The following is from a paper, the Methodist Christian Advocate , which is regarded as among the conservative journals of the North. Oar readers may see how even such journals are con strained to express themselves ih view of the recent developments of feeling in the South: The Montgomery (Ala.) Mail says: “Last Sa turday we devoted to the dames a large number of copies of Spurgeon’s Sermons, and the pile was graced at the top with a copy of ‘Graves' Great Iron Wheel,* which a Baptisft, friend -presented' for the purpose. We trust that the works of the greasy cockney vooiferator may receive the same treatment throughout the South. Aud if the Pharisaical author should ever show himself in these parts, we trust that a stout cord may speedily find its way round his eloquent throat. He has proved himself a dirty, low-bred slanderer, and ought to be treated accordingly.” This is but a specimen of scenes which for some time have disgraced the South. It is by no means the worst example; it speaks badly enough, without question, for the public sentiment, not to say Christian character of the South; but it can hardly be compared with the numerous instances which have lately occurred of personal violence, of hostility to the rights of speech, of undisguised attempts at black mail against business men, of the ostracism of upright and useful citizens, vir tuous families, and almost whole villages of inno cent people, natives of the soil. An occasional examplo of such ruffianism might well enough be overlooked as no indication of a general state of society, but these barbarities have now become too common to claim such charity. There is one fact especially that cannot fail to strikepubHc attention as terribly significant in re gards “these'dccumhees7 We refer to the'‘aC most total dumbness or cowardice of the press of the South respecting them. No journals are more rampant with bravery on some subjects than those of the South. But while they must consider these events as a public disgrace, and a serious detriment to the character of the South, scarcely one of these valorous journals dares to whisper a word against the infamous demonstrations—de monstrations that could not occur under the lowest government of Europe, that would be shamed out of countenance among any semi-barbarous people of Asia. Worst of all is the real contrivance of the reli )us press of the South at these enormities. The juth is full of religious journals; we get scores ’ them in exchange weekly, but we cannpt men lon two which have dared to utter a rebuke against tese infamies. We can mention several which ve indirectly if not directly encouraged them, tat a state of society must exist where such . be the fact? No impartial man can doubt it it is the result of the ultra views of slavery teh now prevail almost everywhere in the tth, and its religious men and religious papers responsible for these views. They have blight the popular conscience by false teachings on i subject. Discarding the doctrines of the ori lal statesmen and early religious teachers of South, who taught that though slavery is a icult practical problem, to be treated with care, is nevertheless a great evil, to be got rid.of as '.edily as possible, the religious guides of South i opinion, in both the pulpit and the press, ■e come to teach that slavery is an essential issing, a perpetual interest, an unalterable Bib mi institution, and that its opposers are enemies ike to the state and the word of God. The >utar inference is inevitable; the fiercest inten ,y of both religious and political prejudice has m excited against all who dare openly or even vately to dissent from. the. new doctrine. A :o of society has set in which has no parallel the history of civilized man; a social condition which the most sacred rights of American citi iship—the right of sojourn, the freedom of sech, the liberty of conscience—are trodden in i dust, and which, if Washington, Jefferson, or ;rick Henry were to appear in the South, known ly by their noble sentiments on slavery, would isign them to the indignities of the mob, to the \geon, or the gallows! Is there a more deplorable spectacle now to seen on tho earth, than the fact that-in the ith millions of American citizens, who have property in slaves, and who cannot bat feet they and their families are degraded by se enormities, have to stand in the presence a few hundred thousand slaveholders, smitten .h dumbness, forced- to connive at, if not ap 'e these villanies; to expose their children iuch debasing examples; to stifle their own iciences and self-respect before them ? Were freemen cast down beneath such a slavery re? TERMS. CLUBS. Can it be possible that pnblic men—-journal ists, politicians, statesmen, religious teachers — expect such a state of things to continue with out a reaction ? It is impossible that any community can en dure them long. They must react. And when that reaction sets in, the rebonnd will have