For the Spectator.


Mr.. EDITOR There was in New Hope Sun
day School celebration on the 23rd of Sept. of
which wish to give you some account The day
was delightful and there large crowd as
sembled at the Church. The procession formed
by the Union Of the Sunday School at New Hope,
with the School at Pleasant Grove was very large.
1t marched through the Street of the town under
the direction of Mr.. A. S. Pierce, and soon all
were quietly and comfortably seated in thelchurch.
The company was then addressed by w. 0. Ross,
Esq. The claims and interests of Sunday Schools
were set forth in one the most forcible addresses
| have ever listened to on the subject. I could
not help wishing that every one interested in such
schools were there to hear it. After the address
came most magnificent dinner There was
erything on the long table that could tempt the
appetite. began to wonder that anybody ever
thought of the people starving Of course our
thanks were due the ladies or all these good
things The company were again assembled in
the church and the exercises were closed with
prayer by the Rev. Mr. Myers.

About fortnight since there was an exten.
sive mutiny among the colored troops on the
transport steamers at City Point, Va, and
Fortress Monroe. They refused to be TAX
en- South, and threatened TO shoot any who
might attempt to compel them. 1t was
found difficult to get control over them,
which was done only by piece of strategy
on the part Of the officers, and they remain
ed rebellious to the last. Another case has
since occurred. The Richmond CONNER
cial Bulletin says /: "The Second United
States Colored Cavalry mulinied on board O
steamer lying at the wharf in Portsmouth
on Tuesday evening. They took possession
of the vessel, refused TO allow it to leave
and next morning went ashore armed, and
ran riot through the town. White troop;
were summoned from various quarters; Gen
Graham took command of them and sooT
oyerpowered the blacks, and drove then
aboard ship, where preparation had beer
made for them. They were then disarme(

APHORISM

A peasant may justly believe what phi
losopher cannot explain. For example,
philosophers puzzle themselves exceedingly
to say wherein consists the identity Of hu-
man being, taken only at short intervals Of
time; but the most ignorant man knows that
his neighbor, whom he has seen frequently
for sixty or eighty years, is the same man
that he was at first. So it is with many
points Of common belief, or even of relig-
ious faith; an ignorant man may have the
certainty of truth about them, while the
learned are frittering away all proper
thoughts of the same, and depriying them
aelves of the most real advantages offered
them, The unlearned passes safely over a
bridge, while the speculative man refuses
10 cross till he knows the history of the
structure, and gets more than the evidence
Of the senses that II is there at all.
Now the truth is, the principle of faith,
or the habit of resting upon testimony, is
one that ought to 60 much farther with man,
kind than any merely rational calculator
will allow. Reason has its own sphere, and
that most important one; bu! where ques.
tions of ontology or substantive being are
concerned, we must walk in great meas
ure by faith ultimately faith in God.

OUR OWN CoNsEouENCE.

We think Of our own consequence; our
talents, our entertainments. We think
what q breach will be made when we die.
We think OF the mourners who will gather
around us with broken hearts. We think
Of the solemn, sad procession that will go
with us TO the tomb: forgetting how seldom
it is that the hearts Of any considerable pro-
portion in funeral procession are serious
and solemn at all, or care anything about
the dead. We look at our own affairs and
press them forward, as il every thing else
should give way TO them, and as if the
world had no interest SO great that they
may not be required to yield 10 our conve-
nienoe:
Now, show contrary all this is to truth
and reality, it is hardly necessary to at
tempt to show. Few will care about it
when we die; and the world at large will
care nothing, and know nothing about it.
A very little circle Of friends will be
affected-as little circle of water is agita-
ted when drop of rain falls into the ocean.
AT the center of that small circle Of friends,
there will be some deep emotion, and some
tears of genuine grief will be shed; at a
very little distance, the emotion will be
fainter and feebler, at point but little
more remote there will be none, and soon,
very soon ell the agitation there was will
have died away as when the little drops Of
ram fall into the ocean
The gay will laugh,
When thou art gone, the solemn brood of care
Plod on and each one as before will share
His favorite phantom.-Bryant.
A few friends will 60 and bury us; and
then they will turn away to their own con-
Germs, forgetting that we are sleeping in the
grave. Affection will rear stone, and
plant few flowers over our grave-but
the hand that reared the stone or planted the
flowers will soon become unable 10 cut the
letters deeper as they become obliterated or
to cultivate the foweis-and in brief pc
rod the little hillock will be smoothed down,
and the stone will fall, and neither friend
nor stranger will be concerned 10 ask which
one Of the forgotten millions Of the earth
was buried there. No "Old Motality'
will go 10 cut again those effaced words
which told our name, and the time of our
birth and our death. Every vestage tina,
we ever lived upon the earth will have van
ished away. All the little memorials ol
our remembrance lock of hair en-
cased in gold, or the portrait that hung il
our dwelling, will cease to have the slight.
est value to any living being, nor will ever
momsntary curiosity be excited to know
who wore that hair, or whose countenarc,
is delineated there.
On my grassy grave,
The men of future time will careless tread,
And read my name upon the sculptured stone;
Nor will the sound familiar TO their ars
Recall my vanished memory.-H. Kirk While.
Il Rev. Albert Barnes.
