norb - Gg to hinder or excuse them trona the
work. Who will respond ? It is desired
that those who seriously think of going,
should mak , _ their intentions known; while
the strictest seeresy will be maintained *hen

The reasons for this proposition are very.
Covinum. Ist: I f such a company is formed,
they, although separated, will strengthen and
stimulate each 'other. 2d. If such a body
oan enter the field of labor together, they
will be able, throuo Christ strengthening
them, to do more thin if they entered sep

the Church should know it so soon, that she
may sustain us.
It is nut here meant that anything should
be done independently of the entire control
of the Board of Foreign Missions. Nor is
it desired that any ono should turn aside
from :my other suitable foreign field, to enter
(Thine. Above all, lot no one who is ready
sooner, wait to join this band. Before those
who prayerfully consider this matter, are
laid the following remarks of Dr. Judson :
" In encouraging young men to mane out
as missionaries, do use the greatest caution.
One torong•heaclecl, conscientiously obstinate
man, would ruin, us. Humble, "quiet, per
;severing men; men of sound, sterling- tal-
ents, of decent hcaomplishments, nod some
natural aptitude to acquire a language; men
of an amiable, yielding temper, willing to
take the lowest place, to be least of all, and
servants of all; men who enjoy much closet
religion, who live near to God, and are will
ing to suffer all' things for Christ's sake,
without being proud of it—these are-the
men we need "

And the following remark of Gordon Hell:
" If the love of Christ, above all things
else, does not constrain us to engage in
the missionary work, surely, instead of find
ing happiness, 'of all persons, we Oran be the
most miserable,"

Worthy Conduct•
MR. EDITOR have read, from time
to time, in your paper, with .much interest,
accounts of acts of kindness to their pastors
on the part
. of congregations. Permit me
to add another to the list.
The pastor of the churches of White
Clay Creek, Head of Christiana, and New
ark, was,' last Spring, prostrated by a severe
and protracted sickness. For months he
was unable to perform his accustomed -la
hots. The people of his charge kindly and
cordially employed, at their own expense, a
brother to supply the pulpit, and as soon as
the pastor was able, urged him to travel,
and one of the congregations (W. C. C ,)
supplied him with the means to hear his -ex
penses lie has recently returned almost
entirely restored, and repumed his labors.
This is only one out of many similar acts
of kindness on the part of these congrega
tions, and to their credit and for- the en
couragement of others, we think it ought to
be recorded. B.

The Boards of our Church.
The Annual Reports of our Boards arc
now in circulation through the, churches.
Much important information do they contain
in relation to our Church's operations at
home, and in foreign lands. It were desi
rable that this information could be brought
before our entire membership, that they
might see in part, at least, the fruits of their
benefactions, and (not less important,) the
disposition of their contributions.
Our Board of Foreign Missions is a great
and noble institution for the spread of the
Gospel in Heathen and Papal countries.
It has expended - this past year in-this work,
iu various parts of the world, the sum of
$179,038 65. By a reference to the Report
will be seen the sources from which this sum
was raised. We simply remark that $110,•
526 80 were by donations from churches.
To curry on the operations of this Board,
requires the labors of three Secretaries, one
Treasurer, and a Clerk 'Phe entire salary
of these officers is $9,881.00, or a little less
than $2,000 each In view of the diversi
fied and arduous labor to be performed, and
the expense of living in large cities, the
compensation must he considered as moder.
ate, while it is not at all probable that the
duties of this responsible station could be
fully and thoroughly met by a less number
of laborers. The work is well and efficiently
done, and the benignant smiles of Zion's
King, have rested upon them to gladden their
hearts, and ours too, in the extension of his
kingdin.i. Taking the above expenditures,
in connexion with the printing operations of
the Board, end some miscellaneous expenses,
the total payments in this department of our
Chureh's enterprise are $196,020 67. The
grand results 91 this last year's labors, eter
nity alone can fully unfold.
But the Report, from which we have ta
ken the above figures, coutains much cheer
io..e' intelligence on the spread of the Gospel
inHeathen lands. War, it is true, in its
most revolting form, has swept over India,
and found for some of our devoted mission
aries there, a martyr's grave; but as it
swept by, as a dark, detstructive tornado, it
was controled by an unSeen hand, and was
made then, and will still 'be made, to sub•
serve the interests of the Redeemer's king.

