A True Preacher.
I venerate the man whose heart is warm,
Whose hands are pure, whose doctrine and whose life,
Coincident, exhibit lucid proof
That he is honest in the sacred cause—
s To such 1 render more than mere respect, /
• Whose actions say, that they respect themselves.
Wopld I describe a preacher—such as Paul,
Were-he on earth, would hear, approve and own—
I would express him simple, grave, sincere ;
In doctrine uncorrupt; in language plain,
And plain to manner, ‘descent, solemn, chaste
And natural in gesture ; much impressed
Himself, as conscious of his awful charge,
And anxious mainly that the flock he feeds
‘May feel it too; affectionate in look,
And tender in address, as well becomes
• A messenger of grace to guilty men.
Lneek divine simplicity in him
>Who handles things divine; and all besides,
<4Though learned with labor, and tho’ much admired
/. By curious eyes and judgment ill-informed,
f To me is odious.
He that negotiates between God and man,
As God’s embassador, the grand concerns
Os judgment and of mercy, should beware
. ‘ Os ligMness in his speech. ’Tis pitiful
To cgffurt a grin, when you should WO o a soul;
■r j To'break a jest, whed pity* should inspire W
a Pathetic exhortation: and t’ address
The skittish fancy with facetious tales,
When sent with God’s commission to the heart.
t . [Couper.
. The BeautifuL
The beautiful, the beautiful!
Where do we find it not ?
It is an all pervading grace,
Andlighteth every spot.
It sparkles on the ocean-wave—
It glitters in the dew ;
We see it in the glorious sky,
And in the flow’rets hue.
On mountain-top, in valley deep,
We find its presence there ;
The beautiful, the beautiful!
It liveth everywhere.

Habits in the Pulpit.
> If my clerical friends will allow a little
kind criticism, I should like to hold up a
few pictures, true to life, for the notice of
such as may have need of them, hoping
the reflection will do no harm.
I iiptice in some cases a handkerchief
habit in the pulpit, which has led me
to inquire if the use of that very nec
essary article is a part of theological
training. I notice some ministers take
it out of their pocket, as they do their
sermon, and lay it on the pulpit.—
Some spread it out lengthwise through]
the middle of the Bible ; some roll it umj
and tuck it under the Bihla: some ejkrttke
it every few moments over tfteiT7leads;
some clench it in their hand, as if they
were going to throw it at the audience ;
and some keep crowding it into their
pockets, and pulling it out again, with a
nervous movement, as if they did not
know what other use to make of their
hands. I went once to hear a popular
young preacher, and as much as half of
his sermon was made up of pocket hand
kerchief; and the most of the other half
was gold watch and scraps of poetry.
Some, I notice, at the close of almost
every sentence, and especially at the cli
maxes and divisions of the sermon, or,
when about to present an illustration, ap
ply it with a great deal of force to their
nose. I could not see as there was any
occasion for such an affectionate partiality
to this very prominent and useful mem
ber, and am at a loss to learn how such a
troublesome habit should be formed, un
less it is considered as something clerical ,
and becoming the pulpit. I notice some
men of high standing, and wearing the
highest theological honors, have this hand
kerchief habit, and some excessively ; so
much so, that my sympathies are very
strongly wrought upon, and I often wish
I could help them ; for to do all this labor
in addition to preaching, seems too much.
But then, again, the conviction is |f<Jrced
upon me that some ministers consider
this habit an ornament to their preaching
rather than a defect, as giving force ana
impressiveness to their eloquence; for
quite a distinguished divine, on a certain
occasion, while preaching with his usual
eloquence and power, said, “ brethren, I
sometimes illustrate my subject in this
manner;” and suiting the action to tte
and blew a blast loud enough to
“ the seven sleepers.”
Now, I am a friend to the clergy ;
of them are my personal friends, but
some habits occasionally seen in the pul
pit, I very much dislike. Some swagger
like auctioneers; some stick their feet
out behind, or crook them np before,
standing on one leg, while praying or
preaching. All such habits, which serve
to divert the attention of a
hearers from the grand subjects of the
pulpit, should be avoided, that the pulpit
may accomplish the purpose which God
designed. AMICUS.
From the Morning Star.
Minister’s Day of Rest.
It is conceded that men and anima’ i
need one day of rest ’in seven; the la\4
of the physical and the mental constiti
tion demand this for all men. Pastors c 1
churches are no exception; and if the;
do not observe a proper period of rest
week after week as other men do, impair
ed health and shattered constitution, c ■
premature old age, must be the result i
a few years. The Pastor’s labors of
Sabjiath, as the general usage is amon;
us, are exceedingly exhausting. He mus
preach two sermons with the accompany
ing exercises, and lead a third social meet
ing, or give a lecture and sometimes als< i
have a Bible class. To these labors of tb
Sabbath, so abundant, are usually adde<
a Saturday of close study and researcli
giving two consecutive days at least, o
almost oppressive labor and exciting inf
terest; so that it is not surprising that oi
the third day, when this pressure of deCB
interest is for awhile
earnest minister, should feel a g<Sa"SSR
“ Mondayish” and worn. ;
We say then, simply, let him rest 7?
him on Monday, as others on SundawT
have a day of rest. Rest from close study}
from severe reading, from writing, froii
all hard and taxing mental effort. Hi
may, on Monday, take any proper manw
al exercise, may square up the odds an|
ends of neglected chores, make a few calls,
on the sick, or indulge the newspaper on
magazine a bit—but good sense and pas
toral experience say, let ministers, as oth
er Professions and'other men, have their
weekly day of rest , and they had better
take it regularly and when most needed?
—that is, on Mondays.
What we have here said, should still he
urged. Proverbially, ministers are soon
gray-haired, pale-faced, and physically en
feebled. Why? Perhaps one is ready to
say, from neglect of manual, out door e'x
ercise; from too studious and sedentary
habits. This may be the cause, partly.—
But for the above affects there are a few
other causes—a crushing weight of re
sponsibility and of anxiety is felt—and
thus they need seasons in which to unbend
from toil and relax from anxiety; in short,
a day of rest per week as other men.
This rest for the pastor, this weekly
day of rest, has not been carefully enough
guarded by himself nor have the churches
enough given to the faithful ministers, va
cations for a few weeks of rest during the
■ loi)g year, as should be done, and is done
infmost other divisions of employment.—
’ Too much labor is demanded of Sabbaths
—•not enough rest is taken—and the re
sult too often is physical and nervous pros
tration. However, to learn late is better
tnan never to learn.

