' It is the influ ence nf the stream upon the climate,' he adds, that makes Ji.nn the li.merald isle, of the sea and' clothes the shores of Albion with ever green robes ; while in the same latitude, on the other side, the shores "of "Labrador are fast bound in fetters of ice.

" i- AN AFFECTING AND REMARKABLE TALE. . The circumstance itself occurred in the town otWarripgtion, 'ind was related there at a Bi ble meeting by, a gentleman of respectability and veracity, connected with the socict, ; , .The circumstance was Introduced in the fol lowing words: About three years ago, two lit- ue ooysi decently clotncd, the eldest appearing about thirteen, and the youngest eleven, called at the lodging house for vagrants, in this house, for a night's lodging, the, keeper of the town (very properly) took them to the vagrant's of fice to be examined ; and if proper objects, to be relieved. The account they gave of them selves .was extremely affecting, and no doubt was entertained of its truth. It appears that but a few. weeks bad elapsed since these poor little wanderers had resided with their parents in London. The typhus fever, however, in one day, carried off both 'father and mother leaving the ophans in a wide world, without home and without friends. ' Immediately after the last tribute'had been paid to their parent's! memory, having an uncle in -.: Liverpool, poor and destitute as they were, they resolved to go and throw themselve upon his protection. Tiri ed therefore, an "faint, they, arrived in this! town, on their way. Twol "bundles contained their little all. Jn the youngest boy's pocket was found, neatly 1 covered, and carefully pre sented,? a Bible. ( The . keeper of the lodging house, addressing' the little boy, said, " Yon hayei neither money nor: meat, will you sell "me this Bible ? I will gjve -yorf five shillings; for it." "No;" exclaimed he, (the tears rolling down ljis youthful cheeks;) " I'll starve first."; He then said, 44 jr here arf plenty of books to be bought beside this ; why do you lovo this why do you lbve; this "Bible so much f " He replied, 44 No " book pus stood my friend so much as my Bibl? -4 Why, what has your Bible done for you ?" he said. Ho answered " When I was a little bov. about seven years old, I became a Sunday scholar. . in Lon- aontnrouga the kma attention of my master, I soon learned to read my Bible this Bible. young as 1 was, showed me that I was a sinner, ana a great one too; it also pointed me to a Saviour ; and 1 thank God that I have found mercy at the hands of Christ, and I am not ashamed to confess him before the world." To try him still farther, six. shillings were then offered him for the Bible. u No," said he, 44for it has been my support all the way from London ; hungry and weary, often, have I set down by the way side to read my Bible, and have found, refreshment from it." Thus did he experience the consolation of the Psalm ist, when he said, !"Thy comforts have refresh ed hi3 soul." He was then askedi Vhat will you do when you get to Liverpool, should your uncle refuse to take you in ?" The reply may excite a oiusn m many Christians, "My Bible tells," saidt he, "when ray father and mother forsake, me, then the Lordwill take me up." l ne man could go no farther, for the tears choked his utterance, and they both Wept togeiner. i ney nad in their pockets tickets, as rewards for their good conduct, from the school to which they belonged, and thankful ness and humility vyere visible in all their de portment. At night these two orphans, bending their knees at the side of their bed, committed them selves to the care of their Heavenly Father to Him whose ears are open to the prayers of the poor and destitute ; and to Him who has said, "Call upon roe in the day of trouble ; I will deliver thee and thnn hTmlt nlnnfir . ' The next morning, these refreshed little wander