On the contrary, have the_bright hopes with which you welcomed the advent of "Fifty nine," gradually faded away ?

If so, you will witness hie tHeesislutlon with gloomy satisfaction—trust , bug that bright (lays aro yet In store for you , when the now year comes. But, pause, re fleet awhile—have you deserved the blessings you invoked at the birth of the closing year 7 Have you done your duty to your follow-man and to your God?

Hope on, then, for Hope, Without whose cheering smile life would be valueless and eternity a void, beckons you for ward to the New Yearl3 christening with beaming glances. But will your deeds of the past year chine not before your fellow-men ? Dare you not reflect upon theim yourself in the silent hours of the night, when conscience, the great aven ger, brings them its panoramic array before you ? Have you forgotten who has spared you still another year ? ; If so, how dare you hope that the conduit one will bring you blears lugs you have not, endeavored - lo datuerrel or In - Yeur heart complain that, having "sown the Mind," you have "reaped the -whirlwind 1" Hark! the knell of the old year is still sound toff and to you I 6 shoultL be Indeed noolemn erinerdnaS asaisw, hours of' the time you have so inbreed aro still left you : to.your knee, mans ere they peas away; for it may not, perhaps, be given you to witness tho close of the year on whose threshold you are standing: To your /nee, man ! and first seek from Mau who alone ean grant it pardon for the past; and then re solve, wills eolenin purpose and firm determi nation, to make amendment in the fhture.

Let's be merry, aye, right merry, and wish all whom we esteem und love "A Happy Now Year." Let us fulfil the custom of our country, (but too often abused,) and with sinecriiy aro our guide, run from !souse Eh house with the tidings of the New Year's birth, and wishing to ono and all that it may be a happy/ono. True, to souse, our cheerful salutation may seem a mockery.; for, insincere themselves, they may doubt our sincerity; they may bo right; there may be treachery in the grasp, falsehood In the eye, and a he on the lips; and there trill be all these with many who ut ter the vain words of "A Happy New Year." To others, again, it will be a mockery to wish them "A Happy Now Year," for love and peace are essential to true happiness, and I they love not their fellow-men, else would they not crush them beneath their heel, and despitefully use them for their own base and , selfish Purposes, whilst peace reigns not , within their hearts. Such may smile when we wish them « A Happy New Year," bust they 'feel the mockery of the hackneyed phrase. Wo " speak daggers, tho' we uco none." ' ro A Happy- New Year !" Whilst we go about wishing it to friends and acquaintances, let us remember that there are those about us whose day-dream of "A Happy New Year" has long since fled, and who have none left now even to wisli it them—where silent misery and squalid wretchedness reign supreme; nllO9O HUM of happiness is now but small, for it is comprised in " Bread and warmth." Shall we ;lens it them 7 No ; let ue listen to " The Plea of the Peon" to the appeal of the widows and orphans, and the faint cry of the infant, (hut little older, perhaps, than this new-born Year,) who is pressed to its inothere shivering broast, and seta's in vain its little New-Year's happiness in warmth and suste nance, whirls, it not given with timely hand, it May not live to ask again.

Aro we, too, going forth with (t treachery in our grasp, falsehood in our eye, and a lie on our lips," to utter hollow compli ments void of sincerity?

