SimnIicifY OF Faith.

All are born with faith. Faith is
as natural to man as grief, or love, or
anger; one of the earliest flowers that
spring up in the soul; it smiles on mother
from her infants cradle; and living on
through the rudest storms Of life, it never
dies till the hour of death. On the face
Of child which has been left for a little

One by one, in the lapse Of years, there come
back to US in real facts the mythical legends of
oldei times which prove the truth of local his
tory and in these mysteries coming down to
u.s. from the lips Of grandsires to lisping children
Buckingham Valley has occupied a foremost
place. It was well known to our fathers in
Revolutionary days, that the far famed and
fearless refugee Doans had their chosen secret
haunts and hiding places, where they myster-
iously retired when holly pursued by their foes;
and on Saturday last two of the sons of Joseph
Fell discovered large cave in the limestone
quarry of DR. Charles Mathews on the farm
formerly belonging to Hugh B. Ely, at the foot
of the mountain-one ofthose celebrated secret
caves-running imwardly about thirty feet. All
doubt concerning its early use and purpose is
removed by the following inscription hand

One day during the recent sleighing, Mr..
Eber Hart, of Brighton harnessed a pair of
spirited young horses to a sleigh; partially
loaded for the city. The horses took fright
while standing without driver, and ran away
A large mastiff owned by Mr. Hart saw the
horses start and gave chase, pursuing for half
a mile before he overlook the runaways. He
passed them, and by presenting himself in the
track in front of them endeavored to check their
speed, but to no purpose they actually ran
faster for the barking ofthe dog. Failing il
this, the dog dropped out of the track, and
following behind he seized thereins and drawing
them upon the ground, did not relax his hold
until the team stopped After he had been
drawn for some distance, his pull became greater
upon one line than upon the other, which drew
the horses toward fence, where they stopped

silvery moonlight, it looks well enough perhaps,
with it's story-and half dwellings, set upon
blocks, but twould lily compare with an east
ern town; here are no lofty brick buildings with
their stately fronts, here are no pavements for
the accumulation of the passer-by; and on such
night as this I do like to hear the ring OF a
high heeled boot on well paved walk.
Here in this little town are people from al
most every state in our union. The warm
hearted Jerseyman grasps the proffered hand OF
the noble Kentuckian, the bold Texan walks ia
miliarly with Pennsylvania honest browed son
and the North and South have sent their many
to help till the rich soil of Illinois. Somehow as
I will, a sadness comes over me and I think of
the little state of New Jersey, and the friends [
have left behind; and wonder if the moonlight
rests as calmly on the Delaware as of old |
wonder if her rays sleep as quietly on the hill !;
for here is no broad river with its sparkling
water here are no hills to cast their shadows,
only vast ocean of rolling prairie. And think
too of one who with me babe farewell to her
native state; but whatever change may come to
me, she may nevermore stand upon it's soil again;
on yonder mound where the people Of this little
town lay their dead, she rests in peace, and to
night the prairie fires which she used to watch
with such wonder, burn brightly around her bed,
but she heeds them not Twas on such night
as this she died, the wind moaned just the same,
God bless the kind stranger friends who watched
with us that sad night God bless the warm
hearted daughter of Kentucky, who so kindly
befriended me in the hour of my great need );
God bless the dear girl who stood by my dying
sister to watch her latest breath. Oftimes in
my dreams, a0aking or sleeping, see again that
fair young girl with the dark curls, bending over
the dear form of my only sister so soon to be
carried to the grave; clasping the dear hand
growing SO icy cold; brushing back the bands
of rich brown hair so soon to be hidden by the
cofin-lid. They tell me that when the "sum-
mer- time spreads her beauties over the earth,
that this is a fair country but if live to see
the flowers bloom on the prairie, will see them
blooming ON the grave of the dear one who came
hither with me SO full of life and hope; and when
the moonbeams rest on the earth's broad bosom
I will remember that they fall as softly on, the
grave of my Mother in New Jersey, as on the
lowly resting place of the dear one who sleeps
on the Illinois Prairie.

The Scientific artisan says, upon the sub
iect of sleep: The earth is a magnet, with
magnetic currents continually playing around it.
The human body is also magnet, and when the
body is placed in a certain position or relation
to the earth these currents harmonize; when in
any other position they conflict, and injury to
the body ensues. When one position therefore
is to be maintained for some time such position
should be chosen in which the magnetic currents
of the earth and body will not conflict. This
position, as indicated by theory and known by
experiment, is to lie with the head towards the
north pole. Persons who sleep with their heads
in the opposite direction, OF lie crosswise, are
liable to fall into disorders; but ifthey go back
to the right position these disorders if not too
deeply impressed upon the constitution VIII
soon vanish. Sensitive persons are always more
refreshed by sleeping with their heads to tne
north"

The revolution was over. The eight years.
conflict had ceased and the warriors were now
to separate forever, turning their weapons into
plough shares, and their camps into workshops.
The spectacle, though sublime and glorious
one, was yet attended with sorrowful feelings;
for, alas in the remains of that gallant army of
patriot soldiers, now about to disband without
pay, without support stalked poverty, want and
disease. The country had not the means to be
grateful.
The details of the condition of many of the
officers and soldiers at that period, according
to history and oral tradition, were melancholy
in the extreme Possessing no means or patri-
monial inheritance to fall back upon-thrown
out of even the perilous support of the soldiers
at the commencement of winter, and hardly fit
for any other duty than that Of the camp-their
situation can be as well imagined as describ-

tion of many of the officers, as related OF the
conduct Of Baron Steuben, may not be amlss
When the main body of the army was disbanded
at Newburgh, and the veteran soldiers were
bidding parting farewell to each other, Lieut..

