Evening Journal states I that the State Loan of 500,000 dollars for the enlargement of the Erie Canal, has been taken by the Manhalten Company of the city of New A: ork at par. It was at five per cent, interest, the principal payable at any time after the 'par 1855 at the pleasure ofthc Commissioners of the Canal Fund. Correspondence of the North American. Nkw-Yokk, August2l, 1839. [Stocks are down again. Thsfall to-day is i a 1 per cent. There is no relief in the money mar ket, and moneyed men stand oil" once more to see where things will go to. Our merchants generally are in no trouble, and we have had no failures these three weeks. Exchange for the Liverpool, to sail on the 24th, is beginning to attract interest. On France the general quotation is sf, 2Ac„ and on England prime bills are held at 9 prem. though out of town names, deemed quite safe, can be had down to B±. Cotton is very flat to-day, and if sales crowded, in the lower qualities, they could not be elfected so well as last week. Good fair and upwards is held still, for some advance though, there arc very few buyers. Flour is also dull, and remains much in the state I quoted yesterday. Common brands of Gennessee are offered freely at $6,50, and South ern of the common kinds at $5,25. Mr. Clay is to arrive this afternoon and suita ble preparations have been made for his recep | tion. Most of our vessels have their flags high up and floating. By the Boston papers, we learn that Pickering Dodge, the loss of which we gave an account of on Monday was a new ship, built at Medford, and owned by William A. Rea, J. Silsbce, and L. W. Tappan, of Boston. When wrecked she was on her way to Newport, Wales, for a cargo of railroad iron. The supercargo, who was drowned, wasThos. Sweet, of Salem. The vessel was insured in Boston for $30,000 and the cargo for $3,000 at the Suffold office $13,000; at the American $10,000; at the Mercantile $lO,OOO. The St. Louis Gazette says, an English agent, said to be commissioned by the house of Roths childs, has lately visited the iron mountain dis trict, and has been ncgociating, with a view to the construction of a railroad,from theiron moun tain to the Mississippi. It is confidently stated says the Gazette, we know not how credibly, that at least 500 men will be engaged and actually employed on the work by September next. From the New Orleans Bulletin, of the 19 th. From Matainwrits. From this port we have dates to the Bth inst., but they do not contain any news of much impor tance. Bustamente was in quiet possession of the Presidential chair, and the Hero of Vera Cruz had retired to rusticate on his hacienda of Mango del Clova. The Federalists are still at V Monclova; but when the reinforcement of 1000 men, for which Canaliza is waiting at Monterrey shall arrive, we believe that the Patriots will be compelled to give up the contest for good, or fall back on Texas. General Araya is now the Com mander-in-Chief of the Federalists. The idea of invading Texas appears to have been abandoned; and rumor is current that the government is now trying to sell the “Ungrateful Colony,” L'pper California, &c. to England, as payment of the national debt. We give the following extract of our corre spondent’s letter:—“You inform me of the dull ness of business in your place, but here there is none at all, and scarcely any one to be seen in the streets, except a few miserable soldiers. The streets stilt continue barricaded, although we hear nothing of the Federalists. I believe they are all dispersed, except a small party up the riv "cr, in the neighborhood of Monclova. There are but few troops here at present, probably not more than six or seven hundred. “The heat of the weather and drought have been and still continue so excessive, that all veg etation appears to be parched up, and it is said that the cattle on the ranchos arc dying for want of water.” European Intelligence. We annex some additional items of European news furnished by the mails since Friday even, j • ntr; l"o brpoBTAST.—A London circular has the fol lowing postscript, under date of July 31st, 4, I P. M. “The confirmation of the fact of the Bank of England having negotiated with the Bank of France, for a loan of from two four millions ster ling, to be drawn for from hence, has led to con siderable discussion. The effect will be, to cause a return of specie and give an impetus to com merce.” The New York American of Monday afternoon says, in reference to this arrangement: “We have seen a private letter from London, of j 31st July—from a source that could hardly he j misinformed —stating that bills were drawing on j Paris for account, as was believed of the Bank of England, and in execution of an arrangement, ; for disposing in that city of its dead weight, j Moreover, there are letters from Paris of 29th j July, imparting the same intelligence. The relief which this operatioi. would afford 1 to the Bank of England, would preclude any ne- I 1 ~"~r”” '■ i'"’* Vi.'.