Madam, said I, ‘I am perfectly willing to
preach to you there if you desire it, but I
must also preach here. These poor fisher
men would not, or could not, attend at your
place. They would not feel at home, and
be free and easy there.’ An appointment
was made for me at the settlement also, and
when the day came around I put on my
long homespun vest and coat and shirt and
pantaloons and broad brimmed hat.’’
“But Bishop,’’ I interposed, “why did
you do that ?”
“Not because I hadn’t a better suit,’’ said
he, “but for a purpose. I was a Methodist
the Methodists of that day were a plain peo
ple—and on that occasion especially I was
determined to identify myself with them. I
reached the settlement; was met at the door
by Mrs. Governor , who introduced
me to the other notabilities present, and
pointed out to me a little table, bible, and
hymn-book, in the other corner of the room.
I went through the introductory services,
aud then announced my text, ‘Though we
or an angel from heaven preach to you any
other gospel,’ etc., etc. The services being
over, Mrs. Ex-Governor , advanced
and said, ‘ls it so, Mr. Capers, that you have
to preach three times on the Sabbath?’—
‘Yes, Madam.’ ‘And that you hare to
preach weekly in addition to this, on the
Sound, to the fishermen ?’ ‘Yes, Madam.’

In this little incident we see one of the
prominent characteristics of this great and
good man. He seemed to delight in morti

