THE RIVER JORDAN.

A correspondent of the Utica Herald gives
this description of the River Jordan:
GA line of green, low forest betrayed the
course of the sacred river through the plain.
So deep in its channel, and SO thick is the forest
thar skirts its banks, that rode within twenty
wards of it before caught the FIRST gleam Of
its waters. was agreeably disappointed, l
had heard the Jordan described as an insipd,
muddy, treacherous stream. Whether II was
the contrast with the dcsolation around, or my
own fancy that made its green banks SO beau
tiful, | know not, but it did seem in that mo-
ment of its first revelation to my longing eyes,
the perfection of calm and holy lovelIness. 1t
is hardly as wide as the Mohawk at Utica, but
far more rapid and iwpassioned in its flow. ln-
deed. of all .hc rivers | have ever seen the
Jordan has the fercest current. Its waters Is
by no means clear, but it as little deserves the
name muddy. At the place where | hrst saw
il traditions assigns the baptism OF our Saviour,
and also the miraculous crossing of the children
Of Israel on their entrance into the promised
land. Like true pilgrim bathed in its wa
ters. and picked a few pebbles from Its banks
40 toksps Of remembrance of the most familiar
river in the world. Three miles below the
spot where now staud, the noble r.ver--hseif
the yery emblem of life--suddenly throws IT
self on the pntrid bosom OF the Dead Sea.

The following IL extract from a sermon
Of Spnrgcon, the English preacher, and is a
specimen of the eloquence which within year
OF two, has made his name "a miliar in both hem
spheres.
sst9sn any man tell me when the beginning
vast Years ago, we thought the beginniog of
this e I'D was when Adam Game upon ii. but
fore that God was forming chaotic matter TO
make it fit abode for man, aud putting race
Of creatures upon il, that they might die and
leave traces OF his handiwork and marvellous
skill, before he tried his baud on man. But
this was not the tegiuning, for revelation
points US TO period long ere tins world was
fashioned, to the days sden the morning star 5
were begotten when, like drops OF dew from
the fingers of morning, stars aud constella-
tions fell thickly from the hand OF God; when,
by bis o8n lips, he launched forth ponderous
urbs; when, with his own band, he seut comets,
like ibuuderbolts, wandering through the SKY,
TO ind one day their proper sphere. We go
back to those days when worlds were made aud
systems were fashioned, aud We have Dot ap-
preached the beginning yet.
"Until we 90 back 10 the time when all the
universe slept 10 the mind of God, as yet un-

the Creator, dwells aloLe, everything sleeping
in his mighty gigantic thought, We have not

Could it outstrip the lighiuing's flashes, In una

God, from the beginning, chose his people, when
unnavigated ether was yet Unframed by the
wing of single angel, when space was shore
less, or else unborn, when universal silence

the solemnity of silence, when there was no be-
iug, no motion, naught but God himself alone
in his eternity; when, without the song of an
angel, without the attendance of even cheru-
bin, long ere the living creatures were born, OF

A Girl Restorsdi 10 Life after being FOrty-eight
Hours an Icy Corpse.
A young girl Of II or Is years of age in
Nuneaton, England, named Amelia Kinks, was
supposed to have died, and for more than forty
eight hours the imagined corpse lay beneath
the winding sheet, when it happened that her
grandfather, very aged man, accompanied by
a female relation, went to see the corpse. The
old man removed one Of the coppor coins, aud
although the eye remained closed, he fancied
he saw movement beneath the lid.
The woman with him at first ridicuied the
idea but on looking more closely she too Oh
aerved movement. The medical attendant
vas then apprised Of the circumstance; and al
though he at Grst treated it as a delusion, the
application of an instrument to tho region of
she heart soon convinced him that there was
life within the apparent corpse. The body WAS
then removed to warmer room, and the ex-
lstcnce Of life soon became apparent. BY de-
grces animation was restored, loud sneezc

