TO OUR PATRONS. f Three years have elapsed since it was on. tuuneed that the Ltwuaim Ciioxicli would thereafter not be sent abroad to any except Pay- in-Advance subscribers. To this general sys- tern, tee hcte adlmed, except in a tic coxes un der peculiar circumstances. "When we attempt ed it. we were entirely alone in the effort, and our friends, with scarcely an rrception. prophe sied a failure. We were compelled to erase Two Hundred Karnes from our list many of them, we knew, were honest, worthy, and rtliablrt but no partiality could be shown. Three long years have since pasted, and we art again spared to remiit. We tukc pleasure in saying, that the Advance plan stands the tat of Experience. We hate not lust 3 per cent, on all our business. We hate now more subs cribers than we had under the "slow plan,' (em bracing most of those at first discontinued.) We receive one third more money yearly, than dur- ing any precious years. Jiintty-nineout of every hundred of our I'atrons and all are now "patrons" indeed) express their approbation if the system. And several of our coUmp'irariis acknowledge the propriety and justice of the Advance system, (which the Danville Lditjrial Convention Am recommended for general adap tion from the 1st of January, 185S ) Hi trust they will each adopt and inflexibly adhere to it. THE FUTURE. With wt changing our plan, we propose to "do as we would be dune by' and aid aliwlio whh our paper which we do not desire to force upon any one by giving them a little bmger time to pay in. The scarcity of money rtndtrs more latitude proper. Many of our patron commence with the Xew Year. Those whom it dues not luit to pay just then, yet who desire the Ckrox icli, we will gladly wait upon until Mines next. Those who desire to pay in I'roduce, Work, S;c. we will endeavor to accomnwdate as far as lies in our power, I'atrons at a Distance Will renumber that postage stamps will answer as well as gold or notes. We tend tr.it 100 fin jit papers. Could nut most of those who re ceite them, get us a small club in their neigh borhood ? We will send, eight months, for $ 1; sixteen months for S copies for !j 3,- four co pies for $5t or one copy four years for $5, or two copies two years, for SJ;5. and ten copies one year, or Jtce copies two years. Jor jIU. Mis is cheap enough, and we think t ur paper now published, by the senior proprietor, tes years is firmly established, and will repay its price. A FIRM BANK. The following lines were u-riiteu by the celebrated Rowlaxd Hill, over a quarter of a century ago, at a period of great commer cial distress in England, when the moneyed instituiions of that country seemed to be in a stale of collapse, and universal Latikrupicy threatened the nation. Sew York Christian lntdligcncer, (organ of the Dutch Reformed Church,) Oct. S9. I have a never failing Bank, A more than golden store ; No earthly bank is half so rich; Hour, then, can 1 be poor ! Tis when my stock is spent and g"ne, Anl I without a groat, I'm g!ad to hasten 10 my bank To beg a little note. Sometimes my Bankt-r smilinff says, "Why don't yen oftener come 1 And when you draw a Utile note. Why Dot a htrger sum ! Why lire so niggardly and poorl Your ltauk contains a plenty; Why come and take a one-pound note, When you may have a twenty V Yes, twenty thousand ten times told, li bat a trifling sum. To what your Father hath laid np. Secure in God his Son. Since, then, my Banker is so rich, I have no cause to borrow ; I live upon rich grace to-day. And draw on him to-morrow ; I've been a thousand times before And never was rejected ; Sometimes my Banker gives me mure Than asked for or expected. 8ometines I felt a little proud, I managed things so clever! But, ah! before the day was gone I felt as poor as ever. I know my Bank can never fail, ' Its funds always the same ; ! ' The firm, -Three Persons iu one Cid," Jehovah is his name. Should all the banks of Britain break. The Bank oi England smash. Brine ia your note of Zion's bank, Yoo'll surely get your cash. And if you have but one small note, t'ear not to bring It in ; Come boldly to the Throue of Grace, The Banker is within. All forged notes will be refused, Man's merits be rejected ; There's not a single note will pass That God has not accepted. There's none but those, beloved of God, Redeemed by precious blood. That ever had a note to bring These are the gifts of God. Though thousands, doubting, often say They have no notes at all. Because they feel the plague of sin, 80 rained by the Fall, This Bank is fall of precious notes, All signed, and sealed, and free. Though many a ransomed soul may say, "There is not one for tne." Base unbelief will lead the most To say what is not true 1 . I tell all souls, that feel they're lost, These Dotes belong to ion. The leper had a little note, "Lord, if you will, you can ; The Banker took this little note, And healed the sickly man. We read of one young man, indeed, Whose riches did abound. Bat in the Banker's book of grace His name was nerer found; Bat see the wretched, dying thief. Hang by the Banker's side ; Be cried, "Dear Lord, remember me f He got his cash, and died.

