For the Presbyterian partner and ddroesta.
Sister, thy Flower Blooms in Heaven.
Death came and oulled a fair young flower,
That grew beside another;
The two, the joy and solace of
A father and a mother.
Three Summers bad this flower bloomed,
To be a household cheer,
Till ohildhood's merry, wiusome ways,
Had made it doubly,dear.
The Autumn came, and with it brought
Berearement's saddening breath;
For now those little, pattering feet,
Lie motionless in death.
No longer will that lisping tongue
Tell how its child thoughts roved,
Nor more on parents' knees at night
Name those its young heart laved.
But hopeless sorrow comes not with
This stroke in kindness given ;
For God has plucked a flower of •earth,
And planted it in heaven.

The following paper on the subject of Slavery,
was unanimously adopted:
The Committee appointed to report upon the
subject of Slavery, in regard to its connexion
with our Church, respectfully Bak leave to present
the following report.
By Slavery we understand that system which
makes the legal status of human beings to be that
Of PROPERTY— of real estate, or of Mottles ; and
which authorizes other human beings to treat
them as such. That system by which, according
to the Roman Civil Law, " Slaves are held not as
persons; as dead in law, or without civil rights;
as brute beasts." That system by which, as the
laws of-Louisiana say, "Slaves shall be always re
puted and considered as real estate." By which,
as the laws of South Carolina declare, " Slaves
shall be deemed, sold, taken, reputed and ad
judged in law to be Mottles personal in the hands
of their owners and possessors, and their execu
tors, administrators, and assigns, to all intents,
constructions, and purposes whatsoever." That
system by which, according to the slave laws of
every elaveholding State in this Union, slaves are
ranked as property in the hands of their owners.
It is of this system of slavery of which we speak ;
not of abuses of that sytem ; not of some inei
dental' evils connected. It is of the system itself,
as above defined, that we speak. This is what
we understand by slavery. and this is the
system which the Presbyterian Church has con
demned, and against which a public and explicit
testimony has been borne from the beginning
until this time. In the year 1787, the Synod of
New York and Philadelphia, the highest judica
tory of the Church, expressed its high approval
of "the interest which many of the States have
taken in promoting the aboUtion of SLAVERY, and
calls upon its people, in their- several places, to
take measures for the education and liberation of
persons held in servitude, and . "to procure
eventually, the final abolition of SLAVERY In
America." The General Assembly of 1793, and
subsequent Assemblies, reaffirmed and repub
lished this action. The whole Church, in the
"unanimously adopted" action of its General
Assembly of 1818, denounces "the voluntary
assnavisia of one part of the human family by
another, as a gross violation of the most precious
and sacred rights of human nature; as utterly
inconsistent with the law of God; and as totally
irreconcilable with the spirit and principles of the
Gospel of Christ;" declares that Slavery creates
a paradox in the moral system; it exhibits
rational, accountable, and immortal beings, in
such ciroumstaneee as scarcely to leave them the
power of moral action ;" and after reciting many
of the evils of this bad and immoral system, affirms
that these evils are, " coneevences,• not imag
inary, but which connect themselves with its
very existence ;" that "the evils to which the
slave is always exposed, often take place in fact,
and in their worst degree and form; and even.
where all of Item do not take place, that "still
the slave is deprived of his natural rights. degraded
as a human being," and liable to suffer all the evils
of slavery. The whole Church, therefore, unt:-
imoutry declares that " it is manifestly the duty
of all Christians * * * to use their honest,
earnest, and unwearied endeavors, to correct
the errors of former times, and, as speedily
as possible, to efface this foul blot on our holy
religion, and to obtain the complete abolition
of SLAVERY throughout Christendom, and, if pond
bk, throughout the world." (See action of Synod
of New York and Philadelphia, 1787, and of
General Assemblies of 1793, 1796, 1816, 1818,
and 1846.)
This is the testimony of the Church upon the
subject of Slavery. To this testimony we adhere.
We believe, indeed, as we have always believed,
and as the ,Church holds, that there are many
oases in 'which men may stand "in the view of the
law," in the legal relation of slaveholdere, with
out immorality on 'their part. If, from causes
that they cannot control, the state of society, and
the welfare of the bondmen themselves, require
them to stand for a time, nominally, in the view
of the law, in this relation, then may they, and
So long as this necessity continues, sustain the
relation without wrong. Nominally, in the view
of the law, they may be accounted slavebolders,
though they do not claim to hold their bondmen
as property, us real estate, or as chattels personal,
to all intents, constructions, and purposes whatsoever.
