fast. The morning was becoming clearer every moment. The troops began to move as il about to leave the ground. The gui'lotine 1 was lowered and taken off the ground the crowds gradually thinned some few groups still fingered about the spot but the cold was bitter, and the snow began to fall, and in a flew hours the place was deserted. The number of deaths from the attempt for which these wrctched men suffered now amounts, lam assured, to fourteen.
 The following is the testimony of another witness, evidently deep sympathzer with the victims and their cause. It is quoted in letter to the Man- chester Guardian.
 "When the dead, dull sound of the falling of the knife upon Orsin was heard, it was re- sponded to by an immense but smothered re- ply of Taca la Repubhque' I cannot pro perly describe this it was like gigantic nut ter it was not cry or shout, but it sound cd like the breath or the sigh of thousands of human lungs. It was we'll appreciated by the authorities for, on the instant, the soldiers raised the most disorder!y chatter imaginable {; struck their horses so as to make tliem plunge and kick, shook their arms, and contrived that the popular whisper should be stihed without being literally put down. But the words Firo l@ Repabhque,' must have been clearly audible to every one.
 II purposey went home on foot, threading my way slowly through the groups wherever found them thickest. l am bound to admit that everywhere heard expressions of sympa- thy and admiration for Orsini, whose crime seems utterly forgotten, W hile only the effect produced by his courage and generosity to- wards his associates remains Ferris name did not hear once The attitude of the popu- lace was, l should say, extremely menacng, for it has the marks of hate and thirst for vengeance seated too deep for words All the remarks heard were made in an under tone, as though police spy were dreaded at every instant"

Be Watchful.

Nothing in this world is dumb, OrSilent, if we do but come The very inmost truth ancar, And listen with awakened ear. Nothing is inconseqrent, If the eye is really bent The deeper mysteries to read, Of Natures universal creed. Wisdom may we often learn From smallest things-a waving fern, Growing in a shady place May be minister of grace Itanies the harcbells be Wind-fowers blooming wild and free, May serious lesson teach Sermons may the daisies preach. Under cloistcred arches green, With the wind to chant between; And the violets low and dim Have the sweetness of hymn. There is not place so bare, But some beauty fingers there Not a spot so low and cold. But has its dwcfcrs manifold. Everywhere the heart awake, Finds the pleasure it can make Everywhere the light and shade By the gazer's eye is made. In ourselves the sunshine dwells, From ourselves the music swclls; By ourselves oal life is fed With sweet CT bitter daily bread.

ed with great piles of meat and bread, and should stop them to say !" I am almost dead with hunger, l have been invited here to take something to eat, but before 1 go down l should like to know the precise process by which flour is converted into bread ; just as have heard many poor sinners under convic- ton come to me to want me to explain to them the doctrines of Justification, sovereigis- when they were dying to go te Jesus Christ and be blessed with his love. So this man stops the baker to ask him how bread is made, but the butcher and baker step in with their loads.
 He listens again to the cheerful music of the rattling dishes, and there is no such music to hungry mans ear, and he says, II can't go in yet; am not satisfied as to the way these things are made" So he walks away, but hunger gives him another turn, and back he goes aud looks in again, and says, If it wasn't for -, if it wasn't for - j" then he looks up the street to see if anybody is look. ing at him, and says, "I I will just go down the step." He steps down, and the attraction is so great that he goes in nobody seems to know him, nobody seems surprised ; he reach es out his hand and takes hold of a dry crust. and the tears come into his eyes as he puts it into his mouth. Oh, how sweet it is With that he sits right down and makes feast, and as he rises up again, he says to himself, "Oh, what fool was, that did not come right down at oncc." Aren't there just such fools in this congregation? You go up and down, back and forth, before Chrst's table, when there is bread that will cause that hunger to cease for ever and water drawn from the riv- CT that comes from before Gods throne and yet you have gone back, thinking what your wife would say, what your father would say, what your partner would say, what your gay companions would say. But you feel the guawings of hunger, and, as you look at the spread table, you say, "Oh, how we want to feed, but we daren't come and take the food" Oh it is shamc pride and friends, that keep you thus back. Oh, if there was only hunger enough to bring yeu to the right point, and having once tasted, you would rise up from that feast, with the blessed assurance that yet once again you should sit down at still mo- bier table, at the marriage supper of the Lamb.

Nearer Home.

Ono swee'ly solemn thought
 Comes to me OCT and o'er- I'm nearer my home to-day
 Than I've ever been before Nearer my Fathers house,
 Where the many mansionssha; Nearer the great white throne
 Nearer the jasper sea Nearer that bound of life
 Where We lay our burdens down: Nearer leaving my cross;
 Nearer wearing my crown.

Church in the Wilderness.

