiring, not only every man, but every officer 10 be in his place ;\u2014a matter in which there has been a great lack of discipline hitherto in the U.8.army.\u2014 He alo required Congress to pass à law probi g the sale of intoxicating drinks to soldiers, by whic! the cloud of vultures that follows the army will be hindered of their prey.Dr.Duffield added, that General McClellan was only 32 years old, instead of 35, 8a commonly reported, and that it was a remarkable coincidence that this religious young man should be called to command the thousands of religious young men who had been brought to the Lord in the great revival of 1857-58, and who now ha takeu their muskets on their shoulder and their Bibles in their knapsacks to go and fight for their country and\u2014he trusted it would turn out\u2014for the utter destruction of that terrible system of oppression which bad cansed all these troubles, DR.PATTERSON, THE ABORTIONIST.The case of Dr.Patterson has occupied large space in the Montreal press lately ; some papers contending that his sentence of death should be commuted to imprisonment for life, and others that there is no call in this case tor Executive clemency.To this latter view of the case, we observe, the True Witness adheres, though Lis chief reason for so doing sounds strange to Protestant favs.The following paragraph, though couched in the coarse language which is characteristic of our cotempo- rary, contains much truth :\u2014~ \u2018The erime_of child-murder is\u2014this is univeranily admitted\u2014rapidly on the increase, It is a branch, a very Inceative branch, of the medical profession; and though of course one scouted by the respectable practi- tioner\u2014and we have, thank God! many most respectable and high minded-medical practitioners, both Protestant and Catholic in our midst\u2014there is a large section of the medical profession whose services nre as often put in requisition to destroy lifc as to save it.\u2014 A severe example is therefore necessary to deter these unprincipled scoundrels ; and no punishment is 30 ox- emplary, or so efficacious as a deterrent from crime, as is the death punishment when judiciously and consistently inflicted, There are numbers still at large, no doubt, ns guilly as the wretched convict Patterson ; of these, some may yet, let us hope, be entangled in the meshes of the law : hut how to these could the due re- wari of their iniquities be meted out, were the life of l\u2019attergon to be sparcd, and if in his case the gallows were to be defrauded of its most legitimate prey 2° The True Witness goes on to review the arguments in favor of commutation, and adds the following cxtra- ordinary statement of doctrinal reasons for hanging the abortionist, a result which, however, may be arrived at by more legitimate arguments :\u2014 \u201cUnderlying this morbid or rather maudlin sympathy for the \u2018 child raurderer\u2019 or \u2018abortion doctor,\u2019 there is a most important dogmatic question, or question of iboology ; on whose solution depend the soveral views taken of the crime by Protestants and Catholics, res- pectivoly.By the formor it is viewed simply in its physical nspect, and as such it assumes the guise merely of & misdemeanor at worst ; of an offence indeed, but one far less heinous than the murder of the adult.To the Catholic, however, the destruction of the unbaptized child, from the lutler's consequent eternal exclusion from the enjoyment of the beatific vision and the supernatural destiny for which it was designed, appears as the very worst kind of murder imaginable.No un- buptised person can enter the Kingdom of God ; and the abortionist, or child-murderer,deprives the wretched victim of crime, of that Sacrament of regeneration by which at once Ît would have been made a child of God, and an inheritor of (Le Kingdom of leaven, tis this which, in the ¢;es of Catholics, impurts so peculiar an atrocity to the crime of which l'atterson has been proved guilty, and renders lim of all criminals the one least deserving of any clemency, or mitigation of sentence,\u201d The legitimate inference from the above language, is, that the adorable Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, unitedly, cannot save a soul without the administration of à rite by a fallible mortal! (\u2018an any sensible person believe such a docirine ?EDITORIAL ITEMS.\u2014 The attention of readers in the country is cailed to the recommendations of Westcoti's barometers, in the advertising column.Some renrirks of our own ure deferred.\u2014 As usual the telegraphic dispatches from the seat of war are conflictiug; obe says Gen.Butler bas gone | to Washington, another that he bas gone bome.There is evidently a screw joose at Fortress Monroe.\u2014 Mr.Thorburn bas ceased to bold the office of Principal in the St.Francis College, on account of differences between bimself and one vf the Professors.The trustees passed a vote cf confidence in Mr.Tbor- burn, and expressed the hope that his abilities as a teacher would soon find exercise elsewhere.A number of tLe pupils also presented Mr.Thorburn with an ad- dre:s, expressing {heir regret at his removal.\u2014 Mr.Converse's Itope Walk, on the canal, was consumed by fice on Sunday pight.There was no one on the premizes at the time, The fire is supposed to have been originated by lightning, of which we bad such a beautiful display during last nights storm.During the progress of the flimes the lightning was observed to strike in the building repeatedly.The firemen were promptly on the spot, but all their efforts were incffectual, as they bad to draw ile water from the canal, there heing no hydrants within reach of their hose.\u2014 We are informed, that on Monday morning, a wamon was taken to the Montreal General Hospital, suffering from dislocation of tbe hip-joint ; she was put under the influence of chloroform, the smallest quantity being administered, but the pulse suddenly ceased, and \u2014 On Friday afternonn, between 4 and 5 o'clock, the great malo jet of the fountain in Victoria Square was playiog beautifully, throwing up @ large stream of water higher than the Bonaventure building.It was seen and admired by many of the strangers now in the city.This is just the season when the fountains in all the public equares should be kept in operation ; and the jet above referred to might be played a portion of each afternoon.