the impetus of irresistible shame and indignation. Public opinion will have an account then to settle with the reckless promoters of these scenes, and will settle it with indignant recol lections which will admit no compromise. CHRISTIAN VERNACULAR EDUCATION SOCIETY EOR INDIA. We have received a circular from England with the significant heading, “in memoriam.” We are happy to lay it before the readers of the Ame rican Presbyterian. ' This Society was founded in May, 1858, as a Memorial Work, and truly Christian revenge on India for the injuries and horrors of the Mutiny, by a united effort of the leading Missionary So cieties and Christians of various evangelical de nominations in Great Britain. Its object is to aid in giving a Christian educa tion to the 180,000,000 of British subjects in India, by training teachers and preparing Christian books in their fourteen mother-tongues. . Ah arrangement has been made with the Secre taries of the Church, Wesleyan, London, Baptist, and Missionary Societies, to select a certain number of their best established schools in Yarious parts of India as vernacular training insti tutions. In virtue of this arrangement, such in stitutions-will be open to pupils of good character who many be willing to avail themselves of the training there, at the charge of the Christian Ver nacular Education Society, irrespective of their religious sentiments, on the honorable understand ing; iu the case of Christians of different denomi nations, that no influence is to be used prejudicial to the interests of any particular society or denomi nation. . By thus working through existing agen cies, the Society will be enabled, to commence, without any delay, and will at the same time draw closer the bonds of Christian love and co operation throughout the Missions and the future native Christian churches of India. Help has already been afforded to the Calcutta Female Normal School, and to a missionary who is training teachers for' the Sontbals. Specimens of all useful books existing in any of the native languages are being collected, and deficiencies will be supplied. Two books of Chris tian reading have been sent to press, and will, it is hoped, soon be transferred by native translators into the different languages. The Society has met with the most warm and cordial reception from all the Evangelical Societies working in India, and from many of the best friends of that country. The American Board of Foreign Missions have expressed their “cordial interest both in the object of the Society, and its plan of operations,” and consider that “it will beCbme an essential aid and relief to the Mission ary Societies laboring to propagate the Gospel ih India.” The Bishop of Calcutta writes, “The objects of the Society have iny hearty sympathy and support, and I hope to tike a warm interest in its proceedings in Calcutta ” Sir John Law rence says, “ I shall be very happy to do all I can to further the views of yonr Society, which seem to be admirable. There can he no question that the field it has selected is sufficiently large to ab sorb all that even the good people of England can do. No better memorial, indeed, of our wonderful and merciful deliverance of last year could be de vised. None, lam sure, which is calculated to do more good among these-deluded people.” Whilst Lord Shaftesbury writes, “Be assured that what ever influence I possess shall be fully given to aid the Christian Vernacular Education Society. The cause is one of the best, happiest, holiest, I ever engaged in.” Two thousand pounds have been collected; and it is hoped that the means of the Society will be made adequate to the great work which it has un dertaken. jpiigtasi fxMiifmu. A Liberal Collection.— -Last Sabbath morning, sayiTthe ‘Journal of Commerce,’ Rev. Dr. Adams, of tfio Madison Square Presbyterian Church, made , ah earnest appeal in behalf of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, the result of which was an impromptu collection of a larger sum than was perhaps ever before taken up in ah Ame rican in this manner, for a similar object. Including a sum gi ven during the previous week, the amount collected was eleven thousand dollars. In his' discourse, Dr. A. briefly alluded, in passing to certain matters relating to the management of the Board* (doubtless referring, among other things, to the abandonment of the Choctaw mission,) which met with his unqualified disapproval; but remarked to the effect that in these days Christian men coaid not stop the work of evangelization to waste their energies in combating each other, and that, if there had been great mistakes, there was so much the more need of exercising greater charity and forbearance. TheTnitailatlon of RevrCharles' S. Robins as paster of the First Presbyterian Church, Henry st, Brooklyn, took place on Tuesday evening, the 20th inst Tho sermon was preached by Rev. L. P, Hio kok, D. D., of Union College; the charge to