Christ as Il Redeener.

1t seems to me that in the, present day the
doctrine OF redemption wonld have been receiv-
ed more effectively had men viewed the sun as
most as the glorious luminary, Instead of s.n-
Cling out for contemplation individual rays,
which thus isolated, will be all but extinct
They acknowledge Christ as redeemer, but
they have so restricted the notion as to deprive
it OF all vitality. At the mention of the word
nothing else occurs to their thoughts but-the
what is confessedly of prime Importance, yet
only in connection with all beside-the blood
which was shed at Golgotha. For all within
you which sghs after redemption, is Chris,
come as redeemer; He has redeemed your body
and your spirit; He has redeemed yourself and
nature which surrounds you; He has redeemed
you, not only by his death, but by his resurrec.
tor; mot only by his life on earth, but by his
intercession on the right hand of God; not only
by his actions, but by his word; not only by hi
humanity but by his divinity; not Only by wha
He was in time, but what He is throughout eter
nity [Tholuck.

A Learncd Judge.

The law is sometimes strangely administered,
owing perhaps to strange freak of commu-
mites in the bestowal of the suffrages. A case
in an adjoining county, may be cited as an IL
lustration. circuit Judge meeting Justice
of the Peace, before whom case had just been
tried, remarked:
esquire, cannot see how you could possibly
have given judgment against the plaintiff in SO
plain case p
'Judgereplied the other, "I'll tell you how it
was. On last election day treated the fellow
more than twenty times; bought him new
shirt to make him look decent, and let him have
money to electioneer on; and what do you think?
the internal rascal went agin me all day! And
now you see, this is the first hitch I've had at
him since, and was bound to put him through
to the end of the string"
sBut, Squire you should consider that there
are higher tribunals than Justices Court, and
your decision will most certainly be reversed,
| and remember, also, public opinion
As to higher tribunals" said the Esquire, "n
they don't like myadecisions, why they can just
| resign; and as forspublic opinion, wont give a
tinker's cuss for it, and expect that, too. will
go agin me at next election. The Office is now
mine, aud before they getm out of it, III give
some of them fellows regular fits in the way o.
law"

Baron Rothschild.

The Paris correspondent of the New York
Tribune thus notices the death Of Rothschild:
!. You will see by the German papers that
Anslem Meyer Rothschild, the eldest of the five
sons of the founder Of the house, and, since the
fathers death, its chief, died one day last week
at Frankfort. After running on time for Sd
years, Death refused him any further extension
and he must needs pay the common debt of na-
ture quite like "a common man. Yes was he no
common man, tins chief Of the house of Roths-
child. Who 1rp of the Jews, in all his glory,
compared to U Jew of Kings" who did in
some sort rule dser wider domain than was ever
dreamed, of in Solomon's geography, whose
wealth surpassed that of Ophir, to whom kings
paid tribute, by whose leave kings made war? =
Poor Shylock! How would thy hardly provo.
ked have been satisfied could thy vengeful eye
have seen the phophetic vision one Of thy tribe
furnishing to Christian powers the sinews o
their internecine wars, and in the horrors o
these wars, awful as the Apocalyptic woes, seer
I thy poor pound offlesh magnifed and multiple,
beyond conceptions of the most unsnrious fhlift
| into heaps Of bloody corpses, and yet the BON
ln01 forfeit! Perhaps old Anslem Meyers ha
his pleasure u this. True, things have change
| for the better eince Shylock's time, but the an
cient grudge still smoulders not yet quite ex

Interesting Dircoycry.

Among some old papers about the New. Hamp-
shire state capitol the original draft Of the follow
ing resolutions in the handwriting of Gen. Pierce,
have been discovered. They were reported by the
democratic representative from Hillsborough, the
native town Of General Pierce, and passed the
democratic legislature ofl847 unanimously. II
is a remarkable fact (says the New York Post)
that the very three men, Norris, Williams and
Hibbard, who signed the resolutions in their off,
cial capacity, were in Congress, and voted to re-
peal the Missouri Compromise:
Resolved by the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives in General Assembly Convened, That
we regard the institution of slavery as moral,
social and political evil and as such, we deeply
regret its existence and are willing to concur in
all reasonable and constitutional measures that
may tend to its removal.
Resolved, That in all territory which may here.
after be added or acquired by the United States
where slavery does not exist at the time of such
addition or requirement, neither slavery or invol-
untary servitude, except for the punishment o
crime, whereof the party has been duly convicted
ought ever to exist, but the same should ever re-
main free; and we are opposed to the extension o
slavery over any such territory; and that we alse
approve of the vote of our Senator'S and Repre-
sentatives in Congress in favor of the Wilmo
| Proviso
Resolved, That our Senators in Congress -bt
| instructed, and our representatives be requested
| by all expedient and constitutional means an(
, measures, to sustain the principles hereiu above
set forth.