\u2014 The Pilot learas that a demand is to be made on the United States Government by several residents of Montreal, for the dismissal of their sons from the Federal army.The demand is grounded on thelr being subjects of Her Britannic Majesty sud not being of age.Among them is R.C.Garven, 18 years, who was present with his regiment (tbe Seventy-Ninth Higblanders,) at the battle of Bull's Run, who, along with tbe Sixty- Ninth (Irish Regiment,) bore the brunt of the battle.\u2014 The Sherbrooke Gazette of 3d inst., remarks :\u2014 Tha lion.Nr.Galt, we are happy to say, has so far recovered from bis Inmeness, as to enable him to leave town for the seat of Goverament.He departed on Thorsday morning in the Prince of Wales (\"ar, a special train baving been sent for him.\u2014 The Sorel Guzefte announces the death of James Shuter, Esq., a much esteemed aod public minded resident.At his death flags were displayed at balf-mast.His remains were brought to Montreal for interment.\u2014 The Advertiser gays :\u2014In the analysis of copper from Mr.McCaw's location, Eastern Townships, Nr.Robb of this city has discovered one per cent of mer- eury.À similar discovery has been made at the Lon- guenil Smelting Works in tle ore from the Acton mine.These discoveries are of interest as being the firat proofs of the existence of bis metal in the country east of the Mississippi.\u2014 The Quebec Chronicle says :\u2014Su maoy tourists have visited the Falls of Montmorenci, during the present season, tbat the visitors\u2019 book is completely filled up with names.The great majority appear to be Mon- trealers.\u2014 A Sabbath-school pic-nic was hetd in a spruce shade, at Willis\u2019 school-bouse, on the 25th, near Vank- leek Hill.The gutbering was large, and the grounds prepared with much taste.After refreshments, about 300 gathered to hear addresses from the Rev.Messrs.Currie, Blackstock, McNally, Jeffers, McKillican, and the Superintendent of the school, R, Eastman, Esq.Thanks were expressed to the Union in Montreal for the organization of the school sud encouragement given.The school had been prosperous, and many thousands of verses have been recited with much ac.cutacy by even some of the youngest children.The addresses were short and impressive, and we trust an impression for good upon the parents and children will remain.Tho friendaof youth might, by such gatber- ings, do much more than is now done to keep up an|?interest in le country Sabbath schools.Alexander Beston, Esg., presided.\u2014 Com.COMMERCIAL.Montrear Witness Office, Tuesday, Noon, August \u20ac, 1861, Between 5 and & o'clock yesterday afternoon there was a beavy rain storm, the barometer indicating 29.70, At 5} this mm.it stood at 20.85;

iin his arms.GIVING AWAY A CHILD.Oz board one of the lake steamers, bound for the far West, were an Irish family\u2014husband, wife and three children.They were evident] in very destitute circumstances ; but the excoed.ing beauty of the children, two girls and a boy, lady, who had no children of her own, was desirous of adopting one of the little travellers, and made application to the father, through a friend, who gives the following touching, and, as we suppose, truthful account of the negotiation :\u2014 1 proceeded, he says, immediately upon my delicate diplomacy.Finding my friend on deck, I thus opened the affair : \u201c You are very poor.\u201d His answer was very characteristic, \u201cPoor, sir!\u201d said he, \u201cay, if there's a poorer man than me troublin\u2019 the world, God pity both of uz, for we'd be about aquail.\u201d \u201cThen how do you manage to support your ebildren ?\u201d \u201cInit support them, sir?Why, I don't support them any way ; they get supported some way or other, III be time enough for me to complain when they do.\u201d \u201cWould it be a relief to you to part with one of them 7\u201d It was too sudden ; he turned sharply round.\u201cA what, sir?\u201d he cried; \u201ca relief to part from wy child?Would it be a relief to have the hands chopped from the body, or the heart torn out of my breast?A relief indeed! God be good to us, what do you mane ?\u201d \u201c You don\u2019t understand me,\u201d I replied.* If now, it were in one's power to provide comfortably for one of your children, would you stand in the way of its intercsts 7\" \u201cNo, sir,\u201d eaid he; * the heavens knows that I would willingly out the sunsbine away from myself, that they might get all the warm of it ; but tell us what you're drawing at.\u201d I then told him that a lady had taken a fancy to bave one of bis children ; and, if he would consent to it, it should be cducated, and finally settled comfortably in life.This threw him into a fit of gratulation.He rcratohed his head, and looked the very picture of bewilderment.The struggle between a father's love and a child\u2019s interest was evident and touching.At length he said : \u201c 0, murther, wouldn't it be à great thing for the baby ?But I must go and talk with Mary \u2014that'a the mother of them ; an\u2019 it wouldn't be right to be givin\u2019 away her children afore her face, and she to know nothing at all about it.\u201d \u201c Away with you then,\u201d said I, \u201cand bring me an answer back as soon as possible.\u201d In about half an hour he returned, leading two of his children.His eyes were red and swollen, and his face pale from excitement and agitation.\u201cWell,\u201d 1 inquired what success ?\" \u201cBedad, it was a hard struggle, sir,\u201d said be.\u201c Bat I've been talking to Mary, an\u2019 she says, as it\u2019s for the child's good, maybe the heavens above will give us strength to bear it.\u201d \u201cVery well ; and which of them ia it to be 7\u201d \u201c Paix, and I don\u2019t know, sir,\u201d and be ran bis eye dubiously over both.\u201c Here's little Norah\u2014she's the oldest, an won't need her mother so much ; but then\u20140, tear an\u2019 aigers, it's myself that can\u2019t tell which L'à rather part with lesst; so take the first one that comes, wid a blessing.There, sir,\u201d and be banded over little Norab ; turning back, he soatoh- ed her up in his arms, and gave her one long, * May God be good to kim that's good to you, und them that offers you hurt or harm, may their souls never sec St.Father.