THE SOULS REST.


BIZ A. ALPHosso DAYTON.
When all things sweet are past and all desire
Lies hushed within the souls adytum deep,
ROBBED in the vcstment ofeternal sleep,
Too calm to waken, too profound to tire,
With no new wish, no passion to inspire
A dream of what the coming day may bring,
When laughing streams throb in the pulse Of
Spring
And Winter melts beneath the sunsets fire,
What then shall ease the unforgotten painl
Still lingering with its depth of sad regret,
The weory heart strives vainly to forget,
As Time reveals its vanished days again.
Shall Peace with snowy pinions hover low
And bear the soul away through shadowy night,
To bathe in some sweet fountain of delight,
Where everlasting roses bud and blowl
All! when the sin-sick soul shall feel the breath
And fragrance of those petals softly blown
Between the Triune glories of the Throne.
And feel their balm upon the wound of Death,
Its voice will burst in thrills of rapture sweet.
Amid the asphodels at Jesus feet

Distribution OF Supplies in ChIca-

The system Of reliefinaugurated Thurs
day, appears now to be working with the
most gratifying smOOihness, for which the
Relief and Aid Society is deserving Of
the warmest admiration. Though colossal
10 its proportions, and labyrinthine in its
intricacy, it is almost self-directing. The
impulse once given, every piece of ma
chinery is set in permanent motion. BY
Saturday, it is believed that every ap-
plicant will be recognized and registered !;
every busbel of -four, every pound Of
meat, every cent Of money, will be also
registered, and its distribution strictly
accounted for.
Meantime the amount Of provisions in
store at the great depots is gradually J
diminishing. At the warehouse of Tobey
& Booth, corner ofGrove aud Eighteenth.
Sts., very large quantity of provisions
is in store. Tho warehouse is a model OF
neatness and order, and carefully guard
ed. The work of receiving here was en-.
trusted to Gen. Hardee, U. S. A. He
has endeavored as much as possible to
concentrate the depots. There are al
present three general receiving centres,-
the warehouse referred to, Shaw's pack
ing house, at the foot of Twenty FRS
street, and tho West Side Rink. Thes,
contain all the provisions in the city, ant
supply the direct centres on orders.
There are at present in store the fol
lowing supplies: Flour and breadStufs
1000 bbls f; meat, 10000 lbs; stoves
800; blankets, 100000; clothing, 55t
cases potatoes, $500 bushels; mattress
es, 600; and large amount of soap anc
miscellaneous articles. From this it viii
be seen that, while there is large an,
promising supply of brcadstufs, the mea
and small groceries are not as plentiful a
could be desired. However. a rigi
economy will be brought to bear, an
none but the needy will be assisted. Thcr
are at present rations for 1900 per
sons for one day, or for about 35, 900 pei
sons for four days, which is supposed t
be an approximate estimate Of the numbe
needing succor.-Chtcago Trtbume, 1871

PREAcHER.--HIs RETURN TO THE METHo-
DIST CnuRcH.-Rev. W. H. Milburp, the

Episcopal Church and reunited with the
Methodist denomination. He has ad-

of this discese
JACKSONVILLE, ILL, Sept. %, 1871.
Right Reu. w. HI. A. BiSSel, ID. ID.
Bishop of Vermont: .aia
RIGHT REVEREND AND DEAR SIR =
For reasons which seemed weigbty and
sufficient, l determined in 1864 to quit
Methodism and to enter the Protestant
Episcopal Church, and was ordained dea-
con in 1865, and presbyter in 1866, by
your venerated and beloved predecessor,
the great and good Bishop Hopkins. As
[ have not since then removed my canoni.
cal residence from Vermont, l address
this communication to you, Right Rever-
ed Sir, as my Bishop. A connection of
seven years with your Church has satisf.
ed me that | made mistake in entering
it. When man finds that he has taken
false step, the only right course left
him is to retract his way, l therefore
propose to return TO the communion of my
fathers, in which | was born and nurtur-
ed. and in which | hope to end my days.
Ip taking farewell Of your branch of the
Church | cannot torbear to express my
grateful sense of the numberless acts of
Kindness which | have received from
many of the bishops, clergy, and laity /;
nor can | withhold the statement that
within her pale have met many of the
most sweet, noble and Cody men and
women it has ever been my happiness to
know. Unspeakably precious are the
treasures which | have found in the daily
use of the book Of Common Prayer and
| trust that the fellowship begun with SO
many of your people with whom | have
taken sweet counsel, if interrupted here,
may be renewed in that world where l.,
who for so many years have walked be-
meath darkeped sun, hope to see the
King in His beauty, and to behold the
land that is far off. / trust that the
manifold good influences which | have re.
ceived during my stay in the Protestant
Episcopal church will abide with me for.
ever and that my character may be
quickened and hallowed by the beautiful
|, examples of piety which | have seen with
in her pale. But as one advances il
years he finds it hard to form new attach
ments. and the heart turns with inexpress
ible longing to the friends sand associations
of earlier days. Nothing has obliterated
nothing can obliterate, my deep and yearn
ing love of Methodism, the spiritual moth
who, under God, bred and made me what
| am.
With the utmost respect for yourself
, and sentiments of lifelong affection fol
many dear and cherished friends, who's
, ecclesiastical connection | am quitting,
, beg leave herewith to tender my resigna
ton of the ministry in your church, an'
subscribe myself right reverend and dea
sir, your obediept servant.

The Public Debt.

The fact that the Public Debt statement
from month to month shows material reduc.
ton in amount, has come to be regarded as a
matter of course, and attracts little or no at
tention In the month of June the reduction
amounted to more than seven millions of dol
lars. A similar result from month to month
shows conclrsiyely that further reduction of
taxation at the next session will be perfectly
safe and judicious TO continue at the pres.
ent rate is not demanded by any interest of
the country, aud would be repugnant to sound
policy.
The reduction made by the last Congress
amounted to eighty millions, 1t did wisely
in not going any farther, because it was i'm.
possible to predict precisely what revenue
would be produced under the new adjustment.
1t was certainly as important to guard against

The present surplus, as indicated by the
