PREPARE FOR DEATH.

A Young man in the vgor of health, was
thrown fom vehicle, and conveyed to the
nearest house, in state of alarming danger.
A physician was called. The FIRST question OF
the wounded youth, was ''Sir, must die? must
| die deceive me DOT in this thing" He was
told that he could not live more than an hour.
He walked up, as II were at once, 10 full sense
of the dreadful reality. sMust ! then 60 into
eternity in an hour! must appear before my

And now what shall do TO BE- saved! He was
told that he must repent and beve in the Lord
Jesns Christ. ''But how shall / repent and

ner. Death will not wait for explanation.
The work must be done. The whole business of
an intnortalbeing in this probationary lie is now
crowded into one short hour-and that is an
hour of mental agony and distraction. Friends
were around, and running 10 and fro in the frenzy
of grief The poor sufferer with bosom hea-
wing with emotion, and an eve cleaning with
desperation, continued his cry of ssWhat shall

STILL ANOTHER BLACK REPUBLICAN, Angel
FALLES.-Cau it be possible that the fact of ak
most every clergyman who lent himself to the
Fremont disunion scheme, in 1856, having fall
en- in crime and iniquity, will fail TO open the
eyes of every honest Black Republican TO the
fact that their conduct is abhorred By the HI
mighty, and that for their apostacy, He has
given them over 10 unbelief and hardness of
heart! These men who had dedicated them
selves to the service OF the great Jehogah, who
could not fail 10 see that the election of Fre-
/ mont must inevitably lead to dismemberment
otthe Union, iorsook their holy calling, and
devoted themselves to the service OF their eoun-
try's enemies. IS ..q
Now we see The result oftheir apastacy. We
can scarcely open an exchange but the account
OF another clergyman falling into crime stares
US IN the face. This should be enough 10 con-
vince every unprejudiced man, that the cause
OF Black Republicanism is an unhoy and God
abhorred cause, and that the displeasure of high
Heaven sooner or later overtakes those who un-
derstood its evil tendencies and embarked in il.
The clergymen who enrolled themselves under
the disunion banner of Black Republicansm are,
one after another, being exposed, and consigned
to the infamy their crimes and misdeeds entitle
them TO. The Mercer County tOhio) Standard
of the Bird inst, says that Rev. Wesley Brock,
who is one of the loudest Black Republicans in
the northwest, an old minister and recently
presiding elder ofthe district, has been guilty of
the crime of seduction, and that the lady whom
ne has ruined has commenced legal proceedings
against him. The Standard 10 noticing the
matter, says - 3a attll.H4 @
We do not give publicity to this debasng
crime of Mr.. Brock with any intention of in
juriDg the church. Far from it. Our sympa-
thies have always been with The denomination
sof which he has been leading but now fallen
star. But we have always thought, and still
believe, that so long as the church permits its
preachers to dabble in politics to the neglect Of
their religious duties, it is SHINING against itself
in not sileEcing the renegades Immediately. By
such course the church wonld soon regain the
ground lost in the past few years, and confidence
amongst the people. So long as political
preaching is allowed, it will continue to suffer-
