congenial to our native capacities, and
most worthy of imitation. We cannot
equally succeed in everything, and should
therefore study to confine ourselves to
the department vfe are best fitted for—in
a word, to be true own nature.
Books, however, £ not the only source
of imitation and The va
ried pictures of-human life—the lights and
clouds—the sadness and mirth in our dai
ly path—the sweet delight of infancy—
the silvery laugh of childoood—the ma
ternal affections, and subdued passions of
riper years—the spells of home—the sul
lying breath of the world—time’s chang
es —man’s destiny—these, to an observing
mind, may afford an exnaustless fountain,
whence the deficiencies of originality may
be supplied.
Nature, too, produces an innumerable j
variety of objects. The sun —the stars — |
the rainbow—the ocean—c loads and
storms—winds—light and darkness —mu-
sic, birds and flowers—these, alone, are
strange enough and strong enough for all
the purposes of interest and instruction.— !
To imitate these, and draw from them :
rich gems of thought, requires a genius
that bears some feeble, some remote re
semblance to the Great Original, who pro
duces perfection of beauty, without any
visible material.
Alas! in the deficiences of our mental
powers—in the want of high and holy
original perception— how forcibly are we
reminded of a birthright lost, “a bright
ness from our nature passed away.”
Let me pray with Milton,
“ What in me is dark, illume,
What is low, raise and support.”
“0! guide thou right
My thoughts’ weak pinion clear mine inward
sight,
The eternal springs of beauty to discern,
Welling beside thy throne: —unseal mine ear,
Nature’s true oracles in joy to hear:
Keep my soul wakeful still, to listen and to ■
learn.”
Deacons of the Olden Time.
Deacon John Benedict was a worthy |
old man, and enjoyed many claims to re- j
spect. lie was not only a deacon, but a !
.1 ustice of the Peace; moreover, he was i
tin: father of Aunt Delight—of whom I !
desire ever to speak with reverence. She,
not being a beauty, was never married,
and hence, having no children of her own,
she combed and crammed the heads of
other people’s children. In this way she !
was eminently useful in her day and gen
eration. The deacon respected the law,
especially as it was administered in his
own person. He was severe upon those
who violated the Statutes of the State,
but one who violated the statutes of dea
con John Benedict committed an unpar
donable sin. He-was the entire police of
the meeting-house on Sunday, and not a
boy or girl, or even a humble-bee, could
offend without condign punishment.
Nevertheless, the deacon is said in one
case —rather before my time—to have met
liis match. There was in the village a
small, smart, nervous woman, with a vig
orous clack, which, once set agoing, was
hard to stop. One day she was at church,
and having carried her dinner of mince-pie ,
in a little cross-handled basket, she set it i
under the seat. In the midst of sermon- !
time r. small dog came into the pew, and ■
gutting behind her petticoats, began to |
devour the pie. She heard what was go- j
ing on, and gave him a kick. Upon this j
the dog backed out with a yelp, but !
bringing the dinner basket, hung across
his neck, with him. Back, back lie went,
across the pew, in the broad aisle.
“Oh, dear!” said the woman in a shrill
voice, “ the dog’s got my dinner! There! ;
i've spoken loud in meeting-time! What
will Deacon Benedict say? Why! I’m
talking all the time. What shall I do?”
“ Hold your tongue !” said the deacon, :
who was ia his official seat, fronting the
explosion. The words operated tike a
charm, and the nervous lady was silent.—
The next day Deacon John Benedict ap
peared at the house of the offender, car
rying a calf-bound volume in bis baud.—
The woman gave one glance at the book i
and one at the deacon. That was enough:
it spoke volumes, and the man of the law
returned home and never mentioned the *
subject afterward. This is the whole of
this story, as it was reported to me in my
youth.
Deacon Hawley was very unlike either
of his two associates whom I have de- j
scribed. lie was younger, of a peculiar
ly mild and amiable temper. His counte
nance wore a tranquil and smooth expres
sion. His hair was fine and silky, and
fay, as if oiled, close to his- head. lie had I
a voice and an ear for music. He was a
cabinet-mdker by trade, a chorister by 1
choice, a deacon by the vote of the j
church, a Chriistian by the grace of God. j
jfn each of these things he found a place,
as if designed for it by nature and by j
Providence.
How easily did life flow on for him!—
How different was its peaceful current
from the battle waged by Granther Bald
win—whom I shall soon describe—from
the beginning, and ceasing only when
death put his cold finger on the heart and
silenced it forever. Oh, nature! thou
art a powerful divinity, sometimes mould
ing the heart in love and charity, and
sometimes as if in bitterness and spite.—
Let those who become the judges of man
here below, make due allowance for these
things, as no doubt the Judge hereafter
will consider them in adjusting each man’s
account.
In worldly affairs as well as spiritual,
Deacon Hawley’s path was straight and
even; he was successful in business, be- j
loved in society, honored in the church, j
Exceedingly frugal by habit and disposi- j
tion, he still loved to give in charity,
though he told not the world of it. When
he was old, his family being well provided j
for, he spent much of his time in casting i
about for opportunities to do good. Once !
lie learned that a widow, pho had been in !
good circumstances, was struggling with j
poverty. He was afraid to offer money
as charity, for fear of wounding her pride
—the more sensitive, perhaps, because of
her change of condition. He therefore
intimated that he owed a debt of fifty dol
jrrs to her late husband, and wished to
pay it to her,
“ And how was that ?” said the lady,
somewhat startled.
“ I will tell you,’’ said the deacon. —
“ About five-and-twenty years ago, soon
after you were married, I made some fur
niture for your husband—to the amount
of two hundred dollars. I have been
looking over the account, and find I have
rather over-charged him in the price of
some chairs; that is, I could have afforded
them, at somewhat less. I have added up
the interest, and here, madame, is the
money.”
The widow listened, and, as she sus
pected the truth, the tears came to her
eyes. * The beacon comprehended all in
an instant; K did not pause to reply, but
laid the money on the table and departed.
Dividend. — The Board of Directors of the
Bank of the State of Georgia have declared a
dividend of $4 per share, from the profits of
that institatioo for the last six months.
EDITORIAL SUMMARY.
These is to be published soon a sketch
of the life and labors of Rev. Z. Jeter
George, who recently died in Manchester,
Virginia.
We invite attention to the articles of
brethren Tnstin and Baker in other parts
of this issue. We could wish now, that
contributions bearing on public enterpri
ses and on persons, might be withheld.—
It does seem to us that these questions
have been exhausted. The two brethren
above named write in explanation.
The concluding part of brother Bor
ders’ article appears in another column.
We had thought of reviewing it, but with
out presuming to intimate that our broth
er’s reasoning is not conclusive, we may
just state, that all who write on that side
of the question, write very lengthy produc
tions, which looks a little as if they had a
difficult task on their hands.
W hex this number shall be preparing
for the press, we shall be at the Conven
tion, but our obliging printer has promised
to read the proof.
“ A subscriber” who “pays in advance,”
is always welcome at our office, especially
when the money is handed over; still, we

