and our admiration more than Calpins tho
young exile from France, who saehiexsd

twenty-eight years Of age; now boldly
reasoning with the King Of France for
religious liberty; now senturing as tho
apostle of truth to carry the new doc
trines into the heart of Italy, and hardly
escaping from the evfury Of papal perse-
cution; the purest writer, the keenea diA-
lectieian of his country; pushing free IN
quiry, to its utmost verge and yet valping
inquiry solely as the means Of arriving at
final conclusions. The light Of his gepius
scattered the mask of darkness which
superstition had held for centuries bslors
the brow OF religion. His proi1ity bas
unquestioned,s his morals. spotless Hia
only happiness consisted in his s. task AZ
glory and Of good" for sorrow found ito
way into all his private relations. He
was an exile from his country; he 'bScsims
for season an exile from his splaco of
exile. As husband, he was doomed to-
mourn the premature loss of his wife; -.
a father he felt the bitterpang Of hnrying.
his only child. Alone in the world. alonsr,
in a strange land, he went forward in hin
career with serene resignation and indsx-
ible iirmness; no love of ease turned him
aside from his vigils; no fear of danger
relaxed the nerve Of his. eloquence; mo-
bodily infirmities checked the Incredible:
activity of his mind; and SO he continued.
year after year, solitary and feeble, yet
toiiing for humanity, till after . lifs cf
glory, he bcqneathed to his personal heira
a fortune, in books and furniture, stocka
and money, not exceeding two hundred
dollars, and to the world a purer reforma--

CHRISTMAS.

Next Thursdays is Christmas and the birth day
of the Redeemer of the world. 1t will be SOL
emnized and celebrated by the usual libations,
explosions festivities &c. 1t has always been
an nexpIicable matter to US, how the Saviour
could possibly be honored by whiskey festivals
and rum revels: how the meek AMI gentle jesus
could be glor'eJ by, bachanniiau, registering.
red-nose tipri:rs and carcasn5 rcwljcs; hcw
the advent Of l...n whose mission was peace
could be fitly cclcora ted by tile din Of fire arms
the whizznr rocket, and The blazing cannon.
Ii there is a Sabbath, holy day-a day in
which all should be peace, and quiet, and silent
thank sgiving when the hustle Of business should
be sted and the noise Of traic and trade and
the clinkng of money should be hushcd; when
the lowly prayer Of the christian in his closet,
or the song Of praise from worshipiny assem-
blics iii the sanctuary, should be all to disturb
the sacred peace aud break the hush Of solemn
silence; that day should be the now unworthily
remembered nativity of the Saviour of men
When the racket of exploding arms the noisy
camorhgs of business, boisterous rcveings and
uprcarous carousals make the festal honors of
that sacred hour, why does not yelling
cloud rise
Like frown upon the brow of heaven
And fling its mourning drapery DER

Machine for Cuttius Down Trees.

There is on exhibition in the Mechanics Ex-
change, Sun Iron Building, u working model
of a machine for cutting down trees. 1t belongs
to that class Of inventions which are manlfestly
practical rnd eminently useful and convince
the observer at glance that inventive genius
has achieved IA great result from the simplest
means. An iron flame is made to clasp the
tree and from this frame chsel-shaped knife
is brought into contact with the trunk. BY
the turning of a wrench, the chisel is worked
round and round the tree, cutting its way tG
the centre. The inventor claims for it an eff
cheney equal to the telling of a tree four feet in
diameter in half an hour. AS it cults only a
narrow groove, it saves considerable portion
of the butt of each tree. 1t will also cut SO
close to the ground to leave no stump above
the surface while it prepares g square butt
ready for the mill 1t is the invention of Nj
|E. e. Ersham, and it is well worthy the atten
ton of persons interested in so valuable an III
|strumentali,y Of ''progress" in this country.

RAD Road.

Fearful Accident Oh the Wilmington aud Manchester
RAD Road.
4 most fearful accident occurred on the Will
mington and Manchester Road, on Monday
atternocn near the Pee Dee River about ten
miles from Marion Court House. The particu-
lar locality is known as the Pee Dee Cur7e,"
and the accident caused by the meeting of
The up and down passenger trains 1t seems
that both trains were behind time, and were
veuturiny ON, each expecting to meet the other
when in passing round this curve, which is the
shortest ON the road, and where the grade is
also very heavy, with hardly the warming Of Il.
moment, the collision took place. The engine
Of the down train had just Increased its Steam
for the ascent, and the descent OF the grade,
addedto the momentum Of the up train. There
were three passenger cars attached to each train
and as they crashed together, five were disa-
bed, and Que almost utterly broken in pieces
Bot engines and the baggage cars met the same
fate.
Tie most extraordinary part Of the whole
occurrence is that beyond Il few comparatively
triing cuts aad bruises no Injury was done to
any one. Mo- person was kliird, and nc limbs
were broken. Most Of the snail Injuries re-
ceived were by fremen ahu brakemen, and oc-
aSoned by jumping from the train into the
ditch by the side OF the track. \ box car Oh
the down tram was flied by "a large numbe: oi
negroes, and the tender of the other train was
absolutely forced lnte this car, where it remain
ed-but neither of the negroes nor the gentle
man vino accompanied them were Injured
though thrown each side to make Way tui
the tender. ..
AS nsuaT, ''no blame is attached to anybody, ,
at least he passengers do not seem to rest amy
lrafele lessness upon the ccul luctors. Both train.
were over an hour behind tme, and it is said
that each waited the time prescribed by ihs
schedule before leaving the stations last pas
before the collision. 1t is very evident, how
ever. that there is fault somewhere, either ii