"Rat whoso hatb this world's good, and sceth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth (he love of God in him?" The Apostle John was a practical man, " wcl1 as ,htf mn8t beloved by the Ma8ter of his chosen twelve. His Enistles are full of the marrow of the Gospel, and con- i tain much of every-day counsel and warn- j ing The passage here quoted, is pccnli- j arly applicable So times of pecuniary dis- i tress, especially, although at all times wor- j thy of reverential consideration. Without 1 enlarging upon these thoughts, let us no- i tice, I Those particularly addressed, are, those "who have this world s goods, in such abundance as to be able to part with it. It is particularly designed for the rich, yet all who can give arc by the spirit of the joppcl not released from that duty. And who of us can not give something f Such should care for their brethren of the human family, and especially of the household of faith, aud should minis ter to their necessities. The general duty of charity, and the curse pronounced npon hardheartcdness and covetousncss, are f re- ! sented in the strong language of an inqui ry, "How dwelleth the love ot ijod in him ?" "He that lovcth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen ?" Tbe Savior . ... . ... . . m . - and his apostles cured tho bodily diseases aud sunnlied the temporal wants of niau. and true Christianity everywhere seeks to once, i confess not eft-band, and with : come to make a run upon the bauk; tney yip !

Even him who fell by the wayside, we are taught was a brother. 3. But all alms should be given wisely and onlv to those who "neal." Not 10 those who simply wish or desire this or that, are we required to give, but to those who have need. A man may with anew narJ k'dung in the traces ty these liign broad cloth coat, or a woman a superfiue mettled institutions tidings which reach silk dress, but may not need cither. It is cd QuoMbct, via the canal, about eleven ,..;, ,., r,,l ni r.;fi..;l , io o'cloik one murniue iu May. The Dircc- wants, we are bound to supply. Hence an impcrtiucnt beggar has not a claim aPpon our bounty, uuless he "have need." The whole surject as presented in the whole Bible teaches us, 1st, to discountc , nance luxuries, extravagance and improvi dence, and to compel all persona to earn an honest living by the sweat of their face . . . . . or by other houorablo means. 2d. AS we know that the least worthy are gener ally the most importunate, so those who most "have need" are too modest, too j ni,u , ,!.. ,1,.:. .ji' known. Hence arise special obligations upon us to seek out the really destitute 1 J : and needv. and administer to their wants. The strancer, the vicious, the poor, the : sick, the disheartened, even those who would rather die than ask all these "have i need," and should be sought out and com- ! forted in the way best suited to each case. And in the last day, the gracious Mas - j tcr who "went about doing good" shall j say to the truly benevolent, "Inasmuch ! as ye did it unto one of the least of these i Mv brethren, ve did unto Me !' Remarkable Instance of Heroism. Kev. Mr. Scudder, of India, in a let- 1 ter to the Chrtntian Intelligencer, cives i the following instances f heroism, called forth by the Indian mutinies : Let Americans never be ashamed that1 ri: 1 .1 . r . 1 r? uKiuu,cu .10 iUC.r .o.c.ame... -"g-; ; iana is a noo.c country ; ner sons are ne-; ; roe-, and her daughters are heroines. j This rebellion has brought out. deeds that , deserve to be associated with those valor- j j ous actions whioh we, with throbbing pul- Bes read in b'story. In one place a lady j and ber busb.nd flad ia their carriage. ! :i i- l, . i He stood upright : she took the reins.! She lashed tbe horses, through a band of ! mutineers, while he, with cool aim, shot j dead one who seized the horses' head, and another who climbed npon the carriage behind to cut him down. On they fled, till again tbey found themselves among foes, and a rope stretched across the road made further progress appear impossible. True to herself, she dashed tbe horses at i full speed against the rope, and as