\u201d Thea, takiox bis other child by the band, he walked away, leaving Norah with me.I took her down to the cabin, and we thought the matter settled.It must be confessed, to my great indignation, howerer, in about an hour's time Esaw my friend Put at the window.As soon as he canght my eye he began making sigas for me to come out.I did so, and found that he had the other child in his arms.\u201c What's the matter now ?\u201d I asked, # Well, sir,\u201d said Le, * I ask your pardon for troublinz you about so foolish a thing as a child or two, but were thinkin't that maybe it'd make no differ\u2014jyou see, sir, I've been talkin\u2019 to Mary, an\u2019 she says she can\u2019t part with Norah, because the creature has a look ov me; but here's little Biddy, she\u2019s purtyer far, an\u2019 av you plase, sir, will you swap?\u201d \u201c Certainly ; whenever you like,\u201d said I.So he snatched up little Norah, as though it was ome recovered treasure and darted away with her, leaving little Biddy, who remained with us all night; but lo! the moment we entered the cabin in the morning, there was Pat making his mysterious signs again at the window, and this time he bad the youngest, a baby \u201c What's wrong now ?\u201d I inquired.\u201cBe the hokey fly, sur, an\u2019 it's meself that's almost ashamed to tell ye.Ye see I've been talking to Mary, and he didn't like to part with Norah, because she has a look ov me, an\u2019 be me soul, I can\u2019t part with Biddy, because she's the model of her mother ; but there's little Paudeen, sir.Theres a lump of a Christian, for you, two Jesrs old, and not a day more he'll never be any trouble to any one; for av he takes after his mother he'll have the brightest eye, an\u2019 av he takes after his father he'll have a fine broad pair of shoulders to push his way through the world.Will you swap again, sir ?\u201d \u201cWith all my heart,\u201d said I; \u201cit is all the same to me ;\" and so little Paudeen was left with me.\u201cHa, ha,\u201d said T to myself, as I looked into RE ; ui a was the admiration of their fellow-passengers.A pis big, laughing eyes, 80 the affuir is settled at But it wasn't; for ten minutes bad scarcely elapsed, when Pat rushed into the cabin without sign or ceremony, and snatched up the baby, and said : \u201cIt's no use; I've been talking to Mary, an\u2019 we can't doit.Look at him, sir ; he the youngest an\u2019 the best of the bateb.You wouldn\u2019t kee; him from us.You see, sir, Norah has a look ov me, an\u2019 Biddy has a look ov Mary ; but, be my soul, little Paudeen has the mother\u2019s eye an' my nose, an\u2019 a little of both of uz all over.No, sir ; we can bear hard fortune, starvation and misery, but we can\u2019t bear to part with our children, nn- less it bo the will of Heaven to take them from us.\u2019\u2014 Exchange Paper.CROOKED SPINES IN GIRLS.BY HELEN C.LEWIS, It is a sad fact, that nearly every young lady in fashionable life has lateral curvature in the spine, This comes on at the age of ten or eleven, and continues slowly but steadily to increase unnoticed by a mother\u2019s watchful eye, till the ohild is really deformed\u2014one shoulder is much larger and higher than the other, and one bip higher, so that the dressmaker is obliged to put cotton in the dress, and to meke the back look flat and square, The boys\u2014their brothers, bave no such trouble ; why ehould they?The question may well be asked to every thoughtful parent.1 answer that improper dress and other physiological errors, in which girls constantly indulge, produce this mischief.The dress of the girl is always tighter than her brother's, and this is begun while she is quite young, \u201cto give her a form,\u201d the mother says, nif God did not do this when he made the child.Thie constant pressure upon the musoles of the spine, which are designed to keep it straight, causes absorption of the muscles, and as the right arm ie used more tban tho Jefc, the epire is drawn under the shoulder blade, thus making it project, The muscles sre co weakened by absorption, they cannot bring the spine back to its proper position and yon have a case of lateral curvature.In addition to this tight dress, I have scen girls of thirteen and fourteen with corsets on.Often these are adopted by thoughtless mothers, in the hope to straighten the child, but under their cruel pressure, the difficulty rapidly increases, till tho poor deformed girl is sent to a spinal institution to be treated.While this difficulty is gradually increasing, the young girl is sent to school, to spend five or aix hours each day bonding overa low desk, and when she returns home, instead of being allowed to play ball or any other active game in the open air, as her brothers are, is placed on a high piano- stool where her toes but just touch the floor, with nothing to protect her back.In this position she must sit one long painful bour.Do you wonder she has a crooked spine?I wobder that any esoape, for all aro obliged to pass through the same killing ordeal.\u2014 Lewis\u2019 Gym- hearty father's kiss, saying through his tears : nastics.Sexy your CHiLL To Ben Harry \u2014Eend your child to bed happy.Whatever ares press, give it a warm good-night kiss, as it goes lo its pillow.The memory of this, in the stormy years which fate way bave in atore for the little one, will be like Bethleheiu's star to the bewildered shepherds.\u201cMy father\u2014my mother Joved me!\u201d Fate cannot take away that blessed heart balm.Lips parched with the world's fever, heart balm will become dewy again at this thrill of youthful memories.Kien your little child before it goes to sleep.Young Men\u2019s Department.IRRELIGION AND DEFEAT.