Legation or the U. S. at I al
Constantinople, June 27, J b
Monsieur F Inter nonce : I have tho lion- a
or to address your Excellency on the sub- ol
jeet of h most unfortunate occurrence, a'
which I am informed by the Consul of a
my Government in Smyrna, took place w
tiicro o? the 23-1 inst., aud which 1 very J"
deeply deplore, inasmuch as it resulted in ?*
tlio death of a young officer of the Aus- J"1'
trian navy, who has thus, most probably "I
without in any manner having been the c>
cause of the unwarranted attack made ^
upon himself and his companions in Smvrna,
been the victim of tho most inconside- 'c
rate and unaccountable conduct of tbe C(
Austrian Consul cf the city towards an
individual natncd Martin Costa. tl
This person, at the present moment in- r'
careerated on board the Austrian brig of
war Hussar, now at Smyrna, is, I believe, *
one of the Hungarian refugees who had ri
been detained at Kiutayab. Together
with others, he was permitted to leave n
this country in 1851, and ho proceeded I1
with them to the United States, where ho I'
took the ptfelioQrtMxry steps towards be- 1
coming a citizen of the United States; 1
that is*, Vie made a forma' renunciation of c
all alleghince to auy otlier Power or Sov- * '
crcign whatever, and took the usual oath "
of allegiance to the Government of the
United States. A few months since, M.
Costa came to Smyrna from New York, 1
with the design of again proceeding to i
the United States. In the afternoon of ''
the 21st fnst., while seated on the marina <
of Smyrna, he was suddenly set upon bv ^
Bome fifteen ruffian Greeks, all armed, '
said to have been employed for that pur- I
nose by the Austrinn Consul ; and, atler v
having been treated in the most brutal ?
manner, was thrown into the sea, where '
a boat was waiting to receive and conduct t
hini to the Austrian brig Hussar. s
M. Costa, on leaving the United States, t
received a legalized copy of tbc declaration
which he had made there of allcgi- r
iroce to the Government of the United t
States, and which document, under ordinary
circumstances, would recommend
iiim to the friendly aid and consideration
of the American authorities.
It cannot be conceived hero that this
individual's temporary residence in the .
V /"if Smrmn paiiIiI nncoilJ?* ?
? v v. ???.. vuuiu I'VOOIUIjr CAUIIU lilt
animosity of the Austrian Consul to such I
a degree as to cause him to employ a band
of armed ruffians to attack him, at a moment
when he evidently had no reason to
apprehend such an outrage, and to have
liiin conveyed in an ignomiuous manner
on board an Austrian vessel-of-war.
It seems to me rather, that in case his
presence there incommoded the Austrian
Consul, the latter, at the most, would have
called upon the Tuikish authorities to requiro
his departure, and not, by an act of
so outrageous and inhuman a nature, ex- w
cito the indignation of the inhabitants of q
Smyrna, and, I do not doubt it, also of
the people of the United States. M,
Permit me therefore to intercede w ith .
your Excellency in behalf of M. Costa, in
nud to ask, if not out of the respect due 111
for tho Government of the Sultan, whose 8'
territory has been so grossly viola'ed by n
the conduct of the Austrian Consul of d
Smyrna, at least out of regard for the hi
Government to which he has pledged his i,
allegiance, that your Excellency he pleased r
to give orders to the conm under of the
Ilussar for his immediate release, so that f
he may proceed to the United States. j
I avail myself of the present opportuni- '
ty of renewing to yotir Excellency, the as- 1
suranccs of my highest respect, and most ^
distinguished consideration.

Monsieur Is. Charge <T Affaires: By C
your favor of this day's date, you have ei
demanded the liberation of a certain Mar- qi
tin Costa, arrested by orders of the Con- 8j
s il General of Austria, at Smyrna, on the 8<J
2 2d insf. ... se
I can only attribute, Sir, this interven- ^
tion on your part to a mistake, as the in
dividual in question is a native of Hungary,
and has never ceased to be an A us- _
trian subject, as results from his declara- in
tion made in presence of the Consul of the
United States at Smyrna. llis arrest
consequently took place in virtue of the in
treaties which i.ssuro to niv Government.
the full and entire independence of its ju- UII
risdiction over all its subjects in Turkey. 8U
You will easily understand then, M. lo
Charge d'Affaires, the absolute impossi- tQ
bility of complying with your request.
I beg you to receive the assurance of
my high consideration. !

