I’ve follies of my own, And on my heart the care bestow, And let my friends alone- [Anon. We find the following epigram going the rounds of the press “loose.” Saiil Anna’s preceptor “a kiss is a noun ; But tell me il proper or common” he cried ; J With cheeks of Vermillion and evlidseast down “Tis both common and proper.” the pupil replied. Inauguration of the Statue at Richmond. We regret that our space precludes the possibili ty of a lengthened account of the inauguration of the Washington Monument with the accompany ing groups at Richmond, Va., on the 22d ult. We have already published a brief notice, and must now add a word more regarding :he statue itself, and the naiure of Senator Hunter: | Crawford’s monument is considered his master piece, and one of the greatest triumphs of Ameri can art. The basement is. in the shape of a star, with six points, upon each one of which will siand a statue of one of those Virginians, who so effec tively aided the Pater Patriot by their eloquence, their genius, or their swords. Patrick Henry, with his arms raised and extended, is energetically ad vocating independence; while Jefferson, in an at titude of earnest contemplation, holds in one hand a pen and in the other the Declaration of Indepen dence. When all of these figures are finished and in their places the effect will be very striking. In the centre of this group, and towering above it, is the colossal equestrian statue of Washington, which, including the charger, is twenty-five feet high. The great chiettain is represented in full j Continenial uniform, at ihe critical moment in a battle. His horse is reined up and partly thrown upon the haunches, as il suddenly checked while moving rapidly, while the rider “sits on the beast, with majestic case, and, as if something had sud denly caught his attention in the distance, he is I pointing forward and rather upward with his hand, ! while his head and face are slightly turned to the i left, and might indicate that he was either calling the object that had just struck his own eyes to the notice of his companions, or was giving a com mand to be executed at the spot to which he points. The figure is erect, the chest thrown forward, the knees pressed to the saddle, the heel nearly be neath the shoulder, and the sole of the foot almost horizontal. The seat is ami itary and not a hunt ing seat, and the whole impressts die m nd with the idea of perfect ease, calmness, and command.” j So says G. P. R. James, the novelist, who should i be a judge. I Tite oration of Senator Hunter seems to have been eminently appropriate to the occasion, as well as eloquent and able. We have not space to pub lish half of it, even—as entire it occupies seven columns of the Washington Utcion —and can give only the concluding paragraphs. The orator be gan by speaking in beautiful language of the spirit which animated Virginia in the undertaking which is now brought to so grand a close; of the vener ation with which she cherished the memory of her noblest son ; and of the appropriateness of her choice of a tribute to his worth and evidence of her affections. He then began to trace the history of Washington—how as a simple country gentle man, he fitted himself by the best discipline, moral and physical, for the great work which Providence j had allotted to him; how he received marks of confidence, unusual at his age. from his State, with a m ‘desty that won all hearts; and how at the c ill of his country, he assumed the direction of her armies in the struggle for Independence. His con duct of the Revolution, as a soldier and a citizen, are viewed in a patriotic and philosophical spirit, and the charge, or rather insinuation, that he lack ed military skill, is refuted with singular force. The o ator next views him as he occupies the Pie sident’s chair, and casts a rapid but comprehensive glance at the perilous state of affairs amid which Washington entered upon his duties as Chief Ma gistrate of the nation This part of the oration, if no other, is, doubtless, destined to constitute a val ued portion of our national literaiure—as an ex position of Washington’s career in the Presiden tial office, of which weot the present day are none too well informed. The peroration is a grand effort, as our readers will learn from the following para graphs : This statue is not merely a monument to Wash ington, but an altar erected to Heroic Virtue it self, before which the human heart may purify its own aspirations under the chastening influences of the great example of the Father of his Country, and upon w hich it may sacrifice every wild or mad desire that may be adverse to the country’s good. And yet this monument itself will pass away when time, with slow corroding tooth, shall have dissipated, atom by atom, its consocrated dust.