À correspondent, whose communication we are unable to print, brings to our notice the fact, that no attack ia English or American history that commenced on Sunday, bas been successful.To the British movements on Lake Champlain, Lake Erie and Walcheren, our own on Manassas Junction is bow to be added, as a proof, not only of the positive judgments falling on the violation of God's commands, but of the demoralization produced among soldiers by a consciousness of such violation.Conscience makes cowards of men who, under right influences and hopes, would meet death before à battery with a ery of joy.How we succeeded at the Revolution, the following extracts from General Washington's orderly book will show :\u2014 \u201c Col.Washington has observed that the men of his regiment are very profane and reprobate.He takes this opportunity to inform them of his great displeasure at such practices, and assures them that if they do not leave them off they shall be severely punished.The officers are desired, if they hear any man swear or make use of an oath or execration, to order the offender twenty-five lashes immediately, without a Court- martial.For the second offence he will be more severely punished.\u201d Again from the orderly book, Aug.3, 1777 : \u201cThe General is sorry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of profaue -cursing and swearing, a vice heretofore little known in an American army, is growing into fashion.He hopes the officers will, by example as well as influence, endeavour to check it, and both they and the men will reflect that we can bave little hope of the blessing of Heaven on our arms if we insult it by our impiety and folly.Added to this, it is a vice 50 mean and low, without any temptation, that every man of sense and character P| deteeta and despises it.\u201d The following werc his instructions to Briga- dier-Generals, May 26, 1777 :\u2014 « Let vice and immorality ofevery kind be discouraged as much as possible in your Brigade ; and, as a chaplain is allowed to cach regiment see that the men regularly attend Divine worship.Gamblisg of every kind is expressly forbidden, as being the foundation of evil, and the cause of many s brave and gallant officer's ruin.\" \u2014Epis- copal Recorder.RESTITUTION.\u201c The doctrine of restitution is too much forgotten.When men have done wrong to their neighbors, and on true penitence God haa forgiven them, it is yet but just that they should make reparation to the injured party, in all cases where it can possibly be done.This justice requires, and God demands.When a soul is converted to Christ, he will of course mend his ways; and if there are remembered instances of insult or injury, whether recent or more remote, when he can repair the wrong, he is to do it ; and it is the best evidence that God has forgiven his sins, and his heart has been renewed, when he confesses also to men, and hastens to repair the wrong he has donc.\u201d The above, which we copy from the Morning Star, is sound Christian doctrine.A good illus tration of it has lately came to our knowledge.A man from New Eogland, now at work in the California mives, lately, through the influence of preachieg, was brought to see his sinfulness, and to seek forgiveness, but could find no peaco for his soul till he disclosed to the minister that some time ago he defrauded three men in Boston of gmall sums of money, and resolved if God would spare him long enough to earn the money by his daily labor, and restore it, We received the first installment, fifty-five dollars, a fow days ago, and after some hours of searohing, found two of the parties, and gave them their share.One of the men on receiving the money was af- feoted almost to tears, and was evidently strongly impressed with the genuineness of that kind of religion.May it do him good.The other had died, but his widow was in need of money, and was profuse in her expression of gladness and admiration of the mau's conscientiousness, though to neither could we discloso the name of the penitent, Tho third party we have not yet found, but the money will be expended according to the directions.Though it has cost us some labor, we shall not refuse at any time to carry out such practical demonstrations of true Christianity.\u2014 Ziow's Ierald, _ Tnie IMPRAOTICABLE UnDESIRABLE\u2014I know it is common for men to say that such snd such things are perfectly right\u2014very desirable ; but that, unfortunately, they are not practicable, Oh! Do, sir, no.Those things, which are not prac- ticable are not desirable.There is nothing in the world really beneficial that does not lie within the reach of an informed understanding, and a well directed pursuit.There is nothing that God has judged good for us, that be hss not given us the means to accomplish, both in the natural and moral world.If we cry like children, for tbe moon, like children, we must cry on.\u2014 Burke, - Agriculture.AYRSHIRE CATTLE.This modern breed of cattle first became celebrated in Ayr County in the west of Scotland, toward the close of the eighteenth century, How it was made no one is quite able to tell.So late 23 1790, modern writers say to mention was made of it.Durhams, then called Dutch or Holstein cattle, were imported into the country as early as the middle of the last century, by the Earl of Marchmont, it is recorded ; also some Al- derneys were imported thither according to tradition, since which it is said the dairy has flourished.Those familiar with Ayrshire stock faucy they can discover traces of both Durham and Al- derncy blood in the Ayrshire breed.Hence, it is conjectured by some, that the Ayrshire breed of cattle was made of the native cattle, \u2014cattle of the natives crossed with Durhams and Alderneys.The prevailing color, it is claimed, is a reddish brown mixed with white, muzzle usually dark though often of a flesh color, limbs slender, neck small, the head small and well formed, with horns resembling those of the Alderneys, shoulders light, loins wide and deep, skin moderately soft though not delicate to the touch, like that of the improved Shorthorn, of a yellow hue, the muscles of the twist thin or light rump, frequently drooping, but indicative of good milkers; milk-vessels quite large without being flaccid ; the cows are docile, though lively, and subsist on & small quantity of ordinary food.The yearly average of milk from a healthy cow, is said to_be about 00 gallons.The bulls of this breed of cattle have a cux- look, and such are preferred in Ayrshire for stook purposes.The milk of the cows is said to be of an oily, cheesy quality ; and the cows fatten easily when dry, and the beef is well marbled, and of a good flavor.Three gallons cf the milk, says a modern English writer, yield a pound of butter.A cow produces, says the same writer, 5 Ibs.of butter weekly, or 260 lbs.annually, besides what the calf takes.Of cheese, 28 gallons of milk produce 24 lbs.of sweet-milk cheese, or 435 Ibs.of cheese a year.The fair average value of the returns from an Ayrebire cow annually, is cet down at £8 sterling, or about $40 a year.TILLING THE GROUND IN JULY.