will account for the fact that it was ac on-
panied with no answer or remarks.
Whether communications offered the
Telegraph get ''rctoed' not, will de-
pend altogether on the character of the
matter communicated and Of the manner
Of communication
10 occupy station where one can nei-
Their stand still, move forward or backward,
to the right or to the left, without offending
those whom he esteems and loves, is, in
dependent Of associated considerations, to
occupy most vmemUja5le station. Such
IS sometimes the situation of every news
paper editor. How wretched, then, must
he be, thus situated, who has no higher
aim than to promote his own selfish ends
by Iaboring to please men We would
not undertake to stand on his post for the
wealth Of the Indies, and all the glory and
uONOT lndl men can confer.
mp and "Daleth" are brethren whom
we very much love and respect We hope
they may continue to be the correspond
ents of the Telegraph during our connex-
ION with it, be that longer or shorter and,
although we are liable to errors of judg-
m2nt, we trust and pray that nothing may
lie done on our part, in the disposal of their
communications, but with the strictest re-
gard to duty-duty to the writers, to DEATH
less souls, to Zion and to God
The columns of the Telegraph are open
for reply, of reasonable length to Da-
leth's "Review.' The reply may be in
the shape of an article prepared with spe-
cial reference to the Review, or it may be
the rewritten article which NJ. informs us
is about to be published. If the second
edition is to appear, we see no need Of a
republication of the first
DEATH OF bella JACOBs-PaStor OF
the Baptist Church in East Cambridge,
Mass, and late Corresponding Secretary
Of the Western Educational Board He
rode to meeting in a chaise, with his wife,
Lord s-day, May 22. On arriving at the
door Of the Westinghouse, he dropped the
lines and was about to aIight from the
carriage, when his horse took fright at
the ringing OF the bell, sprang forward
with violence, threw Mr. Jacobs against
the corner of building and so shocking
ly fractured his skull that he died in about
an hour after His wife was thrown from
the carriage and severely injured, but re-
port says she is like! y to recover.
Why such men are cut down in the
midst Of usefulness, while thousands who
are the hanc ofsociety are left to disgrace
human nature, scourge the world and de,
stroy souls, is one ofthe secret things tina
belong to Him whose ways IRE above hu
man comprehension-who is too wise tc
err and too good to do wrong. 1t is no
for US TO ask why or what He has done
but to make the best use Of all his deal
ings with the children of men, fflictivc
as well as mcrciful.
TITLEs.-The display Of "Rer.' pre-
fixed and of ID. D." affixed to the name!
of the followers of Him who taught humil
itv in all his character and conduct-a
appears in certain copied articles to day
is altogether as ludicrous as it is wicked
At first thought our pen darted acros
these disgusting features ofthe article an
blotted them from sight, but on a moment
reflection we directed the type-man to Sc
r forth the vain, silly spectacle, length an
; breadth, to the gaze Of our readers VIVA
say you brethren? Are you deIighte
with such man-worShip? Do you crav
! it for yourselves?
