WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1860
Lord IslacitulaY.
Literature has sustained a heavy loss by the
death of Lord Macaulay. Less fortunate than
Gibbon, who tired for several years after the
completion of his great historical work, Ma•
caulay has departed with the crowning labor
of his life fincompleted. llc has left two vo
lumes nearly ready for the press, which, no
doubt, will be speedily published. The four
volumes which have already appeared cover
only ten years of British history, namely from
1687 to the closo of 1667, when the power of
William of Orange was firmly established.
Tho two volumes to come will extend, we be
lieve, to the close of Queen Anne's reign—the
period when Lord Malion's History of Eng
land commences. Macaulay's fault was taking
too largo a canvas. Had he commenced
writing his History ten years before lie died—
say on his return from Lnlia—ho still would
have been unable to have completed it. What ;
he has Produced is brilliant, Picturesque, and
not a little prejudiced. lie has made almost
a personal quarrel with Penn and Marlborough,
and his estimate of that cold-blood Dutchman,
William the Third, errs on; the other extreme,
In being entirely too favorable.
The public may desire to know what manner
of man Macaulay was. Twnty-tive years ago
ho was one of the worst-looking men in the
House of Commons. Stature rather below the
middle height; figure bulky and ungraceful;
features fleshy, sallow, and inexpressive ; rough
hair of a sandy hue ; mouth firm and well cut;
largo and remarkably lustrous eyes ; attire ex
tremely careless. Such was Macaulay at the
ago of thirty-five. Ills faee lighted up when
ho spoke—particulariy when making one of his
Parliamentary orations, which, however, had
the fault (almost unpardonable by an English
audience) of being carefully prepared beforo
hand, and committed to memory. His voice
was between a lisp and a burr, and his utter—
ance was thick and husky for the drat Bed
minutes of delivery. After that, his voice
sounded grandly and Clearly, and a pin could
be heard in the House of Commons while he
was speaking.
Macaulay's personal appearance greatly im
proved with advancing years. Ho became
slighter In his figure—less pudgy, in fact; the
deepened lines of his face, marked by thought,
added expression to it; his sand-colored hair
became nearly white. By tar tho,best portrait
of Macaulay—the only one which represents
him as he really looked in his later years—was
published last year, in the London Plus/reed
News of the World, with an accurate memoir.
This portrait was engraved on steel, by Mr.
D. J. Pound, from a photograph by Maull &
Poly bank, and was probably the last for which
Lord Macaulay sat. This portrait also appears
with the biography, in the second series of
the a Drawing Room Portrait Gallery of
Eminent Personages," of which Messrs.llenry
A. Brown & Co., of Boston, are tho American
publishers.
The memoir in question, corrected, wo be-
Have, by Lord Macaulay himself, says that ho
was born at Rothley Temple, in Leicester
shire, on the 2.6111 October, 1800. His pub.
lie career has been extremely fortunate. Me
entered Parliament, at the ago of 80, when
only a briefless barrister, on the strength of
his reputation as a writer in the Edinburgh
Ream, owing his seat to the Marquis of
Lansdowne, a liberal of the first water, who,
when his Whig colleagues framed the Reform'
Bill in 1882, took good care. to preserve one
member for the petty borough of Oalne, his
private property—thus this village with 104
electors returning ono member, while Sal
ford, with 4,000 electors and 107,000 popula
tion, has only ono also. Macaulay has held
numerous offices—viz: Commissioner of Bank
rupts, Secretary to the India Board, Member
of the Supreme Council in India, (where be
bad $O,OOO a year for four years,) Secretary
at War, and Paymaster•Genoral of the Forces.
In September, MT, ho was placed in the
HoMto of Lords, with the titic.of Baron Ma
caulay, but rarely attended, and, as far as we
recollect, did not once make a speech, as a
Peer.
DIBPATOIII
At the request of several, who have boon
desirous of procuring a copy of the article in
Tit PuEsts, on September 16, 1817, on hear
ing of Macaulay's elevation to the Peerage,
wo tahe leave to reproduce it here:
Thomas Babingion Macaulay elevated to the
British peerage, without the adventitious aids of
conneotion, fatuity, or wealth ! The man who, live
and twenty years ago, would have prophesied that
the most ultra Radical in Lord ti refs A tititinistra•
tion--the man who, while the Reform Bill was in
agitation, fiercely challenged the propriety of hav
ing such an estate of the Realm as the Rouse of
Lords; that Macaulay should himself become' a
poor,. wouid hero been very greatly ridiculed.
His elevation may be accepted as a compliment to
literature—the greatest yet paid in England, for
Macaulay is the firbt man of lottery pittOti in the
Upper House. Scott, Utiliser, and Alison received
the Inferior honor of baronetcy, and Sir Humphrey
Davy, the great ohentiA end natural philosopher,
had only the transitory honor of knighthood. Ma
caulay in made an hereditary logblator, and Pal