-i".. ccssity for a further advance in the rate of dis count ; and when that fact was once promulgated and understood, confidence and activity in affairs would ho universally restored—as it is well known that large orders for purchases and invest ments on foreign account were on hand, and only not executed, because of the uncertainty of the money market. The heavy payments of the English Cotton Houses for the month of August, we learn on the authority of a letter of the highest respecta bility, have ail been prepared for. The Liverpool brings a cargo valued at £150,- 000. The Wesleyan Conference commenced its ses sion at Liverpool on the 31st July. Upwards of 500 preachers were present. The subscriptions to the centenary fund amount to £215,000, (equal with current exchange to $1,044,900.) Os this sum §428,960 have been paid to the Treasurer. Amp, me ax Stocks.— Baring’s Circular of the 31slsays: ‘‘We have no alteration to notice in the Money Market; the Dank rate of discount is still 5h per cent; the Exchanges do not improve, and the stock of bullion in the Bank, by the twelve weeks average, ending the 23d July, was only £3,786,000.” The following were the prices of American stocks: Alabama Sterling bonds 1859 5 per cent, SC. Illinois 1870 G per cent, 88. Indiana Sterling bonds, 88 a 89. Louisiana Sterlings bonds 1844 to 1852,5 per cent 93. Massachusetts Sterling 5 per cent, 1868 103. Maryland State stock 1870 6 per cent 93. New York City stock 5 percent, 1851 to 1860. 80 a 82. South Carolina 5 per cent state stocks, 88. Virginia State stock 6 percent 1844 to 1857,90. United States Bank shares, £23 2s Cd. The above, except for U. S. Bank and New York City stock, were nominal. Sultan Mahmoud died on the 30th June, and his eldest son, now 17 years of age, was pro claimed Emperor by the Divan. The Sultan was 51 years of age, and has left six children. He succeeded to the throne on the 28th June, 1808, on the deposition of his elder brother, Mustapha IV. The Mbniteur Parisien of ths 20th contains a semi-official article announcing that the European powers intend to take the young Sultan under their protection. During the first twenty days of July, sixty three new failures are reported to have taken place in Paris, of which the most important was that of M. Lasscure, a wine merchant, who failed for the amount of about half a million of dollars. This, according to the speech of the Prefect of the Seine, made to the merchants assembled for the election of Judges of the Tribunal of Commerce, is no indication of any depression of business. From the correspondence of the New York Commercial Advertiser. Tub Caxaiiiax Prisoners. —l informed you some days ago that the Canadian prisoners would be released about the 4t!i of July. It was not done on that day hut a few days after, and while I was reading a loiter from Lord , informing rnc of the fact, Mr. John G. Parker called and afforded me proof positive. Those discharged are JohnG. Parker, R. Wixon, Win. Alves, R. Walker, Finlay Malcolm, Leonard Watson, James Brown, Ira Anderson, and Paul Bedford. Two others were in prison when I left London—Linus W. Miller, and John Grant. I hope something may be done for these young men. For one of them. Miller, you will recol lect, I interested myself last summer, after his sentence to suffer death at Niagara. It has been my advice, and that of others, to those men who have been recently discharged, that they never again take any part in a scheme so mad as that for which they have so long suffered. I hope they will settle in the United States and become good citizens. The New York Journal of Commerce, Wednesday, 2, P. M. says : The news by the Liverpool has had more ef fect than has of late been customary. Money Stocks have fallen, except U. S. Bank, for which there were a good many orders, and the price went up 1 percent. Cotton is selling at Ja£ et. advance on the closing sales last week. Flour has run up 25 cents, with large sales closing at §6,5n for Ohio—§6,s6a 62 for common Genes see, and §6.50a62 for Georgetown. The sales of Flour were many of them for shipment, partly to Canada, some to England, and some elsewhere. The New York Express of Monday 2, P. M. says:— A contrariety of opinions is formed and enter tained in Wall street relative to the news from Europe. Those interested in keeping down stocks, are clamorous that the accounts are bad, and it appears to have that effect on stocks which have declined from ito 1 per cent. The Cotton holders are quite encouraged, and ask higher rates. Both opinions are in part correct. Private advices give a more favorable account ol trade, —particularly in American goods and there is certainly a good advance on Colton, — full a half-penny, with a speculating spirit.