DISTRIBUTION OF CLOTHING. Com
mittee of Council designated Saturday af-
ternoon at Mackubin's Hall, as the time
and place for the distribution of donated
clothing to the refugees from the Indian
country. Mr. Finck, of the Council, and
number Of German ladies, made the dis
tribution. About one hundred claimants,
mostly women and children, presented
themselves, and obtained such garments
as they most needed. The donations en-
braced everything for wear, from the sole
of the foot to the crown of the head, and
we are assured that one church in Chicago
sent out a barrel Of tracts, pamphlets, &c,
intended, We presume, as food for the soul.

FRIDAY, Oct. love have to note contin-
nance of the upward tendency of wheat. The
market opened yesterday at 1s@1e above
Thursdays highest prices. At the depots buy
ers offered 81 &c for No. 2, 97c for No. and
81@S1 1ac for rejected without making any pur-
chases. Sellers were generally holding at 92@
CSC for the standard grades in store. In addi-
ton to the sales reported in our last issue a
round lot of 10000 bushels No. ! was sold in
the evening at $500 in store.
Before Change a further advance of 1ac was
established on wheat, and during the board
great activity und excitement prevailed, with
higher and irregular prices. No. 2 went up to
93c, and subsequently to 94c in all the railroad
elevators, making total advance on this grade
for the day of Sc per bushel. In the forenoon
sales of No. varied from 9711s to 97&c. On
the board this grade ruled pretty steady at CSC
in store, and just before the close D large
amount changed hands at $3.50. This, how
ever, was considered an extreme figure, and al
though at the time the wheat could not have
been bought for less the demand at that price
was very quickly supplied.
SATURDAY. 10 A. NJ.
The wheat market was rather unsettled at
the opening to-day. Ten to twelve thousand
bushels No l sold early at an advance of nc on
yesterdays highest price, but subsequently 9311z
for No and $50 for No in store became the
ruling quotations, and 950p$1 90 for the same
qualities in bags. Sales at the depots were not
large as there was general disposition to hold
back for Eastern advices, buyers protesting to
expect a decline and sellers q further advance.
Receipts will not vary much from 1000 bus.

\ Mosr BLESSED ORDER.-What blessed
order of nature it is. that the footsteps of Time
are inaudible and noiseless, and that the sea-
son Of life, like those of the year, are so indis-
tinguishably brought on in gentle progression,
and is so bleuded, the one with the other that
the human being scarcely knows, except from
a faint and not unpleasant sensation, that he is
growing old. So day steals into night through
the crimson curtains oftwlight So the golden
gates Of dawn swing round noiseless as the
portals OF Heaven. Even the beat of the heart
is muffied, that we may not know how fast ii
struggles out. From the building of the oak
to the rolling of the world, there is no clink of
machinery. There is no noise save Of helpless
wave, or the rent air grOaning with the light
ning's bolt or now and thea the play of the
volcanoes valves, or the puny cry OF insects or
of men, in all this world of ours. The past is
dumb, the future silent, and the present makes
but slight ripple, like the trailing of steam
er on the quiet sea.

A You've LADY's PAsTINE IN PAR1s-A
Paris correspondent of the Perth Amboy
Journal says that there is a new fashionable
epidemic raging in the French capital sort
of young ladies work, the results of which will
last for many generations
The process is this: You buy a set of porce-
lain (Sevres if you choose) as expensive or
cheap as your taste or your purse will admit of;
on these you paint heads, landscapes flowers,
or whatever you fancy, with paints prepared
for the purpose. Then you send it to the
porcelain baker. who bakes it three times,
which so fixes the colors that they become
permanent, and will last as long as the China.
have seen complete tea set painted by
young lady, which could not be painted for
thousand dollars Every plate, cup, saucer,
preserve dish, and cake basket was different,
and very beautiful. OF course the baker must
thoroughly understand his business, for mi
mute too long in the oven, or the oven too hot,
may destroy all. An artist who had spent
many months painting piece for the exhibi-
tion at the Paais d'lndustrie among the col
leclonS of living artists, had it cracked in the
oven for want Of sufficient care. The porcelain
plate cost some hundred dollars. Not long
since baker fell asleep and broke eight hun
dred dollars worth of porcelain, for which be
was obliged to pay, and was consequently
ruined. do not know if you have porcelain
bakers in the United States, but if you had,
you would find this far preferable to many
other pastimes in vogue

The Unseen Battlefield.