the pas tor given by Rev. Samuel H. Cox, D. D,; and the charge to the people by Rev. Dr. Hitchcock. This is the church of which Dr. Cox was formerly pastor. Camden. —A new Presbyterian church was orga nized at Camden, New Jersey, on the Ist inst., being a colony from the Rev. Dr. Stewart’s church, and-the fruit of his and his people’s efforts to meet the grow ing wants of that city. A very neat church building has been provided for the new enterprise, and the Rev. L. C. Baker was ordained and installed as its pastor on the day of the organization. The venerable Rev. Dr. Nott, who has been spend ing some time in Philadelphia, for the benefit of his health, left last week to return home. For one so far advanced in years, he retains a good degree of activity, whilst his mental powers seem to he unim paired. . Fifteen persons were added to the communion of the Clinton street chureh (Rev. Mr. Darling’s) last Sabbath... Five persons were added on profession the same day to the Western Church, Rev. Dr. Smith’s. The Presbytery of Des Moines, lowa, held its semi-annual meeting at Swede Point. John C. Er ving, minister, and John G. Weeks, elder, were chosen commissioners to the General Assembly. During its sessions, Presbytery installed Rev. Fisk Harmon, pastor of the First Presbyterian Chureh, Swede point, and ordained William M. Kain as our Evangelist. Brother Kain goes from the Bar to the Pulpit. Some two years since, his attention was called to the great work of the gospel ministry by one of our brethren; after much prayer and self-ex amination, he applied and was taken under the care of Presbytery. Having labored with much accep tance as a Licentiate for a year, at the recent meet ing he was set apart to the full work of the Gospel ministry. Thompson Bird, Des Moines, lowa, March 12,1860. The Southern Churches and Slavery.— The last Central Presbyterian instances the following speci men, to indicate the method by which the Southern Churches benefit, spiritually, the African race:— “The Presbytery of Roanoke, Virginia, has ad dressed a pastoral letter, on the instruction of the colored people, to the churches under its care, and ordered the same to be read in all the churches of the Presbytery. It commences by saying: ‘Among the important interests of the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, which have claimed our special atten- Jiiiinifiur §?£folrgtniatt and (Smjsvf duaaijjelijst. tions since the organization of the Presbytery in April last—that the work of the Lord may be vigor ously and efficiently carried forward within our hounds —the religious instruction of the colored people is hardly to be placed second to any other.' “In the Presbytery of Charleston, South Carolina, 1737 out of 2,889 members, or considerably over one half are colored. In fhe whole Synod of South Caro lina, 5,000 out of 13,074, are colored members.- The Presbyteries of Mississippi and Central Mississippi, of Tuscaloosa and South Alabama, of Georgia, of Concord and Fayetteville, also show how many churches with, large proportions of colored communi cants, from one-third to one-seventh of the whole. In the above mentioned bodies, there are 9,076 colored, out'of 33,668 communicants. Among the churches of these Presbyteries, we find twenty with an aggregate colored membership of 3,600, or an average of 130 to each.” * The Southern Christian Advocate, (Charleston,) contains an able appeal'to the Methodist Church, South, to bear a prominent part in support of Mis sions in Africa. What that branch of the Church is doing for their slaves at home, may be inferred from the fact that their statistics, of last year give 163,206 as the number of their colored members. The Central Presbyterian adds:— These are not isolated or exceptional oases. Every branch of the Church, in every part of the South, is manifesting a like spirit, and with like results. And in this way the grace of God is solving the “African problem.” A True Home Missionary.— 2%e Christian Instructor, of March 21st, says:—Ten yeara since there was a little town id the mountainous regions of this state, which had about six hundred inhabi tants, but not a single church or house of worship, nor, so far as known, a single individual in it who made any pretences to personal religion. About that time a lady who resided there, was called to visit some friends in the West, and during her absence was thrown under religious influences, which resulted in her serious conversion as she believed. Imme diately her heart became interested in the spiritual state of the place of her residence, and she returned to it determined by the grace of God enabling her, to undertake something on its behalf. Accordingly she spoke to several, but received no encouragement, but was rather repulsed. At length she resolved upon commencing a Sabbath School. While walking to her place the first morning, she met the gentleman who now made this statement, and told him