BAXTER- This work is one of remarkable interest, in both an historical and a religious point of view. The period of which it treats was that which witnessed the stupendous collision between conservatism and reform in the religious world, inaugurated by Martin Luther; in which the rack, the dungeon and the stake were deemed legitimate means of combating religious error. Nowhere were these instrumentalities employed more promptly,more thoroughly, or more remorselessly, than throughout the dominions of " His most Christian Majesty" the King of France. But, " The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church"; and the numerous imprisonments and executions of Protestants were followed by the results that most commonly attend the use of such " means of grace." The new faith steadily gained ground among all classes, and was soon embraced by some of the highest and noblest in the kingdom. In the cold I in the cold t One poor lamb out of the fold.

By that edict, the Huguenots, after iixty years of persecution, were allowed at last comparative liberty of conscience and freedom of worship. What the Roman Catholics thought of U may be inferred from the protest of the Pope, Clement VIII., who wrote to say that ' a decree which gave liberty of conscience to all was the most accursed that had ever been made.'

In the western part of the city lives a German family, consisting of man and wife, with six children, the eldest child about eighteen, and the youngest a daughter three years, lacking about four months. The latter, until she was about two years of age, was in every respect like other children. At that time the child was taken sick, and Dr. Wm. Stark, the family phy■ician, was called in. He found the case a veTy peculiar one, to which the recordB of medical science aB yet present no parallel. At that time a phenomenon appeared in this little girl's life which is abnormal, the usual time being more than half a score years later. Since that change phenomena incident to a later time of life appear with normal regularity, with a corresponding physical development in every re•pect. The body has grown more rapidly than fc usual for children of that age, and the mind has developed not quite proportionately, but much beyond her age. Really, the child's age ia less than three years; physically, it is that of an adult. S PR ATT, AT LAW, AND UNITuTtEl AGENT, Apr. 13.190S THE BEST OF WORKMEN, In the fold!

It gives an account of the causes which at various times led to the migration of Protestants from the continent to England, and describes the effect on the industrial interests, as well as on the history, of the latter country. It contains sketches of many of the must eminent victims of persecution in France; of the most distinguished Frenchmen—soldiers, statesmen, divines, men of science and of letters —who were forced to flee from their native land to preserve not only freedom of conscience, but life itself ; or who, remaining, suflcred imprisonment, torture, and death, as the penalty of adhering to the proscribed But after the assassination of Henry IV., in 1610, the ascendancy of the Catholic party revived, and priestcraft dictated the policy of the rulers.

The king consecrated to this traffic one-third of the revenue of the benefices which fell to the crown during-the period of their vacancy, and the fund became very large through the benefices being purposely left vacant. A 'converted* Huguenot named Pelisson was employed to administer the fund, and he published long lists of 'conversions' in the Gazette, but he concealed the fact that the takers of his bribes belonged to the dregs of the people. At length many were detected undergoing 'conversion' several times over, upon which a proclamation was published that persons found guilty of this offense would have their goods and property forfeited, and be sentenced to perpetual banishment.

But another circumstance materially contributed to hasten the exodus of the foreign artisans. This was the sudden outbreak of war between England and France in 1336. Philip de Valois, the French king, artfully stirred up Louis de Nevers, Count of Flanders, to strike a blow against England in his behalf; and an order was issued by him for the arrest of all the English then in the Low Countries. The order was executed; but it was speedily felt that the blow had been struck at Flanders rather than at England. PHILADELPHIA 8 ILK A 3D RAISED EMBROIDERY, CROCHETING.

It wa3 a placo full of working peoples-mechanics, woolcarders, fullers, cloth-makers and artisans. The proximity to Flanders, and the similarity of their trade to that of the larger Flemish towns, occasioned a degree of intercourse between them, which doubtless contributed to the propagation of the new views at Meaux, where the hearts of the poor artisans were greatly moVed by the tidings of the Gospel which reached them from the North.

