GEN. JACKsoN's REMAINS. The
project tor removing the remains OF
Andrew jackson from their resting
place at the Hermitage to The Capl,
tol grounds at Nashville. Tenn, has
received check by the reproduction
of an old letter of the Generals, writ
ten during his last illness. In it he
wrote: 81 have prepared an humble
depository for my mortal body beside
that wherein lies my beloved wife,
where, without any pomp or parade,
| have requested, when my God calls
me 10 sleep with my fathers, to be laid,
for both of us there TO remain until
the last trumpet sounds that calls the
dead to judgment, when We ! hope,
shall rise together, clothed with that
heavenly body promised to all who
believe in our glorious Redeemer,
who died for US that we might live,
and for whose atonement | hope for
a blessed Immortality.

ICoNoCLAsM. Don Quixote took a
tilt at the wind-miils, but the editor
of the Courier-Journal charges church
steeples. He asks: Why not abolish
the church steeples? Is there any
part of a building so useless as stee-
pie? 1t can neither be constructed
nor kept in repair without great dan
ger to human life, and it doesn't look
well after the best that can be done
for it has been done. As il heaven
itself were protesting against the folly
ofthis unsightly heap, scarcely a thun'
der storm passes over the country
which does not hurl its bolts against
some church steeple. During a storm
this sammer in New jersey, a steeple
was struck three times in succession.
The other day lightning struck the
steeple of chuLch in Ohio, and nine
women we're prostrated, fve Of whom
may never recover. Why should we
set up targets for the lightning?-
Even if the road to heaven really
lies through the atmosphere, We have
surer guides to it than church spires.
We would be gamers by building our
churche. on modest plans. The story
of the tower of Babel is quite enough
to show that heaven is brought no
nearer by building high in she air.

I CotRTING AND DIvORCE.-An old
story contains a lesson which many
married couples have not yet learned.
When Jonathan Trumbull was Gov
ernoro Connecticut,a gentleman call
ed ut his house one day requesting a
private interview. He said al have
called upon very unpleasant errand,
sir. and want your advice. My wife
aud | do not live happily together.
and am thinking of getting a di-
vorce. What DO you advise me to
do?
The Governor sat a few moments
in thought then turning to his visi-
tor and said, chow did you treat Mrs.
W., when YOU were coarting her?
and how did you feel toward her at
the time OF your marriage :"
Squire w, replied, | treated her
as kindly as | could, for | loved her
dearly at that time"
"Well, sir" said the Governor, ego
home and court her now just as YOU
did then, and love her as when you
married her. Do this in the fear OF
God for one year, and then tell me
result"
The Governor then said, 'Iet US
pray"
They bowed in prayer aud separat-
ed. When a year passed away,
Squire W., called again to see the
Governor, and said: 81 have called
to thank you for the good advice you
gave me, and to tell you that my
wife and ! are as happy as when first
we we're married. ] can not be CRATE
ful enough for your counsel 81 am
glad to hear it Mr.. W., said the Gov
ernor, "and L hope you will continue
to court your wife as long as you
live"

A SWELL AT THE GALLONS. The
first Earl of Holland was great
dandy, who played a prominent and
not altogether reputable part in the
history of his time. He was a favor.
ite at the courts of James ], and
Charles l., but when the civil war
broke out he at first sided with the
parliament against the king. In an
unlucky hour he went over to the
royalist side, TOOK up arms against
the Commonwealth, was defeated,
made prisoner, put to trial, and duly
sentenced to lose his head. lie sp-
peared upon the scaHold in a white
satin vest and cap trimmed with silver
lace. His costly garments were the
lawful perquisites of the executioner,
to whom the earl said, as he approach
ed the block: "Here, my friend, let
my body and my clothes alone; there
is ten pounds for thee that is better
than my clothes, ! am sure. And
when YOU lake up my head, do not
take off my cap" Then, laying MS
neck upon the block, he added {;
Stay, while | give the sign" After
a brief PRAYER he stretched out hIs
hand, saying, "Now ! nox" The
word had hardly left his lips when
the axe fell, and the head was sever
ed from the body at a single stroke.

