O H IT U A R Y. Died, in the full triumph of faith, Dec. —, 1813, Isabella, the daughter of E-j phraint and Betsy Magee, aged 21. She ; was baptized in 1839 by Rev. James Per-1 ryman, who also preached Iter funeral scr- j motion the 9:h ult. From a number of j verses desciiptive principally of the hist, dosing scene of her earthly existence) com posed by her esteemed pastor, tve extract the following stanzas: Low then she bowed her fainting head Content to sleep among the dead ; Her friends and parents lake their leave— | In sighs and groans and tears they grieve. | V ‘ Her flesh now slumbers in the ground, Hut when llu; last loud trump siiqll sound, She'll burst the tomb with sweet surprise, And in her .Saviour’s image rise.’ Died, at his residence in Warren county, (la., on the 17th inst. Thomas Seals, Esq. in the 61st year of his age.. His disease was of the character ol Spasmodic Asthma, which for several we ks rendered his breathing difficult, and appeared to conn- j lera.-t his whole system, though he was not particularly confined to his lied. On the day ol his death his appearance caused his family to consider him rather upon the mend, which he expressed himself; hut e'er it was 9 o’clock, P. M., aflet eating a light supper, his companion Was soon aroused by an unusual groan, .She imme diately endeavored to render him assistance, hut on reaching the bed, found to Iter great i surprise and mortification, that lie was in the act of dying, and he quickly breathed bis last. In his death, the community in which he lived, bis affectionate companion and six lovely children, besides a numerous circle ol friends, and bis bereaved servants, are left to mourn bis death and their loss. The writer of these lines lias known Mr. j Seals for a number of years. lie feels ! conscious that lie nan assure those who ! were not acquainted with him, that lie oc cupied (lie highest seat in the affections of his neighbors, and was naturally of a gen erous and obliging disposition/ He never made a public profession of religion, hut those who were host acquainted with him, arc not without hope, as he appeared lo lie a strict helicvet in the future towards and punishments o( a crucified .Saviour, and for the last two or three years of his. lifts ap peared particularly loud of reading Ids Bi ble, and to respect teligipus exercises, and at times appeared to have lender feelings while at public worship. ■ Departed this life,, al, her. residence in; Powcltoti, on the 9th of January, 1811, Mrs. Elizabeth Gardner, in the 68th year of hot age. The subject of tliis obit uary was baptized into the fellowship of •the Baptist church at this place, by the late ; R v. Jesse Mercer, in the year 181)3, ami (through life was one of its brightest orna ments. An attempt to record her many ; virtues would be useless, for the recollec tion of them will ever remain fresh in the ! hearts of numerous friends to whom she ! had endeared herself by the tenderest ties. , I’lte children of her adoption mourn her loss as irreparable, T’o minister to the tie- j eessities of her fellow-creatures, to pour ,the oil of consolation into tho troubled heart, to attend to the ealls of benevolence, were some of the duties to which she devoted her life. Few things prevented her attend* mice at the Sanctuary of the Most High, and site has there been heard to exclaim, (whilst witnessing the displays of (bid’s power,) •• Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me bless his holy name.” She was the subject of deepgtlllictioni but her patience and resignation was unparal leled. When able to converse, she would say to those around her, “ Tell my breth ren and sisters that lity trust is in the Sa viour alone, his grace is sullic.icnt, it has sustained mo hitherto and will. Oh that I could lly away and he at rest.” But she whom we so dearly loved, is gope to rest, and no doubt, lias ere this realized the truth o( the sentiment contained in her favorite hymn, “ Earth hath no sorrow that Hea , ven cannot heal.” * E. A. At her residence in Mount Zion, on Mon day, the 1 5th inst., Mrs, Maria M. Cos ncl.i., wife ot Dr. Alva Connell. The heart, which has been tnuglti to ap preciate merit, apd to weep at (lie recollec tion of departed, tvot lit, has in its remem brance but few such incidents as that which has deprived her family and friends of this extraordinary worn,an. , Endowed by na ture with an intellect of the. yery highest! stamp, and born with a. goodness of soul; hut rarely to be'met wjtii, she had superin- I deceit upon these the must careful and un- j wearied cultivation, pistil they had arrived to a maturity which astonished, whilst it delighted, all of her acquaintances. It is rarely the-ease that a cliriplinu enjoys the pleasing sight of an union of .the first .or der of mental and moral qualities, A mor tal, conscious ol unusual powers of.mind,- increased and expan led by education, is too frequently not only forgetful of, but thankless to the hand which has given them; and liis piety and goodness degiade, aq his genius finds itself advancing in its rapid and hurried (light. He may evince ! an increasing thirst—the world, will call it : generous—for knowledge; he inav throw from dijni, with pity and contempt, the ‘ things which conduce to most men's pleas ure—he may turn aside from the walks which bloom and are radiant with flutters, and choose, a path amongst the thorns and ! weeds; nay, he may forsake the compan ionship of the gay and the beautiful, be come an ascetic, and pass his life in melan choly solitude; but with all his knowledge lie wants wisdom. He prefers a persua sion of future renown to the present enjoy ment of the scenes which God has placed before him to make him happy; and in-1 stead of mingling with the world and bless ing it by the proper exercise of his powers, : he flies from it, but with the hope that when he leaves it forever, that world will -atrect for him a