RELIANCE upox rnovInExeE.

There was nothing more conspicuous il
| the Revolutionary struggle for Freedom
than the sound moral and religious tone
evinced by the members of the Continental
Congress In all their addresses this was a
leading feature. In an Address to the in-
habitants of the United States, published on
the 9Th Of May IT'S there were some clo-
quent passages, urging the people to contin-
ued and unremitting efforts.
"The sweets Of free commerce with every
part of the earth (says the Congre.s) will
soon reimburse you for all the losses you
have sustained. The full tide Of wealth will
flow in upon your shores, free from the arbi
trary impositions of those whose interest and
whose declared policy it was to check your
growth, Your interests viii be fostered and
nourished by governments that derive their
power from your grant. and will therefore be
obliged, by the Influence Of cogent necessity;
to exert it in your favor.
ut is to obtain these things that We call
for your strenuous, unremitted exertions.--
Yet do not believe that you have been or can
be saved merely by your own strength. Mo-
it IS by the assistance Of Heaven, and this
you must assiduously cultivate, by acts which
Heaven approves. Thus shall the power
and the happiness Of these Sovereign, and
Independent States, founded on the virtue Of
their citizens increase, extend and endure,
until the Almighty shall blot out all tue en-
pires Of the cartii.'
All the Ministers Of the Gospel were ask
ed to read the Address from their pulpts.
The Articles Of Confederation were sigued
on the 9th day ofJuly, ITS, by eight States,

QUESTION ANSWERED..

Maj Noah, learned Israelite, is thus IN
tcrrogated: "The second coming of Christ
is believed by large portion of christians
Would the Jews believe in his spiritual and
temporal messlaship if he should again APP
pear on earth T?
Gle would, we think, be less welcome to
the christians than 10 the Jews. He could
not, we think, recognize the reformed religion
carried out in his name. He who preached
against pride, ostentation and arrogance
who was the friend of the poor and rcbuked
the rich and worldly minded preached
peace ON earth and good will to mem who
ordained obedience to the laws and submis-
sion to rulers--would not brook the desecra-
tion of the christian pulpit, occupied by some
men who endcavor to stir up rebellion and
division among the people-who falsely quote
the Scriptures to carry out their fanaticism
on slavery--who openly defy the laws, and
wickedly recommend opposition to them
who are sowing division and misery through
out the land. He would say: ii had trou-
ble with the Scribes and Pharisees, who were
my own people--they did not recognize my
mission; but here are my followers as they
iePiescne tuemSeNcS " pe-Who ouSnt III
my name to carry out my principles, but who
do not--who consider that there are many Of
my orders, directions and doctrines which
they cannot carry out, alledging that they
do not conform to the spirit of the age
He would find his own people as be left them
two thousand years ago-with one faith and
one God, but the church which he establish.
ed he would find divided into numerous sects
one arayed against the other, preaching al
kinds of doctrines, and understanding better
what he meant to establish than he did him
self. The question is not. "How would thu
Jews receive him p but "How would he b,
received by those protesting to be christians
This is not the age for such a visitation"

WORLDS FAIR.


The following account Of the Dimensions of the
building in which the exhibition of the Worlds
Fair win be held is taken from the engraving of it,
in the Patent Office at Washington We believe it
is built entirely of iron and glass:
The Dimensions of the Plan 1S4S #. long
by 40S wide, exclusive of Machine Room,
936 #. by As # wide. The height of the
principal centre roof is 66 IT. and of transept
roof los #. The space occupied on the Plan
is 752, S32 superficial feet; and the space
provided on the Galleries is 1O2, 52Sft The
total quantity of exhibition surface is about
Il acres The total cubic content of build
ing is 5000, 900 feet. The contract amount
for use, waste, and maintenance is f79, 500
1884, $500 or little more than 9-l6 of a
penny per cubic foot The total value if per-
manently retained, is el50.000, (S666, 666, }
or rather less than l l-Sd per cubic foot.
The quantity of glass required will be
about 900, 600 superficial feet, weighing up
wards Of 400 tons; $500 cast iron columns,
varying from Ia #. 6 in to 20 feet long /;
2224 cast iron girders, 1928 intermediate
bearers for supporting the floors "a miles
Of cutters; and 202 miles Of sash bars. The
length of the Table for exhibition will be
nearly 8 miles, including the Galleries.
Z Judging from the engraving, it will be a
magnificent structure. II was designed by

coMMoDoRE BIDpLE.

