and precipices render it almost inacessi.
BILE to any large forces. Here they were
first attacked by th, troops of the Gov.
eminent, who were repulsed, as were al
other forces they met in skirmish.
Up to this time, the Court Journal
styled the rising that of few mountain
robbers, but when the edict Of outlawry.
pronounced against them By the Vieercy
Ling, was met by bold proclamation n
the part OF fai-ping.wang, of his righ; 10
the imperial throne. the Journal has stu.
diously avoided oil mention of the con.
fict.
From the time the forces of Ling were
defeated, success has attended the arms
of the patriots; wherever they have met
the imperia!ists they have conquered
them. When their forces were raised 10
900 men, led by five chiefs, well dis
ciplined and ofgarized, and supported
by qsite Navy, marched straight hr
Canton and took it, and then carried
Nankin by assault: then they returned
and secured the country through which
they had marched. As yet, Pekin is ur-
touched. and the Emperor is safe, but be
is despoiled of the best part of his pos.
sessions.
One great element Of their success is
the corps of preachers in their service,
whose duty it is to excite the people to
a crusade against idolatry and the M.nt-
chOux, by rshearsing to them the wrongs
they suffer from them. and setting before
them the glory that awaits the liberators
Of the country. Thus multitudes of re-
ligious and political enthusiasts join the
army.
Tai-ping-wang is man of great sa-
gacity and cunning. He knows the
points by which he can best secure and
hold the affections Of the people, and he |
avails himself of it. The idea used by |
the subtle Louis Napoleon, when he As
sumed the grey overcoat and cooked hat |
of his illustrious uncle, is carried OFT
much more fully by this pretender. Fl,
has so costumed his army, assumed such
ceremonials, and SO regulated his staff. |
that the men Of letters say it is an exact
copy Of the appearance Of the Court OF !
the last King Emperor. The people are
thus reminded of their departed power,
and more easily excited to attempt to re-
gain it.
Mr.. W. concluded by reviewing the
probable success Of the revolution and
the benefits which would accrue to the
world should it triumph. He thought |
the late edict against foreign devils"
would not have been issued had not the
English and Americans in that country
laid themselves liable to the suspicion of |
favoring the imperial cause. The liber-
al principle which started with this
movement will not be entirely lost-bu,
will act like leaven, till they are felt from
one end Of the nation to the other. The |
country will be aroused from its apathy,
and innovations meet with a more favo-
rable reception than ever before.

TIE FAITHFUL PASTOR.

He must preach the Gospel in family circle. or
many families will never hear il.
1t is q great mistake (says a writer in
the Vermont Chronicle) that a good pas
tor will not be likely to be an able
preacher. True, his sermons may not
be learned essays, as is true of much
that is called liable preaching" but if
judged by the gospel standard of able
preaching they will be SO. This accounts
for their signal success. God blesses
such men.
a faithful pastor has a power over his
people that can Fever be gained by preach
ing only, no matter how able it may be.
He is known in every family and beloved.
The poor, the sick, the children of cor.
row, the widow and fatherless know his
tread and voice. Both are music to
hearts that know little of cheer besides.
He knows the name of every boy and
girl in the range CT hia labors. If there
IS an anxious sinner, he finds it out, and
finds many he would never have known,
if he had not gone to them. Those who
cannot 60 to church, he comforts, and
attends the aged down 10 their graves.
Many that otherwise would never have
entered his fine meeting bouse, or have
regarded the minister as too proud to
come and see them in their humble cot.

dices removed, and become his warmest
friends. and are brought to Christ. But
for that visit he might have preached oil
the able sermons he could have written.
and they would have been none the bet
ter for them. - ...-..
The fact is, the gospel must be carried,
in the living voice of minister. to many
a house, or the families will never have
lit. Multitudes in all our towns will
never be reached by the pulpit. In
sight of our church, they will no more
come to the gospel than the heathen na-
tions will, and will as certainly perish il
the cup Of salvation is not carried to
them. Even then, many Of both will
dash it from them, but not all.
A man who is now worthy member
Of the Congregational church of -

house. Ihad no idea that wretch like
me could ever become q Christian, for
years ago I had abandoned myself to
despair, and was going, with all my
family, to hell, and knew it. My home
was . hell every day. But when you
encouraged me, that so vile man as I
might come to Christ, felt resolution
moving in my breast TO try. For three
