CoME IN AMERICA

We have been extremely interested
in reading notices of the lectures and
addresses of Father Gavazzi, an Ital-
ian Priest, who has renounced Pope>
ry, and is enlightening the people of
Great Britain more fully in the mod
ern character and operations of this
mystery of iniquity His eloquence,
it is said, is more wonderful and ma
jestic than that of any orator since the
days Of the great Athenian. We
would bespeak for him hearty wei
come to this vast country. Our peo>
pie, well informed as they are If some
respects, are, yet many of them, easily
duped by the smooth speeches and ac-
commodating policy of this same Po-
pish Hierarchy. Come, Father Ga
vazzi, and look upon our boundless re-
'ours IS our vast prairies almost
ocean lakes--our glorious Niagara
our wonderful activity and enterprise
our moral, social, political, educa-
tional, and religious institutions, and
gather fresh inspirations from these
great works of God, and these great
results of human progress.
That wonderful orator, Gavazzi,
says London writer, has concluded
his lectures in town, and starts for
Scotland. There has been probably
no incident of all the anti-Popish agi-
tation SO decidedly injurious to the
Romanists, as this mans presence in
London. They have felt so, and done
all in their power to iniure his popu-

GRAVE OF S. s. PRENTISs.

But little more than mile from
the beauty-haunted streets of Natchez,
close by the road side, is sweet, UNI
brageous grove Of Towering shrubs
and trees that bend their pensive bran
ches TO the ground, as if they over
shadowed and guarded some precious
deposit. A railing encloses them and
although a palace-like mansion is near,
and proudly embowered domain, yet
a sweet and sacred stiffness rests over
the grove. Birds of melodious song
and glorious plumage pour out their
most thrilling harmonies there; and
well they may for beneath the boughs
they stand on. sleeps one whose voice

choristers of the fragrant forests of the
South

times rolls above that place of lowly
rest. solemnly relearsing its deep

Demosthenes and the flash Of intel

were as dazzling and as rapid as those
which leap from yonder over hanging

Nonophysites, and Monotheites =
Some Of their practices are peculiar
they use both circumcision and bap-
ism. The former is not deemed es-
sential but they consider that child
dying unbaptised will be blind in the
future life. Pilgrimages they highly
esteem, especiallyto Jerusalem. where
they have convent; and like the
Jews and Mahometans, they abstaia ais
well from pork as from things stran-
yled, and from blood. Their religious
orders consist of Il patriarch, bishops,
archpriests, priests, deacons, monks,
and nuns. The patriarch is always
unmarried the bishops. are usually SO
or widowers. The priests are allow
ID to marry, but only to virgins. The
leacons have the same privilege but
they are often mere boys. Monks and
nuns takea vow of cclibacy and in
some religious establishments they re
side together: and generally speaking,
marriage is sanctioned only among
members Of their own body. In the
ceremonies of marriages and burials,
nd in their general habits, they differ
ut little from the Mahometans. Their
ostume, however, is usually confined
o gray, or gloomy coors. Their feel
ngs are not, of course, friendly towards
their Moslem oppressors but are less
hostile to them tEan to Christians of
he Greek Church, an antipatly which
hey appear to have derived from their
ancestors of the seventh century, and

success Of the Mahomedan invasion

THE EGYPTIAN C0PTS.

The Copts of the present day have
entirely lost tn ir ancient learning, and
are both Intellectually and socially de-
graded; though sti | retaining a proud
recollection of their ancestors. After
having been thinned by ages of perse-
cution and apostacy, they still amount
to some 100000 persens, nearly l0,>
900 of whom reside in Cairo, in a
quarter specially assigned them Great
numbers live in the district called the
"Faioon," and the remainder are scat
tered up and down in the cities and
towns, where for the most part they
fill the offices of secretaries and ac-
countants. Their language is radical
ly the same with the old Egyptian, but
with many foreign admixtures and al
ditions. 1t is not spoken, but is stlll
used in their sacred books and publ
services and it now furnishes val
liable key to the study of the hero
glyphics. From the numerous mon
asteries in the East, so many maru-
scripts in the Coptic and Sahidic dia-
lects have been discovered by the
Venerable Archdeacon Tattam, and
others, that complete copy ot the Sa-
cred Scriptures has been recently prin-

JOIN WESLEY ON INTEdpERANCE.

John Wesley was strong temper

drunkenness was common, even among
ministers at Gods altar, he advanced
sentiments which have not been sur
passed for strength Of adherence for
drunkenness even by the most vehe
ment denouncers of the traffic in mod

thing for a man to talk after this fash

A curse is,in the midst of them The

In tract entitled "a Word to the
Drunkard," he uses the following poin-
ted language: Are you a man! God
made you man; but you have made
yourselfa a beast. Wherein does man
differ from beast? Is it not chiefly
in reason and understanding! You
strip yourself OF und rstanding. You

EXPERIMENTAL ACOUSTICS.

Il correspondent IRON Utica, n.
tells the following good story:
Riding along with a friend the 9TH
day, few miles out Of the city, VI
came suddenly upon a farm hous'
with beautiful flower garden in from
while standing in the road, apparent
awaiting our approach, was an old maj
of perhaps sixty-fve. When we ar
rived near him, he ordered us to stop
which singular request we complied
with, wondering in our mind wha
could be his business with US. Imme
diately upon bidding us to halt, hid
turned in another direction, towards 4
piece Of woods nearly quarter Of d
mile off, and yelled with all his power
of voice
"Joshua !"
We turned our eyes in that direc-
tion, and beheld, in the lot adjoining
the wood, a young man engaged in the
rather laborious task of digging pota-|
toes Upon hearing the sound of the
old mans voice, however, he rested orl|
his hoe, and faced US. In momend
more came back the faint cry Of
"lIallo i"
The old man, seeing that his son|
had heard him, again yelled at the top|
Of his venerable lungs
"Where's the half bushel?"
Again came back the faint response i
''ln the potato bin
"What did he say?' demanded the|
old man, turning to us.
We repeated the answer. He did
not hear us, however, for he said:
"Louder; I'm deqf!"
We now screamed it in his ear, and
upon being satisfied, he merely said.
That's enough, you may 60 on
The truth was now apparent the|
old man wishing the half bushel mea-
sure and being obliged to enquire its
locality of his son, it would have been
necessary for him to travel to the field,
on account Of his deafness; the expe-
dient above related saved him that
trouble, by furnishing him an excel
lent ear-trumpet.
A youngster who had commenced
the study Of natural philosophy being
asked to mention the properties Of
heat, replied:
"The chief property of heat is that
it expands bodies, while cold contracts
them"
"very good. Can you give me a
familiar example?"
ayes sir. In summer, when it is
hot, the day is long; while in winter,
when the day is cold, it becomes quite
short"