We believe further, that even where members
of the judicatories of the Church do not come up
to what may bwregarded as the full measure of
their duty upon this subject, great prudence and
forbearance should be exercised ; as we feel that
we ourselves need patience and forbearance on
the part of others, in view of our manifold errors,
fillings, and shortcomings in duty.
But the-painful ooriviction is forced on us, that
there is on the part of numbers, in . different parts
of our Church, a total abandonment of the ,old
and well recognized principles and testimony of
though they define it to be, incorrectly in our
opinion, mere involuntary servitude. The new
doctrine, now openly avowed and propagated by
numbers, is, that slavery is not an evil, as the
testimony - of the Charch from the beginning em..
the Church upon the subject of slavery, and the
adoption of other and far different principles;
phatioally declares it to be—it is not an evil, but
a great good ; that it is not the duty of Chris•
tians, as the Church declares that it manifestly
is, to desire and seek the abolition of slavery ;
but that it would be absolutely wrong for them to
do so; that the system of slavery, which the
Church condemns, and denounces, and would
have abolished, is sanctioned by the law of na
ture, and by the Word of God, and is to be per
petnated.
- It is the office of the Church, as a spiritual
body, the light of the world, and the salt of the
earth, to bear testimony against sin, and against
moral evil, everywhere, always, and in all its re
lation and forms; and as God's witness, in a dark
and wicked world, to bear testimony to truth and
righteousness. '
It may not be our duty to go amidst the abodes
of Slavery, and prescribe the specific modes of
dealing with this great evil, a work for which we
may not be well fitted. But when the question is
about the Church's relinquishing ite long estab
lished doctrine upon the eabject of slavery ; 'and
accepting another and a diverse doctrine in its
stead, and thus becoming, in fact, committed ou
the side of error, wrong, and oppression, we
should not heaitate to lift up our voice in remon
strance against the new and corrupting dogmas,
and in favor of the old and pure doctrines whioh
we, with oar fathers, have•hithertoLheld.
We, therefore, recommend the ildetitlon of the
following resolutions :
arm/vete That the system of slavery, which' ob •
tains in various parts - tot* the world, 'and in tome
parts of our own laud, and by whielo one`pareof
the huinan family is corietftuted the property of
another part, we regard as an odious "and un•
righteous system, contrary to the Divine law, na
tural and revealed, offensive to God, disgraceful
to man,' and injurious to all the interests of hu
man society ; and that we hereby declare our
steadfast and earnest adherence to our own former
testimony, and to the well known and long estab
lished testimony of the Church upon this subject.
Resolved, That we deplore the sad defection of
any in our own communion from the old and set
tled ground of the, Church • and that we depre
cate the malign effect of any, departure from
the true and Scriptural doctrine of the Church
upon the subject.
Resolved, That we recommend to all our, peo
ple, in their respective places, to nee their
influence in maintaining the old and true position
of the Church ; end that, in partioular, we
recommend to the candidates for the ministry
under our care,' and other young people, thor
oughly to examine this subject. and ascertain the
truth in regard to it, and the principles by which
the opinions and course of conduct of themselves
and others should he regulated.
Resolved, That the Stated Clerk be directed to
request the publioation of this paper in the
Presbyterian Banner and Advocate, of Pittsburgh,
and in the Presbyter of Cincinnati.
Those churches which have not taken up col
leotions for the Endowment of the. Fourth Pro

Little Alice's Resolution.
Little Alice arose one bright May morning
just as the sun was peering through the
white curtains, of her little chamber, and
after offering a simple -morning ~ p raYer from
the depths of her happy heart, she easily
prepared herself for breakfast. • How beau
tiful the earth , looked, all -sparkling with
dewdrops, and how merrily the birds sang
in the tops of the apple trees I Alice's
heart grew happier still as she looked out
upon them, and listened to the sweet hyten,
ings. All was astir in the yard helow.
The speckled ben bustled:- about her -ten
chickens, anxious to pick them up a break
fast of stray worms and huge; _the big
Shanghai stood on a stone and poured forth
a blast from . his clarion, which might have
awakened an army. Alice laughed at his
pompous, ungainly figure, which seemed still
more uncouth by contrast with the stately
peacock, which just then swept down 'the
carriage walk. It was, indeed, a lovely
morning, and the little girl had• arisen just
in timer to.appreciate itateautiea. It always
makes us happier and better to sympathize
with the lovely and beautiful in nature.. It
brings us nearer to God; the source of all
true loveliness, and makes us , ' love more
dearly all the creatures he has,made.
