FUND SPUN DSg
WEYBRlDGE, Jan. Is, 1889.

Brother Murray will you permit me,
through your paper, to remind the Churches
of this State, of resolution passed atthe
last Anniversary Of the Baptist Convention,
and found on the seventh page Of the min
utes OF the convention? The resolution
referred to made it the duty of the Church
es to replenish our treasury by the first of
January 1t may be that have been unob-
serving, but have noticed no receipt Of the
treasurer, in the Telegraph, which has been
usual heretofore. am therefore led tocon-
elude that little or no notice has been taken
of the resolution. Now it is of no conse-
quence to pass resolutions in our Associa-
lions and Conventions, if those resolutions
are to lie unread, uncohsidered, ard unre-
ferred, like the petitions on the table Of Con-
gress. Let me ask ministers and deacons
to read, consider, and refer TO the churches !;
then let accompanying remarks follow, and
speedy action succeed. The benefit Of such
course will be incalculable suffice it to
say, it would supercede the necessity Of
! travelling agents. A word to the wise is
sufficient. ..-
Permit me, in this connection, to request
Brotherl J. Baldwin to furnish me thro'
the Telegraph a brief yet definite statement
of the state Of the Canada mission-the
number Of churches, with their ability or in.
ability to support the Gospel is wanted
! My reason for this request, is, there are
some in this place that think The Churches
in Canada are able to support the Gospe
without help, and consequently are unwiIl
ing to contribute for that purpose. Others
however, are of a different opinion, and WE
forward to the Treasurer our mite Of five
dollars and twenty-five cents. Union i:
strength and we want to be agreed.
therefore hope the information will not b.
4 withheld. J.K. WRIGHT
The foregoing suggestions timely-I sa
timely because it is high time to have the suhjee
attended to. 1t ought to have received general al
tention before now. The first of January was tt
time specified in the resolution, to have had ii
work done. The resolution reads as follows:
"Resoired, That vigorous effort be made b.
tween this and the first of January next, to replel
ish our treasury, that the Board may be enabled
pay off their debts and carry forward their impo
d tant operations"
e The church in Weybidge and New-Haven h
l. set an example that should be simultaneously f.
S lowed. -.r.
i would join brother Wright in his request
:. brother Baldwin for information in regard to d
II Canada churches. 20. s---.. st..

/ lies we have never doubted Woulu ye'
ruin both him and the Bank; and no
thing but fortuitous circumstance OF an
unusually short crop last year has ena-
blcd him to keep ahoat as long as nc
has. Last fall he purchased severai
millions OF the Bonds of our MisslsiPpl
Banks bearing aninterest OF seven per
cent. and five millions Of Union Bank
Bonds. 1t is true he bought both PREF
ty cheap having paid consldera1le
portion in Mississippi paper when rs
had purchased at twenty-eight per
cent. discount. But still he made Q
bad bargain, as the Union Bank Bonds
have already deprecated six per cent,
and must 60 down to eighty five, Wn,le
the Bonds of our Banks never Will DC

we doubt whether he will be able 10
collect one fourth of the interest next
year on Mississippi Bank Bonds.
How are these speculations OF pa
die and the u. States Bank OF Penn-
syIyania to be sustained? Bevan ~
| Humphreys of Philadelphia propose 10
advance eleven and half cents on
cotton and request the Southern Banks !,
to aid them in the same cause. wen
what must be the consequence? In the
first place all Banks that would engage
| in so infamous speculation must again
suspend specie payments or issue lrrc-
deemable paper in the shape OF post
notes; and thus bring an indirect tax
on the whole labor ofthc country, just
to enable Biddle and the United States
1 Bank of Pennsylvania to get trough
with their cotton and stock specula
tons.
!. The southern Banks dare not take
the advice of these northern spccula-
tors if they were even so disposed; but
their own interest and the permanent
interests Of the south admonish them
/ By doing SO they will give ascenden'cy
, and impulse to direct southern trade.

