I could'nt keep the tears from coming, and I thought Iconic! never come again. .But then I said to my self, I will know theta too. So I took my Bible, and went off into'the woods where no one could hear. Me, and I picked them out afterward, and got to - read them, and I is so proud that I can do it.'" ti,%sixtualtt s guititigrint. DAcoTAR.—Dr. Williamson writes from Davenport, lowa, January 35th:-" I sup pose as many readers and writers have - been made among the prisoners, in less than two years, as were made by our mission in the twenty-seven previous years, and more con verts; and having received a deeper baptism of the Holy Spirit, they will probably be more active in spreading the gospel among their people than our previous converts." AMR:IA.—Du Chaillu, the celebrated ex plorer of West Africa, has given the mission aries of the American' Board at the Gaboon, certain premises at a place called Ca - Ina, where a laborer, a native we presume,. has been stationed, who is reported as doing well. Mr. Grout of the Zulu mission, sends to-the _Herald an account of the recent calm and comforting death of one of the most promi nent of the native converts who had been a member for thirteen years. ' • Mr. Grout, in a review of thirty years' missionary labors among the Zulus, says that for eleven years he worked'vvithout a particle of success, yet without a doubt as to his own call and mission. "At length, in. 1845, eleven years after we had embarked in our work, I had the pleasure of baptising my first convert. •My present station is the fourth one I had selected and built upon, having been driven away from the other three. Now, at the end of thirty years, I find my self at a mission station which has seventy three members in the church, in good stand ing, who are a part of a Sabbath congregation numbering two hundred and fifty; one hun dred and forty-five of whom are Sabbath school scholars, and sixty-eight of whom are day school scholars." He would not exchange places now with the most gifted of his class mates. • CHINA.—Mr. Vrooman, missionary of the American Board at Canton, writes, October 6th, that he was making an excursion u the North River, and had; reached Shau Lhau Fu, a city over 250 miles from Canton, preaching and diiitributing books on the route. He says :—" I meet men almost every day who recognize me and call me - by name, having seen rue at our chapel in Can ton. Such men uniformly treat me as a friend, or at least as one in whom they feel, some interest. Perhaps I take too favorable a view of the•character of these country peo ple. Ido not believe that they are by nature any more prone to evil than the people of New York or New England, and not so much so as many in the older States ofEurope. There is no danger that labor expended here will be lost because the race is fading away. The world does not furnish a more vigorous stock of human beings than are to be found among these hills and on these rivers. As I write, my rnind rests on an old man in a boat near us, who has his great-grand -child near him, and large enough to labor, yet the Srera-vand-father is still hale and active. uch cases are not rare." The people have generally come to 'regard the admission of foreigners and the toleration of the new, religion in the Empire as a settled matter. Says-;Mr; Vrooman:—‘‘ The great battle for the entrance of God's truth openly and =disguisedly int(' China, was fought and won at Canton. This fact is recognized by the people'here, and opposition' as a sys tematic thing, has ceased ; though individuals and small local clans, under the influence of some evil-minded man, - may 'still, 'as •in America, oppose the spread of the ' truth. The battle fought here has opened' the Em pire for the introduction of the gospel; but in no other part of the Empire, so far as I can learn, do the people feel so clearly as here, that there is to be no more systematic opposition to it, and to the freedom of in tercourse with foreigners. I have abundant evidence of this every day. "I would like to take some of the wise men that have written about China, and let them see a little of the country and a few of the people, after which, if they thought proper, they might write that, China is a good place to leave;' but I think no sensible man would understandingly write it. 'China is by no means perfect ; if it were so, my work would be elsewhere; but it is a grand coun try. It is emphatically a missionary field—a field in which a golden harvest of souls will be reaped ere long for the Saviour, if the churches do their , v. ' - " There would be difficUlty in our plant ing.a mission here, it we had men to work it. There is evidence, which -.grows more clear every day, - that the south of China is the more hopeful field, notwithstanding the rush of men to the north." 'The Canton mission of the Presbyterian Board reports the accession of eight members to the church during the year, of whom seven were received by profession of their faith. The Ningpo mission reports the addition of fifteen new members to the church in Ningpo and tweiity-six to the church in Yuyiao during the year. These churches have been divided, making four churches, and having 177 members. At Ningpo they have now the happiness Of being aided in their work by a choice ()company of native brethren—two ordained ministers, several licentiate preachers, teach et's; &c. "Lately, efforts have been made to employ— Christian women to visit their country women in their homes. PERSlA.—Several young men, natives, were ordained to the work of the gospel min istry among the Nestorians, at Orciomiah, October-3d. To show the extraordinary dif ferencebetween the West and the East, in the matter of, travelling; Dr. Wright syas that on his retirrn jonrney from the United States last summer, he reached Trebizond, 7000 miles from New York t in twentyfive days of voyage and travel, while the remain ins distance to Oroondah, 600 miles, occu pied thirty-three travelling days. TURKAY.