Grand Division.

We call attention to the annexed Card from
our brethren of Greensboro Division. They
want to do the Handsome thing in the way
OF entertaining the Representatives to the
Grand Division which is to convene there on
the Both inst, and it is important they should
know hon many to provide for, as nearly as
can be ascartained. Let those who intend
being present, drop the Committee a line be
fore going; but do not let any be deferred
from attending, when the time comes, because
they have not done this. Provision, ample
for the accommodation Of all who may go,
will be made but it will save time and some
trouble to know beforehand who will be pres
ent. From what we have heard, this session
viii be more largely attended than any for
several years past. Our Greensboro breth'
rem may safely make provision for a large
delegation. We need not say to the mem
bers of the Grand Division that they will
surely receive "a brothers hand and a broth
er's welcome"

Singular Result.
courage.

For some weeks past, Elder J.. R. Graves,
senior Editor Of the Tennessee Baptist, has
been on trial before the First Baptist Church
in Nashville, of which he was a member,
charged with slandering, through the col
umns Of his paper, Elder R. 3. @. Howell,
Pastor Of said Church. Some fuor specif-
cations were presented. In the early part of
the trial, Elder Graves protested against its
being proceeded with, alleging that it was not
conducted on scripture principles. Elder
Howell and the majority insisted to the con-
trary. A very large majority of the Church
some 80 to 40-refused to suspend the trial
and remand the charges. Mr.. Graves then an
nounced his "withdrawaI'-when the moder-
ator of the meeting informed him there was
but two ways to get out of the Baptist Church
One was by death, and the other by ex-
pulsion-a view which Elder Graves had al
ways contcnded for. Elder G.. and his par
ty, however, refused any further participation
in the trial, and subsequently held a meet
ing and declared that they were the true First
Baptist Church, and that the majority were
Tin disorder" Meanwhile the majority pro-
ceeded with the trial, and sustained all the
charges and specifications against Elder
Graves, either of which, we suppose, would
subject the offender to expulsion.
Thus matters stood, when in a few days
t the Baptist State Association met. Elder
Howell's party and Elder Graves both sent
up delegates thereto, and after examination
e the Association rejected tie HoueU delegates
. and elected Elder Grdres Moderator over The
State Association, declaring the majority t.
e be-'in disorder"-haying failed to comply
: with scriptural rules in prosecuting the trial
We have briefly given the simple facts con
corning the trial, as many of our readers per
haps feel interested to know them. We hay

character of either of these distinguish

Yes, Madora-the strange one-is a

To-day such beauteous thoughts doth come
Thronging around my heart
The fairies kindle in my breast
Of mirth a tiny spark;
They fan it with their gleesome wings
Until they raise q fame,
And then the smiles play DER my check
With gambols wild again;
Till the last remains of sorrows burned,
And my heart once more is free
Each dark shade into light is 4 turned
And sadness smiles with glee.
But the morrow will dawn on aspirit as dark
As the clouds which are banging high over

And ere the morning is walked with the sons
Of the lark,

With young writer's, Cat least many of
them,) the 8uperZatire degree alone seems to
be recognised in their literary compositions,
and especially when designed for the press.
They write as though they thought high
flown words and highly-wrought sentences
alone constituted the beautiful, grand, or
erpressire, in the communication of thoughts
and ideas. A more gorgeous error, on this
subject, they could scarcely commit. They
remind us of the character so severely sati-
rized by Goldsmith in his Deserted Village"
Of whom he says
"While words Of learned length and thunder
ing sound,
Amaz'd the gazing rustics rang'd around;
And still they gaz'd, and still the wonder
grew,
That one small head should carry all he
knew"
Would that our young writer's could be
made believe that the best style Of com
, position consists in pure, chaste simplicity
that reason is quite a handsome and a far
! more expressive word than ''ratiocination."
We have a communication from quite a
promising young writer-some articles from
j whose pen We have published with pleasure
but this abounds with so much verbose
: ness and high-sounding words, that it excites
the ludicrous to peruse it. We say this
in all friendship, and with the hope of bene
fitting our young friend, and we hope he vii
take it in the same kind spirit.
The Poet has said
Beauty unadorn'd is adorn'd the most )"
so it may be also said of literary composition
If young writer's will examine the finest spe
cimens of English composition and ~oratory
ng they will there find grace, sublimity an
power, unmixed with that grandiloquence {
he words which we have here int ended to di
a courage.

