We salute you in the love of Christ, desiring that, under the <iuickeuing influence of his Spirit, our members everywhere may flutl their rest in Him. "Other foundation can no man lay than that is laiil, which is Jesus Christ" As perfect man and true God, in Him is revealed a Redeemer, able to stiller, omnipotent to save. " 15y Him were all tilings created.'' " lti Him was life, and the life was Ihe light of men." " In Him dwel leth all the tnllness of tl'e Godhead bodily." He is the example of nil righteousness. He *' was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." He it is who declared, '• 1 am He that liveth ami was dead ; and, hehold, I am alive lor ever-more." Risen, ascended, and glori-fied, He is "the Head overall tliiugs to the Church;'' tho "great Higu Priest that is passed into the heavens.'" To Him the rather hath given authority to execute judg-ment also, because He is tho Sou ot in,til. In thus declaring our unwavering allegiauce to our 1.. .id aud Re-deemer, our hearts have been united in a humbling sense of that which we. owe to Him in his " great salva-tion." Depraved and corrnptedio the lull, the heart ol man is power-less to cleanse itself. Peace with God cannot lie known whilst sin remains nuforgiveu ; and how shall .-.in be purged, and the law remain inviolate, without an atonement' Nothing we can do can avail to cancel past transgressions, "By grace are ,vc saved, through faith." • Cod commend) ih bis love toward us, in that while we were yet sin neis Christ died lor us." It has pleased God to show forth the riches of his mercy in that great propitiation wherein his righteous-ness and love are alike revealed, - that He might be just, and the justifier of bint which belicveth in Jesus." We desire ever to maintain the doctrine concerning the Holy Ghost, as unfolded by our Lord Jesus Christ aud his Apostles. We ac-knowledge no principle of spiritual light, life, holiness inherent in man's lallen nature, or springing out of his unaided intellect. Ours has ever been a testimony to the power and work of the Holy Ghost, who is one with the Father and with the Son. Convincing of sin, testifying of Jesus, instructing and guiding in the way ol holiness ; the teaching of the Spirit humbles man before God, and brings to the ac-ceptance, in living laith, of tin-glad tidings of salvation through our crucified Redeemer. None who are truly taught of the Spirit can dishonor the Lord Jesus, or in any wise disesteem his sacrifice, medi-tation, or intercession. In'the firm hold of these funda-mental t nn h«. and in their practical application in the daily walk, how strong is the bond which joins together the faithful in Christ Jesus. United in the rev-erent and devout confession of "the name ol the Father, and of '.he Son, and ol the Holy Ghost," hav-ing become " followers of God, as dear children," they know the rock to be underneath, their foundation to be sure. Rut let it never be forgotten, that uo mere profession of the truth can avail in the sight of God. The words are of universal application, " Ye must be bornagaiu." Knowl-edge will but add to onr condem-nation, unless we bo willing aud obedient. Let us, then, scriously exainiue ourselves. Have we ex-perienced this mighty change t Arc we walking iu the ' Spirit, bringing tort h fruit unto holiness! The true Christian is not of this world. His life is a continual war fare, calling for constant vigilance agaiust the wiles of his unwearied enemy. In the recollectiou that he is not bis own, be will use diligence to be a faithful steward, whether of his substance, ot bis time, or of bis opixiitnuities. He will watch both agaiust tho inflner.ee of worldly tare, nnd agaiust tho seductions of luxury and case. His walk will manifest the presence of Christ in the soul. In his pursuits; in the choice both of his reading and of his companions; in his engage-ments, whether iu the Church or in the world, be will be governed by an habitual reference to the will of God, towards whom his heart will turn with instincts of the re-newed nature as the needle to the pole. We would again affectionately press upon onr dear Friends the duty and privilege of prayer. We mourn over those who are depriving themselves, of much blessing, iu not more lieely yielding up their hearts to communion with their Father iu heaveu. Little prayer implies little faith ; and with little laith there can be but little love ; for this cause we cannot but fear that many ure in a state of spiritual sickness, and that some eveu sleep. We would entreat these not to allow their con-fessed weakness to discourage them from prayer: it ought rather to lie an inducement to this blessed duty. "Therefore," saith