The cheapest way of advertising anoth
er is simply to tell it to someone who

It has been affirmed as a fact, that wo
men never stammer!
Thoughtless persons are not apt to con- J
sider, that a penny saved is worth as much i
as a penny earned.
What a silly passion anger is! It nev- j
er injures any one more than the subject
of it.
Think soberly, speak cautiously, and
act deliberately and candidly.
If every man would earn his breakfast
before he eats it, there would be no snor
ing after sun-rise, nor any necessity for
owing the baker.
“ Wiiat a dust we make !” said the fly
on the coach wheel. So say those who
would gain a standing in the world by the
names and titles of great men.
The very lowest style of man may be
found, without much seeking, in the char
acters of those who read a paper for years
without paying for it.
In the house where there are rude, dir
ty, ignorant, and, as a thing of course, sau
cy children, you would not be apt to find
a religious newspaper.
A pastor can always tell what families
in bis church hold or keep up family wor
ship, by the way in which the children be
have when he prays with them.
Some people are so regular in going to
church on Sunday morning, that they
have the privilege of standing in the lob
by while the minister makes the first pray
er, and then with rustling silks, and stamp
ing brogans, preventing the second hymn
from being heard by the congregation.
It has not been fully determined that
any rule of politeness requires a gentleman
to get up in his pew to make room for a
lady, if said lady is late in coming to meet

