Many years ago, an assembly of Chris tians worsh:ped in our church, and all wero very old. The officers ware white with age. The pastor had reached his eighty-ninth year?a venerable old father in Israel, llic ground where he rests is watohed always by guardian angels. We have not many like him in oar congregation. Years passed, and each in its flight could boast of having seen one or more of those good men gathered to his fathers. At length the great reaper bore away the shock of oorn that stood ripest in Heaven's harvest-held The good ola preacher rested from his labors. The sexton soon followed, and was buried near the gate. He bad long served faithfully, safely passing one after another of his aged brethren into the house of death; and with the burial of the pastor his work accomplished and he laid himself down to sleep at the door. And now the old church was silent. The last words of admonition ha 1 been given;' the last song of praise had gone up to Heaven, and the last prayer had found acceptance at the mercy seat. Silent, all silent! At the head of the grave-yard was buried tht pastor, as he was still watohing his flock Directly in front was the chorister; and in a semi-oirole around him was the officera* The remaining portion of the ground was oooupied by graves oorreeponding with the form ob served in the arrangement of the pews in the church. '?The graveyard was adorned with a quiet beauty. Willows were bending around the plaoe, and flowers blossomed on every grave A clear stream, from an unfailing spring, ran near the graves, gently murmuring; and pinks and violets bloomed in rich profusion along the path that led from gate to gate. There was a holy worship there. Choirs of birds sung praise, and every bud and bloss?m-alt?r daily sent up its morning incense. It was the Srayer of the flowers, breathed silently to leaven, and the answer came in the suniight and the dew. "Well, there slept that congregation, year after year; and the tomb-stone* began to lean forward like old men, and the inscriptions upon them grew dim, as eye-sight fails. The leer that stood near the gate bad silencly rotted down upon the ground, and rank grass had entwined a shroud for its covering, ihe sexton's spade was rusting beside his grave; the graveyard had itself grown old; but still there sparkled the brook, emblem of the eter nal stream. The flowers grew old and died in the fall, repeating the story of those who slept beneath them; and they came forth in new beauty in the spring, silently speaking a? they lifted their buds and blossoms toward Heaven, of a glorious resurrection. '?The graveyard was still growing old, and so was the church. All within was left a.* when the last sermon was preached, for the good villagers feared to disturb the quiet at the old edifice. The bell was rusting in the tower; the pulpit leaned to one side, and ?tottered to its fall;' the pews were decaying, the cushion* were rotting. Silently as the fall of autumn leaves, the glory of the inner temple waa de parting. The Bible was upon the dusty pul pit desk: that was undiaturbed by Time. A record for Eternity, there was no decay among its precious leaves. It was the soul of the old church; and like him who once taught from his sacred pages, it remained unimpaired amidst the ruin of the tabernacle. "Think of this silence for half a century! Fifty years of dumb time! At meruing? mid-day?evening; spring, autumn, summer, winter; silent?all silent! I recollect it one still moonlight night, about the middle of June, many years ago; very late, when every stir and sound of moving life was quieted. The still moon bathed the old church tower and the grave-yard in a flood of dreamy light. Beautiful, very beau tiful A kind of solemn gladness reigned among the tombs. Every tiny grass blade had clad itself in a moon-beam, and stoo; adorned with a diamond. The rays were busy in beautifying the grave-yard, and each flower slept with its closed leaves sealed with a dew drop, like a child slumbering with a tear just resting on the fringe of its eyelids. The stream, as it rippled along, was all of gleam ing silver. One could plainly read the