"THERE IS A GOD." To demonstrate this all-important fact there is amploF prooi, arising irom innumcrauio sources, ah uaiuro declares, in ono harmonious concert, 'There is a God,' and its sound echoes and ro echoes from pole to pole, through eaith'.s widu expanse All things, animate and inanimate, above, beneath, around proclaim, 'There is a God ' Tho monitor within repeats the faithful talc, 'There is a God.' If lho contemplative cyo turns to those worlds and systems of worlds that move in so wonderful harmony in the ctlictial arch above, tho beholder is not only as tonished at tlio beauty of the scene, but is furnished with a visible manifestation of tho presenco of tho Al mighty He sees an infinitude of worlds describing their respective circles around one common centre, at tracting and attracted in turn.

We are told that two millions four hundred thousand voles were actually given to tho recent election CGen. Harrison, as Presldont of the Republic, Thf is at icit three times as many votes as our tniscraolo con stituency can give for all the representatives, or rather nni representatives of England, Wales, Ireland nnd Scotland The wholo male adult population of the Tinted hlttus cannot, at most, amount to three mill ions and a half, and if wo fake into consideration the many hundreds, or perhaps thousands, who, from nh sence, accidents, or various causes, did not voto at all, we airivo very nearly to the point of universal suffrage. nothor great distinction is, that tho votes in America nro free, whilst it Is not too much perhaps to say that in our kiiigdom,with the exception of a few largo towns, nine-tenths of our votes aro moro or less corrupt. Ho it remarked that thoso votes were civon not upon an election of some representative of a borough, but for a P. sovereignty of tho Union. We find very few charges of fcj bribery and corruption; not any caso ol an election coring riot, except ono charge of corruption, which, fs when brought before tho brand Jury was dismissed; and yet, in so severe a contest, which involved such very strong party feelings, numerous charges would cry strong party feelings, numerous charges would avo been brought, had thcro been any foundation for hem. Such arc tho practical ciTccts of tho ballotf- h them, nucli arc tho t There ato many scrutinies in our House of Commons, at every general election, and almost in every session, which expose erroneous perjury and corruption, and which cost, probably, four times tho expenses incurred n this creat and Glorious contest of political freedom, tins supciu exercise oi civil rights. tno American writers asseit thatthero verv fow nualified persons who .i . f r oil - t : did not voto, and 3 ct, at a general election in our coun-i trv. how many thousands there aro that daro not. a."uP3 do not voto al all, bolnjj leduced to tho blackest perju ry, or of incurring ruin by voting against somo patron or landlord ! With respect to. religion, morals, tho public peace, privato decency, and tho general welfare of the nation, it is obvious that Republicanism is infi nitely superior to .Monarchy. Hut who was this General Harrison, the candidato for tho sovereignty of this immense country; of an ex tent of nearly ton times that of England, and with a population almost as largo' What pretensions did he put forth' He urged his competent age, his long ox ncrience. and acknowledged talent in public business, K Ins manifold services in the country, and tho praiso which his enemies gavo him for his private virtues. llo nil tlinsn llilnrrs. nr nnv nnn of them, constitute n B! claim to the European throne When that dreadful tyrant, Geoigo tho Third, ascended the Ihrone, his mother avowed that ho xvas little better than an idiot, and lho press proclaimed that ho exhibited the strong- 03 est and vcrv worst symptoms of raving madness.

Had not his successors been of more liberal principles, this calamity must have ta ken place. The Keform Hill brought things to this crisis. Hut far bo it from us to speak with lho ilight est disrespect of hor present Majesty, but we may tJo allowed in contrast her sex and youth on coming tothe Crown, with the claims to suprcrno power put forth by the American President. General Harrison explained his pii'icipW He stated his age ; the services ren dered lv ins fuher iu Ihe war which rescued Ameiica from the iron tyrany of our detestable monarch.

' Get get get tltce back to thn buildings !' at length he sputtered in exploding rage. ' (let thee back, thou audacious thou thou God-forsaken reproba'tc !

