If we need higher illustration not only of the power of natural objccis to adorn language and gratify taste, but proof that here we find the highest conceivable beauty, we would appeal at once to the Bible. Those moat opposed to its teachings have acknowledged the beauty of its language, and this is due mainly to the exquisite use of natural objects for illustration. It does indeed draw from every field. Bat when the emotional nature was to be appealed to, the the reference was at once to natural objects, and throughout all its books, the stars, and flower?, and gems, are prominent as illustrations of the beauties of religion and the glories of the church.

BRAINARD, PITTSTON, PA, Once there was a bad little boy, whose name was Jim—though if you Will notice, yon will find that bad little boys are nearly always called James ic your Sunday-school books. It waa very strange, but still it was true, that this one was called Jim. He didn't have any sick mother, either—a sick mother who waa pious, and had the consumption, and would be glad to lie down in the grave and be at rest, but for the strong love ahe bore her boy, and the anxiety she felt that the world would be harsh and cold toward him when she was gone. Most bad boys in the Sunday books are named James, and have sick mothers who toach them to say, "Now I lay me down to sleep," etc., and sing them to sleep with sweet plaintive voices, and then kiss them good night and kneel down by the bedside and weep. But it was different with this fellow. He was named Jim, and there wasn't anything the matter with his motherno consumption, or anything of that kind. She waa rather stout than otherwise, and she was not pious; moreover, she waa not anxious on Jim's account; she said if he was to break his neck, it wouldn't be much less; she always spanked Jim to sleep, and she never kissed him good night} on the contrary, she boxed his ears when she waa ready to leave him. Once thia little bad boy atole the key of the pantry, and slipped in there and helped himself to some jam, and filled up the vessel with tar, so that hia mother would never know the difference, but all at once a terrible feeling didn't come and something didn't seem to whisper to him. Is it right to disobey my mother ?— Isn't it sinful to do this ? 'Where do bad little boys go who gobble up their good,kind mother's jam ? and then he didn't kneel down all alone and promise never to be wicked any more, and rise up with a light, happy heart, and go and tell his mother all about it, and beg her forgiveness, and be blessed by her with tears of pride and thankfulness in his eyes. No; that is the way with all other bad boys in the books, but it happened otherwise with this Jim, strangely enough. He ate that jam, and said it was bully, in his sinful, vulgar way ; and he put in the tar, and said that was bully also, and laughed, and observed that the "old Woman would get up and snort" when she found it out; and when she did find it out he denied knowing anything about it, and she whipped him severely and he did the crying himself. Everything about this boy was curions—everything turned out differently with him from the way it does to the bad Jameses in the books. Once he climed up in Farmer acorn's apple tree to steal apples, and the linib didn't break, and he didn't fall and break his arm, and get torn by the farmer's great dog, and then languish on a sick bed for weeks and repent and become good. Oh, no ; he stole as many aples as he wanted, and eame down all right, and he was always for the dogs, too, and knocked him endways with a rock when he came too near him. It was very strange—nothing like it ever happened to this mild little books with marble backs, and with pictures in them of men with swallow-tailed coats and bell-crowned hats, and pantaloons that are short in the legs, and women with waists of their dresses under their arms and no hoops on. Nothing like it in any of the Sunday school books. Once ho stole the teacher's penknife, and when he was afraid it would be found out and he would get whipped, he slipped it into George Wilson's cap, the moral boy, the good little boy of the village, who always obeyed his mother, and never told an untruth, and was fond of his lessons and infatuated with Sundayschool. And when the knife dropped from the cap and poor George hung his head and blushed as if in conscious guilt, and the grieved teacher charged the theft upon him, and was just in the act of bringing the switch down upon his trembling shoulders when a white-haired improbable justice of the peace did not suddenly appear in their midst and strike an attitude and say, " Spare this noble boy—there stands the cowering culprit ' I waa passing the school door at recess, and unseen myself, I saw the theft committed."GRIFFITH THOMAS, Pkoprietor.