Inficelity more in the Heart than
IN THE HEAD.
I have a striking illustration of this fact
to mention. I was asked one day to take
breakfast at the house of an excellent j
gentleman, who has gone to his everlasi-’
ing rest, the late Thomas Meux, of Blooms-!
bury-square; and on going in, I heard
him saying, “ You deny the Bible, and
therefore there is no arguing with you.” —
I inst antly guessed there was a sceptic
present; and instead of giving an exposi
tion of a chapter, as I had done on one or
two occasions, I resolved to give a suc
cinct summary of the evidences of the
Christian faith. In the course of my re
marks, I made the following statement,
which I had received from good author
ity :
“There was an infidel of great notorie
ty, and of no ordinary powers of mind, —
He had a wife who was a Christian, and a
daughter who was believed to be so: his
wife died, and went to her rest, and after
some time consumption laid the daughter
also on her dying-bed. Three or four
days before her death, she called her fath
er to her bed side, and put the question
to him,
‘Father, am I to die in the creed you
teach, dr in the faith in which my mother
died ?’
The struggle in the father’s mind was
intense, and his frame was convulsed for a
moment. At last, in the agony of his feel
ings, he gave utterance to the convictions
of his heart,
‘Die, my child, in your mother’s faith.’ ”
j I little Buspected when! rose from the ta-
I hie, and was introduced to the party, that
very father was at the moment in the room.
There were tears in his eyes, but no con
viction carried to his heart; and though
I reasoned with him for two hours, no im
pression was made apparently upon his
hardened heart, or his seared or deadened
conscience. But carry this fact with you,
that infidelity may do for Sunday newspa
pers and Socialist halls, but it will not
bear the terrible test of the departing hour.
—Dr. Coming.
. The Pleasures of Heaven. —Jeremy Tay
| lor, speaking of the widow of ablacksmith,
who was constantly laboring to procure
the necessaries of life, thus quaintly por
trays her character.
“Thus she lived, poor, patient, and re
signed. Her heart was a passion-flower,
bearing within it the crown of thorns and
| the cross of Christ. Her ideas of heaven
were few and simple. She rejected the
j doctrine that it was a place of constant ac
! tivity, and not of repose, and believed that
! when she at length reached it, she would
| work no more ; but sit in a clean white
apron and sing psalms.”
EF” Four lines more beautiful than these
are rarely written. The figure which it in
volves is exquisite:
“ A Solemn murmur in the soul
Tells of the world to be,
As travelers hear the billows roll
Before they reach the sea.”
—Buffalo Express.

whale oil and bone, and is valued at $475,000 ; I
freight, $20,000. Total $455,000.
Extensive Water Privileges.—The Chatta
nooga Advertiser of the 15th inst., says: “We learn
! by an endorsement on the Little Rock, Ark., letter
package, received here yesterday morning, that the
town of Napoleon is fifteen feet under water.
Casualty.—Among the numerous casualties re
j cently detailed, the following is very melancholy :