JOHN McKENNA, "The great body of the Huguenots remaining immovable and refusing to bo converted, it was found necessary to resort to more violent measures. Tbej were next attaeked in their tonder«0t place—through their affections. Children of seven years old were empowered to leave their parents and become converted, and many were forcibly abducted from their homes, and immured in convent-prisons for education in the Romish faith at the expense of their parents." " Edward, on his part, was not slow to retaliate. lie prohibited the export of English wool as well as the import of Flemish cloth- The Flemings thus found themselves at the same time deprived of their indispensable supply of raw material, and shut out from one of the principal markets for the sale of their goods.— At the same time Edward took the opportunity of reiterating, which he did with increased effect, his invitation to the Flemish artisans to oomo over to where they would be amply'supplieiTwTth wool, and provided with ready markets for all the cloth they could manufacture. He granted a charter for the express purpose of protecting such foreign merchants and artisans as might settle in England, guaranteeing them security in the pursuit of their industry, freedom to trade within the realm, exemption from certain duties, good and prompt justice, good weight and good measure. These measures proved successful in a remarkable degree. Large numbers of Flemings forthwith migrated into England, bringing with them their tools, their skill, and their industry. The French king tried, when too late, to stop the emigration, but he found it impossible to stop the flight of the artisans through the ports of Flanders into the dominions of his enemy.

Solomon, the reputed wise man, has been accused of saying: " Lovo is as strong as death ; many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it." "At the same time, men of learning in the Church had long been meditating over the abuses which prevailed in it, and devising tbe best means for remedying them. Among tho most earnest of tbese was Jacques Lefevre, a native of Etaples in Picardy. He was a man of great and acknowledged learning, one of the most distinguished professors in tbe University of Paris. The study of the Bible produced the same effect upon uis mind that it had done on that of Luther ; but he was a man of for different temperament—gentle, retiring and timid, though no less devoted to the cause of truth. He was, however, an old man of seventy ; his life was last fleeting; yet here was a world lying in wickedness iround him. What he could do he nevertheless did. He translated the four Gospels into French in 1523; had them printed at Antwerp; and put them into circulation. He found a faithful follower in Guillaume Farel —a young, energetft and active man—who abounded in those qualities in which the aged Lefevre was so deficient. Another coadjutor shortly joined them—nc other than Guillaume Briconnet, count of Montbrun and bishop of Meaux, who also became a convert to the new STEWART PIERCE, G. M. HARDING, O. COLLINS, CHAS.

Now we all know that Solomon was full of wise saws and modern instancea, and that great wisdom was accounted unto him; but some other Solomon of latter days has declared that "Lore is an emotion much written about by novelists, and much dreamed of by school girls, but nearly obsolete in practical life." Soon after this, commenced the memorable " dragonnades." Great numbers of troops were quartered on the " unconverted"; and, through the frightful cruelties practiced by a brutal soldiery, inflamed with religious zeal, many of their helpless victims were driven, in sheer desperation, to abjure their faith, as the only means of escaping outrages worse than death. At Nismes, an entire army was quartered on the inhabitants, and with such effect that the city was "converted" in twenty-four hours. Wherever religious meetings of Prot estants were discovered, the participants were forthwith slaughtered, often with every refinement of cruelty. Finally, the last shadow of protection was taken from the unhappy Huguenots by the formal revocation, in 1685, of the Edict of Nantes, the effect of which is thus described —viz: WM. 8.

Two great waves of foreign population then flowed over from the Continent into England—probably the largest in point of numbers which have occurred since tbe dale of the Saxon settlement. The first took place in the latter half of the sixteenth ccntury, and consisted partly of French, but principally of Flemish Protestants; the second, toward the end of the seventeenth century, consisted almost entirely of French Huguenots.

"The bishop, on taking charge of his diocese, had been shocked by the disorders which prevailed there, by the licentiousness of the clergy, and their general disregard for religious life and duty. As many of them were non-resident, lie invited Lefevre, Farel, and others, to occupy their pulpits and preach to the people, the bishop preaching in his turn ; and the people flocked to hear them. The bishop also distributed the four Gospels gratuitously among the poor, und very soon a copy was to be found in almost overy workshop In Meaux. A reformation of manners shortly followed. Blasphemy, drunkenness, and disorder disappeared; and the movement spread far and near.