\u2014Darin dull weather the corn and potato fields should huve the attention of all farmers.Corn fields are usually tilled three times before the middle of July.Some farmers are satisfied with two hoe- ings for the season, but we are well sutisfied that à third hociog is essential to produce a full crop.For when a ficld is once planted and manured the additional Jabor of a third hoeing will always be well repaid by the increased production.A man will hoe av acre in a day.\u2014New England Ps OF THE Horse.\u2014]t is a good sign for a horse to carry one ear forward and the other backwards when on a journey, because thisstretch- ing of the ears in contrary directions shows that he is attentive to everything that is taking place around him ; and while he is going, he cannot be much fatigued, or likely soon to become so.\u2014 Few horses sleep without pointing their ears ay above, that they may receive notice of the approach of objects in covery direction.\u201cWhen horses or mules,\u201d says Dr.Arnott, \u201c march in company at night, those in the front direct their ears forward, those in the rear direct them back, those in the centre turn them laterally or scross; the whole troop seeming thus to be actuated by one feeling, which watolies the general safety.\u201d New Mobk oF GRAFTING.\u2014The new mode of grafting practiced by the French can be performed at any season of the year when sound, mature buds can bo had, whether tho rsp is in & flowing state or not.It is performed by removing a small piece of bark and wood, leaving a smooth and flat surface, to whicha similar piece, containing the bud which is to form the future tree, is fitted, the plate being sealed over immediately with collodion.This forme à strong, impervious cuticle, which secures a freo circulation of sup on the approach of warm weather, and a perfect union of the parts, Tue GRAIN HARVEST.\u2014 Winter grain will be ripe enough for the sickle, or the cradle, by the middle of July.A skilful man with a ora- dle, will cut four acres in a day.A cradle saves much labor compared with a sickle.In very large fields the mower and reaper is used to advantage.Wheat, rye, oats and barley, should be bound in small bundles and put in shooks in the field.The shooks may stand there two or three weeks without ipjury.The grain isthreshed easier than when the shooks are sooner packed in the barn,\u2014 New England paper.SALT vor Cows.\u2014This should be given twice each week while the cows are in pasture, Tt should bo carried out to the pasture and laid in small hesps on the clean grars.If the cow gnaws rome of the grass roots and eats a little earth, it will not burt her.If you lay the salt oo flat stones, they will be sure to waste much of it by the swing of their tongues \u2014 Ib.T ~~ ji Aveust 7, 1861.THE MONTREAL WITNESS.503 \u2014 THE REAPER AND THE FLOWERS.There is a Reaper whose name is Death.And with his sickle keen Lio reaps the bearded grain at a breath.And the flowers that grow between.The Miscellany.4 8ball I bave nought that ig fair,\u201d saith he : % Have nought but the bearded grain?Though the breatli of these flowers is sweet to me I will give them ull back again.\u201d He gazed at the flowers wilh tearful eye:.He kissed their drooping leaves: [¢t was for tbe Lord of l\u2019aradise He bound them ia his sheaves.\u201c My Lord batb need of the flowerets gay,\u201d The Reaper said, and smiled : $ Dear tokens cf the earth are they.Where He was once n child.+ They shalt all bloom in fields of igh.Transplaated by my care, And saigis upon their galents whiz These sacred blossoms wear.\u201d And the mother gave, in tears and pain, The flowers she most did Jove : Lat she koew she would find them all again, In the fields of light above.U, not in cruelty, not in wratl, The Reaper came tha: day: \u2018Twas an Angel visited the gree: rar, And took the flowers away.DISASTERS ON THE ROAD TU VIC- TORY\u2014A HISTORICAL SKETCH.(From the New York Tribune.) Ever since the receipt of the corrected accounts \u2014by which it appears that the disgraceful panic and flight, which coustitute, so far as we are concerned, the alarming «fiir at Bull's Run, and were limited to cowpuratively few frightened individuals, a large part of them teamsters sud spectators, who, not content with running away themseives, sought, by their false and scandalous reports to involve the whole army in the disgrace \u2014erversince the receipt of these corrected accounts, there still remain those upon whom this first disaster casts a shade of sadne:s and slarm, and who see in it a malignant omen to our future success.For the benefit of these doubting Thomases we propose, by a brief retrospect of some occurrences in the wars of the Revolution and of 1812, to show tbat panic, flight, divaster, and a certain proportion of cowards.are to be looked fur in all armics and all wars, and that they farnish no presumption at ail unfavorable to ultimate success.Even at the werld-renowned battle of Bunker Hill, every comwon soldier present at which in the ranks of the United Colonies has been exalted by a grateful posterity and an admiring world, to the rank of a mythical hero\u2014even in that famous battle, cowardice had its representatives in the colonial ranks.The conduct of several officers on that day was investizated by court-martial, and one, at least, was cashiered for cowardice\u2014a precedent which, if sll rumors are true, ought to be followed out in the case of the late panic or flight.An American historian who, in his account of the battle of Bunker Hill, saw fit to state the above fact, was very severely handled for so-doing by