For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
Rev. Henry RuRner, D. ..
MINUTE OF THE SYNOD or VIRGINIA.

The Synod would put on record in their
Minutes the mournful fact that on the 18th
day of Dec, 1861, in the Z lat year of his age,
that hOHored and beloved member Of tue
Synod Rev. HENRY RUFFNER, D. D. LII D.,
ceased bis ministry in the Church below,
but we rejoice to believe that on the same
day ne commenced his ministry before the
throne Of God ana the Lamb.
He possessed q very vigorous and well
furnished mind. His literary and scientific
attainwents we're large, varied and accurate
and he vas a sound theoiogian. His love
of learning was SO intense, that By his close
application to study he DO doubt impaired 8
constitution naturally strong.
His eminent qualifications pointed him
cut as man well suited for the instruction
of youth in the higher walks Of learning,
and as Professor aud President of Washing
ton College, he rendered for many years,
valuable service both 10 the Church and to
the State.
But being q man Of fergent piety he loved
to preach Christ and hin crucifsd, which
he did with plainness, and fervency and
power, rightly dividing the word of truth.
And God 60 owned his ministry, that three
precious reviyals Of religion were enjoyed
by the churches to which he minstered; and
there Is no reason to doubt that bis album
dant labors in the last tended to shorten
his life.
His end, we learn, was perfect peace. con-
fdeItly relying on the promises Of the Lord
Jesus, he entered and passed through the
dark valley, fearing no evil, the rod and
staff of his Shepherd comforting him.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1862-10-30

Of the few remaining hours of his life, lit
tie is known. No familiar face bent over
him in his last agony no loving voice sooth-
ed his lonely departure; no tender hand
closed his dying eye:-for although his
father FASTENED to him with all possible
speed, he arrived only TO be shown his grave.
Of this we are sure, notwithstanding: he
was not alone, for the Father of spirits was
with him. Thus much we are permitted to
know. His beloved Captain, Hugh A. White,
was with him on the morning preceding his
death. Turning to the surgeon, Willie asked
il it was possible for him to survive; he re-
ceived a negative answer. Gould you get
letter to nay father ?"-he asked Of Capt.
White. Upon being reminded of the oilli-
Guilty, he acquiesced, and said-"Then will
leave my messages with you" These sacred,
undelivered messages" are forever sealed
up in the bosom Of the noble young leader
who fell, instantly killed, but q few hours
later!
at pace Nth God, and at peace ,oith all
tie loorid," was one of the last expressions
of the beloved lips. But, blessed be God,
we have no need to seek after dying testi
mo0y: We have what is infinitely more con-
Soling-even the precious, unvarying, IiUiag
testimony Of life full of the beauty of holt
ness. And though for us, the world sis
crowded with his loss"-though we mourn
aud must mourn long, the sun gone down
at noon-the rich promise of an unfulilled
career, let us remember with thankful Joy,
that
Death cannot come
To him untimey whois tit to de"
NIP.

Not Yet.

A tradesman actively engaged in the
56F-,;f of Tie ,-0iTJ, .75sr luSJ = Jll gent
success IN his various undertakings. His
business fourisbed and he was enabled to
support large family in comfort. This
thriving man was, on one OCCASION led to
hear o faithful minister of the gospel, and
under lis sermon he was greatly alarmed.
He felt that the gospel was true; his con-
science told him that he was unprepared for
death ; the preacher aA'ectionateIy reminded
his hearers of the danger of delay, and
pointed them to Jesus Christ as the only
and Almighty Saviour. This man was in a
state Of great anxiety; death and judg-
ment, heaven and hell, time and eternity,
were all before his mind. What do YOU sup
pose was his language2 Strange to say, it
was, "Not yet" lie wished a little more
time for sin and the world. Ga leaving
Gods house, he could net forget the SER
mon; it tingled in his ears. lie met his
family, and endeavored to check his fears,
and forget the admonition he had received
The next morning he arose from his bed,
and was soon busy in tho world, but he
could not forget the sermon it seemed to
say, Now is the accepted time;" but his
wicked heart said, Not yet"
a day or two after the Sabbath, the
preacher calleI on his hearer; his very
presence revived the impressions of the SER
mon. The man locked at his business, and
it SAID, Not yet; he looked at his family,
and they said, Not yet;' he looked at his
friends, and they said, Not yet" This
poor convinced, but unchanged man, still
went on in the course that he knew to be
wrong.
Reader, has this little tale led you to, look
at yourself? Has it reminded you of the
manner in which you have trided with God S
truth, with your own SOUL and with eterui
ty7
Are you young? You have heard the
kind invitation, my son, give me thy
heart" What was your reply7 | am
yomg, but will think of eternal things here
after. ." Not yet" was your language
Perhaps it has pleased God to knock again
and again at your hearts, by your sickness,
the death of parent, the loss of sister
or brother, and when your heart appeared
to be softened, the mercihl Saviour said to
you, 'My son, wilt thou not from this time cry
unto me, My father, thou art the guide of
my youth? What has been yonr reply p
mot yet" Take care lest You should ut
ter these words once too often, and ind out,
when it is too late, that your eternal state
is fixed for ever in wo. Yonr language will
not then be, Not yet" but, I" How have
l hated instruction, and my heart despised
reprOof" Prov. v: y.

