DIAMoSDs.-During q lecture on Mineralo-
gy, at the Truro institution, Capt. Mahmond,
as an instance of the practical Importance of
being able to ascertain the scale of hardness of
minerals, related circumstance that once oc-
Cured to q gold digger. This man, when at
work in the diggings, found rock crystal, and
thinking it was a large diamond, Immediately
left his work and went home. He invited q
friend to take tea with him, and produced the
supposed diamond on the tea-table his friend
offered $1,000 for it, which The digger refused
to take, He made his voyage TO England.
and on arriving at London went to mineral
dealer, and offered him the precious stone for
sale. The dealer, however. upon trying its
hardness, discovered that it was only common
quartz and alter convincing the digger Of his
mistake, he gave him few shillings for it, Oh
account Of its beauty.
An orator ont West, in pleading a petition

ton and soar through the ethereal world, pur-
suing their course from star to star and from

vast eternity Of spaee-theu, sir, let Us direct
our attention to a road more Immediately in

SAVING FOR 0LD AGE-No one denies that
it is wise to make provision fer old age, but
We are rot all agreed as to the kind of provis-
ion it IS best to lay in. Certainly, we shall
want a little money, for destitute old man is
indeed a sorry sight, and suggests to every one
the suspicion that his life las been foolishly if
not wickedly spent. Yes, save money by all
means But an old man needs Just that parti-
cular kind of strength which young men are
most apt to waste. Many foolish young fell
low will throw away on holiday certain
amount Of nervous energy, which he will never
feel the want Of until he is seventy, and then
how much he will want it Il is curious, but
true, that bottle Of champagne at twenty
may intensity the rheumatism at three-score.-
It is q fact, that everlasting the eyes at four
teen may necessitae the aid of spectacles at
forty instead Of eighty. We advise our young
readers to be saving Of their health for their
old age, fer the maxim holds good with regard
to health as TO money-waste not, want not.
1t is the greatest mistake to suppose that any
violation of the laws OF health can escape its
penalty.
Nature forgives no sin, no error She lets
off the offender for fifty years, sometimes but
she catches him at last and inficts the pun
ishment just when, Just where just how he
feels it most. Save up for old age, but save
more than money; save health. save honor
knowledge, save the recollection of good deeds
and innocent pleasures, save pure thoughts,
save friends, save love. Save rich stores of
that kind of wealth which time cannot dimi-
nish, nor death take away.

Bishop Of Maryland moved that the Letter
written BY the Bishop of Ohio be the Pastoral
Letter Of the House Of Bishops, which motion
prevailed. @
The Church Journal, from which we derive
the foregoing facts, says:
Had this been merely question Of taste, or
personal preference, not one OF the prelates
mentioned would have considered the affair
worthy Of second thought; nor should we
have said word about it. But the Seat-and
only-differ between the two, was, that the
Bishop Of Ohio's letter was political manifesto,
and the Bishop of Vermont's was not. This
was subject Of too deep and vital an import
ance to be passed over In silence. The Biahop
of Vermont therefore drew up and presented In
the House, on Thursday evening, Protest
against the political character of the Pastoral
Letter, requesting leave to have II entered on
the Journals. Leave was refused, and the
record was, by vote Of the House, 80 altered as
TO conceal the fact that any other draft OF q
Pastoral had been before them for consdera-
tion, except that written by the Bishop OF Ohio.
The thanks Of the Church arc due to the
Bishop of New York also, for the manly and
thorough advocacy given by him. in she Upper
| House, to the all important principle 90 stoutly
oontended for by tho Bsbop of Vermont; q
principle which has been the inyariable rule OF
General Convention, in both Houses from the
adoption Of our present Constitution down to
the "wednesday and Friday of the past week.
Several days in advance Of the presentation OF
the two Psstorals, the Bishop Of New York had
moved resolutions against Incorporating in the
Pastoral anything OF political nature touching
the questions OF the day; resolutions which were
laid on the table by the House. Nor Was the
Bishop of New York the only Bishop thuS stand-
ing up, With the Bishop Of Vermont, for The
RIGHT, but there we're many others who Sat by
in silence
IL ought to be added, that, Ia the eaeiier.daye
of the session, the conservative tone Of the
Upper House was very decided. including oil
but Eve or ak members OF IL, The protracted
discussion In the Lower House, the threatening
and bullying tone OF so large portion OF the
public press, the personal pressure brought to
bear from various directions, and the persua.
sive powers of those letters from members OF
the Cabinet (Which ough. by all means TO be
published), emboldened by the few political
prelatea, and produced the first political Pas
toral ever Issued by our House OF Bishops.