He had even gone so far as to suppose her an angel on the earth, and waa contemplating " fastening the connubial gordian complicated entanglement about his neck," when his ideal, instead of casting bright rays of sunshine around his heart, in response to his declared love, caused him to believe most effectually that the never-dying element was an incinerable substance, and that love was *11 gammon—a farce.

"It must not be supposed, however, that the supporters of the old were indifferent to these proceedings. At first they had been stunned by the sudden spread of the new views and the rapid increase of the Gospellers, as they were called, throughout the northern provinces; but they speedily rallied from their stupor.— They knew that power was on their side—the power of kings and Parliaments, and their agents; and these, tbey loudly called to their help for the purpose of preventing the spread of heresy. At the same time, Rome, roused by her danger, availed herself of all methods for winning back her wandering children, by force if not by suasion.

The object of Louis XIV. was not to depopulate his kingdom, bat to establish conlormity in matters of faith; not so much to extirpate Protestants as Protestantism. Hence the restriction on emigration. Even tho hard choice of exile or abjuration was denied his Protestant subjects; both emigration and freedom of conscience were forbidden them ; tbe penalties cf constancy to faith were scarcely more cruel than the punishment for attempting to avoid them by flight Nevertheless, in spite of all the precautions, and all the vigilance of their enemies, large numbers of Huguenots escaped into tbe neighboring countries—into England, Holland, Switzerland, and the Protestant States of Germany—where they were received with the utmost kindness; while many others were detected in the attempt, and perished under the fury of their persecutors.

A description is given of the circumstances under which emigration from the continent to England commenced, from which we make the following extracts—viz: MILLINERY AND rjlO AND FROM THE DEPOT! PETER M. TRAUGH Calls the attention of the pnblic to his facilities for the manufacture of a superior article of nature. An Oil Piujice in BAXKnurTCT.—The Pittsburg Commercial says that John W. Steele, farmiliarly known as " Johnny" Steele, and somewhat distinguished as an "oil prince," having for a considerable length of time enjoyed the princely income of $2,000 per day, on Thursday filed a voluntary petition in Bankruptcy. Many of our readers will remember the romantic history of bis exploits in the East, published some time ago. during which he is reported to have squandered several hundred thousand dollars. After having "sowed his wild oats," and losing his oil farm he found himself in rather straitened circumstances, and was recently compelled to earn a living by driving an oil team. His indebtedness, as set forth in his pe titioD, amounts to over $100,000. Some of the items are quito heavy, a few of which we note. To Henry W. Eanaga.of the Girard House, Philadelphia, he owes $19,824; to Wm. A. Galbraith, Attorney-at-law, Erie, $10,000; E. Caldwell Cfc Co., Philadelphia, for jewelry, $5,805 ; John D. Jones, for harness, $1,250; Wm. Horn * Co., for cigars, $562; E. H. Conklin, Philadelphia, liquors, $2,024; Phelan Collendcr, Philadelphia, for billiard tables, $1,500 ; to an unknown creditor, for oil paintings, $2,200; to the account for hats, $300. A considerable amount of his indebtedness is for money borrowed, notes, judgments, etc. When "Johnny" took a notion to rent a hotel for a few days he would do so; and whenever he saw anything that pleased his fanny he was bound to have it regardless of cost. Perhaps no mnn in the United States ever squandered as much money in the same space of time. Col. Grace of Arkansas, who drew tho Secession Ordinance of 1S61, and ex-Gov.

