attributed by a great American statesman to !
the eatly teachings of a mother. The fol- j

BETTER MOMENTS.
My mother’s voice how often creeps
Its cadence on iny lonely hours !
Like healings sent on wings of sleep,
Or dew lo the unconscious flowets.
1 might forget Iter melting prayer
While pleasure’s pulses madly fly;
Hut in the still, unbroken air,
Her gentle tones come stealing by
And years of sin and manhood tlee,
And leave mo at my mother’s knee.
The book of nature, and the print
Os beauty on the whispering sea,
Give still to me some lineament
Os w hat i have been taught to be ;
My heart is harder and perhaps
My manliness has drunk up tears,
And there's a mildew in the lapse
Os a few miserable years—
But Nature’s book is even yet
With all my mother’s loa.-nns writ
I have been out at < veil title.
Beneath a moonlight sky of spring,
When eatllt was garnished like a bride,
And night hail on her silver wing ;
U hen bursting buds and growing grass,
And ivii eis leaping lo the light,
And all that makes the pulses pass
With wilder fleelings.lhroiiged the night;
W lien all was beautv, then have !,
With friends on whom my love is flung,
Like my till on wings of A ruby;
dazed tip where evening’s lamp is hung.
And when the beauteous spirit there
Filing over us its golden chain.
My mother’s voice came on the air,
Like the light dropping of the rain ;
And resting on some silver star,
The spirit of a bended knee,
I’ve pouted a deep and fervent prayer
That our eternity might Lie,
To rise in heaven like stars at night,
And ‘.mail a living path of liglil!

Died on the 26th April, of a Chronic
disease under which she had been laboring
for 17 yearn, Mrs. Catharine M. Mar
leu, consort of Jas. 11. Mailer, and daugh
ter of Elisha Allen, Esq., of Warren Cos.
Slie was confined to her bed 22 days be
fore her death, was *l2 years of age, and
spent half'of that time in the cause of Zion.
She w as a member of a missionary Baptist
church in Sumpter Cos., da., and died in
full hope of a better world ami a glorious
immortality. Sho lias left a husband and
eight children to mourn this afflictive be
reavement, hut they are condoned with the
recollection of tho evidence afforded of her
preparedness for death. She inquired of
one of Iter attendants when neat Iter end, if
It was not a very clear bright day, and was
nnsweted that it was. Sho said in reply,
it would always be bright with her. These
were her last words.
Departed this life, in Oglethorpe county,
Ga. on tin: l ltli of March 1846, Elizabeth
Hales, the widow of Christopher Hales,
aged about seventy-five years. This vet
eran of the Cross, joined the Baptist chuicli
outlie 14 1 1 1 of November, 1801. She
lived a pious, orderly member to the day
of her death. To go to meeting was her
delight, her theme religion. Sho never
spoke evil of any person, and lived peacea
bly with all mankind. Her husband was
a deacon of the cliureli. All their children
are members of the church. The writer
has lived a near neighbor anil been person
ally acquainted with all the family lor 25
years. This old sister seemed to enjoy re
ligion as much as any person in iny ac
quaintance. During her deathbed afflictii-ms,
1 visited her often, and conversed with Iter
about her hope in Jesus. She said it was
steadfast. She did not dread to die.—
When it was the Lord’s time, she was
willing to go. She frequently requested
public prayer, and not more than 50 min
utes before her death, sho asked me to pray.
I did so. 1 then asked her if sho was will-1
ing to die. She replied, yes- Then there I
seemed a pleasant smile lo play upon her
countenance until she expired. She clepar-!
teil without a groan ora struggle. She lias
left a numerous train of relatives anil friends
to mourn her loss, hut they mourn not as
those without hope. She is gone, sve hope,
to that rest which remained! for the people
of God. JOHN BAUGHN.
Fart’l amid the .Ups.
The Inflowing sketch of an inteiesting
scene witnessed in the vnllius ol dm Alps,
three hundred and twenty years since, is
from the fourth volume of D’Aubunie's ex
cellent History.
At the opening of one of the lateral val
leys that leads into the North ern Alps on
the batiks of the Grand Eau, that falls in
thunder from the glaciers of the Diahleret,
is situated the small town of Aigle, one of
the most southern in Switzerland. For
about silty years it hail belonged to Berne,
with the lour parishes (maitdemens) which
are under its jurisdiction, namely, Aigle,
Bex, Allot), and the chalets, scattered in
the lolly valleys of the Orinotids. It is in
this country that the second epoch of the
Swiss Reformation was destined to begin.
In the winter ol 1526-6, a foreign school
muster, named Ursinus, armed in this
humble district. He was a man of middle
stature, with red beard, and quick eyes,
and who, to a voice of thunder (says Beza)
united the feelings of a hero; his modest
lessons were intermingled with new and
strange doctrines. The benefices bem
abandoned by their titularies to iguoraiu
curates, the people, who were naturally of
rude and turbulent habits, had remained
without any cultivation. Thus did this
stranger, who was no other than Farel, meet
with new obstacles at every step.
He was on loot, accompanied by a sin
gle fiiend. Night had closed around them,
the rain fell in torrents, and the travellers,
in despair of finding their road, had sat
down midway, drenched with rain. “Ah'.”
