OUBIST, THE PURIFIER. DT JAMES 3rosorcomEnt The following story (I know not what authority) is abroad in the religious world: Some ladies in Dublin, who met together, from time to time, at each other's houses, to read the Scriptures, and to Inake them the subject of profitable conversation; when they came to the third chapter of the prophecy of 'Malachi, had some disc:ussion over the second ond third verses, respecting the method of purify ing tho precious metals. As none of the company knew anything about the process, one undertook to inquire of a silversmith, with whom she was ac quainted, how it was eirectd, and, -particularly, what was the business of the refiner himself, dui.? 'jag the operation. Without explaining her mo tive, she accordingly wont to her friond,and aske k l him how tho silver was cleared from • any dross with which it might have been mixed. Ho prompt- ly explalnod to her the manner of doing 'diet," said tho Inquirer, udo you sit, sir, at the workl" t.Oll, yes," ho replied; "for I( must keep my eye steadily fixed on tho furnace, since, if the -;dver remain to long under the intet-in hest, it is sure to be damaged." She at once saw the bean ty 'and propriety of the image employed, Hilo shall sit as n refiner of silver" and the moral of the illustration was equally obvious. As the lady was returning with the information, to her expecting companions, the. silversmith called her back, and said that he had forgotten to. mention one thing of importance, which was, that homily knew the ex act instant when the purifying process was coin plate, by then seeing his own countenance in it.— Again the spiritual meaning again shown forth through the .boaoful veil of. the letter. When God sees his own image. in hiS people, the work of sanctification is complete. It maybe added,that the metal continues in it state of agitation till all the impurities are thrown off, and then it be&nnes quite still ; a circumstance which heightens the exquisite analogy in this case; for 0 how "Sweet to lie passive in hiti And know, no will inn his." The subject was embodied in the following start,. ens, at the urgent request of a friend, who, with her young family, was about to leave her native country, and settle hi 'a distant part of thrt globe; but the writer's Mind had received the first ineffitca hie impression of the sintilitUde and the inference, in the year' 1832, from the imps of another dear friend, when she was nearly in her last agony, who meekly applied it to herself end her affltaionii, which had been loitg and excruciating, yet borne by her as such pains can alone be ,borne in Grid's furnace . and under his' eye— "111:9HALL eIIT Ag A 11.Y.FTN .

A TRIM sTour. A LOVEr.lr morning in October, 17—, was ren dered a gloomy one to the inhabitants of Martini que. Repeated injuries ,inflicted by the ruling powers,coupled with a burning desire among many ambitious and perhaps, patriotic men, to crush foreign influence upon their beautiful isle, and to govern themselves as A free and independent people had long rendered a residence there precarious. On the morning in question, the banner .of revolt was seen floating in proud defiance upon the walls of the vatic of Fort_DAsy4 tIA.7 nu insrance the smoke of villages showed the track of the merci less demon .of insurrection. ,Every vessel in the harbour of Fort Royal was crowded with refugees,- tvite, having, hasfily . ,eolleeteil their most valuable effects, had fledbefore the tide of destruction which was rolling fearfully over that .ill-starred island. Among them wits a merchant ofhigh repute, who, with his wife and daughter,a beatitiful girl of About fifteen, took passage for France, whither on the -following day the vessel sailed. Fair winds gave them a quick passage to the Cape de Verde, find after a tarry of a day or two, they weighed anchor for Havre. At dawn on the second morning after their, departure, they espied a dark-looking brig bearing down upon them, and as the sun rose above the horizon, it portrayed to them the truth that on Algerine corsair was their early visitor. So much were the high seas infested ut that time with pirates, that every , vessel went prepared for an encounter. Immediate preparation was made for a contest, should the corsair overtake them, and all suits were spread to the breeze.. Tim pirate came up—the contest was fearful— the father and mother were murdered—and the beautiful orphan was made the prize of n band of ruffians. In a few days they neared the Barbary coast, and she was sold to the bey of Tunis for ten thousand sequins. The prediction of a fortune yller, years before, that she would one day wear the coronet of a queen; impressed on her mind with a conviction of its truth, which spread a halo of light round her amid the darkness of the worst of slavery. Her beauty made her a favourite, and about two years afterward, Sultan Mustapha ear; ried her in triumph to Constantinople. Her beauty, her virtues, her °triple powers to please, made her the exalted favourite of the imperial seraglio, and she became the honoured Sultana. Then indeed were the predictions of her destiny verified, and alto wore the crown as queen of the Ottoman em pire. Mahmoud 11., the present Sultan of Turkey is her son, and to her influence upon his early character, may be attributed his taste for European customs, and the frequent innovations which his will has made among the customs of his people.— The last act of importance, and which seems like a great stride toward the elevation of Turkish wo men to the same station which femaleshold through out Christendom, is the opening of the doors of the seraglio, and permitting the women to go in and out at their pleasure, and enjoy themselves by rambles upon the lovely plains which stretch along the banks of the beautiful Bosphorus. The num ber who were confined in his seraglio, was about six hundred. The fate of that YalAng girl was similar to that of Josephine, wife of Napoleon. She too was the subject of a similar prediction, and even when con fined by prison bars, and .upon the eve of convey anco to the guillotine,that prediction stood up before lier with all the brightness and sacredness of truth; and when the downfall of Robespierre caused her prison to bo thrown open, “There," exclaimed'She to Madame Fonteany, a follow. prisoner, "I told you I should yet be queen of France." And she was indeed queen, not only of France, but of the heart that beat in the bosom of that proud Corsi can who swayed its destinies. Impertinent Interference. "I never before noticed this cruel , temper of yours, Edward," said Sophie Willard to the youth who sat beside her on the sward. 'I am not cruel,' said Edward.