CONSTANTINOPLE, J Uno 29,'A3. j tl
Monsieur TJ In tor nonce : I have just F
received the letter which you were so good ci
as to write me, under date of the 27th of ai
this month, on the aubieet of the iiidivid- I ..
ual named Martin Costa, arreted at Smyr- u
nn on the 21st inst by the Austrian (Jon ul*
. "
I am readily convinced, Sir, that the .
moans adopted by the Austrian Consul (o ''
the effect the arrest of said individual,
could not merit your approbation ; and,
also, I do?ot feel myself at all called upon '
to express an opinion u|?on the right which b
you mention as possessed by your Gov- o
ernment over all its own subjects in Tur- e
key. p
I cannot, however, deny myself tl a
honor of onca more addressing your Excellency
for tho purpose of renew ing the ^
offloial intercession which I have already ,
felt it my duty to make in behalf of this "
Crson \ and so as to enable your excel- rt<
icy to better appreciate the basis of my P]
request, I have the honor to hand you (in- C
closed) tiie declaration which M. Costa 8
made at New York on the 31st of Julv. N
1852, "renouncing his allegiance to the m
Emperor of Austria," and taking an oath n
of allegiance to the Government of the ^
United States of America. 0
The right of expatriation and of naturalization
is recognized, I believe, by the '
Government of Aatrin, as well aa by otbor
Gorevtuneata; and it aeema to ae that
tfce arreafc (without again mentioning the 0
uteanawfaJoh the Austnaa Consul of Smyr- ?
9# need to affect it) of the said Coats, upon b
the neutral soQ of Turkuy, after the art of 1
Ilegiance made by him, will be regarded fi
v tlie Government of tbe United States a
% being not only a very painful violation u
f those same rights of naturalization, but c
Iso, in consequence of my intercession, as t
want of respect and regard toward to- t
ards tny Government, of which the ira- ^
ression will be removed with difficulty,
would not leave your Excellency ignont
of tlio preceding facts; but rather,
f communicating them to your Excellenrelieve
myself of all the responsibility
hieh the arrest of Costa, and the consenenccs
which may grow out of it, mav
ave in the mind of my Government and
mntrymcn.
It wts on presenting this declaration to
le consulate of the United States of Aineca
at Smyrna, and to this Legation, that
ae said Costa was furnished w ith a tczereh
to come to Constantinople, and to
eturn to Smyrna, whenco he was to start
;r New York. Since his arrival atSmvra
he has resided in Turkey under the
rotection of my Government, and it is a
tleasure to me to he able to state that his
ondnet has always been irreproachable,
lis fidelity to his native land?the only
rime of which he is accused? leads him
o declare himself always an Hungarian,
nd to state that he wishes even to meet
lis death as such.
Your Excellency will pardon me if I
bus renew my intercession in his favor.?