the prophet, "will the Lord wait that He may be gracious unto you." " The Spirit helpeth our infirmities, for we know not what we should pray for as we ought." It is not the absence of his heart tendering visitations, but our own hesitancy or want of faith, that we have to deplore. The broken aud the contrite heart need not hold back, now full is this promise,— " Verily, verily, I say unto you whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, He will give it yon." Hay parents or heads of families bo under no undue restraint in the ex-ercise of this privilege before their children or households. The quali-fication for such services may differ iu degree from that winch should be waited tor on more public occasions. The sense of uevii, of parental re-spousibility, of the priceless value of the souls eutiusted to our care, may not only warrant, but require, such acts of dedication on the part of those who are not called to a more public ministry : whilst onr Countless blessings claim ihe tribnte ol praise from thankful hearts. And as regards more public occasions, may those who meet lor worship come together with praying hearts, and in a child like spirit, willing to yield to the gentle consti.lining in-fluences that may tightly find ex-pression in vocal supplication, tho' it may be in words simple and few. The deficiencies reported in the attendance of meetings for worship in the middle of the week, have claimed our close attention. We doubt not lhat many who absent themselves from these meetings would giadly attend them were it not for the belief thai the nature ol their business, and the close compe-tition with which they have to con-tend, require theirconstant presence or oversight. We would affection-ately invite these to remember how-explicit is the injunction,." Seek ye first the kingdom of God aud his righteousness " Be on your guard against an expenditure of time and strength U|MIII the things of earth, which leaves little lo be devoted to the interests of the soul. Do your utmost to make your midweek meetings prior engagements to which, except under very special circumstances, all others must be subject. Let parents consider how prejudicial an influence it must have upon the characters of theii chil-dren, to train them np in the habit-ual neglect of these meetings. In connexion with this subject, we have been brought into close sym-pathy with members of very small meetings, who find in them little outward encouragement. Remem-ber, dear Friends, that the true worshippers meet not as isolated in-dividuals. Gathered in the name of Jesus through Him they "have access by one Spirit unto the Fath-er, as members of that spiritual household which is but one, whether on earth or in heaven. Life from the Head must ever dis-tinguish the living church. This life prevails only in so far as the members are themselves brought through faith, into living relation to Christ, and the life received from Him freely circulates through the whole body. In the. mutual inter-change of sympathy and of service, each may find his place; some in the feeding of the flock ; others in giving wise encouragement to the youthful disciple, or in bringing the little ones to Jesus; whilst others may be called to proclaim the free invitation of the Gospel to those who are yet alai%iff. We rejoicu in believing that many of our members arc engaged, in love to Christ, in one or other of these services. We would affectionately remiud such that the work of the Lord's house must all have reference to Him, and be under the regulating influence of his Spirit; and that holiness be-couietb every member of his house-hold. We have received Epistles from onr dear Friends in Ireland, and from ten of the Yearly Meetings on the American Continent, including that of Kansas, held for the first time in the autumn of last year. They report a considerable accession of numbers in some parts of Ameri-ca, and give a cheering impression of a zealous iuterest tor the advance ineiit of the Retleemer's kingdom. We continue warmly to sympathize with onr American Friends in their labours among the freedmen,and in the responsible part which tlu-y have been called upon to take in relation to somo of the scattered remnants of the Indian tribes. In the solemn review of onr posi-tion as a religious Society, we desire. humbly to acknowledge the Lord's long-suffering goodness, and that our great need is au unreserved submission to the converting and sanctifying work of bis Holy Spirit upou us. As this becomes our ex-perience, there will bo more and more of the practical recognition of the manifoldness of the Christian • life, amidst the difference of admin istration in which that life is