Sixth Anniversary Meeting of the Foreign
Evangelical Society, In DIR. Hutton's
Church. Washington Square.


Church, Washington Square.
On Tuesday evening, this elegant church was fill
ed to OVERLOOKING, and with an highly respectable
audience. The pulpit was occupied by several cler-
gymen and distinguished persons, among whom we
noticed Mr.. Frenghuysen, Drs. Baird and Hutton.
Previous to the services of the evening, the choir
performed beautiful piece of music, when the Rev.
DR.. Hutton opened the meeting with prayer.
The Rev. DIR. BAIRD gave abstract Of the an
nua report. He represented the society as in a
most fourshing condition, far more so than previ-
ously; more money having been received, and the
services having become more extensive. The do
ings of the committee for the past year were stated
The great field of labor had been the Papal coun-
tries, and particularly France, Belgium and italy,
Fifty thousand francs, nearly $4,000, for this sub
iect and large remittances, had been made TO Gene
va Nine Students natives of the country, had also
been educated abroad, and more talent was daily
being brought into the work. Even TO st. Peters
bureh, Moscow, Stockholm. Hamburg, and in all
northern Europe, aid had been extended by send
ing colporteurs.
Everything, indeed, wore an encouraging aspect
That society had been but years in existence, and
at this time there were 100 persons laborng for the
good OF the cause. Many had been converted from
Roman Catholicism, and if spirit of kindness was
persevered in, many more would be brought. Dur
ing the past year $4,000 had been received from Pa
pal countries In England great interest was felt in
sending the gospel into Catholic countries, and the
great work was gong on everywhere. The total

National Reform Convention Mt Croton Hall.
SEcnNn DAY-Max &


The Convention met pursuant to adjournment at
p NJ, and after some desultory conversation among
the sages, Mr.. Ryckman, the representative Of the
working men of New England, submitted some
resolutions, expressing the concurrence ofthe Con-
venton in the resolutions of the Lowell Convention
in favor of an Industrial Congress- and declaring that
the way is discovered the hour almost arrived, and
the imam living, who, as the exponent of the sent-
ment of the American people, shall eradicate the
principles of monopoly, force and fraud, from all
political Institutions, and establish them upon the
eternal foundation of truth and justice and pledg-
ing the allegiance the working men to the proposed
Industrial Congress, provided the constitution upon
which it shall be organized, be universal in its PHI
lanthropy, christian in its morality and democratic
in its policy. After some remarks from Mr.. Ryck-
man in support of the resolutions the Convention adj
ouned, to meet in the evening at half past o'clock
The Convention met accordingly, and the rcsolu-
tons reported by MIR. Goodwin yesterday, after
some debate were adopted.
Mr. BovAy then offered resolution stating in effect
that National Rciomers, they would use the principal
agent Of the State the ballot box, as means OF efectng
elevation and progress MIR Bovay said that the National

order that this association may cooperate with Others il

action essential in all political reforms that men must

they only effect their object through the ballot box

never be without food. Health and appetite
are best promoted by change Of food rather than
by limiting the quantity. The animal that is

1t is surprising how readily any animal acquires
habits of regularity in feeding, and how soon the

GUANO.

The new manure which has so much in
terested agric ulturists, is likely TO interest
humanity under new and not less precious
aspect, that of a great medicine. A resi-
dcncc on the guano deposits cures leprosy
Here are the facts, as we find them stated in
the Memorial Boedclais, as quoted in the
Havre Journal Of Sept. 3, from which we
translate, emitting the predatory remarks:
These are the circumstances under which
the curative virtues Of guano become first
known in Peru. A servant eaten up with
leprosy, was discharged from his employ,
from apprehension of the contagiousness of
his loalllsome malady. This unfortunate
man, after wandering about some time with
out shelter, took refuge in one of the Guano
islands Of the Pacific. The demand for
this substance, attracted vessels thither, and
this outcast helped them 10 load, and, re-
ceived in return, provisions and the means of
living. AT the close of his days work, he
bathed in the sea, and then sought his sleep
ing place in a sort of cave he had followed
out in a bank Of Gudno.
Very soon, and without suspecling the
cause, he began to feel unusually well. The
spots and ulcers of the flesh, insensibly dis
appeared-his strength soon revived, and at
the end of two months he returned TO his
service entirely oured-sound and strong.
This marvellous cure attracted the notice
of other lepers, who Immediately sought the
same abode and with complete SUCCESS
They made public their cure, of which the
authenticity and the means by which it was
effected, were verified by committee of
scientific physicians.
A number of lepers after short residence
on the Guano island of Chuichas, near Pis-
ca, returned entirely restored, fresh and
agile. The facts in their cases are estab-
lshed on the authority of an official medi-
cal examination. instituted by order Of the
government of Peru, and of which the Re-
port is preserved among their archives
Moreover, general commission from the
Hospitals of Chill has sent numerous lepers
TO one of the islands of its territory which
abound in Guano and the report is that
their health is daily improving, and complete
restoration is anticipated by the physi-
clans.
These facts seem imposing, and will
doubtless attract the attention Of chemists and
physicians.

AUTUMN.

Autumn is singing solemn hymn,
To the year that is dying now;
Like one of the ministering seraphims,
With a golden crown on his brow.
And his hymn is sweeter, far sweeter to me,
Than the merriest chorus Of spring,
Or the richest and rarest melody
That the sun taught summer can sing.
Autumn is strewing the forest leaves,
Crimson and yellow and brown;
And the southwest lifts up his voice and grieves
To see how the leaves come down
But 10 me the forest is dearer far
Than with summers grass o'erspread
Like q carpet of flowers the crisp leaves are
Yielding music at every tread.
Autumn is shedding glory now
Even here through the city sky;
With rapture our wondering spirits bow
As we gazo on each sunset dye.
But the sunset dyes are more golden and red,
The glory more glorious still,
Where the rainbow wings of the west are spread
Over forest and river and hill.
Autumn is breathing a holy calm,
Now that the storms Of summer are spent,
And each well-reaped valley and harvested farm
Are resting in sweet content.
And an eloquent hush from the lips Of life
Is heard with his measured breath.
For the queenly year, withou. murmur of strife,
Has yielded her throne to Death!
