4k Timely Appeal.
Our Tennessee exchanges contain the follow ing
earnest appeal, addressed by the Central Execu
tive Committee of the Constitutional Union Party
in that State, to their fellow citizens, in view of
the pending political complication of the present
time :
TO THE TEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES.
The undersigned, the Central Executive Com
mittee of the Union party ol the State of Tennes
see, deem it proper, under existing circumstances,
to address a few considerations to their brethren
of the United States, especially those of the North
ern States, founded upon the current progress of
the Presidential canvass.
From the results of the recent elections, from
all the information which, from their position, they
have been able to obtain—from every indication,
indeed, they are satished that Bell and Everett will
receive the electoral votes of a very large majori
ty of the Southern States. Nothing, as it seems
to them, short of some powerful and unforeseen
action, can disappoint this expectation. In view
of such a result, it becomes a matter of gravest
moment to conservative Union men in the North,
of all shades of opiniou, to consider whether it is
not their duty, at once, to close up in solid columnl
and, by adopting this ticket, put an end to the
struggle. This they do, under the banner of the
Constitution, without any compromise of loyalty
to party, and save the country from discord, from
the hizard of sectional ascendency, and, perhaps,
from cival war. If all the men of the North who
love the Union and the peace of the country more
than party would, at once, give thoir co-wpi-ratlon
to the fiioud* of He it and Everett in the South,
there is not a doubt but they would bo triumphant
ly elected by the electoral colleges. Under ordi
nary circumstances, such even partial sacrifice of
party devotion could not be expected, nor would
i it be asked.
But the present is unlike any contest in the
whole history of the Republic. Never before was
the spirit of sectionalism in the North and the
South so strong, so threatening, and so utterly in
tolerant. There can be no truce or peace between
the extremes. They are powerful for mischief,
but impotent for good. To check either, or both,
the Government must pass into the hands of those
who are governed by more moderate and nationa
counsels.
No doubt thousands of good men at the North
have been upon a balance, as between a choice of
1 evils. They have hesitated which side to take in
| the war of the sections ; they have seen no avail-
I able middle ground; they have been ready for
j compromise and conciliation, and longed for peace
and Lannony, but have looked in vain for the
I means of their attainment; they have felt that
the election of Mr. Lincoln would be regarded as
an insult by the South ; that the election of Mr.
Breckinridge would but increase the fanatic fury
I of the North ; and that the election of Mr. Doug-
I las would not give satisfaction to the country. It
is to these especially that an appeal is now made.
Is it not true that Mr. Lincoln is a sectional can
! didate, and that the doctrines of his party are re
i pelled, unanimously repelled, by the .South ? Must
j he not be elected, if at all, wholly by the North,
and will not the division into geographical parties,
I so much deprecated by the Father of his Country,
be then complete? In such an event it is in vain
to hope that Mr. Lincoln will have any support
from the South. By none will his Administration
be more than tolerated. If his rule should be ac
quiesced in, it will be with a sullen bitterness prog
nostic of future evil. And how would it be at the
North should Mr. Breckinridge be elected upon
the platlorm propounded by his followers ? Would
the war be at an end ? the Northern Bectional
party would but feel the eager thirst for renewed
contliot, consequent upon temporary overthrow.
They would find continuous nutriment in the ac
tion and exultation of their opponents. They
would sustain themselves, and even grow, by ap
peals to their Northern brethren upon their section
al defeat. And thus, in cither event, the evil day
would be only postponed, if postponrueut were in
deed possible.
But there is good reason to believe that an avail
able middle ground has now been found. That
which first appeared as a mustard seed is now be
coming a great tree ; that which first appeared as
the cloud of the prophet, no bigger than a man’s
hand, is now covering the whole Southern heaven.
| The names of Bell and Everett have become a tow
er of strength, to which thousands arc Hocking for
refuge. Iu their election there would be a truce
: to sectional warfare, and peace might be expected
i once more to smile over a distracted and divided
country. Those of the South who are supporting
| the Union ticket are doing so upon grounds above
all sectionalism, and thousands will rally to it who
i have ever ditfered Irom Mr. Bell on party grounds,
1 and who still differ with him upou many questions
of national poliey. They feel that the Union is in
imminent peril, and that ail minor considerations
should be sacrificed to its security. The under
signed, expressing their own opinions and the opin
ions of all thoughtful and considerate men in the
South, believe that the Union is in imminent peril,
aud they believe that, with the aid of the conser
vative men of the North, this peril may be averted.
