_ HOMAGE PAID BY MODERN SCIENCE
RELIGION, is one of the most encourag.
signs of the times. This has been it
mated not merely by the sensation pro
ul first, by the arrival in this country of
great African discoverer, Dr. Living
whom the Learned Societies, and the
have delighted to honor, is well as
e garlands thrown on the bier of Hugh

"the Christian Geologist," but,
by the direct testimony brought by
ard and Rawlinson, from the monuments
Assyria and Babylon, to the confirmation
the claims of Scripture to be indeed a
Lido° from God.
.et week I had ,the pleasure of listening
lecture from the lips of an eminent dis•
rer, Colonel Sir Henry Rawl:nson.
I gentleman was a long time in the ser
of the East India Company, and is now
of the Directors at home. He spent
,t twenty -years, as he stated a short time
among the Neetorians, and was witness
,he wonderful revival and revolution ac
plished among them by means of the
Jrican Missionaries. He was, since then,
ong those regions extending from Nine

South, which may be described as be

tavations were not made, like Llyard's, at
leveh, but rather at or near the site of

cuneiform inscriptions on ancient slabs
monuments, Colonel Rawlinson pursued
investigations with great ardour, and
remarkable results.

And so it was, and this, too. as held in Sir
Henry's hands, and read off and translated
to us, was written by, or by the orders of, the
great Netpchadnezzar himself, and was the
commemoration of his destruction of Jerusa
lem ! The audience, like myself, was
thrilled by this astonishing resurrection of a
buried witness for God and his Word.
Verily, if men will blaspheme, the very
stones themselves will cry out !
In connexion with this Lecture, allow me
to mention that it was the Inaugural Dis
course to a series of lectures to be delivered
on Winter evenings, at St. Martin's Hall, for
the benefit of " The Scriptural Museum,"
just established. This Museum is something
quite new, and its- object is to awaken and
stimulate an interest in the study of the
Scriptures, and, at the same time, to collect
materials for their elucidation and historical
accuracy.
Already there has been a considerable
collection made. Among the objects to be
seen, are landscape scenery of Palestirie and
Syria, together with specimens of their pro
ductions. Besides these, are models of Je
rusalem ; illustrations of the civil and eccle
siastical polity of the Hebrews; diagrams,
showing oriental customs, together with the
Tabernacle temple, - proseuchae, and syna
gogues ; dress of High. Priests, Priests, and
Levites; temple vessels; musical inytra
ments; domestic antiquities, such as tents,
houses, furniture, covering of heads,' phy
lacteries, signets, rings, sandals, and precious
stones.
To these are added Sinaitic inscriptions,
manuscripts, poetry, painting, agricultural
implements, weights and measures, treat
ment of the dead, and funeral rites. There
is also about to be collected and placed in
the Muleum, a library of Biblical Literature.
Of the important bearings of this Insti
tution on what is dear to the Church of
Christ, I need not dwell. I am persuaded
that your readers will excuse and justify the
length of my remarks, both on the Scriptu
ral Museum, and on the Lecture of Colonel
Rawlinson.
Turning to the subject of COLLEGIATE
TRAINXNG, the following will indicate the
care now being taken to give a thorough
education to the candidates for the ministry,
among the English Baptists, at their new
College, in London, of which Dr. Angus is
the Principal :
"In the first and second Sessions each student
Is taken through text books on Sermonizing,
and referred to books on English composition.
Each brings up, every fortnight, the sketch of a
;Sermon, his own, or an analysis of a good model
Sermon, another's (Jay, or Hale, or Baxter, or
Howe, or Barrow.) The students of the tirst
year are also expected to supply, among them,
tour preaching stitions ' where we have Sunday
schools; and service on Sunday evenings, and in
the week. Eash student, moreover, takes his
turn in family worship, and writes two full Ser
mons each Session, which are rend and criticised
in the presence of his fellow students; and, after
the first, or sometimes the Second Session, each
takes his turn in supplying vacant pulpits. For
