A Wonderful and fatal Storm.
Rev. Dr. Thomson, in his recent work
“The Land and the Book,” describes a
storm which occurred ii few years ago
on the 28th of Dec, in the plain of Hu-
leb, near the sources of the river Jordan
in Palestine. He says “some friends of
mine from Husbeiyu, were coming down
the hill by the village west of Mattully,
when one of them called their attention
to tall columns of mist over the marsh of
the Iluleh. They come this way very
rnpidly,” says Dii '1‘. , in speaking to u trav-
elling companion then in that region, “and
soon broke upon them with awful fury.
Those of the party who _ were from
Khyam on the east side of this plain fled
homewsrd. My friends from H———were
driven before the blast to K——-that lit-
tle hanflt just norlli of us, and with dith-
culty escaped it. 'l‘hose who attempted
to reach Khynm pcrislied on the play,
although it is not more than two miles
wide, and in full view of their houses.-
'l‘lius ten men died in a few minutes from
the mere chill of this wonderful wind.-
These cold winds draw out animal heat
with amazing rapidity. There was no
snow, no frost, and not much rain, but
the wind was perfectly awful, driving and
npheaving everything before it. Not on-
ly were these men chilled to death almost
instantly, but eighty-five head of cattle
also perished before they could be brought
to the village. The inliobitantsliave no
tradition of tr similar catastrophe. Peo-
ple oflen perish in snow-storms on the
mountains and on the vast desert of the
Huurnn, but it was nc'ver known before
that a mere wind, and that down on this
low plain, could chill people to death.
The storm scattered and dispersed in
various directions. It did nluch mischief
here on the hills of Naphluli ; and over
yonder on the Iaulnifsevernl people per-
ished by it, grid many cattle. It was felt
along the sen-board ; and I myself
caught ii violent cold riding from Beirut
to Sidon on that day. I examined into
the accuracy of these facts on the ground
and know them to be true. My Hnsbany
friend, who is is sort of travelling mer-
chant, sold the shrouds of the victims and
saw nine of them buried the next morn-
ing. I have often felt the extreme pow-
er of these winds to cool down the vital
heat of the body, but never encountered
anything like this. It reminds one of
one of David's horrible temperts.”

3- There are about 80 Indians ‘left
in Dude county, Flo. To the attempts
to get them to emigrate they replied late-
ly: -“ There is room enough for all to
live together in peace for you as well as
for us; we will live until we die in the
country that God hasgiven us, where are
the graves of our forefathers.” This is a
reply, worthy of the old Romans, and had
its cflect upon the legislature, as after
much opposition,‘ it adopted is minority
report removing all obstruction betvieeii
the intercourse of ‘the Indians‘ slid the
whites. ,
The Happy Match.
“Now,” said Henry Hemphill to his
young wife, when they went to house-
keeping, “it’s my business to bring mo-
ney into the. house, and yours to see that
none goes foolishly out of it.
This was the argument with which they
set foward in the world. He chose her,
in the first placebecausc he loved her,
mid in the second place because he knew
she was sensible, economical and industri-
ous just the reason that should influence
every sensible man in his choice now.——
And he also thought it best that each
_sliould have distinct spheres of faction.-
Their interest were one and invisible, con-
sequently each had the same motives to
act well the ‘allotted part. His business
called for his attention-—he wished, there-
fore, to pursue it undisturbed by other
_cnres.
For himself, he_ looked for happiness at
his . wants and he was not disposed to
spend unythii g abroad in pursuit of what
he thought every reasonable man ought
to enjoy in the bosom of his own family.
Her duties being all domestic she was able
to compress them the better by turning
her attention to them.
Her husband's business doing habits
his temperate, correct life, had all the
power .of example, increasing her esteem
and doubling her anxiety to increase his.
They had married without waiting to
get rich. They never mistrusted. Pi-ovi-'
deuce nor each other. With little besides
health and disposition to improve it, they
had nevertheless a strong confidence of

