“Be Still and Know that lam God ” !
“ Be still”—thus speaks the lofty One,
Whose throne is fixed on high;
“ Be still”—fur I am God alone,
Os earth and sea and sky.
“ Be still and know that I am God,”
Nor let a murmuring word
Be heard beneath the rltnstening rod,
The (hastening of the Lord.
Be still ! he still 1 my troubled soul,
\\ bile storms and tempests blow ;
Though raging w inds aiound thee roll,
They cannot uv it brow.
For God is God amidst the storms
Which rage around thy path;
And he controls their wildest lorms
And curbs their utmost wrath.
Bo still 1 be still ! and fear no more 1
And know that God alone
Is God to-day and cverinoie,
The gtcnl unchanging One.
And though thy path lie dark anil drear,
Anti cheerless he thy way,
The Lord thy God is ever near
To turn thy night today.

Day ‘dawned. Within a curtained room,
Filled to faintness with perfume,
A Indy lay at point of doom.
Day closed. A child has seen the light,
But for the lady fair and bright,
She rested in undreaming night !
Spring came. The lady’s grave was green,
And near it ol’tenlimos was seen
A gentle hoy, with thoughtless mien.
Years (led. He wore a ntanly face,
And struggled in the world's rough race,
And won at last a lolly place.
And then hr died! Behold before ye
Humanity’s brief sum and story ;
Life, Death, and all there is of—Glory.
() H I T LJ A K Y.
Depaitetl lliis life, on the 4th of Februa
ry, in llie Oid year of his age, at his resi
dence in Hick’s T ‘own, Madison county, j
Florida, the Kcv. A. Moskly, after a pain
ful and lingering illness of lf> days. This
man ol God had been lor a number of years
tiie subject of great bodily infirmity. He
was born in Lenoir county, IN. CL, Decent- j
In r 1 I, 1784 ; born again August 15, 1850 ;
baptized November 1 ilh of the same year. !
Hi other Mosely was highly honotcd and J
respected in the land of his birth. I’riorto!
his entering the ministry, which occurred
in 1813, he held offices of distinction and
lilted them with credit, lint from the lime
lie entered the ministry, he liadbttlone ob
ject before Ins mind, the glory of God and
the salvation of souls. His removal to
Florida, in January, 1810, was induced by
great bodily indisposition, being tdllicletl
with bemorbage of lungs. Although be
was restored from ibis disease, yet lie suf
fered much from an asthmatic alTeciion.
As long as he was able to stand upon Zi
oil's walls, lie ceased not to preach Jesus.
It was not unusual for bis auditory to be
greatly distressed tin account of bis feeble
ness, and bis great zeal for the welfare of
souls. On all occasions the burden of bis
conversation was the plan of salvation, j
He delighted to dwell specially upon sorer j
eigu and unmerited grace; and regarded no J
one as entitled to hope in God’s grace, tin- !
less they abounded in the work of the Lord.
His social virtues were extremely tare. He
possessed the qualification of combining
the Christian with the companion so highly
that he endeared himself to all saints and
sinners. To him is awarded great tisohil
ness in the ministry ; yet his strong fort
was social, pious converse. He brought
those, with whom he was wont to exchange
pious thoughts and lellections, to feel that
lie breathed the very atmosphere of God's
presence. And none who knew him, bat
were thoroughly convinced that he was
dead to the world. His ministry was di
rected chiefly to the spiritual good of the
colored population, and he bad a strong
bold upon their confidence and affection.
Few men go down to the chambers of death
amid so great lamentation ; and none possi-:
bly possessed of so large a share of ardent i
affection, generous friendship, and liieli re-’
gird.
But death has done his work ; and hv it
a chasm has been created in our uonunuui
i v that cannot be tilled up. Not only does
a bereaved and distressed wife, and two af
llloted sons, feel and mourn their loss, bill
a whole community feel ii as one truly irre
parable. His last illness is full of interest.
Ills composure, his patience, his fortitude,
was manifest. The will o) God was bis
will, although he desired to depot and he
with Christ, which is fir belter. And not
withstanding lie lingered amid severe pain
for 15 days on lire shores of mortnlitv. the |
equilibrium of his mind was at no time dis
turned; and, on the very verge ofeiemitv, j
seemed to be in the exercise of his strong
est mental vigor.
Ho is gone, and truly a great man is fallen j
in Israel. “ Blessed are die dead that die j
in the Lord from henceforth ; yen, saith the
spiut, that they may rest from their labors, ,
and their works do follow them.”
A FRIEND.
The Biblical Recorder is respect
fully requested to copy die above, for the
satisfaction of the li lends of the deceased in
N. Carolina.
Died, in Warren county, on the Hub of
January last, Elisha Bprson, Esq., in the i
55 1 b year of his age.
In the subject of this obituary, was con
rentrated rs many virtue*, it: all probability,
as any individual in tins whole section of j
country, lie had been a member of the
Sweet Water Baptist Church for several j
vests, and a part of the lime an acting dea
eon, the important duties <d which office he
! discharged with promptness and efficiency.
; On account of his death, the church, the i
community, and the county, have ail sus
tained a graat loss. Asa Baptist, lie was j
j consistent in his views, generally, of Bible I
doctrine and practice, being well balanced,
firm, and not at all wavering. He filled
several important offices in the county with
| credit to himself and satisfaction to his con-1
stituenis. He was the undeviating friend j
of the indigent widow and orphan, lie)
was kind and benevolent in ail tins relations
iie sustained to the human family. lie was i
truly hearty in ail the benevolent institu- ■
lions of the day, ami was an efficient ailvo- ;
i cate o! the temperance reformation.
But all these virtues could not screen him
from the ruthless band of death. Being
asked, a few hours before bis death, in re
gard to his lutuie prospects, lie said he was
willing lo die—that lie trusted in that God
. upon whom he had relied, and to whom he
| had committed the keeping of his soul (or
! some years past. His relations, the church,
his acquaintances, all are left to sorrow,
i “ but not as those who have no hope.”
i “ Why do we mourn departed fiiends,
: Or shake At death’s alarms?

