The importance and practicability of an Din::

foe; .
"Resolved, That • the Synod most ;earnestly re
' commined to each of our P resbyteries ' having in
its bounds large vacant 'territory, and destitute
*communities, to organize as soon as possible, a
Systematic Itineracy. For this purpose:we ad.
vise that, After the example of a Presbytery in a
sister Synod, at least one minister be immediately
employed to explore these destitutions, , establish
preaching stations, organize chinches, visit the
families and secure attendance on the means.of
grace, and in every practicable method promote
the interests of vital religion. And in order,to
sustain these, efforts, the Synod would earnestly
advise, that the support of such Itinerant be con
sidered as the common and indispensable duty and *
Areatprivilege of all, the churches; , equally with
the support of their ownlastors. And, as, ordi;. - .
riarilY, these destitutions are greatest, where, the
ability is least, this Synod would urge;Upon our
strong churches the Insportinca'and neeessity of
aiding the weak in the common effort to build up
the cause which is dear to every pious heart, re
membering the words of the Lord Jesus, It is
more blessed, to give than to receive.' "

The Committee-on the 'state of .our missions in '
NOithern,lndia, presented the following Report,
Which was accepted and adopted:
"The Committee on the state of our Missions in
Northern India report:
• "That•the intelligence of the43tate of- things.as
connected with our missionary operations in‘that.
'part of the world, is of the most painful and
embarrassing character. The Lord seems to have
a' controversy with our Church in permitting the
6neray, in this case, to come in Upon us like a
flood. Some of our missionaries, it is to be feared,
have fallen victims to the• rage of savage men,
and those who may yet survive, appear to be
placed in situations of imminent 'peril ; great
pecuniary loseee have been sustained, and • our
missionary operations are almost entirely, sus
pended; and the latest,• intelligence, instead of
showing an abatement, indicates rpther an increase
of the difficulties and dangers by which our
missionary brethren and the cause are surrounded.
The state.of these missions, calls for the sympa
thies and the prayers of the' whole:Chi:mph. And
as some of the missionaries in the' midst of these
perils, are more'immediately connected with this
Synod ,by: local and family ties, we seem to be
specially called upon to•send up our cries to Him,
from whom alone deliverance can come, that he
would interpose on their behalf, and that of the
cause in which they are engaged; at the time
we greatly need`to* humble ourselves on account
of , our past,deficiinciesinreference to this great
cause, and of our sinful disregard of: the demand
which Abe necessities, of a perishing' world have
been making • upon use
"The Synod, therefore; in view of this state. of
thing; „do hereby recommend to 'all the pastors
and churchei within their heunds, tO.bring up the
state of, our MISSiODS in Northern India , to the
attention of their 'congregations, on the first Sab
bath of October next; and for their sins they send
up thhtr United ''cries 4 . 45 ( God 'on 'behalf drour
suffering brethren in India, thafileiwould remove
existing difficulties, restore peace, and open up
the way for the speedy consummation of `his
purpoies of mercy to that benighted land.

The Coinmittee on
,the Board of Colportage
reported the following paper, which was adopted :
"The Committee,- to whom was referred the'
report of the Board of Colportage, would snlynit
, the following: •
"They rejoice to, learn, from the Annual com
munication of the Board, that - arrangements are
now being made, , by which the expense hitherto
incurred in the support of the Depository in Pitts
burgh, will be obviated, and that the whole
amount collected in our churches for this cause,
can be applied exclusively to the maintenance of
Co/porteur effort. While we are ,not disposed to
regard what has been, thue far ,expended, in the
support of our Boolt:Rooms, as a useless outlay,
„yet there is. certainly
,great 'encouragement to
lnoreased liberaliiy, in the.fact; that all now col=
leated, may bo applied to the support of Colpor- ,
tpurs t ..hotively engaged „in their legitimate ,work.
They; regret that the fact,.that,tho meeting of
this' Sine& , anticipates, by some weeks,. the
THE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCATE
termination of the fiscal year of the Board,
rendering it impossible that a full report should
he made to Synod on this occasion. And , as the
inconvenience, to which the Board has been sub
jected on this account, must be one which will
yearly recur, without some joint, action ou the
part of the two Synods, it seems proper that this
body should adopt some plan for obviating the
difficulty. The report of the Board, suggests the
adoption of one of two plans. The first is a
change in the time for the meeting of this Synod.
As, however, any such alteration has been already
declined by a decided vote at our present meeting,
it seems scarcely necessary for your Committee to
recommend this course. The only other plan
proposed is such a change in the time of the
meeting of the Board as will enable them--to an
ticipate the meeting of this Synod.
"In view of the foregoing, your Committee
would recommend the adoption of the following
resolutions:
"Resolved, That in accordance With the sugges
tion of• tbe Board; the time of its Annual meeting
be changed to the Ist Tuesday-of September.
"Resolved, That a Committee, consisting of Rev.
Messrs. Louis L. Conrad, James Allison, and E. E.
Swift, be appointed to attend the approaching
meeting of the Synod of Pittsburgh, • with • the
viaw of securing their, concurrence in such action.
"Resolved, .That should the above-natued day be
regarded, by our Sister Synod as an unsuitable
time, we do then agree to concur int any other
appointment, adopted by them, which will accom
plish the.desired end.
Rev. .Messrs.. Leland R. McAboy, Robert B.
Walker and William , M. Blackburn, and Elders
Theo. H. Nevin,--Robert :.McKnight .and.