J. D. RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. Interesting Lecture on Church History. Dr TUII FBV. ITO/JAB U. MARTIN, BICTOR OP Till On Wednesday evening last Nev. Thomas 31. Martin delivered an interesting Mature in the church of which ho is rector (Trinity, Episeopal— likto Dr. Coleman's—Catharine street, above Se cond) upon the condition of the Church at and pre vious to the assembling of the Council of Nice. lie stated in opening that it had been his purpose to give, an account of the " Council" itself, but ma ture- deliberation had induced him to devote an evening or two In the history of the Church pre paratory to this important , event. No one, tie thoeght, could look out over the historic interval which' had elapsed since the birth of Christ with out being struck with the wondrous details of the panorama,. The poor commencement; the wee mittens of the early Church, and the peculiar re sults of its thousand contacts, all cowbined to at test the Divine origin of the Chastise 'Religion. The ma* portion of the eveniug's lecture was devoted to the part performed by Constantine, as the first Christian Emperor of Rome, in the great drama of the history of the Church. The time had evidently arrived, said the speaker, when it be clime, the interest of Constantine to embrace the 'Christian Ikith, though muoh was added to show Itetk No atop of 'the Emperor was not entirely ds• feeld eflitigher motive'. The fatuous phenomenon ;or thi Mating otos" which bad appeared in the ' , lfoun-day sky to Constantine., held by some to bare, been m 44011010, was commented upon Al a speak litlva' theme, tattier then absolute fact. That a huilinous appearance tad been teen, bearing some resenableutse to a area cross, was not incredible, as similar phenomena Were ester new toccanionally ebterved in the rays of the noonday "an, bet that the Greek inscription upon It, "Ily Mi., Con. quer" as was related by fineable', the Bishop of Ctesares, was literally true, was more difficult to believe, and was probably attributable to the ex cited state of the be,holder's mind, owing to the circumstances in which he was placed. Assuming the period of this occurrence to have been at the awful crisis in the destiny of COnstantine, when before the walls of Rome, there could have been no occasion more favorable to producing upon his high-wrought Imagination a religious awe which would transform any extraordinary appearance in the heavens into a sign of the prevailing Deity of Christ. This was especially probeble when taken in connection with the religious aspect of affairs at that period. The Edict of Milan was next referred to, A. D. 3t3, as having for Its object the Imperial decree of universal religious toleration. Such a decree, while It did not specify any particular faith, could evidentlyanly have been intended by Constantine for the benefit of Christians, as all other religions were already tolerated. The state of political affairs at that time ores here minutely described. These were thon,two seats of the Emperor, an Eastere:and a Western, the thrmer at Constantinople, the latter at Rome, both being, under similar circumstances, equal in authority. Sometimes, however, their strength was net equally divided, when It happened that the conqueror took all, as was the case with Constantine who under the Christian banner of hie legions assumed universal dominion over the em pire. The fact of this Imperial patron of Christianity net having submitted to the ordinance of baptism until brought upon his death-bed, was introduced with this explanatory reason : Constantine con ceived the idea that the real intent and efficacy of Christian baptism was to wash away forever all the sins of the person receiving it t that he bad previously committed, and for this reason ho had deferred receiving the ordinance until the latest moment, in order that there might be no accumu lation of sins to account for thereafter. Much was said towards the close of the lecture to attest the sincerity of Constantine's profession of Christianity. In the first place, he had been for many years a professing Christian. Ile bad inscribed the Cross upon his banners. Even Gib bon, sneering Infidel as be was, believed, or at least affected to believe, that Constantine was sin care in his profession. It bad been urged against him that, having In the Edict of Milan tolerated all religions, he had thereby given his assent to Pagan worship. This, said the speaker, was an unjust criticism, as such religious toleration on the part of the Emperor bad but shown his wisdom. Our own country emulated the wisdom of this policy. That the law-aiding genius of the Christian religion had shown Constantine that It was his policy to introduce it more widely into his empire was admitted, nor were his ambitious and obstinate characteristics denied. Tho gradual development of Church got ernment, and the ultimate uolon of church and State, were neat considered, the latter having been effectually consummated when the Emperor became the head of the Church, oven ex Queen Victoria Is now the head of the Church in England. To show the rapid increase of the Church utter the Edict of It was stated that in the year 400, leas than a century afterwards, the empire numbered, in the Eastern division, ono thousand bishops, end eight hundred In the Viol, Mr. Martin is a young man, and has but recently entered upon his present charge. His style is promising; although we can hardly venture an opinion as to his qualities as a preaoher from mere ly hearing the short hiatorloal leoture, of which the foregoing is a meagre synopsis. That he is steadi• ly becoming more and more endeared to his peo ple, which wo learn is tiro ease, is, howorer, the best endorsement of his qualifications for the post tion he ocouplos.

