TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

TRIBUTE OF HESPECTs.
The Session of Ebenezer church having learned,
with profound regret, the death Of the Rev. 2. L.
Bishop, their former Pastor and friend, at Ben
nettsville on the 9th of last March, believe they
express the sentiment both of the entire Church
and community, in saying they fselit . highpriv-
ilege, as we'll as duty, to give public expression
to their sorrow, and to add their testimony to the
high christian character and exalted worth Of the
man, who, after having spent nearly fourteen years
in the prime of life amongst us, as citisen and
Pastor, left US deeply impressed with the senti-
ment, that few men were better entitled to that
noblest of epithet-a great and good man.: We
revered him while living-we delight to honor his
name since dead. ........
Resolred, Therefore
1st. That while we bow with humble submission
TO this Dispensation Of the Great Disposer Of
events, we feel that in his death great loss has
been sustained. Society has been deprived OF a
model citizen-the church Of one of her most ef.
acient minister's: and his .femly. Of devoted
husband and an affect onste father.
End. That q page be specially set apart In the
records of the church, upon which to enroll his
name, and to record the length Of his pastorship
to our church, together with the time and place
Of his death.
81. That we request our present Minister, Rev.
W. T. Hall, to preach at Ebeneser, at some early
and convenient time, sermon on his life, services
and character.
4,h. That copy of these resolutions be sent to
the family of the deceased, and that we ask per-
mission to mingle our grief with theirs

ALETpER FROM PUNC HI.

RIPLEY, Miss, April 30, 1859.
Dear Enquirer: "Hope deferred maketh the
heart SICK" said n wise man, and you don't know
no " bad felt when received that letter of Mrs
Weazle, of the 9th inst. When saw her first one
to you, thought there was chance for me and
no mistake My expectations were buoyant and
my hopes thought so we'll founded, that almost
imagined myself in plain reality basking in the ra
dant smiles of a sweet and lovely bride. Yes,
and how often in fancy's tickle dreams did l
clasp the lily white hand within my own-extend
my arm around a form of perfect symmetry, and
stealthy as it were, sip the ambrosial nectar from
O pair of roseate, laughing lips. But alas! these
airy visions have fed from me like q sensible old
rat from the insinuations Of o famished WeGzle.-
The old lady's last letter has swept all my ILL.,
founded calculations out of existence. The truth
is, hate long courtships, and had calculated on
flying trip on the smoky horse to Columbia I
was anxious to get there before the weather gets
too tarnation hot, and before the intermittent fe-
yer season sets in. Besides, it is so pleasant to
travel this time of year, when the skies are bright
the weather mild, and every bush and tree robed
in livery of green with
"a nice song bird atop each spray,
That whistles sweetlv all the day."
But all these vain fancies have proved sad delu-
sion. Now see very plainly, the possibility of
long Irritation and coquettng, winding up perhaps
in general disappointment, unless fortunately, l
can prevail upon Gov. McWtLLIE with whom am
intimately to convene an extra session of the State
Legislature for my exclusive benefit. Bat then
| might not succeed in getting new christening,
in consequence of "Punch" being affixed to sew
cral important documents in others hands. But
is it not horrible to think after all, that such
hopes as I have entertained founded oil such
grounds, should ever be blasted by name, q mere
name? And what is there in q name after all?-
Mr.. SHAKESPEARE said, "a rose by any other name
would smell as sweet" and, we're the very per-
sonifcation of the picture the old lady has drawn
up Of me, would in person or appearance be the
least whit changed, merely by a change of name
I guess not, no more than Weazle would be
changed to toad, merely by calling it toady.-
But she is getting old, suppose, and l must try
to humor her whims. Punch! Fatal epithet--aud
must we part? Yes, indeed, however much 1t
grieves me. since you have so odiously offended
the dear good old Mrs. Weazle. Aud yet am
10th to give you up-,he only inheritance l over
expected to enjoy from m houored parentage -
But YOU must be repudiated as soon as the legis-
lature meets to ratify the act. In the meantime
though, the Weazles must select name that will
please them. So the old lady will very much
oblge me by assembling her household MAT in
cluded) aud among hands, select one that Will De
satisfactory TO all, and send it to me forthwith
I hope, however, they viii p0s call me Ras nor

not form any purpose or determination in our
minds Of practical nature; for how can we know
certainly that we can accomplish It? We could
not then have any plan for the future about farm

"be sure you're right then 60 ahead" Every
man is pledged already to do his duty. Let him

his ability, with the Divine blessing to do all that
duty requires; and if be fail, let it be in the way

he should be seen making his escape ipglorious-

that you will abstain from all that intoxicates.-

Guilty, they announce in their paper Of yesterday
the complete success Of their project. The wheel

has very considerable elevation. They declare
that they regard the motive power thus obtained

realize by its operstiou-a reward they certainly
