Tus Uston Paaver Meetine atthe Assembly Church, yesterday afternoon, was the largest in attendance this season; Rev. Dr. Kingsford pre- sided. The subject was “« For God's favor upon the sptritual instruction of the young: and that young men may be led seriously to consider their duty with respect to engaging in the work of the ministry.’ Prayers were offered by Revs Smith, Butler, Bittenger, and Messrs. Evans, Redstrake, and Stansbury. Rev. Mr. Morsell spoke of young mea engaging in this work, and exhorted those present to decide for Christ. Rev. Mr. Carothers said that the population of our country is estimated at 25,000,000. Of this number, one-fourth ure between 5 and 15 years of age, and about oné-fourth are between 15 and 30; 4,.vu0,000 of pupils are in our public schools, and are instructed by 100,000 teachers, at an annual cost of $10,000,000 In our private academies we have 300,000 pupils, 20.000 teachers, and expend annually $5,000,000. Between 250 and 300 colleges tll oar land. In these colleges we have 35.000 sindents, and expend annually $2,500,000. The relative educational ratio isas follows: In the United States, 1 child aitends school to e fe rsons ; in Prussia, | to 6 ; in Great Britain, ito ; in France, 1 to 10; in Russia. 1 to 50 Of the 3,500,000 of young men in this country, not 10,000 are looking to the ministr Shall the ebureh, at 4 time like the present, fail to secure the talents. piety, and labors of her sons? God's covenant is trae, and he would have parentadedi- cate their sons and their daughters to the evan- gelizing work now going on While in Great Britain | in 8 attends the spirit- ual instruction of the church, in this country the ratid would be somewhat larger—about 1 in 6 When the children of our land are taught the principles of truth at home. and by the means employed by the church, wot only will cease our iawlessness, but intelligence and religion will be the stability of our times, and the glery of coming generations It is a singular, instructive and encouraging fact, that about seven-eighths of the young men who enter the agers t are the sons of pious parents, and more than half of these parents are connected with the ministry. “The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them tbat fear him and his righteousness unto children’s children; to such as keep bis covenant and to those that remember his commandments to do them." . Of the number of stadents for the ministry In this country one in nineteen becomes a foreign missionary. In the progress of the Gospel among the beathen, our missionaries have begun and still carry on the work. Present developments are but the fruits of past years of toil and prayer ‘There ts that which scattereth and yet increaseth. ‘The mighty God is speaking by his ministers in every land : Three centuries ago, the English language was spoken by only five or six millions of the ig of the globe. Such are the changes of Provi- dence that now it is the most powerful and uni- versal of all languages. It isa language identi- fied with all that is benevolent, philanthropic, elevating, dignifying, Christianizing in the his- tory of the human family in the present century, Huudreds and thousands of millions will speak it im the course of the next hundred years. God, the Saviour, is preparin Means to spread his troth a H Every language Soon shall tell the love of God. It isa wise remars of the Edinburg Record, in referring to the rebellion in India, the expioration in Africa, and the religious awakening in Amer- ica, as three extraordinary events that mark the nt year, baving nothing common in their character, but al] tending to the wider diffusion of the Gospel, that Thus War opens one conti- nent to the Gospel. Science another, and the Holy Spirit quickens atbird. In this wonderful com- bination of events, diverse in themselves, yet having @ common bearing, we see a manifest proof that Christ sitteth at the rigbt hand of pewer on bigh'’ Thos, like a sea of glory, the mame of Jesus spreads f.om pole to pole. And yet this is bat The baby figure of the giant mass Of things to come at large."” Brethren, the subject of prayer to-day, viewed fa the light of these statements, 18 of most com- prebensive and transcendent importance.

Tur Haxp.—The harp is one of the most fas- cinating, noble, elegant, sacred, and ancient mu- sical instruments. It is truly to be regretted that so many ladies, who possess, as they do, much musical talent and taste, should appear so indif- ferent and think so little of so magnificent an instrument as to aliow it to remain, as it were, perfectly dormant for so long a time. The harp is so closely allied with poetry and the “‘song of the brave,” (he trophy and emblem of many bygone days of glory, as recorded in bistory, that it is surprising it should be so. We are forced to ask—Js the harp too aristociatic an instrument for ladies to learo in connection with other accomplishments and to be introduced into their boudoir; or, are they too much so for it? Well; we must suppose at least that one is asbamed of the other, and neither will bave the boldness to exhibit the superiority. The over estimate made as an objection by many (but only by those who know nothing whatever about the harp or its intrinsic value) of the cost of one—has, it is too true, proved a pow- erful {mpediment in the way of its popularity — not permitting it to rank, as it should, a promi- nent and standard instrument in fashionable cir- cles as well as in the science of music It will be found that it is but a little more ex- pensive than the cost of a good piano; as one may be purchased as low as two hundred and tifty dollars, averaging from that to seven and eight —s according to the elegance or style or finish Again; the cost of keeping it strung is no more than the expense attending the keep ng a piano intune. Then again, another objection is raised that it takes too much labot and time to acquire any degree of proficiency. The question ix often asked, How long would it take to learn to play on the harp’ The answer is, that, — Z atten- tively two hours a day for one season {s sufficient to enable one to execute pieces of moderate dithi- culty and with very good effect, Provided the learner js placed under (as it should be in all similar cases) the instruction of a professed teacher. As there is at present every facility in this city for cultivati ®& taste for the harp, all lovers of music should encourage its develop- ment among us. *.

We presume that Mr Heiberger will never again “jump Jim Crow.”? Some Puxpxtns —Mr George Stabler has on exbibition at Franklin Hall, corner of Ninth ang D streets, the greatest vegetable curiosity that has ever been exhibited in this city. It is no less than a mammoth pumpkin vine, that was grown on the land of Joshua Thompson, near Laytons- ville, Montgomery county, Maryland. This vine sprung up through three feet of straw, and cov- ered an area of 45 yards; it bas borne, from first to last, 450 pampkins, and at the time of its sev- erance from the ground was in full bloom. This is really no bombag, as can be well attested by respectable yentiemen who saw it, and as wiil appear by personal {nspection Any person fond of soning vegetable cusiosities will be well paid by visiting Franklin Hall and jnspecting ‘this specimen By actual measurement, this vine is 1,400 feet, rauning measure It wilt be exhibited for several days, from 9am tll 10 Pm.