her purpose, but he too discouraged her. She however went on, had two scholars that day, the next Sabbath six,- and before the summer was closed one hundred and sixty. Shortly after the school was well started, the -public began to be in terested, many became personal inquirers after Christ, a minister and regular preaching were sought, and now as the population has steadily increased, and religious duties have been persisted in, there are five organfzed churches in that place, three Sabbath Schools with about six. hundred children in them, and six young men have gone from that place and from this effort into the Christian ministry. What a result from a small beginning! What a blessing upon even an humble effort put forth for Christ and for bouls. Dear Reader, cannot you-go and do something for your Saviour and for the souls of your fellow-men? They are perishing. Who, who will strive to have them saved? Will not yob? Accession.—ln New York city, recently, the North west Presbyterian church, in 50th st., received 74 new members; forty-three upon confession of their faith in Christ, and thirty-one by letters from sister churches. Some nine or ten of these, mostly wives and mother were publicly baptized. Foreign. 2 he Heathen and Mohammedans in ' London. —While London sends fifty or sixty mis sionaries to heathen lands every year, it is only lately that attention has been drawa to the five thousand, irestheirand’Mohammedans lmng in London. They have come hither as sailors, its servants and nurses to English families returning from remote countries,' and in other ways. Yot nearly all these foreigners sink down, in London, into far greater wretchedness —into far more dreadful depths of sin, tjhan in their own country. Their dwellings are in the vilest haunts of vice in the public streets, and, above all, in the poor-houses, jails, and hospitals. Within a few years an institution has been founded which is known by the name of “The Home of the Foreign er, a Refuge for Asiatics, Africans and South Sea Islanders, in London.” Its object is to furnish the stranger food and lodging at a price merely sufficient to keep the establishment in operation, i. e., some what less than two dollars a week. It receives their money and other property under its care, protects its guests from imposition, and seeks places for them on Bhipboard, so that they may return to their own country. It also provides them with the Holy Scrip tures ,in tbeir own tongue. 884 were provided for in the house, and 857 more furnished with lodgings out of the house, in one year. The Bible is regularly read and explained to them by Evangelical teach- ers. Tor"two yearB~past and more, the City Mission has also had a special laborer among this class of the po pulation, so far as they are not under the care of the Refuge. This person has applied himself diligently to the acquisition of the Persian, Arabic, Malay and Hindostanee languages, having a higher, though hum bler, motive than the mere scholar, and’in ten months visited twenty-five hundred Asiatics, and received in return no less than 1095 visits from them. His work is much like that of a foreign missionary in its trials and successes. And he sometimes meets with those who have heard the missionary in their own land, and who are astonished to meet him in London, too. Benevolent Labors of De Wette and his Wi dow. —A special fund for the relief of the widows of evangelical clergy of Moravia, was founded by the late Professor De Wette, of Basle, in connexion with the Geneva Society for the support of scattered Pro testants. More than a year since De Wette’s widow took ajourney into this province to acquaint herself by actual observation with the wants of its Protestant population: according to her account, since pub lished, the condition of the clergy and their widbwß, is, in many instances, truly pitiable; the latter being sometimes compelled to betake thbmselves to menial pursuits for aliving. One of the Rothschilds, Israelite though he was, had come to the assistance of a church in very needy circumstances by a contribution of 250 francs—an act of liberality which Madame De Wette holds up to the imitation of Protestant Christians. Algiers. —The Special Field of Labor of the Basle Protestant Aid Society is Algiers, where the Romish priests seek in every way to interfere with the scat tered little communities of evangelical Christians. Nevertheless, through the undaunted zeal of the pas tor, Duerr, the cause of Protestantism has been con stantly gaining in that country. The schools iu Blida contain 500, those in Bona 2000, and the Orphan Houses at Delhi-Ibrahim 123 children of evangelical families. The Evangelist Justor has succeeded in gathering a little church of Spanish Protestants at Oran. At their first communion, last Easter, forty two Spaniards took part. But the outward condition of the new converts is a sad one, as they were obliged to renounce the situations they previously held, upon forsaking the Romish faith. Stated Clerk. Micronesia.