Honey N0OR.-Though this word is in
common use, its derivation is lille known
as nothing respecting it is found in the die
tionaries or encyclopedias. It's origin is
from the custom of the Tuetanes, an ancient
people of Germany, who drank mead, or
methegl,n, beverage made with honey,
for thiry days after every wedding.

The seventh annual meeting of the State Anti.
Slavery Society was holden in Boston on the 23d
ult. Francis Jackson, Esq. in the chair. Abou.
nine columns of the Liberator are occupied with
interesting details of the meeting, including an
abstract from the report of the Board Of Managers
Considerable time was taken up in the discussion
of a proposition to establish new anti-slavery
paper, d" to be under the control of the Board of
Managers of the State Society to advocate po-
litical as we'll as moral and religious action; to
be exclusively confined to the objects of the anti
slavery cause, and edited by man or men, who
can conscientiously, heartily and consistently ad
vocate all the anti-slavery measures, political as
we'll as moral action" This proposition was in
definitely postponed, or in other words, rejected,
by very large majority. The friends of the
project subsequently resolved however, to COM
mence new paper as an individual enterprise.
70 Since writing the above, the first number of
the new paper has come to hand. 1t is called the
" MASSACHUSETTS ABoLIr1oNIsr,' and published
under the direction of committee. Moto-"Li6-

The Fashionable Preacher,

The first specimen, then, of those preachers
who lack sympathy with the common mind, may
be the preacher who is smien with the love Of
fictitious and fashionable life. He sighs for ee-
giant society he is shocked with the coarseness
and clownishness of plain people, who were home
spun, and whose hands are hard with labor, and
their faces bronzed with exposure to the sun. To
be the pastor of a country parasitic be doomed to
perpetuate association with men and women who
are always at least year behind the fashion,
and who go neither to Washington in the winter
nor to Saratoga in the summer would be put
ting his light under bushel; he might as well
go to the heather, as to spend his time among
such Christianzed barbarians. He must be set
tied in city, where he can have genteel con-
gregaon, that shall appreciate his polish and re-
6nement. Can this man be the master of living
and persuasive eloquence? This man let me
rather say this compound of buckram and broad
cloth--can he preach effectively? No. Wher-
ever he may undertake to preach, there is no SYM
pathy between him and the people. His spmpa-
thes are not with man as God made him, but
with man as the tailor made him. He Judges of
people, not by their human minds and hearts, but
by their clothes and their cards. And therefore,
if he attains the very place of his poor ambition
and breaches from mahogany pulpit to city
congregation, his preaching will be good for moth
ing; for the human nature of the city is, after all,
the same with the human nature of the country,
and if touched to any salutary purpose, must be
touched by the same appeals and arguments. He
who does not respect the people, even in the rude
rough mass cannot be respected or trusted by the
people, anywhere. -Biblical Repository.

munity.

We invite the readers attention to the mpor-
tant letter of w. R. HAYES, Esq which we publish
in this number 1t is gratifying to notice that this
letter appears in many of the commercial papers
of New York, with honorable admissions of the
entire credibility of the writer, Mr. Hayes is per-
sonally known to many citizens of Vermont, he
having formerly resided in Bratteboro.' We well
recolect listening to an eloquent address delivered
by him several years since on the occasion of
state convention at this place.
Thetestimony of Mr.. Hayes furnishes fresh
confirmation of the remark of the editor of the ia
maica Waterman, Ia man of color,) that men work
better for Mr.. Cash than they did for Mr.. LASH
The West India experiment is practical DEM
onstration of the practcabilty safety and signal
advantages of immediate emancipation. 1t is the
legble handwriting of Divine Providence, attest
ing the great duty of all nations to "break every
yoke and let the oppressed go free" 1t presents
