THE DEATH OF CHRIST.

From the tolls and trials of distressing but
perfect life follow this illustrious parsonage to
the place of death Approach his cross, and fix
your attention on the prodigies which signalize
his suferings, and stamp divinity on his mar
tyrdom! Think not that | alude to the terrific
drapery which in that dread hour was flung a.
round the great theatre of nature No: It's not
the darkened sun, the bursting tombs, the qua
king mountains, or the trembling world that /
allude to! These indeed are prodges; but these
vanish before the still greater prodigies of meek
ness, humility, and sin-forgiving goodness dis
played in the dying Saviour. When | behold
him. amid the last agonies of dissolving nature,
raising his dying eyes to heaven, and, forgetful
Of himself interceding with the God of mercy
with his last breath, and from his very cross, in
behalf of those wretches whose Unsuitable malice
had fixed him there-then it is that the evidence
of his claims rises to demonstration and feel the
resistIess force of that impassioncd exclamation,
which burst from the lips of infdelity itself If
Socrates died as philosopher, Jesus Christ di-
ed as a God"
And shall worm covered with crime, and
living on suferance in that same world where
the agonizing Saviour uttered his dying suppl
cation, and left his dying example for imitation
shall such worm, tumid with resentment,
lift his proud crest to his feIow-worm, and, in
capable of mercy, talk of retrbutonl No: bless
ed Jesus, thy death is an antidote to vengeance,
At the foot of thy cross meet my enemies,
forget their injuries, bury my revenge, and I
learn to forgive those who have done NEW rong,
as also hope to be forgiven of hee-Dr Mott.

A SOUTHERN SCENE.

Extract of letter received by Nathan Henshaw,
of Randolph county, Indiana, from cores
pondent in the South
"The crying injustice and cruelty of slavery
had frequently engaged my attention during the
course of this journey but never more than
while in this place. where this oppressed race is
very numerous, and frequently sold at auction
like cattle At one of these sales | was much
affected in hearing young colored man pleading
his cause. His aged father and mother, and his
wife and child were all mounted upon stage, so
that they might be seen by the bidders, they be-
ing about to be sold. The young man stepped
forward and stood beside them but was soon or
dered down. He said he wanted to be sold with
them; but was told he could not, as it was sale
to satisfy mortgage upon the others, in which
he was not included He pleaded with very az
fecting and moving language, to show how hard
it was to be separated from his family but it
was all to no purpose. When he saw that his
prayers were unheeded, and that the others would
be sold without him, he burst into flood of
tears, and, in the anguish of his feelings, be-
sought them rather to kill him "for," said he.
" l would rather die than be separated from my
family" Upon this he was dragged off the
scaffold, and driven away.
The company went on bidding, apparently
as uncOncerned as though the auctioneer had
been selling sheep, while the screams and
prayers of the aged parents, and those of the be-
reaved wife, with her infant in her arms, went
up to heaven in behalf of themselves, and espe-
cially for the poor young man. who had been so
inhumanly torn from them. Besides these VIC
tins of cruel and unchristan avarice, there was
large number more confined in cellar,
who were brought out and sold to different pur-
chasers Thus il is that near relatives are vio-
lently separated, never to see each other in this
world /"

WORTH MAKES THE MAN,

Worth makes the mani not wealth. not dress!
not parade You will find more real manliness,
more sound sense, more loneliness of character,
in the humble walks of life, than was ever
dreamed of in the circles of fashion, Of pride, of
wealth, of Cheserfedian rules of politeness.
When man of sense---no matter how humble
his origin, or lowly his occupation, may appear
in the eyes of the vain and foppish--s treated
with contempt, he will not soon forget it; but will
put forth all the energies of his mind to rise a.
bove those who thus look down in scorn upon
him. By stunning the mechanic, we exert an
influence derogatory to honest labor and make
it Questionable for young men to learn trades
or labor for a support Did our young women
realize that for all their parents possess for al
they have they, are indebted to the mechanic, i
would be their desire to elevate him and encour
age his visits to their society, while they would
treat with scorn the lazy, the sponger and thu
well dressed pauper On looking back few
years, our most fastidious ladies can trace thei
geneaIogy from some humble mechanics, who
perhaps, in their day were sneered at by tn
proud and foolish, while their grandmothers glad
" received them to their bosoms.

