The Washington exchanges annoonce the demise
of tbia venerable relic oT 'a past snd glorious age.
Blr,Cs recollections of Washington were of thril-
ling interest. He Was at the battle of North Point,
among the detendera of Baltimore, and all who
have had the pleasure of spending a holiday .at
bis beautiful resort at Ailingtco, on the sooth-side
of the Potmao, immediately opposite Washington,
know how to appreciate "a fine old gentleman,
one of the olden time."
In early life he was devoted to literature, particu-
lary of a dramatic character. He wrote and ad
apted to the stage " Pocahontus," founded upon
incidents connected wtth' the early history of Vir-
ginia. He waa a mild, corteoua and amiable gen-
tleman; a Patriarch of those who occupied tbe
land of Fairfax, and filled more than the allotted
period of man—three acore yean and ten. Peace

"By the steamer Star of the West, whiob reoently
arrived here from Aapinwull, advices were received
from tbe .South Pacific coast or the intended ship-
ment to this country from 140 to ISO "Llamas," via
tbe Isthmus of Panama. Theeejinnimals are well
known in the Pacific, where they are extensively
used as bessts of burden, and are very valuable for
their wool. In tbe mountains of Pern and Ecua-

ea-e of tbe corresponding period of any preceding
year No oounyy ia, or ever was, so rich in its na
tural resources aa our own; but no country osn be

It is only when production ia oómbiqed with skill
in manufacture, that a country oT even suob emin

We have neither time nor space to-day to remark
upon that notion of political economy, whiob re-
gard tbe purobaalng of goods above what we can
sell, to the extent'of some sixty millions, and the
exportation of specie to meet tbe deficiency, as a
prudent and wise system upon whiob to conduct
our foreign trade. To our apprehension, the bare
mention of tbiastate of things afforda a solution
for the question, why, with a growing and thriv-
ing country, and with unexampled resources, we
need to experience aooh difficulties aa those through
whioh we are new passing.

Scarcely since tbe days of the notorious Rump
Parliament, has such a spectacle been presented to
the world as has been exhibited the past few years
in the enlightened States of our Onion, of priests
turning statesmen, and presuming to dictate or
meddle in the affairt> of civil government—a spec-
tacle humiliating to our national character and free
institutions. Not tbat they should be debarred
the free exercise of all the privileges and immuni-
ties of citixeus constitutionally conferred upon
them; bat when ordained to the ministry of Ood,
they are virtually absolved from all the duties ol
State, and are virtually pledged to abstain from all
tbeca>e8of eivil government. Those cares and
duties, by the organisation of society, devolve as
much upon civilians, and them alone, as eeclesias
tical duties devolve upon the Cloth; and it ¡s not
only the climax of presumption and egotism but
base and revolutionary, thus to seek a blending of
State and Church demarcations.
They geek to be "wise above what is written,"
when tbey attempt dication to statesmen whose age,
experience, wisdom and devotion have wedded them
as indissolubly to the welfare of the States as the
ordination of the former ought to them to tbe Gos-
pel of Christ. Tbey ought to be satisfied with their
evangelical mission ; but this intermeddling is only
another humiliating evidence of the fact, that In
all ages there liasbeen an unconquerable hankering
after political power by those clothed in sacerdotal
habiliments—at the same time presenting another
proof to the world that "the price of liberty is eter-
nal vigilance."
Qur Institutions—no thanks to them are so framed
as to give tbe Churob a tolerance and freedom en-
joyed under no other government; and if tbey poi
sess that wisdom and foresight usually accredited to
tbem, they will ere long diaoover their errorj and
bring fruits meet for repentance. And if they have
so far reformed the moral world as to tnrn darkness
Into marvelous light, it is not yet known without
the pale of the Church ; and if they have purified
those vaat oharnel • houses of the North—those sinks
of iniquity by whioh those self-glorified "cities set
on a hill" are surrounded—then we recommend
them to purify themselves—get rid of "the dead
men's bones^and all manner of nncleanness," from
within their own whlted* sepulchres.
We by no means class all preachers in this cat-
Tb re are tboee who "preaeb Christ and

the existing civil polity than their master did. The
two olassesar*known, disguised as- some of them
may be, and the sober seoond thought of the people
will assign eaoh ita proper plaoe. Then if those
nondescripts wish to enter the polltioal arena with
their oliibe of logio, let tb'em oome. But this detes-
table "Praise God-Barebonea" fighting of political
battles with the sword of the Churoh is more than
our Government intended to encourage, or will ever
assent to.—Hueca Valley.

