THE VILLAGE PASTOR.

Y
There is beautiful little village on the
western bank Of the Connecticut, in the
Green Mountain State, noted by the passing
traveller, for its wild and picturesque scene
BY. Huge. towering hills seem to hang
|tAer bsslling SUBMITS over the very church
|spre, which CLOVIS in the sunset hues, long
before they have left the opposite heights
'that tower in rivalry, from the border line
'pf the old aGfanite State" There is
'singulafngainess and regularity in the small,
'white cottages that peep out from behind
Bong rows OF lofty naples, that link their
bro'her-arms in defiance Of the storm. The
JEWELLERS 10 this glen, were industrious and
moral. Regularly as The Sabbath came,
parents ard children in their sunday clothes,
snigbt. be seen vending their way al the call
u the church-bell, to listen TO their beloved
.nipistcr. He was indeed worthy man
Intelligent, Of the kindest heart, that could
reiolce or weep with the people of his
charge. His willing footsteps were always
heard around the dying bed; and he had
always a word Of consolation for the mourn
ing heart, and whisper Of heaven for the
departing saint. For many years, he went
in and out fore his people With the faith
funess Of the Sabbath sun, and led hi:
lille flock into green pastures, and by still
waters, from which they always returned
refreshed and eomforted.
Busthis good shepherd was not altoge,he,
without his faults, for when he saw any 0
bis flock roaming away upon the dark noun
tains, where prowl the lion ard The bear, j
his soft tones Of entreaty could not cal
them back, rather than frighten and disturb
their peace, he chose to let them go. An,
II peIchance he tracked some wanderer ia
away upon these gloomy heights, and fount
him stumbling upon the brink Of the preci
plce that overhung the deep ravine, if th,
voice of love, and the gentle enuealy, ant
'he'calm warning would not turn him, rath
than thunder sure destruction in his ear
would let him quietly 90 over. and a,
ne death'"aIl rung up from the cavern
rocks ne would return weeping from hi
Onavailiny journey. And when his ta,ds,
heart led him to follow some strav;nrl,
upon forbidden ground, as he beheid II
prowling beast and heard his fearful how
his heart would faint; and so he wonl
leave it to be torn in pieces. Sometime
this shepherd slept and the watching wo
crept IN, and bore away the choicestof b
iold; and when his brethren were in Il
neat oil pursuit, be would wind bis bora [;
'nelr return, lest they should spend the
strength in vain.

THE AFRICANS DREAM.

THE AFRICANS DREAMs
gbsre were bright visions in my dreams,
siahts of my native land
How beautiful her bonny streams,
Flowing DER golden sand
How beautiful the flowers beside,
STOPPING 10 drink their silver tide.
INV old companions bounding came
From bamboo huts and bowers,
BIO press my hand and call my name'
And talk of boyhood's hours
And there was one, my countrys pride,
NV heart seemed bursting when she died.
That wife, the faithful and the fair,
Came with her lovely face.
With well known voice, and cheerful air
She rushed to my embrace,
And pressed my lips, while smiles and tears
Stole from my heart the grief of years. d.
Brothers and sisters, kindred all,
With the sweet voice and eye,
Welcomed the lost one from his thrall,
To native Ian I'D sky;
Their tears of pity, fast and warm,
Fell as they marked my scar wrealhed form
Why did We wake me from my sleep,
To unavailing tears
. My heart is DER the mighty deep,
Mid scenes of other years
Better that had walked no more,
Or died upon my own bright shore.
Well, | shall weep--and toil--and die
Then, when my soul is free,
How quickly will it soar and fly
My native land, to thee I!
There shall roam as free as air,
With the loved ones that walt me there.

