The Loved and Lost.
The following poem.. fr< m the Church of England
Magazine, .will come like a “song in the night” to
many a stricken heart:
* The loved and lost!” why do we call them lost ?
Because we miss them from our onward road!
Go i’h unseen angel o’er our pathway crossed,
Looked on u- a I and loving them the most.
Straightway relieved them from life’s weary load.
They are not lost; they are within the door
That shuts out loss and every hurtful thing—
With angel bright, ami loved ones gone beiore,
In ih*-ir Redeemers presence evermore.
And God himaelf their Lord, and Judge, and King.
And thi-t we call a loss ! O selfish sorrow
Os ne fish hearts! Oweof 1 1 * tie faith!
Let u-* look round, some arguments to borrow,
Why we in patience should wait the morrow,
That surelv must nuceeed this night of death.
Ave, look upon the dreary desert path,
The t-iornn and thist es, whereso’er we turn ;
What tr als and what tears, what wrongs and wrath,
Wnat Bfugglea and what strife the journey hath!
They hav; escaped from these; and 10l we mourn.
Ask the poor sailor, when the wreck is done,
Who with his treasure strove the shore to reach,
Wr ile with the raging waves he battled on,
Was it not joy. where every j ov seemed gone.
To see his loved ones landed on the beach ?
A poor wayfirer, leading by the hand
A little child, had halted by the well
To wash from off her fret the clinging sand,
And tell the tired boy of that bright land
W here, this long j jurney past, they longed to dwell
When la 1 the Lord, who many mansions had,
D'ew near and looked upon the suffering twain,
Then pty ngspak 1 , “Give me the little lad;
In strength renewed, and glorious beauty clad,
I’ll bring him with me when I come again.”
Did she main answer selfishly or wrong—
‘ Nay, but th i woes 1 fsel he too must share 1”
Or rather, bursting into grateful song,
She went her way rejoicing, and made strong
To s-truggle on, since he was freed from care.
We will do likewise. Death hath made no breach,
In love and sympathy, in hope and trust;
N > outward sigh or sound our ear 4 can reach,
But there’s an inwar ]. spiritual-speech
That greets us still though mortal tongues be dust.
It bids na do they lay down—
Take up where they broke off the strain ;
So we reach the heavenly town,
laid our treasures an t our crown,
And our lost loved ones will be found again.

The Women in Council :
ASHAMED OF THEIR SEX : REBELLION
AGAINST NATURE : SNEER AT THE PUL
VIT : NO LAWS FOR WOMEN TO HE MADE
BY MAN.
The women agitating for the right of
voting have been in conclave the last week
in this city. Mrs. Stanton presided, and
all the chief spirits of the woman’s rights
movement were on the platform. The usual
argument, if argument it may be called, in
favor of giving the ballot to women was
urged. The sessions were stormy, as the
inevitable negro question was crowded in,
and destroyed the harmony of the proceed
ings We spent three or four hours in at
tendance, and will speak only of what we
heard and saw, and this will give a pretty
lair picture of the scene.
Mrs Kirke was pleading in behalf of
woman’s right to be paid for her work, and
she said that until to day she had always
been ashamed that she was a woman. A
lady in the audience asked if she was
ashamed of her mother.
This cor fused Mrs. Kirke, but Mrs. Rose
came up to her and whispered in her ear,
and she said : “Mrs. Rose tells me to say
it was no fault of my mother that I was
born a girl.”
When Mrs. Kirke subsided, Mr. Bur
leigh, who parts his hair in the middle and
wears curls, arose to present some resolu
tions favoring the XVth Amendment to the
U. S. Constitution, which gives the ballot
to all male citizens without distinction of
race or color. On this the women are di
vided : some, with Mrs. Stanton, Susan
Anthony and others, insisting that this
amendment ought not to pass unless “sex’’
is added; that women ought to vote as soon
as negroes; while other women contend
that negroes have rights that ought to be
secured to them, whether women get theirs
at the same time or not.
Mrs. Paulina W. Davis said she had been
residing lately in Florida, and she had seen
enough to convince her that the negro men
ought not to vote until the black women
could vote also; the slaves emancipated are
the worse tyrants in the world; they beat
their wives shockingly ; my own sister has
a man and wife for servants, and the man
beats his wilc-regularly every Sunday night.
Mrs. Davis said she attended the ohurch
where the llov. Mr. Bardwell preached, and
just before an election, he preached on its
great importance and the necessity of car
rying it tor their side, and he said we will
oarry it, if we have to put| the women into
men’s clothes and have them vote. She
stopped after service and told Bro. Bardwell
that she did not approve of such an illegal
proceeding as he had proposed, but he re
plied that it was so important to carry the
eleotion that he thought it right to disguise
the women as men, and get their votes.
Fred. Douglas spoke in favor of the
resolution, and asked if negroes, who have
been in bondage 250 years, are such tyrants
when set tree, what will the women be, who
have been under the foot ever since the
snake talked to Eve in the garden ?
This brought Susan Anthony to her feet,
and with violent gesticulation, she berated
Douglas, but he laughed and said : “That’s
just like a woman ; she never can wait till
a man gets through. Don’t be in a passion,
Susan ; I’m on your side ! I don’t believe
what Mrs. Davis says about the negro men,
and I don’t bolieve the women will be ty
rants either/’ He then made an eloquent
speeoh in favor of giving to all their rights
as soon as possible, and taking what you
can get when you can.
Mrs. Harper, a light colored woman,
made a pathetic appeal for her race, and
said the question of color was far more to
her than the question of sex.