morston, who 'wants efficient aid In the Lords,
probably calculates upon occasional help from the
new Baron.
On the 19th of January, 1859, Alacaulay Relin
quished the Parliamentary Representation of
Edinburgh, on the plea el bad health, and bade
farewell to political life. It was expected that
he would devote the comparative leisure thus
obtained to the proseaution of big historic studies.
Considering that in the four volumed already pub•
fished, (containing nearly 2,000 octavo pages,) he
has given us only pins years of English history—
that coven years intervened between the publiea•
Con of the two portions of the work, that his pox.
pose was to write tho annals of a hundred read
thirty years, and that, with a broken constitution
Macaulay bus already passed tho ago of lifty•ssvea, ,
thoro eon be no ronannablo ground for en expecta
tion that his work will ever bo oomploted. Ile
committed ft great fault at the very entutnonce
mont, by taking ton large a canvas for his picture.
ilis work, brilliant as it is in parts, will be a mouu•
mons no less of 1113 industry than hie genius, but
it tuns too much into details ; the breadth of the
narrative is sscrifieed by the relation of the minute
particulars. Tho moult must be--we shall have a
literary torso, grand and nsbio, indoed, but yet
imperfect. To complete Maesulny's work, on a
scale proportionate with whit is already published,
would tako at least thirty volumes. BM only
chance is to contract his design and etoso his his•
tory at tho end of Queen Anne's reign ond the
acoession of the Boum of Brunswick. Bran this
would require at !coot half a dozon volumes more,
and morn constant apnlication than Macaulay is
ablo to devote to it.
Wherever the English language is spoken, tho
name of Macaulay is familiar. We shall scarcely
err in sketching hie political career, up to the
present period, when ho may be Induced
again to enter into the arena of politics and
partisanship.
Macaulay, born nt /lothley Temple, in Lel.
cestershlre, in IFOO, was educated in Aaron•
shire, and freely made use of his knowledge of
West of England localities, when relating the inci
dents of Monmouth's bootless campaign and Jef
fries' "blood amino." Ito entered tho University
of Cambridge at the age of 18, was elected (en
eompetition) to the Crayon scholarship throe years
later, graduated as Bachelor of Arts in 1822, and
in tho same year was made a Follow of Trinity Col
loge--a literary sinecure, yielding some ..t2OO per
annum, which he bold until his appointment to
India in 1834, At Cambridge, as at Oxford, there
is n debating club cattail. The Union. Macaulay
became a member, and soon was considered as by
far the most eloquent of all who took part in the
discussions. lie was so strongly Democratic in his
tendencies at that time, that lie was compelled, in
later years, formally to contradict a Timor, which
had become embodied into a reproach and tieeusa
tion, to the effect that, while in College, on the an
niversary of the execution of Charles the First, ha
had significantly intimated his antipathy to King
ship, by inviting his friend♦ to a supper, the prin
t elm% dish of which was ,e CRIPS head.
While at Cambridge, between the years 1822
and 1824, Macaulay contributed largely, in prose
and verso, to The Etonian and Knight's Quarterly
Magazine—short-lived brit brilliant periodicals,
which are now so eagerly sought for that almost
any price ran be obtained for complete MU. The
ballads called "The Bong of the League," 4, The
Battle of Ivry," and the " Lays of the Cavaliers,''
(scarcely known In this country,) appeared in
Knight's Quarterly.
In 1828, Altmanlay became a barrister, at Lin
coln's Inn, (ho was Sleeted Beecher of that society
in 1819, on account of his literaty merit,) and soon
after, was made Commissioner of Bankrupts, an
0104 then worth about £BOO a year. Early in 1827,
having then settled in Loudon, and got into the
liberal and literary society of Holland House, ho
contributod his first artiolo, "On English Polities
In 1827," to tho Ediltburgh Review. The paper
on Hilton followed, and the remainder of the bril
liant settee which he has since published together
in a colioetlve form.
lt was soon perceived, that as a lawyer Ma
caulay had little iodination to "live laborious
days." Ile was strongly urged to bestow himself
upon politics. Zachary Macaulay, his father, who
was ono of the leaders of the English Anti-Slavery
movement, was largely mixed up with the liberal
party. Tho future historian's own feelings were
liberal else. The influence of Holland llouse was
groat, and early in MO, the pocket-borough of
Caine, (the property of the Whig Marquis of Lane
downo,) had the honor of returning Mr. Macaulay
as orm of its representatives. For that borough he
eat until December, ISA when the Reform Bill
came info operation. The newly-enfranchised bo
rough of Leeds then elected him, and ho continued
its representative until February, 1831, when ha
went to India. Ile sat for Edinburgh from May,
VW, to the autumn of lila, (when ho was cash
iered, by the Anti•Catholio clusters, for voting for
the further endowment of Alaynooth,) and was