exhib ited in the church. As the variety in the outward world shews forth the wisdom and goodness of God; so, in the spiritual creation, the di-versity of operations iu no wise in-teiferes with that blessed harmony which is known in the subjection of each unto Christ. Where nereigns, all uncharitableness is excluded. His presence in the son! is manifest-ed by meekness, gentleness and love. " Rowels of mercies, kind ness, humbleness of mind," are put on ; and in the following of Jesus, under the teaching and leadiug of his Spirit, all are more and more knit together in bis love. May we press after this experience, accept ing in its full significance, the salu-tation of the Apostle, " Finally, brethren, farewell. Re perfect; be of good comfort; be of one mind; live in (seace ; and the God of love aud peace shall be with you." Signed iu aud on behalf of the Meeting, bv JOSEPH STORRS FREY, Clerk to the Meeting tint year. ■ A Celebrity. Says the New Orleans 77MM .-- "Last mouth there died in the hos-pital in St. Lenta, by whatever alias she might then be known, who nsed to be Stella del Norte. In the old mining days, when California was but a camp, aud the Golden City a rude collection of wooden shanties, the country was electrified to learn one day that as the cashier of the Rank of Califoruia was standing alone in his vault, a woman opened the door, and holding a pistol to his head, demanded 810,000 in notes. Feeling the cold muzzle of the pistol in close proximity to his brow, he very reluctantly consented, and the vision left, and the next day he received a very neat card, with the written inscription, 'Thanks. Stella del Norte.' She was afterwards ar-rested by a vigilance committee, dressed in man's attire, aud taken out to be banged, was fonnd to be a woman, when they released her, aud raised a subscription of 91,000, with which she left the country, aud co..iing to the Slates was known as a desperate Rhoplitter and sneak thief." McNider on Hotels. McNider, the premium laugbist. was iu town this week. Resides being the most accomplished laugh- 1st iii the world, Mc is no sardine, touching the comforts of this life. His experience with country hotels is rich and varied. His travelling paraphernalia consists of an extra size Saratoga, which besides being tilled with store clothes, contains 1 pair tongs, 1 poker. 2 pair of blank- Vts. 1 bed rut/, and assortment ot window glass, various sizes—from 8x10 to 12x14, 2 lbs. putty, l putty knife, 12 napkins, 12 towels, 2 pair sheets, ;.' pair pillow cases, 1 black-ing biush, 1 hair brush, 1 fine tooth comb, 1 looking glass, wash-bowl, pitcher and slop tub, 1 kerosene lamp, 1 great gross matches, 1 smoothing iron, 1 wash-board, 1 Hi-ble, 1 bottle bitters, I copy of the Concord Sun, and toilet articles too numerous to mention. He says he finds many hotels deficient iu ar-ticles of actual necessity, not to say articles of comfort, and be is deter-mined while travelling through this vale of tears, that all the comforts that money can buy shall be on baud.— Concord Sun. Captain Jack—His Head pre-served in a Public Museum ! What will civilized nations think of the preservation and exhibition in a public museum of the head of Captain Jack as a trophy or as a curiosity ' No matter how bloody, savage and treacherous a murderer the Modoc chief was, the exhibition ot his head is a disgrace to the Government and to the civilization Of that section of the country that controls it. It has long been a fa-vorite belief with our Northern brethren that man was a progressive animal that needed education only to rid him of what other people call the curse ol original sin ; but if any proof were needed to establish the falsity of this favorite belief it is to be found in the course of the Fed-eral Government in regard to the Modocs. From the order ot Gen- . eral Sherman for the extermination i of the whole tribe, innocent and ! guilty alike, to the preservation of tho head of Captain Jack and its [public exhibition, its course has i been barbarous and brutal to a | degree equalled only by the most untutored savages. If modern civili-zation teaches or permits such con-duct men may well pray to be de-livered from it. Arkansas carpet-baggers have evinced an ingenuity in stealing which would be funny if it were not ; so costly. A railroad, in aid of ; which bonds were issued, was built ' in a i>eculiar way. As soon as one jsection was provided with rails, I ties, &c, and the bonds obtained ! thereon, the same rails and ties were taken up aud put down again on the next section, for which a further issue is demanded. The result is that the bonds exist as the only memento of the railroad, and the people are