office of deacon, and in this capacity he sought to
do his.whole duty,
_regardless of; his own personal
interests and convenience. The Boards of our
Church received his active arid liberal support,
and in ids sphere (and he,never tried to go ont'i,f

The deceased was the third child'of
liam Weston, Ruling Bider in . the. Presbyterian
church, Long Run. •Re was , a boy-of great
promise, possessing talents far superior to most
others 'of his age. Gentle and affable in manners,
and in his intercourse with society, he was firm
of 'purpose, neversaorificing the right to the ex
pedient. No one could 'have been more' ndeared
to a family than he was. One of his leading
characteristics was an entire unselfishness of dis
position, which'always led him to prefer the feel
ings, comforts,
.and conyonisoces of Ahers, to
his own. 'He was a,most affectionate and dittiful
child, and.a loving and lovely brother. Exceed
ingly fond of, books,

'being, at . the' time of his deMise,

light; and his oesire, to read, Ged'a.icirmir and
learn his will, his seal for,his worship; his ittten

,his conscientious discharge of every duty, .gave
the most satiefactory evidence that he was not

The' disease` Which, in the Mysterious providence
klod, hurried this estimable lady out or life,
, dysentery.. Her 'sufferings, which were
treef, she . endured with patience and resignation.
Of this event, we haye just grounds for the As
ittersinee that, " though many fall as sudden, few
as safe.' She was a consistent, exemplary
Christian. Brought early into the. covenant in
connexion with Long Hun Presbyterian church,
she adorned the doctrine of her Divine Master
'by an -amiable, quiet unobtrusive' piety. "But
;her work on'earth :was 'done, and Jesus has taken
ter itinsonied"Spirit to hiniself in'heaven;' and
!whilst her friends are weeping over their loss,
which is unspeakably great, sheds, , trust, re
joieing before the throne. This affliction has
fallen with peculiar weight/upon a bereaved bus
'timid, sister, and three motherless children, not
only because of the many virtues and excellences
of the deceased wife, sister, and mether,.but also
becanse of its suddenness, and the peculiar do
mestiti habits and attachmenti of the family. In
short, .as a. member of the Church, she was truly
, consistent; as a wife, words would fall to express
the estimation in whidit she was ,held by a be
reaved husband; as a sister, conciliatory, kind,
and attentive; as a mother, affectionate and

beget respect wherever she went: , None, old 'or

In early life, she united with the Presbyterian,
congregation at Mt. Pleasant, then under the
pastoral care of the Rev. Dr. James Power. Her
husband Was among its early elders. • For . more
than four-score years she attended the same
place . of worship. But during this time many
changes hid taken place. FoUr Church buildinga
had been erected. The little log-cabin had been
succeeded by a good log meeting house, it again by'
a comfortable brick church, and now it again,
has been superseded by a more substantial, 'neat,''
and tasteful church edifice. Of her, generation,
she was going down to the grave the last'and
alone. She had seen all her early edmpanions'
precede her. Of those that occupied - the honsn
of .God in her youth, none now remained. The
third and fourth generations have taken their
place. Many nastors.have come and gone. 'She'
seemed to have ant-Jived her time. , God, in his

I rode several miles one evening, ses
another elder, who, was confined to his room
by the infirmities of,old age. [ He has lost the,
sight of one (Wails eyes, ciad,become almost as
physically helpless aka child. He receive&
me' with - all the tender feelingkof a father
forfora son and asked ma .f to repeat - ,the,
synopsis of the, disceursc r that I had that
day, deliyered in •the , ehurch, from the ,text,
"Nherefore, he is able to save them to the
uttermost that • come mnt?
Go d by. hitn . ." - -
He said helvaa fully persuaded of . both the,
ability and Willingness of Christ ,to save
that unto him in the l appointed may,
yet,.as regarded himself, .he .said .he never
had had that`rapfurbus asstirapee, of acce'o.-
&nee with God of 'which he had often heard
others speak., Lashed.. him to, state his feel
ings fully on this subject. .Hesaill that for
years 'he had' been aCthe feeC'of Jesus;
saying, " Lord save or I perish," and there
he expected to die. . ,
In the morning ;I left him sorrowing that
I should doubtless see his face no more.
He was one of my first and best friends. ,
The congregations at'tire church `were
very large 'during all the; ;days of our ser,
vices—especially was .tbAs :true of the Sab
bath. And am sorry to say that some who
attended, seemed .to have come as a mere
matter .of amusement, for their deportment
was ,anything else than devotional. But,
strict decorum characterized the great mass
of all that assembled in and about the house
for all could not get in. And perhaps some ,
allowance is .due to such young, people as
really do not know how to behave on such'
oiroagions, :never having been taught it by
*ants, or school' teachers, or,ministers, or
.843y - bedy ; and. whose-highest- idea' of
•the• celebration of the Lord's Supper, is
each as the vain and ignorant in all commu
midis haire'd a camp•meeting, arr . Associa,:,
den or some other so•called
"big.meeting';"'
4or I do hold, and can prove, that such nom
inally religious meetings have often, if not
Aways, a very demoralizing and corrupting
influence, on the minds ,of many of the per
sea who `att§nd them. • .
On Monday. .an election for elders was
held. in this' church, and itialtcd in the
choice of four excellent Men': to fill Whir
highly ):esponsible "office: Of, axle, two
were men of . middle ,age,• and two were
comparatively young; one of whom was one
of , the,firstsseals to my ministry. 0, that
God would give me many such.
If these brethren. gee fit to accept the
fioe to which they' have been chosen (as I
trust they may,) then will this church be
blessed with.an eldership as efficient as any
other churehin cm,.Pc . eshltery. , It is ru
mored that:OW - of-the former elders has been
left e hy.theAleath of a'friend in Ireland, an
eetittri.:Of 'error two millions of dollars. It.
in to be hoped, Hi "gets it, he will use it
in the iiiOrroAiOn of, the glory of God and
the good of men. ,
This people gre'atly, need a new church
edifice:--dne of large dimensions, and more
in keeping with the spirit of the age, than
that in which they now worship. After the
election of elders on Monday, the incipient
steps to such an enterprise were taken, and
.deubtlesio before long, the' work , will be Un
der • anitract. I know of no brother that
hananoie reason to be encouraged than Rev:
`Fir: Be.e.d; pastor elect of this church.
A:NI-Monday evening I came down to Mo•
'Ooneella4ille, a town of sonic note on the
"the' taste bank of the _Muskingum river.
lien I. was 'detained until Thursday morn
ing:, awaiting a boat. to Zanesville. The un