Mr. Editor :?When will it be my lot to
rite a letter without having to recount some
lgrant crime < r misdemeanor on the part of
ly (alas must I call them so,) fellow citizens,
frailty, thy name is worn in!" says the poet:
1 view of the outrageous proceedings of our
letropolitan loafers and rowdies, we would
ightly alter the quotation by substituting
ion for woman. Sunday is the great hoyay
of the lawless ruffians. Availing themelvcs
of the various excursion bouts, which,
i violation of pence, order and tho decalogue,
re run in all directions outlus sabbath, they
vcrspread the adjacent country, to the tcr" '
or of all honest folk, devastate fields, break r
own fruit trees, and even use violence to
tie owners, in ease resistance is offered.? ^
lonietiincs, when they can find no other vie- ^
ms, they turn upon each other ; if they j.
ould only follow the cxnmplo "f the Kil- j.
enny eats, the world would not miss them
c
lueh. A case of litis kind happened last
unday. The little excursion boat, Tope ^
atlin, when on her return from up the riv- .
, was the scene of a disgraceful riot. Some
iarrel arose around the bar, which soon ^
tread to the rest of the company ; there was J
ion a general melee, in the course of which
veral persons were thrown overboard and
nbbed. One of the rioters was quite seri- .
isly Wounded with an ice pick. No deaths
ive yet occurred, so tar as is known ; an fv
vestigation, soon to be held by the author- ft
es, will throw more light on the matter. ^
A few weeks since a boat was picked up e|
the East River, containing several articles nl
' clothing covered with blood, from which,
id other suspicious ciacumstances, it was Cl
pposed there had been foul play. This sl
as a bone for our enterprising policemen c|
pick, and they have continued indefatiga- p
y at it nntil they have brought it fuirly to ^
rlit. It seems that the boat was stolen from
io New York side by some dock thieves, ?
ho went over to Williamsburg, robbed a g
sssel there of n trunk and some other arti- q
es end were in the net of making off when 8
ley were discovered by the Captain. He v
rdered thetn to stop, but disregarding him
icy leaped into the boat and rowed off.? i.
ortunntcly a revolver was at hand, and sev- T
rnl shots were fired at them by the captain a
b a parting salute. Two of the villains |
rere seriously wounded, the third escaped i
nhurt. The Captain, supposing that he (
tight have killed one of them, to avoid i
rouble, weighed anchor withont acquaint* r
tg the authorities of the occurrence. The
oat was turned loose as noon as the thieves g
aund themselves at a safe distance and g
ence the mystery. They have all since t
een arrested. There has been a great deal <
f dock thieving lately. This has led to the j
stsblishmcot of a River Police, which is just \
one into operation, and promises to put a *
top to these proceedings. c
Wc have had for somo time nmong us a
estilute company of Chinese, consisting of
t>out 43 performers. They allowed them,
lives, lust Spring, to be pursuadcd by the
roroUe of good wages, to make a tour from
alifornia to the principal cities in the United
tales. Their first attempt was mads in
ew York ; hot it was soon found that their
longrcl music and barbarous dances were
ot appreciated. The person who hired
tern, some irresponsibln,man of straw, made
ff,and left the poor Tong Hook Tong comany
in the lurch. Ignorant of our ways
nd language, and consequently utterly unale
to help themselves, they were soon
biiged to pawn their theatrical wardrobe,
ad siaoa axbana ing the prooaodt, have
res plunged in the depthe of daafinKioo.? r
lie charitable have tried to rake flnda Mf
uicnt to transport them to their rice-fields
nd chop-sticks. The money thus contribited,
however, sufficed only to discharge
ertain debts which they had incurred, and
hey were left hs far from China as ever. As
here seemed to be no other resource, it was
letermined to hand theui over to the Comnissioncrs
of Emigration, and apartments
vere prepared at the Alms House for their
eception. When, however,this information
vas conveyed to the unfortunate sons of
Confucius, they testified thcrr despair in the
ixtravagnnt manner of their nation,and unanuiously
declared that they would sooner die
han live on the alms of barbarians. Two
)f them gave a practical proof of the sincerty
of their declarations, the one with a rope
md the other with a razor : but fortunately
lirough the timely exertions of the worth)
lost of the Shakespeare, who was npprchcn
live that his house would bo turned into nr
iceldama, the nocks of both were saved ?
The celestials were nt length pacified by th?
iroiuise that another effort would be mnd<
;o get thorn home ; a subscription has beer
jpened, to which, through the medium of th?
lewspapers, the charitable are invited tc
:ontribute. Push a Chinaman to the wail
ind he will not long hesitate about "shufll
ng off this mortal coil," and u making his
juietus with a bare bodkin," or any othei
:onvenient instrument.
The intelligence received from day to dai
jf tho unprecedented ravages of the yellow
fever In New Orleans, has excited the liveli
;st sympathy nmong nil classes of our peo
?le. As a large number of the poorer
rlasscs are among the sufferers, it has beer
bought that woof New York ought to con
ribute something for the relief of our sis
:cr citv, with whom we entertain such intinntc
relations. Several meetings have beer
ield, and committees have been appointed t<
lake the matter vigorously in hand. Alreadj
$4,755 have been raised; and when the
:oinmitte? of twenty, who have volunteered
o call on the principal merchants in the
Mew Orleans trade shall have reported, it it
jrobablc a verv handsome amount will b?
bund to have been collected. It is proper
o say that Dr. Hawks has taken a prominent
(art in this praiseworthy movement.
The Atlantic sailed on Saturday Inst, carving
with a large number of other passengers,
Jar ies Buchanan, U. S. Minister to
England, nnd Pierre Sonle, Minister to Spain.
Phe latter gentleman on Friday evening, revived
a hue serenade from the Cuban sympathizers
in the city, to which he replisd
vitli his usual eloquence. This will be nnither
thorn in the side of the Spanish court.
Jf our European Ministers, there are now
tut two that have not received their instrucions;
these arc ex-Governor Vroum, who

