Cotton Seed.—Among the
happy results of the late war in the United
States must be enumerated the development
and resources of the Southern Slates. This
appears in the use now made of cotton seed,
which in the days of slavery was accounted
utterly valueless. By machinery which has
been invented, the exterior coating of the
seed is removed. The oil is then extracted,
and proves to be of a most excellent quality,
and may be employed for all purposes—for
the toilet of a lady to the lubricating of heavy
machinery. One report says that it equals
olive oil for culinary purposes. It may be
mixed with other oils, and forms a good substance for light. It may be obtained in great
abundance, at the ratio of one barrel to every
four bales of cotton. Estimating the cotton
crop at 4,000,000 bales, then 1,000,000 barrels of oil may be produced. Large quantities are now shipped to the New York and
other markets. There is quite satisfactory
reason why whale oil should be reduced in
price.

Successful Trip of the Annie.—This
little vessel of seventy tons took the place of
the lost Morning Star. She left for Ascension in July, and returned on the 27th of
October. The Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Bingham,
Rev. Mr. Mahoe, wife and four children,
and the widow of Mr. Kaelemakule, late
missionary on Namarik, came as passengers.
Joseph, a Gilbert Islander, came up to assist
Mr. Bingham in the translation of the New
Testament and other books. The Annie
during her cruise visited several islands of
the Gilbert and Marshall groups, where there
are missionary stations, and found the work
of the missionaries very prosperous and
hopeful. The visit of the Jamestown exerted a happy influence in promoting peace
among the islanders. Mr. Bingham still

THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GHIZEH.
There are many pyramids in Egypt, but
there is only one that merits consideration.
This Pyramid of Ghizeh is the highestof nil,
being 479 feet in height, stnnding upon a
base 767 feet square, covering thirteen
acres ! It is situated a few miles above
Cairo, on the west bunk of the Nile. This
is the pyramid usually visited by tourists,
and the only one really worthy of examination. It was our privilege to ascend it, and
also to penetrate to its inmost recess ; but as
descriptions of the numerous visitors are so
frequently published, we shall spare our
readers. We cannot, however, refrain from
alluding to the question which has taxed the
energies of so many learned and gifted men:
For what was this pyramid built? Was it
merely for a tomb of an ancient king of
Egypt ? Was it for astronomical purposes ?
Why was it built? That is the question,
and a very difficult question.
Sir John Herschel saw in it only an observatory to indicate the position of the North
or Polar star. Strange to say, that star,
2,000 years B. C, stood in such a position
in the heavens that it might be seen by a
person who had penetrated to the centre of
the pyramid, and would look through a tube
342 feet long ! Under these circumstances,
it could be seen at midday. Astronomers
tell us that this star will not occupy that exact position again until a cycle of 26,000
years shall be completed.
Within a few years, Prof. Smyth, Astronomer Royal of Scotland, has published a
volume, entitled, " Our inheritance in the
Great Pyramid." In this volume he has
gone into a vast amount of calculations respecting this pyramid, and among others, he
calculates "that a certain hollow, empty,

He promptly declined to
retire from the missionary field, preferring to
remain at Beirut rather than accept ol one
of the most honored posts in the gift of the

The command is "go," not "return." Instead of recnlling u missionary, the greut

The Petrified Fern.
In a valley, centuries ago.
Grew a little fern leaf, green and slender—
Veining delicate, aud fibres tender—
Waving, when the wind crept'down so low;
Hushes tall, and moss, nnd gross grew round it,
Playful sanbeams darted in and found it.
Drops of dew stole in, by night, and crowued it,
But do foot of man e'er trod that way;
Earth was young, and keeping holiday.
Monster fishes swam the silent main,
Stately forests wared their giant branches.
Mountains hurled their snowy avalanches,
Mammoth creatures stalked across the plain
Nature revelled in grand mysteries.
But the little fern was not of these.

thinks, perhaps, thut this is because everything in nature crosses his wishes und plans.
But it is because he has undertaken to cross
the plans and wishes of the God of nature.
And this is the reason why a cross man is
not successful, and is not happy. He acknowledges that he is not. He is growling
about it nil the time. He is an illustration,
in the very etymology of his name, that the
way of the transfrresmr is hard; that the