by. nci:iniaini beset me on this occasion-; for

poured liy the blighting influences of secret'
asiociations44nd many, have loved, prat
tined, and boasted of • a charity that has , no,
real,. connexion with' the grace •of Christ.
And I pray God that. the. rising generation ..
may no longer follow the delusions of their.
fathers, but follow 'Jesus into the Chuich;',
where they will find worke.of obillty enough
to 'do, and objects Of idiaiity.enotigh to. 4mf,i
:without following empty:Migarles.
But Thursday morning; the: boat semen—,
on we get,, and off, we •go: for home., ~the
;boat was _ oomfoitablq.idthough• not quite
.equal in ,strength, siie, and magnificence,tos
the ev i er ; ilicrnorabla !Byr.ip ; and ,
'the Muskingum was:fiesutiful, although no
larger than a,millponfl‘rhen. compared with
the Mississippi. TheAtiy, too, was lovely,
so that our, trip up, in' - Zanesville' was truly'
pleasant. - r spent my time on deck, and
viewed, With mush interest, the narrow , road
that meandered along the Eastern shore of
the stream, _well remembering how that, ten
years agc,,l„ knew a young minister, just i
licensed, that rode sad and lonely down this
ahote,.on:a,borrowed horse, with a borrowed . !
saddleand saddle-bags = with a thread bare
coat and an old hat-?.-pitOhed boots and
soiled shirt—two sermons,, no books, and
one dollar in money in his pocket, and that
borrowed; and when I remember where
God was then leading him, , what work ke ,
was then preparing hiui to do, what he has ‘ I
since enabled him to see and to accomplish, I
did feel that no young man ought to be afraid
of the ministry, or of poverty, after this. .
Grace and energy are omnipotent. While
reflecting on this young minister's career, I
. thought of the place where he was born—of
the society in which be was brought up. I
found, that from a single school district of
that community, not leas than seven Pres- I,
byterian mioisters had gone forth to preach
.-the everlasting Gospel, within a compare
.tively short time ; and besides these, this
district could boast of five more , regular
graduates, all of whom will doubtless, before
,long, be the public! ambaisadors of Christ.
Then will twelve families 'in one small dis..-
,mot, have given to the Church twelve min
isters ! - All Calvinistic ministers, too, and'
yet, there never was a Sabbath School in
the' district, 'or a publie prayer-meeting
either, : fio far as I know; but there was
always family worship,' and strict family
'discipline in every family;" for there was
not so lar avny•memory serves me, either
non-proleionng,..w an 4rminian family, in
wholii,distriot.. The. Sabbath was strictly
Atept; 'and, the Shorter Otitechisna carefully
learned, by all.' Thia community was a kind
'Of little Scotland, where each - father was a
John Knox, aid - the dayeehool'a - kind of a

'success is possible. I was inforised that the
• Second church (brother
.Hoge's,). has re.
Oentliundergone a refitment, in the form of
frescoing and painting..
On Friday I got home, and learned that
three Sabbath Schools connected with my
field of labor, had had a celebration the day
before, and although the 'pastor was una
'iroidably absent, all passed-off: finely, there
.being.no lank of either the provision or ora-

administered with the most satis
factory results to various Animals
subject to Worms.
THE LIVER PILLS,
Far the cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS,
all BILiOIIS 'DERANGEMENTS, SICK
HEAD-,-ACILE, &C. cases of
FEVER AND AGUE,
preparat9ry to or alter taking Pui
nine, they almost invariably make
a speedy and permanent cure.
As specifics for the above men
tioned diseases, they are Unrivaled,
and never known to fail. when ad
ministered in accordance with the
directions.
Their unprecedented popularity
has induced the proprietors,
FLEMING BROTHERS,
PITTSBURGH, PA.
to dispose of their Drug business,
in which they have been success
fully engaged for the last Twenty
:Years, and they will now give their
undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de
termined that Dr. M'Lane's Cele
brated: Vermifuge and Liver Pills
shall continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the
great remedies of the day, they
will continue to spare neither time
nor expense in procUring the Best
and Purest material, and com
pound them in the most thorough
mariner. Address all orders to
FLEDLENG EROS. Pittsburgh, Pa.