customed to the best society, with unsur

THE DESPISED PROVIDENCE.
A MAN WHO STOOD WELL IN THE CITY.
Some years ago I arrived in town by the
night mails, aud had occasion to call at an
early hour upon a manufacturer whose house
ol business was in the city. Early as was
the hour, the clerks were assembled, and
my friend already at his post. One of the
clerks informed me that my friend would be
occupied for a short time, and then he would
be happy to speak to me. In about ten
minutes a fine looking man passed, and my
friend joined me. After some kind in
quiries about rural people and rural affairs,
he asked me if I had observed the gentleman
who had recently passed out of the ware
house.
“ Yes,’’ was my reply, “and as I mark
character, I thought I perceived a cer
tain self confident bearing, as if he were up
on excellent terms with him-elf.’’
“You are right, that is just his character;
still he is a very shrewd, clever man of bu
siness, and a remarkably successful man. I
had a very singular conversation with that
gentleman this morning, and I think he
ha ally approves of my sentiments.”
“May i ask to what the conversation re
ferred ? I presume it was no private
matter.”
“Oh no, it was as much in your line as in
mine
“Indeed, in what way ?”
“He told me that by a certain specula
tion, the result of which he had learned by
to-day’s post, he made, this morning 8,000?.
I remarked to him, ‘You ought to be very
grateful to Providence for your good fortune.’
‘Providence,’ said the man, ‘Providence!
pooh !—that for Providence,’ snapping his
fingers, ‘I would not give that for it,’ snap
ping his fingers again, ‘I should be very
sorry if l could do no better for myself than
Providence can do for me.’ I could produce
no impression upon him by any remark of
mine; and he has left me, exulting in his
success.”
“Are you sure,” I asked, “that you have
not misunderstood him
“Quite sure, sure of the very words.”
“Well, then now mark the words that I
am going to say to you —you marked his
words, mark mine—have no dealings with
that man.”
“He is a large purchaser —buys very
largely.” ,
“Never mind,” I said again, “have nodeal
ings with him ’’
“Why! my dear sir, you have no idea
who he is ; that’s Mr. , a man who
stands well in the city, he is worth at least
80,00(P. this moment, and says he expects
one day to be worth a million ; his concerns
are so prosperous.’’
“I still repeat what I have said, in spite
of all his riches. My advice is, shun him,
and I will give you my reason We all of
fend God, yet he in his patience endures
our contradictions and bears with our follies;
but if men go out of their way to insult God,
God also appears sometimes to depart from
Ills ordinary course of proceedings, to go out
of his way to punish them, and thus vindi
cates his own honor.”
My friend smiled at my zeal, and we
parted. About ten months after this dia
logue, I was walking through a country
town, far away from city men, and all
thought of city matters, when the Mayor of
the town accosted me, saying, that he had
that morning received a letter from- his rel
ative, my city friend, adding, “And al
though the letter is written to me, in reality
it ought to have been addressed to you, for
I am”desired to ask if you cao call to mind
a conversation which you had with my rel
ative in his warehouse in town, at the be
ginning of last winter
“I remember it as well as if it were but
yesterday.”
“Then you will easily understand the
message he sends you, for he says in his let
ter, ‘lf you meet your pastor, tell him, al
though I smiled at his zeal, and made no
promise of compliance, when he urged me to
shun all dea ings with this rejecter of Prov
idence, still his earnestness made a strong
impression upon me. A few days after,
when Mr. , came as usual to make
his purchases, I took him aside and said,
‘Mr. , if you and I are to have any
dealings, it must be for cash.’ ‘Cash !’ he
exclaimed, ‘what do you mean ? Is there
any man in the city of London who doubts
my credit?' ‘I am not disposed,’ I replied,
‘to argue the point with you; but that is
my determination. I shall be happy to do
business with you, but upon no other terms.’
He darted from my counting house in great
wra.h, and immediately applied to some es
my neighbors, who, not having the same
objection, were glad to receive his orders,
and to a large amount. Affairs for a time
continued to prosper, and he continued in
creasing his orders; but now all is over,
and he has, as they say, come to grief. He
made a heavy venture in goods to the East,
and by some unlooked-for circumstance, he
has suffered frightfully, and failed for enor
mous amounts; and while my neighbors have
lost by this man to the extent of many
thousand pounds, I have not lost one shil
ling. Tell our friend that I owe my escape
to him, or rather, as he would say, to Provs
idence, through him.’”
I understood a year or two later, that
this scoffing man’s affairs had turned cut
worse than was expected, and that by his
conduct, he had so offended those with
whom he had had business transactions, that
he was left without friends to aid him ; and
he who expected to become a millionaire,
was compelled from poverty to accept a very
subordinate situation, and he had gone to
spend his days in a far distant and unhealthy
climate.
No one will suppose this true incident to
convey the idea that virtue and piety must
always be successful, while vice and ungodli
ness meet with retribution. If you look at
passing events you will see so many bad ac
tions that remain unpunished, as to prove
that there must be a future day when these
wrongs will be adjusted. At the same time
you see also so many bad men punished and
good men rewarded, as to prove that, there
is a Providence watching over the affairs of
men, eveu in this worl L
The Heavenly Secret
Mr. George Cooper sends this stately and
sustained poem of the grave theme of immor
tality :
Does the dark and soundless river
Stretch so wide—
The home-ward rolling tide
Over which have crossed
Our loved and early lost,
That, their unsealed eyes may never see
The further side,
Where still amid this toil and misery
We bide ?
Is the realm of their transition
Close at hand,
To this, our living land ?
Nearer than we dream ?
Can they catch the gleam
Os our smiles, and hear the words we speak ?
And see our deeds?
And, looking deeper than our eyes may seek,
Our deeds ?
Do they mingle in our gladness?
Do they grieve
When ways of good we leave ?
Do they know each thought and hope,
While we in shadows grope?
Can they hear the Future’s high behest,
Yet lack the power
To lead us from our ill, or to arrest
The hour ?
When they find us bowed in sorrow,
Do they sigh ?
Or when the earth passes by
For them, do they forget
The cares that here beset
Their well beloved ? Or do they wait
(O be it t hus !)
And watch beside tlie golden gate
For us ?
We are yearning for their secret:
Though we call,
No answers ever fall
Upon our dulled ears.
To quell our nameless fears.
Yet Gob is over all, whate’er may be,
And irusting so,
Patience, my heart! a little while, and we
Shall know.