certain patriotic critics, as if he had cast a shadow over the glories of the day.But history is written, or should be, not so much to exalt the fathers as to instruct the sons, and the above incident in the battle of Bunker Hill may now, for that purpose, be put to good use.Even the heroes of Bunker ILill, it ecems, had among them a portion of the same leaven which worked so malignantly at Bull's Ruz.About the whole carly history of the Revolutionary War is a series of disasters, interspersed with a fow splendid successes, One of these wes the eapturc of Montreal and the occupation of nearly the whole of Canada by the forces under Montgomery and Araold.But this success was ouly short-lived.Sullivan, though sent with large re-inforcements, and aided by the intrepid valor of Wayne, found it impossible to hold the pro- vinge against the superior forco which the opening of the Spring coabled the British to throw into the St.Lawronce ; and the American army rotreated out of Canada, in the emphatio Words of John Adame, \u201c disgraced, defented, discontented, dispirited, diseased, undisciplined, eaten up with vermin, no olothes, beds, blankets, nor medi- oines, and no victuals but salt pork and flour,\u201d and scanty supply of those.The disastrous defeat at Brooklyn, three months later, made a most slarming impression on Washington's army assembled for the defense of New York.When the van of the British crossed from Long Island and landed at Kip's Bay, the troops posted to guard that landing, panic-struok by the lato disasters, fled without ring a gun.Two New-Kogland brigades, brought up to support them, seized with a like anis, ran away in the most shameful manner, leaving Washington, who had ridden up to view the ground, exposed to capture within eighty paces of the enemy.Then occurred a scene which I wonder that some one of our numerous and gifted artists had not made the subject of a piotare.Greatly exasperated st the dastardly conduct of the panic-struok and flying troops, Washington dashed his hat to the ground exclsm- ing: \u201c Are theso the men with whom I am to defend Awerical\u201d His attendants turned his Borse\u2019s head aud harried him from the field.T'his ocourrence will be found described at length in the Memoirs of Graydon, s Pennsylvania officer, who seems to bave been present at it.Yet the very next day these same men sturdily repulsed the enemy, being spurred up to do their duty by the example of Col.Knowlton and other brave officers, who sacrificed themselves in their eagerness to show the soldiers how to fight.Afterward, in the disastrous retreat through the Jerseys, on the victorious day of Trenton, these very regiments covered themselves with glory, and gained the right of standing by Washington and their country through the worst extremes of defeat sud danger.So also upon the occasion of Burgoyne's invasion of New York, à year or two later.At first, his approach spread terror and dismay cvery- where.St.Clairfled from Ticonderaga in huste and disorder, and the British, purzuing, captured all his baggage and stores.OF three regiments attacked at Hubbardston, one fl-d disgracefully, leaving most of their officers to be taken prisoners.The other two, though they made a stout resistance, were broken and dispersed, and a large number of them captured.After a disastrous retreat, or rather flight, Schuyler collected the troops of the Northern army to the oumber of five thousand men at Fort Edward on the Hudson.But he conld not make à stand even there, and was obliged to con'inue his retreat to the mouth of the Mobawk.The loss of Ticonderaga with its numerous artillery, and the subsequent rapid disasters, came like a thunderbolt on Congress and the Northera States.\u201cWe sball never be able to defend a post \"\u2014so wrote John Adams in a private let- ter\u2014he was at that time President of the Board of War\u2014would on- Board of War had such a head !\u2014 we shall never be able to defend a post till we shoot a General.\u201d Disasters, the uavoid- able result of weakuess, were ascribed to the incapacity or cowardice of the officers.Suggestions of treachery were cven whispered, and the prejudices of the New Englanders against Schayler\u2014 for even the North at that time was divided and distracted by bitter scetional prejudices, of which now, fortunately, hardly a trace remains\u2014broke out with new violence.Bat all this disaster and confusion did not prevent, within two or three months after, the glorious days of Bennington and Bhemis Heights, and the total capture of all Burgoyne's invading army.TELL THE LORD.Uncle Philip was in debt.He was a good | man, and honest, but at this time he owed the sum of fifty dollars.His creditor was a mer-| chant, who had often trusted him, and always been faithfully paid; but it was a time of political excitement, the creditor was interested in the party against which the debtor voted, and an abrupt demand was wade for a settlemcat.Uncle was very willing to seltle, but was now quite unable: it was a season when money was very rosroe ; those who owed him hed notbiog wherewith to pay, und those who would gladly lend him were also without funds, He hoped the merchant, who knew his integrity, would desl Jeniently with him ; but not go, à suit was brought, judgment obtained, and an execution laid upon his furniture.It was a sad day when the sheriff entered uncle Philip's house.Such a thing bad never occurred in the family before.Respectable and respected they had ever lived, and the disgrace and inconvenience of a sheriff's sale, at a time, too, when money was so scarce in the neighborhood, that the furniture would not bring ten per cent.of its value, was a oraclty snd injustice that wrung the good man\u2019s heart.The family eat grief-stricken for some time in a room to which they bad retired when the blow come; at last uncle rose, \u201c Come, wife, come, children,\u201d he said, \u201clet us tell the Lord; and kneeling down, be laid the case before his heavenly Father, committing the affuir to him.When the little group rose from their knees, tho load had passed from cach heart, and the tears they wiped from their cyes were tears of trustful submission.Uncle Philip's bouse