"This influence though slow, is sure
The doctrines and miracles of our
Savior have required nearly 1000 years
to convert but a small part of the human
race, and, even among Christian nations,
what gross errors still exist! While we
see the course of the final abolition of
slavery is onward, and we give it the aid
of our prayers and all justifiable means in
our power, we must leave the progress as
well as the result in his hand, who sees
the end and who chooses the work by
slow things, and with whom a thousand
years are but as single day; although
the abolitionist must know this and must
see that he has neither the right nor
the power of operating except by moral
means and suasion; and, if he means
well to the slave, he must not create an
CRY feelings in the master. That although
he may not approve the mode by which
it pleases providence to accomplish it's
purposes. the result will never be the
same: that the reasons he gives for inter
ference IN what he has no concern holds
good for every kind of interference with
our neighbors when we disapprove their
conduct. Is it not strange that the de-
scendants OF those Pilgrim Fathers who
crossed the Atlantic to preserve the free
dom of their opinion have always proved
themselves intolerant of the spiritual lib
erty of others"
PEN PORTRAIT.
Fitzhugh Lee describes the scene when
Gen. r. f. Lee was invited to appear be-
fore the confederate convention and &C
cept his appointment publicly;
Leaning on the arm of Mr. Marina
duke johnson of Richmond, chairman Of
the committee Gen. Lee entered the hall
Every spectator admired the personal ap-
pearance of the man, his digniied figure
his air of self-composure, his strength Of
feature in which shone the steady ANNA
ton OF a consciousness of power, purpose
and decision. He was in the full and
hardy flush Of ripe years aud vigorous
health. His form was tall, its constit-
uents well knit together his head. well
shaped and squarely built, gave indica-
ton Of powerful intellect. The face,
not yet interlined by age, still remarka-
bic for its personal beauty, was lighted
up by eyes black in the shade. but
brown In he full light. clear, benigngnt,
but with deep recess of light,
a curtaned fire in them that Dlazed in
moments of excitement: the countenance
and natural expression were gentle
aud benevolent, yet striking the beholder
as masking an iron will. His manners
we're az once grave and kindly, without
gayety or abandon He was also without
any ahectatlcn OF dignity. Such is the
man whose stately figure in the capitol at
Richmond brought TO mind the old race
of Virginians, and who was thereafter TO
win a reputation not only as the first com
mauder but also as a perfect and beauti-
full model Of manhood"

Even then it was thought by some that
the war might be averted, but not by