in scriptions on the tomb-stones, the night was eo brignt. How much of a Sabbath there is among the graves in a still monlight night! How calm?how holy!" The very spirit of solemn silence and re pose 8eems to breathe over this scene, si graphically is it depioted. Napoleos the Third.?A writer in the London Economist sums up a very able article on .Napoleon III. as follows: '?The same man who landed at Boulogne in 1840, with a single steamer and a few friends, on a desperate and abortive expedition, re visits it in 1854 to review a vast army and re ceive the homage of countless spectators. The sume man, who, six years ago, lived in obscu rity in London, scarcely able to pay his tailor's and quite unable to pay his horse-dealer s bill?whom many looked upon as stupid, and whom none looked upon as wise?of whom few augured well, and whom few would trust much?we have just seen receiving the visits and compliments of the consort of our Queen, entertaining three royal guests at his table one of them the son in-law of the very mon arch whom he had succeeded?and admitted beyond all denial into tbe social oircle of royal personages. Nor is this change in his singular fortunes the only one, nor perhaps the greatest. We can imagine him smiling with oven a more grim satisfactien as he con trasts the language of the English press re garding him in 1352 and now; sitting wi h the limes or the Examiner of December, 1351, or of August, 1854, before him?and marvelling at the metamorphosis?the unmeasured abuse which was showered upon him at the former date, and the decorous respect and cordial praise with which he is spoken of nqw The ?seedy swell' and the 'sanguinary and auda cious ruffian1 is now the polite and sagacious Emperor, and takes wine tete-a-tete with l'rince Albert and King Leopold." The Cellar-dom of Hew York. Nothing strikes a stranger more vividly on his entrance into New York than the broad and startling contrasts. There is such a pro digious diversity between its different portions and its different people, that he might well wonder how they all belonged to one commu nity. He passes up the great artery of our metropolis?perhaps the moet brilliant street in the civilized world. The children of luxury and rank roll by him in the varied tints of the rainbow. Well-housed, well-fed, well eduoated, and well provided, as they are, they do not know what it is to suffer laok of any thing needful to their comfort. They walk life's sunny side in silver slippers." To many of them existence is as merry as a mar riage bell. But let that Btranger turn suddenly out of that magnificent street when he gets abreast of that tcorld-knoton region of wretchedness, tht" Five-Points.1' The whole view changes in an instant! He has entered a new world He has gone apparently a score of leagues so wide is the contrast between the'clean' and the unclean.' The street into which he has turned takes him down at one swift de scent through a dozen distinct layers of so ciety. Every grade of existence, as he ad vanoes, becomes darker, filthier, fouler, and more degraded, until he reaches the very dregs. Sickening odors come up from open cellars. Startling oaths ria^^^yjjomsubter ranean dens. Children ea their brews?children ant piles of rags?children that new beard a mother pray, but only nrear-the children that will yet occupy the prisons, poor-houses and brothels. (onleM reseued in time*) are thronging the filthy sidewalks. Let as follow that stranger on hit tour of exploration into some one of the rotting rookeries" that over hang the pavement As we eater, the broken door hangs by a tingle hinge. We grope up rickety stairways, amid ttrange toonds and suflinff odors. We open one of the doort behind which oaths and wild lonci are rinr mg, and, at first sight, it seems as if a hat of Zealand savages has been revealed to as ?or that a cage of wild animals has been ?i?KDe^bj KrerysqaareToot of the filthy floor has somfr ooeupant Upon it are stretched the wretched in their rags, and the drunken in their debauohes. The old and the young, the blaok and the white, the sick and the sinning, all herd together as in a promis cuous sty.

EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: W2DTC8DAY AFTEBNOOH.... October 18. a?? Persons wanting the Evening Star in Baltimore, can procure it early every after noon at Henry Taylor's Newspaper Depot, Sun Iron Buildings.'^ SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Intelligencer discusses the confidence which the Seath should place in Northern Whiggery and Democracy, insisting that those who resolved that the repeal of the Missouri compromise has absolved the North from the obligation to admit more slave States into the Union, are joat as sound on the slavery ques tion as thoce resolving that they would not have repealed the Missouri compromise, never theless urge acquiesence in that action as pru dent and patriotic. fa the tkurse of the ar ticle In question, the editor lets off a good shot in insisting that the Democratic platforms in these times are made after the fashion of the signboards, which have a different reading aocording to the position of the paseer-by. The joke is capital, truthful, and applies with equal force to all. politioal platforms of the times. Tfcty are but gull traps, designed each to oatoh more votes than the others. For the position of the New York Hards our venerable neighbor appears to have supreme contempt ?for the men "who praise a'principle' but denounce its authors and patron The Union insists that "the day on which a Lai ted North shall refuse admission to a new State upon the ground that its constitu* tion recognises Blavery, will be the last day of the confederacy." The organ also explains that the democracy only have breasted what It characterises as the storm of sectionalism, bigotry, fanaticism and illiborality brought about by the Union of the Northern Whig party with the Abolitionists and Know Noth ings. The Union also quotes the Boston Courier (whig) upon the recent Massachusetts Know Nothing nominations, as follows: "A glance at their nominations, so far as they are reported to have been made, will show at once to any one who has a mind to direct his eyes towards them, that alolitioni m, and abolitionism alone, has had the control of all the nominating power of this sham-native American organization, and, also, that the abolitionists whom it is attemptecfio foist inta public consequence under the protecting regis of know-nothingism are as contemptible In talent and in political standing as they are dishonest with regard to the platform which they are dishonest with regard to the platform which they have so eagerly pressed forward to occupy."

"j very one of the candidates who has been knoWn before as a politician has boon known as an anti-slavery man, and it may be safe to say of the whole body of the nominees of the new party, that they are rancorous, ultra, aud un mitigated abolitionists. If any one of them has at anytime within half-a-dosen years been connected, politically, with any other party than an anti-slavery party, we should like to know it. The free-soil party has sent out to the voters of Massachusetts its own candidates for Congress, in the guise of 'know-nothings.'" and with only the frail covering in which new converts to any faith are apt to clothe them selves U> conceal their former character from the world. We never had any particular favor for the politicians of this uneasy and fanatical sect, and respect for its members of will not be augmented by the fact that they are now endeavoring to palm off upon the poeple their second-hand dilapidated politicians as mem bers of a new and a fresh party."

There are 14?. members yet to be elooted from twenty States an equal number (74) to be chosen from the slaveholding, as from the non-slaveholding State. EFThe Sew York Tribune argues that the southaro^fcigs of Congress who supported the Nebraska bill and thus abandoned the Whig party, are responsible for the fusion of the northern Whig party with the Abolitionists, and pleads that such a course was rendered necessary to withstand the "aggr^sions of the slave power," and all that s->rt of thing.

Presidential Candidate*.?The late elec tions bid fair greatly to complicate the next Presidential contest. We find all those around who, a week or so ago, were very sure of tiie election of this or that distinguished gen tleman, completely dumbfounded at the utter ?tate of uncertSTnty into which the fall elec tions, so far, have cast every thing of the sort. It strikes us that the Democratic party are to be congratulated on one effect which these elections have already had: this is, on the in stantaneous check they have put upon the du position of gentlemen taoked each to the coat tail of some particular Democratic aspirant, to labor to get bim the nomination, rather than in the cause of the principles they pro fess. Not long since most of the Democrats seemed to be Buchanan men, or Douglas men, or Hunter men, or devoted to the fortune* of some other leading man; now, however, ever, all who have not left the party and turned I Know Nothings, to be on the apparently strong-1 est side, seem to be content to be Democrats, anxious only for the selection of the strongest I possible candidate to bear aloft the Demo* cratic banner. Nevertheless, there will be a I tremendous struggle for the Demoeratio na- I tional nomination. As General Cass is under stood to have laid aside all pretensions, his very I large force of Democratic politicians arc un-1 