for his labor, and every night he supped
at the table Of Memory, with knowledge
for their gueot.
At length, age found the man, and turn
ed his temples white. To his dim eye, it
seemed that the world was an altered
place. But it was he himself who had
changed, and the warm blood had grown
cold in his veins.
Memory looked on him with grave and
tender eyes, like loving and long tried
friend. She sat down by his elbow chair,
and he said to her, "Thou has not Gept
faithfully some jewels that entrusted to
thee. fear that they are lost"
She answered mourniully and meekly,
at may be so. The lock Of my casket is

asleep. Then, Time purloins my key
But the gems that thou gavest me when
life was new, see! | have lost none OF
them. They are as brilliant as when they
first came into my hands.
Memory looked pitifally on him, as she
ceased to speak, wishing to be forgiven
But hope began to unfold a radiant wing
which she had long worn concealed be
meath her robe, and daily tried its strength
in heavenward fight.
The old man lay down TO die. And a.
the soul went forth from the body, the an
gels took it. Memory ascended by it
side, and went through the open gao o.
heaven. But Hope paused at the TIRES
hold. There she expired, like sfose liant
y giving forth its last odour"
Aglorious form bent over her. Hername
was Immortal Happiness. Hope commen-
ded to her the soul which she had follow
ed through tbs world. "Religion," she
said, "planted in it such seeds as bear the
fruit of heaven. 1t is thine for ever"
Her dying words we're like the music Of
some breaking harp, mourn(ul but sweet
And heard the voice of angels saying,

LOCKED JAw.-Several years ago, du-
ring conversation in Newport, upon that
dreadful malady, the Locked Jaw, an in-
teIIigent master of vessel observed, that
when he was at the Island offs St. Eustatia,
he had many cases ofthe Locked Jaw, and
never lost a patient On inquiry Of the
particular mode of treatment in which he
had been successful, the physician replied
.hsthe had directed anapplication Of warm
lye, made as strong as possible; if the foot
or hand was wounded, the same was
dipped repeatedly into lye; andifa part Of
the body which could not be immersed in
it, then in that case, the part affected to be
bathed with flannels wrung out from the
warm lye. In July last Captain Charles
Gordon, of Newport, unfortunately jumped
upon scraggy pointed spike, which per-
forated his boot and foot, and hewa taken
home in the most excruciating torture-
the attending physician could afford him
no relief. Providentially, lady, who
heard the above conversation, recommen-
6ed the warm lie bath, into which his foot
was placed--within fifteen minutes the
anguish was taken out; he went to bed and
slept quietly. The application Of lyewas
made loi ten succeeding days, no pail, no
uneasy sensation returned, but what's in
cident to a common sore, and on the elev-
enth day, Captain Gordon walked abroad.

NEW THEME FOR ''ExcITATIoN.r just
as the Canada fire has burned out, new
subject has sprung up, which, according
to the Bosom Times, is "to create trc.
mendous excitement in the Christian
world" The immediate cause ofthis tre-
mcndous excitement that isto be, is work
written ON the prophecies, by the Rev.
VIM. Miller, Of Hampton, New York
The editor ofthe Times, who has read the
work, says that it shows depth of re-
search in the prophetic portion Of the
scriptures, and u boldness Of conception
altogether astonishing. He thus sums up
the author and his book
"The Rev. author, if we are not mis,a-
ken, is a convert from Judaism, and like
him who was brought up ''at the feet Of
Gamaliel," possesses q thorough know-
edge not only ofthe Levitlcal Law, but Of
the traditions Of the Jewish fathers. The
ground assumed by Rabbi Miller, in its
principal features, is, that the second com.
ing of Christ is Identical with the destruc.
tion of the world, or rather its purihcaton
by fire from all its sinful elements, so az
TO render it III habitation for the Saints
in Glory adring the Thousand years Of
milIenist peace: THIS he constitutes the
first resurrection. The prophecies rcla.
thg to circumstances which are to happen
previous TO the consummation, lie thinks,
are now chiefly fulfilled, and that great
event, which is to cansume the wicked on
the face Of the earth will happen in the
year 1843-only five years from the
present.! The Turkish Empire, he says,
will come to an end in 1889, and the
troublesome times" to the Christian re.
ligon, is all that remains to be fulfilled of
the prophecies"

