Original Voetrg, Prosperity's and Adversity's Friends. Alas for out. friends 1 in prosperity's hour They hovered around us with bewitching power; To gather our gifts, and to climb by our aid, They lingered in sunshine, and were not afraid. But now, as adversity's clouds gather fast, They leave us, all stripped, to the cold, stinging blast; Prosperity's friends then alone do us know, We only know them when thus sunken in woe Prosperity's glare from our eye oft conceals A friend that adversity only reveals ; And though this may us from our 'false friends divide, It ever will bring our true friends to our side. Adversity's friends aro for every hour, Our need, is a chain which will bind them with power. That yearning of soul and that union of heart, The storms of adversity never can part; Their deeds of denial, devotion and love, Bo pure and so silent, an angel might move. Adversity's friends then indeed do us know, We never knew them till thus sunken In woe. E. W. H. God's Purposes. PROM INTERVIEWS WITH INSPIRED MEN, BY REV. LOYAL YOUNG. Theophilus.—We have come again, ven• arable in en, to obtain further instruction; Nicodemus.—l have difficulties on the subject of election, predestination, reproba tion, and the like, and wish to ask whether the precious inheritance of the Christian comes to him by accident, or by God's pre vious appointment? PAIIL.—We have obtained an inheritance, being . predestinated according to the pur pose of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will--Eph. i : 11. Herbert.—l am of the opinion that if any are chosen of God, it is after they are wor thy of being chosen. PAIIIA.—He bath chosen us in Him be fore the foundation of the world.—Eph. i: 4. Theophilas —Was it because God foresaw something good in us that he chose us ? or did he choose us that we should be holy ? PAUL.—That we should be holy.--Eph. i: 4. Theopliilus.—To what privilege has God predestinated us? PAUL.—Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to i : 5. Nicorlemus.—Was it on account of any good in the creature that this predestination took place; or was it entirely dependent on the wilt of God? Rum —According to the good pleasure of his will.—Eph. i : 5. .Nicodemus.—ls this decree of predesti nation absolute, and unchangeable ? PAyr4.---:God willing more abutichuktly.Ao siboiv. 'like the' heirs of promise the immuta bility of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath. vi : 17. theny if I am elected, I shall be saved, let me do as I may. Theophilus.—No, if I am elected, it is through sanctification and faith. Is it not ao ? - PAUL —God bath from the beginning chosen you to salvation, through sanctifica, tion of the Spirit, and belief of the truth. —2. l'bes. ii: 13, 8. Theophilics.—You see that election does not lead to sin and unbelief, bat to faith and holiness. . Herbert,—Well, I have another objection to the doctrine. It makes God partial, and therefore unrzAteous. PAUL,—Is there unrighteousress with God ? God forbid. For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So, then, it is, not of him that willeth, nor of him that ruoneth, but of God that showeth mercy. For the Scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that might show my power in thee, and that my, name might be declared thrOughout all 'the earth. Therefore haat he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.—Rom. ix : 14-18. Herbert—W by then does God blame the sinner, and find fault with him, since the sinner does not resist his will? PAUL—Thou wilt say then unto me, why cloth He yet find fault ? for who hath resisted His will.—Rom. is : 19. Herbert -Yes, that , is my objection. PAllL.—Nahbat, 0 man; who art thou that repliest against God ? Shall the tbiog formed say to him that formed it, why halt thou made me thus? Hath not tbe potter power over the clay, of the same. lump to make one vessel unto honor and another unto dishooor.—Rom. is : 20, 21. , Herbert.—flow . do you apply this figure Pam..—What if. God, willing to ehowhis wrath, and to make his power known, en ; dured with much long suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction; and that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he bad afore prepared unto glory, even us whom he hath called not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles.—ltom. ix : 22-24. Herbert—Whatever may be said of per bons being ordained to salvation, I cannot admit that any have been ordained to con demnation. Are there any such ? JUDE —There are certain men crept in unawares, who were befell), of old, ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into laeiviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ,—J ude iv. Herbert.--Then God must be the, author of sin, since he fore-ordains what comes to pass. Jeaiks.—Let man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of' God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempt eth he any man.—Jas. i : 13, 17. Herbert—God must be pleased then with the sinner's destruction, EZEKIEL.-A 8 I live, with the Lord God', I have no pleasure in the death of ;,the wicked, but that the wicked tura from his way and live,---Ezek. : 11. , ivic0de,,,,,,5,...48 predestination consistent With free agency ? or can an act be iiialte'd which Clod foreknew and decreed to permib? Theopioi/us,—l think ysiti will find. tllat though onr blessed Saviour was to be taken and crucified according to the counsel of God, this decree did not justify his crucifiers, who acted as though there was no decree. What did you say, Peter, to.those that cru cified Christ? - PETER —Him being delivered by the de teminate counsel and Foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain.—Acts ii : 23. Theophilas.—The prayer of the disciples shows that Herod, Pilate, Gentiles and Jews, in crucifying Christ, fulfilled God's counsel. Nicodemus.—What was said in that pray er ? Tin DISOIPLES.—Of a truth, against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hest anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together, for to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.—Acts iv : 27, 28. Theophilus.—Though Jesesmas delivered up "by the determinate counsel and fore knowledge of God," yet in his reply to Pilate he charges him wbo delivered him up, with sin. IVicoderwiss.—What did he say•to Pilate? Jotrw.—He that delivered rue unto then hath the greater sin.—Jno. xis: 11.

