PULPIT ZEAL.

Extract from William Cowpcr the poet,
to his intimate friend, Rev. John Newton.
No man was ever scolded out of his sins.
The heart, corrupt as it is, and because it is
so, grows angry ifit be not treated with some
management and good manners, and scolds
again. A surly maslitf will bear perhaps
to be pokcd, though he will growl even un.
der the operation, but if you touch him
roughly, he will bite. There is no grace
that the spirit Of self can counterfeit with
more success than religious zeal. A man
thinks he is fighting for Christ, and he is
fgh,ing for his own notions. He thinks that
he is skifully searching the hearts of others,
when he is only gratifying The malgnity
of his own; and charitably supposes his
hearers destitute Of all grace that he may
shine the more in his own eyes by compar-
ison. When he has performed this notable
task, he wonders that they are not conver.
ted. lie has given it to them soundy
and if they do not tremble and confess that
God is in them of a truth, he gives them
up as reprobate, incorrigible, and lost for.
ever. But a man that loves me, if he sees
me in an error will pity me, and endeavour
calmly to convince me oft. and pursuade me
to forsake it. If he has great and good news
10 tell me, he will not do it angrily, and in
much heat and discomposure of spirit. 1t
is not therefore easy to conceive on what
ground a minister can justify conduct
which only proves that he does not under
stand his errand. The absurdi:y Oft would
certainly strike him if he were no: himself
deluded.
A people will always love minister, if
minister seems to love his people: there
fore you were beloved at Cnley.

PROPOSED BIBLE CONVENTION.
A Circular prepared by direction of the Charles.
Inn Bih{p ,S0ciptU.

i
ton Bible Society.
CHARLESTON, May 1887.
.Su:-The Managers of the Charleston Bible
Society," have appointed tho undersigned, a COM
mttee to prepare and send forth Circular, invi-
tirg the several Bible Societies in the State to
unite with them by their delegates, in Conven-
ton, to be held at Columbia, on Tuesday the 9th
December 1887
The objects to be secured by such Conven-
ton. are to ascertain what has been done In this
State for the last four or five years in giving
circulation to the Bible; what .acts may be COL
lected. which will throw light upon our yet re-
naming destitutions; whether 1t is eHpedlent, to
engage simultaneously in resuppying the State
with the Word of Lite upon plan SIMILAR to
that which was agreed upon in Columbia, several
wears ago; and If so, by what means and by what
agencies the plan can be most fully and thor
oughly, and jcdiciously carried into effect, so
that our entire reading population, have free ac-
cess to copies Of the Holy Scriptures i'll their
own possession. And finally to deliberate upon
any other subject connected with the diffusion
of the Bible whether at home or abroad, in
Christian or in heather lands.
The general fact is known, that districts of
country, which have been thoroughly supplied
one year have contained many destitute families
he next; and what is true of one district is true
of all the rest as the same causes operate to Gre
ate the want, viz: the formation of new families,
the immigration Of others, and the wearing out 1
the Bibles themselves In most cases where q
re.supply has been undertaken, after an interval
of four or five years, the destitution has been
found full half as great as at the period of the
original supply. and in some cases greater, tiom
the causes already assigned. We alludc to this
fact because it was one Of the principal motives
which induced the Managers of the Charleston
Bible Society to propose convention.
The Committee regard it as superfuous to urge
the subject upon your consideration by any fur
thcr remarks, as all the reasons for Convention,
which We could submit, must be familiar TO your
mind. All that we have so solicit, is, that YOU
would call the attention OF your society to the
proposition, that should they deem it expcdient,
delegates may be appointed 10 represent your So
ciety in the Convention.
We have the honor to subscribe ourselves, in
name, and by the appointment Of the Managers
of the Charleston Bible Society your fellow Ia
borers in the Bible cause.

