Entertaining these views, it would AFFORD
me the highest satisfaction to hear Of an
adjustment of the controversy, recon-

the church, and the preservation of lis
unity.

the subject, without expressing any o.

posing myself to improper imputations.

some arrangement of the difficulty may
be devised and agreed npon which shall

Tsac EdsGsatgy OF Wealth,

This insane and Unsuitable passion for
accumulation, ever ready, when crcum-
stances favor, to seize upon the public
mind, IS ha' Glove Of money which is the
root of all evil" that "covetuousncss
which is idolatry." 1t springs from an
undue, an idolatrous estimation Of the
value o! property. Many are feeling that
nothing, nothing will do for them or their
children, but wealth; nota good charac,.
ter, nor well trained and well executed
faculties, not virtue, not the hope of hea-
ven-nolhing bat wealth. 1t is their god,
and the god Of their families. Their
sons are growing up to the same worship
OF 1t, and to all equally baneful reliance
upon 1t for the future; they are rushing
into expenses, which the divided proper.
~ OF their fathers hn;sc will not enable
them to sustain; and they arc preparing
to be'ln turn and from necessity, slaves to
the same idol. How truly is it written,
that ''they that riY be rich, fall into many
temptations and snares, and fall into ma
ny foolish and hurtful lusts which drown
men in destruction and perdition!'' There
IS no need that they should be rich, but
they wiH be rich All the noblest func-
tons of life may be discharged Without

It, nothing will do but wealth. Disnp-

EsgNS|g'HJ&B.E,EH

A very worthy friend of ours had a
peculiar method ofjudging of men. When
any one was recommended to him, The
first inquiry was, ''does he pay his debts
is he punctual to his appcintmentln-lor
our friend held il cardinal maxim that
he who never suffers himself to be dun~
ned for Just debt, if it be in his power
to pay, and is also scrupulous in the fulfil
ment OF his word, even in matters which
are generally regarded as Of little imports
ance, has the basis Of goodness within
him, and is not likely to become bad
man. And it strikes us that the rule is
all excellent one. 1t is true that many
people are careless in dischargIng their
Indebtedness, particularly in reference 20
those small bills which are run III mat
tiers of domestic life. They do not feel
1t as the commission Of a wrong, TO cause
their humble creditors to dance attcn"
dance for weeks and months in pursuit Of
what is their just right; but it is III effect
an actual dishonesty, robbing those of
time, which to them is money, who are
little able to suffer the loss. Some do
this through carclessncss and want Of due
consideration for the comfort of others;
bu: there are persons who will not pay
unit! they cannot help it, from u rcluc-
lance to part with money, even if it be
not their own. But in either case, they
are in the habiual perpetration OF wrong,
which is incompatible with a high sense
Of honour.
Then again as to punctuai!y in enr
gagemCnts. Tie true man, conscientious
and consldeIate, is as inheXibIe
in this respect as the strike of
time. If he promises to be at rarticu-
lar moment, he is there in defiance of all
impeachment; or else he takes such mea-
surcs to inform you that he cannot come
as will suffice to prevent your being sub
lected to Inconvenience. And so, in all
other matters, his word is his bond. Yet
how few there are who carry into their
practice principle like this But with>
out assuming tina, all who thus fail, de-
serve to be spoken Of with harshness, we
do think that our old friend was pretty
nearly right in his doctrine, that conli~
dence is to be reposed in those who are
prompt to pay their debts and are punctu-
a! to fulfil their engagements, and that
deficiencies in these respects may natur-
ally and properly lead to doubts and hes
ltation. Let every young man, therefore,
who feels anxious to !orm his character
upon the manly model, take care always
10 keep the principles in view to which
VIC have here briefly alluded They not
only involve the essentials of justice, hon
esty and honour; but they likewise con-
tribute largely 10 the substantial comfort
and real advantage of those who practise

Where the scattered waters rave,
And the winds their rcvcls keep!

The spray and the tcuposts roar
Once more on the deck I stand,
Oimy own swift gliding cratt
Set sail farewell 10 the aud

We shoot through the spark ling foam

that heard, in the course Of the past year,
Of the danger Of division Of the church,
in consequence of difference Of opinion
existing on the delicate and unhappy sub
iect of slavery. A division for such a
cause, would be an event greatly to be de-
plored, both on account of the church
itself and its political tendency. Indeed
scarcely any public occurrence has hap
pcned for long time that gave me so
much real concern and pain as the men
aced separation of the church by line

and all the slave States on the other.
