7 ir?C-?rp*CST*.r-*immm II' ' ! ! I ilwl'ress and Banner. Vj H-j^h Wilsco and II. T. AVuvuIrvt. Wednesday, July 2S. 1832. I *" #""* I TTi'e Mill-vtrv KeSolfctions. In another coli:ni!i ct the Press and: Manner may bo found a series of resolutions by 111o citizens of thy vicinity o! I Vhiles Cross Roads in"reforer.ro to the! . . i VostO.ik'C and a desired Railroad Depot j at that place. These resolutions wo I know will not s;o unheeded. Chiles' Cross Romls is one of the oldest i settlements in Abbeville County, and a po?t o'lice and store bus kept there' for perhaps half a century. It is a central point in one of the best agricultural sections, wHi several of the best roads in ! the county running past that place, and , the people have been, for Hie whole of j 'their life time Kccustoitred to meet there j 'whenever a public meeting of the citi 7.0us of the neighborhood was held.! "J'hey arc attached tc? the place and when . 'ilio proposition was made to build the! Kailroad, thev with a'public spirt and aliberality, which we presume has not: been excelled at any point along the road,' "contributed of their money to the extent of their ability, without for a moment entertaining a doubt as to the location of a depot. When the money, provisions,* stud credit of the roc.d had booh exhaust-! 'fd, and when it seemed that the work] Snuststop, and the project should provej . tt> be a failure, .mother appeal was made] "t<> our people for aid. Very few of them j had money, but we recognize among the i namesconjiectcd with these resolutions,! the names of somo of tho men wlio re-; spondod to that appeal and who came for- ! ward with contributions from their barn jiiid their store, in sulhcient quantities to ii;fu.4e rcw life rr.to'the enterprise. ITnva tho hones of those trood neonlei ^een realized ? Wo think hot. Although j their money?(individual subscriptions[ "and the local tax, which they voted upon themselves)?lias been used in the con-j ruction of tho road, they not only j^ct; ao depot, "but we learn that it is now pro- j posed to take away the post office, which ( has becu kept tiiere for a life time. In connection with this we would not | "bo understood as easting unkind re-! Elections upon any one. We know that,; in the construction of a railroad, it is a! physical impossibility to run it by every j man's barn, and it is not to bo denied j that Superintendents and Presidents of llailroad* find it exceedingly difficult to establish ? station at every man's dwelling. lint as the people of Millway gave their money at first without entertaining "n doubt as to the location of a depot for their benefit, and as they now propose g<# luriutT aiiu uunu it uvjjwi, v? w m v j confident that the President will not turn ! si deaf ear to their reasonable request. I Even if it should inconvenience tho Kailroad authorities to some extent, vve'lh'ink | that they would loso nothing by yielding j, litllo to their friends. Theso friendsj, 'aiirfe 8?f anxious thai a depot should be established there, and are -So comidcnt that I 'it would bo profitable to the rosd, -that v e iire inclined to the opinion, that the Kail- , road would lose nothing by trying the (. : ?r !./? ne Hi.it ! rA^timvUfc ui UUrlt,...s 1-vu^.v V,. , cornmunity. In after years, if the depot' i s;honld be found unprofitable it wo#ld be 11 abandoned by common consent, when the J? men v. ho paid their money shall have re-1, <-cived at least a conciliatory crumb in re-11 turn for their liberality. The road at jj present is a short one, and can afford fo ] oblige these people Kt least until the road j j is extended to Laurens or Spartanburg, j | A trwo minutes' stop would snfiico. ! i We say this much without having any < Vtxe to grind, and without any desire to!; interfere in anyway with the pre-ent 5 bit oYcpllcnt nmnrurftiuuit of the llail-1 < road. We know Colonel Verdery to havej? a lie interest of the road at heart and that ] iie has the disposition to be accommo- h elating. Let tho people make known L their requests, and'they will have nojj <-ause to complain of him. lie is ambi-'t lious to make tho road a success, and if it * < J <*nn lie rnano clear to him that a station at t j ^lillivay will do no injury to the business) i prosperity of the company whoso iuter-jj. >c.sts he represents, wo know that he will t .not object to ordering the trains to stop I *hei-e for a minute. i ?????. ^ The Polities of the County. * rtin.liflflMo ivii nfncAiitinrr Mini ) I P. 1 ? 1HU wi.mn.oivo u?v ? . ~ , *pective claims to preferment in a kinaly j spirit ar>d in an earnestness which com- * tnands respect.

