Gods Goodness and DTnn,s Inerntltude

1t is storied ofa certain king, that fighting a
desperate battle for the recovery ofhis daughter
lnlurlously stolen from him, found but i'll sue.
cess, and the day utterly against him; till, by
the valor OF a strange prince, disguised in the
habit OF mean soldier, (that pitied his loss, and
bore love TO his daughter he recovered both
her and victory Not long after, this prince
received some wrong in the point of honor.
which he deservedly priced He made his
complaint TO the king, and desires Justice: tbe
forgetful king puts him over to Judge: the
prince replies, know this, king, when thou
vast lost stood betwixt thee and danger. and
did not bid another save thee, but saved thee
myself; behold the scars ofthose wounds bore
to free thee and thy state from ruin inevitable:
and now my suit is before thee dost thou shuf-
fe me off to another2" Such was our case; Sa-
tan had stolen our dear daughter, our soul; in
VAN we labored recovery; principalities and
powers were against MS, weakness and wretch
edness on our side; Christ the Son of God took
pity on us, aud though he was an eternal prince
OF peace, disguised himselfin the habit of a com
mon soldier putting on him the likeness of a
servant, undertook the war against our too
strong enemies, set himself betwixt us and
death, bore the wounds in his own person which
should have lighted upon us. Now his glory
is in question, his honor much concerned in tn,
transactions of these times. We stand by, and
behold IT, he appeals to our censure, remembers
us OF the wounds, passions, sorrows, he endured
for us; we pnt off from one another, and let the
cause OF him that saved us fall to the ground. :
Who shall plead for our ingratitude? Heaven
and eartt, sea and stars, orbs and elements. an

SAVED.

There is world of Joy shut UP in that little
word, savedl How many a dawn of rich and
golden beauty for the soul has it ushered in, af-
ter gloomy night of deferred hope and anxious
watchingl 1t is always a sweet word to hear
sweeter word to speak. So full of happy mu-
sic when the lips utter it-so full of happer
meaning when the heart feels it. The voice
never breathes it, but the face becomes radiant
with JOY, and the eye sparlSles with delight
Every cord vibrates with nexpressible pleasure.
as its music falls upon the ear long waiting in
anxious expectation.
1T has history of its own, written in the min.
gled experiences of sorrow and joy of many
soul. Few there are who have not uttered it in
more or less of its meaning; through whose soul
it has not sent thrill of delight, filling it too
full for utterance Sound it out in the still of
the night, and some aching heart will take it up,
and send it joyfuly back again through the
gloom and darkness. Whisper it ever so softly,
and there will be some soul that cannot contain
itself for very joy. 1t is the avenue through
which the soul breathes out it's oyerflowing graf
itude. Its whole expression is that of thank.
fulness.
Saved! and from what2 Ali from life of
intemperance, of misery, of crime, of degrada-
tion, of shame, of infamy, and from death. IF
you have known, kind reader, what it is to have
had the dear object of your hearts best affect ions
snatched fromany of these calamities, you have
found no word that would so ftly express the
outgushing thankfulness of your heart, as the
little word-Saved!

LIFE LIKE A RIVER.

Bishop Heber, upon departing for India, said
IN his farewell sermon: Life bears us on like
the stream of mighty river. Our boat first
goes down the mighty channel-through the
playful nurmGring of the little brook, and the
willows upon its CLASSY borders. The trees shed
their blossoms over our young heads, the flow
ers on the brink seem to offer themselves to our
young hands; we are happy in hope, and grasp
eagerly at the beauties around us; The stream
hurries on, and still our hands are empty. Our
course in youth and in manhood is along a wild
er, deeper flood, and amid objects more striking
and magnificent. We are animated by the NOV.
ing picture of enjoyment and industry passing
us; we are excited by our short-lived enjoy.
ments: The stream bears US on, joys and griefs
are left behind us. We may be shipwrecked,
but we cannot be delayed; for rough or smooth
the river hastens towards its home till the roar
Ofthe ocean is in our ears, and the waves be-
meath our feet, and the floods are lifted up around
us, and we take our leave of earth and its inhab-
itants, until Of our further voyage there is no
witness save the Infinite and Eternal"

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
TAKING CARE or NIIMRFR nNr

Advices from Texas show that the leading
rebels there are preparing to "flee from the
wrath to come" and as preliminary step have
been securing all the portable property possible.
letter writer from Matamoras says:
1t is stated here on respectable authority that
the rebel officers who retreated with such ce-
lerity from Brownsville on the landing of our
troops, as well as many of the leading contract
ors in Texas, have shown caution and foresight
which is rarely manifested by those who arrive
at sudden opulence. Col. James Duff is report
ed to have purchased near E40,00O worth of
Sterling Exchange, and Gen. Hamilton P. Bee,
a South Carolina chevaler by birth, is said to
have invested to the amount Of E39,O0O. Ifru-
NOR speaks the truth, the account-books of GER
tain houses in this city would show an amount
OF investment in countries across the ocean,
which, if made known to the public, would raise
a mutiny in rebeldom. Enough has already
leaked out to cause much discomfort. The ot-
pressed masses have been silently watching
what has been going on, and have been daily
becoming more restless and dissatisfied. While
they have been becoming poorer they have seen
cotton lords thrive, and Office holders and con-
tractors acquire wealth and spirit il away be-
yond seas TO where no rebel tax nor United
States conhscation can reach it.

RemarIkable BIas,.

The most remarkable blast in the history OF
iron mining, took place at the Lake Superior
mine short time since. In ordinary ones but
one and half inch hole in diameter is drilled
but in this case one of four inches diameter and
eighteen feet depth was made, distant from the
edge of the cliff about ten feet, into which one
keg of powder was put aud exploded as prelim-
mary, and which had the effect to open seam
to the depth OF fifty feet. Sixteen kegs of pow
der were then put in as a final charge, which
threw down over three thousand tons of ore SO
completely broken up that the largest portion
was small enough to load on the cars for ship
ment without further reductions.

DIssOLv THE UNION.
Dissolve the Union Who would part
The chain that binds us heart TO hearth
Each link was forged by sainted sires
Amid the Revolutions fires;
And cooled-oh where so rich flood
In Warren's and in Sumters blood.
Dissolve the Union Be like France
When "Terror' reared her bloody lance.
And man became distractions child.
And woman in her passions wild.
Danced in the life blood Of her Queen
Beside the dreadful Guillotine2
Dissolve the Unioni Roll away
The spangled flag of glory's day;
Blot out the history Of the brave,
Who to us our Country gave,
And then above the wreck of wears
Quaff an eternity Of tears.
Dissolve the Union Mol Forbearl
The sword of Damocles is there;
Cut but the hair, and earth shall know
A darker; deadlier tale of wo.
Than history crimson page has told
Since Nero's car in blood DER rolled.
Dissolve the Union Speak, ye hills,
le everlasting mountains, cry;
Shrek out, the streams and mingline rills:
And oceans roar in agony;
Dear heroes leap from Glory's sod.
And shield the manor Of your God
