1 believe that, as a general thing, all
classes in the free States who discharge the
duties of their station with tolerable fidel
ity, are rewarded accordingly. I regret
while the poor we must always havo with
us, that there are times of unusual financial
d Uiailty, when many persons, particularly
in cties and manufacturing towns, are
thrown out of employment. But nt such
times there are neblo additions made to
charities, both public and private, by
means of which the absolute wants of ev
17 one may to supplied. 1 nave never
known instances such as you refer to. of
hired servants in the free States being
timed off without a character, and having
noplace to put their heads into, unless they
brought it upon themselves by insufferably
had conduct. Even then, they usually re
ceive notice, in time to make other arrange
ments. No doubt, though, some such in
itanees do occur; slaveholders, I suppose,
are not the only persons who refuse to give
to him that serves him his due. To G01I
all such will have to give ncceunt. Look
at the " poor whites'' in the Southern and
Southwestern States, and tell mo if their
situuttoii would not be grcutly bettered if
thoy coilld hire out in respectable families,
where, to earn one's bread is considered no
disgrace.
You speak of the good homes and plen
ty to cat which the slaves have. I believe
that during the years that I lived in Mis
souri I saw slavery in its mildest form, so
at least people from more Southern States
hare assured me, and I must say that the
poorest of the laborers of my natiro State,
Pennsylvania, would not put np with such
fsre when at service, although the lash
should be excepted. No, you could not
procure hands there to harvest, or to do
other work, if you should propose to feed

The editor of the Honolulu Advertiser

There has evidently been a very great

The Old Fkud Rkvivkd. During his
late visit in Cunadn, the Prince of Wales
, was deterred from landing at several points
on the St. Luwrence by belligerent demon-
strations on the part of ' Orange men.'
J A lute correspondent of the Bulletin thus
spcuks of the mutter: "The excitement
between the Orangemen and Kibbonmcii In
( Canada, which prevented the landing of
the l'rince of Wales at two or three
places on tho St. Lawrence, Is subsiding,
It assumed a fearful aspect at Kingston
for a while, and threatened to lead to
( bloody riots, but the numerical weakness
of tho Ribbonmen induced thrm to suc-
cumb, and bloodshed was thus prevented,
I Orangemen at their meetings showed an ex-
ceedingly violent and inflammatory spirit,
i The Queen's Government was denounced as
11 Government of pnp'sts, and they talked
annexation to the Uaiud States. They

Eui'iRK or the Wcst. In his late
speech nt St. Paul, Hon. Wu. II. Seward
said: " The owners of the workshops and
of the banks are in the East, and the own
ers of the gold mines are in the fur West;
but the owners of the lud in the United
States ore to bo found along the shores of
the Mississippi river, from New Orleans to
the sources of the great river and the great
lakes. On both sides of this stream are
the people who hold In their hands the
destinies of the republic. I have been
asked by many of you what I think of
Minnesota. I will not enlarge further than
to say that Minnesota must be a great
State or a mean one, just as her people
shall have wisdom and virtue to decide.
That some great States are to be built up
in the Valley of the Mississippi I know.
You will no longer hear hereafter of the
'Old Dominion' State; dominion has
passed nwny from Virginia long ago.
Pennsylvania is no longer the keystone of
the Americr n Uuion, for the arch has beeu
extended from the Atlantic coast to the
Pacific Ocean, and tho center of the arch
is moving westward. A new keystone is
to be bailt in that arch. New York will
cense to bo the hmptre btatc, and a new
Empire State will grow up In a northern
latitude, where the lands are rich, aud
where the people who cultivate them are
all free and all equal. That State which
shall be truest to the great fundamental prin
ciple of the Government that State which
shall be most faithful, most vigorous, in
developing and perfecting society on this
principle will be at once the new Domin
ion State, the new Keystone State, the

Exploration in tub Far North. A
party ascended Frazer river in July, 1858,
and continued in the upper country until
about two months ago, Last summer
they penetrated to within ten miles of the
source of Frazer river, and were in the
very heart of the Rocky Mountnins, 350
miles above Fort George. They found a
good pass through the mountains where
the Hudson's Bay trail crosses to Red
river country. They found gold all along
the route traversed, but not generally in
paying quantities. Returning to Fort Al
exander, they ascended Bcnr river, but
found no gold aftr traveling twenty miles.
Afterwards ascending Stuart's river seventy
miles from its mouth, they found a bar
which paid two ounces a day. From the
head of Stuart's they crossed the conntry
to the source of Bear river; they found
the county swampy and almost inaccessible
on acf 0nut of overflows occasioned by bea
ver dams, the innumerable creatures having
constructed dams on all the streams. Some
disto nee below they found a bar which paid
ten dollars to the Hand, but provisions
rminng ont, the explorers had to return.
Thit bar is 250 miles from the month of
the river and twenty miles below Beaver
Lake. The journal of two years' explora
tion in the far North is full of interest.

