to the borders of the grave But again and again
he rallied contrary to the expectation OF physicians
and friends, but much to the JOY OF all. And no
sooner did he recover strength to mount his horse
than he was seen moving over his farm or through
the neghborhood on some errand OF benevolence
or piety. As justice of the peace and as ruling
elder of the church, his efforts were unwearled
His church had been for some time without
pastor To secure one he exerted himself with
great industry and liberality. They had happily
succeeded in securing the consent of Rev. Z. b.
Price, of Richmond, to serve them In this
capacity and so highly gratifed was he at thls'
and so anxious was he to contribute to the
comfortable removal of the pastor elect that
he went to Richmond to accompany him to
High Bridge But while in the city he was
visited with one of his usual attacks, and OF such
severity that he died without ever again seeing MS
earthly home. AS might be supposed, his emo
was eminently peaceful. He only regretted not
living long enough to enjoy the qualification OF see
ing his pastor comfortably settled in his new field
of labor. In the 35th year of his age, and the
10th year of his service as ruling elder, he passed
to his home in heaven leaving widowed mother
three brothers and a sister, with wide circle OF
admiring friends to weep that they shall see his
face ne more. But their great loss is his eternal
gain. w. s. w.

LIFE ASSURANCE.

The House MouRtain-it may be mentioned for
the information of those who do not KNOWS a
somewhat famous peak just west of Lexington,
Va. Rockbridge is our native home, and it is our
pleasure to know and highly esteem many Of the
Scotch-Irish who live uader the mountain afore-
said. But candor requires the confession that we
have never made the acquaintance of the popula'
ton on its stop" The loss may be more our own
than theirs. 1t is pleasant, however, to find a
communication from Scotch-Irish" whose point
of observation may be expected to give him an
extended view not only Of mountains and valleys,
but of matters and things in general, The way
he has swooped down upon the subject of Life
Assurance is somewhat after the fashion of an
eagle from his eyrie in some House Mountain crag.
But seriously we must say to our correspondent
that if it be his purpose to dispose Of the articles
which have appeared in the Contra! Presbyterian,
and are not yet completed, he will have to enter
upon his task somewhat differently. 1t may be
that the author of those articles Is personally
unknown" to most of the inhabitants on the top
of House Mountain, and it is highly probable
there are some other clever people in the world
whose name has never reached that pinnacle. But
what has this to do with the merit of the pieces?
We can state, however, for the satisfaction of
Scotch Irish," that the writer appears in our
columns under his own proper name-one well
known to the public as long, hOnorably and use
fully connected with the Presbyterian church in
this country. Whether he is an agent for any
Life Assurance company, has nothing to do with
the truth of the facts or the soundness of the ar
guments he presents The subject is one in which
great interest is felt over the community, and
whoever shall discuss it with the calmness and
ability displayed by the author of the articles we
are publishing, will render an essential service.
If any one is persuaded they are unsOund, and
that Satan is at the bottom of these insurance
schemes, he is welcome, in any becoming way,

TOBACCO ANTIDOTE.

The antidote of our friend, Mr.. Rison, has al
ready found widespread demand, and its sale is
rapidly extending. An order was filed last week
from one house in New York, for 1850 boxes; the
day before another was filled from house in Bal
timore for SIC. They come in Also from New Or
leans, from Texas, and various other quarters.
We have no interest in recommending this pre-
paration except, first, the desire to promote the in
terests of most worthy gentemanin whose ntegrity
the whole community places the highest confidence,
and who would not knowingly impose upon it any
thing which is not what it processes to be.
Next and chiefly our wish is to aid those who
desire to free themselves from bondage to habit
which few will assert to be beneficial, and which it
does not require high medical authority to declare
is often very hurtful
From testimony which has passed under our
eye, and given by clergymen and others personally
known to us, we have very good reason to believe
that this antidote if it does not entirely destroy
the desire for the weed, " will so far diminish it
as to be an invaluable help in breaking off from
its use And further, our impression is that this
preparation is, in important Ingredients different
from the other tobacco antidotes now advertised.
We wish it great success, on account Of the in
ventor, and most for the good it may be expected
to effect

For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
James Rutherford Houston.

As nothing has yet appeared in the Central
Presbyterian concerning this excellent man whose
death is so greatly lamented, the following may
serve as brief contribution to his memory.
He was born in the country of Rockbridge, and
belonged to one of the oldest and most reputable
families in Virginia He was educated at Wash
ington College, where he distinguished himself by
the loneliness OF his disposition, the manliness of
his manners, and the variety and accuracy of his
attachments. 1t was at this interesting period Of
his life that the writer made his Acquaintance
Now TOO he made public profession of his faith
in Christ, and along with other students, sought
connection with the Presbyterian church of Lex
ington. On leaving college he took dismission
to the church of High Bridge-the church to
which, through several generations, his ancestors
had belonged. Here he took a firm stand, and
embarked with unusual intelligence, prudence, and
zeal in the service of Christ For the support
and advancement of the Church of his choice, he
gave his time and his money with astonishing in
dustry and liberality. His manners were so digni-
fed, yet SO atabe his spirit so gentle, yet so res
olute his piety so fervent yet so rational that his
influence and his usefulness reached as far as his
name was known. The rich and the irrelgious
respected and admired him, the poor and the pi-
Gus loved and venerated him. 1t may be truth
fully said, when the ear heard him then it blessed
him; and when the eye saw him it gave witness to
him; because he delivered the poor that cried,
and the fatheress and him that had none to help
him. The blessing of him that was ready to per.
ish came upon him; and he caused the widows
heart to sing for JOY"
But for years before his death he had became
the victim of wasting disease Frequent attacks
of hemorrhage from the lungs often brought him

A MOST EDIFYING BOOK.

