Silence in Nature.


II il q remarkable und very instructive fact
that many Of the most important operations Of
nature arc carried on in unhroken silence. =
There is no rushing sound when the broad tide
of sunlight breaks on II dark world md Hoods
it with glory, M one bright wave after another
falls from the fountain. millions Of miles away.
There is no crcaking Of heavy axlcs or groail-
ing Of cumhrous machinery rs the solid earth

performs its revolutions. The great trees bring
forth their bouyhs nnd shadow lhe earth be.

buds, md the buds burst Into flowers; but the
whole transaction IL unhcnrd. Tho chang,
from snow and winter winds to the blossoms
md fruits and sunshine of summer, IL seen in
its slow development, but there Is scarcely n
sound to tell of tho mighty transformation
The solemn chnut of the ocean, rs IL ruiscs its
unchanged aud unccasing voice, the roar OF
the hurricane, and The soft notes Of the breeze,
The rushing Of the mountain river, and the
thunder Of the black-hrowcd storm; all this is
the music of nnture--a great and swelling all-
them of praise, breaking iu Oh tho universal
calm. There is u lesson for us here. Tho

Family Prayer.

The excuse is too often made that family
prayer cannot be maintained, Oh account of the
inability of The hcad of the household to lead
the devotion Of those who dwell beneath Ills
roof. Tho trutl, is, It's no excuse ut NIL; for
The service, however poorly or inadrquutcly
performed, is better than itsncglcct. Its effect
upon family can only bc estimated by those
who have tried IL, md know the good it accom-
plishes. Whilst IL Is of divine obligation, like
all other matters which nrc taught us in God 4
word, its results can be seen, md are 80 scnsi-
bic that we feel assured heavenly wisdom could
alone have devised IL. Indeed, religion is n-
tended TO accompany MS in all our social rcla-
tions. We behold II assuming its grandcst pro
portions its more stately appearance, when tho
great congregations nrc gathered together for
worship. Descending IL step, n lovely cxhibi-
ton Of its power is seen, when II company of
Christians, in socal worship, pour out their
hearts to God. and each receives from the other
n measure of the icryor which fills the soul OF
every true believer. AS the circle still mar
rows, the family altar gathers its little group
at morn and eve TO soAL their united suppllca-
tiens to the Most High, and the sweetness of
domestic happiness Is mingled in the cup OF
thanksgiving, or softcns the tear which tricklcr
down the cheek when sorrow has invaded Tho
sacred spot We love TO call our home. And
from that assembled family, each member ut
lasL rctircs to his own closet there to commune
in secret with his God, and to disclose to the
Omnisoicnt the burden Which weighs heavily,
the thoughts which distract, and tho unhoiy
temper which mars the character. The day is
only well begun when commenced with family
devotion. A soothing, tanqniizing influence
is poured upon every heart, and every man goes
forth from such service unto his labor until
evening, feeling that Gods blessing, thus
sought accompanies hin, aud that Gods favor
goes with him. EpjstolA Recorder.

Horrible Murders i'm France.

that travellers going 10 and fro between Or

can declare before God and my country that
no human being (with an exception scarcely
worthy Of notice) has at any period Of my life
dared to approach ME with corrupt or dis
honorable proposition; and, until recent devel-
opments it had never entered into my imagin-
alton that any person, even in the storm Of -ex-
asperated political excitement, would charge
me, in the most remote degree, with having
made such proposition to any human being.
may now, however, exclaim, in the language
ofcomplaint employed by my first and greatest
predecessor, that have been abused sin such
exaggerated andindecent terms as could scarce
y be applied to Nero, to notorious defaul-
ter, or even to a common pickpocket." E.-
do, therefore, for the reasons stated, and in
the name Of the people Of the several States,
solemnly protest against these proceedings Of
the House Of Representatives; because they
are in violation of the rights Of the coordinate
Executive branch Of the Government and sub
versive of its constitutional independence; be-
cause they are calculated to foster band Of
interested parasites and informers, ever ready,
Tor their own advantage, to swear before er
parte committees to pretended private conver-
sations between the President and themselves,
incapable, from their nature, of being dispro-
we'd; thus furnishing material for harassing him,
degrading him in the eyes Of the country, and
eventually, should he be weak or timil
man, rendering him subservient to improper
influences, in order to avoid such prosecutions
and annoyances; because they tend to destroy
that harmonious action for the common good,
which ought to be maintained and which sin
cerely desire to cherish, between CO ordinate
branches Of the Government; and finally, be-
cause, if unresisted, they would establish pre-
cedent dangerous and embarrassing to all my
successors, to whatever political party they
might be attached. JAMES BUCHANAN.

They all in their turn would yield under the