derstood to have divided between Messrs. I Buchanan and Douglas?the former being un-1 derstood to be fairly in the field. Mr. Buch-1 anan falls heir to most of the Cass politicians east of Ohio, while Mr. Douglas gets those I from the Western States. General Cass had! none worth mentioning in States south of Maryland. These elections have already raised up I strong parties of "strikers" for various dis-1 tinguished Whigs, Mr. Clayton, Mr. Fillmore, and Gov. Seward, each being spoken of as the] man to bear aloft the Fusion banner. That is, I those who sympathise with the idea of a purely Northern party to embrace the Whig party or I the North, Abolitionism, Know Nothingism, I and the Maine Liquor law, are unanimously J Sewardite?; while those who are for fighting I the battle on Whiggery and Know Nothingism I only combined, are for Mr. Fillmore or Mr. Clayton. The Southern Know Nothings take I particularly to Mr. Fillmore, while those of the North (out of New York,) who, being W higs, are yet not Abolitionists, are for I Mr Clayton, owing to the well understood bitter hostility which all the higher law wing of the Whig party bear to the distinguished ex-President, that wing of the party out-num-1 bering the other ten to one in all the non-1 Blaveholding States. It strikes us, however, that it is much too soon for rational men to bo I making any calculations on the subject. The j only thing appearing clear to us, is that the next President of the United States is to be elected by the House of Representative, and J that he is to be the man fbr whom the South J will vote in a body, as they certainly will for I some one, who will then require but few more I votes to be eleoted; which said votes are ob-1 Uinable, as against any candidate identified with the purposes of Abolitionism. Business before the Pension Bureau, Ac. The business of the Pension Office has been kept up to date for the last nine months. All J letters are now answered the day after they J are roceivod and registered, except when they relate to cases that require a thorough exam-1 ination. In some instances the examinations I require that information should be obtained I from other bureaus, in which oases delays are I unavoidable. These delays, however, are ex-1 ceptions to the general rule. For instance, all applications for land bounty have to bo I sent by the Pension Office to the Third Au-1 ditor, the Second Auditor, or the Adjutant! General, for a verification of the servioe claim ed by the applicant, and are returned with the I proper certificate. These applications are now made at the rate of about rorty a day; I and such is the promptitudo with which they I are disposed of, that not more than one hun dred and fifty cases are now on hand, includ- I ing those that are sent to the rolls for the purpose aforesaid. The conscquonce is, that J the business with the Pension Bureau that used to be done by agents residing in the city of Washington, is now done almost entirely by J the parties interested, or by persons residing near them. This causes some complaint on the part of agents located here, that there is noth ing doing in the Pension Office But we opine the Commissioner's annual report will show! that there has been no lack of business during the last year. We shall be disappointed if it I does not appear that more than three thousand revolutionary claims have been favorably ad-1 judicated, and more than half a million of dollars distributed on account of revolutionary services, besides the annual current pensions J to those that are upon the pension list. When the correspondence of the office was six months in arrears, this business was chiefly done by I agents resident in this city, who were paid from twenty to fifty per cent for their services, but which they now lose on account of the prompt manner in which correspondents from a distance are answered by the bureau. Our friends, the agents, may therefore have cause of complaint but the community will not I sympathise with them so long as they receive what the agents lose. Indeed, during the last year or two, so general has been the improve ment in the manner of transacting business I here in all the branches of the Executive offi- I cec, as to greatly reduce the business of all those genRemen who have been employed in the settlement of the affairs of clients with the J Government, until agent*, who four years ago were making from $3,000 to $5,000 per annum, are complaining that they oannot now realise more than one hundred dollars per month from their profession Progress of the Mexican Boundary Com mission ?We understand that letters have been received from Mr. Charles Radziminski, the secretary of the Commissioner, dated atl Powder Horn, near Indianola, Texas, October 2d. Major Emory, the Commissioner, left that station on the 30th September, en route for the theatre of his operation, taking with him all the members of his party, except some who were sick, and Mr. Radziminski, who remained to take charge of the wagons, the sehooner conveying which was coming in sight as he wrote. He expected to follow after the Com missioner the next day. From the acknowl edged ability a ad energy of Major Emory, and the chief officers assisting him, we look for ward to an early and successful completion of the extensive, laborious, and hazardous field operations, connected with this important sur-1 viy.

