having adopted the emit of tho aeoaolees
rubble nro nndorstood to menn by Irena-
on, somothing very boil. It inny bo
well in this Inter nnd calmer day, to cull
upspnie fucts. Tlio tilings, of which 1
propone to speak—have passed into his
tory—are on record in tho printed inin-
uturt of the Assemblies,
Ol.D SCHOOL OKKXBAL ASSEUni.Y.
“It in hereby ordered that all our
Presbyteries cwmino every minister ap
plying for admission front any Presby
tery or other ecelcHiusticiil body in the
Southern States on the following
points"—
I. “Whether lie has in nny way, di
rectly nr indirectly, of his own free will
und consent, or without external con
straint, been concerned at nny time, In
Hiding or countenancing the rebellion
nnd the wur which have boon waged
againrtt the United States ; and if it be
found by his own confession, or from
sufficient testimony, Ihut ha Ims been so
concerned, that he bo required to con-
fern! and forsnko his uin in thie regard
before ho Hhali bo received."
VI. "Whether lie holds that tho sys
tem of negro slavery in tho South in a
Divine institution, * • * • and if
• it be found that he holds either of these
"doetrines, that he be not received with
out renouncing and forsaking these er
ror*.”
V. Church sessions nro also ordered,
to examine all applicants for church
membership by persons from Southern
States, or who have been living in the
South since the rebellion, concerning
thuir conduct und principles oo poiuts
above specified, nnd il it bo found, of
their own freo will, they have taken up
uruiH against the United States, or that
they hold ulnvery to bo an ordinance
ol (Jod, na above stated, such persons
i-IhiI I not be admitted to the Commuion
of the Church till they give evidence of
repentance for their sin nnd repudiate
their error.
VI. This resolution recommends "that
jaatice be tempered with mercy" incuse
of imjiultive young men, who have been
seduced from their loynlty by their erro-1
neous interpretation of the doctrine of 1
State K ghtfc.
VII. Tiiis resolution makes provisions
for ministers, “who have fl**! or been
sent by civil or military authority be-
yood tho jurisdiction of tho United
States, # * or may have gone to any
of tho .Southern Htatcs " These ure to be
suspended or deposed, "and no longer
deemed membcfw of tho Presbyterian
Church," if they do not come up to the
b Land urd of loyalty, etc.
There was uMother paper adopted
anathematizing the Southern church und
cluinnng the church properly.
"The Assembly hereby declares, that
it will recognize us the church, the mem-
bore of any churdb within the bounds of
tho fcbibiu, who are loyal to tho Gov
ernment of the United States, * *
nnd the several testimonies of the Pres-
bytorian Church on tbe subject of do
mestic slavery.”
"And it is further ordered, that due
caro be taken, where this is practicable,
to secure tho Itousen of worship and oth
er church property, belonging to Pres
byterians in those Staton, to tho use of
loyal churches."
Thu following resolution, was also
adopted ;
‘•Resolved. Thvt no iniiMionnrloa Iw appointed
lijr the Board, except those giving satWaotocy
evidence of loyally to tliM national (luvcmment,
and of cordial" sympathy with Uni Presbyterian
Church, In her testimony ou doelrluo, loyalty
and ftsedootr
This rPmarkdblc (dstiitlony is an rec
ord. AdtWfdiHg to it, it is a mortal Bin
for a mud to hold, that the Bible coun
tenances slavery as it existed in the
South, It debars him from membership
in the tJhurch ol Christ on earth. Ao-
oordiug to this standard of loyalty, es
tablished as fur back as 1801, I do not
believe it possible for a man to bo loyal.
