upon Judge Dunlap offered the following:
The Presbyterian Congregation in Georgetown
have learned with deep sorrow, the resolution taken
by the Rev. John c. Smith to withdraw from his
pastoral charge over them, and to enter into the
service Of the American Tract Society. They do
not doubt that in this step, he can be more extern
sively useful in the Christian cause, and that he
acts from sense Of duty. We the people Of his
Church, cannot permit this relation to be dissolved
ton and respect we feel for him, the interest we
cherish for his future welfare and our obligations
for his services TO the Church and Public
Resolved therefore unanimously by the members
of the Congregation here in the Church assembled,
that we part with our late Pastor, the Rev. John c.

the Voice of prayer and praise ascends no, TO God
and here the ties OF human affection not

religious see,iag-of home, if the cares and sor-
rows Of life shall bring religion in the heart in
after days. that heart cannot turn toward, without
bitterness of feeling without anguish and veXaon
of spirit. If there be curse TO any country where
the truths of religion are known, the deepest and
bitterest curse which can be inflicted on it, is

Such homes send forth their unchecked in

taught in Love 10 God-the name and cross Of
Jesus Christ stamped perhaps on their oreheads but
not written in their heartS-and they send them
to prey upon the land, and TO become its curse and
its destruction. Bot on the other hand, there is
blessing in the religious home which no tongue
can speak no language can describe! The home

A TRUE sToRY.-'Trutl,' says Lord Byron, l.
often stranger than fiction This remark VIII be
found strictly in point in the following narrative: ,
There resides at present in the vicinity OF Bos-
ton venerable clergyman, whose character for
learning, piety, and active usefulness, has seldom
,if ever been surpassed.
When young, he was very poor, and entered
Harvard College with almost no means Of support
apart from the expected liberality OF the College
Faculty who have a considerable charity fund at
| their disposal.
He was supplied with all the sums from this re-
source, consistent with the ustice due to other
claimants, but still he remained in condition of
hopeless indulgence.
Matters soon arrived at such pass, that unless
he should be soon provided with set OF linen, he
could no longer remain in Collage, or obtain educa-
| ton
Reduced almost to despair, he one day took his
staff and walked from Cambridge to Boston, to see
II ne could procure situation in vessel or some
other aborious employment.
! When arrived near the ferry which at that time
occupied the place OF the present Cambridge bridge
he perceived that something had got fastened to
| the end OF his staff. E.<
| He made several attempts to knock it off as a
useless encumbrance, but found that it would OBJ
stinately adhere to the point Of the staff.
Suilosily dl leISlu lilpeleu MN 10 eNatHlne IL,
when he discovered that it was gold ring, set with
very brilliant diamonds.
! He carried it Immediately to jeweller, who was
a gentleman Of great integrity and benevolence.
On acquanting him with his situation, the Jewell
Ter paid him down handsome sum on the spot,
and requested the young man to call on him for as
sistance in future. ~
The linen was purchased, the shirts were made
up BY the young mans sisters, and his prospects
from that time grew brighter and brighter.
The ring which so singularly forced itself into
his hands, was probably dropped by British Off
Ger in the course of our Revolutionary War.-Rose
Book.
An old and esteemed friend writing to us. says :
g Do not forget the 30M Of .Apral It was the day
on which the noble machine the Constitution
received its first impulse, and has proceeded so
happily ever since. The 18th of March was to
have been the day for commencing the grand Ex-
pertinent but the roads were so bad and the Con-
script Fathers mostly travelled on horseback, in
those primative days Of the Republic, that quo
rum could not be had till the 3HM of.apriL 1899
when the first Inauguration Of President of the
United States took place in the old Federal Hall
New York-and an august ceremonial it was. On
that occasion, the first President dressed who'll
ly in American Manufactures. When the 3Oth of
April arrives will have seen FIFTY YEARS Of the
success of the great experiment of Self Govern
ment, Equal Rights and Equal Laws. "-.Aleran-

THE DEEP.

There's beauty in TIL drrp:-
The wave il bluer than the sky,
And, though the light shine bright on high,
More softly DO the sea-sems glow
That sparkle in the depths below;
The rainbow's tin;s are only made
VIXEN on the waters they are laid,
And sun and moon most sweetly shine
Upon the oceans level brine.
There's beauty in the deep.
There's beauty in the deep:
II is not in the sarf's rough roar.
Nor in the whispering shelly shore,
They are but earthly sounds that tel!
How little Of the sea nymphs' shell
That sends its loud, clear note abroad,
Or winds its seftness through the lced,
Echoes through the grove with coral gay,
And dies on spongy bank, away.
There's music III the deep.
