Tho Evangelical High Consistory, Berlin, Prussia, has issued the accompanying declaration in answer to the invitation of tho Pope of Koine, callod Pius tho Ninth, extended to all Protestants and non-Catholics throughout the world to return to tho "so called" only fold, meaning, of course, tho Church of Ilomc: TllE DECLARATION. <!Tho head of tho Itoman Catholic PI I. 1 1 1 \ - i v. mi n il mis uuurcuscu h i ireuiar Jjct[ ter, dated September 13th. 18G8, to nil i Protestants, nnd therefore also to the i members of our Evangelical Established Church. AVe rejoico sincerely that this letter, although containing many unjust accusation^, nevertheless gives expression in affectionate language to respect and good will towards Protestants; and We would willingly consider this as an augury of a more amicable rehi'.ion between both Confessions hereafter, productive of good to the Commonwealth, the people, Industry and triumnh of Chris tian truth. Every true evangelical christian acknowledges his obligation to love sincerely the members of other Confessions, and laments the existing I ^division of the Chftrch. But in ns much as the head of another Church ! calls in said letter on the members of J our Church, and that with tho assumed authority of their Chief Shepherd, to yield up their precious faith, founded on the immoveable Word of j Cod, and sealed with the blood of its confessors, and also to renounce the | truth, and surrender the Evangelical j liberty regained for the Church in the i blessed Reformation, and as he moreover does not manifest any disposi- J non 10 accomplish the desired union j in accordance with the principles of j eternal truth, wo decidedly disapprove ' of his action, as an unwarranted inter-; ference with our Church, and we feel i ' j conlident that all Evangelical Christians agree with us in this. The members of our Church do not at all require to be admonished not to give heed to this call; but it appeal's proper to us, in view of these over- j tures, to remember, that as many of | our fellow believers are living among j Roman Catholics, and exposed to j many temptations to become unfaith-! ful to the Evangelical Confession, to provide the means required to furnish all such with the blessings of the j preached Word of God, the Scriptural j administration of the Sacraments, i Evangelical schools, and pastoral fcu- j pcrvision, and as these aro the objects i of the collections, which are to be ! ... ~ - - ' Luueu up wiimn a lew uayff and weeks i for the relief of the most prefixing | wants of our Church, and in aid of: tho Gustav Adolph Society; let us | therefor^, filled with the spirit ofj peace, do good to all, but especially to our fellow believers. "We call upon the Royal Consistory to direct the Clergy within its district to employ, either on the day of the collection, or on a suceceding Sunday, such prefatory remarks as shall, if not literally, yot in spirit, corivnpond with tho above declaration." A Bbave but Unfortunate Cat ?Some lime ago a cat, belonging to Mr. Cumming, merchant, Jjyuwilg, while out on a hunting expedition, hud the misfortune to get into a trap, whereby ita two fore legs wore bio Ken. when roleaaod it managed to cruwl home, and by cure aud alien* lion recovered so as lo bo able to resume its poaching forays.

There can bo no excuso for any young man who never write* home, or whose lotters to the old folks there ?whose dreams are ever dt tbeii eon?are few and iar between, and not worth much even when obtained It is t>ad to think, that there arc young men who let weeks and months pass away without a letter to theii parents, or their brothers and sisters? who, when they do write, onlj* send a line or two with some lame excuse for j their not doing more ; a line or two j saying nothing, just containing sonic I stereotyped statement, or vngue utj terftnee, which gires no information. I Why, the value of a letter from a ! young man to tlie far-off town or vilI lage home, consists in its little details ; ! its affectionate gossip; its account of j any circumstance or incident that may have promised in it of advantage ; its story of hopeful struggle, of dawning success; or its reference to new formed friendships,?to hooks read, churches attended, lectures listened to, with a thousand things besides, which may he small in themselves, but which show an interest in the home circle, and manifest the beating of "the child's heart within the man's." Young men are not aware what pain * 1 inn umy mnici i?\- apparent neglect; how letters, brief and infrequent, may gJve rise to fear and donbt^ a?d occa-< sion anxious days and wakeful nights! Now don't neglect home. Don't seem indifferent to your own family, as if all your interest were transferred to strangers. Keep the chain of communietion bright by use, and write freely and fully, with unrcstaained confidence, th^t it may be felt that there is neither blight on the affections nor error in the life, which is too often the cause of that lapso ill filial or fraternal correspondence, which though the result also at times of mero t.hougbtfulness, is always unkind and sometimes cruel. Tue Tim!BL?.?The name of tlii little instrument in Paid to have deri* vcd frum "thumbcll," being at first tlaimble and then thimble. It is of Dutch invention, and was brought to England about the year 1C05, by John Lciting who commenced iU manufacture at Islington, near London, and purs .led it with great px'ofit and success. Formerly iron aud brass were r.seu, but lJUlerly steel, silver, gold have tuken their places. In the ordinary manufacture, thin plates of metal are introduced into a die, and theu punched into slmpo. In Paris, gold thimbLes are manufactured to a largo extent. Thin sheets of sheet-iron are cut into dieB of about two inches in diameter. These being heated red-hot, are struck with a punch into a number of holes, gradually increasing in depth to give them proper shape. The thimblo is then trimmed polished, and indented around its outer surfuco .with a number of little holes, by means of a email wheel. It is then converted into steel by the cementation process, tempered, scoured, and brought into a blue color. A thin sheot of gold is then introduced into the interior and fastened to the steel mandril. "Gold leaf is then applied to the out side, and attacliod to it by pressure, ihe edges being fastened in a small groove made to receive them. Tho thimble is then ready for uso. Thoso made in this manner do not wear out, as so many good ordinary gold thimbles do, but will last for years. The gold coating, if cut away by needles, may bo easily replaced, but tho steel is of an excellent quality j*nd very durable. ? > # r To Make Cl.ws Givb Milk.?A writer who says bin cow gives all iho milk ibat is wanted in a family o eight person*, and from which' was made two hundred and nix y poundfc oi butter in tbe j'car, gives lha following us his treatment.

