92 jjatfrg- 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. gtkellang. From the New York Observer. 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. (Silken. 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. J. S. Key. 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. 1889 1869.

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. Address all communications to J. W. SHACKLEFORD, Manager, June 12.1838. Atlanta, Ga. J.

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.

Ayer’s Clicrry Pectoral, t for Disease* of* flic Throat and Lunfii, Much «■ Couglis. Colds, Whooping CouKli, BroncliUU ami limit, 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.

WOODRUFF respectfully given notice that continues to treat DISEASE OF LONG STANDING, such as Asthma, Bronchitis, Laryngitis, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Rheumatism. Epileptic and Nervous Fits, Hemorrhoids or Piles, Bcrofula, Dropsy, Func tional Diseases of the Heart, Spinal and Kidney Affec tions, Dysentery, Diarrhoea, etc., etc. 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.
