Van Dykes sermon.

On our first page will be ound the first half
Of Mr. Van Dykes Sermon on the character
and influence of AbolitionisIn, delivered in the
First Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, Sabbath
evening, Dec. 9Th, 1850 This Sermon, every
word ci which il drawn from and proven by
Holy Writ, is one OF the most profound and
incontroyertiblg conclusive arguments that we
have ever seen on the distractins question Of
slavery. 1t has been published in almost ev
cry Union journal in the land, and nothing but
its great length has prevented US from insert
ing it heretofore. The irequen: and urgent ap
plirations of our readers for this document, has
made its publication a necessity. Let it be
carefully read by all, and especially should the
Christian who conscientiously believes slave
holding sin, study this Sermon and consult
his Bible. 1t is question with US whether a
man with an ordinary mind, who is an Adolf
tionist can be christian. And We further be-
lieve, that if there is any thereafter with
"wailing and gnashng Of teeth" that every 81
mon pure Aboliiionist, unless he repents in
"sackclo,h and ashes," will sooner or later
smell brimstoae.

Pleasures Of being a Witness.

1t is pleasant thing to be a witness on
an important trial. If we knew that
murder was about to be committed across
the way, We are inclined to the opinion
that we should put our boots through
rapid course Of locomotion around the cor
ner, beyond the range of sight and hear
ing, to avoid the consequences Of being
witness, Being witness you are called
to the stand and place your hand on
copy of the scriptures, in sheepskin bind
ing, with a cross on one side and none on
the other, to accommodate either variety
Of Christian faith You are then a-raigned
before two legal gentlemen, one Of whom
smiles at you blandly because you are on
his side, the other cycling you savagely for
the opposite reason. The gentleman
who smiles proceeds to pump you OF all
you know, and having squeezed out all he
wants of you, relentlessly hands you over
to the other, who proceeds to show you
that you are entirely mistaken in all your
suppositions that you never saw anything
you have sworn to; that you never saw
the defendant in your life in short, that
you have committed direct perjury.
He wants to know if you have ever been
in State prison. and takes your denial with
the air of man who thinks you ought to
have been there, Asks you all the ques-
tions over again in different ways. and tells
you with an awe inspiring severity to be
careful what you say. He wants to know
if he understood you to say so and so, and
wants to know whether you meant some
thing else. Having bullied and scared
you out of your wits. and convicted you IN
the eyes of the jury of prevarieation. he
lets you 60. By and by, everybody you
have fallen out with is put on the stand, to
swear yoa are the biggest seouDdrel they
ever knew, and not to be believed under
oath. Then the opposing counsel, in sum
ming up, paints your moral photograph to
the jury, as character fit to be handed
down to all time as the type of infamy =
as man who had eonspired against inno-
eenee and virtue. and stood convicted Of
the attempt, The judge in his charge,
tells the jury if they believe your testimo-
ny, &c, &c, indicating that there is even
judicial doubt of your yeracity. and you
go home to your wife and family, neigh
bors and aequaintances. a suspected man,
all because of your accidental presence on
an unfortunate accession. Who would be a

