Bishop Doane, of New Jersey, in his ad

Mary's Hall, Burlington, after alluding to
the value ofin;ellectual accomplishments in
women, observed
"The highest human graces that u wo.
man ever won have but ensnared her soul
IN vanity and sin, and wrought destruction,
through their attractions, for the souls Of
others. And intellectual powers and intel.
ligent gifts, no; subordinated to the provi-
dental urderings of God, not chastened and
controlled by His renewing grace, are, at
this time, unse1ng women, and thrusting

A KsorrY TExr.-There was once an
iiinerant preacher in West Tennessee who
possessing considerable natural eloquence,
had gradually become possessed with the
idea that he was also an extraordinary
Biblical scholar. Under this delusion he
would very frequently, at the close Of his
sermon, ask any Of his congregation who
might have "knotty text" to unravel to
speak it, and he would explain it at once,
however much it might have troubled
"less distinguished dvines." On this oc-
casion, in large audience, he was particu-
larly pressing for some one to PROFOUND a
text, but no one presuming to do so, he was
about to sit down without an opportunity Of
showing his learning, when chap by the
door announced that he had Bible matter
OF "great concern" The preacher quite
animateely professed hisSwilingness and
ability, and the congregation was in great
excitement "What want to know" said
the outsider, "is, whether Jobs turkey was
a hen or gobler 2" The expoundcr look
ed confused, and the congregation Uttered,
as the questioner capped the climax by ex-
Ginning 81 fotch him down on the first
question !" From that time forward the
practice Of asking for "difiicul, passages
was avoided.

81 When the nominations for Justices OF
the Peace for Providence were made, Mr..
Hunt, of Cranston, moved that the name OF
Samuel Currey be stricken from the list, as
he came to the Assembly pledged to vote
for none but American born citizens, and
he understood that Mr.: Currey was native
Of Nova Scotia. Mr.. Jtnckes said that
Mr.. e. had resided here great many
wears, and il he was born no further off
than Noya Scotia, he thought he would ans
wer, as they intended to annex all these
neighboring Provinces soon. Mr.. Smith
asked IL Nova Scotia was not in North
America? Mf. Hunt persisted in his mo-
ton, and the august and magnificent
Grand Committee struck off the name Of
Mr.. Currey from the list. Three cheers
for Mr. Hunt, the glorious triumph Of the
principles of Know Nothingism, and the
immaculate Ned Buntline ! The Grand
Com. tee have settled the question that
Squire Currey is a fTrener.
Mr.. Currey was formerly member o.
the House from the city of Providence,and
discharged his duties with great ability and
fidelity y,-but ulas, Sam must have vic
tim, and the blood of poor Currey was shed
upon the altar of pure and unadulterated
Americanism

AN AFFECTING IScIDsNT.--A seaman Of
the fleet before Sevastopo, whose family
lives at Poperro, in this country, was or
dered on shore for the purpose of assisting
in burying the slain who fell in late attack
of the Ru ssians on tho British batteries !;
and almost the first person he met with on
landing, was one Of his brothers, OF Whose
presence in the feet he was not before in
formed and who had been severely wound
ed in the late engagement. From him ho
learned that his two other brothers were all
serving in the naval brigade on shore; and
with him he remained till he saw him ex-
pirc. lie then proceeded on the duty for
which he had landed, and soon discovered
the bodies of his other brothers, who had
been killed in battle. His feelings may be
imagined, as he assisted in laying these
three brothers of his own, side by side, in

INCIDENT IN A PAsToR's LIFE.-At cer-


tain time a pastor residing in- re-
cieyed from one Of his parishiopers an
anonymous letter complaining in bitter
terms of a hireling clergy, of his want Of
means, and other things usually attending
the spirit in which he indulged. The pas
tor suspecting from whom it came, did not
roply with pen and ink, neither in word
and tongue, but in deed and in truth. He
went Immediately TO grocer, and request
ed him TO send 10 a certain house, on CIV
en- street, barrel Of flour, ham, and cer-
tain other things. The next morning,
member of the pastors church called at his
dwelling house and inquired OF his wife for
her husband. lie, not being at home, the
parishioner gave vent TO his feelings, and
said to her, "my minister has heaped Goals
of fire upon my head" How? enqured
the wife,-"that letter." said he-Did you
write it 2 Eyes did, he said but did not
expect such reply" The wife being ig-
norant of what her husband had done, had
to be informed of all that had transpired.--
AS it was anticipated, nothing more was
heard from tie disconnected member, nor
about the hireling clergy from him. Some
year and half afterwards, that same pas
tor received at his door from drayman, a
barrel of -four, &c. 1t was some time be-
fore he could ascertain the source whence
they came. But at length, having learned
that they came from that same member
who had sent him the anonymous letter,and
knowing him to be, as he thought, unable
to make him so valuable present and not
thinking at the time Of the scene of the pre-
vious year, he thanked him very kindly for
his generous deed, but inimated to him
that he preferred in some way to remuner'
ate him to which he instantly with tears
replied, God has blessed me. Do you re-
member the -four ;"and he stopped. II is
enough to add, neither did the pastor forget
hi exi ressi Of this dese;v ng member, but
at another time, and in manner as delicate,
gave him proof that his act had been thank.
fully cherished ; nor the parishioner there.
after inveigh against hireling clergy, but
became warm and jealous supporter of
regular and judicious ministry ofthe Word.
