DEsrIsE NOT The DAY OF SMALL TurNGs.
"A single act of disobedience involved
the world in universal sin. A single
deception practised on the old man whose
eyes were dim, changed the inc of
blessing through countless generations.
The selling of the shepherd-boy saved
people from famine, and placed his
famine, among the mighty in the land.
Paul was brought before Caesar to make
his defence, and thus the gospel was
preached in theimperial. Luther, through
suffering and poverty, entered the Uni
versity to study law, but found in its
literary a Bible, and cleaned from its
pages the thought of that glorious Re-
formation. Franklin with kite drew
the lightning from the clouds Morse
bound It's wings, and made it a messenger
to do his bidding. A piece of cork at
tachcd to loadstone suggested the
idea of a mariners compass, the pilot of
thousands and tens of thousands over the
trackless deep. Lorentius, of Harlem,
cutting rude letters Oh the bark of a
tree, gave rise to the press, whose infn-
ence is more powerful than armies.
But we need not multiply facts. The
proudest form, the gayest step, the strong
est arm, were once a feeble childs. The
most profound learning commenced with
A, b, c. The loftiest intellect once strove
to understand the simplest laws in ma
ture. Despiso not then thy felIow-man,
for in every soul that wears the image of
its Maker, there is hidden germ of
power that may WELD the destinies of
nations. Rejoice then, Christiansi with
the first CLEAN of good and truth; for it
breaks from the Sun Of Righteousness,
whose noontide glory shall wrap the earth
in its baZe-Americdn Messenoer.

A SISTERS LovE.-Thcre is no purer
feeling kindlcd upon the altar of human
affections, than sisters pure, unconta-
minated love for her brother. 1t is unlike
all other affection: so disconnected with
selfish scnsuality; so feminine in its deye-
lopment; so dignifed, and yet, withal so
fond, so devoted. Nothing can altar it;
nothing can suppress it. The world may
revolve, and its revolutions effect changes
in the fortunes, in the character, and in
the disposition Of her brother; vet if he
wants, whose hand will so readily stretch
out as that of his sister; and if his charac-
ter Is maligned, whose voice will so readi-
ly swell in his advocacy. Next to a moth
ers unqucnchable love sisters is pre-
eminent. 1t rests so exclusively on the tie
of consanguinity for its sustenance; it is SO
wholly Invested of passion, and springs
from such deep recess in the human boz
som that when sister once fondly and
deeply regards her brother, that affection
is blended with her existence, and the
lamp that nourishes it expires only with
that existence.

SINGULAR AccIDENr.--A passenger in
one Of the New York omnibusses, day
or two since, in order to have no delay in
settling his fare, put TIE sixpence intended
for that purpose, into his mouth. The
coin unfortunately slipped in the windpipe,
where it lodged, causing immediate loss
of voice and danger Of suffocation. After
much suffering on the part Of the patient,
It was extracted by cutting into the wind.

whom were aboltionists, as follows:
"Tbe nsn-srao sr0uld disSolrs the U9ioa ab-

PLORE SLAVERY MORE THAN lido.
If the constitution provided the return of fu-
gitve slaves it should be done, and our faith

him while in the United States Senate See

says:

And it is such man, holding opinions so
obnoxious and abhorrent, that party leaders
are endeavoring to palm off on the South as
a friend of southern ms itutions. General
Scott, forsouth, is denounced as unsound, be-
cause he said that he was no aboiitonist
or advocate of slavery" General Pierce on
the other hand, says that he ''hacs and depl0-

soilers in the land, and he is forthwith cried
up by these same men as model Of sound
ness on this vital question. Was there ever
such glaring and dangerous Inconsistency.
