It was night when we arrived there. We stopped but a moment; long enough, however, for some of us to telegraph home. It is said to be a city of thirty thonsand inhabitants, is lighted with gas, and we know it made& fine appearance as we approached it. As this is the only port of any note between St. Louis and Vicksburg, all the passengers went aloft to see • the town, and, we all admired it much.

In -Ten nessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi nature stands, and will I think long continue to stand, in' all' her primeval grandeur and glory. here and there , the bold Yankee has, dared to erect a hut and . cleara field, or build ,a town, old Neptune , as,spread out his. arms and swept all. to desolation, saying, " I am the 'king of waters; there- fore, the'green islendri' and leafy shores of my dominbps, ell'inenelipll respect."

We "rounded to" at one of these ,places, in the State ; of . Mississippk We wanted wood, and :.we got it too. It wn".brought in flat boats through the, woods, from : the back country. As our , mighty beat turned' her ,hroadside to :shore and proudly drifted landward, she rolled the waves before her, and theY lashed aiainet the little porch and door sill of one of these dismal homes. A negro woman sat on the porch, and a white one stood in . the door, and both were apparently as uncon cerned 88 any one would be at the undula tions of ripening grain before the gentle breathings of a Summer's morning. And when our boat banked out, the white woemu waved and kissed her hand, and the darkey bowed a friendvaidieu to us'alf.'

A Death-Bed• 14quntU,uioe. the Autumn of, 184-, was called to visit, as was.supposedi the death bed of -a young man noted for hie, immorality, who th fit of intoxication had bebn thrown lioni his wagon and • ieriously. injured. Standing on the ,brink of the grave, his life appeared to him as ,never be fore, while the future filled him with dread-. ful apprehension. He sent for the Minis._ ter, and soon it was said of ,the "Behold, he prayetht" .. yjsitcd him, and to all, confessions of. penitence and exhortations to repent: were made... Bitterly, lie woui tied h .is niisspent life:aud deeply he, .re retied his inability to do aught for,, that ,Saviour whose love he had so long abnsed: To , the surprise of all, the young man, of lingering many weeks, began to recover; and aad to say, as health returned, former propensities resumed their control; , long in dulged • habits loudly for their gratifi cation, and it was soon evident that no 'work of grace had really taken place in his heart. Death appearing again at a distance, began to lose its terror; and !gilds convictions had arisen from fear, so when the cause was re moved they died away. Regardless of shame, no lengths of sin were too'great for him; he proved himself tenitimes more the child of . ;Satan thin before; and riciw , lives a profane scoffer at godliness, and a willing' corrupter of others. Would that those who are postponing con version to some future period, might be per suaded not to put off the needful work till the last; lest their repentance be a false gift and self .delusion, or lest, after trifling with the !Spirit of God, they be left to fill up the measure of their sin, to be hardened in their iniquity, and thus to " eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own deyiowB.7 . -_--r.4l.mer.