The Crystal Palace still continues s ccnre
of attraction. Yesterday there were
1,384 admissions on single tickets. For the
lenetit of persons from the country, whose
united stay in the city would prevent them
rum getting the full value of a season tick t,
the Directors have just issued a new tickt
for 85, which is good for two months.?
'hey have also published a notice to all exibitors
who have not yet appeared, that

There are some splendid Pianos in the
ur, of both American and foreign inanuicture.
One of these is remarkable for the
with which it is played. The perform
r, instead of going through a long training
tid practising day after day, hna only to
:arn how to turn a crunk and ho can disburse
music which llerz himself could not

will young ladies find this mechanical
iano to be. No more torturing their little
ngers to stretch an octave ; no moro overbading
their precious brains with quavers,
poggiaturas, and nil that stuff; a simple
rind, and the music comes out ready made

A Word of Consolation.
Clihton's Drive, Aug. 8th, 1808.
Mr. Editor,?Allow me through your
columns, to speak a word of consolation to
a friend whose feelings are wounded by a 1
few remarks which I made about his garden
cotton blossom.
Dear Capt. J. S. P., I am sorry to see that
you are vexed with me for makings few remarks
about your early cotton blossom. 1
assure you that I did not intend to wound
the feelings of nny person ; I would bo far
from woundinir a man's feelincrs because he
is poor; I am poor myself and know too
well the feelings of a poor man to treat one
of that class with contempt. My object was
to cause others as well as yourself to gunrd
against such puffing whilst the prospects of
crops wore such a gloomy appearance as it
certainly would have a tendency to misrepresent
the crops of this District, but If you
had have confessed (as you now do) that
the early blootns was the effect of dry
weather nnd grass ; it could not have caused
any false impression abroad, and consequently
your feelingi&Skved from the wound which
it appears I hato inflicted upon them. It
does not necessarily follow that crops are
inferior bccnuse they bloom early, but you
seem to intimate that any person might have
known that your cotton was small and grassy
because It bloomed early. At the time of
your blossom puffing, I suppose your prospect
for a cotton crop was bad, and you
thought you would puff a little anyhow, as
it mattered but little to you how the market
was effected, but now your crop has improved
you tear your puff might effect you
in s different way from what you first expected,
consequently. yon would like to take
it back, but as news goes by lightning's
speed, you find th"t you cannot do this, but
you will send on another dispatch to balance 1
it off" by saying those early blossom* which
1 had on tho 16th of June was the effect of
dry weather nnd grass. Well send it on
Capt. it may have the desired effect, but if
cotton does full we will all know who to ,
blame. You talk about monarchy nnd all
this; you must think that I am not in s free ,
country as others can make calculations of
what may be the extent of the crop whilst ,
it is growing, but 1 must wait until the crop
is gathered, or until the end of the year 1853
or beginning of 54, perhaps you are not
aware that any calculations are ever made
until the crop is gathered, and I am about to
start something now, to make calculations
'whilst tho crop is growing; if this is your
opinion, I would advise you to read for farther
liiformn'ioD, come over nnd I will loan
, y.-u my spec's.
I was not so much astonished to see your
, name in print, indeed, I waa pleased, for I
knew you would be delighted with it your
self; but I was surprised and had to put on
my spec's before 1 could be convinced that
the man that was now puffing about a cotton
[ blossom in hia garden, was the same man
, that made perhaps nearly a balo of cotton to
the acre last year and said nothing about it.
Captain do tell our friend who w rote your
i piece for you to put out his head that I amy
hike a peep at him through those spec's of
which he sjwnka so eloquently. I would be |
glad he would give rue a little information I
on the culture of cotton, but if his experi- '
ence does not extend farther than the garden '
cotton he need not mind giving any infor. |
illation as that ia not the kind I plant, he <
appears to know so much about lightning I
speed he must be the fellow that I saw a I
few years ago near a telegraph office, he rode '
up to one of posts, hitched hia horse to it
and looked et the wires in aiuozemont, a
bystander asked him if he had ever heard of i
the great mngnctic telegraph, he said he had
and asked if that was it, the b)stander told
Iiiui it w as and if he did not mind his horse
would be in Charleston in leas than a min.
ut?. That horse was moved in short order,
this must be the same innn.
Tell him when he writes again to fix his
piece so that I can understsud it. When 1
first saw your piece in the last I,cdger 1
thought you had preached my funeral and
hud it published, but this cannot be the case
) as you did not pray for mo; then I thought
it wns your will, but this cannot be the caoe
, hh you owl noi tiequejilh anything to me. If
it isn word of conaolmion you want, I freely
give it to you, or if you want my apec'a you
can have them alao.
Yours, Respectfully,

