There arc .days in our life that , are
brighter than others,. when .the sky is
clear, and the air ts full of fragrance ;
that follows us in alter days like a
beaut iful dream that savors of an un
real pleasure, that we love to keep as a
memento in our.minds.. There are pe
riods in oar life whan, wo iigvg all the
gloom that at any time clings about us,
driven away, and the min i, heart, and
till our capacities for refuted pleasure
ami enjoyment; leas: a1; wuen our
cares, or at least the crowding perplex
ities of business are put aside and for
gotten for a short happy space, when
kindred minds an l ta;tes ; tliat rtta par
allel, are delighted -and refreshed by
interchange of expression; not only so
bill our feelings, our conduct, and our
conversation are improved, and become
more refined at evoryattompt to please
and to deserve merit and appreciation,
more especially if we are guide l by an
inato disposition, that seeks this
pleasant social intercourse, like the
stream laugn.ing along,-its pebbly bed
seeks its level.
The e pleasures are not, with all per

thatjcultivates, harbors and keeps those
qualities of congeniality and , social

It is at home and around the fireside
as lion. 11. V. Johnson remarked
the otiiir day, that principles .of relig

of their individual home instruction and

to deplore
society we oo rtbt ineaajtnarkmd of so

makes that ami gold its standard, for
we consider' such standard devoid of
true reiinemont and proper intellectual
distinction. -Nor dp we class those that
make merry over the con'viml bowl,
and that arc most, at hoiuetin the ball
room, a3 those that are most happy* most
social and most beneficially instructed.
Society in none of its prosperous and
util ziig ihww, is aided by the ex

many Tonus.
The intercourse and the feature of
social advancement that w<j' contend
for is That higher training of ftnfiumd
and faculties that ou.lighleus. instructs,
elevates and retinea, that gives ns appop
hr'victor of life, and learns us hoiv to
enjoy it without violating any of its
given laws, which violation always
brings its penalty. A society that
builds its structure, its frame work, its
union out oT the elements that go to
make np good will, fellows'dp and fra
ternity, all of which grow out of hearts
and minds tl|at arc pure, and whosecigi
putses aud ambitions aspiie to an influ

not dlo in a day.
Such association constitutes the bright
days of our life unclouded by prejudice,
uninterrupted by bickering and strife,
but made clear by love, confidence and
congeniality'.

The causes are so numerous that the
with fulVjJxplanatious, would
swetl the article beyond the capacity of
the paper. L only' propose to notice the
more prominent. .
The fortunes de’slr.'frbfPor r •duced by
the war, and its erf- .7, and the reiui
nants of whiclj ivu-*j,!iave iMUproved,
htit a lar*?b majority hav6 dlirn&sFicd or
entirely- wasted, wvere aoauinulated by
'an ’ ancestry that pursued different
modes of life, and had views radically
different from ours, as to both industry
and economy. They forced nearly all
the- people to do something. We in
dulge a majority in idleness, and pay for
their ease and luxury. The)' did with
out thousands of things we consume on
our taste and appetite, and would be
happier without'. They produced nearly
everything they used, while we buy
nearly everything. They were happy
and contented at home, while we spend
onr money in railroad cars and hotels.
They trainc 1 their children for wives
and domestic industry, ami for the
manly pursirts that are productive, in
stead of those that are elegant and amu
sing. They lived in plain style a-t to
household and equipage, wnlkb 1 or.
rode horseback, and dressed in the ar
ticles of domestic manufacture ; tan
ned their leather au l male their shoes!
and harness ; sheared their own sheen.-!
and made wool clothes an 1 hats ; ginne 1
their own cotton, and ma le the cotton
fabrics that the females wove and dyed
in colors; they had their wool shops
an 1 blacksmith shops, and common m •-
Chanted for Ordinary work. Thev cut
their timber for wagons, carts, wheel
barrows. and plow stocks an 1 handles
from their own f wrests, an l itewe l with
their own broad-axes their building tim
ber, and rive 1 the covering; with their
own fro wars ; they raised their horses,
inuTes, bogs, streep an 1 gon'r's. The im
prove meats of our times require that all
these shall be purchased. They caught
their own game and fish to eat ; raised
and dried their own fruit ; they planted
and produced the root ail vine crop ;
l lived well an l were healthy, in those
goo l old days pr</msinit .s'ore.s had not
been heard of, except what every frugal
man had on his own farm.
Slid, there is ground to hope that rea
son and common-sense, as derived from
experience and stern necessity, are co
operating to impress the public mind
with tint necessity of a fitiuiam-mtal
change of our mil*s of life. In order
to promote that, change, let us enquire
! what became of our money? Using round
, numbers, we have ni.-i le tso.o;) i.0.i0 bales
of cotton sin v. tha war, wild throe
thousand millions of dollar*;'"'the pro
l ceeds of Which, properly husbanded,
j would have made us the richest com
mon people on the globe, an l our sed
ition the, mast popular aii attractive to
: people and capital.-
in view of that, happy situation,-in
| many places, we have w.ide l fields, rot
; ted fences, dilapidated houses,, shabby
i homes, relics ol orchards* gardens and
I vineyards, depleted slock, sons an 1
! daughters strangers to industry and
I toil, and a Idicted care and fashion, dis
courage'! employers and impoverishe 1
laborers, with their hordes of non-work
i! ers.
1 have pointed to our ino 33 of life,
as one of the great outlets. It is(?)
through the-manifold ways and menus ,
only one of many.
The people seem to have been, in
many instance.',, bereft of their common
Sense in business, ai evidenced bv the
failure to keep, the expenditure within
the income, which is the key to uiiibok
ttrtH explain '‘lfearly every failure that
has taken place.
They have exerted Ilnur uv st ardent
efforts; in vi.siiojary ventures, trusting
t > the vagar,es and whims of the go I
doss of fortune, they have literally gam
bled in credit, irtTTieefiterj.risesof in
dustry ms .well as trade.
It woltl-l ahnust t'afco a now aiithme