Mr. Editor: —I used to a have a “ little

Ileukle sat in your chair editorial. No mat
ter who I am : dear old Brother Maddin—
white-haired when I was a child—was my
first spiritual father —Dr. Green (God bless
him !) baptized me—l was raised (L like the
old word) with preachers for my fathers, my
brothers, and my friends; and last, but not
least, he, by whose side I walk, as Eve
walked with Adam, is one of the Lord’s
anointed. I feel that all ministers are my
kindred, and I am theirs, and that ice are
all God's.
If you’ll allow me, I want to call the at
tention ot mothers, through your estimable

they or their little ones may one day thank
me. It is simply this : lam gleaning from
our Ad vocates and the Watchman, articles for
a Scrap book, to begotten up and completed
by my own hand, as a legacy for my children,
when I, their mother, may be lying in the
chui ch-yaid. Woo t our Southern matrons
do likewise, and thus save imperishable val
uable articles,■ that appreciative daughters
and noble-hearted boys will prize the°more,
as the labor, the taste, and the pleasure of
the mother, in thus bequeathing them this
little memento? It may seem a small mat

the side table, or snug in the library?

A NEW ROBINSON CRUSOE.
In the midst of the Indian ocean there is
a little island called Providence. It was call
ed by that name by a ship’s crew who were
saved thereafter their vessel had been struck
by lightning. It lies in the channel of
Mozambique, and if any of my little readers
have a map at hand, I hope they will search
it out; for then I think they will be more
interested in what I am now about to relate.
You will find it not a great many days’ sail
from the island of Bourbon.
In the year 1820, the captain of a mer
chant vessel made arrangements to sail from
Bourbon to Providence, in order to get a
load of the scions of cocoa trees, which grow
there to an unusual size. At that time the
building and sailing of vessels at Bourbon
was by no means well understood. Little
sailing boats did nearly all the business
which was done, for they could go up over
the reefs that surrounded the island, while
the large vessels could not do so. The only
anchor which was used was a box filled with
stone, and instead of having a large chain
to hoist it and lower it, the anchor was held
only by a rope made of the bark of trees.
Captain Cremasy had a favorable voyage
from Bourbon to Providence. He sailed
close up to a reef, and cast anchor. Taking
one of the little boats connected with his
vessel, he proceeded to the shore, and then
sent the boat back again by the two sailors
who had rowed him ashore. While he was
walking about on the little island, and ad
miring the magnificent cocoa-nut trees, the
rope that held the anchor broke, and the
wind, which was blowing very heavily at
the time, drifted the vessel off. In vain
did the sailors try to control the ship and
get it back again against the wind and tide,
for their efforts were of' no avail whatever.
Night came on, and the captain lost sight of
his ves-sel. He had nothing ou except his
light clothing, neither did he have any
weapons of defence except a short pistol.
The next day there was no sign of his ves
sel, and on the evening of that day he came
to the conclusion that he was now upon a
desert island, and that ho must make the
best use of his solitude that he could. By
the aid of stones and fallen leaves he built
himself a little cottage, and by opening a
number of cocoa nuts, and drinking the
milk, and eating the fruit, his hunger was
satisfied. But he knew he could not live all
the time on coacoa nuts. He accordingly
went to the centre of the island to see if he
could not meet with some other kind of food.
He discovered during that walk some
wild cucumbers and wild beans and peas ;
all of which he thought himself very for
tunate in finding. The birds were very nu
merous and quite tame. By one shot of his
pistol he killed two pigeons.
It now occurred to him that people used
to make fire by rubbing wood together. He
made the same effort, but on the first day
he did not succeed. Another morning came,
and he went down to the shore as soon as it
was light to see if there was any trace of
his vessel. But he saw nothing save sea
and sky. He made a second effort to kindle
fire, and this time he succeeded. He brought
cocoa nut shells together, and had the great
satisfaction to see them all in a blaze.—
That evening he was very tired because of
his labor and anxiety, and he lay down to
rest. He heard a rustling near by him in
the leaves. Was it a poisonous serpent ?
He opened his eyes, and with a trembling
heart he looked at the great broad animal
that was crawling up towards him. Crema
sy seized his pistol and made himself ready