Neutrality won’t do, and how can lie, as
things now csist, support the Preaideat
and the Congress f I
Now, let ub look "lerimple question
in the face. Ad:: ..mg that the Conor
nl Assembly bus decided all the iiuoh
tions correctly, I ask, by wbat authori
ty theso decisions are rendered and
made a term of church membership? If
they have decided correctly the doctrine
of States Righta, where i« their ntilhori-
ly for making it a term of church mem
bership? If tlio Southern people by re
bellion have violated u constitutional
compact, and by attempted secession
have usurped unwarranted power, and
thereby committed sin that cannot bo
forgiven on earth, what have vhey dnuo
with that good old Constitution, which
says : "Synods nro to Imudlo or con
clude nothing, but that which is ecclesi
astical, and arc not to intermeddle in
civil affairs which concern the common
wealth ?" What have they done with
that higher Constitution, wiiloh snys :
‘•My kingdom is not of this world
They have not onlv unchurched South
ern Christians, nnd sent out men to seize
property not their own, but they by
these acts have belied ull the former tes
timonies of the ehurcli they claim to rep
resent—they have attempted to brand
sh u crime some of the precious doc
trines, for tho defence of Which, Scot
land’s hills many a time were lighted up
with the flumes of tho Htskc—they have
trampled upoo the Constitution of Pres-
hytoriuns, und they have violated the
Bible. If every word 1 any, is not true,
I will bo glad to recant. If tho very
orawu-rlghts of Christ have boon usurp
ed, may no! there ho alter all a much
more terrible signiflenney in tho lan
guage of the Assembly, than the au
thors aiidpoctedi When it shall be turned
upon tlio disloyal in that Commonwealth,
of which Christ is King ? "Whuthor he
bus in any way, directly or indirectly, of
liis own lrce will and consent, or without
extcruul constraint been concerned at
any timo in aiding and countenancing
tho rebellion, and tlio war, which has
been waged against” not the United
States, but against somo of God’s poor,
und acainat tho prerogatives of the
Grunt King of tho Church ?
Well, why did you not "come buck ?"
Wu answer in the lungungo of Scot
land’s historian, "A man may lose his
civil liberties, or submit to civil wrongs,
and be a Christian still; butu Christum
cannot yield up bis religious liberty,
without committing a grievous sin, sink
lug into the condition of n slave nnd for
feiting his hopes of heaven." Yoon.

Advertising fora Wife.
Bent was to hnvo n newspaper ! Who
would have thought it hud attained ho
much importance? The old villagR gos
sips Imd Brftmniiing to talk about n.»w;
nnd they improved the opportunity, fear
ful, I presume, that 1he now innovation
Mould crowd them out of their employ
ment. Everybody" and everybody’s rol-
atirUff tttlll their uietUU were expected
to tlntroulZe "the newspaper" of course;
if for no other reason, to encourage the
onterprisiug young men, two of them,
who wore to be “editors and proprie
tors."
Each one of the sever J merchants
BtJht Contained were to publish tllfett or
four tliuning advertisements apiece ; both
of the hotels were going to Uouri»h in
S reat capitals ia the cubitus of the "Rent
xaminer,” if they flourished no where
riso | in fact, all who were engaged in
any buskioos would advortiso, frdlll the
M. D. down to Miss tttiip, the suatn-
stress ; and those who had no profession
dr Dado to advortiso, would "take the
paper
Eul
iugunc McDaniels belonged to tho lat
ter oluss ; ho had not yet omninenoed
practising at the bur, for which ho wan
studying, unless, indeed ho sometimes
did nrnclisu a little at tho bar of tlio Eu-
glo ITotol ; I don’t bullovo lie over did,
though. Eugene had subscribed for tho
"Bent Examiner," but ho was ambitious
to do more than that, and the only thing
ho could think of was to advertise for n
wife ; accordingly the first Issue of tho
paper contained, in a very conspicuous
portion of its local column, the following
announccmout j—
"Any of the lady ruudors of this pa
per who will bo kiud enough to writo to
the subscriber, who is the uglient-look-
inp singlo innn in this tdwti, will find n
faithful correspondent, nnd perhaps some
thing more. Address Box 111."
Novy Eugene knew that he wns not
the "ugllost-loojcing single man in town
fsr from thut, he wus conscious of boiug
good -looking fcnoiigli to attract tlio ad
miring glances «f more titan one pair of
bright eyes, nnd lie returned suit! glan
ces with intoroat.
Many wore the conjectures aa to who
owned "floN 111," and the postmaster
had sorno difficulty in evading tin? ques
tions of those who were anxious to know
who "111 " wus ; but he remembered
his instructions too well to betray his
un in c.
Eugene had a younger sister who
wns just ii8 mischievous us himself, nnd
though lie was as loud of sport us any
one need he, lie always thought it in-
cumhent Upon hint to chock her when
her flow or spirits was too exuberant to
suit Ilia fastidiousness. Helen futt u little
nfruid of her brother, buoause ho was bo
sarcustio ill Ills ruiflHlks WllWI displeased
with her, and she dreaded his sarcasm
so veiy much that she would do alun^it
anything rather than incur his displeas
ure.
Now, Helen road the “Bout Examiner,”
and, its u matter of course, she wus in
terested in that one item of the local col
umu more than in ull the rest of tho pn-
por ; oven the "marriages and deaths"
failed to uwuken us muolt interest in her
mind ua usual, for was there not some
thing of more importance to be found in
thut one item than in ull the marriages
nod deaths that might occur, outside of
their own fumily, in tho whole county ?
