The Pastor and the Sabbath School.—A cor respondent of the S. S. Times, speaking of the pros perous condition of the Sabbath school of the First Church, St. Louis, says: One of the most precious influences enjoyed by our school, comes from the active sympathy and co-ope ration with our pastor, the Rev. Henry A. Nelson, D. D., whose unwearied care for "the lambs of the flocks," is one of the most loveable and endearing traits of his charter. Not only does he spare, from the demands of pulpit and people," time for sug- , gestion, supervision, and encouragement, in our regu lar sessions, but on every fourth Sabbath in the month the school is assembled in, the church to hear the "monthly sermon to children," a feature which has become as much an "institution" with us as any of the observances of the sanctuary.

If subscribers order the discontinuance of their periodicals, the publisher may continue to send them until all arrearages are paid. 8. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals froth the office to which they are directed they are held responsible till they have settled the bill, and ordered them discontinued. -- 4. If subscribers remove to other places With out informing the publishers, and the papers are sent to the former direetion; they are held re sponsible. 6. The courts have decided that refusing to take periodicals from the office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of in tentional fraud. 6.

OUR OWN CHURCH. Rev. Dr. Ezra B. Ely,—An intimation was given in a daily newspaper, that Rev. Dr. Ezra S. Ely had recovered his health in some good degree. Rejoicing to hear this, I called a few days since to see him, when I was astonished to find him a perfect wreck, both in body and mind. He is, in many respects, helpless as a babe ; and it requires the attention of two persons to take proper care of him. Ile can scarcely utter a word distinctly; and that fluency of speech, for which he was so remarkable, is gone for ever. As very many of the clergymen, in the days of his prosperity, enjoyed his unbounded hospitality, I thought they would like to know how it is with him now. lie is, for the expo part, submissive and resigned, sometimes even 4heerful, always glad to see hit friends ; but alas, many of those, who called them selves such, never even tall to inquire for him now I He is a great .burden to his family, but by the anxious care of a devoted wife, he is made comforta ble. How mysterious are the ways of God l—Cor. Presbyterian. Presbyterian ITnion.—Under this caption, the Tribune, of Chicago, (secular,) mentions, with plea sure, the fact, that the "week of prayer" was ob served in that city, by the Presbyterian churches, Old and New School, uniting in their services, and says: " So far as we know, this is the first time such a service has been held since the division of the As sembly in 1838, and it gives us pleasure to netioe, that the churches of Chicago have had Independence, shall we add, piety, enough to unite in such a meeting. The services were led alternately by the clergymen of the different churches, and on Wednesday evening Dr. Rice preached one of the ablest and most practi cal sermon s it was — ever our good fortune to hear. The meetings were fully attended, and were cha racterized throughout by a kind and deeply devo tional spirit, and if they have no other effect, will produce a better understanding, and more fraternal spirit, among those who attended them. The inci dent shows that great'-Christian progress has been made since 1854, when both General Assemblies be ing then in session in POiladeiphia, ene of them re fused to engage in communion services with the other, and it marks the approach of the day when no clumsy adjectives will be necessary to Amerika the Presbyter= church." Presbyterian of our Union (0. S.) The Presbytery of Minnesota met at St. Paul, January 15th. Rev. W. 3. klrdmarp, (late of Reading, Pa.,) now supplying the pulpit of the House of Hope, St. Paul i was present. Rev. Marcus Hicks was appointed Commissioner to the General Assembly; Rev. John Mattocks, Al ternate. Elder 0, Lyman, of Stillwater, was appointed Lay Conamisslorter, and Eider W. L. Wilson, of St. Paul, Alternate. The subject of a Synodical Missionary, to labor within the . 'bounds of the Synod of Minnesota, was introduced and diseussed, and referred to a commit tee, consisting of Rev. J. Mattocks and Elder H. M. Knox. The committee made the following report, which was unanimously adopted: " avingbeard the Rev. J. M.Williams, we are deeply impressed with the necessity of the appointment of a Synodical Missionary. We feel that the interests of our church in Minnesota demand an itinerating mis sionary; that it is indispensable to the nurturing into strength our feeble churches, and the formation of new churches at points not otherwise occupied by churches of our common Calvinistic faith. We express our con fidence that such Missionary laber would greatlY ad vance the interestsof our particular church, and the.ge•,. neral Church of Christ in the State. We oleo express our confidence in the fitness of Rev. J. M. Williams, now of Florence, in this State, for this particular field of labor. And we pledge this Presbytery to sympa thize and co•operate with him, whenever he shall have become a member of the Synod of Minnesota." The Presbyterial Comutittee of Domestic Missions, is composed of Revs. J. Mattooks,.E. D. Neil, 0,11. Pond, and Elder H. M. Knox. After a free conversation on the subject of religion, with reports from the Churches, the Committee on Narratives, by Rev. Marcus Hicks, presented the fol lowing narrative of the State of Religion: The past year has been a year of trial to the stead fastness of our faith. There hae been no outpouring of the Spirit upon our Churches. The small num- OTHER BRANCHES OF THE PRESBYTE RIAN CHURCH. A Large Bequest—ln the midst of dark times, we are glad this week to be able to state that our church has received a large bequest in the last week by the death of a brother in'K.entucky, whose name we have not learned. He has willed his estate to the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. From what we loam, it will not fall short of thirty thousand dollars. The fact has transpired so recently that we have not learned any particulars of the will, or what direction is given by the donor to his bounty.