What a Railroad will do. —The Virginia and
! Tennessee Railroad is 204 miles in length, and cost 1
! about $7,000,000. In 1850, the taxable value of the
1 land in the counties through which it passes, as taken
rom the census, was $28,942,047 —and in 1856 the
State assessment makes it $53,917,229 ! or an in
crease in six years of $20,305,558. This sudden in- j
crease is alone the result of an internal improvement 1
which has cost only $7,000,000.
From Vcnrsnela. —Late advices from Caracas,
report that the overthrow of Monagas is complete.—
His banishment or execution are clamored for. It is
reported that the American Minister had advised
Monagas to declare the city in a state of siege and j
himself dictator.
The Nicholson Pa vement.-They have a wood
en pavement in Chicago, which is thus described :
It consists of a row of woodtmblocks standing end- |
wise upon a broad flooring. The rows are placed ‘
one inch apart, and the spaces between them are filled
with a preparation of coal tar and gravel. The
flooring underneath is well covered with coal tar, on
both sides. The tar excludes moisture and prevents
decay, and the whole structure is impenetrable to
frosts.
Tennessee.—The people of Tennessee will be
called upon to vote on the first Thursday in Septem
her next upon the question of calling a convention j
“to revise, alter, or amend the constitution of the j
State of Tennessee,”
The Historical Society of Tennessee will celebrate j
the Ist of May proximo, the anniversary of tho es- j
tablishment. of a provisional government (1780) by i
the first settlers in Middle Tennessee, at “ Robertson
Station,” the present site of Nashville.
Marriage of Mias Toombs.—The local editor ‘
of the ‘Washington States, thus notices the marriage
of the daughter of Hon. Robt. Toombs, of this State, \
which occurred in the Federal metropolis last Thurs- ,
day evening :
Last evening there was a brilliant display of exo- !
ties, in wreatns and boquets, (fashioned by the New !
York boquet man,) at the residence of Senator i
Toombs in F. street, where his accomplished daugh- ;
ter was given in marriage to Mr. Dußose, of Mem- i
phis, Tenn., and the bride cake was enjoyed by a se
lect party of the eliie.
Wealth of the United Htates.—The aggregate j
wealth of the United States amounts to $12,000,000,- !
000, and the population 24,000 000 souls. The wealth j
divided by the population, gives #SQO to each per- I
son, young and old; and counting five persons to !
each family, it would give the handsome little for |
tune of $2,500 to every family of the Republic, not
excluding the slaves.
A Nation at Prayer.—A gentleman from Ohio
lately stated that, by adding his personal observations
to those of a friend, he could say that from Omaha
City, Nebraska, to Washington, there was a line of
prayer meetings along the whole length of the road ;
so that wherever a Christian traveller stopped to
spend the evening, he could find a crowded prayer
meeting along the entire breadth of our vast repub
lic. There is a great revival throughout Canada, !
and at Quebec the most intense religious interest is
manifested.
The Rabit Trade in Relgiuin.—lt is almost
incredible to what a degree of importance this branch
of trade has attained in Flanders within the last six or
seven years. There are fifty thousand skinned car
casses of these apimals exported weekly to England
—more than two and a half millions annually—where
they find a ready market as articles of food, while it
is difficult to sell them in Flanders at twenty-five
! cents apiece. The preparation and coloring of the
| skins gives empoyment.in Ghent alone, to more than
two thousand workmen, and, since the business
I sprung up a few years ago, the export of these skin

