ose before him, wrapped in storm and cloud,
through whose gloomy fodings cleaned cross
The clouds rolled away and 10 the Strength OF
Israel, the Refuge of Judah, hung in death -
Again the vision changed-the sepulchre was
open, and like an ascending glory that form rose
to heaven.
The scene vanished from his sight, and with
the rock for his couch, and the blue sky for his
covering, he lay down to die. Oh who can tell
what the mighty awgiver felt left in that dread
full hour alone The mystery of mysteries was
to be passed. No friend was beside his couch
to soothe him, no voice to encourage him in that
last, darkest of all human struggles. No one
was with him but God, and though with one
hand he smote him, with the other he held his
dying head, How long was he dyngl God a
lone can answer What words did his quivering
lips last utterl God alone knows. Was his
last prayer for Israel-his last words Of the
Crucifedl From that lowly rock did a shout go
up Oh, Death, where is thy sting? Oh, Grave,
where is thy vctoryr Of that last scene and It's
last changes we know nothing, but when 1t was
over, Moses lay corpse on the mountain top.
And God buried HIM There he slept alone
the mountain cloud which night hung around
him was his only shroud, and the thunder of the
passing storm was his only dirge There he
slept while centuries rolled by, his grave un-
known and unvsited, until at length he is seen
standing on Mount Tabor, with Christ in the
TRANSPORTATION. Over Jordan at last--in Ca
naan at last.
will not speak here of the instruction this
scene affords From the very summit of his sor-
rows, where he had gone to die, Moses, for The rst
time in his life, caught view of Canaan. lie
did not know, as he went over the rocks, torn
and weary, how lovely the prospect was from the
top. In this world it frequently happens that
when man has reached the place Of anguish, God
rolls away the mist from before his eyes, and the
very spot he selected as the receptacle OF his
tears becomes TIE place This rapture.
For thirty days did the Israelltes mourn at the
base of that mountain over their departed leader,
and then mournflly struck their tents, and NOV
ed away. Consecrated by the death of Moses
receiving his last prayer and last sigh, Mount
Pisgah stands the third sacred mountain on the

The following resolutions, which were adopt

the world, and that Temperance men and Tenn

the widest possible extension.

Forty Slaves Ranlized.

From document published by Rev. c. c. Jones, of
Liberty Co. Georgia learn that the rector of Charles
Clty County Va reports that in one household forty
c9ored children were baptized. They "were instruct
ed IN the doctrines and duties of religion by their mis-
'reSS VINO presented them by the request of their pa
rents, and appeared as their sponsor" According to
the Episcopal service, the officiating clergyman pro-
poses to the mistress the following question: "Dos
'hou IN the name of this child renouncc the devil and
all his works, the vain pomp and glory of this world
Wltn all covctous desires of the same and the sinful
desires of the flesh, 50 that thou wilt not follow be
led by them She answers, 81 renounce them all, and
oy Gods help will endeavor not to follow or be led by
them"
What else is this than most solemn farce? wo-
man who claims forty little children as her property
renounces in their name, 'the vain pomp and glory OF
inns world" This part, at least of her promise she
will doubtless fulfil, for little of this worlds glory will
these poor children ever know Union Missionary.

correspondent from his particularly, had them before
him, am disposed to believe his statement correct
His correction, going eo-eNSiyely with the error,
will prevent any injurious influence havc no excuse
to offer for my bunder unless it be my want Of suta
BILE care to collect and compare dates. Any reader
must have observed that my ausion to the two pBrtles
was to show, that neither party organized in Con-
gress, party, 20 oppose anneXaton-and lconlesS
my habit of viewing the administration as wing ad-
ministration while Tyler was in office, and majority
Of the Senate were whg led me to write houghtlcss

resentatives of the other party. Upon this pon
will add my conversation with a prominent man il
political reading, for the purpose of testing my owl
recollection, whose momentary recollection correspon
ded with mine But, what appears more singular t.
me, the dates differ, is, when mentioning the dozeI
or fifteen negative votes, my mind dwet upon the late
vote upon the War Bill, instead of that to which m,
writing alluded. This War Bill, to be sure is mucl

RARE TRUTHs.-Durng the late annual meeting of
the Am Board complaint was made by the Secretaries
that the circulation of the Missionary Herald was con-
tinuolly decreasing and the inquiry raised how it
could be remedied. Among all the reasons assigned
none struck us as approximatng near the truth as
the following -
Rev. Gro TRAsK, of Warren, Mass thought that
Drs. Bacon Stowe, and others, had not reached the
diculty-they have spent all their time in discussing
the qlt0 nl0dO of increasing the amount OF missionary
intelligence There is, he said with all due Difference
one element wanting in the Missionary IIeraId-an in
fusion of the spirit of freedom. There are many who
think that there are some heather in this country
whether legtmaely within the sphere of the Boards
efforts he could not say-who ought to receive little
attention in the Herald lie trusted that what he
obout TO say would disturb no one He had made nc
professions of being an abolitionst for seven years
and he did not think he should for seven years to

Herald is rather ~ and would be much more inter

millions of heather at home as the New York Evan

and other papers do Such information increases great

Ders should refuse to furnish it, they would give VI

That LONG, Low, BLACK LOOKING SCHOONER
About two years ago suspicious LOOKING
craft lay off our coast some weeks. No one
was permitted to board her. After her depart.
ure several coored persons were found to be
missing and no tidngs have ever reached us OF
their whereabouts. That same schooner. or one
very much like it, has of late been seen lying
off Rockaway Beach Only last week, fhree
colored women, and two colored men, had it is
said absconded But their we'll known habits,
and other attachment to Jamaica, the place OF
their birth, forbids the belief of such report
They have been forcbly abducted-yes stolen
bv Southern dealers in human flesh, and ere
this have been sold like cattle in the Southern
market.
In the vicinity of the colored Camp Meeting,
last week, two suspicious men were seen, armed
with pistols and bowie knives, who pretended
to be officers from the city. No doubt they
we're hired luffians, under pay from the captain
of the Slave schooner. We have among us, too,
men who are suspected of aiding in this nefari-
Gus business. The darkness of night is the ia
vorite time for these dark-visaged fends in hu
man form to track the footsteps of our ndustri-
Gus and respectable coored population, seize
and secretly convey them on board this suspl-
cious vessel. Can any one explain the agoni-
zlng screams heard in the vicinity of Rockaway
about o'clock, on Sunday morning last!
We urge all of our industrious, respectable
colored people, for their own safety, to keep
within doors after sunset What horrible state
of things !-Jamacia H. ~ Farmer.
