of a number of such who has made money,

number who have squandered away much
precious time. There is a lack of econo
my too. We have seen manure suffered
to ,ixposed around the barn from yeat
its year; wasting with the rains and sun;
and the land suffering front the loss of it.
And there is a large amount of crops of
yarieus kinds, destroyed every year, be
fause the
fences are not sufficient to pro
:Feet them. This is positive loss, saying
tiothitig about the strife which it engen
4ers• among neighbors. We will relate
RHe example to show how time (which is
Rut. money) is lost.
A farmer went to a mechanic to get a
pieee of work done to his sleds ; he stated
b;hat, and hota he wanted it done, then
asked what he would charge him. Ile
was promptly answered,—i - 52. "-Well,'
pays he, " if I let you :do it, huw soon
ivald I have it. dune r". In two hotirs
and a half, sir, you can have it all finished."
Well, I gusss I will look farther around.
And, if I can't get it (lune . cheaper, I will
cone back and !4 you do :it." " All
right sir," ws the answer. lie left ; and
7,7% he did cot get back it was thonght he
bad made abetter bargain. Next day he

sleds, but had to go home without them.

to to home. Ile lived 3 miles from the
pf.--ot and counting his first trip, made i
altogether 24 miles; traveled, too, with
oxen. This was saving money with a
nngeance. Nor is this a solitary case.
We' could give a number of the same

If economy was practiced, debts would
be smaller, for thitir canse would in a i

The more the public becomes acquaint
ed with the g reat revival now in progress,
the more gnod will be accomplished by it.
The New York Curnmxrcial ILlrertiser
bears the following testimony in favor of
the benign Influence of the present "Grey
Awakening :"
" .'..ever, perhaps, certainly never during the
lifetime of the pre , ent generation, was a re,
iigious movement less open to ridicule, or 1e1...s
liable to exception of any kind We say this
.vithout any hesitation or qualification, There
been from the fist, 'and is now, nothing
p;etentioos in it; nothing extravgagant ; noth
ing forc,d . or factiti:ms. It grew up tt:inotic
e3 ; it came almost literally without observa
tion or remark. and was firA seen in some of
its bnne cent fruits. Its iicrease has been
gradual, though rapid and great, and has
been free, to a wonderful extent, from secta
ranism and from extremes. of every kind.—
Work: of this kind i 3 to he judged of by its
effects upda the people, and upon those who
:ire pr.miinent in its promotion •, and, judged
by this standard, the present religious-move
ment is justified before Op world, for its influ
ence has been meliorative of sectarian asper•
ities and Ppomotive 'of fraternal feeling."
The reader will observe that the great
revival now in progress in Net Yqrk "was
first seed in sqtue 'of its benqfieentlruip.'l
That it is free Nal sectarianism, and
that it is justified before the world, and
"world's people" by its proulotioq of fra
ternal feefiina,
Oh foi• siwh a religioqs awakening as
this in Coudersport • and to this end let
every person who desires it, humbly and
pra3erfully enquire what obstacles it any,
he or she has thrown in the way, and
What can be done to secure "its heneti,

. THE REVIVAL.
•The g•reat turning of the publie mind
to religtOn forms so marked au event in
our present times that even secular pa
pers are noticing it. For the most part,
too, their notices aro not scoffing or disre- ,
spectful, but tentative, serious, and sug
gestive. They seem to say, "There is
need enough among us of a revival of re
ligion, heaven knows—pray God only that
it be real, and of the right kind."
They sny, We hope it. will do some
poi to men in a political and busineaa
car y lc i ty _.:... t h at it will make them liongst.
and true; and upright., and magnanimous.
"No revival has over done anything for
Wall street yet," says one—,'•roe hopa this
may.' ' '•11'o hope,"•says•another, "that
prayer for the slaVe may not ba consider
ed an intrusion in those frequent prayer
meeting's; and that some - penitence may
be felt and expressed for the share which

