The Rep,dd,oan's W1tport correspondent

that Capt Hamilton and some 20 others,

turn TO the Territory 10 look after and
protect their property. On approaching

Prcsbytery Of Central Mississippi had closed
its business sessions there on Saturday eve
ming, and that the Sacrament Of the Lords
Supper would be celebrated that Sabbath
morning. We therefore gave up the in.
tended service on the boat, and joined the
congregation in the sacramental services Of
the Presbyterian Church. And precisely
such meeting, under such circumstances,
had never before occurred upon the banks
Of the Mississippi, and may never occur
again; one hundred ministers and elders
from thirteen States and Territories of the
Union, stopping one of the floating palaces
on this majestic river, on purpose 10 keep
holy the Lords day, meeting Prcsbytery
in session, and joining with them and with
the CA2-eh in celebrating tbs I.orIs Ssn-
per. II was most refreshing season to our
company, to the Presbytcry aud to the con-
gregation.
The services were given up almost entire
ly to the ministers and elders Of our party.
Rev. Mr.. Painter, formerly pastor at Vicks.
burg, and then member Of the Prcsbytcry
in session, now of Boonville, Missouri,
preached the sermon, and Drs. Hoge and
Junkin administered the sacrament. After
the services were over, DIR. Hoge remarked,
with the tears rolling down bis checks, that
he had never, in all his life, spent sweeter
communion season. At the invitation OF
the Captain, the congregation joined, at 3
i. NJ, in worship on the steamer, and this
magnificent cabin was lilled. | trust this
example Of Sabbath keeping on the Missis'
sppi will be long remembered, and that its
influence will be salutary. To have one Of
the largest steamers on the Father Of Wa
ters stop twenty. four hours 10 keep the Sab.
bath, is a new thing under the sun, and
strikes every one who had heard Of it with
astOnishment.

WORDS UPON THE WATER.

Far away fond hearts are beating,
Out upon the stormy sea;
Let US hear il no kind greeting

Each in hurrying after each,
(For the sea is loud and high.)
Will bear it to the pebbly beach,
And cast ii at our feet and die.
Hsrk 4! . low farewell of sorrow,
And fOreboding Of despair,
Fearful OF the hard tomorrow,
Loaded with its freight Of care;
Tender words Of hope and comfort,
For the loved and the forlorn.
Let alone 10 toll and suffer,
On the rushing waves are bourne.
Tender thoughts OF home far distant,
.. Seen through miata Of childish tears.
Mixed with brightest dreams Of glory,
And the hopes Of childish years;
Honors and renown, and victory,
Ere the strife il yet begun,
And the conquered to be pardoned,
Ere the day is fought or won.
Vows and words and trust of promise,
Murmured tender and low,
Given to the midnight breezes,
Where the northern waters dow
Hope, regret, and joy and sorrow,
Mingled in the waters roar,
As the crested waves are rushing
Onward 10 the pebbly shore.
Hush amid the din Of waters.
Let US hold our breath and hear
II the thunder Of the cannon
BE not borne toward US here;
II the deadly sound Of battle
Come across the waters free,
And the glorious cry Of Victory
Be not echoed by the sea
