HE CONSTITUTION OF hEPubLiC-nisroRi-
CAL In this paper IS printed an Ola document
the original OF when can DC FOUND 10 the archives
OF the New Hampshire historical Society, and
perhaps elsewhere. Ii Is the Constitution OF the
United States OF America, Republic OF the
thirty-three contede:ated States which existed
on this continent prior to December ~, 1850.
1t is political paper which seems to have been
in its day much talked about, yet poorly under
stood by some to have been aorogated, SO far as
it related to one State at least by the withdrawal
OF South Carolina from the confederation, at the
date first mentioned above. The inhabitants OF
that State were chiefly negroes and Democrats.
This withdrawal occasloned similar degree OF
excitement in this region to that which followed
the division Of the town OF Boscawen, which oc-
Cured some months earlier.
The President of the Republic was at that
time an aged gentleman, named Buchanan, VINO
had become distinguished as writer Tor the
New York Ledger, and the inventor OF pull
monary balsam. He was man OF rare energy,
much firmness Of purpose, and moved by senti-
ments of the Hottest patriotism. He was the
idol of the Democratic party, which elected him,
and always occupied the chief place IN the re-
gard of that harmonious and Innocent organiza-
ton His death is thought to have been occs.

BUSINESS MEN's PRAYER.NEETING AT SMITH
& NIxoE's HALL.-The prayer meeting for
children, held Saturday morning in Smith
& Nixon's Hall, was attended by large
number of those youthful representatives of
the Sabbath. school and nursery.
The one hundred and fourteenth hymn
was sung. The leader prayed in opening,
that the children of this generation might
be saved from the evils of the generation
that had gone before.
The first nine verses of the fifteenth chap
ter of Matthew were read as the Scripture
lesson. The ninety-third hymn was then
sung.
The tenor of the remarks which followed
was such as to adapt them to children, many
of whom listened, their countenances beem-
ing with evident delight.
1t was remarked by one that the great
thing needed now, both by old and young,
was an appreciation of the great doctrine of
assurance. The Scriptures styled Christians
heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ.
They were not natural children, but made
so by adoption. Children relied with conf
dence upon the custom and legal form which
gave them the estate Of their father, yet this
might be set aside and they be cut off with
out a farthing. God had given to the be-
lever frmer ground of hope. He had made
His last will and testament, and not only
that, but He had sealed it with His blood.
We might, therefore, have perfect assurance
that we should receive the inheritance.
One spoke of the value of little things.
Another invoked Heavens blessing upon
those who attended Sabbath-school every
Sunday, as well as those who had never
been in earthly sanctuaries, that they might
in youth sit at the feet of Jesus and learn of
Him.
Captives, taken by the Indians, had often
broken branches and twigs along their path,
30 that their friends might be able to
follow the trail and rescue them. Every
Christian, in his Heavenly journey, should
leave waymaFks behind him.
One related an experience Of his own
life, called to mind by the chapter read. In
youth he was preparing for the ministry,
and had acquired $500 for the purpose.
Just as be was making extensive arrange
ments for studying at an institution of learn
ing, he ascertained that the precise amount
which be had would pay off the mortgage
from his fathers farm. The question arose,
how should the money be appropriated
Friends advised him to continue his stadies,
since the money had already been oonse-
Grated to God, and his father was unwilling
to receive his assistance. But stin he was
unhappy; at length, one day, he read these
words of the lesson; .
"But ye say, whosoever shall say to hiI
father or his mother, it il gift, by what
soever thou mightest be pro6ted by me-
"And honor not his father or his mother
he shall be free. Thus have ye made thu
commandment of God Of none effect, By
| your tradition" This passage influenced
his decision and the amount was appropri
ated for his fathers benefit. He believed b
had since been blessed Of God for that de
cision.
A speaker urged upon the children tn
duty Of obedience to parents.

DEArH OF TEE OLDEST MAN IN ENGLAND

The London Times of the 18th ult., ,.says:
The death of John Hill who was believed
to have been the Oldest man in England, he
having reached his one hundred and fourth
year, took place at Rochester on Sunday
last. The deceased was born at village in
Sussex in the year 1853 and during the
early part of his life was employed in agri-
cultural pursuits. He was always remarkabls
for being a man Of very abstemious habits,
and also an early riser, both of which, prob
ably, eondVeed 10 his longevity. Until
within the last few months Hill Was in the
habit of taking his daily walks about the
city, and Notwithstanding his advanced age
had the appearance Of being a hale old man.
The deceased lived during the Teigns of Eve
English sovereigns, and was IN the frequent
habit of conveTsing on events which took
place during the fFst few years Of the reign
Of George III, Of which he had peaiect
recollection,

which rendered them almost impossible for

deserted appearance and gloomy aspect.

Coon MATERIAL FOR A SOLDIBR.--In this
day, when experienced military men are in
demand, the public will be glad to know who
they are. Colonel L. s. Elliott, well known
in this city as an efficient railroad agent, is
just the man for the times. OF considerable
military taste and experience, of iron frame,
and power of endurance which knows no
fatigue, we are sure he would prove a most
valuable acquisition to any military company
which may need such man as we know
him to be.
