Monument to Banyan.
We rejoice to see that our English Baptist
brethren are raising a large subscription to
erect a monument in honor of the poet dream
er of Elstow. .
Greenville ’Seminary.
Twenty-seven students are now /identified
with the school. One of these, with his young
wife aud his little child, all domieilled in a
small, plain cottage, living without a servant,
and on plain fare, was bending all his energies
to those investigations, which would prepare
him to become a workman needing not to be
ashamed. Several of the students are medita
ting the preaching of the gospel to the heath
ern, as the greatest business"of their lives.
Now is the lime.
Every honest man who takes a newspaper
intends to pay for it, and as fifty cents saved
is worth as much as fifty cents earned, we hope
subscribers to the Index, who have not yet
paid for 1800, will avail themselves of the de
duction made for advance payments, The
price of the paper is $2 00; but if not paid
within the year, $2 50 is charged. As an in
ducement, we will state that many of cur first
writers have promised to emieh the Index
with their productions during year.
The Gospel hi Germany , *
Says Oncken, about 700 precious souls have
been added to our Churches as a clear increase
m 1850. But whilst we rejoice with angels
over these reclaimed prodigals, we weep over
the millions around us who hasten on to an aw
ful eternity for which they are unprepared.—
We have about 100 missionaries and colpor
teurs employed in the mission, and a large
number of brethren render much service in
preaching at our stations without any remun
eration.
Stealing.
Dr. Higgins, of Columbus, lately preached
a powerful sermon on “Stealing.” A writer
in the ‘’Corner Stone,” commenting on the
matter, mentions two instances of stealing
which we believe to he, alas, too common.
“There were two other cases I will mention.
One was a very large slave-holder, he owns
largely over a hundred slaves, he returned
them at less then four hundred and twenty
live dollars each, swore that was all they were
worth. They would on the block, on that day,
have brought double that money in cash ; and
he knew it, for there is no better judge of the
value of property in the State. If lie had re
turned them at their true value, he would have
pai 1 taxes upon fifty thousand dollars more
than he did. lie swore to a lie to enable him
to steal the taxes upon that much property.
There was another case —a man owns a large
body of valuable land. Jle gave it in at less
than eight dollars an acre, swore that it was
not worth any more. It would have brought
at public sale, for cash, twice that amount and
he knew it. lie swore to a lie to steal the taxes
on that amount of property.”
Cassell's Illustrated Family Bible.
Mr. Casseli is well known, both in England
and in this country, as a Christian scholar and
philanthropist, and a judicious and successful
publisher. His edition of the Bible, says the
iV. Y. Observer , “has attained an enormous
circulation in England,” and a few months
since he came to this country to introduce his
great work to the American public. The first,
three numbers have been carefully examined
by us, aud we think that “this is probably the
most desirable illustrated Bible ever issued for
general use in the English language.” The
engravings are very large, often covering a
whole page, and they are designed aud execu
ted with extraordinary taste and skill. They
illustrate the text, and are not mere fancy
sketches. The notes are quite full, and strict
ly evangelical in their interpretation of the
Bible, as we judge from a limited reading,