It was but five miles from the log cabin to the village just springing into life ou the beau- tiful Lake of N. F. The appointed place was a small, upholstered school-house with wooden benches, in which were assembled small company of spectators and twelve per sons, who were this day to form themselves into church and to celebrate the grand event of a worlds redemption in the simple memorials of the table of the Lord On this lovely prairie, but lately imprinted with the footsteps of the red man and wild beast, here in this little room are to be laid this day the foundations of g church of the living God, aud these twelve set apart as his people.
 Here is to be the house of many a weary pilgrim who shall come from the east, and the vest from the north and the south and here, the birthplace of many |" son and daughter of the Lord Almighty"
 Here, too, the place where the Holy Spirit shall descend to visit His people, and bring in all who are willing ill the day of His power"
 Tue services are commenced the prayer of constcration offered, and the articles of our precious faith one by one accepted. s Then follows the covenant-between the Eternal, Immortal, and Invisible, and finite, ! sinful men and what of all earth's pageants can compare in grandeur and sublimty to this ..-
 The eternal and the mortal, the pure and holy with the sinful and condemned, coming together by mutual bonds, for all time all eternity l
 No wonder that the voice of the pastor trembled is he proceeded in the solemn utter ance, and the uuimpassioned tones were scarce ly audible, while the divine glory seemed 6ll- ing the little room Here, too, we bring the baptislnal font lovely babe receives upon it's forehead the seal of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
 And now the napkin is lifted, and on the pine board, and in vessels of earthern.ware, we behold the emblcms of redeeming love and in our crowded, cushioned, eastern tenn l.les, do we remember more tender, absorb ng and grateful exhibition What soft and silent brcathipgs fill the atmosphere of this lit- tie Bethel. God speaks with man and man with God '!
 More than half century have we sat in our cherished churches at home, but it was worth leaving them, for the rough wilderness. with such day as this, for such an honor as to be permitted to assist in laying the corner stone of this invisible temple which shall stand upon the shore of this mighty river when the beautiful structures now rising around us, shall be in ruins. And all along the banks of the Missippi are witnessed scenes like this, and at every point the steamer reaches, the church of God is planting the seed 1; and from Wiscon- sin te Minnesota, shall'be waited the music of Sabbath bells, across the peaceful rivers and hill to hill shall echo over the luxriant valleys, songs of praise to redeeming love. Let the men of the world come hther and take out the precious ore from our mines of wealth, or find it in the teeming soil, we will welcome them with the sabbath, the preached word, and the Bible-N. r.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

HoLLowAY's PlLLs.-Thcrc is a disease which has
no name, yet cxcecdin ely common. 1t consists in
a relaxation of the whole vital system The appc-
titc is poor, the spirits Tow, the body feeble, the
nerves unstrung the eyes lustrccss, the cheek wan
and pale, the whole physique in state of prostra-
tion. The sufferer, thodgh perhaps in the IN cdan
of life, IL .ecblc almost to decrepitude. TO rouse
the system from this syncope, there IS no medicine
comparable to Holloway's Pills. They recruit the
appetite, the spirits, the strength, the nerves. In
ine they rojuvenate, to speak, the entire corpo
real system and as a natural consequences, impr 've

IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON
Important and startling DcvcI
OpmcntS.
correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette.l

Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Gazette.J
WASHINGTON, April 21.
The developments in the Conference
Yesterday, produced startling impress
sion here, and fully justified all the suspic
ions, which English's course of vacillation
and triekery had previously occasioned.
At the previous meetings, he not only gave
no indication of the purpose which was
developed, but sought by professions and
preteXts, to convey totally different I'M
preston. And SO late as Tuesday night,
he called upon Mr. Howard, TO submit his
pretended proposition, embodylng sub
mission of Leeompton to the people, with
a clause, that in the event of a rejection,
| its admission should be delayed for popu-
lation emitting it TO one member underline
Federal apportionment.
With these antecedent circumstances,
and others which may be developed here
after, the public may judge of the sur
prise which was excited when he appeared
lbefore the Committee yesterday morning,
and produced an elaborate bill, which had
levidently been prepared for him-for he
Icame in an hour after the appointed time OF
Imeetng--pr proposing not to submit the Con-
lstitut,on, but the LqnR Ordinance, to the
people, and making its acceptance the ba-
; sis upon which the President should pro-
Iclaim Kansas State of the Union under
the Lecompton Constitution.
This is the bribe held out for specula-
ltors. adventurers, and trading politicians
while on the other,a threat equally potent
lis made to play an important part And
lthat is, if the bribe be spurned, Kansas
Ishallnot be admitted until entitled to q
member of Congress under the apportion-
meht. a s.. s-lt s
Therefore the bill proposes, virtually, t'
Ioffer a. premium to Slavery, besides tha
contained in the land grab, by authorizing
3 admission now with population Of 40,
: 900, while it enforces penalty OF exclu
sion against freedom, by requiring pop
uIation Of 40, 900, while it enforces pen
atty of exclusion against freedom; by re
curing a population of at least $4,000
: And who does not see, with the poWe
] vested in the Marshal and his Deputies
. that the census returns, might be mani
puated like the election returns, to defusu'
; Kansas of her rights, and throw her owe
: until the now federal basis shall be estab
e llished, which will probrbiy be 10000

Adyces fl ON Vera Cruz of the 7th, from
the llily of Mexico Of the 9th, and from
Tampico of the ist inst, have beenlre-
ceivcds all Of which, though h somewhat
confused, agree in representing the con-
dition of public and private affairs as
gloomy in the extreme.
A war of castes is raging in the State
of Sonora, in whichsitais feared that the
Indians will prove triumphant unless sue
cor speedily arrives from the national cap
ital, which has enough to do in providing
for its own discussions. The liabilities OF
the republic now amount to $ 26, 600, 900,
exclusive of the floating debt and unac-
knowledged claims. In Yucatan, the In
dians, in addition to other depredations,
have sacked three towns and slaughtered
nearly all their inhabitants. A few months
since, they murdered -four hundred per-
sons in one village. fas a
Political dissensions have not abated in
either number or rancor. The Zuloaga
Government has issued a decree abolishing
all State and Territorial Legislatures, and
centralizing the administrative power u
the general government. In view Of al
these evils, demanding, but not obtaining
! Immediate redress. we are not, surprised
that a large and respectable party in North
ern Mexico desire annexation to the Unitet
States. So strongly has this feeling beer
exhibited. that the State Legislatures 9
Sonora and Chihuahua, have deemed
necessary toprotest against any division
the national soil. 1t is stated, however
that these protests do not embody tn
wishes of the majority, at least of tn
weather. portion of the community.
