A WORD IN LOVE.

Reformers stand as much in danger
as anybody, of falling into what Mr..
Wesley calls sour godliness.' They
are peculiarly exposed to this, from the
opposition which they meet from those
who differ with them, and the numerous
obstacles in their way. Faitb in God,
and persuasion Of the divine presence
and protection, alone can save them. -
Relormers must be something more than
philosophers-they must be Christians,
endued with Chrjsls spirit, having low
ing, sympathetic heart, or their cold the
orizing dogmas will be cold logic, and
their repulsive sourness scatter instead
of gathering friends to their cause. In
these days of reform, we aie in danger
of reforming out of our first love- a
secession the most of all to be deprecat-
ed Methodist Reformers and Abolition

it that not only converts men TO justice,
mercy, and humanity, but to the lore of
God; spirit that converts mems souls.
CINCINNATI, has been the scene of an
other shameful mob. A Shareholder,
named Scanlin, in visiting the city, bro't
with him young female slave. She,
being legally free, left his service. He
charged her flight to the abolitonsts,
and published flaming card or two,
which raised a mob at night. They
vented their rage upon MFR. Burnett who
had never seen the girl, but who seems
to be the object of the special hatred OF
the mobiles They stoned his house,
and attempted to break open his store,
but failed The Mayor with the watch
man were promptly on the ground, and
arrested and committed some of the ri
oters, which dampened the zeal of the
rest. 1t is said to be the first time a
mob was ever put down in Cincinnati,
by authority. And perhaps this shows
that the people there are beginning to
learn that they gain nothing by their
shameful mobs. --O5erlin Evangelist.

A SLAvE-noLDER' CONVENTION, was
to be held in Northern Missouri, on the
90 inst, TO devise measures to prevent
the escape of their slaves, who seem to
have taken such delight to freedom,
that they are going off in great numbers.
CHRISTIAN UNION. Mr.. Arnold Buff
fun, in writing 20 the Philanthropist from
London, states, that he tried to attend a
meeting for promoting Christian Union, in
Exeter Hall, which will hold four thou
sand people. But that the house was so
crowded, and the space about the door
so thronged, that he could not possibly
get within hearing of the speakers, and
had to retire. O6erIin Ecang elist.
Store Breaking. A man broke into a
rum store on Sore street few nights
since, and took so much good liquor that
he was found lying under the window
next morning. HevERY cARELEssLY left

THE BUFFALO HUNT of yesterday
came near being turned ,as we see by the
Tribune, into hunt of HUMANS with
the bulfaIoes for hunters. A vast con-
course of men, women, and children had
collected, and the huntsman, after chas-
ing the herd round the enclosure, was
dragging a captive with the LAsso when
the herd burst through the barriers erect
ed for the protection of the spectators,
and scattered them in dismay. One Sc
rious occurrence is recorded, the death
of Mr. Fred. Step. Masters, of IA Bird
way. He had clambered up a tree to
escape from the animals, and falling
thereupon, was so much injured as short
ly after to expire. N Y american.