and as competent critics have decided. In the
centre of the page is a column of references,
headed with the date, or year B. C., —a very
important help in the reading of the Old Tes
tament. The type and paper are all that, could
be desired in such a work. It is to be com
pleted in forty-eight parts of thirty-two pages
each, large quarto, and the whole will cost
about seven dollars. Published by Cassell,
Petter & Galpin, Nassau Street, New York.
Cassell's Popular Natural History.
This superb work is from the same publish
ers as the Illustrated Bible, and the cuts are
in the same style, as to size and elegance. It
might be called an Illustrated Cyclopaedia of
Natural History, for, beginning with A, it goes
in alphabetic order, through the whole animal
creation. The engravings, which are intro
duced with a profusion, we are sure, never be
fore equalled, are accompanied with full and
graphic descriptions, with anecdotes, &c.,
forming a rich fund of amusing and useful
reading. The work is furnished in numbers
or parts, fifteen cents each, and twelve parts
will make a volume, the whole to be completed
in four volumes of nearly eight hundred pages
each. No similar work has ever been offered
to the public, at least nothing in the grand
and costly scale here presented. The parts
are issued simi-monthly, three having already
appeared. The pay for each is too small to
be felt, and when completed it will be of im
mense value to individuals, families and pub
lic libraries. Published by Cassell &- Co-,
Nassau Street, New York.
May Day Festivities.
A correspondent who, fifteen years ago, had
charge of the Newnan Female Seminary, sends
us the following thoughts on the above sub
ject.
“I never have approved of them within my
own school, or in others and from a couscicn
cious conviction of duty, I have labored to
suppress all attendance on them. They are
anti-literary, anti-republic and anti-religious.
As for May-Day parties at schools, I have
never known what they were good for, nor
what gave rise to them. They are not of Ame
rican birth. I have supposed they must have
originated in the ignorance and superstition
of the “Old World,” where Kings reigned and
where Queens are crowned. What profitable
improvement, either morally or mentally, re
ligiously or politically, is in them, I have nev
er been able to discover. Politically, it may
indicate something not very congenial with the
spirit of true Americanism —the genius of out
glorious Republic. Kings nor Queens have
ever been crowned on American soil. Our
prayer is, that they never may be.
To crown a‘‘May-Day Queen,” as a cere
mony to usher in the Spring, the “the Season
of Flowers,” is, in my opinion, not a very
great remorse from the superstitious ceremo
nies of the Aborigines of America, who hold
their “Green Corn Dance,” at the ushering in
of anew crop.’’
Annals of the Alabama Baptist Ministry.
Rev. Sam’l Henderson proposes ro prepare
a volume of sketches, samewhat similar to the
work of Rev. J. 15- ‘A a. Baptist
Ministers;” and he urges all his brethren
who may possess appropriate materials, to for
ward them to him at Tuskegee, Ala.
We rejoice at this determination. Baptists
should not let the names and deed of their
great and good rnen be blotted from the re
cords of time. For just such neglect, does a
comparative insignificance rest upon the Bap
tist name, so much so, that Sprague, whose
“annals” deserve general thanks, was aston
ished at the wealth of personal distinction and
merit in our Denominational genealogy. Is
it not time for a revised edition of J. 11. Camp
bell’s “Georgia Baptists ?”

