Jerusalem slept as quietly amid her lulls as a child upon tlio breast ul' its mother. Tlio noiseless seuiiiiul stood liko u status at his post, and tlio philoso pher's lamp burucd dimly in the recess of his chamber. But a darker niylit was abroad upon the earth. A moral darkness involved the na tions in its unlmhted shadows. Reason ched a faint glimmering over tlio minds of men, like the cold and inefficient shining of a distant star. X ho immortality of man s spiritual nature was unknown, his relations to heaven undiscovered, ami his ftituie des tiny obscured in a cloud of mystery. " It was fit that period two forms of ethe real mould hovered over tho hind of God's chosen people. They seemed like sister an gels sont to earth upon some embassy of love. 1 ho one was ot majestic stature, and in the well-formed limbs, which her snowy drapery -hardly concealed, in her erect bear ing and 8'eady eye, exhibited the highest degree of strength and confidence.' Her right ami was extended in nn impressive gesture upwards whero night appeared to have placed her darkest pavilion ; while on her left reclined her delicate companion, in form and countenance the contrast of the other, for she was drooping like the flower, when unmoistened by refreshing dews, and her bright but troubled eye scanned the air with anient but varying glances, suddenly a light like the sun flashed out from the heavens, and Faith and Hope hailed with exulting songs the ascending Star of Beth lehem. ! ' . Years rolled away, and the stranger ap peared in Jerusalem. He was a moek, un assuming man, whoso happiness seemed to consist in acts of benevolence to the human race. There were deep traces of sorrow on Iris countenance, though no ono know why ho grieved, tor he lived in the practice of every virt'to, and. was loved by all the good nnd wise. By and by it was rumored that tho stranger worked miracles ; that tne Jblind saw, the dumb spoke, and the dead Heaped to life nt his touch ; that when he commanded, the ocean moderated its channg ttidq, and tho very thunders articulated, he iis the Son of God. Envy assailed him with llie charge- of sorcery, and the voice of im pious, judges condemned . him to death. .'Slowly-.w5l thickly guardod he ascended the i Jiill of Calvary. A heavy cross bent him to .the earth. But Faith leaned upon his arm, jnd Hope, dipping her pinions in his blood, ipiounted to the skies. .,. . Steam Power. "TTho steam engine owes its present form Wd perfection chiefly to tho genius and la 'bors of the late James Watt, Esq., of Eng land. Although the idea of propelling boats V tho force of steam was entertained by different individuals in different countries 'Ion" before it was carried into practice, yet tholirst successful effort of steam nnviga 'tion was made by our countryman, Robert Fulton, In 1807. This year the first steam "boat, the ''Clermont," ascended the Hudson 'to Albany. Fulton never contemplated a Velocity for boats greater than eight or nine miles per hour, Out Hie average speeu nu giVen to boats on the Hudson is no less than fifteen miles per hour, and sixteen miles is no unusual rale. 0nwtaZ' Philosophy. (r When Lord Sandwich said he did not know the difference between orthodoxy . and heterodoxy, Warburton, the Bishop, re plied, "Orthodoxy, my IorJ, is my dory, : nnd heterodoxy is another mat$ dory." .JSymt, V. 1.. H.MH, F.dttnranil Proprietor." VOL. 1. oRsaoxtf Mr. VrollnuhuysfB, on prohibition. . At the late New Jersey Statu Temperance Convention at New lirunswiek, Hon. Theo dore Frclinghuysen delivered the following address ; . Mr. President : I always rejoice in the privilege of meeting a temperance associa tion. It brings mo near to nn enterprise of mercy, that seeks the doliveranco of our fellow-men from an evil, among the most afflicting lo all our interests for this world und tho world to tome. The prohibitory law against all traffic in intoxicating liquors ns a beverage, lias been assailed as unconstitutional, and it behooves temperance men to review the case, and ex amine tho foundations upon which it resists. I propose, therefore, very briefly to urgo the arguments which sustain tho law ; and to show that the Legislature not only hold the authority, but nro bound in public duly to prohibit the commerce. They pronounce it lo be a nuisance. If this be true, all must agree that it may bo law fully forbidden and abated. Whatever