— This is calculated to help the staple. The pros pects aie thought to he unfavorable to grain and also for money,—for as the Bank of England has obtained no relief, it was unable to afford re lief to others. Indeed its ability was not as great as that of the private bankers who discounted pa per at less rates than the Bank. As there is no relief in American stocks with the exception of one or two, the effect upon stocks has been un favorable in Wall street. Our people are always ready whenever there is the least chance for speculation. The news is considered so unfavorable for the crops in Eng land, that quite an active movement has been made here in the flour market. At an early hour the spirit made its appearance, and considerable sales have been made at 25 cents advance. The whole exports of the domestic produce and manufactures of the United States last year, is reported by the Secretary of the Treasury, to be $96,033,821, The Agricultural products exported are thus classed : Products of animals, §2,340,850 Vegetable food, 6,764,664 Tobacco, 7,392,029 Cotton, 61,550,811 Other products, 140,093 §78,194,447 Seizure of British Cloths,— An exten sive seizure of Yorkshire Woolens has just been made at Philadelphia, of which we have the fol lowing particulars in the Inquirer of Tuesday : We learn that in consequence of information which transpired a few days since at New York, a Custom House Officer came on from that city ! yesterday morning, and seized large consign- I rnents of woolen cloths at a respectable Commis - sion merchant’s in Front st. It is hut jestice to I say, that the firm to whom the goods \wrccon • signed, arc not inculpable in any fraud upon toe 1 U. 8. revenue, they being merely the reputed • agents and receivers for purposes of sale. Rumour gives various amounts as to the value t of the goods seized—from $OO,OOO to SlOO.oou. It is, at any rate, the most extensive seizure ever i made in Philadelphia, i The grounds for proceeding on the part of the Custom House, arc said to be, chiefly, making entries at less than the true value. On dit, that the importer, for some years a resident of New York, is among the missing. The affair has created a great sensation in our business circles, and we hope to be in possession of full particulars in the course of a day or two. It is yet possible, for aught wc know, that the matter may be satisfactorily explained and the goods returned. It is further stated that two or three merchants from Yorkshire, who arrived by the Liverpool, have been arrested in New York, on a charge of being connected with the alleged smuggling. Wo trust that the transaction will render our Custom House cautious in receiving consign ments from any parlies who have been connected with smuggling, as the sale of such goods, of course at inferior price, not only defrauds the rev enue, hut injures the fair trader and the upright American manufacturer. From the Baltimore American of the 20th. The Carmelite Nunnery in Aisquith street, became a point of attraction to a large number of persons on Sunday, in consequence of the various reports which were current in connection with the circumstance that one of the Nuns hud on that morning left the institution, and was unwil ling to return. It appears that she applied for admission into several houses, and was received into that of Mr. Wilcox, residing in Aisquith street, near which a crowd of persons was soon gathered. The following additional particulars of the affair arc thus related,in the Sun of yester day : His honor the Mayor was sent for and prompt ly repaired to the spot, and sent a messenger lor Mr. Jeffers and the police, which summons was obeyed on the instant. 'The mayor appealed to the good sense of the crowd, and after urging upon them the duty they owed to society by a preservation of the peace, asked if she should he sent to the Hospital, “No,” cried a few scatter ing voices. “Shall she he sciu< to the Alms House I” “No, no, no—send her to the Wash ington College.” 'The hint was acted on, and she was accordingly after the excitement had become somewhat allayed, placed in a hark, and under the escort of the mayor carried to that in stitution, where she has been placed in comfort able quarters. 'The only cause she would assign for her conduct was that she wanted to gel out, though she acknowledged she was well treated in the institution. From what wo cun learn, “Sister Isabella” is a lady of from 23 to 25 years of age. Her family name is Sarah Neal, and she is from Georgetown, I). C., where her family, which is of the highest respectability, resides.— For many years she has exhibited symptoms of insanity, a malady that one of her brothers is now laboring under, and after her admission into the convent the evidences of an alienation of reason became so eccentric that at the advice of the physician of the institution she was with drawn from the school-room, and allowed to in dulge in the solitude she seemed desirous to court. Her malady, we are informed, grew upon her until she conceived that it was her duty to ab stain from all nourishment of the usual kind. When pressed by the mother to partake, of some nourishment, she refused, and begged to he al lowed to eat peach leaves, grass, and other articles not edible for a human being. Yesterday morn ing she was persuaded by the attending physi cian to cat a hearty meal, and she revived. The dinner hour is about half-past eleven, and sister Isabella, at the table, seemed more than usually rational. With the cunning of the insane, she requested to be allowed to go in the kitchen and attend to the culinary affairs, which request was granted by the Superior, and she descended to the lower story. There is a window in the kitch en about six feet from the ground, without blinds or bars, and out of this window she leaped, a few minutes after she had been in the apartment, aud rushed into the street as before described.