What a Niwspapkr does ros Nothing.—The
following article should be read and pondered well
by every man who takes a newspaper without
paying for it:
The result of my observation enables me to state
as a /act, that the publishers of newspapers are
more poorly rewarded than any class of men fa the
O. S., who invest an eqoal amount of labor, capí-
tol and thought; Tbey are expected to do more
service for less pay, to stand, more sponging and
"dead-heading," to puff and detend more people
without fee or hope of reward, than any other class
They credit wider and longer, get oftener cheat
ed; suffer more pecuniary l<Ae; are ofterner the vic-
tims of-misplaced confidence, than any other call-
ing fa the community. People pay a printer's bill
more reluctantly than any other. It goes harder
with them to expend a dollar on a valuable news-
paper than ten on a needless gewgaw; everybody
avails himself of tbe use of the editor's pen and
the printer's ink.
How many professional and political reputations
and fortunes have been made and sustained by the
friendly, though unrequited pen of the editor ? How
many embryo-towns and cities bsve been brought
into notice, and puffed into prosperity by the
prese? How many railroads, now iu successful

Btagger ahd shake is prepared to run life's race as
bravely and almost as nimbly as his parent. The
bird only uses his mother's wardrobe until bis own
is ready for him, when he bids good bye to the qld
folks at home,and is prepared to oonrt and marry,
and set up hr-use-keeping for himself. Why tbis
difference, apparently so unfavorable to man ? Is
it that, having sn endless existence before him, he
may take his own time for development; nay must
even end, bis existenoe here with his powers only
beginning to unfold themselves, while the brute in
whose brief period of life every faculty is to be per
fected, every function fulfilled, rushes at once to
maturity.
Many think so, and have draWn from man's fee-
ble beginnings and unperfeoted developments here
a strong argument for his immortality. However
this may be, let us not quarrel with the present ar-
rangement. Whether or Lot we can satisfactorily
determine why all shónld onoe be babies, we have
no difficulty at all in seeing ; why babies should be.
Fancy a world without them 1 No infanta, no chil-
dren, no youths and maidens I Why, a Quuker
world, in. whioh roeses and pinks should be slate
oolor, and tnlips different shades of drab, and
where birds should whine through their noses in-
stead of singing, would be;á far morecheerfnl place
of residence. Ah, if babies are part of the conse-
quences of the fall; if without tbe sin of Eve and
Adam, their successors, like themselves, would have
been born froum up, surely the consideration may
abate somewhat our resentment against a weakness
which, iflt
'* Brought death into the world and all our woé,"
brought also such redeeming compensations. Ba-
bies are softening, nay humanising elements inso-
ciety. The rougbesthoy pultf off his Cap, softens
hie tone, and steps on tiptoe to the oradle-to "take
tbe baby." Tbe man of toil or business may fail to
find on tbe face of bis wife—clouded perchance by
petty cares or by real sorrows—the shoothing smiles
tbat shall make him forget his bnrdens. But bring
in the baby I place in his arms the dimpled, rosy,
trusting **yongest born," and see bis brow relax,
his lips curl with Bmiles, bis tones become soft and
musical I How its "winsome helplessness" appeals
to his pity, and "pity melts bis soul to love." Yes,

fections* Far more potent in tbe fsmily for good

llave you noticed an infant just waking from a
nap ? 1 he hair dam p and curled with balmy sweat,
tbe cheek tbe inside of a rose-lipped shell, tbe eyes
half opened and dreamy, tbe limbs and arras flung
about like vine tendrils, graceful and aimless; can
anything be lovelier! Tet, in memory an image
rises lovierstill. A cherub babe, scarce two months
old, brought into the sanctuary by a beautiful
mother, to be dedicated to Him who "took such
Into His arms and blessed them." How touched
with soul-felt tenderness was the face of the minis-
ter, for the unconscious innocent who lay in bis
arms was, you needed not to be told, hisown 1 Ton

tbat little one, tbat "of such is tbe kingdom of
caven." And another scene rises also A little
form, seemingly cut in allabaster, so pure, so fault-
less ie it, witb a wreath of lillies round a brow paler
than they, but lit by an unearthly glow, the dimp-
led hands encircled with flower bands,"and the lips
halfparted with a smile. How lovely I weexolaim;
but a deep sob comes from a mother's riven heart,
and we turn away in tears.
Tears I Oh, the tears shed over and by babies in
tbis sin stricken world 1 What a "great river" of
grief, parting in Eden' from four heads," has flowed
thence to- the four quarters of tbis globe I Is it not
the mystery of mysteries that the only beings of our
fallen race who are innocent of "actual transgres-
sion," should pass nights of fortuse and days-of
weeping, and then, perhaps, wring the mother's
heart by the anguish of parting, and the "pains of
death f "Will it be so in the Millenium f Will It
be so when we shall have learned better even tbe
physical laws of our being, and tbe virtues of tem-
perance and self control ? Hbilanthroplsta say no.