some years past we have also had training in
Elocution —first under Mr Richard Tones, and
smee his time, under Sheridan Krt,..wles. The ob
ject of this training is simply to correct faults and
wake our men natural. Indistinct utterance, bad
pronunciation, awkward postures, unnaturalnesses
of tvery kind, are rebuked, and, if possible, cured.
The first effect of such training (and, in a few
cases, the last) is often to make matters worse;
but generally, and in the end, the men are greatly
improved. An earnest, manly, natural utterance,
that shall make itself heard and felt, is the thing
aimed at. Such is the chief part of our formal
preparation.. There are other parts less formal,
but hardly leas important. The private religious
,meetings of the students, their discussion class,
the study of good models of composition, the
habit of hearing eminent Preachers,(though apt
to be injurious in some respect's) the genius loci,
which is ever suggesting that it is the business of
their lives to become faithful men, " able to teach
others," and make everything conduce to that
end—all do their part, and are the more influen
tial as they are incessant in their operation, and
not avowedly portions of an educational appar
atus."
Fuom CHINA, we have news ten days
later than the previous accounts, from
which it appears, that, in consequence of
their boats being fired on, the Americans
had attacked and destroyed .the Barrier
forts at Canton, mounting no less than one
hundred and sixtyfive guns. There were
five men killed, and five wounderi. It is
said that the quarrel will now 'be left, by
both French and Arnericans, in the hands
of Admiral Seymour and the British. The
Imperial Commissioner continued as obeti•
nate as ever.
Lord Clarendon, in reply to a memorial of
London merchants engaged in the China
trade, speaks of the necessity of negotiating
a new Treaty with China. It is plain that
important providential results are about to
follow this unexpected affair. But it seems
as if, in China, chaos must precede the
brooding spirit on the face of the waters.
The German missionaries in the province
of Canton have escaped imminent perils.
They were obliged to pay a ransom for their
lives. Three Americans, (not missionaries,)
taken prisoners, were put, to death, and their
heads were publicly exposed.
The OPSIMI TRADE, carried on between
India and China, has proved very disastrous
to life and morals ; and a movement has
been initiated in London, headed by Lord
Shaftsbury, to abolish it. In the English
Presbyterian Messenger for the present
month, will be found a very valuable paper
on the subject, drawn up, I have reason to
believe, by one of our office-bearers at Liver
pool, and a merchant who is conversant with
the statistics and facts of the whole case.
It is so clear, and so temperate, that if suita
ble for your columns, I should be glad to
see it inserted. -
There are great difficulties in the way of
abolishing a trade so rapidly increasing, and
so lucrative. General Alexander, at the
public meeting, said, that the proper reply
to the question, " What will the East India
Company do without the revenue drawn
from opium ?" was that given by the ancient
prophet to A.maziah, who asked, " What
shall be gives. me for the three hundred
talents P "The Lord," said the prophet,
" is able to give unto thee , much more than
this."
Public Companies, alas! do not yet act on
true Scriptural principles, in matters like
this. Somebody says, that 46 a Corporation
has no .conscience;"and it is undoubtedly
true, that men will, as bodies, do what, as
individuals, they would shrink from. Let
us hope and pray, however, that, instead of
Opium, Christianity may speedily saturate
China ; and that, ere long, ‘i the land of
Sioira" shall be subject to our , glorious
King,
Retribution slowly, but surely, has come
on the pathway of CRIME. Last week, the
principals in the ." Great Gold Robberies,"
in which a guard of the South-Eastern Rail
way was an accomplice, and which, with ex
traorclinary cleverness, had been both planned
and execute4l, were convicted. Next came
the trial of Leopold Redpath, who had de
frauded, by forged bonds, the Great North
ern Railway of vast sums, and who lived,
for a time, in great splendor and luxury.
He, too, has received sentence of transport.

