The Pulpit North and South.
The True Witness, an Old School
Presbyterian paper published in Missis
sippi, has the following very trite re
marks on the difference in preaching
North and Sonth:
“Every one who looks at things as
they are, must see that there is a ren]
difference in the pulpit North and
South, not merely in the manner, but
also in the matter of preaching. No
minister in the South could retain his
congregation if he were in the habit of
preaching about every sectional and po
litical question of the day. These things
and the Gospel are regarded as separate
and distinct subjects, and when the peo
ple of the South go to church, however
worldly they may be, they expect to
hear the Gospel. And the minister
who makes any other subject his con
stant theme, will soon find himself alone
in the House of God. lie is not per
mitted by public sentiment to take any
active part in the political questions and
agitations of the day. He has a higher,
a holier, and more important theme and
work ; one which demands all his time
and all his energies. But how different
at the North. The minister who, like
Beecher, plunges into the whirl of po
litical excitement out and in the pulpit
giving from the sacred desk only homeo
pathic doses of the Gospel, can draw
his thousands.
“Sectional fanaticism seems to have
become a very important element in
the frozen regions of the North, and the
people who claim to bo religious, calm
and sober, aro now making an exhibi
tion of themselves, that appears to the
reflecting, sober Southerner, ridiculously
foolish and wicked. There are doubt
less thousands of conservative men at
the North, who are still guided by rea
son and common sense, and there are
doubtless many faithful preachers of the
Gospel who have not desecrated their
pulpits with the sectional and brainless
issues of fanatics. Yet every one must
admit that there is a wide difference
North and South in the pulpit. We
have yet to hear of the first sermon be
ing preached any where in the South
on sectionalism, the Missouri Compro
mise, or the Nebraska bill. During
this whole agitation, with the exception
of a few politicians who want hobbies,
the South has been calm and conserva
tive. But who can tell the hundreds
of thousand of sermons that have been
preached on these subjects in the North,
the resolutions that have been passed,
and the appeals that have been made
to stir up strife, contention and bitter
ness of feeling 1 If there was the same
degree of excitement South, that there
seems to be North, this Union could
not last twelve months. And we hon
estly believe that one great cause of the
difference, may be traced to the pulpit.
It is time for conservative men every
where to demand in the pulpit, the Gos
pel of Christ, and nothing else. Let
them hear no man who glories in any
thing save the Cross.”
Florence Nightingale.
This angel-woman, whose noble nature
and self sacrificing humanities have shed
sudli lustre on her sex and country, has
returned from the scene of her labors, and
with the unobtrusive modesty which is
the beautiful accompaniment of genuine
virtue, is at her father’s country seat in
Hampshire, discharging all those duties
which belong to the daughter of an Eng
lish squire. At evening she and her on
ly sister, in every way worthy to be sc,
may be seen, in simplestraw hats, wending
their way through those pleasant lanes
which make Hampshire beautiful, car
rying to the cottage of some poor or sick
peasant both bodily and mental comfort.
As they pass, the laborers always lean
upon their spades to send a blessing after
the “ dear sweet ladies,” and if the
prayers of the poor can make smooth the
path to Heaven, their passage there will
be swift indeed. Mr. Nightingale, who is
one of the leading Unitarians of England,
is universally respected for his noble
character as an English gentleman, of
which he is the highest and purest
type. The family have for years been on
terms of tlio closest intimacy with that of
Lord Palmerston, whose country seat is
within a few miles of the Nightingales,
and they have been for years in the habit