— But when all ns particles, fugitive on the winds, shall have disappeared from human view, there will still survive the monument w’hich Washing ton’s own genius has erected for itself, for there is a promise in which we all confide, that, the good which men do shall live after them. How much of ail that we admire in human achievement must lose its influence in the end, because it is funded in ill. The very process of its progress dissipates it at least, for the circles of its impulse grow fain ter as they grow broader, until they finally disap pear altogether on the face of the great ocean of life, But the good which men do in this life, and especially such as Washington achieved, shall live always as an efficient cause and a permanent in fluence it) the progress of human affairs. The foot of the spoiler may trample down for a while what is best in the garden of life, but heaven, soon or late will send its rains to wash out all traces of the step. Its tempered airs will visit the germinating seed, its genial light will guide the upward growth until by a full development of leaf and flower, and fruit and seed, it has not only completed the course of one charming circle of existence, ut provided for the re-appearance of another. The work of him who planted the good seed shall live long after all traces of the des royer shall have been lost and forgotten. If, then, the good which men do oe the charmed seed of life, which must increase and multiply in the successive process of a continued reproduction, who shall affix limits tot he growth and existence of that which Washington planted as deep as the foundations of human society itself! Who does not believe that the seed which he sow ed will continue to bear the rich fruits of human happiness and social progress until man shall have completed his destiny unon earth ? He who be queatl.es a great moral influence to his rac", wheth er it be the influence of precept or example, shall continue to repeat his existence through each suc ceeding generation of man, and its interest will live and grow throughout the whole march of the great story of humanity, until the book of man’s life upon this earth is closed forever. “ Immortals nihil mundi compage tenetur. None orbis, non regna homiaum r,oa aurea Rom* ” “ The cloud capped towers, the gei rgeous palaces, The solemn temples, .he great globe itsell; Yea, all widen it inherits shall dii-solve, And like the insubstantial pageant faded. Leave not a wreck behind— ” And .--till surviving all the good which men have done on earth must live. It will live in the eter nal consciousness of the soul from hich it ema nated, the seed, it may be, of a new’ life, which is to be constantly reproduced in the ascending scale of a continued suecessio i of higher developments from the old. But I must not obtrude with pto fane gaze upon mysteries so infinitely beyond mv ken. It is enough for me to have proclaimed that the influence of what is good in the reputation ol man is alone immortal, and so much I was bound to say in justice lo the great memory which we celebrate to-day. For upon this great truth I found those of all the princes and every other rul-r ol the earth. But Virginia here raises monuments to more than one of her children, and as she bei d over that group of her departed sons, she may well shed the mingled tears of pride and grief Amongst these she will place Lewis, her bold pioneer, who wrestled with the red man from the w aters of the Holston to those of the Great Kanawha, and final ly made good the title of his State to the possess ion of the Western wilderness on the bloody field of Point Pleasant, from which he drove the Indian beyond the Ohio. There will be found Nelson, the patriotic Governor of Vttginia, whose generous sac rifices and great public services called tor the thanks of Washington at, the siege of York. Geo. Mason, too, is to be placed there in the fondness of an oth er’s pride, he whom history will proclaim as one of the apostles of civil liberty, the author of the Bill of Rights of Virginia, the orator and the sage, whose vision was so nearly prophetic, and whose i wisdom an patriot sm made him a great leader in his day John Marshall is to constitute another figure in that great grotipe, he whose qualifies of head and heart were bestowed bv Nature as if she were trying her most cunning hand to constitute a perfect judicial character. Unequal in learning to Coke, or Hale, or Hardwicke or, Mansfield, because he had fewer opportunities to acquire it, he united the character f Hale to the genius of Mansfield, and found in his own resources those means of mastery for which they were so largely dependent on the assistance ol others. Patrick Henry al ready s ands there, a commanding figure in the group, the “llotner of orators,” whose mighty voice comes ringing down with the ages to startle the most listless of human ears with these watch words of civil revolution and piogress, ‘Give me liberty or give me death !” And yonder contem plative figure, who needs to be told that it is Thos. Jefferson, the most intrepid thinker and the great est political genius of his day ; a man who was capable of committing himself, like Columbus to the winds and the waves in pursuit of his own great idea, and of persevering until he and scovered new provinces of thought, and found firm ground for the human mind beyond Hie uncertain seas who others had feared to pa.