‘Ttivr Stehc !ch: kan nict an iers : Gott

BY B.VYNARD It. riALL.
Thou there ! but yesterday the cloistered
cell
Echoed thy groans, ami thy crushed sp : rit
(Vi!
E’en at a zephyr’s breath !
Thou there alone against the world! Qh I
sight ~ I
For angels! Lo! thy weakness changed to i
might
Tiiat braves all forms ol death ;
Ami bids defiance unto Helll God's power
Oh! man of faith! doth help than in this
hour.
Yea! iltere thou art! Awestruck, and yet
intent,
Both sceptic;! king and mitred priest, are
item
Toward thee with steadfast gaze!
’ Pis heaven's own grandeur stumped upon
tlmt brow,
That shaiucs ali pride and pomp of pageant
now.
So looked men at the rays
Front prophet's unveiled face, till at the
sight
Appalled they find, blind with celestial
J'ght.
What! though the mighty ones afe sworn
end met,
With vcngeiul soul, an empty seal to eet
On thine eternal fate* ?
What! though is broke the bush o( solemn
spoil .
By muttered threat and eti so of earth and
hell.
And taunt of scorn and hale f
riioti moveless art, mid storm of fiercest
ire,
A* that famed rock that bears the beacon
lire,
Vain hope! to weave fir thee the darkest
maze
Os conning tods. Thou walkout mid Ml
blaze
‘ That ell earns from upper throne.
Nil ure to tiiec is bribe of rank and gold ;
Like Him to whom long since by temper
hold
This world’s whole pomp was shown,
Doc price for homage done, stern dost thou
say
To timid friends and treacherous foes—
a wav !
Stand deathless on thy lofty mountain
height
A giorv sent our lower world to light
J ill heaven and earth are past!
Ever thy word* shall stir the deep pro
ton ml
Os inmost s.,u!, and bid the bosom bound
With thought lor speech too vast!
O! Rn for thee that voice lias mystic
tone
With this pathetic kttell—“Fallen i* thy
tlirot'.o!’’

To my Mother iu Ilravro-
Puto shade af my .Mother bow down;
From’(lie pure realm* of bliss now come
forth:
Lay aside thy white robe and llty
crown,
And visit the scenes of the earth.
Tin- child of thy love needs thy tenderest
cure!
Wilt thou not Mother, hear thy child’s fer
vent prav’r.
O, Mother, dear Mother, draw near;
The pure pleasures of home are decay’d,
Nought now plays ou my check but a
tear,
And long have my hopes been delayed.
For since, dearest Mother, you roso to the
skies,
My drink has beet! jt-ief, and my food has
been sigh*.
Was I not thy favorite child,
•Ere the spring of my lile had gone by ?
Ulliough I was wayward anil wild,
You saw a bright bow in ilia sky,
I think of the day* when my Mother was
nigh,
And often do I murmur, “Why do the good
die?”
Why should I repine at my lot?
Since thou art now free front all pain, j
All the cares of this world are forgot
In the thought, “l shall see thee again,” 1
These whispers of comfort my sighing*
control,
Aud angels of peace spread their wingsVer