Some forty have been already hopefully converted, and others are'inquiring. In Georgetown, Mercer county., Pa., the church has been greatly revived, and quite a. number have given evidence of conversion to God. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Shields ' is. reatly encouraged. The church at Tuscarora, Pa., Rev. G. W. Thomp son, D. D., Pastor, is experiencing a time of ,refresb rng from the Lord; there have been over one hundred and fifty inquirers. A large number of these are from the admirable schools of that place.. At Pine Grove church, Rev. S. M. Moore, pastor, there are fourteen inquirers. We also learn from the Presbyterian Herald that the church (0. S.) at Daniille, Kentucky, is now en joying a precious work of grace: About one hundred persons have come forward to ask an interest in the prayers of God's people. The meeting was continued from the week,of prayer, and has constantly increased in interest up to the present time. All the institu tions and the whole country participate alike in this interest. Presentation "to 'a Pastor.—Rev. Robert Arm strong, pastor of the Fifth United Presbyterian Church, of this city, has accepted a call from the United Presbyterian congregation of Newburgh, N. Y.'

Dr. Itodge'a Article on the State of the Conn try.—A correspondent of the Louisville (Kentucky) Pres& Herald says: "As to the article of Dr. Hodge, of which the Central Presbyterian complains so bitterly, I have to say, I regard it the fullest, fairest, ablest article I have yet seen on the state of the country. And lam as out and out a Southern man as anybody; and I am in interest, blood and feeling, as much identified with the history and welfare, both of Virginia and Kentucky, as any man can be. And I, too, sat three years at the feet of Dr. Hodge. And if I ever saw a man that bad the "spirit of Christ," Charles Hodge is that man; and I see nothing in that article to change my views on that subject. The excited pao ple seem to be willing to endure nothing which is not all on their side. Not a syllable must be Con ceded to the other side." Rev. Dr. Leyburn.—lt will be a matter of gene ral concern to hear through a letter from this gentle man, published in the last Presbyterian, that not far from Jericho, "he fell among thieves, who stripped him," It appears that he and Mr. Low, from Min-. nesota, had gone from Jerusalem down to the Dead Sea. On the 27th of December, soon after bathing in the Jordan, they were suddenly attacked by a party of nine armed Bedouin Arabs from the mountains of Moab, robbers of the very worst class. They were stripped of nearly, all their clothing, and their joint loss was six or seven hundred dollars, that of Mr. Low being much the greater.--Ceatral Presbyterian Herald. REPORNED DUTCH. Rev. Dr. Henry H. Scudder and family arrived safely at Madras, after a not unpleasant passage, on the 10th of December last. BAPTIST. .Owning Christ ' s. Minister.—The Augusta (Ga.) papers notice the death of Rev. Kelly Low, a colored Baptist minister that city; who was held in gene ral esteem, and whose funeral was attended by a large concourse, of white citizens. The owner of the deceased preacher . n eays he was raised in his family, and, was owned by him for twenty-five years, and that he knew him to be as near a perfect man " as any I have ever known, of any color. Indeed, I have al ways viewed Jain _without spot or blemish in charac ter and disposition, beidaning even in , his youth, and continuing up to the day of his death." NAM JerSey.—The Minutes of the Convention show that there ,are in the .State one hundred and twenty Baptist churches, with ninety-six pastors and seventeen thou Sand one hundred and thirty-one mem bers.