"-1 Will see if 1 cannot' do good to some
one this day," said Alice. "I know I am
only a little girl, but I. feel sure I can do
something;"and with this good resolution
in her-heart, she descended to the dining
room, just as the bell rang< for family Wor
ship. I
When breakfast was ready,- the•bady wor
ried and cried, and- would not sit on the car
pet as usual, and amuse.himself. Mother
loeked weary, and it was plain her head
ached badly.
" Please let .me take Willie, mother?"
said Alice. "I "would .just as lief wait, and
I know he 'will be quiet with me."
"I should he very glad if you - could di
vert him, Alice; he is cutting - his teeth,
and has •worried all-night. Poor little fel-
low !"
Alice•borrowed Frank's marbles, and sat
down, with baby, on the carpet. The
bright 'hued balls pleased him, and he loved
to roll them about with his little fat hands.
His sister patiently gathered them-up, when
they rolled beyond his reach, and thus the
meal time passed. She did not •envy her
biother his warm breakfast; the thought of
belpilig her dear,'-kind mother. was a hun
dred times more eatisfaction. The:influence
of a good example is often contagious, and
after breakfast, • the usually •careless, whist
ling Frank, sat down and played with the
baby while Alice was eating.
She .did not•conclude now that she had
done enough for one day, but after baby
had drank his cup of new milk, she 'coaxed
him into his cradle, giving him one of her
gayest toys, and then sang a sweet' lulling
song, which presently soothed the weary,
restless little , one. into a. quiet refreshing
slumber. It more than , repaid her for all
her trouble to bear her trsether say, 4 , dear
Allie, you have helped me a great deal this
morning; and your little brother will feel
much better for a good sleep."
Just then grandpa entered, leaning on his
staff, and walking feebly, as he felt. more
than usually-unwell that morning. _Alice
sprang to his side, assisted.him, to cross the
room, where his easy chair was placed beside
his favorite window.
" I will bring you in your toast and, tea,
grandpa, as soon. as Margaret makes them,"
she said cheerily.
" Thank you, my child, but I do'not care
much for them ; my appetite is quite poor
to , day."
" Just try a little," she added, as she
passed out into the kitchen. She returned
presently with a nicely laid tray, and placing
it before him, she broke the egg into his
glass, and poured out a cup of fragrant tea,
chatting pleasantly all the while. The old
man's heart warmed as he listened to her
sunny, cheering words. The breakfast was
eaten with a relish he did not anticipate,
and his wasted fraine was refreshed and
gorated.
And thus she passed her day, going about
the house with a sunny face, which radiated
cheer, and doing g ood to every one. around
her. Not even the old: eat and the chickens
were left outside her efforts and sympathies.
When she went to'rest that nighf,.her :heart
was full of sunshine, and with a thankful
spirit she renewed her good - resolution' for
the coming day.
Who of my little - readers will form the
same, and then carry it out as faithfully as
did little Alice

Saving Seed' Corn.
Farmers who have not already attended to
this matter should not delay a day -longer
to think of ? it. The earliest ears should al.
Ways be selected for seed. The best farmers
all know this, yet it is believed, that a large
portion , of - them delay tillitarveitiiime i when
it is-notloosibluto'dititingnieh 'the earliest
wolf from such as ripen irivreelourftwo4ater.
VHF , PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOC: E.
It is poor business •to look -for the heat
ears in the corn-bin . after - harvesting, =as
many do, or even at the time of husking,
for it is well known that some large and •fair
ears, as they seem on husking, are several
days behind the first.' The only good mode
is to• go into- the field where-only the best
ears are glazed. As our seasons are not all
of them long enough•to ripen earn, it is im
portant to , gain a• single week by saying the
very earliest, and this no doubt we can do
by paying due attention.
Much complaint has been made within a
year or two from various quarters of the
failure of seed corn to vegetate. This arises
principally from want of care in preserving
the seed ears after the selection. If you
peek them down in a hogshead, and bead
them close to keep out the rats and mice,
you must expect to plant your fields a second
time, and that with seed kept in a different
manner.
Seed corn must be exposed for a long
time to free air—till ail the moisture in the
oob has evaporated. The best way to do
this is to string ears by the husks left on
them, and hang them up, ten or dozen in a
bunch. Keep them in this position till
they are wanted foi planting.
Those farmers who rely on seed that is
found in shocks, when the corn is out up
'green to keep it from the frost, must expect
to, plant more than once next Spring. Corn
shocked up 'early. without , much drying is
not fit for seed. Yet we doubt not that
many use it.—. Moss. Plowman. .