dress to the voters. Over coven-and-twenty years
hare passed since Macaulay entered Parliament,
butite has hod a sotit in the Commune for little
more than half that period.
From the very first, ho took a leading and stri
king part in the debates and succeeded in becoming
a popular speaker, although ho labored under
many personal disadvantages. Hie delivery was
as rapid as Shell's; his voice shrill, and rather
monotonous; and he so much lacked the power of
the ready creativeness, which is half the battle in
a debate, that his specohes "smelt of the lamp"
very much, and, In fact, were cut-and-dried essays,
carefully elabbrated beforehand, and committed to
memory. In this, he resembled another man of
"genius-41r. Shell—and few Parliamentary speak
ers of any note followed their example. The Ifouse
, of Commons, which generally objects to prepared
orations, was singularly tolerant toward Macaulay
and Shell. But it cannot be doubted that extort
port addresses from these politicians, however in
ferior to their carefully-composed speeches, would
have had more weight, by a great deal. The
limas lister/oil to them, applauded, thronged to

peruFed the newspaper reports of their brilliant
sperches—sky-roekets flashing in the midst of the
.debates; but a plain, ready, practical speech, emit

more service than the brilliant rhetoric of Macau
lay and Shell.

Parliament in the prime of life, (he was in his thir

with a salary of 12,480 a year—his letter to his
constituents, dated from "'Windsor Cattle," ex
cited much satirical comment at the time—and
continued in that office until the break-up of the
Melboarno Ministry, in September, 1011. When
Lord John Russell mourned the taint of Govern
ment, in Juno, 1810, Macaulay again became
Cabinet Minister, holding the office of Paymaster
General of the Forces, which he resigned, early in
1818, when hit rejection by the electors of Edin
burgh left hint without a seat in Parliament. Ile
has not since held any oilive. Since his return to
the House of Commons, in 1883, his oratorical dis
play& were few. The most important ono was a
speech, in 1853, on Indian Government, when the
Company's charter was remodelled and renewed.
Alaeaulay's speeches, after his return from
India, preserved the characteristics of his earlier
efforts—perhaps, indeed, hit diction had more
brilliant hues, his imagination a more poetical
expression. He certainly adorned every 'subject
witch he touched. Whether it was Vote by Bal
lot, or the successes of British arms in India; Petal
/so, or the Mutiny bill; the Chinese War, or
Irish Elections; Copyright Law, or the Sugar Du
ties; Cheap Bread, or the Income Tax; the Poo