Mr. Burleigh tried to speak, but the aud
ience wanted to hear women or men—they
didn’t care which; but this person, with
hair parted ia the middle and hanging in
curls on the shoulders, and a long be'ard,
seemed t< man nor woman, and
they would not near him.
Susan Anthony begged that they might
be spared the disgrace of hissing down a
man ! This restored quiet a moment, but
when Burleigh began again, a big man
mounted a bench behind him, and made
gestures to ridicule him, and this set the
audience into a roar. Blackwell moved the
previous question. Susan protested against
the gag law. Mrs. President Stanton wished
the question deferred till another session.
All in favor of deferring it, say Aye!
Many said Aye. All opposed, say No! A
thunder of Noes went up. The Ayes have
it! cried the Chair, amid roars of laughter
at the manifest disregard of the fact that
the motion was lost. The meeting dissolved.
In the evening the Convention met in
Cooper Institute. The great hall was nearly
full—2s cents admission. Two foreign
women spoke, one in German, one in French.
A Universal League of Women to demand
their rights, and get them, was recom
mended.
Mrs. Rose made a speech in ridicule of
the U. S. Congress, that went for “man and
a brother, but had no heart to do anything
for woman and a sister. The politicians
had found out a negro is a man and a broth
er; a Chinaman is a man and a brother; a
Hottentot is a man and a brother; and they
will find out next that a lunatio, and an
idiot, and a criminal is a man and a broth
er ; and even a minor, a baby, is a man and
a brother, only it must be a male baby.
But they are very slow in finding that wo
men are sisters, and have rights. She would
demand for women that every path of hon
orable work in life should be as free to wo
men as to men—the bench, the bar, the
pulpit—though she hoped women would find
something better to do than go to preaching.
This sneer betrayed Mrs. Rose’s well
known principles, and was hissed by the
audience. j
The President took occasion, by and by,
to refer to Mrs. Rose’s sneer, and raid that
wnile such ministers as Henry Ward Beech
(T, Mr. Frothingham and Dr. Chapin, sup
port their cause, it was out of place to sneer
at the pulpit.
We listened to six or eight speeches from
these women, some of them very smart.
Mrs. Livermore, of Chicago, Mrs. Harper,
Mrs. Rose and Mrs. Stanton, are women of
strong intellectual powers, and able to pre
sent the best argument for their cause But
we heard nothing indicating any idea of the
philosophy, the physiology, the history, or
the theology of the question. The wrongs
they complained of were totally imaginary,
or such as are not the result of any injus
tice of man toward woman ; the remedy
they propose is totally inadequate and illu
sory ; and they ignore, or evade, the|distinc
tion of sex, which naturally regulates the
employments of mankind; and, if the teach
ings of reason were not clearly pronounced
on this head, the teachings of the Bible are
explicit, and in perfect harmony with the
instincts of all right men and women. All
these things are shunne l by the advocates
of woman suffrage. They do not agree to
the arrangements of nature. That’s where
Paul and I differ, they say, when it comes
to what the Bible says. And Mrs. Stanton
summed up the whole story, when she closed
a speech by saying: “I will never be satis
fied while laws are made for me by any type
of man."
It is simply a rebellion against man, and
nature, and Gad. We do not say it will
fail, for God does permit much worse evils
in this world than making laws by Susan
Anthony, and Lucy Stone, and Olive Lo
gan, with the aid of Mr., or Mrs. Burleigh,
whose brains have largely run to hair. The
movement has the sympathy of some ortho
dox Christians, and nearly all that are not.
It unites all who have revolted from the Bi
ble as a rule of laith and practice ; and in
this day these classes are very numerous
and strong. We are, therefore, not pre
pared to say that the rebellion will fail. But
we know that it is a movement to unsex
woman ; to despoil her of her throne in the
social world; to degrade her in the eyes of
man ; to give votes to all the bold and all
the bad women of the town, while virtuous
women by thousands abhor tho proposition
to wallow in the mire 'of politics; and so,
by taking one more downward step in the
march of universal suffrage, to weaken the
weakest part of our Republican form of
government.
el Use of the Voice in the Pulpit.
Voice power is one to be cultivated. It
is an essential power of the highest order
of eloquence, and a great means of useful
ness in the pulpit. Even comparatively
weak voices may bo so cultivated and used
as to boos wonderful effect. The effect of
a singing master’s lessons on a vocalist, in
bringing out tones and compass of the voioe,
show what may be done by the preacher in
the cultivation of the same art. It must
be a natural voice which is used, for no
brawling will be half so audible as a man’s
own key-note. He must address himself to
someone at the farthest end es the space
he preaches in, and throw his voice out
from him into the circumference of the
building. The chief effort used, and the
chief watchfulness required, is to sustain
the ends of the sentences; where it would
bo natural, in conversation, to drop the
voice slightly. Otherwise a man cannot be
too natural, or speak too nearly as he would
in conversation. The voice must be rested
by speaking in different notes within the
compass of the preacher’s natural scale.
By changing the keys, he will rest one
while using another, and so avoid fatigue.
As nothing is so wearisome to the audi
ence, so nothing is so fatiguing to the
preacher, as that monotony which “flows
muddily along.” A medical man gives his
account of the cause of clerical sore throats.
He says they proceed from men stooping
in reading, so that the throat does the work
of the chest and lungs, which cannot act as
they would if the posture was upright with
the shoulders well open.
