WHIsxERs.-The editress of the
Lancaster Literary Gazette says she,
would as soon nestle her nose in rats
nest of swingle tow, as allow man
with whiskers to kiss her.
We don't believe a word Of it! The
objections which some pretend to have
TO whiskers all arise from envy. They
don't have any. They would if they
could, but the fact is, the continual mo-
ton of the lower Jaw is fatal to their
growth. The lsdies-God bless them!

Look at the depredations the dear crea-

the last few years. They have sppro-
priated our shirt bosoms, gold studs
and all. They have encircled their soft
bewitcbing neck in our standing collars
and cFavsts-driying us men to Aattes

hearts have been palpitating in the midst
Of our waist coats, instead Of humping
against the. e.outside as naturally intend

This contrast Of. character may also be

This contrast of character may also be
noticed in the great concerns Of the two
nations. The ardent Frenehman is ali
for military renown: be fights for glory,
thatis to say for success in arms. For.
provided the national flag be victorious,
he cares little about the expense, the
injustice, or the inutility of the war. 1t
is wonderful how the poorest French
man viii revel on triumphant bulletin;
a great victory is meat and drink to him;
and at the sight Of military sovereign,
bringing home captured cannon and
captured standards, he throws up his
greasy cap in the air, and is ready to
jump out Of his wooden shoes for JOY.
John Bull, on the contrary, is rea-
soning, considerate person. If he does
wrong, it is in the most rational way
imagionable. He fights because the
good of the world requires it. He is
moral person, and makes war upon his
neighbor for the -maintainance of peace
and good order, and sound principles.
He is a msney making parsonage, and
fights for the prosperity of commerce
and manufactures. Thus the two ma
tons have been fighting time out of mind,
for glory and good. The French, in
pursuit of glory, have had their capital
twice taken; and John, in pursuit of
good, has run himself over head and
ears in debt.

SwEDBNRoRGIAN FUNERAL.-Mrs.
Mowatt Richie. of Richmond, Va, has
recently lost an adopted daughter. The
funeral services of the young lady Miss
Grey, were conducted in the Episcopal
Church, but the outward observauces
were arranged after the Swedenborgian
method. The coffin was borne into the
church by six gentlemen with white
Grape tied around their arms with white
ribbon. 1t was entirely covered with
white merino; and at the head and foot
were wrealhes of evergreen and white
flowers, and in the center a boquet of
the same, and kind of drapery was
lOoped up round the lids with evergreen
and white blossoms. The hearse was
drawn by white horses, and draped with
white, instead Of the usual array of
black. Mrs. Mowatt Richie, as chief
mourner, was clad entirely in white. and
thus paid the last tokens Of love to this
otherwise friendless orphan girl, whose
short life she had rendered comfortable
and happy, and whose last moments were
full ofbeautiful tranquility.-M r Iri-

TINE AND ETEREITY.-It is good for
US to mediate on our relations TO both
the present and the future. There is a
sentimental and there is also a practical
way of viewing these relations. Senti-
mentally. we may sigh over the vanity
of earthly things, and dream how the
departed dead shall come to us and how
er about US with soft wings of love; and
such musings may cast sombre shade
over the soul, and may play upon the
tender sensibilities, yet rarely make the
heart no better, nor the life more holy.
1t is essential to any pratical good that
we consider the moral relations Of this
life to that, and ask ourselves how our
present deeds are affecting, prospective
ly, the long, leng future of our beng.
Practically, we need to keep our eye on
the formation and development of our
own character, under the assured con-
viction that what we, by grace, become
here, God will stereotype at death, and
fix it beyond change thenceforward for
ever.

WEsLxr on RonAx1sn.--The follow
ing is an extract from q letter from Rev
John Wesley, dated City Road. 1880.
1t expresses precisely the views that w
have entertained. that it was impossible
to make Roman Gatholic citizen o
Protestantof Republican government
He says:
with persecution ] have nothing tc
do. I persecute no man for his re-
ligious principles. Let there be as
.boundless a freedom in religion" as
any man can conceive. But this does
not touch the point; will set religion,
true or false, utterly out of the question.
Suppose the Bible. if you please. to be
a fable, and the Koran to be the word
of God. consider not whether the
Romish religion be true or false; build
nothing on one or the other supposition.
Therefore away with all your common
place defamation about Intolerance and
persecution for religionl Suppose eEe-
~ word of Pope Pius's creed to be truel
suppose the Council of Trent to have
been infallible; yet ! insist upon it that
no government not Roman Catholic
ought to tolerate men Of the Roman
Catholic persuasion.
81 prove this by plain argument
(let him answer it that can )-that no
Roman Catholic does, or can, give Sc
curity for his allegiance or peaceable
behavior, l prove thus: 1t is a Roman
Catholic maxim, established not by pri-
vate men, but by public council, that
"no faith is to be kept with heretics. p
This has been openly avowed by the
Council of Constance; but it was never
openly diselaimed. Whether private
persons avow or disavow it. it is fixed
maxim of the Church Of Rome. But
as long as it is so, nothing can be more
plain, than that the members of that
Church can give no reasonable security
to any government for their allegiance
and peaceable behavior. Therefore,
they ought not to be tolerated by any
government, Protestant, Mohamedan,
or Pagan.
"Again: Those who acknowledge
the spiritual power of the Pope can give
no security for their allegiance to any
government; but all Roman Catholics
acknowledge this; and therefore they
can give no security for their allegiance.
Nay, not only the Pope but priest
has the power to pardon sinsl But
they that acknowledge this cannot pos
sibly give any security for their ale
glance to any government. oaths are
no security at all; for the priest can
pardon both perjury and high treason.
Setting then religion aside, it is plain,
that upon principles of reason, no gov
eminent ought to tolerate Roman Catho-
lies as citizens"