in the Board of Colportage.
Resolved, That it be enjoined upon: • all the

The -Dew.
" 0 dearest mother,-tell me, pray,
Why are the dew-drops gone so soon;
Could they not stay till close of day,
To twinkle on the flowery spray?
They're gone before 'tie noon."
" My child, 'tis sad such beauteous things,
Too often loved with vain excess,
Are swept, away by angel wings
Before contamination clings
To their pure loveliness.
"Behold yon rainbrow, brjghtening.yet,
To which all mingled hues' are given
These are thy dew-drops, grandly set
, In a resplendent coronet,
Upon the•brovr of Heaven.
"No earthly stain can reach .them there;
.
Woven with sunbeams there they shine,
A transient vision of the air,
But yet a symbolpure and fair
Of love and peace Divine."
The child looked upward into space,
With eager and inquiring eyes,
And o'er its sweet and.thoughtful face
Came a faint glory, and a grace
Transmitted,from,,the,skies, Asir.
With the last odorous sigh of May,.
That child beneath the 'flowers was laid;
Like dew, its spirit passed away,
To mingle in eternal day
With angels, perfect mad.

A Pleasiirit
Mu. Borron, :—I wish you and your ram,
ily had been with me and My family, in a
reeent I
,visit we made, to Dresden, and, vicin
ity. know you would have been both.
pleased 'and profited. I have sometimes
wondered'wlky you did 'not travel More, par-
ticularly in this beautiful. State of Ohio;
and more especially in the rich valley of our
lovely Muskingum.
don't you'? We all know.you here.
Yon could count your friends in this region
by the thousand. Come out and see us, and
I promise you a " good time." , The lines
have, fallen to us in pleasant places.. We
are. not choked with the clouds of smoke
that hang over such a horrible place as Pitts
'burgh; noiare We chilled with the, miasr
niatia"fogs that blight every good thing in
yon cold and swampy ",West."
But I must tell you what you would-have
seen, had you been with' us in our Dresden
trip.
Onr our way, we stopped a day at Concord,.
a village : of some note 'on the C. 0.
Railroad, where there is a College, two or,
three churches , two ; fine steam mills , alarg,e
maot.ine shop, a number of stores, and a
hnst.,ef neat residencen, oectlpied.k4nPelli;
gent and enterprising citizens. Nationally,
these people are nearly all of Scotch-Irish
extraction; religionsly,lhey are Calvinistic in
faith; politically, they are a little mixed;
but socially they are certainly among the
best people in the world. In proof of this,
look at that large procession of children
- marching the streets, under the guidance of
a number of young ladies and gentlemen.
This is a Union Sabbath-School celebration,
and they are on their way to a beautiful
grove, a short distance North of the town,•
where a long table stands, laden with. re
freshments, and where a large stage is erect
ed for a band of instrumental and vocal'
musicians.
' Now, Doctor, I wish you had been there
to have addressed the crowd of happy hear
ers that would have assembled before you in
the most perfect order. I know you would
have enjoyed it, and so would we. We did
enjoy it as it was: Speeches were made,
and all passed off in the most pleasant man
ner possible.
Did you ever ride, Doctor, in a country
carriage ? ' It's a four ivheeled vehicle
Without springs, tOp, or paint. No differ.
once. .11ere rs' one - let uS get into it. ' Off
we go. It's a little rough at first, for a city
gentleman ; but never mind, it won't hurt
you a particle to have your corpus shook a
little. We had ours, and it did us good.
Yive miles of a ride brought us to• the place.
of our birth, and the " sweet home" of our
childhood. Daring the last thirty years it
had changed some, but not so much as we.
The water in the old well tasted just as cold,
and as fresh, and as sweet as ever. The
fruit on the trees in the old orchard, was
just as mellow and as good as ever. The
corn that, stood in the old corn-field, just
looked-like the corn I bad long ago hoed
there—so did the green grass in the old
meadow, the flowers in the garden, and
even the very dust in the old lane, and
the oaks and rocks that covered the sur
rounding hills seemed the same as ever. I
