Ma. EDToR In your paper Of the
a7th notice an article which came under
the head Of advertisements. am glad that
It cane under that head, for It was unworthy
Of any other place in your paper. The pur-
port Of the article was malicious onset
upOa Professor Cowlss, Of 0berlin, simply
because he (lIr. COWles) out Of pure Chris
tisn motive denounced in a speech, some two
months ago, an insult which had been heaped
upon some gentlemen of color by MI.
Palmer, hotel keeper of that town. do
not propose to go into elaborate reply to the
article which noticed in your paper, but so
great was my astonishment to find that in
times like these, when every one should be
actuatod by motive higher than that of in
juring his fellow man, that there was one so
depraved in his nature, that he would stoop
sufficiently low to put on the garb of ludif-
Gator for the purpose of hiding the sins of a
sinner, and placing blotohes upon the un-
blemished character of Christian. Al
ready too long has the struggle in arms,
which has to a great extent grown out Of
this prejudice of caste, lasted in this country
Already has too much blood been poured
out upon the altar of this country for its pu-
rihcation, for men treacherous in heart, and
blind to every sense of humanity, to be al
lowed to poison the minds of the people by
feeding them upon such false statements as
we've contained in that advertisement of your
paper. 1t is unnecessary for me to explain the
motive that prompted the honored Professor
and the friends of OberIin, to express their
disapprovaI of the insult which Mr.. Palmer
had heaped upon gentleman, because his
skin was not white as his own. For all who
know anything Of 0berlin and its Professors,
are aware that nothing but the most pure
motive would have actuated them to de-
nounce an act which was not only a breach
of Ofetiquette, and q violation Of, the laws of hu-
manity, but an insult to God. Man cannot
help his color God made him with the Pc
culiar tinge he wears, and woe be unto the
aPologizer of him who turns his fellow-man
from his door On account of the color Of his
skin.
I am glad that the author of the article had
sufficient self-respeet to admit that he was
not up to oberlin's standard of Christianity,
for if oberlin was not any further advanced
in Christianity than he was, my prayer
should be that the pity of God would rest
upon it.
refrain from taking further notice of the
article. But my advice to Viator, as the
author calls himself, is, that before he dis
plays further his audncity to heap odium
upon the Professors of Oberlin, that he will
ascertain facts for himself, and not depend
upon the lame and false statements of
friend. MODERATOR.

Economy of Human Life.

THE peace Of society dependeth on justice,
the happiness Of individuals on the certain
enjoyment Of all their possessions.
Keep the desires of thy heart, therefore,
within the bounds of moderation; let the hand
ofjnstice lead them Alright
Cast not an evil eye on the goods of thy
neighbor; let what ever is his property be sa-
cred from thy touch.
Let no temptation allure, nor any provoca-
ton excite thee to lift up thy hand to the haz-
ard of his life.
Defame him not in his character; bear no
false witness against him.
Corrupt not his servant to cheat or forsake
him; and the wife of his bosom; o tempt not
to sin.
1t will be grief to his heart, which thou
canst not relieve; an injury to his life, which
no reparation can atone.
In thy dealings with man be impartial and
just; and do unto them as thou wouldst they
should do unto thee.
Be faithful to thy trust; and deceive not the
man that relieth upon thee: be assured it is
less evil in the sight of God to steal, than to
betray.
Cypress not the poor; and defraud not o,
his hire the labOring man.
When thou selIest for gain, hear the whis-
perings of conscience; nor from the ignorance
of the buyer make advantage to himself
Pay the debts which thou owest; for he who
gave thee credit. relied upon thy honor; and
to withhold from him his due is both mean and
unjust.
Finally o son ofsociety examine thy heart
call remembrance to thy aid, aud, if in any of
these things thou fndest thou hast transgres-
sed take sorrow or shame to thyself and make
speedy reparation to the utmost OF thy power

John B. Weller and unnls Abe.

While in Washington we heard good story
in regard to Uncle Abe and John B. Weller,
" the Mexican killer. "
Weller was at Washington settling his ac-
counts as Minister to Mexico. After their
adjustment, lie concluded topay his respects to
Mr.. Lincoln with whom he had served in Con-
gress. He called at the Presidential mansion
and was courteOusly received.
Mr.. President, said COL Weller, I have
called to say to you that must heartily en-
dOrse the conservative position you have as
sumed, and will stand by you so long as you
prosecute the war for the preservation Of the
Union and Constitution.
"CoL Weller, said the President, II am
heartily glad to hear you say this.
Yes, Mr.. President, said Weller, q desire
au appointment to aid in this work.
What do you want, Colonel2" asked Abe.
"I desire to be appointed Commodore in
the Navy, said Weller.
The President replied, Colonel, did not
think you had any experience as a sailor.
"I never had, Mr.. President, said Weller.
but judging from the Brigadier Generals
you have appointed in Ohio, the less expe-
rience a man has the higher position he attains.'
Lincoln turned off with ahearty laugh and
said-T owe you one, Colonel "-Ssaseo i'd
