ANOTHER LINK BRoKEN.-Thc correspondence
which has heretofore existed, by an interchange
cf Delegates between the General Association
of Massachusetts (Congregationa) and the Old
School General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church, has been broken off, in consequence of
the interference of the former body with the
latter, on the subject of slavery. The assembly
after passing resolution to the effect that such
interference was offensive, and if continued,
must lead to an interruption Of the corrcspon-
dence between the two bodies, appointed Rev.
| Dr. Baker of Texas az their Delegate to the AS
socation, but he declined, and the subjec was
then laid upon the table. The Association at
their meeting since held passcda resolution de-
sirous to continue the correspondence, yet being
in doubt whether the General Assembly, by
their recent action, did not intend to discourage
such continuance, they would omit appointing
n delegate until the views Of the Assembly
should be more distinctly developed. The Pres
bytcrian, the organ of the General Assembly,
after giving sketch of the proceedings of the
Association, speaks Of the suspension of the cor
rcspondence as settled fact" and expresses n
belief that it d" will never be renewed unless the
N Association rctract" It is not ut all probable
that the Association will retract. They are not
in a mood for so doing. We may therefore
consider the correspondence rs broken off; Il re-
suit more to be regretted in Il political than in
an ecclesiastical point Of view. The Methodist
and Baptist churches have already been sundered
by this question Of slavery; the Presbyterian
church was divided partly on this ground, and
now occurs n new rupture of relations from the
same cause Every such incident is the break
ing of strand in the cable which binds North
and South in unity. When certain number of
strands shall be broken, the rest will give way
as matter of course, unless sor of the broken
ones shall in the meantime be restored, or others
substituted in their place. The political strands
are apparently rs much scattered as the ecclesi-
astical. II is time for men who love the Union,
to rally in its defence-N. Y. Journal Of Conn

A SAD PIcruRE OF Cry LrrE-On Wednes-

SAD PICTURE OF Cry LTFE.-On Wednes-
day, accompanied by officer Ripley we paid
visit to house No. 10 Washington square, on
Fort Hill. The building like most of those
around the square, was evidently built for a
genteel family. It is three stories high, and oc-
eupied 10y families from cellar to garret. When
we passed into the front entry, we had to make
our way through swarm Of little children, who
blockaded the door. Nine different families oc-
cupy the house. Belonging to that number are
about thirty children. The entire number of
occupants is about fifty persons.
At the request of the officer, We went up into
the back attic with hm-a little room with one
window in il. II contained IL table and few
chairs and one or two other pieces Of furniture.
In the farther corner, set an emaciatcd looking
female, with an intelligent countenancc, watch
ing with n mothers care dying boy, three years
of age, who was lying quietly upon little tenn
porary mat upon chairs. This one, back, dark,
lonesome garret is all the room the woman oc-
cupies. She has seen better days, and is not
used to this mode of living. She is an English
lady. Her husband left her some time since
with n little means, and went to California
That little was, not long since, stolen from her,
Besides the sick child, she has Il little boy ten
years of age. Tuesday night he went to his
little straw cot without any supper. For week

nacessaries of life. During this time Mr. Ripley,
the officer on that station, was absent. On his
return, Immediately on learning the condition Of
the family, he rendered them assistance from his
own pocket
But this is not all. One week ago last night
she lost beautiful little boy, younger than the
one now sick, by death. 1t was in the dead Of
night that the dcath-angel visited that poverty
stricken room. The mother had no light or
means to obtain any. In that dark room she
remained with her dead boy, until the morning
light permitted her to gaze upon his litelcss fea-
lures Where was she to look for assistance in
this most trying hour! Finding no one to assist
her, she took the remnant of once beautiful
wardrobc--a drcss-and sold it and obtained the
sum of So rs, with which she procured cof-
fin for her dead child, and with her own hands
she dressed him in his grave clothes, and placed
him in the coffin. During this time this unfor-
tunate woman was taking care of another sick
child, who, it is now said, cannot live. The
poor woman expects soon to hear from Ecr hus-
band. Until then she is an object of charit> for
our Female Benevolent Societies. We would
recommend her to the kind care of the Winter
Aid Society, and other similar institutions, who
we are sure will tender to the sufferer the kind
offices Of charity. Sentinel.

wishes of every friend of civilization, especially OF