ReA. A friend of the editor of the s'Memphis
Appeal in the police force, met couple of ser
wants going to church, on Sunday evening last,
and desired them to show their pass, when he
had handed to him half sheet of letter paper
neatly folded, and on opening it, to his surprise
read as follows.
.DEAR SIR: Please permit the boy Joe, and
Ann, tie partner of his joys and sorrows, to
proceed through this dark vale of tears to the
Baptist Church, and there join the mass ane
splay on a harp of athousa.d strings and il
happiness to return to their home. Yours II

h6r The estimates Of the Administration re-
veal the fact that the expenses of our federal gov
ernment for the present year will be seventy-one
millions. John Quincy Adams was driven from
Office by cry of 'sextravagance, the highest
expenditures of his administration never exceeded
thirteen millions. Fillmore, quarter of centu
ry later, was charged with "extravagance," be
cause with the war debt upon his shoulders, he
spent fifty millions. But three years, this econo'
mical Democratic administration has run tht
expenses up from fifty to seventy-one millions!

OUR CHILDHOOD.


BIZ GEo. d. PRENTICE
msA
'Tis sad {et sweet, teIlisten
To the soft winds gentle swell,
And think we hear the music,
Our childhood loved 80 well;
To gaze out on the even
And the boundless fields of air,
And feel again boyish wish
To roam like angels there!
There are many CLEANS Of gladncss
That cling around the past
And from the tomb of feeling
Old thoughts come throbbing fast;
The forms we loved so dearly
Ii the happy days are gone,
The beautiful and lovely,
So fair to look upon.
Those bright and lovely maidens
Who seemed so formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly =
For such world as this!
Whose soft dark eyes secm'd swimming
In a sea of liquid light,
And whose locks of gold were streaming
O'er brows so sunny bright;
Whose smiles were like the sunshine
In the Spring time OF the year
Like the changeful CLEANS OF April,
They followed every tear!
They have passed-like hope-away-
all their lovelind8 has fed
Oh! many heart is mourning
That they are with the dead.
And yet the thought is saddeniEg
To muse of such as they
And feel that all the beautiful
Are passing fast away!
That the fair ones whom we love
Grow to each loving breast,
Like the tendrils Of the clinging vine,
Then perish where they rest.
And can we but think of these,
To soft and gentle Spring,
When the trees are waving o'er us,
And the flowers are blossoming!
For we know that winters coming
With his cold and stormy sky
And the glorious beauty round US
Is blooming but to die!

The Pittsburgh Herald tells the following
anecd1te of the Rev. DIR. Plumer:
During visit to the Hot Springs, on a GER
tain occasion, he was invited by the company
gathered there 20 preach for them on the Sab
bath. He consented The ball room of the
hotel was prepared for religious worship, and
the audience assembled. The speaker announ-
ced his text, and began his discourse; but was
mortified to find that by some of the younger
and more frivolous of his hearers of both sexes,
the whole performance was looked upon as a
good joke, and TO be treated accordingly. Some
were smiling, some were whispering, and uu-
seemly levity prevailed throughout the congre-
CATION. For a few minutes he endeavored to
withstand it by simple presentation Of the
text, but to no purpose. Stopping short in his
Idiscourse, he at once arrested their attention
by the question, my friends, do you know how
these Hot Springs are said to have been dis
I covered? will tell you. Many Years since, an
s old Dutchman and his son were passing along
down the valley, where the road now runs thai
you see out there pointing to it through the
window-"when, observing the spring, they
. stopped their team to water the horses. Tht
old man took up the bucket, went to the spring
/ and dipped it i'm, when some of the water dashet
upon his hand and scalded him. Instantly drop
ping his bucket, he started for the wagon, run
ming and calling to his son, in the greatest con
sternation: "Trve on, Hans, trive on; He'll is
not far from dish place!" ~ this, his audienc
! burst out laughing when, immediately assu
: ming look of deepest solemnity, and droppin
3 his voice to the low tones that in him are lik
nuttered thlnders, he made the application: .
: tell you, my friends, that He'll is not far frol
: this place. There were no more smiles
E that congregation that day. Some who hear
it, said it seemed to them as ii the terrofs of th
# day Of Judgment had come.
