THE STEAMER, city Of Boston left New
York for Europe, fifty-threc days ago,
with over two hundred passengers, As
yet, nothing has been heard of the miss
ing vessel, and though some few yet have
hope. 1t is generally believed that the
vessel has foundered at sea, and that all
on board have been lost. A despatch
announcing her safe arrival at Queens
town, was joyfully telegraphed all over
the country, few days since, but it event
ually turned out a cruel hoax.

Romantic Story of a Remarkable Piece
of Human Hair.

A magnificent piece of human hair-the
largest, finest and most valuable in America
lis now hanging In the window of Thomp-
son u Co., in Canal street, near Broadway.
1t is of dark brown hue, soft as silk,
weighs seven ounces, and is sixty-tour
inches IN length-five feet four inches.
On medium-sized woman, this would
sweep the floor The longest piece of hair
on record, exhibited at the London Expo
sition of 1851, belonged to Leon Pellery,
of Paris, and was six feet in length. The
story of this one that measures sixty four
inches Is rather romantic. It came from
the head of Swabian peasant girl,
who had two suitors for
her hand, one poor farm hand,
who earned six kreutzers a day, and the
other a rich miller. The miller owned the
cottage in which the Swabian girl and her
widowed mother lived, and being as selfish
and unscrupulous as he was wealthy, threat
ened to drive his tenants out OF their home
unless his suit was successful, although
they had already paid part of the price de-
manded for the cottage, and were saving
and working to pay the remainder. In
this emergency travelling hair merchant
appeared in the village, and sooner than
marry the wealthy miller, or on the other
ha Id have her aged mother driven from
hou and home, she determined upon the
sacrifice of her beautiful hair It was tax

for Sl75 to an American dealer, and from
his hands found its way to its present own.

A Maine paper has the following letter,
dated at Wilton, in that state:
Timothy Woodward, Esq, whose nine
tieth birthday occurs to-day January 18th,
is one of the notable men of the time.
Notwithstanding his extreme age he retains
his faculties and bodily powers to remark
able degree. Bach season of the year we
find him engaged in the various employ
ments of the farm. For a number of years
he has not used the scythe, but the hoe,
rake and axe he still wields with extraordi-
nary vigor. For some years past he II as
begun early after haying to cut the winter
supply of frewood; cutting it sled-length,
neatly piling up the brush, and laving the
wood in piles, so as to be handy to load up
on the sled. The last season he has cut
full thirty cords of hard wood, making a
huge pile at the door, upon which he daily
labors with axe and saw, fitting it for the
fire. He is still an early riser, builds his
own fire through all weathers, and daily,
at sunrise, noues down the temperature and
state of the weather in book kept for that
purpose. He takes lively interest in all
questions of the day, particularly in mat
ters pertaining to our own State. He is
still great reader, and possessing a reten,
tive memory, his mind is richly stored with
useful knowledge.

tanned by Chinese officials that the
missionaries may $50 influence
the lower classes as to interfere with their
supremacy" what becomes of the oft-reit-
Grated assertion that Protestant missions
are producing no impression on the Chi
nese people? Their statistics, as given in
arecent number of the Chinese Magazine,
publis ed at Fuchau, show membership
of about 6,000-an increase of more than
ten-fold in twenty years, and nearly double
the number reported three years ago.
Whether for good or for evil they are going
ahead, and it will not do to charge them
with selfindulgent ease and ineficieney
Indeed, if their success continue in the
same ratio for a few years longer, as no
convert IS allowed to smoke opium, it is
easy to see that they may interfere eventu-
ally with what the English missionaries
confess to be the ''main branch" of their
country's commerce.

RELIGIOUS REvIvALs ON LONG ISLAND. -
The religious revivals continue in many Of
the villages on Long Island, and are daily
Increasing. At Sag Harbor meetings are
held in the Methodist, Presbyterian and
Baptist churches, and many members have
been added to the church. Last Wednes-
day was observed as day of fasting in that
village; sermons were preached in the
Methodist and Presbyterian churches in the
morning, and prayer-meetings were held in
the afternoon and evening. The sick and
aged members of the Presbyterian church
were visited at their homes, and religious
sympathy expressed for their welfare. The
day was also observed in Southampton as a
day of fasting and prayer.
At Aqueboque, Jamesport and Patchogue
reyivals are in progress, and large numbers
have been added to the churches at those
places.
At Jamaica large numbers have recently
been baptized, and, in fact, throughout the
island general revival is taking place.

z AHLY LOVE.

hen years have rolled their lengths along,
With mingled JOY and pain,
nd sunbeams leave our horizon,
And falls the gentle rain;
. When clouds obscure our skies, once blue,
And care and sorrow blend,
And fate has proved to us so false,
So changeable friend
We love to wander back in life, ~
Ger memory's sunny plain,
And live our happy childhood Ger,
Our early loves again.
And from communion sweet we find
New strength to crap le with
The crosses and the burdens which
Our daily lives must give;
And Hope points us to look above
This world of care and strife,
To that blest home in Heaven above,
Where there's immortal life
Where disappointments cannot come,
Nor care, nor grief, nor pain,
Where We will meet in endless bliss
Our early loves again.

The Village Pastor.

In the retired villages of our land, the
pastor often becomes source of civiliza-
ton and refinement 10 those around him.
His simple an unpretending manners; his
house, with it's modest ornaments; his gar
den, tended and decked by the hand of
taste; these lmpart some relish for i'm
provement among his poorer and rud-
er neighbors. But further, he is ev-
er at hand to relieve, to instruct, to
advise, and to condole his flock
His purse, scanty as it often is, admins
ters to their Temporal wants; and he is yet
more their benefactor by organizing and
conducting plans more Systematically for
their relief. His influence may arrest the
heavy arm or soften the bard heart that
would oppress them. His superior knowl-
edge gui1es them through difficulties,
where no other friend is near to give them
counsel. His authority composes their
little feuds and jealousies. His words of
sympathy and consolation soothe their dis
tresses. His vigilant eye marks their first
deviations from rectitude, and brings back
the yet unhardened and reclaimable trans
gressor into the path of innocence. He is,
in the great majority ofinstances, aided by
partner, whose cooperation is by so much
the more valuable, as her habits qualify her
for every task of gentleness and mercy,
more especially when she has to deal with
the sick or the afflicted, the ignorant or the
vicious, of her own sex.