Ho* to Prepare Fodder
Every principle of economy, says the Far.
, mer and Gardener, points to the eAttitv of
fodder. To feed stooks uncut, is , simply
rwaste them, as well for food as for manure r
for in the first, place the cattle will nit eat
them as , readily,-and in the second place the
uncut stalks are a -decided nuisance in the
'manure heap, when the time tor carting the
,manure to the fields arrives. Every farmer
who has loaded mauure from a heap
which a large amount of corn stalks have
lbeen thrown from time to time during the
winter season, will understandthis point. It
is-exceedingly wasteful in another direction.
The thick pithy stalks absorb - a large quan
itity of the most, valuable liquid portions of
`themianure. When• the manure is- spread,
;ready for plowing under, we .know ha* dif
!floutt it is to bury long, tough pieces. F l ew
, plow-men deem them of sufficient import.
ance to stop the steam and throw them.
'where they will be oovered, and the cense
quence is, they are permitted to,lie upon the
;surface, and the valuable liquid manure,
which thay absorbed so largely, is lost by the
exposure to the sun and wind. When out,
:(even if the animals will not eat them,) the
ismaller size of the pieces not only affords a
larger-amount of surface for decomposition,
ibut,,.are mot in the , way, when loading ma
:nure from .the .heap; neither are they so
likely to remain.unburied as is the case with
the 'larger ones. These smaller pieces also
perform another important service. Admit
ting that their mi.nurial value is - but trifling,
;the ; mechanical change they effect (in stiff
soils particularly,) is important. As the
corn stalk does not readily decompose, they
serve to render the soil to, which they are
applied more porous, and, 'consequently,
, more- permeable to the atmosphere, an .end
which every good farmer should strive to
secure.

Progress—The Salt Trade.
" Old Merchant" publishes, in the Pitts
burgh Daily Journal, the following,:
Having lived in Pittsburgh - since 1801,
we have. seen some wonderful ,ohanges in
the prices of this. very needful article;
which, like flour, is so much—needed by all
classes—the farmer; the merchant, the me
chanic, and all classes-and branches of the
human family. 'salt, in ourearly days, was
brought over the mountains on horseback or
in wagons, when we had to pay six to eight
cents a pound,- cailiage, from Philadelphia,
or towns in the Eastern part of our State;
or it was brought down the Allegheny river
from the State of New York, and sold here
at from $l2 to $l5, and at times $l3 to $2O
per bbl., and retailed from s4®ss to $6 per
bushel. -The writer went into a store to
learn Abe mercantile business in 1807—when
we bad• but twelve or fifteen good stores in
our town, 'and they were all on Market
Street—and kept -a middling large supply
of almost all kinds of goods, dry goods, -
hardware, &c., and the most bf them kept
salt to sell by the barrel or retail. .After, we
had been in the store• one or two years—and
we, had our store on the corner of the Dia
mond • and. Market Street, very near the
Market House—one day our head man said
to us : " I—l wish to go to Philadelphia in
a few days to buy a fresh supply -of Fall
goods, and money is scarce ;yon must go on
board of a flat boat to Wheeling, in Viz.•
ginia, and sell about forty barrels of lake
salt for cash : come home soon, and then I
will go to Philadelphia." Quite glad of
this plan of spending a few days on the
Ohio liver, seeing the small towns on the
banks 'of the river, and the country, and
farms, 434c 7 , we got a captain of a large fiat
boat engaged to take us , and oar salt,: and
we went;doWn to Wheeling, where salt was
scarce and high, and very much wanted.
We soon sold it; got upwards of $5OO in
money, which we Tolled up carefully and
pat in our pocket, and came home on foot
through Wellsburg and West Middletown,
Washington County, and handed over the
money to our boss, who was very 'much
gratified with our doings, and soon went
over on :horseback to Philadelphia and got
his goods. Now we see the changes. That
salt is made in our neighborhood, or -in our
city, and sold at - from $ll2l to- $1.25 . per
bbl., and by retail about fifty cents a bushel.
This is a wonderful change in the price of
this'irery - Useful : article an the life tune of
many of .our citizens.
A Bight of Oliver Cromwell's Read.
The great Crontwell's head, two hundred
years after his death, unquestionably exists
near London, in• a good, state of preserva
tion, and in the custody of a lady. Rumors
of the existence of the head were in circu
lation in London half a century since, and
periodicals now in the British Museum sus:.
gested such a fact. Various=correspondents
alluded to , its concealment, and as having
been seen privately; but it is only recently
that an American gentleman was permitted
to see the relic and handle it in person.
