A Baptistery has recently been erected in the
meeting house of the Columbus, On., Baptist
Church, and Elder J. H. DuYoti? the Pastor, has
had the pleasure, on two successive Sabbath eve
nings, of leading two young ladies into the Bap
tismal waters. The scenes were solemn and im
pressive., and were witusssed by large auditories.

permit me to give the renders of the Index, an se

attending this year, commencing about the first of
August. Since that time 16 members have, been

to Whites Creek by baptism, 7 to Bethlehem by
baptism, nnd 1 by letter (in all 3;) and Sardis
church 27 by baptism, and 5 by letter (in all 32;)
this ehur-b bad long b*-en in a cold state, the
brethren in !i these churches have been muoh re

were convicted t’ue same night, obtained pardon
within a few minutes <>t each other and joined the

The Honey Guide.
It is not always easy to discover the natural hives
of wild bees. There are, however, two or three
active iittle guides, which are of great service to
those who are in search of honey. One of these,
found in South Africa, is a bird called the honey
guide. It is about the size of a chaffinch, and of
a light gray color. Mr. Camming, in his “Ad
ventures in South Africa,” tha-* describes the curi
ous habits of this bird :
“Chattering and twittering in a state of gTeat
excitement, it perches on a branch beside the trav
eler, endeavoring by various wiles to attract his
attention; and having su<?ceedd in doing *o, it
flies lightly forward in a wavy course in the di
rection of the bees’nest, alighting every now and
then, looking back to ascertaiu if the traveler is
following it, all the time keeping up an incessant
twitter. When at length it arrives at the tree or
deserted white ant’s hill, which contain* the honey
it for a moment borers over the nest, pointing to
it with its bill, and then takes up its position on a
neighboring branch, anxiously awaiting its share
of the spoil. When the honey is taken, which is
accomplished by first stupefying the bee* by byrn
tog grass at the entrance. of their aest, the hdoey
bird will often lead to a secoud and even to third
nest. The person thus following it, generally
whistles. The wild bees of Southern Africa ex
actly correspond with our domestic garden bee*.
They are very generally diffused throughout every
part of Africa, bees wax forming a considerable
part of the cargoes of ships trading to the gold
and ivory costs, and the district of Sierra Leone,
on the western ehores of Africa.”
Mode of Choosing Presidents,
The following which w take from u ex
ckahge, though secular in its character, will throw
much light upon a subject not well understood by
all readers. We would take pleasure in giving
our reader* many articles of a similar hind did it
not trench upon our limited space for religious
matter;
“The President i* chosen by ejector,,, meeting
for the purpose, not in a large general Conven
tion, but in small assemblies at the State capitals.
The electors in each State are equal in number to
the Senators and Representatives in Congress of
each State, as they are chosen on the Tuesday
next after the first Monday in November, of the
years of Presidential elections, la ail the States
except South Carolina, they are chosen by the peo
ple; in that State by the Legislature. No member
of Congress, nor any person holding an office of
proSt or tru9t under the government of the United
States, can be an elector. These electors are ta
ken from private life, for this specific purpose, and
having performed it their office ceases. This pro
vision is designed to prevent the influence of the
existing administration over the electois—to keep
the election as far as possible from the control of
the government, which, if it had nearer access,
might, with the greater facility, perpetuate its pow
er. The aim of the provision is to secure an un
biased expression of the popular will. These dec
tore meet on the first Monday in December, in
their respective States, and vote by ballot for Pre
sident and Vico President, one of whom is not
to be an inhabitant of the same Slate with the
electors. The result of those baliotings are trans
mitted by special messengers to the President of
the Senate at Washington, and oo the second
Wednesday in February, the votes are counted in
the presence of both Houses of Congress. The
person found to have the greatest number of the
votes for President, given by the electors, is de
dared to be chosen, if he have the votes of a ma
jority of all the electors appointed; if, however, go
person is found to have such a majority, then the
House of Representatives from the persons not ex
ceeding three, having the highest number of elec
toral votes, is to choose a President by ballot—the
votes to be taken by States, and the represetative
from each State to have one vote only. Thus in
the present election, should Mr Buchanan, Mr.
Fremont and Mr. Fillmore all have electoral votes
but neither of them a majority, then the election
would go to the present Hou?e of Representires,
who must choose a President from those three
men, the House voting by States, and the one
vote ofßhode Island counting as much as the one
vote of New York. At the Presidential election
of 1824 there was no choice by the doctors, Messrs
Adams, Jackson, Crawford and Glay being the
candidates, and Mr. Adams was chosen as above
named by the House.
“The Vice President is cuosen just ns the Pres
ident, that in a failure of a choice by the electors,
the Senate chooses the Vice President from the
two highest on the list, and no person constitu
tionally ineijible to the office of President can be
Vice President.—Richard M. Johnson was chosen
Vice President by this process, in 1837.”
Modification of Climate.
The two great influences which govern the cli
mate of a country, are first, its latitude, and sec
ond, its elevation. Other things being equal, the
nearer the latitude approaches to zero, the hotter
will be its climate; but, as elevation has a refrig
erating influence proportionate to its amount, it
follows that the interposition of mountains will de
crease the heart. Therefore the isotherms! lines,
or line, of equal temperature, will not coincide
with the parallels of latitude, but will fall abovo
and below them; curving and recurving, as the
surface of the country becomes varied by moun
tains and plains.
In addition to the two, there wre other import
ant secondary influences brought to bear, which
produce a still wider divergence of the isothermal
lines and the parallels of latitude. Among the
most conspicuous of these may be mentioned the
ocean, and the serial currents. Water which cov
ers a large portion of the surface, and the ntmos
phere which surrounds the earth, are never at rest;
but being disturbed by differences of temperature
and other causes, they are perpetually flowing and
re flowing between the colder and the warmer
portions of the globe, imparting in their course
the modifying influences of heat and cold. Thus
the Gulf Stream, which flows to the northward,
carries the warm waters of the Torrid Zone for up
wards towards the Pole, while Arctic current* bring
down from the regions of eternal frost, the huge
iceberg and the chilled waters, to cool down the
fiery ardor of the tropiccal sun. The trade winds,
flowing in towards the equator from the north and
south, aid in this important work, rendering cli
mate between the tropics endurable.
A perpendicular elevation of three miles within
the Torid Zone, brings us to the region of perpet
ual snow; and as wo reoedo from the equator eith
er North or South, that point becomes depressed.
In the latitude of 45 deg. the point of perpetual
congelation falls to a mile and a half, while at or
near the pole, that point descends to thede-vel of
the sea. Os course the vegetable production* of
the temperature, and even of frigid e’imes, can be
found at certain elevations within the tropics
The Splendors of Morning.
In the address on the ‘ Uses of Astronomv,” re
cently delivered at the dedication of the Dudley
Observatory, by Edward Everett, occurs the fol
lowing beautiful eloquent passage:
“Much, however, as we are indebted to our ob
servatories for elevating our conceptions of the
heavenly bodies, they present even to the unaided
sight scenes of glory which words are too feeble to
describe. I had occasion, a few weeks since, to
take the early train from Providence to Boston,
and for this purpose rose at two o’clock in the
morning. Everything around was wrapt in dark
ness and hushed in silence, broken only by what
seemed at that hour the unearthly clank and rush
of the train. It was a mild serene, mid-summer’s
night, the sky was without a cloud, the winds
were whist. The moon, then in the last quarter,
had just risen, and the stars shone with a spectra!
lustre, but little affected by her presence. Jupi
ter. two hours high, was the herald of the day;
the Pleiades, just over the horzon, shed their
sweet influence in the East; Lyra npaikled near the
zenith; Andromeda veiled her newly-discovered
glories from the naked ye in the South; the stea
dy pointers for beneath the Pole, looked meekly
up from the depth* of the North to their sover
eign.
Such was the glorious spectacle as I entered
the train. As we proceeded, the timid approach
es twilight beeara* sore perceptible, the MtMM

