A Pastoral letter from the Synod of Pitts
burg, Penn, to the churches under its care,
reveals rather bad state of morals among
the brethren. They are either wicked above
all professors, or the Synod is more candid
than other similar organizations, and we are
not certain which. The following are the
items contained in the letter:
That vital godIiness is lanaentably low in
most of their congregations
That the low state of vital godliness'
arises from some great defect in their private
devotions.' ..
from the open neglect Of the Holy Scrip
tures prayers, preaching, ard family altar
from, in peculiar manner, the manifest
want of zeal, activity and selfsacri6ce in the
service of God, on the part of many church
members
from the great sin of conformity TO tie
Vorld,' members going heedlessly with the
popular current in things of doubtful proprie-
ty, and which are clearly sinfiA.'
The churches would probably thank the Sy-
nod to draw the line between the things of
doubtful propriety which are, and those which
are not. clearly sinful 1t winds up the Gaia
logue with the following, which if true, shows
the members to be hard cases generally.

ARSENIC EATERS IN AusTRrA.-A poison
ing case at Chilli has procured the publication
of some interesting facts respecting the arsen-
ic eaters of Lower Austria and Styria. In
both the provinces it appears to be common
custom among the peasantry to consume every
morning small portion of the deadly poison
in the same manner as the eastern world con-
sumes opium. DR.. Tschudl. the well known
traveller, publishes an account Of several cases
which has come to bis knowledge. The habit
does not seem TO be so pernicious in It's results
as that of Opioum eating It is commenced
by taking very small dose, say somewhat less
than half grain, every morning which IS
gradually increased to two or three grains
The case of hale old farmer is mentioned,
whose morning Whet Of arsenic reached the in
credible quantity of four grains The effect
it produces is very curious. The arsenic eat
ers grow fat and ruddy. SO much so that the
practice is adopted BY loyersof both sexes, ia
order to please their sweathearts Il relieves
the lungs and head very much also when
mounting steep hills and entering into q more
rariied atmosphere.

Singular Circumstance.

The Memphis Enquirer reiates the following
curious and interesting occurrence:
"Since the commencement of the term Of
the circuit court of our county, it became nee
essary for Merriweather, brother of the gen
tlemen some time since killed in our county,
to attend as prosecutor of Peterson, the per-
petrator of the horrible crime. II so happen
ed that he rode the horse that his deceased
brother was riding on the day of his murder
by Peterson. He was in the company of
some friends and travelled the same road
The horse is very fine spirited bay, docile
in temper and with an intelligent eye. When
they approached near the scene of the muir
der, the horse manifested evident signs of
alarm and restlessness Observing the sin
guar conduct of the horse, Merriweather de-
termined to give him the rein and watch his
movements.
AS he approached the spot Of the murder,
he elevated his head and tail and appeared to
be watchful and frequently uttered the snort
so peculiar to spirited horses when apprehen-
sive of danger. The noble animal finally sme2t
the ground and traled the course which the
body of his former master had been conveyed
by his murderer. He finally reached the spot
smelt the ground, paved and suorted. He
then took circle in the woods at moderate
trot. raturned to the place where the body
was found, and repeated the same ceremony.
This he did several times in succession. And
when he reined up it was with great reluc-
lance that he was forced to leave the place.
Is this instinct, reason, or what is it %

The following touching incident is related
in private letter from Yarmouth. England,
dated the 9TH ult. writtenby lady, and giv-,
ing an account of the disastrous Fesalis ofthe
last shipwrecks on the east coast:
''Last Friday. dear little babe. supposed
to be about four months old, was picked upin
the roads, off Yarmouth Its long clothes
prevented il from sinking; it was fast asleep
and almost benumbed with cold There was
no trace Of any ship in sight, or any boat for
miles around. and it was supposed that the
vessel from which il had been thrown had
sunk, and that all hands perished. The cap
tain who picked it up lives at Yarmouth, and
intends to rear il as his own"

The following is the funeral oration of Par
S., North Carolina preacher, made over
a hard case named Ram:
"My beloved brethren and sisters; if our
dear departed brother Ram would a-wanted
somebody to come here and tell les about
him, and make him out a better man than he
was, he wouldn't a-chose me to preach his
funeral No, my bretheren, he wanted to be
held up as a burnin' and 'hnin' light to warn
you from the error of your ways. He kept
horses, and he run'd 'em; he kept chickens,
and he fou't EN-; he kept women, and there
sets his widow who can proveit., (The wid,
ow sat directly IN front of the pulpit. and here
gave an affrmatory nod) Our dear depart
ed brother had many warnin's, brethren. The
first wsrnin' was when he broke his leg, but
be still went on in the errors of his ways
The second warnin' was when his son Pete
hung himself in Jail; and the last and great
est warnin' was when he died himself!"

No ExcELLENcE WITHOUT LABoR-The
educution, moral and intellectual, of every in
dividual, must be, chiefly his own work. How
else could it happen, that young men, who
have had precisely the same opportunities
should be continually presenting us with such
different results, and rushing to such opposite
destinies? Difference of talent will not solve
it, because that difference is very often in fa-
vor of the disappointed candidate.
You shall see issuing from the walls of the
same college-nay. sometimes from the bosom
of the same family, two young men of whom
the one shall be admitted to be genius Of
high order, the other scarcely above the point
of mediocrity; yet you shall see the genius
sinking and perishing in poverty, obscurisy
and wretchedness; while on the other hand
you shall observe the mediocre plodding his
slow but sure way up the hill Of life. gaining
steadfast footing at every step, and mounting
at length, to eminence and distinction, an
ornament to his family, blessing to his coun.
try.
Now, whose work is this? Manifestly theil
own. Men are the architects of their respec
tive fortunes. 1t is the fat of fate from which
no power Of genius can absolve you. Genius
unexerted, is like the poor moth that fiutter:
around candle, tilI it scorches itself 70 death
If genius be desirable at all, it is only of thai
great and magnanimous kind which, like the
condor of S. America, pitches from the sum
NIT Of Chimborazo above the clouds, and sns
tains ITSELF at pleasure, in that empyreal region
with an energy rather invigorated than weak
ened by the effort.
1t is this capacity for high and long contin
ued exertion-this vigorous power of pro
found and searching inYestigation-this ca
reering and wide spreading comprehension o
mind-and those long reaches of thought
that
Pluck bright honor from the palefaced moor
Or dive into the bottom of the deep,
Where fathom line could never touch thu

And drag up drowned honor by the locks

achievements, which are to enroll your name
among the great men of the earth.-[Wir

VULGAR1Y-We would guard the young
against the use of every word that is not per-
fectly proper, Uuse no profane expressions
alluGe to no. sentence that would put the blush
to the most sensitive. You know not the ten
dency of habituaily using indecent and pro-
fame language. It may never be obliterated
from your hearts. When you grow up you
will find al your tongues end some expression
which you would not use for any money. 1t
was one you learned when you was quite
young. By being CAREFUL you will save your
self great deal of modification and sorrow.
Good men have been taken sick and become
delirious. In these moments they have used
the most vile and indecent language immagin-
able When informed Of it, after a restora-
ton to health, they had no idea of the pain
they had given their friends, and stated that
they had learned and repeated these express
sions in childhood, and though years had pas
sed since they had spoken bad word, the
early impressions had been indelibly stamped
upon the heart. Think of this ye who are
tempted to use improper language, and never
disgrace yourselves. London Lit. Gaz.