Dear Little . Ukadrus.?You art all fond of stories, 1 know, a:.d I have j concluded to tell you one or two in this letter. i Did j-ou ever see a fox ? I expeel Homo of yon have not, especially som< of my little city friend*, for foxes d< I not live in cities ?but out in the field! and wood*, whero geese, and ducks and pigs, and chickens, and lambs are plentiful. Well now for those who have nol seen a fox, I will try to give yoa ni idea how one looks. Did you cvei sco a email (log of a reddish-yel low color, with a sharp nose and bushy tail? "Certainly" you say, "1 havo seen many a dog like that, why is not that for all the world, the way our "Fido" or "Carlo/ looks?"; Well then you have a pretty good idea of hew the "red fox," as it is called, looks. There is the red for, the gray fox, ami I have seen it somewhere stated that. In extreme southern latitudes, the fox becomes almost black through tho influence of the climate. Foxes are fond of good things; I believe children are too, and so are some birj jicnple, especially preachers, at least, that is the general notion about them. Well, foxes are great lovers of poultry of all kinds, and breafast on a nice fat pig, or a 3*oung lamb, with evident nutisfaction. But you say, "all this is "Natural History," and wo get sick enough ol that at school. I thought you promised to tell.us a story or two." "Well, I am going to tell you a real Btorv, a fox a lory, but wanted you to know something of the cunning fellow before I gave it. By the way, whom did our Saviour call a fox in scripture, and why? But stop, or I will get off the subject, or story again. Listen thenA few days ago, I was returning when I reached tlio stage depot, about day light, and found that delightful conveyance.was not due for an hour, I concluded t? walk on in the direction of Staunton, as I would get enough of the fun of riding in tho a niw T * l-.l -i ^ ??. kju x inivvmu uu anu home from a visit to my mother, and had made 6 miles when the stage came lumbering tip. "But what about the fox story ?" Ob yes, I am wandering again. Well as I was walkijig along, enjoying the bracing air of that frosty morning, just as the first golden streaks of the sun began to peer over the hills, I saw a fiu'o red-fox start, very much frightened, out of a fence corner on my right, yjot moro than twenty feet ahead of me. I watched for a long distance, as he ran in real foxly ymce over the field. Then I determined to reconnoiter, as a generaj, would say, to see what Reynard, fbr this is what tho fox is Horaeiimoa called, was doing there that time in the morning-, and why ho let me get bo near him before ho ran. And what do you think I saw.? A nice little pig, that some of my little readers would have been so glad to hare bad for a pet. But Mr. Pox wanted it for his breakfast, and so ho stole .it from its nice warm nest, and took it there to ant Ttinnnli if rt-nfl nmfa /-?/inA n rwl ? *? * MVMgM *W if t*o VV U(IU bloody, yet ho had not eoten much of it when I came sauntering along, and sent him off hungry I expect. "What a thief," you say, "he was." Yea,-and his conduct on being discovered, reminded me of somethings I have seen, not among the foxcB. 116 seemed to^eel guilty, and so ho soampoved off at a great rate,* when lift trao JienAtV/inart ???*? ?? ? ?? MIBW?V?VU. U4 Ul^ little readers know any thing of which this fox's conduct reirtind's them ? Can't you. think ? Well I think I can tell them of something cry much like it. Don't you remember, Fannie, well no, I expect Fannie is too good a girl for that, perhaps it was Katie, how you colored np, and would have run away, but tliero was no way to run; Wncn yourita came in the other day and caught you with your fingers In fheWgar bowlT Y<vu w6re nl)out as badly Bcarod, "J guess," ?S 'tb6 Ibi enjo^-iHg his ^ptg.
