It is as follows: ' -->': :-'
The Chicago Reformed Preabyte.y testify:
That depriving unohenafng men Of liberty is
fragrant iniqaity, and the consent to and sup-
port Of that iniqnity By the United States IS q
nataona1 crime; that the calamities Of the pres
ent rebellion-overturnin lawful government
and expressing SOME Of the States with an
archy, reducing the whole nation to bank
ruptcy, slaughtelfng the best and bra7est Of
her sone, and filing every family In the land
with anxiety and sofTow-are Gods judgments
against us on account Of this crime; that NC
have no reason to hope that God will remove
{nese judgments nc until the nation publicly con
that On the contrary the plain warnings Of
Scripture and the lessons Of history make Us
!eaf that II We persist In upholding this iniqui-
y, against which He has drawn tie sword, we
shall proyoke Him to indict other sore judg-
ments OF famine, pestilenee and captivity upon

Babylon, Greece, Rome, Poland, Spain, Tnr-
key, India, China and every other s1ayeholdiug
nation; for 1t is written, He shall break In
pieces the oppressor."

AUTUMN.

In storms the dreary day closes,
All hushed is the twittering glee
OF the swallows that sang for me,
And hushed is the orioles song;
For summer hath gone with her roses,
And Autumn comes trailing along
Ger the tomb where the lilly reposes,
Sad Autumn comes trailing along
But alas the Summer hath taken
Not only the roses gay,
Not only the flowers away,
Not only the orioles lay
But haiti left me entirely forsaken,
Having taken afar to her home ser5i.
My darling. who will not awaken,
When nature no longer is dumb,
/ knew it would be in Autumn
Alas that Autumn should come
Let the lilly not murmur that sleepeth
Far down in the cold, dreary earth
For it hath, in waiting. birth $50. s
To beauty and Spring time mirth
But the heart of the poet that weepcth
For her that is fairer far
Than the roses and lilies are.

Like the watch of a lonely star.

The SILVER SNAKE MYsrERY.-The Silver
snake mystery, which, a few years ago, so
much excited the people of Western New
York, is solved at last. The hotel at Silver
Lake, in Perry, Wyoming county, recently
took fire, and in removing some rubbish, the
neighbors came across what they supposed
was large India rubber hose. On stretching
it out, it showed the form OF snake, some fit
ty feet in length. II seems the owner Of tie
hotel hit upon this expedient to redeem his
failing fortunes, and after reaping the benefits
of the custom of thousands who came to see
the wonderful serpent, he sold out, and, NOV
ling away, left the snake to the new proprietor.
A BEAUTIFUL ILLUsTRATIoN.-Iti is said Of
the Icelanders, that they scrupulonsly observe
the usage of reading the sacred Scriptures ev-
cry morning, the whole family joining in the
singing and prayers. When the Iceander
awakes, he salutes no person until he has salu-
ted God. He usually hastens to the door, "a
dores there the Author of Nature and Provi-
dence, then steps back into the dwelling, say
ing to his family, ssGod grant yon good
days What beautiful illustration is this of
the Christian obligation on the part of house
holds to recognize and worship God.
