Natter'y

There is oae kind Of :; Aattery
which is common to Both men and
women, and that is the expressed
preferences of sex. : :; Tins, when
men want to Aatter women,' > they
say how infinitely they prefer thei,
society;to that oftheir own sex, and
women will say the same to men.
Or if they do not soy it, they will
act it. See q get of women con.
gregated together without the light
of q manly eountenance among
theia. They may talk to each 9th.
'er certainly, and one or two will
sit away together and discuss their
private affairs with animation; bat
the great mass of them are only
half vitalized while awaiting the
advent of..the men to rouse them
into life and the desire to. please.
No man who goes up first, and ear
lier than he was expected, from the
dinner-tabie, can fail to SEQ tie
change which comes over those
wearied, limp, ipdifferent-looking
faces and figures as soon as he
enters the room. He is like the
prince woke up the sleeping beauty
aud all her court; and can any one
say that, this is not fiattery Of the
stasaightfnl kind? To be the
EHygBIslion even tor a moment, and
hE1ass weakest order of soul-giving,
is about the greatest pleasure that
a man eau know, If he is suscepti-
bic to the finer kinds of fattery.
Some, women, indeed, not only
show their preference for men, but
openly cobfess it, and confess at the
same time a lofty contempt or ab-
horrence for the society of women:
These are generally women who
are, or have been beauties, or who
have literary or intellectual pre-
TENSIONS, or who despise babies
and contemn housekeeping, and
profess themselves unable to talk
to other women because Of their
narrowness and stupidity. But for
the most part they are; The women
who, by their beauty OF their posi-
ton. have beeu used to receive
extra attention from men, aud thus
their preference is not fattery go
much as exigeance:" Women who
have been in India, or WHEREVER
else women are III the: minority in
society, are Of this kind; and moth.
ing is more amazing to them when
they first come home than the at.
tentions which q certain style Of
Englishwemen pay'to men, instead
of demanding and receiving atten-
ton from them. These are those
sweet, humble, caressmg won en-,
who hatter you with every word
and look, but whose fattery il

Missions in China.

The following telegram indicates opposi-
ton and trouble to the missionary operations
in China. 1t would not be judicious, how
ever, to form hasty conclusions. Let us
pray, and wait, and see. At all events the
Lord reigns, and China, as well as all other
lands, is to be redeemed from error and
brought to the knowledge of the truth as it
is in Jesus.
SHANGHAI, April II, via London, 26.
"Advices from Pekin state that the I'm
perial Government has made demand upon
the foreign ambassadors that the schools for
the education of females be. abolished, and
that teaching which is made to subjects of
the Empire, of all doctrines, opposed to those
of Confucius shall be forbidden; that mis-
sionaries shall be considered Chinese sub
iects, and that women shall not be permitted
access to the Empire in that capacity. The
ambassadors have also been notified that the
attendance of women upon religious service
is one of the occasions of the erecent massacre
of foreigners, and that, though those events
cannot but be deplored by the Imperial Gov
ernment, compensation for their commission
is absolutely refused"

Rev. John Chambers.

Mr.. Chambers is pastor of the Indepen-
dent Presbyterian church in Philadelphia,
and is the longest settled pastor in that city,
of any denomination. In the visible results
of labor he has perhaps been exceeded by
none. Until within the last two months, he
was hearty in body, and all his faculties held
on to the vigor of their best days. Since
then he has been confined to his room, the
result of sudden physical proatration; and
his hosts of friends, including clergymen Of
all denominations, have been deeply anxious
as to the prospect of his return to his labors.
The assiduity of inquirers, and the general
sympathy which the case has evoked, may
be Judged from the following tender acknowl-
edgment by himself.
"For many days my mind has been exer-
cised how I could, in the most Christian and
modest way, reach the eyes and ear of a
very large number of friends whose solicitude
for my restoration to health and continued
life has been so marked. have concluded
that a simple card, sent out through the
press from an honest heart, would be &C
ceptable to all. First, then, / owe debt OF
undying gratitude to the ministers of the
Prince of Peace, who came like doves to the
windows of my tabernacle, with the inquiry,
late and early, How is he? Any change for
the better Again, my gratitude is due to
large number of Gods Israel, who called
again and again without any other object
than to know whether the light was begin,
ming to burn brighter in this house of sorrow.
How Christan.like was this !
"Then again, I wish to acknowledge, as
best can, my debt of gratitude to that large
class of my fellow citizens, beginning with the
learned jurist and reaching down to the
humblest man of toll. In this enumeration,
I take more than ordinary pleasure in in
cluding large number of the Society Of
Friends, especially the members of the
Twelfth Street Meeting. While memory
lasts, those fond inquiries of old and young
will not be forgotten. Kind words never
die. AS to my own beloved people, may
say Of them, as Jesus said of the faithful
woman, 'They have done what they could.
There has been nothing left undone to relieve
the anxiety Of a pastors heart.
"The press, too, has been most kind ant
generous, for which thank them. Nor cal
1 pass unnoticed the eminent services of my
physician, S. Weir Mitchell, M. D., whose
skill and devotion, under God, have brought
me into a state of convalescence.
Glorious Christianity How unlike al
other systems of religion"

Faithful Services.
FROM THE CHURCH AT PARIS,
KENTUCKY.
From the "Memorial ADDRESS," 5y the Rev
L.. H Bzanton.