Congress to ‘Thursday.—On Tuesday, in the
! Senate, Mr. Houston introduced and advocated, in a
| long speech, his resolution to assume a protectorate
i over Mexico, and it was referred to a select commit
| tee of seven. The deficiency bill was discussed, and
] the vote postponing the Pacific Rail Road bill to next
December was re-considered.
Iu tho House the pill known as the Government
Police bill was laid ou the table, and the appropria
tion for West Point was discussed.
The Hon. Thomas B. Florence, of Pennsylvanias
gave notice of his intention to introduce a bill to,
establish five mail routes to Europe, on the same
basis as inland contracts—the steamers to start from
Ntw York, Philadelphia, New Orleans and Norfolk.
On the same day it was understood that the Kan
sas Conference committee agreed on a substitute to
the Senate bill, brought forward ip committee by
Mr. English, a democrat of Indiana. It proposes to
submit the Lecompton Constitution with a modified
land ordinance to a vote of the people of Kansas, to
be taken under the direction of the Governor, Secre
tary, Attorney General and the two Speakers, and if
accepted the State to come in under it. If negatived
Kansas is not to be admitted until an official censu
shall show 93,340 inhabitants—the number entitled
to a representative in Congress.
On Wednesday, in the Senate, four resolutions
were reported, including one relative to the outrage
by Paraguay upon American vessels, and proposing
that power be given to the President for obtaining
redress. The Deficiency bill was discussed.
In the house a select committee reported a hill es
| tablishing a Printing Bureau. The West Point ap
propriation bill was passed,
On Thursday. Mr. Seward, of New York, present
ed the reply of the American Telegraph Company to
the recent memorial of Mr. A Kendall. The reply
refutes the allegations against the American Compa
ny, and denies that any monopoly exists. The mat
ter was referred to the Judiciary Committee.
The memorial of the American Telegraph Compa
no represents that such a law as petitioned for by
Amos Kendall Will Conflict with past State legisla
tion, delay business, render rdfeponsibility uncer
tain, and unjustly deprive the remonstrants of rights
secured by contract ; and of legitimate fruits of the
vas t outlay by the American Company in the haz
ardous Atlantic enterprise—'that their contract of
connection with the Newfoundland company is
such as has been universal among telegraph lines
in the United States. And that while the Atlantic
compamy has been highly favored in being permitted
the use of ships of the Navy to lay the Atlantic cable,
it is proper that it should be known that no money
aid h as as yet been received from any government.
The relations between this Country and Paragua
were discussed.
A bill was introduced to authorize the construc
tion of a telegraph line from Memphis to San Fran
cisco.
The consideration of the deficiency bill was re
snuaijd, but no action was taken!
In the House, a bill was passed donating fiva.mil
liou acres of the public lands for the benefit of agri
cultural and mechanical colleges—the donation to
be allotted pro rata to the several States.
Mr. English, from the Kansas compromise com
mittee, announced that the committee would be
ready to report to-morrow.
The old-soldiers’ bill was discussed,
i Congress. —In the Senate, on the 23d, a message
was received from the President, in answer to an en
quiry in relation to the slave and Coolie trade, and
French apprenticeship system. The message was
referred.
The deficiency bill was discussed.
The report of the Kansas Conference Committee
was presented and is still under debate.
In the House, by a vote of 108 to 105, the action on
the report of the Kansas Conference Committee was
postponed until the second Monday in May. A mo
tion to reconsider this vote is pending, and a spirited
contest is anticipated to morrow.
Oil Saturday, the Senate passed the Deficiency
Bill as reported by the Committee with the amend
mend that future U. S. contracts be lubmitted to
Congress.
In the House, the Kansas motion of Friday, to re
consider the vote on postponing the matter, was ta
bled by four majority. A motion to postpone it till
13th May was still before the House when they ad
journed.
A Steamboat Race and Disaster.— While
the steamers Ocean Spray and Hannibal City, were
racing near St. Louis, on Friday last, the latter took
fire and was burnt to the water’s edge. Nine lives
were lost, including two ladies and two children un
I known The Star of the West caught fire from the
flames of the Ocean Spray, and was a.so destroyed
Domestic Cotton markets. —Middling in New
York last Saturday was quoted at 12|, with a dull