Dr. Baker.
We shall be pleased to hear that he receives
all the needed support to allow his engaging in
evangelical labors; “may the word of the
Lord, have free course (through him) and be
glorified.”
Extra Numbers.
Many extra numbers of the last issue of the
Index were struck off, under the supposition,
that, as the Convention proceedings were con
tained in the paper, an unusual demand would
be iqade for that number. Any one therefore,
can obtain a copy by applying to the Index
Office.
Minutes.
We earnestly hope, that all who have the min
utes mentioned under the head “minutes wanted,”
wili forward them to the address designated, or to
“The index,” Macon, Ga. t and we will transmit
them.
We consider it simply our duty to aid in procuring
correct and complete Baptist statistics ; and if our
readers were impressed with the importance of the
matter, and the great convenience afforded to
compilers of statistical tables by a little trouble of
this sort, they would gladly comply.

[communicated.]
Mr. Editor: —A” nv me to ask the correc
tion of your report of my remarks before the
Baptist Convention.
1. Your reporter makes me say of bro. Ilills
man’s letter. —
■‘That communication proposed to set up a board
for the examination of Baptist Works, before they
should he suffered to be published by the Society,
and read by Baptists at large”—
when my remarks were, that the Board pro
posed an inquisitorial examination of Books be
fore they should be sent out by the Colporteur,
for sale, and to be read by uninitiated Baptists.
2. Your reporter makes me say—
“ Besides, bro. Moderator, the Society had its ori
gin in impure and unholy, he would not say motives,
for it is wrong to speak of them, but he would say im
pure and unholy purposes. He could not lay his
hand conveniently on the paper to substantiate the
position, but it was susceptible of proof that the Bi
ble Board at Nashville had its origin in opposition
to the Revision movement. Ilewould ask the Con
vention if such was not the fact—if his proposition
was not sustained ? VVe had already had a practi
cal demonstration of the working of the system,
when bro. Dayton had presented a certain work of
his (Theodosia) to the Board at Charleston, with its
Episcopal head, and that Board refused to give the
book its sanction ; but he thanked God in spite of
that opposition, the book found its way into the
world” —
Instead of which I remarked, in substance,
that, the Bible Board and its location in Nash
ville had an impure and unholy purpose pre
ponderating in its establishment; and this fact
1 derived from an editorial statement of one of
the Committee of the S. 1. Convention, that,
in Committee the preponderating consideration
in its establishment and location at Nashville,
was to counteract the operation of Jhe Bible
Revision Association, Ac.
And again, that we had already had to some
extent a practical illustration of bro. Hillsman’s
system, when bro. Dayton produced to the
Episcopal head oftheS. B. P. Society, his book
(Theodosia) who did not even examine the man
uscript.
3. Again your reporter makes me say that: —
“He thought the sentiments expressed in the
letter of Bro. Hillamau. together with the ac
tion which the Board had already had on Bro. Day
ton's work had a tendency towards Catholicism, aud
might, if persisted, lead to those outrages which
grew out of the inquisition.”
Mv remarks were that the sentiment in bro.
Hillsman’s letter, with the Popish persecution
oy the Bo.rd of bro. Dayton, while Secretary,
had a tendency, &c.
I desire these errors in my remarks correct
ed because they relate to facts, and which should
be correctly stated.
I Jo not complain of the Reporter; the best
of the profession have found it difficult to re
port me correctly. If I had known any report
was to be made, I would have revised it before
it went to the press, so far as the statement of
facts went Yours truly,

TO PRESERVE AND DRESS THE
HAIR.
One of the best dressings for the hair ever in
vented is Burnett’s Coeoaine. It is well known
that there is a principle in Cocoa-Nut Oil, owing
to which the hair of the natives of the South Seas,
who use it, remains glossy and never falls off—
Burnett has greatly improved this oil by chemical
purification, and it now not only thoroughly cleans
the hair, forming a lather when rubbed n, but
keeps it glossy, slightly damp, and in form as
brushed for a long time. Ladies dressing their
hair elaborately, for the evening, will find that it
will keep it in shape for hours. Its quaikies as
preventing the hair from falling are truly n mark
able.— [Philadelphia Bulletin.

life. Tiiis simple fact, as might be expected, ren
ders the Americans immensely popular here, while
we English are overlooked. Doubtless our own
scholars made the discoveries which he employs,
and thus it is in everything ; we do the labor, then

Thi- able work, on its first appearance, received

unfolding the true relation of the Lord Jesus
Christ to our world, as the Alpha and Omega, the

“The consummate learning, judgment and gen

“In its special application of secular history to
the illustration of the sacred record, it possesses

From the Re igious Herald.
“Dr. Dagg, in his preface, says that Wayland’s
Elements of Moral Science ‘has been justly esteem
ed the best text-book extant on the subject. We
think, however, that his own is a better one, in the
department both of theoretical and of practical
ethics. Everywhere we feel ourselves in the pres

in the first degree sober and judicious, of a heart
in which ‘the word of Christ dwells richly iu all
wisdom.’”
From the True Union.
“This is an admirable volume of Christian ethics
having for its standard of morals the Bible. To
all students in College, whether contemplating the
work of the ministry or not, this work on Moral

The second title indicates the aim and spirit of

mind an impression not easily effaced. It will per
fect the old as well as the young, and unpretend

Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry.
This remedy has long been cherished in the com
munity for its remarkable efficacy in relieving,
healing and curing the most obstinate, painful and
longstanding cases of Cough, Cold, Influenza, SoiA
Throat, Bronchitis, Whooping Cough, Croup, Asth
ma, Inflammation of the Lungs ; w hile even Con
sumption itself has yielded to its magic influence
when all other means have failed. Its whole his
tory proves that the past has produced no remedy
of equal value, as a cure for the numerous and dan
gerous pulmonary affections which prevail all over
the land.
Read the following Letter from a high
ly respectable gentleman:
Limestone, Montour co., Pa., Oct. 22,1855.
This is to certify that I was pronounced by sev
eral physicians as consumptive, and had all he
symptoms of the disease in its worst form, such as
coughing, severe pains in the chest, shortness of
breath, night-sweats, and extreme weakness and
lassitude in my whole system. My family nearly
all having died of the disease, I had given up all
hope of recovery, as nothing gave me relief; but
through the persuasion of a friend I was induced
to try Dr. Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry. The
first bottle relieved me considerably, and the third
bottle cured me entirely. I now feel as well as ev
er I did in my life, and am able to follow my oc
cupation as farmer as fuliy as any one.
I also had a sister in a more advanced state of
the disease, h ving been confined to her bed for
over a year and pronounced beyond hope by our
best physicians. i>he also was entirely cured by the
Wild Cherry, but it required six or eight bottles,
and she stiil takes it occasionally as a preventive,
being naturally weak chested.
I would sincerely urge all who ar- similarly af
flicted to try Dr. Wistar’s Balsora of Wild Cherry,
as I am satisfied that but for your own valuable
remedy my sister and myself would not now be
living. I will cheerfully answer any one who may
address me on the subject and state our cases more
fully. JACOB MILLER.

mar 28 —ly;
Fever and Ague,
from which mankind suffer over a large part of
the globe, is the consequence of a diseased action
in the system, induced by the poisonous miasm of
vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved by
the action of solar heat on wet soil, and rises with
the watery vapor from it. While the sun is below
the horizon this vapor lingers near the earth’s sur
face, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood. There it acts as an irritating
poison on the internal viscera and excreting organs
of the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to
secrete not only this virus, but also the bile from
-the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constitu
tional disorder. The spleen, thiTkidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
disordered also. Finally, the instinct of our or
ganism, as if in an attempt to expel the noxious
infusion, concentrates the whole blood of the body
iu the internal excretoriee to force them to cast it
out. The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to
the central organs with congestive violence. This
is the Chill. But in this effort it fails. Then the
Fever follows, in which the blood loaves the cen
tral organs and rushes to the surface, as if in
another effort to expel the irritating poison through
that other great excretory the skin. In this
also it fails, and the system abandons the attempt
exhausted, and waits for the recovery of strength
to repeat the hopeless effort another day. These
are the fits or paroxysms of Fever and Ague.
Such constitutional disorder will of course under
mine the health if it is not removed.
We have labored to find, and have found, an
antidote,
Ayer’s Ague Cure,
which neutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
body. As it should, so it does cure this afflicting
disorder with perfeet certainty. And it does more,
or rather does what is of more service to those sub
ject to this infection. If taken in season it expels
it from the 6ystem as it is absorbed, and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it not only cures, but protects from,
the great variety of affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, such as Remittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita
tions, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Hysterics,
Colic, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the
Stomach and Bo vels, all of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume more or
less the intermittent type. This “ Ague Cuke ”
removes the cause of these derangements, and cures
the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the excre
tories to expel the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their office of their own accord. Hence arises what
we term accUmatation. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life is not long cnouglfl. Ar is
sacrificed in the attempt, while this “ Ague Club ”
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is a surer as well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic infection, than any oiher
which has bee; discovered; and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap as well as good.