Flowing heavy soils 10 open Winter weather
will usually improve them BY turning up the
bard pan to the sticking influence of frost, be-
sides killing burrowing insects and roots of
pestiferous perennial plants.
Poultry Keep 10 warm quarters, feeding
we'll while the ground is frozen or covered with
snow. Cellars under barns or other buildings,
or an excavation made in the side of Hill With
roof over it affords good shelter dnring Win
ter. Give meat, also pounded oyster shells, or
lime, TO keep up the supply of eggs Boiled
potatoes and buckwheat cakes, alternating with
grain and good food.
Roads-Keep them open to public Il avel even
If snow storms are frequent. 1t shows lack
of public spirit to see community obliged to
leave the highway blocked up by snow drifts
until thawed out in the Spring.
Salt-All farm stock should have salt once q
week at least. Salt hay will answer the same
purpose.
Sheep-Provide suitable shelter seperate
from other stock. Give few cut roots each
day.
Teols-Many Of those wanted another season
may be made or repaired during the stormy days
of this month.
Vermia, such as rats and mice are unpro6ta-
oie animals. Keep only small stock about
the premises. Terriers, ferrots, cats, traps,
strychnine, and arsenic are the proper antidotes
A small bounty on their tails viii usuolly set
the children astir, and rats too.
Wocd--Cutap draw from the sWamps while
hey are frozen and the Shedding or cartins
good Have full years supply, no. only at
The door, but cut, split and piled away under
cover if possible, before the Spring work COM
mences upon the farm. Remember the annoy
| ance of having men called from the hay field
to get cven-wood, or the breakfast delayed on
account Of only green stuff for fuel.

The MOrtara Case---Another letter
from Mr. GaSS,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20, Is,

WASHINGTON, NOV. ~, 1898.
Sir: You are doubtless familiar with the
circumstances attendant upon the recent ae-
duction of Jewish child named Mortara, from
his parents house, details of which are now
being discussed 10 the influential presses OF
this aud other countries. 1t is matter of some
importance to American lsrealites that this
Government should, in some Legitimate way,
unite with other civilized Powers 10 expressing
a Natioua! opinion upon the subject.
The United States Government can only las
| am fully aware) sympathise with the lsraelites
in their efforts taken TO insure the restoration
of this child from the involuntary and cruel
bondage imposed upon him; yet it is due to the
spirit of the Constitution, as we'll as to the
general principles of universal religious liberty
that this Government should, upon every proper
occasion, enunciate those doctrines which form
the only safeguard of free people.
NV co-relieiouists have always expressed such
feelings Of gratitude for the opinions and po-
sitious occupied by yourself touching similar
ouestious while member cf the Senate, aud IL
Is TO be expected that you will further add TO
their deep sense Of obligation by taking sucn
ground as prudential reason will dictate, agaihs'
the inhuuan doctrine of sinroluntary baptism
BY indirect agency, SO terribly ascendant I'D 'ne
recent abduction OF taIs Jewish CHILD.
Trusting that you will call this matter 10 'ne

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20, 1858.
Dear Sir: AS have already explained to
you, yeur. letter respecting the proceedings at
Boiogna In the case of the boy Mortara did
not come under my observation till had Of
fcially answered two other applications for The
same purpose. As one of my letters had then
been ppbiished, aud it was probable the other
would be without delay, there was no need to
repeat tue communications, especially as no
change had taken place iu the views of the
Government.
You do me but justice when you class me
among tue friends of religious liberty. and also
when sou refer to my course when questions
were under discussion there, touching the rights
Of our fellow citizens of the Hebrew faith. My
reasoG, rot less than my feelings, leads me TO
advocate unlimited freedom Of conscience.
Butin the application for the authoritative
ceDsurs by this Government of the proceedings
at Bologna, The true principles of national in-
Recommendation dictate caution and reserve,
and as We should resent any such interference
IN our own case, we ought equally to abstain
from i when other nations arc concerned
But as an individual, have no hesitation in
expressing my surprise and regret at tie de-
plorable occurance in the Papal States. 1t Is
difficult to conceive how such an act OF injustice
could take place in the middle of the 18th
century, and in the heart of Europe The
Judgment of the world will condemn it.

A kindlier soul should dwell,
For twas our blessed LoRD's request

And in His holy book we find
A blessing given to the kind.
