To Presbyterians in Kentucky-As tn

To Presbyterians in Kentucky.-As the
Central Presbyterian circulates to some extent
in Kentucky, we should, before now, have
called the attention of our subscribers there tc
the fact that Mr. A. Davidson, of Louisville
keeps on hand supply of the books Of
our Committee Of Publication, and that by
sending to him they may procure a Catalogue
and also the publications themselves.
And, while speaking of this, we must take
occasion to say that when in Louisville a short
time ago, we saw in Mr. DaUi1Son's bookstore
valuable collection of standard works in
theology, and good miscellaneous literature.
May we be allowed to remind our Presby.
terrain friends in Kentucky that good book
store is treasure to any community? A
gentleman who conscientiously excludes trash
and provides wholesome truth, is public bene-
factor, and deserves substantial support
Would it not be wrong done to Presbyterian
DEMONSTRATING personal interests out of
yiew-if deserving enterprise, like this,
should lack the help which may be so easily
extended, and cause its prosperity to be in
creased four-fold?

The cart" of Giving.

The New Orleans Methodist Christian Ad.
uocate has very good article on this subject.
1t notices the action Of the North Carolina
Conference in pronouncing members who neg
lect to make reasonable contributions as proper
subjects of discipline, and says:
Besides the faith which was involved in
the burnt-oHering and thank-oferings in the
Levitical system, there was considerable cost.
Il will not offer burnt-oHerings without cost. "
l Chr. nri.
Those types have given place to the offering
once for all and upon that faith now fastens,
not as the more economical Precipitation, but
as the more costly, upon Him who though
rich, for oursakes became poor. 1t is impos-
sible to realize by faith that Gift of God,
without feeling the grace Of self-sacrifcing
liberality The man who does not give to
Christ, does not know Christ. Iaoas an hun
CRED and lie gaze me no meat, fixes the condi-
ton and religious status of thousands of Meth
opists. So great should be, is, the impulse to
serve Christ in the hearts of the truly convert
ed, that there is with them constant enquiry
and desire to give even beyond ability. That
urging from any quarter should be thought
necessary, Is an entire misconception of exper-
mental piety.
TO give an idea of how great an art has been
lost it will be seen by calculation that the
large sum of 81 500, 900, recently raised by the
Centenary movement of Northern Methodism,
did not equal 50 per member; yet to raise it,
one man gave half million, and several gave
over 5000 each. Whoever can bring back,
or discover the way to collect regularly, at in
tervals Of one week, any given sum, from every
member of the church, will have done more
for the benefit of mankind than James Watt
did by inventing the steam engine. This great
problem must have forced itself upon the at
tention Of Mr.. Wesley. And we think he
came nearer solving it than any one has since
his day. He divided his people into small

For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN
CIRCULAR

To the Ministers and Church Sessions of the
Presbyterian Church an the United States
DEAR BRETHREN,-It is made my duty by
the General Assembly, to call your attention
to the annual collection ordered by that ven
cradle court, to be taken up in all our churches
on the first Sabbath of March, on behalf of
the Committee of Publication If the collec-
ton cannot be taken up on that day, then it is
to be taken up on the most convenient Sab
bath thereafter
A few words are all that is necessary for me
to say, to impress on the minds of our Chris
tan people the great Importance of the inter
ests entrusted to this Committee. The sup
plying of our destitute Sabbath Schools and
Churches with books, the printing and distri-
button of books among our colored people,
adapted to their peculiar wants. and the print
ing of the various books ordered by the Gene
raj Assembly, are all pressing necessities.
Moreover, it is the purpose of the Commit
tee, in accordance with the direction of the
Assembly, to appoint book agents to carry our
books to the doors OF our people, and distrib-
ute them to the destitute, SO soon as the funds
are furnished by the Church. The Presbyte-
ries at their approaching meetings will doubt.
less recommend to the Committee agents for
this purpose in various parts of the Church :;
and it is greatly to be desired that the Com
mittee should be furnished with the means to
enter vigorously on this great work. This can
| be done if all our churcles will act in this
matter, according to the injunction Of the
General Assembly. The Committee has been
much crippled, during the past year, by the
want Of funds, in large part occasioned by the
general apathy which has prevailed on the
subject in most parts of our Church. Besides
what was raised as the result of special eff
fort made by the undersigned in the cities Of
the Southwest, one year ago, and three OF
four liberal donations by benevolent individu-
ais, the whole Church only contributed little
over 81, 1000.
Our congregations make the mistake Of
thinking that because they are not able to give
as literally as formerly, it is not important fol
them to give at ALL But as little drops fill
the fountains, and small rils make the mighty
rivers, SO the small contributions Of our pow
erty-stricken people cast into the treasury Of
the Lord, and gathered from every part of the
Church, would soon place the means at hand
for accomplishing the whole work which the
Church has given us to do. Besides, the
Lord loveth the cheerful giver" 1t is not the
amount, which we give, but the spirit of self
denial and faith in which it is given, that Sc
cures Gods favor. Therefore let no church
and RIO person fail to contribute, but remember
the Scriptural injunction to give " as the Lore
hath prospered."
Brethren, it is your work, and the work o
our common Master. Our prayer is that HI
may put it into your hearts to give with {
generous hand, so that the wants of His poo
may be supplied, and so that you may enjoy
the rich reward of the liberal giver.