blue of the *kv began to soften; the smaller ur*
like little children, went flr*i to reel; the sister
beams of the Pleiades *oou melted together; but .
the bright constellation* of the North and West i
remained unchanged. Steadily the wondrous
transfiguration went on. Hands of angels hid- j
i den from mortal eye* shifted the scenery of heav- j
i eo; the glories of night dissolved into the glories j
!of the dawn. The blue sky now turned more j
i aoftly gray; the great watch star* shut up their ;
I holy eyes; the East begun to kindle. Small <
! streaks of purple soon blushed along the sky; the ;
whole celestial concave was fi led with the inflow- )
ing tides of the morning light, which came pour- ;
iug down from above in one great ocean of radi- ■
eoee; till at length we reached the Blue Hills, i
flash of purpie fire biaxed out from above the j
horizon, and turned the dewy tear-drops of flower j
and leaf iaio rubies and diamond*. In * few sec j
ends, the everlasting gais= of the morning were ;
thrown open, and the Lord of day, arrayed iuglo- \
risa too severe for th* gaze of man, began hi* j
course.
I do cot wonder at the superstition of the au- !
crient Mtigiaus, who in the morning of the world
went up to tire hill tops of Central Asia, and igno
rant of the true God, adored tb* most glorious
work of his hand. But lam filled with amaz*-
nient, when I am told that in this enlightened ag^ t
tad in the heart of the Christian world, there ate
persons who can witness this daily manifestation
of the power and wisdom of the Creator, and yet
say in their hearts, ‘Thera is no God.’”

