FINE STEEL ENGRAVING,

From Painting by Clarence "a. DobeR.
This beautiful Engraving, suggestive OF Life's
Journey from Childhood to Old 4gi, which has
been so long in the Engraver's hands is now ready
fnr Subscribers.
The Picture represents Boat Crossing a
Stream; on the forward part, Childhood is repre-
sented by u Boy and Girl, joyous and delighted
with the prospects ahead; while further along in
the boat is Youth,--a young lady carelessy play
ing with pond liies her admirer, young man,
sits by her side. Near the centre of the boat,
Manhood is represented by husband and wife. The
husband is standing, his hand resting upor the
shoulder of his wife, while she looks up with n
confding and cheerful smile, her child OF perhaps
six summers, is sleeping in her lap. In the after
part of the boat, Old Age is shown by an old man
and woman who have Travelled Lilies Journey"
together, with all its "joys and sorrows" 'bopes
and Fears" the old gentleman leans forward upon
his cane deep in thought. while the old lady sits
with basket in her lap looking back evidently
reviewing the past. Time is represented by
hardy oarsman whose only care seems to be in
pulling the boats crew across the stream, his
daughter in her sun-bonnet, very contentedly
peers ever the bow of the boat. The whole grou-
ping and style of the picture shows master work
Of art and need only to be seen to be admired.
The Engraving is neatly printed on plate pa
per, 20x26, and sold to subscribers at $500 per
copy. ID. b. RUSSELL & Co.,

Life and Immortality to light, by the gospel of

instructiug subject, but that which relates to OR
Ina ortal interest certainly claims most serious
regards. The time, place, and manner OF the "Na-
tivity Of our Saviour" charms the soul, and car
ries with il copsolation to the human heart. All
in this Christian land are familiar with the pro-
phecies of II Saviour.
In the days of Augustus Caesar. On edct went
forth for general taxation, Joseph and Nary went
up from Ghlilee to Bethlehem, to be taxed. (The

with sweetness and beaaty,) kneels beside it, JC-

who have evidently brought sacrifeial Lamb,
have laid it the floor. and bow in humble ndora-

Shepherds dog meekly waiting at the door, the
stars shining through the easement, the ghmmer-

admirably portrayed; each face bears its own
meaning, while The Bobe Of Bethlehem" is the

host. No lesson can be more instructive, or theme
more profitable than the plan OF human redemption.

THERE is general pleasure expressed
throughout the country at the report of an
American man-ofwar having been sent up
the Parana river to negotiate between Brazil
and her allies and Paraguay, and the uni
yersal desire is that the mediation may be
successful. The war has lasted two years,
and has been most bitter and sanguinary,
but it has accomplished nothing, except to
show that the efforts to subdue Paraguay
are hopeless The Allies are becoming de.
moralzed at their constant defeats, and as
Paraguay is the weaker and ill,used Power,
popular sympathy is in her favor.

THE MIssIssTPPIjLEyEEs.

In an article upon the necessity Of national
help to stay the devastations Of property in
Louisiana by Che breaking Of the levees the
New York Times says: ,.,,..l ,.,I.r
"Thc spring, floods are spreading devasta-
tion in districts already dispirited und pow
erty.stricken. The dispatch we published
yesterday from New Orleans tells the begin
ming ofthe pitiful story. The feeble attempts
that have been made to repair the Louisiana
levees have proved inadequate, and the
richest region, of that productive State is now
under water-whole parishes rendered useless
for the season, the money expended in their
cultivation lost, ana thousands Of freedmen
deprived Of the labor on which they relied
for the years subsistence. or the extent OF
the calamity we can yet form but an I'M
perfect conception. For while the dispatch
speaks only Of isolated breaks and a partial
overflow, there are reasons for experimenting
much wider desolation. An article from the
New Orleans Times, of Thursday last, de
scribes the levees generally as insufficient
for the emergency. Not only are they
everywhere lacking in solidity and height
but the food they should stem, besides beine
month earlier than usual, promises to bl
of almost unprecedented magnitude.
Before the war private associations o.
planters, sustained in some cases, by the
credit Of their States, served to reclaim and
protect the choicest sugar and cotton-grow.
ing lands Of the South Military necessity
led to the cutting Of the levees at variou'
points. Time and q succession of floods hav,
aggravated the destruction thus begun. Th'
planters, impoverished by the work OF The
war and the waters, are literally helpless
and the States, with empty exchequers am
credit gone, are unable TO render the neede
assistance. In these circumstances nationn
help becomes necessity, unless the countr,
is prepared to witness the relapse into vii
derness OF n region whose resources are pei
manently greater, and infinitely more avail
able, than the rocks OF Colorado or th,
placers Of California.
"An effort was made last summer to oh
tain Congressional assistance. The Senate
acting upon the recommendation Of one c
its committees passed measure providn
for the repair Of the more important levee
and recognizing the expediency Of iurthC
and more comprehensive work. In tE
House, however partisanship asserted i
sway, and the bill was defeated. Becaut
Mr.. BANKS and Mr.. STEVENS were dissatisfe
with the political attitude Of Louisiana,
scheme Of vital importance to the entil
Southwest, and indirectly to the whole cou
try, was frustrated. Itwere too much to SO
perhaps, that the prompt application of Il
means which the Senate was then prepare
to grant would have prevented the calamit
whichnow shocks the sympathies and disturb
the business Of the country, But some di
trcts might surely have been saved and "
should at least have felt that the cry for SUI
cor, to which the Senate bill was q respons
had not been altogether unheeded"