A daughter may yield her life to the preservation of a parent, and a sister may devote herself to a suffering brother; but the feelings which prompt her to this condnct towards near and dear relatives, are not equal to those which induce the faithful and loving wife to follow the husband of her choice through every pain and peril thst may befall him through life's journey. No; the ties which bind the dutiful wife to her chosen companion, are more sacred and imposing than any other conventional, earthly alliances, save her Lord's. The love that prompts her to watch over her husband in danger, to cheer him in the hours of adversity, and ever remain unalterably in all disasters and tribulations, is indeed incomparable; and the true wife will ever do this. Adjoining D. Lamb's Boot and Shoe Store. MRS. D. LAMB, having recently opened a desirable stock of Millinery and Fancy Goods, invites the Attention of the ladies to the same. Her stock comprises" There was, however, a lull for a time in tlje violence of the persecutions, during which the new views mado rapid progress; and men of rank, ol learning, and of arms, ranged them selves on the side of 'The Religion.' Then arose the Huguenots or French Protestants, who shortly became so numerous as to constitute a considerable power in the state, and to exercise, during the next hundred years, a most important influence on the political history of France." "Although the early English kings had been accustomed to encourage the immigration of foreign artisans, it was not until the reign of Edward III., usually styled * the fathei of English commerce," that any decided progress was made by this country in manufacturing industry. That sagacious monarch held that, aB regarded the necessaries of life, clothing as well as food, the people of his kingdom should be as much as possible independent of foreign supply. In the early part of his reign the English people relied mainly upon the Flemish manufacturers for the better sorts of clothing, while the English wool-growers looked to the Flemish wool-markets as the chief outlet for their produce. So long as peaceful relations existed between the two countries, the exchange of the paw produce for the manufactured articles went on, to the benefit of both. But when these were interrupted by civil broils in Flanders, by feuds among the guilds, or by war between the two countries, serious inconveniences were immediately felt. The English producer lost a market for his staple at the same time that the English consumer was deprived of the supply of clothing on which he had been accustomed to rely.

In 1563 the massacre of Vassy took place, quickly followed by others of like character; and the struggle between Catholics and Huguenots soon assumed the character of civil war.

BAXTER- This work is one of remarkable interest, in both an historical and a religious point of view. The period of which it treats was that which witnessed the stupendous collision between conservatism and reform in the religious world, inaugurated by Martin Luther; in which the rack, the dungeon and the stake were deemed legitimate means of combating religious error. Nowhere were these instrumentalities employed more promptly,more thoroughly, or more remorselessly, than throughout the dominions of " His most Christian Majesty" the King of France. But, " The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church"; and the numerous imprisonments and executions of Protestants were followed by the results that most commonly attend the use of such " means of grace." The new faith steadily gained ground among all classes, and was soon embraced by some of the highest and noblest in the kingdom. In the cold I in the cold t One poor lamb out of the fold.

What the Roman Catholics thought of U may be inferred from the protest of the Pope, Clement VIII., who wrote to say that ' a decree which gave liberty of conscience to all was the most accursed that had ever been made.'

In the western part of the city lives a German family, consisting of man and wife, with six children, the eldest child about eighteen, and the youngest a daughter three years, lacking about four months. The latter, until she was about two years of age, was in every respect like other children. At that time the child was taken sick, and Dr. Wm. Stark, the family phy■ician, was called in. He found the case a veTy peculiar one, to which the recordB of medical science aB yet present no parallel. At that time a phenomenon appeared in this little girl's life which is abnormal, the usual time being more than half a score years later. Since that change phenomena incident to a later time of life appear with normal regularity, with a corresponding physical development in every re•pect. The body has grown more rapidly than fc usual for children of that age, and the mind has developed not quite proportionately, but much beyond her age.

The proximity to Flanders, and the similarity of their trade to that of the larger Flemish towns, occasioned a degree of intercourse between them, which doubtless contributed to the propagation of the new views at Meaux, where the hearts of the poor artisans were greatly moVed by the tidings of the Gospel which reached them from the North.