ARCHBISHOP HUGHES AND SENATOR
BRooKs.-In March last, when the
Church Property bill was under consid-
Grafton in the New York Legislature,
Mr.. Erastus Brooks, one of the editors
of the Express, and Senator from New
York city, made speech, in which, he
stated that Archbishop Hughes held
about $4,000, 900 Of property in his own
right, and urged the fact as one reason
why the bill should pass. The Arch
bishop responded in long letter to the
Courier, explicitly denying the Senator's
allegation, and promising if the charge
could be substantiated, to devote two
millions of the amount for the estab-
lishment of a public library which he
suggested should be called the "Erastus
Brooks Library" Mr.. Brooks prompt
ly accepted the challenge; he has so far
produced deeds for forty-one distinct
parcels of property owned by the Arch
bishop. and gives assurance that fifty
eight will be shown before he is DONE
The controversy has been going on in
the newspapers for more than a month;
the Archbishop endeavoring to escape
from his position. and at times indulg-
ing in some genuine abuse Of his antag-
onist. His last letter concludes as fol-
lows:
81 take him with covered hands to the
nearest open sash Of a window, and send
him forth with the simple mental obser-
walton, 60 hence, wretched and vile in
sect-world has place for you as well
as me-"
Archbishop Hughes has recently pub
lished letter giving an explanation OF
the conditions upon which the Catholic
Church property is held by the Bishop:
He says nothing less than coercion will
induce the Catholics to regard the pres
ent law of New York on the subject
This is an unfortunate assertion to pro-
coed from high ecclesiastic.

DREss.-The honorable Miss Murry,
sister of Scotch Duke, and maid of
honor to Queen Victoria, has been stay
ing for some days in New York. Miss
Murry is alady of fine person, robust
health, and uncomn energy of charac-
ter--aged about thirty-ive years. Her
frank and cordial manners, her intelf-
gence and great kindness Of heart, Sc
cure her many friends. She appears,
however. to have been struck with
amaxement, at the extravagant expendi-
ture. the helpless. and III health Of that
unfortunate class of beings, the fashion
able woman of our cities. Miss Murry,
ike the fashionable women Of Europe.
dresses so plainly that it probably costs
her less to dress a whole year, than
many a New York lady expends for
half a dozen handkerchiefs. 1t is a
settled thing in Europe, that extrava-
gance in dress is the very extreme Of
vulgarity, and is never INDUCED in ex-
cept by those whose only claim to dis.
tinction is their length Of purse.

+ PorAroEs SEEKING A MXRKEr.-The
price Of potatoes is evidently on the
wane, and all housekeepers will rejoice
that the odious monopoly. which has
reigned for some time, will speedily be
broken up. As further evidence that
there is no possible chance for scarcity
here, we note the fact that schooner
arrived at this port this morning from
Boston via. New York, with cargo Of
5000 bushels and finding but poor
market, the master very prudently
tackled ship. and sailed again for New

Cosr OF THraTxEx DAYS BoMBARD.

