THE TWO GIANTS OF THE TIME.

What can we two great forces do ?"
Said steam to Electricity,
ITO better the case of the human race,
And promote mankind's felicity ?
Electricity said," From far lands sped,
Through a wire, with a thoughts velocity,
When tidings bear l-of deeds that we're
Never passed yet for atrocity."
''Both land and sea-" said Steam, "by me,
AT the rate of a bird men fly over;
But the quicker they speed to kill and bleed,
A thought to lament and sigh over"
"The world, you see," Electricity
Remarked, thus far is our debtor,
That it faster goes but, goodness knows,
1t doesn't get on much better"
"Well, WELL" said Steam, with whistle and
scream,
"Hcrein we help morality,
That means we make to overtake,
Rebellion and rascality,
"Sure enough, that's true, and 80 we do"
Electricity responded,
,,Thro'us have been caught, and to justice
brought,
Many scoundrels who had absconded.
Said Steam, II hope we shall get the rope
Round the necks of the sepoy savages,
In double quick time, to avenge their crime,
And arrest their murders and ravages,"
"We've been overpraised, said both eve raise(
To sanguine expectations;
But with all our might, we haven't yet quito
Regenerated the nations.
"We'Ie afraid we shan't-we suspect we can't
Cause people to change their courses;
Locomotive powers alone are ours;
But the world wants motive ~forces."

THE Missouri PREsBYTERIEs ON SLAvERY.-The
New School Presbyterian Synod Of Missouri. con-
sisting of four Presbyteries, SO ministers and 81
churches, at its annual session in St. Louis, last
week, was chiefly occupied with the discussion of
its relations to the General Assembly. in view of
the action of that body in Cleveland last May on
the question of Slavery. The committee which
had the matter under consideration being unable
to agree, two reports we're presented to the Synod
The majority consisted of the following resolu-
tons:
Resolved, That this Synod does withdraw from
the Assembly, and will not send up its records.
Resolved, That we cannot go with the Rich
mond Convention, but will remain an Independent
Synod until the providence of God shall seem tC
make clear our way of duty.
The minority report recommended adherence tc
the Assembly.
The first resolution was adopted by a majority
Of II to 10, and the second unanimously.

RESULT OF LAND SPONTANEOUSLY is n fair sub
ject of inquiry, at present, what will be the result
of the immense land speculations INDUCED in last
spring against which we were careful to warn the
people at the time. Many a town lot and quarter
section of land bought at fabulous prices is now
among the unavailable assets of many a broken
business man, and must be thrown into the market
and sacrif ,ed at a mere song. for money is now
so scarce. and credit so completely exploded that
depreciation is the general fate of everything
The Philadelphia North American takes this view
of it:
1.-The people of the West, we have no doubt, will
generally regard this q lucky thing. Had it not
been for the universal bankruptcy. these lands
might have lain idle for years to come, like the great
tracts in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. so long held
in a similar condition. AT the present time it is
impossible for any of these spectators to avoid a
sale. and this, so far from being a matter of re
greet, is fortunate both for the West and the emf
grating East. Next spring and summer, then, We
may look for such a migration to the new territor
les and States on our Western borders, as has no
been witnessed for many n year.
The failures, bankruptcies, stagnation of bust
ness and general distress here in the old State,
will stimulate anew that restless desire to 60 to tn,
West, which is always rife enough among the mid
die and lower classes of Americans. Next spring
the borders will be alive with emigrants.

DEATH.

1t may be strange thought to put in
words but it seems to us that death should
be made beautiful.
Perhaps no man has done more to rem
der it so than Bryant. His ''ThanatopsIs
lets the sunshine through upon that sleep
inc place we learn to dread; he adjusts
around it with poets hand the drapery
of Nature and makes it grand and beau
tiful to die; to lie with the seeds of flow
ers that will awake little earlier than
we; to sleep within the scope and prov
ince of the Spring and feel as the dying
singer said, s.the Daisies growing over US Z
to lapse as gently into Natures bosom as
if a rose should shut and be bud again.
We have often thought that though a
man may live and labor in the mart, the
country is the place to die. We do not
know that it is nearer Heaven thence,
but surely it must be more pleasant set
TING forth. Were we to make some BIRDS
small jubilee, we should takes.lt to the
country in the month of June and set
wide the wicker door in some bright
morning, when the clear, blue air is full
of song and fragrance and the fiutter OF
green leaves. So would the poor bird
spring the freer to his native Heaven
the sooner would it sing. as n
There if anywhere does death turn