The South waves to the North the olive branch of
peace. She asks to be mot on national grounds.
Let the North and the South, in spite of the ex
tremes, proclaim “The Truce of God,” and may
it be followed by a peace that shall be everlasting!

Condition of tub Baptujj Denomination. —Tlc
Baptist Almanac for the year ISOI, has jnat made
is appearance. It contains much interesting in
formation regarding the present condition of the
denomination. .From the table of “Grand Total
of Regular Baptists in North America,” we learn
that the number of Associations in the United
States is 571> ; number of churches, 12,361 ; or
dained ministers, 7,837 ; licentiates, 1,115 ; bap
tized in 1859, 72,086 ; total, 1,020,442. The num
ber of Baptists in Novia Scotia is 13,057 ; in New
Brunswick, 7,703 ; in Canada, 13,713 ; West India
Islands, (estimated) 36,350 —makmg a grand to
tal in North America of one million and ninety
one thousand one hundred and sixty-seven regu
lar Baptists. Os other denominations practicing
immersion, the Almanac sets down the Anti Mis
sion, at 00,000 ; Free-Will Baptists, 59,691 ; Six-
Principle Baptists, 3,000 ; Seventh Day Baptists,
0,577 ; Church of Cod, or Winebrcnarians, 12,850;
Disciples or Campbelites, 850,600; Tunkers, 9,2(*0;
Mennonites, 36,230. If these are added to the
above, it will make 1,618,815 who give in their ad

Listen to (lie Loimsclx of
JctfYrson and Jackson.
The unity of government which constitutes you
one people, is also now dear to you. It is justly
so ; loe it is a main pillar in the edifice ot your
real independence, the support of your tranquility
at home, your peace abroad, of your safety, of
your prosperity, of that very liberty which you so
highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that
from different cause?, and from different quarters,
much pains will bd Liken, many artifices employed
to weaken in yotir minds the conviction of this
troth—as this is the point in your political fortress
against which the batteries of internal and exter
nal enemies will bd most constantly aud actively
(though often covertly and insidiously) directed —
it is of infinite moment that you should properly
estimate the immense value of your national union
to your collective and individual happiness ; that
your should cherish a cordial, habitual, and im
movable attachment to if, accustoming yourselves
to think and to speak of it as a palladium of your
political safety and prosperity; watching for its
preservation with jealous anxiety ; discountenanc
ing whatever may suggest even a suspicion that it
can in any event be abandoned ; and indignantly
frowning upon the first dawning of every attempt
to alienate any portion of our country from the
rest, orto enfeeble the saered ties which now link
together the various parts. WASHINGTON.
The lessons contained in this invaluable legacy
of Washington to his countrymen, should be cher
ished in the heart of every citizen to the latest
generation ; and, perhaps, at no period of time
could they be more carefully remembered than at
the present moment. For when we look upon
the scenes that are passing around us, and dwell
upon the pages of his parting address, his paternal
counsels would seem to bt, not merely the off
spring of wisdom and foresight, but the voiee of
prophecy foretelling events and warning us of the
evii to cuine. JACKSON.
If there be any among us who would wish to
DISSOLVE this UNION, or to change its republi
can form, let them stand undisguised, as monu
ments of the safety with which error of opinion
may be tolerated, where reason is left free to com
bat it. JEFFERSON,
If the UNION is once severed, the line of se
paration will grow wider and wider, and the con
troversies which are now debated and settled in
the halls of legislation, will then be tried in
fields of battle, aud determined by the sword.
JACKSON.
We must have patience and long endurance
then, with our brethren while under delu-ion.—
Give them time for reflection and experience 01
consequences ; keep ourselves in a situation to
profit by the chapter of accidents —and separate
from our companions only wheu the sole alterna
tives left, are the dissolution of our union with
them, or submission to a government without limi
tation of powers. J EFFERSON.
Leave your friends and stand by your Country !
JACKSON.
The Enion : It must be preserved !
JACKSON.
Childrens Faces.