From the "Memoriaz ADDRESS," By the Reu.
Il. II, Blanton.
"The permanency Of its elderShip is
marked feature in the history of this church.
Almost from the first there has been full
session of from five to seven ruling elders.
And yet so greatly has God prolonged their
lives and given them faithfulness and per-
manence in this work, that the whole num-
Der of men who have in eighty five years
served the church in this capacity is but
twenty four. The average strength of the
session remaining at five or six in number,
calculation shows that the average length of
each man. service has been about eighteen
or nineteen years. If some have died or
removed after shorter term of service,
others have labored unusually long.
The actiuity of the eldership is worthy of
imitation One of the first official acts on
record was the division of the congregation
into districts, and sit was made the duty of
the elders to take particular notice of the
conduct of the members within their respec'
tive bounds" Another was the appointment
of prayer meeting in the country to be
sustained by the elders. Another required
all the youths under twen.y-one to attend
Bible and Catechetical classes. Another
act directed the elders to visit all "delin-
quent members.
The dedication of themselves and their
property to Godi pleasing feature. The
records mention frequent and generous con-
tributions of money to the missionary work
of the church. But they tell more than
this. In the eighty-four years of its history,
twenty-seven young men in the connection
of this church have studied for the Gospel
ministry. On an average one in three years,
or upon an average two or three members
of this church in constant attendance upon
collegiate study for this purpose. Let other
sessions in our church look upon their pre-
sent records and see if they are doing as
well. Not upon the past, but upon the pre-
sent. Are we now doing as this session did,
soliciting young men for the ministry and
helping them forward?'

Improvement of Mortality.

Gone of the ancients, standing at Caesars s
tomb, wept and cried, where is now the
fourishing beauty of Caesar? What is be-
come of his magnifcence? Where are the
armies now? Where are now the victories,
the triumphs, and trophies, of C@sar?'
(Cnyl on JO6.)
How happy the Christian when he dies!
He goes to live with Christ. He above
the world, to perfect, unfading honor and
happiness. O Christian, seeks those honors
and treasures which are to be found in Christ
and in the pursuit and practice of true god
illness! Thy dwelling on earth may be mean
and thy grave unnoticed; but thou shalt
have mansion in the skies, while, in the
most important and pleasing sense, thy name
shall be had in remembrance.

Ordination of the Rev. II. G. DuBose as a
Missionary for China.

Mr.. Editor The following account of the
ordination of the young brother who is soon,
God willing, to go to the help of our suffer-
ing missionaries in China, is taken from a
private letter written by one of the ruling
elders in attendance upon the late meeting
of Harmony Presbytery. The narrative is
very brief; but with the facts mentioned,
those who know the spirit of DIR. Plumer,
who solemnly declared before the General
Assembly not long since, C would rather
die than belong to Church which is not a
missionary body" and of DIR. j. Leighton
Wilson, the veteran foreign missionary OF
our Southern Church, can we'll fill up in i'm
agination, the impressive services. And ii
the account touches the hearts Of your read
ers as it did mine, they will not read it with
out interest and pleasure.
CAT night, Hammy DuBose, after going
through his examination in the day, preached
his trial sermon, which was admirably de-
livered to large and attentive audience,
and was unanimously sustained by vote oi
Presbytery; and resolution was adopted
to ordain him on Saturday, DIR. Plumer to
preach the ordination sermon, and DR.. Will
son to deliver the charge. This was done
before crowded house. The two venerable
Doctors acquitted themselves most hand
somely, to the satisfaction of all, and caused
many tears to be shed while listening to
their solemn and eloquent remarks. Many
of the oldest ministers remarked that they
had never before witnessed SO impressive a
scene and ordination. The circumstances
all conspired to render the scene impressive
the venerable men taking part in it, the
conservation of the young missionary in the
walls of the old church that nurtured him,
amongst his kindred and youthful compan-
ions, and all within few steps of the graves
of his father and mother, the former also a
minister. No doubt many silent as we'll as
audible prayers assembled that other young
men present would follow the example set,
and give themselves to Christ and his minis
try" l..