DEATH OF A CHILD.

No one feels the death of child as a mother
feels it. Even the father cannot realize it thus.
There is vacancy in his home, and heaviness
in his heart. There is chain Of association
that at set times comes round with its broken
link; there are memories of endearment, keen
sense of loss, weeping over crushed hopes, and
pain of wounded affection. But the mother
feels that one has been taken away who was still
closer to her heart Hers has been the office Of
constant ministration. Every graduation of fea-
ture has developed before her eyes. She has
detected every new CLEAN Of intelligence. She
heard the first utterance of every new word. She
has been the refuge of his fears; the supply of his
wants. And every task of affection has woven
new link, and made dear to her its Object
And when he dies, portion of her own life, as
it were dies. How can she give him up with
all these memories, these associations The
tmid hands that have so often taken hers in trust
and love, how can she fold them on his breast
and give them up to the cold clasp of death p
The feet whose wanderings she has watched SC
narrowly, how can she see them straitened to &c
down into the dark valley? The head that she
has pressed to her lips and her bosom, that she
has watched in burning sickness and in peaceful
slumber, hair of which she could not see harm
ed O how can she consign it to the chamber
of the grave? The form that not for one nigh
has been beyond her vision or her knowledge
how can she put it away for the long night of the
sepulchre, to see it here no more? Man ha
cares and tolls that draw away his thoughts anc
employ them the mother sits in loneliness, ant
all these memories, all these suggestions, Grove
upon her. How can she bear all this? Sh'
could not, were it not that her faith is as her al
lection; and if the one is more deep and tende
than in man, the other is more simple and spon
taneous, and takes confidently hold of the ham
of God-Reu. E. IT. Chaplin.

SLAVERY AND MISSIONS.

MEssRs. POLAND AND BRIGGs:--I have Just re-
turned fran attending the missionary convention
held in your village, and sit down to write re-
Election Or two. To give full sketch of the pro-
ccedings, time will not allow, nor does necessity
require. In view Of some things said and done,
every christian could but dice and bless God
In view Of other things, | must say, that grief
sorrow surprise and shame were the emotions
which filled my soul and seemed struggling for the
ascendency am surprised and grleved that the
officers of the A. B. C. F. M. acknowledge so
much, and yet do 30 lille in reference to the in
conceivable wrongs of the crushed millions of the
souts of Africa DR.. Anderson said that he pre-
sumes that NO person at the Convention knelp so
much about slavery as himself; having travelled
more extensively than others in the countries
where the institution prevaes; and that he should
yield to no one in his adherence OF it. Very well,
Dr., | am glad to hear your confession in these
strong terms. Let US look at it. fyon know as
much about slavery as any of US, and will yield
the supremacy to no one in abhorrng it., then,
with Samuel Hopkins ofF76, you can say, Slave
ry is, in every Instance wrong, unrghteous and
Oppressive, very great and crying sin, there be-
ing nothing cfthe kind equal 10 ii on the face ofe
earth With Grotius, you are prepared to say
that "Those are 'men stealers' who abduct, KEEP,
sell, or buy slaves or freemen." To steal man
is the highest kind Of theft. lfyou know as much
about slavery as Jonathan Edwards did, (and
presume you do even more,) apd ifyou abhOr it
,s he did. YOU will subscribe to his assertion, that
alt is as really wicked to rob man of his liber.
ty, as to rob him of his life; and il is much more
wicked than 10 rob him Of his property. To hold
man in state of slavery, is to be every day
guilty of robbing HIM Of his liberty, or of mar
steang"- You are prepared also to say with
RowlandlHill, "Slavery is made up of every crime
that treachery, cruelty and murder can invent
and nttn ,stealers are the very Wor't Of h'eUeS.
Now, my brother, respect your sacred ONCE a

! sonary board; love the kindness of feeling whlc

THE WAY TO BE HAPPY.