year in receipts at all the Southern ports to latest

Dr. Trog of Philadelphia.— The Rev. Dud- j
ley A. Tyng, whose arm was amputated last week in ■
consequence of injuries received, died on 19th. The j
deceased was a son of the Rev. H. S.Tyng, who pre- i
. ceded him in the rectorship of the Church of the j
Epiphany, at Fifteenth and Chestnut-sts. For the j
last two years the Rev. Dudley A. Tyng has been j
rector of the Church of the Covenant. He took an i
active part intbe recent union Meetings Philadelphia, I
and his discourses drow large assemblages. He was
about thirty-two years old, and leaves a wife and six j
children.
Legalized Fillibusters. —The New York Com
pany formed for promoting colonization and com- ‘
merge in Central America, have lately obtained from
the New York Assembly a very liberal charter. —
The Capital of the company is $300,C00. They have j
held a preliminary meeting, and are soon to he or- ‘
ganized. ‘ They have already established a small oo- j
lony on the bay of Fonseca, a very commanding ai- ;
tuation for trade. It ia by such agencies that Cen 1
tral America is to be regenerated and Americanized, i
and we may add “ Abolitlonized.”
Accident on the Savannah River.— The Au- i
gusta Constitutionalist of the 25th says: “A serious 1
accident to life and property occurred about a week
ago on the river some miles above Augusta. One of
the pole boats owned by Mr. McCurry, who resides,
we believe, in Elbert county, and which had been
employed in conveying cotton and other produce to
this market, and also for the purpose of transporting
goods and merchandise to persons residing on the
river, was capsized by coming in collision with a
rock, in a very swift running portion of the stream.
A man by the name of Mastiss, and two negro men
were drowned. Goods to the value of about two
thousand dollars were lost.
It is stated that the persons whe drowned :
were active and expert swimmers, and the only per- !
son on the boat whose life was saved was a man to
tally unable to swim, but he was fortunate in obtain
ing a plank or some offier buoyant article and reach
ed the shore."’
To be Hung. —Radford Crockett, elsewhere no
ted as confessing to a participation in the murder of
Samuel Landrum, near Atlanta, on the Bth instant,
was on Saturday last sentenced to he hung on the
18th June next. The Intelligencer says:
About nine o'clock, Judge Bull entered the room,
and Court having been duly opened, the prisoner
was brought in and took his seat, with his father
by his side, immediately in front of the Bench. The
poor young man—for he does not seem more than 21-
appeared terribly affected by his miserable situation,
He wept most of the time during the delivery of the
sentence, and his frame seemed overcome with the
internal agony that was writhing it.

DIED.
OBITUARY.
Died on the morning of the 2d inst., of pulmo
nary consumption, Mrs. SOPHIA B. TEAGUE,
consort of Rev. E. B. Teague, pastor of the Bap
tist Church, LaGjange, Ga., and daughter of the
late James G. Blount, of Tuscaloosa countv, Ala.,
aged 34 years.
Mrs. Teague wa9 born in Tuscaloosa county,
Ala., Dec. 21, 1823—baptized by Rev. John A.
Hodges into the fellowship of Grant’s Creek Bap
tist Church in the fall o f 1842—married by Rev.
Dr. Manly to Rev. E. B. Teague on the 15th June, i
1843.
A. a very early peFlod in life she was deprived
by death of the tender care ®f a mother. This
loss was to a great extent repaired by the kindand
generous attention of her relatives—Mr. and Mrs. ;
John S. Bealle, in whose family she was brought
up as one of their own children. The high appre
ciation in which this pious and gifted lady was
held, was show* by the large number who attend
ed her remains to their last resting place. She ex
hibited in her life all the attributes of a consistent,
humble, self-sacrificing Christian. When a young
lady, surrounded by a large circle of admiring i
friends, attracted by her extraordinary beauty, the i
winning gentleness of her manners, and a cultiva
ted and admirably balanced mind, she was appoin
ted a teacher in Sabbath school. A sens? of her i
unworthiness for so responsible a position, induced j
serious reflection upon the subject of her relations j
to the Creator, and ended in her happy conversion
to God. That this was a genuine work of grace,
is abundantly proved by the whole tenor of after
life. Forgetful of self, she was devoted to the ser
vice of her Master, and the good of those around j
her. Her faith was peculiarly simple and child- j
like. No one ever appreciated more highly the j
blessings, and submitted more cheerfully to the
chastenmgs of her Heavenly Master. Trusting in
the merits of a Crucified Redeemer, death could
bring no terror to this frail, gentle, hopeful being.
She could even trust her babes to Him, who never
deserts those who put their trust in Him. But she
is gp,ne. The deep, dark, damp vault of the grave
contains all that could die of our friend. A vacu- i
um is made in hearts which all the treasures, hon
ors and pleasures of earth can never fill. Her be
reaved husband and her helpless children may find
comfort only from one who will be a “husband to
the widow, and a father to the fatherless.” We
have no doubt that her happy spirit now forms one
of that bright throng which surrounds the throne ;
of God, singing praises to the Redeemer.