Then, again, in the composition of a ser
mon, how much may be done to help de
livery and save the voioe ? If any one
doubt this, let him take a sermon of long
involved sentences, where there is no stop
for ten lines, and another of short ones, and
try the difference. Pauses there must be;
and some preachers have great art in so
making the stopping places on the road as
to call attention to the finest views hile
they must pause somewhere, they select such
opportunities for resting as leavo the result
of a section of the discourse to linger in
the minds of the hearers. This should al
ways be done where there is a break in the
argument, and if possible driven home with
some terse aphorism or proverb, containing
the sense of what has gone before, so as to
leave the substance of each section of the
sermon in some tangible and portable shape
on the memory of the audienee. After
some nail has been driven home and clinch
ed, let the hammer pauso awhile and listen
for the responsive echo in the soul of tho
hearer.
Oddities of tho English Language.
The English language is one of the
strangest of spoken tongues. Asa speci
men of its oddness of pronunciation—for it
is the most difficult in the world to correct
ly pronounoe—take the termination ough,
and see the variety of its sound in the
words—enough, plough, through, cough,
rough, dough, etc. Though each of these
words terminates in a manner precisely
similar, yet the pronunciation of no two of
them is alike; and similar instances could
easily be multiplied.
The shades of difference between words
which at a first glance would appear to be
synonymous, are very remarkable, and to a
foreigner must seem wholly incomprehen
sible. The following is an apt illustration
of this remark, and is, at the same time, a
very ingenious collocation of words.
A Frenchman, while looking at a number
of vessels, exclaimed, “See what a flock of
ships !” He was told that a flock of ships
was called a fleet, but that a fleet of sheep
was called a flock. To assist him in mas
tering the intricacies of the English lan
guage, he was told that a flock of girls was
called a bevy, that a bevy of wolves is call
ed a pack, but that a pack of cards is never
called a bevy, though a pack of thieves is
called a gang, and a gang of angels is called
a host, while a host of propoises is termed
a shoal. He was told that a host of oxen
is termed a herd, and a herd of children is
called a troop, and troop of partridges is
termed a covey, and a covey of beauties is
called a galaxy, and a galaxy of ruffians is
called a horde, and a horde of rubbish is call
ed a heap, and a heap of bullocks is called
a drove, and a drove of blackguards is call
ed a mob, and a mob of whales is called a
school, and a school of worship is called a
congregation, and congregation of engineers
is called a corps, and a corps of robbers is
called a band, and a band of locusts is call
ed a crowd, and a crowd of gentlefolks is
called the elite. The last word being
Frenoh, the scholar understood it and asked
no more.
Anecdote op Lamartine.— During the
provisional government, of 1848, Lamar
tine, being at the Hotel de Ville, received
the announcement that a deputation ofVesu
viennes demanded an interview. The
doors were thrown open, and the apartment
was presently filled by fierce looking dames,
whose disheveled locks and uncouth garb
presented anything but an attractive spec
tacle. M. de Lamartine bowed and begged
to know if he oould be of any service to his
visitors. “Citizen,” replied the foremost
among them standing with arms akimbo in
front of her comrades, “The Yesuviennes
have resolved to send you a deputation to
express their admiration of your conduct.
There are fifty of us, and in the name of all
the Vesuviennes, we, fifty in number, have
come to kiss you.” The poet gave one
glance at the forest of unkempt hair and
the rubicund cheeks of the fifty unwashed
Venuses, and thus replied : “Citoyonn.es,
I thank you for the sentiments you in
spire me with; hut allow me to remark,
that patriots of your stamp are more than
women—they are jud. Men do not em
brace each other, we shake hands.” Thus
by a stroke of the most subtle flattery did
the author of “Meditations’’ escape the fifty
kisses of the Megaeras of the revolution
of ’4B.
Mental Drunkenness. —The great in
tellectual curse of tho age i3 light litera
ture. The easy, rapid manner with which
this class of reading can be pursued and de
voured, almost inevitably produces two in
tellectual results. It creates a disrelish for
higher and more solid reading. The de
vourcr of tales finds himself unable to love
intellectual work Rut worse than this, the
mental powers sre so enfeebled by this kind
of reading that om is really unable to grasp
solid thought, ddis mind is too feeble to
carry it. We would not write uncharita
bly, yet it is our sincere conviction, after
observing churches in both city and coun
try, that it is much the smaller portion of
almost any congregation who are so intel
lectually able to follow a speaker in a close
connected train of reasoning, as to have the
subject at their command at its close.—
Doubtless many ministers are ready to com
plain of their hearers, that so few seem dis
posed to follow him through what is really
an important train of thought; but the fact
is that there are comparatively few of their
hearers mentally able to follow them. The
light reading to which many have accus
tomed themselves, has so enfeebled their
intellect that they can no more lift the men
tal burden offered them, than a child can
lift a ton’s weight. It is perhaps not too
much to say that the power of this class of
readers to grasp thought, is really less than
though they had never learned to read. Is
it not generally true that in almost any
congregation there may be found unlettered
persons whose intellectual power to follow
a speaker, exceeds that of almost any one
in the congregation who is a devourer of
light reading; and this is not because of
superior native gifts, but rather because the
one has weakened his mind by intellectual
drunkenness, whilst the other has not?
Wear a Smile. —Which will you do,
smile and make others happy, or be crabbed
and make everybody around you miserable ?
You can live among beautiful flowers and
singing birds, or in the mire surrounded by
fogs and frogs. The amount of happiness
you can produce is incalculable, if you will
show a smiling face, a kind heart, and
speak pleasant words. On the other hand,
by sour looks, cross words, and a fretful dis
position, you can make scores and hundreds
wretched almost beyond endurance Which
will you do ? Wear a pleasant countenance,
let joy beam in your eye and love glow on
your forehead. There is no joy so great as
that which springs from a kind act or a
pleasant deed, and you may feel it at night
when you rest, and in the morning when
you rise, and through the day when about
your daily bussiness.