than he thought. One morning with a
friend, whom he had known only short
time, but who was very dear to him, for he
loved the same blessed Saviour, he knel: in
prayer and rising walked forth together.
A few moments more and they were done
with prayer for ever, for it was changed to
praise. God called them in the storm, and
without moments warning they exchanged
earth for heaven. Their bodies are lying
in the same grave; their happy spirits are,
we doubt not, dwelling together in the same
glorious home. You may be as ready, as
were they, to be called away, lin moment,
in the thinking Of an eYe."

POETRY,
For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
Come Unto Me"

"Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy
sden aud will give you reSt.'-MATT. xi: ..
With fearful eyes look around,
Lie seems a dark and stormy sea;
Yet, midst the gloom hear sound,
a heavenly whisper "Come 10 me-"
1t tells me of place of rest
1t tells me where my soul may flee,
Oh! to the weary, faint, oppressed,
How sweet the bidding, Come 10 me-
When nature shudders, 10th to part,
From all love, enjoy and see,
When a faint chill steals DER my heart,
A sweet voice utters, "C9me to me-"
Come, for all else must fade and die,
Earth is no resting place for thee;
ueavenward direct thy weeping eye,
l am thy portion, "COme to me-
o voice of mercy! voice of love!
In conflict, grief and agony,
Support me, cheer me from above,
And gently whisper Come to me-

LONG Multiplied facts
show that pastors occupying important
spheres of usefulness, should be slow in
changing their fields of labor. Such changes
are often causes for deep regret through all
subsequent life. Not little hazardous is it
for minister of Christ, who has acquired
capital in influence for good over a people
with whom he has labored for years, to at
tempt to remove that capital, with an ex-
pectation of investing it safely and profit
ably elsewhere; he may iud, to his sorrow,
that in the change, his capital is nearly
sunk.

A LESSON FOR THE TnES-At the re.
cent session of the Old School HOpewell
Presbytery, it was
"Resoired, That the ministers of the Pres
bytery be requested to urge upon their re-
sPective charges, that the hardness of the
times will be surely followed by hardness Of
heart, if Gods people make the calamities
that are upon us, and the extraordinary out
lays of money, thought and anxiety, which
these trOublous times daily call for, an ex-
cu8e for withholding our contributions, our
affections, or our prayers from the work of
tins Lord"

AFRAID OF THE CONFEDERATE PRAYERS.
in Lincoln's reply to the memorial of
Christians in Chicago in favor of national
emancipation" he says:
"The rebel soldiers are praying with
great deal more earnestness, | fear, than
cur own troops, and expecting God to favor
their side; for one of our soldiers, who had
been taken prisoner, told Senator Wilson a
few days since, that he met with nothing so
diacOuraging as the evident sincerity of
those he was among in their prayers"

THE CoUNTENANCE.-Amenity of temper
has great effect upon the conntenance.-
1t is q foe to wrinkles of all kinds. A woman
lately died at Peoria, over seventy years of
age, and it is said Ter face was as smooth
and her skin as soft as young girls. But
she was quiet, tranquil-hearted creature.
Care never troubled her, and she had never
been known to frown. Verify indeed,
How noseless falls the foot of Time,
When it only treads on flowers"

The Weeping Crowds at Trenton.

The melting stories of Gen. McClel-
lan's besiegment at Trenton, by weeping
crowds of sympathizers, gathered from
all parts of the country to testify their
alteration of the decapitated hero, and
their indignation towards the blood
thirsty administration, is thus quietly
exploded by the Trenton Gazette
A number of gentlemen from different
parts of the state as well as from
other states, have called upon Gen,
Mcclellan, but the absurd reports Of
crowds rushing here from all directions
are entirely unfounded An inspection
of the hotel register will show that there
has been no unusual number Of strangers
in Treton during the week. In fact, the
curiosity to see the general seems TO be
very limited, and a stranger visiting
Trenton would not, from anything visible,
imagine that there was any unusual in
terest manifested or that any "distin-
guished stranger" was in our midst
