When to this is added the hurricane.
which in the delta Of the Amazon is
extremely violent, the agitation of the
contending forces Of nature is SO great
as to surpass the widest ocean storm.
Until the application of steam
power to the navigation of this river
its beauties we're to the world a hid
den paradise, and former rulers seem
ed inclined to keep them so. Alex
ander Won Humboldt, in his early ex-
plorations of this country, aeclared
that in few centuries the valley of
the Amazon would be the centre of
civilization and the desire of the
world. And it would really seem that
the government of Brazil had feared
that if the eyes of strangers rested
on these shores they would lust after
them as to endeaVor to obtain them.
But of late years better counsels have
been steadily gaining ground, and
emigration has been encouraged in
the province of the Upper Amazon,
bordering on Peru. .
But all accesslons from this quarter
have proved in a region of such
boundless extent but a drop in the
sea. The present Emperor, Don
Pedro H., has long cherished the CON
viction that Brazil must open its great
streams to the commerce of the
world; but the political complica-
tons of the last ten years have oper-
atad against such a measure. There
were differences with Peru, unsettled
questions with France, conflict with
England about some of her naval Off
GERS, and lastly a trouble with the
United States on account Of harboring
the rebel privateer Florida in the
port Of Bahia; all of them questions
greatly affected by free navigation
of her waters.
But these questions are all or near
ly all settled, and as it would seem at
the earliest moment, the Emperor,
doubtless somewhat influenced by the
very favorable report of Agassiz, has
declared the Amazon free to the navi-
cation OF the world after September
of the present year, And not only
here has he shown his wisdom, but in
the province of Bahia, where the
Francisco river is also open, and
gives free access to an extensive and
region.-HOurS at Home.

lions struggle, and throughout q long
paSlic life against bitter per-
secutions, and in fearful minorities,
notwithstanding all my faults, /
have constantly, unvaryin ely, and al
ways been true to the Republican par
ty, and to the principles Of human
freedom. l am not and never have
been the advocate of drinking; for,
though alcohol may be useful as a
medicine, and in some other respects,
vet it kills more than it cures, and is
much more productive of misery than
of benefit to mankind. And were it
in my power would at one fell sweep
blot it from the face of the earth, and
obliterate the knowledge of making it
from the breasts of mankind.
We performed a painful duty when
in a recent editorial we called upon
him to resign his seat. The people
of the Weston States are determined
that no drunkard shall represent them
in the Senate Chamber. We doubt if
politicians are aware of the intensity
of the feeling The nation has been
disgraoed by maudling babblings and
rufian-like clustering in its chief
places, its Senate has been polluted,
and it will no longer tolerate the gross
wickedness.
We said then and say now that we
would go a thousand miles to help
Senator Yates up from his fall. Oh,
it is sad-pititully sad to see a man
a stdye, cringing bondman, chained
slave for want of will, slave because
he does not goto God for help.
We have no hope that he will re-
form unless he becomes true Chris
tian, converted after the old style.
AS we demanded in behalf of the
people his resignation, we give his
answer and refer it the people, only
adding that Illinois will be glad, more
than glad, if the man she has honored
proves worthy of her confidence. She
has all the old affection, but her conf
dence has been weakened:
Il am not so welded to political
life as to desire to remain in office
longer than my friends desire, but 1
have never abandoned any post of duty
assigned me, and shall not leave my
present one before the expiration of
my term while single stain rests
upon my honor as Senator. Such an
act would be cowardly, disgraceful to
you and myself, reproach to my
children who depend upon me for de-
tense of their good name-an act
which can only be compared to sui
side. Besides, l feel that have not
yet accomplished all l owe to my State,
and am determined to cancel part of
the debt. Notwithstanding your justi-
fable distrust lookng to God, my
family, my State, and my high duty, L
shall net despair, but look forward to
an unclouded future"

when Fanny died in her German
home, Felix, amidst happy company
in England, suddenly aware of some
terrible calamity. from the disturbance
of equilibrium and dread sinking of his
soul, rushed to the piano, and poured
out his anguish in an improvisation of
wailing and mysterious strains, which
held the assembly spell-bound and in
tears. La few days letter reached
him, announcing that his sister had
died at that very hour. On receiving
the tidings he uttered a shrek, and
the shock was so great as to burst
blood vessel in his brain. Life had no
charm potent enough to staneh and
heal the cruel laceration left in his al
ready failing frame by this sundering
blew. The web of torn fibres bled
invisibly. He soon faded away, and
followed his sister to a world of finer
melody, fitted for natures like theirs.