Among the multitude of volumes issued from
the public press, we have within few days care
fully examined one which is really of such uncom
mon merit, that we desire to give it place outside
of the usual book-notices for the sake of drawing
to it a more special attention. Its title is
THE DAY-DAwN AND THE RAIN, and other SER
mons. By the Rev. John Ker, Glasgow, Scot
land.
1t has lust been re-publiShed in this country by
Robert Carter & Brothers, Of New York, beau
tiful limo. of $50 pages.
We do not believe that any volume of equal ex.
cellence has been published for many year. 1t
must be admitted that it is deficient in the ele-
ment of direct exhortaton, which should be aimed
at in most sermons. But in all the other essen
tas these discourses will place the author in the
very front rank.
The style is one of remarkable simplicity-far
removed from the ambitious and the sensational
from the effort to say A. B. G. in an original way.
And yet such is the genius of the author, that
there is a perpetual and surprising freshness on
almost every page His logical faculty is ample,
as also his powers of invention his imagination is
one of great wealth. and every thing indicates a
mind of the finest mould and finish All is per-
vaded by thoroughly healthful piety-no APP
proach to that disgusting affectation and mawk
ishness which the semblance of piety is so apt to
assume.
Without a single fault of Archer Butler or
Frederick Robertson, Mr.. Ker is in every respect
greatly their superior. If any brother in the min
istry wishes book that will feed him all through
with rich suggestions to work upon, that will fill
him with elevated conceptions Of the Saviour, and
with precious truth of kindred character, we take
the occasion to advise him to spare enough money
to buy this volume. He will find it a rich mass Of
FURNISHED gold, and set with gems of purest ustre
The Edinburgh Daily ReOiee0 does not at all over
state the merits of the book when it says, in a
notice of considerable length:
Take it all in all, we do not know volume of
sermons superior to this in the language. Others
NAV sarpass them in some single feature of excel
lence but in the manifold combination of merits
they possess, we could not name any that take
rank above them within the whole compass of re-
-ligious literature.

Anniversary of the Virginia Bible Society.

This Anniversary will be held in Saint Paurs
Church on Tuesday evening, the 9th instant, when
the business appropriate to the occasion will be
transacted. 1t is intended however, that the first
part of the evening shall be devoted to the addresses
which will be delivered. The Rev. DR., Plumer,
Professor of Theology in the Theological Semi
nary, Columbia, S. c., and Judge Shelley, of
Stanton, have consented, in response to an invi-
tation from the Board of Managers to be present
and address the meeting.
We take the occasion to say word In connec
ton with this anDouncement-and now, because
our next issue will be after the anniversary.
l. These annual meetings have heretofore, at
least for many years. been for the most part morti
fying failures The number of people in atten-
dance was mere handful compared with what
might have been expected Whenit is considered
that this cause is one that concerns every Chris
tan heart, surely from the many churches in Rich
mond there ought to be enough present to crowd
the largest house in the city.
,. Let all be reminded what the Bible is
whence it comes its character, its aim, its history
what it has done-what it will yet do for the world
for us-for our kindred and our friends-and
hence the solemn obligation resting upon every
human being acquainted with it, to do all in his
power to encourage and promote its circulation
among men.
8. Under this view let all who can do so, attend
this anniversary 1t is the special wish Of the man
ayers to make it the occasion of awakening fresh
interest in behalf of cause which all admit to be
50 God-ike in its benevolence, and they will do
whatever may be in their power to make it an
evening of such character as will lead all present
to say-"H is good to be here.

REPORT of THE PROCEEDINGS OF OUR
NEXT GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
The General Assembly of last year adopt
ed the following resolution:

The General Assembly of last year adopt
ed the following resolution:
'Resolred, That the Stated and Permanent
Clerks be a Standing Committee authorised to
make such arrangements as they may deem proper
for securing, for the future full and correct re-
port Of the proceedings and deliberations OF the
General Assembly; provided the expense to the
Assembly shall not exceed the sum OF $50 tor any
one meeting.
The Importance of securing in the most
satisfactory way full report of the pro-
ceedings of the supreme judica:Ory of our
Church, has been deeply felt. Facts of
great interest presented in reports and other
forms-arguments and appeals presented in
debates, when received fresh from the meet
ing, are read with ten-fold interest, are most
likely to produce their deepest impression,
and therefore to be exceedingly useful in
the Church.
The undersigned in making arrangements
for carrying out the order of the last Assem-
bly,, beg leave to state that it is their pur-
pose to issue daily paper during the ses-
sions of the next meeting, in Mobile, to be
called " The Assembys Record" 1t will
be about the size of the ChildreR's Friend
but double sheet, and therefore containing
eight pages. 1t will be carefully prepared
by competent reporters, under our super
vision.
Under the best advised estimates of ex-
penses, it is not thought safe to make the
price less than so cents copy. This, We
believe, is quite as low as any similar report
has been furnished. We are specially anx~
ious to make this experiment completely
successful. To do so will require the prompt
and energetic cooperation of our people, and
in particular of our brethren IN the ministry.
We appeal to them, then, to secure for US
/. As many subscribers as practicable;
payment always in advance.
2. See that the names of subscribers are
written very plainIy-alsO the post office,
county, and State.
3. If the list is arranged at the meeting
of the Presbytery this spring, let commit
tee see that it is made out carefully, and,
with the money, placed in the hands of
delegate to the Assembly.
Any person may obtain a copy by ad-
dressing either of US at Mobile, aud enclOs-
ing so cents, together with name, and post
Office.
a- VIII our brethren throughout the
Church remember how much success in this
matter depends simply upon each one doing
what he can
