The SABBATH IN PoRTsRoUTH.--
Yesterday upon account of the rain dur
lug the forenoon, the churches were very
poorly attended. The rain having passed
over in the afternoon there were large
crowds TO I'll the different places Of wor-
ship in the evening. The day passed
away as usual, very quietly, having
been, we believe, generally pretty well
observed.
In the morning we went to hear the
Rev. I. W. X Handy, CT the Middle
street Presby terrain Church. We found
Mr.. Handy to be quite q fine, pleasant
speaker, and possessing some eloquence.
lie preached a fine discourse from Job
TX II; 15v; hast thon marked the Old
way which wicked men have troddon.'
As did enc Of Jobs visitors, who came

tons, SO did the speaker put this question
to his hearers hast thou marked the old
way This old way ref rrol to, was TIE

propounded the question thought that 1t

This way is an old and bread way

proven to be broad way, from the tens