The Diamond Ring.
A merchant named William, who had
traveled into a far country over the sea,
aud obtained a large fortune by industry
and skill, after many years returned to hi*
native country.
When the ship landed, he heard that his
relations were just then assembled at a jo
vial supper in a neighboring country-house.
He immediately hastened thither, and in
the joy of his heart did not even take time
to put on a better coat instead of his gray
cloak, which was tolerably well beaten
about by the voyage. But as he came into
the brilliantly-lighted room, his relations
testified but little pleasure at seeing him
back again, since, in consequence of his
shabby dress, they supposed that ho had
returned poor.
A young Moor, whom he had brought
with him, was very indignant at the rela
tions, and said, “These are bad people, who
do not even weloome their friend with af
fection after so long an absence.”
“Only wait,” said the merchant aside to
him; “they will soon change their coun
tenances ”
He then put a ring, which he carried
with him, on his finger; and lo 1 all their
countenances immediately brightened up,
and each pressed towards their “own dear
cousin William.” One squeezed him by
the hand, another embraced him, and all
contended for the honor of reoeiving and
entertaining him at their houses.
“Has the ring some hidden power to be
witch the people?’’ asked the Black, in
amazement.
“Oh, no !” said William ; “they only see
by the sparkling ring, whioh is worth some
thousand crowns, that I am rich; and
riches arc all in all to them.’’
“O you blinded men !’’ cried the Moor;
“it is not, then, the ring, but covetousness,
which has bewitched you ! Can they in
deed value a bit of yellow ore, and a trans
parent stone, at a higher rate than a man
so noble as my matter ?”
“Virtue’s the pearl of price: the gold and stone
Seem of mo e value to the feol alone.”
The Looking Glass.
Matilda was a very passionate girl. Again
and again her mother strongly impressed
upon her how sinful, detestable, and dan
gerous is a violent temper, aud exhorted
her to gentleness.
She was sitting one day at her work
table, on whioh there stood a pretty vase
full of flowers. Her little brother threw
it down by accident, and broke it to pieces.
Matilda was almost beside herself with
passion ; her eyes glared, her forehead was
swollen, and her whole countenance dis
torted.
Her mother immediately held a looking
glass before her face, and Matilda was so
shocked at her own appearance, that her
passion subsided, and she began to cry.
“Do you see, now,” said her mother,
“what a hideous thing is passion ? If you
let it grow into a habit, these frightful
marks will by degrees beoome fixed, and
every grace will disappear from your coun
tenance.”
Matilda laid this to heart, and took much
pains to conquer her passion. She became
very gentle, and her gentleness adorned her
countenance. But her mother often re
minded her afterwards, “As it is with
passion and gentleness, so it is with all
vices and virtues ”
“As if reflected in the face
Each character of soul we trace.
Vice makes it hideous, rough, and wild;
But Virtue, lovely, sweet, and mild.”
I Am so Happy.
Little Annie had for some time been
very sad; but one day she was seen to ap
pear very happy—her eyes sparkled with
joy, and she seemed as though she could
hardly bear the pleasure she felt, it was so
great.
“Annie, why are you so cheerful V ’ she
was asked.
“O,” she said, “it is because I am so
happy !”
“But why are you so happy ?”
“O, I was so wicked, and God was an
gry with me ; but now he has forgiven me,
and that is why I am so happy.’*
Was this not enough to make any little
child happy—to feel that God smiled on
her and had forgiven all her sins ?
Little ones, can you say as little Annie
did, “God has forgiven me, and I am so
happy
A Well-Bred Dog. — We had been
speaking of the wonderful manner in which
instinct in all animals appears to develope
from constant and intimate association with
man, and had mentioned the case of a dog
belonging to a friend of the late gallant
General Sir G. Napier, who had been
SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE.
taught by his master to refuse all food pre
aented to him with the left hand. Oa one
oocasion, when Sir George Napier, (who
had lost his right arm at the storming of
Ciudad Rodrigo,) dined at his friend’s
house, the guests were amusing themselves
by tempting this well bred dog to lower his
high standard of etiquette. All in vain.
Not one of seven gentlemen present oould
bribe him to accept any dainty, however
savory, from the left hand, though he
eagerly ate food presented with the tight
hand. On Sir George Napier offering him
food with his left and only hand, the dog
glanced at the General’s empty sleeve; and
without further hesitation, acoepted_i(hc
gift. The experiment was tried again and
again, hut the animals’s discrimination was
never at fault. —All the Year Round.
Samson’s Foxes-
When a hoy, I was puzzled with all parts
of this affair. Thought I:
“Would not the fire brand burn the
string, or the hair of the tail ? how could
a dull brand, dragged fast through the
corn, set it on fire ? Why not the foxes
sent singly? would not two of them pijll
contrary way#, and prevent their running
at all ? and how could he catch so many
foxes ?’’ No doubt thousands of boys have
felt these difficulties, and thousands of
knowing men have turned up their noses
at the account, as unworthy of serious be
lief. But let us look again. Skepticism
is generally a lazy thing, not pleased with
study.