Enormous Serpents. —The largest serpents ev
er exhibited in this country, were brought a few
weeks since, in a ship direct from Africa, and
were immediately purchased at % large price for
Barnum’s Museum. They are tbe real African
Boa Constrictor, beside which the A r acondas of
South America look small and harmless. The lar
gest has a body of the size of a man’s thigh, and
is thirty feet long, having the strength to crush an
ox in his gigantic folds. Specimens of the serpent
tribe as largo as this are very rare, in the Zoolog
ical gardens of London or Paris.
Eloquence. —Eloquence consist* in feeling a
truth yourself, and in making those who hear yon
feel it. Oratory is not vociferation; it is not stamp
ing a hole in the platform, nor heating all the
dust out of the cushion of the pulpit; nor tearing
off your coat tail in the violence of your gesticu
lations, ala Gavazzi; it is not holding the breath
until the face is purple and the eyes bloodshot; it
is not hissing through the teeth like the fizzle of
a squib, nor crouching down, then bounding up
wards like a wildcat springing upon a possum, nor
ranting about from one side of the rostrum to an
other until the skin is drenched in perspiration,
and the body weakened into helplessness ; you are
not eloquent in al! this, uoless it bo for the grave,
for it ia suicidal
A Few Route to California. —The great scheme
of the Honduras Railroad Company, with a capi
tal of $10,000,000, under a British charter, is a
bout to be brought out under the most favorable
auspices. The Directors are divided between En
gland and the United Stales, and some of tbe
most influential firms give countenance to the pro
ject, and appear in the directory and as ageDts to
procure subscriptions. Tffc difference of distance
between New York and Ban Francisco, as com
pared with the Panama route is 1103 miles, and
the difference from Liverpool to San Francisco,
touching at Kingston, Jamaica, is 831 miles. It
is estimated that, at the present rates of speed by
steam and rail, tb* time between New York and
San Francisco, can be accomplished in thirteen
days, four hours, and that steamers can be built,
and with increased railway speed, the time can be
reduced to eight days, sixteen hours. The accom
plishment of this work will bring San Francisco
within speaking distance of New York.

Libsralty of Physicians.
It has always been said that physicians would dis
parage any remedy, how ever valuable, which they
did not originato themselves. This has been dispro
ven by their liberal course towards Dr. J. C. Ayer’s
preparations. They have adopted them into gener
al use in their practice, which shows & willingness to
countenance articles that have intrinsic merits which
deserve their attention. This does the learned pro
fession great credit, and effectually contradicts the
prevalent erroneous notion that their opposition to
proprietary remedies is based in thoir interest to die
i card them. We have always had confidence in the
; honorable motives of our medical men, cud are glad
to find it sustained by the liberal welcome they ac
: cord to such remodies as Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral and
Cathartic Pills, even though they are not ordered in
the hooks, but arc m* !e known to the people through
, the newspapers.—New Orleans Delta.

“Sever, since tho days of George Whitfield and
Edward Irving, has any minister 01 religion acquired
so great, a reputation in so short a time. There is no
man in Great Britain who can draw such immense
audiences; and none who, in his happiest effort?, can
so completely enthral the attention and delight tlie
minds of his hcarc-r Correspondent of the Indepen
dent.
“What the Jenny Lind furore -nm in the musical
world, the Spurgeon mania seems to tic in theCalviu
istic one; for wherever the young declamatist goes,
people crush to hear him with a suffocating, elbowing,
almost fighting vehemence, amusing enough, if you oe
sufficiently high, to overlook the crowd, but very
choking and alarming if you should yourself be in
the midst of the melee. Tho latter was my’ case or,
Tuesday evening last, and I write with ribs sored and
wrists bruised in my efforts to reach Broad mead
Rooms, but onlv too thenkfu! that I over get eul
with my life.- -Bristol [Any.] Paper.
