The iray Pedo- bGpiists make Baptisis.-
In the last Advocate, perceive a letter
from Athens, in relation 10 Rev. Mr..
Safe preaching to his people "a course
OF lectures on the mode and subjects OF
baptsm.-not so much 10 show the peo.
Pile that the Bapfisrs were wrong, rs to
convince them tha, they themselves were
| right" The writer has very properly cor
rected come slanderOus statements in reIa-
lion to the Baplists, but hope he feels
no alarm lest The cause of the Bihle-hlp-
,ism should suffer in consequence of the
attempts of this Padn haptis, brother TO
holsterup the sinking cause Of infant sprink
ling. If he does, eau assure him such
an alarm is unnecessary. The cause Of
truth on this subject is in no danger, for
Baptist principles were never advancing
with greater rapidly than they now are.
This cause is safe enough already. and
your correspondent may res, assured that
attempts lk" tha, Of this good bruihcr
Safe will render its safety sill more GER
tain. cundidly believe tha, the most ec.
fectual way to make Baptsts is for Psedo-
baplisls to present before their pcnp's the
flirusy arguments by which they defend in
fan, spriusiing; and have reason to think
that the shrewdesl among the Pasdo-bap-
list friends understand this too.
In confirmation Of this remark, will
relate circumstance inat lately occurred
at Wellington, in the State OF Connecticut:
The celebrated Seth Vinton. grandfa.
,fcr of one OF our missionaries in Burmah,
had; fo'. many years been connected with
a Pa6o-baplist congregation A few
months since he called upon the Baptist
minister, and addressed him in substance
rs fellows - Mr.. c. are you willing TO
baptize me! our minister, Rev. Mr.. r.,
has been preaching two sermons to prove
infau, baptism. aud these two sermons
have settled my mind on the eubject Of
baptism. foo arguments except such as
he employed can be used in defence OF in-
fan, sprinsling,' I atn satisfied the Bap,isls
must be right" His reques, was complied
with, and in his old age, he was buried
with Chris, in baptism. My Informant
was Deacon Hosea Vin,on, father of the
missionary. and son Of tho old gentleman

Repealers and the Pricst.-There has
been quite a fare-up among the members
Of the Repeal Association of this city,
whic!l is attributed to certain expressions
coming from .Mr. .O'Connell, the great
Irish Repeater. Wherein he reflects 80 n
most ungracious manner upon the oirizens
Of this country for no; being aboli,ionisls !;
for instance, he pronounces "every man a
fa;thlcss miscreant who does not take par,
for the abolition Of slavery" and says in
another place, "shame and disgrace upon
him." By one portion Of tho Society this
language was not 10 be borne, aud they
expressed their earnest dissent from any
ouch ultra views. Another portion sus.
taiucd him in these mischievous sen,i-
menls. The consequence was. after a
noisy debate on receiving the report Of the
Committee, which disoppruved Of Mr.
O'Conncll's views as regards slavery in
this country. that the repor, was rejected
This brough, about the resignation Of Mr..
Stokes. the President. and Mr. Hood, tho

Comets and Women.-The subject Of
the nature oil comets has probably never
excited more study or inquiry, than since
the appearance Of The remarkable comet
Of 1884. which lately, Don Quizote-like,
ran q, the :ili OF The sun. But after all
The calculations and Investigations ofieorn.
ed philosophers and astronomers, the result
will probably not vary great deal lum
the conclusions at which philosopher and
wi. arrived some i've aud twenty years
ago. viz:
"Comers doubtless answer some wise
and good purpose in The creation: so do
women. Comets are iucomprehcusibic,
beautiful. and exccnlric; so nre women.
Comets shine with peculiar spleHdor, but
al night appen- mes. splendid; so do wo-
men. Comets arc enyeloped with lucid
nebua, through which their forms arc yisi-
BILE; so arc those of the women through
their light and elegant attire. Comets
confound tho most learned r1cn when they
attempt 10 learn their nature (; so do wo.
men. Comets equally excite The admira-
lion Of the philosopher and Of ',he clod OF
The valley so do women. Comets and
women, are therefore closely analogous,
but the nature Of each being inscrutable.
all that remains for us TO do. is to view
with admiration the one. and almost TO
admiration love the other