A CROSS WAY IS A HARD WAV.
This is, indeed, one of those cases where
the old derivation or etymology of the words
is still a guide as to the truth which they
convey. A transgressor is one who goes
across the ways and boundaries which God
has appointed. The word is a Latin word,
which expresses the same idea as our English word " tres-passer." The transgressor
or trespasser is a man with a passion for
short cuts ; constantly flattering himself that
he sees better paths for his purposes than
God's paths, better ways than God's ways.
Leaving God's ways, therefore, to try his
own experiments, he is engaged at once in
stepping over and into other people's furrows ; he loses time and patience at brooks,
where he walks up and down in soggy meadows, trying to find easy places to jump
across, because there is no bridge ; he misses
his spring when the jumping moment comes,
because the tuft of grass is insecure from
which he leaps ; lie wades out upon the mud
on his hands and feet, recovering from his
fall as well as he may; and yet he must
plunge on in this same cross-cut of his own
surveying, partly from a pride which will
not give up, partly from a mistaken feeling
that it will be just as hard to go back over a
route which has proved so unsatisfactory.
The whole difficulty, perhaps, is expressed
in the syllable trans of transgressor," or in
**)* tres of trespasser,"" which mean

own

a cruel, fanatic, determined race ; and she
inherits its force and decision. She marries
a weak husband, fond of luxury, fond of
peace. Because he is fond of peace, he has
married the daughter of his strongest neighbor. Because he is fond of luxury, he is
willing to introduce at his court all the magnificence of her father's. She travels in
pomp to her new home, and takes with her
a thousand ecclesiastics—priests and preachers,—who are to sustain the gorgeous ritual
to which she is used since her childhood.
Whoever insults one of these insults her.
Whoever insults her payS penalty with his
life. Her husband, like Macbeth, is slow to
take on himself the prompt murders and attendant crimes of her ambition. Little she
recks ; she will use his signet, she will give
his orders, she will hersell send her own enemies out of her way. He comes home one
day, complaining, like. David, that he cannot
obtain such a piece of land to add to the palace grounds. •« Are you king, or not ? "
says the proud woman. And she herself
writes the false accusation of the unhappy
land-owner; she charges him falsely with
blasphemy, punishable by death; she fixes
the king's seal to the accusation ; and, when
the poor wretch is killed, she comes in triumph to the king, who hud just a shade of
conscience ; she bids him take the coveted
garden for his own. Meanwhile, through

meanest drunkard, wishing- to abuse the
scold who has sunk lower than himself,
takes that same name to revile her. Even
the innocent child lisping its catechism, and
asked who is the worst woman who ever
lived, answers, "Jezebel."
Take such a transgressor ns she,—a transgressor, all whose ways were made as easy
as rank and gold and a woman's will could
make them ; as easy to the last as triumph
could ma ko them. I say nothing of the close
of thut life. I say nothing of the result to
which those ways led her. I speak of the
ways themselves. Is it not, on any conception of the story, clear, that they must have
been hard ways all along ? These devilish
intrigues, these murders of the innocent, this
scorn for her husband, this shifting of her
lovers, these state-craft ingenuities; even
the pride of place, even the pomp of retinue,
even the low, sensual enjoyment of the table,
which is the enjoyment she shares with the
pig, or the condor, or the boa constrictor,—is
there, in such a life of fierce passion, of
steady transgression, is there any hope, even
for enjoyment, in it all ? It is clear that, in
the meanest hovel on the plain of Esdrael,
the simplest woman who loved her husband
and her children, und tried not to cross over
the ways her God had appointed, found more
in life than did the queen. That woman
lived more, carried out her own real wishes
more, succeeded more, even enjoyed more,
her ways were more smooth, her journey
more successful, than the most triumphant
ways of the crowned transgressor.

The regular meeting of the Association for October took place at the Reading
Room on Friday evening, the 28th ult. The
attendance was rather thin, owing doubtless
to the stormy weather. Minutes read and
committees reported. The main business of
the evening was the discussion of the report
of the Reading Room Committee on the list
of papers and periodicals to be taken for the
Reading Room during the coming twelve
months, which passed with several amendments. Some new and interesting papers
will be added to the list, and one or two of
the old ones be dropped off.

