SABBATH READING.
From the N. Y. Observer
Did Jefferson Die an In6del!

Your last issue calls attention TO the fact
tha. the Congress Of '54, distributed three
hundred copies of the work Of Thomas Jcfler.
son among several colleges and other literary
institutions; and that these works contain
infdel sentiments. 1t is much to be regret
ted that the author OF the Declaration OF In
dependence should have ever entertained or
published "infdel sentiments" We cannot
deny Il fact. He so identified himself with
in6delity, while he held exalted positions
and his expressed opinions to the world were
such as to leave no doubt of he fact--that
the Patriot, Schola:, and Statesman, was at
one little circumstance in the history oil
jefferson which do not think is generally
known. II is this:-In his old age, when he
had retired TO the quiet scenes OF Monticello,
he visited one Sabbath, country church; il
happened to be communion day, and when
the invitation was given to the commandments
to come forward and partake ofthe sacred
emblems, this man, who had given the in.
fueuce OF his high name towards extingush-
ing the light of Christianity, and obIitera.ing
the hope of the world; this man came humbly
forward, and meekly kneeling ct the altar,
received those precious remembrances of the
death OF Christ, which afford SO much comfort
to believers. 1t is somcthirg e wrested from
the powers OF darkness to know what a man
OF Jefferson's mind and firmness OF character,
should respond TO an invitation like the fol-
lowing:
aye that do truly and earnestly repent oil
your sins, and are in love and charity with
your neighbours, and intend to lead new
iiie, following the commandments of God
and walkg from henceforth in his holy ways
drawn near with Jaith, and take this holy
sacrament to your comfort; and make you,
humble confession to Almighty God, meekly
kneoling upon your knees"
! have this fuct from a minister of the NJ
Z. Church, now over three-score years o
age, who was born, raised, and spent Il
greater portion of his life in Virginia. II m.
recollection OF our interview is correct, h.
received the account from the servant O
Christ who administered the sacrament.
Some Of Jeilerson's old manuscripts wer,
published, believe, after his decease, by al
infdel relative. Is there not some reason t
believe that he would have retiacted then
publicly, had he lived little longer!

The cod Chief" and the Organ.

| A friend has kindly furnished US with an nu-
thentic account OF an incident which occurred
during the late session Of the New Jersey Con-
! ference. Although not down in the "books"
as a par: Of the regular conference proceed
ings, it is quite too good TO keep secret. The
conference, usis known, held its session in
the Central Church IN Newark. one Of the
{ most costly and magnificent houses Of worship
/ in the country and not surpassed by any
other in our connection. Among the accom-
paniments of this church are fine large
organ, and welltrained choir, aud hereby
hangs the story, Rev. james b. Finley,
who had been making n visit to several Gus.
tern cities and was present ut the confer
ence, was appointed to preach in this church
J The house Of worship ,~a- so fine, that, 20 uoe
his own expression, he did not think he could
presch or pruy in it. However, he conclu-
ded to try, and, nothing daunted, gave out
the first hymn. The organ rolled out the
symphony, and then the choir struck in; then
came the symphony again, and then the sing.
ing, and thus alternately throughout the hymn
until brother F., to whom this style of sing
| ing in a Methodist church was entirely new,
! felt that his patience was almost exhausted -
At length they got through and then follow
ed the prayer. The sold chief' determined
not to be bored again in this manner, and.
utter reading the second hymn, and before me
organ coald be brought into action, he struck
up the tune himself. A look OF surprise ran
over the house, which soon settled into u
smile; but the preachers present (about two
hnndred) went with him, and then the con-

The mdge wcrm ia occasionally found in
rye, but only when the grain is later than
usual in ripening. when the insects are very
abundant. In this climate rye is commonly
too far advanced before the midge Is ready to