In the winter of 1857, about midnight,
a passenger, with a carjiel sack In one hand,
and a heavy shawl in the otlu-r, entered tho
Tremont House, Chicogo. anting a irm
ly to the office, bo hailed the clerk who pre
sides at the Tremont. Being late at night,
almost every one dad left this popular ex
change of the North-western nietrojwlia,
and the clerk had fallen to nodding.
Awakened by the sulutatioa of the stranger,
he jumped up.
'Ah, Mr. Harris, glad to fee you; Junt

Yes, Jut In; very tired; have not had
my clothes off for two days, atraight from
New York. Can you give mo a roo:ur
' I'm afraid nol; we are full.'
' You must stretch a point, for I oiuat

After looking over tho register some
time the clerk said:
' I can put you in the same room Judge
Donglui occupied the last time ho was
here.'
' Ah.' replied Harris, ' that will suit me;

Th Bor Preacher or Louisiana.
Mark Boatner Chapman is now in his
fourteenth year, he was born In Clinton,
La., where his pareats still reside. About
two veara airo he was received into the
Church very soon nfter this ho commenc
ed instructing his father's servants on the
afternoon of every Sabbath. His custom
was to read a chapter nnd comment npon
it, having first closely studied the chapter
consulting Benson, Clark and Wesley on
every passage.
Ho at length began, says a writer to the
Memphis Advocate, to speak in the love
feast and class-meetings, then to pray in
the public congregation. His appearance
la that of the merest boy. and he seems
wholly unconscious of aaynperior gifts or
attainments. Ho now preaches regularly
every Sabbath at his futhcr's place, near
town. His parents have refused to allow
him to enter the pulpit, and supply .the
place of the regular minister on Sabbath,
although he is ollen solicited to do so.
Ho docs nothing without permission from
his parcuts. He attewte school and joins
in all the amusements of the boys of his
. . t .i i
own age; be is a mcro cniiu everywncre,
save when preaching. On lust Sabbath I
sat under his ministry, and have seldom
been more edified ar.d delighted with a
sermon, ilia style is cnasie ma wonia
fitly and happily chosen. The nicest critic
would not detect a grammatical error; Ins
manner is earnest, nnd his pathetic appeals
reach all hearts. Occasionally his feelings
overwhelm him, and he gives way to floods
of tears.
The most gifted lawyers, dociors and
divines, have heard him with astonishment
and delight. I confess that it is most won
derful, and to me incomprehensible.
When I henrd him, he preached from the
text, "How long halt ye between two
opinions?" He preached from notes, some
times seeming to forget that his notes were
before. him. His subject was arranged
with perfect system, and most logically
treated. When through with his sermon,
he closed the Book, and gave a brief and
touching exhortation, under which I could
with others but weep. His public ad-droi-s
published have attracted much at
tention, and, should he live, he must in bis
onward course leave a broad wake on the
tide of morals. Such Is the character of
the " Boy Preacher," whose wonderful
precocity is without a parallel.
19 An Editor need not necrasarily

JcnoKs, Justices, AnonxKvs, Atten
tion! The Lords of tho Bench at West
minster, the highest judicial authority in
England, iu a case recently referred to
them, declared " that it was a principle of
common law, that a counselor, in question
ing a witness, should address him in ordi-
dinnry tones, nnd in language of respect,
such as is employed by one gentleman in
conversation with another; thnt such law
yer has no right to question the privato
business or moral character of a witness,
any further than it is apparent they abso
lutely affect his reliability, or touch the
case In hand; and that a witness is not
bound to answer questions put to him In
an insulting or an annoying manner. If
forced to answer by the court, he will have
his remedy in an action for damnges."
The common law of England is the com
mon law of this conntry, where it is not con
trolled or modified by positive statue
19 The Queen of England docs not
suckle her children, although there is no
positive law forbidding it, other than the
law of etiquette. The law of England,
however, regards the Queen Regnant as a
man, she being the only woman in England
who is not couvertt that is, involved in
the identity of her hnsband. This fact,
probably, would render the suckling of her
own childreu by the Qneeu very inconslstr
ent. Ladies of rank almost invariably
pursue the same course, and employ wet
nurses for their offspring. All the nobility
of England have thus been reared of ple
beian milk; but they take it for granted,
that as cow's milk will not make children
calves, plebeian milk will not render them
base.

Increase of Piiebiiyteiiianism in Half
a Centirv. Rev. Dr. John McDowell
in his scml-centcnnnry sermon, makes tho
following interesting statement: "Tho
Presbyterian Church was divided in 1830,
since which time there have been two Gen
eral Assemblies. Both Assemblies should
be taken into the account in comparing tho
Presbyterian Church as it now is with whut
it was fifty years ago. In the General
Assembly of 1807, the first I attended, tho
number of delegates in attendance was 54 :,
the number In the two Assemblies which
met last spring was 407. The number of
Synods when I entered the ministry was
7 ; the number now, as reported to the last
Assemblies, is 61. The nnmbcr of Presby
teries when I conmenced my ministry was
31; now it is 254. The number of minis
ters in the Presbyter'an Church thcu was
376; now it is 3,765. The number of
churches then was 674; now it Is 4,63";
aud the number of communicants then was
17,881 ; now it Is 360,881. According tu
this statement, the Synods have bsen mul-
tiulied seven times; the rr-snyterwi
eieht times; the ministers ten
I i aits; tho
churches seven times, and
cants twenty times."