Cotton Seed.—Among the
happy results of the late war in the United
States must be enumerated the development
and resources of the Southern Slates. This
appears in the use now made of cotton seed,
which in the days of slavery was accounted
utterly valueless. By machinery which has
been invented, the exterior coating of the
seed is removed. The oil is then extracted,
and proves to be of a most excellent quality,
and may be employed for all purposes—for
the toilet of a lady to the lubricating of heavy
machinery. One report says that it equals
olive oil for culinary purposes. It may be
mixed with other oils, and forms a good substance for light. It may be obtained in great
abundance, at the ratio of one barrel to every
four bales of cotton. Estimating the cotton
crop at 4,000,000 bales, then 1,000,000 barrels of oil may be produced. Large quantities are now shipped to the New York and
other markets. There is quite satisfactory
reason why whale oil should be reduced in
price.

Successful Trip of the Annie.—This
little vessel of seventy tons took the place of
the lost Morning Star. She left for Ascension in July, and returned on the 27th of
October. The Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Bingham,
Rev. Mr. Mahoe, wife and four children,
and the widow of Mr. Kaelemakule, late
missionary on Namarik, came as passengers.
Joseph, a Gilbert Islander, came up to assist
Mr. Bingham in the translation of the New
Testament and other books. The Annie
during her cruise visited several islands of
the Gilbert and Marshall groups, where there
are missionary stations, and found the work
of the missionaries very prosperous and
hopeful. The visit of the Jamestown exerted a happy influence in promoting peace
among the islanders. Mr. Bingham still
calls for additional missionaries, and sixteen

evangelization on the Gilbert-Islands.

THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GHIZEH.
There are many pyramids in Egypt, but
there is only one that merits consideration.
This Pyramid of Ghizeh is the highestof nil,
being 479 feet in height, stnnding upon a
base 767 feet square, covering thirteen
acres ! It is situated a few miles above
Cairo, on the west bunk of the Nile. This
is the pyramid usually visited by tourists,
and the only one really worthy of examination. It was our privilege to ascend it, and
also to penetrate to its inmost recess ; but as
descriptions of the numerous visitors are so
frequently published, we shall spare our
readers. We cannot, however, refrain from
alluding to the question which has taxed the
energies of so many learned and gifted men:
For what was this pyramid built? Was it
merely for a tomb of an ancient king of
Egypt ? Was it for astronomical purposes ?
Why was it built? That is the question,
and a very difficult question.
Sir John Herschel saw in it only an observatory to indicate the position of the North
or Polar star. Strange to say, that star,
2,000 years B. C, stood in such a position
in the heavens that it might be seen by a
person who had penetrated to the centre of
the pyramid, and would look through a tube
342 feet long ! Under these circumstances,
it could be seen at midday. Astronomers
tell us that this star will not occupy that exact position again until a cycle of 26,000
years shall be completed.
Within a few years, Prof. Smyth, Astronomer Royal of Scotland, has published a
volume, entitled, " Our inheritance in the
Great Pyramid." In this volume he has
gone into a vast amount of calculations respecting this pyramid, and among others, he
calculates "that a certain hollow, empty,

"Dr. Van Dyck, one of the American
missionaries at Beirut, Syria, has established
a dispensary especislly for diseases of the
eye. Its cost for (he year is $1,600, and the
number ofpatients treated is 1,800."— Eng-
lish paper.
Our readers will notice that the physician
referred to in the above paragraph from a
late English paper, is the same gentleman as
they will find noticed in the sketch which
wo hnve given of "our" visit to Beirut.
He is not only an eminent physician, but is
also deeply versed in the Arabic vr.rnnciilar,
and has completed —as we have remarked
the translation of the Bible commenced by
the Rev. Eli Smith. It was our privilege
to visit his ho<pitnl and dispensary. He is
also a practical printer, and in nddition, has
actually been engaged in casting a " font"
of types in the Arabic language. Strange as
it may appear, so much superior were the
types cast at ihc extemporized type J'onndrg (which we saw in active operation) of
the American missionaries nt Beirut, that
about the time of our visit, no order was received for a font" of Arabic type from Berlin, in Prussia. The labors of such men as
those American missionaries at Beirut are
an honor to any country or age. One of
them, the Rev. Dr. Jessup, has recently been
invited to return to the United States to become Secrclary of the Presbyterian Board of
—
"
He promptly declined to
retire from the missionary field, preferring to
remain at Beirut rather than accept ol one
of the most honored posts in the gift of the
church. Most heartily do we approve of his
decision. The idea of inviting a foreign missionary to a position at homeappears absurd.
The command is "go," not "return." Instead of recnlling u missionary, the greut
Presbyterian Church should send abroad a
hundred.
Hard
Case.—Writers upholding thecoolie
should affix their names to their editorials and communications, for it is rather
hard that they should speak in the name of
the community, and thus leave readers
abroad to infer that the community at large
on the Sandwich Islands approves of the
coolio traffic. See San Francisco papers,