impairs tho public health or corrupts tho public morals, is a nuisance. Tho oldest law writers on this subjec', define it in such terms. A few simple illustrations will make it clear. A business, rightful in itself, will bceomo a nuisanco should it be misplaced. The loca tion of n butcher's slaughter-house on the streot of a town or city, thickly settlod, is a nuisance ; it impairs tho health and dis turbs the comfort of the pcoplo. Now, hero is a lawful pursuit. We must have butch ers, butchers' slaughter houses and yet, even this may bo restrained by tho act of the Legislature under heavy penalties, if put in a wrong place ; and the liko law us to tho soap-boiler on tho great principle, that the place of such busitiess must yield to tho health of community. So with card-playing. Why, thoro is no harm in tho cards nor the house uso of them, except tho wasto of lime and thought. But if n man sets tip a ganiing-tablo and draws in the young, and entices men from thoir homes mid families to play for money or its worth, it is a flagrant nuisance, to be put down as n corj-upter of tho morals. It lends to idleness, and vice, and profligate manners. It assaults the virtue of any peo ple; ; and tho Legislature as tho guardian of the public weal should suppfes it. And tho race courso belongs to the same class. A man may try tho spoed of his horso on his farm, or on the highway. It is lawful ; he may indulge in tho amusement without crimination. But should he step a little further and challenge to a public race, when bets nro to be made or when without that, largo numbers are to be gathered, it is a nuisance a wholesale demoralizer. It tempts industry away from safe and honor able business it invites the young and un wary to doubtful and corrupting companion ship, opens tho door and paves the way lo all manner of evil. The legislature, from tho first, forbids it in our own State. At one short period they were prevailed on to repeal the no licenso law ; but this opened such a floodgate in the" influx of dissipation, gambling, intoxication, and depravity, that they soon restored the law to our statute book with increased penalties. And if they may subject to heavy penalties persons en gaged iu this unlawful business, what is there in intoxicating liquors, bought to bo sold contrary to law, to move the law-makers to any partial legislation in exempting this scourge of our race ? And if stolen goods may bo searched for anywhere on a magis trate's warrant, after outh made by a credi ble witness of his bolief that they aro so concealed, whence can arise any apology for rum thus concealed for unlawful sale ? The case of lotteries gives a striking analo gy. Our statutes forbid the setting up of lotteries. A lottery is a nuisanco, because it entices men to put their earnings to tho decisions of chance, and this in itself is cor rupting and becauso it tempts them to idleness nnd neglect of all domestic duty, and therefore it is prohibited. And inas much as any attempt to regulate such nn en terprise would be vain, the legislature would eradicate the evil and forbid under penalty, the sale of lottery tickets. It is perceived, therefore, that matters and pursuits rightful in themselves, become nuisances as they injurously affect health or mor.ita. And this feature of legislative nower mnv be seen in our oldest codes of law, applied also to other kindred cases indeed the doctrine may be traced far into nast a sres of the common law. It is rooted in the first principles of public duty and en lightened conscience. Xow tho traffic in intoxicating liquors as a bevcr.T'e, tried by these great rules, stands ot iKo hirl nf all mischievous trades. Wo hnvo thn rminful experience of moro than sixty years, that it has always been regard ed as an insidious enefny to public health, ;tt nn.! -Aee. The legislature for all i j , . that time, and longer, nas l . the fruitless attempt to regulate ine uu...." by licenso to n selected few, by proniwuons against nales by small measure and by frowns against any tales without license. And the evil has grown stronger, year f' ter year, and has become a monster, almost (lelying law and public sentiment, wore lUBU one nuiMireu grujjljHnes in new yur wick, more than seven hundred in Newark, and multiplied all over otir own State, cor rupting the morals and destroying tbe health of oiir people as no other practice, trade or habit could do, and as all toeether never have done. Talk of regulation it laughs at regulation it fatten upon it. Thirteen of our Stutas have jieldtJ with. MKHIf. ..know aotwWl kanws nnuuntof Coronet, cxtt, oaaooN territory, batprpay, ootobbh sad, yet doep conviction to tho truth, that uo remedy can reach the miscliiut, but un absuluto prohibition of tho traffic. They prohibit all sales of lottery tickets, because such sales would porpetuate lotteries so they prohibit all tales of intoxicating liquors as a beverage, becauso they see and know . I . Ml ..! .1.