Maynouth, or the Scottish Universities—he throw
light upon everything, and, though no debater,
gave an interest to every question whin% was in

numerous ratioles from Macaulay. They were

obtained a large sale in England and unbounded

which brought it together."
As early as IF3I, when ho was only peen•

him as "certainly one of the most remarkable
men of the day." In 1011, having eat next him

Woe range of knowledge anything moy be 1.0

Smith, blmeelf a brilliant talker, acknowledged
the oycloptedic knowledge of Macaulay, and ad.
milted that ho tvai the heat convoraatioulet in
England—only, once that he was wound up and
going, nothing. could atop him. On ono occasion,
in a letter whioh described a London party, Smith
said, "Macaulay, as usual, most agreeable, and
rarprisod, as well as delighted us, with several
drilltant flasher of silence."'
In 16 , 12, Macaulay surprised—the public.. Ills
Lays of Ancient home, founded on the legends re
lated by Livy, obtained immediate and - extensive
popularity. Hie Essays and Articles from the
Edtn6lugh, Rroiew were collected, in a dis
tinctive publication, in 1943. Some of our readers
may thank no for informing them that 111ttcau
lay's latcet contribution to the Review appeared
in October; 1841, and was the accord part of
Ids article on Lord Chatham. The opening
volumes of hie history of England were pub
lished in 1848. A brilliant loader in the London
Tinter of remember 1 says: "To Europe that
history is worth all the constitutions that have yet
been devised. It hes been translated into Many
languages, and widely read over the continent.
Who does not remember the appearance of 'these
volumes In that year of revolution, when all the.
people of Europe were maddening with fury about
thrones that seemed to be tottering to their fall ?
It was with profound gratitude that, amid the uni
versal wreck, Englishmen saw, as the historian
desoribed, how in their country liberty came to be
linked with order, and contentment and fraternity
wore made consistent with the inequalities of an
aristooracy. If it was a lesson which we shall
never forget, it was a lesson also which, we have
little doubt, will one day bear fruit in evaiking
dem of Borers, making Sovereigns more wise, and
making subjects tremble for that crisis shadowed
forth by the historian, in which it may be neces
sary to sacrifice even liberty in order to save civi
lization."'
In 1848 Macaulay was elected Lord Rector of
the University of Glasgow—an honorary post which
bad be tilledsby Thomas Campbell, Francis Jef
frey, Henry Brougham, Walter Smtt, and other
eminent men. ' His inaugural address was one of
the ablest of his produotions. In 1849 he was made
Professor of Ancient Ilistory In the Royal Acade•
my of London—a chair once occupied by Oliver
Goldsmith.
In 1853 a London publisher issued a collection
of Macaulay's speeches—a reprint from an edition,
very carefully collated from Hansard's Parliamen
tary Debates, by Redfield, publisher, of New Yerk.
Mr. Macaulay immediately wrote an angry tester
to The Tim's, denying tho authenticity of the
speeches. Hansard-46 noise knew better than
Macaulay himself, who bad repeatedly quoted
his antagonists' words from them—la stand
ing authority In the British Parliament,
the speeehes it contains being revised
and corrected by the men who delivered
thorn. Macaulay's own speeches in Hansard had
boon so revised. It was disingenuous and unfair,
therefore, to repudiate Hansard. Macaulay On
self-defence, he said,) collected and edited his own
speeches, elating that, as in the early part of his
career, he bad been bitterly personal, If not un
jnat, towards Peel and others whom he had lived
and leaned to respect, he bad withdrawn all the
harsh expressions he bed used. In a word, he
emasculated his speeches, giving what he had
1101 uttered. Whoever wants to read what Ma
misty really did say moat examine the New York
edition.
The thlr,4 and fourth volumes of the history ap
peared in 1855, since which deto Macaulay has
boon so engaged in writing literary biographies for
the new edition of the Ettryefopmlia Britannic,:
that he can have devoted little time to the cantina
elfin of his magnum opus.
hisoanlay, who is a baeholor, (and, from his
habits, very unlikely ever to become "Benedick,
the married man,") enters the Peerage in his fifty
eighth year. In the house of Lords he will, as a
philosophical historian, have some opportunities,
on great questions, of grading the debates with
that stately and ornate eloquence which is so pecu
liarly his own. The Times says:
" Especially et the present moment must we re•
joke nt his elevation, In the hope that when we
have crushed this Indian mutiny, and the time
comes to consider cairniy the future of our East
ern Empire, the views of oue who has described in
most glowing terms bow England became pos
sessed of that glorious prize, and who, in the pre
paration of a Code of Indian Law, has shown that
he has most profoundly studied the wants of the
!Undo°, will be expressed as he alone of living
speakers can express them. Not only in our In
dian difficulty, but on all questions of high polio',
there le not a soon its the country whose opinions
are entitled to more weight, and who will be more
gladly heard. An historian is a statesman on his
travels; and, while Mr. Itisesulay'wlll still travel
from century to century, and from country to coun
try, we may expect now to have him sometimes
at home with us, giving his advice to the pre
sent need."
'lt Is scarcely to be expected, nor indeed—ha.
ring to view the Interests of literature, from which
suet a pursuit would draw him—is it to be desired
that Lord Macaulay will be indueed to resume ef.
dee, though his ability would greatly strengthen
any Cabinet. Ifs will be found, however, a steady
supporter of Lord Palmerston's policy.

