MISCELLANEOUS.
FROM BECKMINSTER'S SERMONS
CHRISTIAN CONSISTENCY.

The character of every Christian must be
consistent a uniform one. THE heavenly
spirit, which pervades him, discovers itself
in all his visible actions. The true-bred pu-
pill OF Jesus Christ is the same in prosperity
and adversely, in ignominy and in honor, in
veal or wo, in the circle Of admirers and
friends and under the calumnies Of enemies,
in public and in his closet, in the full flow OF
his health and spirits and in the cold embraces
of death

A KISS FOR A BLow.-A visiter once
went into a Sabbath school, where he saw a
boy and girl on one seat, who were brother
and sister. In moment Of thoughtless pas
sion, the little boy struck his sister. The little
girl was provoked and raised her hand TO re-
taru the blow. Her face showed that rage
was working within, and her ceuched list was
aimed at her brother, when her teacher caught
her eye. stop, my DEAR" said she, "you

lMPUDENCE. We have it ver-
bally, that Butler, the late Deputy Mar
shall Of Stark County, and who was re-
moved, for unfaithfulness. will not give
up his commission. This impudence,
eminds us of the fable of the Old man
and Boy. An old man caught a boy up
one ofhis sppIe trees, and ordered him
down. The boy laughed at him. The
old man took up some hits of wood and
tufts Of grass, and threw at him. The
archiu slill laughed at him. The cld
man then tried what virtue, there was 10
stones, and soon brought him down.
The application in this case, is very
simple. If The Massillonians can't get
a man out Of Office, by opening The
door, and telling him 10 GO, then they
ought TO try what virtue there is in kicks

GFWe lay before our readers this
week, THE B.TREASURY BILL,
and hope they will give 1t an attentive
perusal. Nothing has so distracted
tho Wings for The lasttwo years, as
the. divorce Of the Government from
bank influence, Last winter, when this
bill passed The Senate, and was defeated
by small majority in The House,it was
denounced by the whole federal press,
as the most desperate attempt at the as
sumption Of power,ever aimed at by the
democratic party. Now that it has
again passed the Senate, and is likely
TO become a law, they say it can be Of
''iltle or no injury to the liberties Of
The countiy,and cannot help but be benz
eficial towards establishing a sound
circulating medium, or currency ofun-
doubted security" We cannot account
for this sudden change of opinion on the

o. Mr.. Bartley's Bank Reform Bill,
passed the lower House, on the ll,h
inst by vote of 33 to 81. Itis worthy
of remark that not a single Wing voted
for it. This accords we'll with the prin-
ciples Of that party. II shows that they
have feeling for the welfare Of,he
State; just regard for her true inter-
cts. To the Wing administratio, Of
Joseph Vance, may be traced the source
of oyerbanking end speculation, which
has deranged the circulating medium, Of
this State, ,and created an artificial price
in all kinds ofproduce, that could never
be kept up, and the fall thereof come
when it would, would bring along with
it the most disastrous effects. The press
ont hard times are part Of those effects,
and now, when the Legislature is trying
10 mend up that breach, by placing our
banks on a sound foundation, we find
the Wbig party to man, opposing any