It is interesting to study human nature in chil
dren’s faces, to see the effect of different modes of
education upon divers developments of mind end
body. Many children look sour, wilful and uglv ;
whilst others look happy, pleasant and sweet, as
children should. Much as perfect or diseased phy
sical natures, proper or improper diet may have to
do in producing these appearances, home discipline
and example, as a general thing, have more.—
Mothers do not realize that they fasten their own
feelings, so far as expressed in their countenances,
upon the faces of their offspring. She who scowls
and frowns habitually, must not expect her child
to look joyous, but gnarled and surly. Like moth
er, like child ; only she who sows the wind in the
heart of her daughter, may expect to see the
whirlwind gather and burst forth, as our harvests
are generally more plentiful than the seed we
scatter. Select a very pleasant-looking child, and
notice if it have not a pleasant-looking mother,
one who answers many of its thousand and one
questions with a warm-loving smile, instead of
turning away the inquiring mind and [retting at
its endless teasing.
A Word io VS oilier*.
Consider it your religious duty to take out door
exercise, without fail, each day. Sweeping and ;
trotting round the house will not take its place ;
the exhileration of t.he open air and change of
scene are absolutely necessary. O, I know all
about “ Lucy’s gown that is not finished,” aud
“ Tommy’s jacket,” and even /tie coat, his button
less coat, thrown in your lap, as if to add the last
ounce to the camel’s back ; still I say—up—and
out! Is it not more important that your children
in their tender years should not be left motherless?
and that they should not be born to that feeble
constitution of body which will blight every earth
ly blessing ? Let buttons and strings go : you
will take bold of them with more vigor and pa
tience, when you do return, bright and refreshed;
and if every stitch is not finished, at just such a
moment, (and it is discouraging not to be able to
systematize in your labor, even with your best ef
forts,) still remember that “ she who hath done
what she could,” is entitled to no mean praise.—
Your husband is undoubtedly the “ best of men
though there are malicious people who might an
swer that that is not saying much for him ! Still,
he would never, to the end of time, dream what
you were dying of. So accept my advice and take
the matter in hand yourself.— Fanny Fern.
Pmoual Influence.
Blessed influence of one true-loving human soul
on auother. Not calculable by algebra, not dedu
cible by logic, but mysterious, effectual, mighty, as
the hidden process by which the tiny seed is
quickened, and bursts forth into tall stem and
broad leaf, aud glowing tasscled flower. Ideas are
often poor ghosts, or sun-filled.eyes cannot dis
discern them : they pass athwart us in their vapor,
and cannot make themselves felt. But sometimes
they are made flesh ; they breath upon us with
warm breath, they touch us with soft, responsive
hands ; they look at us with sad, sincere eyes, and
speak to us in appealiug tones ; they are clothed
in a living human soul, with all it conflicts, its
fuith and its love. Then their presence is a power;
then they shake us like a passion, aud we are
drawn after them with gentle compulsion, as flame
is drawn to flame.— Blackwood's Magazine.
The all Hail Hereafter.
I live, as did Simeon, in the hope of seeing a
brighter day. Ido see gleams of dawn, and that
ought to cheer me. I hope nothing from increas
ed zeal iu urging an imperfect, decaying form of
Christianity. One higher, clearer view of religion
rising on a single mind, encourages me more than
the organization of millions to repeat what has
been repeated for ages with little effect. The in
dividual here, is mightier than the world ; and I
have the sabsfactios of seeing aspirations alter
this purer truth.— Channing.
The eye is a haven, at which the treasure
fleets that sail through the ocean of light are un
laden, and their stores deposited in the vaults of
intellect; but it is through the whispering gallery
of the ear that reaches the heart of his fellow
man most quickly and surely. Light and knowl
edge are for the eye, love and'music for the ear.
Hearing oftentimes seems to me a nobler sense
than sight, with jieher benedictions attendant on
it, with tenderer and holier offices assigned to it.
Man’s voice, tuned by sympathy, moving to the
modulations of intelligence and love, may perform
the sweetest and holiest ministry ol human life.
True Kloouenck. —Milton thus defines it:—
“ True eloquence I find to be none but the serious
and hearty love of trutli; and that, whose mind
soever i3 fully possessed with a fervent desire to
know good things, and with the dearest charity
to infuse the knowledge of them into others, when
such a man would speak, his words, like so many
nimble and airy servitors, trip about him at com
mand, and in well ordered files, as he would wish,
fall aptly into their own places.”
