Heaven. Beyond theeo chilling winds and gloomy skies, Beyond death's cloudy portal, There is a land where beauty never dies, Where love becomes immortal. A land whose light is never dimmed by shade. Whoso Holds aro ever vernal; >vricic QGiiimg biNniUiui can ever i&t&e, But blooms for aye, eternal. Wo may not know how sweet tho balmy air, How bright and fair its flowers; We may not hear the songs that echo there, Through those enchanting bowers. Tho city's shining towers we may not sro With our dim earthly vision; For Death, the silent warder, keeps the key That opens thc gate elysian. But sometimes when adown the Western sky A fiery sunset lingers. Its golden gates swing inward noiselessly. Unlocked by unseen lingers. And while they stand a moment half ajar, Gleams from the inner glory Stream brightly through the azure- vaults a'far, And half reveal thc story. O, land unknown! O, land of love divine! Father, all-wise, eternal, O, guido these wandering, way-worn feet of minc Into those pastures vernal. At one of tho colored churches iv Mobile, the minister, having finished his sermon, announced that a collec tion would be taken up for missionary purposes. Thc "sasser" was accord ingly sent around. When it came back to thc pulpit, the preacher pro ceedc-d to count the amouut received, and, among the fractional currency, he discovered a $10 Confederate bill, He looked at it for some time, wit! evident disgust, and then took a cain look at his congregation, over the tor. of his spectacles. Thou, chipping tin uncurreut bill upon the open bible, with indignant emphasis, he ex claimed: "Brederiu, I put dis bil right dar, on dc bible, an' let do Lort take care of dat mau!'' \NT;CT>OTE OF BISHOP POLK.-Ol thc Sunda}- previous to the death o Gen.

This was probably the firs occasion of thc occupation of a Chrii tiau pulpit on Sunday by a Jewis preacher.

The Charleston Mercury ?ives us tho following sketch of this venerable minister of the Methodist Church : This great man and prince in tho Methodist Church has departed. His extremo ago had led the Clrurch to expect it; but though long antici- ! pated, his death will not fail to clotho tho Church in mourning. He was born in Massachusetts, Au- I gust 1, 1781, within thc section of the State subsequently erected into the State of Maine. In 1707, lie be? came a member of the Methodist Church, and in 1708. when ouly seven? teen years of age, entered upon tho preparatory duties of tho ministry, accompanying the presiding cider ! that year a? an exhorter. These efforts j of his boyhood attracted much atten jtiou, affording evidence, as they did I at that early day, of his powers of j utterance, that afterwards rendered I him celebrated. He entered regularly upon tho du ! ties of tho ministry in 1700, and, after laboring for three years as a circuit j preacher, was elevated to thc position of presiding elder, which position he tilled with marked ability for tho en? suing twelve years. In 1S?8, ho first became conspicu? ous as a legislator in the Church. The General Conforeuee of that year, finding the general representation by all the ministers no longer feasible, determined upon thc Organization of a Delegated Conference, to meet quadrennially. Joshua Sonic, as chairman of thc committee to whom this responsible duty was confided then only twenty-six years of ago perfected thc constitution of thc Church, which stands at this day as ho then offered it for adoption. Only those who aro aware of tho struggles and fiery ordeals through which this plan of Church organization has passed, arc prepared to appreciate the wonderful sagacity and legislative ability of its youthful author. He, in 181S, at tho bidding of thc General Conference, projected the Methodist Magazine, ho being senior editor, as well as publisher, for bc had boen put at the head of the pub? lishing interests, then centred in New York, as carly as 1816. The Magazine was a great sucfj?s, and the dose of the first year found 10,000 cash sub? scribers upon his books. A great event for tho Church, as well as Mr. Soule, occurred in 1820. He was elected by tho General Con? ference to the Bishopric on the loth May. On the 20th May, thc dele? gates from the Northern and Eastern States succeeding in adopting, by a small majority, a measure with which they had agitated tho (.'burch for twenty-eight years, to wit: the elec? tion of Presiding Elders by the Con? ferences, instead of their appoint ment by the Presiding Bishop. Joshua Sonic, upon the passage ol this -as he deemed-unconstitutional act, promptly resigned the position to which he had been elected, declin? ing consecration. His resignation resulted in a postponement of any enforcement of tho law; four yean afterwards it was virtually repealed, and ho was again elected and solemn? ly consecrated. This was a splendid tributo, both to his character ns : man and his ability as a legislator. In 1844, thc same class of mon lait vli*H.;ilu auiiy.) lipi?vi X>iOiiUp ?ililli CV. who, by a second marriage, had bc como indirectly connected witl slavery. Joshua Soule put forth al his efforts to prevent a division of th? Church. Bat sectional bato hat already gained tho ascendancy. Tin majority, without charging Bisho] Andrew with crime, and denying bin a trial by jury, attempted to depos him; and Joshua Soule, though New Englander, opposed to slavery and never in any way its abettoi found himself compelled, in his ol? j age, in thc maintenance of his con j seientious convictions, to tear himsel away from all his early associates. II cast in his lot with the Souther Church, and removed near Nash viii? whore ho died. He was, in every respect, a grei mau. He was of a commandin figure, tall and oroct. He was ez ceedingly courteous -dignified, ye approachable. His manners wei marred neither by lightness or au terity. His pulpit performances pa took somewhat of these traits. II sermons wore complete, but not poi j derous; his bearing was diguifie? 1 profoundly earnest, yet singular! calm. Ho was ardently attached ti* tl great principles upon which tl j Church of his dioico was based, ai i throughout lifo was ono of its mo heroic and aldo defenders. An atme phere of purity seemed to pervai hi?> presence; and, though section malignity attempted to charge hi i with selfishness, because incapable appreciating Iiis bravery, ho lived ' life of patient self-denial longenouj to silence even tliesc attempts sully his spotless Christian charade j He had been waiting for years t time of his dismissal, and no don heard with gladness the messen? from thc skies declare: "it is onong ' conic up higher." j MEDICINE vs. No MEDICINE.-It : i a curions fact in medical history, tl during the prevalence of cholera ?