Helen knew better than to confide her
mtonliuitH lo Eugene, but from tho first
moment after the perusal of tlio ndve-r-
tilumuut sho was resolved to answer it.
A few days subsequent to the fiist ap
pearance of the "Bent Examiner" Eu
gene received u letter which road nonr
ly as follows: —
"Poor 111 : — I pity you sincerely,
and think 1 have u right to, for have 1
not always been called—-not pet iiamos,
but a horrid friglil ? When pur folks
plant corn they alwuys station mu in
the field ns a scarecrow, and I aosuro
you I make u capital good one ; neveru
crow dares show liimssli in the field
whero I am. "Misery loves oompany,"
you koow, nnd perhaps that is sufficient
to oxplain my motive for answering
your advertisement. Jf you see fit to
a ns war this, well and good, it not, I'll
not write to you again.’*
Tins signed, sealed and dispatched,
Helen waited quite patiently fur the re
ply, which was not long in coming, for
Eugono was pleased by tho Hprighllinuga
and fun which seemed to shine out from ,
every lino of the little missive ; so he se
lected it from among a number of others,
to bo answered find. It i« not necessa-1
ry to chronicle all tho nonsense that
passed between them; neither suNpected
tho other, though Helen thought she de
tected some resemblance to the hand
writing of first one, und then unothur ol"
her acquaintances, in tho letters sho re
ceived from her unknown correspon
dent,
Finally they agreed to moot ; Eugene
gave his "fair correspondent" the privi
lege of selecting the time and place fur
their first meeting. As she know ull the
young men in the neighborhood, eho did
not four any untoward circumstances
would occur, but, thinking it might be
some one she might uot wish to reoeiye
visits from ufter ho knew she hud writ
ten such familiar letters to him, she re-
resorted to a little subterfuge by writing
h : m that if ho would moot her at her
friend’s, Helen McDaniels," she would
be there any evening he might desig
nate.
Bite received on answer, tbo uext mur-
ning, duliriiig IlhJ? lb be at Ur. MiiDiln-
l«U’ that evening, and »ho would see
her unknown oorrospondont without
fail.
In Bent people nto their meals at sea
sonable hour*, and tho doctor's family
were no oxeepliun to tho general rule ;
they drank their toa at six o’clock, nnd
us soon aw it was done with, Helen wont
up to her own room to runko some im
provements in her toilet. She soon
oajfio down into the parlcr, dressed bo-
tfHftflligly, nnd looking as fresh ns a rose.
What was her surprise to find Eugene
there before hpr, "fixed up in his beat
bib and tucker," as Helen afterwards
said,
Ho looked up ns she cflttlo into the
roonij and asked if she was going out.
"No, I was expecting company this
evening,” she replied. ‘ But whero nro
you going ?’’
"j thought I wottld go up and see
Rotta.ilinnoo a while ; who do yon ex
pect lioro, sis ? any one I want to sco ?”
"No, you go on if you're going; it’s
no one you want to see, or thut wants to
see you, either.”
"Don’t bo so sure about thut; llttlo
sister; I believe, after all, I won’t go
out; I’ll stay and see who is coming
bore."
Ilelon know she might ns well keep
Still, ao she made no furtho'r reply, blit
seating herself uL the piano, commoucod
playing all tlio sentimental pieces she
could thiuk ol, keeping Imr eye ml hot
brother, muuuwhilo, to hoc if ho was go
ing. But no, there sat tlm provoking
fellow by the window, watching every
female form as it enmo into view, and
until it passed tho house. At last ho
came over to the piano, and turned the
music for Helen, and when she grew
tired of playing lie pulled the great oasy-
chnir up by the window forhor.aud seat
ed himself by her side.
"Como, Helen, toll mo who your visi
tor is won't you ?" ho coaffcd.
"No, you’ll find out if you wait long
enough," was her answer.
Finding her uncommunicative, ho de
termined to tease her a little.
" Woll," Baid ho, "1 can’t wnit nny Ion-
gor (o find out: I guess I’ll go tip to
Hquiro Dinuen’s and see if Itotta in go
ing to tho parly next Thursday. If he
comes while I’m gone, you tell him whnt
a lime I waited for him, and toll him, if
lie’ll stay long enough, I’ll boo him homo
after my return."
Ho went out on tho steps, and a min-
