THE MORAVIAN VICTORY.

During the rebellion in Ireland, in 1898,
the rebels had long meditated an attack on
the Moraylan settlement at Grace Hill, Wex-
lord county. At length they put their threat
INTO execution, and a large body of them
marched to the town. When they arrived
there they saw no one in the streets nor in
their house. The brethren had long expect
ed this attack, but true to their Christian pro-

The HoRRoRs OF OPIUM EArISs.-A .wri-

Its terrible effects, draws a startling picture
OF this horrible sensation TO which the ouium
eater subjects himself. In two wears from
the time he commences its use he must ex-
pect to die, and a death most terrible. which
makes one shudder TO think of. Afer tho
sad habit becomes confirmed, the counten-
ance presents an ashy paleness-the eyes as
sumo a wild brlghtness-thc memory fails
the gait tottcrs-inental and moral courage
sinks, and frlghtiul marasmus or apathy. re-
duces the victim to a ghastly spectre-a liy-
ing skeleton. There is no slavery of body
and mind equal to that of the opium taker.
Once infatuated to its doses as a fictitious
stlmulant, every thing will be endured rath-
er than the prlvation of it; and the unhappy
victim endurcs all the consciousness of his
own degraded state, while he is ready to sell
all he has in the world; to part with family
and frlendS-rathe than surrender the use of
this fatal drug-tbis transient delight. Tho
Plelsurable sensations and Imaginative ideas

fainter and fainter, and at last give place to

An ABSTRACT JESUs.-While listening a
short time since to a sermon in which the
minister was portrdying in an elegant man
ner the situation of Christ on the cross, and
in the rich style of romance Depicting the
scene of Calvary, and then calling upon the
sinner to look upon this Jesus as worthy Of
his highest affections, | thought at the mo-
ment how that same minister was acccustom-
ed to turn away from the story of the poor
slaves Indebtedness and suffering and woe,
and ! remembered that Jesus taught, .sInas-
much as We have done it to the least of these,
yc have done it unto me- and | thought
within myself as ! listened to the orator i'm
that pulpit, | should like to tell him, Yours
is an abstract Jesus. As you hate slavery
only IN the abstract, so you love Jesus in the
abstract too. But would you teach the sim
ner to love Jesus, tell him, Look at that
wounded Jew; go and bind up his wounds,
and though thou art a Samaritan, thou wilt
find thy heart in sympathy with the heart of
Jesus.
1t is not by beautiful paintings only that
Jesus becomes the object of mans love. He
who kindly treats the poor, loves Him who
though he was rich yet for our sakes became
poor, that we through his poverty might be
made rich. Alas! how many on Lords Dav
weep at the pathetic story OF the gashes in
Jesus back, and the next day make like fur
rows in the flesh of one for whom the Savior
died. This is not fiction. alas! it's heart

DuELLING.-Two musquetocs, one morn

filled with the blood drawn during their last
nocturnal dePredations. They were silent,
and 'dumpy," cross, and savage. One of
them ran out his sting, and pointed towards
the first musquotoc. This was considered an
insult. And so the offended musquetoe steps
up to the other and says:
"Did you turn up your sting to mel"
The answer was-'I ran out my sting;
yon can apply it as you choose"

The levee is very high at Cairo,
and is now well tested. During the
great flood, two years ago, which
will probably never be surpassed,
the water came within foot of the
top of the levee; but did not breal,
over or through it, any where. Such
a food as that must set the question
of overflow at rest forever. We
learn also that the health Of Cairo
has greatly improved during the last
year or two. Keep the water out,
and sickness must necessarily dis
appear, or become greatly abated.-

The celebrated visitof Cassius M.
Clay to the Northern States during
the last Presidential canvass, says
the Nashville Union, will be remem-
bered by all. The democrats be-
lieved, and so charged, that Cassius
was on mission for the benefit Of
his distinguished kinsman, and that
the enterprise was undertaken with
his knowledge and consent. How
the wings denounced this charge is
fresh in the recollections of all. The
truth on this subject (if Cassius Nj.
Clay is good authority has come to
light. He has commenced his "True
American" in Cincinnati, and takes
occasion to explain his Northern
tour. He says - iaar.la.. .rs..I..a

the central committee for the wings
of Kentucky,-by special invitation
from about fifty wing clubs of the
North,-by the request before and
after my departure of four hundred
and sixteen committee men, repre-
senting clubs, counties and conven-
tons by the irresistible persuasion
of fifty patriotic wing women of
Ohio-and last of all by the tacit ap-
proval of the leader of the wing par
ty, Henry Clay. The day before I
left Lexington, / called upon Mr..
Clay and told him the purpose of my
mission; that it was thought by our
friends that | could have an inllu-
ence, from my peculiar position, with
the slavery, ti-Texas voters
Of the free States, which no other
man could, and that was willing to

his head, with an approving smile

essary." H #5' .m qaHr.t
Thus writes Cassius NJ. Clay-he

The Eckipse.-New York seldom
witnesses a lovclier evening than the
last, though the moon, for some
cause or other, took Innate freak
into her head, and, for Change,

yet, if they took notice, they might

evening, with great nicely, the pre-

came old moon. AS this phenome-
non does not very often occur, it is
to be hoped that all interested have
taken an accurate lunar, and enter
ed up the result &C cordingly. Some
folks think the moon is made of one
thing and some of another. Many
moon-struck spectators contend
that it is but a large lunp of some
wandering comet, Knocked into its
present location by contact with old
earth herself. Others think it to be
a great eye, and that these cclipses
are nothing but its periodical wink
ings. Another, and very numerous
class, maintains that it is made of
green cheese. These last are now
considered mighty vcrdant. Punch
thinks, and we coincide with Punch,
that it is nothing but vast punch

On passing by this celebrated
point, situated at the mouth of the
Ohio, on our late return from Mem
phis, We were surprised to notice,
that the city seems likely to be built
up on the water Chinese fashion, J
instead of the land. For half a mile
up the Ohio, boats are ranged one
above the other, where the owners
advertise in large letters, "Board-
ing and lodging" -''Provision for
Sale, -" Fresh Beef,''-"S Sugar,
Coffee, Whiskey, for Sale" &c.
and numerous other such notices,
placarded and painted on the rough
sides of these floating store houses.
On the levee, at the mouth, and
for some distance up the Ohio, a
great variety of goods are lying, in
many cases without covering. Pigs
of lead, bales of cotton, hogsheads
of sugar, molasses, bbls of -four, &c.,

the elements; the large store-house
and tavern being empty.

some bark. They then demanded
his money, took him by his stock and
collar and dragged him up stairs,
traces of his blood being left all the
way. They then took him into a
closet where his safe was, and made
him unlock it. They thought he
had more money than they found
there, and choked him to make him
tell where it was, until he tainted.
They then threw water upon him,
and brought him to. He then poin

there was more money, but they
could not find it. They then chok-

was again brought to. A consulta-
ton was then held whether they
should kill him. One proposed to
kill him, and another proposed to
kill him and burn the house, but Tie

suddenly, from seeing skifl', as is
supposed, approaching the house.