"The Good Samaritan."
OITRIION AY THE REV. A. A. WILLITS, DELIVERED ON
LAST SUNDAY )MORNING, IN THE FIRST RETORXED
CRURCIS, CORNER OP SEVENTU AND sparsa
The discourse of the Rev. A. A. Willits, preached
at the church of which he is pastor, on lag. Sunday
morning— an extempore effort—and of which the
following is a brief synopsis, given from memory,
was ilelivercd substantially in behalf of the
poor, and, as snob, was appropriate and instruct.
ive, the sermon in part may not he improperly
styled'a paraphrase of the parable of •' The Good
Samaritan," u it appears in the tenth chapter of
Luke, 'from the twenty-fifth to the thirty , seventh
verses inclusive..
In commencing, be remarked that the "certain
lawyer" spoken of in the opening of this passage
at baring "tempted" our Lord, by inquiring
"what be must do to inherit eternal life?" had
not propounded this question from the sinister mo
tives ,which were sometimes implied by the
epithet tempter, but rather as a telf-justify
fug pharisee, whose counterpart was not hard
to find among the mere outward religionists
of our own day. flit answer to the Master's
query, " What to written in the law? "‘ evinced
a broader and more intelligent comprehension
of what God require* of us than eras usually Judi
eated by thoae who bad anbatitstled the traditions
of the eiders for the plain teachings of Jehovah.
This was the lawyer'. fast and appeared mixer :
"This shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart,' and with all thy seat, and with all thy
strength. and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor
its thyself." The Master had at once met this with
his approval, but added, no this, and thou shalt
live.' The little word " do" here was just what
had struck conviction to the heart of the inquirer,
of. his wrong-doing. His theory
. the Saviour ad
mitted was all right, bat the injunction no—to
carry it out in the life—there it was that " the
shoe pinched." Accordingly, as It is Written,
"be,willing to justify mid unto Jeans,
And is my neighbor ?"
It woe at this point that the parable proper was
fairly introduced. For brevity, an outline of this
explanatory parable may be given as follows: A
man on his way from Jerusalem to Jericho was
attacked by radian:, who stripped him of his rai
ment, wounded him, and left him half dead. lie
was successively passed by a priest and Levite
without obtaining from them any assistance, but a
Samaritan coming that way had compassion on
him, dressed his wound,, conveyed him to an inn,
leaving orders when he departed on the following
day to have the unfortunate man properly cared
for, with money for that object, and his pledge
that for what other expense might be incurred be
would himself be responsible.
In view of this, the Saviour asked the lawyer,
"which now of these three thinkest thou was
neighbor unto hint chit fell among thieves?" To
which the latter rightly responded: "Ile that
showed mercy." whereupon Jesus acid, " Go, and
do thou
IVbile the noble conduct of the Samaritan was
properly the theme of the discourse, the speaker's
introductory allusions to the conduct of the priest
and the 'Arita were so admirably put that our
synopsis would be incomplete without a reference
to them. ft would be incorrect to s'ty that the
preacher dramatised this part of Me subject for
the occasion; and yet, we trust it will not he dims
raging to gay that It was "sated to the life." la
this peculiarity of a nubile speedier, by the way,
Mr. Willits is singularly telicitons. The pharisai
cal heartlessness of the passing priest, who was se
engrossed with the "tithing of mint, anise and
Puma) in." es to forget the weightier matter of
showing sners-y, tau deprecated as mush to these
of our mon day, who have the outward skin and
shell of religion. without its heart and soul, as in
the priestly hvpaerito to the test, " who passed by
on the other side "
"the Levite, continued the speaker, aaproaahed
s. little nearer to the sufferer—be" looked on hins;"