posthumous monument, and ‘inscribe upon its perishable marble, “a’ great man has fallen.” . .. But here was an instance of a strong : mind devoting itself to the most active be | nevolence. Mrs. Connell was a Christian *—not like many a Christian in name end ! faith only, who study religion and cultivate j it merely’ as an abstract quality, but she was an active Christian, * Who. loved the world though it may have warred with her; she j was formed to love—to love every thing; that was akin to her, ‘every thing that w.as great and bright and beautiful. Humanity | was born for the same ends for which she ; was—to live, to he happy, to be useful, to [ | pass u life of probation, to gather fruits and ! flowers from the green.fields which nature 1 had extended far out upon its bosom, and then to die and be ever happy, and therefore she loved.it. And she lived to accomplish these ends it; the sphere of her influence, j She sought but humanity in its lowliest j and humblest dwellings, lifted its weary ! heal from its couch of sickness and woe, i and taught its forlorn heart to look up,, to I hope and to rejoice in the prospect of an j eternal habitation. And she was rewarded. | She lived—and still died young-—she lived j to see many a smile-of gratitude where she j had once only seen its tear and heard-its j sigh. She enjoyed a verification of the |, prophecy, “If tli'ou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted,’ soul, ! then shall thy light rise in obscurity and • thy darkness be. as the noon-day.” Her last years were rendered delightful with the consciousness of rectitude and the retnetn br.iriceol benefits which site lint!-performed, They .were numerous, and they aroused Iter from a melancholy which was, at times, Iter portion; they Consoled the moaning of a soul which, from the very acuteness of its sensibilities, was often sorrowing; in hours of sadness they often came upon the mem ory, like the dews of heaven, “Watering a heart whose early flowers had died ‘ - At home, ‘Mrs. Connell practised the virtues which appeared to he Iters abroad. United with a man wjioQi she loved and es teemed, she sought to make him attached te that home. .She studied l.is wants —she sympathized in all llie good and ill ho met with, and tier heart sighed/: or her eye brightened, when he was- distressed or when lie was happy. As in all Iter at tempts, she was here successful. She had secured his tcmlerest afleeflons. Home was the centre of his thoughts, and the fire side offering lot him his brightest enjoy ments. But why should I say so much of one who was so well known? Yet wo sorrow to take leave of one forever—one like Mrs. Connell. We like to east yet another glance at the departing loved one— lo linger yet longer, at the grave and speak in grateful praise ol\licr remembered virtues, ere we turn away, dry the tear, and-go forth into busy lile. She died in her maturity. • I thought—for I knew her well—and such ■ was the almost reverential regard I euter- I tained towards her, that I had prepared my ! self for an extraordinary scintillation of this i bright genius, as its last gleam died awav, : ;I, id its last spark went out into the ilark j• of eternity. Hut it is one ol the ways j 01, J’lovid. nee, in his wisdom, to disap j point onr expectations, and In ing on events j unlike our thoughts, ami seemingly unlike the causes ‘which precede them. She died —how strange! without one expression ei ther of jov or regret. But there was a j still ami a calm demeanor upon her features as life was threatened with death; and then there was a smile which seemed not of the earth, as the spirit lingered updn the isth mus ol two eternities-—then was disengag ed, and fled to Im-united with that of which it was one ol the purest essences. “She tailed, and so calm atnl meek, | • softly worn so sweetly weak, I So tearless, yet so tender. With all llie while a check whose bloom Was as a mockery to the tomb Whose tints as gently sunk away, As the departing ruiiiluw’s ray.” It was tlu.s she lived, and lints she died. Me shall often visit the quiet spot of her interment; and as we wreathe the evergreen around the stone, ii shall recompense us for nil the sorrow-we have felt, in the reflec tion that it-represents the unfading ‘felicity to which Iter spirit has winged its flight. A Remedy for War. Mrs. L. M. Child has lately written sev eral letters trom New York to the Boston ) Courier, about matters and tilings in gen eral, in one ol which, in speaking ol tlie | follies and evils of war, she relates the j following anecdote, the principles of j which need only -to bo universally übser veil,, to put a final stop to tlie ravages atld ! desolations es war. j ‘I have read of a certain regiment order j oil to march into a small town, (in the Ty rol, 1 think.) and take it. It chanced that ! the place was settled by a colony who be ; lieved the gospel of Christ,’ mid proved j iheir lattli by work?. A courier from a j neighboring village informed', them that j Hoops were advancing to take .the town. {They quietly answered, “if they will take ; j it, they must.” Soldiers sooii eatne riding i in, with flying colors, and files piping their slirifl defiance. They looked round for an enemy, and saw the farmer at his plough, the blacksmith at his anvil, and the women at their churns an spinning wheels. Ba- j ; nies crowed to hear the music, and boys j ran out to see llie pretty trainers, with leathers anil bright buttons, the “harle-1 quins of the nineteenth century.” Ot j |course, none ol these were in a proper! position to be shot at.- “Where are your soliliOrs?” they asked. “We have none,” was the brief reply. “Hut we have come to take the town.” “Well, IrieiuL; it lies before you.” “But is there nobody here to fight?” “No; we are all Christians.” Here was an emergency al together unprovided for by the military schools. This was a sort of resistance which no bullet could hit; a fortress per fectly bomb-proof. The commander was perplexed. “Ifthere is nobody to fight with, of coutse we cannot fight,” said he. “It is impossible to take such a town as. ! this.” So he .ordered the horses’ heads to |he turned about, and they carried the hu man animals out of the village as guiltless as they entered, and perchance somewhat wiser.’ , An Army conquered by Prayer. When the Missionaries first went to the j Friendly Islands to preach the gospel, it happened that the chiefs, most friendly to the Missionaries, went to a neighboring isl j all( l to light. Those who were left behind lulled the Missionaries, and thinking it a line opportunity to destroy them, gathered together a large multitude, armed with war j clubs an.l bows, and marched lo the Mis- I sion premises, shouting “ We ate come to! cut olf the white people.” Finding they could not run away, the Missionaries, instead of being frightened, kneeled down to pray. O, it was a glori ous sight to see them—the ministers, iheir j wives and their children, all- kneeling be -1 lore God, pouring out their hearts in pray- I (, r, with closed eyes and spirits calmly rest | ing.omthe hosorn^fVesus— (he Missiona ries’ ...id ! Ths- knew not but that the knotted club 'was then suspended in the! murderous hand of the savage,- and yet : they were not afraid.’ . Very soon, however, the noise outside j ceased. Wondering at the quiet, they arose, and found Iheir house deserted. Not j a sotfl Os that vast crowd remained ! They walked abroad. The whole neighborhood was desolate; They went down to the sea I shore, arid found a little-boy. “ Where,” .j they asked him, “ are the people gone.’-’ . Pointing to a small island, a “quarter of a mile-distant, he replied,’ “They have gone 1 to that, island because they were afraid. They said, you were praying lo the great God, and it lie becomes angry he will come down upon us, and we and cur gods ! shall lie destroyed.” ‘ J Thus diil tlm God of Missions light for his I'aitlrful servants. Was it not a won-! derfu) deliverance ! Ought we not then lo be anxious to help-on a,cause of which Goo takes such -especial care ? -Surely while lie works miracles, ive should give bur prayers and our money, for nothing short, of the miraculous influence of die Hdly Ghost could have-frightened that sav age multitude, and have'induced them to run away from a family at prayer! Chil dren, pray for the Missionaries !— S. V. Messenger. lever at Lane Seminary—Effects of l egclrihle Diet. —Some account was pub lished, not long since, of an anomalous dis ease among the students at Lane Seminary, in Cincinnati. The last No. of the Wes tern Journal of Modi i inc and Surgery eon tains a lull account of the fever (typhoid,) by Dr. Thomas Carroll, of that city. We have only room tliis week to quote Dr. C.’s statement respecting the efl'ects of spare di et in producing this disease. “It lias been the habit,” lie says, “of! die students to lake cate of their own rooms, which ol course had not always been done in a way that a lady would have dictated. Most ot them have lived nt a common ca ble, which has been furnished in a plain , hut substantial mantlet. Six or seven, how -ever, boarded themselves during 1812, ami most ol these were Grahamites; indeed,! all lived in an abstemious way. All, with : a single exception, had the lever—lie, 1 be lieve, ale animal food’ occasionally, and la wns also 100 far advanced in life to he m much danger of the disease. Among tin students arose the worst forms of the fever. But one Student who had the disease, boatd ed in a private family, and the form in which he had it was not severe. Six-cases occurred in families who had admitted sonc ol the sick students. There were two cases in the Rev. Mr. Goodman’s family ; these occurred in boys who, so far as was knows, had not mixed with any of those who bail the disease at the Seminary. All who had the fever, besides the students, were under thirteen years of age; and one was not more than two years old.” Again, he says—“ The mode of living has, no doubt, much to do with the origin ol typhoid lever ; yet 1 have known to orig inate in very cleanly families, hut seldom among those who lived well as to diet, and who were in the habit of eating animal food. This may, however, more frequently occur than lam aware of. The only fatal cases among the students, at the Lane Seminary, 1 took place among those who had for a con siderable time abstained from animal fond, and all who were Grahamites had the fever.” Duller from Scalded Milk. —The Bos ton Plowman stales that Mr. Patten John son of Framingham, scalds hi? mill, as soon as it is drawn from the cow, and it is then set away in the usual manner. The editor ate sotiie of the butter made of the cream taken from this milk, and it tasted as well, and appeared as.yellow, as butler made in June. J'he butter is also formed, with as little churning as in warm weather, j i be butter will “ come” as quick in the whiter, as ill.the summer, when the milk is scalded as above mentioned, we know ; Iroin a little experiencs but we were not aware that scalding made the butter better also. It’ this be true, it should be known lo our dairy women. Let the experiment be tried. It will be no small advantage to be able lo make.buttei in winter of the! i quality ol that made in June, Hamp. Gazette. Strength of Insects. —The agility and strength of insects are well known, and in j I our own day the feats of the pulex are per formed before crowded audiences. Ants can carry loads forty or fifty limes heavier than themselves. Linnaeus has calculated that the Melolontha is, relatively to its size, six times stronger than the horse ; and he j asserts that if the proportional strength of the Lucamis, or stag beetle, had been given to the elephant, it could have torn up the largest trees by the roots, and, like the gi ants of mythology, could have hurled huge rocks against his assailants.