ought to be sufficient.

These are suddenly laid aside, and the little
rreaHire passes into ti new form of being,and
in the shape of a worm, commences its work
of destruction. New books are its special
object of attack. Old Doctor Samuel Johnson said lie never rend a book through in his
life, although he wus the author of the good
English dictionary and the lives of the pools,
yet this little worm will go through a book,
from title page to fin in, in one night. They
do not wait until the books are stowed away
in the garret and are covered with cobwebsand dust, but attack new books ; the newer
the better. They have not the least resjiect
for the celebrated Brooklyn divine. A new
presentation volume of his sermons lying on
our centre table exhibits repeated marks of
their lawless attacks. Whether they have
discovered something erroneous in his theology, or desire to pick in pieces his style, we
cannot say. The fact is patent, and the reason doubtful. If the creatures had done the
thing but once, the matter would not be so
difficult a puzzle. Again and again have
they renewed their attacks. They are as
persistent ns the Prussians upon the French,
following up every advnntage, nnd not discouraged by defeat. All we can say is, this
is a fa.it tti/t.

of right reason, which instantly pronounces
a judgment of approval or condemnation,
growing out of the impression mude by every

or truth, and in the mnnner in which the

you are not in the same lot with others ;

The times want scholars —scholars who shall shape
The doubtful destinies of dubious years,
And land the ark, that bears our country's good,
•Sato on some peaceful Ararat at last.
The age wants heroei —heroes who shall dare
To struggle in the solid ranks of tin th ;
To clutch the monster error by the throat ;
To bear opinion to a loftier seat;
To blot the era of oppression out.
And lead a universal freedom in.
Ami Heaven wants souls—fresh and capacious souls
to taste its raptures, and expand, like tlowers,

It wants fresh souls—nut lean and shrivelled ones ;
It wants fresh souls, my brother—ffssj it thine.
If thou indeed wilt be what soholiirs should ;
If thou wilt be u hero, and wilt strive
To help thy fellow and exalt thyself.

Thy heart, at lust, shall seem a thousand hearts—

While thou shall sit with princes and with kiugs,

The Petrified Fern.
In a valley, centuries ago.
Grew a little fern leaf, green and slender—
Veining delicate, aud fibres tender—
Waving, when the wind crept'down so low;
Hushes tall, and moss, nnd gross grew round it,
Playful sanbeams darted in and found it.
Drops of dew stole in, by night, and crowued it,
But do foot of man e'er trod that way;
Earth was young, and keeping holiday.
Monster fishes swam the silent main,
Stately forests wared their giant branches.
Mountains hurled their snowy avalanches,
Mammoth creatures stalked across the plain
Nature revelled in grand mysteries.
But the little fern was not of these.
Did not number with the hills and trees ;
Inly grew and waved, its sweet wild way,—

those of (tod's own wiiy. He becomes, thenlore, what we call a " cross" man. We
thinks, perhaps, thut this is because everything in nature crosses his wishes und plans.
But it is because he has undertaken to cross
the plans and wishes of the God of nature.
And this is the reason why a cross man is
not successful, and is not happy. He acknowledges that he is not. He is growling
about it nil the time. He is an illustration,
in the very etymology of his name, that the
way of the transfrresmr is hard; that the
wag itself is quite as hard as the bed which
he is to sleep upon when he comes to his
journey's end.

