delight and profit. Its object is 10 show
how evil may be overcome by kindness
that kiss for blow will In all cases be
better than blow for blow-and that retail
Iaton and revenge are contrary TO the
spirit of Christianity. These lessons are
inculcated in the shape of stories - the
simple facts of which, Mr.. Wright states,
with few exceptions, have occurred under
his own observation. They are, in short,
sketches drawn from life. During the

Among the faithful, selfdenying labor
ers,. tho have gone into the great field of
christian reform within the last ten years,
HENRY G. WRIGHT stands conspicuous.
In the cause of antlsIavery-of temper
ance-of peace on earth, and good will to
mankind-of religious Iibery-no one
has labored more assiduousy, and, we
think, scarce Y any one has done more
. good. If his sly as reforme is less
polished and popular than is that of some
( others, in depth of sincerity, in simplicity
of heart, and in fidelity to principle, he
Certainly has no superior. All who are
intimately acquainted with him know that
he exempliies, 10 his walk and convetsa-
lion, the doctrines and prineipl les that he
promulges with so much zeal and consis.

gantlc sins and sinners, Chopgh to some
temperaments they may SAVIOR OF harshness,)
are uttered dispassionateIy and ia love !;
and such are needed, as we'll as gentle ex-
postuIations, ia every great reform. For
years, be has labored without any regular
salary, and has barely Obtained subsis-
tence from day TO day. With this he has
humbly been content, asking and seeking
nothing more. @

J.. STATE OF THINGS IN LOUISIANA
gentleman direct from the State of Louis
lana informs US, that the pecuniary cond
: ton of that State is becoming truly depIo
= able. II appears that the Banks in thu
u Stale have been in the habit of letting o,
~ their money for eight years, 10 be paid
e instalments, and that the last instaImel
1f on the immense sqns of money loaned
$ the planters is about coming due, all Il
IL preceding instalments remaining unpa
ne also, not even The interest,", he says, havin
H. been paid. As consequence, unlvers
ne ruin is antici 9ated, as the Banks, in the
IN present condition. will be compelled
en- wind up their affairs immediately. I'll
%. planters, he says, owe these Banks f
no the money with which their negroes We
OF bought, and that too when negroes we
zen worth 800 or 1000 dollars each. while
ne the present time they would scarcely fet'
e. $50 dollars each. The sugar plante
