which he reposes is ceaselessly and most
rapidly whirling along its trackless path
in the heavens (; and that, moment by mo
ment, he is borne along through the fields
of space with a fearful and inconceivable
velocity. But when, from further wan
derings, but on better testimony,-when
from higher and stranger world, but
with fuller evidence and with more indu-
bitable tokens Of veracity, Faith comes
back, bringing assurances that tally not
in all things with our preconceived con-
lectures, shall she be chidden and bias
phemed for the difficulties that arise from
our own ignorance ? Without the mys-
teres of the gospel, revelation would be
unlike all the other provinces Of human
knowledge, and the domains of Faith
would be dissimlar from all the rest OF
the handiwork Of God"

persons. Six men in boat, with cork
apparatus attached to each Of their bod

suddenly upset the boat, but they with the
boat soon regained their positions in safe

side, and next overturned with her keel
uppermost, but she instantly recovered
her right position without any water be-

among the spectators, who expressed
themselves perfectly satisfied with the sue

covet not in foren lands,
To spend my days in worthless show
covet not from foreign hands,
The fairest gifts they can bestow.
From thee one rosebud TO receive,
Would glad me more than ruby's glare,
The palest lily thou coulds't give
I'd value more than pearls most rare:
Sweeter to catch thy youthful sigh,
Aad know that it was breath'd for me,
Than at my feet as mine, see lie,
The fruit Of every tropic tree.
I'D rather ia a desert dwell,
With nought but heaven and thee to love me
Than yield my heart to wealth's cold spell,
And hear each worldly lip approve me.
To please thee would be my life's last pleasure
To grieve would be my liie's worst harm
But with my life, my love I'll measure
For nought but death can break the charm.

ASTRONOMY.

He who can look upon the irmane mt
in cloudless night, with soul untouche d
must be wholly incapable of relishng any
intellectual food. If there be any sa 70
criterion to prove the depth Of the min d,
it may unhesitatingly DE said, Astronomy.
1t may be set down as indisputable, if the
mind of child cannot be excited to in
quiry, by explaining the dimensions, dis
tances, and revolutions of the planets,
there is vacuum that can never be filled.
The remark of an experienced teacher is,
"Many Ounce and many truant has
been put into my hands and pronounced
nearly hopeless, who has approximated TO
first-rate scholarship, by faithful elucida-
ton OF this sublime science, and where
this has failed all other expedients are
unavailing" What pity, then that this
important study should be so much neg
lected in the early education Of children,
that Orion and his belt, Pleiades and Arc
turus, are not as familiar TO the child, as
the marble and ball he tosses.

EFFECTS OF INDUSTRY.

IT is stated that when Mr.. Coke, the
celebrated English Farmer, took possess
ion Of his farm at Holkham, in Norfolk,
it was so poor and worn out that it would
not even bring grass. He said jocosely
that there was but one blade q grass on the
whole farm, for achich t,Do rabbits were
fighting. But by labor and skill he has
made this farm the most beautiful anc
productive in all England, and Mr.. Cook
is now one Of the richest and most dislin-
gushed farmers in the VIII ole country.

Mn. RANDALL,

Mn. RANDALL,
II has often been remarked that the analogy
between the ,corks and the ,Sord Of God extends
much further than we are apt to imagine. The
B;bye does not, as infdels would fain have us be-
I;eve. contradict the revelations which God has
mode in his works. In fact it confirms them, and
adds others so fully harmonizing with them, that
a powerful argument may be drawn from this very
source, in favor Of the inspiration Of the bible
Revelation, even where it scars above reason,
does not contradict it, and wherever we can COM
mare these, we shall find that they perfectly agree
Perhaps there is nothing in the Bible to which more
determined opposition has been made than TO the
representations which it gives of the nature and
;mportance of faith. The inconsistency Of the OBJ
iectons usually urged by sceptics against these rep
reservations is so forcibly exhibited in the following
extract from a sermon recently published, that |

SEEDS FOR SOWING.