' I will detain thee 1 will soizo thco I will curse thee, and, vorilr, I will smite thee !' again exclaimed tlio fuming Elder, springing 'at lho oilier and making a desperate grasp at Ins collar. Tlio vounc man, however, was not taken unprepar ed for tho om.ni, and tho next instant the wrathful Quaker wns snrttwhntr uooti the earth. Hounding forward for tlio pond with tho object of getting out upon lho water oeioro ms uiscomuieu an tagonist cou(d recover liimsoii arid reacn mo suuro in pursuit, Seth quickly gained tho landing, hastily un fastened the skilf and- looped aboard ; but, before he could succeed in clearinsr the boat fairly from the shore, and as ho was stepping backwards, with handled oar, to take his seat in the stern, the iniunainu inner came pulling in hot has'to down tho bank and dashed into the water up to his knees after the receding boat, which even at that moment had jnst passed out of his ren h. Espying, however, tho end of tho tie-rope, which, in the hurry of unfastening, had not been taken up, and which was now dracilling through tlio water within reach, he instantly seized it and gave it a sudden and Kj furious jerk. Unconscious of Ihe oversight ho had ft con. milted, and, therefore, wholly unprepared for this movement, ihe toune man lout his balance in tho vio lence of the ahock, was precipitated backwards over ft ino end ot Hie sum inio me waier, ana iiisiamiy uwap pcared beneath the surface. With a desperato elfort tho Elder first drew the skiff up high and dry on the bore, ihen hurriedly catching upan oar and springing l.uk to the water's edge, he held the formidable no pie me nt uplifted over his head as if in readiness fr a fstal blow the instant Ins victim's head should re-appear on the surface. In a few seconds tho young man carao up just out of reieh of tlio weapon, when, per ceiving the threatening attitude of his antagonist, ap paienlTy determined on hi destruction should he at tempt to come ashore, be seemingly boeamc panic struck and confused ; and, after glaring wildly around htm an instant, aunk ag4in, with a gurgling sound, be neath the surface to rise no more to the view. With a look of still unmitigated m.lice and feroi.tv. and with the same menacing attitude, the ruthless I'. der stood wailing for a second appearance of hi .' - nm a full moment, when he began to cih.bit tokens of surprise and lowered his weapon a little, still keeping. however, tus eye Koeniy nseo wo un !- .o'ci ing in vain nearly another momeot for the druwnm mn lo rise, ihe Elder baeitne thoroughly alarm? i. and, throwing down hu or, hurriedly retreite i a ro i,r euro on ii bank Here ha turned aud threw ario'. . er anxious and troubled look upon and around the fatal spot A few faint bubbles, ruing successitelv to th sjiiice, alune snsweted bt irmuirtng gaie . an I. read ing in tlaetn conclusive evidence of tha horrid truth, lie gave a convulsive start, and tW in terror toward the build in j s as iaut as Wis noaking-iimbs oould carry bun, mumbling triJ chattering to hiiuteU as he ?

