countenance, and his finely oduated voice was cloth

The fame of his oratorical powers and irrefutable
manner of reasoning, together with the well known

circle in which he chose to move, but liberal offers
were made him in various sections of the United

VALUE OF CHARACTER.

The following excellent sentiments copied from vol
une of Lectures addressed the Young Men of Hartford
and NewHayen by Joel Haws Pastor of the First Church
in Hartford
Good reputation differs essentially from great and
popular name. A man may be great without being
good, and popular, without having much merit of any
kind,-whom the world accustomed to call great,
have no better title to that distinctions than the fallen
sprits-great in talents and great in crime.
So to be popular is in itself no evidence of real
worth of character. The unprincipled demagogue is
popular with his party. The chieftan of pirat-

A SKETCH.

II was beautiful Sabbath morning, when the ship
in which was passenger from Liverpool to Phila-
depha was sailing under light breeze, off the Capes
OF the Delaware. The day was one every way cacu-
lated to create devotional feelings, and fill the heart
with reverence and love for that High and Holy One
who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his
hand,' and who stretcheth out the heavens as a cur
tain For more than three fourths of the passage we
had had very stormy weather, and several times
near suffering shipwreck One night in particular we
had given up all for lost. Our ship leaked, the storm
ragged the water gained the pumps, the thunder and
lightning terrific beyond description, the wind
whistled furously through the rigging, orders could
scarcely be heard, and expected every moment to
be swallowed by the ocean. But the God who rules
on high" and stilleh the noise of the seas heard
our petitions, and graciously preserved us and we
were in sight of native land, and we thought
of our homes which we expected soon to reach: of
sitting again by ire-sdes, and of once more
behoding the smiling faces of those who were dear to
and to whom were dear and all these things fill
led our souls with gladness almost to bursting Ac-
cording to the custom on board our Ship we had as
sembed for the purpose of worship, and if the homage
of grateful hearts may reach the skies, believe the
offerings of the little congregation at were not I'm
acceptable. The morning service of the Church was

messed many scene of distress, yet never beheld
more natural and unaffected grief than rugged tars
exhibited when this information was communicated to
them. Tears rickled from eyes unaccustomed to weep

might be supposed by spectator to be hard and un-
feeling, showed by the deepdrawn sigh that they were
far from being altogether callous They collected to-
gether and the little group formed scene worthy the
pencil of the painter. For awhile their feelings were
too big for utterance. They took each other BY the
hand, and all that was said was Oh Ben !''-. Oh
Charley !'-"O Tom ''-or some similar address,
and even these few words seemed only to open fresh
fountains of sadness, and to give the poor fellows
more painful sense Of their loss. When their first
oyerpowenng feelings of grief had subsidized and their
minds were restored to degree of camness they
began to recount the virtues of the deceased to relate
the good advice he had given them and to speak of the
love and tender concern which he had shown for sea-
men. Old Ben,' weather-beaten, sturdy sailor far

numerous passages applicable to the condition of those

observations them which the reverend man made on
presenting him with the book. Others of the sailors