with four splendid Cameleopards or Giraffes,
an Eland, White Rhinoceros, an Elephant,

were brought down slowly and with great

was 9 1-2 feet high. They are fed upon oat-
hay, bran, punkins, carrots, apples, peas, and

was lately held in New York, from the notice
of whose proceedings in the N. Y. Evening
Post, we copy the following:
"Alr. H. f. R. then presented series OF
resolutions, declaring, in substance, that the
banking system was at war with the interests
of society and the Constitution; that Ma
tonal Bank was not proper remedy for the
evils of paper money system; that the late
suspension act is ex-post facto, and lmpalrs
the oblirations of contracts; that the Cover
nor be requested to call the Legislature to-
gether; that State Convention be called, to
assemble at Utica next September; that a
nep Constitution be proposed. one OF the
clauses of which should be, that actual settlers
might occupy from eighty to t,co hundred acres
each of the public lands; that the banks ought
to assist poor persons in etecting settlement
on the public domain; that Congress ought to
pass a bill acuh those provisions; that the
meeting would sustain the President in en-
forcing the payment of specie, and IN his
pledged hostility to pfper money; that the
greatest evils of paper money are Its vast
fluctuations; that all connexion between Bank
and State ought to be dlssolved; and that
all candidates for public offices should be re-

principles. j.,

The four first periods Q792, 1901, lSOo,
and 1917 cover the whole duration OF the
first United States Bank. The charter OF
that institution expired in 1911; and there
were then SO State banks. The second United
States Bank chartered under Mr.. Madison,
in 1916. In the .fre years that interviewed,
between the expiration of the first bank and
the chartering ofthe second, the State banks
had Increased from 80 to 246, being l52.
From 1916, the date of the second United
States Bank, to 1880, when General Jackson
had commenced his attacks upon it-being a
period of fourteen years-the State banks IN
creased only from 246 to 326, being e3-an
average of sir year. From 1897 to the
present time-seren years-the State oailhS
have increased 494 Qrom 1929 to o23) beng
an annual average of more than serenty
Take another view. From the Revo:ltlon-
ary war to the year 1880. the number OF sac sac
banks created was 329, from 1880 to 1880,
the number created was 49l. In oIher
words, the policy of General Jackson and Mr.
Van Buren, has given to the country more
State Banks than existed IN the Whole prece-
dine period of our history; yes, more oy lo4.
We beg the reader to examine the forego-
ino official table, furnished by the Govern
ment leisurely, and to draw his own conclu-
sions. Let him notice the fact, that IN 1871
there wera but 800 banks, and that there are
now S23; and then let him wonder, if he can,
at the condition which the country is now In.

From the New York Gazette.

Mr.. McKain, young friend Of ours from
Mobile, on visit to this city, met some days
since negro servant in the streets, who had
been enticed from home by set of black
legs, and upon accosting him, found the SER
want sick of the few days of "freedom " and
equality" he had experienced among the peo-
pie of his own color here. He told his young
master, that the New York negroes were not
what they had been " "cracked up to be- and
expressed strong desire to 60 back to Mo-
bile. Mr.. McKain accordingly took him un.
der his protection, after Lewis, his man, had
gone voluntarily before the Recorder, and ac-
knowledged his masters ownership. The
philanthropists, however, found means to
spirit Lewis away, and it was not without
great difficulty that he was found agalp in
place where he was concealed against his oiA,
in Vandewater street.
Judge Oakley at the instance Of Mr.. Sedge.
wick, who appears to act as Attorney Gene
raj for the abotionists, and Chancellor in par
ticular for every runaway negro from the
South, issued habeas corpus upon which the
slave was brought before the court. Lewis
acknowledged that he belonged to Mr.. Nc
Kane, which with the abundant evidence OF
other witnesses, to the fact, appeared to be
pretty sufficient but Mr.. Sedgewic'' was Of
a different opinion. He rose and made Ger
tain motions as the Counsel for the negro but
vet Lewis himself told this very officious phi.
lanthropist, that ne was mistaken-that he
wanted none of his counsel-that he had seen
enough of New York negroes, and that he
(Mr. Counsellor Sedgewick,) had better mind
his own business. The learned and excellent
Counsellor, and his very virtuous clients, may
as well, therefore, look upon their disaster, as
a misfortune in business" and say no more
about it. Lewis, we can tell them, tor their
comfort and his own, is gong back to Mo-.
bile.
