In August fifty-three A modern pastor sat him down; He took his pen and scratched his crown, To do Theology "up brown," So smart a man was he. A text he chose a sermon wrote About the "fatted calf:" He toiled away the whole week long To rectify whal'er was wrong, And make it elegant and strong; But 'twas too long by half. He cut it down he wrote it ocr, Retouching every point Till he was pleased, it read so well, And pride began his breast to swell, To think how his brave speech would tell So smooth in limb and joint. The Sabbath came. To-day, thought.he, My people must respect My Talcnls more than e'er before; And though they may not cry. Encore, Will ask to have me preach it o'er, Because of its effect. So, marching to the sacred desk, He uttered forth "his views" Declaimed about the calf so fat -But finished, feeling rather "flat," For half his congregation sat And slumbered in their pews. Returning home, dejected, sad, He turned aside to pray; His soul was humbled to the dust " He prayed, and felt that pray he must, And exercise a firmer trust, Or else must "go away." Ills strength was spent ho'd done his best: Yet all had been m vain; While half his struggling heart within Reproached him that he did not win A single soul from guilt and sin; He ne'er would preach again. When Monday came, he prayed again, Then went from door to door; He saw the sick, the lame, the blind, -And words of blessing -left behind, Till half he thought to change his mind, And preach one Sabbath more. But what! and howl He wept and prayed, Then sat down and sore perplexed; For ah! so busy all the week, On what theme could he hope to speakl He took his Testament in Greek, And ransacked for a text Before the Book he knelt; and prayed And prayed for guidance from on .high. Poor man! what sorrows filled his breast! He felt he needed sleep and rest, Yet he most try to do his best, Agood text met his eye. A sermon on it socn he planned, And sketched its meaning plain; He could not elegantly write, 'Twas. Saturday and nearly night, And he was in a woeful plight. He knelt and prayed again. The Sabbath came a lovely morn The pastor-prayed again; Then humbly forth in fear he wont,' With spirit meek and penitent, ' To where last Sabbath he had spent His choicest strength in tain. He roscafcd read the opening hymn Drew nigh to God in prayer: But judge of his extreme surprise, When, closing, he observed all eyes Suffused with tears, and heard deep sighs, As if the Lord were there, ile rose to preach, though sore oppressed And mortified was he For 0! his sermsn was so slim, The lighfit gave so very dim, 'Twas strange all eyes were fixed on him! What could they wish to see? His words they seemed to fail with power Though simple words were they: So simple he could hardly bear To utter them; but after prayer, The people whispered everywhere, How well he preached that day. The humbled pastor homeward went, Ashamed to show his face, To think so smart a man as he Should lowr himself full one degree, By preaching what he deemed to be Bo very common-place. That week, abashed lefore the throne, He mourned, he wept, he prayed; Bat ere another Sabbath came, The pastor, in this prayerful frame, discerned a glowing Kindling name, With sovereign grace displayed. In many a soul which blazed and burned With pure revival light. What could it mean! The lord was there, Who scorns. the weapons men prepare, Yet honors humble, fervent prayer; Who, not by power or might! Nor by the wisdom of the wise, His kingdom buildelh up. But by his Spirit strikes the blow Which humbles e'en his haughtiest foe, And opes, in Anchor's valley low, To faith, a door of hope. Till he, who oft in wisdom's pride vIn vain bath preached the Word, Beheld with joy God's work go on, As day by day some ransomed one Was built on Christ, the corner-stone, And glorified the Lord. Where is the scribe! and where the wise! Hath not Jehovah said, His folly wiser is than men! Yet 0! what thousands still complain Their labor in the Lord is .vain! Yet, tell me how they prayed. And I will tell you why they failed Their hearers' hearts to win; No human voice the dead can awake: But he who pleads for Jesus' sake; Impressions cannot fail to make On souls deep sank in sin. Congregational Herald. Bather Severe on the Northern Brethern. The Cbarle.-tou Mercury is very abu sive of tbe Northern Democracy, and es pecially so upon tho delegates to the Charleston Convention: It was in an evil hour that tbey came to tbc soil of South Carolina, to hold their convention for the consummation of this goodly work. The soil is Dot congenial to tbe swindler. We saw with disgust the sort of cattle representing States and parties-r-fourth rate county court law years wbat they call in Georgia jackleg lawyers blackleg would be better; and a more impudent gang of pluuderers, wire-pulltrs and swindlers, with few ex ceptions, were never before congregated together, and with such monstrous party pretensions. Tbe claim of the Northern delegates was, in so many words, to have a platform so meaningless as to permit them to lie ad libitum. That's what some would call "adding insult to injury." JStaf Parson Brownlow. continues to 'holler ' for tbe Union, in spite of tbe threats oJ the secessionists, who bave threatened to bang him. Tho Parson has designated the day be prefers for tbe hanging, and invites the publio to wit-' ness the exhibition, promising to make a Fpeech under the gallows. A lote num ber of bi paper, tbe Knoxvillc Whig, contains the following: God bo