— New Hatsen, March 16a, 1860. Friends of the Micronesian Mission:—the Morning Star, on her late return to the Sandwich Islands, brought good news from that region, especially from my son at Apaiang, whose letters were forwarded by the SandwielrJslands’ Post-office Department to San Francisco, and thence to us by the U. S. Overland Mail. He had commenced the translation of the New Testament; some of the people were reading Christ's sermon on the mount. A church has been erected, twenty feet by forty, at Kuinaua, near his residence, where the king and seventy or eighty others assemble from Sabbath to Sabbath, to hear the gospel from his lips-in their own language. They have thrown down their principal stone idol, and rolled it into the lagoon, saying,—“Jehovah alone is God.” Mrs. Bingbak j teaches a small school of children. My son had recently made a missionary tour through the Island of Tarawa, whence the sa vage invaders came agam£t_4p»iang, February 18, 1858. He was kindly received, preached in over SO villages to' some sixteen hundred, or one half of the people, and called himself quite happy in his work. He had a request from the -e&iefs for a missionary to reside among them. Who will go ? Let us thank God and take courage. “The isles shall wait for His law.” Yours-truly, fjfttt* »f tfcf Wttk A bill has passed to a third reading, in the New York Senate, giving to the members for life and stock-holders of any benevolent charitable scientific or missionary coiporatton or association the right to vote by proxy at the annual meetings of such asso ciations for the election of officers, and also ou all questions of the subject matter of which notice shall have been givfen and entered upon the minutes at the preceding- anniversary meSto&g of .tho association. The bill was reported the Senate by the Committee on Charitable-fisd Religious Associa tions, and will be likely to become a law, taking im mediate effect. • \ Six years since a lady at jjTortli Sandwich,. New Hampshire, swallowed accidentally a needle. The needle was a shoe needle, and a little over an inch long. She was considerably alarmed at the time, but not feeling any inconvenience Jfrora it, the circum stance in time passed completely from her memory. A few days since, however, she felt a pricking sensa tion in her foot, and in the coutee of time the needle was taken from the outer side Of her foot, near the little toe joint—the wound soon healing without giving her any trouble. ] The English papers mention a dinner and dessert service belonging to a right reverend bishop, which cost $6O ,000. Such a “service” would have asto nished those primitive bishops jyho lived on locusts wild honey, and fed the multitude on few loaves and fewer fishes.

An interesting discussion of , the Savoy question was had in the House of Commons on the 2d ihst. Lord John Russell said, as far as he knew, there was no treaty in existence between Franc e and Sardinia providing for the annexation of Savoy. As the Emperor Nlpoleon states that he will not pro. ceed to the annexation without consulting the great powers, Lord John believes that Franco will not at tempt it, if the Powers are unanimously opposed to it. The French Legislative Assembly opened on the Ist. instant. The Emperor, in his speech to the Assembly, expresses the most sincere desire for the maintenance of peace; rijoices at the amicable rela tions with all the European Powers, and hopes for a speedy peace with Cochin China, and the just chas tisement of the Chinese for their-perfidy. The Ein peror also hopes that the Italian arcapproaeh-. ing a settlement, anil says that he has advised the King of Sardinia that Tuscany must tfot be annexed, but that the wishes of the other Itili&n provinces maybe entertained, provided the rights of- the Holy See are respected in principle. The safety of the Freneh frontiers, he adds, requires the annexation of Savoy, and he hopes that frank explanations of the question will cause the great powers to recognize the justice of the claim. He professes astonishment at the agi tation of the Catholic world, and points to his efforts on behalf of the Pope. The French army has been reduced by 150,000 men, ana wouia oe rurtner reduced but for the Chinese war, and. the Italian occupation. Heooncludes by referring to the new free-trade policy, and predicting the most favorable results. The Em peror’s speech is largely discussed by the London journals—most of them condemn the policy of. the Emperor. Lord Palmerston has received a memorial from Irish Catholics, asking his influence in main taining the integrity of the Papal dominions. The English papers publish an appeal to the Christians throughout the world, sigued by the • colored exiles from Arkansas, who protest in the strongest possible terms against the system-whicbdoqms them either to banishment or slavery.,..

