Meteoric fr bowers— This grand phenomenon which we have s-> anxiously desired to lie an eye witness tej' and which has in times past, created such ideal sublimity in our imagination whileperusing the ac counts given by others, has again transpired, when we were insensibly retained by the silken .eords of Mor pheus, front gius : ng Upon the splendid illuratnation Haw much of interest are w« unhappily deprived of in con sequence of our wiiliug submission to this agreeable god of worship.

The Cloning np of the Pastoral loir. As previouily denoted, the Iluv. T T. Ciikistian occupied the Pulpit for tko'jast tune as Paster of the Metho dist Churob at this place, aud in accord dance witfrtha occasion, the very Sppra priate text was selected, found iu the 16th Chap, of Paul’s Epistlo to tho Oorrinthians, Bth, 9;h and 10th verses, coofining himself more especially to the latter verse as the basis of hia sermon : •‘Now, if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear, for he worketb the work of the Lord, as I also do.” After briefly stating the reasons for selecting the tex f , which was that of preparing the Church for the reception of his success rr, he entered into the following analysis of tbo subject: Ist. The duties of the ministry ; “2nd. The corresponding duties of the Church. Ist. Then as to the Ministry : The Minister as such, U first called to tho work, and in obedience to this call, he virtually turns lose the intermingling of worldly affairs, and gives Liaiselt up to the Ministry. ffnd.. Htjs Hit only called to the work, but commanded. This command issues from the highest authority. It is p- remptorv. The language is, go in to all the world and preach the Gospel. From the nature of the command, the Methodist Church has established the | mode of itinerancy. Then if God calls, sends au 1 com mands, will not the work be accom plished, even though he may not be a Paul or an Apollos that comes among yon. Tho i'iopoitant consequence is with you as a Church. Trust to the fact, that he will be a good man. The pale of the Church is so guarded as to guarantee this Remember that his is a responsible work, unlike the Physician, whose office is to administer temporary relief to the suffering sick, but one of greater importance, that involving the eternal interest of the soul. The Min istry is a laborious work. Itisnatsim ply from the sacred desk, in the matter of preaching the word of God, that the Ministerial duties are per ormed. It is a continual work ; a labor of watchful ness and care. It is the lot of the faith ful servant of God to he assailed and persecuted by wicked men, as John and Christ were persecuted, so it is with those who represent the cause of Christ at the present day. Ilis labors in pi ay r for support in the hour of temptation, administering a word of comfort to the needy, is a part of his ministerial du ties, and will you say iu view of tais, that bis is a life of ease. After setting forth the abovr division, which we have endeavored to fullow iu a manner as concise as the statement of the principle facts alluded to would per mit—he entered upon the second dtvi si m of bis subject, which consisted chit fly in an appeal to the Church, in sisting that he who is to follow in the Pastoral charge should he received with c infiddeuce l and that his Ministry should b# appreciated. That the principles of religion be cultivated and kept alive in the Church. Let him not fear that he lacks devotional assistance, and above all things let him feel that he will not loose his reward in wiuning souls to Christ. Let him not fear as to his temporal sup port, as he will he giving you his time, you should be responsible for this. He here closes, by alluding to his own ministerial servic s that had past, hoping that the progress of the Church may he such that he might not in a coming day Use his reward. The people listened attentively, shed tears freely and gave every evidence that a lasting impression was nude lpou tieir minds Judging from all tbe'oir t cumstaucea of the occasion, wc have ev ery reason to believe that the bread then aud there cast upon the waters will be found many days hence. ! Fads and Fancy. 1 The pm is said to be mightier than the sword. So is ink mightier than the peD. People who sling printer’s ink are j the mightest of all—the monarch* of mankind. He who understands this art in all its ramifications travels the short est and best route to the head and un- 1 derstanding of human nature. Prin ter’s ink has made more fames and for tunes than any other':—perhaps all other i —tbings put together, j The necessities of life are compara -1 tively small. It is the luxuriis that count heavy on the purse To procure the latter, men make themselves the mo«t abject of slaves Nature oalls for j water which costs no'hing; man for champagne at $7 per bottle. The form er is always good and salutary; the lat ter rarely so. When we go back to simplicity in these matters, we shall go forward to a really better style of living. A merry heart makes sunshine Ev crybody is warmed and enlightened by | it. It e'xhilerates a whole household' : its cultivation should be gcueral. The world would be better lor it, and indi j viduals vastly happier, Poverty isn’t always a matter of dol i lars and cents. A. pocket fall of money 1 and an empty head are often the worst possession a man ran have; he is sure to illustrate the saying, that all fools are not dead Positive people keep the world going, but Bfgwttre oner have their use. Many a wife i$ charming booaoso-of her nega tive qualities; iu other words, because she is quiet, contented, amiable, win ning and good. The rivalries; coupe’■ tions aud struggles of life require that tnen should be positive. If not, they are shoved aside, trodden upon, and cast among the nohodien. Women are not made hotter but worse by this contaet and rub. I’ weakens instead of streng'h ens them. Now and then a strapping exception appears A woman who ought tc have been a mao, struts up and down the world, not only in the most positive but tho most ridicubus way also. The merit of positive quality depends upon whether it fits. In walking to Church with a friend i on Sunday morning last, we noticed a 1 gentleman walking up the street with a lady on his right arm, and we asked our co upanion which arm a gentleman should take when with a lady. He promptly replied : “Whichever he can get, and think himself lucky at that.”— Macon Ideyraph. Col. Hulbort bas paid $25, 000 into the State Treasury from the earn ings of W. A R. R , ’or October.