; said Earel, “God, by showing me my
’ helplessness in these little things, has will
ed to teaeli me what I am in the greatest
without Jesus Christ!” At last Earel,
springing up, plunged into the marshes,
waded iluoiigh the waters, crossed vine
yards, fields, hills, forests, and valleys, and
at length reached his destination, covered
w ith mud, and soaked to the skin. In this
night of desolation, Farel had received a
new baptism. 11 is natural energy bad
been quelled ; lie became, for some time at
least, wise as a serpent and harmless as a
dove ; and, as not uufrequenlly happens to
men of such disposition, lie at first over
stepped Ins aim. Believing that he was
following the example of the apostles, lie
sought, in the words of Ecolampadius, “lo
circumvent by pious frauds the old serpent
that was hissing around him.” He repre
sented himself lo be a schoolmaster, anil
j waited until a door should he opened to him
I to appear as a Reformer.
Scarcely had Alagisier Ursinos quitted
| the sc/ioolioom and his ptinters, than, lak
] iog refuge in his modest chamber, fie be
! cam a absorbed in the Greek and Hebrew
! Scriptures, and the most learned treaties of
the theologians, ihe struggle between
Luther and Zwii.gL was commencing. To
which ol these two chiefs should the
French Reformer attach itself? Luther had
j been know n in France for a much longer:
! time than Zwiugle; yet Farel decided in ]
: luvor ol the lulu r. Mysticism hail tliatai;
! teriz-d the Germanic nations during the j
j .Middle Ages, and scholasticism those of
Roman descent. Jhe French were in!
closer relation with the dialectician Zwingle,’
| than with the mystic Luther; or rather,
they wcie the mediators between the two
great tendencies of the Middle Ages ; and
while giving to the Christian thought that
correct form which seems to be the provine*
of Southern nations, they became the in
filrumenis o! God to spread through the
chinch the fulness of life and of the Spirit
of Christ.
It was in this little chamber at Aigle,
that Farel read the first publication address
ed to the German by the Swiss Reformer.
“With wliai learning,” cries lie, “does
Zwingle scatter the darkness! with what
holy ingenuity he gams over tiie wise, and
what captivating meekness he unties with
a forcible erudition! Oh, that by the grace
ol God litis work may win over Luther, so
that the church of Christ, trembling from
such violent shocks, may at length find
peace !”—The schoolmaster, Ursinus,
excited by 6i> noble an example, gradually
set about instructing the parents as well as
the children. He at first attacked the doc
trine of purgatory, and next the invocation
of saints. “As Ibr the Pope, lie is nothing,”
said lie, “or almost nothing, in these parts;
and as lor the priests, provided they annoy
the people with all that nonsense, which
Erasmus knows so well how to turn into
ridicule, that is enough for them,” Ursin
us hail been some months at Aigle ; a door
was opened to him; a flock bail been col
lected there, and he believed the looked-for
momeut had arrived.
Accordingly, one day the prudent school
masters disappears.—“lam Willinui Far.
el,” said lie, “minister of the word of God.”
The terror of the priests and magistrates
was great, when they saw in the midst of
them that very man whose name had alrea
dy become so formidable. The school
master quitted his humble study, lie as
cended the pulpit, and openly preached
Jesus Christ to the astonished multitude.
The work of Ursinus was over,: Fatel was
himself again. It was then about the month
of March or April, 1527, and in that benu
tiful valley, whose slopes were brightening
iu the warm rays of the suit—all was fer
menting at the same time, the flowers, the
vineyards, and tho hearts of this sensible
but rude people. Yet the rocks that the
torrent meets, as it issues liom the Diah
lerets, and against which it dashes at every
step, as it falls from eternal snows, are more
trilling obstacles, than the prejudice and
hatred that, were shown ere long in this
populous valley to the word of God.
The Council of Berne, by a license of
tho 9tlt of March, had commissioned Fat- j
el to explain the Holy scriptures to the
j people of Aigle, and its neighborhood.—
I But the arm of the civil magistrate, by tlius
: mingling in religious affairs, served only to
j increase the irritation of men’s mind. The
j licit and lazy incumbents, the poor and ig
ooiant curates, were the first to cry out.—
I “It this man,” said they one to another,
j “continues preaching, it is all over with
uuir benefices and our cliureli,” —In the
midst of this agitation, the hailitl’ ot Aigle j
| and tkc governor of the font ntandeinens, I
Jacques de lluverea, instead ol supporting!
! die ininisier of their exc-elk-m-ec ol Berne,
eageil\ embraced the cause of the priests.
“The Empetor,” said they, “is about to
! declare war against all iiinovalois. A great
army w ill shortly arrive from Spain, to as
sist the Archduke Ferdinand.” l-'arel stood
linn. Upon this the bailiff and Rovetea,
exasperated by such boldness, interdicted
the heretic from every kind of instruction,
whether as minister til schoolmaster. But
Berne caused to be posted on tho doors of
all the chinches in the four uiandemcns, a
new device, dated the 3rd of July, in which
their excellentes, manifesting great dis
pleasure at this interdiction “of the very
learned Farel from the propagation of the
Divine Word, ordered all the officers of the
State to allow him to preach publicly The
doctrines of the Lord.”—This new procla
mation was the signal of revolt. On the
25th of July, great crowds assembled at
1 Aigle, at Bex. at Ollou, and in the Or
mond*, crying out, “No more (submission
to Berne! down with Farel!” From
words, they soon proceeded to -actions. At
Aigle the insurgents, headed by the fiery
1 Syndic, tore down the edict, anil prepared
‘ lO lall upon the Reformed. These uniting
with promptitude, surrounded Farel, re
solved to defend him. The two parties
l met face to face, and blood was mar flow-
iug. The lirra countenance of friends j*
of the gospel checked the paifisins of the ;
priests, who dispeised, and FateV quilting j
Aigle for a few days, carried ■Jj views’
farther.
