Business n D.scipliue.

The life of man Of business gives
his character a pretty hard trial. Not
only does it exercise his ssgacity and
prudence. but it puts his integrity to
the scverest test. He il surrounded
by the selfshness Of trade; he sees
men profit by cunning and fraud, and
he is tempted to try his skill in arti-
fee and deception. Every day his
honesty is tried in some way. He is
thrown back upon his inward princi-
pie, and if his heart is hollow and de
ceitful he will be sure to show it.
And that man has reason who has
gone through long course Of bust
ness, through times Of wild speculation
and general bankruptcy. and goes down
to the grave with the never shaken
consciousness of being an honest man
He who can see others making money
by false representations, snd never
stoop to these tricks of trade, is fitting
his own pure mind for a world that is
worthy of him.
And yet man can not wholly
escape these temptations. To do thai
ne must needs go out of the world ol
retire into solitude. He might indeed
avoid all danger by shutting himsel
up within the walls of convent tc
pass life of outward sanctity an
lazy contemplation. Bnt the piety
that is nursed in cloisters is OF sickl,
growth compared with that which
maintains its integrity and strong in
duccmcnts to evil.
Men ought to rejoice in rigid dis
cipline. Whenever assailed by temp
tation, an opportunity is given to con
quer themselves. and so TO be ,omc no
bier beings. The most heroic virtues
Of the human character are brouGh
out in this struggle with inborn sci
fishncss, and with the cowardly exam
pies of the worl6. Men OF brav,
hearts ought to welcome TIM conflict
and bufe;ings Of life. Every victor,
they gain will make them stronger. q
the tempest which rocks and tears tn
mountain oak causes it TO strike il
roots down deeper in the earth, and T.
lift higher its majestic arms toward
heaven.-.NorM Carolina Messenger.

DANIEL WoKTH.

The man who preached the above
discourse, Rev. DASIEL WoRTH. is
Known to most OF this community. and
has in this county large circle oi
friends who esteem him highly. For
many years past. he has been the un-
compromising foe Of Slavery. His
friends in this county will be pleased
to learn that he is actively AMI earnest
ly employed in his native State, North
Carolina, laboring under the commits
sion Of the A. ". \. for the removal Of that
gigantic evil. The above is a noble
testimony against unrighteousness;
and ought to put to the blush all tenn
porising. tiine-serving. dangershun-
ming, timid ministers in the North,
who, either through fear Of losing some
cosey charge, or caste in society, OF
suffering persecution from Slavery
Professors Of Religion. dare not "open
their mouths for the dumb" The
minister OF the Gospel who can thus,
like the sermon above, rebuke that
vile system of sel6shness. American
Slavery, and that, too, in its strong
hold of wickedncss, is deserving of al
praise and honor.
Il should undoubtedly be. like that
OF Christ, the aim OF every minister II
disseminate righteousness. purity. and
holiness. and TO wage an uncompro
missing war against wickedness OF ev
cry kind ard degree. whether in the
Church or State; and the minister whs
fails to do this plainly. faithfully, anC
pointedlv, regardless Of consequences

ought to resist and reject al laws that
come in conflict with these. On the
principle that we ought to obey God
rather than man.

Christian Cheerlujness.

Christian cheerfulness is honorable
to God, and of happy influence on
man. Let the cheering and ,ranquiliz-
ing power Of the gospel break forth
anil shine from your chars ter. Jere-
miah sung psalms in the dungeon;
Luther translated the Bible while in
prison; John beheld tie brightest Wis.,
ions Of the New Jerusalem in Patmos;
Bunyan. in later days, composed his
Pilgrim in confinement. There is very
impressive power in Christian happy
ness, on those who seeit from without
It is sunshine amid dripping clouds
a Sabbath heart in a week. day body;
and Sabbath speech amid the dialects
of Babel. 1t is brightest when all
around il is blsckest. When cur nat
ural affections cease their music. we
then hear sung out OF the sky unutter-
able melodies which ear hath not heard;
when the world is all gloom. & regen-
Grated sonl treads glories out OF every
pebble, and sees the stars as arteries
along which pulsations OF felicity reach
him. He can say with Habakkuk:
Although the fg-,ree shall not bios
som, neither shall fruit be on the vines;
the labor Of the olive shall fail, and
the fields shall yield no meat; thc
fiocks shall be cut off from the field
and there shall be no herd in the stalls
yet will rejoice in the Lord. ! viii
/ Joy in the God of mr. salvation.