- mat any mere regulation win susiuin mo trade and perpetuate tho wasting mischief. The clause of forfeiture of the liquor seems to have alarmed somo minds besides counselors who have spoken through the press. A moments thought will relievo the fear. Thcro is no magic terror in the word. For what is a fine but a forfeiture of so much of a man's property to tho Stttto ? suppose Hint ill tne law agaiusi uorsu-ruciug tho law-makers had assessed tho fine ac cording to tho worth of tho horses snv, for instance, 1,000 or $2.000 would it not bo taking the property of tho transgres sor quite as really und substantially as by e . .v. 1 I :.. i, ...1.!..- . lorieiimg me norses I ii is uiMuy uiy property," says the objector ; and is not every fine taking away your property f lee, and if that does not arrest tho forbid den race or prohibited sale, tho luw may take your person next, and that, togother ith your property, put the ono in the pub lic treasury nnd the other in tho public prison and this, nntil the law is maintain ed and vindicated. Tho true nature and just aims of all sound government, is to guard the rights and mor als of tho whole people, watchfully. I add the intcretts.ot tho pcoplo when no direct question of morals can be raised, but only considerations of comfort and well-be ing. Henco it is that to kill game, or to fish for shad after a certain day, exposes to a penalty ; and in all matters touching the public welfare, tho legislature have tlio au thority nnd have immemorially exercised it. And all considernto men should give tho law their aid and countenanco, for the sake of a greater good. Granted that the uso of wine in itself is a lawful indulgence, yet, if its tendency is injurious, it it lends to other excesses, if it opens the way for the poison ous adulteration of wines (as it does most grievously,) and of all exciting liquors ns Paul did in his day, so should wo. Who would not deny himself to save a friend ? to snvo his country I And who can gravely maintain that the snlo of intoxicating liquor is not harmful, and most destructive of health, character, and domestic comfort ? I would fetch melancholy arguments from the tears of neglected families broken hearted wives and starving children from the poor-house, the prison, and the grave yard I would ask for the sake of human nature it it be not tune to abolish torover tins ruinous traffic ! And to accomplish it, .wo must stand together we must raise a puro and lofty standard, nnd then lead, and not wait to follow public opinion. And this without dread of a littlo extravagance. A cause that is worthy of a hearty support, will always kindle enthusiasm, and this sometimes bo followed by occasional extrava gance. If a reformation did not kindle warmth in the bosom, it would bo a very strong proof that it had no great merit. I would wish it to glow with an ardent enthu siasm, and prompt to vigorous, unflinching, self-forgetting action. Let the same spirit which animated ourforofatliors in the strug gle of the Revolution, shape our temperance enterprise. They threw overboard tho tea into the ocean, not troro any spite against the tea, but for the great doctrine which opened that eventful drama. They there by declared to the world, and the world per ceived with what determination, that they would neither pay tho tax nor drink the tea. So may we finally resolve in this purpose of mercy, and seek God's blessing, without which no enterprise can prosper, and with which none can fail. Tourteea Years Ago. Some idea of the rapid stridos that 'Voting America' is making may bo gathered from the fact that just fourteen years ago but a single house, and that a log cabin, stood upon what is now the site of St. Paul, Min nesota, a city that supports four daily news papers, and whero upwards of 43,000 pas sengers have been landed within a year.