have done more. The circle Of his infiu-
ence was bounded by the lines Of his little
parish, and as he seldom went beyond them,
SO few ever came to assist him in his la
bors, for he always feared voice that rose
a note above his wonted key, and "pru-
dence" and "cau,ion" were his faVorite
words. His sermons were like the gentle
dew that refreshes the tender bud, or the
warm summer rain that reviVes the thirsty
flower, rather than like the whirlwind and
the thunder that ouses the mountain-wander-
er 10 fly for refuge from the gathering storm.
He might have done more! Had he dealt
a heavier blow, the ainty heart would have
been broken by the hammer of truth, and
louder voices would have called back the
deserter from the dark mountains Of unbeIief
But he has gone TO his rest, and it becomes
me not TO disturb his pleasant grave.

nan has right tq infct on me Or my
amiIv the visit Of his children, without
nv knowledge or conscnt. Nor have I .
my right to do sd with him. And had
much rather aneio Ator wouIdturn his horse ,

almost infinitely tthcr, as the horse would
only devour the led; but who can ca!cn-
late the evil thai may result from one
hours unrestrairtd and unobserved inter
course of chiIdreh with each other.
7. Another gre3e esil is the rec!llessness
in respect to training their child
ren. Many parents seem to turn their
children to and fro, to wander like a wild
ass colt. ESQ be they are cut ofthe way
it matters little with some parents, where,
or in what company they are. Now If
there is any thing in the universe that de-
serves the severest apprehension, and |
must add, the deepest damnation, it is such
a reckless spirit in parents. 1t is tempt
ing God. No language can describe its
guiIt.
8. A great want of frmness on the part
of parents. in training their children, is
another great evil. Firmness may re-
spect:
~ The government and discipline Of
their children.
~ Guarding them against evil inhu-
ence from abroad.
(3) Resisting those habits Of society
that would subject their children to that
kind and degree Of contact with other
children, which will positively ruin them.
(4.) 1t may respect those fashions. in
regard to dress and many other things,
that tend to carry their children away from
God.
g. Another d'thcu'ty IN the way IS q
want OF faith and deep pie'y IN parents
Many parents seem to have 30 practical
confidence IN the promises OF the B'0'e' IN
respect to Their cnI'dren' Ihey nave
very ht'IePietyE; and many OF them seem
not to know I "a there are such mu't"uoeS
OF exceeding great ana precious promises
upon which tAey may rely

al who have been wont 20 contribute to
the support Of our missions, h2d been dis
timely op3rised Of their necessities, and
having literally extended their aid IN the
late painful emergency, it was supposed
that reli3nce might be placed on their
continued generous cooperation, without
further Intervention CT the Board, except
by its ordinary agencies.
Within a few months, however, this
cherished expectation has been frustrattd
by an alarming decrease of contributions.
Instead Of $4,000 per L.onth-the average
amount required for the vigorous nrosecu-
ton Of our work-lhe last months re-
ceipts We're less than $1,000, and the IA
ito of the current receipts since the 18th
OF April, the beginning of the financial
year, are less than $4,000, or nearly the
same as in the corresponding portion of
the previous year, and exhibit a proper
tionate deficiency. The missions are
again sinking into the embarrassments
which compelled the reduction of our OF
erations year ago; the demands On the
churches for immediate relief are equally
pressing; and unless that relief be gign
with equal promplitnde, the disastrous
results which were painfully foreboded
then, will now be realized. 4 bardea-
some debt will be incurred Of several
thousand dollars, or the process of redue-,

POLITICAL ORGANIZATION


The following nre Dr. Channing's views OF the
Third Political Parry movement, as expressed in
his recent work on Emancipation:
"Having spoken OF 'he''ln,es of the individual

in their poli' zeal capacity IN regard TO slavery and
these may bn reduced 10 two heads both of them

States wher, it is established, us from exsfnsing

secuni is, to free OURSELVES from all obligation IC
Use the powers of the national or state govern
ments in any manner wl.a,eTer for the support o
slavery.
The first duty is clear In regard to slavery, ihl
southern States stand on the ground Of foreign
communities They are not subiec, or responsible
TO us more than these. No State sovereignty cap