For the Spirit of the Age.

MR. EDITOR In looking over your paper
of September the 22nd, [ was so much pleased
with an article written by "MERRY ANDREW"
that | could not refrain from writing to tell
YOU how much | liked it. "Marryinq for
Money!" He has expressed himself Just to
my mind. There certainly is more truth
than poetry in his remarks, though he seems
to think that It's only men that marry for the
golden Deity, at whose shrine so many bow
but | am sorry to say there are as many La
dies that destroy their happiness and peace of
mind in the same manner. There is scarcely
one woman OUT of a hundred, that marries for
love; and not one out Of a thousand that mar
ries her first love. Either Pa or Ma is sure
to o~bject-perhaps both-and end by saying,
"she shall never marry him with their con-
sent )" merely because he is not rich. Thus
the dream of happiness ends. How transient
are the hopes of youth Ere they are crea-
ted in the human mind, they are blasted, de-
stroyed forever. How seldom are the fairy
dreams Of life realized in this vain, wealth
seeking world. Too oft they are blighted in
the bud, and bitter disappointment, with an
iron grasp, clings to frail mortals as ''the old
man Of the sea" instead of the realization Of
bright hopes, once SO fondly cherished.
\ few young ladies of a romantic turn Of
mind, elope with their chosen one-but
don't fancy that style much. have offer
heard old people remark, that ''run-a-wa,
matches never come to any good end"
would be afraid to try it, for it might not turf
, out so well, and then | would have no one t
, blame %butmyself. | would much rather blam
: some one else. But | shall never marry 70
I wealth for instead of happiness, it bring
4 sorrow, and often takes wings and flies away
leaving the haggard countenance of poyert
staring you in the face, instead of the wealt
on which you built your hopes offuture har
| piness-for ''all is not gold that glitters."-
"MERRY ANDREw' says that gentlemen afte
seeing a pretty face, with which they al
l pleased, enquire rs she rich ?" Now l don
know what most ladies would remark, but
can tell you what | always think, and som
h times ask, after seeing a gentleman to N
fancy-'Is he married ?" OIL by the by

RENARKABLE CoINCIDEScE.-Thc New York
Courier and Enquirer in the early part Of
October, contained an interesting criticism
on the performance Of Picolomini in the play
of Trayiata. In the Washington States
of Oct. 80, We find the same criticism almost
verbatim, on Madame Colson's performance
in the same play-the name Colson only be-
ing substituted for Picolomini. But who
will say such a paper as the States would
be guilty Of plagiarism No one, surely
1t is only another remarkable coincidence"

DYSPEPS1A.-That most troublesome"an and
painful Of all diseases it is now ascertained, can
be effectually cured. Many have been the pre-
parstions gotten up to attain this object, but with
ono solitary exception, We believe all have failed
of their purpose. DR.. J. Hostetter's Stomach
Bittcrs, the one referred to, however, has proven
such an invaluable remedy for diseases of the
stomach. that no one at all conversant with its
history, will question its efficacy in cases of the
most alarming character. Thousands, by the
frequent use of the Bitters. have enjoyed an
equally speedy and e~ffsctual restoration to phys-
zeal strength and vigor. all who are suffering
from diseases arising from . foul stomach, should
not fail or hesitate to use it.

Not many years ago, a young man of fine

beautiful land of the South. By profession
he was a lawyer, and one who bid far to at

Before, or at the time he left the f~raternai
roof to do baltic for himself upon ''the broad

wealth. TIL armament of his future was
unclouded, and the sun of hope shone with

ruin, came in the wake of the storm.
He met that foe which thousands meet,