Treatment of Children at School,
iiv n. s. it. woodward.
Children under eight years of age should j
j not usually be confined to the school-room
j more than one hour at a time, nor rnoie
than four hours in a day.
j These hours should afford considerable
diversity of employments, so as to enable
the child to change his posture frequently,
and to be more or less upon his feet; and
also lo change the subject of thought, so
that the mind shall not he occupied by one
subject 100 long or 100 intensely.
Intensity should be carefully avoided—
it leads directly to disease u! the brain, !
j which often probably arise* from this lausc.
Precocity is generally the result of a mor
bid condition of this organ, either function
jal or organic; the former may generally be
j cured by timely attention—the latter ex
hibits itself in epilepsy, insanity, or an im
becility of mind, or proves fatal by the oc
cmrence of inflammation or convulsions.
Watchfulness cannot begin too early, to !
guard against evils fraught with misery to j
the future.
It a child exhibits any symptoms of pro- !
cecily, it should be taken immediately
from books, and be permitted to ramble and j
play in the open air, or engaged in manual I
labor, and such amusements as will give i
rest to the mind and health and vigor lo the j
body.
The recess of school, for children of
eight years and under, should be long, the |
play active and even noisy—fur die lungs
j require strength by exercise as well as tho
j muscles. Every child should be required
I to unite in the sports of play-time.
Fifteen minutes are a short time for re*
cess; half an hour is better, particularly in
! summer.
During the recess the school-room ought
lo be thrown open in warm weather, and !
die windows he dropped a little way ir. |
cold weather, so as thoroughly to ventilate j
the apartments. We have hardly learned
yet that pure air is equally as important to
health and life as good nourishment and
pure water.
In school regulations, regard is usually |
had to mental and moral improvements on
[ ly. We forget that we have bodies, the
; preservation and training of which are not
J less necessary to the young than the acqui- 1
j sition of knowledge. Without health we I
j can have little enjoyment. With it, we
I can learn all that is neenssarv with ease, if j
jwe are not in too great haste. No limit is j
j given to the ago, in which the vigorous and
| healthy may acquire useful knowledge.
It is of little use to make gteal acquire
j incuts, ii. in doing so, we sow the seeds of
I disease, which will destroy the happiness j
j vul viufollicle* <i life.
Beautiful Orange Island in the Parish
loj St. Marlin, La. — Those who imagine
I that there are in Attakapas no towering
; moil 11 lain*, row untie valleys, sylvan Mens,
enchanting groves nor christal lakes, are
| greatly mistaken, as they will be coni ine- ■
ed on visiting our coast bordering on the
gulf ol Mexico, in Orange Island, or
1 “Millers Island,’ as it is sometimes ca!l
----i ed, ail these beauties of landscape are com
bined. We have never seen a more en
chaining spot, or one to which ivo would j
sooner wish to retiie from the cares and
anxieties of the world.
There is not, perhaps, on the earth a j
! spot for which Nature lias tlene more to. !
wards pleasing the fancy or gratifying die !
wanis of man than she lias for Orange Is- ;
land. It is al present owned by Mr. F.
Miller, and a portion ol it is cultivated ns a
cotton plantation. It is situated in the par
ish ol Si. Marlin, about nine miles from
New Iberia, bounded on one side by lake
IVignetir and on the other by ihe ‘Petite
\nsc, and contains four thousand acres oi l
arable land, and one hundred acres of vvood
, land. On the north side it bln fib up to-’
wards the lake to the height of one him- I
. dred feet, and on the summit of this hill
fftere are some of the most magnificent for
p! trees we have ever seen. Here Mr. j
Miller lias elected iris from
v 1 deli lie can take a view of cntiie es
tate. In front there U a L>vtf>. ar.don the
sides of the hill ate beautifuiimrange, and
magnolia groves. Lake is three