they, j bearing it down, stumbled, she, by rein ; and whip, raised them while her bus- band's weapons again freed them from those who had succeeded in leaping upon j them. He was wounded, but both escap- j ed with their lives. In another place, a ; j young lady, the daughter of an officer, shot seven mutineers before they killed j her. A captain, pressed by bis Sepoys, with bis good sword slew twenty-six of j them before he fell. A Black-Coated Soldier. Iter. Mr. Caldwell's wife was murdered during the sack of a village by tbe British, when Knyphausen was marauding tbe Jerseys. At the fight of Springfield, Caldwell dealt retribution upon his foes. None showed more ardor in the fight, than Caldwell tbe chaplain. The image of his murdered wife was before Lis eyes. Finding the men in want of wadding, he galloped to the Presbyterian church, and brought thence a quantity of Watts' Psalm and Hymn Books, which be distributed for the purpose among the soldiers.

'"And I have twenty-live more," cried oat another. "And I twice twenty -five," said a gruff Toice from the midst of the crowd. All this time the number of persooB outside was increasing, and very profane swearing was head about the door. Mr. Handy stepped to the wiudow to get a view of the assemblage, and seeing that all the movable part of Quodiibet was gathering in frout of the building, he re tired with some trepidation into the Di rectors' room, and informed Mr.Flam and the Board of what was going on. They had a pretty good suspicion of this before Mr. Ilaudy returned, for they had dis tinctly heard tbo uproar. Mr. Handy no sooner communicated the fact to them, than Mr. Flam, with considerable.. pertur bation in his locks, rose and declared that Quodiibet was iu a state of insurrection and, as every one mast be aware that, in the midst of a revolution, no bank could be expected to pay specie, be moved, in consideration of tbe menacing state of af fairs, that the Patriotio Copperplate Bank of Quodiibet. suspend specie payments, forthwith, and continue the same uutil such time as a re-cstablishment of public peace should authorise resumption. This motion was gracefully received by tbe Board, and earned without a division. Daring this interval, the conspirators hat ing learned, throngs their leader, Flat Sucker, that the Hon.

It conclude aa follows : "Never buy U3eles clothing. Keep a good suit fir Sundays and other pubiio days, bat let y oar common wearing appar el be good substantial elothes and linen of your own manufacture. Let your wives and daughter lay aside their plnmet. Feathers and fripperies suit the Cherokees cr the wencb in your kitchen, but they little become the fair daughters of Ameri ca ; out cf the dry goods imported you may save 50,000 a year. Savings may amount to 150,000 a year : more than enough to p?y the interest of onr pubiio dtbts. My countrymen, I am not trifling with yon. I am serious ; yoa feel the facts I stste ; yon know yoa are poor, and ought to know the fault is all your own. Are you not satisfied with the food and drink which this country affords? the beef, the pork, the wheat, the eorn, the batter, the cheese, the cider, the beer, those lux uries which are heaped in profusion npon your table? If not, yon must expect to be poor. In vain do yoa wish for mine of gold and silver; a mine would be the . . !,. . n , 1 1 UMI n ; greatest cuias ilivuik u i try. There is gold and silver enough in j the world, and if you have not enough of , it, it is because you consume all you earn ; in nselesa tood and dress, in am at ! yoa wUb. t increase the quantity of cash by s mint or by paper emissions. Should it rain millions of joes into your chimneys, on your present system of ex penses you would still have no money. It would leave the country ia streams. Trifle not with serious subjects nor spend your breath in empty wishes. Reform, econo mise; this is tbe whole of your political duty. Yoa may reason, speculate, com ' plain, raise mobs, spend life in railing at j Congress and your rulers, but unless you j import less than yoa export unless you pend less than yoa earn you will eter nally be poor.
