TO CHURCH MEMBERS.

A spirit of worldliness seems so promi-
nent in our church, that I feel constrained
to ask, can there be such thing as II
worldly christian? The Bible says, "by
their fruits We shall know them,' and "to
be carnally minded is death )" and it also
says, "Therefore thou art inexcusable, Oh
man, whosoever thou art that judgest, for
wherein thou judgest another thou con.
demnest thyself, for thou that judgest do.
est the same things. But we are sure
that the judgment of God 10 according to
truth against them that commit such
things"
So [ hope to be delivered from judging
my lellow-c christians, but feeling sure that
the judgment of God is according to truth,
may ask how far they feel prepared TO
meet the judgment of that God, who will
render to every man according to his
deeds :? For not the hearers of the law
are just before God, but the doors of the
law shall be justified. Are We as professiug
Christians, doors of the law, and the jus
tilted of the Lord If so, what evidence
do we give to the church and the world
that We are such Do we. show by cur
daily walk and conversation that we have
been with Christ, and that we love the
Lord with all our hearts, with all our
minds and all our strength, and our neigh
Dor as ourselves IL we individually love
the Lord with all our. strength, would not
different state of things exist in our
church !? Would we find our church
members, with few exceptions, exerting
all their energies for self-aggraudizement
and worldly honors? If we are truly
born again, would we not make every eff
fort in our power for the advancement of
Christ's kingdom
See how the professor is toiling day
after day, week after week, and year after
year to lay up, for himself riches, to build
him fine houses, put fine dress upon his
family, and fill his garner with luxurious
living Why, he scarcely wearies the
thong hts of leaving his children possessed
of fortune is so exhilaratiDg, that he is
willing to endure any amount Of hardship,
thu the may leave them so blessed, forget
ting that the Great Giver of all these mer-
cies has said "Lay not up for yourselves
treasures on earth, where moth and dust
doth corrupt, and where thieves break
through and steal" Now, if one.half
that energy was spent in religious mat
tiers, I think there would not be such COM
planning of spiritual GOODNESS, and SO many
defects and short. comings on the part of
our pastor; for it seens to me we are
very. prone to reflect our own faults upon
our fellow-christians
If we felt as anxious about the saliva
ton of souls as VIC do for the success of
our worldly business and pleasures, but
few ministers of the gospel would find it
necessary to follow worldly vocations to

The FATHER OF THE FoREsT.-Ws
had in our possession few days ago, q
piece of wood taken from the largest,
and probably the oldest tree in the known
world, the Father of the Forest, of Calav-
eras Co., California. This old giant, now
fallen, measures ITO feet in circumfer-
ence at the butt, was 400 feet high, and
by counting the rings'of the cross sections,
1t is ascertained to have been at least three
thousand years old.
What view of the dead past docs this
old tree givel In its younger days it saw
the same sun that had few hours before
looked down on burning Troy, and the
white tents of the victorious Greeks
When King David was leading his war
riors against the Philistines, this tree had
already passed the usual period allotted
to the life Of man. When our ancestors,
scarcely less savage than the wolves
with which they commended for the sub.
sistence which the wild forest afforded,
lived like them in dens, and caves, and
holes in the earth, this old tree had al.
ready passed its prime. One hundred
generations are barely sufic ent to outlivs
the sturdy old Redwood. Jour-

AN INGENIOUS IDEA,--A public din
ner in England had dwindled away to two
guests, an Englishman and Highland
gentleman, who were each trying to prove
the superiority of their native countries.
Of course, at an argument of this kind,
Scotchman possesses, from constant prae!
tice, overwhelming advantages. The High
lander's logic was so good that he beat
his opponent on every point. At last the
Euglishman put poser "You will" he
said, cat least admit that England is lar
ger in extent than Scotland ?" Ger
tainly not,' was the confident reply; "you
see, sir, ours is mountainous, yours a
fiat country. Now, if all onr hills were
rolled out fiat, we should beat you by
hundreds of square miles," This is like
the Vermonter, who claimed that his State
had more land to the acre than any other,
because they set it up edgewise and Guilt
waited both sides.

THE CREDITORS SrRATAGEM -Four
creditors started from Boston 10 the same
train of cars, for the purpose of attach
ing the property Of certain debtor in
Pennington, in the State of Maine. He
owed each one separately, and they each
one were suspicious of the object of the
other, but dared not say word about it.
So they rode, acquaintanoes, all talking
upon everything except that they had
most at heart When they arrived at
the depot at Pennington, which was three
miles from where the debtor did business,
they found nothing to "put 'em over the
road" but solitary cab, towards which
they all rushed. Three got in and re-.
fused admittance to the fourth, and the
cab started. The fourth ran after, and
got up outside with the driver He asked
the driver if he wanted to sell his horse
He replied that he did rot want to--that
ho was not worth more than fifty dollars,
but be would not sell him for that. He
asked him if he would take one hundred
dollars tor him. eyes," said he. The
fourth man quickly paid over the money,
took the rcins, and backed the cab up to
bank, slipped it from the harness, tip.
ped it up SO that the door could not be
opened, and jumped upon the horses
back and rode off, lickaty.switch, while
the insiders were looking out of the via
dows, feeling like singed cats. He rode
to a lawyers and got a writ made and
served and bis debt secure, and got back
to the hotel just as the ''insiders" came
up putting and blowing. The cabman
soon bought back his horse for fifty dol
lars. The "sold' men offered to pay that
sum if the fortunate one, who found prop
erty sufficient to pay his own debt, would
not tell of it. in Boston.

