When the heart is sad and lonely, And the world seems dark and drear; Whon the beauteous gladsomo flowers, Seem to bloom In mockery only, And each dew drop scents a tear, And the momenta seem like hours; As they come, bne by one, Laden with the joys and sorrows, Of the future whose dark portals; . The Almighty in his goodnoss, Closes to tho eyes of moatals. When the splendors of the snnlight, Brilliantly, yot sadly gleam ; While the melancholy stdrbeami, A thousand; thousand beauties teem. 'Tis then that those whose hearts are bound, By friendships golden tics to ours, - Seem doubly dear and as the cloud, Of sadness o'er the lone heart lowors, They love to oomo and o'er our pathway strew The flowers of sympathy and share Our every sorrow, every care, Whioh as we toil lifo's jouruey throogli, Come thicker, faster till the weight,' Seems more than one can bear. EUGENE C, Mt. Vernox, Septembor 1, 1857. TUG SfcCJKUINU I'UKsBVTE. The Presbyterian Convention which convened at Richmond, week before last, to take measures in view of the action of the Cleve land Assembly, adjourned after a session of five days. Tho following resolutions Were passed. Vhtreds, AH acts, resolutions and testimonials of past General Assemblies, and especially the action of the last General Assembly, whereby suspicions and doubts of tho feotfd standing and equal lights add privileges of siaveuoiuihg members ol the Church, or im putations oi charges, against their Christian character, havo been either implied or expressed, are contrary to tho examples and teachings of Christ and his Apostle; and are a violation of tho Constitution of the Presbyterian Church ; , ni Whereas, -The relation of master and servand, in Use! considered, or further than tho relative duties arising therefrom, and slavery as an institution of the State, do not properly belong to the Church judicatories as subjects fur discussion and inquiry; An t Miereaa, In the judgment ot this convention there is no prospect of thecessation of this agitation Of slavery ih the General Assembly so loftg as thero are slaveholders in connection with the Church : therefore, JlesolveJ, That we recommend to the Presbyteries in connection with the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America to withdraw from suid body. . Besolved, That ih the judgment of this con vention, nothing can be made the basis for discipline in tho Presbyterian Church, which is not spccillcally referred to in the Constitution as crime or heresy. Resolved, That (he General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church has no power to pro nounce a sentence ol condemnation on a low er judiciary or individuals for any cause, unless they havo been brought before the Assembly in tho way described by the Constitution.JlesolveJ, That the Convention recommeud to fill tho Presbyteries in tho Presbyterian Church, which are opposed to the agitation of slavery in the h:ghest j udicatory of tho church, to appoint delegates in the proportion pre scribed by our form of government for the appointment of Commissioners to the Assembly to meet at Knoxville, Tenn., on the first Thursday in April loon, at 7 P. m., lor the purpose of organizing a general Synod under the name of " The United Synod of the Presbycerian Church of the United States of America." Resolved, That tho members of this Con vention adhorc to and abide by the Confession of faith of tho Presbyterian Church, as con taining the system ol doctrine taught in the Hoi v Scriptures; and that We adhere to the form of government and book of discipline of said Church. After it was found that the above resolu tions were adopted, Dr. Newton, of Missisippi, who favored a union with the Old School, offered a resolution expressing sympathy with that body, and a very general desire for union. His resolution, which was adopted, was as follows : Resolved. That the union between us and our Old School brethren, could it bo ell'ected on terms acceptable to both sides, would be conducive to the best interests of tho Church of Christ, and this Convention, after a freo and full interchange of opinion and views on the sumcct, do now rcccommcd that the Sy nod, when formed and duly organized, .shall invite the General Assembly of the Old School to a fraternal conference with a view to anion. Two morobcrs of the Convention, Dr. Boyd and Rev. Mr. Mitchell, remained silent during the taking of the vote on this resolution. ihe house having thus disposed of its busi ness, after a brief speech by the president, ad journed. Tho Baltimore AmerWn remarks : Two courses were proposed in the Conven tion ; one was a union with the Old School General Assembly i the other the formation of a sepcrate ecclesiastical body legitimately l'resbytenan in all respects, and with, the avowal as a leading principle that the institution of slavery does not properly belong to the church judicatories as a subject tor discus sion and inquiry, thus excluding entirely this disturbing question. The convention adjourned, without deckling absolutely between the two, Tor while by resolution they have recommended all be presbyteries in the Presbyterian Church, which are opposed to the agitation of slavery in the highest judicatory of the church to send delelegatesto nnosville, ienn.,on toe third Thnnulav nf Mnv no Jt. fof the DDroose ol organising as the "United Stales Synod of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America,"" they have also left the door open for a union, if practicable, with tb Old school uenerai Assembly. .