looked upon all with a pleasing -melancholy.
,Around each , clustered some special reminis
cence of the days • of my boy-hood. I wish
you had been with me, Doctor. Some of
these I would have related 'to ,you • for my
own, rather than your gratification.
But the Sabbath comes. We all go to
church: To the same spot where years ago
I had weekly gone. -An elegant new church
edifice occupies the place of the old. • The pas
tor is the same. Time has but slightly sa
vored his locks----rior - . have the labors of
many long years 'dinipened, in the least,
either his mental or physical energy, or crip
pled-his personal or professional usefulness.
His influence among his people, increases
With his years; and, hereafter, when any
one wishes another example of the benefits
of a long pastorate, let them be referred to
R4v. Samuel' Willson, and his church, at Nor
'There,ia one 'of the finest Presbyte
rian congregations here that it has been my
privilege, lately, to see. The Sabbath was
one of the- happiest of my ministerial life.
In the course of the ensuing week, we bid
a reluctant farewell to this community,• and
went on to Zanesville: Our stay here was
short, but long enough to hear that Our
dear brethren Hoge and Platt were still grow
ing in favor and usefulness among the peo
ple of this city. They are both young men,
but - wiser and better men are not found
everywhere. May God bless and prosper
them the very important fields of labor
they occupy in this' interesting ,
A friend met Zanesville and took us,
in his carriage to his fine residence and farm,
a few miles South of Dresden. And now,
I tell you, Doctor, hadyOu been with us, you,
would` net only have seen a most beautiful
region of country, covered with lawns, gar
dens, orchards, and'`- corn -fields, - but you
would • have got every` conceivable good thine
possible, to eat.

city people .43an say. .to.,the contrary, good
eating enters largely into the sum of human
enjoyment The sensee - of seeing, I admit,
has its taste, and about this there his fong
been a dispute as to 'l67tat it is, and how it
is beat developed and cultivated ; architects
and' artists;.dilfering 'on the subject l And
connoisseurs in sound tell us that the ear
has its taste, too. But the greatest and most
important taste in man, is in his tongue. And
it, requires no, great labor to bring it out,
either, when in addition to all the manifold
luxuries of a rich farmer's larder, in the
form of good, white, fresh bread, fiesh-
Churned butter-milk, well cured -ham, fat
chickens, and big potatoes, we have set be
fore us mellons, honey in the comb, apples,
well-baked sweet potatoes, various kinds of
frnit.butters, and above all, ripe peaches and
fresh eream. .Had =you been with us and
got these, as we did, you would.doubtless
agree with me in thinking eye4aste and ear
taste, (iinportant as they are,) nothing to
tongue-taste. And now; if you people in
the city think us, country people epicures
because of ow .eating, we will turn round
and call you vain and foppish on account of
your. dressing. And although both of us
may go a little : too far sometinaes in both
eating and dressing, yet let not the, one either
envy or speak hard of the other, since each
have their own partinclar privilege.
We Will now go on' o Dresden. A great
show is in town. Thousands are silly enough
to attend it. The streets are crowded with
the rustic and the- rude. The humbug
"Calliope" is caning. It will greet them,
with music about as sweet as the whistle of
a locomotive, or the. sound of a saw-mill
What 'a pity that people will allow them
selves to , be made - the dupes of such fellows
as follow shows, especially the circus.
We come to the neat residence of Rev
3'. McCullough. He received us' with the
kindest' welcome. Mr. Mc. is pastor of the
chuiehes of Madiion and Muskingum. Our
stay with this good brother was short, but
exceedingly pleasant. There are a number
of families in this.cotnmunity, quite wealthy.
All the land as possessed by a few; but
they. are very kind and courteous. Ten
thousand acres very;,
such rich 'alluvial soil. as
this, make rather' a fine' farm 'and fortune.