in those who feel that they have resolu-

Hurry Hemphill’s had. There he sought
repose after the toils and wenriness of the
day, and he retired_ thither, and amid the
influences of its quiet and peaceful shades
he forgot the henrtlessncss of the world
and all the wrongs, of men. VVheu things
went ill with him, he found solace in the
sunshine of affection that in the domestic
circle beamed upon him, and chased every
cloud from his brow.
However others treated him, there was
all kindness confidence and esteem. If
others deceived him and hypocrisy with
its shameless face smiled on him to delude
and injure hiiu there was all sincerity of
the heart, which makes amends for suf-
fering and wins the troubled spirit from
inisanthropy.
Nothing tends to make agood house-
keeper, a good economist, as that kind-
ness on the partof the husband which
speaks the language of approbation and
that careful, and well directed industry
which Ihrives and gives strong promise
that her care and prudence will have
a profitable issue, and Mary Hemphill
find this assurance.
Harry devoted himself to his business
with steady purpose and untiring zeal.-
He obtained credit by his plain and holi-
est dealings ; custom by his faithful punc-
tuality and constant core ; friends by his
obligiug department and accommoda-
ting disposition. He gained the rep-
utation of being the best workman in the
village. None were deceived who trust-
ed his word. He always drove his work
it little beforehand, for he said-—“ things
go badly when the cart gets before the
horse.”
I noticed on5e a little incident which
illustrated his character. A thrifty old
former was accosted in the road at the
end of the village, by a youngster who
was making a dash in business, and
wanted to borrow a few hundred dollars.
The wily old man was perfectly igno-
rant where it could be had, and sidled off
from him as soon as he could.
He rode directly down to Hemphill's
and told him he had a sum of money to
loan, if he would take it ; the payments
should be made easy—-just as they would
suit him. Indeed, replied Hurry, you
have come to a bad market. I have a
little cash to spare myself, and have been
looking around these two weeks for a
good opportunity of putting it out.
While Harry was prospering in busi-
ness, all, went like a clock at homc.—-
The family expenditures were carefully
inade—uot a fni-thing was wasted, not
ii scrap was lost. The furniture was all
neat and useful, ruthi-r than ornamental.
The table plain, but wholesome and well
spread. .
Little went to the seamstress or tailor.
No extravagance in dress, no costly com-
pany keeping, no useless waste of time in
too much visiting; and yet the whole
neighborhood praised Mary Hcmphill,
and loved her. She was kind without
being troublesome. And while few peo-
ple lived more comfortably, none were
more economical.
The result of such management can
never disappoint the reasonable expecta-
tions of those who build upon them. E ven
the angry frown of misfortune is put at
defiance. Vantage ground is ‘gained
which the storm seldom reaches _; and a
reward comes in its proper time, to crown.
The music of Harry’s tools were in full
play the morning that I left the village
for a-distant residence. It was not yet
sunrise, and as the coach bore us by the
residence of the villager, I saw the door
was open a_nd the breakthst smoking upon
the table. Mary, in her morning dress
and white apron, blooming in health and
loveliness, was busy amid her household
nffnirs, and a stranger who happened to
be my fellow-passenger to the city, observ-
ing it said.”
f‘There’s a thriving family, my word
for it.” And he spoke well. There are
certain things working right-, that cannot
be mistaken by the most casual observer.
On my return to Alesbury many years
afterwards, I noticed a beautiful country
residence on the banks of the river, sur-
rounded by all the elegance of wealth
and taste. Richly cultivated fields spread
themselves out on every ids as for as the
eye could reach ;llock-land herds" were scat-
tered in every direction. It was a splendid
‘scene-the son was just etting beyond the
western hills, and while a group of neatly
dressed childred sported on the adjacent
school-house green, the mellow notes of
the flute mingled with their noisy mirth.