In the original Hebrew, the word meaDS
jackals, doubtless. This animal is not sol
itary like the foxes, but goes in large packs
They take shelter in the deep caverns
abounding in that country of limestone
hilis Samson, being chief, could casjfe'
command the assistance of a large number
of men; block up the entrance of the
caves, and catch as many as he pleased. In
that rude state of society, such sport would
please them well. The word translated
fire brand, means torch. In many parts of
the East, the torch is often made several
feet long, of combustible materials tied
tightly together so as to blaze out strongly
at one end, while it is held at the other
end by the hand, and lasts for many hours.
If dragged along on the ground, it would
still blaze fiercely. These large, glaring
torches were what Gideon’s men had, for
their night attack upon the camp; not the
little fine flame of a house-lamp, put out
by a fast walk, or a breath ! Suppose
Samson had tied the torch to a single jack
al; the frightened animal would haie
bounded along with suoh velocity as might
not have set fire to the grain ; while two of
them with their tails tied, must inclose
enough of the stiff stalks to impede theoi
considerably, and so give the blaze time to
kindle all along their course. They could
not stand still because the burning straw
close behind would compel them to go
If Samson had sent his men to set the fields'
on fire with their own hands, the Philis
tines would have caught and killed some of
them; but ibey could not catch the jackals.
The southern steeps of Dan overlooked
the land of the Philistines. Even at this
day, we are told, that same plain is a vast
grainfield. Samson might station his dif
ferent parties of men, with their jackals,
along the side of the hills for a consider
able distance. When they had made the
long hair of the two tails fast to the small
eDd of the torch by many knots they would
light the other end, perhaps, with a fosp
extra drops of oil. The jackal must gt
down the hill; the men would not allow
them to turn and go back to the caverns.
They would naturally steer for the tall
grain to hide themselves; there were no
fences to stop them. Presently there woulA
be a hundred and fifty lines of oracklin J
fire spreading to the right and left ovei
miles of yellow grain. The enraged own
ers, living here and there in villages, would
naturally chase the jackals. This would
only spread the ruin still more widely -L
All this shows how intently Samson must
have thought out the different parts of the
cunning contrivance. It agrees with his char
acter, which evidently had in it a consid
erable spice of reckless fun. We can see
him sitting on the rocky brow of his na
tive hills, looking down on the rich fieldr
of his enemies, pondering his plan, and
smiling to think how he would serve them.
This is a beautiful instance of the clear
light which may be thrown on an obscure
passige of Scripture by making ourselves,
acquainted with its geography and the cir
cumstances of its time.
That Wonderful Prayer.
Which ? Why, that one which your
mother taught you. Did you ever think,
short though it be, how much there is in
it? Like a diamond in the crown of a
queen, it unites a thousand sparkling gems
in one.
It teaohes all of us, every one of us, tc
look to God as our parent —“ Our Father."
It prompts us to raise our thoughts anY
desires above tho earth—“ Who art
heaven.’’
It tells us we must reverence our Heav
ly Father—“ Hallowed he thy name ’’
It breathes a missionary spirit— “ Thy
kingdom come."
And a submissive, obedient spirit—“ Thy
will he done on earth as it is in heaven.’’
And a dependent, trusting spirit—“ Give
us this day our daily bread."
And a forgiving spirit—“ Forgive us our
trespasses as we forgive those who trespass
against us.”
And a cautious spirit—“ Deliver us from
evil.’’
And last of all an adoring spirit— “ For
thine is the kingdom, and the power, and
the glory, forever and ever. Amen.”
Now is it not both a wonderful and a
beautiful prayer ? Jesus, our dear|Sariour,
taught it; and who could better tell us
how to pray to his Father and our Father,
to his God and our God ?
Sister Ann Elizabeth Tyler, long a
devoted member of Mulberry St. Churoh,
Macon, Ga., has passed away to her home
in Heaven
For 40 years she was a Methodist, bear
ing in her heart, and exhibiting in her life
the evidences of a deep and genuine spiri
tual experience. In her well-worn Bible
is found the following record :
“Admitted as a member (on trial) in the
M. E. Churoh in Columbia —A. E Tyler.
Juneith, 1830. Josiah Freeman.”
Her conversion was powerful and clear.
Never did she doubt it: and when tempted
and sore pressed, she could always rally and
find refuge in the assuranoe—“l have been
born of God.’’ Her religious experience
was deep and overflowing. Her commun
ion with God constant and comforting. She
always had something to tell of God’s deal
ings with her—and nothing was more de
lightful to her than that communion of
saints, in whioh heart answereth to heart,
and fellowship is had one with another, and
with Jesus our sympathising Saviour. Her
death was a holy triumph. For weeks and
months she languished : at times suffering.
excruciating agony. Yet, amidst all, hep*
patience had its perfeot work. Her Soul
was oftentimes rapturous —even in the mo
ments of greatest suffering. Death was
welcome to her. She rejoieed at its ap
proach! And in the swellings of Jordan
gave testimony to the last that all was well.
On the 19th of April, aged about 77 years,
her eyes closed in death, to open amid the
glories of the New Jerusalem.

Mrs. Sophia lanoston, widow of Jno.
Langston, was born December 10th, 1808,
and died after a long and painful illness,
March 13th, 1869.
She joined the M. E. Churoh in her
19th year, and made a profession of reli-
gion in her 23rd year, and lived a faithful
and humble Christian until death. She
was greatly afflicted for many years, and
bore it all with the resignation of a trie
Christian, ever ready to submit to the will
of God She was a kind and affect : onate
mother, and often said the only thought she
dreaded was leaving her family. During
all her trouble and long suffering her hopes
remained perfectly bright. She often ex
pressed her thoughts upon the subject of
death: for her, it had no terror—all was
well. There was no shadow or doubt as to
the genuineness of her religion. It was a
sad providence that removed the one we
needed and loved so much, but “The Lord
giveth and the Lord taketb away ’’ She
has gone from labor and long suffering to
that rest which remaineth for the people of
God. She has left us the priceless legaoy
of a good example and a Christian life As
she often told us, we must put our trust in
God, and look to him for guidance and di
rection. Gilmer.
