Upon examination of tho subject it was ascertained that thoro aro now on Sullivan's Island buildings belong ing to tho government, which may be used as quarters for tho troops.

Low water in tho Ohio river hus provontcd the transportation I of much of tho coal usually brought from the coal regions of that valley, and has caused a great, inerenso in tho demands made in the southern mmes, which aro being worked to their full oapnoity.

Soorctnry Smith suya that Aloxnn .dor Hamilton and Thomas Jiftorson favored the ratio of 15 to 1 a eoutury tigq, boo niuo it was then tho commer cial ratio. Ho says ho aproes with them-that is, ho favors tho present commercial ratio, which he afterwards, in t rtVot, tays i? 82 to 1. If ho had not stated how ignorant he was three I years ago, tho man of nvoni?o intclli j genoe would lmv.) thought him uneiin did, for tho man of average iutelli gonoo knows that about Af tuon to ono waa tho ratio when gold and silver were treated alike, and that tho ratio I of t hirty to ono lum prevailed only sinoo tries h a vi np; nearly two-thirds of to coin.'of tho world"'li riv o Stopped tho i roo coinage of silver and continued tho coinage of gold. .

While only tho males wereconiinnnded to at tend the hmslrt (lix. xxiii.. 17) it would sonm that wennon also went to tho roast of the pas sover (I Sam. I.,7). When wo cometo a pas sover slorv, it is always well lothlnk of tho safely of those who ero under tho bloo l and tho fellowship of- these who obediently fend upon tho f.nmb. Salvation depends upon the blood ?lone, but fellowship and groiVth dopend upon oar entine; Him continually wy whose blond wo ure redeemed, His own ?OS? llmonv is, "Ho (hat opt nth Me, o von ho shall live by Mo" (.lohn vi., 57). 42. "And when He was twolvo yours old, they went ur. to Jorusnlem ofter tho custom of tho 'feast." Wo weald like to know H's thouvhts ooiieornlng this, His ll cst visit to the Holy Alfy. Wo may Imagino (lint ns Ho wns not taken up with seeing tho city whoa He gol thoro, so Ho was not overmuch ooou plpd with nights ulong tho way.

"And whoa thoy had f ni Ulled Ibo days, ns they roi ll med the child JOSHS tarried be hind in Jorusnlem, nnd Joseph nnd His mother know not of it." Jerusalem ls called Ibo Holv City, nnd tho City ot tho Groat King (Math.

"But thoy, supposing Him to havobcou in tho company, went ii day's journey." Sup posing mid wondering uro not the ronds to pence and assurance and aro apt to cause us ninny sorrows.

"And when llioy found Him not, thoy tiirnod hack again to Jerusalem, seeking Ililli." Any ono who has over hail a child stray away for a J niger or shorter timo eau sympathize somewhat with Mary in this ox perienco. Did they confess to God their llOgllgen.CO and ask Him to guide them? Did they rotnombor Ps. xxxlt., 8; fan. xxx., 21, nmi Ps. 1., 15? Perhaps they will toll us about it some dav. 40. "An I it came to puss that after thron days they found Him in the tomplo."

To Joseph and Mary ono hour's neglect hud brought Ihreo days'anxioty. To many au hour's liogloot has often brought a lifelong sorrow. To neglect tho soul's welfare will bring ntornnl sorrow.

"Son. why bast Thou thus dealt with us? Behold, Thy father and I havo sought Theo sorrowing." Tills was His mother's grootlite, af t?t' the three days' search.