“Mr. Bowen in youth was a bold and hardy soldier ;
but in his manhood and his Christian devotion the
qualities of a Hero born in him have found a field which
no soldier ever has a chance to enter. To penetrate
alone into an entirely unknown and hostile region; to
go straight through the gate of a city peopled by hun
dreds of thousands who looked on him with the same
wonder as they would on an angel or a fiend dropping
down from the clouds; to say before the Court and
King of a great nation, in whose presence be stood ar
raigned, as Bowen did, “The God of Heaven is mj
King ; lama soldier, and this book, (referring to the
inure/, laraiy bwuiu, unn mm no iviiquci nia rraj ftvm
city to city, and through people after people, is an
achievement such as an Alexander never would have
dreamed of undertaking. It is comparatively cowardice
i to be a conqueror shielded on all sides by an invincible
army.

belong to such a pioneer.” —National Intelligencer.

FAMILY SEWING MACHINES,
Promote ,, the leisure , health and happiness of home.
REASONS WHY THIS MACHINE IS UNIVERSALLY
PREFERRED OVER ALL OTHERS.
1 BECAUSE it is the only Sewing Machine in the
• world ever invented, so constructed as to fully
meet the demands of families, for general use.
2. It is very simple and is never liable to get out oi
order.
8. It makes a seam which will not rip, though every
third stitch is cut.
4. It is not a Shuttle Machine.
5. It sews with two needles, making any length stitch
desired.
6. It sews from two ordinary spools, and thus all
trouble of winding thread is avoided ; while the same
Machine can be adapted at pleasure, by a mere change
of spools, to all varieties of work.
1. The same Machine runs silk or linen thread, and
common spool cotton, with equal facility.
8. This Machine will sew in the slieves of a coat with
the same ease and facility that it sews a straight seam.
9. This Machine can be run to make one thousand
five hundred stitches per minute.
10. The seams are elastic as the most elastio fa
bric, so that it is free from all liability to break in wash
ing, ironing or otherwise.
11. The stitches made by this machine are more
beautiful than any other made either by band or ma
chine. For sale by

PRESIDENT NOTT’S LECTURE ON
TEMPERANCE .J -
SHELDON, BLAKEMAN & CO., have now ready a
valuable and important work ON THE USE OF
INTOXICATING LIQUORS, by President Nott, of
Union College, with an able Introduction by Prof.
Taylor Lewis, with an appendix containing Mr. Dela
van’s letter to Governor King.
The matured opinions and the fruits of long and pa
tient study of a great question by such a man as Presi
dent Nott, of Union College, deserve profound atten
tion. In these Lectures he exhausts the most difficult
and delicate subject in the whole field of Temperanco
inquiry, leaving scarcely anything more to be said or
studied, so that his work may be justly regarded as a
manual for the use of every man who would be prepared
to meet and defend the most sacred truths which the
discussion has brought into dispute.
Dr. Nott is a man of great sagacity, of keen percep
tion, of cautious analysis, and his views are not lightly
formed nor loosely held. He has a reason for them,
and a good reason, and he gives his reasons with a
clearness that all can see, and a force that all must feeL
Professor Tayler Lewis is a scholar of wide celebrity,
having no superior in Greek erudition. He has careful
ly gone over the ground occupied by Dr. Nott, revised
his positions, traced out every root of every word that
needs to be examined in settling points at issue, and
the results of his extended studies are embodied in the
elaborate and very able Introduction prefixed to this
volume.
Mr. Delavan’s letter to Governor King is summary of
the present position and past progress of the Temper
ance Reformation in this country. The facts he has
gathered are intensely interesting and important, pro
ducing a strong impression on the most intelligent
minds. They ought to cheer and stimulate all friends
of the cause.
A volume with such argument, learning, and facts,
ought to be immediately spread over the whole coun
try. The people must have these thoughts, to preserve
what has been gained, and to push the cause onward to
complete and universal success. To aid in this diffu
sion of the most important Temperance work of this
age, the publishers solicit the co-operation of all Agents
and Officers of Temperance Societies, and all friends of
the cause in all parts of the United States. The work
will be put so low to Agents that it may be sold in great
numbers, and to clubs at a large discount. It is a 12mo.
volume of about 350 pages. Price sl.
To Clubs and Societies of 26 persons 76 cents.

From the Richmond Religious Herald.
We have been borne through the perusal of this book
with unflagging interest. Like Theodosia Ernest, it is
designed for the illustration and defense of our denom
inational principles; and without detracting in the
slightest from the enviable reputation of that work we
do not hesitate to pronounce this more .ornate in style;
more artistic in plot; more thrilling in incident. It
cannot fail of a wide popularity and an extensive cir
culation.