Departed this life, at Mr. Win. R.
Smith's, in Floyd county, Ga., near Rome,
on the 261 h of October, iSi i, Dr. Richard
Francis Oottov, aged 32 years and 12
days. He baptized by eider John F.
Ilillyer, at Monroe, Walton, in 1831, and
for several years lived a very pious and or
derly life, but in process of time became
rather cold in relation to religious duties—
until, some time before his death, he be
came very solemn, and on his death-bed
expressed a firm persuasion of his accep
tance with God, through his blessed Re
deemer, fie has left a widow and three
dear little daughters, an aged, widowed
mother, and a number of other friends, to
mourn their ioss—but not as tiroa ■ wivi
have no hope, for tuose who visited and
conveised with him, just before and in hie
. last struggle, believo he died in the Lord.
“ ‘Tie religion must supply
Solid coittf >rt when we die.”
Died, at his residence, in Oglethorpeco.,
Ga., on the 2d instant, of pulmonary con
sumption, Mr. Isaac* Goolsby, aged (15
years. The deceased had, for near twenty
years, been the subject of affliction, during
all of which time lie boro it with meekness
and humility without a murmur. He Ijas
left a wife and four children, wgethei with
a large circle of Inends and acquaintances,
Ito mourn their irreparable loss. Asa fath
! or and husband, he was kind and alfection
j ate, as a tnastei’ ho was humane, soil as a
neighboi he was ever ready to administer
j to their wants; as a citizen he occupied,
j from his youth up, a high stand in society;
I he possessed a character marked for itsde
| cision; he was genomus, noble and benevo
lent ; hia acta of benevolence were dore
according to the spirit of the Bible ; he fed
the poof, clothed the naked, and adminis
tered to the sick. When he would take
leave of one of God’s ministers, lie would
very often, when shaking their hands,
leave a bill behind without any ceremony.
He always held religious service in high
esteem, ami wan ever ready to aid die
Church ; and, although he never united
himself to the Church, his best friends be
lieved him to be a devoted servant of God's.
Ho was often solicited to unite himself with
the Church, but would plead Iris unwor
thiness ; but, from the time he was con
verted until his death, (which was about2o
years,) he lived as a Christian. When his
health was such that lie could not attend
Church, he would scud toques.a for the
ministers to preach at his house, and he
never let them go empty away, saying that
*’ the laborer is worthy of his hire.”
Death came not as a thief in the night.
He was anxiously waiting the summons :
he, in Ins last illness, remarked to his wile
that he ilid not wish to be impatient, but
that lie longed to be with Jesus—that he
had a building of God, a house not made
with hands eternal in the heavens. Soon
alter, lie called his children to Ids bed-side,
exhorted them to seek religion, to take the
word of God lor the man of their council,
and meet Him in heaven. He then called
his servants, and told them to live for God
and meet him in heaven, that he was going
to glory. He then took leave of each of
them, and soon after expired. W.

Died, at the residence of hei father, Capt.
John Clieely, in Wairen county, on the
25th day of June, Miss Rebecca \V. Chee
ly, aged 23 years, after a severe spell of
sickness, which, from its first attack, gave
evidence of being fatal.
Miss t lively had lived as one who ex
pected such an event. She united herself
to the Baptist Church in the year 1839.
Asa member of the Church on earth, few
[ persons, by their conduct, evei gave strong
er evidence of the reality of teligion. She
was esteemed by alt who knew her, and
beloved by her parent and sisters.
She died in her senses . she lived not for |
self; her happiness in life consisted most- j
ly in benefiting others; this passion was]
strong in death. The older members of;
the iamily she most earnestly exhorted to
live so as to meet her in heaven: nor was I
she unmindlul of the younger ones, but as-!
fectionately gave them much judicious ad- 1
wict).
To a young sister she said, “Always
! consider whether what you are about toilo
Ii right or wrong, and if right never be j
: afraid to do it—never let the opinion of]
others keep you from doing what is right, j
or from (hschaiging any chrisiian duty.”
May this advice live, not only in the bo-1
i sum of that sister, bat be adopted as the j
j rulo of conduct of all the rising generation. |
Oil the Love of God-
Beware how you neglect that species ]
! aud degree of intercourse with your Hea
! venly Father, to maintain which, his liter ]
|cy permits, anil his word invites, and his
! grace, if you will make use of it, enables !
j Beware, lsl by thinking of Him hut set
-1 dom, but seldom addressing Him in prayer,
j and seldom hearing his voice in Ids Holy
I Scriptures, and Ins’ public ordinances, you
estrange yourself by degrees, entirely from
| his love, and allow the pursuits and pleas
’ tires of the woild tq,establish an empire in
j your heart, left empty of holier atfyctions !
It is by daily prayer, ami daily thahksgiv
j tng, by patient study of God’s wort), and
| by patient meditation on nurown condition,
! and on aM which God has done, ana will
;do for us, that a genuine and rational love
1 for him is kindled in our heart; and that
wo become linfeignedly attached to the
Ftiend, of whose kindness we have had so
1 lunch experience. It is to be expected that
,iu the earliei stages of our approach to
j God, we should experience but little ol that
. ardor of devotion, those pleasures of earn
jest piety, which are in this world the re
tvsr.l of love, ns well as its tn ’st cnttvinc
! tng evidence. Our prayer at first will of
ten be constrained, our thanksgiving cold
and formal; our Ihougnw will wander from
our closets to the world, and we shatLbave
too frequent occasions to acknowledge with
shame and sorrow the imperfection of
thoso offerings, which we as yet can make
to our benefactor. A religion* feeling,
| like every other mental habit, is sk/wiy and
j gradually acquired. A strong and lasting
; affection, is not ordinarily the growth of a
day; butto have begun at all, is, in reli
gion no trifling progress ; and asteady per
severance in prayer and praise, will not
only, by degrees, enlist the strength of hab
it on the side of holiness, b it will call down,
moreover, and preserve lo us. the spiritual
support and influence, without which, ali
j human effort must be jn vain, hut which
no one will seek in vain, who seeks lor it
j insincerity and by the appointed means.—

