resembling ours. They are sensible to all the
degrees and varieties of pain and, as if to mark
sacred community of suffering between US and
them they express it in the same way that we
do. Though Providence has given to man what
he has denied to the lower animals, the power
of describing his sufferings in words, yet, in the
extremity Of pain, he abandons language and
takes refuge in groans and cries. The suffering
beast and the suffering man speak the same
inarticulate language. And he is entitled to the
same exemption fromigratuitous pain. The per-
son who subjects his brute beast to unnecessary
suffering may walk on two legs and counterfeit
humanity, but he is brute. But the domestic
animals have higher claim to kind treatment.
They are capable Of attachment they are CRATE
ful for good usage they are Influenced by the
ndescribable magic of the human voice, when it
speaks the tones of love. | remember reading
i'll the newspaper letter from an emIgrant to
Oregon, who hadcrossed the western deselt He
said that when the hard journey was about two
thirds over, and the whole party, man and beast,
were almost broken down by the sufferings and
privatlons of the weary march, there was in the
large melancholy eye of the patient OK look of
uncomplaining endurance, which was enough to
move manto tears. We have all read of the dog
who watched the dead body ofhis master starting
at every futter of his garments, till he died him

and goad and starve creatures like these For
myself, want no better test OF considerate,

Young christian gird thy armor on,
The voice of Thy great leader calls,
Arouse thee ! for champion's gone,
A strong man in the conflict falls.
The foe of GOd-the foe of men

True heats shall rise, and swell again
The numbers of the baitle.tbrung.
A voice, from far off lndia's lands,
Where Judson fell, is borne to thee
"The letters loose, of guilt; the bands
or sin, let the Oppressed 60 free."
sc Break every yoke =" that word proclaims,
Which Jesus spake, while on the earth

That word through all the world send forth.
With high devotion, bear thy part,
Remember, It's glorious task
To tell The tale Of him, whose heart
Gives heavenly life to all who ask.
Thy life may be cut short, What then ?
Eternal life will heightened be.
Some years, snatched from life of pain,

Millions that bear the human form,
Nay, more, the image of their God,
Degraded, Crushed-by some foul charm
Are made to kiss the spoilers rod.
And now the cry is unto thee,
Young soldier in holy war,
Awake arouse let slumber be
From thy true eJ elids blnIshed far.
Gird OH thy armour, thou shalt fight
Thy battles, with that spirit sword,
That two-edged sword, of heavenly might,
Whose name is" Gods own word"

Is thy sole work. Be manly then,
Be true, strike off the chains of sin.

in investigation the periodical appearance of the
Locusts in this country, communicates to the

the first of June IN Connecticut, east of the river
IN portions of Toland, MiddleseX and Hartford
Counties, about Manchester, Gla. tonbury and
Chatham, and most probable in portion OF
Massachuetts north OF these places They will

Singular Discovery of a Treasure

On the grand route Of Pouille, in the King
dom of Naples, there was statue OF marble
bearing this inscription in the Neapolitan d'a-
ltct -" The first day of May, at the rising of
the sun, shall have a golden head" The
statue had already stood there two hundred
years, and no one had yet discovered the mean-
ing of this mysterious inscription. A stranger

and thought that he had OWNED its sense, but

The first day of May having already passed, he
departed, but the succeeding year he arrived in
the country on the last day of April. The next
day he resorted to the spot before sunrise, anC

moment when the sun rose above the horizon

WONDERFUL DIsCovERY.--The laborers on
the section of the great Western Railroad which
passes over, or rather through, the Burlington
Heights, near this city, dug up the tusks and jaw
bone of an elephant, which are now in the Rail
road office. The tusks, one of which is perfect
and the other slightly decayed at the end, meas
ured 6 feet inches and the jaw bone, which is
also in an excellent state of preservation, is OF
enormous size This is, indeed, the most Won
derful discovery of the day, and completely
casts into the shade the time-honored labors of
a friend of ours. The elephant, as our readers
are aware, is to be found only in India and Afrl-
ca and how this monster found his way into the
very heart of America, is question well worthy
ofinvestigation by all who take an interest in
such matters. The bank In which it was found
is of course deposit, and thousands Of years
must have been consumed in forming the 60 feet
of earth and gravel which covered the remains.

Remarkable Prophecy.

MIR. Elias Schnider, of this place, translates
for us the annexed singular prophecy from the
German. He introduces it with the following
explanation :-.NnerS' Journal.

vile, before the revolution of l848 broke out in
France. No importance was attached to this
prediction at the time, and the pamphlet was
thrown uside as worthy OF no notice but since,
it has, in many things, become so remarkably
verified, can with hold its publication no long
er. 1t was made on Christmas in lS47, by Mar
garetha Stofel, of Ehrenthie in Tyrol. The
whole is to be fulfilled between lS47 and 1856.
1t was reduced to writing by Edward Brann,
physician Of the royal imperial Austrian Court
Of Justice. Its publication was, however, sup
pressed in Austria, but circulated extensively in
Switzerland, where 1t was read by DR.. Hubers
lady, who now lives in this place. Afterwards
1t was published in Philadelphia, by l.. A. VOL
lenweber, who informs me, in answer to a letter
addressed to him, that he received copy of the
pamphlet from Germany, in l848. This gentle
mans evidence, and that of several persons in
Pottsvile, who declared that they read it before
the French revolution was heard of here, is an
ample proof that the prediction was made just al
the very time, when all men thought that the
thrones of Europe were most strongly fortified,
and when no revolution was thought of. E. S.
