CASTE IN HARTFoRD.-ln the recent
efforts put forth ia Hartford to save souls,
it is we'll known that Mr.. Kirk was invit-
ed by some of the Congregational minis
ters 10 labor in their churches and societi-
es. In these efforts allthe Congregation
.al ministers and churches save one were
invited TO partaSe. And why was ibis one
minister and church excluded! Was 1t
because this church was so corrupt that 1t
was doubtful whether it was church Q.
Christ? Certainly not. DR.. Halves once
speaking Of one of its deacons, said, 81
wish my deacons were as good men as !
have evidence to believe this deacon il"
Was it because the minister was not pious?
No; for be is regarded 10 be as faithful as
any in the place. Was it because he was
so iguorant, that they would be ashamed
of him? No; for | have heard an intel
ligent minister bear testimony to his abil-
ity and cIoseness as a preacher. Why
then this marked neglect! He is an &C
credited ambassador of God-the temple
of the Holy Ghost-Christ's brother.-
Again | ask, why then this marked neg
Iect? Oh! he was guilty Of skin it,
tie more highly coIored than their owQ
that's all. We can only say 20 my soul,
come not thou into their secret unto their
assembly, mine honor, be not thou united"

fusal of the SeIectmen OF this town to grant
any licences for the sale of that poison
which has spread devastation through our
country, does that Board the highest hon
or. Il has created a thrill Of JOY among
our citizens. and we do moi believe there
can be found q family in Worcester which
does not participate in the joy.
If now any choose to stand forth as
Rum sellers CT as defenders Of the prac,
tice, they will do SO at their own risk, and
the reward oftheir own hands will be Civ
en- them. Let all license Iaws'' be re-
pealed, and the greatest obstacle to the
progress Of the Temperance reformation
will have been removed. Oh. Reflector.