Gen. Assembly's Sec'ry of Publication.

Albert s. Johnston and Henry W. Allen

A writer in the Presbyterian Inder gives a
touching account of the recent funerals in
New Orleans of these distinguished men:
"The heart of this large community was
deeply stirred by two events which occurred
gt 5Sha 1se sad 81 hsaas Alton Gsag
raj Johnston died at the battle of Shiloh. A
bullet cut one of the small arteries of the leg
he refused to retire long enough to have it
attended to- and bled to death in the saddle.
His body was inferred here, and melancholy
interest attaches to those remains from the
fact that his tomb was broken open by General
B. f. Butler. His adopted State of Texas
sent committee of citizens to remove his re-
mains for burial to her own soil, and vast
body of citizens followed the hearse to the boat
which conveyed the coffin across the river
One of our dailes estimates the number OF
people on the wharf when the boat left at ten
thousand.
On the next day the remains of Governor
Allen arrived from Mexico, where he had died
selfexiled from the land he loved The noble
patriotism of this brave man almost reaches
the sublime, and is theme which future poets
will consider worthy of their song His re-
mains were carried yesterday for interment to
the Lafayette Cemetery, followed by an i'm
mense multitude, composing procession TWO
miles long. A very interesting feature of both
these professions was the large number of Ia
dies who followed the hearse. Almost every
one who was able to do SO, young maiden OF
venerable matron, considered it privilege to
pay this living homage to the memory of the
departed, and through the whole march OF
more than two miles without faltering they
kept the ranks.
Another feature was the entire absence of
any of the ordinary pageants which are asso-
ciated with such scenes There were no dra-
peries, flags nor martial music
No bugle note was heard,
No sound of muf1ed drum,
But in silence and in sadness
We bore them to the tomb
The measured tramp Of feet was the only sound
that broke the Sabbath stiffness. 1t seemed
scarcely procession of living things, but
rather of dying memories and the spectres of
buried hopes, and so the spectacle left on the
mind feeling of deep solemnity and abiding
sadness"

The Richmond Eclectic. city ex
changes, and others in various parts of the
country, have given favorable notices of thi:
magazine. The Enquirer says:
eve feel very lively interest in the success
of the Richmond Eclectic Magazine, and inits
wide circulation among our people. In the
choice of its contents, the whole range of the
higher grades of foreign magazine literature
is placed under contribution. OF one capita
advantage the reader is secure: No sectariar
tenets nor sectional prejudices are allowed 8
place in the Eclectic. He may turn its pages
therefore, without risk of offence or insult
which is true of almost nothing published be-
tween us and the Arctic.
The editors of the Eclectic are admirably
qualified for their posts, both by their erudi
ton, their literary tastes and their industry
Their publication has grown in favor with each
successive number, and the most cordial ap
probation of their labors and their peculiar
merits, and the warmest sympathy in theil
success have been expressed to them by the
scholars and readers of the South. In these
we very heartily join. "

of the Central Presbyterian has it in view to
prepare brief memoir of his deceased brother
above mentioned. 1t is designed chiefly for

facts and incidents of his life which may be