consulting whether they ought to be paid or not. A Juror Excited Recently a juror approached the clerk ot the supreme Jodieal Court and stated that it would be impossi-ble for him to serve. "Why not V inquired the clerk. "Because Tm deaf," responded the juror. The clerk bad risen for incredu-lity, and so informed the deaf man . in a whisper that he would report' but that his case to the Judge. Turning to his honor he said : "Mr. Badman, of Manchester, desires to be ex-cused." "What are bis reasons V asked his honor, without raising his eyes from the paper he was reading. "He says he is deaf," replied the clerk. A Judge in Alabama recently in-terrupted a very flowery yoong ora-tor with, "Hold on, my dear sir ! Don't go any higher. You are al-ready out of the jurisdiction of this court" A goose, known to be 70 years old, died recently in Scotland. "He is excused," said the judge quickly ; "if he is deaf we don't want him ; if he is a liar we don't want him." Mr. Badman is at home now.— KasHau Telegraph. To Which Class, or a Menag-erie of Drunkards. The most foolish predicament a man ever got into is to get drunk. In drunkenness every man shows his strongest and most ardent pas-sion. There are six drnnkards, and if you will go into a city drinking place, where there are a dozen men under the influence of liquor, you will be sure to find these six differ-ent animaN. The first isape-drunk. He leaps, and sings, and yells, and dances, making all sorts of"monkey shines" to excite the laughter of his fellows! O, terriblo silly is the drunken clown. The second is chicken drnnk; feels terribly ashamed of himself and quietly steals away to bed, as a chicken would crawl nnder the bay or be-hind a barrel in the corner. The third is tiger drunk. He breaks the heads of fellowcarousers, and is full of blood and thunder. His eyes are fued with vengeance and bis soul raves with murderous fury. Of this sort are those who abuse their families. The fourth is hog-drunk, ne rolls in the dirt on the floor, slobbers and grunts, and go-ing in the slreet makes his bed in the first ditch or filthy corner he may happen to fall into. lie is heavy, lumpish, aud sleepy, and cries in a grunting way for a little more to drink. He will weep for kindness, and whine his love and ling you in his arms, and kiss you with his Slobbery lips and proclaim how he loves you. You are the l>est man he ever saw, and will lay down his money or life for you.— The fifth is owl-drunk, ne is wise in his conceit No man must differ with him, tor his word is law. He iR true iu politics, and all matter must be taken as authorities. His arm is the strongest, his voice the sweetest, his horse the fleetest, his turnips the largest, his town the finest of all in the. town or land.— The sixth and last animal of our menagerie is the fox-drunk man.— He is crafty, ready to trade horses and t-heat if he can. Keen to strike a bargain, leering around with low, running, peeping through cracks, listening under the eaves, watching for some suspicious thing, sly as a fox, sneaking as a wolf, he is the meanest drunkard of them all. Farmer's Young Men. The tendency exhibited by yoong men to shirk labor, is a growing evil. _ Farmers' sons are accepting all kinds of substitutes in the place of honest labor on the farm. They are seeking employment as clerks in the towns and villages. They have an idea that to be respectable they must not labor on the farm ; a position behind the counter is far more honorable. So they are constantly applying for places. When everything is prosperous they get nearly enongh wages to meet their current expenses, but when a crash like that which is now sweeping over the country comes, their folly becomes appareut Thrown out of employment they find themselves Tho Original JLimlta of North • Carolina- "When, ih November, 1T89, North Carolina acceded to the Union, It ras composed of States, with a -ingle exception, lying on the At-lantic. To-day, after a lapse of sixty years, her senators and rep-resentatives an discnasing the ad-mission of a young and wealthy territory lying, on the Pacific and fronting the antient empire of China. I presume that it is not generally recollected that this terri-tory, some three thousand miles to our west, was originally a part of North Carolina, in the charter given by Charles II. of England, to certain of his countries, Carolina contained all the land lying be-tween the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans within the parallels of 29° and 36}° of north latitude. Its northern limits entered the Pacific at the Ray of Mounterey, only a few miles south ot that of San Francisco, and is famous as the line of the Missouri Compromise.