Pi tUton, April 16,1863.—ly At that time none were more severe ia their dennnciations of this upstart than the crowned heads of Europe. Their ancient hatred of the Corsican general, who had toppled so many of their ancestors from their hereditary thrones, was reinforced by their contempt for the nephew who in his eagerness to seise upon power, had made two futile attempts at revolutions, and had winked at some of the worst tenets of the socialists, in order to curry favor with the mob. They scarcely aeknowledged his government, even when it had been nominally approved by the plebiscite, or vote of the people; they disdained to associate with him in person and for many years they looked with an eye of suspicion and ill-favor, if not with open animosity, upon the policy of this intruder into their sacred desmensnes. He was a jackdaw that had stolen the Peacock's feathers ; a demagogue who was corrupting the holy worship of legitimate sovereignty; and a disturber, constantly threatening with his vast armies the peace as well as the Order of Europe.

ALBRIGHT, IIENRY 3. FISTSR, July5,1866-lw. JOHN McDOUGAL. But how changcd the scene now ! Louis Napoleon with an adroitness that does honor to bis intellect, is the host of all the crowned headsofthe continent. The King and Queen of the Belgians are here, feted day and night by all the authorities, and hobnobing with the Emperor on endless excursions. The Queen of Portugal has been here, residing with Prince Napoleon, and receiving the hospitalities of the Tuileries. The Queen of England in the person of the Prince of Wales—future King of England—has been here, and has been sump tuously entertained. Next week the Emperor of Russia is coming, and the dinners, the festivals the races, the reviews, the operas that are preparing for him fill the columns of the journals. When he is gone the King of Prussia is coming, with Bismark and a shoal of notabilities from tho former German States. Then Victor Emanuel, the King of Italy, will cross the Alps to grasp Napoleon by the hand, and even the Sultan hioiself, with a suit of fivo hundred well bearded and many wived Turks into the royal line, that he may pay his respects to the Emporer—of the French—no, for the nonce Emperor of Europe. As the Tycoon of Japan is already represented by his brother, it needs only the Grand Kahu of Tartary and the Brother of the Moon, who prosides over the destinies of China—perhaps one ought to include the President of the United States among theso distant potentates—render the triumph complete.— Louis the Fourteeth was flattered when a Doge of Venice consented to tread tho polished floors of his newly built Versailles; the rencontre of ■ingle monarch on some Field of Cloth of Gold is a perpetual topic of history; for sovereigns have been apt to visit each other only a* conquerors and exiles. Bat here we have a very Vanity Fair of monarchs; a rendexvous of U1 the Lord's Anointed ia the modern Babylon ; a Walpurgis dance of coronets and stars and titles, and all the other superfine and high-sounding artificialities that the lackeyhoodof mankind have invested to guild over baseness, fraud falsehood and tyranny.

HART PHILLIPS; THEY ARE WARRENTED, Her'Majesty says a correspondent of the Boaton Journal, lives in great retirement. She has a private station at which she arrives ia the train. She has private grounds in which the drives. Servants complain bitterly of the quiet and inactivity of everything royal. The horses are unused, and the stable men yawn in indolcnce. Little company is received. The state plate has never been used'since the death of Prince Albert. Her private apartments are in chargc of a Highlander, named Brown. lie is tbe Queen's domestic prime minister, and has more influence over her than Derby. He attends Her Majesty to and from London, and gives orders with imperial grace. He holds his position to the intense disgust of the English members of the royal household. On state occasions he goes bare-legged, and the servants who do his will, coming from tho Queen's private apartments, wear the same significant Highland" costume. The Queen docs not attend the royal chapelB, either ia London or Windsor, as she dislikes to be gazed at. She has private chapels at Windsor and Buckingham, where she worships. When public duties call her to St. George's Chapel, she enters her closet, which is merely a bay window jutting into the chapelt covered with curtains and adorned simply with purple, from which site can see all and be seen by none. She has her own special servants, through whom all orders are issued. Even the crowd of men who wear the royal livery aaa sleep under the same roof do not see the Queen from one year's end to another. Her drives are all private. The Home Park hu a drive of six miles. The royal forest of Windsor extends over one hundred miles in extent, so the Queen need not suffer for want of exercise. The elegant state horses champ and snort in the stables, while the Queen, in a low-backed wagoa, a low-wheeled carriage, and her stubby pony takes a drive. CS. BECK, M.

