oial relation was constituted by tho Wilmington
between the Rev. Mr Aikinan and the
people worshpping in the HanoyspSStreet Church. n
There was large and an attentive Hudience.-
Sermon by the Rev. Mr.. Foet IN the duty of preach
ng Christ, and the collatsfal obligation quite APP
propriate to the ocoass1. He showed that the wars
and woes of sin arose be put down, only by carrying
into each map'spdsom the true and eternal doctrines
and duties e she glorious gospel, Thus the man
,omes efAscome at ALL with his eyes open and his
limbs dhfettered under The ''Law Of the Spirit of
LIE ~ hich is in Christ Jesus'
4 After the discourse, the Moderator, Mr.. Emmer-
Son. put to the minister and people the usual ques
tions, which affirmative answers were gwen;
prayer was then offered by Mr. Morton.
The charge to the people was given by Mr.. EN-
merson. He congratulated them on the settlement |
OF pastor under auspices so promising and pleasing
Alter CHANGING Mt the responsibilities Of this relation
ship of pastor and fock--he gave them plainly TO
understand that every duty on bis part had core
responding one on theirs. That there was now
solemn stipulation for various services on his part
ard you the people, promise him 10 the discharge
Of his duties "a proper support, eneouraGement and
obedience in the Lord" Now is IL one of his duties
to make preparations for the pulpit2 then it is
equally yours to attend on these preparations, whe
Their 1t rains or shines.
Look at his duties to you, as SO many measures of
obligations to hun Ought he to be punctual at your
prayer meetings then, even II company arrives,
plead prior engagement, and If possible take them
along, rather than absent yourself. Must he take
heed to his doctrine? So must ye--how We hear,
and what ye hear. If lie is not at liberty to stop
short, or 60 round explaining 1.-THE whole council Of
God,' no more are ye at liberty to make any such
requirement. Meet him ia every attitude in which
he appears before you faithful, fearless guide
and pastor. Let your secret retirement your family
altar and your social meeting witness that be Is on
your hear, before God Thus may you and he help
each other upward and onward TO higher still
higher achievements Of faith and virtue.
But the gem of these interesting exercises was the
address to the pastor elect by his own brother. His
face was such fac smile of his brother's-that no
m M "a tnuK . of bath alpI sA,aho ON
announcement Of tho fact. And ii it be the perec.
tion Of art to conceal art, this valued though un.
known brother, succeeded admirably There was
| simplicity, a drectneRs and tenderness and evident
soiemnily, that produced echoing testimony
nearly ever the whole house-this though not heard,
was felt in silence that was eloquent. He CONS
meneed with this short analysis Of that luminous
phrase :" tho ministry Of reconciliation" its two
central ideas, hopeless, helpless depravity, and
Astounding grace. You remember my brother an
incident in an upper chamber, far from this, some
| years ago, when you stood before me, and with
troubled spirit-put to me that weighty question,
| t'Wbat shall do to be saved?" With emotions
somewhat akin 20 those then, and there, excited,
now To- k upon you in your present position.
In all likelihood others "weary and heavy laden,
will PROFOUND the same question to you. This may
be the beginning of process in which hundreds OF
this people, may come at last to know and love and
elevate ono another to all eternity This is q result
OF the action OF mind on mind ii you but hold forth
the word Of life Alright But this great law,
and calculate If you can, the ruin and disaster and
disgtace that must follow
lie happily alluded 10 the present financial panic.
What distressing anxotes and eorrodiug cares are
now felt with crushing weight by many high
minded and honorable nun at the head Of many Of
our moneyed institutions. But what arc these
millions OF coin and paper, with all their displays
of "good securities and "safe Investments COM
pared with the charge yon have to keep? Their
deposits are indeed fugitive aud uncertain but
yours Is substantial and ever expanding in worth,
when every wealthy corporation ia extinct, and
every bank is broken.h
Oh, if there are considerations that can turn the
good man pale, although they relate only to time,
what must be tho effect Of those that take hold on
vast iaconeeiyable eternity.
This is not even an outline Of MI. Altman charge.
The attempt at giving it, is like ones effort at gah
ering the morling dew, he has caught clear water,
tits true-but its sparkling and rainbow drops are
gone.
COla!T Stone Laying.-On last Tuesday

| Philadelphia, who delivered an excellent and
eloquent address OF about thirty minutes in
length. The next speaker introduced to the
audience was the Rev. Newton Heston, of
Philadelphia, who with his usual eloquenc
entertained the congregation for about half an
hour. After Mr.. Heston had concluded his

edto the generosity of the audience, who res
pc nded by liberal basket collection. The
Presiding Elder then read list of the articles

n Improved Grain DriH.--The Philadelph
Argus, in speaking Of the Agricultural exhil
ton at Poweltown, says, Messrs. Haines
. Woods Of this city, have deposited one OF the
u Drills. There has been sold the present Sc
" son over eight hundred, which have been ust
. with satisfaction. The superiority Of the
y over others in use, is the case system, and e
ID actness, with which they will deposit any liiI
sb of grain, any desired depth on all kinds
ground, without choking or clogging, as is Il
OF case with others. They are simple in co
90 struction, OF light draft to the horses, and n
pe not liable to getout of repair. The adyantag
49, OF drilling over the broad cast system, is t
%, obvious to need explanation. By the Ii
at of these drills, you not only save time and
d. Dor, but waste of grain. Messrs. IL. x W
r. also use the best practical, and employ no
pg but experienced mechanics. Our farmers W
liz have an opportunity of examining the one
rs. exhibition, and il they choose, of giving tht
m orders.

men, engaged in the manufacture of agrc
IL tural implements in this city, have entered o
~ OF their grain drills known as "Pennock's Sc
=" Drill" also an improved combined mower a

n, ter, but from what we saw we are safe In sa
ing that the aground PLAN is superior to an
l.. thing ever invented. 1t is really, to all a
~ pearances, a ''farmers irend,' and is wort
NJ of attention. Their seed drill needs no CO
~ mendation. It's used in every state Of I
:, Union. Farmers speak of it in unqualif