in farming.

lottery tickets.
it lias been lately published that
there are I.UOU.OOOof lifo-insuranee poll
cos in the limited States, with tljrecf
thousand millions insured ! aud th.iitho
amount is annually doubled !
Passing by, for the present, the qnes
tion as to the capacity of the companies
ever to disburse the vast’aiho’hnt'ofTia
bility indicated, and the danger of loss
to the insured, if catihoi be reasonably 1
denied, that the efforts of the piople to
carry their policies, have had much to
do in depleting all classes of

capital and building up lni'g! mo tev
centres. We have weak and languid
circulation, and cod l ami
plethora with nndne heat and 1,
xnentin the vital center. The,cities go
up like magic; the country withers and
droops I ike a decayed limb.
Several years ago, t tried in vain to
warn qrtr poopjo qf this evil,, aud to im
press on their minds .tile great truth
! that the money' was needed for the en
j terprises and industries of the living.
Failures have multiplied, values have
I shrank, and those who have not felt the,
pressure, and realized the general de
cline, are exceptions among our people.
We have produced more cotton than the
factories need, and they, more goods
than the consumers need,' or are able to
buy. Trade and transportation have
felt the shock. Building has been ar
rested and the demand for material
abated. Tito numbers engaged in pro
ductive industry have diminished, while
tiiose living by other means have in
creased, and the world, under the im
provement* and civilization ofthc times,
and onr system of education, is brought
to an abnormal state, by the destruction
, of th* eqnUibrinm between labor and
i production on the one side, and of con
j sumption and waste on the other. To
meet this exigency, money and securi
ties have augnmented and resting like
everything else, on uncertain and shift
j ing values. Holders are fevirish and
restless, and it is difficult to imagine an
I interest than is not affected.
These changes have been gradually
developed. The relief must come the
j same way. it is not in the hands of
; legislators, executives or courts, not in
1 the hauds of money corporations, or as
sociated bodies, notintha hands of ag
j gregate communities. It is in the hands
of individual men and women, bovs and
girls ! These individuals must find out
what have been their respective errors,
and set to work an 1 correct them.—
JFhen the individuals of a eonunuuit v
become prosperous, then the commit li
j ty will will be prosperous, an 1 not until
then. Relief must come, if at all, by
j individual effort, and individual success
- cannot be otherwise so wall promote 1.
i as by Union and Co-operation.

reckless character of every intcligiblc
statement you make. You say that
Erasmus was the first man to translate
the New Testament into Greek ! In the
name of common sense, from what lan

Bui if you have done the author justice
in culling from him, 1 pity the people
who arc edified by his writings, llore 1
drop your criticism with the simple sug

The position J took in the letter you
criticise is this—till Greek word bap
tise is a general term, used in both the
Septnagint an l the No r Testament to
describe various kinds of washing. I re
I ere i to several; you refer to t’ e mse of