Thk first thing to be considered by the
wcMNffol agricnltnriat is the nature and
constituents of the soil from which he wishes
to produce his crops. The next thing he
should consider is, what kind of culture, and
what particular manures will yield him the
most abundant crops, for a. succession of
yours. 1 hold lbs cut down and wear out
policy of the present age, is ths most deleterious,
sod least economical, (to asy nothing
of patriotism,) that could be adopted, It ie
true that this policy if, poliey it rosy be called
may for the time being, put s few more
dimes in the pockets of the planter, but this
doss not add anything to ths ganeral wsalth
of the Htata for what Ota wlantor train* is

[ of it* land*. If this syetem ahooid be eon*
j tiuued a few yaara loafer. South Caroline
will become a land of desolation and oothrifI

r District, who are eooaidered among, tne
i moat thrifty of our planters, who have, in
the last ten or fifteen years, eW down and
? and worn out more land than ttey are ahls

The Costa Diffloulty. th
The attention of our readers is invited to ^
the correspondence to he found in another m
column, between Mr. Brown, American "
Charge d'dflairea, at Constantinople, and Mr.
Brack, Austrian Envoy at the same place, In "
reffierence to the arrest of Martin Costa, a e|,
Hungarian. jc<
It is to be regretted, for the sake of hn* 'n
manity,that Austria's appetite for blood is not
yet eatlefied. The earth has drank doep of
it already, but still the unhappy Hungarians ?%
are hanted down, for further butcheries.
In the correspondence, there seems to he
a misunderstanding of facte; Mr. Brown
claims Costa as an American citiien, while ^
Mr. Brock says he is a Hungarian, and has
never ceased to be a subject of Austria. The **
truth of Mr. Brock's statements is evidenced
by rumors of some declarations mads by X
Costa, to the effect that "he was a Hungari- ol
an and would live and die one.n Mr.Brown'a *l
statement is proven by certified copies of ||
Costa's declarations of intention to become a aj
citlxeu of the United States, and the fact er
that Coeta, notwithstanding what ha is re- M
ported to have eaid, urgee his right to Amer.
ic&n protection. **
In mom quarter*,the course of Capt. Ingra- Vf
ham, of the American CorveUc, "St. Louia," T
in demanding Coat*, end detaining the Ana- M
Man ship by foree at Smyrna, la eondemnad,
for the reeeon that Coeta ia not e cititen th
of the United Statee; and therefor* not en.
titled to their protection. Had he, after ijj
making Ma declaration of intention to become jD
a citizen, remained in thia country, there th
wonld be no donbt of hi* right to protection ??
by our Government Three year* from th* U
time of making bia declaration, ha having re. M
aained within th* juriadietioa of the United ^
States, he amy bee erne n citizen. New, if )(j
it ia ebaolntely aariaaery that be aha eld rw M
main within the limit* of th# United State*,
t* be "within the jeiiadhtkm," then Mr. th
Brawn and Caytlagntam are wrong; hut if th
while travelling abroad with eertMad eepie*
hi* "papers," and under an American pearport,
ha will be iiimMIih* eonatnmtlvely "J
wttMa the jnrledkSee. Ihmi art Mr. Brown M
aad-Onpt. fngrsham right. W* Coeta, R
travelling, bound bjr Ms oath of allegice
to the United Suias! Without doubt
i was; and if so, it would aassa, b? is onled
to the protection of our government, 18
r it cannot with a good face claim allegb ^
ice only, where it grants, of right, protecm.
j
Some of our exchanges, are of opinion K
is affair may have an nnhappy influence ca
ton the Russian and Turkish question ; and b<
is probable it may. The Turks at Smyri
were well pleased with the interference of t0
ipt. Ingraham in behalf of Costa, and in ^
e excess of their joy, committed some out- r
ges upon the Austrian*. Austria may take ij.'
nb'rage at this, and warmly second the &
ovementa of Russia against Turkey. If tj
i, a general European war, will, in all prob- i |,,
ility, be the result. What part the Uni- |jj
d States, in the event ef such a war, shall p
idertake to perform, will be a question for it
e wise heads at Washingtou. The course
tinted out by the fathers of the Republic, U
r think the proper one?a strict neutrality.
There is but one state of facts that we re
rc
n now think of, that can justify the United (|
ates in interfering in European affairs.? ^
hat would be in case of a combination of n|
e despotisms of Continental Europe, to deroy
constitutional liberty-a thing which, a ai
ort time since was apprehended. In such g<
war, the post of duty for these States, ?
ould be by the side of England, with her
sink or swim. A lore of liberty, as well tr
a sense of self preservation, would impel "
em to adopt thin course. England is the
eak water to Enronean dennotiam airninat
hich its waves roll,to be broken end hurl- vj
I back, unfclt by us. But should the Statoa g
and passive, nnd permit England to be jr
uahed by auperior force, then would we A
el those waves, and be left alone to battle b
ninat them. Who can tell what the re- *'
It might be ? 'j
No.Celebration. ^
The projected celebration of the antiiver- J*
ry of the battle of King's Mountain, will,
ry probably be a failure. The various j
inmittecs appointed to promote the celeatien
refuse to non e, nnd any: w
"We are, nt the least, fifteen miles distant h
am the battle field, with no mode of reach- u
g the spot beyond the private means com- w
on to our country. The horses and veeles
of our village, tho' abundant for ordiiry
purposes, arc not more than sufficient
carry one half our own population to the "
ittle ground. The occasion, c .IcuLtod in fi
lelf to arouse the patriotic feeling of the it
itire State, and the nnmc and fame of Pros- si
n would crowd our village, by rr.e.ns of t|
ir railroad, with a mighty multitude. How ?{
uld these reach King's Mountain, by the 0|
pans within the control of your committees
the citizens of onr village? Sh.nll we bolilo
tho patriotic peoj Ic of Virgini , vorth ,
trolina, Tennessee, and of our own State tx
our village, with the hope of participating sji
the couimeuioration of this glorious anui- y\
rsary, and then, when after toil and travel
ev have caught a distant view of the mnunIn
peak, be told their hopes cannot be reIzed.
We will not thus trifle with the
y,?with the feelings of our fellow-chins
and countrymen, nor with the distin- ^
lished orator elect On some future occa- ul
>0, when those facilities of travel, which
ay be said to bo now in progress, sh~.ll ?r
ive been completed, we would most hoar- p
v participate in siding the accomplishment
tho object of the meeting of the 4>h *i1tl- '
o; but realizing its impracticability at the b?
cHcnt time, we respectfully decline the res- ,j,
ctive appointmenls conferred on us." j.
Education. tl]
The Episcopalians have purchased Glenn *'

