from the San Antonio Herald Of the 18th
inst,
From DrL NoRTr,-Maj, Frazier,
who left this city recently in charge
90 Gen. knox's train, carrying arms
and ammunition for the government
of Chihuahua, returned home again
yesterday, having made a worry
quick trip, in which he was entirely
unmolosted by Indians. 1t rained
on him all the way going up, while
the weather was fine coming back,
allowing him TO return in twenty
one days from Presidio dol Norte.
He reports money plenty at the lat
ter place. In regard to politics the
people don't dare TO say much but
they are generally Ortega sympa-
thizer's and opposed to Juarez.
INDIANs,-We have news of an
other Indian raid far into the into
rior. Last Wednesday two men
were killed by Indians, on the Gal
linas, about thirty miles south of
San Antonio, in Atascosa county.
The party of Indians, supposed to
have been Kickapoos, conversed in
Spanish with n woman at rancho,
near which they committed their
depredations. Cattle were h o t
down in her sight.
The Lavaca Commercial has a
letter from DR.. Holmes, now in
williamsburg, New York, from
which it learns that he is making
active preparations for putting up
his beef-packing establishment in
that place, having purchased and
loaded brig with barrels, &c. He
will be out as soon as he deems it
safe to come with his men.

manifest willingness to aid US in this
work. Any donations which he may re-
ceive will be appropriated according to
the wishes of the donors, but where no
special object is expressed, it will be en-
ployed in the printing and gratuitous
distribution of books among the desti-

Schools. The sum of $4,000 is much
needed Immediately for these purpo -es,
and it is greatly to be hoped that this sum
will be speedily secured within and with

Brethren, we have thus briefly and dis
tinctly set before you the plans and pur-
poses of this Committee, in execution of
the ordinances of the General Assem-
bly,. 1t requires, not only firm faith in
God, but spirit of fidelity to our own
duties in our respective spheres, to ena-
bic us to hope-to accomplish these great
results. But if pastors and other min
listers faithfully instruct the people; if
church sessions and boards of deacons
see that every person in their respective
congregations has an opportunity to give;
and if occasional supplies sent to the
vacant churches in like manner prove
faithful in presenting this cause to them;
the work will be done, even in the midst
of our poverty, to the glory of Gods
name, the good of the Church for which
we love to labor and pray, and the in
struction, and by Gods blessing, the
salvation of the ignorant and the perish

The Eternal Word.

No fragment of an army ever survived
so many battles as the Bible; no citadel
ever withstood so many sieges; no rock
was ever battered by so many hurricanes
and SO swept by storms. And yet it
stands. 1t has seen the rise and down.
fall of Daniels four empires. Assyria
bequeaths few mutilated figures to the
riches of our National Museum. Media
and Persia, like Babylon which they con-
quered, have been weighed in the balance
and long ago found wanting. Greece
family survives in its historic fame:
"Tis living Greece no more;" and the
iron Rome of the Caesars is held in pre-
carious occupation by feeble hand.
And yet the Book that foretells all this,
still survives. While nations, kings,
philosophers, systems, institutions, have
died away, the Bible engages now mems
deepest thoughts, is examined by the
keenest intellects, stands revered by the
highest tribunals, is more read, and sift-
ed, and debated, more devoutly loved
and more vehemently assailed, more de-
Tended, and more denied, more industri-
ously translated and freely given to the
world, more honored and more abused,
than any other book the world ever saw.
1t survives all changes, itself unchanged;
it moves all minds, yet is moved by none;
it sees all things decay, itself incorrupti-
BILE; it sees myriads of other books in
quilted in the stream of time, yet it is
borne along triumphantly on the wave;
and will be borne along, till the mystic
angel shall plant his foot upon the sea
and swear by Him that liveth forever
and ever, that time shall be no longer.
"For all flesh is as grass, and all the
glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth, and the flower
thereof falleth away; but the Word of
the Lord endureth forever"

And then little water-eruse to find

The Echoed Prayer.

The natural world is full of beautiful
parallels, yet in the action of all its laws
nothing could be more beautiful, and
suggestive of Divine and angelic sympa
thy, than the following incident:
On beautiful morning, not long since,
I entered the house of God where Chris
tians met daily to spend little time in
prayer before engaging in the business
of the day.
According to a suggestion made in a
previous meeting, the subject for which
prayer was offered that morning was the
conversion of children and youth; and
the many requests from mothers and
Sabbath school teachers for the prayers
of Gods people in behalf of their dear
ones, proved that loving hearts were as
keenly alive to the welfare of the chill
dren, as when Jewish mothers brought
their little ones to Christ.
A person near one of the galleries
arose and offered prayer. AS his thanks
givings went up for the "showers of
blessings God had already poured upon
the young in so many places, and as he
earnestly pleaded for still greater mer-
cies, every word was echoed as distincly
as though some human voice were re-
peating the words of the speaker.
1t was simple thing-that echo; but
it thrilled my very soul; for, as listened,
it almost seemed voice from the far-oif
court of heaven, echoing that prayer in
the ear of Him "from whom all blessings
fow."
Obi if ever prayer finds an echo in
the heart of Him who, when on earth.

unto Me-" it must be when in the arms

For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
" Vital Goodness, By w S. Plumer, D. D

This book deserves a place beside
Guthrie's Christians Great Interest, and
Alexander's Christian Experience The
first part of it is delineation of Gods
gracious dealings with the soul in awak-
ening it to a sense of its danger, and
leaving it to rejoice in hope of the glory
of God. The latter part consists of a
series of essays or discourses on the
graces in the Christian soul. The whole
book is worthy of attentive perusal, but
the first part is pre- emihently worthy of
regard. A work on experimental reli-
gion is very timely at this precise period.
Hopes have been crushed, fortunes lost,
sorrow and mourning entered every house,
particularly our Southern land. How ap-
propriate then to have our attention
called to hopes that will never be blight
ed, to an Inheritance that never fades
away, to land where they shall obtain
JOY and gladness, and sorrow and sigh
ing shall forever flee away.
1t is a great mistake to imagine that
state of doubt as to the question wheth-
er or not ave are in the faith, is. more
conducive to safety, and leads to more
practical religious earnestness, than a
state of assurance. While assurance is
not of the essence of faith, yet a state
of doubt is not desirable on its own ac-
count. If we could always say, 81
know whom have believed" we would
feel more deeply the obligations we are
under to Jesus dying love, and would
be more earnest to endeavor to pay the
inextinguishable debt of love we owe.
The chief value of book such as the
one whose title stands at the head of this
article. is that it helps us to read our
title clear, to the inheritance beyond the
skies. As the Christian reader peruses
it, he exclaims: "that is precise de-
ineation of my own feelings; if that is
true account of the way the Spirit
leads the sons of God, 1 may indeed then
indulge the hope that am a child Of
God" The very next sentiment then is,
"Lord what wilt thou have me to do. "
Thus experience leads to practice. And
where the former is clear and deep, there
will be a resoluteness and earnestness
about the latter far greater than when
our sky is overspread by doubts.
Have all the brethren who obtained a
copy of this excellent book gratis at
Synod, read it? If not let them do so,
and if so, let them send it round in the
congregations under their charge, and on
its mission, it will brighten many an eye,
and cheer many heart.
