HOW SAD!

When the news was brought to David of
the death of his rcbellious son Absalom, Da-
vid exclaimed: 20, my son Absalom! my
son, my son, Absalom would God had died
for thee, O, Absalom, my son, my son" No
bitterer vail ever escaped the lips of mortal
man. Oh how sad to consign to the grave
the remains of a darling son; but how mex
pressibly sad when no ray of hope penetrates
the dreariness of the tomb. Such thought
drives the parent near the confines of that
gloomy land where deep. despair dwells.
Are there no Absaloms on earth now? Are
there no sons and daughters of pious parents
at present who are so acting that the hope Of
their eternal salvation is expiring in the
breasts of their father and mother Profit
gate son or daughter, why lacerate the heart
of your pious mother and take the grey hairs
of your godly father down to the grave with
sorrow? What multitude of Rachels there
are in this world, weeping and lamenting and
refusing to be comforted, because their sons
and daughters are not in the kingdom OF
heaven. How sad for the parents to 60 to
heaven and leave some of the dear children
behind; or for the children to 60 to heaven
and leave the parents behind Not sad to
enter heaven, but sad whilst journeying there.
Parents, pray for your children. Give God
no rest until He, by his Spirit, converts them
from their sins. Children, obey your parents
in the Lord. Follow them to that good land
where God shall wipe away every tear. Pray
for your ungodly parents, that God may
bring them into the kingdom of grace before
the Pickering lamp of life goes out in eternal
darkness.

HOW PLEASANT!

The loveliest spectacle which is ever pre-
sented by human beings, is when a whole
family is walking in the narrow path that
leads to the New Jerusalem. No doubt the
angels of heaven contemplate with extatic joy
such sight. TO us, constituted as we now
are, and perhaps always will be, there is some
thing delightful in the thought of giving up
the ghost and being gathered unto our faith
ers. What grand triumph of grace to res
cue the father and mother and the children
which God gave them, from the power and
dominion ofsin. Oh how pleasant for breth-
rem to dwell together in unity in this world ;
but oh how blissful for kindred, according
to the flesh, to sit down on the right hand of
the Saviour in heaven and sing together for
ever the song of Moses and the Lamb

lOrigna
THE VALUE OF THE GOSPEL.

The real value of the gospel Of Jesus Christ
is known by few, and appreciated by fewer,
of the human family. Only those who have
passed off this stage of action and entered into
the city not made with hands, eternal in the
heavens, have any just conception of the ines.
timable worth of the work of the Saviour.
Many persons laud and extol the refinement
and civilization of the ancient Egyptians,
Greeks and Romans, protesting to believe
that these people made attainments which
have not yet been reached by Christian ma
tions. The truth is, strictly speaking, there
was no genuine reinforcement and civilization
amongst any of the nations of antiquity, ex-
cept Gods ancient people, the Jews Even
these present the appearance of a people just
emerging from barbarism. What the ancient
Jew was, he was by the influence of the gos-
pei seen through glass darkly. In some
kinds of learning, some of the nations of an
tiquity made great attainments; but when we
examine closely and impartially their ad-
vancements in the arts and sciences, we dis
cover that most of their attainments were
useless. In poetry, music and painting they,
it is customary to say, excelled. This is an
unwarranted conclusion. Homer, the ac-
knowledged prince of poets, is full, from be-
ginning to end, of improbable fctions. The
man who would at the present time pen such
verses as are contained in the Iliad, would be
regarded as crazy and fit subject for luna
tic asylum. No civilized man, it matters not
how great his poetical talents, would at the
present day, dare write such poems as Ho.
mer's Iliad and Odyssey. Such an act would
secure for him the title of insanity. Of the
music of the ancients we know nothing but
from the evidently fabulous accounts con-
tanned in the poets; of the painting we know
but little. We certainly know this much,
that neither the poetry, nor the music, nor
the painting of the ancients had much ten
dency to humanize the ancient Pagan ma
tions. In some of their poetry there is a
sweetness but thick drapery of gloom is
spread over the whole. What gloomy
world this would be without the benign in
fuences of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The
plowshare would be converted into sword,
and the pruning hook into a spear, and the
nations of the earth would study peace no
more. All security to person and property
would be at an end. Even wicked men
would not be safe. 1t is the bright banner
of the gospel that protects and defends from
ruthless invasion, not only the upright in the
pursuit of the legitimate callings of life; but
also guards and protects the life and property
of the transgressor whilst carrying on his
sinful traffic.

ton. While often complained OF as Idle ana
useless, it is still acknowledged that they are
modest, respectful and consderate in their be-
haviour toward the whites. Such certainly is
the fact, so far as my own observation goes
I have not yet witnessed the slightest demon
stration of colored insolence or presumption.
What the people chiefly complain of is cor
rupt government and intolerable taxation.
Of this, certainly, they have right to COM
plain. 1t is not strange, of course, that ne
gro legislators just taken from the plantation
or dray should be made the easy dupes of un-
scrupulous white men, and accessible to bribes
It is whispered that some Of the learned and
holy patriots who have adorned New York
Legislatures and the National Congress have
actually parted with their votes for pecunia-
ry consideration. Can we greatly wonder then
that Cato and Pompey should not be proof
against like seductive persuasions? 1t is un-
derstood here that the newly elected senator
from this State, Patterson, purchased his hon.
ors by the most shameless use of money. II
this is so, the wretch ought to be whipped out
of Washington, and from the society OF all
decent people,
1t is, of course, impossible that the present
abnormal state of things in South Carolina
should very long continue. Relief, it seems
to me, will ultimately come from the negroes
themselves, provided only that the whites are
wise with the wisdom of Cancellation and pro-
gress. Once thoroughly assured that the old
master-class entertain no covert designs upon
their present privileges, the negro must begin
to break away from the leadership of corrupt
adventures and take part with those who de-
sire just and economical legislation.
Meanwhile, l am equally surprised and graf.
flied to learn that the material prosperity OF
South Carolina is rapidly reviving. The crops
of the past year have been abundant and the
prices highly remunerative. In some sections
of the State there is said to be more money in