had long afforded lodging to the cirouit preacher, and that day the reverend Quest was expected ; 80 aunt went to prepare the dinner, glad that the servant of God could once more be entertained before tuble und bed should be cold.The family were cheerful as usual when the preacher came; why trouble him with distress that he could not alleviate?But as uncle and sunt eat talking with him after dinner, somehow the story camo out.They felt that the good man\u2019s sympathy aud prayers would be a comfort ; busides, he would soon learn it from the public, 80 they told him all.ow strange did it ecem, however, when the preacher, instead of expressing tho expeated sympathy, abruptly rose exclaiming, \u201c Now I know what tbat letter came for\" aud left the room, while uncle and aunt looked at each other in astonishment.In a few minutes he returocd with a letter in his hand, \u201cI should have explained, dear friends,\u201d he said, \u201cbut the joy of being chosen as tho instrument to deliver you from this perplexity caused me to forget oven good manners.To-day I received this letter, and wondered why it was sent to me.It is from a benevolent old lady in New York, sud contaios n fifty dollar chrek, which she requesied me to present to the Lord.It is the exsot sum you need, my brother : take it, and give God thanks.\u201d * Uncle Philip afterwards repaid that fifty doi- lars into the Lord's treasury with double interest ; and to this day, every trial or difficulty that visits his house, whether great or small.is told to the Lord.\u2014 American Messenger.THE CHRISTIAN CONFLICT.President Kirkland, of Harvard College, once remarked satirically of a wealthy clergyman, that he was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fair- ed sumptuously every day, and preached eloquent eermons upon self-denial.There are many Christians, ia vigorous health and in prosperity, who know nothing of the triala of faith and patience to which others are exposed.Look at this mother of a large family, with email meuus und feeble health.The sick child in the eradle is erying.The houschold work, all an- aide, is to be done.There is food to be cooked, clothes are to be washed, garments to be mended, beds to be made, rooms to be cleuned, and a troop of tumultuous children to be restrained end guided in the way in which they should go.The husband, perhaps cold and thoughtless, - never gives his wife a sympathiziog word.\u201d A sick babe keeps her awake at nicht; and, pule and eruaciated, she is scarcely able to drag her limbs along through the toils of the day.Ier nervous system is entirely shattered.She has no recreation, no change.It is the suice weary round, day and night, month after mouth, and year after year.It iseeldom, even, that she can get to the house of God, to have her spirit refreshed bya glimpse of the rest provided for her, when her journey shall end.Why God leads so many of his children through such trials we know not.But beautiful indeed is the aspect of religion, when we see one passing through such valleys of humiliation with a calm and placid spirit.There are many such.\u2014 Christianity has no heroines superior to these.Martyrdom hss no flammes more tryios to faith than these.There are probably no crowns in heaven brighter than those prepared for victors in such wearing, wasting, interminable conflicts.When faith is thus triumphant, and passion is subdued, and the whole #pirit is brought into sut- jection to God's law, we have the highest victory Christianity can give.\u2014Congregationalist.EATING AND SLEEPING.IY DR.HUNTINGTON.Make it a matter of moral principle not to cat to fast, one of the cardinal sins of Americans and of the nineteenth century.Count it no loss, in the end, to take ample time for your meals.\u2014 Health is ono of the forms of wealth, and, what is far better, it is one of tbe noblest conditions of human service.Endeavor always to have agreeable companionship in eating.The more you chat at your table, the less likely what you eat will be to turn itself into your enemy afterwards.Friends at the board make the board friendly.\u2014 Be cheerful there, even if you must be morose elsewhere.It is not skilful strategy to attack your diet with a grim visage.Within the bounds of gentlemanly moderation, pleasantry is the best of all condiments; and an honest, hearty measure of it is never to be confounded with the uohal- lowed levity, the silly simper, or the boisterous uproar of the light-headed, the rude, or the profane.One of the chief mischiefs of the practice of dining at saloons, cating-houses, or hotels, which unforiunately prevails go much in our mer- eantile communities, is, that it puta cach individual into a practical solitude at the table, separates him from bis next neighbor, who is a stranger, and leaves all the cares and anxieties of his business to troop and trample through his mind, neutralizing the nourishment be swallows, and making but a melancholy mastication.It! has been tho wisdom of wise nations from the beginning to render their meals genial and social, The old generations knew what they were doing when they employed jesters to stic up entertainment while they chewed and assimilated their viaods.Forget all emulations and competitions, all bad debts and pending bargains, all wrath and variance, all uskindness from man or women, aod every other disturbing thing.Eat in perfeot charity with all men, cat at jour ease, eat at leisure, cat not like beasts that snatoh at their fodder, or sullenly consume it, as if the only satisfaction about it were that you have got it away frota the rest of the world.The refinement and cheerfulness of the table are one mesure of tho dignity aod progress of civilization.Be persuaded otto arond the consumption of a meal into five minutes, or ten, or fifteen.You may endure that for a while, bat natore will certainly take ber vengeance upon you in pains and infirmities, sooner ot later.My next point is sleep.A great many youog men, without the least idea of what they are doing, arc planting the seeds of disease in their constitutions by not knowing how to sleep, Sleep colleots and treasures up vital power.To deprive one's self of it is to hasten consumption, e are all