Mott, Esq., the newly elected Canal Commissioner, who received such a heavy Know-Nothing vote, has jast replied to a letter of several friends, in which he dis avows any connection or sympathy whatever with the order, and declares that ho belongs to but one party?and that the Democratic party. Previous to the election he made pub lie a similar statement The fact that Mr Darsie, his whig opponent, is an adopted citi xen, probably had something to do with the result. During the evening of Monday he re ceived a large number of his friends at the Merchant's Hotel, Philadelphia, when a Jack son meial was presented him in the name of the Democracy of Philadelphia, by Chas. W. Carrigan, Esq., in a few eloquent and perti nert remarks, and was received by Mr. Mott in a neat speech. We learn from a letter to the editor of the Home Journal, written by the Hon. The odore Fay, United States Minister in Switzer land, that he has asked leave to visit New York in the ensuing spring. Mr. Fay has been abroad in a diplomatic oapacity nearly twen ty years. The New York Mirror says: Among the Bailie's passengers was Prince John, of Lindenwald, hale as a buok The Van Burens are bound to have a finger in the November electoral pie." The New York papers state that one of the escaped seamen of the Arctio shipped on board the Atlantio on Saturday. Just as the steamer was about to sail, he was discovered by Captain West, who took him by the collar and marched him ashore, saying that he wished no such men to go to sea with him. ihis is as it should be. They should be marked like Cain, and shunned by all honor able men. Not a woman or ohild saved!" should haunt them to their dying day. Gavazzi's paper, the Crusader, in dis cussing the nativity of Mr. Ullman, the Know Nothing candidate for Governor of New York says: ''The candidate of the Know Nothings, f-,r Governor of this State, is a native of Dela ware state, the smallest commonwealth in the Lnion, but the strongest in American princi ples. As we happen ourselves to be half Dela warian, in recommending Mr. Ullmann we commend a man with whom we have been ac quainted a series of years, and whose ancestry !?n?nf tb? m8t honorable and patriotic reputa tion. Mr. Ullmann's grandfather was con cerned in one of the first loans made to this country (the famous Hortales 0,000 men, including a fair proportion of cavalry The battle commenced at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and at 3 o'clock the Russian position was carried by the bayonet Marshal ot. Arnaud and Lord Raglan commanded per sonally. Three English steamers protected the passage of the Alma from the sea. Gen Thomasnon (French) was shot in the abdomen, supposed fatally; and General Canrobert was wounded in the shoulder. Secohd Defeat of the RtrssiAxs.?From the small number of guns or prisoners taken by the allies at the Alma, on the 2 let, we in fer that their (the allies') suoeess amounted to no more than driving the Russians from their position on the heights. At all events, Prince Mensohikoff had managed again to bring his forces into order, and on the 23d of Septem ber, he gave battle to the advancing forces in ac plaiM of Kalantai' on the river Kateha. After a sanguinary engagement, whioh lasted some hours, the Russians were totally defeated and pursued to their entrenchments before oebastopol. Here they appear to have made a third stand, and to have again offered battle to the invaders. Thk News of th* Victort.?When the news reached Constantinople, it was ordered thart the city should be illuminated for ten suo cessive days! Marseilles was illuminated when the news was brought to that port. On reaching Boulogne, the dispatch was convey ed at once to .the Emperor, who was engaged in reviewing the troops. He hastily perused the cypher, then turned to his generals and said, quietly, "Sevastopol est prise!" The announcement was received with cheers, and was briefly communicated by the Emperor to the army, lie said, "this news was probable. 1 have now the happiness to announoe it to y?* myself, and at the moment I speak, I hate little doubt that the flags of the allied armies are floating on the walls of Sevastopol At Liverpool, Manchester, and bthor cities, the news was welcomed by the ringing of the chf rch bells, and by the display of flags. At London, the Lord Mayor and the civic authori ties shortly before 10 o'cloek, on the evening of Saturday, Sept. 30, procoeded to the Royal Lxchange to proolaim the victory of Alma. Frahce and England Demand Explana tions from the United Statbs ?The Paris correspondent of the usually well-informed Independance Beige, under date September 12, says: There is an on dit here respecting a joint note sent by France and England to the Cab inet of Washington^ requiring explanation of\ th$ engagement entered into between the.

