TIE BEGINNING OF THE WoKI.D.-The follow
ing extract from sermon of Mr.. Spurgeon, the
pious English preacher. is a specimen of the elo-
quence which within a year or two has made
his name familiar in both hemispheres:
''Can any man tell me when the beginning
was? Years ago We thought the beginning OF
this world was when Adam came upon it; but
we have discovered that thousands of years
before that God was forming chaotic matter to
make il fit abode for man, aud putting races
of creatures upon it, that they might die and
leave traces of his bandiwork and marvellous
SKILL before he tried his hand on man. But
this was not the beginning. for revelation points
us to period long ere this world was fashioned
to the days when the mornng stars were be-
gotten when, like drops of dew from the fin-
gers. the morning stars and consultations fell
trcking from the hands of God; when, with his
own lips. he launched forth ponderous orbs
when, with his own hand, he sent comets, like
thunderbolts, wandering through the sky to find
one day their proper sphere We go back to
those days. when worlds were made and systems
were fashioned and we have not even approach
ed the beginning yet.
Until we go back to the time when all the
universe slept in the mind of God. as yet un-
born, until we enter the eternity where God the
Creator dwells alone, everything sleeping with
in him, all creation sleeping in his mighty, gi-
gantic thought, we have not guessed the begin
ming. We may 90 back, back, back. ages upon
ages. We may go back, if we use such words
whole eternites, and yet never arrive at the
beginning. Our wing might be tired, our i'm
agination might die away. Could it outstrip
the lIghtning's flashes in majesty, power and
rapidity, it would soon weary itself ere it could
reach the beginning. But God, from the be-
ginning. chose his people when the unnaviga-
BILE ether was yet unfumed by the wing of
sing angel. when space was shorelesa or else
unborn; when universal silence reigned, and
not a voice or whisper shocked the solemnity
Of silence when there was no being. no emotiOi,
and uOught but God himself alone in his eter-
nifty; when, without the attendance of even
cherubim. long ere the living creatures were
born. or the wheels Of the chariot of Jehovah
were fashioned even then. lin the beginning
was the word, and in the beginning Gods peo-
pie were one in the world. and lin the beginning
he chose them all unto eternal life"

in the house, AMI on going in saw the men in
the act Of spelling each others countenances;
no one else being present They were mmedi-

IMPRovEMENT.-Tbe enterprising denizens of
Commercial street, not wishing to be behind
their Main street neighbors. have commenced
re-planking that tborOughfare. This is an i'm
provement that has long been needed. The
miserable condition in which that street has
been for year past, has been the cause of
more profane language and harsh epithets, than
any one thing, with the exception of our city
government.

THE INDIAN MUTNY.-Thc London News
touchingly brings a fearful phase Of the Indian
mutiny before the reader. Says the News: at
is understood on unquestionable authority, that
there are several ladies now in Calcutta who
have undergone such unspeakable degradation
that they obstinately refuse to give their names,
preferrng that their relations in England
should suppose them dead And on these
words. the News founds an earnest entreaty to
the sufferers to come home. 1t says, that it
would change the word 'degredation" into
outrage" for it is not in the power OF man or
devil to degrade the innocent. "When we tell
them" says the News, 'that there is no one
here who does not regard them with cordial
respect-with a reverence which almost absorbs
compassion. when we tell them that, all un-
known as they are we pass sleepless nights on
their account; that tears fall and prayers 90 up
for them throu. III the silent night--surely they
will not refuse to come home" Can there be
a more awful phase Of war. than this which rem
ders such an appeal necessary?

The Closing Business Of Congress-.

The correspondent Of the Sun, says:
Congress, after being warned by the Presi-
dent of the necessity of aiforGiing him time to
consider the appropriation bills, made an effort
to close up the business in such Mariner as to
avoid the necessity of prolonging the session
One obstacle to adjournment was the uncertain
ty as TO the snfficiency of the means of the
treasury 70 meet the appropriations which
were to be made and this has been removed
by the passage Of bill authorizing a loan OF
twenty millions. All the appropriation bills
were passed with the exception of the bill maxi
ing appropriations for the postofiCc, including
land transportation, etc. The two Houses
disagreed upon the question Of the abolition OF
the ranking privilege of Congress. The Sem
ate proposed &C. and the House rejected. The
Committee of Conference were unable to agree,
and the bill has failed. Both Houses are to
meet 10 O'Clock on Monday, l14th), and it re-
mains to be seen which of the two will receie
from It's position on the subject. The frank
ing privilege is great burden upon the postal
system, which cannot be made self-sustainins
| while that privilege Is enjoyed and abused. II
is stated that il increases the expense of the
mail transportation Ia the amount of millions
The Scnatc has agreed to increase the rates Of
letter postage, anti it IS admitted that this me
sure Is rendered necessary only by the continu-
ance Ut the franking privilege. -
| The Senate, on Monday, receied from il.
amendments for Increasing the rates of postage
abolishing the Thanking privilege. ETC.. to which
the House had refused to agree and thus the
bill was enacted into law.
