A DISCOURSE ON ST. PAUL'S EPISTLE
TO PHILEMON:

| TO PHILEMON;
Exhibiting the duties Of citizens Of the
| Nor,h,hern States in regard to the insti-
tuition of Slavery. Delivered in Christ
Church, Hartford, Conn Dec. %, 1850 +;
by N. S. WHEATON, D. D.
The scope and spirit of this Discourse,
and it is one which does credit to its learn
ed author, may be gathered from the follow
ing extract:
! "PhIlemon was citizen Of Colosse in
Asia Minor, and evidently man of wealth
and consideration in his own city. But that,
of which j. principally concerns us now to
speak, is the esteem in which he was held
by such man as ST. Paul. He had been
converted by that apostle to the Christian
faith he is commended for his slove and
faith towards the Lord Jesus, and towards
all saints > ST. Paul calls him sour dearly
beloved, and felIow-laborer,' whom he sal
ways mentioned in his prayers,' and in
whose 'love he had great Joy and consola-
tion,' because, says he, :lhe bowels of the
saints are refreshed by thee, bro,her.' We
may look in vain though all the Epislles for
simular instance of tender friendship and
|
walks of life. Many such are indeed men,
toned with distinguished honor; but no
one Of them has been handed down to US so
richly embalmed-so consecraled by The
dear affection of 'lhe chief Apos,les,' as
Phile mon of Colosse.
| s'Philemon was stakeholder.
zone of his slaves, Onesimus, escaped
from his bonds, and found his way to Rome
where ST. Paul then was an honorable pris-
oner within limits, but allowed to exercise
the ministry. There, Onesimus hears the
Apostle preach, and is converted to the faith
of Christ. He seeks an interview with the
| Apostle, whom he had probably known al
the house of his master in former days
confesses to him that he is fugitive, and
solicits his counsel.
ga case is now presented, in which all
the circumstances concur to bring to de-
| cision, and before a competent tribunal the
rights and duties Of all concerned This
decision we have in the letter Of ST. Paul
10 Philemon.
"sl beseach thee for my son Onesimus,
whom | have begoten in my bonds !; which
in time past was to thee Improbable; bu,
now profitable to thee and to me: achom /
hare sent again Thou therefore receive
him, that is mine own bowels Whom
would have retained with me that, in thy
stead, might have ministered unto me in the
bonds Of The gospel. Blu, arithout thy mind
would do no,hng.'
"The essential facts broue ht to our notice
in this epis,le, SO far as they concern our
present purpose, are these:
"One of The best and most exemplary oI
Christian men, and the bosom friend Of an
Apostle, is a slave holder:
"The slave escapes from his master, and
finds his way to far distant city, where he
is safe from all pursuit
"lIe is the met by an Apostle, and by
| him converted to Christianity the
wrong he has done his master, and sent back
TO him, with letter Of commentator and
friendly enlrealy, which has ever been con-
sidered master piece in its kind"

JOCUND OLD AGE.

That is-a jovial one;

A worshipper of fun.
But when an old man wishes,

That age is on his brow,
Yet, different are his feelings,
He's young in spirit now.

An Irish Letter.

4 correspondent into whose hands the
following letter had fallen, sends it to us
as something too good to belost:
IRELAND, Kilkenny, 1850.
DEAR JIMMY:-I have not wrote you
before my last since now, because as we
moved our place of living, did not know
where the letter would find you; but !
now with pleasure take my pen in hand
to inform you of the melancholy death
of your own living uncle Fitzpatrick, who
died very suddenly last week, after a lin
gering illness of five months. The man
was in violent commissions the whole time.
of his sickness laying perfectly quiet and
-spachless, all the Mhiletallkiii incohe-
rently and calling for water.
Ihad no opportunity of informing you
of his death sooner, except had written
you by the last post, which went off just
two days before his death, and then you
would have had the postage to pay.
am at loss to tell you what his death
was occasioned by, but fear it was by
his last sickness, for he never was well
ten days together, duing the whole time
of his confinement, and / fear his sick
ness was occasioned by eating too much
rabbits stuffed with peas and gravy, or
peas and gravy stuffed with rabbits, I can
not now tell which, but be that as it will,
as soon as he breathed his last, the Doc
tor gave up all hopes Of recovery.
need not tell you anything about his
age, for you well know that in December
next he would have been just six months
dead.
His property now devolves to his next
of kin, who all died some time ago; so
that expect it will be divided between
us, and you know his property was con-
siderable, for he had fine estate, which
was sold to pay his debts, and the remain
der he lost in horse race, but it was the
opinion of every one, at the time, that he
would have won the race, if the horse
he run against had not been too fast for
him.
Inever saw a man, and the Doctors all
saw so, that observed directions and took
medicine better than he did; he said he
had as lief drink cruel as wine, if it only
had the same taste, and would as soon
take tarter emetic as eat bcef-steak if it
only had the same relish. But, poor soul,
he will never drink more, and younot have
living relation in the world, except my
self and your two cousins, who were
killed in the last war.
can't dwell on this mournful subject,
and shall sale my letter with the black
sale wax, and put your unclc's coat o
arms, so beg you not to break the sale
when you open the letter, and don't open
it-until three of four days after you receive
it, by which time you will be prepared for
the sorrowful tidings. When you come
to this place, stop, and don't read any
more till my next.
From your afectionate aunt,
BIDDY kILpATRICK.
To James McStraffie.
P. s.-Don't write again until you re-
ceive this.