ation for life. I believe that the effect of
these righteous verdicts will be salutary.
Modern crime plays for high stakes. It is
marked by-rare ingenuity, and requires cor
responding ability to detect and put it down.
Yesterday, I was present at the consecra
tion of a NEW DISTRICT CHURCH, in the
Parish of Islington, by the Bishop of Lon
don. This is one of a number of new
churches about to be built in this populous
London. Parish, in which, above all others
in the metropolis, Evangelism prevails. In
deed, Puseyism is not permitted to "peep
or mutter" within its bounds; and as for
Romauism, a Protestant Institute is con
stantly engaged in confronting and ex
posing it.
The new church is built in the early
Norman style of architecture. There is not
the trace of any Romanizing symbol in the
whole building. The Bishop recited pray
ers, of a Scriptural character, in which the
place was solemnly dedicated to the worship
of Grd, and his blessing implored. The
procession, headed by him, and consisting of
more than forty persons, of whom the greater
number were clergymen, in gowns and
bands, reminded one of the old Romish
custom. But there were no ringing of bells,
burning of incense, or sprinkling of holy
water, nor genuflections toward "the altar."
I had seen the Bishop of London before,
at St. Paula; but it, was in the thick gloom
of .a November day, and at a distance. Yes
terday, be passed close by me; and as he
preached, I sat almost -beneath the pulpit.
He looks not more than forty-five years. of
age. His figure is tall and spare„ His fea
tures are email, and his head not massive,
but compact, with the observing faculties
large, and very little ideality, (if any,) which,
if it.prevents him being brilliant, leaves his
common sense—which seems a leading char
acteristic—full play.
His temperament is calm, his aspect un
ostentatious,' and his voice singularly clear
and sonorous, without anything of pomposity
and affectation.
His sermon was founded on the 23d.Psalm,
4th verse—" Yea, though I walk," &c. He
began by indicating the different passages
in. Scripture, in which the phrase, " The
hadoto of death," occurs; and pointed out
that it had thus attached to it five different
meanings, viz., danger, fear, affliction,
death,, and despair. Taking up each of
these ideas, he showed that confidence in
Jesus Christ, the Shepherd and Redeemer,
through the grace of the Holy P-host, was
sufficient to sustain, amid
• them all. When
he spoke of death and bereavement, his face
was agitated, and his eye filled with tears,
as if the •memory of his five children, who
all perished last year, within a few weeks,
of scarlet fever, came up upon him.
He referred, under the head of danger,
to shipwreck, and the confidence displayed
therein by Christians, who knew nothing
previously of scenes ,of terror, describing
the case of a minister known to him, who,
in such a crisis, had calmly gathered the
Frightened passengers around him, and
prayed until, all but a remnant were swept
away.
As to the fear of death, he quoted the
dying expressions of Dr. Samuel Johnston,
as to his faith in Christ, and fearlessness
of death, in contrast with that fear of death
which had for so many years held him in
hondage._, It was to teach men how to tri
umph over danger and death, that churches
were reared, where the Gospel of Jestis
Christ was to be preached, in clearness and
power.
There was not one word of " our Church,"
of " priesthood," or anything sectarian in
the whole sermon. One might, desiderate a
fuller statement of the way , of salvation;
but yet there was enough to show, that the
new Bishop of London is a devout and hum
ble man, chastened and purified by affliction,
and ready to further and advance the highest
interests of this vast diocese. He has iden
tified himself, recently, with the Lord's Day
Society, and the Sabbath cause.
The CONGREGATIONAL UNION meets in
London this day, with closed dears. There
will be, I fear, a storm. Dr. Campbell, for
merly of the British Banner, now of the
British Standard, has, it is understood, a
considerable body of the : country ministers
on his side. These last may be a little, jeal
ous of their metropolitan brethren, who,
perhaps, affect :a little superiority, from their,
position. Besides this, there is a strong sus
picion that the New School Theology is in
dorsed by many, and that Dr. Campbell,
even with all his violence, is right in .prin
ciple; and that there is ground for his
charges, in the main.
The death of Dr. Harris aggravates the
position much. For, to find a successor, who
will command confidence, is no easy matter.
Doctor Campbell, in a very damaging article
in his new paper, points out thatfive of the
" protesters, ' anal friends of Mr. Lynch and
The Rivulet, are Trustees of the new Col
lege. This will generate suspicion all over
the country. There id mischief brewing.
In my next, I may, perhaps, be able to •tell
you• something more definite. Meantime, it
is worthy of remark, that our Presbyterian
theology, and that, of the rising party in the
Established Church, is essentially one; and
that there seems to have begun among.
Congregationalists,,a downward course to
ward error.. •
It is rumored that THE ASSASSIN of the
Archbishop of Paris may be only, im
prisoned for life, from insanity being in his
family. His conduct at the trial was marked
alike by violence and vanity.
There is some anxiety about THE WAR IN
PERSIA, and its ultimate results. Russia is
behind the scenes, and must be watched.
Circasaia has begun afresh, her resistance
to the Czar.
The Swiss have won great
. glory by, their.
, successful resistance to Prussia . and liberty