The point to be aimed at is to make the

crop grown as Jigut as possible, and to
do this the aero must bo made to pro

A A OTHER SURPRISE AT BETII
ANY NOV. 1 3th.
M i:--,r.s. Editors :—On last Tuesday
night the friends of Ili.v. J. M. Cfioss
gave him a surprise that was a surprise
worth talking about; consequent!v, I
hope no body will blame me for telling’
you something about it, as I was “thar
and seed it all.”
You remember it was an awful rainy
night, threatening to r.pile the whole
programme. But, instead of that it
gave intensity to the feelings that
prompted i). and stronger proof of the
warmth and sincerely of their friend
ship. They know his good nains had
ixsen traduced-; his .reputation not only
as a minister of the Gospel, but as a
man, unjustly assailed ; and they de
termined to “prove their faith by their
works." He was kept in profound i
norauce of what was intended till near
ly dark—barely time to doif his old
working clothes and dou something a
little better.
W ell, notwithstanding the rain, by
dark, the company began to pour in,
and kept coming till eight or nine
o clock, with their offerings, till the num
ber swelled up lo about fifty, with their
various presents too numerous to men
tion, JSufUce it to say they comprised
a long list of the most necessary and
essential articles of house-keeping,
ranging fioui bedsteads, mattresses,
quilts, sheets, blankets, provision
plates, dishes, knives and forks, cups
and saucers, &c., Ac., &e., to the en l
of the chapter.
“And to crown (he enchantment of
the scene,’’ the ladies—God bless 'em—
brought a profusion of choice viands
and delicacies to charm the eye and ap
pease the cravings of the inner man.
The repast lie ing over, Ur. Randall,
in behalf of the donors, presented tiis
offerings to Mr. Grass am! family, with a
few appropriate remarks, or a little a l
ilress, of which the following is a copy.
To which Mr. Gross made the following
response. So elide l one of the mo it
pleasant scenes that lifts transpired in
Bethany in many a day. Amici s..

lliiOTiiKK Cross axti Famitt.--Al
low me in behalf of your nnruerous
friends, both present and absent,Jo pre
sent you this beautiful collection of
houselioM and family comforts, as evi
dence more tangible than words, of orr
friendship and esteem ; and hope they
will bo received in tile spirit' in which
they were given.
Let no assure yon, sir, they arc not
given as a charitable donation, but as a
memento of true friendship and regard.
It is truly a joyous occasion, and we
tender you our sincere congratulations,
on the happy exchange of your old. di
-1 initate 1 dwelling for your present new,
commodious and and handsome domi
cile, and surrounded by so many friend ;
who are neither ashamed nor afraid thus
publicly to manifest theirtribn Isliip.
The truth of the old adage is now
being verified, that “alder a storm look
out for a calm.” But, a short time ago
you and your house hoi I, were shrouded
in a mantle of sadness and gloom.
Dark clouds had suddenly loomed up
p irtan ling a storm that t hreatened ruin,
yes utter ruin to you and yours. But
the darkest time of the night is said to
be just before day. The gatimrin ;
storm passed over learn ;no trace of
injury iu its wake, revealing a brighter
sunshine to illuminate your future path
way. You have passed through the
fiery ordeal unscathed, and like Slial
raeh, Meshack ami Abefilnigo, have
come out of the furnace without even
the smell of fire upon your garments*
Again, sir, I congratulate you.
mil c.iosfs it KIM, v.
UnoTHun R wn.M.r, and Futkntys.—
[ find it difflcult indeed to express mv*
liigh appreciation of you all, and this
substantial exhibition of your friend
ship, esteem aud confidence.
I have live 1 and labored' in your
midst for ten years. My works are be
fore men, my record is in hkaven. You
of nil others, itre best prepared to weigh
my worth, as a minister among you, and
give an appropriate expression of the
same.
Here 1 find not only the members of
my own church, but the members of
other churches, aid those not of my
chtireh all contributing to cheer mg
heart and encourage me for the conflicts
of the future. These manifestations of
true friendship, kindle within me emo
tions of pleasure and gratitude which I
have no langnage to express.
When I consider the brief past with
its dark an 1 lengthening shadow o ,
shrouding my moral stm in midnight
darkness, the present sunshine is over
powering.
It hides 1, lights up every roeoss of
my soul, and fillk fite itith gra!-
ilt)de to Go l for his providential care.
To yon, my friends, for your love ami
esteem. I accept gratefully these dona
tions in tlio spirit in winch they wera
tendered, and shall ever regard them
with feelings of gratitude and joy, as

Suffice it to say with reference to
your congratulations, ten lorod upon the
happy exchange from m v old, dilaindat
ed dwelling to the new one, 1 sinoerely

Mav I never act unworthy of your
friendship and comiuenue, but may the

Wronger an l st.roager as ogr lives wear
