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. §j)ecls polices. g:gy° This certifies that I have used Ber ry Davis’ Vegetable Fain Kilter with great suc cess in cases of cholera infantum, common bowel complaint, bronchitis, coughs, colds, Ac., and would cheerfully recommend it as a valuable fam ily medicine. ‘ JAMES C.

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 ON’S KATHAIUON is, besides, being- the cheap est, the most delightful, agreeable and in all res’ pects satisfactory hair preparation that we over met with.

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. For sale in Madison bv Aug3o BENJ. G. LIDDON. Jerc Clemens’ New Book.

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.