, wide, which lias a depth of folk leet and a
sandy bottom. In it may be (flute! almost
j every description of fresh wider fish, and

When Mr. Millet purchased tljis island, in
1832, there were on it one hundred and fif
ty orange trees, which are iloyJ about thir
ty years old: Mr- M. has nnce planted
out about nine hundred trees, ikost of which
arc bearing, and yield a revenvj of three or
four thousand dollars p.r, jDifcm. Those
trees have withstood tlje cV-rest host,
; while trees in all other sectioftof the cotin
• try have been killed. Last aJjy Mr. Mil
■ ler sold in New Orleans, ESj/sville, and
Cincinnati about threu thousand- five hun
dred dollars worth oforanges.2 The soil is
remarkable (or its fertility, aiuiiliere is not
a healthier spot in the countrjL Attached
to this estate there is an eimne be extent of

numbers under tiie controlling influence of

ers, and all llieir endowments lo the service
of God in those departments of labor or of
suffering to which lie may call them ?
Considerations such as these should lead I
to humble, and fervent, and continued piav-j
er in behalf of these Institutions; and die
more particularly so, as at this time there j
is a much smallet number than usual of!
candidates for the ministry, [i is so at the

A work Inis recently been published un
• ( ' er **’ie title “Life in California.” The lol
| lowing is an extract from the noiire of it iu
die ‘Presbyterian’ published in'Phila.
1 lie author inings into pioinfneni notice
the missionary establishments of the coun
try, so called, and Ins pictorial illustrations,
lor the most part are confined to these.—
1 hese establishments, the reader must
know, ;irn for the special spiiinial benefit of
j ll,O “alive Indians, and the pecuniary profit
lof their superintendents. We will <>ive a
i brief extract or two, by way of illustrating
| the kind o! spiritual instimitimi which the
| natives receive from their popish overseers.
| At the mission of Si. Louis Key, “mass is
and uly offered, and die greater portion of the
Indians attend ; but it is not unusual to see
| numbers ol them driven along by aloades,
and, under ihe whip s lash, loreed to lire
very door of tho sanctuary !” They must
be incorrigible sinners to he reluctant to at
tend daily mass ! but they get well disci
plined lor it; for the author subjoins that
| “many eltempt to escape from the severity
of the religious discipline at the mission.—
They I'rc pursued and generally taken,
| when they are Hogged, and an iron clog
i' s fastened to their legs, serving as an ad
: diiional punishment, and a warning to oth
ers.” Now, after that, who can say that
Roman Catholic missionaries are not verv
zealous to convert and save the so.ds of
poor Indians ! No thing line a goftd flagel
l ition, and ah iron clog at U;o heels’, to
make a mail aspire after heaven ! Although
the reverend latl-icrs are very rigid in the
matter of mass, they are the most lenient of
men in other things. Ihe author attended
mass on Sunday, at the mission ol St, Ga-
Uriel, where, lie says, “he admired the ap
parent devotion of the multitude,” and was
charmed with the music. After the ser
vice, the reverend rather, i. e. the priest,
was accompanied by the musicians lo his
quarters ; “there they remained for half an
hour, performing waltzes and’ marches J”
I he Sabbath was not yet appropriately fin
ished, for the latter pan ol the day the au
-1 filer saw ihe Indians “scatters-4 in groups 1