ers arose early, dressed themselves for their journey, and set out for the town of Liverpool; and may He who iieare the ravens when they cry, hear, arid answpr their petitions, guida them and bless' them in eternity. The Christian VieVof -Profldence. Macaulay, in his History of England, gives a striking specimen of that misconception of the Christian view of Providence, which is prevalent among a large class of intelligent men who are strangers to the christian spirit. To present that misconception distinctly, be fore the mind, we will quote a paragraph from him. - In describing the descent of the Prince of Orange upon th coast of England, thaf dis tistingnished write?, with a leer of infidelity and a bite of sarcasm, says: I he weather had indeed served the Pro testant cause so well, that some men, of more piety than judgment, believed the ordinary laws of nature to have boen suspended for the pres- ervation: or lioerty ana religion.. s;Ji.xaeti v. a hundred years before this, they said the Arma da, invincible by men, had been scattered by the wrath of God-. (Civil freedom, and Divine truth were again : in jeopardy, and again the obedient elements hjad fought for a good cause. The wind had" blown- strong ; from the East. while the Prince wished' to sail down the chan nel ; had turned to the South, when' she wished to enter tne uay or l oroayi naa sunfi io a calm .during the disembakation ; and ; as soon as the disembarkation had' been; completed, bad risen to a storm and met the pursuer in the luce." - - j i Now such an, intelligent writer should have known that no Intelligent christians are liable to. the impeachment which he here brings. None; believe at all tbain such a case the laws of nature are suspended ; while all believe that not a sparrow, falls to the ground without our j? atner. ; l nosa who taKe their, pnuosopay of Providence from; the teachings of Christ, the author of Providenoe, believe that the hand of1 God directed , the. shifting of the winds ia tbi3 case, as really as. in the case when Christ commanded . the winds by a word, and hushed them by a miraculous power, And yet they are sure mat inera was no miracie in tne case. They believo that God's power, exerted through the laws of nature, is as really God's power as that which i3 exerted in arresting tho course of nature. ' ; ! : H' .;? v'-x The true view of the case is. that God has settled the laws of nature," or more properly the established modes of his own working in nature and- in providence, for the .? purpose of doing lurougu luum, just mo mings wmcu ne aoes through them and not for the purpose of hin dermg the execution of His will: Before he put in- motion the system of the universe j he had before his mind all the minute acts that he wished to-performy ths operations of nature He set the winds upon vast 'such a pivot as' he did,' that he might: move just when and as bo does.- So that it may bo said with truth, that when ha fired thelaws of the wind,' he fixod them such, that thby should turn abourjast a3 they did, to facilitate; the liberating army into England; and that, iiXthat caso, thera'was not a suspension, but an execution of nature's law Fixad as these laws are each in its own sphere, ihey are all flixillo ia the hands of 'Jehovah, executing tb.3 ; purposes for which he made them. , - ( " Hence thero is no hindrance, :from a sound philosophy to )ur sc an tLo hand of God in very event ; and tho life of christian piety - Is much subserved by a habit of recognizing that hand, in all events, both great and small. ; By bu uoiug, we are viriuany conversing wuauou througb all 'the ? motions of ? bis handif ;Tbe course of events becomes to us ss a Divine dis course ; and the events fof Providence.' eivine frame to cur! daily experience, beoome as con stant series of experimental illustrations of the written Word of God.