William Eubanks, Sen'r, was born in
Glynn co., Ga, A. D. 1785 W hen a
young man, removed to I lorida, then a
Spanish province, and settled in Duval co.,
and became a successful cultivator oi the
soil and useful citizen.
When about 40 years old a Methodist
preacher found his way into Mr. Eubanks’
neighborhood, and the Gospel of love which
fell from the preachei’s lips, found perman
ent lodgment in his heart, and he soon be
came anew creature. When he j lined the
Methodist Church, he embraced all the pe
culiarities of Methodism. Love-feasts,
Class meetings, family and private prayer,
and reading the Bible, oh! how he loved
the Bible, even on unto the day of his
death. On March 23rd, 1869, he labored
on his farm in his usual health, but in much
feebleness. By the war he had lost the
earnings of a longlife; and in poverty and
weakness, he did his duty to himself and
family, and labored for his and their sup
port —retired early to rest, after committing
himself and family into the hands of God.
After sleeping an hour or more he called to
his daughter, Mrs. Miner, and said, “I am
dying-” She hastened to his room, just iu
time to see her much loved parent, launch
from the shore of time with every sail un
furled and favoring breezes for the haven
of rest, where doubtless he soon anchored,
and was hailed by loved ones gone before,
and orowned with glory by the Blessed
Saviour, “to be forever with the Lord.”
R. R. Rushing.
Mrs. A. E. Cheatham was born in
Habersham co., May 3rd, 1833, married R.
S. Cheatham June 17th, 1852, and died cf
consumption at the residence of her lather,
Rev. E B. Loyless, in Dawson, Ga., May
sth, 1869.
Born of pious parents, dedicated to God
in infancy, trained up in the way he should
go, she professed religion and joined the
M. E Church in her eleventh year, and re
mained a consistent member of the same
till her death. Her life was amiable, vir
tuous, and true, and her death a most glo
rious triumph. She suffered long and
much, but not a word of complaint fell
from her lips Not a doubt disturbed her
peaceful mind, or a cloud obscured her
view of the promised land. Her mind na
turally brilliant, grew brighter as she near
ed the “sun-bright clime.” Her words of
wisdom and love will long be remembered
by those who waited around her bed, and
saw her gently breathe her spirit back to
God. After committing her weeping chil
dren and aged parents to a “faithful Crea
tor,” she fell asleep in Jesus and went to
join her sainted husband on the other shore.
B. F. B.
Mas. Sat.i.l e Ed£l.un died Apiil 24th,
1869, aged 20 years and 10 days.
With a devoted husband, in the midst of
dear friends, life was to her full of promise.
She sought not to oonceal her desire to re
main with them, and it is a striking exem
plification of her faith and the goodness of
God, that in the midst of these strong ties
to earth she could always sincerely express
a resignation to His will. She endured a
long and painful illness without repining or
complaining against the providence of God,
and endeavored, by cultivating a cheerful
spirit, to divert the minds of anxious friends
from her real condition. Passing thus
away, slowly and quietly she went home
like as the sun sinks in tho west, and the
memory of her presence is like the sun
light that lingers long behind a bright de
parted day. Her bereaved friends have
mnch to solace them. She had joined the
M. E. Churoh, ere the hand of disease had
admonished her that death was so near;
and the seeds of virtue and piety implanted
in her soul at a tender age, wore reared into
plants that shall blossom like the immortal
amaranth amoDg the stars. A Friend.
George Bennett, died March 1869, in
his 25th year.
At the beginning of the late war, he was
-a student of the University of Georgia.
Joining the Troup Artillery from Athens,
he “endured hardness as a good soldier,”
until the surrender. At the marked revi
val at Orange C. H., Va., he became a sol
dier of the Cross ; and was as true to the
latter, as to the former enlistment. Re
turning home, he promptly united with the
Church. Adopting the profession of teach
ing, he gave himself to its assiduous and
successful prosecution. Just six weeks be
fore bis death, he was happily married to
Miss Sallie Strother, of Lincoln 00. His
interest in religion increased during his
brief married life. Regular Bible readings
and attendance at the Sunday-school, char
acterised the days of a union whioh was so
sadly and suddenly dissolved. The day be
fore the disease developed whioh resulted
so fatally, he was specially engaged in pri
vate devotions. The prayerful life secured
a triumphant death. C.
Rev. Ellis Stafford died at Grant
ville, Ga., od 17th April, in his 60th year.
He was born near Greensboro, N. C., but
( when a lad he came to Upson co., Ga,
where he grew to manhood, married, and
lived till 1851, when he moved to the vi
cinity in which he breathed his last.
He was diligent in business, fervent in
spirit; attending to worldly interests he
never stopped on acoount of weather; as a
preacher he was fond of going into “out of
the way places/’ I visited him often dur
ing his last sickness. When conversing on
the subject of experimental religion, he
told me that he was soundly and happily
converted to God, when he was a mere boy,
saying “I have never backslidden/’ His
trust in Christ was firm. He greatly de
sired to be able to preach again, and to
render service in the Sabbath-school cause,
‘but his work was done. He lingered long
and suffered much, but quietly and patient
ly submitted to his Father’s will.