The circa- j ( 3atiou of evjl reports about competitors, j ( ?either personalis' or through the instruinentalityof friends should be discounts- , aianeed. Let honest merit win. Honest ] merit does not seek to injure the reputa- 1 tion of a competitor. The public should , know that the country would bo safe in , the hands of any of the candidates, j, They are all good men.

Let every voter cast his j vote in accordance with his own convic- | tions. As a rule it is best for the private , citizen to keep his ticket to himself. No man should review or examine the ticket t>f another. The Subject Being Turnips. l The time for sowing turnips is about 1 bn us, and as there !s not a family in Ab- J beville county who should not have a tur<nid patch, we will remind those who may j Ire disposed to neglect this important ] -matter, that good turnips and the best of salad for use in Winter and Spring ! may be had for almost nothing. For the ' information of such of our readers as do ! hot know a bettor way, and who are not willing to go to more trouble to plant the ' crop, we would say that we know of at least one family who secured with very ( little labor or expense more turnips and' f salad than they could consume lart win- , Aer. Not knowing the best variety of j seed to sow, Mr. Tusten of our town,? was consulted. lie said, buy seed of sev- j ^ eial varieties, mix them, ?.nd sow togeth- j er. Not having any suitable grouudup-|c on which there was not a crop, the tur- ,'c nip seed were sovni broadcast in several ] t acres of bottom corn about the last of! v August. In due time the turnips were j there in the greatest abundance. This j, Spring seed wero saved, and the experi- j, ment of sowing broadcast, in the cornir will be again tried next August. If any- j body knows of a rhertper way lo get tur- j nips, let him speak. Clean the Land?Clear the Streams, i As soon as the crops are laid by, the i work of removing logs, rafts, and other J obstructions from the streams should be j attended to without further delay. If l there is still other bottom land not in a r cultivatable condition, no time should be j lost in prosecuting the work of :nakhig it m ready for the plow. i)ue acre of swan.f> -| land, properly drained, and thoroughly j flowed will yield a larger return for the j *wurk than any labor on the farm. 1 * mm?-%wnt Imwumw i m i?>*.^1.^.^1 iwwmwrn I>r?at1. The outlook for the fU. tulry ii.tercst? of this c unlv was in.-M.-r as I'.atU'iiiijr a* at present. Wy have jiibt harveered: :l.o lurgcai out ;rnp which Ahbevilh; has ever prodnced. Tiie barley crop; thoniflj not bo iinpoitar.t wu- an excellent one, I' and will airategato a yield about two or i three times as? gr??.t as th;:t of any pre-' vions your. The wheat crop i*> the lar-' nest ami best that we have had since the! war. Tn addition to this, information isi' received front every quitrter of the conn-1' ty to the e^lcet that nearly every farmer ji who makes any pretettec to tlirift has put;' in a much larger area in corn than everjbefore. Much of tlift lowlands and'j rlvirshcs have been cleared and ditched, i! and now present the most luxhrir.nt ; growth of corn. It might be safe to say i [ that, \Vithin the limits of Abbev illo eoun- | ty. thousands of acres of wet and marsh !' lands have been reclaimed and planted | in corn. v\*e are better acquainted -with j the progress of this work on the road to While Hull than in any other section of the county. Within the last few years,, ' several hundred acres of this kind of . i land immediately on the public roadiJ have been eleared, ditched and put in 1 corn. Mr. W. IV Devlin has put i:i about ' seventy-five acres on morris croeK, near , ; Long Cane; Mr. Anderson, has cleared a J t large body of bottoms on Beaver Dam ij ercek, perhaps liftv or eighty acres; Mr. L John Wilkerson has in that time clcared jj and planned in corn about thirty acres of c tlie best bottoms en Hard Labor creek ; , on the farm above his farm on the same I creek about sixty acres have been cleared , and put in corn; Rev. It. W. Seymour * now plants about ten or twelve acres of jj Ilard Labor bottoms in corn. Mr. John K. Lyon, of Mt. Carinel, re-J? ports the greatest increase this year of tiio' { corn crop on lowlands in every direction j I from his house. Mr. Jaincs Barksdale, t of Enterprise, says the same as to the j crops of liis neighbors who have been j t eHliycnt in increasing t!?e stock of bread. ^ The high prices winch hnye prevailed [ i during the last year will most likely j{ stimulate our pcoplo to greater efforts in i < the restoration of their bottom lauds, J ? and wo doubt not that as soon as the crops j1 are laid by, that (hey will prniteed at once! i to the clearing ot any ouier iowiiihus j which they may possess. Such lands, if(i cleared oil' within the next six weeks'^ may- be sown in barley at once. The bar-! s ley will ripen in full time for next j-ear'sl ^ corn crop. By a little exertion in this''1 way the cost of clearing may bo made' ( back in six months. Every foot of lowjj Itinds should bo brought into cultivation.: r Hogs or Goats J I * The present high price of bacon should j set our peaplo to thinking and planning for a means o*f avoiding the great expense; . of buying bacon. Tho cost of raising[v hogs makes it doubtful as to the profit of' doing so, even at the ruling high prices ol j I meat, and tho great risk to tho health of [ the family which is incurred bv the pros-; v cnce of a hog-pen about the premises, j? would in the cask) of the mere cautious of 1 our citizens, prccludejthe undertaking of / so doubtful and so dangerous an experi-11 nient. There can be no question that pigj pens have been the cause of more dip- ^ thcria and typhoid fever than all other j n :auses combined, and those of our sub-j* icribers who have been constant readers, i b 3l the /Yeas und Banner may recall tolg mind the fact that every year, it ha> s been Cur sad duty to announce the most!> iorrowful results of these diseases. To'fj relieve the citizens from the necessity of, b buying so much bacon, and to prevent'b liim from taking the risk of making his'si liouschold sick by the presence of a pig ^ pen, wo would suggest cuat hs suuu < there is a stack time of work on the farm, ;hat the pasture fences be put in the best <1 ;ondition possible. After this is done, I ? liuv a few goats. A kid can be kept fori8,1 iix months at a cost not greater than that! )i raising,a chicken, a'nd a hall'dozen) ;oats will furnish a small family with a j urge per cent of the meat which will be leeded. The kids can bo killed when small, and none of the meat will be lost. ^ If a farmer undertakes to kill a beef in he summer, the greater part of it is lost, >r if ho er>r>M into a "beef market" with ! (j' i?? neighbors, the plan will work unsat-IE sfaetorv. Fvery man may think heip jives more and better beef than ho re-, w ,'t'ives, and even if this were not the case, j y he trouble of sending after it is somea! ng. Nothing will pay better than aju nimll 1lock of goats. With the goats ai^ una]l number ol'sheep may be profita-1 c jly kept. The guats protect the slieap|w roui the ravages of dogs. Two Billy n J oats can make an ordinary sheep kill-; ng dog wish that he had been drowned s< vhen he was a pup. | ai . li ./ v A Civil Communication. !