Washington Correspondence.
WASECINGI'ON, Feb. 9, 51857.
Since Mr. Buchanan's departure, the political
elements that were so much stirred for a week,
have gradually subsided into their wonted com
posure. He left without indicating any positive,
preference for his cabinet, or inviting a single
member to his future council-board. Still, there .
were some unmistakable inferences ; and from
these it is reasoned, that Mr. Marcy, Gen. Cass,
Mr. Walker, and Mr. Hunter, • are • all excluded
from the programme. They were each urged
with some degree of zeal for the Department of
State; and , even now, efforts are still prosecuted
for one ormore of theta, with Rersistent purpose.
Considering that the prominent names are thus
precluded, the natural inquiry is, who will get
the Premier's place ? The general conviction
here, in the best informed circles, is, that Mr.
Cobb, of Georgia, is uppermost in the revolving
wheel of fortune. He stands near• to Mr. Bu
chanan's confidence and partiality; and, while
possessed of respectable ability, has no overshad
owing statesmanship. His probable colleagues, will
be, Mr. „Tones, of Pennsylvania; Mr. Bright,' or
Mr. Wright, of Indiana; Mr. Toucey, of Connec
ticut; Mr. Floyd, of Virginia; Mr. Brown, of
Tennessee,; and Mr. Pickens, of S. Carolina. The
two last are only considered contingencies, while
the others are regarded as decided probabilities.
At one time, Mr. Buchanan was known to have
entertained the purpose of inviting an Old Line
Whig, who bad acted with the Democratic party
in the. Presidential election, into his cabinet ; but
this inclination was abandoned, upon the remon
. _
Arai:ices 'of political Meads, after his visit here,
and will hardly be revived. Gen. Case has taken
occasion to deny, privately, hat he was consulted
in any way by Mr. Buchannn, either in regard to
the personal composition of the Administration,
or concerning its public policy.
The only member of Gen. Pierce's cabinet who
was asked into conference at all, was Mr. Jeffer
son Davis, the Secretary of War ; and be has ex
pressed himself well satisfied with the develop
ments then made. Mr. Davis belongs to the
ultra school of Southern politicians ; and this ex
hibition of partiality toward him, over all others,
has excited comment.
There is no warrant for the rumor, that Gen.
Pierce has accepted an invitation from Mr. Bu
chanan, to be his guest, fora time, after the 4th
of March. AU the necessary preparations have
been made by the household, to vacate the prem
ises on the 3d; and after attending the ceremo
nies of inauguration the next day, the mansion
will be formally delivered np. Subsequently, the
family will take up their residence temporarily
with Mr. Marcy, who proposes to remain in Wash
ington till Spring.
The proceedings of the late Treaty made
between Mr. Dallas and Lord Clarenden, for the
adjustment of our Central American difficulties,
have occasioned both surprise and regret. In the
first debate, on Tuesday, the objections suggested
were not pressed with any such feeling as justi
fied the belief, that they would be urged to the
point of its direct or qualified rejection. They
appeared to be thrown out, as if with the design
of eliciting explanation. But when the subject
was taken up the following day, a very different
feeling exhibited itself. Then serious opposition
took form and substance; and there was every
prospect, if a division had been demanded upon
the Treaty, that it would have been defeated.
Its avowed friends, and • others who were not de
cided opponents, united in a recommendation to
re-commit to the Committee on Foreign Relations,
in the hope of producing some amendments that
might be satisfactory. , In this expectation, how
ever, little confidence is entertained. To make
the modifications required by those who are ex
treme in opinion, would be .to destroy the whole
vitality of the Convention; and nothing short of
such changes will satisfy them. The point of
most difficulty, is the obligation, on our side, not
to colonize, or expand; according to the progres
sive sentiment of Young America. Walker's