From the Valley Gleaner, Lee, Mans.
Rev. Charles 8. Ball. . A
The sudden death of such ii man as Mr,
Ball, in the full strength of manhood
deserves more than tliepassing notice we
gave last week. .
In his boyhood he was remarkable for
his purity, truthfulness, guileless simplici-
ty, and moral courage. . However for
others might go in wrong-doing he was
not drawn after them. How‘ easily can
we imagine him uttering with the utmost
simplicity the words of the boy \Vashing-
ton, “ I cannot tell a lie.’’ These traits,
so conspicuous in childhood, gathered
strength with increased years. His re
ligious principles early received and estab-
lished, enabled him to meet and resist
the temptations of college life In the
discharge of his duties as teacher, he was
earnest and faithful ; but hislmind was
in a state of unrest until he had devoted
himself to the gospel ministry. The final
choice of this noble work seemed to give
new energy to his life. Feeling that the
work tlemnnclcd his best powers, hc en-
tered upon the preparation with all his
heart and soul. He studied long and
faithfully, and apprehended with great
clcarncss the sublime truths of the Gos-
pel. Hc looked upon a great truth upon
all sides, until he saw it in its full -0l'l)C(l
symmetry and beauty. His mind had a
wide grasp. His imagination was vivid
and his images were always of the grand-
est order. In his pulpit ministrutions he
commanded the closest attention. His
reading of the scriptures was uncommon-
ly impressive, for he infused his own soul
into the divine words. We shall never for-
get his thrilling r-cndering of the last chap-
ter of Eccl, coutaiifing “ vanity of vani-
ties, all is vanity,” followed by a sermon
upon the text “ Lovers of pleasures more
than lovers of God.” When fully alive
to his theme, his soul glowed like a live
coal and his burning words went direct
to the heart of his audience. We can
fondly, but vainly imagine with what pow-
er he would have spoken with ten added
years of experience and culture, when his
mind had attained to a closer and severcr
analysis, and his natural impetuosity been
diminished, only to give a deeper and
broader current to h_is eloquence, and a
nameless repose, that sure index of power
in reserve. If at \Viltou there was any
want of unanimity in so suddenly calling
an entire stranger, it l»al entirely vanish
ed ere the close of his first short year.-
His manly yet gentle bearing, his gulls-
less spirit, his open soul, with his.earnest,
faithful preaching, and the blessed influ-
ence of n. revival season, caused every
doubt to melt away and all hearts to flow
to himself. Men who had before been
rarely seen in the house of God, now at-
tended church regularly, and wherever he
preached many followed to hear. -
As n. son, hewas all any parent could
desire. He was ever obedient, asked
advice in tnking any important step, tend-
ed by day and watched by night, through
months of suffering, his aged father, and
rendered those thousand nameless acts of
kindness which are the impulse of a loving
lleurt. ' °
As a brother, he was tiionghtfiil ten-
der and unselfish ;—ns a husband he was‘
kind, faithful loving. companiounble.
As a friend, he won entire confidence
at once, and that confidence he never be-
trayed He opened his mind & heart, with:
out reserve and in his genial company,
the flying hours passed unheeded by.——
The heart seemed even larger than the
brain.
As a man he was noble. Meanness,
covetousness, narrowncss of soul, were
utterly foreign to his nature. He was
generous-hearted, without seemingly a
particle of envy in his breast. S si-
tively olive ‘ to his own failings, he (1
that “charity. which suli'ei'eth long and
is kind.”
As a christian none‘ can doubt but he
“ walked with God.” Not long‘ before
his death he remarked to a friend that
the “ christian system appeared more ci-
vid, and that Christ seemed to be walk-
ing along with him. He was a man of
prayer, and probably no one over heard
llllll play without feeling that he spoke
to his Father as it were “ fnce to face.”
One great element of his power was the
fact that all had the fullest confidence in
his goodness. His life was a commenta-
ry upon his words. ‘ -
He received the announcement that his
end was near, calmly, afllrming that his
“ trust was in the Rock of Ages.” The
truths which he had so faithfully preach-
ed to others, sustained him in the hour
of trial. He passed down to the borders
of the river with an unfaltering steps, and
though the tear filled his eye as he re-
membered his aged parents ind only sis-
ter, and thought of leaving his wife and
little fulirless child alone in the world,
yet he was willing to pass over. “ He
walked thoughtfully along the banks of
Jordan ; he stepped his feet in the wa-
ters carefully and silently; be reserved his
triumphs iiutil he had pressed the solid
ground of the other shore.”
His name will long live in grateful re-
membrance ‘umong the people of his
charge, and will not be forgotten along
this valley, and up the slopes of these bills
while the everlasting mountains around
shall watch and guard the place qf his
rest. F.

