PEN FIELD.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, iS43.
Our absence . —We shall be absent when
this number is sent to press, anti lor a few
weeks more. Our publisher, and another
brother, whom we have engaged to pay
some attention to our columns, we have no
doubt, however, will allow our readers no
just cause to complain of our absence.—
It is busiuess of an urgent character, and
not pleasure, that calls 11s away at this im
portant season of the year.
Our Prospects.
They are encourging. We have receiv
ed, since the meeting of our Association
in Octobci, about 150 new subscribers,
with comparatively few discontinuances.
While many of our subscribers regret the
change in the form of our paper, others
have sent orders to send them our paper
when lire form is changed. If the change
of form be found to extend the circulation
of our paper, as we think it will, we
have no douhl that even those who prefer
the octavo t'orm will be gratified. “7 had
rather the church should be pleased,” said
a pious brother, in reference to the choice
of a pastor, for whom he had not voted,
“than to he pleased myself.” That
evinced a good spirit. We hope our sub
scribers will evince the same.
Our present number was mostly made
tip two weeks heliir ■ the tdirisdnias
hollidays. This will account ter the non
appearance of a number of original 00111-
ltiunications, received during the last
month, and tor the lack of recent intelli
gence.
Mercer University.
The prospects of this institution are be
lieved to be more flattering now than they
have ever before been. There was a full
meeting of the Board of Trustees on the
15th ult. Business was conducted with a
good spirit. Rev. J. L. D.tgg of Tusca
loosa, Ala., was elected Professor of The
ology, and President pro tern. A commit
tee was instructed to correspond further
with Dr. Manly, relative to the presidency.
Front information laid before the Board,
the hope was entertained of finally securing
his services. We have some hitter ene
mies abroad. We hear of many positively
false representations being made by those
whom the institution had cherished in her
bosom until forced bv their own conduct to
thrust them away. Such will injure them
s Ives much more than the institution.
Our college has been built up with the
most benevolent it) its character. It was
reared, not to advance individual interests,
hat tlte interests of our whole denomina
tion—and, indeed, the whole community.
The prayers of many tire still ascending to
heaven in its behalf; and evidence is con
tinually afforded, that these prayers are not
o Acred in vain. There will be, at the be
ginning of the next term, a considerable ac
cession to the* number of our theological
students. Several have already made ar
rangements to come on.
There is hut one dark spot in the pros
pects of our University. We learn that
board will be raised from $7 to S3 per
month. This we confess is unfavorable to
the institution. Should this be done, we
will only say, that we will open our house
for hoard at 87 and endeavor to demon
strate that good fare can he afforded at that
rate. We do not wish to take in boarders ;
but our purpose is formed and fixed, that if
$8 is asked for board, we will hoard all that
apply nL $7, and as our residence is more
convenient to the college buildings than any
other in Penfield, we indulge the hope that
others will be constrained thereby to ad
here to their former rates; and then this
one dark spot, to which we referred, will
disappear. As long as corn can he had at
35 cents per bushel, flour at 83, pork at $4,
butter at 12 j cents per lb., eggs at 10 cents
per doz., and other tilings in the same pro
portion, we consider 87 per month a fair
_price. Even at that rale, bedding, room
rent, washing, &e., would bring up the ex
penditures connected with hoarding to
about 810.
The Examinations. — Wo did not at
tend all of the examinations. As far as wo
had an opportunity of witnessing them the
students generally did credit to themselves
and to their teachers. There were, as
there always are on sueh occasions, some
exceptions; but these very exceptions at
test the faithfulness of the teachers in their
examinations and their impartiality.

Elder Vaudivcrt's Query.
A ministering brother of the Sarepta As
sociation, lias written a communication in
reference to brother Vandivere’s query.—
lie proceeds upon the supposition that the
query lias reference to a Minister of that
Association. He complains that the ease
is not fairly presented in the query. Slates
that the individual was charged with im
morality of the grossest character—that the
charges were never investigated by the
I church of which he was a member—that
the accused, apprehending an investigation,
applied for leave to withdiaw from the
| church; and that the church granted the
| liberty ask d—that the Association, being
| aware of these facts, and being bound to
labor to preserve purity in the churches and
to see that her Ministers so conduct them
selves as to preserve their characters free
from reproach, was morally bound to take
cognizance of the case. The writer states
that the proof of guilt, in the ease of the
accused, is conclusive, and expresses the
opinion, that it is contrary not only to the
spirit, but to the letter of the law to allow
such an one to preach. Ho refers in sup
port of his views to Lev. 20. 10. and 1
Tin. 3. -i.
We lave preferred to give this synopsis
ot tlte views of out correspondent to pub
lishing his communication entire. As hro.
\ andivere requested the views of others,
we felt hound to give the views of an “Old
Preacher.” Tlte subject appears to us to
he better lilted for discussion in church ot
associational conferences titan in our col
umns.
A Good Example. •
We commend to the prayerful attention
of our readers the following extract from a
private letter recently received, which af
fords a lovely sample of the wisdom, benev- \
olettce, and prudent forethought of an aged j
Christian brother. May his example in
spire many to go and do likewise.