-s before. Still the representation of the revolutionary fam ily of Virginia is lar from complete. The statue of | George Rogers Clnr- >e, Ike that- I Brutus, is miss ing. The Lees and the Randolphs, Madison and Monroe, “sapientum que ora pro rent.” might well Constitute another group ol kmmed greatness to these. May a long succession ol such chapters of monumental history continue to tell the tale of Vir ginia’s greatness and glory. But I must not close this address without one word ol affectionate adjuration to thee Virgil la. and bidding you all hail, oh most glorious mother!— Take us, thy children, with thee to the tombs of your mighty sone, that we may learn Irom ynor meditations something of the sect et of your own great heart. Does it occur to you, as you bend in sorrowing pride over the monument- ol your dead, that perhaps the wiser part was taken by the daughter of Scip;o and the mother of the Graced, who refused to bear more children U-st she should be ashamed by the comparison oi the younger with the elder born ? Is it the secret question of your bosom, “Quid facciv.nl Stemmati w hen you contrast your present With your past ? I pray you, by the love we bear you to harbor no such re proachful suggestions in your bosom. The wealth of your achievements may be in the past, but never was a mother richer in the affections ot her chil dren. Every drop of your waters and the very dust of yoursoil are as de <r to them as if they bore the charm ol life. Your great name and its asso ciations constitute the fascination aud the spell which call up the deepe-t emotions of filial love and pride in the hearts of jour children. They may not dd lo the lustre ot your name, but they will preserve and defend it against reproach and disgrace. They no longer bring curule dignities to your home, nor do lictors and faces tnaik their approach lo your door, but they bear you what al ter all is the richest treasure and best defence ofa state —the loyalty and the devotion of a uni'ed family, which knows no higher reward than a mother’s love, aid no prouder object of ambition than a mother’s glory. Permit me then to say, i the love which inspires it can excuse the presump tion of ihe advice, that if you wish lo renew, in some future generation, the glories of your mighty line, you must be true to yourself, to the traditions of your past, to the long established principles of your public policy, and the peculiar genius of your people. For how long did American civilization follow (he line ol their camp fires as vour pioneers passed through the wilderness ! Why may there not spring up again within your h> usehold the lights which may lead to a higher culture and to a happier a more refined and a more powerful com bination ‘ I the social and individual elements whose proper organization constitutes the strength of hu man government ? I believe, in my soul, that sucli would be ihe results of the faithful and further ap plication of the principles of our great school.— Equally firm is my conviction that the lights which should di ect that application are to be found in the lessons which have been taught by our own sons, wbose teachings have in them more of pro phetic wisdom than all the leaves of the Sibyl.— Such are the achievements which would place Vir ginia amongst the States and nations of the earth, where Washington, her own illustrious son, stands amongst men—t lie world’s great paragon, the cy nosure of his race. Consequences of a Dissolution of the Onion The most timid conservative we have in the Southern States cannot deny, however much lie may deplore, the fact, that a dissolution of the Union is possible ;—let us suppose, for the mo ment, that it is inevitable. What, then, may we ratioually expect as the consequences of i-ucii an event? Should we cease to raise cotton—as the the New Y’ork Mirror insists ? Will our agriculture suffer instant and universal blight and our com merce fade into extinct on—to say nothing of the difficulties and horrors to be experienced, in en deavoring to keep in proper subjection a rebellious race of bondsmen—as is constantly asserted by the Abolitionists 1 If the Union were dissolved tn-morrow—without anything being said about it—it is probable that ninety nine one hundredths of the population of the Southern Slates would never know the tact, ex cept by a lessening of taxation and a general im provement in trade. In so enlightened a country as ours, the people really and truly require very few laws, and very ht.le legislation; and what they do require—a good system of judicatu e, for instance, —is already supplied and more than sup plied—by our State Governments. The Union wasorignally occasioned by the weak ness and mutual dependence of the Colonies: and it was formed to compass certain ends, the accom plishment of which was then uncertain and pros pective,bul which we have long since reached and secured. The aid. therefore, which the South re quired of the North aud Ihe North of the South in 1776 or 1789, is required no longer by either.