Our Charity at Home!

Here is a subject that came to our mind
by seeing the small subscription passing
about town, for the relief of woman
and family, who were in destitute and dis
tressed circumstances; and it should re-
ceive the attention of our people gen
orally. We see every day great contri-
buttons made for foreign purposes, with
an astonishing degree of liberality, while
here at home, the greatest suffering imag-
Unable, receives the cold charitable sig
pense. Who is there in this place that is
not known to some case of want and suf
fering? And yet, how cold the charity
But let some excitement be raised for
sending money abroad, and every man,
woman and child are ready to make their
contributions. Why is this? Is the gift
sent abroad, in they eyes of the great
wise Ruler, SO much more acceptable, oil
what can stimulate our people to contri-
buttons of this kind?
Remember that old addage, and "let
your charity begin at home" After all
the misery is removed from before our
eyes, and our philanthropy still burns for
unseen suffering, then is time to extend
the lovely hand of charity still farther
We are opposed to this charity that is al
ways seeking objects abroad upon which
to lavish its kindness.

Union School House.

This is matter that should interest the
citizens of Upper Sandusky, for a school
house is very much needed. When we
do go about building house for school
purposes, why not also have a view to
the interest and beauty of our town, and
build house, not only convenient, but Of
good size and shape, so that the building
may be an ornament while it is conven-
fence. We say, by all means, put up a
good nice school house, one that will be
sufficiently large to accommodate all the
children in and about town. Wherever
this system of schools has been tried, the
people have become very much attached
to it, although some of them were much
opposed to it at first.
A house can be built that will accomo-
date all the children in and about town,
for about five thousand dollars, and then
We would have building that would be
creditable to our place and people. II
this amount was divided and two or three
small buildings put up, what would be
the result? There would be but little ac
commodation to the children, the build
ings would be an injury 10 the town, and
the school would not be one half as good.
We are not particular as to the location of
the building, but must urge the necessity,
propriety and advantage Of the large
building and Union School System. All
our colleges end well conducted schools
are now on this system, and if adopted
here the necessity of sending abroad to
educate the young, will be removed.

Anniversaries.

The anniversary of the American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mis-
sions, was held on Friday morning, at the
Broadway Tabernacle. The audience
was not very large. Hon. Theodore Ere
hnghuyson, President, occupied the chair.
The annual statement was read by Rev.
Geo. Wood, from which it appears that
The Society has under its care 28 For
eign Missions, which occupy III stations,
and 38 regular out-stations. Of these. 7
are among the aborigines of our country,
2 are in Central Africa, and l on the
Western Coast. There is another in Port
Natal, in Greece, among the Jews in
Turkey, among the nominal Christians
in the midst of Mahommedans, IL in In
dia, on the Island of Ceylon, and 3 in
China. There are six female missionary
assistants.
The whole number Of laborers sent
from here during the year, was 4o7. In
connection with these were sc native
preachers and 1872 native helpers-total
638. 37,127, 1851 pages of the Word of
God were spread during the last year
The whole amount of pages issued by the
society was $4,000. There were 8
seminaries connected with the Board, 90
boarding schools, 712 other schools, and
$4,000 pupils. There were also under
their care 1O3 churches. The receipts OF
the society from August 1, 1853, to May
/, 1854, have been 1913, 200 1872, ,84Q
36 more than last year. Expenditures,
$330,ooo. Average receipt of money
per month, $31,9OO.
Rev. G. V. A. Dyck, of the Mission tc
Syria, addressed the meeting at some
length, on the difficulties which they had
to encounter in Syria. He looked upon
Mahommedanism as a system that was
soon to fall before the great truths of the
Gospel.
Rev. 0. Allen, ofBombay, India, spoke
of that country as one of the finest in the
world, and inferior to none on the face o.
the Globe. 1t was a country of great an
tiquity, country that changes but little
and was about the same it was thousand
years ago.