The seeds of plants are in many par
ticulars like birds eggs, and as you would
choose the finest animals for breeders, so
let your vegetable stock proceed from the
best, soundest, and most vigorous seeds.
1t is not sufficient that your seeds barely
vegetate they should come strong and
vigorous ifyou would have them produce
fine crops. The seeds Of fruits are best
sown with the fruit. DIR. Darwin observ-
ed, in substance, that when the fruit,
which surrounds any kind of seeds can be
sown with them, it may answer some good
purpose. Thus the fruits of crabs, qun-
ces, and some hard pears may be all the
winter unnjured if covered only with their
autumnal leaves, and will contribute
much to noursh their terminating seed.

Mr. HAILE.-I have only to say, and 1
say il more in spirit Of regret than with
any other feeling, that when any member

as gentleman, and his standing as a
member of this House, as to resort to
low, scurrillous personal abuse upon me,

rules Of this House by descending to
the use Of such language in reply. With
regard to the charges which the gentle
man has brought against me, and the mo-
tives which he has attributedto mel have
only to say that they are totally false, and
as wantonly and rnaliciously uttered as
they are destitute Of truth.

were offered by various members, and
among others the following by Mr. M'Kin
ney. 1t was rejected, we believe, but we

PUBLIC MEETING.

Agreeably to previous notice, large
number ofthe citizens of Cincinnati friend
ly to the election of JOHN MCLEAN as
the next President Of the United States,
met at the Court House on Saturday eve
ming, Dec. Ia, 1888.
o. motion OF J. J. Wright, the meet
ing was organized by Gen. JAMES FIND
LAY beng appointed President, after
which, j. j. Wright, ". c. STEWART and
Thatcher Lewis, were appointed Vice Pre-
sidents, and Geo. Graham, Jr. SanaI Find,
lag, aud o. NJ. Spencer, Jr. Secretaries.
A notice calling the meeting, having
be n read and the objects stated Mr.. J.
l.. Avery mov ed the appointment of a
committee to report a suitable preamble
aud resolutions, expressive of the sense
OF the meeting. The following gentle
men were then appointed that committee
Geo. Graham, Jr. Josiah Lawrence,
John Wood, Joseph Lands, d. e. A.
Strong, David Gwynne, Andrew Thorp,
Joseph Smith, J. l.. Avery, James Good
loe, VIM. 3. Dodson, Oliver Lowell, Dan
iel Horn, James McIregor, and Rees E.
Price, and after having withdrawn some
time returned, when the chairman sub
nitted the following Preamble and Reso-
lutions; the first of which with the Pres
amble, was unanimously adopted; the
others with only two or three dissenting
voices.
Whereas the citizens ofBaIlimore have
nominated our distinguished fellow citi>
zen, John Mclean, as a candidate for the
office Of President of the United States,
and we, believing that that nomination
ought to be sustained by every friend OF
Republican Institutions, of the country,
believe it to be our duty to make public
declaration of that opinion, together with
the reasons Oh which it is founded:
We have witnessed the course of Judge
Mclean, as practitioner at the Bar
on the Bench of the Supreme Court-sn
the floor of Congress-at the head of the
General Land Office-at the head of the
Post Office Department, and in the Dig
ni6ed station which he now occupies. and
IN all these offices he has discharged their
various duties, with untiring zeal and dis
tinguished ability.
The journals and debates of Congress
testify, that he was an active and decided
advocate for the rights of his country,
when those rights were invaded by Great
Britain; and that when negotiation had
failed, and disgrace or war became the
only alternative left to the nation, he de-
cided without hesitation to az cept the
latter, and devoted his talents and influ-
ence in maturing the measures by which
it was brought to a successful termina.

When he undertook the management
of the General Post Office, which IS one
Of the most intricate and lahorious de.

derangement-without system destitute
