The Preciousness of Faith.

Precious, indeed, is that faith that leans
upon God in adversely, that goes to Jesus in
trial, and that repairs to the Spirit in sorrow.
Precious faith that finds a promise for every
condition, helper in emergency, a soother
for every sorrow-that can hope against hope,
taste sweet disguised in every bitter, and
see bright light veiled by each dark cloud.
This is the true gold that procures all bless
ing, and euriches its posscssor with all good.
He that has faih an God has every desire of
his heart fulfilled. He can dive into the
treasures of Gods word and say, 'All these
love- He can turn to the Redeemer's full
ness and exclaim, ftpleased the Father that
all this fulness Of grace, and truth, and love,
should dwell in Jesus for me- He can re-
pair to the throne of grace and say, Here l
am permitted to draw near to God burdened
with sin, laden with want, oppressed with
trial, assalcd with temptation, crushed with
sorrow, casting by an act of faith, all my care
upon Him. Is it not that precious faith that
enriches my poverty, that digniies my mean
ness, that guides my perplexities, that cheers
my loneliness, that calms my grief that de-
teats my foes, that paints bow upon every
cloud, and that brings all heaven into nv
soul? Yes, such is the fruit of that faith Of
which God is the giver, the Spirit the author,
Christ the object, and a poor, empty, un.
worthy soul the happy possessor DR.. YIN

Married, Though not Married.

The Hartford Post relares a novel matri-
monial incident which occurred in that CITY
few evenings since. A Hartford clergy
man was absent from home over night. A
New York clergyman, who was visiting him.
remained in the family until his return
That evening young man, accompanied by
a girl who hung tcnderly upon his coat sleeve
applied at the house and modestly stated that
he and his fair partner would be very much
gratified to be yoked for life, and he wanted
to see Mr.. -. The visiting clergyman in
formed him that Mr.. - was absent, "but"
said he q 1 can perform the ceremony Just
as WE'LL" The young man looked at the
young woman and she looked at him then
they both looked at the minister, and there
was brief silence, which was broken by
the young man, who said, "Well, you'll do,
sir; come along Maria;" and the parties en-
tered the parlor to proceed to business
The knot was duly tied and a certificate made
out, and the newly welded pair left to enjoy
their honey moon. The next day the absent
brother told what he had done and handed
over the marriage fee. He at once respond
ed that the whole ceremony was illegal and
the couple who had been Joined were the
victims of a mistake, as the laws of Con-
nectlcut do not permit cergymen from abroad
to perform the marriage ceremony. All that
could be done under the circumstances was
to ascertain the whereabouts of the deceived
couple and notify them to appear and be made
man and wife over again. When the letter
reaches them they will doubtless experience
a queer sensation.

Are the Indians of the Lost Ten Tribes
of Israeli

We see it stated in the Memphis Bulletin
that some Jewish rabbi, living in Memphis,
believes tho word ''Arkansas' which is an
Indian name, to be derived from two Hebrew
words. We can tell him something that is
more Israclitish than the mere name of Ar
kansas, in regard to tho Indians Among
the CherOkees there are many customs which
seem to point to them as descendants of Is
rael. For instance, they had at au early day
established among them, three cities of re-
fuge, where any one killing another could
fec, and if he reached either of the towns he
was free from the vengeance of the man
slayer. These towns, (ga .too-hu) were situ>
atcd some distance apart, in the nation, and
we can only recollect the name of two of
them, Echoti and Tablcquah-the other name
we have forgotten.
There is another custom among them
which looks like they were the descendants
of Jacob. The old Indians who lived years
ago, and followed implicitly the manners and
customs of their fathers handed down by
tradition, would not eat the sincw or the hol>
low of the thigh, which was custom of the
children of Israel, after Jacob wrestled with
the angel all night at the place he named
Pencil. The account of this matter may be
found in EXODUS, sd chapter, beginning
at the 9th verse.
What will the Israelites say to these mat
tiers of history? We have more of the same
SOFT Fort Smith Herald.

Medicinal Qualities of Pumpkins.