• Among ihe six hundred Spaniards whom
. 1 \l-l :o d there, and to whoqt I offered the
word of God, there vvns one, a man of dis
i tioctio'i and wealth, who hid served in the
atmy, and now lived in Tetii Pindpt.
One day i went to the he use of this gen

“Ah'” said be. *‘l know you; l) have
heard of you. You area worthless fellow.”
“Very true,” I replied ; “Ideal that more
and more; and this book h:s taught me
what 1 am, and who is that Saviour whom
I needed. And it lias nffoMed me much
consolation auJ instruction”
He did not allow me foi finish, but, in
his fury, gave me a violent It ick, and drove
jms from iiis house, i went Away ; but the
j next day I n-turned. I hail Hardly time to
: state my object, before lui rnisJum utnbrel

me a heavy blow on my be mi I turned a
way, mid went back. \
The third dry I had no bijer success :
the fourth, fifth, sixth, ands S-on to the
fourteenth, time I repeated ny visit; but 1
must own that I trembled each time as I
mounted his steps, expecting to be loaded
with contempt. The last lima, enraged at
my perseverance, he gave me i blow which
threw rue down, and injured no so as to
force me to lomaiu in my ruorn several
days.
On tho first day that I cotpd Joave the
house having heard that the wife of him
who had repulsed me so often, was til, I a-,
gain resolved to visit him. Cti my way to j
his house, I met him in tlie'Slreet. “So 1
nor,” 1 said to him, “I have heard bad i
news.’.’ “What news?” returned he, in a
tone of contempt. “That your lady is ve
ry sick.” “What business is that of
yours ?” “It is my busines, ffenor; for I
leel a desire to piay for her. Will you not
accept this book, the Word of God, which j
has given peace to my soul, :nd will give |
peace to yours, if you will receive it ?”—j
Then to get clear of me, lie to ik the hook,’
paid me, and hurried away.
Five days after, I was ill ifw room, nurl )
saw this gentleman coming towards the j
house with the Testament in Ins hand. I
thought immediately that he came to return <
the book and maltreat me, anil 1 hastily j
locked lay door, lie approached, anil ‘
knocked at my door; I remained quiet,;
and lie withdrew. And hour after, 1 saw 1
j him again coming : and soon perceived - that !
lie had pushed a paper under inv doftr. 1 j
took it, and read the following words ;
“Sir :—Tin,ugh l am unwfnliv to speak
! to you. if you will conic to my house, inv I
! wife and I. shall be glad to !iir you pray i
| for your enemies.

I took the note to my friend, the pastor, j
who thought it imprudent to trust myself
alone in the house of the gem email; and 1
went in his company. As scin as the offi-,
e'er *aiv me, lie embraced inc( and said, “1
have rend the book to my vise, ami bee
your pardon for the brutal mmnerin which
I have treated yon. Forgive me.” I re
plied, “Dear sir, it is not to me that you
should return thanks, but lo 4od. Let us
pray to Him,” When we h and done so, 1
took tlic Testament and read t chapter, to
which h i paid the most serin s attention.—
His wife also received me \vi !i the greatest
kindness.
“There is one jhing. said he, “which 1
wish you to ptotnise me ; t at is, if you

! retains his faculties to an estonisliing de

Oil Lord’s day of last week we had the;
j privilege of conversing will him in regard j
;to !us employment dining th? winter. He |
| informed us that since Deccrber last he had 1
preached every Sabbath, util several times
j during the week likewise.
In the afternoon, at tliorequest of the
j pastor of Broad-st. Uapiit Church, lie
! made the fit st prayer, v* hi Ii he pml'aced
I substantially with these remarks: We are
now about to pray—but we shall not
change the mind of God bi our prayer if
we were to pray until weldrop into oui

is perfectly right and needl no alteration.