of encouraging jointly all manner of rural
sports. In the meantime, the fund to be
devoted to the sacred object.of supplying
nursing to the sick continues to increase
and £35,000 is already subscribed. At
Balaklava, too, a beautiful cross has been
built to her honor by the relatives of those
whose last hours her gentle ministering
hand soothed.— English paper.
OsTE OF THE EARLY CnRISTIANS.
Brother Greeley, in his life of Fremont,
says:
His hair parts in the middle, and he
wears a moustache and beard, after the
dictates of nature and the practice of
the early Christians.
He also “ate dog” (if wo may be-
in w&&i®si9 mi&i'
lieve Greeley,) after the manner of the
Soshonee Indians.
I urthermore ho voted, during his
immortal twenty-one days in the Senate,
first against the abolition of slavery in
the District of Columbia, and then
against the bill submitting the questioi
o: slavery abolition to the action of the
people of the District.
M e also learn, per Greeley, that Fre
mont climbed “a peak” 13,570 feet
high, and planted the American flag
there. The picture represents Mons. F.
on the top of an ice pinacle, that rises
much more loftily and abruptly from its
surroundings than the peak of Teneriffe !
Vive la humbug! Long live Greeley!
huzza for Jessie 1 Fremont and liberty !
“ I Don’t Dance.” —A plain unlet
tered man came from the back country
in the State of Alabama, to Tuscaloosa
and on the Sabbath went early to church.
He had been accustomed to attend
meetings in school houses and private
dwellings, where each one appropriated
to themselves the first seat which they
found unoccupied. Ho selected a con
venient slip, and awaited patiently the
assembling of the congregation. Pres
ently, the music of a full toned organ
bursted upon his astonished ear; he
had never heard one before. At the
same time the gentleman who owned
the slip, came up the aisle with his lady
leaning on his arm. As ho approached
the door of the slip, lie motioned for
the countryman to como out in order
to give the place to the lady. This
movement the countryman did not
comprehend,' and from the situation of
the gentleman and the lady, associated
as it was in his mind with the music, he
immediately concluded that a cotillion,
or French contra-dance was intended.
Rising partly from his seat ho said to
the gentleman, who was still beckoning
to him, “ Excuse me, sir—excuse me, if
you please—l don’t dance.”
A Dutchman’s Idea of Beauty.—
In Philadelphia, the other day, a Fre
mont man was “ electioneering ’’ with a
stardy but verdant Dutchman, and
among other reasons urged upon his
consideration that ho should vote for
Mr. Fremont, from the fact that Mrs.
F. was a woman of rare personal beauty,
while old Buck was a bachelor, ami
Fillmore a widower. Duchy looked
reflective at this remark. “ Den you say
Mrs. Fremont ish a butivool womans,
eh ?” “ Oh, yes,” was the reply, “ she
is as beautiful as a sylpl., with a delicate
organization, and a ” “ What der
tuyfel does you call a sylph ? You tell
me dat first.” The Fremont man was
slightly struck this lime, but after stam
mering a little lie said it was a slim, slen
der person. “Oh yaw,” replycd Duchy,
“ l understands, you mean a womans mit
a little middle ’bout so tick as a clioint
of stove pipe ; bnt you doesn’t eoine
that gamo no how."—“Why, what do
you mean ?” “ Mean, why, I mean/lata
handsome woman ish one mit a pig
middle, and a back as broad as a barrel
o’ cider, and what can trink six mugs of
lager beer without chokin.” “ But, see
here ” “ Oh, no, go away mit your
humbug, I doesn’t vote for no man mit
such a wife as dat. I goes fob a wo
mans LIKE A BED MIT A SHTUING TIED
ABOUND DEB MIDDLE.”
John Randolph’s Rebuke to iiis Ne
gboes.—Returning to Roanoke after a
long absence, John Randolph discovered
that the negroes had been very negligent.
The barns were empty, and there was
nothing to eat. He determined to as
semble the negroes and give them a talk.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” said lie, “I
appear before you with great diffidence
on the present occasion; perhaps, ladies
and gentlemen, you feel as deeply as I