It appears that the steamer General Miramon, of Marini’s Havana Expedition, has arrived at New Or leans, as a United States prize, in charge of Lieute nant Robert D. Minor, of the sloop-of-war Preble. The prize left Vera Cruz on the 13th of March. The particulars or grounds of her capture ore not an nounced. It appears, however, that'the city of Vera Cruz was besieged by Miramon on the sth of March, and that he bad announced his intention of cannon ading the city on the night of the seventh of this month. The attack was made, but it was repulsed by the Liberals. ■ The only other item of information is that the Preble would on the ‘l4tfiyinstant sail for New Orleans, probably Fe deral Administration. . - A still later despatch Bays that the steamer Mar quez, another vessel of the Havana expedition, is be low New Orleans as a prize, in charge of Lieutenant Chapman, of the sloop-of-war Saratoga, which cap tured, also, the General Miramon. Both vessels were taken off Anton Lizardo, on the- Oth instant, after a brief action and with a slight loss of life. The Mar quez has some of the prisoners on board, and the re mainder will be brought by the Preble. Lieutenant Chapman is bearer of despatches to Washington. The Exequatur of the American Consul has been re voked. Miramon, it is said, holds Alvarado, while the Liberals have surrounded the city of Mexico. The conduct of the American squadron has caused great excitement at Vera Cruz. ; The French and Spanish residents bitterly denounce it.. Governor Stewart has vetoed the bill expelling free negroes from Missouri. This is'kSStantially the same bill that was vetoed by the Governor at the last session of the Missouri Legislature.

Poetasters, —'the editors of the Protestant Church man and the New York Observer, are comparing notes on their early efforts at making poetry. Their object seems to be to convince that very large proportion of the contributors to every paper who write poetry, that real merit in tßis line of composition is a thing more difficult of attainment than many suppose; and to suggest, we dare say, that a man may win a handle to his name-withoot either poetical ability or emi nence. The Churchman -editor says: “ We never succeeded in making more than one verse, and that verse, when made, cured us of the ambition. If the vast multitudes of our poetizers had allowed the same medicine to work its proper effect, the world would not have been the loser.” 11. Bingiiah. The editor of the Observer calls for that “one verse,” and as an encouragement to his neighbor gives some of his own experience: > “When a mere, boy, a sister challenged us to. wijte poetry, and it was agreed that one of us;should write two lines, and the other follow with two more, and so on, till the new poem was completed. With trembling hand we took the pen and wrote: She insisted that we should complete the verse so auspicously begun, and after much contention we were compelled to proceed to the end of the stanza, when it read: Once on a time my sis and I Sat down to write some poetry, But to and fro our idees fly From vani tee to vanity. From that day to this, some forty years, our idees have taken the same direction whenever we have at tempted.a similar enterprise. Advertising Sermons.— The editor of the Chris tian Intelligencer gives the following amusing and somewhat striking incident: “We had, on a recent visit to a village not very far distant from this city, a somewhat novel and striking exhibition of the manner in which the busi ness of advertising sermons is viewed by those not familiar with _city devices. It was in this wise:— While conversing with a clerical friend, he suddenly inquired, with a sympathetic expression of counte nance, ‘How are the brethren in distress getting on in New York?’ We, of course, desired an explana tion of his question. He replied by saying, ‘ That the people in the country were under the impression that those clergymen in the city who were in the ha bit of advertising the topics of their discourses every Saturday morning were sadly distressed for the want of regular hearers, and that they could not get on well unless they threw out bait.’ ” - Twenty Years an Editor— Dr. Stevens, of the Advocate and Journal, after nearly twenty years of editorial life, recently gave the following estimate of probabilities in regard to communications being read. Correspondents, whose two, three and four column articles are slumbering in our pigeon-holes, will please accept it as a full explanation of their non appearance: “A communication which is a fourth of a column long, is read by most readers, unless its subject is manifestly repulsive; over half a column long, is read by half our readers; a column long, by a third of them; a two column article, by not one tenth; a three or four column one, by nobody what ever, except the wearied editor and his proof-reader, and the few who may have a personal or very special concern in the article.” Signs of tlie Times — Dr. Camming, the famous Scotch preacher of London, has recently stated in a public lecture at Leeds, (England,) his opinions re specting the