The New Orleans papers, by a late arrival, have Texas papers jf the 8th inst. The yellow fever was stiU prevailing at Gal veston. Col. T.J. Allen, one of the proprietors of I the Journal, died of yellow fever in Galveston on the 7th. There seems to be an abatement in the fever at Houston. The Telegraph, of the 7th inst says: There were but four deaths in all from this i disease on Wednesday and Thursday, and we nave heard of none since up to the hour of going to press. Mr. Charles Merlin, an old resident of Hous ton, formerly keeper of the Alabama House, in that city, was found dead in his bed on the morning of the 6th inst. We learn, from the Telegraph that the weather was remarkably fine at Houston, the nights almost cool enough for frost. The same paper has the following: Major Emory was daily expeoted at San Antonio, at last, dates, en route to the Maeilla valley.

A Res*.?One of our Secretaries of State for the United State*, struck out a good mode of getting rid of an intmder in a parti cular ease It appears that the doorkeeper of the Secretary's office was remarkably oblig ing, which proved quite the thing for a rabid officer seeker, who managed to get in every day and pother the Secretary. When the ar noyanee had continued three or four days, the Secretary stepped up one morning to the door keeper and asked if he knew what that man came after daily. "Yea replied the functionary, "an office I suppose." ?'True, but do you knuw what office "No." r-t "Well, then, I'll tell you; he wants your pi ?c6,n.,: The next morning the scene between the office-seeker and the polite door keeper is said to have been rich; from the peculiar manner in which the intruder wa^ informed "the Se cretary is not at home." The new Spanish government haeiB?ned a oiroular to the Roman Catholic bishops of that country, in which it speaks to them as followa: "Let the reverend bishops freely fulfil one of the most undeniable duties imposed upon them by their high'trust, which is that of ad dressing pasforalB and exhortations to the faith fa!, whoeespiritual care is committed to them; bat let them limit themselves to the teaching of Christian doctrine and morality, taking care, very specially. not to mention, nor even ta allude, directly or indirectly, to books, pamphlet*, or newspapers; a* well to avoid injuring the reputation of writers, ae to pre vent sinister interpretations of the intentions of the prelates themselves, which can be only benignant and pacific, because they exercise a ministry wholly of peace and meekness."

The ordinary call is "knee deep," bot it not unfrequently happens that half shin" or "quarter less calf." is sung out then it is deemed proper to work the engines slow Wbolbsalk AIcrdbk and Suicide ?By the late foreign arrivals, we have, the following sanguinary item from Italy: A military man was in love with a young lady, whom he eouid not obtain in marriage. Incensed at her refusal. he resolved on ven geance. Arming himself with four revolver*, he ispairsd to the mansion of the cruel fair one. The first person that appeared was her mother?he Bhot her; the next was her father ?he shot him; then came the young lady herself? he shot her; then came the uncle and annt?he shot them?and then he shot himself Tn Eras.?-There is a popular notion, sano tioaed even by medical men, that the eyes are preserved by opening them every morn ing in a basin of cold water. Some of the worst cases of petergium or film on the surface of the eye, have been witnessed on those who have boaeted of this practice. When water gets Into the windpipe, the nostrils, or the ear, irritation is produced; and when the eyes open under water, the sensation is anything but agreeable. The eye is lubricated by a secretion admirably adapted to facilitate the motions of the iid over its surface; and as this secretion is partially soluble in water, it i? as inconsistent to wash it away as it is to remove the oil from the wheels of machinery.