Among tho multitudinous circumstance of a striking and extraordinary character connected with tho history of Louis Napo leon, not tlio least is a fact stated by a well informed corrponilent in tho Illustrated London News, of lust Saturday. It is there affirmed, that, during his exile, h fused to read with great interest the proof sheets of M. Thiers, "History of the Consu late nnd Empire," which wero supplied to him by Mr Forbes Campbell, who w as then preparing on English version of that work. Tho following remarkable postage occurs iu a letter which tho 1'rinco addressed to Mr. Campbell in 1817, when returning tho proof sheets of Vol.5. It will bo seen that even at that early period the Kmpnror mcdiutod the English ullianco w hich ha hat sinco accomplished : "Why was not I born to thnro in tho glories of those heroic timet f But, on re flection, it is hotter as it it. What a tad dening spcclaelo to behold tho two greatest and most civilized nations of tho world do tlroying one another (s'tHtreyoryer) two nation that ought in my opiuion (ttton moi,)lo have beta frieudt and alliet, tud rivals only in tho am of penco. Let us hopo the day may yet come when I thall carry out tho intentions of my Uncle, by uniting the interests and policy of England and France in nn indissolublo alliance. That hope cheers and encourages me. It forbids my repining at tho altered fortunes of my famiiy.'' K Predict lorn of the Present War. Tho Rev. John Cumuiing, D. D., of tho Scotch Church, London, in a lecture deliv ercd in Exeter Hall, iu the year 1847, pro nounced, nmong other matters, the prophet io words written -below. They aro copied from his "Apocalyptic Skolchcs": "Having explained the pouring out of the six preceding vials, tho learned lecturer pro ceeds with the seventh his text is Rev. xvi., 17 to 21. "Tho seventh vial is ready to be poured out, or if not already pouring out, wo aro unon tho very verco of its bcinir to. It trembles in the hands of the angel. We may expect that during the action of this vial the mountaineer in tho fastnesses tho miner in his s'ubterranonn caves the voya gor upon tho ocean's bosom the Arab In his desert tho Moslem in his mosque tho Cossack in his steppes tho King upon his throne the mother in her household tho babe in tho cradle all will feel its vibra tions, rcceivo tho taint of its influence, and respond in a thousand echoes to the voice from above, 'It is done.' "Thcro will bo rocking thronot; there will bo subverted dynasties ; there will be dislocated systems ; thoro will bo nations scattered and shaken as by a whirlwind ; and the hearts of the great and the mean, the rich and the poor, trombling for fear of tho things coining on earth, "Now you will notice that undor the sev enth vial the ten-kingdom form is no longer to be the distinctive chnracteristio of the Romish nations ; they nro to assume a now shape ; they will be divided itito a tripar tite shape ; threo great masses will be the ultimato form into which all the nations of Europe nnd Christendom will bo divided ; as toon ai you see three great leading pow ers coming into collision, with broad Europe for tho battlo-fiuld, nnd tho evening of the world for the hour of the conflict, you may expect that the downfull of Babylon and tho advent of Christ and tho dawn of tho mil lennium are near. It is probnblo that this tripartite division will consist of France leading its hosts upon the ono side, as tho great partisan of the Papacy ; tho Autocrat of all the Russia, who lias more than once blared a cruel came, may lead tho second part ; and I have somo idea that this old England of ours, so illustrious by its sainted suflercrs, its noble army of martyrs, its dovoted Christians, its preached Gospel, its spreading Christianity, iu circulated liibles, will also be tho third part ; and whon tho conflict comes, it will bo as of old England airainst tho world, the truth of God against the npostacy of Satan and tho infidelity of man." JtiT "You teach," taid tho Emperor Tra jan to Rabbi Joshua, "that God is every where, and that ho resides among your na tion. I should liko to toe him." "God's presence is indeed everywhere," replied Joshua, "but he can not be seen ; no mortal eye can behold his glory. Well," continued Joshua, "suppose we try to look first at one of his ambassadors." Tho emperor con sented. Tho rabbi took him into the open air at noonday, nnd bade him look at the sun in its meridian splendor. "I can not," said Trajan ; "the light dazzles mo." "Thou art unable, "said Joshua, "lo endure tho light of ono of his creatures, and canst thou expect to behold the resplendent glory of the Creator ! Would not such a light annihilate thee ! X3T Tho hiaot is said to have originated in a secular nnd political transaction, not in religion. Rollo, Duko of JVormamiy, re ceiving Gissa, daughter of King Charles, in marriage, and wim ner me mvemuuru oi the dukedom, refused, to perform the usual ceremony of kissing tho king's foot in to ken of subjection, unless tho king would hold it out for that purpose, and when urged t it. answered hastily, "No, by God," whereupon tbe king gave him tho name of the by Hod or unfit, ana we name nas pass ed to all stubborn and pecvU.b. insiaters on their own notions.

