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

A Short Sermon.
"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

arly applicable So times of pecuniary dis- i
tress, especially, although at all times wor- j

Those particularly addressed, are,
those "who have this world s goods, in
such abundance as to be able to part with

Such should care for their brethren
of the human family, and especially of
the household of faith, aud should minis

of charity, and the curse pronounced npon
hardheartcdness and covetousncss, are f re-
! sented in the strong language of an inqui

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

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

upon us to seek out the really destitute

The strancer, the vicious, the poor, the
: sick, the disheartened, even those who
would rather die than ask all these "have

! 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

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 :

deserve to be associated with those valor- j

Bes read in b'story. In one place a lady j

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. ''Now,"
cried he, "put Walts into them, boys 1"

sixty dollars, and I'll thank you for cash."
'"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.

N'oah Webster, the great Spelling
Book and Dictionary man, wrote a letter
to bis neighbors, in 1786, in relation to
"bard times," which read aa wU now m
it did seventy years ago. 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.
