THE CLORIES OF HEAVEN.

How its gates are of jasper and streets pure gold
And we all are invited to come.
No sunlight is there. nor the moons softer rays,
But the light of Gods countcnance lights it always
Tis our glorious heavenly home.
Whilst the river of life flowing out from the throne,
We need never give way to despair.
We may wash IN that stream of the blood of the lamb
And be purified wholly from guilt and from shame,
BY the blood of atonement and prayer.
On that throne up high, sits the Ancient of days.
Whilst the great Hosts Heaven give glory and praise
To him who once died for our race.
ANA the great Hosts of angels and saints are told
give praise to our saviour with harpS of pure gOd
In that bcauteous and glorious place.
Hosts of martyrs are there who have died for the
truth,
But are now clothed in glory renewing their youth
In the floods of that heavenly light.
And the river flows on, whilst its branches extend
I'LL at last Satan'S kingdom must come TO an end,
And the gospel march on in its might.
Till the earth is the Lords and the nations shall own
That all honor is due him who sits on the throne
Placed on high at the Fathers right hand.

"PRoGREss AMONGST Our CoLoRED PEo.
PLE.-The New York Nation of last week,
in commenting upon Mr.. Windom's resolu-
ton in regard to promoting the emigration
of colOred people, notes the fact that Mr.
Window overlooks a great deal of negro
emigration that has been and still is going
on under the influence of economical mo-
tives. "That is to say" says the Nation,
which can always be cruelty frank when its
own individual interest does not seem to
suffer, "the negroes do move about great
deal in pursuit of cheaper or better land or
higher wages, and it is a remarkable fact
that to this emigration the States in which
there has been most bulldozing-such as
Louisiana and Mississippi-have been most
attractive, because land can be had in them
most readily. The explanation of this is
that the great body of the negroes really
trouble themselves very little about politics
so long as they have fair security for person
and property, which they have in as high a
degree as the white man all over the South
except about election time" The Nation
adds that we have had many inquiries into
the political condition of the blacks, "but
nothing would do so much good just now
as an inquiry by competent commission
into their social economical condition, with
the view of ascertaining the progress they
are making in acquiring property and edu.
cation"

Women as Preachers.

Women as preachers? Certanly-why
not? What profession so ancient and
honorable, what calling so well adapted to
her gentler nature, and the exercises Of
her God-glven virtues, as the ministry.
We have our female lawyers, and shrewd
lurists they have proved themselves to be.
We have our female doctors-and only
eternity may tell the good that they have
done in all their self-sacrifces, and devot-
ed patience, and tenderest care of suffering
humanity; where is the man-who, though
skeptic once, dares raise his hand now
against their following this profession,
knowing as he must the good that they
have done! We have our female orators,
historians, artists, scientists, and critics
and do they not prove themselves proficient
in all these separate departments. There
is scarcely field of labor that woman has
not entered in some capacity, and always
acquitted herself with such quiet dignity,
and unselish devotion to purpose as to win
the sincereSt regard and appreciation of
Jealous man. But there has been one
sphere of usefulness strangely debarred her,
and hedged about with curious obstacles to
her admissiOn,-t ministry. Men seem to
conceive Of some dire disaster following in
the train of women preachers, often their
objections are as ridiculous as false, and not
one in ten of woman's inyeterate foes to her
ministerial advancement, is capable of de.
Tending satisfactorily his position. Yet
this is the profession Of all professions best
calculated to draw out the finest sentiments
of the woman's exalted mind,-best suited
to the full expansion and harmonious
working of her peculiar mental endow-
ments, and the one in which she could
WELD the most majestic influence. TO
those who doubt the strength of our asser-
| tions, and who interpret the expressions of
! Scriptures as condemning the preaching of
women, we would suggest few facts for
consideration. The annunciation Of the
resurrection, luke, 24,22-24) and both
the first appearances of Christ were made
to women-why these visions to woman
and not to man, if man alone was to preach
! His Gospel! And so we find tracing down
through Biblical history to the present day
without here enumerating the many pas.
sages that speak of woman's prominence
and favor, is that she has been among the
most Jealous missionaries, most patient fol
lowers, and most sincere of workers O
those in the Masters Cause. BLANCHE.

The GAMBLING LADY.-A lady of rank in
Paris died three weeks ago. in the fashion
able quarter of the Are de Triomphe, of
whom an interesting story is told. She
was famous card-player, and was credited
with knowing every game there was to
know. When travelling in foreign land
she met, one day, in a hotel, Russian lady
with that passion for gambling said to be
inherent in the Russian nation. Anxious
to play with the lady from Paris, she
wrote requesting few games. Her re-
quest was granted, and the ladies played
all night, the Russian losing at every hand,
until her opponent had won from her more
money than the mines in the Ural had pro-
duCed for her revenues in twenty-five
years. At last the Russian lady made a
despairing effort to regain her fortune, but
without avail. Rising from the table,
she told the French lady how she had lost
more than she possessed, but that in her
desire to pay debt of honor she would in
struct her steward to convey to her the
title deeds of all the mines and estates she
owned. AT this the victorious antagonist
smiled and requested that she might have
her own way in the matter, since she had
won. A priest and lawyer were sent for.
When they arrived, the Russian lady was
asked to bind herself by q solemn oath
never again to touch a card or risk money
at any game of chance. She did so, and
then signed an engagement to pay her an
tagonist the annual sum of $1,000. The
VOW never to play cards for money again
she faithfully kept, and the $4,000 was
punctually paid every year, the French
lady giving it the name of the "Queen oi
Spades Bounty" and invariably giving it to
the poor of Paris.

A STARTLING FACT FOR FARMERs.-Over
half million of people have emigrated
from the East and settled on the new lands
of the West in the year just passed.
Allowing an average of twenty-five acres to
each person, l2,500,000 acres of new lands
were brought into cultivation, and putting
twenty bushels of grain to the acre as the
average product, there were added to the
grain crops of the country last year by
these new settlers 350,000,O00 bushels! Is
it then any wonder that the grain growing
business is killed in the Eastern and Mid
die States9 Will it be strange, if under
such circumstances, corn sells at twenty
five cents2 All this is brought about by the
direct action of the Congress of the United
States influenced by the interests and
management of the transporters and trad
ers of the country.