— She had frequently before expressed a desire to leave the institution, and enter that of the sisters of charily; hut it was incompatible witli their vows and the regulations of the contract into which she had voluntarily entered when she be came a member of the order. Such are the facts as we asceitaincd them from an authentic source. Cj 5- The foregoing account, we are requested to say, is inaccurate'in regard to the age of the Nun, she being some ten years older than is stated above. 'The Post of yesterday afternoon has the fol lowing additional statement: “We learn that the request of the Rev. Mr. Gildca, superintendent of the Institution, a com mittee consisting of Gen. Leakin, Mayor of the city, Judge Worthington, of the City Court, and Henry Myers, Esq., went yesterday evening through the entire building, and into every de partment to satisfy themselves whether any of the inmates were kept there through restraint.— They conversed freely with the nuns who unhesi tatingly answered their inquiries that they had no wish to leave the institution ; that they wore contented and happy, and no consideration could induce them to abandon the quiet scenes of their religious retirement.” We learn thatsoon after dark on Sunday, there were a gathering of persons in the vicinity of the rear wall of the Nunnery, hut they immediately dispersed ou being warned by acitizen who com manded the armed party within, that if any at tempt to scale the walls would be at the peril of those who made it. The City Guard, under General O’Donnell, occupied the street in front of the Nunnery on Sunday night, fully armed lor the maintenance of the public peace and the protection of private t property. No disposition, however, was mani fested to violate either, the crowds who were drawn thither by apparently sheer curiosity hav ing gradually retired as the night advanced. The City Horse Guard, which was on the ground, was dismissed about midnight. From the Cleveland Ohio Herald. Excursion to the Sault St. Marie. The voyage from Lake Huron to the Sanll, (pronounced Sou,) 54 miles, is alone worth the expense of the entire excursion to the West. Na ture is here seen in her primitive attire, and seems in sportive mood to have united the wild, the | grand, the beautiful, and the picturesque in a sin- I gle panatamaof lakes, rivers, islands, rocks, ever- I greens, mountains and vales. Lake Huron, as j you approach Point dc 'Tour, is thickly studded | • I with islands of various size and shape, and on I entering West Strait, Drummond’s Island stretch- | es away on the right. This island was fortified j by the British after the fall of St. Joseph, is now i ~~I~MBBIIB 1 I , American ground, and n valuable position in aid nt tlie lur trade. St Joseph Island, just above Drummond’s, contains an urea of about fifty-sev en thousand acres ol land, and was occupied by the British in 1795, Colonel Groghan destroy ed the village ol St. Joseph, and the mouldering ruins appear distinctly as you pass up the chan nel. The transparency of tho water among the thousand islands scattered between Huron and the Sun It, excites the admiration of every one. Yon look into the glassy deep, and the fleckered clouds are seen far down mirrored in all their beauty, while the boat seems floating midway be tween them, so perfect is the illusion. Tho place railed Sailer’s Encampment, from the circumstances that a party of boatmen from Lake Superior were here obliged to spend a win ter by sudden frost, is one of surpassing loveliness. Kooky isles, all mossy and green with low shrub bery, rise from too waters around, and no less than seven channels, like broad bands of silver, shoot out in various directions from this point The Indians have a few lodges on one of the most central islands, and their light, canoes were seen darling like arrows upon the rolling wavelets the Lexington left for many yards in her wake. The notes of our band echoed from island to isl and, and gently died away among the. hills rising in majesty on the horizon. Tho sky was clouded and a dreamy haziness seemed to settle on the hill lops, diffusing a softened coloring of azure, luxurious as Indian summer, over wilds and wa ters. A fairy land truly, but as we floated through Lake George and entered the mountain dcfde where the St. Mary has torn a passage to swell tho volume of the lower lakes from the vast foun tain ofSuperior, the solitary, tho rugged, the mag nificent prevailed. In comparative silence we passed through this high temple of creative pow er, until a symphony to the eternal anthem of Niagara fell on the