Departed this life in Atlanta, on the 18 th qlt., at i
four o’clock, P. M., LEONIDAS CLINTON, only
child of A. N. and bis deceased wife, Sarah J. Ab
bott, aged 2 years, 9 months and 16 days. His
mother was called from time, on the 11th Februa
ry last. „
The bereaved husband and father says. “lam:
now left alone. My wife and child are gone to
eternity. The strongest link that bound me to
earth is broken, but it is renewed in Heaven. I 1
mourn for them on earth, but rejoice that they are j
in glory, and hope, through persevering Christian
grace, tq unite with them in ascribing Blessing and
glory, and wisdom and thanksgiving, and honor
and power, and might, unto our God for ever and
ever.” M,

Atlanta, April 19, 1858.
Died, in Monroe, Walton county, Ga., on the
23d of Feb. 1858, after a painful illness of nine
days’ continuance caused by congestion of the
brain, Mrs. FRANCES DICKINSON, consort of
John Dickinson, Esq. She was born Clark co.,
Dec. 18, 1800; was married the 20th July, 1818;
and was baptized a member of the church at Sar
dis, M. H., lay Elder James W. Walker, Oct. 18,
1845. Sister Dickinson endured afflJbtiou with
Christian patience and resignation. Aware that
the time of her departure was at hand, she said to
her husband, “I shall die”—and with characteris
tic diffidence, added, “I have a, little hope,” then
as though feeling more assuranoe, she said, “I am
perfectly resigned to the will of God—we have a
good God.” There was a remarkable peacefulness
and composure in her last moments, resembling
that of an infant falling asleep iu a mother’s arms.
We gazed on those features witl\ qyea fast stream
-v in 8>
When up. every hope of her life we had given,
And watched the pure flashes of joy brightly
beaming.
From eyes that seemed fixed on the glories o{
Heaven.
An acquaintance of fifty years with sister Dick
inson, enables the writer to speak advisedly of her
character. She naturally possessed a mild and
amiable disposition, and the reign of God’s grace
in her heart made her more amiable in all the rela
tions of life. Asa wife, she was faithful and true;
as a mother, kind and affectionate ; as a mistress,
indulgent: as a friend, steadfast and self-sacrific
ing ; as a Christian, constant, always in her place
at church meetings, unless prevented by circum
stances she could not control. The life of a Chris
tian as seen in her conduct and conversation at
home.
She Las left to mourn their loss, numerous
friends and relations, her Christian brethren and
sisters, fond and affectionate children, and a kind
and devoted husband well stricken in years, who
now, in lonely hours, mourns the loss of a beloved
wife. May they all meet again, where there is no
more death, neither sorrow nor crying. The wri
ter of the above has been personally acquainted
with her fifty years. ORION STROUD.
Bro. Walker—lt becomes my painful duty to in
form you and your numerous readers, of the death
of our eminent and Christian father, Rev. JAMES
F. REEVES, who departed this life on Tuesday,
6th inst. The writer is not prepared to give a
biographical sketch of his life in his earlier years,
having never made any inquiries as to his birth,
. training, education, &c., but am confident that his 1
ministerial labors, since our acquaintance, have
been spread over a large scope of country, gener
ally in remote and destitute regions where the
light of the Gospel was seldom seen, and its radi
ant beams almost shut out. And he has been the
means, through Christ, of awakening many sinners
to the knowledge of the truth. Ilis whole theme
of life and conversation was confined almost ex
: clusively to heaven and divine things, and when
j hour of his departure came he might have ex
| claimed: “I have fought a good fight, I have kept
j the faith,” &c. Bro. Reeves was in his 74th year,
j and died of dropsy in the chest. He has left a wife
I and several in his family to mourn his loss. But
| mourn not, friends, for the departed saint. In the
| mansions of bliss high up in Heaven in the pres
ence of Him whom he loved and served, he has
taken his seat to live, while the countless ages of
eternity roll in succession for ever and ever.
A FRIEND.
Departed this life at his father’s (Mr. J. D. Wil
lis) of typhoid fever, WILSON LUMPKIN WIL
LIS, in the 25th year of his age.
The subject of this notice had cbnnected him
self with the Sardis Baptist Church in this county
in August, 1846, and thus spent one half of his
time in the service of his Master. He always took
unusual delight in the services of God’s house ;
and was always “glad when they said, let us go
into the house of the Lord.” ‘ Indeed, though
young, all of his brethren, even the oldest, looked
to him as one altogether worthy of their greatest
confidence, and whose conduct merited the closest
imitation.
We cheerfully give him up, because ho left be
hind him for the consolation of his sorrowing
friends and weeping parents, brothers and sistqrs
the evidence of his far happier state.