B. M. SANDERS. THE PSALMIST: Anew collection of H YMNSfor the use of the BAPTIST CHURCHES. BY BARON STOW AND 8. F. SMITH. THIS WORK contains nearlyTwELVE Hus- j dred Hymns, original and selected, together, with a collection of Chants and Selections i for Chanting, at the end. The numerous and urgent calls which have for a long tinfe been made from various sections of the country, for anew collection of Hymns, j that should be adapted to the wants .of the churches generally, it is hoped will here be ful ly rnet. * • • Surprising as it may appear to those who arc aware of the great diversity of opinion and ! tastes every where existing in seference to hymns best suited to public-worship, this new ’ collection meets with almost universal favor.— , Its rapid introduction into churches in yarious’ I partsof the country ; the numerous testimonials j ofapproval and high commendation daily receiv ; ed, m connection w ith the acknowledged abtl ity of the editors; the uncommon facilities en ! joyed by thcm, ofdrawing from the best sources in tins and other countries; the great care [with which the compilation has been made; 1 the new,-convenient, and systematic plan of ar j rangemei.t adopted, give the publishers‘full : confidence in tbeeuperior merits or the work. In addition to the protracted labor of the ed j itors the proof sheets have all been submitted to a Committee, composed of clergymen of high standing, m different parts of the Union, by | whose critical examination and important sug gestions the value of the work has been greatly j enhanced. All of \Valt's hymns, possessing lyrical epir j it, and suited to the worship of a Christian as j sembly, are- inserted, and a large number of! I hymns heretofore unknown in this country, j have been introduced. Thedistinction of psalms ’ arid hymns, usual 'y made in oilier collections, lias liecn avoided in this, and all have been ar j ranged together, under their appropriate heads, ! anti numbered in regular, unbroken succession, j There are three valuable Indexes—a-" General !

The Board ol Directors ofthe American Bap tist Publication and Sunday School Society, in duced by the numerous and urgent calls which, ■ fi.r a long time, have been made from various sections of the country, for a new collection of Hymns, that should he adapted tpthe wants ol'tlie churches generally, resolved, in the year I*ll, to lake immediate measures fi.r the nc- i coinplisliiDCiit of this object. With this view, a committee consisting of Rev. W. T. Brantly, 1) 1).. of Smith Carolina, Rev. J. L Dugg, oi l Alabama, Rev. R. B. C. Howell, of Tennessee, Rev. S. W. J.ynil, I). 1)., of Ohio, Rev. J.

Gould, Kendall, and Lincoln, Publishers, of Boston ; and Rev. I! Stow and Rev. S F. Smith; whose services they bad engaged, had already com menced their labor. From the well known ability of these gentlemen, there seemed good reason to expect a valuable collection, and one that would lolly meet the end which the Board contemplated. In order, therefore, to a vied the! unnecessary multiplication of Hymn Books, it a*deemed expedient, by the Board to unite, if possible, with the above mini ml publishers. Accordingly, the manuscript of Messrs. Stow and Smith having, been examined, and found quite satisfactory, arrangements wire made to! have the sheets, as they were issued from the press, submitted to the committee of the Board, with the understanding, that, if after such al terations ami improvements as might be sug gested, it should meet their approval, the Board would adopt it as their own. This approval Im ving been obtained, the Board, voted, unani mously, to adopt and publish the work, and have negociated with Gould, Kendall, & Lin coln, to that effect.
