"WHrrHER SHALL GO FROM THY SPIRIT ~
The God of heaven is the controller of all
events. Every change through the universe
which he has created, wears the impress of his
agency. The most important and the most mi
mute results, point unerringly at him. The
birth of the smallest insect and the creation of
a mighty universe. are alike the effects of his
almighty power. He extends that great ces-
tral law, which binds planet in its sphere, to
the dewdrop which trembles on the leaf of the
rose. He heayes the turbd ocean. and curls
the surface of the sleeping lake. He plunges
the laundering cataract down into it's awful
depth, and leads the gentle murmuring rivulet
through the quiet and peaceful vale. He un.
binds the earthquake that is to overthrow ci-
ties, and lends sweet music to the lay of the
morning larks. From the bright seraph that
kneels on the footsteps Of his burning throne.
to the pebble that paves the sunless caverns of
the deep, all is seen and all is heard. No note.
expressive of happiness or sorrow, escapes his
ear. The wall of a nation. and the cry of a
young raven, come up alike before him. He
hears the soul-slck confession of the pampered
monarch, and the signing of the desolate cap
tive. ne marks the distress that wraps the pa
laces OF the great in weeds, and the disappoint-
ments that invade the simple homes of the cot
tage; lie is by the side ofdeparting age, and
the dying couch OF infant life. The tears of the

gied IN one cup before him. And this holy God

CHRISTMAS IN THE CRTNEA.-A Writer from

ed down went spoon, tin and everything else

and, having SO much salt pork and junk late

Chr .stmas so we started one of our men off to
Balnn'ava, where he purchased 6lbs of houi
Tor 6s. and 3lbs. U.f rlnms for As, which is ra
ther dear. So having had our fill of pancakes
the next consideration was how to make the
Christmas pudding-and this was a teaser.-
However, we picked the plums, and got them
mixed with the -four. In place of suet, we cut
up pieces of salt fat pork very fine, which be-
ing also ANAL gamatcd with the other ingre.
dents our pudding was complete as to max
ing. Now, as to cooking it, we found an old
camp kettle, which, having pierced with our
bayOnets, and filled with charcoal (now allow.

placed another camp kettle with our pudding
in, and left it to boil for three hours, when it
was pronounced done; so off with it. and on

pork and fresh meat the first we have had for
six weeks) and some onions, which made a
very savory mess, assure you. Our dinner
being ready, we were in want of something to
wash it down, but having neither spirits, wine,
porter nor tea, on went the frying-pa again
to roast some green coffee (by-the-by, l have
just finished roasting and grinding bottle full
of that same article,) which being roasted, one
of US gets large stone which is worked hol-
low in the centre. Into it the coffee is put land
a 42-pOund shot rolled over it, with due guam
tum of sugar to boil and so our Christmas
dinner is ready, and can assure you that we
were ready also, and enjoyed our dinner as
we'll as the circumstances would allow While
eating my plum dough it made me think of
dear old England and the happy Christmas l
spent there last year, and where I hope to
spend my next"

The PINERIEs.--In the Pineries on the Upper
st. Croix, owing to the lack ofsnow during The
early part OF the winter, it is thought that not
withstanding the since favorrble weather, no
more than the usual amount of lumber. per
team, will be got out to the River. In tie
Willow River and Apple River Pineries the
amount OF lumber, per team, that will have
been got out will far exceed the operations OF
any previous season.
The St. Croix Union. a few weeks since. in
putting down the number ofteams in the differ
ent Pineries, gives only three as the number in
the Willow River Pnery. There are eleven
teams engaged there, instead of three, so we
are informed.
It is estimated that 20, 000, 900 feet of lumber
in the logs will be got out during the present
season. fiom the Pineries of the st. Croix VAL
ley. sThe mills along the river will not be able
to saw more than $4,000, 600 feet This will
leave surplus of &c. 900, 600 of feet to be raft

more than five million feet of lumber
