; ut every speek of dirt that lights upon
them, but after they have been accustomed
to it, and have travelled a good while in
foul ways, it ceases to be Troublesome to be

Some men in their worldly trade, may
say, at the years end, they have neither
got nor lost; but thou canst not say that
at the days end of thy soul thou art at
night better or worse than thou vast in
the morning
AS snow is of itself cold, yet warns and
rofrcShcs the earth, so Affections, though
in themselves grievous yet keep the soul
of the christian warm, and make it fruitful

The reproof of a good man resembles
fuller earth, it not only removes the spots
from our character, but it rubs off when it
is dry WaHS 1HIlhjnSon
He hath run long enough who hath
touched the prize; he hath sailed long
enough who is come safe into the harbor
and he hath lived long enough who is ready
to die Bd,ctcr
Let man have all the world can give
him, he is still miserable, if he has a grov-
cling, unfettcrcd, undevout mind
God never accepts the will for the decd
when he puts it in a mans power to do as
well as will.

| The gift of prayer may gain admiration
from men, but it is the grace of prayer that
has power with God
In prayer it is better to have heart
without words, than words without heart.

TEKHGFTc GALE.-Thc steamship Co
lumbia, Capt Berry, which arrived at this
port yesterday forenoon, reports that at 10
o'clock on Friday morning last, after pass-
ing Cape Lookout, she encountered very
heavy g,,le from II, N, f., the sea making
! from the Southeast At 10 p. IN, the wind
suddenly shifted to H. S. T., and blew a
| hurricane, which continued until a. m
on Saturday morning, when it died away,
but leaving tremendous sea. During the
gale, the Columbia lost her starboard pad
die box, and portion of her deck freight
among which was remarkably fine pair of
horses, consigned to Mr.. Hubbard, of this
city. Shortly after this temporary lull in
the gale, the wind again shifted, and came
ont from the Northwest with much violence,
greatly increasing the turbulence of the
sea- The officers of the Columbia report
it as the most trying storm the ship ever
experienced. She seemed to be in the very
centre of this furious conflict of winds.

MURDER WILL OUT.-Our readers will
rccollcct that some time ago we mentioned
the circumstance that package from the
Planters Bank of Fairfield, containing
$1,000 in notes, directed to party in the
Vest, never reached its destination. In
vestigations since made by the indcfatigable
Col. Martin, Special Agent of the Post Of
fee Department, lead to the inference that
the robbery was committed by a negro
breakman on the Charlotte road-some of
the lost money having been put in circrtla-
ton by a member Of the negro s,family.-
The fellow has been arrested Great credit
is due to Col Martin for his efforts in dis
covering the author of this fraud. - Cdyoti-