As a good coffee-maker would say, " Don't burn your ooffee but brown itso we say* don't dry your hay, but cure it. Our good mothers who relied on herb tea instead of apothecaries' medicina, gathered their herbs when in blossom and cured them in the shade. This is tho philosophy of-making good hay. Cut in the blossom and cure in the shade. The sugar of the plant, when it is in bloom, is in the stalk ready to form the seeds. If the plant is cut early the sugar Is not there ; if later, the sugar ha* become converted woody matter. Hay should be well wilted in the sun, but cured in the cock. Better be a little too green than too dry. If, on putting it in the barn,there is danger of heating the mow, put on some salt. It is said by some that lime is equally as good as salt. J.

Perry, of Oregon, writes to Secretary Seward the following interesting facts relative to the mineral wealth of our new Territory :— 1st, I have in my possession a piece of gold of the weight of half an ounce, whieh was panned out, or mined, in Russian America during the year 1862. The person who presented the piece to me told me many strange stories of the mineral wealth of that country, which he undoubtedly believed and narrated to me at various times during a prospecting tour through Eastern Oregon and Idaho. Among the many and various statements were some such as these t— " That he found coarse gold in both slate and quarts rock, that he found masses of copper and positively affirmed that in one locality there was steaming verdigris; that on Bristol river there was abundant coal cropping!," and, with many other curious facts, geographical and otherwise, he often related to me. 2d. At the present time I have in my employ one of the Stickeen river prospectors, who, after passing through the thirty miles of Kussian territory, continued up the Stickeen some 300 miles—said to have pierced the country 100 miles further inland than any other party of prospoctors.— The next party below them on the river was the French company, outfitted by the Government of British Columbia, who pushed their explorations no further than what is known by Stickeen prospectors-as the " Great Glacicr."— STUDIO, JJc DO UG ALL'S INGRAIN AND BRUSSELS CARPETS At Miller's Photograph Rooms.

And then Jim didn't get wbale4, and the venerable justice didn't read the fearful school a homily, and take George by the hand and Bay such a boy deserves to be exalted, and then tell him to come and make his home with him, and sweep out the office, and make fires, and run, errands, and chop wood, and study law, and help his wife to do household labors, and have all the balance of the time to play, and get forty cents a month and be happy. No, it would have happened that way in the books, but it didn't happen that way to Jim. No meddling old claim of justice, dropped in to make trouble and so the model boy, George, got threshed, and Jim was glad of it. Because, you know, Jim hated moral boys. Jim said he, was down on them milk-sops. Such was the coarse language oi this bad neglected buy. But the strangest things that ever happened to Jim, was the time lie went boating on Sunday, and didn't get drowned; and that other timo that ho got caught out in a storm when he was fishing on Sunday, and didn't get struck by lightning. Why, you might look, and look through the Sunday-school books from now till next Christmas, and you would never come across anything like this.— Oh, no; you would find that all the bad boys who go boating on Sunday invariably got drowned, and all the bad boys|who get caught out in storms, when they are fishing on Sunday, infallibly get struck by lightning. Boats with bad boys in them, always upset on Sunday, and it always storms when bad boys go fishing on the Sabbath. How Jim ever escaped this is a mystery to me. This Jim bore a charmed life ; that must have been the way of it. Nothing could hurt him. lie even gavo the elephant in the menagerie, a plug of tobacco, and the elephant didn't knock the top of his head otf with hit trunk. He browsed around the cupboard aftor essenco of peppermint, and didn't mako a mistake and drink aqua fortis.

Everything may be made interesting to it, by becoming a subject of thought or inquiry. Books, regarded merely as a gratification, are worth more than all the luxuries ou earth. A taste for literature secures cheerful occupation for the unemployed and languid hours of life; and how many persons, in  hours, for want of innocent resources, are now impelled to coarse and brutal pleasure ! Hdw many young men can be found in all cities and towns, who, unaccustomed to find a companion in a book, and strangers to intellectual activity, are almost driven, in the long, dull evening of winter, to haunts'of intemperance, and dopraving society! which he will sell at tlie lowest rates at whii'h they can be afforded.