Green County, (la., Dee. 15, 1813.
Dear Hro. linker, —-1 have taken the In
dex almost ever since it had an existence,
and am now convinced that 1 shall not take
it 111t1c.lt longer, as 1 have passetl my three
score and ten. As 1 am wearing trill, I
send you two new subscribers, viz:

Election.
In consequence of our having to leave
home we have not found time to reply to
brother Hatchett's communication, ot to
the one to wlfieti we appended a noloivle"-
ing the reader to our editorial columns. As
soon after we return as shall be convenient,
we design to give a series of editorials on
tlte doctrines of grace. At present wa will
only say, that our reply to brother Hatch
ett, if not satisfactory to him, has secured
the approbation of others. The Editor of
the Western Baptist copied them entire,
and the following is an extract from a letter
recently received :
“ 1 was much pleased, inv dear Brother,
| with your remarks in the 46th number of
your paper, in reply to J. B. Hatchett, in
I'clerencu to the Doctrine of Election.
1 have no doubt in my mind hut there
j are many good brethren whose minds have
j become prejudiced again 4 missions, from
die laet, that some ol our good missionary
brethren have loaned too far towards Ar
minmuism. Tins, 1 think, however, is
very erroneous. The question to be deci
ded, 1 think, is. Is the missionary spirit the
spirit of the Gospel ? (which I think no
true Baptist can deny.) If so, it becomes
the duty of every friend to the Saviour to
do all within his powet to spread the knowl
edge of Christ to the ends of the earth. I
remain yours in the kingdom and patience
of Jesus Christ.

Privations of Ministers.
Our tendeiest sympathies are often exci
ted by the communications which we r -!
ccive from those who arc laboring without
lee or worldly reward for tiie good of souls.
I’he following letter, though not designed j
for publication, we lay before our readers |
with the hope that the rich may be led to \
inquire whether such have not a claim upon
their treasures—a claim given not by hu
man but by divine enactment—and that the
prayers of all may ascend to the God of j
our lives in behalf of such.
Lowndes County, Dec. 1, 1843.
Dear brother Baker, —lt has been two
years since 1 have remitted the money to
you for the Index. The reason is, I have
moved to this wilderness country, settled a
new place, with little else but a wife and
children, and found so large a country des
titute of preaching that I have been com
pelled to ride a great deal, and having my
provisions to buy for 2 years, I have got in
debt and ill distress,
Dear brother, 1 have now the charge of
one Church that is 40 miles from me, and
the nearest one is 13 miles. My labors in
the Ministry are almost more than 1 can
bear, and the Churches and congregations
that I supply are so poor that 1 never re
ceived 820 in my life. lam unable to af
ford myself a pair of saddle hags, so that
when l immerse, (which is very frequent
ly) I have to borrow clothes or remain in
wet ones till they tlry on me. My minis
tering brethren in the old countries have
but little idea what we have to undergo
here. I state these things as my excuse.
To do without the Index is awful to me; it
is worth worlds tome here; but my dear |
brother, you must stop it till 1 out) get ncar
er up to my dues. I faithfully promise
you to send you the money as soon as pos
sible.
With great esteem,
1 retnaitTyour brother,
J. W. P. McCAI.L.
Will tiot out churches, or benevolent in
| dividuals, raise a fund to enable us to fur
nish copies of the Index gratuitously to
: poor but worthy ministers, who, like broth
er McCall, feel that it is an affliction not to
be able to lake and pay for it? Btethren
and sisters, think of this matter—imagine
yourselves for a moment in their situation
and whatsoever you would that others
should do unto you, tinder such circumstan
ces, do you the same to them,

The \cw Year.
It is a custom with editors to oiler their
readers lelleetions on line “New Year.” As
we are in no prosing mood at piesent, we
olfer the following lines as a substitute for
such reflections. They are designed to
induce reflections on the ravages of time
and its fleeting character.
A Vision of Time —A Fragment.
‘Dime's a god.
i Hast thou ne'er heard of ‘Dime's omnipo
tence,
I Dor, or against, what wonders cun he do?”
Voting.
A spectre-like form to my view arose,
Like tlu! forms which stalk where the bam
boo grows,
! When the din of the world is heard no
i mote,
! And tlte prayers of (he tawny Payniin are
o’er.
His visage was thin, and his checks were
j_ seen,
Like the sallion mix'd with the deep pea
| green.
i His jaws were gaunt, and his aspect was
fierce,
j And his eye beam'd relentless—lt could
pierce,
I As slowly it rolled in a sullen mood
j Through things that had pass’d ere the
days of the flood.
i It had seen the form of our feeble race
Emerge from the hand of the God of grace,
Ere vital air in the lungs were inhal’d,
Or the curse of Heaven on man was en
tail’d.
It had seen the sword of the angel wave
O’er the hallowed walls near die sinner’s
grave.-1
It had seen the ark by the billows heat,
As the waters roar’d and the winds flew
fleet.
It had seen the assassin, at midnight, roam
Afar from that once sacred spot his home.
| And many a deed of horror. I ween,
j Has by that sombre-eyed spectre been seen;
For his eye moved slow, with tremulous
motion,
Like the heaving surf of the billowy ocean,
Wlien still dis the howl of the stormy blast,
And the rage of the warring waves have
pass’d.