Satan would make a man look anywhere rather
than to Christ. There is such a thing, as false
conversion. Satan sometimes stirs people up to
care about their souls. He makes them look to
ministers, or books, or meetings, or duties—to
feelings, enlargement in prayer ; he will let them
look to any thing in the universe except to one
object, “ the cross of Christ.” The only thing he
hides is the Gospel, the glorious Gospel of Christ.
If God stop our outward blessings, it is that the
strytm may run faster another way.

Family Intercourse at the Table.
To meet at the breakfast-table, father, mother,
children, all well, ought to be a happiness to any
ueart; it should be a source of humble gratitude,
iiid should wake up the warmest feelings of our
nature. Shame on the contemptible and low-bred
cur, whether parent or child, that can ever come
.0 the breaklast-table, where all the family have
net in health, only to frown and whine, and grow l,
and Iret! It is primafacie evidence of a mean, and
groveling,and stbfish, and degraded nature, whence
soever the churl.may have sprung. Nor is it less
reprehensible to make such exhibitions at the tea
ruble ; for before the morning comes, some of the
httle circle may be stricken with some deadly
disease, to gather around that table not again
forever.
Children in good health, if left to themselves at
the table, become, after a few mouthfuls, garrulous
and noisy ; but if within at all reasonable or beara
ble hounds, it is better to let them alone; they
eat less, because they do not eat so rapidly as if
compelled to keep silent, while the very exhilii a
;ion ol spirits quickens the circulation of the vital
fluids, and energises digestion and assimilation.
The extremes of society curiously meet in this
regard. The tables of the rich and the nobles of
England are models of mirth, wit, and bonhommio;
it takes hours to get through a repast, and they
livelong. If anybody will look in upon the ne
groes of a well-to-do family in Kentucky, while at
Uieir meals, they cannot but be impressed with tlio
perlect abandon of jabber, cachinnation, and mirth;
it seems as if they could talk all day, and they live
long. It follows, then, that at the family tabic all
should meet, and do it habitually, to make a com
mon interchange of high-bred courtesies, of warm
affections, of cheering mirtlifuluess, and that gene
rosity of nature which lifts us above the brutes
which perish, promotive, as these things are, of
good digestion, high health, aud a long life. —
Hall's Journal of Health.
Happy Women.
A happy woman! is she not the very sparkle
and suushiue of life ! A woman who is happy be
cause she can’t help it—whose smiles even the cold
est sprinkling of misfortune cannot dampen. Men
make a terrible mistake when they marry for beau
tv, or for taleut, or for style ; the sweetest wives
are those who possess the magic secret of being
happy under any and every circumstance. Rich
or poor, high or low, it makes no difference; the
bright lift!® fountain of joy bubbles up just as mu
sic div in their hearts. io they live in a log cabin ?
the fire-light tnat leaps up on its humble hearth
becomes brighter than the gilded chandeliers in
an Aladdin palace! I)o they eat brown bread
and drink cold water from the well? it affords
tbnm more solid satisfaction than the millionaire's
pate de foie gras and iced champagne. Nothing
ever goes wrong with them—no trouble is too se
rious for them “to make the best of it.” Was
ever the stream of calamity so dark and deep that
the sunlight of a happy lace, falling across its tur
bid tide, Would not wake an answering gleam !
Why, then, joyous-tempered people don’t know
half the good they do. No matter how cross and
crabbed you feel, Mr. Grumbler, no matter if your
brain is packed lull of meditations on “afflicting
dispensations,” and your stomach with medicine:,
pills and tonics, just set one of these cheery little
women talking to yon, and we are not afraid to wa
ger anything she can cure you. The long drawn
lilies about the mouth will relax—the cloud of set
tled gloom will vanish and nobody knows when,
and the first you know, you will be laughing!—
Why? That is aflbther thing; we can no more
tel! you why, than we can tell you why you smile .
involuntarily to listen to the first blue-bird of the
season, among the maple-blossoms, or to meet a
knot of yellow-eyed dandelions iu the crack of a
city pave stone. We oulv know that it is so.
