" And it came to pass in those days, to-wit: the twentieth day of tlie eleventh tnnntli of tlie year, when the E hiopian* from afar off in the country were wont to e me to the mm ki ts in towns w here the ih sci miauls of Jmh h and benjamin have tnlceii up tlu-ir idiode ior a time. And it so happened on the add (lay of tS’ said nWmtli that one Ethiopian.

And the said Elliii pi:m 4 coming from a far distaiiee in the coiinfry around alsnit Quitman, tlie maiket place for tlie fruit, of his toil, and which was pully inhabited bv the desei 11 hit ts of Benjamin mid Judnll. And the said Ethiopian came unto tlie dc-c nditllts of iteujamill mid saying, have come unto thee, Oh N than, thou seed of Benjamin, knowing that thou art a just man, dealing iu charily to all Ethiopians, and giving unto' them to eat from thine own table, not the ermuhs that falleth, hut such fI Mill ns then dost eat thy si If.

But tile VXrkiWiau had heard that there was some of the cliildre 1 of Judah living in the same town of Quitman, and tlmt they too bought and sold in the market, and so the Etbiopkin, after hearing Nubian's offer, went forth into tlie street and came unto ti e house of Haruum the son of Jmluli and said unto Hut man, “I have wen Natlmn, sou of Benjamin, and lie wants my staple for hSs thajf its full value." And Ilmnniu, the Judiihitc, said, "I will give unto thee the full value of thy staple," Aral the Ethiopian's heart was filled with joy, and lie said unto Harman, '‘TIIOII art the man for whom I have seareheil; although thou hiist, not given to tWc meat and drink, ftor a place to lodge; I will sell unto thee, for thou art a just limit, giving full value for Ihal I have, and not deceiving me with mock eourteaieaits Nathan does. " So Ilnrmnir vfotif forth anil lilaoed his murk ii|hhi the exterior of the > tuple.

And when he 1 arne nigh unto Harman, the .) tula lute, he said, “Have I not told you that since the II client defeat that Ethiopia is my heritage, and that I am entitled to 1 “liv fruits of her soil? Have I not told yon, nnd does not all the inhabitant* know, thatl entertain them at my own hone, giving of my substance unto them, fc.Virtg to them meat anil drink from my own table, that J might have their confidence and the fruits of tlieir labor?

And Hannan sniil, “Is I, for his w ile's sake I w ill spare him!” And the B. 11 jaminites did forthwith evacuate, mid the sons of Judah hi id the ground, and the staple which the Ethiopian hail brought from afar oil' in tin- country with liis ox. lint while the war was waging the ox took fright an 1 did run away, and the Ethiopian which was possessed of a faltering speech, perplexed and amazed, exclaimed with his clamoring tongue: “Whoa.

Ilis corruptions are too well known and re membered for honest men of the South to support him. We have a parly now that has tho elements of right, purity nnd strenght, let us hold fast to that and liai inouiimsly war against its enemies, the chief of which are new departures. PERSECUTION. When will the persecution of Christians cease? Have not men a liglst to worship 1 noeoreling to their own forms and the die i tates of their ow n consciences? To rend the Scriptures and form their own opin ions, without being assailed and denoueed as intidelsnnd unbelievers? They certainly have a natural, moral aid legal right, blit -traiigei to say Ch.iitinns are still the sill - jects of por.-eeution aud of misrepresenta- Sbm not only bytlie world, but by profeisod Ch.is ia s. ll< nest differn os of opin ! ions have always existed, do now exist and ; all ays will exist until human mind , an* ; changed nud tr lined to tin in one single ! channel. Then why is it that professed j Clui ban who arc horn at in tin ir fa !',Vnn ; not concede to others the sun e honesty of ; purpose and sincerity of faith they claim lor themselves. We have no disposition | to doubt the sincerity of a man's faiUntW he pronehes-ov professes;, but we cannot ! smother the doubt that wells up in nur I mind as to tho fervency of- n airs ’!•*;■ ji, will! ts ami nnclmi itablo u* to dot.bl the sincerity of others whoso eoudii. t in consistent with bis confession | of faith. This want of charity to nu inch v id led may la the sequence of his own acts, and liis finite by which lie may I ■ judged justifiably; but when it is ex ercised towards a whole church orgni i cation, u large respectable denomina tion ef. Glimtinus, wo can find for it iir tl.o Bible, no excuse milch less a justification!- When praetieed by individuals it is certainly an ' evil of sufficient magnitude, tint hoxv-mneh I greater wheni immense eonibinntious of : professed Christians we waring against each otlror amt trying to weaken each others iutlueuoo for good. These persi - ; cutions and misrepresi ututions' are stumb ling blocks in the way of sinners and a ) great hindrance to the progress of the Christine religion. <Uie reason '.o think is that the doctrines mil tenets, of the : various churches are not fully understood liv each other, nud-this we think-is attribu table to our ooutraoted • views and sec tarian inclinations,. which prevents us from hearing the doctrines-of tlie various | churches expounded. We claim to be an ; humble motidier of one of ihe Christian denominations, lint don’t elaim to be the 1 champion of that church. It has its ! thousands if bdeiited ailvocates, and | while we think we are right, we are not so J bigoted ns to believe others are wrong or insincere, aud we could not consistently sustain our ministers in uncalled for at tacks upon other denominations, and when we hear a minister, whether in: he a Methodist, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, or any other denomination, misrepresenting the teachings of it minister ot (mother church, we take it for grnuti and (hat lie is move envious than pin m. It has been charged by ministers, that the Christian I Clunsdi did not tenchdho doctrine of the | Divinity of Christ. W. had thn phastiro jimStibb ith last of in uring tlie llev.

For 11 denomination of religions people, calling t beta selves tin’ Christian Churchml denying the Divinity of Christ, would he u theological sohaasm. Reckless, indeed, must be the professor id of religion who will tints ignorantly, or willfully misrepresent tlmt Church, when it is alono upon a confession of faith in tho Divinity of Christ that applicants are ad mitted into elm eh membership. We have a nigh respect for every denoniitia lion of Christians auila religions contempt for misrepresentations. N > action lias been taken by the Presi dent iu relation to the Arkuifsas (roubles.

We have no objection to kindness sliowrtdo the black man; indeed, we are glad to see it. w hen prompted by motives of honesty auil purity, hut when a social equality system is practiced to such no extent as to make them guests at private houses for tlie pur pose of getting their ln.rd enrnings for lesa-than its value, we join heart and hand with all honest men, merchants and farmers in denouncing it ns infamous, and we fearlessly assert that any man, w hether Jew or Gentile, who will thus actis utiwoithy the respect ami soutideuce of all <>th, r merchants, aud ought not to be patronised liv any community, and the man tliut will do it must tie shameless and degraded, and tlie man t hat will, after knowing these things, have lmsinessoreocial intercourse with him must degrade himself to the level of the man who thus acts.