One soURcE OF SuIclDE.-There is much
good sense in the following, from the Port
land Courier, ana the latter part we re-
commend especially to the attention of the
ladies':
We allude to the undue estimate of
wealth, now pervading all ranks Of socie-
ty-from the Minister of Him who "had
not where to lay his head" to the miser
who secretly boards and counts his tens
and hundreds of thousands, all alike wor-
ship, IN some way or other the mammon OF
this world. II is true they disavow this;
but look at their splendidly furnished
dwellings-their luxurious apartments,
and Judge. 1t is here, from the language
of the ffeside, in the atmosphere Of home,
where the most permanent Impressions are
always made, that our youth learn to at
tach an inordlnle importance to the pos
session of wealth. INSTEAD OF training our
young men TO manly>exercise and useful
occupations, adapted tothe spirit Of our
institutions, and calculates, to form char
actors capable of upholdins our dear
bought liberties, they are rearedU habits
Of Incidence, effcminacy, and luSxy.-
Characters thus formed have little ofthe
enterprise and fortitude essential to sup
port them under misfortunes, and to ena-
bic them 10 bear up underline vicissitudes
of life. When reverses overtake them, II
is scarcely 10 be wondered that minds SC
constituted should yield to the temptation
TO self-destruction, as the readlest way to
escape from difficulties. Such is the oni'
impotence of wealth, that we may look in
vain for the republican simplicity, the
| manly independence, and contempt Of
hardsnrs and poverty, that characterized
our pilgrim ariceators, Formerly young
man Of steady habits, Of intelligent mind
and proper enterprise, was considered
worthy If a station in the best circles OF
society; now, these qualities seem totally
Idisregarded, and the fair one bows down
a willing worssipper TO heavy purse.--
| While worth and talents are but seconda.
ry recommendations, and money is the
sine qua non in tho eyes Of the lads, is il
strange that our young men should strain
every nerve to secure this passport to all
hearts? Where the opinions of society
have made money substitute for, if moi
superior to, virtue and genius, IS it won
derful tha. the young aspirant, who finds
himself, by untoward circumstances, ro
duced from affluence to poyerty--lrom the
sunshine Of favor 10 the gloom Of avertet
smiles and chilling politeness, should turr
to the refuge Of suicidc2-We wish our la
dies would exercise an elevated iridepen
dence upon these subjects, and prove tina
they are ascapabIe Of apprecigting woril
as rcealth. They may bc sure, could they
undergo a slight change in this respect
there would Be fewer Old Maids; oul
young mon would have greater induce
,ments to marry, and less temptation L
speculate, TO gamble, and defraud; We
lshoud, in short, hear more Of matrimony
and less Of suicide.

HOPE AND MEMoRY.-A babe lay in its
cradle. A being with bright hair and a
clear eye o'-qe and kissed it. Her name
was nope i'S Use denied it cake, Tor
which it cried; but HoPo aid il of one in
store for tomorrow. Its little seer rave
it a flower, at which it clapped its ts.-is
ioyfully, and Hope promised 1t talrer
er ones, which it should gather for itself.
The babe grew to boy. He was anu
sing at the summer twilight. Another be-
ing, with sweet, serious face, came and
sat by him. Her name was Memory
And she said, aLook behind thee, and tell
me what thou secst"
The boy answered, q see a short path
bordeted with flowers. Butterflies spread
out gay wings, and birds sing among the
shrubs. ltseems to be the path where my
feet have walked, for at the beginning oi
il is my own cradle. !"
"What art thou holding in thy hand e
asked Memory. And he answered, "a book
which my mother gavem "Come hlth-
er," said Memory WITH gentle voice,
sand viii teach thee lowto get honey
out oft, that shall be sweet when thy hair
is gray"
The boy became youth. Once, as he
lay in his bed, Hope and Memory came to
the pillow, Hope sang aherry song, Ike
the lark when she rises from the nest to
the skies. Afterwards, she said, "Follow
me, and thou shalt hap music IN thy
heart as sweet as the lay Isung thee"
But Memory said, che bhaIi be mine al
\ So Hope, why need w@ @contende For
\ as long as he keepeth vifue in his heart,
we viii be TO him as slters all his life
long" So, he embraced Fopc and Memo
|; ry, and was beloved ofthm both.
When he awoke, they yDlessed him, and
he gave a hand to each He became a
man and Hope girded hi1every morning

We find in Oar foreign papers the fol-
lowing account of re.uscitation aiterdrown
ing. 1t deserves the asention of medical
men.

out, when two surgeons attendeAbut az
ter an hours exertion, were unsuccessful
in their attempts to restore the youth to
life. A drunken man from the tap'rooN,
waking from his sleep, and hearing thai
the medical men had failed, staggered into
the room and said he could restore the boy,
and applying his mouth to that OF the
youth lat the time closing the nosIrlls) by
strong suction. as il drawing the breath
from the patient, actually renovated him
in few minutes, TO the astonlshment OF
all present. This was the ninth person
this individual had restored in similar
manner. This case has excited much
speculation, and led to the conjecture that
an instrument might be made to answer
the means adopted in these instances ofre
susciation which would be highly benefi'
cial in every point of view.