W. J. C.
Mrs. Elizabeth Pasmore, wife of Na
than Pasmore, Esq., of Harris 00., Ga.,
died of bronohitis, after an illness of 9
months, on the evening of the 20th May,
1869, aged 59 years, 6 months, 12 days.
She was the daughter of the late John
E. Lester, of Jones 00., Ga. A kind, de
fied and affectionate hnsband and daugh-
Wet, and many other friends and relations
mourn their loss, but they mourn, not as
many do who have no hope, but as those
having abundant evidence of her accept
ance with God. Her heart was fixed with
an unwavering confidence; and in the hour
of death she gave glory, and praise to God.
R.
J. W. Brown died March 6th, 1869, in
the 50th year of his age.
For many years he was a member ol the
Methodist Church at Hawkinsville, and a
part of the time he served the Churoh as
an efficient steward. In every relation
to the ohureh, as officer and private
member, he strove to do his duty. He
was a good citizen, an excellent neighbor,
a kind friend and a faithful counsellor
of the church until last September, when
in the mysterious dispensations of Provi
dence, he sustained an entire loss of
mind, from which he never reaoted, not
so much as to have now and then lucid
moments lie leaves a heart-stricken wife
and three children, who, together with a
whole community keenly mourn their loss.
May God in His great mercy and got do ess
sanctify this strange providence to the good
of the bereaved family and to His own
glory. W. F. Robison.
Zere Middlebrooks, died at his resi
dence in Newton co., Ga , April 17th, 1869,
in t*ie 87 th year of his age.
He was born in Caswell co., N. C., moved
to Georgia in 1817, was married in 1808,
embraced religion in 1832, and, with four
of his children, joined the M. E. Church.
He commenced family worship right away
and never missed when able to attend to it.
He strove to be faithful in the discharge of
all his Christian duties, trusting alone to
the merits of the Saviour, and he felt as
sured of his part in his blood. He reared
eleven children. His aged widow and all
of his children who survive him, are mem
bers of the church. He bore his sickness
with great patience and fortitude, yielding
without a muimur to the will of God, spoke
of death with composure, and had no f. ar.
beyond the grave. In his death the church
has sustained a loss and many hearts are
made sad. J. L. G.
Lillie 0. Harris, a member of tho
Clinton, S. C , Sundey-school, died 2nd
May, in her 10th year. Though so young,
she was so beloved by her school mates, that
they passed resolutions of respect for her
memory, and of sympathy with her bereav
ed parents. E. H. M.

TO CLERGYMEN AND TEACHERS.
AN EMINENT CLERGYMAN, once said: “Were
I to leave the ministry, I should take an Agency for
Life Assurance. Next to religious efforts, I consider
that it is doing most to benefits iciety.” Another not
less distinguished authority has lately declared: “Eve
ry reason which makes it a man’s duty to provide for
his family while heis living, acts with yet greater force
to secure to them a comfortable subsistence af er he
shall have been removed from them. * * Oncetbe
question was, “ Can a Christian man rightfully seek As
surance?” Now the question is, “Can a Christian man
justify himself in neglectißg such duty?”
The beneficence of Life As-urance being thus ac
knowledged and thus taught, the question should be,
how best to present it to the attention of the masses.
Rival companies.ambitious of success, have lately em
ployed agents and canvassers, who have advocated the
general importance of Life Assurance,and > he peculiar
claims of theirseveraiassociations, with such diligent
application and stubborn pertinacity, that the whole
surface of society has become irritated and painfully
sensitive. Howtoapproachcitizens,amidsttneirbusy
occupations, without alarming or offending them, is a
question that has occupied the attention ofthe ottieers
of this Company from itsearliestinception. Religious
truth is taught from the pulpit, and ociety yields its
ministers a generous and cheerful support. Ethics
and wholesome doctrines of domestic and political
duty, have become subjects of popular entertainment,
for which large masses almost daily pay a liberal and
voluntary tax; while the principles and importance o(
Life Assurance are limited to tne arguments in eircu
lars and annual reports, occasional newspaper puffs of
a partisan character, and the buttonholing imperti
nence of hasty and unadroit agents and canvassers,
who, if they sometimes succeeo in obtaining the im
patient attention of the busy citizens, mostfrequently
annoy those whom they address,and are disgusted
and discouraged themselves.
To avoid these difficulties, and to aUain to public
confidence and more liberal patronage, by more grace
ful and proper means, we decide to appeal to the
clergymen and the teachers of the country for their
countenance and support Surely that which has
already oecome so essential a feature in the social
fabric, which addresses itself to the benevolence and
Christian obligation of the citizen, may well be advo
cated by the teachers of religious duty, and explained
oy professors of popular education with singular pro
firiety. How more aptly may the language of the fol
owing touching passage be employed than in advo
cating the beneficence of Life Assurance?
‘‘When the ear heard me, then it blessed me, and
when the eve saw me it gave witness to me; because I
delivered tne poor that cried, and the fatherless and
him that had none to help him. The blessing of him
that was ready to perish came upon me, and I caused
thewd ws tosing for joy.”
Wemustresp ctfully, and earnestly solicit the co
operation of clergymen throughout the country, in
presenting to the people the necessity and the advan
tages of Life Assurance.
To teachers genera'ly, we offer terms which will
mak- 1 it an object for them to canvass for our Compa
ny, in such manner as they may, without infringing
upon their other duties. It is believed that teachers
possess superior opportunities of gainingtheattention,
and reaching the understanding of the people and
may canvass with success. To such as may desire
thus to engage, we will pay the most liberal commis
sions.
The undersigned, will promptly attend to all who
apply, and will give unusually liberal terms to those
desiring to insure, or become Agents for the Company.