champions, and other sympathizing spirits, see
in any such engagement, a limitation to lawless
filibustering; . and, as they believe that manifest
destiny requires us to absorb this continent,centu
ries before we have peopled ourpres6t territory.
they resist every obligation that seemingly checks
the career of cowl - nest. If the last accounts from
Nicaragua be well founded, Walker's future is
surrounded with dark omens ; and nothing but
the distractions of his allied enemies can save him
from that fate which Divine Wisdom limg since
inculcated, viz., that they , g Who • live by the
sword, must perish by the sword.'
Although the last intelligence rrorn Eng
land announces the arrival of Lord Napier in
London, to make prepnpation forhia mission here,
the opinion is not entertained that he will present
himself until after the fourth of March. Indeed,
the impression prevails strongly in diplomatic
circles, that it is the design of the ministry to
prevent his coming until the advent of the new
Administration, intending thus to exhibit some of
the resentments which the dismissal of Mr. Cramp
ton is supposed to have excited in the breast of
Lord Palmerston. If the treaty now pending be
fore the Senate, should be ultimately rejected, es
it probably will be, if called up again, the er
ror of an appointment like that of Lord Napier,
will be at once made manifest. He is a young
man, trained in the red tape school' of diplomacy,
with all its prejudices,.oonventionalities, and re
straints. We want, on the other hand, a man of
large views, capable of understanding our people
and interests, and liberal to appreciate that the
world is quite wide enough for both England 'and
the United States. Such a man was . Lord Ash
burton, who negotiated the arrangement of the
North-Eastern Boundary question, with Mr. Web
ster, and such a man the prosent relations, and
future good will of the two countries now requires.
We came near being involved in a collision, by
the indiscrete zeal of Mr. Crampton, who, like his
successor, was a person of ordinary standard, and
bad none of that public character which is some
times required for responsibility, outside of the
beaten track, or prescribed routine of official duty.
With the temper which that controvercy evolved,
it became manifest, if the two countries were to
live on friendly terms with each other, no chances
of such disagreements, should be again put into the
hands of inferior agents. We sent England, a
man who had been Vice President' of the United
States, and who had a public reputation, extend
ing throughout the whole nountry. • They' have
returned this compliment with a 'young -sprig of
nobility, whose highest rank in ,the diplomatic
service, has been that , of hereditary to an Em
bassy.
Although no formal revelations have been
mabe by the Committee on investigation, still,
through the crevices of testimony divulged by
various witnesses, the conviction has .gained
ground; thatlour or five members may be serious
ly implicated—so seriously, as to demand summa
ry action on the part of the house. It is barely
practicable, that the report may be submitted dur
ing the present week, because in the absence of
Witnesses summoned from a distance, the. Commit
tee have been collecting the evidence, and getting
ready to sum up, whenever the remaining facts
can be obtained.
judge Daniels, who has been detained from the
Supreme Court ever since the lamentable death
of his wife, will immediately resume his seat in the
bench, and then the consultations on the Missouri
Case, will begin without farther delay.
But three w - eeksremain of the Session, and thus
far the public business is very much in arrears.
Several of the appropriation bills are yet hanging'
by the eyelids ; and the Tariff, which has at
tracted, 'at last, some little attention, will be dis
posed of in some form or ether., There is no
probability that the bill reported by tlie Commit
tee can, pass ;Wand it will depend upon circum
stances, if combinations for special objects saan
be formed, at the last moment, and, spelled to the

