The Camp Meeting at Sandy Springs.
The camp meeting at this place passed off
last week without an unusual degree of OK
citcment. large number of persons were
present, and much interest was manifested
in the preachingof the Word, Hero though,
as at other places, some were to be found who
paid very little attention to the mmistrations
from the stand, or the divine influences of the
Sabbath day; gop 'ally speaking, however,
the vast concoursc was we'll behaved
Rev. COLIN MURcMlsoN preached the ''clcy-
en- O'Clock sermon" on the Sabbath, but we
thought it fell short Of what we had been ac-
customed to hear at the same place ond hour
In the afternoon, Rev. Mr.. MoSwAIN, by ma
turc eloquent and pleasant, held forth to an
undimhishcd audience for over an hour, with
considerable effect. His striking resemblance
to one, highly honored by this Congressional
district, was u subject of remark by many
The tinc-honorc'l custom of taking up
collections" was duly observed as usual, and
the result we arc informed, speaks we'll for
tho libcrality of the nsscmblage.
These annual gatherings of our Methodist
friends are cherished by them most highly
AT Sandy Springs, for very many years, these
and other Christians have communed so adj
vantagcously and happily togcthcl, that it
looked on now almost as sacred gro0nd! Fer
those out of the pale of the church, its tocur-
renee is looked to with anything but an idle
interest True, evil is sometimes intermixed
with the good that is accomplished: but are
not Satan n'sminions everywhere to be found
dragging even tho angels down from on high?
1t will always be pleasure to us to "'pitch
our tcnton this camp gsound, fora few days"
80 long as it is kept up, and the great gath
gering to be seen here yearly is proof; strong
as holy writ" that there are many others of
our way of thinking.
The meeting mt Centre, in this district, is
in progress, and theone at Pickcnsvillccom-
mences next week 4

AN. ECCENTRIC,DIvIN

In Wakely's Heroes of. Methodism,
we find the subjoined "reminiscences of
neofa class ofpreachers, we regret to
say, that are rapidly Disappointing
The quaint remarks and eccentric hab-
its ofithese men. often proved more eff.
fective in bringing home the truth to
the consciences of their ,hearers. than
the most finished productions of our
modern evangelists. But we are for
getting the anecdotes. iia ipesia bs53at
Bro: oGruber was of an independent
turn of mind, would not take ANYTHING
for granted simply because everybody
else did, He once took occasion to
refute, in his usual quaint style, the
old proverb, that, aStill water runs
deep. He used to shout aloud the
praise Of God, and contend that it was
spiritual q In answering the objections
toj,shoutipg, he noticed this: iisti1
water runs deep "Notso;" said he,
s'still water does not run at all; for if
it ran it would not be still. Further.
more it is not SO pure as water that
runs. 1t becomes stagnant,. slimy,
and breeds tadpoles." aa4psai ga
He was q warm republican, and du-
ring the revolutionary war, said in one
of hisprayers, "Lord bless KingGeorge;
convert, and take him to heaven, We
have had enough and want no more of
him here. The Amen to this prayer
was unusually emphatic. G...,,
Another time he assisted in divine
service, where young Presbyterian
clergyman violently preached against
some of the doctrines of Methodsm.
Bro. Gruber was asked to close the
services with prayer, which he did,
and as it is customary, prayed for the
minister. "Oh Lord" said dahe, abless
the preacher who has preached to us
this morning, and make his heart as
soft as his head, and then he'll do some
good. "---Erchauge. /. @.,'.s.s'D .

neither will the soul become decrepit;
and in all the multitudes of heaven not
one shall bo seen leaning upon his staff
for very age! What, like the angels,
never grow old! to be always the same
through datcless centuries as when first
created But cannot She annihilate
herself? o, no, the souls literal sui
eide cannot be performed! No Judas
Iscariot can find a sulphurous tree, or
jutting wall, which, in Gebcnna's cav
ern, or burning fields, may afford him
suspension between life and death.---
The soul must live on. aeJaisj