but then followed in the shameful footsteps of his
predecessor—"on the other tide" Not so, how
ever, the Samaritan, who of the three would pro
hably have been the Meat excusable for not stop
ping to help a suffering Jew, on coconut of
their national antipathy. So great, indeed, bad
been this hostility between these two classes, that
Jews made eta part of their religion to denounce
sod invoke judgment upon the Sameritans, sod
even went eo far as to pray that they might have
ue part in the resurrection. A significant corn
lasnt upon the light in which they regarded each
other wed found in the surprise manifested by
the woman of Samaria, at Christ's coining to
her en a hot summer's day for a drink of
water, who said, •. flow is it that thou, being
fflr, sakest drink of me, whion em a
woman of Seeura,s ?" There would then, ha.
manly speaking, have been some palliation for this
Samaritan's passing by one without showing com
passion, a pert of whose creed it was to hate with
bitternesa the people of Samaria. But he chose to
pursue a different and a nobler course ; one which
woo, the approval of heaven, and which would hand
down the prefix " good" to his name to the and of
time. This Meath feeling, the speaker feared, wu
even at the present day too much influencing the
actions of professirg Christians, Be bad no sym
pathy with a sectarian bigotry that separated
Christians from treating each other as such, be
cause they did not happen to agree in certain non
essential dxtrines. For his own part, be was
quite willing for man to maintain their honest dif
(stances of opinion, the only test of discipleship for
which he contended was, Do nosy Lova TIM
Loon Jasus 7"
[lf this noble standerd was more generally re
cognised, and acirri spoil, what dreadful havoc it
would make with the abominable bickerings of
some of our modern " priests and Levites," who
seem to be much more bent upon impugning the
preaching of their fellow Christians, than open
recommending to their congregations the conduct
of the good Samaritan.'?
'felting up the rood riot of the geed Samaritan in
the parable, the speaker,*with characteristic dis•
eubmitted of it this analysis : It was
practical, prompt, fitting'', and persevering, and
upon these four beads the remainder of the ser
mon was based. It was ?rail/cal. It was not 4
mere theoretic burst of pity, Beets as oft times with
uplifted hands dismiseed the eupplient for charity
withapharissical prayer, tt be ye fed, and be no
clothed !" but it was doing the act of mercy tfie
SarefOr most needed. his compassion assumed the
form of a reality ; it was practising that appreeta•
tie goodness which Christ demands from the sub.
jeots of his kingdom. and which, in the 25th of
afatthew, we are told will be regarded at the last
day as service rendered directly to himself.
But, in the second place, the conduct of the Sa
maritan was prompt. Ile did not look upon the
poor sufferer and then go away to get somebody
else to come and attend to his ease, but he met the
neceseitiesef the man at once. The charities of
some people were robbed of half their value by
the tardiness with which they bestowed them. In
nothing was the " nimble sixpence and slow shill
ing" philosophy snore forcibly demonstrated than
in our giving for the relief of suffering. /lad the
Samaritan gone on, debating in his mind whether
lie hail time to attend to the sufferer, and finally
determined to return, his assistance might have
corns too late. So we, in our grudging delay to help
God's poor promptly when tht opportunity eters,
not only forego the pioneers of responding to duty
with alacrity, but oft-thues realise that our will
inguess has come too lute to answer the best pur
pose.
Then, again, the Sarearitan'e conduct was fit
ting. /1 was just what the emergency demanded.
The man needed immediate aid. Money, just
then, would have done him no good. It might
hare subjected him to still farther maltreatment
from the robbers, and so done him harm. Men