do, for after inspecting the barns, I can
not find any evidence of your industry
during my absence. What is to be done ?
We have nothing to eat, and to avoid
starvation, one of us must necessarily run
away. Now, ladiesandgentlemen, I have
a proposition to make, which is this;
that as one of us must run away, we had
better compromise the difficulty, and
both of us run away together.”
The Habem and Veil. —Among the
later items of news from Constantinople,
which appear in the Allgetneine Zeitung ,
the paper so greatly favored by the
“distinguished regards”of Louis Napo
leon, is one to the effect that the Sultan
had determined to pension off all his
wives, except one who is to bear the title
of Empress. In connection with this
grand moral reform there is also another
move on the board of Turkish social life
which cannot fail to have a rather start
ling effect, and which is, that Turkish
women are in future to be unveiled in
public.
The correspondent adds, naively enough
that all of the young and pretty Turkish
misses aro delighted at the idea, while
the old and ugly ones fairly screech over
the propoesd innovation as sacrilege.
£S?~A California paper tells the fol
lowing of Lieu. Derby, “John Phcenix,”
the humorist:
“ One evening at the theatre, Phoe
nix observed a man sitting three seats
in front, whom he thought ho knew ;
he requested the person sitting next to
him ‘ to punch the other individual with
his cane.’ The polite stranger did so,
and the disturbed person turning his
head a little, he discovered his mistake—
that he was not the person he took him
for. lixiug his attention steadfastly on
the play, and affecting unconsciousness
of the whole affair, he left the man with
the cane to settle with the other for the
disturbance, who being wholly without
an excuse, there was, of course, a ludi
crous and embarrassing scene—during
all which Phoenix was profoundly inter
ested in the play. At last the man with
tlio cano asked, rather indignant!}'
‘ Dklu’t you tell me to punch that man
with my stick ?’
“ 1 Yes.’
“ And what did you want ?’
“ ‘ I wanted to see whether you would
punch him or not.’ ”
An Unfobtunatb Rooster. —There
aro objections to Shanghais, no doubt,
but we had never thought of this :
Mr. S , an old resident in
Stillwater, on the upper Hudson, intro
duced among his family of hens a few
Shanghais, including a rooster of for
midablo dimensions, who had “ run to
legs,” a good deal.
His crow was peculiar, and easily dis
tinguished from that of the other cocks.
One morning he had waited to hear
a repetition of the usual summons, after
being aroused by the “shrill clarion”
once sounded but bo heard it not again.
The pro eminent chanticleer was still.
Mr. S went out to sec what caused
the silence. He found the rooster lying
on his back with both legs out of joint.
After an examination, he set both legs;
the cock walked off and gave vent to
his satistaesion in a lusty crow. In the
very act ho dropped as if ho had been
shot. He had crowed his legs out of
joint again ! He was kept three or
four days and then killed. “It was too
much trouble, “ said Mr S., “to set
him up every time ho crowed.”—Knick
erbocker.
Fashion. —Fashion is poor vocation.
Its creed, that idleness is a privilege and
work a disgrace, is amongst the deadliest
errors. Without depth of thought orcarn
estness of feeling, or strength of purpose,
living an unreal life, substituting the ficti
tious for the natural, mistaking a crowd
for society, finding its chief pleasure in
ridicule, and exhausting its ingenuity in
expedients for killing time, fashion is
among the last influences under which
a human being who respects himself, or
who comprehends the great end of life,
would desire to be placed.— Channing.
The Lumpkin (Ga.) Plaindealer lias the
following: A cock-fighter was boasting
of the game of a favorite cock, which lie
proposed to fight against the world.
liis challenge was accepted, and his
boasted chicken hacked at the first spur.
“My friend,” said a bystander, “did
you not say that your chicken was
game
“Yes—lie is Bmlin-gamo !’’ was the
rueful reply.