New York.—The Minutes of the Convention give a list of eight hundred and twenty-eight Baptist churches in the'State, with seven hundred and sixty three ministers, one hundred and three licentiates, and ninety-throe thousand two hundred and three members. The baptisms within the year were three thousand eight hundred and eighty-five. Song of Songs.—The book critic of the Boston WaEckman and Reflector regards Dr. Burrowes' commentary on this song as a failure, and declares the. external evidence for the canonical authority of the book to be insufficient. As to the internal evi dence, he has a host of difficulties. 6ERNAN REFORMED: A Union Church.—The new church edifice, built jointly by the German Reformed and Lutheran con gregations in Harrison county, Indiana, was dedi cated to the service of God, on Sunday, the 30th ultimo. • A Pastorate of a Quarter of a Century.—Last Sabbath the Rev.

City Rail Road Fares.—The vexed question re specting city railroad fares was finally decided after a long controversy, in which it looked, at one time, as if two systems were about to he-put in practice upon the roads. The - companies unani mously agreed to keel) the old rates, so that single rides will cost five, and double rides, or exchange tickets, seven n eents. This policy is to exist for one year from the 9th of February. The Coldest Day of the Winter.—At six o'clock on the morning of Friday the Bth, the thermome ter marked a temperature of one degree below zero, which was lower, by one degree, than on the morning of the 13th of January, the coldest day up to that period. By twelve o'clock yesterday, the weather had only slightly moderated, the mercury being then but six degrees above zero. The change from noon on Thursday to six o'clock the morning after, was very unusual, even for our variable latitude. In the twelve hours the mercury fell 47i degrees, at the rate of nearly four degrees an hour.

In this position his great legal learning, his impartiality and popular manners, have secured for him a high repu tation and hosts of friends. He was formerly a mem ber of both houses, of the New York LegAlature, and was a distinguished member of the Constitutional Convention of 1846. He was, at Me time, Chancel lor of the University at Rochester, and is at present Profesaor in The Law School, at Albany.

One of the scenes is thus described by the Erie Gazette: ' The next one, by a portion of the Wayne Guards under Capt McLane, entitled "The Spirit of 1861," • and: representing Major. Anderson raising the Ame rican Flag over Fort Sumter, was greeted by storms of applause—the ladies uniting with the gentlemen in paying homage to the glorious stars and - stripes, unfurled by the heroic Anderson before a revolting and rebellious city. A call for three cheers t‘ias - most heartily responded to, evincing a becoming apprecia tion, both-0 the scene and the. patriotic . spiiiiinent expressed. • • ,STATE OF THE COUNTRY. THE VIRGINIA ELEOTION.--Seward's View of it— Aro Troops needed in Washington.—Wash,ington, Feb. sth.—The results of the Virginia election have ever joyed.the friends of the Union. They now say that we have grounds for negotiation and amicable settle ment. While the border States kept up a sort of sympathy with secession, they were received with distrust. If they really mean Union, they will• be met half way at least. Mr. Seward, with his characteristic hope and con. : fidence,,is particularly pleased with the result.. He proneunces the Union safe e and that all the border States will follow the example of the Old Dominion. Seward also says that the work of the Border Confe rence is as good as done. There is even no longer need of keeping any Federal troops at the capital. Virginia and Maryland will themselves protect the seat of government.

FORT SUMTER.--The - Women and children have all been sent away.; they reached Now" York on the fith lust; the lei,test official intelligence on the subject of this interesting point is the reply of Secretary Holt' to certain Senators who were endeavoring to mediate between South Carolina and the United States Go vernment. He says, January 22: "As regards an' assurance that no reinforcements be sent to Fort Semter, it is impossible for me to give you any such assurances. The President has no authority to enter into any such an agree ment, or understanding. As an Executive officer, he is simply bound to protect the public property, so far as this trey be practicable—and it would be a manifest violation of his duty to place himself under engagements that he would not perform this duty, either for an indefinite - or a liinited period. At the present - moment it is not deemed necessary to rein force Major Anderson, because he makes no such re quest, and feels quite secure in his position. Should his safety, however, require reinforcements, every ef fort will be made to supply them." Foirr DELAWARE.--This is an unfinished work of the first class, in the Delaware Bay, about 40 miles south of Philadelphia.