great events which, according to his in terpretation of the Book of Daniel and the Apocalypse, are looming in the future. He said the year 1867 seemed tq. end 6,000 years Of the world's-history, afrd from the earliest periods onward it had been the almost universal belief that the six days of creation were typical of the millennial re3t of those 6,000 years, and that the seventh day of creation, or’the Sabbath, was typical of the millennial rest of 1,000 years. But they would say that, supposing this were so, they were at this moment 140 years short of the 6 ,000 years. It was a remarkable fact, however, that the ablest chro ♦ologists, irrespective of all prophetic theories, had shown that a mistake of upwards of 100 years had been made in calculating the chronology of the world; and that the year 1860 of the Christian era began not from the year 4004 of the world’s history, but in the year 4138, and that the year of Christ’s birth was five years before that, or in 4132. If his premises were just, then they were at that moment within seven years ’of the exhaustion of the 6,000 years'; so that if 1867 were to be the termination of this economy, they had arrived at the Saturday evening of the world’s long and dreary week. If this were so, it was a magniff cent thought that there were some in that assembly who would never die. They were just plunging into the days such as they had never before seen; a Euro pean war was looming more dreadful than that th rough which they had recently passed, and when these things happened it would be seen that the sentiments he ut tered were not the dreams of fanaticism, but the words of soberness and truth. The Atmosphere on Revivals— The Rev. Mr. Edgar said in One of his discourses, that a London Medical Journal had attributed the religious excite ment in Ireland to the state of the atmosphere; said the Dr.. “If such happy results as we have witnessed, tlm reformation of great sinners, the breaking up of whisky selling, the abandonment of profaneness and Sabbath-breaking, are to follow the excitements, we wish that the thermometer and barometer may con tinue to stand as they do now.” HOPKINS—KERR—Married on the Ist inst., by, the .Rev.

McCamllish and Miss Martha H. Phelps. Died at Middleport, N. Y., February 10, Mr. John Vannortwick, aged 48 years. WYLIE.—Died, at Milton, Pennsylvania, onSabbatb, 26th February, after a lingering and painful illness, Mrs. Sarah Murray W yi.ie, in the thirty-fourth year of her wife of the Rev; W. T. Wylie of that place, and eldest daughter of L. Johnson, Esq., of Philadelphia. The truly consistent Christian character of the de ceased must he the apology for a passing tribute to her memory. As a child, Sarah Murray Johnson-was somewhat re markable. Of a buoyant, cheerful disposition, her bright face, speaking ’eye, and merry, ringing laugh, rendered her a universal favorite. Her home influences and edu cation were such as to, impress truth on her mind, and make it a prominent trait in her character in after life. She was educated in Philadelphia by Professor Cleveland, under whose judicious training her naturally strong mental powers were developed. In' this Seminary strong friendships were formed with persons of lovely and decided Christian character, which proved the main instrumentality in leading her to devote herself, at the early-age of fourteen, to the service of her divine Sa viour.. These friendships continued through life, and were sources of high and holy enjoyment and improve ment. Under the pastoral care and teaching of the Rev. Albert Barnes, as well as in the Sabbath-School of the First Presbyterian Church, her Christian character de veloped rapidly, and attained a strength and maturity quite unusual in one so young. She lived as well as prqfessed Christianity, and her influence as a decided follower of Jesus was felt in whatever circle she moved. . As a daughter, love, obedience, and a ready appreci ation of the duties growing out of this relation, were eminently characteristic of her. As a sister, her loving demeanor and consistent walk were powerful for good among her numerous brothers and sisters; and the re sults of her incessant; labfflr for their spiritual and intel lectual warfare eternity alone can determine. As a wife and mother, the qualities of her head and heart shone out most conspicuously. Herself consecrated to the Lord, she was ever ready to join her husband in every work and labor of love to .which his office as a pastor called him. The judicious traiuing of her children was not neglected, even during the long and painful illness which God called her to endure. Amid the pains of the body, which at times were almost beyond human endurance, she was never known to 'murmur or suffer a hasty word to escape her lips. . While she manifested, during her protracted suffer ings, an entire resignation to the Divine will, her love of life was strong and. vigorous. Surrounded by all that was calculated to make life desirable and happy, the warm affections which God had given her having- Once on a time my sis ami I Sat down to write some poetry. jHarriogrs.