An Incident in the Carg

On the whole, pleasant traits and Incl
dents are not common in the cars. / think.
This opinion expressed to my friend SOM
ers the other day. In reply to my remark
he related little adventure, which as it is
apropos, moreover involves a little love
and sentiment, give it without apology,
in his own words. It appears that in the
most unlikely places love and sentiment
may be discovered.
/ was escorting home the lovely Char
lotte D., to whom l was at the time
quite devoted we got in one of the crowd
ed avenue cars. Charlotte could scarcely
find room TO spread her crinoline and ar
range her voluminous founces; | stood up
near her, there being no vacant seat.
After few minutes came in a poor wo-
man, who deposited basket cf clothes on
the platform, and held in her arms child
while little girl hung to her dress. Size
looked tired and weary, but there was no
vacant seat; to be sure Charlotte might
have condensed her founces, but she did
not. Beside her, however. sat a very
lovely and elegant young woman, who
seemed trying, by moving down closer to
others, to make space enough for the stran-
ger between herself and Miss D. At
last she succeeded, and with the sweetest
blush I ever saw, she invited the poor
burdened female to be seated Charlotte
D drew her drapery around her and
blushed at all, and she looked annoyed at
the proximity of the new conner, who was,
however, clean, and decently though thinly
clad
The unknown lady drew the little girl
upon her lap, and wrapped her velvet man
tie around the small, half clad form, and
put her muf over the half frozen little blue
hands.
So great was the crowd that I alone
seemed to observe. The child shivered-
the keen wind from the door blew upon
her unprotected neck. | saw the young
lady quietly draw from under her shawl a
little crimson WOODEN shawl, which she
softly put on the shoulders of the little one.
The mother looked on with confused won
der. After short time she rose to leave
the car, and would have removed the shawl,
but the unknown gently whispered, mo,
keep it for her." The woman did not an
swer, the conductor hurried her out, but
her eyes swan IN tears, which no one saw
but me. noticed her as she descended
to basement, and l hastily marked the
house.
Soon after my unknown also arose to
depart, was in despair, for I wanted to
follow and discover her residence, but
could not leave Miss D.
How glad, then, was to see her bow
ing, as she passed out, to a mutual ac-
quaintance who stood in the doorway
From him, ere many minutes, | had learn
ed her name and address
To shorten the story as much as posi-
ble that lady is my wife. In the small in
cident which introduced her to me she
showed her real character. A few days
after our marriage I showed her the bless
cd crimson shawl, which had redeemed
from its owner, and shall always keep as
memento. There are sometimes pleasant
things to be found even in unexpected
places. Certainly, I may be said to have
picked up my wife in the cars.-LJe H.

PLAY Wanted for Working Men.

Well may the agricultural laborer be
called working man., for truly he does
little else than work. His eating and
sleeping are cut down to the minimum that
shall suffice to keep him in trim for work
ing. And the consequence is, that VIXEN
he does get holiday, he does not know
what to make of himself; and in too many
cases he spends it in getting drunk. I
know places where the working men have
no idea of any play, or any recreation, ex-
cept getting drunk And if their over
wrought wives, who must nurse FIVE or six
children, prepare the meals, tidy the house
in fact, do the work which occupies
three or four servants in the house of the
poorest gentleman-if the poor over
wrought creatures can contrive to find a
blink of leisure through their waking hours,
they know how to make no uobler use of
it than to gossip, rather ill-naturedly, about
their neighbors' affairs, and especially to
discuss the domestic arrangements of the
squire and the parson. Working men and
women too frequently have forgotten how
to play; it is so long since they did it, and
they have SO little heart for it. And God
knows that the pressure of constant care,
and the wolf kept barely at arms length
from the door, do leave little heart for it,
o, wealthy proprietors of land, you Who
have so much in your power, try to infuse
something of JOY and cheerfulness into the
lot of your humble neighbors Frazer 5

MAKE THE Best OF 1T.-A determine
tion to make the best of everything is a
wonderful smoother of the difficulties which
beset US in our probationary scene. In
Peter Pindar's story of the Pilgrims and
the Peas" two fellows upon whom the
penance of walking to certain shrine
with peas in their shoes had been enjoined,
are represented as having performed their
tasks under very different circumstances,
and in very different moods. One of them
having taken the precaution to soften his
peas by boiling them, tripped lightly aud
merrily over the ground the other, who
had not gumption enough to turn his hard
pellets into a poultice by the same pro-
cess, limped and howled all the way. It
is pretty much the same in our pilgrimage
through this .sVale of Tears.I The lmpa-
tient and imprudent travel on hard peas,
the prudent and sagaciOus make them
selves easy in their shoes and run cheer
fully the race that is set before them.