Tbej were next attaeked in their tonder«0t place—through their affections. Children of seven years old were empowered to leave their parents and become converted, and many were forcibly abducted from their homes, and immured in convent-prisons for education in the Romish faith at the expense of their parents." " Edward, on his part, was not slow to retaliate. lie prohibited the export of English wool as well as the import of Flemish cloth- The Flemings thus found themselves at the same time deprived of their indispensable supply of raw material, and shut out from one of the principal markets for the sale of their goods.— At the same time Edward took the opportunity of reiterating, which he did with increased effect, his invitation to the Flemish artisans to oomo over to where they would be amply'supplieiTwTth wool, and provided with ready markets for all the cloth they could manufacture. He granted a charter for the express purpose of protecting such foreign merchants and artisans as might settle in England, guaranteeing them security in the pursuit of their industry, freedom to trade within the realm, exemption from certain duties, good and prompt justice, good weight and good measure. These measures proved successful in a remarkable degree. Large numbers of Flemings forthwith migrated into England, bringing with them their tools, their skill, and their industry. The French king tried, when too late, to stop the emigration, but he found it impossible to stop the flight of the artisans through the ports of Flanders into the dominions of his enemy.

Solomon, the reputed wise man, has been accused of saying: " Lovo is as strong as death ; many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it." "At the same time, men of learning in the Church had long been meditating over the abuses which prevailed in it, and devising tbe best means for remedying them. Among tho most earnest of tbese was Jacques Lefevre, a native of Etaples in Picardy. He was a man of great and acknowledged learning, one of the most distinguished professors in tbe University of Paris. The study of the Bible produced the same effect upon uis mind that it had done on that of Luther ; but he was a man of for different temperament—gentle, retiring and timid, though no less devoted to the cause of truth. He was, however, an old man of seventy ; his life was last fleeting; yet here was a world lying in wickedness iround him. What he could do he nevertheless did. He translated the four Gospels into French in 1523; had them printed at Antwerp; and put them into circulation. He found a faithful follower in Guillaume Farel —a young, energetft and active man—who abounded in those qualities in which the aged Lefevre was so deficient. Another coadjutor shortly joined them—nc other than Guillaume Briconnet, count of Montbrun and bishop of Meaux, who also became a convert to the new STEWART PIERCE, G. M. HARDING, O. COLLINS, CHAS.

Now we all know that Solomon was full of wise saws and modern instancea, and that great wisdom was accounted unto him; but some other Solomon of latter days has declared that "Lore is an emotion much written about by novelists, and much dreamed of by school girls, but nearly obsolete in practical life." Soon after this, commenced the memorable " dragonnades." Great numbers of troops were quartered on the " unconverted"; and, through the frightful cruelties practiced by a brutal soldiery, inflamed with religious zeal, many of their helpless victims were driven, in sheer desperation, to abjure their faith, as the only means of escaping outrages worse than death. At Nismes, an entire army was quartered on the inhabitants, and with such effect that the city was "converted" in twenty-four hours. Wherever religious meetings of Prot estants were discovered, the participants were forthwith slaughtered, often with every refinement of cruelty. Finally, the last shadow of protection was taken from the unhappy Huguenots by the formal revocation, in 1685, of the Edict of Nantes, the effect of which is thus described —viz: WM. 8.

Two great waves of foreign population then flowed over from the Continent into England—probably the largest in point of numbers which have occurred since tbe dale of the Saxon settlement.

Hence the restriction on emigration. Even tho hard choice of exile or abjuration was denied his Protestant subjects; both emigration and freedom of conscience were forbidden them ; tbe penalties cf constancy to faith were scarcely more cruel than the punishment for attempting to avoid them by flight Nevertheless, in spite of all the precautions, and all the vigilance of their enemies, large numbers of Huguenots escaped into tbe neighboring countries—into England, Holland, Switzerland, and the Protestant States of Germany—where they were received with the utmost kindness; while many others were detected in the attempt, and perished under the fury of their persecutors.

CENTRAL BOOK & MUSIC STORE OPPOSITE COOPER'S IIALL, gAGLE FORGE We do not believe jn resorting to the many subterfuges of the present day, in matters pertaining to love. Masking love is very ungeDerous as well as improper, and the results often hazardous in the extreme. Woman's love, like the rose blossoming in the arid desert, spreads its rays over the barren plain of the human heart, and while all around it is drear and desolate, it rises more strengthened from the ab- Benco of every other charm. In no situation does the love of woman appear more beautiful than in the sphere of wife. To bo sure, parents, brethren and friends, we will admit, have claims upon the affections; but the love of a wife is, we contend, of a distinct and different IIow beautifully and truthfully expressed !