RARE GEMS AND THEIR VALUE.

RARE GEMS AND THEIR VALUE
Mr.. ellison has recently concluded a
Journey round the world, which he
made for the purpose of ascertaining
the condition of the trade in gems.
In an article in the st. Petersburg
Gazette he states the result of his in
vestigations. Diamonds he found at
a lower rate than they have reached
in ten years past. Pearls and emer-
aids are, on the other hand, at a
premium. An opal the size of an
average olive would bring in New
York, at the present time, about 81
800; sapphire of the same size would
briog 81, $50; an emerald, $500;
a diamond, 1850; and ruby,
s37,5OO. In Europe these gems
would rank somewhat differently,
opals and sapphires rating higher and
emeralds lower. Pearls are now
brought from Central America. Cali
fornia and the Persian Gulf, but
none of them rival those of the East
Indies. About s5,250,000 Of dia
monds are annually imported from
South America into Europe, and the
same into America. Many of these
are of good size, and most have a yell
lowish tinge. In consequence of this
importation, diamonds Of the same
hue have fallen 70 per cent, in the
market. They would have fallen
still lower were it not that the enorm-
Gus fortunes realized IN America
through petroleum and military con-
tracts have created an excessive de-
mand. But this effect upon the val
ue of the stones may be considered
merely temporary. A similar depre-
citation in their price occurred at the
discovery of the diamond mines in
Brazil-Golconda having previously
supplied the market-but they soon
regaiued their value.

How A PASTOR WAS DUPED.
New York correspondent of the Bos-
ton Journal writes: "Men and wo-
rnen get Goals, liquors, house rent,
and rides in the park from a system
attic begging for coffin or shroud. or
money to bury poor women or
dead child. At eventide, between
dawn and dark, the meditations of a
city pastor were disturbed by the ell
trance of a woman. She was out at
service, she said, and could only catch
odd hours to get out. She attended
the pastors church, and with CON-
panion. sat among the lowly in the
gallery. Both had been converted
the past winter; both wished to be
baptized. The sickness of her friend
prevented it, and now she had just
died. Her companion wished her to
call upon the pastor, thank him for
his faithfulness, thank him for the
great benefits she had derived from
his preaching, and to bear her dying
request that he should attend her fu-
neral. The street, house, aud time
was mentioned. The girl wept, and
the pastor was deeply affected. The
little money of both had been ex-
hausted in the sickness and the prep
arations for the funeral. Everything
was ready but the grave. Was there
any society that helped to bury the
dead? There was none. But the
pastor opened his pocket book and
promptly rendered five dollars to
complete the arrangements for the
funeral. The girl would not touch
it-would not think of such a thing.
After an earnest plea on the pastors
part, the visitor would take it only as
q loan, to be returned in a short time,
and with many thanks, she departed.
The pastor entered the remarkable
case in his note book, with which to
refresh the saints when they came to-
gether. He took a carriage, and
started for the funeral. He found
the street and the house very easily,
but, alas no corpse. Nobody was
sick-nobody had died the girl was
not to be found, and the whole was
deliberate plan to get out of the min
ister five dollars, and the plan was a
success"

day last, two brothers, William and
Lewis Lifts, started together on a
hunting expedition. A short time af-
terwards Lewis returned and said that
his gun had accidentally discharged
and killed his brother. The two

it is supposed that Lewis murdered

and he ehall conform to the order Of the church
to which ho Is transferred Where particular
churches OF either body are in locations much
more convenient for connection with Classis
or Presbytery belonging to the other, it ia recon-
mended to them to seek . transfer in such way
as shall be in conformity with tho regulations Of
both denominations. And whenever it may be
deemed advisable for students OF theology Of
either body to pursue their studies in institutions
Of the other, it will be regarded with hearty ap-
probation by both. And students who have pur-
seminarles of either Church shall bo placed on
al equal footing before tho Presbyteries and
Glasses of the other.
