The Bible.-Christians, for the sake Of
your immortal souls, pray you, if you ex-
pect to find true wisdom, comfort and rest
on earth, love the BIBLE. Remember that
it is the word Of God. alt is the most
suitable book for all times; for childhood;
for youth tor manhood and old age for
all ranks and conditions of men for every
grade of intellect. The best that can be
used in every circumstance and event Of
life, one that is profitable in prosperity and
adversely; in JOY and in sorrow. tits the
most valuable book both for the ignorant
and the learned calculated to enlighten
the simple and make the unlettered wise,
and yet one, wherein the most profound and
philosophic mind may find abundant nourish-
ment."
Do we love plainness and perspicuity |;
where is there work which more distinctly
and clearly unfolds to man that which is
essential to his salvation, and to the main-
tenance of spiritual life, than the Bible :?
Do we see majesty ond grandeur, and wish
to be filled with wonder and amazement ::
where is there book which can more SUBJ
timely elevate the soul than the Scriptures
Do we love to be affected and moved !;
where is there book which can more pow
erfuliy dispose cXuitauon or 10 sorrow !;
which can awaken more serene or more
vigorous emotion than the Bible? Behold
how il launches its thunders against the un-
goldly; how it terrifes the careless and Sc.
cure; how it encourages the sanctiied and
upright; how it revives and consoles the
tempted. There is no disposition which it
cannot sanctify; no ininnity which it can
not heal, and no exalted emotion of the
soul which it cannot enkindle into nobler
fame.
Were all men, in all conditions and cir
cumstances, diligently to search the scrip.
lures, then would rulers govern to the glory
OF God, and welfare Of man then would
statesmen not lack that wisdom which alone
can make nations happy; then would "thc
priests lips keep knowledge" and with
convincing eloquence would they instruct,
exhort, warn and reprove and observe the
proper season TO lead the erring Alright
subjects would be faithful citizens; parents
would bring up their children in the fear OF
the Lord, and prepare subjects for the king
dom of heaven; the prosperous would not
glory in their successes the rich would
not amass treasures, which would prove a
curse in time and eternity, but lay the
foundation for future happiness the tempe
rate would conquer, and the afflicted would
triumph; in short, all men would become
happy. So great has the infinite wisdom Of
God glorilied itself in the adaptation of its
revelation, that through it, all these mighty
amazing, and happy results, can be effected.

The annexed is an extract of letter

The annexed is an extract of letter
from Bogota, dated July 8:
"Colonel Biddle, from the United States,
brother of the President of the United
States Bank, has been here some time,
making proposals for affecting the long
talked of communication between the two
oceans through tho isihmus of Panama
His proposals, on coming before Congress,
were found to involve such vast conces-
sion of territory, that the jealousy of the
good people here began to be little alarm
ed, and strong opposition to the measure
in congress was the consequence. A ma.
tive company came forward to make pro-
posals for the same object. The Congress
broke up without granting the privilege to
either, but passed decree investing the
Executive with powers to give the privilege
upon certain specified conditions. The two
parties have since coalesced, and taken the
grant between them. The leading condi-
tons are, that they undertake to effect the
communication that the work is to be be.
Gun within three years, and completed in
six that the privilege is to last as years,
sffer which the work becomes national pro-
perry; that in the mean time they pay the
government two per cent. on the nett pro-
fits. For this they get grant Of $4,000
fancgadas, and the option Of purchasing
100000 fancgadas more from the govern
ment at fixed price. The parties are
bound TO fulfil their contracts under PEN
atty of $4,000 dollars, and they are pro-
hibited from assigning the privilege to any
foreign government. The transit duty Is
to be the same for the merchandise and
eubiects of oil nations. I'M

Beautiful Portrad.--The following pas.
sage is from sermon preached by Bishop
DoanSsiDSt. Mory's Church, Burlington,
on the ocSssion of the death of the nment.
ed patriarch of the American Episcopal
Church.
"But the great charm of Bishop White
was his utter unconsciousness fhis own i'm
portance, which was the dictate Of his sim
gular meekness. Nothing so panied him
as the very suspicion Of adulation. OF
nothing was he So little sensible as of his
own rare excellence and surprising inhu-
ence. While whole communion sat de.
lighted at his feet to learn from his wisdom,
and to inhale the odor of his sanctity, he
might himself have been supposed that little
child, which Jesus took and sat in the midst
of his contentious disciples and said, ''of
such is the kingdom Of heaven" So con-
stituted, it will be readily believed, that he
was always the most attractive of men.
With the great he had nothing to contest
for, though he knew it not, he was greater
than them all. To the humble, such was
his Inconsistencies and habitual condos
cension, that their self respect was rc.assu.
red and strengthened in his presence.
Cheerful and beontented himself, he was the
means of cheerfulness and contentment to
all. The old revered, the young admired,
and the little children loved him. His
house, as became Christian Bishops, was
the abode of the most generous hospitality.
His well known seat, the same for fifty
years, the resort Of all who loved to hear
wisdom from the lips of piety. When the
ear heard him, then it blessed him, and
when the eye saw him it gave witness to
him. The blessing of him that was ready
to perish came upon him, and he caused
the Widows heart to sing with joy"

MARY'S BEE.
BY JAMES MACK.
As Mary with her lip Of roses,
Was tripping DER the fow'ry mead,
A foolish little bee supposes
The rosy lip, rose indeed;
And %, astonished at the bliss,
He steals the honey of her kiss.
He wantons thcre moment lightly
He sports away on careless wing
But ali, why swells that wound unsightly
This rascal! he has left sting!
She runs to me with weeping eyes
Sweet images Of April skies!
"Be this" said I, "to needless misses
A warning, they should bear in mind;
For oft lover steals their kisses,
Then flies and leaves q sting behind"
"This may be wisdom, TO be sure"
Said Mary; ''but want cure"
What could do? TO case the swelling
My lips and hers delighted meet;
And, trust me, from that lovely dwelling.
found the poison very sweet!
Fond boy! unconscious Of its smart,
suck'd the poison to my hcart!

From the Lowell Patriot.
A THOUGHT.

When ono by one each day light CLEAN
Hath vanished from the sky,
And DER the vale and azure stream.
The shades of darkness lie;
IT'S time to sleep-there is call
To the care-laden breast,
A gentle voice which summons all
Earth's weary ones to rest.
And thus, when lovely hopes havo died,
Or faded into tears,
When Ger life's vale and mountain side,
The length'ning shade appears,
There comes voice whose low sad tone
Floats through the darkening sky,
"Mourner," It saith, "the lights are flown,
IT'S time for thee to die"