A description is given of the circumstances under which emigration from the continent to England commenced, from which we make the following extracts—viz: MILLINERY AND rjlO AND FROM THE DEPOT! PETER M. TRAUGH Calls the attention of the pnblic to his facilities for the manufacture of a superior article of nature. An Oil Piujice in BAXKnurTCT.—The Pittsburg Commercial says that John W. Steele, farmiliarly known as " Johnny" Steele, and somewhat distinguished as an "oil prince," having for a considerable length of time enjoyed the princely income of $2,000 per day, on Thursday filed a voluntary petition in Bankruptcy. Many of our readers will remember the romantic history of bis exploits in the East, published some time ago. during which he is reported to have squandered several hundred thousand dollars. After having "sowed his wild oats," and losing his oil farm he found himself in rather straitened circumstances, and was recently compelled to earn a living by driving an oil team. His indebtedness, as set forth in his pe titioD, amounts to over $100,000. Some of the items are quito heavy, a few of which we note. To Henry W. Eanaga.of the Girard House, Philadelphia, he owes $19,824; to Wm. A. Galbraith, Attorney-at-law, Erie, $10,000; E. Caldwell Cfc Co., Philadelphia, for jewelry, $5,805 ; John D. Jones, for harness, $1,250; Wm. Horn * Co., for cigars, $562; E. H. Conklin, Philadelphia, liquors, $2,024; Phelan Collendcr, Philadelphia, for billiard tables, $1,500 ; to an unknown creditor, for oil paintings, $2,200; to the account for hats, $300. A considerable amount of his indebtedness is for money borrowed, notes, judgments, etc. When "Johnny" took a notion to rent a hotel for a few days he would do so; and whenever he saw anything that pleased his fanny he was bound to have it regardless of cost. Perhaps no mnn in the United States ever squandered as much money in the same space of time. Col. Grace of Arkansas, who drew tho Secession Ordinance of 1S61, and ex-Gov.

A daughter may yield her life to the preservation of a parent, and a sister may devote herself to a suffering brother; but the feelings which prompt her to this condnct towards near and dear relatives, are not equal to those which induce the faithful and loving wife to follow the husband of her choice through every pain and peril thst may befall him through life's journey. No; the ties which bind the dutiful wife to her chosen companion, are more sacred and imposing than any other conventional, earthly alliances, save her Lord's. The love that prompts her to watch over her husband in danger, to cheer him in the hours of adversity, and ever remain unalterably in all disasters and tribulations, is indeed incomparable; and the true wife will ever do this.

Then arose the Huguenots or French Protestants, who shortly became so numerous as to constitute a considerable power in the state, and to exercise, during the next hundred years, a most important influence on the political history of France." "Although the early English kings had been accustomed to encourage the immigration of foreign artisans, it was not until the reign of Edward III., usually styled * the fathei of English commerce," that any decided progress was made by this country in manufacturing industry. That sagacious monarch held that, aB regarded the necessaries of life, clothing as well as food, the people of his kingdom should be as much as possible independent of foreign supply. In the early part of his reign the English people relied mainly upon the Flemish manufacturers for the better sorts of clothing, while the English wool-growers looked to the Flemish wool-markets as the chief outlet for their produce. So long as peaceful relations existed between the two countries, the exchange of the paw produce for the manufactured articles went on, to the benefit of both. But when these were interrupted by civil broils in Flanders, by feuds among the guilds, or by war between the two countries, serious inconveniences were immediately felt. The English producer lost a market for his staple at the same time that the English consumer was deprived of the supply of clothing on which he had been accustomed to rely.

In 1563 the massacre of Vassy took place, quickly followed by others of like character; and the struggle between Catholics and Huguenots soon assumed the character of civil war.