Address Of Dr. ; Rice, before the Cincinnati Conven tion, on the topic, "The means to be used , in, and the proper method of, conducting a Re vival ;" as reported by the Presbyterian of the West. He said, as to the agency br which alone, revivals are begun and carried on, we are all agreed. It is the Holy Spirit. And how to secure and retain this blessed influence, we know. God gives his Spirit in answer to prayer. By believing, earnest pleading with God, every true , revival is begun and oarried on. But • how to preach• at such times—how to present the truth in due pro portion—this is a great inquiry. The min . - ister needs to be familiar with his Bible, and with human nature. He ought to' preach much from his own "experience;'he ought to preach all the great doctrines, as well as the precepts and the promises of the Gospel. Doctrinafreaching need not, and should not, be dry.: It ought tote, and may be, mighty. The doctrines of the eroBB mill make men feel, if anything will. They never. grow old. They never lose their p•ower. I love to heal. a sinner say, " I can't feel." It shows that he is heginning to realize the doctrine of depravity, of the , hardness of the natural heart. God sanctifies men " through the„truth "—through his entire ,system, and the doctrines are the foundation of the ,pre cepts. Ministers, in revivals, are tempted to run into hOrtatory preaching, to neglect the truths that feed Christians, and to begin'to declaim to sinners. The result is, that Christians go to hear sinners addressed and to watch them'—their own, piety declines; and the revival languishes. ' Appeals' to Men's fears or sympathetic emotions, are well enough in their place and proportion, but depending mainly on them leads to false and ephemeral results. Keep up 'doctrinal preaching—feed the Churph and keep 'it praying. When you exhort, let it be after presenting some great truth. Aa to the frequency with which meet; rugs should be held during a revival, •the Dr. contended that time must be given, for home duties, and for secret me.ditation and prayer. Great efaitement of the animal feelings must be temporary, , and result in a sad reaction. The Church should be left, at the end of a revival, like a field in April— all moist and growing. .

THE FRENCH .M . ol4mint, or official paper, has been publishing addresses, from the army, in which England is characterized as .the den of assassins, and an invasion is pro posed,in order to; drag the would-be mur derers to light and justice. Itmay be said that 'these addresses must appear, amongi others, in the official paper. But the evil effect on the French population, which is now entirely deprived of a free press, is likely . to be very great, and to excite'an, en venomed feeling toward England. The .E.Taininer; "our ablest Weekly paper tales the Emperor to task for this, -and with seething power of sarcasm, dwells <imeek.: ingly 'on the liberty given to 'free speedh in' France I The freedom it; taken with. Eng land, and the license ,of: speeeli‘giVen'to the French army. It, is but a poor 'excuse to say---'as may be saidtliiit the. Eniperor wishes, by the publication of such rhodo montade, to display his own -moderation in contrast. Next, the case of' the =persecuted Prot estanta of Fiance, which the lifoititeurlried to ignore, because, forsooth, the said Prot estants had sought the advocacy of "for eign lOurnals," is, made still stronger in the eyes of all good men, through the publica tion (by that mischievous 'correspondent of the Times, who writes every daY from Paris,) of a Report addressed in 1856 to the French. Minister of public worship, detailing wrong in the Shapc of prohibitions and penmen tic* by, Prefeets, 'AA have:, never yet been 'redietased. The Effiperor, either from alarm or prn. Anion, has jrist issued a decree, appointing the Empress, Regent, in. case of his own de , Oise before hisson ceases to be 'a minor. Will „,that' son iyer, sit' on the thrnne of France;? Judging from the past of that turbulent country, and from the ties of.'. the future, the Rimier niust he, " No." To'maki,Paris knowits weakness, and to hold its ,Vopulation,:in ease Of insur rectien, in check, France is now ,divided into five' militaiy sections, each under a General of. Division; so in case of, any one breaking'out in revolt against theimperial dynasty,' the other four could send an Frier- Whelmingforee to suppress the insurrection.

Its appears that on the approach of the Gwalier force, Windham had sent repeated messages to Sir Colin, asking"instructions, but that h`nnever heard from the = Cowman derin-Chief. This the latter admits, and it arose from. the 'fact' that from obstructions on the way; no' letter or, message ever reacted him. Thus Windham was left to his own sresourees i ; the engaged what he found too-late was not the advanced guard of the great army of mutineers, and the re sult sWall'a retreat to the trenches,, followed by a bloody battle next day.