One bour after the order was re- ceivecl, they were on the way, via Jeriey City, to their destination, each man armed with his rifle and twenty-five rounds of ball cartridge." BRIGHT NEWS FROM ARKANS6S.—SORatOT Sebastian, of Arkansas, who has refused to attach his name to any of the Disunion documents issued by other of the Southern Senators. and Representatives for the pur pose of influencing their States to withdraw from the Union, has lately received the most gratifying intel ligenee from his State, to the effect that Arkansas will remain true to' the Constitution and the laws— and not follow the bad example of her neighbor, Louisiana. ' THE Anus SEIZED iQ NEW Yomr.—The Governor of Georgia has demanded of Governor Morgan the arms destined for Georgia, and seized on a vessel in the harbor of New York.. Governor Morgan has replied by letter to the Go vernor of Georgia, taking the ground that as the arms were destined to be used to subvert the Government which his official oath binds him to sustain, he could not, so far as he had any control, permit arms to leave this State which might be turned against our own citizens. THE SOUTHERN CONYEDERACY.--The Convention of seceding States at Montgomery, Alabama, have adopted the Constitution of the United States almost in terms as the Constitution for their new Confede, racy. They have also determined to adopt the pep- Hoy of free trade and direct taxation in opposition to the method used by this government for the purpose CITY. This regarded of obtaining a revenue. , r This step is in Washington as fatal to their hopes of securing the cooperation of the Bordexislave States, as the people of Tennessee, Kentucky, mad the other interior slave States would never submit to direct taxation. The Convention also appropriated one million dollars to voi) meet the expenses of the Provisional Government.

[Applause.] When 'I came.here, be added, I took' an oath to maintain therConstitution of the United States. What does this mean? Does it not mean the Union of the States, if I understand it right? By that oath I shall stand:' Whenever in structed 'by my immediate Constituents, and asked by them to withdraw myself froth this House, their wishes shall be complied with as soon as I receive the infor mation. 'I shall, however, not only withdraw but re sign my seat; but after I do so; I .shall continue to be a Union man, and stand under the flag of the country that gave me birth. [Long continued, ap plause on the floor And the" galleries, intermingled with cries of "good 1"] All;the rest of the delegation withdrew formally. The House concurred in the action of the Committee of the Whole on the Senate's' amendment , to the Deficiency bill, rejecting the Chili' qui amendment, and agreeing to the appropriation of $13.5,000 to buy Wendell's printing office. WEDNESDAY, Fat 6th.— ATE.—The Deficiency r bill was received, ith the use amendments. The Senate agreed to insist up, 'their own amendment, and recommend that a co ittee of conference be appointed. A bill:was rep' " 'ad and laid over, pro viding for the better organization of the militia in the District of Columbia. Mr. Johnson completed his speech. . Houss.—The bill relative to the postal service was called up and passed. The . bill - gives the Postmaster General power to stop a post office, post route, or part of a post route, when be may think that the postal I laws may not be maintained. The;revenues collect ed on the contents of, the mail remain inviolate until it rcachee its -proper address. Trtuasnav,7th.—Szobilz.---On the President's mes sage, a violent and characteristic speech was made by Mr. Wigfall, of Texas. Certainly it goes far to reconcile unto secession to know that it will relieve our national councils of members so utterly unwor thy of a place in them, as are Mr; Wigfall and his like. IN TELE HOUSE, the bill passed last session by the Senate, in relation to the re-organizatien of the Pa t&nt Office and amending the patent laws, was passed after being amended. The.consideration of the re port of the Committee of Thirty-three was resumed, and Mr. Corwin stated that be-would postpone his, motion to close the debate till Thursday next. Mr. Davis, of Maryland, then took the floor. He said: We have seen a President neglecting the most solemn warning of the,first military officer of the age, allovr ing the forts to be taken iigssession of We have seen him, subsequently, in*lng bargains for peace with the disunionists, until he shall be relieved from the responsibilities of office, instead of defending the public property and vindicatiOg the public honor, and without remonstrance, permitting the work of disin tegration to go on. His secession to the supreme power shows his utter incapacity for the Presiden tial honors showered upon him. He did not wish to quarrel about words; but the Constitution and the laws of the United States must be enforced, and those who stand across the path of that enforcement must either destroy the power of the United States, or it will destroy them. After further discussion on the subject, he said he could speak for Maryland, (applause in the,galleries,) and that State has confidence in the strength of the great government which protects her. ... Mr. Kunkel, of Maryland—lf you claim to speak for that State, I desire to be heard. (Cries from the Republican side of order.) Mr. Davis—l, decline to yield the floor. Mr. Kunkel, amid cries of order—Don't speak'for Maryland, speak for yourself: " ,Mr. Davis—l 'represent the Fourth District, and say ; whettite elected by the whole of Maryland or not, I will speak for what I know to bd the seiltinient of the people of Maryland. (Enthusiastic applause, particularly in the galleries.) Mr. Davis remarked that his friends would confer a favor by refraining from expressing approbation. The Speaker hoped that persons in all parts of the hall would preserve order. Mr. Davis—l did speak for the people of Mary land.. If the issue is made, whoever may meet it on the other side, I will meet him from St. Mary's to Al legheny. I will meet him in every county. [-Ap plause.] Mr. Kunkel—Pll meet you here. Mr. Winslow, of North Carolina, rose and called attention to the disorder in the galleries. 'The Speaker hoped that all present would observe order, and that there be no further cause of com plaint. - Mr. Spinner, 'of i New York, said that it ill became gentlemen on the other side to make objections, when treason had been preached without rebuke. Mr. Davis resumed, repeating that Maryland dine not recognise the right of secession. She does not recognise the right to repeal the supreme law of the land. If any Convention should be there called, of whatever character, and under whatever auspices, those who should presume to inaugurate revolution would'meet with revolutionary resistance on the soil of Maryland, under the stars and stripes. They will not allow a majority nor a' minority to, drag them from the Union. Within Maryland are men who will assume an armed resistance to anything looking to armed rebellion, - Mr.. Kunkel--rDoes my colleague inaugurate it now? (Cries of order by the Republicans.). '. Mr. Davis - , resuming, expressed his contempt, for platforme Si Sail's to catch pop filar breies, and, in conelusien, advocated the report of the majority of the committee. FamsT, Feb. Btll.-:-SExkies.-a-A - dismission took place on the 14Paormick reaper patent, and a resoln titan was passed , to extend the time for taking testi mony: The Committee of Conference on the Loan bill reported that the committee had agreed to, an amendment to the 'effect that the amount accruing from the former loan shell' be applied to the redemp tion of the outstanding Treasury notes under the set of December 17th; 1860, which was agreed to. IN THE HOUSE the bill for the adjustthent of the Claims of the Puget Sound Agricultural Company, under the treaty with Great Rritain, was passed. It authorizes persons residing in Washington territory within one year to make application for the confir mation of their title ,to the land elaimed by them. The Speaker laid before the House a message from the President , endorsing the correspondence with Col. Rayne. It was referred to the Select Committee of Fiverand ordered to be printed. SITURDAY, Feb. oth SENATE.—The Naval Appro priation bill was passed.

