Rachel; still are thy treasures those that corruption and the moth shall destroy. - Thou knowest not the "better part;" thy life has been false, not real mockery, not truth. What an end for a gifted soul ! Weeping over the fabric of the silk worm mourning that 6he must part with a few bits of shining 'crystals crown of colored stones? A ' ; The world has followed thee to the grave, and left a mound in place of the green grass, or shut the door3 of a tomb upon thy codiul Pale Rachel Morely patient, angelic -Rachel Morely 1 She was little known to the great world.'save when a beautiful thought went forth from her pen, and tears and smiles attested to her genius. But, better than that better than the flittering, moth-like existence in the midst of the blazing light and wild applause her 'iife was hid with Christ i n God." She, too, had a face of wonderful power. The brow wa wide and pale, the eyes large, deep and searching.' She was a minister's child a poor preacher's only daughter, and an untiring student. Her father's library was also her sanctum. There, at his feet, she studied. His old yellow Latin and Greek folios were conquered by her with comparatively little effort. Her mind was a store, house of knowledge; she was gifted with an eloquent tongue, wrote in a clear and forcible style and in her soft, large eyes, as they were some1- times upturned in the moment of inspiration, could be seen something of heaven. Her part was acted also Miot with regal robes and kindling jewels not in the spirit of a dead horoism not perpetuating the licentious freaks of a miserable profligate! Ol none of these did Rachel the preacher's daughter, represent, as she moved along her path of duty. Her stage was the poor man's home, where sickness and want and equator abounded; her jewels, the little children that loved her so that the lightest touch of her finger, or the merest chance that turned her dark, deep- eye towards them, were treasured up more lovingly than the French Rachel treasured her pearls. Disease, too, early in the light of dim calcnla tion, dimmed her eye and paled her cheek. The same sickness that wasted the form of the French Rachel consumed her life; and for many months she lingered, growing more and more etherial, till she looked at last like a luminous shadow, ready at any moment to throw the fragile covering of mortality aside. She, too, beguiled the tedious hours, but not with agonizing glances at rich and glistening robes, or rubies, emeralds and diamonds.: One robe alone absorbed her attention the robe of righteousness. She contemplated its exquisite purity, its white luster, unequaled even by the light of heaven, and sb did not weep at the thought of parting with this beautiful dress, for it was the gift of Christ. She was to wear it at the marriage supper of the Lamb. ; ; Her jewels were sometimes brought to her bedside the children of the village and as she compared them with the crown in the hand of her Redeemer, she whispered: "I can leave these for the treasure he has promised." The little ones whom she had taught and clothed, and who were never to forget her, wondered as they saw the shinning eye light up with unearth- ty radiance, and thought of the : angels about whom she had often told them. O, it was delightful to sit near her, to hold her wasted hand, and hear her talk of heaven. Her trust was so perfect! her; faith so full f and her countenance seemed at times transfigured and to wear the splendor of heaven. No regrets not one. Not a sigh for the pleasures of earth, for her delightful studies. She was entranced at the visions revealed from the better land, Beautiful was the day on which she died. A soft breeze wandered through her chamber lad en with the fragrance cf roses; Not a cloud flecked the ek as her pure spirit ascended. The presence of angels was felt around that dying bed, and we smiled even as we wept: ' She looked so calm ! so radiant 1 ao holy I : It wa, the sculptured sleep of death s without a single terror or one marring feature. A long process Jon followed her not the noble, not the rich; but those whom Christ loved the poor, the suffering, the sorrowing. -" A", Aj-, While bo earthly tablet Is reared over Rachel Morely ' grave, and Only a little bush that bears fragrant white flowers every summer, sheds beauty upon the mound, it is sweet to think, that the good she has done will never perish here, and that her name i written" iri the LamVa" book off LSfel" " - . Christ not a 7riter. . tfne of the most" remarkable' facts in tie his tory of Christ, is, that he left no writings behind him, and the dnfy tfefcofd there is of hU writing etfythlng is in the case where "he stopped down and ith his ' finger wrote opoa