THE GREAT MYsTERY.-The following beautiful
passage is taken from Timothy Titcombs, or Dr.
Hollands, preaching upon Popular Proverbs
which the Springfield (Mass) Republican is now
giving to the world:
''The body is to die; so much is certain. What
lies beyond? No one who passes the charmed
boundary comes back to tell. The imagination Wis
its the realm of shadows-sent out from some win
dow of the soul over es restless waters but wings
its way YEARLY back with an olive leaf in its beak
as token of emerging life beyond the closely bend
ing horizon. The great sun comes and goes in
heaven yet breathes secret of the ethereal will
derness; the crescent moon cleaves her nightly
passage the upper Deep but losses overheard
no message and displays no signals. The sentinel
stars challenge each other as they walk their night
ly rounds, but we catch syllable Of their coun-
tersign which gives passage to the heavenly camp.
Shut in! Shut in! Between this and the other
life is great gulf across which neither eye nor
foot can travel. The gentle friend, whose eyes we
closed in their last sleep long years ago. died with
rapture in her wonderstricken eyes, smile of in
efable joy upon her lips, and hands folded over a
triumphant heart; but her lips were past speech,
and ntimated nothing of the vision that inthralled
her."

A MOVEMENT AGAINST NEGROES IN CANADA-At
the Court of Assizes of Essex county, Upper Cana
da, the grand jury have made presentment to the
court, based upon a representation emanatng from
the authorities Of the township of Anderdon, in re-
gard to the negro population of the county The
grand jury submit the document that was presented
to them to the court and urge that some action be
taken in the matter. The Anderson authorities
say: 1--WE are aware that ninetenths of the crimes
committed in the county of Essex, according to the
population, are so committed by the coored people"
And they further urge "that some measures NAV
be taken BY the Government to protect us and our
property, or persons of capital will be driven from
the country" The court to this presentment re-
marked that he was not surprised at finding
prejudice existing against them he negroes, among
the respectable portion of the people, for they were
incident, shiftless, and dishonest and unworthy of
the sympathy that some mistaken parties extended
to them; they would not work when opportunity
was presented. but preferred subssting by theving
from respectable farmers and begging from those
6enevoently inclined" What commentary on
British sympathy with American abolitionists -
And what commentary also on the exertions of
American abolitionsts to improve the condition of
the negro, by inducing him to desert position in
which he is made useful to one society only to be-
come nuisance to another?
