ENTERED INTO REST.

On Monday morning, the 23d instant, Mrs.
SUSAN MORTON HoGE, the wife Of the Rev.
NJ. d. Hoge, D. D., peacefully slept in Jesus.
She was in the 44th year of her life.
Her father was James D. Wood, of Prince
Edward county, Va. The name of her mother
was Fanny Watkins. They were both among
the excellent of the earth, walking in all the
commandments and ordinances of the Lord
blameless. ~
What Mrs. Hoge was in every relation of
life-how gentle and kind, how full of mel
cy and good fruits" let all bear witness who
knew and loved her so well. Patient and
submissive to the divine will in many deep
trials, and in the extreme sufferings under
which this mortal life was closed-with a
heart full of 1.-The peace of God which passeth
all understanding" our beloved sister has de-
parted from home on earth, of which she
was the light and the joy, to that home letter
nal in the heavens, where the inhabitant
shall not say, 1 am sick, and where there
shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor
crying, neither shall there be any more pain ;
tor the former things are passed away"
Let one expression, selected out of many
held in precious remembrance, signify to
friends and kindred far and near, how fully
she kneU uhom she had believed: :" have
laid my hand in the hand of my Saviour, and
am willing He should lead me in just such a
way as seems good in his sight"

Synod of North Carolina.-A member of
this SYNOD promises an account of the meet
ing at Wilmington in time for next week In
the meantime, we learn from gentleman
present that about so members were in atten-
dance, and that the meeting was throughout
very harmonious and the proceedings such
as were well suited to edify the Church.
The Rev. Duncan D. McBryde was chosen
Moderator, Rev. Messrs. Rumple and Vass,
Clerks.
Drs. J. L. Wilson and E. 7. Baird were pro.
SENT and addressed the Synod and congrega-
ton, the former upon the subjects of Foreign
Missions and Sustentation, the latter in regard
to Publication and Education. On the SUBJ
iect last named DR.. Hammer also was heard
These addresses were received with deep in
terest, and it is hoped that happy impressions
we're made, the fruit of which will be found
not many days hence. Much time of the
Synod was devoted to the great work of for
warding the enterprises OF our Church.
DIR. Hammer will Immediately enter upon his
labors in behalf of the cause of Education in
the Presbytery OF Concord.
A collection for Education was taken up
amounting to over 5000.

Visits of our Secretaries.

The Editor of the Presbyterian Inder was
present at the meeting of the Synod of Missis
sippi, and refers to the favorable impressions
made by the visits of our Secretaries to such
bodies. We have no doubt of the correctness
of his opinion, He says:
"There was not much important business
brought before the Synod, and the time of
the body was chiefly occupied in hearing state
ments from Dr. j. Leighton Wilson and DR..
Il. Il. Baird, with reference to the important
interests entrusted to their hands, and by the
Rev. DR.. w. s. Plumer concerning the con
dition and prospects of the Theological Semi
nary at Columbia These brethren have been
able this year, to meet with three or four of
the Synods, during brief absence from their
homes. Having met them at the Synods,
those of Alabama and Mississippi, am con
vinced that their visits to these ecclesiastical
bodies have been beneficial to the causes which
they respectively advocated, profitable, and
certainly very pleasant to the members of the
Synods. Whether it would be advisable for
the Assembly's Secretaries to meet with as
many of the Synods every year as they can
reach may be doubtful; but timely visit may
be made the occasion of much good. The Sc
cretaries may print circulars and send them
out, and they certainly are useful; but a few
earnest words spoken, few facts stated with
a manifest feeling of their import, will out.
weigh whole ream Of circulars There are
constantly recurring proofs that our Lord, in
infinite wisdom, chose the foolishness of preach
ing as his method of saving them that believe. "

For THE CENTRAL PREsBYTERlAN.
A Revival and its Means.

1t occurred in the village of West View, Au-
gusta County. Va. This place contains a
Methodist church, and is within the bounds Of
e Hebron Presbyterian Church. which is
now without pastor. An Academy recently
established here las added to its Importance.
About twenty-five persons have recently pro.
fessed a hope in Christ, and others are still
specially interested in their salvation. A ma
iority of these have connected themselves with
the Methodist Church, and few with the
Presbyterian.
The external means bringing about this re-
suit have been these well-taught Sabbath
School; we'll attended weekly prayer meet
ing, conducted by an Elder and two private
members of the church few sermons spe-
cially addressed to the young; Methodist
protracted meeting and short series OF SER
vices by the Presbyterians. In all these in
strumentalites the church going part of the
community moved in harmony.
As indicated, the foundation of all the good
accomplished appeared to be laid in the Sab.
bath School and by the weekly prayer meet
ing. These prepared the way for special
preaching services They mellowed the earth
for the reception of the good seed. There
were evidences of this gradual preparatory
work which could not be mistaken. The ca e.
full study of Gods Word and persevering
prayers were thus honored by the overshadow-
ing Spirit.
Let the earnest workers in the Sabbath
School and prayer meeting not be weary in well
doing for in due season they shall reap, if they
faint not Let church members, who neglect
to give their labor and influence to these meas
of revival, fear the curse of Meroz, for not
coming up to the help of the Lord against the
mighty. EVANGELIST.

