TUE WINTER OF 1861 has thus fsr been
a season OF uncommon rigor. The month
before the last brought wish it an unusual
amount Of " chill November's surly blasts. Z"
December set in with intensely cold weather
which was severely felt away doWnin Florida.
With the exception Of few days it has held
US in this latitude bound fast in its icy fet-
ters. Ga Friday, the 29:h ult, storm
which brought rain in Richmond made a
snow Of seven or eighs inches in the higher
elevation Of the Valley. On New Years day
Q memorable Snow storm was experienced,
which, as far as heard from, perVaded nearly
every part Of the Uuited States wherever
snow is known. Il was attended and has
been followed BY an intense degree Of cold.
In the counties of R9ckbridgo and Augusta
the thermometer went down to Il, IA, Is,
20 and % degrees below zero. This is
propably without parallel, SIS to these
places, in the memory Of the present genera
ton. Ths reports which come from latitudes
farther north indicate an extremely low tenn
perature. The long interruption of naviga-
tion, of nearly all kinds of trade, and Of
travel also, mus: add greatly to the strin-
gency of the times. There are many whose
condition is one of destituson, and their suf
feriDgs are much enhanced by the piercing
cold. 1t is peculiarly time when sympa-
thy should flow 10 generous stream among
neigh5or5, and when they that are strong
should help those who are weak; and es
pscially when, as far SIS We can, want should

EDUCATION Ply THE GENERAL GOVERN
MENr.-The Congregationalist BOSTON, re
fars approvingly to the idea of "aome nation
al provision for education.
THAT the people throughout Che whole country
should in some manner be enlightened, is a matter
Of national concern, ana is essential to the public
safety. 1t has been shown also, too plainly, that
it is not safe to leave it wholly with the States
Bey-ld doubt there ought to be constitutional
provisions making it obligatory on the States to
furnish educational opportunities up TO certain
point, and making political power and weight, CT
least, TO be conditioned in soma manner on the ex-
tent to whiah the voting population makes use Of
these opportunities.
q" Up to q certain point. viii the Con-
gregatiOnalist please tell US what that precise
point is And when it is reached, then
please tell US also way it is not obligatory
upon the States to go farther? We have
long looked for light OF that question, but
behold obscurity."

Lay Preaching,
THE REACTION.

The Presbyterian ministers of Philadelphia at d
recent meeting, says the Gospel SOaoer discussed
the subject of 'lay preaching" We give the re-
port of it, from one of the leading daily papers:
"The pel6ng storm yesterday made the atteu.

deeply interested the thirty or forty city ministers
who were present. La the absence of DR.. Crowell
of West Philadelphia who had been appointed to
open the debate, DR.. William 0. tombstone, Of the
Kensington church, was called upon for remarks
He gave az account of the Hammond meetings 10
the northern part of the city, expressing himself
as on the whole, unfavorable to the eyangelistic
movements of Moody and Hammond, and as long
ing for the day when the pastors of the churches
should be allowed to pursue their own course IN
disturbed by such outside Efforts. The Rev, j. A,
Marshall followed, explaining the manner in which
Mr. Hammond conducted his meetings. Asone of
the illustrations used by Mr.. Hammond, ne men
toned that he showed the children "a 5uagnetsed

small tacks in great pumbers were easily drawn to

A Beautiful BoUGHT.-The sea is the
largest of ell eeD cries, and its slumberers
sleep without . monument. All other
graveyards in other lands show some dis
tinction between the great and the small, the
rich and the poor; bat in the great ocean
cemetery the king and the clown, prince and
peasant, are all alike distinguished. The
same waves roll oysr ell; the same requiem
by minstrels of ttss tRan is sung to their
honor. Over their rsmains the same sun
shines, and there, unmarked, the weak and
the powerful, the plumel and unhonored, will
sleep on until awske ned by the same trumpet.

INSTITUTE FOR TRAINING COLoRED PRES
BYTERIAN MINIsTRY.-The action Of our last
General Assembly which SCI on foot thi:
much needed enterprise, has been repeatedly
presented to the public in tho action of our
Presbytsries and SynO3s, IS we'll as in the
columns Of our religious newspapers. Our
brethren Of the Reformed Church gave it a
hearty commentator, and appointed a COM
mittee to aid in the collection Of funds. This
is at present the chill Difficulty" in the
matter. Il is understood that students are
already applying for admission, and the num-
Der will increase if money for their help can
be secured. The plan doas not contemplate
the erection Of buildings or the costly expen
ditures Of common colleges; the institution
can be made useful at 0ncai if the means ne
oessary 10 aid students should be furnished.
We do hope that the attention of our Chris
tan people viii DO directed to this object
We ought to address ourselves earnestly to
this work of raising up from their own ranks
a ministry fer The African race in this Coun
try. With al the Disadvantages it is enc Of
the most important end hopeful missionary
falds in the vozld. Our beloved brother,
the Rev. c. A. sailmaD, D. D, of Tu8ka-
lOosa, Alabama, IS admirably qualified for
the work in which ne is engaged, and should
be encouraged in il. Are there not many
who can send hin some aid?

The Merry DAYS OF Old.

In reading of the middle ages one is
struck by the accounts given OF feats of
strength, etc, of the life actors OF those
times. The suits Of armor worn, would
certainly indicate the possession OF
greater physical strength than is devol-
oped by men IN these latter days. What
wrought the change? Men lived in the
merry days more outdoor life than
this advanced civilization OF ours can af-
ford. There is greater consumption OF
brain matter, and that increased demand
on mental and physical power necessi-
tates the use of a pure vegetable stimu-
liant tonic, such as the Home Stomach
Bitters. l-l0.l2t

The attendance at the Episcopal church
on Sunday-both morning and evening,
was larger than usual. The increased
attendance was no doubt due to the
desire OF a great many of our people to

was announced would occupy the pulpit.

The Cairo and Cape Girardesu Packet

The little steamer Lizzie Bayliss, Capt.
Billy Williams on deck, will leave the
Cairo wharf at 10 am, Thursday morn
ing, on her regular trip to Cape Girar-
deau and return, stopping at all inter-
mediate points. Believing that paying
trade could be worked up between Cair o
and the Cape, Capt. Williams induced the
owners of the Bayliss to put her in the
trade. She has now made three paying
trips. and so long as the traffic between
the two points pays a reasonable profit
she will continue her trips, The mer-
chants and business men of Cairo have
an interest in the success OF the Bay liss
in this trade, and owe it to themselves TO
give her all the business they can. There
are numerous villages and landings
lying between Cairo and the Cape, from
each OF which Cairo ought to, and can
it the proper efforts are made, draw a
large trade, and there is no better way to
secure this trade than to encourage the
semi-weekly trips OF the Bayliss.