to kill any thing that might oppose him.
He eoon saw that he had to deal with a large
turtle, which had come to the shore to lay
its eggs in the sand, where the water of the
sea could not reach them. These animals
always choose those places for laying their
eggs where the beams of the hot sun can
shine upon them all day They then make
a hole in the sand, lav their eggs in it, cover
them over with sand, and by a wonderful
instinct of nature, return again after the
lapse of fifty days to take away the sand.
After they have done this the little turtles
creep out and follow their mother down to
the seashore. So soon as she goes into the
water they climb up on top of her back, and
learn from her how to enjoy their new life
in the sea.
So soon as Captain Cremasy knew what
kind of an animal it was, he went to it and
turned it over on its back. Os course it
could not get away. The next morning he
killed it, and the meat lasted him several
days. He kept the fat in cocoa-nut shells,
and with it he was able to make a good light
at night. I suspect that there have been
worse lamps in the world than Captain
Cremasy’s cocoa-nut shells filled with turtle
fat. In order to salt the turtle flesh he had
to get some sea water and sprinkle over it.
After having eaten lus turtle, he saw that
the large shell was a splendid dish for fu
ture use. He found it difficult to get fresh
water to drink, but by seeking a place where
a little spring bubbled up from the ground,
and by digging deeper down, he made for
himself quite a good well of water. The
onlv enemies that he had to contend with
were rats, and at night he was always com
pelled to take great care against their at.
tacks. OVemasy’s clothing became thread
bare, and scarcely covered his body any |
longer. How tosuppL is pi.ice was a grave
question with him, but lie had managed to
weave with his fingers a kind of cloth out
of the thinnest inside bark of the cocoa
nut tree. In due time he was clad from
head to foot with a cocoa-nut suit.
He naturally had a very strong desire to
get relieved from his solitude. From early
in the morning until late in the evening, on
some days, he would lie on a rock and look
out over the broad sea. Had his vessel
struck a rock and gone to pieces, or had it
sailed back again to Bourbon, and the peo
ple there know any thing of his fate ? But
he was a Christian man, and he felt that
God would provide away for his deliverance.
He determined to raise a signal which might
be seen far and wide over the sea. It was a
signal of a very different kind from that
usually employed. It was a ball of cocoa
nut bark, saturated in oil. He took it up to
the top of a tree, and resolved that just as
soon as he could see a sail he would set it
on fire; of course the sailors could see it
from a great distance. But day after day
passed on without deliverance.
Cremasy began to conclude that his fate
was hopeless. One day, as he sat buried in
thought, anew hope arose in his mind. On
the way to the shore he collected a few mus
sels for his supper. Suddenly he saw aves
sel far off in the horizon. But was it not
an illusion ?—for he had several times been
deceived before. Previously the clouds had
formed into such shapes that he thought
they were vessels, but after giving them a
little time they would disappear and be lost
forever. But this time Cremasy noticed
that the clouds changed, while the object
that he saw with his keen eye always re
mained the same. His heart now beat with
hope. Ye c it was a ship, and it came near
er and nearer. He went to the top of the
tree where his signal was lodged between
the two topmost branches, around which all
the leaves were cut off, and he set fire to it.
Immediately a high pyramid of flame arose.
It was perfectly dazzling, and a great deal
larger and more beautiful than Cremasy had
any idea of before. Three minutes elapsed,
and it was answered by a cannon shot from
the vessel. The signal H%d been seen and
understood. Cremasy stayed there hour
after hour until midnight came; (hen he
heard the sound of a vessel near to the out
er reef. He then called aloud with his
strong voice, and his cry of joy was answer
ed by shouts from the sailors on the deck
of the vessel. They spoke his own language.
They were the sailors on his own ship, that
had been driven far away by storms to the
island of Anjouan, not far from Majotte,
and they had now returned to deliver their
captain.
The new Robinson Crusoe wrote the story
of his solitude of months, and stuck the
paper in a bottle and hung it on a tree in
the neighborhood of the shore. It wa3
found there about a year afterwards by a
French sailor, and it was taken to France and
published. You can imagine what an ex
citement it made, especially among the little
folks.
