TIE PILGLlM'S SABBATH.

The Rev. Mr.. Barnes, in his eloquent
discourse on the value Of the Sabbath to
young men," published in the June number
Of the National Preacher, records striking
illustration of the power of religious prime
ciple in regard to the Sabbath. e"
As an illustration Of the power of relig-
ious principles in controlling men, and at the
same time 10 show how deeply the love OF
the institution which advocate was inn
bedded In the hearts Of the fathers of this
republic, | may refer to one of the earliest,
incidents in our history. The "Nayfow-.
era name now immortal-had crossed
the ocean. 1t had borne its hundred passen-
gers over the vast deep, and after peril
Gus voyage, had reached the bleak shores of
New-England in the beginning Of winter.
The spot which was to furnish home was
now to be selected. The shallop was I'M
shipped, and after sixteen weary days in re.
pairing it, during which the vessel was at
anchor, was sent out amidst ice and snow
with some half dozen pilgrims, 10 find
suitable place to land. The spray of the
sea, says the historian, froze on them, and
made their clothes like coats of iron. Five
days they wandered about, searching in vain
for suitable landing place. A storm came
on, and the snow and the rain fell, the sea
swelled, the ruddei broke, the mast and the
sail fell overheard. In this storm and cold,
without tent, house, or the shelter OF q
rock, the Christian Sabbath, approached
the day which they regarded as. holy unto
Coda day on which they were not ia" do

evening before the Sabbath drew on, they
pushed over the surf, entered fair sound,

of land, kindled fire, and on that little is
land they spent the day in the solemn wor-
ship of their maker. On the next day their
leet touched the rock now sacred as the place

DEATH OF MR.. FOX,

We learn from Washington that Hon.
Henry Stephen Fox, for some years resident
Minister Of the British Government at our
national capital, died in that city on Tues
day of last week. The Union supplies the
following brief obituary notice of the decea-
Sed:-
The Hon. Henry Stephen Fox was born
in 1871 and was the son of General Hen
ry Edward Fox, fourth son of Henry Fox the
first Lord Holland. He was thus the neph-
ew of the celebrated Charles James Fox,
and cousin of the amiable and enlightened
Lord Holland. We may add, moreover,
that through one of his female ancestors, he
inherits the blood of merry King Charles II
and consequently of Henry ".
In his younger days, Mr. Fox was well
known in the beau monde of London, as one
of cotere of elegant, gay and witty gentle
tlemen of high birth, among whom Lord
Byron, Lord Kinnaird, and others more or
less celebrated in their time. whose deeds
and sayings are recorded by Moore in his life
of Byron.
After the general peace in 1915, he visited
'h> UhN' ~ wv IOuS9
Rome he contracted the malaria fever, which
brought him to the verge of the grave, and
produced an eject most deleterious upon his
constitution. lie then entered the diplo
matte career, in which his advance was
rapid, in consequence of his talents, as well
as through the influence of his noble and po-
litical connections. He was the first minis.
ter plenipotentiary of Great Britain to Blu
enos Ayers, from which he was transferred
in the same capacity to Rio de Janeiro and
this Government in 1886. OF the talent
displayed in his correspondence on many
delicate and difficult questions of interna
lional law; Of his uniform courtesy; of The
amenity of his manners in society, it is un
necessary for US to speak. They are all at
tested by those who have been placed in a
situation to observe him.

News from G. n. Clay.

The Lexington Observer of l4th, says,
A most painful rumos prevailed in our
ci,v on Sunday last. Letters were rest.iv-
cd from some of the volunteers in Col.
Marshall's regiment the night before,
stating that Capt. c. M. Clay had left the
camp in company with man by the name
of Kendall, for The purpose OF taking a
buffalo hunt in the " Camancho range"
and that he had not been heard of for II
DAYS. The inference was that they must
have been killed by the Indians, and to
strengthen that inference, it was stated
that the dead bodies of two men answer
ing TO the description Of Clay and Ken
dali had been found. The apprehensions
of Mr.. Ciay's relatives and friends, how
ever, were relieved during the day by an
other letter received by the same mail +.
from one Of the volunteers to his father
in which he stated in II postscript to his
letter thu, Capt. Clay had just arrived in

Gen. Wool at San Antonio to Col Marsh

CHURCH ARCHITECTURE.

The following remarks on church arch.
ilecture we extract from discourse on this
subject by Rev. Ray Palmer, of Bath in
Maine. Here are some humorous hits at
the edifcial style Of our Puritan Fathers,
which are not out Of place, but are worth
consideration. ....
1t becomes then very important ques-
ton, What style Of architecture is best
adapted to church edticeS? it is a ques-
ton which has of late been coming good
deal into discussion, and in respect to which
very different views been expressed. Some
have declared preference for the Greek
and Roman forms, and those derived imme-
diately frona them. Others have commended
that entirely new orders ought 10 he invent
ed which should have more special adap-
ton to the present circumstances of society.
The greatest number Of church edifces
have in fact been built in sublime contempt
of every established order, and with the
most courageous awkwardneSs and jncon.
venience. Our Puritan fathers were no.
bic men. They constructed the wiseSt the
most liberal, and at the same time the most
efficient Church Policy, which the world
has seen since the first days of the Chris
tian era; but in mechanical matters they
were not quite so eminent. There was a
vast dealot moral symmetry, of Iiving beau
ty in their characters; but not so much ar
tifcial beauty and proportion in their sane
tuarieS. They have been accused Of lower
ing the dignity Of the ministry, because
they would have no bishops; but it is a
standing proof of their innocence of any
such design, that they uniformly exalted the
clcrgyin their churches as high as the CELL
ing would we'll permit. They held pure
and manly faith; hut they still retained the
close, crampng. barrel modelled pulpit, as
the most unmanly and ill-suited Of all pla'
ces in which TO have their faith illustrated
and defended. They were SO warm. hearted
that they esteemed the use of stove or fur.
mace in the house of God an efeminate de-
vice; and sat patiently, without either
while their able pastors delivered their dis
courses Of two hours in length or more
That they did not allow themselves to sleep
in the mids, of public worship, is clear from
the fact that their seats were SO uncomfor.
tably constructed as 10 render it impossible.
1t is therefore, with due reverence for our
fathers, as we trust, that we OF The present
generation. are disposed to look for style
o. architecture for orr churches, materially
different from that which has heretofore
pretty generally prevailed.