Sophia ruised-her half-shut violeteyes to the flat tering, youth, and extended her small white hand in token of her forgiveness. That hand was not relinquished until Edward bed gained a solemn promise thatit should he hie own. RESPECT TO Tux LADIES . .

From the New York Transcript The_ situation of Southern States From the lofty and imperious tone in which many or the southern members.speak on the floor of Congress, all who ore untic. quainted with the actual state and condition of that portion of the Union which they re present, would naturally suppose That their land was a paradise,that they were invulnera ble to disaster, far above, the influence of calamity,and that they literally slept on lieds of down, and breathed the atmosphere of roses.. But to those who have an intimate knowledge of their condition, who have been enabled to penetrate the veil that so imper fectly conceals their present and prospective situation from view,,tbe conviction is irresis fade, that ele southern states, and the soul h• ern people, are fu: from possessing the in herent strength, and power and inip.nriance they assume, fur from invulnerability us to safety, and that they are continually exposed to impending dangers, subjected to the ap prehensions of coming calamity,and literal ly slumbering on the crater Of a -volcano, preparing to discharge its fiery deluges up on them. A nd, illtitoug,h we have little plea. sure in contemplating the increasingly inr secure condition ofany portion of our repub nei.autt ,arsals‘...4l -osoo , sympathetic regard-for the people exposed to apprehended danger or anticipated calam ity, yet, as prophets of truth, we cannot for- -hear to speak with freedOnn.of our southern brethern, and briefly to adi , ert to the unhap py situation in which they are, of necessity, placed. And, although the fact may be sturdily denied, and, although the bold and, haughty spirits of the sou:h tnay to the eon, trary assert, yet, .we fearle3sly proclaim,that the southern states, are by far -the weakest portion of our clarttry—far inferior to those Of the north in'WySical and political, as well as moral strength, and thereby liable to calamities, which humanity would deplore, rind against which the lofty and indomitable spirits within them, will not always be able to guard. It is well known that n large re ntivo proportion of the southern population re blacks, who, although ignorant, and to state of thraldom, are nn astonishingly pro- lific race, and wi , o, from their constant ex posure to the sun, to lapor and to toil, pos• less n hardihood of character, a vigor of body and of limb, which the sickly sons of camtnacy.and luxury can never be able to This class of persons in these, states, of all ages and sexes, now number nearly three million of souls; and, however fond they. may profess to be of their masters, however len iently and kindly they may be treated, and how little soever cause of complaint they may have; yet it is impossible but that they should eventually discover their own degra ded condition, 419 contrasted with those of the white population around them, and hay- ing the feeling common to mankind in their bosoms, should ultimately unite in some bold and determined effort to ameliorate their present allotment. And however dreadful and destructive may be the means resorted to for the effectuation of this object, and how ever closely the white population may shut their eyes to the unanticipated danger, and spurn it ason idle bugbear from their con temptation; yet the time will assuredly come when they will awake to the reality of their danger, and be called upon . to encounter its unmitigated terrors. And although we pray that kleaven in its mercy may avert the calamity, yet from the history of other.coun• t ries and other places, where the same causes of alarm have existed, as well as from the yet unforgatten catastrophes which befel the South in former years of affliction wo may calculate with prophetic certainty that sim ilar consequences will ensue. All who are acquainted with the . hiltory of the servile wars of Rome, will remember the terrible vengeance of, and bloody battles fought by crowds of slaves, who for a long time were. enabled to bent back the Roman legions, to. baffle the skill end energies of the bravest General of the Republican armies,nnd tocar ry war and desolation far abroad, befure they were Subdued. , And time also was. within the memory of the.living, when the . French nation and people held undisputed possession. of, and exercised sovereignty over a large. portion, of the laland of St. Domingo,., where a comparatively small colony of Frenchmen, lorded . it over a large population of black as slaves; who crouch ek .moss.... - ed in humble submiss - before their Blithe. rite, and bowed obediently to their behests. And yeti in nn evil and unexpected hour, although an army of well disciplined soldiery carefully gua rded . the whites—the spira of insurrection burst forth with the fury of-a hurricane, and ere its rage was expended, ' every white man was either brutally batch: . ered or buried in theblazes of their dwell. ings, or driven . into exile from the Island.-- Scarcely one victim was left to detail . the horrible atrocity, or to tell of the terrors of the negro's vengeance. And since that dreadful massacre, the self-emancipated slaves ofSt. Domingo,have ruled and ranged the lords of the soil, thus drenched with their master's blood.

And although that small rising of ;he slaves was also ultimately suppressed, yet it was not efPcted without great difficulty, after a most terrible alarm, and .after the aid of the Military from a distanee was called in.— Then, as in the former cases, the rage and violence, and unrelenting eruelty .- of the blacks, were without bounds, and broke down every barrier of humanity; and the delicate female, and the tender.infant, as well as the athletic master, indiscrithinately put to death. Many lovely faMilies yet mourn fir their murdered dead, But a lit- tle more than a quarter of a century ago, a much more terrible calamity was about. to befal, and a much more fearful vengeance was prepared to be executed upon the white inhabitants of Itichinoed, Virginia,:the par, ttculnrs of which, we will.give in our The Fredericksburg.