CosT OF TH1RTxEx DAYS BoMBARD.
MENT.-The New York Courier ana
Enquirer goes into curious calculation
of the cost of the last bombardmen'
of Sevastopol by the Allies. 1t wa:
immense, and almost unproductive ol
results; for, at last accounts, the allies
had only succeeded in partly silencing
one or two of the batteries outside the
town, which were constructed since the
invaders landed in the Crimea. The
town itself is as strong as ever. and il
would be almost certain snnihilation for
an army TO attempt to take it by as
sault. Looking at It in this light, we
should not be surprised to hear that the
French and English had raised the siege.
Here is the Courier's calculation of the
powder and balls for thirteen days:
"Tbe Courier says. the British Gov
ernment and people are beginning to
understand by means of augmented
taxes, and the opening of the fire of
the allies suggests the costs of the iron
balls which have been thrown into
Sevastopol by the five hundred cannon
which have vomited them in what
Gortschahoff called can internal FIRE. "
Each of these guns fred one hundred
and twenty rounds day, which gives
total for the FIVE hundred, of six
ty thousand rounds. This fire had been
continued for thirteen days, making an
aggregate of seven hundred and eighty
thousand missiles rained upon the city.
The daily delivery of iron to the Rus
slams would amount to two million seven
hundred thousand pounds, and total
for the thirteen days of thirty fUe mil
lion one hundred thousand pounds-the
prime cost of which. in the rough. at
the average price Of pig iron in England
for the year was not less than three
hundred and thirteen thousand three
hundred and eighty dollars: "If the
cannon balls fred from the allied lines,
during the thirteen days, we're rolled
into rail bars, weighing sixty pounds to
the yard, the bars would extend three
hundred and twenty-five miles; or if
laid as a railroad, would suffice for a
single track road from New York to Al
bany, with all the necessary turn-outs.
The charge of powder for each gun
would probsbly average about six
pounds, which would show an expendi-
ture for the thirteen days of four mil
lions six hundred and eighty thousand
pounds of powder. Such powder is
worth here eighteen cents a pound, but
in England would not. probably, cost
more than fifteen cents, at which price
the powder cost seven hundred and two
thousand dollars

MYSTERY ON EVERY SIDE.-The world
is full of mysteries. The chamber in
which the infant opens its eyes is uni
verse Of mysteries. The fathers voice,
the mothers smiles, reveal to it slowly
the mysterious world of the affections.
The child solves many of these myste-
ries; but as the circle of knowledge is
enlarged, its vision is always bounded
by a veil of mystery. The sun that
wakens it at morning, and again at
night looks in at its window to bid it
farewell; the tree. that shades its home,
and in whose branches the birds come
and sing before the dews are dry. the
clouds with shining edges that move
across the sky, calm and stately like the
chariot of an angel, all are mysteries.
Nay, to grown up men there is not a
thing which the hand touches or on
which the eye rests, which is not en-
veloped in mystery. The flower that
springs at our feet-who has revealed
the wonderful secret of its origination?
Its roots shoot down, and leaf and flower
rise up and expand into infinite abyss
of mystery. We are like emigrants
.traveling through an unknown wilder
ness; they stop at night by flowing
stream; they feed their horses, set up
their tent, and build fire; and as the
flames rise up. all within the circle oi
few rods around is distinct and clear
i'm its light. But beyond and bounding
this. are rocks dimly seen, and trees
with vague outline stoop forward to a
blaze: and beyond the creek and the
waters murmur over their beds; and
wild unknown animals howl in the dark
realms of night and silence. Such is
the light Of mans knowledge. and so il
is bounded BY the in6niterealmsofm mys-
kHYy.

The LONDON PUNCH ON GESpER.--
The sun is called masculine from his
supporting and sustaining the-moon, and
finding her the wherewithal to shine
away as-she does of night; and from
his being obliged to keep such a family
of Stars besides. The moon is feminine,
because she is constantly changing. just
as a ship is-blown about by every wind.
The church is feminine because she is
married to the State. and time is mas
culine because he is trifed with by the
ladies.

: THE WHEAr PRosPEcr IN TEE WxsT-
J We learn from gentleman. who has
travelled pretty extensively through the
States Of the North-west during the
past six weeks, that the prospect Of the
wheat crop was never better. In Iowa
a large quantity has been sown, but so
great is the emigration to that State,
and 80 rapidly did it 6ll up last season,
that a large portion of the surplus viii
be required for the new settlers there,
and in Kansassnd Nebraska. Through
out Illinois, it is represented that the
crops never looked better. The high
prices for the last few years, and the al.
most certainty that there will be little
abatement during the present, have
stimulated the farmers to SOW to an ex.
tent beyond former precedent. And the
same may be said Of Wisconsin. The
prospect is that the abundant crop Of
last year will be succeeded BY one equal
ly good this. ~e
We hear good reports too from In
diana and Michigan, On the whole, If
no outward event interposes between
now and harvest, the North-west-which
is. in fact the granary Of the Union
will turn out a surplus which will glad
den the hearts of the breadless in our
Eastern cities.
There will be comparatively few men
engaged in the construction Of railroads
in the West during the present season,
all the great lines being nearly compile
ted. This win reduce the consumption
Of non-producers, and cause large
amount Of labor to return to agricul-
ture-thus increasing our surplas by the
operation of two causes. So our Eas-
tern friends may look for an active fall
business, and full supply of bread
stuffs. unless blight or mildew. or some
other destroying agent shall blast the
fair prospects Of the present.-Chieago

Lay around EACH tree, early in spring.
say April, half a peck of air-slacked

several times during the season, and If
the grub has made its way into any OF