with the strong recommendation of a friend, who
was well nigh gone with consumption, and whose
relief from the use of it satisfied me of its great
value in cases of cold and decline, and most clear

a restorative, that only needs a fair trial to ensure
a grateful demonstration from the public.

The Grand Secret of Health.
At least one half of our sick population
of both sexes and all ages, might enjoy robust
health if they could only bo brought to believe,
practically, that ‘ cleanliness is next to godliness.’
For this reason every invention of genius and
discovery of science that renders bathing a luxu
ry, merits the thanks and patronage of every re
al philanthropist. The “ Malm of a Thousand-
Flowers” more than any other cosmctio in the
world, effects this object: it impregnates the wa
ter—hard and soft, hot and cold—with a incdici.
nal property very invigorating to the body, and
gives to it an oilv softness, and sweet perfume,
which cause the bather a delicious feeling of per
sonal comfort, purity and health.
Tiie Editor of the Newark Mercu
ry says:—We feel justified in asserting that LY

therefore, that this world renowned article should

Holloway’s Ointment and Pills,
a certain remedy for Ulcerous sores.—Jeremiah

years and five months with six ulcerous sores on
his leg, and three on his arms which defied every
kind of treatment, although he used some of the
most noted remedies for the cure of the same*
both internal and external, it was without avail.
At last he had recourse to Holloway’s Ointment
and Fills, which quickly caused the wounds to
have an improved appearance, and by continuing
with these remedies for ten weeks, he was com
pletely cured, and has ever since enjoyed the best
of health.

A F ItICAIY
DIARRHEA SPECIFIC.
NEVER KNOWN TO F>II,
A SURE, safe and reliable remedy for Diarr
f\_ hcca, Dysentery, Cholera Morbus, Cholera,
Cramp and Pain in the Stomach or Bowels, Chol
ic, Vomiting, Sea Sickness, Heart Burn, Water
brash, or Acid Eructations after eating, Nervous
Headache and other symptoms of Nervous Debil
ity. It is particularly adapted to the cure of
Summer Complaint, Cholera Infantum, Teething
Diarrhoea, and similar Diseases of Children, it
being very pleasant to take and mild in its oper
ation.
This Remedy was used with perfect success by
Dr. Appleby, the original Proprietor, during a ten
years residence on the coast of Western Africa,
where Cholera, Diarrhoea,and Dysentery, in their
most aggravated forms prevail and have ever
proved so fatal to European residents. Since his
return lie has made constant use of it in his prac
tice, and has never known it to fail in Dysentery
and Diarrhoea, when taken according to direc
tions. In the mines of California, where many
fall victims to the Diarrhpeaand Dysentery so fa
tal among the miners in that country, it has been
used with eminent success, and has never been
known to fail in giving speedy and permanent re
lief. One letter from the mines says: “When
all other medicines used here have failed, the 1).-
arrhooa Specific works like a charm.” Another
says of it: “ The Specific has proved effectual in
every case in which l have known it ustd: two
or three doses being sometimes sufficient to effect
a cure.” We have many certificates of the per
manent cure of Chronic Affections of the Stom
ach and Bowels by this remedy, in which all oth
ers had failed.
is unsurpassed in the cure of many dis
eases peculiar to females.
The Medicine is now prepared under the direc
tion of one of the first Chemists and Physicians
in Massachusetts.

A NEW COOPER!
JUST PUBLISHED,
SARATOGA:
A TAI.E OF 1787.
A Romance oj American Border Life. One x l
time , 12 mo.y Mndin y Price $1.25.
AMERICAN. Novelists have of late confined
_ themselvesmainly to sketches of social and
domestic life. They have aimed to produce minia
tures and cabinet pieces rather than historical pic
tures. The authocofSaratoga has chosen a large
canvas, and has wrought with 4 bolder hand.
By placing the scene of his story on what was
then the verge of civilization, and portraying
characters trained in all the exigencies of border
life, he has constructed a narative full of startling
incident and thrilling adventure, without viola
ting the probabilities of history. The bold, cau
tious woodsman, Sarnlv Brigham, the watchful,
taciturn Indian, Catfoot, and the wily, revengeful
half-breed, Jot*, will compare favorably with Che
best deliniatious in the “ Lcathcrstoclcing Tales”
of the great American Novelist. Since Cooper
put forth his earlier and better novels, no Ameri
can author has written a work of this class pos
sessing merits cqmjl to this tale of life on the bor
ders. w*
The title of this book gives us to know at once
the nature of its contents. It abounds in inci
dents of an exciting character.
