If the God Of the universe de sired to ? create, or arrange, for us a per fect hell of Wretchedness, lie might build a city of the character and dimensions described by the revelator in the 21st chapter of Revelations; people it with the nations of them that are saved, as the city is described to be; adding thereto any and evety 'attribute or .incident of beauty and attraction dhat his infinite wisdom could devise, or his infinite re sources command; then place us in the veiy midst of alb this beauty and at tractiveness, surrounded by all our. loved ones, excepting one only; and then, in full view of this, rendezvous of earth’s glorified millions, reveal the bottomless pit of perdition, ak-it h§s been often de scribed, peopled with ltf countless host of the doomed and damned, who, as we have .been told, are to render the dark caverns of that gloomy prison house forever hid eous with their shrieks df agony, and their cries for mercy; ana amid that wretched throng of sufferers lei us recog nize the* formj ^bnstiwBllWW^ $£& • specified; arid the physical tortures of the inquisition would assume the charac ter of bliss compared to the hell that would be by this spectacle enthroned iu our breast.

A correspondent of the Intelligencer relates the following story of an eccentric minister, John Gray : “ Once he was im portuned by one of his most hospitable parishioners to remain for dinner, ‘ though.’ said the good woman, ‘I havo nothing fit to give you ; the dinner will be light.’ Seated after a little at the table, he was requested to give thanks. The board was loaded with the most inviting dishes. ‘All, madam,’ said the pastor, ‘ you told me the dinner would be nothing much : why ask me to give thanks ?’ It brings to mind an anecdote related of one of the early ministers of our Church of a nearly similar character. He was preaching in South Carolina and staying with a lady who was famous for making good biscuit, but also for say ing to every guest that they were not fit to eat. This time as they sat down to the table she began to say she was deep ly disappointed, for it had been her wish they migh t be.’ This was not what was Red Hill, Sampson Co., N. 0., first looked for, and flashing up in exteYnpor- j § nn( j av j n j u | v aneons disgust, tb e-host ess repliedWell they are good enough for yon anyhow.’ The moral of both s ories is that it is jMars better to tell the truth than to look for thanks aii*4,compliuients with a falsehood as the medium of their communication.” These stories retrifud us ot one we heard several years stride : A minister chan cing to call upon one of the sisters of his flock about tea-time, was invited to the table. The gotfd woman had scarce ly got seated before she commenced ma king apologies for The food. After the parson had partaken of nearly every thing upon the table, all of which she declared “ very ,pqor ”ancl “ positively not fit to eat,” she passed him the pie, raying, “ Now, parson; will you try and eat a piece of tnygpoor pie?” Evidently disgusted with so many sham apologias, he replied, “No,!thank yon, ma’am; 1 never eat poor pif|!” Exchange. —Wherec^a^re#ee ?
