Bishop Colenso

of the Church OF England having i'm
bibed certain pro-slavery notions, has re-
Gently written two large books to prove
that the Bible is not of divine origin.
The Episcopal Register, New York, says:
Last week we spoke of the recent
meeting of ConyocatiOn, and the leading
measures introduced, relating chiefly to
increase of the home EpiseOpate, and to
the course of Bishop Colenso.
We scarcely need add, that, with few
exceptions, the verdict is entirely unfa-
vorable to the Bishop His second vol
ume will do but little harm, for the good
reason that the infidel tone of the Bish-
ops mind is much more apparent in it,
than it was in the first. He appears IN 1t
in the character of a confessed Deist.
The Times hes only expressed the
OPT nion of every man of sense, as well as
of every scholar, when 1t says, Now
there is no doubt--and it is necessary to
say it at once-Dr. COlsnsO's is Verg fool
isk book" The Times makes some pun
gent remarks on the selection of such
man for Bishop:
IF it would add a recommendation
that candidates for conservation should be
examined in the Holy Scriptures, it would
provide against recurrence of this unto
ward affair"
The Literary Chrchman, Episcopal, thus
speaks of Bishop ColensO's Book:
The disbelievers in all religion have cir
culated his book with eagerness, and have
began to show signs of dissatisfaction,
after all, at what seems to them the dis
honesty of an Episcopal coadjutor. In
the mean time, the Church of England
has not moved against him. One
bishop has forbidden him to officiate in
his diocese.
1t is refreshing thing to see the alac-
ritv with which ali ranks among us rise
up to defend their Bibles; and if the
choicest weapons are not always selected,
nor the legitimate defenders 'oaited for,
we may deeply rejoice that an abnormal
occasion like the present arouses every
body-for, truly it is everybody's con-
Germ. 1t was said, in Athanasius's day,
that in times of extremity, the defence
of faith devolves on all-young and old,
weak and strong: and, surely, ours are
days of both peril and disgrace. The
Church of Rome. in the eighteenth cen
tury, allowed Voltare TO preach her doe
trines in a cathedral Will the Church of
England, in the nineteenth century, re-
verse this. and allow a bishop to preach
'.Voltairism" in her name ?-Literary

Peace BabblerS

The n. y. Christian Times, Episcopal,
thus speaks of the babblers about peace +:
The almost universal desire is to see
the suppression of the rebellion by force
of arms, the only remedy while the rebel
chiefs are able to control and coerce the
Southern population. The great public
meeting in New York, at which Demo
Gratis and Republicans We'd with each 9th.
er in pledges of devotion to the duties OF
the hour, was a most significant indica-
ton of the popular drift. The few poll
ticans who babbleabou peace in the pres
ence of this iniquitous rebellion, exert
no influence on the public mind. Two
months ago, much anxiety was felt, but
never was the resolution of the Amerl-
can people so firm as now. There IS a
general acquiescence in the legislation OF
Congress so far us its war measures are
concerned. That the people should
heartily approve the acts which invest
the President with such extraordiary
powers, proves how much in earnest they
are, and how determined to suppress the
at all hazards, and at any cost
of life and treasure.

No hand of art is there to tell
no slumbers with the dead
No tributes of affections
Are raised above that grave.

His country's rights to save.
No gentle hand to plant sweet flowers
Above that lonely spot.

He cannot be forgot:
unknown, alone, aud far from home,
They've given him bel:
Though weeds and grass but cover il,
1t holds patriot dead
A patriot! yes. though young IN years.
His heart did never falter
To lay down all, e'en life itself
Upon his country altar;
His Wartare'S FER and now he SleeDs
And well he's done Lis part.
But oh within that grave i laid
The hope of many heart
For his sisters sit all silently
With tears they cannot smother.
Mourning for their cherished one
Their youngest darling brother
For ah twas not their precious task
10 catch his dying breath,
To hear him gasp one sweet farewell
From lips now cold in death.
To close the eyes, TO fold the hands
Across the peaceful breast,
To kiss the pale lifeless face.
And lay him down TO rest
Oh, no the youthful martyr died
Amid the battle din,
With few to wipe the death damp brew.
With few to weep for him
Then stranger when you pass his grave
Don't move with careless tread,
TWOuld wound the hearts OF those at home,
Though il cannot hurt the dead.
