"As small but interesting and significant
fact, the arrival yesterday of consignments
of about 1000 sacks of wheat from Arkan-

Making II new morning!
One white arm across her brow
Draws the sleepy fair one:

Is she not II rare one!
Still she sits in wonder so,
With the shroud around her,
Like Liiiarose in the snow
When the Spring has found her!

s45 Henry Ward Bcecher says that liberty
of opinion liz our theological seninares is IL
mere form, to say nothing of the thumbscrew
of criticism, by which every original mind is
tortured into negative propriety. The whole
boasied liberty of the student consists in
choice of chans-a choice OF handcuiis,
whether he will wear the Presbyterian hand
cuffs, Baptist, Methodist, Episcopal, or other
Evangelical handcutfs Hence it has now
come to pass that the ministry themselves
dare not touch the Bible. Largo portions
thereof are seldom touched"

DEAL GENTLY WITH THE ERRlNG.--That
man possesses an extremely low and grovel
ling mind who .ejoices at the downfall of
another. A noble heart instead of denounc.
ing as 4 consummate scoundrel, one who
has erred, will throw around him the mantle
of charity and the arms of love, and labor to
bring him back to duty and to God. Weure
not our own keepers. Who knows when we
shall so far forget ourselves as to put forth
right hand and sin. Heaven Lceps us in the
narrow path. But, if we should fail, where
would be the end of our course; if in every
face we saw frown, and on every brow we
read vengeance, deeper and deeper would we
descend in the path of nfamy; when if "a diff
ferent spirit were manifested towards us, we
might have stayed our career of sin and died
an upright and honest man. Deal gently
with those who go astray. Draw them back
by love and persuasion, kind word is more
valuable to the lost than mine of gold.-
Think of this and be on your guard, ye who
would chase to the confines of the grave IN

Suspension Of Specie Payment.

There is just now considerable dis
|cussion in regard to the aspect of for
eign affairs, and many predict sus-
pension of specie payments both in
France and England. If this should
take place, we do not see that it would
affect any interest here universally;
and therefore we may await the re-
suit without anxiety.-N y Journal
of Commerce.
Per contra. The New York Her
aid thinks that the suspension Of spe-
Gle payments by France and England,
will be attended by terrible finan-
cial CONFUSION in this country, and adj
vises the commercial classes to Con-
tract their business as much as posi-
bic, and prepare for stormy times. 70
The question now seems to be, hoO
will France and England pay us for
the immense amount Of breadstuffs
they require?

We place at our mast head to-day
the name of WM. r. HARRIS, of this
county, as our choice for the office oil
Supreme Judge, made vacant by the
resignation Of Hon. A. w. O.. Totten.
In taking this step, We believe we
reflect the wishes Of majority OF

selection is to be- made. On the
SCORE Of experience, competency and

THE ELECTION.

The day of the election for Su-
preme Judge draws near, and we fear
that sufficient attention is not excited
to the very great Importance of the
issue. 1t follows so soon after the
Governors election-it is so'froe from
all the material influences and inte-
rests which induce efforts in an ordina-
ry contest-that it is difficult for tie
whole body of voters to realize that
an election is to be held as important
as any that has appealed to their pa
triotic duty for many-a-year. Yet
what more can we urge than has been
already sufficiently said than ought
indeed to be contained in single mo-
ment's reflection on the objects Of the
election, and the circumstances of the
occasion? There are really but two
candidates in the feld-Hon. Vim. r
Harris (democrat) and Mr.. Bullocl