It is a proof of the great variety of human developement to notice persons reading a news paper. Mr. General Intelligence first glances at the telegraph, then at the editorial, and- thenhe goes into the correspondence. , 1 Mr. Sharper opens with stocks and markets, and ends with the advertisements for wants. hoping to find a victim. ' ! Aunt Sukey first read the stories then looks to see whose married. Miss Prim looks at the marriages first, and then reads the stories. Miss Marvellous is curious to see the list of accidents, murders, and the like. Uncle 'Ned hunts up a funny thing, and lausrbs with a will. Madame Gossip turns to the local depart ments for her thunder, and having obtained that, throws the paper aside. Mrs. tnendly drops the first tear of sympa thy over the deaths, and then over the mar riages ; for, says she, one is about as bad as the other. Mr. Politician dashes into the telegraph, and from that to the editorial, ending with 'the speeches alluded to. Our literary friend is eager for a nice compo sition from the editor, or some kind correspon dent. After analyzing the rhetoric, grammar. and the logic of production,' he turns a careless glance at the news department, and then takes to his Greek, perfectly satisfied. 1 he pleasure seeker examines programmes of public entertainments, and decides which will afford him the 'greatest amount of amuse ment. ; The laborer searches among the wants for a better opening to his business, and but enough; an extention of the list is useless. There is just as much difference in readers as in any thing. ': .. ' But the worst is yet to come. If each does not find a column or less of his peculiar liking, the paper is good tor nothing. ' ; False Emphasis. I . All know how great a difference there is be tween written and spoken 'eloquence, between the poetry of th e pri n ted I pigo ; and the same poetry when kindled into life by tho melodious voice, the eloquent eye, and the impressive ges ture. The one is the marble statue, pure, beau tiful, but lifeless; the other is a living and breath ing form, full of vitality and grace. The rap turous., harmonies , of a Handel or. Beethoven may be turned to jarring discord in the hands of a bungling performer; so may the. sublime composition of the talented writer.. , v j An improper emphasis pr, vulgar pronuncia tion is often the single step which loads from tho sublime to tho ridiculous; and Ariosto is not the only one .who has discovered this melancholy fact to bis Shame and"' sorrow. This Italian poeti'we. aVo toldused to recite his own poems with so sweet a voice that hls.friends were en raptured to hear him. He possessed so delicate an ear, and sosensitive and choleric a temper that once, on overhearing potter reading some of his verses with a faulty accent, he became sO enraged that he criteredjthe shop and proceeded to demolish the wares exposed for sale. ,In vain did the astounded tradesman expostulate on the violence of tho stranger. i; - ";;; j"I have not sufficiently revenged myself on thee," exclaimed the enraged poet. "I have only broken a few pots, and you ' bavo spoiled the most beautiful of compositions to' ray face,,.' What poet, whom the world acknowledges as such, has not endured a thousand similar mis- representations?''3 ' . 1 Mozart once wrote a composition entitled a "Musical Joke: " somo portsons of which'were underscored precisely is a poor performer! woul4 play them.; t The effect' is, of course, highly lu dicrous, but not moro so thap would be a page ferent. reader "would render themi -There are few really good readers fffiong us, and even those who are accustomed to ' publio speaking are often sadly deficient in this accomplishment; There aro many queeXcxamples of faLic ern phasis, as well as thp3Q, showing tbo poTwerjof emphasis, and the reader should ; learn to ap preciate this power, that we hear almost daily.- The following will HItofrtta'JhW-ttSjectV"i: . ;'iJo you imagine me to be a scoundrel, sir ?" demanded one man j iddignantiy, of another .V No, " was tho reply, I do not imagine you to be one.' - - " " - ai- ' fi A careless reador once gave this passage from the Bible, jwith tho following - emphasis, and pauses : "And tho old man said unto bis sons, Saddle me, the ass ; and they saddled 7tw.n , '.