nature..
All. this luny have some truth l in ;
but, nevertheless, it 4. fact. that relig
ious impalsea, all other impulses,
hove always owe over the world in waves.
begin with the day of Pentecost, in
which throe thousand were converted in
one day, we find all along the line of the
History of the Church that there wore
seasons wheit religious impulses were
more.than usually fervent, and religious
labors succesbful.
There were revivals under the preach
ing,
of Augustine . and Chrysustom; and!
the great force of the Reformation was!
not merely politiol or intellectual, but it
was the '?yep upheaving of the religious
Aement, brirtging all other reforms in its
train. 'The Reformation was a revive!
of rel;ginif. The revivals in England'
under the Wesleys and Whitfield inan
-gurated a new era there, which is felt to
day in the power of the dissenting ele
went and the improved state of things in
the Established Church. The preaching
of tho Wesleys; the Fletohers, and of!
Whitfield, to the colliers and eottars oft
England, was the first movement for the!
general religions instruction of the mass-I
es, and led the way to the multiplied la
bors of that kind with which England'
now ab•Junds, It is a noticeabl: fact in
all these oases, that they were followed
by political and moral reforms;--jthel
work proved itself divine by its benofieentl
results. This is a fair test. "lie that is!
of God, doeth the works of God;" and by .
this test should every socalled revival be
judged. Revivals tvhich Make men bet
ter, and bless society, have been
. and may
be realities. But the rule is without ex
ception, that every truly valuable thing)
has its counterfeit. When we read of
great revivals, where the Christian con
verts claim as a sacred right the privilege
of selling the members of. Christ for mon
ey; where they defend the breaking of
the marriage covenant at the will of the
master, and take away from the colored
member the right of testimony,' and arej
so lest to all moral sense as to see no harm
in any of these things, we hold that that
revival has been spurious and oonnter
feit. So also as to Northern churches,
which for reacons of expediency, and to
• carry ends of enole;•:lastical politics, have
Irefused to testify against these sins, we
I hold that a revival of religion that brings
jno repentance and reformation is false
land spurious,
j We believe in no raptures,_ in no exta
' cies ' in no experiences that do not bring
the soul into communion with Hint who
declared He came to set at liberty them
that are bound and bruised. Revivals of
religion have not been confined to Chris
tian countries. Old heathenism had
!them. Popish Rome has them. Mod
:ern heathenism has them. One and all
Hof these have had turns of unusual fervor
lin their way. One and all have had their
trances, illuminations, and mysterious ecs
tacies, those only are Christian re
vivals which 'mate; mat like Christ; or,
if they do pot make them like Him, at
lesat set them on the road of trying to be
like Him. We say, therefore, to our
friends, that the period of a great relig
lions impulse has come; that there will be.
revivals all over the land, either false or
1 true—either of a Christian or a heathen
!type; and by their fruits shall ye know
I them. We are glad to hear that some of
the most effective revival preachers, eon
j tine their attention very much to preach
ling to the church, We are glad to hear
that. It is quite necessary that those
who profess to be the exponents of relig
ion before the community, should have
some deeper and higher ideas of what rc
ligion
,is.
So that when they go forth with the
'ApOstolic message, -Repent and be con
verted every ono of you," they need not
be met with the scornful reply,-"Convert
ed, sir, converted to what Converted
into a man who defends slavery—con
verted into one 'who dares not testify
against a profitable wicke.dhess—convert
ed into a man whose religion never goes
into his counting-house--converted into
a man 7ho has no conscience in his pol
jOali !old who scoffs at the higher law of
God? No,.sir; I desire no such Conver
sio,Th. Whatever your raptures may be, I
desire. riq part with them.
And let the solemn question go out to
every Christian, to every parent, "DO-you
want your neighbors, friends, and chil
dren 'converted into such Christians, as
you have been ?" If not, is there not a
' deeper conversion necessary for you?

The Attempt to Inaugurate Des

Every person who has road the ;
pro.
oeedings of the present Congress, will re.
alize the necessity of It. J. Walkers ap
peal to " the people in cveiy town, county,
and state" to rt rise in their majesty to the
resale,"
The proceedings of Congress, and 'espe
cially the action of the Kansas Special
Committee, shows that " the Liberties of
the county are in danger.". When this
Committee was appointed, Congress ) :" in.
" striated them to inquire into all the facts
" oonneeted with the formation of said
(Leeompton) Constitution, and the laws
" under which the same was originated,
" and into all such facts and proceedings
as hare transpired 'since the formation
of said. Constitution, having relation to
" the question or propriety of the adinis-'
" sion of said Territory into the Union un
" der said Constitution, and whether the
" same is acceptable and satisfactory to a
" majority of the legal voters of Kansas,
" and that they have power to send for
" persons and papers."
These instructions the Special Commit
tee have set at defiance, and have refused I
to inquire into any of the facts connecte d
with the Lecompton Swindle. Thus the
order of the peoples representatives in
I
Congress has been diSobeyed, .at-the dic
tation of the President, an insult to Con- I
gress, which no Committee of the House
of Commons in England have ever ciatcc/I
to offer to parliainent. This bold attempt
to inaugurate despotism in Washington,
is in part the work of Ar.r.rsoN WRITE,
I the member of Congress from this Dis--1
trict, he being one of the Spedal Kansas
Committee. If he had obeyed the order
of the House, there would have been a
I majority of the Committee in favor of do
ing what it was instructed to do—but his
. vote was uniformly given for the Slave
Power, and for the rule of the mimority
in Congress as well as in Kansas. And
this is styled democracy. Can anybody
tell the difference between such detnooraoy
and the Despotism of Paris or St. Peters,
bur..?
If the Clinton Democrat and LyComing
Gazette had the spirit of men in them,
I this outrage would not have becti cow

I by appropriate comments, would have in

have made their wishes respected by Mr.,

on his constituents, and jerks to the
