SERMON BY REV. j.. H. RYLANcE.

-RaH-I-H-Rylanes-ReGt of st. PauIs
church, delivered an able discourse on the
verbs found in Psalms Goth chapter, Sth TO
18th verses:
q bless our God, We people, and make the voice Of
his praise to be heard which holdeth our soul in
life. and sufereth our feet to be moved. For thou
God hast proved us thou hast tried us as silver il
tried. Thou brOughest Us into the net thou lay
edst affection upon our loins. Thou hast caused
men to ride over our heads we went through tire
and water; but thou brOughtest us out into a
wealthy place.
The preacher remarked hat the Hebrew
poets and prophets knee nothing of our
modern refinement between an active and
a permissive providence. To them God was
the great DispOser of all events. They ae-
cordingly take but little heed of secondary
causes The human element in history is
almost wholly ignored by them. Not that
they deny its existence. They recognize the
human will as a power. There is scope for
the play of our accountable liberty in the
method of foods government. But the divine
nature overbears the waywardness OF the
human will, turns evil tendencies and
threatening events toward beneicent ends
and into triumphs for the right" so that
even the wrath of men-is brought TO praise
God. The Hebrews ever recognized the
presence and co-actiOn of these two forces.

divine-have been conspicuOusly at work
in our recent history the former plotting
mischief, the latter subordinating to, and
overruling the mischief for, good. And so
much does the good promise to outweigh
the evil, that it would seem God ordered the
fire but to purify US; that He had led us
through the FIRE Of war and the angry
waters of social c~onvulsion, only that he
might at length "bring us out into a wealthy
place."
He observed, in passing, that no rhetoric
al arts need be used to stir their minds to
deep and devout thankfulness. The bur-
den of our sorrows has been lifted, and we
are here more especially to thank God for
the restoration Of peace. Our other mani
fold blessings eliminated in the one great
blessing of peace.
He dwelt upon the character of this peace:
1t might have been very different from that
which we are permitted TO enjoy. And there
was a time when something very different
would have been welcomed in the general

TAB ATLANTIC CABLE.-The break
which occurred in the Atlantic tele-
graph cable on the Goth ult. was prompt
ly repaired, and everything went on
nicely until noon Of the I'd inst, when
the signals from the Great Eastern began
to grow unintelligible at Valentia and
finally ceased entirely. From that time
until the 4th nothing more was heard
from the ship, and it is feared that the
defect was past repair and that the en-
terprise had proved failure. There is
still a possibility, however, that repairs
could be made so as to go on with the
voyage. and we await with interest later
news from Valentia. But the lapse OF
time between the failure of the signals
and our latest present advices from Va
lentia, leaves but little room for hope
and none for encouragement. On the
morning Of the ID the Great Eastern
had sailed 1850 miles, and 1900 miles OF
the cable had been paid out. She was
then in the deepest part OF the course
over which the cable was pass.

BACKING Down. - The Washington
correspondent of the New York Times
says that the democratic caucus, intend
ed 10 be held in Washington on
Wednesday to pledge the support of
the democratic party to Andy Johnson,
is to be broken up. The concoctors of
the meeting had got it up for purely
selfish purposes, to help them grind some
private axes at the White House. They
have met with i'll success in their
schemes, and now want to hold off their
democratic friends from an Endorsement
OF the Presidents policy until more
propitious moment for their own profits.

THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT
LINCOLN.

The news Of the death Of President Lin
coin ct the hands Of an assassin at the ma,
tions Capital, on The night Of the l4th inst,
fell upon the ears Of our community like n
FIRE bell at night" overwhelming all classes
with the deepest gloom and indignalion.-
We know OF no man, and we are truly re.
joiced 10 record the fact, whose indignation
aud regret was not thoroughly aroused at
this monstrous deed Of Llood-,his tlackes,
deed Of humauy infamy. 1t is passing
strange that there should have been person..
in our State so lost 10 the common feelings
Of humanity and national honor as to have
given vent to feelings Of pleasure and gratifi-
cation on bearing the news Of The assassina
ton. We have the consolation Of knowing
that the number Of persons who thus vouu
tariy assumed the roll Of infamy are very
few and far between. But we would to God|
for the credit Of tue country there had no,
been one.
While in every aspec. Of this sad and de-
p'orabls occurrence We have felt quite rs SEN
sibly as others. we have in some things Gn
common with those who think as we do po
litcaIIy,) felt doubly SO. We are told that
We are politically associated with assassns,
and the party with which we cooperate is
not innocent of the terrible deed that ha>
shrouded the land in mourning aud ,arnisL.
ed natou's honor. We trust this charge
made amid great excitement when sobe'

when the public mind has calmetl down. be

voters in the United S,aus, nearly one half
Of the entire voting population, are not assas

Of sincere grief and sympathy they have
shown n this sad hour of nations bereave-
ment. disproves that they are assassns eilhe,

directly or remote with the perpetrators OF
this monstrous crime.