praised for tbe odinm already attached to sccepf-ion and it advocates, and for tbe certaio propect of their de scending to a traitor's grave, aDd finally to a traitor's bell! The Senators of sev en States bave been sitting in tbeir heats as Senator, suorn to support the Con titution of tbe United States, and to act as tbe privy counsel of.tbe Preridcnt, and at the same time they were holding secret meetings, plotting the overthrow of the Government aod Constitution tbey had aworn to sustain and support. I consider Benedict Arnold and Aaron Burr patriots and honest men compared with these traitors and perjured villains. I certain ly have no desire to live under any Gov ernment organized by 'such corrupt, wick ed and hell-deserving men as theel This wbole scheme for dissolving the Un ion was originated and carried out by cor rupt, designing and disappointed South ern politicians, who, failing to control the Government, resolved upon its ruin. There are better men in Hell, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire, than the Southern leaders in this secession 'move ment. Tbis I say as a Southern mant one born and raised here, and intending to live and die bcre. All this I will con tinue to say ss long as I have breath to speak, or strength to write. jB2?In oo Stato in the Union is there so little of wbat we at the North under stand by public sentiment, as in South Carolina. Tbero is no middle class, ever talking, reading, thinking, acting mak ing and unmaking, aud holding to a strict accountability those who occupy positions of trust and power. The State, with its white population of less than dUUtuuu coals, casting its 45,000 votes, is held and controlled by tbe aristocratic few. Tho form of State Government is essen tially monarchical. Tho people do not vote for Governor or any State officer. Neither do they have any direct voice in choo-ing Presidential Electors, these things being left to the Legislature, which ia chosen every two years. Thus aro politics and public questions kept from tho people, who are seldom troubled to think, or permitted to act. Tbe work ings of the local system of the State id a large measure deprive tbe people of pow er, and tbo effect io tbe long run has been to'render them indifferent to great ques tions immediately affecting them. Suob a th'mg as submittipg a question to tho people is hardly ever known. pazzle for Reary. Taming tho Dl tare. FROLI SOUTH CAEOLDTA. Correspondence of tbo N. Y. Tribune. Charleston, S.

Soon aftof the dis ing tbe rebles from the just consequences oovery of America it was introduced into and Denaltics of their acts. It will bo saying to the other States that they may rebel and go out of the Uuion at pleasure, steal the publio property, get clear of pay ing their share of the publio debt, and set at defianco tbe Federal laws with im punity; a proclamation, in fact, to all tho world that wo bave no Government capa able of asserting itself, able to punish re bellion, or even enforce the laws. The rebels arc not blind to this plain view of the case, and hence they are fearful that Mr. Lincoln will stand stiff, and of the consequences thereof to themseltes. How, well grounded their apprehensions are, remains to be seen. On this Sabbath day wo have tbo ac customed mingling of the "pomp and oir oumtaoce of war," with the peaceful ap pointments of Religion. In some parts iof tbe city squads of soldiers dispute the thoroughfare with people churchward bound; the chimes of St. Michael's do not quite drown "the ear-piercing Gfe'' of in coming or outgoing soldier.-; nor is tbe Sabbath livery of worshipers entirely ex empt from contrast with tbo costume of the camp. At the batteries, the bar racks, and the forts, divine service is held by clergymen from the city, who volun I teer for tbe service. In Fort Sumter, the garrison enjoy the benefits of a de vout and loyal chaplain; and, probably, nowhere on this day will tbe divine word bave more attentive listeners tban there. With, hundreds the lion of tho day is tbe. famous floating battery at Marshe's dock. It is visited by crowds, who bavo a variety of opinions to express, general ly prejudicial to tbe thing. Practical men predict that it will be a failure; and anions the soldiers, it already has ac quired the uame of "Slaujbter-Houe." Whatever may prove to be the fact, lam assured that Major Aodercon will not permit the rebels to auchor tho battery, n they iutend, within a few hundred feet of Sumter's walls. When they attempt to do so. be will certainly fire on it; aud tbo belief in tbe fort ia that her heavy gunH will demolish the hutre structure The day and the hour tho rebels attempt to tow tbii floating battery to tho place they have designed it to occupy, will most likely see the long-predicted en gagement open. The rebels begin to canvass with an air of feriouness tbe ugge;tion whether the Federal Government will not embrace in its plan for re enforcing Fort Sumter, tbe landing of troops on Jarvis Island, with tbe view of attacking tho batteries in the rear. This contingency has not been thought of up to this time. Mili tary men here do not disguiso that in pushing the Federal Government to ac cept tbi as actual warfare, in its length and breadth, this method of roenforcing , Fort Sumter will be rendered an extreme probability; and the suggestion occasion all? dropped that the circle of operations may so widen as to include tbe City of Charleston, produce a stato loaioative oi I a new idea and the sense of an unpleas ant possibility.