A CROSS WAY IS A HARD WAV.
This is, indeed, one of those cases where
the old derivation or etymology of the words
is still a guide as to the truth which they
convey. A transgressor is one who goes
across the ways and boundaries which God
has appointed. The word is a Latin word,
which expresses the same idea as our English word " tres-passer." The transgressor
or trespasser is a man with a passion for
short cuts ; constantly flattering himself that
he sees better paths for his purposes than
God's paths, better ways than God's ways.
Leaving God's ways, therefore, to try his
own experiments, he is engaged at once in
stepping over and into other people's furrows ; he loses time and patience at brooks,
where he walks up and down in soggy meadows, trying to find easy places to jump
across, because there is no bridge ; he misses
his spring when the jumping moment comes,
because the tuft of grass is insecure from
which he leaps ; lie wades out upon the mud
on his hands and feet, recovering from his
fall as well as he may; and yet he must
plunge on in this same cross-cut of his own
surveying, partly from a pride which will
not give up, partly from a mistaken feeling
that it will be just as hard to go back over a
route which has proved so unsatisfactory.
The whole difficulty, perhaps, is expressed
in the syllable trans of transgressor," or in
**)* tres of trespasser,"" which mean
" The transgressor at hisalike

own
pleasiire e.mB nerosg all boundaries, even
a cruel, fanatic, determined race ; and she
inherits its force and decision. She marries
a weak husband, fond of luxury, fond of
peace. Because he is fond of peace, he has
married the daughter of his strongest neighbor. Because he is fond of luxury, he is
willing to introduce at his court all the magnificence of her father's. She travels in
pomp to her new home, and takes with her
a thousand ecclesiastics—priests and preachers,—who are to sustain the gorgeous ritual
to which she is used since her childhood.
Whoever insults one of these insults her.
Whoever insults her payS penalty with his
life. Her husband, like Macbeth, is slow to
take on himself the prompt murders and attendant crimes of her ambition. Little she
recks ; she will use his signet, she will give
his orders, she will hersell send her own enemies out of her way. He comes home one
day, complaining, like. David, that he cannot
obtain such a piece of land to add to the palace grounds. •« Are you king, or not ? "
says the proud woman. And she herself
writes the false accusation of the unhappy
land-owner; she charges him falsely with
blasphemy, punishable by death; she fixes
the king's seal to the accusation ; and, when
the poor wretch is killed, she comes in triumph to the king, who hud just a shade of
conscience ; she bids him take the coveted
garden for his own. Meanwhile, through
His life and after his death, she makes her
own name notorious hy her shameless adulteries. A thousand years after, the latest

scold who has sunk lower than himself,
takes that same name to revile her. Even
the innocent child lisping its catechism, and
asked who is the worst woman who ever
lived, answers, "Jezebel."
Take such a transgressor ns she,—a transgressor, all whose ways were made as easy
as rank and gold and a woman's will could
make them ; as easy to the last as triumph
could ma ko them. I say nothing of the close
of thut life. I say nothing of the result to
which those ways led her. I speak of the
ways themselves. Is it not, on any conception of the story, clear, that they must have
been hard ways all along ? These devilish
intrigues, these murders of the innocent, this
scorn for her husband, this shifting of her
lovers, these state-craft ingenuities; even
the pride of place, even the pomp of retinue,
even the low, sensual enjoyment of the table,
which is the enjoyment she shares with the
pig, or the condor, or the boa constrictor,—is
there, in such a life of fierce passion, of
steady transgression, is there any hope, even
for enjoyment, in it all ? It is clear that, in
the meanest hovel on the plain of Esdrael,
the simplest woman who loved her husband
and her children, und tried not to cross over
the ways her God had appointed, found more
in life than did the queen. That woman
lived more, carried out her own real wishes
more, succeeded more, even enjoyed more,
her ways were more smooth, her journey
more successful, than the most triumphant
ways of the crowned transgressor.

The regular meeting of the Association for October took place at the Reading
Room on Friday evening, the 28th ult. The
attendance was rather thin, owing doubtless
to the stormy weather. Minutes read and
committees reported. The main business of
the evening was the discussion of the report
of the Reading Room Committee on the list
of papers and periodicals to be taken for the
Reading Room during the coming twelve
months, which passed with several amendments. Some new and interesting papers
will be added to the list, and one or two of
the old ones be dropped off.
