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.’ ‘lndeed, Mr. Capers,’ said Mrs. Ex-Govern or , your labors are arduous, and under the. cir CHmsteenr.es ice cannot think of 9, shiny you to come here again.’ There,’’ ■aid the Bishop, “behold the difference be>- tween the reception given to Dr. Wight man’s sermon and mine’’ In this little incident we see one of the prominent characteristics of this great and good man. He seemed to delight in morti fying self Well born, well educated, ac customed to the best society, with unsur passed grace and elegance of manner, court ed aud flattered by the great, almost idolized by the people, he nevertheless, sought on all occasions to humble himself and magnify the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Itinerant. 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 ?

SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE CPbrttt. Adapted from the German for The Methodist. 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.