— The agricultural States of the South are now abundantly able to lake care of themselves, and there is no necessity of their continuing to pav fifty millions a year for a Northern guardianship. Commerce is the great civilizer of the world; and the geographical position and agricultural pro ducts ot the Southern States have enforced a law —.stronger and more unchangeable than the enact ments of the Modes and Persians—which will bind over the whole world in ever lasting bonds ot peace with the grave Southern Republic. Commercial interest will not only make ail Europe our allies and friends, but the Northern States also: and a dissolution of the Union, therefore, need by no meuis be a dissolution ol the bonds which connect us to the North in legitimate, peaceful, friendly trade —nor in anything else except an old, onerous wornont, superannuated system of external Gov ernment machinery. Ii is now constantly asse-ted by both Northern and Southern writers that we of the North and South are two peoples. If we are, then, what harm could there be in our peaceably dissolving our present connection and forming others which would more exactly conform to the present condi tion ofeach?—which would relieve the North of the burden of our sin of slavery and the South ol the oppressive weight of protection which has been tor so long a period thrust upon her by her Puri tan confederates on the other side of the Potomac. We love the Union because of the history ol the past and the retnemberatice of our common fore fatherr, and we have been willing on these acoun ts to go so lar as even to pay tribute lor its preset vatiori. If interest alone were concerned, we would say dissolve to morrow, for we know not of one single instance where the South derives any ad vantage from its preservation it might not have without. One of file leading objects of the Union of the States was, to have one common agent to manage foreign affairs. It is seldom that treaties with lor eign powers are made for any benefit to the South; and we know of no internal policy wherein the rights of the South are protected, or her interests cherished and fostered by the Union to any extent which the Sonth would not be able to supply her self. Much has of late been said by the Northern, press in relation to what would be the condition of the South in the event of dissolution, and they have portrayed it as weak and feeble. We tell them now, once for all,:hat they do not understand us. No peop eon Ihe tace of the earth are better prepared to take care of themselves than we are. We desire nothing but wlmt the w hole world de sires to | ur-base, ami we can afford the best mar ket in the world tor the productions and manufac tures ol other nations. In c.-ise of war, we can raise more soldiers, in proportion to population, than any power in the woild. Every man and boy without exception in the South, understands the use ol lire arms, and is a natural born horsemen We have a population among us, which can be employed in making provisions, while the whole body of able-bodied white men can be employed as soldiers. Tlipu the legitimate deductions are, that we are able to take care of ourselves, and, so far as interest alone is concerned, it would be far bettor for us that wt begin to do so at once — Mo bile Mercury. Mr. Toombs nnd the Enquirer. We give below the editorial remarks of our cotempora ry, the “Sun” upon the article of the “Enquirer,” headed “Mr. Toombs and the Union,” which we felt constrained to characterize, in our last issue, as unworthy that patriot ism which should animate a Soufiiern Journal. It seems that the language of the “Enquirer” towards ,vir- Toombs has been read with equal mortification and chagrin by oth er Journals, who regard the Union second in importanc* only to Southern honor and Southern integrity. We copy theso remarks with a view of convincing the “Enquirer’’ that wo did not misconstrue either the spirit or the meauing of its obnoxious article, much less did we misquote it. In our next issue, we shall lay it before our readers, and the parts, whicU we nave extracieu irom 11, aud suoimt u to their intelligence and candor, whether we left out anything materiil to the issue. We profess to be, if we are not, honest in our advocacy of rneasur aud rnen, and we should consider ourselves unworthy tne p • fa public journalists, were we to act otherwise. Wear- 1 < n.