If it be a problem' tp half the world, its solution properly lies within the jurisdic tion of each individual conscience,"Und not in that! of its,neighbor. He lhat gives his conscience into the keeping of his neighbor, is either a coward or a fanatic. He doclh neither well nor wisely. It iswastly easy for one man, arrogating to him self superior knowledge, tri bound his neighbor’s domain of Duly—to say—"do this. 11 and “do that, for it ic required of you.” It is easy for a man of Inordinale vanity lo imagine himself appointed a moral surveyor, whose vocation is to stake out paths and say lo his fellow men—“walk hero! it is a di vine injunction." Now, when tills seif-constituted teacher chooses this vocation believing it to be his duty, he is worthy of ail honor ns an honest, ear nest man, however he bo mistaken. There nre duties Incumbent on all responsible be ings. There is one duly common to ell; this is Ciukltt. Meek eyed child of Heaven, in whose heart well the pure waters or fraternal love, give her the freedom of your heart, brother, whether you be high, or low, when measured by conventional rales. Make room for her and yon shall ever have "an angel in thy house.’. Charily does not consist in donations to charitable institutions and stopping there. It does not consist in building school-houses and churches snd stopping there.

There 'js no dearth of Mrs, Jcllybys in this land. Some for get homo wants, and Kills things in the false ’en deavor to purchase heaven by open-mouthed charily. But that soul which pauses amid the bustle of life to speak a kind word to the unfortunate, or to give a cap of water to a' fainting brother, daetb mofe than these, doeth' its duty and norm well.

I .want to make three short.appeals to..three classes of persons,” -(when 116" holds up n small 6tb|e.) “There gen.ilemno,” says he, “is Ihp great,charter record,of human rights on which all law pnd equality is based, deserv ing the name of law, this ip my appeal to the religious part of society,”—and lays it down nn the'stand before him. Then be holds up the Constitution of the United “Here gentlemen,” says he, “is the bon.d of our Union, jhe noble Constitution of our glorious Republic, which says ’.hat all men are horn free and equal, with certain inalienable rights, &c„ &c.” This is qn appeal to gentlemen, to patriots and In all Aroef'C^os,,aod he places it with his Bible before him.