"The Saitet*Mxy of Horn*"
We often hear this expression. There
much beauty and meaning in it.
The sanctuary waa a tacrtd plac*.?
jch should home bo. It should be a
ot from whose precincts every thing
lat can defile is carefully excluded.?
very word, every look and thought that
in profane its sacred character, should
> rigidly excluded as by a law of Sinai.
The sanctuary was a place consecrated
i the service of God. Such should home
!. There should las the family altar,
om which should ascend the morning
r.d evening incense of prayer and praise,
here G<xl should be worshipped, not
isually, hastily, and formally, as though
ie duty were a mere incident to the
ouse; but statedly, sincerely, ard doubtfully,
as though it were an etsenlial
urt of its business, one grand design of
s institution.
The sanctuary was a place of protocon,
a sacred asyluum. Such should
[>me be. There the weary should find
*t; the afflicted, sympathy; the poor",
'lief, the tempted, aid; the erring, counsel;
ic repentant, pardon. Its walls should
rever exclude revenge, passiou, envy,
id corroding care.
The sanctuary was a place of order
ml beauty. Such should home be, The
eniua of tasto and order should preside
ithiii and around every home, however
mely. It should be made tho most atactive
place in the world to all its in*
intes?the spot towards which their
loughts imd footsteps turn with instinct
ad delight.
The sanctuaiy was an institution of diine
appointment. So is home. God

The sanctuary had its priesthood. So
as home. And from this priesthood wolanisnot

The sanctuary was a type of heaven.?
uch should home l>c. In its sweet harinny,
its delightful intercourse, its e?
cesof kindness, its purity,its unselfii-lincfta

nould typify that everlaating home of