telligeuee Of the death Of Com Biddle. Hi.

ready for sea the next morning, and had come
ashore for a walk in the woods which skirt
Monterey. We had ascended the summit Of
bill which commands wide range of wa
wing woods, cleaning meadows. and oceans

the horizon and the eye of the commodore
was fastened upon it as it sunk in solemn
majesty from sight. He had not spoken for
several minutes; when, turning to me, be
said-'This is my last walk among these bills
and something whispers me that all my walks
end here This was said with that look
and manner in which the undertone of man Is
thoughts will sometimes find words without
his will. 1t was utterly at variance with the
cool, philosophical habits which were charac-
teristic of the commodore, and which he sci
dom relinquished, except in some sally of hui
NOR and wit. This remark woke, like a
slumber of the shroud, on the sudden intelli-
gence of his death. 1t may bca superstition,

like a star from its darkened watch tower on
high. But the night which quenched the
beam is still fringed with light. To this
surviving ray we turn in bereavement and
grief. His genius lighted the objects of
thought ON which it touched, and glanced,
with an intuitiye force, though the subtle
problems Of mind. His mental horizon was
broad, and yet every object within its wide
circle was distinctly seen and seen in its true
position aud relative Importance. The trif-
ling never rose into the great. and the majes-
tic never became tame. Each stood, in his
clear vision, as truth and reason had stamped
it. He was cool and collected, without be-
ing stocal and immovably firm without be-
ing arbitrary. He had that courage which
could never be shaken by surprise, made
giddy with success, or quelled by disaster
Whatever subject he assayed, he mastered
He has eft but few behind bin, out of the

WEALTH.

1t is a beautiful remark Of Lord Bacon,
"Seek not proud wealth but such rs thou
mayest get justly, use soberly, distribute
cheerfully and leave contentedly.P Aud
says the late William Wnt--a name that
viii long be illustrious in American history
-'Excessive wealth, is neither glory nor
happiness. The cold and sordid wretch who
thinks only of himselt--who draws his head
within his shell, and never puts it ont, but
for the purpose of lucrc and ostentation--
who looks upon his fellow creatures, not only
without sympathy, but with arrogance and
nsolence, as if they were made to be his vas
sails, and he to be their lord as il they were
made for no other purpose than to pamper
his ayaricc, or to contribute to his aggran-
dizement--such man may be rich, but
trust me, he never can be happy, nor virtu-
Gus, nor great. There is in fortune a
golden mean, which is the appropriate region
of virtue and intelligence. BE content with
that; and if the horn Of plenty overflow, lot
its droppings fall upon your fellow men--let
them fall like the droppings Of honey in the
wilderness, TO cheer the faint aud weary Pill
grim"

Twas IN WHICH YOUNG LADIES MAY
HE USEFUL.

The late venerable Dr. Miller. of Prince
ton, once remarked to a lady that most per-
sons are too apt to wait for great occasions
for doing good; that some ladies' think that
everything really useful must be done in
Societies and Associations; others felt as IL
there was nothing left for them to do But
there was one way, he said, in which every
young woman might make herself useful;
and that was to visit aged persons and in
valids in her immediate ncighborhood, for
the purpose of reading to them. An occa-
sional hour thus spent might be greatly
blessed both to the listener and the reader,
aud great amount Of Happiness thus seeur-
ed. He spoke feelingly Of the fact. that the
comfort Of aged people, By entertaining their
minds, was too often overlooked, even where.
every attention was paid to the outward man
This was true, too, Of many an invalid who
was compelled to spend long and weary hours
in solitude.
