Prophecy about Christmas.

This year Christmas day fell on Monday, of
which event on old song prognosticates:
If Christmas day on NJ nday be,
A great winter that year you'll see,
And full of winds both loud and shrill;
But in the Summer truth to tell,
Stern winds shall there be and strong,
Full Of tempests and lasting long:
While battles they shall multiply,
Ar ;reat plenty of beasts shall die;
He snail be found that stealeth ought,
Though thou be sick thou diest not.

Losses by Religion.

Near London there dwelt an old couple In
early life they had been poor, but the husband
became Christian and God blessed their in
dustry, and they were living in comfortable
retirement, when one day stranger called on
them to ask their subscription to charity
The old lady had less religion than her hus-
band, and still hankcred after the Sabbath
huskings and easy shillings which Thomas had
forfeited from regard to the law of God. So
when the visitor asked their contributions, she
interposed, and said:
"Why, sir, we have lost a deal by religion
since we first began my husband knows that
very WE'LL Have we not, Thomas?"
After solemn pause, Thomas answered {:
eyes, Mary,w we have. BefereI got religion,
Mary, 1 had an old slouohed hat, tatterea
coat, and mended shoes and stockings but
have lost them long ago. And, Mary, you
know that, poor as was, had habit of
getting drunk and quarreling with you and
that you know I have lost. And then, had
hardened conscience and wicked heart, and
ten thousand guilty fears; but all are lost,
completely lost, and like a mill stone cast into
the deepest sea. And Mary, you have been
a loser, too, though not SO greats loser as my.
self. Before we got religion, Mary, you had
a washing tray in which you washed for hire !;
but since then you have LOST your washing
tray. And you had gown and bonnet much
the worse for wear; but you have lost them
long ago. And you had many an aching
heart concerning me at times; but these you
happily have lost. And l could even wish
that you had lost as much as | have lost; for
what we lose for religion will be an everlasting
gain"

in the mines For the want of something
better, he agreed to sell himself, with twenty
one other negroes and hundreds more to fol-
low, to come out here. He is separated from
his family, like many others Of the company.
He sayshhe is more Of slave now than in old
times. He knows how to hoe corn, but don't
know how to work in aquickslver mine. He
wants to go back, but they won't let him 60.
He signed some writings, but he don't know

I Tsaehers' I.stttte THE Teachers Institute
| of New Castle County net in Good Templar's
Hall. Wilmington, on Saturday, May 2eth, at
Q O'Clock, P. NJ. Rev. L. Coleman in the chair.
Mr.. Reynolds Of the Wilmington Classical
Seminary, delivered lecture upon the subject
of Arithmetic. He confined his remarks prin-
ciPllly to simple and compound proportion
and circulating decimals. The principles in
volved in these rules were explained in
thorough and interesting manner. At the
close OF the lecture the order of business was
taken up, when tho minutes of the last session
were read aud approve . The committee APP
pointed to prepare q constitution, reported
preamble and series of articles for the govern
ment of the Institute, which were considered
seratim and adopted. They aiso reported
number of by laws, but as neither were com.
plete the whole was referred back 10 the COM
mittee with instructions TO report fually ct
the next meeting. 0ne feature OF the part oil
the constitution adopted is a change of name.
Hereafter the organization will be known as
the Educational Institute of New Castle Co "
This name was adopted because it sets forth
the character of the Institute better than the
former one did. It's design being not to enlist
the efforts Of teachers only but of the friends
of education In general. The Secretary was
instructed to record the names of those per-
sons present who were willing to become
members of the Institute. A number of names
were received, and we have no doubt the NUM-
Der will be greatly increased, as there lie
growing interest manifested in the cause
Upon motion, the Rev. L. Coleman was inv-
ted to lecture before the Institute at its next
session. There being no farther business the
Institute adjourned to meet 10 Good remplsrs'

TIE TRuE PoLIoY.-Uuion men sheuld act

divli In regard to any policy. would be fol-
ly, it would be suicidal. After the opposition
have abaadoned all their heresies, all their
predictions 10 favor OF treason, it will be
timo enough FOR union men to act indepen-
IDENTITY ofeach other. Had the army under
General GRAFT undertaken to dstermae on the
policy which should BIO pursued toward the
rebels, they never would have won the vi.
tory. Men Of different We've and opinions, then
acted together for the sake OF the Union, aud
we must now do the same. 1t Is more impor.
taut that the governmen, shoali hs maintain.
cd 10 loyal hands, than it Ia that any particu-
lar policy should be adopted. Traitors and
sympathiEers with treason, should not be
elected to places OF honor or profit. The coun
~ lie now reapipg the fruits of the per6dy and
trsachery Of such characters, and another OPP
portunity should not be given them to use