Psalms of David.

The annexed eloquent extract is froma lecturs
by Henry Giles:
Great has been their power in the world =
They resound amidst the courts ofthe tabernacle
they foated through the lofty and solemn space
Of the temple. They were sung with glory in the
Halls of Sion; they were sung with sorrow by
the streams of Babel And when Israel had
passed away, the harp of David was still awakened
in the Church of Christ In all the eras and ages
Of that Church from the hymn which it first
whispered in an upper chamber until its anthems
filled the earth, the inspiration of the royal pro-
phet has enraptured its devotions and ennobIes
it's rituals Chorused by the winds of heaven,
they have swelled throughout Gods own temples
of the sky and stars they have rolled over the
broad desert of Asia, in the mathis and yespers
of ten thousand hermits They have rung
through the deep valleys of the Alps, in the
sobbng voices of the forlorn Waldenses, through
the deeps and caves of the Scottish Covenanters
through the woods and wilds ofprimitive Ameri-
ca, in the heroic hallelujahs, of the early pill
grims"

BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT = When engineers
would bridge stream, they often carry over at
first but single thread With that, they next
stretch wire across Then strand is added to
strand, until foundations is laid for planks and
now the bold engineer finds safe footway and
walks from side to side, So God takes from US
some golden threaded pleasure, and stretches it
hence into heaven. Then he takes child and
then friend. Thus he bridges death; and teach

Now, good folks, listen to me,
q And will try and tell
About my little sewer IRE
Who doeth all things well.
IT'S not weary woman,
With dim and sunken eye,
Who does my daily sewing
With many broken sigh.
No poor, despairing widow
Who labors for her bread,
Nor broken hearted mother
Whose hopes are with the dead;
But a cheerful little sewer
Who labors all day long, -
With eyes undimmed by sorrow
And merry happy song.

Whichever way you please,

Chrst's Poverty.
By NETTIE.

How powerful He who made the earth,
Who formed the heavens on high,
Who gave each little star its birth,
That wrinkles in the sky,
The glorious sun, that gives us light,
And gladdens now our sin cursed land;
The moon that cheers as through the night
Speak their Makers powerful hand
Without an effort He can hold
This universe so great and grand
And by His powerful word control
The elements of sea- and land.
And truly Heis rich in power,
Who formed tn immortal soul of man,
And we, this Being must adore,
The creatures of His powerful hand.
When to the heavens we lift our eyes
And view the handiwork of God,
And then regard the earthly wise
Much wiser still we own the Lord.
This earth belongeth to the Lord
And every one therein that dwells tr
Yea cen belongeth to the Lord,
The cattle of a thousand hills.
Vain man may boast of something, which
He even designs to call his own,
But truly Christ the Lord is rich,
Who owneth heaven for His throne.
This worthy Lord, He once became
A little babe,-in nature weak J;
And for the sake of sinful man,
Did all the ills, of nature take.
He once was taught by mortal man,
Once mortal man did Him control,
He suffered poverty, and shame,
To save the never dying soul
His riches all aside were laid,
An humble walk through life He trod.
He had not where to lay His head,
The meek, and lowly Son of God
For us He left His throne ON high,
For our sakes He became poor;
For us He came on earth to die,
That we might live forevermore.
We through HIS poverty are rich,
And through His aceukmess we're made strong,
Then let US give the tribute, which I
Forever to His name belongs.

perpetual allegiance and maintains the right of
patriation and the right to form new political ties
elsewhere Upon this subject it is observed that,
I" in this age Of the world the idea of controlling
the citizen in thechoice Of home, and binding him
by mere political theory to inhabt for his lifetime
country which he constantly desires to leave, can
hardly be entertained by any government whatever.
The position of the United States, communicated
to the minister at Berlin for the information of the
Prussian government is, that nativeborn Prussians,
naturalizcd in the United States and returning to
the country of their birth, not liable to any du-
ties or penalties except such as were existing at
the period of their emf grafton. If at that time
they were in the army, actually called into it,
such emigration and naturalization do not exempt
them from the legal penalty which they incurred by
their descrtion; but this penalty may be enforced
against them whenever they shall voluntarily place
themselves within the local jurisdiction of thier ma
tive country and shall be proceeded against accord
ing to law. But when no present liabilities exist
against them, at the period of their emigration, the
law of nations, in the opinion of this Government,
gives no right to any country to interfere with ma
turalized American citizens, and the attempt to do
so would be considered an act unjust in itself and
unfricndly towards the United States. This ques
ton cannot, of course arise in the case of natur
allied citizen who remains in the United States. 1t
is only when he voluntarily returns to his native
country that its local laws can be enforced against
him.