At the Annual Meeting of the Company, in

150 miles of the seconil track are now laid, adding
greatly to the facilities for ,business, and the

$1,000,000, beyond the preparation on hand, will
be needed.
A general passMiger station, for the accoMmo

This is one of the excellent Agricultural
papers of the country, embracing with instructien
respecting fields and their contents, and handbags
and their adaptations, much that is useful by the

Coal Burning Locomotives.
The increasing scarcity of wood makes it highly
desirable that locomotives should be so construct
ed as to use coal. After many trials, it seem■
that the end has been attained. Several have
been manufactured, by 'the Messrs. Norris, on
Phlegel's plan, which are • said to answer the
purpose admirably. Either anthracite or Ntu
minous coal may be used, and the latter, without kk
coaking, as r the construction is such that the !
smoke is all consumed.

Arrivals from Europe bring details of news to
the 25th of January. There have been more,
perhaps, than the usual amount, of-storms and
shipwreck. Politiesiwere rather quiet, though
the near approach of the British Parliament,
which had been summoned for the 3d inst., for
the dispatch of business, caused some specula
tions.
England.
There 'were rumors of an intended remoddeling
of the cabinet; but not with, a view to any ,essen
tial change in policy.
The British fleet has captured :the forts of
Bushere, and the Island of Barrack, in the Persian
Gulf. It is rumored, also, that the Russians have
occupied Astrachan.
The Swiss diffieulty, though nominally settled,
is to be referred to 'a conference.
Later from China.
The adviees from China state that, the Canton
ese authorities continuing obstinate, the British
had taken and destroyed the French Folly Fort.
The Chinese had set fire to all the foreign facto
ries; the. Bongs were also destroyed, and the
Oriental, the Agra, and the Mercantile Batiks
burped. ' •
The shelling of Canton commenced just as, the
mail steamer was departing.
The Pays says :—We learn, from a private letter,
that the Catinat was in the Macao Roads on Be
2. At that date, 116113 had arrived that
the Court, of Pekin had.tsentenced the Viceroy
Yeb to 'degradation, for having illy defended the
town of Clanton against the. English attack. This
faot seems to prove that Chinese government
will not yield unless a demonstration be made
against the heart of the Omp_ire." .•

MADRID, Jon. 19.—The insurgent .band, under
the%brothers Ilierros, has presented its claims to
be
,included in the amnesty. The Gazelle con
tains a declaration to the effect that the most per
fect understanding prevails among the', various
Members of the government.
MADRID; Wednesday, Jan. 31,—The government
will grant reasonable freedom in the forthcoming
elections. The proposed law, relating to the
works of Puerto de Sol, will be submitted to the
Cortes.
The PrinCipalities.
VIENNA, Thursday, JAE. 22.—Instructions for
the evacuation of the Principalities by the Aus
trian troops have been sent off this day to Buch
arest and Jassy. The homeward march is to be

Switzeilasid.
The settlement of the difficulty between . Switz
erland and Prussia. is a matter of rejoicing to
the friends of political freedom The whole'poprti
laden of Switzerland does not exceed that of
the single city ofLondon ; and yet she maintains
here republican independence. Single handed
she could not maintain'the conflict against Prus
sia, which is, a first rate power, but still, she
would be hard to conquer in her mountain fast
nesses, and then she always has friends. In this
instance, - England and France- united iss media
tarc ;, and when suah.powers interpose their offices
of conciliation, their advice is not likely to be nn-
V awns
Tbo merchants of the principal commercial
cities of France, have appealed to the Emperor
in behalf of the French' citizens who suffered by
toe destruction of Greytown, by the American frig
ate Cyan.;
The trial of Verger, for the murder of the Arch
bishop of Paris, has ended in: his, conviction..
The plea of insanity—which, as, a mode of
accounting for the perpetration of, atrocious,
crimes, is now much in vogue—was re
jected, and no extenuating circumstances were
allowed to break the force of the condemnation,
or to mitigate the; punishment. His guilt was
clear—ln : . the old language of „ the - law, :he
was 'taken "'cred hand." ' The papers tire now
filled with details of they wretched man's early
career ; and, after making all due allowance for
that :not very amiable principle in our nature
which leads so many to trample on a fallen man,
enough remains to
. show that Verger was, from
early youth, a man of violent passioni, which
neither principle nor prudence could restrain. It
is remarkable that the horrible • crime of which
theArehbishop was the victim, has not tended to
increase respect for his office among the Paris
ians. The different reports from that capital con
cur in representing the inhabitants ,
as treating
the event with indifference, if not with levity.
There is no sympathy for the assassin; but
there is as little pity for his victim. Coupled
with other events occurring there, this is a sig -
'docent fact.