In reply to a reception speed', made on behalf of the Republican Committee of tie eity, by Judge Pea body, he : "Mr. Chairinass,',Gentlsswen, and Fellow- Citizens: Vs:memory gives back at once the re collection of Wirykled salutation and every part ing adieu with which I was honored on my depar ture abroad Ido nat.know hew much that gene rous tribute paid to me by my fellow-citizens had to do with procuring me an every country which I have visited a kind respect and a cordial IMMO.

It would be unbecoming for me to dilate on the present occasion, and at the mime time to resume the topic so soon afterwards In another place. 1. know, therefore, you will excuse me for proposing that we part for the present, and that I shall meet you upon that occasion. when Isbell speak more at large the sentiments with which I em impressed." Ile was afterward* received at the City Ilan by Mayor Tiemann and a Committee of the Common Council of the city. In reply to the address of the Mayor he said : • stir. Mayo, and Gentlemen of the Common Cowin! and Felloto•Citizent. Ido not mean to yield to the impulses of feeling on this occasion, although I can scarcely conceive what could be more flattering to me than this generous reeeptioe in the metropolis of my native country and under the auspices of the constituted authorities of the city. Nevertheless, lam sure that any seeming indifference to this cordial welcome ,would argue me guilty, not merely of caprice In regard to my fellow-eitizens, bat even of injustice to the divine goodness which permits me, alter a long absence, again to enter the otrolee of true patriots, of affec tionate kindred and life-trled friends. [Applause.] Inquiries have been addressed to me on all sides and by all parties. I hope that those who listen to me are aware that I must be impatient to reach once more, and es soon as possible, my yet distant fire side ; and therefore I am aura TOO will be content to receive very brief answers. at least on the present occasion, to those kind lequiriee. I have, Mr. Mayor, met with no accident by land or by water; with no 1189lOut hindrance in my way; have enjoyed good health in every season and In every clime. I have met no unkindness anywhere, but, en the con trary, the respect everywhere entertained for my country has procured for me among all classes and eonditione of men, hospitalities which I shall remember with gratitude so long as I shall live. !Cheers.] Mr Mayor and fellow-citizens, in those eastern regions, from which we derive the revela tions of Divine truth, a paralysis which seems as if it were In be eternal rests upon society, anti leaves little lees to he studied than the sublime and affect ing monuments which authenticate the evidences °four faith. [Applause.] I have been able In many instances to compare the &slating conditions of 80. ciety in European E tides with what existed there twenty•live years ago, when I bad the ;ermine to visit the Eastern continent. T think that I sae safely say that all the nations, every ration on that continent, Is more pro emus now than It bas been heretofore, and is making decided progress in ma terial and moral improvement, yet at the same time it is most manifest that the institutions of government existing there, which either are ancient oe were founded and constructed upon ancient principle are not adapted .to the exigencies and sentiments of the present day, anti therefore It is that every country in Europe—the whole of Europe—seems to be at this moment ba lancing between the desire for benefialed change, and the fear of dangerous innovation. Our own system, constructed later and ander better auspices, seems to afford tons—seems tote adapted to all the changes of national life, and to leave us, therefore. happily free alike from the need, and from the fear of organic. change It mast always be diffloult to determine how far we can lend encouragement to those who seek to reform the institutions of other countries, even with the hope of benefit to them ; but, Mr. Mayer anti fellow-citisens, this, at least, we can always do—we can endeavor to conduct oar internal affairs, as well as our foreign relations, with truth, candor, and justice and moderation. and so commend our better system of government to the adoption of nations, by proving that that system Is founded in public virtue, and that we are IIA a nation at unity with itself. white it reeks only by peaceful and lawful means to promote the pn...3- potty end welfare, the happiness and civilisation of mankind."