Our Congressional District.
We copy the following comprehensive and
able statement of the positions of the two
candidates, and the issues involved in the
canvass, l'rom the Hartford Press of the 17th
inst:
The first, second and fourth districts
may be considered somewhat doubtful in
the coming election, yet we have all faith
that earnest work and a full vote will
bring in glorious victory in each. But
the last named district, for various recs
ons, offers, perhaps, the most exciting
spectacle.
On one side is William D. Bishop, the
present member, for his re-nomination is
taken for granted. He is a young man
of very considerable wealth -and more
ambition, of pleasing address, and ready
in speaking, but altogether more rhetori-
cal. wordy and superficial than soiiud,
well-informed and logical. He’ was
“ brought up” a Whig, but in the dark
days of that party, when the keen-scent
ed soldiers of fortune were deserting its
battered ranks, this man went over to
the support of that promising individual,
F rnnklin Pierce. We recollect hearing
him in American Hall, in the campaign
of '52, give, among the reasons for his
new faith, the unfnithfulness of the Whigs
to their doctrines of protection. ‘

aid of Winslow, with the‘ organized anis-
tance of federal office holders in every

dom, the honorable character of the dis-
trict. - '

When Bishop, successful by 16 major-
ity, owiug to the heavy storm on election
day and the still greater misfortune of
excessive confidence among the friends of
Ferry, went to Wnsliluglon, he made the
common mistake of apostntcs and out-He-
rolled Herod in his devotion to negro-drb
ving chivalry and man-stealing democra-
cy. I-Ie sneered at the North ; he used
a. suliicieiicy of hard words for all who
would save the territories, the common
heritage of all working men, from the
desolntions of slave labor, at the same
time he cringiiigly begged “ our friends
at the South” not to sny that “ slavery
is a moral and religious institution." If
these gentlemen really believe that the
“hard working men” of the North are
not as good or as well off as the Southern
ncgroes,’-' said this Mr. Bishop-savage
upon his mother Connecticut, but so cour-
teous and full of entrcaty to the agent of
the slave power, who chuckled and pat-
ted the young Yankee upon the back but
despised him in their lic.u'ts‘-—“ if they-
really believe it,-" said Mr. Bishop, “ it
woulcl'be' much more satisfactory and
much more gratifying to them,” (the
aforesaid working men) if they would on-
ly think so and not incorporate it into
their speeches.” Whcreat the report says
there was [Lziugliteiz] Very likely ;
but the stenogropher does not tell us who
laughed or precisely at what they were
amused. The simplicity of the man who
would create a smile under the ribs of
death ; but his degradation would have
made the half of any ordinary congrega-
tion blush ; however they are accustom-
ed to such things in Congress, they have
seen Bishops, 'l‘ouce_vs, Arnolds, Ather-
tons, Cushings, el id omne gems for many
a year. o
But the innocent man says that as sure
as one of those speeches is made, Repub-
hcnn members subscribe for it by the
thousand, “ scattering them broadcast
through the North ;” and they read ex-
tracts from it out “ sneeringly” tell the
people : “ These, these are the sentiments
of the South which place you lower in
the scale ofhumauity than the African
negro, and sncli are the men whom the
Democratic party are calling on you to
sustain !” -Right, Oh \Villicm ; they do
precisely that and they tell the truth, do
they not? If they do not, these good
people, these “honest, faithful, hard-
‘working men,” as you kindly condescend
to call them, are most egregriously dc-
ceived, for as yoi yonrselfsiy : “They are
put forth as the sentiments of the South,
and I can assure gentlemen that they do
do more to send Republican members to
this House than any other cause that
could possibly be invented.”
Not. quite so near right that time ; the
circulation of Mr. Bishop’s own speech
in his own district will do just about as
well.
The ambitious young man, taking the
smiles of his southern " friends” and the
applause of a gallery of clnquers, recruit-
ed from the regiments of federal hangers-
on, to be genuine approval of his senti-
ments, bent his siuartness to the topmost
notch by lifting up as trutli one of the ex-
ploded nntl rotten slniiders of an old-time
traitor to his mother stale : “ We used
to have,” said Mr. Bishop, “a law which
forbid a man kissing his wife on Sunday.
How would such a criminal law be en‘
forced in Georgia?” And again there
was [Laughter] in the report, at least.
Bishop’s object in raising a l-nigh
uinst Connecticut at the expense of
gun, was to show that if the census
shows more violations oflaw at the North
it is because the low is more strict and
s eeific. And so he adds: “ I trust I
have said enough to convince our South-
eru friends that we are u very decent
people in our way, after all, and _that
slavery would not improve our condition.”
Right, in the last clause, with 9. little ex-
ception : similia similibus cura7ztur—likc
cures like-—-the homccopathists tell us, and
it little judicious training on a rice plan-
tation would surely awaken in Bishop a
sense of maoliness which the influence of
Connccticnt schools and clllli'cllL‘S has
failed to arouse. At least he might
catch a little of it from his masters.-
Tlic Southern member that. should (hire
to curry favor abroad by slicers at his
own state, would not simply fall of u. re-
election, or of It re-nomin-.itiou—-he would
he stepped on and wiped out! _
Bishop winds up his affectionate up
peals to the slavery-propogandists with
the enti'eat_\: that they will not continue
to ruin their cause by attempted purul-
lells between the benefits of slave and
free labor: “Do not, then, gentlemen, I
implore you, weaken us—aud by weaken-
ing us injure yonrselves—through such
unnecessary and useless comparisons l”—
'l‘he frank admission that the cause of
northern sham democracy-ls the cause of
slavery extension and the object humilia-
tion of the speaker are evident without
comment. ; ~- -
It should be said in mitigation of Bish-
op’s offences and in explanation of the
contemptuous quiet with which he is_re-
garded, that being ‘a Jerseymnn by birth
and a man of wealth in railroads, much
is not required of’ him in the way of res-