— But lor the remarks of the Sun, which are more e -u but run in the same channel with our own comments— A‘-Dark ear'ed Political Parricide.” A friend hae called our aitenfion to an article in the Enquirer of Saturday last, under the caption of “The Union and Mr. Toombs,” which we would be recreant to our du'y as a public journalist did we let it pass unnoticed. We expect nothing else but vil'ilying abuse and billingsgate heaped upon the defenders of the rights and honors of the South, from the horde of abolitionist and Black Republi cans who are trying to degrade her to a Ipvel with the serfs of the monarchies of the old world, but * ich sentiments as the following, extracted from tte article alluded to, are so unsuiled to this cli mate, and so at war with every principle of politi cal tolerance, that we are surprised that an indig nant public Should not frown down the author, and give him distinctly to understand that the South knows who are her t ue friends, and that she will uphold them while contending for *er rights.—The following is the extract referred to : “Sign a.” the Washington correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune, writes as follows: “Mr. Toornbs dots not hesitate to avow himself j in favor of a dissolution of the Union, declaring il j as his opinion that the interest of both sections | would be promoted thereby.” We are not yet old, but we remember ihe time when the sentiment attributed to Mr. Toombs, would have been meet with the withering scorn and contempt of every American patriot. It was in the earlier and purer days of our Republic, when official crime dared rot lift its snaky locks and stony eyes amid a virtuous and intelligent peo ple. ******** But for a “grave and reverend” Senator like Toombs, to talk flippantly about disrupting this Government, —is either a foliy to be laughed at, or a stupendous crime, to be punished by pointing t him the “slow, unmoving finger of scorn.” Such a man must he either the buffoon whose merriment is despised, because misplaced, or the dark hearted political parricide, who would plunge his sword into the bowels of his best friend and benefactor. We can tell Mr. Senator Toombs, that when he and his friend Douglas fiist get the country into a scrape, and the ambition of neither can be giattifiii without a dissolution of the Union, the people of Georgia and the United States would sooner see ten thousand such Senators driven out of the coun try in disgrace, than the existence of the Govern ment threatened fora moment, We would not have been at all surprised to have seen these sentiments published in the New York Tribune or any other ot the Abolition prints of the North, but we must confess we were sur prised, mortified and indignant, that a Southern journal, published in the great Southern S ate ot Georgia, and dependent on Southern patronage for support, should be so lost to a sei se oi’ its dignified position, and the honor of the section whose inter es s it pretends to uphold, ns to promulgate such sentiments as the above in a crisis fraught with so much danger to the South as the present. Has it come to this, that a Southern Senator shall be branded by a Southern journal as a bujfotm, ora ■‘black hearted political parricide,” simply because he believes, Irom the incongruity of the elements which compose the present Union, it would be bet ter for both sections that its bond's should be bro ken ? What is there in such a sentiment, at such a time as ihe present, to call forth such epithets from a political opponent whose perceptions are so obtuse that they cannot see or appreciate the dan ger which threaten the rights of the South from the combined attacks of Northern abolitionists and Southern sympathisers. In view of all the circumstances which surround the matter, and the violent attacks that are from time to time made upon the South, we think the epithets of “buffoon” and “ black hearted political parricide” comes with a bad grace from one who ‘ is willing to sacrifice Southern honor and Southern rights upon the altar of a Union which is fast becoming an engine of oppression against the 1 South. But all patriots and patriotic measures have had heir revilers aud opponents among the se who 1 hould be their friends, and il is unreasonable, I ■ therefore, to expect the champions of the rights ot ? tlie South, or the cause of the South itself, should be - free from the attacks of their enemies. Washing I ton was i-garded as a traitor by some, and th> i American revolution was considered even by a por ! tion of the American people as nothing bm a rebel i lion ag: inst the legal Government. Obedience to i Ihe “powers that be” is one of the first duties oi a i citizen of any Government, so long as that G ivern ment affords that protection to the cit zen which it is his right to expect and demand, hut when il ceases to afford Ins protection, but on the ci utrar) is a means of oppressing him, his obligations cease to t hat Government, and it is his right to throw ii off. and in doing so tie acts the part of the patriot, while to lamely submit would he at..- c of poltroon ery which would damn hint in the estimation of at honorable men. Which, then, is the “black hearted political parricide, Mr. Toombs, who is willing even to tisk the dread expedient of dissolving the Union to save his section from dishonor, or those who, to save the Union, would sacrifice not only the honor but the interest of their section?