should always use discretion in their giving, If a
men was sick, be needed medicine ; if be was hun
gry. he needed something to eat; if ho was suffer
ing from the cold, he needed suitable clothing ; if
ho was exposed, he needed shelter. This man was
wounded. The Samaritan, therefore,
with wine
from his flask, washed the clotted blood from his
wounds, and poured into them oil, binding them
with linen, probably rent from his own vesture, and
then settine the mien upon his beast, and himself
walking, brought hint to an inn. All this was ex
actly. titled to the sufferer's necessities ; and so our
charities should always he bestowed with like dis
crimination, ever remembering that there is some.
thing to do besidee the mere giving of money.
But, in the fourth and hat place, theism:elect of
the Samaritan wan periet.errOg. fie not only
soothed his wounds, and provided him with shelter
end lodgings, at his own expense, but on his de
parture gave to the hest money to take care of the
man, adding that whatever additional expense
might bo incurred he would repay on his return
Ibis acid the speaker,
had the true ring of mag
nanimity. Ile did not say tt Well, I have dome my
part toward this man's relief ;" or app-al to the
landlord to keep the MO AS a pauper, for charity
sake If he had been influenced by such conside
rations the man might have teen turned out in to
condition perhaps little hotter than when he came;
but be acted a nobler pert by practising the per.
severance which would make his charity effectual.
The application of this whale subject, to his
congregation, was as happy as the division of his
subject woo felicitous. It was founded upon these
closing words of Christ to the inquiring lawyer :
and do thou !armlet." One of two speeial
objects he had in view was, to point out to his
hearers their opportunity of emulating the exam
ple of the Bond bamaritan by contributing to the
Dorcas fund of the church. [We may be allowed
to say in this connection that the Domes Society
of this church—composed of the ladies of the con
gregation—under its excellent management has
heeeme a beneficent institution, supplying, as it
does, nearly a hundred children annually with
suitable winter-clothing. I he garments are made
up by the ladies, who meet in a social sewing cir
cle (is which rssip is religiously prohibited) once
week for this laudable purpose J The blessed
ness of giving was eloquentiy dwelt upon. The
couplet.
That man may breathe, but never tires,
who much, receives, but nOthiril sires,
was a Christian truism. It was in the light of true
religious development that God's afflictive provi
dances beam° blessings, and the heart that was
not yet schooled to &flog, for the love of it, was yet
in the alphabet of Its Christian experience, if, in
deed it had entered upon it at all. Our feelings re
volted at the thought of the recent terrible calamity
at Lawrence: and yet he believed that it would do
New England more real good than all the cotton
cloths that could have been woven in the Pember
ton Mills for the next fifty years. It had stirred
the fountain of Christian sympathy to Its very
bottom, and it did his very soul good to hear tell of
the noble promptness with which there cotton
kings and prinees of Boston and elsewhere were
putting down their names to one hundred, two
hundred, five hundred, and even thousand
dollar subscriptions! The selifth Christian was an
anomaly. The only real value of money wee found
in using it for a od'a purposes, in works of mercy.
Ile commended the sentiment of John Weeleyoahe
once said that if ho died the owner of thirty
pounds, the world might set him down ass hy
pocrite. And Wesley had kept his word, and
that, too, it should be remembered, having had
ample opportunity to amass wealth, If he had
been disposed to do so. forhe was a voluminous and
popular writer. lie concluded with Shakepeare's
beautiful verdict upon mercy—
" his tvnee blessed
It blesses him that gives, and him tbed takes."