Election of Co-Pastor The 2nd Presby

Election of Co-Pastor. THE End Presby.
terrain church, Louisville, has elected Rev. G.
O. Barnes to be co. pastor with Rev. Stuart
Robinson. This has taken place at the earn
est request of Dr. Robinson. The very rapid
growth of Louisville, and the spread of the
population under the street railroad system,
renders it necessary to follow this dispersion
with missions, chapels and Sabbath Schools
The 2nd church has now two of these chapels
with mission schools fully established. Two
others are contemplated.
Mr.. Barnes is pastor of the Presbyterian
church of Stanford, KY, and is a brother
greatly beloved by his flock and wherever
known.

DIR. Brown,-As you were one of the Com:

the Church one of the best Hymn Books we
have had, allow me to make you the medium
of calling the attention of musicians to that
beautiful hymn beginning, And is it so? a

of inquiring what tune or tunes will suit it. L
gave it out lately in our ordinary Sabbath ser.
vices, announcing the metre as s 4 I. The
organist and choir Immediately started with
beautiful & 7 tune, but they had not ad.
vanced feet in the measure when the organ
list sprang from her seat, while the whole choir
came to pause, the most emphatic l have
ever witnessed. Whether the pause could be
found in the notation Of tune, [ cannot say,
but if so it ought to be shortened or modified
in some way. Will you or some of our must
clans help us out of this difficulty. We want
good church tune to the hymn we have de-
signated. The hymn is too good to be lost.

If the choir had thought of that sweet and
popular tune called Shining Shore, which
is so often sung in our Sabbath Schools and
elsewhere, they would have found one exactly
suited to the metre and to the character of the
hymn referred to.
The hymn to which it is set in " Songs of
of Praise" and other collections of music is
the 623 of our Hymn Book, beginning with
the line, My days are gliding swiftly BY"
The choir started with tune of & 7, the

For loss of thee dear friend; thou art not dead;
From scenes of toll and strife thy soul has fed;
We dare not weep.
Thou art not dead;
The dust to dust returns; the immortal part
Survives, unhurt by deaths envenomed dart,
Not dead-not dead.
Thou dost but sleep;
A faithful God, until the judgment day,
When heaven and earth shall swiftly pass away,
Thy dust shalt keep.
Thou shalt awake,
And from the darkness of the tomb shalt rise
Among the blood washed saints above the skies
Thy place to take.
Not born to die,
High up in heaven, while endless ages roll,
In songs of rapture shall thy ransomed soul
With angels vie.
VI.
Their song of praise
Swells on the ear; the heavens reflect the sound;
In soft, melodious notes the saints around
Their voices raise.
VII.
Close by the throne
We see thee stand, and tune thy harp of gold,
In robes of beauty, glorious to behold
Near to Gods throne.
VIII.
Above the rest
We hear thy voice, in accents loud, yet sweet,
Thy love proclaim, bowed at the Saviours feet,
Divinely blest.
We ask no more;
Our ravished eyes have caught glimpse of
heaven;
Could sweeter vision be to mortals given
On times dark shore?

Oliver Wendell Holmes used the fol-
lowing language, none too strong, in ref
ference to one of fashions foolish freaks:
But confound the make-beleve women
we have turned loose in our streets;
where do they come from? Not out of
Boston parlors, trust. Why, there is
MT beast or bird that would drag it's
tail through the dirt the way these crea-
lures do their dresses. Because Queen
or Duchess wears long dresses on great
occasions, maid of all work or factory
girl thinks she must make herself nuis-
ance by trailing through the streets,
picking up and carrying with her-bah! |!
that IS what l call getting vulgarity into
ones bones and marrow. -g
Show over dirt is the attribute of vul-
garpeople. Ifany man can walk behind
one of these women and see what she
rakes up as she goes, and not feel squeam-
ish, he has got tough stomach. Iwould
not let one of them into my room with
out serving them as David did Saul at
the cave in the wilderness-cut off her
skirts. Do MT tell me that true lady
ever sacrifices the duty of keeping all
about her sweet and clean, to the wish
of making vulgar show. I do MT be-
lieve it of lady. There are some things
that fashions have no right to touch, and
cleanliness is one of these things. 1t is
an insult to a respectable laundress to
carry sucli things into't house for her
to deal with

Let Nasby Read and weep.


john NJ. Langston, the celebrated COL
ored scholar and orator, created sensa-
tion when he spoke at Louisa Court
House, Va, some time since, in favor of
the Republican party. The secesh were
at first highly indignant at the impru-
dence of nigger coming to talk in their
midst, even to his own people; but they
were a good deal taken down, first, by
his own wonderful eloquence and finish
ed style, and next by the fact that Langs-
ton proved to be the son of one of the
most influential and beloved of the old
aristOcracy, by one of his old slaves!-
The education Langston received came
from his white father, who, as he said in
his address, "sleeps by the side of my
slave mother in the village graveyard" :"
The Confederate General Gordon was SO
pleased with Langston that he called
upon and invited him to his house after
he had heard his argument in favor of
Radical Republicanism, and the white
ladies of the place would not be satisfied
till he had given them a speech in the
village church. Truly the world moves! !!