SK'n!ing of churns, wo have uever teen any other labor tuving contrivuiico in that department, that for practical conveiiieuco aud utility could coinpure with that of Mrs. Sirongatlmni, a nolublo English houstwife whoso acquaintance we bud tho pleasuro of making in one oi tho rural districts ot Now York some yean sinco. Having occasion to call upon her one summer morning, wc found her occupying her lingo chintx cover o J rocking chair, rocking' and knitting as though the salvation of the family depended upon the assiduity with which tho applied herself lo these occupations. Not thut she was uncivil or unsociable by any means, for tho moment wo had taken the proffered chair tho sot in with a steady stream of talk that was as instructive ns it was entertain ing, for beside her admirable qualities as a housewife tho lady possessed rare conversa tional powen. During our cull the directed one of her daughters to sonic duty in a distant part of the liouti, addii(g, "I would attend lo it my self, but I mutt fetch this butter." Now, wo Lad known something of tho process of "fetching butter" iu our early dayt, and the idea of a mow-white chum tud an irksome expenditure of elbow grease was as natural ly associated with it in our mind, as was the cimpens'itory slice of now bread nnd butter after tho achievement of the victory. We therefore cast our eye about us involuntaii ly for these indications, but wc looked in vaiu. Of either churn or churning there was no more nppearanco than might have been seen in Queen Victoria's drawing room any day in the week. Our curiosity was excited, and we resolved to keep our eyes open, satisfied that if wo did "we should see whut wo should seo." And wo did. During a momentary pause iu the conversa tion the lady rose from her chair, removed the cushion, raised a tort of trap door un derneath, nnd looked into the apparent vacuum with an earnestly inquiring eye. The secret was out. Under the soat in her rocking chair was a box in which she do positod tho jar of cream, and tho agitation produced by tlio vibratory motion of the chair converted tho liquid into butter. Ry this arrangement the lady was enabled to kill, not two only, but four birds with tho same stono. She could churn, knit, take her cose in her rocking-chair, and entertain her morning guests at the same time. And such butter as sho made I Yellow as gold, sweot as tho meat of tlio cocoa nut, and as hard, too: "rural" market. You may brag of your patent churns if you will, but for novelty, economy, convenience and immac ulate butter we defy thorn, one and all, whon brought into competition with Mrs. Strona- tham s incomparable contrivnnoo. Uf nor butter wo thall retain a lively and grateful remembranco to our dying day ; her churn we shall novor forgot ei tho r. iix. A. Xew Continual. The cortil roefs of tho Pacific Ocean havo been in part, measured, nnd nro found to be of amazing extont, and a new continent is in process of formation. All tlio labor is accomplished by zoophytes insects; and if wo wish to form some conception ot tueir duin trs, we have but to remember that the corn! formation of the Pacific occupy an area of four or five thousand miles, nud to imagine what a picture tho oceon would present wero it suddenly drained. We should walk amid huge mounds which had been cased and capped with tho stono theso animals had secretod. Prodigious ones would rise from the ground all lowering to tho tame attitude, reflecting the light of tho sun from their white summits with dazzling intensity. Here and thcro wo should see a huge platform, once a large island, whose peaks as thoy sunk were clothed in coral, and then prolongod upwards until they rose beforo us liko tho columns ot some huge temple which had been commenced by tho Anadinsof an antediluvian world. Clinm pnllion has said of tho Egyption edifices, that they seem to have been designed by mon fifty foot high. Hero wandering among these strango monuments, we might fancy that beings ono hundred yards in stat ure had been planting the pillars of somo colossa citv thev bad nover lived to com ploto. Ihe builders wore worms, aim tne quarry, whence they dug their masonry, the crystal wave. In the event of this vast extent of coral reef being upheaved, where or whonee will the water of the l'acihc re cede I Either the western shores of the American continent and away to the Rocky Mountains will be submerged, or the horet of opiiosite Asia, for innumerable agca the cradlo of man't development and civiliza tion, will sink into tho great abyss; and tho ships of the inhabitants of this gloho when it adds ten thousand years to its ngo will sail over and find no soundings whore millions to-day toil in unresisting servitude, and whero cities from gorgeous cupolas and storied palaces fling bark the rays of the ri sing and the declining sun.