Clergymen and Teachers are cordially requested to
correspond with us with reference to acting in our be
half.

Messrs. John Darby & Cos.,
161 William St., N.Y.
Gents I have received so much benefit from “Dar
by’s Prophylactic Fluid,” that I feel it my duty to let
you know it I had an attack of Typhoid Fever, and
withitamost stubborn case of Erysipelas, and whs
confined to my bed near two months, suffering the
most intense pain all the time from Erysipe as, and al
ter exhausting the many prescriptions of my physi
cian, he finally commenced the use of Darby’s Pro
phylactic Fluid, and soon found that 1 was being im
proved by its use, and continued te use it, and am
nearly well. I consider it the most valuable medicine
for diseases and purposes for which it is made that is
sold. I also used it most successfullv on my l'ttle
son who was severely burnt, aud I do assure you that
it was this medicine alone that I could get any
relief irom my distressing attack of Erysipelas
I do not write you this as a certificate for publica
tion, but an a duty that I feel I owe to Prof. Darby and
his invaluable medicine.
I shall never be without it again if I can by any pos
sible means get it.
I hope you are succeeding, and will make a fortune.
Very truly yours,
J T. HESTER.

und^Consumption*
Probably never before in the whole
M hist ry of medicine, has anything won
A so widely and ho deeply upon the con
tidence of mankind, as this excellent
/jemedy for pulmonary complaints.
Through a long series of years, and
among most of the races of men it has
W risen higher and higher in their esti
mation as it ha* become better known. Its uniform
charHcter and power to cure the various affections of
the lungs and throat, lias made it known as a reliable
Frotector against them. While adapted to milder
rms of diseases and to young children, it is at the
same time the most effectual remedy that can be given
for incipient consumption, and tbe dangerous affec
tions of the throat and lungs. Asa provision against
sudden attacks of CROUP, it should be kept on hand
in every fami y, and indeed as all are sometimes sub
ject to colds and ooushs all should be provided with
this antidote for them
Although settled CONSUMPTION is thought incura
ble, still great numbers of cases where the disease
seemed settled have been comp etely cured and ti e
patient restored to sound health by the CHhRRY
PECTORAL. So complete is its mastery over the dis
orders of the Lungs and Throat, that the most obsti
nate of them yield to it. When nothing e.se oould
reach them, under the CHERRY PECTORAL they
subside a f >d disappear.
SINGERS AND PUBLIC SPEAKERS find great pro*
t( ction fr.-m it.
AS i'HMA is always relieved and often wholly cured
by it.
BRONCHITIS;is generally cured by taking tho
CHERRY PECTORAL in small and frequent doses.
So generally aie its virtues known that we need not
publish the certificates of them here, or do more than
assure the public that its qualities are fully maintained.

such as Asthma, Bronchitis, Laryngitis, Dyspepsia,

Fits, Hemorrhoids or Piles, Bcrofula, Dropsy, Func

j Female Diseases Specially Treated!
Inmakingthisa* nouncementto the public, he would
return thanks for the increased patronage bestowed
upon him, during the past year, from Georgia, Alaba
ma, North and South Carolina, Florida and other
States.
He nas practiced Medicine more than Thirty Years
regularly—-and during that long period, nas given
SPECIAL attention to the treatment ol Diseases o/long
standing—and in order to treat them successfully, he
has carefully sought from every source, remedies that
would cure regardless of systems, and ha>. only adhered
to any system—so far as it would most certainly assist
him in curing disease—by pursuing this course he
has gathered t gether remedies that by their specific
and constitutional effect, will more certainly cure
Chronic Diseases, than the remedies in general use by
Physic ans in Acute cases.
He would not attempt, in the slightest degree, to re
flect upon the Medical Profession, of which he is a
humble member—or depreciate the skill and ability
of any Physician.
He doubts not that many may be found, who possess
greater capacity and medical anility in some respects,
than himself, but in this particular branch of Medical
Practice, he professes to be able to do more in curing
such cases than the most of his medical Brethren,
which fact many of them recogDize, by recon mending
to him their patients, that they cannot cure—all of
which is appreciated by him. He feels that be is jus
tified in making these statements, from the fact, that
he has spent more than half of a long life time in in
vestigating the subject of treating successfully Chron
ic Diseases.
He is laboring to cure obstinate cases of Disease of
long stai.ding, and has succeeded in many apparently
hopeless cases.
Has cured Epilepsy from 1 to 25 years standing, Dys
pepsia and Liver Complaints, frcml to many years
Standing, some of them the mostinveterate cases. Drop
sy, Hydrothorax Ascites and Anasarca —some of them
ol the most obstinate character , and considered hope
less by Physicians. Nervous Diseases and Functional
Diseases of the H. art. Rheumatism of longstanding.
Dysentery and Diarrhoea of the worst forms, and of long
standing.
Female Diseases of almost every description, many
very bad cases cured of long standing.
He could continue to enumerate cases and add cer
tificates of cures but deems it unnecessary where he
is known, to add certificates, and where he is not
known, they might not be relied on.
He prefers making statements of facts, and giving
reference to gentlemen, as to his standing and relia
bility.
He does not profess to be able to cure all cases bu t
will certainly be candid in giving his opinion in evej y
case that may apply to him, and exert himself to|th e
utmost of his skill, to cure all who may place them
selves under his treatment.
Persons at a distance, by sending symptoms, etc.,
etc., can have medicine suited to their cases sent by
mail or e* press. Direct to No. 66 Bread Street, Col
umbus, Georgia. „