As we were riding in the cars, the following incident occurred, which made a deep impres sion on our minds. While the train stopped a few moments at the station, a venerable man arose, and having uncovered his head deliver ed himself, as near as we can recollect in the following manner : " My friends, we are passengers in this train; we oceupy these seats, to-morrow tbey will be occupied by others, perhaps entire stranger to us. Wo are more or less interested in each other's welfare, and hopo that we may safelv reach the end of our journey, lo pur sue the figure, we aro passengers bound to the enternal world. Let us then bo wise and into the car of salvation, whose conductor is tho Savior of the world. May Heavon bless you nil, and may wo meet where there is no part ing, and where all tears aro wiped away." lis wMrcss was snort, but to tno purpose. It seemed so opposite and appropriate that the savins of tho wise man. " A word spoken in due season, how good is it !" instantly passed through my mind, as a nail fastened in a sure place was the elfcct of it. Wo are thinking of his words still. Tho time, tho place, his tottering form, and venerable appearance we caunot scon forget. We thought of tire shortness of time, the accidents and uncertain-ties of life, the cortainty of death and coming judg ment. Who knows but that his short address may have an important bearing upon tho future welfare of many in the car? Who can tell but in that brief speech some fell upon good ground. Cftrislian Advertiser. 0 The amiablo and gifted Jane Taylor, the last time she took (rp Ikt pen- it was on the day preceding her deaths-wrote as follows . . i . .. , i , 'Oh, ry dear frie'niJgy if yorl fcnervr trfnrl I have now, you would see, as I do, that the whole business of life is preparation for death-." How mucK timo is spent in preparing to live I ' How little in preparing to die I ' One who had lived mora than fiftr years said, as tna nana or oeain was upon mm. i have all my days been getting ready to live, and now 1 mut die.''

Take your places. ounject oi lo-uay s lesson f Answer. Tho young American. Q. Where is this animal found ? A. In Uppertendom. Q. Can it exist in any but its native air ? A. It cannot thrite except where civiliza tion is overgrown. Q. To what other species is it nearly al lied? A. The monkey. Q. Which most resembles man ? A. Some naturalists place the Young Amer- ican next to man, but by most it is considered interior to the monttey. Q. Describo the Younz American. A. Body and limbs exceedingly slight head small and very erect, being light the coat smboth and glittering in spots with tho brilliancy of gold or gems eyes usually mild and gentle in expression, though when the animal is roused, they are capable of a furious glaro.. A striking peculiarity is tho long fur or hair, which, with same, quite covers the face, with others, all but a narrow spaco below the eyes. Forhead low teeth small; sharp, and very white. Q. Is the Young American dangerous ? A. Sometimes threatening, but seldom dan gerous. '1 hey retreat at once whon attacked by man. Ihe kind called Fortune-Hunters should, however, be excepted. They are keen-scented arid cunning, stealthy in the pursuit of prey, and cruel to their victims. Q. On what does the Young American subsist?A On "Father's Money," a substanco well known in Uppertendom. Q. Has tho Young American anything like the power of speech ? A. When irritated it gives utterance to a lbw growling Sound, but usually quiet. Q. Can this creature be made useful toman in any way ? A. Some attempts to train him for usefulness have been made, but in vain-they have always resulted in a loss of individuality, and have, therefore, been abandoned. Yet.it is valued as a pet by ladies, who aro often fond of. the creature as a companion in their walks, and they even givo it a place in their drawing rooms i merely as a plaything, however; as it is of no Use whero protection is needed. Still the Yoilng Amcrcan fills a place in Upperten dom which no other animal in tho known world would occupy. Q. Then what appears to be the object of its existence, if it cannot be rendered useful ? A. The object of its existence is yet to bo discovered, although, as we are taught that nothing is made in vain, thero is doubtless a design in the existence of tho Young American.Q. Is the Young American over confounded with the Truo American ? A. Never. The Truo American is quite a distinct srjo:ViSvap4 is.not foiyid. in.tho Uppertendom. """ Periect lesson. The class may bo seated. Whnt a Dcinocintic Editor says of Democratic Lenders. There is no picture so true, as that which eorrlmnnds the powers and descriptive agencies of the sitter. Every body in the world is probably aware how intensely vilo nnd corrupt the so-called Democratic party is,- but it takes a regular llemocratio paper to make the picture good. Tho Madison, (Wis.) Patriot, a full-blooded Locofoco newspaper, is responsible for the following allusion to the party in Hint Mate : Whv is our party to-day on its knees be fore the world ? It requires no soothsayer