CURIOUS ORIGIN.-Amedee Ponthieu
has written an elaborate article about
the game of "domino," or, as it is often
called, "dominoes," and contends that it
dates back to the sixth century. Two
monks of the celebrated monastery on
Monte Casino, who were confined in the
goal for trifug disobedience, invented in
order to kill the dreary hours of their i'm
prisonmeut, game with small white
square pieces of chalk, into which they
cut small holes, which they colored, and
with which they played. Being watched
by the gaoler Of the monastery, they COM
menced to sing with loud voice the be-
ginning of the psalm "Dixit Dominus Do
mino," as soon as they saw the gaoler COM
ing, and repeated these words until the
dangerous man was gone. After having
been released, they manufactured square
pieces of wood and ivory with black holes,
and sold them to other monks. Thus the
game was soon spread throughout Italy.

Capture and Escape of a Young Lady
from the Camanche Indians,


The Leavenworth Bulletin gives an ac-
count of the capture and escape of Miss
Sarah Jane Luster from the Camanche
Indians, which possesses much interest,"
She was living in Texas with family
named Babb. Some months ago, during
the absence of Mr.. Babb, band Of No.
con-ak Camauches came to, the house. -
They were invited in by the children of
Mrs. Babb, but refused until they were
satisfied that there were no men about the
premises. Then they went in and at
tempted to carry off one of the children.
Mrs. Babb, inspired by mothers love
for her children, resisted, and clung to
her child with desperation, whereupon
one of the savages went up behind her,
seized her by the hair, drew her back and
out her throat. This horrid deed was
committed under the eye of Miss Luster,
who had taken refuge in the upper part of
the cabin, and so shocked her us to cause
a groan ofagony, thus leading to the dis.
covery of her presence. She was imme-
diately captured (eaving a sleeping babe
in the cabin,) and taken to the Indian
camp. Miss Luster formed the heroic
purpose of immediate escape from the
horrors of her captivity. She soon dis
covered horse of great speed, kept for
running purposes by the Indians, and
conceived a plan to mount it, and leave
in a direction from which the Indians had
brought green corn from six days. ab.
sence; thus showing settlement within
three days ride. Her preparations all
complete, she was frustrated by the barking
of the dogs, and compelled to retire to her
lodge. The second effort was made du.
ring dark and stormy night, that drove
both savages and dogs within DOORS
She could not take both the children, but
the oldest, boy, mounted the horse and
left. The first day and night exhausted
the strength of the boy, and he was left
to find his way back, or perish on the
road. After three daysand nights of con-
tinuous riding, she, becoming completely
Frustrated with fatigue and anxiety, tied
the horse by alariat to her body, and laid
down for rest; she fell asleep, to awake
a captive once more to the Indians, this
time to the Kiowas. She was taken to
the camp Of her new captors, only to re-
organize her plans Of escape, preferring
death in her effort for liberty rather than
life in her horrid captivity. Once more
she escaped with her chosen steed, and
after days of weary travel and nights of
sleepless anxiety, reached the Santa Fe
road, sixty miles east of Cow Creek
Colonel Leavenworth Immediately sent an
escort br Dging her to Council Grove
Miss Luster, together with another liberia
ted captive, named John Charles Fremont
Houston, are at Council Grove now. The
latter was captured by small band of
Tau.a-Gway Camanches, or liver-eaters;
and was rescued from them by Tab-a-nam-
AGA, head chief of the Yam. per-re. ker, or
root eaters, and delivered by him to Col.
Leavenworth, from whom we learn that
both of these escaped captives are en-
route to this city.

Old times, old times, how every thought
Goes rushing back to that sweet time,
When youth, simplicity and love
Held sway, instead of war and crime
How blest and happy were we then,
Dark thoughts of evil had not come
To mar and blight our happy lives,
Beneath our old and cherished home.
Each flower that b!oomed, each blade tina
grew,
Each leaf that trembled on the tree,
And every warbler's note We heard,
Seemed pure as all else then to be.
But U what deeds of wrong and crime
Have blackened since earth's fairest spot,
Fathers and sons and brothers fought
And died, and now are near forgot.
Mothers have clasped their only child,
And bid lingering, long farewell;
Sisters, with holy tears of love,
Have come their unfeigned grief to tell
Children have stopped amid their mirth,
And gathered rolnd their mothers knee,
And mingled there their tears with hers,
For those they never more could see.
And some have sought in other climes
~ Dcaeeiui sPot W pour tueir Rriel,
But where, when all that's loved is lost,
Can the weary heart then find relief?
Widows with emaciated forms
In sable CARDS before us rise,
Orphans with figures gaunt and wild
Our crimes have caused, beside us die.
e 0 sin-cursed earth, unhappy land,
Shall virtue ever DER thee reign,
Will peace and love and joy return
And friends and brethren meet again7
Come back, o happy days, come back,
Too good to die, too bright to. last,
And let long years of peace and JOY
Wash out the dark stains of the past.