There Is an unseen battlefield
In every human breast,
Where two opposing forces meet,
But where they seldom rest.
The field is veiled from mortal sight;
lis only seen by One,
Who knows alone where victory lies,
When each days light is done.
One army clusters strong and fierce,
Their chief of demon form;
His brow is Ike the thunder-cloud,
His voice the bursting storm.
His captains, Pride and Lust and Hate.
Whose troops watch night and day,
Swift to detect the weakest point,
And thirsting for the fray.
Contending with this mighty force,
Is but little band:
Yet these, with az unyielding front,
Those warriors firmly stand.
Their leader is God-like form,
OF countenanee serene;
And glowing on his naked breast,
simple Cross is seen.
His captains, Faith and Hope and Love,
Poiat to the wondrous sign,
And gazing at it, all receive
Strength from source divine.
They feel it speaks glorious truth,
A truth as great as sure,
That to be victors. they must learn
To lore, confde, endure.
That faith sublime. in widest strife,
lmparts holy calm;
In every deadly blow a shield,
For every wound balm.
Ard when they win that battlefield,
Past toll IS quite forgot;
The plaiu where conflict once had ragged,
Becomes hallowed spot.
A spot where flowers of JOY and peace
Spring from the fertile sod,
And breathe the perfume Of their praise
On every breeze-to God.

UYNoTICED HERoEs.-W hen we see man

it is assailed fortfying his religious trust in
proportion as providence is obscure hoping
in the ultimate triumph of virtue more surely
in proportion to its present afflictious ; cher
ishing philanthropy amidst the discouraging

funess extending to others sympathy which
his own sutferings need not obtain growing
milder and gentler amidst what tends to exas-
perate and burden, and through inward princi-
pie, converting the indictments to evil into the
occasions Of a victorious virtue, we see an
explanation, and noble explanation, of the
present state. We see a good produced so
transceudent IN its nature as TO justify all the
evil and suffering under which it grows up.
We should think the formation Of few such
minds worth all the apparatus of the present
world. We should say that this earth, with
It's continents and oceans, its seasons and har-
vests, and its successive generations, was a

scattered through history. And when we con.
slider how small a portion of human virtue is
recorded by history, how superior in dignity as
well as in number are the unDoticed and un-
honored saints aud heroes Of domestic and
humble life, We see great light thrown over
the present state which more than reconciles
Us to all its evils.

PAPER UP.-The lately increased cost of
printing paper in New York has caused the

bought for eight and nine dollars a ream, is
now worth two dollars advance This to-
gether with the stamp duty and tax on adver-

The DUrCH HIsroRY.-Houand is the land
Of the chivalry of the middle classes. Here,
they may say in honest pride to the hereditary
lords and mobiles of the earth in the other coun-
tries Of Europe, see what we groccrs, fsh-curers
and shipowners have done in days of yore, in
this little country. But, alas this glory is
faded. In the deserted streets of Delft, Leyden
and Harlem the grass is growing through the
seams of the brick pavement, the ragged petit
coat flutters in the wind out of the drawing
room easement of a palace, the echo Of wooden
shoes Gathering through empty saloons, tells
of past magnidcence of actual indigence. 1t
has been a land of warlike deeds, of high and
independent feeling, the home Of patriots, Of
heroes, of scholars, of artists. Of philosophers
of men of science, Of the prosecuted for relig-
ious Or political opinions from every country,
and Of the generous spirits who patronized and
protected them. Why is it that beautiful
Holland Of our time no longer that old Holland
Of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
Why are her streets silent, her canals green
with undisturbed slime? Her capital and in
dustry were not employed in producing what
ministers to human wants and Qualifications
but in transmitting what other countries pro
duced or manufactured. from one country to
another. She was their broker. When their
capitals, applied at first more benefcially to
productive Industry, had grown large enough
to enter also into the business Of circulation as
we'll as into that of production-into COM
merce, properly SO called-the prosperity of
Holland, founded upon commerce alone, un-
supported by basis of productive Industry
within herself, and among the mass of her own
population, fell to the ground. This is the
history of Holland. It speaks an important
lesson to nations.