The waters descend in the temper ate regions of the earth, .where they are much above the freezing point ; their beat is retained and pr obably increased at the vast depths in which they move and when they emerge at and about the Pole they produce a warm and open sea, and a warm atmosphere about it.

A writer from western Texas says the German French, Swiss, Hungarian, and other European set tlers in north-western Texas are to a man in favor of forming a new State out of the western portion of that Stale, and to a man they arc opposed to slavery. There are many settlers from the North ern States among them, too, and together he thinks they can command ten thousand votes already. The letter is written by Mr. Wilcox, a. member of Congress from Mississippi, who has ' lately re turned from a visit to Texas. By the act annex ing Texas it is provided that it may be divided into two or more Stales. Catholic Priests Decreasing. The Catholic Herald of Philadelphia, lamenting the decrease of their priests, says, that they cannot hope at present to supply their ranks from this country, as "one of the last pursuits Catholic parents, rich or poor, are likely to desire for their children, is the ministry of Kbman Ca tholicism." It also states, that while the main portion of tho supply has "been of Irish, origin, that is now on the decline, ' as every year4 brings less priests from that country, and less young men desirous of becoming priests, than the preceding year did."

Jackson, Philadelphia Dear Sir I have been a subject of Dyspepsia, in its worst form or tho last five years. Such wt.s my conc'jtion for welve months that the physicians and all who saw me said I must die. While in this condition I wa carried to he watering places in Virginia, Tennef see and North Carolina, but was not benefitted by any water to which . I was taken.'., While on" ray way home I stopped a week at Rutherfurdton. a small village in North Carolina, to try the effect of some Uhalybeate water in' that place. About the last of the week I went intb a dritg- store to . get some medicine lor ray child and rriyselt. There were several of the village physicians in the store, and one of them seemed to ; take, some interest in my case, and, after asking me some qoestions, said he had been a " dyspeptic, and had been greatly benefitted by the use ot ";Dr Hoofland's Gerrhan Bitters," prepared by youi and he insisted that. I would try the Bitters.,.. He, ; also, called the next day at my room and insisted so much that I would try them that I asked htm to get roe one bottle.- He did it, and I commenced taking it as directed, and I do say I was more benefited by. it than .all the water and medicine I had ever taken.', " ; I After reaching home, one of my neighbors came to me for a prescription arid medicine (he a dys peptic), and I gave him nearly all the Bitters I had left J which effected muchood, in his. case. :He has often called on me for more of the sameitind of medicine, saying he was more benefitted by it than any other be had taken, but I have not been able to get any-more for him or myself since; will your therefore, please ship me a dozen' or more al soonas possible.

JjBtKB has long existed a puhU enundfn.w ' enectiTe purgafave piJl which could be wlied on w sure and perfectly safe in its operation.

' It has been unfortunate tat the: patent hitherto that almost every pursraW ' medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow - els. This Is Hoa Many of them produce an i i jf griping pain and revulsion in. the system as to more -; than counterbalance the good to be derived frW thenu' These pills produce no irritation or paial re - unless it arise from a previously existing obsteuc a ' . .tion or derangement in tJie bowels. Being purelf vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in an - quantity ; but it is better that any medicine ahonlff i ?; be taken judiciously Minute directions for thea tp, ue in the several diseases to which tiieytre &,' plicable;are given on the box. Among the conv " plaints which have been speedily eared by them, piay mention" liver Complaint, in its various forms' of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss of Ap. ' Bstite, Listlessness, Irritability, Bilious Headacht,; ilions Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain ia the Side ..: I and Loins ; for, in truth, all these are but the eon - sequence of diseased acUortia the hver. As aa aperient they afford prompt and sure relief in Co ' , tiveness, Piles, Colic , Dysentery, Humors, Scro? -" tila and. Scurry, Colds with soreness of the bo4r Ulcers and impurity of the blood; in short, any T and evert case where a purgative is required, t Thev have also prwuced some singularly sue- cessfid cures in Rheumatism, Gont, Dropsy, Gravel, Erysipelas,' Palpitation of the Heart, Pains ia the Back, Stomach, and Side. .: They should be freelj taken in. the spring of the year, 'to purify tiie blood "r and prepare the system for the change of season. V' An occasional dtse stimulates the stomach and " bowels intoi healthy action, and restores the appel tite and vigor. '? They pnrify the blood, and, by their. ,. . stimulant action on the circulatory system, reno vate the strength of the body, and restore tha ' " - wasted or diseased cnenries of the whole organism. Hence an occasional dose. is advantage. s, even " though no serious derangement exist but. tin- : necessary dosing should neter be came- too for, as every purgative medicine reduces the strength, when taken to excess. The thousand cases in whicli -'t a. physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but they Bnggest themselves to tho reason-of cTery ' body ; and it is confidently believed this pill wiu ; (. answer a better purpose than any thjugwhich baa . hitherto been available to mankind.