The Indiana Case.
One of the most bare-faced and outra-
geous frauds ever consumnoted in this
country was completed on Monday week
by the vote of the Senate afirming the
right of Messrs. Bright and Fitch, squat-
ters in that bodv, to seats as Senators
from Indiana. By that decision prece-
dents are cstablished, which, if followed,
would soon make seats in the Senate the
spoil of the most audacious, the most cun-
ning and the most successful rascals, and
destroy what little respect may yet re-
main fora body in which Bright, Fitch.
Dodge, Gwin, Lane, and " Delusion”
Smith have obtained seats.
The shameless perpetrators of this
crime-for it is a crime against the fun-
tlumeutal principles of our government,
as well as against honor and good faith,
is evinced by the manner in which their
job was executed. When the case first
came before the Senate the Border Ruf-
fian majority insisted on giving Fitch and
Bright their seats on the ground that
they had prinltt facie claim thereto, no
contestants appearing. This was in the
face of in protest from the clear majority
of the Legislature, setting forth the fact
that no election had been held, and that
therefore, while there could of course be
no contestunts.for the seats, Bright and
Fitch were mere interlopers.
Now this some pro’-slavery democracy,
having used their tools—these squatters
in that bod y—on many important votes,
and held in lerrcrem over them the pros-
pect of being ousted if they were not ser-
vile enough in every unjust word and
work, when two regularly elected Sena-
tors apply for seats, with credentials in
due form certifying an election by the
whole legislature, refuse to take notice of
their claims, on the ground that the seats
are already filled l There was ‘no serious
discussion on the parts of the sloveocrats,
no attempt was made to justify the
wrong and outrage originally committed,
but they simply took shelter behind the
nefarious decision of the last session, and
refused to listen to the claims of the con-
testants. . A
Well did Mr. Seward say that the
question was not closed by the vote of
Monday, and would never be closed until
that vote was expunged from the records
of the Senate! Such a precedent can-
not be allowed to stand upon the rec-
o . If Mr. Seward is obliged to call
up the question again every year while
his lile lasts, as he declared he would, on
it motion to expunge that vote, and if he
dies without seeing it done, nevertheless
this great wrong must be finally righted.
