DEAD. YET LIyISG.-The cedar is most useful
when dead. 1t is the most productive when it's
place knows it no more. There is no timber
like it. Firm in the grain, and capable Of the
finest polish, the tooth OF no insect will touch IT,
and Time himself can hardly destroy it. Diff
fusing perpetual fragrance through the cham
bers which it cells, the worm will not corrode
the book which it protects, nor the moth corrupt
the garment which it guards all but immortal
itself, il trausfuses its amaranthine qualities to
the objects around it. Every Christian is useful
in his life, but the goodly cedars are the most
useful afterwards. Luther is dead, but the Re-
formation lives. Knox, Melville, and Henderson
are dead, but Scotland still retains Sabbath
and a Christian peasantry, Bible in every
house, and school in every parish Bunyan is

GEN. MLRIos's OPINION OF Sourn CAROLINA.

well TO account for Secession and the attendant

The people Of Carolina form two classes-the
itch and the poor. The rich, who have slaves tn
do all their work, give them no employment
Unsupported by the rich, they continue poor and
low spirited. The little they get is laid out in
brandy-uot in books and newspapers; hence
they know nothing OF the comparative blessings
Of our country, ntr Of the dangers which threat
EN- it; therefore they care nothing about 1t.
The rich are generally very rich-alrail to stir

REV. DIR. STEELE ON FAsT-pAY.

The Rev. Samuel Steele, D. D., for twenty
FIVE years pastor Of the old school Presbyterian
church in Hllsborough, Ohio, preached sermon
on fast-day, in which he does not entirely har-
monte with the Rev. Mr.. Van Dyke Of Brooklyn,
DR.. Steele says:
The most eminent of the founders of our I'm
ion understood this subject we'll, for many Of
them were shareholders all their days Yet they
left on record their marked disapproval Of the
institution-their regret that it was fastened On
TEN by British rule and their desire for its ter
mination as soon as practicable, consistently
with the safety Of both classes There would
seem to have been entire agreement on this sub
iect among all the leaders of the land. Wash.
ington declared himself in favor Of emancipation
by the law, and showed his sincerity by be-
queathing freedom to his own slaves Indeed
nearly all the South, ut that time, US we'll as those
in the North, regretted the existence of slavery
as great imperieotion in cur social state, AMI
AN anomaly in n country Boosting of its freedom,
while they justified such masters as were in
volyed iu it-yet showed kindness to their SER
vnnts-ony by reason Of their providential
circumstances. They made proper distinction
between the moral character of the system-in-
Guiding the laws which lead to, and permit
without check, the evils already alluded to. aud
the moral character Of the master---who becomes
such generally by nheritance-when he is will
lug to DO the best for his slaves that his oircum-
stances permit.
Those old time worthless left on record no eulo-
gies Of the institution as inherently excellent
and righteous, aud therefore worthy OF being
nourished and perpetuated to the latest genera
tion of mon! This position is Of modern origin
the offspring of nelo light-and, like other
novelties, is highly exciting to the mind, leading
its advocates. alas to contend for the breaking
up of our Union, at the imminent risk of a de
structive civil war, the effect of which, upon
both masters and slaves, no man can iortell -
We should pray for such persons, that God may
give them wisdom, and direct them TO the things
that make for pence.