Next Governor OF Ohio.

AT the great Democratic Jubilee held at
Hilleborough, Highland county, ca the 22i OF
October, JOHN A. TRIMDLE, Esq offered the
following resolutions. which we're unanimously
adopted:
Resolped, That, in the eloquent and impress,
siye speech OF the Hon. G. L. VallRndighsmi
the people of Highland county have heard and
felt thorough conviction Of his worth and pat
rotism as ststesman, and the triumphant vim
dication OF this fearless champion OF our rights
against the falsehoods and malice OF his politl,
cal opponents, and that We are therefore pre-
pared for the adoption Of The following:
Rssolped, That, deploring, as we do, the do.
feat of"the champion of Constitutional rights"
(Hon. G. L. ValleDdigham), in the recent elec-
lion in his Congressional district, and that the
Democracy and conservative element Of the
country 6ill loose, for time, his services in
the National councils; still, We acknowledge
him as our standard. bearer, and as such, this
meeting TesOlues, with united hearts and un-
falteFing zeal, to 20 for Clement l.. Vallandig-
ham for Governor of Ohio, in 1858.
Resolved, That Col Samuel Pike, editor OF
the Hillsborough Gazette, be requested TO I'M
furl tho Vallandigham banner to the breeze,
inscribed "the Union as il waS, and the Consti.
tuition as ii 10. sacred aud inviolate, and that
we pledge old Highland for majority Of one

The Hillsborough Gazette of the 29!h oCto-
Der places Mr.. vALLANDIoHLM's name at Its
masthead, for Governor, subject to the decision
Of the next Democratic State Convention.
Col. PIKE concludes an editorial article on the
subject thus:
In obedience to the will of our country
friends, as expressed In the above resolutions,
We run the name of the gallant orator, states
man and patriot to our masthead to-day, in
scribed as directed. and shall continue TO do
battle for the success of Vallandigham from
this time until he shall be nominated and
elected; and where is there Democrat who
will not join us in three times three cheers for
the success of that ticket7

A recent number Of the Church Journal
(Episcopsl) furnishes an extraordinary episode
In the proceedings Of the General (Episcopal)
Convention lately in session in New York City.
II leIs in food of light upon some peculiar
doings in tho House of Blshops-a body whose
proceedings rarely get before the public except
by accident.
The Church Journal states that at the pre-.
ceding General Convention no Pastoral Letter
was issued, owing to the difficulties rs to the
Bishop who should draw it up, and the want Of
time during the session. The House Of Bish-
ops then appointed committee of five Of the
Oldest Bishops to prepare Pastoral for the
next General Convention. The Bishop Of Yer
mont (HoPKlRs), as senior and chairman Of
this committee, drew up the letter Of course,
and submitted IL to the committee. Not word
Of fault was found, or suggestions of alteration
made.
On motion of the Bishop of Ohio (McILvAINE),
il was unanimously resolved to report the letter
to the House as the Pastoral Letter Of the
House Of Bishops. Bat within q few days the
Bishop of Ohio requested the Bishop of YER
mont to call the committee together once more.
Though no reason was assigned fos the request,
II was complied with; and, on assembling, the
Biehop of Ohio drew forth another draft Of a
