either injury or insult, ind that If he could
be convinced he had wrOngcd him at all, he
was willing to make aluple reputation, The
Southron boiled over it'll clivalrous indlg-
nation for a few mUiurnts, discharged a vol

Without the slightest indication Of fear or
seryility, he net his opponents violence with
true h%crolstn, declared that they had hitherto
been friends. and he meant TO maintain his
friendly attitude, however he might be treat
ed, and coniurcd the threatener to consider
how unworthy Of himself his present temper,
language and conduct were. His manner,
look, words, tone, had their effect. The flush
Of anger turned to 4 blush of shame and COM
FUNCTION. The subdued Southron stepped
frankly forward, reached forth his trembling
hand, and exclaimed-"I hare spoken and
acted like a fool can sou JOrgire me p

spouse. Instantly they were locked in each
others embrace; reconciliation was COM
plete; and they were evermore fast friends.
The Substance of this anecdote was given by
a worthy minister of the Baptist persuasion,
after one of my lectures on non-resistance !;

ness Of The scene.
IMPoUND1NG THE HORSE.
A man approached his neighbor in great
anger one afternoon, saying" Sirrah! l
found your horse loose in the road this morn
ing, and put him in the pound, where he now
is. If you want him, go and pay the fees
and take him out. And ! give you notice
now, that Just as often as | find him loose in
the highway, | will impound him at your
cost" Sand H. said the neighbor, "look-
ing out of my window this morning, saw
your cows in my cornfeld. ! drove them all
ont, aud turned them into your pasture. l
now give you notice that as often as | find
them in my cornield, I 1riH do just so again"
The first was humbled, reconciled, sent to
the pound, paid the fees, and restored his
neighbours horse TO him with an honorable
apology for his i'll temper.-.2nonymous.
ARCHBISHOP SHARPE.
"Archbishop Sharpe was assaulted by a
footpad on the highway, who presented a pis-
tol and demanded his money. The Arch
bishop spoke to the robber in the language of
a fellow man and of a Christiln. The man
was really in distress, and the prelate gave
him such money as he had, and promised
that, if he would call at the palace, he would
make up the amount to fifty pounds. This
was the sum IF which the rObber said he was
in the utmost need. The man called and re-
ceiyed the money. About a year afterwards,
this man came again to the palace, and brought
back the same sum. He said that his cir
cumstances had become improved, and that,
through the astonishing goodness" of the
Archbishop, he had become " the most peni-
tent, the most grateful, and happiest of his
Species" Let the reader consider how diff
ferent the Archbishop's feelings were from
what they would have been if by his hand
this man had been cut oh."-Dymond.

have seen an impressive anecdo;c oG this
distinguished London preacher, which | have
failed to find among my papers, nDtwithstand-
ing considerable search. l have but an inn
perfect recollection of the details, but the sub
stance was as follows: Mr.. Hill was re-
turning from an excursion out Of the city,.
A man suddenly beset him from the way side,
pistol in hand, and demanded his purse. Mr..
Hill calmly scrutinized his countenance with
q lock OF compassion, and, while taking out
his money, remarked'to the robber that he did
moi look like a man of that bloody calling,
and he was afraid some extreme distress had
driven him TO The crime. Al the same time

The man was affected, declared this was his
first offence, and pleaded the distress of his
family as his only excuse. Mr.. Hill kindly
assured him of his sympathy, and of his will
lIngnesS to relieve him. He gave him a GER
tain sum on the spot, and promised him fur
ther aid, if he would call at his house. The
robber was melted into tears, humbly thank
ed his bGnefactor, and hasteued towards the
city. Mr.. Hill, DESTROYS of knowing the whole
truth Of the matter, directed his servant TO fol-
low the man home. This was accordinrl Y
done, and it was aScertained that the poor
man occupied a miserable tenement in an OBJ
scure street, where his wife and children were
on the verge of starvation. He was seen to
hasten first to "A bakery, and then home with
a few loaves of bread. His wife received
the bread with joy, but with establishment,
expressing her hope that her dear husband
had obtained 1t by none but innocent means.
The children cried for Joy as they began TO
s%atiate their hunger, and the father alone look
ed sad. Mr.. Hin benevolently took this
man under his immediate care, provided a
tenement for his family, and made him his
coacllman. He proved TO be a remarkably
honest and industrious man: and in a little
uIe became a convert TO experimental rcli-
glon, and connected himself with Mr.. Hills
church. For fifteen years he walked with
such Chilsilan clrcumspeclon as TO command
the entire confidence Of all who knew him.
At length he died in the triumphs of hone.
His pastor preached an affecting funeral SER
mon on the occasion, in which for the first
nme, he communicated the affair of the rob-
berry, and took occasion TO impress on his au-
ditoTs the excellency Of Christian forbearance.

course Of crime, and by divine grace render

brother in Christ. How different mint have
been the result, had Rowland Hill either re-
sisted him with deadly weapons, or taken