Cromwell's body
. was embalmed and buried
with great pomp in Westminster Abbey.
After the restoration of the Stuarts, the
body. .was disinterred, the head out off, and
a pike-staff thrust through the neck. It
was then placed on Westminster Hall. It
remained there a considerable number of
years, until either blown' down by the wind
or carried off by stealth. It was secreted
for along series of years, and handed down
from generation to generation, among , the
descendants of Cromwell, until it.' now
rests in' the custody *lf the accomplished
daughter of W. &
BarliameWilkinson, Esq., an ex
member of ,nt, residing at Beeken.
ham, Kent, near London.
A correspondent of the New York Ob
server describes how he. in company with
Rev. Mr. Verret, of Bromley England,
managed to see this 'head, the identity of
which as being that.of Cromwell, is substan
tiated by Mr. Wilkinson, the.ex-member of
Pitliament. Their cards : were .sent in, and
very,,,soon: a lady of rnatnre yearsourd of
handsome person,-entered the room with an
air. that indioated.Osition and the manners
"of the true lady. .Aniittoduotiottfollowed,

ktfown„ it was cheerfully granted, especially
when it was stated that the Stranger was an
American. Very soon a wooden box was
brought into the room and opened, with
'dark brass hinges. Two or three coverings
of cloth and silk were successively removed,
and then Was lifted out'the veritable Lead of
Oliver Cromwell!
The head haying been jembalmed, retains
the flesh in .a shrivelled, dry state, but the
features are distinct, and the hair' alinost as
perfect as at its burial. The huge wart over
one of the eyes, so historically true, is clear
ly distinct, and the resemblance to a bust,
copied from real life, which is near by, car
ries conviction of the identify of the head
beyond A misgiving. The iron pike which
was thrust; through the throat and came out
at the top of the bead, is rusted in. Its
age and exposure have consumed tbe'upper
part, and only a couple of inches of the iron
rempin above the head. The wooden part
of the - pike'was broken off just below the
throat, and-the fracture shows that it- was
severed:by violence, and not cut asunder by
an instrument.
Altogether, this singular memorial of an

MEDICAL.
yin. R.. A. WILSON'S PILLS.
Having retired from the practice of medicine, I may be
permitted to say that it has fallen to the lot of bat few
persons to have enjoyed so liberal or large a share of
obstetrical practice as my own haS been fbr the last thirty
or forty years. -
The experience of that long period of active life, and the
fact of my having been twice, since 1830, associated with
Dr. R. A. Wilson, in the practice -of medicine, (in both a
period of five years,) enables me to judge fully of the merits
of his pills.'
So convenient, so (Indent, and yet, so safe, did I esteem
these pills, that for the last five years in practice, for the
core of chronic diseases of whatever name. and those of
females in particular, I have used more of them than ell
other medicines. Like every other medicine, these must
fail in some instances, but in my hands there bee been' lees
disappointment and more satisfaction in theadministration
of •this one remedy than of all others—its good effects
sometinies quite astonishing me.
If My Patient required a safe aperient medicine, either
before or after parturition, the Wilson's Pills were ast the
thing I wanted.
If a dyspeptic acid condition of the stomach, combined
with costiveness, or inactivity of the liver, constituted the
disease of my . patient, the villa were just the thing I
wanted.
• an emmenagogue, the Wil.
uitfn
If I treated a case , reqi.,zing
son's Pills were just the thing I wanted.
If palpitation, headache, flushed countenance, or other
difficulties indicating a disturbance of the circulatory sli d
secretory systems. annoyed my patient at the turn of life,
the Wilson's Pills were just the thing I wanted.
Thus, without respect to the name a disease mighthappen
to wear at the time I have had it under treatment, particu
lar indications or comptems arising were always most
promptly and most happily met by the Wilson's Pills.
That so great a number of diseases, and sometimes
apparently opposite ones, in which I have need those pill s ,
should be cured more readily by them than by any other
remedy, may at first seem strange and contradictory, but
why it Isis°, is as clear to my mind ea that a great many
persons should become thirsty from as many different
canoes, and yet all require that common and greatest of all
blessings, water, to quench their thirst.
Is conclusion, it is due the repntstinn of medicine and
the, public to say, decidedly and unconditionally, that the
Wilson's Pills. are .the only combination I have ever met
with in my long course of ,practice that really possess any
thing citrativeer specific for sick-headache.