To those who are familiar with sorrow, death is often a coveted boon, and the tomb a restint plate secure from human afflictions, its gloomy silence, being wel comed with cheerful resignation. But to those who are stringers to'carking care, who know nothing . of the trou bles of this life, who are crowned with thpigarlands of friendship, and have their pathway lighted by the Torch of Love, the tyrant's stroke would, indeed, he terrible, did not , sweet religion" heal the wound, and a Saviour welcome .the fleeting spirit to a home in heaven. How ever severe the blow to the stricken parents, and crush ing. to the gentle feelingi of a kind and affectionate sis ter, may be' tbe departure of her whose thread of life hai been severed like that of a budding rose, by the blasting influence of a sudden storm, still are her parents con soled by the certainty that their child inherits a blissful eternity where they, through.the Medium of a SaViour's love, may meet her, no more to part. And now, beauteous maiden, recentlyso gay and joy ous, but now shedding a mourner's tears at the loss of one whose earliest love was thine, lie comforted and assured that what is to thee a grievous loss, is to her an incalculable gain. The ibove reflections are suggested by the late de emt e of Miss Sallie F. Chambers, above-mentioned, in. the sixteenth year of her age, whom "None knaiv but to foie," "None mentioned but to praise."

D., Author of "Discourses on the Sulnernany and Obliga tion of Conscience," etc. I vol;, litino. Cloth extra Price 1 dollar The country has been flooded with anti-slavery argu ments; anti-slavery societies have persevered in syste matic, vigorous, and ingenious efforts to inculcate their peculiar views by means of public harangues, newspa pers, novels, sermons, tracts, pictures, and other means of influencing the public. Meanwhile but very little has been done to present the other side of the subject. The American people believe in full and free discussion, and can hardly wish to decide any question after hearing only one side, and even those who have formed opinions will be willing to consider arguments, even though they tend to different conclusions, which come from an emi nent source, and which are at once ab?e, forcible, and kind. The present work offers such arguments from such a source. Published by HASON BROTHERS, Feb. 7-3 t. b and 7 Diener Street. [f ~:~114 :R.7i i~ ~ t ~ ~7:~:21 TEA DEALER AND FAMILY GROCER, 223 S.
