culaed irespectivey of all legal enacmens to the
contrary"
Mr. l.. went on at some length and with great force,
to show the practcability Of distributing the Bible
among slaves He closed by referring to Mr.. Torrey's
death.
The following resolutions, among others, adop-
ted
g. ReSOlUed, That the Bible condemns slavery as it
exists IN this country not only for its intrinsic wrongs
but because it involves the violation Of the domestic
relations, the Withholding of the Bible, and religious
and mental culture, and the refusal of just wages fol
labor.
A. Resolrcd, That the same reasons which make it
the duty Of Christians to separate themselves from
the ballroom, the theatre the wine cup, and other
like practices, call far loudly for our separation
from slavery because of the evils which are uniformly
and invariably found to accompany its existence.
5. ResOIUed That feeling ourselves brothers to the
slaves, and remembering those that are in bonds as
bound with them, will be likely to solve thousand
difficulties, end remove thousand obstacles which
would otherwise hinder our acting efficiently in the
cause of emancipation.
! g. Resoved, That as the South has received from
the North that religious instruction and views, under
which slavery has grown great it the duty of the
North to send to the South such an administration u
the gospel as will carry with it, so far as goes al
ALL the speedy determination of slavery as peaceful
triumph of the gospel
Z. ResolUed, That missionaries who labor in coun
tries where the sin of slavehoding is practced ough
to present the truths of the gospel to convince
the people that it is necessary to their salvation tc
forsake this as other sins of kindred enormity.
8. RESOLVED, That all missionary societies which
send missionaries to slaveholding communities ough
to instruct the missionaries to have fellowship witt
slavery, and to do no act which can be construed al
connivance, ortolorance countenance to slavery.
9. ResOlued, That the slave has a divine and nal
ienable right to the free of the Bible, to enable
him to comply with the command, SEARCH the Scrip
| lures"
10. Resolved, That the denial of the Bible to til,
Slaves is a war on the universal right of private judy
ment in religion, and assumption of Gods preroga
tive of Interpreting the Bible.
-. Resolved, That The American Bible Society, AM
the Bible societies of this country ought TO be urge
by their friends to take immediate measures to furnis
all the slaves with the Bible as the means of thci
emancipation, and that fund should be established
for this purpose, to be called THE Slaves Bible Fund
Is. Resolved, That the responsibility OF so correct
ing the public mind as to ensure the emancipation o
the slaves, rests mainly upon the Christian ministers
of the land, and cannot be thrown off by them, ia
ken from them but must rest hem until that grea
duty is fully discharged in the actual freedom Of the
slaves

Work, Faint Not

There are times when a heaviness comes over
the heart, and we feel as if there were no hope
Who has not felt it! Fu this there is no cure
but work Plunge into it-put all your energies
into moton-rouse up the inner man-act-and
this heaviness shall disappear as mist before the
morning sun,
There arise doubts in the human mind which
sink US into lethargy, wrap us in gloom, and
make us think it were bootess to attempt any
thing. Who has not experienced them! Work.
That is the cure Task your intelect-stir up
your feelings-rouse the soul-do-and these
doubts, hanging like heavy cloud upon the
mountain, will scatter and disappear, and leave
you in sunshine and open day.
There come suspicious of the best men, and
fears about the hottest efforts, and we stand like
one chained. Who has not felt this Work.
Therein is freedom. By night by day, in sea-
son, WORK, and liberty will be yours. Put in
requisition mind and body-war with inertness
snap the chain-link of selishness-stand up
defender of the right-be yOurself-and this
suspicion, and these fears will be lultd, and like
the ocean storm, you will be purified by the con-
test, and able to bear and breast any burden Of
human i'll.
GLADDEN. life with its sunnest features, and
gloss it over with its richest hues, and it becomes
apoor and painted thing if there be in it no Toll
no hearty, hard work. The aborer slghs for
repose Where is it! What is it, Friend,
whoever thou art, know it is to be found alOne
IN work. No good-no greatness--no progress
+. IS gained without it. Work then, and faint not
for therein is the well-sprng of human hope, and
human haPPlness.-Cassius M Clay.

Posterity will do justice to our fallen friend. When
the mists of prejudice and error shall have been
dissipated by the Of truth when respectable
ity and wealth and talent and genius and history shall
no longer cover before a corrupt public sentiment
when unbiased reason shall resume its sway over the
minds of men-when an unclouded Christianity, dis
closing to all eyes the divinity in man, shall shed its
light upon the deeds we commemorate, thes that
better age will not find marble pure enough On which
to inscrlbe the name of TORREY. That name shall
then be written on tablets more enduring than monu-
mental brass and in characters more expressive and
lustrous than FURNISHED godit sh n be engrayen on
tue living heart of a grateful posterity, Our feeble
euloges will be iorgotten-Time's eilacing fingers may
obliterate the inscription on his tomb-ths word-rc-
nownei hall may moudar in ruins, but his heroic acts
his active humanity, his courageous virtue, shall en-
dure.
The occasion does net call for or permit nh extend
ed sketch of the character Of our amented BROTHER
The impressions produced upon orr minds BY the fu-
neral eulogium pronounced over his confined body,

THE FIRE-SEDE.
Lines addressed to a Young Friend,

Go thou in life's fair morning,
Go in the bloom of youth,
And buy, for thine adjoining,
The precious pearl of TRUTH.
Secure this heavenly treasure
And bind it to thy heart,
And let no worldly pleasure
Fer cause it to depart
Go, while the day-star shineth,
Go, while the heart is light
Go, ere thy strength declineth,
While every sense is bright;
Sell all thou hast and buy it
IT'S worth all earthly things,
Rubies, gold and diamonds,
Sceptres, or crowns of kings.
Go, ere the cloud of sorrow
Steal DER the bloom of youth;
Defer not till tomorrow
Go now and buy the Truth.
Go, seek thy great Creator,
Learn early to be wise,
And place upon his altar
Thy morning sacrifice

A weary journey, to the farthest verge
Of the big world to kiss that good mans hand,
Who, in the blaze of wisdom and of art,

Feeling the sense of his own littleness,
Is as child in meek simplicity,
