POLITICS AND RELIGION.

correspondent of the Hartford Times says,
in Central Village Conn., there is neat and pretty
edifce in which the Congressional Church and
Society worship, over which the Rev Geo. Hall,
was installed pastor about six months since. Mr.
Hall is good preacher and according to the
standards Of New England theology, sufficiently
orthodox. Having performed his duties among
his people for several weeks after his settlement,
to the apparent satisfaction of ALL it was discovered
that Mrs Hall, who is lady of piety, refinement
and education and who is calculated to gain the
affections of all who appreciate real worth, is a
native of Southern State The cry was soon
heard, "Our minister is pro-savery-his wife Is
from the South" Suddenly it remembered
that he had not preached upon the subject of
abolltiOn-he had not even prayed for the slaves
emancipation since he had been their pastor. Mr.
and Mrs Hall at once became objects of suspicion
A committee waited on the pastor and asked
him to resign his charge This he refused to do
at the bidding ofthree or four men, being conscious
of having done nothing worthy of such treatment
Though he had lost the love of the people, he had
not lost his own selfrespect, and he was unwilling
to be turned out upon the world as if he had
committed some crime.
Being thus situated, the church called council
to decide the question for them. On assembling,
the council saw at once that Mr. Hall must be
dismissed, whether in the right in the wrong
He could not live he then situated His
wife confined to her bed by sickness occasioned
by the state of things in the church. Her husband
could longer be nf any benefit to the people as
minister of the Truth, for they had decided that
he pro-slavery. One Of the council asked the
committee of the church, "If the question of
slavery wholly set aside, if Mr. Hall had not
been good preacher, good pastor and if his
sermons were not Evangelica.' The answer was
ave are an anti-slavery church and people"
Mr. Hall was dismissed, and by the unanimous
vote of the Council, though in relation to the
manner and reasons, bare majority only ruled
this body There were some who, though known
to beanti-savery in eirprinciples, not willing
to send brother beloved out into the world in this
summary manner, without some remunerat ion
from the people. They had invited him to settle
among them, and, in accepting their invitation, he
had removed his family and household goods from
distance, at considerable expense, and with the
belief that his situation would be permanent 1t
was proposed and urged that he should at least
receive the balance of his salary for the current year
three hundred dollars But the voice of the
majority prevailed, and with the paltry sum of
500, which the Council voted him, a devoted
Christian minister is dismissed from a church over
which he settled in good faith in less than one
year previously. For crime, for no blot upon
his moral religious character he is turned into
the world to seek position where his labors and
character can be appreciated

SEASIDE MUSINGS.

I've walked by the sea, when the tide was receding.
And thought how bright hopes like its flood ebb'd
away;
How fond ones have perished, and left me here
needing
Their counsels, their sympathy, onward l stray
The calm blue of Heaven looked down on the food,
And the waters, urged by the gentle South wind,
Came up and knelt down on the beach where stood,
Dispelling the sorrows entraneing the mind.
Then the bright starry host peeped out, by one,
And threw their pure rays DER the earth and the
sea,
While | unused DER the scene and enjoyed all alone
The song which the wind and the waves sung to me.
Oh, cold is the heart that can only find pleasure
Midst revelry and mirth as they skinner along
They're good in their places-yet, oh! beyond
measure,
[ worship great Nature friend, and song.
How oft, when the full tide Of fortune is flowing,
The full glow of friendship is sure to attend,
But when the rude blast of misfortune is blowing
Oh, where are the smiles of the cold hearted then?
Oh, give me friend who can joy for my pleasure,
Or weep for my sorrow, or sigh for my woe;
Such friend III my bosom I'd hide as a treasure,
A treasure this fond heart could never forego.