The Great American Blood Purifier. m HE QUEEN'S DELIGHT, thc great 1 American Alterative and Blued Puri? fier, its the most perfect vegetable com? pound of alteratives, tomes, diuretics and diaphoretics; making it the most effective invigorating, rejuvenating and blood cleansing cordial known to tho world. nary medicine to the public, observation leads us to remark that too little attention ii- paid to the "life of all tlc: U," the blood. Many diseases, ami, too, many complaints, which have their origin in a vitiated state of the blood, are treated only ils symptoms and results; whereas, if thc remedy had keen applied to eui ich tho blood and ren? der it pure, both cans.: and effect would have been removed. The Queen's Delight is offered to the afflicted as a sun; remedy for those diseases arising from an impure condition of thu blood, lt bas a direct ami speedie action upon that fluid, and consequently renders tho blood pure, lt is said, on high authority, that "man no sooner begins to live than he begins to die, and that tho characteristics of the living organism are ceaseless change and ceaseless waste." lt is obvious, therefore, to every reflecting mind, that unless tho blood is ?mr", in supplying thc waste tis? sues with material, it must bo the cause of innumerable ill* and constitutional disor? ders, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, He? patic Disorders, Consumption, Inflamma? tions, Fevers, Occ. Life and health is only to be maintained by the circulation of pure arterial blood. Wo therefore advise (very ona whose i Mood is in the least vitiated ivy indulgence ?or excess, and whose constitution is hu lairod by disease and is suffering from theumatism, Liver Complaint, Consump? tion, Scrofula or King's Evil, Carbuncles, Roils, Itching Humor of the Skin. Erysi? pelas, Skin Diseases, 'fetter, Roughness of the Skin, Pimples, blotches, Pains in the Pones, old Ulcers, Syphilis and Syphilictio Sons, Indigestion, Inflammation of the bladder and Kidneys, Pains m the Paid;, General Debility, and for all complaints arising fruin deficiency and poverty of blood, to use tin: Queen's Delight. Females of delicate constitution, sr.!" r ing from weakness and depression ol mind in consequence of those complaints which nature imposes at the period of change, have a pleasant and .-ure remedy in thi : Queen's Delight. Children whose fair and raddy complex? ion gave carly promise of health and ; beauty, but too soon become blanched and pale.by some hereditary taint of the blood, will have the rich boen restored by using the Queen's Delight. The unaeclitnated and persons traveling ! into wann countries will lind tho Queen's i Delight a great protection from all malari? ous affection and diseases which originate in a change of climate, diet and life. The extraordinary and unprecedented I cures performed hy the Queen's Delight Compound is attracting thc: attention of 1 ev ery one. not Olllv at. homo, but abroad. The merits of this compound an: being j i'lt and appreciated everywhere. Hear i what they nay of it in New York: "lt is a ! rem? dy of much importance and value, i exerting an influence over all thc secre? tions, which is unsurpassed by any other ? known alterative, lt is extensively used in all the various forms of primary and secondary syphilitic affections; also, in scrofulous, hepatic and cutaneous diseases, in which it- use is followed by the most successful results.'" Its properties as a remedy we re first in? troduced to the notice of tin: profession by Dr. Thus. Young Simons, of South Carolina, as c arly as 1S2*. as a valuable alterative re? medy in syphilitic affections, and others re? quiring usc of mercury. Dr. Simons' state? ments have bein endorsed and extended by Dr. A. Lopez, of Mobile, and Dr. ll. E. I Frost, of ("naries.on. From the reports in its favor, there seems no reason to doubt ? the efficacy of this medicine m Secondary i Syphilis, Scrofula, Cutaneous Diseases, ' Chronic Hepatic Affections and other com? plaints benefited by alterative medicines.