Happiness is always to be found, if we will
only condescend to pick it up seed by seed. As
none of its ingredients should be thought too mi
mute to be gathered and added to our store, SC
none should be deemed too insignificant for dis
tribution to others. Occasions for comforting
great benefits do not often occur, and when they
do, it may not be in our power to bestow them
but the little services and qualification which eve
ry current day places within the means of the
humbest member of society, will constitute, i
we all throw our share in the common stock, NJ
uncomfortable aggregate of human enjoymen
and mutual good will

From the Boston Morning Chronicle


Two very interesting meetings were held
yesterday at the Mount Vernon church, to
hear from the venerable Dr. Beecher, an ac
count of the religious experience which has
been enjoyed within the past year, by some
members in Lane Seminary, and Others in
the West, and to unite in conference and
prayer for the extension of the same bless
mgS elsewhere. His statements were ex-
tremely interesting and instructive. He rep
resented that gnod many persons had late
y found by happy experience, the blessing
Of sancti6cation, by simple faith in Chlst.
Christians who feel the need of holiness, seek
it too much in legal way, and not by faith.
lis said the requisites to the obtaining the
blessing, were:
1. A firm belief that it is practicable:
2. A strong conviction that it is a duty to
possess it, and q sin to be without it
3. A fixed determination to seek it, and tc
seek it now:
4. A willingness to sacrifice every thing
no matter what, that obstructs its attainment
5. A diligent use of all the means Of grace
especially the word of God and prayer:
And then there should be simple depen
dence on Christ for it. All seeking which il
not by faith in the Saviour, is legal, and mus
be Intellectual He said Of himself. that h,
had begun to enjoy it, though he sought i
so late in life. His whole soul was in hi
theme. and a large assembly of Christians
including many ministers, listened with thu
deepest interest

THE FERE-SEDE.
A WORD TO MOTHERS.

Each mother is historian She writes not
the history Of empires or of nations on paper, but
she writes her own history on the imperishabIe
mind of her child That tablet and that history
will remain indelible when time shall be no more.
That history each mother will meet again, and
read with eternal joy or unutterable grief in the
far coming ages of eternity This thought should
weigh on the mind of every mother, and render
her deeply circumspect, and prayerful and faith
full in her solemn work of training up her chill
dren for heaven and immortality The minds
of children are very susceptible and easily i'm
pressed A word, a look, frown may engrave
an impression on the mind of child which nc
lapse of time can efface or wash out. You walk
along the sea-shore when the tide is out, anC
YOU form characters, or write words or names In
the smooth white sand, which lies spread out SC
clear and beautiful at your feet, according a!
your fancy may dictate, but the returning tide
shall in a few hours wash out and effacc forever
all that you have written. Not so with the line
and characters Of truth, or error, which you
conduct imprints on the mind Of your child
There you write Impressions for the everlasting
good or i'll of your child, which neither the flood
nor storms of earth can wash out, nor Death
cold fingers erase, now the slow-movlng ages o
eternity obIiterate. How careful then, shouI'
each mother be Of herself in her treatment 0
her child How prayerful, and how serious, an,
how earnest to write the eternal truths Of God Of
his mind-those truths which shall be his guild
and teacher when her voice shall be silent il

TO THE YOUNG.

If there be one crown deeper set with stars
than another; if there be one robe finer than an
other in its texture and more white in its aspect,
that crown and that robe may be set aside to
adorn the brow and to grace the spirit of that
youth, the freshness and prime of whose anec-
tons were given to God who Stunned the crowd
ed avenues of dissipation; whose young thirst for
pleasure was slaked at religions fountain; and
whose lofty aspirngs were not for the honor that
that cometh from man, but for the honor which
cometh from God only. If, then, such diadem
be wreathed for you, and such joy be treasured
for you, and whatever there can be of beauty
or of brightness be awaiting your acceptance, "
will you not grid up the loins ofyour mind be
sober, and hope to the end, and run with patience
the race that is set before you, looking unto JE-
sUs, the author and fnisher of your fath!"-

We are but fve-O, let us keep
The link that binds us bright.
Heart leaps to heart-the sacred flood

That good old man-his honest blood
Alike we fondly claim

Round the same hearth we played,
Our boyish sports were all the same,