rlanlsm was not introduced into the Uni
ted States as early as some other forms Of
Christianity. At the first settlement, of
the British Colonits in North America,
Presbyterians were viewed with more ia.
yor, than other dssenters, by those in
power in the mother country, and there
fore had not the same inducement 10 aban-
don their native homes for the wild Of
America. Under thereig9 Of Charles IL.
and some of his successors, hey e1perien-
ced a sad reverse, andwere driven TO seek
shelter from the storm Of persecution, by
emigrating to America, near the close Of
the 18th century. Emigrating from Scot
land and Ireland, some Manded at Philadcl-
phia, and the adjacent ports, and others
at Charleston, S. c. Ministers Of the
Gospel accompanied them, and congrega-
tions were established, churches built, and
Presbyteries organized; and the church
assumed regular fern in America. A
Presbytcry was established in Charleston
probably prior TO the year 1880, and it was
connected in some way With the establish
cd church Of Scotland, and con fined its op-
GRAFTON to the sea-board and low country.
The old White Meeting, now replaced by
the Circular church, on the same site, was
originally composedof Congregationalists
and Presbyterians united, and choose its
pastors from either denomination. The
first three ministers of this church, prior
to 100, we're independents or Congrega-
tlonalists, and the fourth and fifth were
viz: The Rev. Archibald
Stone, from 1900 to i704, and the Rev.
WIN. Livingston, from 1904 to 1870, who
are said to have been members of the
Charleston Presbytery. Mr.. Livingston
was succeeded by Mr.. Bauskett, an lnde-
pendent minister from Massachusetts,
Under his administration, twelve families
seeded, and formed the First Presbyterian
Church in Charleston, on the model of the
Church Of Scotland. They built their
house of worship 1891. This Presbytery
exercised supervision over several
in the vicinity Of Charleston.
The Philadelphia Pr.aIytery was or
ganized in 1704 ~ t7o5, Independent of
any foreign connexlon, Its members
wore located in Pennsylvania, New Jcr-
sey. Delaware, Maryland, and the Nor
thern Neck of Virginia. After Braddock's
defeat in 1855, and the consequent expo
sure Of the frontier to Indian rayages, ma
ny Of the frontier inhabitants, who were
Presbyterians, in connection with the
Presbytery of Philadelphia, settled in
North and South Carolina. Ministers ac-
companied or follow them, and Churches
we're established, and, in afew instances,
Ministers attached to them who retained
their connexion with the Presbyterian
Church, as organized in the middle States.
This brings the history o. Presbyterian
ism in the U. s. down in the organization
of the Presbytery Of Hanover, by the Sy-
nod of New York and Philadelphia in

The foregoing account is condensed from
the first number of "The history Of the
rise and progress Of the Presbyterian
Church in the Presbytery Of Bethel, en-

concerned in a conspiracy, resolutely answere
That she had hidden him. This confession cauf
ed her TO be carried before the Governor VIII
siold her that nothing but confession where sh
bad hidden him could save her from the torture
t'And will that dol' said she. "Yes," reple,
|fhe Governor, 81 will pass my word for safety
on that condition" "Then," replied she, :"
have hidden him in my heart"
Stern faces were around her bent,
And eyes of vengefulir ire,
And fearful were the words he spake,
Of torture, stake, and fire;
Yet calmly in the midst she stood,
With eye undimmed and clear
And though her lip and cheek were white,
She breathed no sigh of fear.
"Where is thy traitor spouse" they said!
A half formed smile of scorn,
That curled upon her naughty lip,
Was back for answer borne:-
"Where is thy traitor spouse?" again,
In fiercer tones they said,
And sternly pointed to the rack,
All rusted DER with red!
But in crimson flood,
Der pallid lip, and cheek and brow,
Rushed up the burning blood.
She spake,-but proudly rose her tones,
As when in hall or bower,
The haughtiest chief that round her stood,
Had meekly owned her power.
\ "My noble lord is placed within
A safe and sure retreat
"Now tell us where thou lady bright,
As thou would merely meet;
Z Nor deem thy life can purchase his
He cannot 'scape our wrath,
For many warrior watchful eye
ls placed DER every path
.'But thou mayst win his broad estate,
IN To grace thy infant heir.
And life and honor for thyselt,-
" So thou his haunts declare"
She laid her hand upon her heart;
a Her eve flashed proud and clear,
4 And firmer grew her naughty tread
"My lord is hidden here!
s "And if you seek to view his form,
Ye first must tear away,
From round his secret dwelling place,
These walls of living clay"
They quailed beneath her lofty glance
They silent turned aside,
And left her all unframed, amidst
Her loveliness and pride!
