YELLOW FEVER AT NEW Or

Our slips from New Orleans arc Of the
l9h, and we regret TO find that tn" pre-
vaiIing epidemic has not diminished in
violence. The Bee says:
"The fever, that nlI engrossing topic,
still continues TO pursue its frightul ca.
recr with an unmtigated severity. Almost
uncxampled in the history Of this epidem-
ic. Its virulence even appears To aug.
mont; the nunbor Of its victims still in
crrases, and medical men declare that it
il less under the control Of remedial a,
gents than at its first appearance. The
constant influx Of strangers too, by pre-
setting fresh prey 10 the prs,iIrnce, en-
hances its meIignily and gives il wide
field for destruction"
Our slips furnish no accurate accounts
Of the number Of deaths. On some days
they arc stated to be rs per day. aud on
others to have averaged so per day. The
Bee contains an ofii:inl statetient OF the
nu nher of in,crmcnts at one burying
place --lhc Cemetery Of Bayou St. John
from which it appears that the total
number buried there from the Is, to the
l7ih Sept. inclusive was 760.
Mr.. Geo. G.. Kring, assistant Pos'mas
ter, has fallen victim to the fever.
No less than 489 passengers arrived at
New Orleans on the 10Th, l7th, and 18th

Of Satan TO diminish our corruption and
malady, that he may diminish the glory of
Christ in our cure for it is obvious that the
less viruIent our disease is, the less is the
glory Of the Physician; but that if we are
dead in trespasses and sins, God has more
glory in our resurrection than if we were
but slightly sick, or wounded, or bound, as
some say. 1t is one of his wiles, also, TO
conceal from man his corruption, that he
may gaze with complacency on his own
righteousness, and be deprived Of Jesus
Christ's, and like the Jews 60 about to es-
tablish their own righteousness, instead of
submitting to the ri lghtcousness Of God.-
Those who come to Jesus are those who
labor, are weary, and heavy-laden with 4
sense Of their wretchedness and corruption.
Now, will those persons feel weary and
heavy-laden who think that the means of re.
lief are within their own power independent
of the grace of Jesus Christ? 1t would
seem that these persons are ashamed to
abasc themselves before God, and afraid
of humbling themselves too much, for fear
of exaI,ing TOO highly His grace, O! making
too great concessions respecting their mis-
cry, lest they should be too much obliged
10 His mercy.

LOVE OF CHRIST.

In order to form some faint conceptions
of the love OF Chrst, suppose, my Chris
tian friends, that all your tolls and suffer.
ings were ended, and you were safely
arrived in heaven, the rest which remains
for the people of God; suppose that you
were there crowned with glory, and honor,
and immortality, listening with unutterable
ecstacies to the songs of the redeemed,
contemplating the ineftable, unveiled glorles
of Jehovah, drinking full draughts from
those rivers of pleasure which flow forever
at his right hand and tasting those Joys
which the heart Of man hath not concelv.
ed.-
What would tempt you to revisit this
vale of tears, commence anew this WearI-
some and troublesome Journey Of life, and
encounter all the tolls, the temptations, the
sufferings, and sorrows which attend 1t!
Must it not be love stronger than death;
love, such as you cannot conceive OF, which
would induce you to do this? How infinite,
how inconccivable, then, must have been
that love which brought down the Son Of
God from the celestial world, TO redeem our
ruined race! which led him to exchange the
bosom of his Father ior veil Of flesh; the
alterations OF angels for the SCOTS and IN.
suits of sinners; and the enjoyment OF
eternal life for an accurscd painful, and
gnomnious death! Nothing but love could
have done this. Not all the powers OF
heaven, earth, and hell, combined, could
have dragged him from his celestial throne,
and wrested the scepIre OF the universe
from his hands.
No, it was love alone, divine, omnlpotent
love, which drew him down: 1t was IN the
hands of love that he was led willing cap
tive through all the tolls and sutferlngs OF a
laborlous life; and it was these bands which
bound him at the bar Of Pilot, which fet.
tered his arm of everlasting strength and
prevented his blasting his murderers.
Unless we could ascend into heaven,
and see the glory and happiness which our
Redeemer left; unless we could descend
into the grave, and learn the depths OF
wrc.chedness to which he sunk; unless we
could weigh, as in balance, all the trials,
tolls, and sufIerings Of his life, never, never
can we know the immeasurable extent OF
his love.
Bu: these things we cannot do. None
but the omniscient God knows what ne felt
or what he suffered; none but the omns.
cient God, therefore, knows the extent. OF
his love.
10 think of the love Of Christ, is like
trying to conceive Of existence which has
no beginning, and power which can make
something out of nothing. Tongue cannot
describe it, finite minds cannot conceive OF
it; angels faint under it; and those who
know most of it can only say, with lnsplra-
ton, that it passelh knowedge.-Payson.

The Centennial Anniversary OF the Birth

devotion to the interests of the cause OF rea.

furnished tangible evidence of their support
in the cause of injured merit. An Address
was delivered in the Hall in the afternoon,
to very numerous and highly respectable
audience, composed Of both sexes, by DR..
CHARLES KNowLToN of Ashvllle, (Mass.,)
of which, it is sufficient to say, 1t was an
eminent specimen of the superior mind that
oroudced it. 1t was delivered with energy
and effect, and was we'll received by those
present. After the Address, the assembly
dispersed and convened again in the even
inc, to the number of seventy-elght gentle.
men en- and twenty ladies, when an elegant
supper was served up by Mr.. OSBORN, the
enterprising and Philanthroplc keeper OF that
splendid establishment. After the cloth was
removed, the following Regular Sentiments
were delivered, attended with fine music:

Of man, but of God" John l {: -. From
this Scripture We learn that those who are
Torn in the sense that our Saviour used The

also that they who are thus constituted the

the new b.:l referred to by the Saviour Is
produced which is arrogating for natural
mowers and influence, that which is challen-
ecd in the word as the peculiar Office OF the
Spirit Of God.
The two Scripture doctrines, then,
Is. That man is morally bound to q per-
feet obedience ana conformity 10 the law
Of God, in all its ercccding broadness, Ps.

he is guilty of al, James ,: 10. and
od, That except man be born again he
cannot see tie kingdom of God,
These two doctrines, SO fundamental that
without them there can be no Christianity,
together with the kindred doctrine of native
and total dcpravitv, can never belong to-
nor consist with system that limits the mo-
raj obligation Of the sinner to PrecePts which
he has full ability to keep and fulfil.
These systems are utterly lrreconcllabe !;
they are an;ipodcs; they are as wide apart
as light and darkness, truth and error.
Hence it viii be found that ability men
touch with a partial and forbearlng hand
upon nattrc and total depravity; they gloss
over the agency of the Spirit in regenera.

dependence on Divine grace; instead OF

however, are Jealous for some things, and
those things concern actions, doings, enter

other things are overlooked; and most that