the eand.w What he wrote then and .there, no one knows though, perhaps,, the most plausible conjecture is, that he wrote the answer to the question, whether the woman taken in the act of adultery should be stoned?.. MHe that i without sin among you, let him cast a stone at her.H Reader, did this strange fact ever occur to yoar mind; that the greatest reformer thai ever Tired professedly the divine teacher tent from God, to reveal his truth unto the world whose teaching have iurvive'd the wreck of ages, and bow command the credence, the respect and the most profound admiration of the enlightened world; and who is claimed as the 'author and finisher of a great system of faith and practice; has left behind him no aentence of his writing, and those unknown characters written with his finger in the sand 1 constitute the sum total of all his-writings, of which there is any account. Is there or has there ever been, since the in vention of letters, or even : rude hieroglyphics,, any such thing as a system of religions whose founder did uot take special . pains to reduce his teachings to writing, and thus give them the most exact and permanent form? The Brahmins hare their Vedas, their Pon- rances, their Romavan, and their laws and In. stitution of Menu, and these are all written and preserved with the utmost care. The Chinese have their books of Lohi, the founder, as opened and expounded by their great Confucius . The Persians have their Zandevesta, attributed to their leader, Zoroaster, containing the laws and doctrines of their religion. The Jews had their sacred books, and Closes and the Prophets, and David, and Solomon, put ""their teachings in wri ting, that they might be preserved. : Plato and Pythagoras, and Cicero, and De-mosthenese, wrote much. Mahomet wrote the Koran and gave it to the faithful as their guide. The writings of Swedenborg are voluminous; and in our day, even the Mormon impostor wrote his book of Mormons. . But here comes one who claims precedents even of Moses and Abraham, and especially, claims that a greater than Solomon is in his own person, and announcing himself as a herald of a new dispensation from God, which is to cast Moses and the Prophets in the shade, and prevail over all ottet systems; and subdue our entire rice, and yet this great teacher wrote never a word, save only the characters in the sand; which the next breath might obliterate. Who can account for this strange procedure? Will it comport at all with the idea that he was an lmposterf Did ever an imposter pursue a course like this? Never. And it seems to us that in the single fact to which we have alluded, there is the impress of truth, and proof that his mission is all divine! . He stands out before us as one who knows that hie , mission is of God, and that it caa stand upoa its own merits. So confident is he of its power, that he is content to breath it out upon God's air, and leave it to live by its own inherent and self-perpetuating immortality, or lire not at atij And so he goes about doing good new teaching in the synagogue and temple, now talking to his disciples as he sits on Olivet, or by the seatf Galilee, and now dropping a word as he w&lks by the way. And there ia not manifested the slightest'.apprehen sion that what he says will be lost. He writes it not On stone or parchment Nay, he writes it not all. He seeks only to give it a lodgment in the hearts of the few disciples that followed him to make them comprehend it, and feel its pow er, and love it; and is willing to leave it to pro. dues its fruit, and to be. written by the hand of affection, if it should be written at all. And on these hearts he did impress himself, and they, for the love they bore him, wrote the meager sketch we have of his life and teaching. Williamson.Cjie Dumorist. THE MtniLATED TOOTH-PICS.

Clings in (Smcral Zlorals in Iowa. - - . - e Iowa has nothing to boast of in the way of moral. She will compare favorably with Arkansas or Texas in their palmiest days. Witness the following: - Iowa City was the scene of a mob and horrid murder on the llth. A personal animosity existed between two men, named Wilkinson and Phillips. On Monday night Phillip's barn was burned, and his partizans suspected Wilkinson of setting it on fire. On this caked suspicion they went to the house of Wilkinson, tore him from; his wife and children, bound his hands behind his back, and cast him headlong into the Iowa River and drowned him. Over thirty re!ii-dents of Iowa City were concerned in this horrible act. " - And also the following: Shocking Affair is Iowa. The Muscatine (towa) Journal, of the 19th. gives an account of a terrible affair ,in that city the night before. The wholesale grocery of Mr. J.