Mr. - Rill was a native of Washington County, Pa, where
he resided until little more than a year before his death.
He was for' Many years a member of the Presbyterian

moved to Ohio ; and soon after his arriving at hie new homes
I had the pleasure of assisting in organizing a Presbyterian
church in Fostoria. In this church he was elected an elder;
andfduring his short Asti - deuce among us, endeared himself
to many friend.. His sickness was long andpainful; yet he
was patient and resigned. Ilia death was

of her age
This estimable lady wee the daughter of Even Miles; one.
of *very extensive and highly respectable family, in her
native State. She had been, for ab,ve thirty yearsor mem
ber of the Presbyterian Ohurch; under the pastoral care of
Rev: Dr. Lllll3. Of a will Cultivated mind, deeply sensitive,
possened of most exalted conception- - of the purity of the
Christian, having transierident views of the change which
the soul experiences in regeneration, when old things pass
away, , and ell things become new, and wishing to make her
calling and election sure, she did not run her race without
many strugglings, net:without some Painful fears. Britain:
triumphed. Her petlewas that of the just. Her faith grew
more firm. Her .hope brightened, as.years advanced; and
she departed in peace*, saying, " Lord Jesus, receive my
spirit!". "Blessed are the deal which die in the Lord."
Mrs. Blanchard left two children—one a recent graduate
of Lafayette College, and the other a member of the Belle

The subject of this notice departed this life in the tri
umphant hope of a bleseed immortality. Moving come;
with her husband to the West, a few years since, to Sedan
earthly home, on the 7th of April, ]865, they found a home
among the people of God in French Grove church. Now
that she haaleft us, we trust, only trarisPlanted from the
nursery on earth, to bloom forever in the flowery melds of
heaven. For about nine weeks, ebe patiently bore her sick
ness, showing to all around , that she "had been with Jesus,"mid that her hope was on high. Although arderitiy attached
to her husband, children, and friends, yet when she saw it
was God's tin*, willingly desired to depart, and to be with
Christ, which is far better. The Saviour in whom ithe
trusted forsook her not In the hour of trial. As." fades a
Summer , cloud atm, or dies a wave along the shore," she
wildly fell asleep in Jesus' arms. 'As her life was consist
ent; her death was ;easeful. Meek as a lamb, confiding as
en infant; amiable . and lovely as a Summer's morn, her
death left a vacuum wiaich•will not soon be tilled. Her be
reeved husband, and large circle of relatives and friends,
are consoled in her loss, that she now, sleeps In Jesus. Not,
one who watched with her, or witnessed her departure, but
was constrained to say, " Let me die the death of the right
erns, and let my last end be like his." - Cost.

her faith in Christ, and united with the Presbyterian
Church.. ter° she . enjoyed, fore timo;-the' teachingei of

would she refer to those "solemn tittles," as she was wont
to term them; and to lasting were those early imprersione;
that she always seemed to speak of them as occurrences
of but yesterday. After her marriage, she -moved to Wash
ington County, Pa., where she . resided up to the year 11345,
when she removed to Jefferson County, Ohio; s.nd there,
close to the scenes of her youth, surrounded by a laiieeircle
of friends and relatives, she spent the evening of her life.
It was not our privilege to be present during her last illness,
which was short, and to treasure up the last words of a fond
mother; but while we mourn that we obeli see her face no
more,.we know that to her, death Was gain. Iler's was &life
or prayer ; and her delight was in the panetnary of the
Most High, In speaking of which she would often exclaim,
in the beautiful language of the Psalmist, "flow amiable
ere thy tabernacle', 0 Lord of hosts," dte. After having
adorned the doctrines of her Saviour for more than half
‘entary, by a consistent walk and conversation, she has
been called away from the Church militant,from frionds and
relatives by whomabe was fondly beloved; but she his gone
to join the Church of the firsbb•rn in heaven, where assem