Asa Family Physic.
From Dr. E. W. Cartwright , of .Yew Orleans.
“Tour Pills are the prince of purges Their excellent quaf
ities surpass any cathartic we possess. They arc mild, but verv
certain and effectual in their action on tho bowels, which makes
them invaluable to us in the daily treatment of dinea.se.”
Fon Jaundice and ai,t. Liver Complaints.
From Dr. Theodore Bell, of Yew York tiff/.
“ Not only are your Pills admirably adapted to their purpose
as an aperient, but I find their beneficial effects upon tin*
Liver very marked indeed. They have in mv praetb e proven ’
more effectual for tho cure of bilio.if mmphti.d, than any on -
remedy I can mention, I sincerely rcjpi.v that we have ai
length a purgative which is worthy the confidence of the pro
fession and the people.”
Dyspepsia
From Dr. Henry J. Knox , of St. f/fuf.
“The Pills you were kind enough to send me have been at!
used in my practice, and ha\ o satisfied me Halt they ore truly
an extraordinary medicine. Bo peculiarly are (hey adapted t
tho diseases of the human system, that they seem to work upon
them alone. I have cured some cas.-r of do./Kp-da and ind—
gestion with them, which had resisted the other remedies wp
commonly use. Indeed I have expeiiinciitidh found them to
be effectual in almost ail the compiaia’- for v.-hlcli you recom

“ Your Pills nave had a Jong trial in my practice, rmd i hold

remedy, when given in small cU>s-;s. ter bilious dysentery ;iw
diarrheea. Their coating mahtfs them very aceept-übto
and convenient for the use of women wr.i children.”
Internal Obstruction —Vi ohms Suppression.
From Mrs. E. Stuart , who practise or ‘a Phifsirian and Midwife, at.
Boston.
“I find one or two large doses ol vour Pills, taken at th*
proper time, are excellent promotives of the natural secretiou
when wholly or partially suppressed, and also very effectual ‘ -

Constipation Costiveness.
From Dr. J. F. Vaughn. Montreal. Canada.
“ Too much cannot be said of your Pills for the cure of evs
tivenes3. If others of our fraternity have found them as
efficacious as I have, they should join ro,- in proclaiming it fu
tile benefit of the multitudes who suffer from that complaint,
which, although bad enough in itself, is (Ik- progenitor of others
that are worse. 1 believe cnstiveKexs to originate in tho liver,

From Dr. Ezekiel Hall. Philadelphia.
“Yon were right,Doctor, in saying that your Pills purify the
blood. They do that. I have used them of late years in my
practice, and agree with your statements of their efficacy. Tliey
stimulate the excretovies, and carry off the impurities that
stagnate in the blood, engendering disease. They stimulate
the organs of digestion, and infuse vitality and vigor into tin
system.
“ Such remedied as you prepare are a national benefit, and vow
deservo great credit for them.”
For Headache Sick Headache —Foul Stomach

i From Dr. Eduard Boyd, Baltimore.
“Dear Da. Ater: I cannot answer you vjiiot complaints f

It supplies the surest remedy theivcrtd tins ever known for tb -