The Honnon Campaign. The Washington Stoics, alluding to the inclination of some of our public men to have the campaign againsft Mormondom closed and the troops withheld from marching upon Salt Lake, expresses our opinions exactly, when it predicts that, should the authorities disband and break up their, present arrangements &nd that, too, befcre another year expires they will have to make similar arrangements de novo. Nor do "we hesitate to give it as our opinion, that alt tampering with that infamous nest of traitors will lead, in the end, to the expenditure of more treasure and the fitting out of more expeditions, and at still greater expenses than those incurred at present. Thej are aliens and traitors to this Government and people. They have plundered and assassinated our peaceable and unarmed . emigrants I They hate defied, de nounced and threatened all -the institutions of the countryt Thair grand idea, (to illustrate which they hive composed and printed a whole book) is, that it is their grand mission to restore the Indians to all their original lands; and soon er or later they will have to be broken up at least to be dispersed and driven beyond the borders of our country. . Why not do it now, that all the preparations have been wisely and energetically made? This is the appointed time, and we trust the Government will not falter or be bamboozled. . Tt Largest Mill in the World. Richmond can boast of having within its lim its the largest Soaring mill' in the world. The erection of the mill was regularly commenced some time in the year 1854. The superstructure rests upon a solid foundation of granite, the base of which is seventeen and a half feet thick. The width tapers to a thickness of six feet at the top course of granite. The average thickness of the brick walla, forming the first storieabove Canal street, is three feet ten inches. . The great mill is twelve stories in height, fronts ninety six feet on Canal street, and is one hundred and six ty-five feet deep. The height of the front wall is 121 feet, to the top course of bricks. , Inclu ding the observatory the total height is 133 feet. The rear wall, embracing a part of the granite foundation, is 147. feet. Each floor contains about 14,560 superficial feet ; including the two floors in the roof, the total would be about 150, 000 square feet -or rather more than three an i d half acres.. ' Altogether, the available space within the walls of this building, is about 200,000 square feet. We have no positive information as to the cost of this immense structure, but presume that the sum will not fall short of $130,000 Several months will yet elapse before the machin ery will be'ready to bo put in operation. Rich mond Va.) Whig. . v . ; Lawless Proceedings in Kansas. An extra from the ofiice of. the Lawrence Re. puoucan states. that on the 19th instant a party of . men from Missouri came into a trading port on the road from Fort Scott to . Leavenworth, took twelve men jjriaoners, carried them into a aeep ravine, where they formed into line; fired, killing five and wounding sii otters, and then fled; The Extra also slates that intense excrement existed at Leavenworth,' and that a force was bein organised for pursuit. The Weslport correspondent of the St. Louts Republican gives a totally different version of the affair. He says that those driven out from Lynri county by Montgomery's band, after placing their families in a place of safety returned to the Territory to' look after their property, and captured the men in a mistake, taking them for a part of Montgomery's band, but released them. Subsequently they heard a gun fired on the side of a hill and returned the fire, when it was ascertained that the gun was fired by the released party, who were norf armed.'

"When the author -of this abridgement (says4 CoL Benton) was ten years old, which wasin the last decade (borrowing Livy'a division of time lathe expression) of the last century, and before' enlightened writers had thrown darkness on the authorship of Junius, it was well conceded that there was but one man in England, or the worli who united in himself all the Qualities of bead" heart aad temper, all the incidents of political and personal life, which the writing of those letters required ; but one man who had such power to drive the English language, .such knowledge of men and things, such amplitude of information, such lofty and daring spirit, such induce ment to publish his thoughts and conceal hii name, an oratorical fame already so great as to' set him above the assumption otlhat of Junius; great as it was. That One man was Lord Cath-am, then old and out of favor withnhe King and dominant parties ; relegated (by his peerage) to that "Hospital of lucurables," the House of Lords, whence no patriotic voice could reach the Commons of England ; retired to his Country seat Hayes, and all visitors shut out ; discontented, despairing, restless, and seeing no way to reach the people but through the press, and by the means of appeals ; bold to audacity, patriotic to temerity, and the more Impressive because shrouded in the mystery of an unknown origin. So stood Lord Catham and Junius in the latter part of the century in which they lived, convertible characters, identical in person." : A -The Choice of a Wife.