Not I, but grace that dwelleth in me. *' * « * “There has been much conflict To stand on the brink of that great, awful, unknown eternity—to part with life, so full of love, and hope, and joy—my hus band and my children, dearer than life; it seems to me I was permitted to see and feel it ali while my mind was clear and senses unimpaired; but in the greatest dark ness the light of the Star of Bethlehem was not hid. And now-that light* for the most part, seems to illumine all. God manifest in the flesh,’ from the beginning to the end of the Bible, from the beginning to the end of every part of our souls, seems to supply and compre hend all. And then, c As thou* Father, art in me, and I m thee, that they also may be one in us,’ seems the pledge, as it is the foretaste of heavenly intercourse and communion between those who love Christ here. 59 • k® r lasthour—the hour of dissolution—she breathed into the ear of her loving parent, who was, in the good pro vidence of God, watching by the bed-side of his suf fering child, « All is peace.” To a beloved friend she said—and they were her last words—« Love to all.” She closed her eyes, and calmly.feU asleep in Jesus. Thus has passed from earth one of the purest, bright est, and most consistent illustrations of Christian faith and practice which it has been the privilege of the writer to know. Her example will live long .on the earth. “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.” “She rests from her labors,and her works do follow her - ’ M. JSfattoriatit. : JAMES 0. DONNELL, I DIED MARCH 11, 1860, JBt. 69. “ Multis itte bonis JlebiUs occiiit,” “By many good men wept—he died!” . The world may well sorrow when a good man dies, for he is a rarity. Of how few it is said, when the word swiftly passes from friend to friend, « He is gone!”—as was truly said of him whose name appears on this page, “he was a good man!” Few as is their number over whose grave the world reverently whispers this eulogy, of none could it be more fittingly uttered, than of him whose sudden decease has thrown a gloom over the circle of friendship in which he moved—over the church where his counsel and example were cherished-i-over the community In which for forty years he has honestly though unostentatiously passed his days. This is not the place, nor the time, so soon after our loss to dwell qn the gentle virtues of the dead. It would be but to increase our selfish regrets for the absence of one, who we are assurresl, now enjoys the blissful fruits of a well spent life. But we cannot refrain from referring to the high integrity, the stern conscientiousness, the liberal spirit, the Christian charity, the gentle piety of the de parted. To the young—and the writer grateful ly though sorrowfully records this trait—he was ever kind, sympa thizing and helpful, many such—some of them perhaps now grown to manhood-mindful of his many kind nesses, will drop a tear upon his grave. His death was a fitting termination to his life. He laid down on the Sabbath Eve, and calmly passed away>‘ Many friends noticed a remarkable attention on his part to the dis courses preached on that day in the ehurch.of which from its origin he had been a member and officer—the Calvary Church. And it Is affecting to remember that Abe last sermon to which he listened was one in which the firmness of the Christian’s hope, and the triumph of the Christian’s faith were beautifully set forth. “ This hope we have as an anchor of the soul sure and stead fast” were the last words that quivered on the lips and soothed the dying spirit of this Christian believer; and we doubt not that this anchor on which he trusted through life, was, broken bat to allow him to drift into a haven of endless rest. j. jg. j NOTICES.
