Siva's Temple.

The great temple of Tanjore, in the south of
India, sacred to the God silva, is one the hand
soonest in that country. The grand tower is
nearly as high as Bunker Hill Monument, and
is in the form of pyramid. In the covered
porch of the Temple is the image Of the bull
Nandi, on which Siva is said to ride. 1t is car
we'd out of black granite, sixteen feet long and
about thirteen high, and executed with much
beauty. In some of the religious professions,
a sacred bull is led through the streets OF the
city. The Hindoos place rice and other articles
before their door at that time, thinking that if
the bull stop to taste, the blessing of silva will
rest upon them. Such blessing is very easily
obtained, and is good for nothing when you have
it.
At one Of the festivals in honor Of silva, his
worshippers first wander round the streets, with
horns and drums, making most shameful noises.
Then two posts having been set up, on the top
of which is strong bar, these poor idolaters
hang themselves by their feet from the bar, with
their head downwards. A fire is kindled under
meath them, into which rosin is thrown to make
it burn more fercely, and thus the head is com
pletely wrapped in smoke and scorched by th'
flame. The next day, the worshippers dane
and roll themselves on thistles and other prickl,
plants. They also throw their bodies on bed
Of sharp knives, and walk among burning ashe
and torture themselves in other ways.
And what is all this for? In their foolish
ness, they think they shall thus gain the pardol
of their sins, and a ticket which will carry then
safe over the Jordan of death and into the gat
of heaven. Miserable men! How mistaken
will they find themselves at the last. Burning
and cutting the body cannot make the heart no
ly. Only the blood of Jesus can save us, an
that will wash away our vilest sins. But thes
heather know nothing of Jesus. They hav
no Bible. They had no mother to teach them i
infancy. They are in a land of the shadow c
death. o children, pity them. Pray for them
Ask others to pity and pray for them. Let it ne
be that SO many millions of them should g
down to ruin, when they might rise and be hal
py in heaven and dwell with God forever.-Dal
spring.

Machine for Employing the Wa

Mr.. Joseph Hardio, of Victoria, Texas, has
taken measures to secure patent for new ma

is y current. however small, so as to propel ma
chinery on shore by the power of the water
Tida, wheels are old and well known, but very

and they are not adapted for many of our rivers.
What power there is In the Mississippi river,
and vet it flows on to the Gulf Of Florida, with
out applying its giant strength to move-so far
as we know-a single mill. A machine to apply
this power safely and economically is desider-
atium: Mr.. Hardle has applied his inyRtlve
powers to do so. His water meter is subnS6ged
and is connected with a framework on the bank
of the river, which can be elevated or lowered
by capstan or windluss, according to the height
of the river Sci. finer.

Thoughts at the Grave of Friend.
1t canno! be that this is all,
That's left to tell of thee;
This marble slab, which time may fall,
Marks where thy ashes be-
Thy spirit lies not meath this sod,
'Tis only earth that's here;
l know thy soul is with its God,
But yet this spot is dear.
As thou art holier now than when
A mortal here below,
So thou art happier now than then,
The more of love to know.
Thou lovsf thy friends with purer love
Than earth can ever know;
Thou watchest from thy home above,
The hearts of us below.
l feel thy spirit lowering near,
As by thy grave stand,-
Itspeaks to me in tones as clear
As from an angel hand
1t tells me thou art mindful still,
OF those on earth once dear =
That love is all " our Fathers WILL"
But parts of Him, all spirits here.

JOINT RESOLUTION.

Re 1T RESOLVED By the MOBILES and Represen-
ta,ires Of the Ha,raiian Islands, IN Legisla-
fire Council assembled
That, in the sense of this House, the de-
mands of France are so clearly unjust, and
contrary to fine laws Of nations and to Treaty
and the course pursued by her is So incom-
patibIe with the existence Of a regular inde-
pendent government in thee Islands; il
France should persist in such course, it
will lie the duty of the king to shield himself
and his kingdom from insult and oppression,
by placing this kingdom under the protection
Of some friendly state, .and that should such
emergency be so urgent as not to admit of
the Legislative Council being convened, it
shall be left to His Majesty by and with the
advice Of his Privy Council under such emer
gency to consult the honor and safety of his
kingdom, according to His Majesty's best
judgment: and that whatever he may SO DO,
will be binding upon the nation.

HAYDN AND THE SEA CAPTAIS Haydn
used to relate whimsical anecdotes Of his
stay in London. A captain Of the navy came
to him one morning, and asked him TO COM
pose march for some troops he bad on
board, offering him thirty guineas for his
trouble, but requiring j. 10 be done immedi.'
ately, as the vessel was 10 sail the next day
for Calcutta. As soon as the captain was
gone, Haydn sat down to the piano forte and
the march was ready in short time Feeling
some scruples at gaining his money so very
easily, Haydn wrote two other marches, In
tending first to give the captain his choice,
and then make him present Of all the three,
as return for his iberaity. Next mcrning
the captain returned and asked for his march.
''Here il is," said the composer
The captain asked TO hear il on The piano
fort; ; and having done so, laid down the
thirty guineas, pocketed the march and walk
ed away. Haydn tried to stop him, but in
vain the march was very good
'Eut have written two others 7" cried
Haydn, (which are better hear them, and
take your choice"
81 like the first very well, and that is
enough. answered the captain, pursuing his
way down stairs. !.
Haydn followed crying out. 'but make
you present of them y"
81 woA't have them :" roared the seaman.
with nautical asscveration. and bolted opt
al the street door.
Haydn determined not to be ouidone, has
tened TO the Exchange, and discovering the
name of the ship and her commander, sent tho
marches on beard with polite note, which
the captain, surrnising its contents, sent back
unopened. Haydn tore the marches into
thousand pieces, and never forgot this liberal
English humorist as long as he lived.