The article is written in a fair i c ind courteous loner and boars evidence I ?f emanating from the peu erf an edu-j :ated and discriminating mind. Wc ad- ( Jiit that the article of "Anonymous," is: ft lot without force, but contend that therel ire other tilings which we might say that; sj vould, in some respects, controvert our|l' ulversary's position. As we would pro er that the right should prevail, wo arc.st 11 most tempted to copy the article in b .question, so that, if the reader should I ;hink "Anonymous'' brings better rca- t: .oning to bear, his side of the question'? nay win the approval of the public. We! ii lave no jealousies as to being beaten. I " We would prefer to have the right to pre- j> rail than to be victors, and if any of our) readers see the right more plainly than i * ive do wo shall, thank them to c; dear our vision, and convince us to a bet-1 :er way ol thinking. We keep the "right j c steadily in view, but liko all other uior-1 ? Lais, wo ma}* sometimes take the wrong ( r; nad. We thank "Anonymous" for the courtesy and consideration which he has i n shown. j j * * |\< Oats on Bottom land. j11 If oats are sown on bottom lands, the most satisfactory results may be secured i c< by sowing the largest quantity of seed.! j I3y isueh a course the sterns do not grow (e ;all enough to fall down. After gather-1 .ng a large crop of oats next spring, corn nay be planted. All bottom lands can j it je made to produce two crops. Oats and ^ Ltarley are not easily killed by water, i ii Where the lands aro at all properly * litched no fears need be entertained as to j jvorflows. From the wettest bottom on j t] Hard Labor, and one which had not been | ^ P sufficiently ditched, fifteen bushels of, t! barley to tho acre were threshed, to say J w nothing of the grain that was killed be-'t! ause of tho want of proper ditching. I The same land now has as fine corn on it i is any one could wish. There is no prof-! ? it in letting onr lands lie idle all winter. 11 The Winter crops are as valuable, and as j jure, as the Summer crops, and the wisej^ farmer should begin to think of this mat- t< .er at once. I J-'( The Candidates and the Newspapers*!"

