DANIEL.
MEssRs. EDITORS. Among the beauti-
ful galaxy of eminent characters, 50
faithfully portrayed in the Old and New
Testament Scriptures, that of the Prophet
Daniel, from whose writings the founda-
ton of the discourse, reported in yom
paper ofthe 18th ult., was taken, stands out
IN distinguished brillIancv A captive
Hebrew, taken from the home of his
youth to Babylon. His department was
so winning, so exemplary, so unexcep-
tionable. that even the enemies of his
countrymen were struck with it and be-
came his friends, and, finally, his promo
ters. Still, however, he did not escape
persecution. In worshipping and serving
the God of Heaven" whose kingdom
shall be g from everlasting to everlast-
ing, he did not escape the opposition of
the grand adversary of man" Ex-
posing the frauds and trickeries of the
idolatrous Babylonish priesthood, by
which they lived in luxury and Incidence,
deceiving the $ing and the people, this
just man, through their procuring, was
thrown into a den Of the most terrible of
all beast-a den of lions. But, did the
ferocious animals rend him? No-thanks
to gracious God! who is ever the friend
of the innocently oppressed-they did not
touch ham. God sent his angel and stopped
the mouths Of the fearful beasts. and they
lay and walked around Daniel as harm
less as calves. Besides being commits
stoned to interpret the dream of Nebu-
chadnezzer, he was authorized to deliver
several wcighty prophecies, which have
eIerted, and will exert, an influence on
this worlds destiny, until time 8. shall
be no more" The life of this admirable
servant Of the Most High. may well be
studied and inflated. FaithluIness and
seli-denial Shone forth beautifully in his
character; nor were wanting charity and
other precious fruits and graces of the
Holy Spirit. To the young, and, in a
word, to all, we would recommend the
character Of this just man. g At the end
of the days" when the :. Judgment shall
be set, and the books opened" no doubt
whatever can exist but that Daniel shall
be " found in his lot, =" the blessed lot of
the faithful, and receive an everlasting
reward from Him, whose " dominion
shall be from sea ever to sea, and from
the river even to the ends of the earth"

OUTRAGE ON AN AMERICAN CoNsUL.-
A letter, dated Paita, Nov. L., says that
a party of twenty-five men, whose leader
had made himself offensive to the Peruian
government by publishing certain facts
in Lima newspapers, sought the protec-
ton of the q. S. Consul, S. j. Oakford,
Esq, at Tombez, which was granted.
The National Guard surrounded the house
and fired into it, killing one man, wound
ing two others, and endangering the lives
of the Consul and his family. The refu-
gees were forcibly carried away, and the
Consul threatened with arrest.

FRAUD IN Coal SELLING.-A friend of
ours, the head Of large mercantile
house in this city, having noticed that
the carts in which the coal was brought
to his dwelling wanted something con-
siderable of being filled, directed the
porterS at his warehouse. which was sup
piled with fuel by the dealer who sent it
to his house, to weigh a few loads as they
were delivered on successive DAYS. The
result Of the experiment showed that the
loads averaged only 1850 pounds. The
coal dealer was told that deduction
corresponding to the deficiency in weight
must be made in the bills, for the whole
of the large quantity delivered at the
warehouse and at the dwellings of the
several partners of the concern; or that
the matter might be submitted to the ar
bitration Of any respectable man to be
named by the dealer; or that he, the
dealer, might bring suit for his entire
demand. He preferred to submit to the
deduction, and was paid accordingly.-N.

A WATCH STOLEN BY A RAT.-One
night last week the overseer of farm
near Huntley laid his watch Oh table
i'll his sleeping apartment, previous to
going to bed. Towards morning he was
aroused by crash of something that had
fallen, and rattling sound as of some
thing being dragged along the floor. He
Immediately got up, and found his watch
was gone. He lost no time in pursuing
the thief, following the direction of the
sound, when he came upon the watch at
the mouth of the rats hole, into which
the rat had entered, taking the watch
chain, and was only prevented from taking
in the watch by the case springing open
from the fall, which made it require more
room than the hole would admit of. As
it was, The rat did not seem disposed to
loose his prize, bat kept firm hold of
the guard when the owner tried to pull it
from him.

To MAKE Sour KRoUT.-Six heads of
cabbage, half gill of sat-. Wash the
cabbages nicely, line the tub with outer
leaves, and sprinkle over little of the
salt. Cut the cabbages very fine, and
put in a layer of cabbages and sprinkle
over little of the salt until the whole
is in. Each layer of cabbages must be
well pounded down with heavy pestle.
Cover the top with cabbage leaves and a
little more salt. Spread over the whole
a clean cloth, and then q board to fit
closely, with weight to press the cabba-
ges down. As soon as formation ceases
take off the board and cloth, wash them
well, and replace them. The sour krout
will now be fit for use,-Ndional Cook
