A Coon ONE-Sometime since the Me-
thodists Episcopal ministers of New York
met in convention, and denounced the fu-
gitive slave law as being opposed to the
Scripture. This aroused member OF one
of the churches, who answered this mis-
terial document with pungency, and clo-
sed his communication. with an extract
from one of the church,s expositions toE
the use of Sabbath Schools as follows:
Who was Philemon /? st1
He.was minister, a fellow-laborer with
st. Paul. it . scgsz5- 50 z7
Who was Onesimus2 -
A slave of Philemon, who having ROD
bed his master, run away from him.
What become of Onesmius .Es
St. Paul found him, and after oelng
instrumental in his Conversion. sent him
back to his master, not feeling 1T lawful to
detain him. rrsaza.1a,z 81 -.
The writer challenged these ministers r
to draw any other than the following CON
clusions from the passage of book which
they taught in their Sabbath schools.

sugar formed part of his private stores,
and with this he caused the child to be
fed. He even; took it home with him and
reared it up in, his own family. sl.N
The republication of the above remind
ed us Of an account given. some years
since, by highly respectable gentleman
who was present with others, when Gen.
jackson was the occupant of the Presi-
dental mansion at Washington. When
breakfast was announced, the venerable
patriot with his guests entered the room
at one door, Mrs. Donaldson and her
two children entered another at the op-
posite end. Immediately on seeing him,
they ran to receive the morning kiss
Extending his arms, and bending his
graceful form, he caught up first one and
then the other, caressipg them with all
the fondness of doating parent. They
returned to their mother, and all were
soon seated at the table. Bowing his
head with the humility of a dependent
suppliant, conscious of the rectitude of his
intentions, and yet feeling the need of a
higher Wisdom than his own, to enlighten
and direct the judgment, he devoutly in
voked the blessing of God.
The scene was deeply affecting, and
drew tears from eyes unused to weeping
Such was Andrew Jackson at home
When called upon to defend his country
on the battlefield, or to preside over hel
councils in peril. he was decided, reso'
! lutte and irresistible. His mind, wonder.
fully iutuitive, comprehending at glance
that which those of inferior intellectual
powers could only reach and comprehend
by laborious process of investigation
was ga law unto itself" He was accused
of rashness, when he should have beer
praised for superior wisdom. But while
in manner lie was the accomplished gen
tleman, his true manhood was conspicu
ously displayed in the sphere of the soci
al and domestic affections. While EN-
balmed in the admiration of his friends
he will be immortalized by the blind vim
dictiveness of his enemies.

and rs feet in height. From the tops
of these, float the flags of different ma
tious, while from the apex of the dome
proudly waves, as seen in the engraving,
the ensign of freedom, the glorious stars
and stripes. These towers contain win
ding stairways leading to the galleries
and roof, intended for the use of those
employed about the building. From the
gallery two spacious balconies extend
over the Northern.and Southern entrance
halls. affording pleasant promenading-
places and abundance of room for flow
er-vases and other ornaments. Almost
the whole ground is covered by the bull
ding; the portion that is not is laid out in
handsome lawn with here and there a
flower-bed interspersed.
Finding the building as thus erected
still insufficient for the purposes of the
Exhibition, the Directors commenced a
short time since the construction of ano-
ther edifce, rectangular in form, COM
municating with the Palace proper, and
lying between it and the Reservoir. 1t
runs over almost the whole extent of the
! lot. being 451 feet five inches long. and
rs feet wide. The lower story is to be
occupied by machinery in motion, the
neurological cabinet and the refreshment
rooms the second story is to be lighted
by sky-light 41e feet long. and will be
devoted exclusively to painting and statu-
ary. The framework of this building is
not yet entirely up. They are working at
it with the utmost energy, but six weeks
at least must elapse before it gets in or
der This building cannot be seen in the
engraving, as it lies behind, andis obscu-
red by the main edifce.
The framework of the Palace is exclu-
sively of iron pillars and pannels, into
which are inserted the sashes of the win
dows and the louvres for ventilation
The whole quantity of iron thus employ
ed is 1900 tons, of which 800 are wrought
and the remainder cast. The filing in is
entirely of glass and some conception
may be formed of the size of the building
from the fact that the amount used has
been $4,000 panes or $1,000 square feet.
This is not ordinary transparent glass if
it were, the glare would be so great on a
bright day as to offend and injure the eyes.
This effect is prevented by process of
enamelling, which renders the glass trans
lucent. and deprives the rays of light of
their intensity, by diffusing them as they
pass through. The enamel is put on
with brush, and then vitrifed and har-
dened by being subjected to great heat.
Not only does it give fine effect to the
interior of the building, but also
communicates to the outside brilliancy of
appearance in keeping with its name
The roofs consist of boards matched to-
gether and covered with tin.
The Palace covers about 200. 900 square
feet, or FIVE acres of land. 1t is by all
means the most imposing and splendid
edifice we have ever had in this country
To be appreciated it must be seen. The
most minute description. the most faith
full pictorial representation of it can do no
more than give an approximate idea of
its beauty.

NEWlYORK CRYSTAL.PALACE.

Wepresent our readers this week with
a graphic and faithful representation, of
the Crystal Palace. The spectator is sup
posed to be standing on the Sixth Ave
nue. side, and the excitement in the street
is not a particle exaggerated. A line of
cars going up and down every other mi
mute passes the door, and dozen lines of
omnibusses have so extended, modified or
altered their routes, as to bring passen-
gers to this great centre of attraction; and
these. added to the host of carts that are
constantly bringing up fresh goods, and
the private carriages with their liveried
laqueys. present from morning till night
scene of never ceasing activity.
The edifce stands on what was pub
lie park, adjoining the lower Croton Re-
servoir, bounded by Forty second street
on the North. the Reservoir on the East,
Fortieth street on the South, and the
Sixth Avenue on the West. The Asso-
citation was incorporated on the 18th of
March, 1852, for FIVE years, and the city
granted them lease of the ground in
question for similar period at the nomi-
nal rent of one dollar. 4 The dimensions
of this Park were 444 feet by 455. 1t was
thus nearly square, shape more unfavo-
vorable than any other for the produc-
ton of architectural effect; this would
have preclude1 its selection by the Direc-
tors had they been able to obtain any
other convenient location on as advanta-
geous terms. h~ @ .-f
From variety of designs which were
handed in from various quarters, the one
submitted by Messrs. Christensen and
GiIdemeister Of this city, was selected as
most appropriate and affording with the
given space the greatest amount of
room. This plan, however, was some
what modified. AS it now stands, the
building is in the form of Greek cross,
surmounted, at the intersection of the
arms with magnificent dome. The
arms of the cross are of equal size, each
being 365 feet five inches in length, and
l49 feet five inches in width. On the
Northern, Southern and Western sides,
entrance halls have been added twenty
seven feet wide. 1t was found, however,
! that with this form and these dimensions
there would not be space enough for the
articles promised, and therefore in the
four intervals between the arms of the
cross. triangular additions were made on
the ground floor only, thus giving the
foundation the form of regular octagon.
A gallery 54 feet wide extends around
the whole perimeter ofthe cross proper.
The interior is divided into four sec
tions by two naves or principal avenues
Al feet five inches wide, which cross
each other at right angles, leaving an
open space at their intersection, in the
centre, Immediately beneath the dome
Parallel " ith these nayes run aisles "a
feet in width, which, as we'll as the
triangular lean-tos added between the arms
Of the cross, are divided into apartments
twenty-seven feet square, which are aP-
propriated to states or individual exhibit
tors
teach angle of the building stands