fountains of misery, wickedness, and death;
and. as.walooked tipou the thousands upon
thotisatils 'of tnsheb3 of corn ready to be
turned into floods oft wee, and the immense
number of barrels ready for shipment; it
made me,sad at heart, and ashamed of the
wretched men who follow this nefarious
traffic, and labor tozrow fat on the woes of
humanity. And when I reflect that in this

• Butt another ,sabbath - comes, and we, go to
worship in the Muskingum church. The
day is fine, and a large congregation assem
ble. The people are orderly and attentive
during the service. There was more
quacity during interval in church, than it•
seemed to• us was consistent with the day;
the place, and good taste. But country
people are kind-rand social, and meeting
each other but seldom through the week,
they feel that they, must speak when they
meet on the. Sabbath. And bad atilt may
appear to some, yet, I am free to say, it is
less sinful in God's sight than that Stoic,
iron stiffness, that often characterizes the
wouild-be-thoughtienteel churchgoer in the
city.
A few days of pleasant visitation among
friends in this happy community being end
ed, we turn our footsteps homewards. The
distance was soon passed, in a carriage, to
Zanesville and in the cars home.

you, you can still see that you are not for

RICHES NOT HAPPINESS —The late Mr.
Girard, of Philadelphia, when surrounded by
immense wealth, and supposed to be taking
supreme delight in its accumulation, wrote
thus to a friend : "As to myself, I live like
a galleyslave, constantly occupied, and often
passing the night without sleeping. I am
wrapped in a labyrinth of affairs, and worn
out •with care. I do not value fortune.
The love of labor is my highest emotion.
When I rise in the morning my only effort
is to labor so hard during the day, that
when the night comes, I may be enabled to
sleep soundly."
HE HATII run long enough who hath
touched the prize; he hath sailed long
enough who is come safe into harbor; and
he hash lived long enough who is ready to
die.—fiaxter.

ESSAYS IN BIOGRAPHY AND. CRITICISM. :
BY PETER BAYNE, M. A.,
Author of the " Christian Life, Social and Individual."
' 12mo—Cloth—$1.29.
CONTENTS.
Thomas De Quincey and his Worhe—Tennpeon and his
Teachers—Mrs. Barrett Browning—Glimpses of Recent
British Art—Ruskin and his Critics—Hugh Miller--The
Maderm Novel (Dickens, Daiwa; Thackeray,)—EHis, Acton
and, Currer-Bell.
All these Essays but two or three are now for the first
time printed from the anthol'e manuscripts. They express
his matnrest thoughts in his most finished style.
Those who have read his brilliant biographies of Howard,
Budgett, John Foster. Chalmers, &e., in his "Christian
Lifo," need not be informed that In this particular depart-
ment of literature he has never been excelled, and has rare
ly been equalled. The fact of his appointment to succeed
the late Hugh Miller as Editor of the Edinburgh Witness,
inoicatee the high'estimate in which he is held by the Liter
ary and Religious community of his own country.

Mr. Bayne's Book is like Solomon's "word fitly spoken"
it is "apples of gold in pictures of silver."--Vonu ;
Stone, D. D.
It Is full of noble thought and brilliant illustration. The
sketches of Howard and Wilberforce, and Samuel Budgett,
are among the most charming specimens of condensed bin
grapby Iliave over met wlth.—[Hon. Robert O. Winthrop,
LLD. •
I have been. intensely interested in reading Mr. Itsyne's
"Christian 'Life," and predict for the work a wide and a
permanent circulation.—[Bishop Clarke, of R. I.
It triumphantly vindicates Christianity against the Pan
theism, and the scientific Atheism of this age. It is written
In a style as attractive as its contents are important —fEd
waid Beecher, D. D.
The hook as a whole is admirable; the biographical 'ketch
es_ worthy of a place beside those of Carlyle, Macaulay,
Mackintosh and Stephen.—Mon B. F. Thomas, LL.D.
These [biographical] chapters sit ibit the author as quite
a brilliant essayist. It is a book to stir the enthusiasm of
young readers eepecially.-IProf. F. D. Huntington, I).D.
These three [biographical] sketches, forming about one
third of the volume, we consider the finest things of the
kind that have appeared in the present century.—British
Danner.
• No sooner was it oat than it - took-rank in England among
the ablest defences of Christianity, and gained also a popu
lar reputation as a book of biography and of practical fife.