Under all these adverse circum-stances, it is uot surprising that our young men and boys should be despondent. They are called upon to engage in employments to which they have never been insured, and they are requited to make sacrifices of that which they have always been accustomed to enjoy. 1 annexed to the destinies of its pareut State.—S.

The Virginia (Nevada) Enterprise of Oct. 7 says: A few days since the daughter of a well-to-do ranchman, residing on the headwaters of fhe Walker river, a handsome and well educated young lady, about sixteen or seven-teen vears of age, eloped with a young man of the I'iute persuasion, who had been working about her father's place. The girl and her dusky lover got considerably the start of her father, and, it would seem, did somo tall traveling to-ward the wilderness and the war-rior's castle of sagebrush on the Lake of Walker, but the father did not let the grass grow uuder feet or his horse's hoof. lie procured the best horse in the settlement and rode a distance of ISO miles in eighteen hours. He caught his runaway daughter somewhere be-tween Walker Lake and the Sink ol the Carson, and snatched her bald headed. What became ot the gallant " lover" we have not learued. The chances are that the irate parent made it so warm for him that be will not hereafter banker alter a white father-in-law. " Hold on ! don't shoot I I'm not an animal, but a fellow-being," ex-claimed a lonely traveler, as he suddenly came upon a hunter who had leveled a rifle at his breast, and seemed about to fire. " I must shoot yon," was the ominous reply; " I'm under a Vow to do it. I vowed years ago that if I ever came upon a man uglier than I am I'd shoot him down on tbe spot" The travel-er gave the hnnter one searching glance, and then, with determined voice, said : " Shoot away ; if I'm uglier than you are I don't want to live." The crack of the hunter's rifle was uot heard. ing detected. A number ot lresh-men collected together in one of their number's room, and were en-joying a good game ot euchre when a knock was beard at tbe door. "Who's there I" one exclaimed. "Me!" was the laconic reply. "Who's me." "Professor F ." "You lie ! Ha, ha, ba ! Professor F wouldn't say *M«." He'd say, 'It hi, sir I" Tbe old professor turned his back and went off, knowing that they had him there. Wise Philanthropy.—The late Wm. Wheelwright of Newburyport, who died in London a few weeks since, was one of those few men who knew how to use. his money wisely while living and distribute it discreetly at death. His estate is understood to amount to upwards of nine hundred thousand dollars. He has left to tho city of Nowbnry port $^110,000 to establish a scien-tific school in that city. Besides this munificent bequest, the books of Mr. Wheelwright show that he has given away daring the last ten years *0<»0,000". foot-pounds of tho water fall. Di-vide 3,750,000 by 33,000; and we have 113ij as the horse power of the fall. Tbe power ol the steam-engine is calculated by multiplying to-gether tbe area of the piston in iucbes, the meau pressure in pounds per square inch, the length of the stroke iu feet, aud tbe number of strokes |>er minute: and dividing by 33,000. Water-wheels yield from 50 to 01 per cent of the water. Tbe actual power of a steam-engine is less than the indicated power, owing to a loss from friction; the amount of tbis loss varies with tbe arrange-ment ot the engine aud tbe per-fection of the workmanship. The Western Corn and Pork Crop. The Chicago Cowmerciai Review, i of Friday, publishes a table of i replies received by a provisions house of that city from correspond-ents in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Ohio, and Indiana, to in-quires in regard to the number of bogs likely to be sent to market from their sections, their present condition, probable time of market-ing, and the condition of the corn Of 07 points in Illinois 5-s A South Carolina genius has made a wooden watch, chain, and | crop. seal, that, for delicacy of workman- i report a less number of bogs than ship, is said to surpass anything of i„st year, 27 about tbe same nnm. the kind ever made in this country, her, and 12 more.

I once knew a bad boy who struck his sister a blow over the eye. Although she didn't fade and die in the summer time, when tbe June roses were blooming, with sweet words of kindness on her pallid lips, she rose up and hit him over the head with the rolling-pin, so that he couldn't go to school for over a month, on account of not being able to put on his hat" which is, that chickens should use hair-pins when venturing out in a toruado. ^_^____^____ " The slanderous soul is imbued with the electric fire of bell.
