FALL has again come How rapidly did the
Summer pass away 1t is gone, never to return.
How did we improve the time as it passed.
Shall we delight to meet the account of it at the
last great day?
Fall is peculiarly the season of reflection. No
one can well refrain from taking review of his
past life at this season of the year. No wise per-
son will let this time pass without serious re-
view of days gone by, and the formation of a re-
solution to make a wise improvement in future.
Everything around invites US to sit down and re-
fleet. We are daily reminded of death. We
look forth upon, as it were, the death-bed of ma
ture. Vegetation withers and dies. The leaves
of the Forest begin to turn yellow and fall to the
ground. We 90 into the wood, and as the wind
begins to move among the trees, and their
branches wave, we seem to hear the signs of eX-
piring nature. love to go out into the forest at
this season for contemplation. 1t gives me a
feeling that | cannot describe | feel sad and
yet it is sweet to be there. ] am carried back in
my thoughts to the days of my childhood.

my youth, and feel sad. | once was an innocent
prattling child. But how many wicked things
have since learned and done. o that | had
known what to have summed and what to have

and repentance | might have saved. | think
Of that sister that loved me and took care
ofmc, but was called from ME by death. She
loved God. She loved to pray to Him, and he
took her to himself o who has not lost some

mourning. But there is balm in Gilead, have
felt its healing influence. | must do all | can to
lead others to the true source of comfort. These
scenes and these CONCENTRATIONS inspire me with
determination to do more for the good Of 9TH
ers. feel a sympathy with all mankind The
poor slave is not forgotten at such seasons O
what dark and dismal winter awaits him in his
chains He can look back to no pleasant child
hood days, and be cheered as am. He can re-
member only stripes tolls and chains. He has
no bright prospects before him. The light Of
life is by law withheld from, and he has not been
kindly pointed to Him who has died for him
and would desire to take him home to rest. c
what monstrous thing is slavery
Reader, don't neglect to improve this season
for contemplation. And be sure that all youl
meditations are such as to lead you to feel ;
deep sympathy with suffering humanity, and es
pecally to feel for your poor down trodden de.
spsed and heathenlzed slave brother Sucl

ing, because am not without conflict The thought
OF leaving our young but gr0tUing church, OF being
laid aside in the midst of my years, to act more in
my Masters Vineyard, touches me to the very quick,
yet know my Master do his work without the aid
Of such feeble worm as am. Yes, he can and will
carry forward the glorious work Of Salvation, whoever
of his ministers may die. My confidence brethren, in
the truthfuness OF principles, and proprety of our
organization remains undimnshed. This | am hap
Ply to proclaim even with my dying breath Let all
our ministers and people keep the unity of the spirit
in the bond Of perfectness, and there s nothing to
fear.
As it regards my personal experience, the past few
years have been years of cares and abors abundant
More leisure would have given more time for religious
devotion, but thank God, believe he has been with
me. believe he has directed and superintendent the
great events connected with my history.
Finally, ! feel BRETHREN that am nearing the IIar-
bor and have no wish that the hours should be
slow. think am ready and willing to be offered
am not full Of joy, but have strong confidence in
God. Here stand and the floods shall not overflow
me.
My views of the Christian Religion remain unchang-
ed. The same is true IN regard to the Anti-savery
and Wesleyan movements. You have, dear brethren,
my dying testimony in regard to the holiness of the
cause we have espoused. mean the abolition Of sa-
very and Church reform. Such is my extreme weak
ness, that have only been able few moments at g
time to dictate this epstle while another wrote.
Your affectlonate brother in the Lord.

According to his request before his death, he
was carried to Springfield and laid by the side
of his former companion and two children.
Rev. L. G. Matlack preached on the occasion
and his body was bourne to its final resting place
by six ministers; two members Of the Wesleyan
connection, and four members of the NJ. E. Oh

Say, who my memory shall Keep
When am gone,
When in the silent grave sleep,
Peaceful, alone?
Will any weep beside my bier
When am borne
Among all those who know me here,
Will any mourn?
And when the sod upon my breast
Lies heavy, cold
Shall thoughts of virtue be represd,
My folIies told
And when the verdure Ger my head
Luxuriant grows,
Shall he rejoice who here hath said
We here were foes?

Let no one weep,
Let virtuous deeds ignoby rot,

Fulfilled my task,

Much is being done at the present day to ex-

over the earth thousands and hundreds of thou
sands of dollars are being expended every year,
to teach the ignorant and degraded, in almost all
the far distant regions of the earth. Whilst a
people who have been driven from kindred, home,

of OUR LAWS, and sought refuge in wilderness
bordering on our own country,are comparatively
neglected. Can Christian Abolitonsts do less
than impart some of their substance to assist in
educating those simple degraded and suffering