But whatever faie awaits us, do thou, O Virginia! thou the great mother of States and of statesmen —thou, the famed mother of the glorious dead— thou, the yet vigorous mother of the great and gif ted living—thou, from beneath whose mighty heart sprung that son, whose life so resplendently illus trated thine own, and the annals of his whole coun try, and into whose ample bosom his ashes have j returned, guard well the sacred trust of that double maternity, and while to the valor of thy sons shall be committed its security, permit genti'e woman to become the vestal priestess at the shrine ! Napoleon III.—A Southern gentleman, long a res ident in Paris, and probably more familiar with the political world of France than anv other American, in writing to a friend in New York, makes some very interesting remarks upon the character of the present Emperor of the French, which the Times is permitted to publish: Constitutionally, Napoleon is as much ofa fata list as a man can be, and events have c.< i,firmed his natural tendency. He will leave a big rather than a great name in history. Os genius, in the true, however indefinite, sense of that word, he has never yet given any proof. In civil matters, sup posing his sinning point and data to he good and sound, he has shown a rare judgement, perfect self confidence; (completely amazing to Frenchmen in these latter,years, and a strong, steady will. In military concerns, the most fortunate feature of his lucky career was that which saved him from going to the Crimea. In matters of detail, strange to say, he is miserably deficient, as I am assured by M—, his leading minister during the Prince Presidency. His fbrte lies in a few gran diose conceptions—great principles, as he would Call them: Concentrate all power in Paris, keep the terminating knot or lie of concentration between his thumb and finger—hold the army well in hand —repay the first outbreak at compound interest, without a chance of discount—castrate the press and extinguish the natural spirit of man in all Frenchmen, hich and low. by a “Huston ot me artificial spirit of the trades.— Ex. j Mysterious.—Since the adjournment of the na— | val Courts of Inquiry, certain developments have j been made which, we have every reason to believe ) will place in a very disagreeable position a naval officer of high rank.

Novel Lawsuit. —During a revival, in the Sec ond Moth- dist Church ol Lancaster, Pa., last week the Rev. Mr. Walters, pastor, peremptorily order ed “tho e persons who did not wish to comply with his request (to kneel during ptayer,) to leave.”— Mr- Henry Miller, of that city, relused to do either, whereupon Mr. Walters instituted a suit agamst Mr. Miller, before a magistrate.

A first rate joke took place lately in our court room.

She rejected the doctrine that it was the place of constant activity, and not of repose, and believed that when she at length reached it, she would work no more, but sit in a clean white apron and sing psalms.” An Unwelcome Recognition. —On the arrival of a company of girls at Bloomington, lowa, last week, under the care of an agent of the women’s emigra tion society of New York, a gentleman of Bloom ington came to select a girl to work in his family. He was carefully scanning the faces before him, when nil at once he started as if suddenly shot, ttir-ed pale, and was about to made a sudden re treat, when one of the young ladies walked up to him and said, “111 go with this gentleman ; I’ve lived with him before; he’s my husband! My dear Thomas, what made you leave me five years ago without saying‘good by?’ and why didn’t you let me know you were living in such a beautiful place as Bloomington ? Il l had only known you were living here, I would have come.” The “dear Thomas” got away and took to his heels, and Die unwelcome wife followed close in pursuit. The result of the race had not transpired when the Bloomington paper went to press. s2gp~“How did you like that clam song ?” asked an old lady of her daughter, as they stepped with the crowd out into the open air, after a popular concert. “Clam snng!” exclaimed the young lady, in astonishment, “why, what du you refer to moth er ?” “Why, the first one he sung.” “Oh, you mean Shells ot the Ocean, don’t you, mother ?” ‘•Well, yea,” said the old I dy, “I do think that was it; it was something ah-a clams, any way. and you know I like clams so well!