On, these happy women ! how often their slen
der shoulders bear the weight of burdens that
would smite men to the ground ! how often their
little hands guide the ponderous machinery of life
with an almsot invisible touch! how we look for
ward, through the weary day, to their fireside
smiles ! how often their cheerful eye3 see conlenr
de rose where we only behold thunder-charged
clouds! No one knows, no one ever will know,
until the day of judgment, how much we owe to
these helpful, hopeful, uncomplaining women !
All Astronomer’s View of Ike Universe.
In wafting ourselves in imagination to our own
satellite, the inoon—the nearest of our celestial
bodies—we have passed over a distance equal to
thirty times the diameter of our globe. In ad
vancing to the sun we travel over a distance equal
to thirty times that of the moon ; before we reach
Uranus, the remotest of the planets, we have trav
ersed a space equal to 20 times the earth's distance
from the sun. Thus placed at the limits of a sys
tem enclosed in a circle of eighteen hundred mil
lions of miles in radius, our appreciation of dis
tance would appear to be on the margin of an un
fathomable abyss. The telescope, however, and
the mural circle enable us to span the void, and
the geuius of man proud of the achievement—and
justly, if humbly proud—has crossed the gulf
twelve thousand times the radiu3 of his own sys
tem, that we may study the nearest world in the
firmament of heaven. Beyond this frontier lies
the whole universe of stars, their binary systems,
their clusters, and their nebulous combinations.
The observed parallax of one fourth of a second in
a Lyra carries four times as far into the bosom of
space; though beyond this, as we have no positive
measure of distance, it would be as unphilosophies I
to assign to creation as to give it an infinite range.
In this rapid flight into space we have traversed
it but in one dimension, and the line which we
have traced is but a unit in the scale of celestiul
distance. Creation in its wide panorama is still
above us, beneath us, and around us. The over
arching heavens still enclose us, and innumerable
worlds in its canopy.
If from this bourne, from which the astronomical
traveler alone returns, we look upon our course,
out own planetary system ceases to be perceived.
Its sun is dim, itself but an invisible point in the
nebulous light that intervenes. Where, then, in
our terrestrial ball; its oceans, its continents, its
mountains, its empires, its dynasties, its thrones ?
Where is our fatherland, its factions, its Christians’
disunions, its crimes, and its unholy wars ? Where
is our home, its peace, its endearments, its hopes,
and its fears? Where is man, intellectual monad,
the only atom of organic life that pierce the depths
and interpret the enigma of the universe? And
yet the only spark of spiritual nature which dis
claims the authority and resists the will of the
universal King. They have all disappeared in the
far off perspective, the long vista of space, whoso
apex, were it a sun, the hugest telescope would fail
to descry. No living thing here meets the eye,
and no sentiment associated with life presses on
the affections. The tiuy organisms of earth and
ocean, everything that moves and breathes, that
lives and dies, all are engulphed in the great con
ception of the universe. The straining mind can
not unite the immeasurable extremes. The infinite
in space, the eternal iu duration, the omnipotent
in power, the perfect in wisdom, alone fill the ex
panded soul, and portray in their awful combina
tion the Creator of the universe. —Borth British
Review.
Precept ami Practice.
The great aim and object of life, both in this
world and in a future state, is happiness. * *
The way to be happy is to bo contented ; and as
those \ irtues which are cultivated in our youth are
more likely to blossom and bear fruit in after life,
we wish to point out to those who have the cara
of children that, next to the control of the temper,
without which there can be no such thing as hap
piness, they should teach contentment. How dis
gusting it is to others, as well as misery to oneself,
To have u child continually crying for something it;
has not got; but this is not so much the fault of
the child as the parent. It has never been taught
contentment.
It is the duty of all to examine their own con
duct, and correct their own errors, repressing
those faults to which they are prone, and resolving
to cultivate those virtues that they find that they
are defective in. But it is also the duty of parents
and teachers to point cut those defects to the
young ; and how can they chide a child lor doing
what themselves are guilty of?
Iu conclusion, we would point out that in edu
cation the cultivation of the heart must keep pace
with the cultivation of the mind, or we shall look
in vaiu for that happiness which should spring
from learning, but which learning alone, without
virtue, can never give us.— The What Xot.
We often make life unhappy iu wishing things
to have turned otherwise than they do, merely be
cause that is possible to the imagination which 19
impossible in fact.— HoxhL