aware, perhaps, that the sleep tuken in the earlier part of the night is more refreshing and iovi- gorating, both to the body oud the mind, than what is taken in the latjer part.So that we never make nature a fair compensation, when we undertake to equare accounts, for sitting up inordinately late at night, by Iying abed inordinstely firet good man I fiod in difficulty, ouly requiring that, if over he is ablo, he shall repay it to the late tho next morning.Such sleep may bave ! some value, bat not the natural vale of what we lost.It would be exceedingly desirable that every «ne of us should be asleep for the night at ten o'clock, or half-past ten at the latest.That practice would soon multiply the vigor, and lengthen the lives of our community to a very perceptible Cegree, Low difficult it is to carry out any such rule, in the present customs and arrangements of social life, many of us know very well; and the difficulty is increased in proportion as we are entangled with these customs.1 will cheerfully pay an cighth part of my salary to the man that will make it practicable for me to go to bed at ten o'clock.In early life you have better facilities than you will have afterward for forming right habits in this respect.All you want is a little firmness at the beginning, and some temporary self-denial, for the sake of a permanent gocd.That is a poor kind of pleasure which asks the sacrifice of health ; and the dissipation that runs far into the night is a double curse,\u2014on the body and on thesoul.But perhaps literary aspiration, or some other honorable motive, induces you to sit up late.Necessary occupation engrosses all the day, and if you are to get knowledge you must get it after the proper bedtime.But here sgain the laws that God bas written on your frame are not to be circumvented.Any special attainment that you may acquire by defrauding the just claims of sleep is robbery.Too much has been written in praise of \u201c midnight oil ;\" that oil is as fatal as the oil of tansy.You may not feel the effects next day, in languor, headache, or a stricture about the eyes,\u2014or you may.But the consequences are not finally eseaped.\u2014 Thayer's Home Monthly.SMOOTH STONES TAKEN FROM ANCIENT BROOKS Poor men do not live upon themselves, they live upon others; they live upon the care of others, the love of others, the provision of others ; and thus a humble soul lives upon the care of Christ, the love of Christ, the promise of Christ, the faithfulness of Christ, the discoveries of Christ.The scarer any soul draws to God, the more humble will that soul lie before God.None so near God os the angels, and none so humble before God 2s the angele.God scatters giftless gifts, the honors, riches, \u201cand favors, of this world, up and down among the worst of men ; but as for his gold, his Spirit, his grace, bis Son, his favor, these are jewels that he only casts into the bosoms of eaints, and that because he dearly loves them.Much of a Christian\u2019s spiritual strength lies in secret prayer, as Samson's did in his bair.Nothing disarms Sstan and weakens sin like this.Secret prayers are the pillars of emoke wherein the soul accends to God out of the wilderness of this world.Secret prayer is Jacob's ladder, where you have God descending into the soul, and the soul sweetly asccadioz to God.Secret meals are very fattening, and sceret duties are very soul-coriching.He that drew Alexander whilst he had a scar upon his face, drew him with his fioger upon the scar.So when the Lord comes to look upon a poor soul, he lays bis finger upon the scar, upon the infirmity, that be may see nothing but grace, which is the beauty and glory of the soul.The Canaanitish woman, ia tbe 15th of St Matthew, sets a high price upon a crumb of mercy.\u201c Ah! Lord,\u201d says the humble soul, \u201cif I may not have aloaf of mercy, give men piece of mercy; if not a piece of mercy, give me a crumb of mercy.If I may not have suniight, let me have moonlight : if not moonlight, let me have starlight ; if not starlight, let me have can- dic-light; and for that I will bless thee.\u201d Faith will pick an argument out of a repulse, and turn discouragements into oncourazements.CHRISTIAN TREABURY.\u2014TIIE GARMENT.(From Sacramental Meditations, by Rev.Jas.Smith.) it Where cro putting away lying, spcas every man truth with his ncighbor : for we are metubers ont of another.\" Ephes.iv.z Every Christian should be truthful.Many professors we know are not.Some jest with lies, sud lie in jest,\u2014this is wicked.Some exaggerate, and so misrepresent, \u2014tbis is sinful.Some lie in business, for the sake of gain, and so deceive the ignorant and unwary,\u2014 (his ig iniquitous, \u2018The exhortation is, 4 put away lying,\" sud put it so far away that it may never be found again : \u2018* speak every man troth wit bia neighbour.\u201d Do jou speak of a friend ?Be sure what you say is trath.Do you speak of an euemy, or one against whom you are prejudiced ?Be doubly careful, the temptation may strong to conceal something, er to give a colouring to something, speak only 1h truth, Do you relate an occurrence 7 Do it correctiy.Do you state a fact?Do it precisely.Speak the truth always, on every subject, to every one.When God speaks of the seven things that are abominable to him, He places lying second, \u201c À proud look, a lying longue.\" Speak the truth lovingly if possible.member, no lisr goes to heaven.All liars sboll have their portion in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone,\u201d Oh that wo may all be 20 taught of God, and so te semble the God of truth, as to say with David, \u201c1 hate and abhor lying.\u201d Some wre specially tempted to this sin ; such should daily pray against it, set a watch before their mouth, and whenever they fall into it, confess it before (ind with shame and sorrow, imploring forgivences, and the renewing of tbe Holy Ghost.Lord, make me strictly truthful, in all Leay, in all [ do, wherever 1 am.May 1 aver speak a3 in the presence of the (fud of truth, sud as one that must give an account to God for every lying word.\u201c ly they are my people, ehfldren that will ot ey heir saviour\" Taalah Lai, & ! i ! 1 ee pn 504 BY TELEGRAPR.'