Caste in New England.

AT the New England Conference
recently held in Boston there was read
and adopted report from committee
on our Southern missionary work
strongly condemning caste, asking the
General Conference to take the en-
barge from Bishop Roberts, and urg-
ing the Bishops to discountenance BY
their Episcopal acts the caste spirit.
Bishop Ames, after the adoption of the
report, said that he admired the New
England brethren. They spoke out
fearlessl y their convictions. He had
seen the forerunner of this report in
editorial papers in lions Herald, and
supposing it might be the pleasure of
the New England Conference to move
in such direction he had while in the
South consulted several of our colered
preachers to ascertain their mind rela
tive to the work in the North. He
was now prepared to say to the Con-
ference that he would crafty their
best wishes in the case. He was
ready to transfer eight or ten oolored
preachers to their Conference, and
station them in their congregations.
The announcement was received with
applause. But there it ended. None
asked that such transfers be made.
The next morning the bishop said
to the Conference that he feared they
had received his promise of the day
before only as little pleasantly. But
he wished them to know that he was
in earnest. Their resolutions invited
such ransfers-invited the Bishops to
break down the evil of caste-.and the
Bishops were in the habit of conform
ing, as far as practicable, to Confer
ence resolutions. When at this stage
it became necessary that something
must be done, our qucndam friend, the
editor of Zioa's Herald, offered reso-
luton expressing their willingness to
receive such transfers, when it was
thought TO be good for the work.
What lapse from the anti-caste
resolution of the day before But
even this diluted affair could not pass.
A spirited debate sprung up and ar
rested it. At last the mover and
others modified it so as to say they
would receive colored preachers when |
recommended by the Quarterly Con-
ferences of their charges, or when |
they were petitioned for by the people. |
The Bishop now said that he was much
obliged to them for their action. 1t |
Endorsed what the Bishops all along
been doing, and what he understood |
their former action to disapprove.
Will not the reader think it strange
that the editor of lions Herald, who
deals such trenchant blows against |
caste everywhere outside of Boston |
aud New England, absolutely becomes
the apologist of this caste action! |
The whole thing is milk and water
affair, and it takes shape and body |
from his pen. And he really attaches |
virtue to the back down condition
''when invited or recommended by our
quarterly Conferences" ct tn Brute. |
Alas, that Wanted self-excelleney
should have such humiliating down
fall Zion'S Herald owes it to COM
mon sense to remain silent on caste |
At least, let it go through !
a good long probation before it again
lifts its voice ON a subject on which |
its words and actions hitherto have
been as various and uncertain as
the changing winds.-PiHSbnrg Chris

The Life and Death of Mendels-
sohn and His Sister.

Iron Ayers Friendships Of Women
The union of Felix and Fanny Men
delssohn was something wonderful,
like the wonderful genius of sensibility
and music which endowed them both.
Such pure, tender, and noble souls are
made for each other. The more fervid
and exacting bonds Of marriage and
parentage did not interfere with the
profound sympathy in which they lived,
both when together and when apart.
They correspondent in music. Their
emotions, too deep and strange to be
conveyed in words, like artioulate
thoughts, they expressed in tones.
Seating themselves at their instru-
ments, they would for hours carry on
an intercourse perfectly ineligible to
each other, and more adequate and
delicious than any vocal conversation.
When Felix, at Naples, at Rome, or in
London, sent to Fanny a letter. COM
posed in notes, she translated 1t first
with her eyes, then with her piano.
The most charming transcripts Of
these affectionate and musical souls
were thus made In music. SWeeter
or more divinely gifted beings have
rarely appeared on this earth. Their
relations Of spirit were sensitive and
organic, far beneath tho reach Of in
telleotual consciousness. They SEEM
ed able 70 communicate tidings
through the ethereal medium by some
subtle telegraphy Of feeling which
trascends understanding, and belonga

Talmudic Maxims.

