A letter from Knoxville, Tenn, dated June u,
says
Rev Mr.. Harrison, Pastor of the First Prcsby-
erian Church in this place attended the late meet
ing Of the Old School General Assembly in Phia-
delphia. Last Sunday, afGer the morning Sermon
he made a report to his congregation. He gave a
sad and awful picture of the enacted on the
floor Of the assembly, and of the spirit of hostility
that animates the people of Philadelphia against
the South. The proceedings were conducted with
out the soIemnty and gravity that heretofore
marked the meetings OF the venerable body herce
political feeling constantly vented itself, and the
church rented in twain amid tumult and dis
order, with expressions of contempt, sCOrn and
derison for the South it might almost be said,
with laughter and jesIing The violent north
western members we're in the ascendant, and rode
rough.shod over Dr. Hodge, Princeton, Philadel-
mia and the eastern brethren generally
He said he went one evening to a densey crowded
political meeting in the Academy of Music. The
first speaker advised the audience, if they met with
the Southern traitors, who. he understood, were
attending religious body then in session i'll that
city, to hang them to the first lamp post. During
the interval between the speeches, panorama OF
thc capture of Fort Sumter, with carlcatures OF
Southern soldiers drilling, was exhibited. Also
tile rope with which jeff. Davis is to be hing
Loud and enthusiastic cheers were frequent during
the evening.
Of the twenty four Southern members, nearly
all went to the assembly Union men; but, with
few exceptions, they returned home with ardent
feelings for the cause of the South, and deeply
impressed with the necessity of united action and
vigorous preparation to resist their rage and fury
against us.

anything to do, personally. with the
sovereigns of Europe. He was III the

at Hanover, and he soon discovered
what he was fit for. he began hum

on to the banker of Landgrave of

A French Story.

In 1859 a gentleman was passing
late at night over Point Neuf (Paris)
with lantern A man came up to
him and said
Read this paper
He held up his lantern and read as
following -
Speak not word when you we this read,
Or in an insant you'll be dead
Give upyour money, watch and rings,
With other valuable things
Then quick, in silence, you depart,
Or I, with knife, will c!eaye your heart =
Not being a man of much pluck,
the effrighted gentleman gave up his
watch and money, and ran off. He
soon gave the alarm, and the high
waymen was arrested.

inquired the magistrates before whom
the robber was arraigned.
That / am not guilty Of robbery,
thought | took the watch and money.
Why not guilty p asked the magis-
trate.
Simply because ! can neither read
nor write. picked up the note just
at the moment | met this gentleman
With a lantern. Thinking it might
be something valuab.e, / politely ask
ed him to read it for me. He CON-
piled with my request, and presently
handed me his watch and purse, and
ran of. | suppose the paper to be
of great value to him, and that be had
thus literally rewarded me for finding
it. He gave me no time to thank
him, which act of politeness / was
ready to perform
The gentleman accepted the Plea Of

Country Bar Rooms.

Irving says the only temple of true
liberty in this world is the bar-room
of country inn; an institution where
you may pull of your formality with
your boots, roll up your trousers with
your cares, and puff away all your
troubles with pipe without any fear
that a broom-stick will call your at
teption to the carpet, or darkroom
plexioned frowns remind you of the
injurious effects of tobacco juice on
the hearth. The parlor win do
we'll enough forthose who are brought
up under despotism but to man
who has ence fed on democracy, there
is no spot in the world where he can

fear of raising on insurrectioll, than
in the snug, cosy corner of country

How Tom was Caught.

One of our young friends sends the
following anecdote of Maryland la
dy and her negro servant. The lady
was unable to account for tie great
consumption of butter in the family,
and one day she followed new pur-
chase to the kitchen, in time to see the
cooks Tom deposit one of the rolls in
his hat, and put it on his head. With
out seeming to notice it, she sent the
cook, who was browning coffee over
the fire, on an errand, and desired Tom
to take her place. Not suspecting the
object, he readily complied. Presently
as he stirred, violent Precipitation
broke out on him.
Str away, Tom" said the lady,
!" or the coffee will burn
"Oh, missus," groaned Tom, " Use
so hot, / sweat so !"
Well, you do sweat that's q fact
but stir away"
The PRECIPITATION became too strong
for Toms control, and poured owes.
his face and eyes in streams Catch
ing smile on the Iady's face he drop
ped the spoon exclaiming, " Oh, mis-
sus, neher do 50 again" and made 8
dash for the door. Tom was fully
cured.

No Sabbath.

In o Prise Essay on the Sabbath
written by a journeyman printer, in
Scotland, there appears the following
striking passage:
Yoke-fellows I! think how the alb
straetion of the Sabbath would hope
lessly enslaye the working classes, with
whom we are identified ! Think of
the labor thus going on in one mon
otonous, and continual and eternal
cycle-limbs forever on the rack, the
fingers forever playing, the eyeballs
forever strainipg, the brow forever
throbbing, the shoulders forever droop-
ing the loins forever aching, and the
restless, mind forever scheming Think
of the beauty it would efface, of the
merry heartedness it would extinguish
of the strength it would tame, OF the
sickness it would breed, of the projects
it would wreck. of the groans it would
extort, of the lives it would immediate,
of the cherries graves it would pre-
maturely dig I, See them toiling and
moiling, sweating and fretting, grind
ing and hewing, weaving and spinning,
sowing and gathering, moving and
reaping, raising and building, Dig
ging and planting, unloading and
storing, striving and struggling
the garden and in the field, in the
granary and in the barn, and In the
factory, and in the mill, in the ware
house and in the shop, on the noun
tain and in the ditch, on the road
side and in the wood, in the city and
in the country, on the sea and on the
shore, on the earth in the days of
brightness and ofgloom What sad
picture would the world present if we
had no Sabbath !"

JOS. Holt, in letter to tie citizens
of Kentucky, speaks thus to the Star.
Spangled Banner
j Let US Irvine each thread of the
glorious tissue of our country's flag
about our heart serings, and looking
upon our homes, and catching the
spirit that breathes upon us from the
battle-felds, of our fathers, let US re-
solve that come veal or woe, we will
In life and in death, now and forever,
stand by the stars and stripes. They
have foated over orr cradles, let it
be our prayer and struggle that they
shall float over our graves. They
have been unfurled from the shores Of
Canada, to the plains OF New Orleans
and to the halls of the Montezumas
and amid the solitude Of every sea
and everywhere, as the luminous SYM
Dol of resistless and beneficient power,
they have led the brave and free to
victory and glory.
1t has been my fortune to look up
on this flag in foreign lands and amid
the gloom of an oriental despotism, and
right well do | know, by contrast, how
bright are its stars, and how sublime
are its Inspirations If this banner,
the emblem for us of all that is grand
in human history and of all that is
transporting in human hope, is to be
sacrificed on the affairs of Satanic
ambition, and thus disappear forever
amid the night and tempest Of revolu-
tion, t zen will | iceland who shall
estimate the desolation Of that feeling
that the sum has indeed been strick-
en- from the sky of our lives, and that
henceforth we shall be but wanderers
and outcasts, with nought but the
bread Of sorrow and penury from our
lips, and with hands ever outstretched
in feebleness and supplication, on
which, at any hosr, a military tyyant
may rivet the letters of a despairing
bondage. May God. in his infinite
mercy, save you and me, and the land
we so much love, from the doom, of
such degradation.