It seem’d to’vo borrowed a tint fioni the
tomb,
As it roll’d and glar’d through surrounding
gloom.
This spectre shape to the vision appears,
With front impress’d with the furrow of
years.
in his wither’d arms the weapons he bore,
Which ever he wields—and wielded of
yore.
Though wither’d those arms, shall the
deeds he forgot
Ol the martyr’d saints, and the wattiots
who fought,
j Ere their nerves lie unstrung, or their vigor
fail,
i Or they’ cease to make die maiden turn pale.
With his right he hurl’d an unwieldy
scythe,—
E’en the sight was enough to make one
writhe.
’Twas crusted with dust, and spotted with
blood,
I’hat had from an Abel gush’d in a flood.
’Twas hurl’d round his head, with a force
intense,
Like the lightning’s shafts round Omnipo
tence.
By a wave of the arm, the sweep of a blow.
Were cities, tiaras, and sceptres laid low.
In his left, a ruthless besom was seen,
With which the vestige of things that bail
i been,
The rubbish of years, the ruins of towns,
| The fragments of thrones, the telics of
crowns,
Were swept fiom the earth—they vanish’d :
as last
As the Arab’s tract, ’fore the Simoon’s j
blast.
They were swept, and sunk in a gloomy |
abyss,
! As deep and as dark as the eaves of Eblis: i
j And the eye might seek—but ’twould seek
in vain,
i For things that had once in that deep gulf
lain.
There they lay hid—they were hutied as l
deep
As the coral caves where the sea-nymphs :
sleep:—
As the spirit that gives to attraction birth—
The spirit whose home is the centre of j
earth.
And a veil—the veil of Oblivion was spread,
O’er mouldering thrones and the dust of the \
death
Who art thou? said a voice—The sound
was low,
Though as grand as the rushing cataract’s
flow.
It rose, as appear’d, from some cavern bed. !
It rose—anil through ether it wav’d and
spread:
And it linger’d long, and it linger’d near,
And often it seemed to thrill in the ear;
For the mind, even when that sound was
hush’d,
Wis still with a sense of its grandeurl
flush’ll.
And suddenly rous’d was that wither'd i
for ai,
! Like startled thunder in the gathering
storm.
And he east his eyes o’er the space around,
But lie answered not to the solemn sound,
; Till he rais’d his hand, and drew from his
breast
.! A form, that with cares and years was op
. j press’d:
| ! Aui.be dash’d it down, and swept it away,
Frcyn the face of earth, and the light of
day.
1 Then he spoke—but spoke in a mournful
i tone,
i And Natute, in sympathy, gave a groan;
i And the crash was heard of a falling tower;
i Ami tlte valley heav’d with forest & bower;
. And the mountains rock’d o’er their solid
base;
And the pale moon hid, as he spoke, her
face.
“I am Time—l’m known by flic deeds
1 1 have done;
! I ant Time—l’m known by the course I
have run.
i I rule in the orbs that twinkle afar,
, And I mark the date of the shooting star.
Eire (he sun had shed upon the earth a lay,
Through a thousand worlds hail I spread
*~dceay. r l[
count the sands on the sea-beaten
’
And count the tiaels that have traced them
o’er,
Since the ocean heav’d its billowy sigh.
To the sportive breeze, as it fluted by;
Since the winds and tlte waves in contest
met,
Since the lights in the glowing sky were set:
They’re less than the heaps of the slum
bering dead
I have laid at vest in Oblivion’s bed.
But ye who would know the deeds i have
done,
Atld ye who would know the course 1 have
run,
Behold me stalk over the fallen sanes;
Behold me hound o’er the mountains and
plains:
The deeds that I do, l have done them be
fore,
Tlte course l have run, again l run o’er.
Yet I never retrace the steps 1 have taken,
The dead I have slain I never awaken.”
He ceas’d; and there reign’d a silence as
deep
As that in the tombs where the slaughter’d
sleep;
Save that from the bosom of earth, a sigh
Escap'd,'2 and was borne to the worlds on
high,
As if it the speech of Time would report
To the silent orbs, in the heavenly court.
The moon, fora moment, seemed to have
stay’d
Her course, as of old, when Joshua hade;
And tlte stars to have stopp’d their dancing
1 career,*3
That the words of discoursing Time they
] might hear.
> lint ah! ’twas false as the fancies of sleep:
deep.
! Atid time, whom we thought to he linger
ing nigh.
Had pass’d us—and pass’d us forever by.
MSoine one supposes, that the first of
our race, who experienced corruption,
’ were interred near the hallowed walls of
the consecrated garden.
!. *l|Some speculative philosophers have
; supposed that our earth arose out of the
ruins of other worlds.
! ’2 “Escaped." —
“The sigh would oft times force its prison
doors
And ily to heaven, to lull the spiiits there
Thu sweet workings of It is troubled breast;
But then his spirit mounting in his eyes
Would dart awhile its fiercest lives around,
As if indignant that a sigh should tell
What griefs and sorrows were his guests
within.”