Caleb Cushing, so well and widely known as a statesman, diplomatist, man of letters and of arms, is now a member ofthe Mas sachusetts Legislature f-r Newbury port. Whatr • ever may be tl-e Gen-ral’s faults,he is bold, frank, i and fearless in his avowal of his opinions, and has lately been making quite a stir among the ra bid “Republican*” of the old Puritan Common wealth. It is well known that Judge Loring has been for some years the object of continued as sault on the par! ofthe abolitionists of that State on account ot his honest and manly firmness msus taming the laws ol the land in defiance ofthe pop ular prejudices around him. A petition tor his re moval received th- vole of the Legislature at a previous session, bu: Gov. Gardner, to his great 1 credit refused to comply with the petition The subject has been revived since the preseru Govern or [Banks] has come into office, and it is on this question that Mr. Cushing lias made a ga lant and dashing charge upon the overwhelming anti slaverj majority in the Legislature. “He told them [says the Washington Slates, in describing ihe scene] that they shrunk like whipped spaniels under th lash oi'Lloyd Garrison, who drove over them in the car of the Anti-Slavery Society; the Legislature had been intimidated and bullied into voting the Hall for negro agitation, though'.lie Society had merely played the game of compul “ion, and refused to accept the Hall when it was roted. In a word, Mr. Cushing told his hearers that it was a q t-stiou whether the members of that body were freemen; acting without restraint or whether they were cowering under the mena ces ila society which openly advocated disunion iuits w -rsi and most reprehensible aspect.” Progress of the Religious Revolution. —The re ligions revival in this city and elsew here is gain ing ground every day. A similar movement com menced at about the same time in Europe and on the shores of the Pacific, so that we may reasona bly conclude that all Cristendom is awakening to grace. In this city there are twelve daily public prayer meetings of all the evangelical denomina tions. There are also daily serv.ces in all the Epis copal and Roman Catholic Churches. These ser vices are attended by not less than ten or twelve thousand persons every day ; the piayer meetings are crowded, and Ihe attendance at the Lenten Church services is greatly in excess over any pre vious year. We road that in all the meetings “there seems to boa iles-re to avoid denomination al bias, and to make all the women who come per fectly easy in their minds on the score of possible offence at their preconceived ideas.” The same zeal prevail* throughout thecouritry, and the sin ners are flocking in great armies to taste the sweet waters of eternal life — N.

Sucking up Water from Sand. —Livingstone, the African travtller, ([escribes an ingenious me thod by which Ihe Africans obtain water in the de sert : “The women tie a bunch of grass to one end of a reed about two feet long, and insert it in a hole dug as deep as ihe arm will reach, then ram down the wet Jsand firmly around it. Applying the mouth to the free end of ihe reed, they form a vacuum in the grass beneath, in which the water collects, and in a short time rises to the mouth.”— It will be perceived that this simple, but truly phi losophical and effectual method, might have been applied in many cases, in different countries, where water was greatly needed, lo the saving of life. It seems wonderful that it should have been now first made known to the world, and that it should have been habitually practised in Alrica, probably for centuries.

Agricultural Truth.— The following state ment will be lound correct as to the soils under cultivation: 1. All lands on which clover or the grasses are grown, must either have lime in Ibem natuially, or that mineral must be artificially applied in the form of stone, lime or marl. 2. All permanent improvement of lands must look to time as its batis. 3. Lands which have been long in culture will be benefitt and by the application of phosphate of lime, and it is unimportant whether deficiency be supplied in tite form of butte dust, guano, native ph spliate of lime, compost of flesh, ashes or oys ter shell lime or marl, if the land need lime alone. 4. N land can be p eserved in a high state of fertility, unless clover and the grasses are culti vated in the course of rotation.