Nay, I will not let the af i fair be known, but go to work right cunningly and se cure it all for God s heritage. ea,venly, 1 haiodono a eood thing.' Thus strangoly reasoning, and thus desperately grasping at salvos for his troubled feelings, tho terror MrieVen Elder reached home, and, without uttcung a syllable of what had happened lo any one, immediate ly betook himself to his solilatj lodgings, not there to find peace and repose, but to wrilhe and turn under lho scqrpion stings of conscience that unescapable hell of tho guilty which retributive Heaven has planted in the bosom of Man for the certain punishment of his crimes. Meanwhile the lovely and conscientious Martha, wholly unapprised of what had befallen her lover, re- 4 tired to her peaceful pillow, and endeavored lo icllect cauniy on tlio now and interesting subject winch her recent interview had opened to her mind; but, finding herself unible to do this from tho thousand crowding thoughts and sensations which contributed to swell tho gcntlo tumult of her bosom, sho discreetly doforicd the task for n cooler moment, nnd, havintr piously com- M mended herself lo the protection of her Maker, yiolded ncrscii to moso quiet and pcacciui slumbers thai con stitute not tho least among the rewards of virluo and innocence On awakening lho nett morning, hor thoughts immediately recurred to theaubject that occu pied her last waking moments ; and, as sho now fig ured in her mind her lover far on his way from tho place, rejoicing in his freedom irom the oppression ho had at length escaped, sho again and again recalled tho tender professions he had made, and ran over the arguments ho had advanced in urging her to leave her present situation, and go forth with hnn into the world as his companion for weal or for wo. Tho more sho thought of the proposed step, at first so startling, tho startling, tho K. i weighed his K! ! to bring up V 1CS3 leariut did il appear, the more sho reasons with those sho found herself able to bring up in refutation, lighter and lichter crew the objection which had caused her to hesitate even in giving him a definite promise of acceding to his request when they should again meet ; and as .her scruples yielded and gavo way, tho unchecked pleadings of her own heart came in and soon decisively turned the already iriclinins balance, leavinc her now free to wander un hesitatingly over the new and bright field of destiny H which had been presenlod to tier view. After indulging in her pleasing reveries as long as inclination prompted, tho maiden arose, dressed and was dh tho point of descending from her chamber to join in perforrninir the domestic duties of tho morninc. .1 when her attention was arrested bv an unusual com- L motion among tlio family below, which she soon asccr- 4,1 . . , . taincd, Irorn borne words that reached through tho par- tially opened door, to ho caused by the discovered ah sencc oi .-30111, mr wuom search had already been ii made, but in vain. The consciousness that within her n own bosom she harbored tho secret of the missing one's ;l absence, which she might not reveal, made her, for tho first time in her life, feel liko a guilty one ; and, dar ing not to go down lest her apnearanco should betray tlio agitation sho felt, sho paused at lho head of the T. m stairs, and stood some time endeavoring to compose H f her feelings and gain a command of her countenance, M M winch should savo hor Irom showing any excitement m that might not bo natural to tho occasion: but. while pa , , ..... . . - . ooing mis, me poor girt was muo dreaming ol the P thousand times mora difficult task in rosorvu for her B that of controlling her feelings under tho heart-crush- j? ing blow which sho was destined the next moment to Pi receive. 1 ho appalling announcement now passed from mouth to rnouth among tho family that Seth was drowned in the jiond, tho evidence of which, in addi tion to his unaccountable absenco, was found 111 the circumstance that his hat had been discovered floatinc H near tho shore, while at a little distance one of his shoes had been espied sunk on tho bottom, fished up and identified. It can better bo imagined than doscribed what wero lho feelings of Martha on hearing these momrnful tid ings. No word or sound, however, escaped her hps on the occasion. She turned deadly pale, indeed, and for a moment leaned her head for support against the door-casing; and this was succeeded by aijuiek heav ing of her bosom, while with clasped hands and closed eyes her trembling lips movod raptdly, as if earnestly engaged in silotii devotion. Hut tha noxt moment, sho opened her eyes, and with a firm step descended irom her room, a spectator could have detocted noth ing more m hor placid though mournful countenance than ho might have seen in the faces of the rest of the. sisterhood, among whom sho now immediately ming led. Most of that day was spent by the Shaker men in dragging the pond in search of the body, fiom which operation Elder Higgtns kept studiously aloof, though the nervous restlossness ho constantly exhibited thro' the day, and tho many anxious and inquiring glances lie iroquentiy casl toward thoso thus ongaged, plainly told that he felt a painful interest in what was going on. Tho search proved a vain one. This, huwew-r, did not lead any one to doubt that tho young man's fate was any different from the one first supjrosod, as the body, it was conjectured, had floated off and sunk in some of the dcopest parts of the pond. Hut, altlio' all woro unanimous in the opinion that Seth had met his death by drowuing, yet, with regard to the riuimer 111 which the casualty could have iupjiened, there were many and various minds : some supposing that he must have waded in to secure something which ho saw nuaung near me snore ; oinets mat 110 had risen 111 hi sleep and gone in, while other considered either of these suppositions to be higjily improbable, since some of the young men now made known 'he fact that the doeoased was an expert swimmer. Those and many other conjectures oqually orrnneous wero formed to spooling the mysterious event, till, wearied with the fruttles discussion, it was given up as a case entirely hopeless of any further elucidation, and therefore per mitted to rest. Seth had been a peculiar favorite with the family generally, and his loas for many days citt a deep gloom over the minds of the llltle community who were thus uriexjx-ctedly called to mourn his premature decease The impression, howeter, like all others of tho kind, U wore gradually away from the minds of all eicopt the bereaved Martha and the conscience-smitten Elder, from whose bosoms the memory of the lost one, ! r n.-ason peculiar to each, was not, as may well be s.,. . jfl W posed, so easily to be erasou I l.l a. . i. . ...I .1. .