Terrible Disaster at Sea.
The telegraph brings the sad news of the de
struction by fire, of the steamer Austria, at sea.
She left Southampton for. New York, on the 4th
inst., with about six hundred passengers on board,
besides a crew of one hundred persons, and had
acoomplished about one half her voyage at the
time she was burned. Dr. Schutze, of New York,
in a letter to the Herald, gates that a great num
ber of the passengers were American Germans
who had been on a Sommer visit to their old
home, and that no steamer , ever brought from
the continent of Europe so valuable a freight, con
sisting in great part of velvet and silk Winter dry
goods."
We give the following particulars, received by
telegraph from Halifax, on 27th nit:
The brig Lotus, arrived yesterday, with twelve
of the sixty-seven survivors of the destruction of
the steamer Austria, burned at sea on the 13th.
A passenger reports that a little after two o'clock
ou the afternoon of the 13th, a dense volume of
smoke burst from the after entrance to the steer
age. The speed was instantly slackened one-half,
at which speed she continued going until the mag
azine exploded, when the engineers, it is sup
posed, were instantly suffocated. The fire next
burnt through the tights'amiciships, traveling aft
with fearful rapidity.
A boat was let down on the port side, and was
instantly crushed, and another on the starboard
side was swamped, from the numbers rushing into
it. All the first cabin passengers were on the
poop, except a few gentlemen who must have been
smothered in the smoking room. Many of the
second cabin passengers were also on the poop, ,
but a number were shut up in the cabin by the
fire, some were pulled up through the ventilator,
but. the greater number perished in the flames.
A woman was drawn up who said that six were
then already suffocated. Several men and wo
men,
jumped into the sea by twos and threes.'
Some of the women were then already in flames;
others hesitated till driven over at the last mo-
ment by the advancing flames... In half an hour
not a soul was left on the poop deck. The French
bark, Captain. Ernest Renaud, came alongside,
and at five o'clock rescued forty passengers, who
were chiefly taken off the bowsprit, but' some
were struggling in the water. At eight o'clock
one of the boats came up ,with twenty-two per
sons, including the first and second officers, and
subsequently four men were picked up, floating
on a piece of broken boat. The second officer
was afterward rescued from the water ; both he
and the third officer were severely burnt. Many
of the male passengers were frightfully burnt.
Only six women were saved, three of whom wore
shockingly burnt. A Norwegian bark went along
side of the steamer the next morning and
sent out her boat. She may have picked up a
few persons. The bark Maurice had no communi
cation with her.
The bark Alaurice proceeded with the passen
gers on board of her to Fayed.
A passenger says that when the Captain of the
Austria heard of the fire he ruihed on deck ex
claiming: "We are all lost; let down the , boats.".
The boats lowered were immediately swamped,
and the Captain fell into the sea, and was left far
behind, The fire arose from culpable negligence,
while fumigating the eteerage with burning tar,
under the superintendence of the fourth officer.
From Nexieo.
Mexican advices, dated San Luis, September
sth, received at. New Orleans, represent that a
battle was soon expected to take place between
the forces of Vidaurri and Miramon. The latter
has about four thousand men, and the army, of the
North counts upon six thousand, which, united to
one thousand more under Coronoclo, from Chihua
hua, will force Mirainon to accept battle between
San Luis and the capital. Upon this battle de
pends the fate of Mexico It is hardly thought
that Minima will show sght. The Governor of
Zacatecas was in the coarse of a week to send
$50,000 for the army of Vidaurri, and with that
sum•it would commence its march.

This lovely Christian lady united, with the
Church in early • youth, and maintained a con
sistent and, exemplary profession till her death.
She let her light shine in her daily life ; she was
humble, gentle, kind, • affectionate, And hopeful ;-
she loved God's house; his service, and his peo
ple. Throughout her:severe and protracted ill
ness—her disease was , oonsnmption—she alwayi
expressed entire resignation to the Divine' 11,'
and full confidence in Christ as her Saifour;
was precious to her-above all things. Her:filth'
was strong, her hope was bright and'ihil• of .
sirance ; she said she was going home . iotietb;
her Lord, and often expressed the boil of 'meet;
ing her
. Christian friends in that heayenly home.
When asked, just before she expired, if Christ
was with her, she gave an emphatic assent,
though unable to 4eak. She has left a bereaved
husband, a little slaughter throe years old, a
mother, and sister, to mourn her loss. But they
praise God for the full confidence they have that
'she is now united with the Church of the first

Two reaeonsarilichistly account for the groat success of
this volume;
First. •The Character of the Work. It presents a new and
greatly improved system or notation. In it much that is.
abstruce'and difficult In this delightful orient* is so strapli,
tad, that mouths are made equal to years in the oommon
way of learning the practice of musical art; a fact suill
tinnily proven by the ettestatione of scores of 'teachers and
performers,who hate testpd the system, and given the work
its great popularity and constantly increasing sale.
Se and The Quality and Style of the Music. Many new
pieces, destined to please as long as music lasts. may ra
found en its pages. mod slab many of the old and tried
melodies!, hallowed from associated recollections of sanctu
ary delights, and ter more weloome to' the heart of the wor
shippPr;than many frequently substituted for them.