Thrilling Railroad Scene.
fu a recent number of the Parrinrg Chronicle
we find a graphic description of the late railroad
accident, near Food Valley, on the Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne, end Chicago Railroad. The accident vas
occasioned by a broken rail, throwing • passenger
car and a sleeping car off the track down an em.
bankment. The first of these was soon on fire,
which added to the terror of the scene. Ore of
the passengers. who evened uninjured, writes con
cerning the sleeping car as follows:
Picture to your mind's eve that sleeping ear—
fallen on its aide, at that moment—all prostrate!
The lamps extinguished! the !make of the over

its gloom distraction and danger. The cry of Are
was raised, and followed by the most terrible am
fusion. in the midst of which a lady woe beard to
[.ry. • Help! my mother will be burned!' The
car was now filled with smoke, while all 11111P111d

were, or the extent of their danger. At length the
[leer wee found, and a general rush for the open
air was made. Some few. however. • ernained be
hind, and assisted in rescuing the lade before re
frrred to, and her noble end courageous daughter,
from their perilous position."
Under the eiretunstenees, the wonder is that the
steeping•car was not also enveloped in Emus.
Rad the ordinary stoves been employed in this
oar, probably nothing could have averted this dire
result. Fortunately, Spear's patent 'railway ear
heater bad been introduced upon this road, two of
which were in the car here referred to. Among
[ other qualities of this heater which cannot be too
highly recommended, they are perfectly proof
against accidents by fire. The writer [shave
quoted "A young lad, travelling with
his widowed mother, found her alder the heat
ed stove, badly injured, and threatened with
immediate death. Calmly, bat promptly, he drew
his coat-sleeve over his hand, and, raising the
fallen stove, rescued his frightened parent from
death."
From any other railroad stove than that in
vented by our townsman, Mr. James Spear, such
a rescue would probably have been impartible. In
noticing this admirable beater and ventilator a
short time mince, we omitted referring to this pe
culiarity, that under no circumstances can lire
find egress from the store, without purposely un
locking the door. The stove itself is of cast iron,
screwed together in the most substantial manner,
and firmly fastened to the external sheet-iron
casing, which, in turn, is strongly secured to the
floor of the car. The greatest smash-up imagin
able could effect no more than Indentations in the
tough sheet-iron without; ea that if even the
concussion should be severe enougl to break the
store in fragments, the Hre could net possibly
escape. This itself is a deside,:c.•• in the nutter
of heating ears, from the fact tLat some of the
most shocking railroad calamities on record have
been rendered so by the shattered ears taking fire
from the overturned stoves, thus subjecting the un
fittionate victims to the double terror of mantled
bodies and devouring flames. In view of this, in
omnection with other merits which we ha e
already explained, we would again recommend
thi s ingenious patent heater to railroad companies
generally. Upon many roads, we are glad to
learn, they have been intralneetl within the pot
ent season