or sorcerer to answer that question. The party has played with edged tools as dull as old hoes at tha'. and has got cut : it has flirted with political cyrians and got jilted ; it has slept with pilfering shavers, scoundrels and knaves, and has caught the barbers itch. It has breathed the pestilential malaria fuming Irom the lairs ot old, rotten, unprincipled,scur-vey-hcaded, milk-and-water, broken-down, cast-off, leprous pukes, cancerous thieves, su-peranuated pickpockets, treasury-plundering, refusu office seeking, whisky soaked, distilled buffoons and penitentiary scaliwags, who havo preyed and gorged upon the party and the people until the substance of each is almost exhausted, and they look as lean,- lank, thin, savage, and canduverous as starved hveanas confined in tho Dismal Swamp of terror and adversity, through a thousand eternities of snow, sleet, hail, rain,- thunder,- lightning, tempests, and irretrievable famine' Such is the foetid malady that has overtak en the Democratic party in Wisconsin. It has been laid on thick and fast, with double-coating, sliming, mortared, plastered, and rubbed in, until the party resembles moro the ghost of a spring colt dead, deceased, and done for, without skin, flesh, or bones than anything having lifo, longevity, elasticity, vigor, vitality, or wide awake component parts. 05" "It is hard times," says the young man as he puffs a three cent cigar or pays fifty cents for concert tickets" It's hard titnos and I can't afford to take I piper."

Col. Nell was fn com maud of a party of men when they were at tacked by a body of natives, Several lives were lost on both sides. The writer adds : You can have no idea of the awful weather and of our sufferings from the heat ; we sit with wet clothes over OUr heads.but the deaths from sun-stroke continue large, but that dreadful scourge cholera has broke out, and we have lost already 70 fighting men. We buried 20 three nights ago, at one funeral, and tho shrieks of tho dying were something awful ; two poor ladies who were living over at the hospital died, I beliave, from fright. We have now got about 400 men outside of the fort, and tho disease is certainly on the declino. Up to to-day we have had little to eat, indeed, I would not have fed a dog with my yes-torday's breakfast, but our mess and the head quarters arrived yesterday, nnd our fare was much better to-day. All the village people ran away, and any one who hud woiked for the Europeans the murderers killed, so if tho population was to a man against us, we should stand but a poor chance. A poor baker was lound with both his nanus cut ou and his nose slit, because he had sent in bread to us. I need not say how anxiously we all look for a large army from England. Wo can hold our own well enough until it arrives, but India was never in such a mess, and it requires many a strong arm and wise head to put it in order again. Tho Bengal arrrly is to a man against us, and I am very nervous about Madras and Bombay; one singlo mischance and those two armies follow. I fully expect to go on in advance with tho first party to Cawnpore, so shall finish this oil' nastily, as we get only a fow hours' notico. I havo written to my poor wife, becsinc her to go homo as quick as she can, for I cannot bear the idea of her being in a country at such a timo, and I would give all I have to know that she was on hor way. We cannot leave this lor mo next two years at tno earnest, ana tins mutiny might spread at any moment, so 1 long to hear of her being in safety. I am thankful to say that I am in sound health and fit for a campaign, though it is ono I least expected, and almost envy Mortimer his high stool.

I had noticed on deck a fine looking bby, of about six years of age, following around at man, evidently his father, whose appearance) indicated him to ba a foreigner, probably et German, a man of medium hoijrjit und respectable appearance. Tho child wiis unusu: ally fairand fine looking, handsomely featured; with an intelligent and affectionate expression! of countenance ; and from his German cap1 fell chestnut hair in thick clustering curls. After walking about the cabin for a time; tho father and son stopped within a few feet of where wo woro seated, and began preparations for going to bed. I watched them. The? fathor adjusted and arranged the bed the child was to occupy, which was an upper berth; while the little fellow was undressing himself. Hating finished this, his father tied a handkerchief around his head to protect his curls; which looked as if the sunlight from his young happy heart always rested thero. Thisdone, I looked for him to seek his resting placo ; but instead of this, he quietly kneeled down upori tho floor, put his littlo hands together, so beau- tifully childlike; and simple, routing his arm on thf lowor berth, against whioh hu knelt,-he begHn his vesper prayer. The father sat down by his side, and waited tho conclusion. It was lir a:liild. a lomr prayer, but well understood. 1 could heat; the murmuring of his sweut voice, but could not distinguish tho words ho spoke.