j around the mission,” betting wildly on a !
j h°rse race, and gambling iivay “their
clothes, beads, baubles of all kinds, and e
ven their wives and children!” and yet
their spiritual advisers, who could lash
them for not attending daily mass, had it
not in tiicir hearts to interrupt their inno
cent recreations ! Now, if the reader is a-1
| fra id tho author slanders his neighbors, lie
i ,las only to read the book, and he will dis- j
. cover, with a few such siips as these, that |
he inclines favorably to these establishments j
.and their hospitable superintendents. The!
second part of the book is rather a disjoint
ed performance of a priest, hut if is sfi|! cu
rious and worth reading.

The Jiurefrol Printer Roy The
Pittsburg “Morning Ariel,” under this cap
tion, gives a short history of a distinguished
citizen of Pennsylvania, as follows :
“Thirty years ago, said lie, a barefooted
boy floated down the Susquehana river, on
an humble raft, and arrived at Harrisburg,
Penn. He came from the North, and be
longed to a large family, with all his world-!
ly goods in a little pocket handkerchief, lie i
smight arid obtained employment in a prill-i
ting office as an apprentice. From an ap
prentice to a journeyman, to a reporter, then j
editor, the hatefooted printer boy worked !
his way against obstacles which the strug-j
gling poor only know. The persevering!
follower in Franklin's footsteps began to j
realize the fruits of ids patient toil and pri- j
vatiou. The young aspirant became Prin-;
ter of die State; and by frugal management i
was soon enabled to accomplish lire object
nearest to Ids heart—die establishment of
hig mother in a home above want—in die
possession sf every Comfort she could de
sire. His brothers next were his care, and I
like Napoleon, had a strong arm with
which to aid them ; an indomitable perse
verance that nr,thing could successfully ob
struct. In a few years; they too, with Ids
sisters, were independent of the world, the
once barefooted printer hoy was in posses
sion of affluence, surrounded by a young
ami affectionate family. ,
He did not slop here, lie was the friend
!of die friendless, the patron of merit, the ,
encmirager of industry. Ho rose in honor
j and in office, at Harrisburg, hungry and j
; weary, laid down his bundle on a pile of!
wet paper, and asked to become a printer’s
| apprentice, was elected Senator in Con- j
igiess! That matt is Simon Cameron, of
I Pennsylvania.”
Never mind it Dear. —Mary Mil man
had so often heard her mother say, ‘Never
mind it dear! dial when any little accident
happened lo her play mums, even if site
were alone, she used to say to herself,
! ‘Never mind it, dear!’ This little saying
| had done Mary a great deal of good, for ii
| had taught her In bear that meekly, which i
used to put her out of temper.
One day as I went by the door of die :
; room where Mary was nursing tier doll.
! die doll fell down and its nose was broken,
when Mary cried out directly, as site pick
ed it up, ‘Nevermind it, dear!’Oh, thought
I, ‘I wish we could meet our troubles in the
same spirit.’ Mary’s mother brings up her
little girl in the fear of God, and leaches
tier not only lo lie patient under trials, lull
also lo he grateful for every blessing she
enjoys. Christian mothers are gtcat mer
cies.
On deeds of lovpg intent.
They mould the youthful mind;
And as the twig is bent,
When heavenly grace is sent,
The tree will he inclined!