! ho had two objects to pray o—one was the ■
congregation, and the other the great Fath-1
er in heaven ; and the prayei to the con- j
gregatioo is. “ We pray you in Christ's;
stead be ye reconciled to God.” And now :
let us untie in prayer to Him that he would
grant us poor sinners the metev we need-1
iu the evening he preached a sermon of!
fifty-five minutes, from the passage in Reve- •
lations—“ 1 saw an ar.gel fly mg through
the midst of heaven, havit.g the everlasting 1
gospel to preach, was listened to |
with interest and astonishment. Though 1
it was somewhat scattering, to use a com
mon phrase, yet there was manifestly
method in it peculiar lo himself, and many
thoughts truly valuable. His strength of
lungs, and accuracy of scripture quotation,
were, indeed wonderful; arid hi* vigor l
action and great animation are not often j
surpassed by ministers in the metidian of l
life. The Bible must have been closely j
studied by him in former yeais. His ani
mation was such frequently, in speaking 01.
the blessedness of the Redeemer, that he
would clap jiis bands under trie exercise.
He referred to the two previous sermons in ,
his opening, that he had preached in the
same pulpit, am! gave the main divisions!
with astonishing accuracy—showing Ids,
memory, as well as his other lacu'ties, re- !
markably sound, and that he is mimed the!

Horrors of Transportation —On Mon
day evening a lecture was delivered in the
large room of the Eagle Hotel, Wigan, on
the above subject, by a mail of respectable
appearance, who denominated liimsclf “a
returned convict.’’ The lecture was nu
merously attended. The object of the lec
turer was to remove the popular fallacy,
“dial transportation is hut another name fur
colonization, and that die condition of the
transport is nearly, if not altogether, equal
u> ibut ol'tlio emigrant.” He commenced
Ins lecture by observation* on the statis
tics ol crimo, during which lie stated that
the number ol criminals in the United
States was one in every 3500 ; in Wales
one in every 2000 ; in Scotland, one in
every 1100; in England, one in every
740; and in Ireland, one in every 490 ; am)
in NewSonfli Wales.one in every 22!
He then described tire sale of the trans
ports, on their arrival, which he stated to
he effected in a precisely similar manner to
that of the American slave hut that toe treat
ment ol the lianspnrt was considerably
worse after his transfer, lib master having
little Or no interest in his preservation,—
His description of Norfolk Island,—that
“second Ellen,” was graphic and tasteful;
; but the details of the treatment of the re
: transported convict were harrowing in the
; extreme. He concluded his lecture by
giving extract* from the evidence of late
Governors ol Norfolk Island, given before
a CmnmKfee of the House of Commons,
in which it was almost gegeiallv stated
that it would be more mercitul to burn the
convicts at the stake than to compel them
to emlute the tortures awaiting them at
Norfolk Island.

How to know .dmericans. — Walking slow
ly through the brilliantly illuminated arch
way, (says Dr. Durbin, iu his “Observa
i tions in Europe,”) we found our “'progress
; slopped, at last, by a temporary bar, pliic
i ed across the way, designed to prevent vis
’ itors; from approaching 100 near the work
; men and engine. We expressed our re
| gret at being thus arrested, to a man behind
the bar.
•‘Thomas,” said he to a little boy near
him, “we must let these American gentle
men pass.”
“And pray, how did you know we were
Americans ?” we exclaimed w ith one
voice.
“Oh,” said he, “I knew that you were
! Americans as you came towards me—yom
walk showed it. I can tell an American
by his walk as far as 1 can see him. Ami
then, besides, when you spake, the first
word that you uttered was •well.’ ”
So much for national traits.
.1 Narrow Escape. —On Friday, a son
of Mr. Saxton, ol the firm of Saxton and
j Miles, New York, about five years of age,
i drank neatly an ounce and a half of spirits
! of turpentine, which bad been incautiously
; left within his reach by one of the ilomcs
; tics. The effect was immediate and would
! have been fatal, had not the servant’s
j screams attracted the attention of Mrs. Sa.x
----’ ton, who oil hearing the girl’s hurried ex
j planatiou, ran to the adjoining room, seized
| a flask of sallad oil and knocking oti’ the
| neck by a blow on the table, poured the cotv
] tents down the child’s throat. The innth
i er’s presence of mind and prompt aettoti
! saved the child’s life* and may seive as a
valuable lesson to other similarly circum
stanced.

preaching the “eveilasting gospel” to the
various Indian tribes in our own country.

our diuretic* in the South, and of our own
Slate especially ; and we would respect
fully urge upon our brethren, in making
their conn ibutions for other good objects,
that they do not forget the pom Indians;
.whoseclaims upon our benevolence have
been too long overlooked ; and whose mis

sympathies.

in the hands of brother Win. S. Siokes,
who is out treasuier. to be sent by him u,