AT a recent discussion in the New York
Farmers Club, correspondent writes of the
virtues of the Pumpkin:
81 will give you simple, yet very valu-
able cure for infiammatory rheumatism. A
woman's arm was swelled to an enormous size
and painfully inflomed. A poultice was made
Of stcwcG pumpkin, which was renewed every
fifteen minutes, and in short time produced
perfect cure. The fever drawn out by the
pOultices made them extremely offensive as
they were taken off. L know man cured of
severe inflammation CT the bowels by the same
kind of application. think such subjects as
this proper for discussion in farmers club.
!lr. Snodgrass-I have no doubt pumpkins
make good pou!tice. Whatever holds water
and warmth best is the most suitable
DIR. Smith-In my travels in Syria found
pumpkin seeds almost universally eaten by
the people on account of their supposed med
ical qualities. Not because they are diuretic,
but as an antidote against animaIculo which
infest the bowels.

On Thursday last, man in apparent

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette writes thus of the Thirty
ninth Congress:
"For combined audacity, malignity, fanati-
cism an total want of every essential of states
'manship, it stands uurivalled in all historic
time. 1t may have had an equal in the sim
gle quality of fanaticism in the Rump Parlia>
bent Of England, but that body had the pal
'liatin9 virtue of honesty. In audacity and
malignant and ferocious pursuit merely of
PROSTATE opponents, it may have been rivalled
by the National Assembly of France, in Ro-
bespierre's time, but it was without the excuse
OF danger, and without the stimulous of pa
trlotlsm, which undoubtedly, actuatsd that
trenzied assemblage.'

THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WoRLD.-A
London journal says the young Lord Belgrave,
grandson of the Marquis of Westminster, if he
lives to inherit his patrimony, will be the
richest man in the world. The Marquis owns
Belgravia, the fashionable quater of London,
which now yields an income of $1,000 per
day, and ten years hence, by the lapse of
ground leases, will be ten or twenty times the
amount. The young heir is thirteen years of
age. This colossal fortune has been Kept in
the family and increased by intermarriage.

= The Boston Transcript recommends
that in building chimneys bricklayers should
put quantity of salt into the mortar with
which the intercourse of brick are to be laid.
The effect will be that there will never be
any accumulation of SCOT in the chimney, for
the reason that salt in the portion of mortar
which is exposed absorbs moisture every
damp day. The SCOT thus becoming damp,
falls down in the fire place.

MISCELLANEOUS.

INCREASE OF CR1ME-The San Francisco
Bulletin accounts for the increase of crime all
over the country, among other causes by the
increased facilities for the sudden acquisition
of wealth, and the temptations to speculations
akin to gambling in their character and in
fuences, which are afforded by our inflated
currency and fuctuating scale of values In
all cases where many persons in commuri-
ty come into sudden possession of riches, no
matter from what cause-whether mining,
army contracts, stock speculations, or rise in
prices-the result is certain amount of dis
sipatlon and folly, ending in gross immortality
and crime. The majority of the socalled
"lucky ones arc apt to be ignorant of tho
best use of wealth, without culture or taste,
and inclined to low ideas of what constitutes
happiness. 1t was a knowledge of Swift,
that Heaven shows its contempt for riches by
the kind of men it bestows them upon.

When storms and tempest forcely rage,
And clouds obscure the sky,
Lstnot thy faith Id God decline,
Nor hope within thee die.
The winds shall drive those clouds away,
The sun again shall shine,
The fi"wery fields look gay again,
And joy and peace be thine.
The morn may be With clouds o'crcast,
And thundsrs round thee roar,
Vet Gro the evenings shadows fall,
The storms may all be DER.
4 sense of guilt may bow thy head,
And fill thy miud with grief,
But grace divine can heal thy wounds,
And bring a sweet relief
Then let thy heart be undismaycd,
Nor yield to slavish fear;
In Gods free grace place all thy trust,
Thy prayers can reach His ear,
Light round thy path shall brightly shine.
And cheer each lonely hour;
When grief assails, a hand divine
Shall <hcid thee from its power.