GRATEFUL You've AMERIcA.-A day or
two since, an adventurous boy, numbering
some ten summers, undertook to skull
skiff across the Ohio, from Cincinnati to
Covington. When little over half his
voyage had been accomplished, a German
gentleman standing on the Kentucky side
saw the frail bark capsize and the boy
strugglingin the angry tide. Inamoment
be divested himself of coat and boots and
plunged into the stream to the youths
assistance. He reached him just as he
was sinking for the last time, and caught
the youngster by the head, on which the
latter seized him by the arm, and for
moment both were in danger of being lost.
Happily, the gentleman possessed great
presence of mind, and gave the boy sud-
den kick, the effect of which caused him to
release his hold, and enable his preserver
to bring him safely to shore. Again ON
dry land, Young America shook himself
like true water-dog, and turning to his
prescrver, said in emphatic tones, "What

WORKING WELL.-The Nebraska Bill
is doing some thing for our Congress men
that has not been done before for some
time. 1t has caused them to work night
and day. Two nights in regular session,
and the fight going brsvely on. Is it the
preservation Of the country or the pros.
pect of political glory that is the incentive
to all the great excitement now going on
in Washington in relation to the settle
ment of the Nebraska matter? We think
there is much more wind and thunder go
ing on there than will ever amount to
much, and the settlers Of The Territory
will finally fix things to suit themselves.

AN AMUSING INC1DENT--A letter from
an officer Of the fleet, dated 18, tells the
following rather good story:
zone morning, a few days since, we
saw a large vessel eightor ten miles ahead,
which we fully believed TO be Russian
man-of-war, as she made all sail to get
away, and showed no colors. AS we
rapidly came up with her, she took in sail
until she was under reefed topsails
fighting trim-so we beat to quarters,
and the pipe sounded loudly. Hands, bring
the ship into action" For some three
minutes everything was bustle--casting
the guns loose, clearing the decks, &c.
Five minutes more, and every gun was
shotted and prined. and the men standing
with the match-lines in their hands. waiting
for the word to fire. Just as we got
within good hailing distance. the black
guard ran up American colors, and cody
told us that he would have hoisted them
sooner, but he acantea to sec hoao smartly aot
could clear for action. If our tars did not
bless him to the wrong side of heaven,

THE MARCH TO THE GRAvE.--What a
mighty procession has been marching
toward the grave during the past year!
At the usual estimate, since the lst of
January, 1853, more than 81, 5000 of
the worlds population have gone down to
the earth again. Place them in long
array, and they will give moving colum
of more than thirteen hundred to every
mile of the globes circumference! Only

astounding computations!W Whataspectacle

Terrible Steamboat Explosion.

The explosion of the Secretary, in
California, on the 18th ult, was an awful
affair. A correspondent writes us some
of the particulars:
This morning, about ten o'clock, the
steamers Secretary and Nevada left from
the Pacific wharf, bound for Petaluma.
At twelve O'Clock precisely, while crossing
San Pablo bay, the Secretary burst her
boiler, carrying death and destruction iu
every part of The boat to the sixty pas
sengers on board. SO great was the force
of the explosion that the boat was literally
blown to pieces. The Nevada happened
to be near, and Immediately rendered
every possible assistance. She Immediately
put about after caring for the survivors, and
attending to the dead. Many persons
were blown overheard, and their bodies
not recovered. We learn from Capt
Travers, of the Secretary, that the scene
on board after the explosion was awful,
the groans of the dying and wounded; and
the lamentations of those whose friends
were lost, being heart-rending.
Fourteen were killed dead, thirty nine
were badly injured, and the others
escaped.

Later from the Cape of Good Hope.
By the arrival of the ship Jamestown,
Capt. Moore, we have papers from Cape
town, G. G. H., to the 1st of April, but
they contain nothing of Importance.

Many pure nuggets, forty grains, had

of 1850 are violated by the bill. Had ii
been understood that the Democratic
party intend to repeal the Missouri COM
pact, Pierce would now be in private life,
and the Representatives ofth North who
favored the repeal would have their places
! filled by others. He held to the power of
of Congress to legislate for Territories.
Mr.. Stuart, of Ohio, being unable to
get the floor, received permission to print
his speech against the bill.
Mr.. Staunton, OF Tennessee, consider
that the Missouri act was like all other
laws-repealable; and repeal was justified
by the change Of circumstances since its
passage.
Mr.. Goodrich argued that the repeal OF
the Missouri act would be the end of all
other compromises, which would not be
considered binding by the North. The
pretense that the acts of 1850 repealed
that of 1920, would be considered a cheat
and swindle.
Mr.. HEM and Mr.. Wittee supported the
bill, holding that the Missouri Compro-
mise is repealable like other laws.
Mr.. Chastain also spoke for the bill as
containing the true republican policy.