ear, and the sparkling waters of the Sault. were descried in the perspective, tos sing foam-wreaths to heaven. What the French cull a sault, (lea)),) wo term a tall , and tho descent of waters here is about twenty-seven feet in three quarters of a mile. Above the falls, the river from the ocean lake flows with a deep, strong current for about fifteen miles, until it meets the ledge of rocks over which it rushes in such fury that the tumult continues for some distance below. The river is not far from a mile in width at the falls, so that a sheet of leaping foam, about a mile each way, is spread before you. Mrs. Jameson describes the “effect as exactly that of the ocean breaking on a rocky shore: not so terrific, nor on so largo a scale us the rapids of Niagara, but quite us beautiful— quite as animated.”—Lamnansays, “ut this place nature assumes an air of unusual grandeur and sublimity. Vast fragments of rocks, consisting of granite and hornblende lie embedded in the stream, which, opposed to tho current of the ra pids, scatter its foam around the maple, the (line, the hemlock, and the elm, mingled in green for ests upon its hanks. The canoes of the Indians engaged in fishing, which are seen plying around the font of the lulls; and the distant mountains of Lake Superior, which stand like mighty battle ments on the horizon, impress the scenery with a character of solitary grandeur.” A band of the great Chippewa tribe, scattered from Montreal along the bo usd ary waters for some three thousand miles towards the north west, reside at the Sault. During the warm months they follow fishing as a chief business, and in winter take enough through the ice for subsis tence. Some forty barrels are taken daily at the Sault at this season of the year. The fish trade is Cast becoming an important item in Lake Commerce, and Superior is an exhaustless fishpond. Fish ing establishments are now in operation at various points on that Lake, and wc heard it stated ul the Sault that the great Fur Company monopoly bus secured five thousand barrels already this season. Herring, pike, pickerel, trout, siskevat, and other varieties, abound plentifully in Lake Superior. When Michigan completes her contemplated ship canal around the falls, and Yankee enterprise finds free access to the Father of tho Northwes tern waters, the present monopoly of the fishe ries enjoyed by the Hudson Bay Company and the American Fur Company will be broken up, and the white canvass will he spread on every wave, hearing to eastern marts riches not yet ap propriated and scarcely conceived of.—Michigan commenced the woik last spring, lint the contrac tor was driven offhy the United States troop sta tioned at the Sault. The Government had some years previous dug a small mill race across the portage and erected a saw-mill, which the propo sed canal would interfere with ; hence the inter ruption of the work. The difficulty has since been settled, and the Government no longer ob jects tethc construction of the important work by the State. Below the. falls the river spreads out into a lovely bay, on the British side sprinkled with the store houses of the Hudson Bay Company, some neat dwellings, and scattering Indian lodges. On the American side,directly at the lower point oflhe falls, the old Indian village is located, and hark cabins and lodges, teeming with red men, still give an air of wildness to the spot. The shore of the little hay before the villages is lined with canoes, carefully taken from the water when not in use. Just below, the American town rises gently from the water—a medley of lodges, hark cabins, log buildings, and a few well built residences. From the suburbs Fort Brady looks down upon the river, and the white barracks around a green grass plat convey a feeling of health, neatness, and comfort to the mind rarely met with in more ac cessible stockades. Adjacent to the fort tho Johnsons have an elegant scat, pretty as can be found on the romantic Hudson. Most of the Sault Indians are members of the Baptist, Methodist, or Catholic Societies, and the Sabbath was very generally observed by them as a day of rest. Not a fishing bark was seen in the rapids, and such is tho influence of the reign ing chief, that a violation of his command in this respect, would he visited by a breaking up of the canoe of the offender, by the whole band. The Kev. Mr. Bingham officiates in English at the Baptist mission school room, a half breed inter preter following him in the Chippewa tongue. Half breeds, mainly French Canadians, form a large proportion of the population nt the Sault, and the French and Indian languages are princi pally spoken. Wo were fortunate in meeting at the Sault, a large party of the wildest of the wild men Blackbird and hi* band from Lupnint, 450 miles across Lake Sujierior, They area large stalwart, and exceedingly muscular race—half naked, painted and ornamented with trinkets, claws of beasts, talons of birds, feathers, stuffed skins and every thing hideous and grotesque in nature. I hey had never licfore seen a steamboat, and