—It is believed that the late per secution of Turkish converts, which has en otifretlhyecegaossepd,l.will turn out to the furtherance Mr. , Herrick .writes from Constantinople, December 15, "Information from various points in the interior shows, contrary to our fell*, that this violent and public action of Onvernment has rather strengthened than weak.eriecl the cause of Protestantism through out the, country.. It is seen that anything which can - occasion , so great a stir must be a formidable pnwer." MR.' VAN LENNEP, of Smyrna, represents the work there as encouraging, speaks of in- teresting meetings during the week of prayer, and reports a somewhat serious vise of perse cution by the people at Magnesia, with prompt and correct action by government officials, so that:the result is likely to be good. idaptist missionary reports, Au gust 17th, receiving ( the first convert from the Paloungs, an influential tribe living at tbe far north-east, near China, who subsist by the, cultivation of, tea. "In the evening we had a prayer-meeting` . The representatives of eight races or tribes were present, and prayer was offered in six languages. It was a charm ing sight. Races mingle in prayer and praise to our Father and Lord, as brethren of one common family—men who hitherto had lived in hatred of each other, and not unfrequently had imbrued their hands in each other's blood. Now they are of one heart, and one mind—Christ's brethren !" MADAGASCAR.—The organ of the _London Missionary Society, for January, says:— Amidst the evident progress and advancing strength of Christianity we are glad to state that the Queen and her Government, al though patrons of heathenism, nevertheless honorably uphold the rights and privileges of the na' ive Christians. ITEMS.—The income Of• the American Board, for January, was $39,044.40: Total from September, $147,469.10.----Mission ary work in Abyssinia is at a stand still. The Scotch missionaries have been released from confinement, but are closely watched. Messrs. Stern and Rosenthal, of the London Society, who have been variously tortured, are still in confinement.—The native Hin doos say to the Christions :—" Your religion is going up ; - ours is going down. India will be all Christian some day."—Three mis sionaries have recently been sent to North China by the American Board. THE DRAFT.

OBITUARY Died, 'in Birdgeton, N. J., on the sth of February;' MATTHICW KEAN. in the 83d year of his age. For the glory of God, it "is well to take more than ordinary note of the death of a believer. who through a long life has adorned the gospel of Christ, and has been eminently useful in the position in which he was placed. lied Matthew Kean died young, his memoir might have been written as an instance of early piety, but living. as he did to an advanced age, his youth was only a fit preparation for a life of usefulness, and of faithful witness bearing for the cause of the Re, deemer. Born 'of highly respectable parentage, his father a Colonel in the Revolutionary army, of noble presence -and character, but not of personal piety, his -mother a devoted Christian, of a family whose simple and 'unostentatious goodness has been remarked' by who have known them; he was early and faithfully instructed in the truth, and by his filial regard and respect for his parents, and his strict, attention to the services of God's house, proved even when a child that these instructions were not in vain. Lie united with Dr. Green's church, in Philadelphia, while - living there as a - clerk in a mercantile house. He soon after returned to Delaware, and in 1818 WAS elected elder in Hanover Street Church. Here and in New Castle, where he resided for about twenty, years, as Recorder of Deeds, he spent the most of his life, active in every good word and work, a "live man" in the church, and by his affectionate an , i genial disposition exercising great influence in the commu nity. Most faithfully did he fulfill the injunction of the Apostle- - Beloved, if God so loved us, we might also, to love one another." lie was ahke the friend and counsellor of the young, the middloaged, and the old ; ready to smooth the rough places in life's journey by . his assistance' and advice; always , more careful-for the welfare and happiness of others thatifor his own comfOrt and case. Bereaved of his children at stroke, he kissed the rod that smote him, and gave to God and God's peoble. all the rich affection "which had clustered around them7-and it WILS enough that one claimed an interest in our common Master to obtain ashare in his sympathies and retard. Men of all Christian denominations loved him, confided in hini, and advised with him, and none had reason to regret that; they. had so placed their confidence.. His reproofs, when needed, were not withheld;liut they were like the." words of a friend," given injove, not in anger. . 'lt is well in these days of lax morality to note the mercantile honesty of this servant of Christ. In his early life he was unfortunate in business, and became involved beyond his means of payment. Many years afterwards, by 'Prudence add economy, he became Possessed of property, and his .first .employment of these means was the payment of his debts,- with prin cipal and interest. - . . The last years of his life were spent with one of his nearest connections, Dr. klmer, of Bridgeton. He gradually failed under the burden of years. Within a few months..he was deeply affected by the death of one of his dearest relatives, the friend of his earliest youth—others whom he greatly esteemed followed in quick succession, and after a.short. severe illness, he passed calmly and trustfully to his heavenly home. His life, like that of the beloved apostle, was a record of 'Christian affection and sympathy. He sleeps in Jesus, arid his memory is precious; oh ! how precimis to those who remain. . t .
