it to been in any of the villages; the post j
roads are all being mended by women and
girls. Men taken Irom their homes and fam- ;
il.es, leave behind them broken ties and the j
foundation of a dreadful mass of vice and im- I
morality. It is fearful enough under ordinary !
circumstances. 'True communism,' said a '
Russian noble, -is to be found only in Russia.' :
One morning a poor woman went crvine '
bitterly to the Englishwoman, saving that her
two nephews had just been forced from her
house to go into the army. I tried" we '
leave the relater of these things to speak in
ner own impressive words "I tried to con
sole her, saying that they would return when
the war was over; but this only made her
more distressed. 'Ko, no!' exclaimed she,
in the deepest sorrow, 'they will never come
back any more ; the Russians are bea'en in
everyplace.' Until latelv the lower clases
were always convinced that the Emperor's
troops were invincible ; but it seems by what
she said, that even they have got to know
something of the trnth. A foreigner in St.
Petersburg informed me that he had gone to
see the recruits that morning, but there did
not seem to be much patriotism among them;
there was nothing but sobs aed tears to be
seen among those who were pronounced lit
for service, whilst the rejected ones were
frantic with delight, and bowed and crossed
themselves with the greatest gratitude."
Reviews were being held almost daily when
the English woman left, and she was told that
on one occasion, when reviewing troops des
tined for the South, the Emperor was struck
wiia the forlorn and dejected air of the poor
jeep hom he was sending to the siauehter.
'Hold your heads up !" he exclaimed angnlv;
-why do you look so miserable! There is
Botning to cause you to be so !"
-Bat w d;d not mean to tell about the war.
The vast empire over which the Czar has
rule is in a half-civilized it would be almost
ore correct to say in an uncivilised state.

(England was emphatically "fieniei rr.i7i)'

Learning wisdom from the Revolution of '70,
she now has more, and more contented, Col

commerce, more manufactures, more terri

evity, has increased. The "failure" has been

Andrew Marshall.
Savan.nait, April 11, 1853.
On Sabbath morning I attended divine
service with the Presbyterian church, of
which the RiV. Dr. Preston is pastor : he
was absent, and his p'tce was supplied by
a New England minister.
In the afternoon I determined to hear
Andrew Marshall, the veteran pastor of
the African Baptist church. This soldier
cf tho cross has a world-wide fame, and a
Very interesting notice of his pulpit servi
ces may be found in Sir Charles Lycll's
travels. Mr. Marshall preaches in a fair
old building, in its interior much resemb
ling a NcwEogland country meutiug house.
The audience, without exception, was well
dressed.
The preacher was 99 years old, on last
Christmas day, aud is therefore now in his
100th year, llis voice has groat sweetness
and power ; he read his hymns without
spectacles and such reading 1 in sober
truth, I know no Northern "Doctor" that
can read as woll. It was rca 1 as Stsughton
used toread, and those who remember that
style of giving out psalmody, will long to
hear Andrew Marshall. I came to church
expecting to hear a wreck of a negro
preacher- I foend in the pulpit a waster
in Israel. Age has not touched his facul
ties, his mind is as vivaeiou, and its work
ings are as true and faithful as arc the in
tellects of men of thirty or forty years of
age;. He preached for an hour an exposi
tory sermon on the man cut of whom
Christ expelled the devils who wcrir per
mitted to go into the herd of swine. The
sermon will remain in my memory associ
ated with the discourses ef great men. The
exposition Was scriptural, argumentative,
fall of imagination, and abounding in wit,
yet in all keeping with the place. I was
reminded all through the sermon cf three
great preachers in the old country, each
eminent in his peculiar way. I refer to
Rowland II ill, Christmas Evans and Wil
liam Jay. Marshall has much cf the wit
which eorruscated from the dak of Surrey
Chnpnl, tetilo eke graphic tketching of
the Welsh Demosthenes, and the admira
ble colloquial style of Jay, are found all
through his sermon. He made more
points of power in that hour than t have
heard in any sermon for five years. I re
gard him as the most astonishing preacher
I have ever listened to, when his age, his
social position, and his illiteracy are all
considered. No pulpit in New York or Bos
ton but would have been honored by such a
sermon : tbe limits of a letter will nut
permit me to give an outline, but it will
live in my memory, and its illustrations
would have been a stock in trade for a tyro
in theology and many a sprig of divinity.
Mr. Marshall's voice is euphonious, his
manner dignified. Nothing but his white
bair indicates his &ge and I should nover
hare supposed him over sixty-five, had I
not been informed. I must not f.trgct his
prayer; it was man talking with God, re
verently wrestling with God. He saw
tho portals of the city he had been often
at its gates, and it seemed as he knew the
holy ones.
Among the hearers were several white
ladies and gentlemen, and I was glad to
meet there with tho Hon. Francis Gran
ger and his daughter. They both unite
with me in my high appreciation of the
preacher, and Mr. Gianger told me thai
te thought the reading cf the bymn was
tee of the most iroprcesivc exhibitions of
sacred oratory lie had ever witnessed.
. Mr.Mar.hall then a Mare drove C ec
'til Washington from Vir'.ait to Savan
nah, sad Le observed that during the en
liro journoy he never saw him smile.
THl7DOOM ED SOLL.
There Is a tiaic, we kr.our not when,
A point, we '--now not whe.e,
Th.-t marks the ;stiny of men
To glory or despair.
There is a lin?, ly us unseen,
That crossiith every path.
The hidtien boundary between
God's patience ani his wrath.
To pass thitt limit is to die,
To die as if by stealth t
It does not quench the beaming eye,
O.- pale the glow of health.
TliJ Conscience may be still at ease,
The spirus light and gar;
That which is pleasing, still may pleisf,
And care be thrust away.
But on that forehead God has set,
Indelibly, a mark,
Unseen by man, for man as yet
Is blind and in the dark.
And yet ths doomed mail's path below
Like Eden may have bloomed
Be did not, does not, will not know
Or feel that he is doomed.
O, where is this mysterious bottrne
By which ourpath is crossed.
Beyond which, God himself haih sworn
That he who foes is lost 1
How far may we go on in sin
How long will God forbear I
Where does hope end ! and where begin
The confines of despair !