Professor Stowe, in his paper on the
Talmud, read before the New En-
gland Historical Genealogical Soci-
ETY., at its recent meeting, gave some
interesting specimens of the maxims
and proverbs contained in thata won
derful collection. We transfer few
Of the pithiest:
If you speak in the night, speak
softly if you speak in the daytime,
look around you before you speak,
What business is it of yours to
search into the mysteries of God.
If you want leader. look for man
who has nose. (The Jews, by the
way, had great ropugnance to pug
noses.)
In the pot in which you cook, you
will yourself be cooked.
The camel aspired after horns, and
the Lord took away his ears.
On defense of early marriage.) IF
l had married at fourteen, l should
have said to the Devil, There, you
have "a sharp stick in your eye"
The man is fire, the woman tow,
And the Devil comes the Goals to blow.
1.-THE Professor read it, "blow the
Goals" but a good couplet is made by
a slight change in position.
While the rabbi was fasting, the
dogs stole his dinner.
Of the field that we reap prema-
turely, even the staw is good for
nothing.
Great is the value of labor, and it
honors those who devote themselves
to it.
The speoulator puts his money on
stag's horns.
Wo to him who builds a big door
and has no house behind it.
While Noah was planting his vine
yard, the devil came to him and
said - What are you doing here !"
Noah replied: Planting a vine
yard. +" "What is the use Of vine
yard ?" inquired the devil; said
Noah Its fruit, whether fresh or
dry (grepes or raisins}, is sweet
and good and its wine gladdens the
heart" Let US work it on shares"
says the devil" agreed" says
Noah. Now what does the devil
do? He brings lamb, a lion, a
hog, and a monkey, sacrifices them,
and mingles the blood with the soil.
Therefore, if man eats only of the
fruit Of the vineyard, he is as inno-
cent and nice as lamb; if he drinks
wine he thinks himself lion when
he is not, and falls into mischief;
if he drinks habitually he becomes
as selfish and as unmannerly as
hog; if he gets drunk, he jabbers
and jumps about, and is silly and
nasty like a monkey.

have 4 waist Of twenty-four inches,
alady Eve feet three Inches high, should
have a waist measuring twenty-five
and a quarter inches; and one five feet
Eve inches should have waist Of TWEEN
ty-six inches. One five feet seven
inches about twenty-six and three
quarter inches, and one FIVE feet eight
inches waist of twenty and a
quarter inches. We saw lady of me-
dunn height few days since, whose
waist could not have been over eight
cen inches. We looked at her in pity,
and drew full breath in sympathy for
her, knowing that she could not. AT
the same time we judged her to be
light in the upper story" Now,
what should be the height of a lady
with such waist? Precisely three
feet and eleven inches, the height of a
small child.
But it may be said that some persons
are short and stout, and some tall and
slender. In these cases where the per-
sons are stout there must be the right
proportion between the breath of the
shoulders and the waist. Comprising
the waist destroys this proportion and
INJURIES the form, even though the peo-
pie are stout.
It may be source of relief to young
ladies who are torturing themselves
by tight laclng, in order to lessen the
size Of their waists, to tell them that
conference.-the more sensible ones,
at least-do not admire small waists,
though from some remarks at times
it might be inferred that they do. But
they simply admire the lady, and
knowing that it will please her to speak
of her waist being small, they make
use of such remarks. But should
they speak their minds freely, which
they do not for fear of offending, they
would express a contrary opinion.
They would tell them that they were
deformcd that they were following
foolish and hurtful practice, etc.
And now, young ladies, remember
this; that with the intelligent young
man who knows anything about physi-
ology, in the selection of wife, the
lady who is unlaced and undeformed
