Several anonymous letters have recently
come to the Parsonage, concerning the
needs Of q certain poor family 10 this COM
munity, pleading for help. Now, If these
near neighbors, as they sIgn themselves,
will visit the Parsonage and present the
needs Of this family in proper manner, or
write and sign their real names, that we
may know through whom we are working,
efforts will at once be made by the Home
Missionary Society TO supply them with
some Of the comforts needed. But until this
is done, we are at loss how to proceed for
never before have we heard of the family,
and do not even know where they live,
besides we do not favor anonymous letters
nader any circumstances. We hope those
who are interested in this family will make
their appeal for help in proper manner,
with proper signatures, then most surely
will attention be given to their needs and
efforts will be made to supply them with
some home comforts.

a nuisance in general.
/. The action of the boys and young men at
public entertainments in the evening in
your town for the last year or so, has been
disgraceful upon many occasions. Refined
people have remained away from many Of
them, rather than be subjected to rudeness

Haines, near Rising Sun, completed

appeared to greatly appreciate.
With the exception of some difficu Ity
in breathing when he exercises, his

sidered great and hazardous
undertaking. A letter descriptive of
this trip, written from Washington,

very interesting. and in the light of
our great advancement in the mode

since that time. not only of Ohio but
of the immense territory beyond that

Causes of Misery.

glance at the various conditions OF
human life is sufficient to show that
misery and unhappiness prevail. AL
though many are the causes which have
conspired to mingle sorrow in the cup of
human existence, yet two, ignorance
and immortality, more than all others,
have engendered the evils that beset
mankind. To establish the position that
ignorance is one of the most prolific
sources Of misery, only a reference to
those nations where the genial rays of
science and civilization have never shed
their renovating and vivifying influence,
is necessary. Go, mark the infatuated
Hindoo, who prostrates himself beneath
Juggernaut's idOlatrOuS car. confident in
the belief that this, and this only, can
placate the wrath of his tutelary deity,
and avert impending curses from this
sacreligious head Witness the heather
mother, who, in violation of every
parental tie, devOtes her child to glut
the crocodile's voracity. Behold the
pyre whose destructive flames are fed
with human victimS-the altar that reekS
with the blood of beauty and innocence.
Observe the thousand nameless rites
that ignorance imposes, the performance
of which involves, in deep and undis-
tinguished misery, the nations that OBJ
serve them. Superstition the offspring
of ignorance) throws its spell around
these barbarous rites, and dignifies the
most unparalleled enormities with the
appellation of duty. Every mans OBJ
servation, however superficial, must
furnish ample testimony to the position
that immortality is the cause of wretched-
ness. The case of the intemperate man,
upon whose haggard features is por-
trayed the index of his career, bears
evidence indubitable to its truth. Not
only does his guilty soul vibrate with
anguish at the touch of conscience-but,
the disgrace Of friends-the alien for
morality-he sinks the ranking shafts
of sorrow deep in the bosom of conscious
innocence. Yes, his immortality extends
its influence to the plighted partner of
his bosom-to his ragged, suffering chill
dren-to the whole circle of relatives
and friends. 1t is so with every species
of immortality. Mark we'll the votaries
of vice wherever they may be found, and
you will discover that, in the most Sc
Guided recesses of their infamy, misery,
with its indigenous train, embitters the
joys Of humanity and casts it's sombre
veil over those unfading,' quenchless
enioyments, which virtue only can orig
nate.
