From the N. Y. Religious Chronicle.
London Religious Tract Society,"

The twenty anniversary Of
this institution was celebrated on the
22d of May last. The issues oil
the society's publications, during the
last year, exceeded in value those Of the
preceding by nearly 5000 dollars.
The total. amount issued from the
Depository, since the organization Of
the society, exceeds eighty millions, ex-
GLIDING those published in foreign coun-
tries al its expense, which amount TO
many additional millions. The, new
ones for the last year have amounted TO
one hundred and seventeen.
or the Tracts, sc. circulated in En-
gland 1860 have been distributed in
the courts and ALLEYS of London. The
Sailors, Watermen aud Bargemen have
received $4,000 of the publications OF
the society. They have also been scat
tered about over every quarter Of the
globe. In China their publications are
found OF the greatest assistance TO the
Missionaries, and have proved accepta-
BILE to the natives. Al Bombay, the A
merican Missionaries have circulated
more than t 900 Tracts, and the com
mittee Of this society, highly approving
their zeal and Judgment, have sent them
4.5oO English Tfacts from their own
Depository. In about one year, there
were distributed either 10 MdliUcca, or
on board vessels in the harbor, or sent
to the countries and islands around, ia
600 Tracts.
A report Of the Secretary of society
in Calcutta says, mary thousands of
Tracts have been distributed and re-
ceived with ayidity by the natives. 10
Spanish America various grants Of Span
ish Tracts have been made. More
than 10000 have been forwarded to
Mexico, Honduras, Rio de Ia Plata, Peru
and Buenos Ayres. Tracts have been
circulated in the Russian Empire to a
, considerable extent.

NEW ENGLAND CONFERENCE.

The New-Eugland Conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church adjourned
on Wednesday last, after a very har-
monlous session of eight days. Bishop
George presided. Much business was
transacted, from which It appears that
The affairs of the Conference are in a
prosperous condition, and that the state
Of religion within its bounds is such as
ought TO cheer the hearts of the follow
ers of Jesus, and encourage them to
ego forward" Twenty-three preach
ers were received on trials were
ordained Deacons-22 were ordained
Elders, and one located. The number
of travelling preachers is IA. The
whole number Of members 10 connex
ion with the church is l6,925.-The
increase during the last year was $40
The next meeting of the Conference is

BRUMMELLIANA.

A few select anecdotes of that exquis-

readers; though they must forever dis

hope of arriving at such perfection OF
puPPyism.

time, TO eat no vegetables, and being
asked by lady if he had never eaten

Somebody inquiring where he was
going TO dine nextday, was told that he
really did not know3 they'll put me in

Having borrowed some money of a
city beau, whom he patronised in return,
he was one day asked 10 repay it !; up.
on which he thus complained to a
friend; do you know what has hap
pened?' ".No," Why, do you know,
there's that fellow Tompkins, who lent
me FIVE hundred pounds; he has had
the face to ask me for il; and yet had
called the dog 'Tom,' and LET myself
dine with him.

Temper; or, the tlOo old Ladies.
In huge old-fasbioned, red brick
house, with a great many tall narrow
windows in front, and high flight Of
stone steps up TO the door, lived two
old ladies, commonly called Mrs. Abb
gail and Mrs. Dorothy. They had liv-
ed there for many and many year
they never altered the fashion of their
dress, and were very exact and regular
in all their habits and customs. Everyday
ofthe week they were driven out at the
same hour, in their old.fashioned coach,
by their old-fashoned coachman and, al
the same hour, they returned home so
that, when the coach passed through
the iowa, either going or returning,
every body knew what was O'clock
They neither paid visits nor received
company al. their house and the few
servants they kept, had lived with them
so many years, that none but the aged
people of the place could remember
the least alteration in the household.
The old ladies dressed exactly alike
and we're nearly of the same age; then
customs, also, we're quite similar; SC
that, TO observe them at a distance, j

There is an eventide IN human
life {; a season when tho eye becomes
dim, and the strength decays, aud
when the winter Of age begins to

phctic SHOWS. II is the season of
life to which the autumn is most a.

and much it would profit you, my

ions which the season brings. The

who gave them. You have enter.

BEAUTIES or NATURE.

BEAUTIES OF NATURE.
intellectual curiosity is the distin
gaisling charactcristick Of man
II IL this that stimulates the aspir-
ing youth ''to climb the rugged steeI
where Fame. proud temple shines a
far"---which gives birth to all those
bright and valuable improvements in
the arts and sciences which So no.
bly, adorn civilized life. Aided by
by these ArCl,ime,lics could set in
frantic sport the Roman fleet; the
trembling needle direct the mariner
across the pathless ocean; and the
immortal press save from the wreck
of time the noblest productions Of
human genius while the philoso-
phcr, disdaining all bounds, traces
the very footsteps of Nature, and
pursues her to tho last seat Of her
operations. Not content with oh
serving lIer ordinary conduct, he
strives to oxhort, by incessant in
terrogation, the innermost secrets Of
her bosom. Now scrutinizing the
inimitable texture Of tue radiant sun
beam and now, with daring bold
ness, stealing the lightning from the
clouds.
To the wise observer, every thing
affords a them for the most dev0ut
and pleasing contemplation. The
falling OF an apple the borning of a
taper aud the gentle breeze that
shakes the quiyering leaf, speak 10
less Instructions tu his mind, than
The still louder Voice that is heard in
the furious whirlwind, and the dasli-
ing cataract. Every thing about us
is life and beauty. Every fras rant
gale that blows =; every inurnuring
stream +; and every verdant plain.
Conspirc to transport the mind, and
cheer The sad and melancholy hours
Of life. All around is happiness and
Joy. The cheerful bee that reveIs
upon the flowers, the playful lambs
that sport upon the hills, and the
my riads Of tuncfuI birds that carol
in the grove, manifest their joy in
the surrounding scenery. Tins in
decd ought to be a happy world..--
Nature seems to have iavivled her
goodness in its creation. But man,
ungrgteiul man. admist every thing
,nAl can please his eve, charm his
imagination, or crafty his appetite,
alone remains the slave of discomfort
aud misery.
In natural scenery the poet loves
to range; here he plucks those dc.
licious iloN crs which so richly adorn
his words and here the aspiring
mind i,nhibes that restless desire for
philosophic research, which knows
no bounds but the Uniserse. The
beauties of art may indeed for a
time entertain the mind but they
soon become insipid, Familiarity,
renders them iasteless. The CapaC-
ious mind, scorned to be confined 10
thepnice contrivances of art, bursts
forth iuts the boundless field of crea-
ton, and there Municipalities "ithous
restraint whatever is +" sublimely
great or elegantly iitle,". just as i,
fen from tie rough hand Of Nature.
In vain does art attempt to initiate
the bold grandeur Of the mountain
in vain does sue cndeavOur Ia en-
Iiancc the beauty of the landscape.