Passing a cloud, | put out my hand

The sun went north about, but never

We came near a hail bank, and hi

A thousand miles above the EARTH
we passed thro' field of turkey-buz'

THE GREAT CorroN ClRcULAR.--We
predicted on the 10Th Of April last, af-
ter Mr.. Biddle resigned his position at
the head of the United States Bank o.
Pennsylvania, that he foresaw the com
inc storm which his cotton and stock
monopoly must, inevitably produce.
The pripatc circular extensively circu-
lated at the north and the proposal q
Bevan & Humphreys Of Philadelphia
TO advance ia cents on cotton to be
shipped to Humphr .ys and Biddle and
70 be c held up, already proves the truth
of our predictions. They call on the
Southern Banks to make advances &c
enable the shippers to leave the ootto .,
n the hands Of Humphrey d Biddl'
until this House is enabled to sell tn
immense amount il has on hand, thel
no doubt the interests OF the shipper
would be matter Of little Importance

Never while have soul to think

For whom that heart so fondiy beat.
Would that it were not SO. Would
That thy cold neglect; thy doubt Of purify
And sincerity of feeling, could have
The effect they are intended to produce'
But all! vain wish!vain too; to hope
That even one kind or friendly feeling
Lives for me within that breast
Where thou so oft hast said lived nought
But love and kindness for thy friends.
In that, thou sayest I'm not friend;

THE WIDOW.


AS SUNG by MADAM vEsTRIs.
In her bow'r widow dwelt,
At her feet three lovers knelt;
Each ador'd the widow much.
Each essay'd her heart to touch;
Ono had wit and one had gold,
One was cast in bcauty's mould
Guess which was it won the prize?
Tongue or purse, or handsome eyes!
First began the handsome man,
Pecping proudly DER her FAM
Red his lips, and white his skin,
Could such beauty fail TO win!
Then stepped forth the man Of gold,
Cash he counted, coin he told;
Wealth the burthen of the tale,
Could such golden projects failY
Then the man OF VII anu senses
Wood her with his eloquence;
Now she heard him with a sigh,
Then She blush'd scarce knowing Why
Then she smiled to hear him speak,
Then tear was on her check;
Beauty vanish, gold depart!
Wit hath won the widows heart!

'Hail Columbia! happy land
Hail We heroes! heaven-b born band.
Who fought and bled in Freedoms cause,
And when the storm of war was gone,
Enjoyed the peace your valor won.
Let Independence be our boast,
Ever mindful what it cost;
Ever grateful for the prize.
Let its altar reach the skies"
This day then, sixty three years ago,
was the birth day of Freedom; and

Re, engei is debt, in the paying Of
which, the greatest knavc is honest and
sincere, and, so far as he is able, pune
tual. But there is a difference between
a debt of revenge, and every other
debt. BY paying our other debts, we
are equal with all mankind; but in re-
fusing to pay a debt Of revenge, we
are superior. Yet, it must be confes-
sed, that it is much less difficult to for
give our enemies, than our friends, and
we ask how it came to pass that Car
iolanus found it SO hard a task TO par
don Rome, the answer is, that he was
himself Roman.-Colton.

we cannot conceive human being
more blessed, or a character more tru-
ly digni6ed. Such figure stands like
an ancient patriarch commanding love
and veneration. Allhis conduct is up
right; all his aims are directed to the
purpose ofhumanity- If we compare
him with statesmen, how much hap
pier is he than the first minister of the
-monaroh While minister OF
state Aeeccs whole people, our far
mer is employed in shearing his flock,
from which he exacts nothing but SUI
pernuity and incumbrance. The first
operation produces murmurs and dis
content; the actis attended with mirth,
happiness, and festiyity. The farmer
uses no corruption but manure; he
matches not intrigues, but poultry; be
matches not intrigues, but poultry; he
brcws not mischief, but beer; he fears
no blasts Of envy; tho he breads the
blasts of heaven; and instead of forti-
flying castles he fences his fields, be-
cause he has no enemies but vermin to
contend with, and he dies-not in the
tower or on the scaflold but towering
above the potentates of earth--land'
in safety in the presence ola Monarch
whose smile is appreciation, and whose
love is boundless as creation.