with true Indian stoicism, after the first look of won der they appeared careless and indifferent. The government interpreter, an intelligent and com j municative half breed, informed us that they were j not really so, iut that they looked upon the boat as the work of the Great Spirit—that every part exposed to view was closely noted ; and that the wonderful lire ship would form the theme of ma- I ny a talk at their future feasts and dances. To , «’« r «l* cvoninpr they were invited on hoard the j boat to give a dance, Some thirty, appeared j nearly naked, armed, painted and disfigured an horribly as imagination can conceive. They were preceded by Blackbird, and two or three Indian musicians bearing instruments of parchment stretched upon a hoop, something like a drum head, i’hesp they heat with a stick, accompany* iug the thumps with a low guttural song, and gi vi hi? an occasional whoop in which they were joined by the whole party. Before commencing the dance the calumet was presented to the officers of the hunt by Blackbird, ami passed round among the spectators. In dan cing, the dusky savages termed a circle, and close ly crowded face to bark, leaning slightly forward, a regular tramp was commenced. Keeping time with the music, short, piercing yells were uttered, occasionally prolonged into the startling w hoop, by quickly striking the band rapidly upon the mouth. A grand war dance closed the exhibi tion, in which the braves recounted their deeds— brandished their weapons as in the fight—anil the dreadful war whoop sent a chill through the blood of every stranger to such savage scenes. Cor,. Preston. —The Southern Christian Ad vocate, in reference to the account of Col. Pres ton’s centenary subscription to the Methodist cause, which is going the rounds of the Northern papers, and which wo published in Tuesday’s Courier, contains the following: —Charleston Courier. It is untrue in every particular, except that on that occasion Col. P. did present himself among the contributors. 11 is subscription was made in silence, except only his stating to the secretary, or some gentleman by, the sum ho wished set . down to his name; and which was not $lOOO. We suppose the story ha-s been fabricated upon the report of the proceedings of the meeting in Ibis paper; ami which, as far ns it concerned Col. Preston, was in the following words : “It was gratifying to our feelings to sec the lion. W. C, Preston, of the U, S, Senate, among the first who came to the altar-place, in acknowl edgement. (as we were told,) of his indebtedness to Methodism in the person of Mrs. Russell, of blessed memory, who was not more distinguished for being the sister of Patrick Henry, than for her own extraordinary piety and parts. Bishop Ashury used to call her “the elect Indy,” (from St. John,) and she it appears was Col. Preston’s grand-mother, and with her he passed his child hood.” Fikst rate Business.— A doctor in Vor’ mont had a son who studied his father’s profession! removed to a distant Stale, married and went in to practice. After the lapse of about three years, the father visited his son, and during the visit he requested the laCcr to take him around his “ride,” that he might see the extent of his practice. Dur ing the excursion, the old gentleman remarked two new' meeting houses, with grave yards at tached, which, the younger informed him, had both been erected since his residence there. He also told his father that he had very frequent calls to a distance from his regular circuit. Upon the old gentleman’s return home, his wife asked him “how Fred was doing 1” i “Well—very well—first rate,” he replied, “he ’ has already filled one grave yard full; another 1 nearly so, ami is doing a pretty fair chance busi ness all about in other parts of the country.”— Philei. Public Ledger. 1 The above reminds us of a notice given in the 1 papers many years since, by a waggish editor who > yet drives the quill. It run as follows, names • omitted : ' “ Doct. W. T.

White, of Charleston. OBIT CAR Y. Died in Burke county, about two weeks since, at the residence of her father, Miss Hannah E. Murphbee, daughter of Mr Wright Murprhce, in the fourteenth year of tier age. Itis tvera painful task to announce the death of a fellow bung, but when the duty devolves upon us to communicate the intelligence of the depart ure of a young female in the bloom of youth, one who possessed superior qualities in an era incut de gree, the heart sectm ready to burst with alfection. The writer of this obituary was well acquainted with Hannah—he knew her when she sat in the school room in the midstuf her frienVls and school mates—he knew her to possess a heart that never concealed an unkindly feeling— but now that heart has ceased to throb—she is lost to the sight of all her earthly friends, and is now enjoying that felic ; ity known only in the presence oi a smiling Sav iour. It should be a pleasure to her parents to know that when their dear departed was known,she was beloved j that she is now enjoying happiness the world could never afford.