At otter written from A4.-'an la, tia., under late of July 4, makes the following statement] v'hich needs no comment I \ Mf-ntinii k iwul' mlm tof! to n wnrf nf (jHon plant which bids fair to prove immense- j y valuable. Formally years ,\lr.; A. A. Kilters, of Macon, lias been carefully experlmen-l ing to hybridize the cotton plant that grows vild in Florida with the common okra. The ottou plant used Is of that, species which Is iiundoiithe lowlaiids of the (.'uloosahatchie ti\er. The new plant retains the okra stalk ,iid the foliage ot the cotton. Its Mover and rurt. however. Is strikingly unlike either cot-1 on or okra. The plant has an average height I if two feet, and each plant has only one bloom. I This is a magnificent Ilower? very much j ike the great magnolia in lragr.iiice, audi 'jually as large. Like the cotton bloom, the lower is white for several days after it opens, iter which i? Is first pule pink, and gradually sstimcs darker siuides ol this color until it iccoines red, when it drops disclosing a wonlerful boll. For about ten clays this boll reetublcs the cotton boll, and then its growth uddenly Increases j as if by magic until it Inully readies the size of a biir cocoanut. Cot until it reaches this size does the liut apear. Then its snowy threads begins to burst rom the boll, but are held securely in place y the okra-iike thorns or points that line the ol!. Cc One inexperienced picker can easily gather J; W poundg u day, and fast hands much more. Vera theonl vsavimr thatof labor in iratherinir ' lie lint, the result of Mr. Suber's experiment " rould.entitle him to the everlasting gratitude f tiieSouthern farmer. yut this is not till? i !iere are no seeds in the lint. Kaeh boll pro- \ uees about two pounds of very long staple I jt ton superior to the sea island, and at llie 1 ottom of the boll there are from lour to six 1 icds, resembling persimmon se:>d. This new IJtun;, therefore, needs no gaining.

'?2 Chronicles, (i: IS. This is tiiu language of Solomon at the detleationof the temple. On that occasion, a ;reat multitude had been attracted from all tarts of the country to witness ibis solemn iiid imposing ceremony. Four hundred and lghty years had elapsed since the erection 01 j he tabernacle; and during all that long peri-1 id, the ark ol the covenant had dwelt w ithiit j urtalr.s. }Jut in that ark was the golden pot h*it had manna, and Aaron's rfid that bud-! led. and the (aides of the covenant; and over t, the cherubim of glory,shadowing the mery-seat. Thus equipped and famished, the ark wife veil adap'cd to inspire the beholder with senimentsof reverential tear. To the many it vas a:i object of even superstitious vericraion.

It whs a visible manifestation of the Jivine glory; a glimpse of that, awful inajes sty which is luily unveiled in Hie upper anetuury. He whom "heaven and the lieav(ii of heavens can no- contain ;'' for whose reception the temple of tile universe is too counseled, was pleased to honor with his Divine iresetiee the liouse which Solomon had built, hit when the King of Israel compared the etnple, however imposing and magnificent, villi the work of the Divine Architect, so inlonceivably glorious, he exclaimed with th'e nostunaffected humility: "Heboid, heaven iml the heaven ol heavens can not contain bee; how inucli less this house which I have >ui!t!"

This sublime truth was announced by Paul, roni the midst of Mars'1JII1. to the highly inltlvated, but idolatrous Athenians: '"(Sod bat made the world and all things thrreln, eeing thai lie is Lord of heaven and "arth. Iwelleth not in temples made with Imnds." Hherwise, where would he be worshipped by hat innumerable company of angels, or gen ral assembly and church of the lirst-born vhich are written in heaven? And where vould the shepherds of Bethlehem have teard that triumphant anthem, with which n nultitudeol the heavenly host responded to he angel of the annunciation: "Glory to God n the highest, and on earth peace, good will owardmen!"

The rophct, as well as the psalmist, bears disnct and ctnnhatic testimony to the same reat truth: "Thassaith the Lord, the heaven ; my throne, and the earth is my footstool;! here Is the house that ye build unto me? nd whole is the place of my rest ?"' .Shall we. then, as the niannticrof some Is, irsalce the asscmblinz of ourselves together? Iiall tbe doors of the sanctuary be permacntly closed; and shall the lumenta:ion of le prophet be renewed in our day: "The ays of Zion do mourn, becau 'e none pome > the solemn feasts?" Shall no temple be ; ected, and dedicated to the service of thei ving God, because the "heaven of heavens iunot contain" him, or because the hour has rtady come, when lie is worshipped neither j i this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem? Such j conclusion would be most unwarrantable, iii utterly inconsistent with the plainly re-j ualcd will of God, as well as the practice ot'L ie most eminent saints. J11 the one hundred and thirty-second I saIm, wo learn how deoply the pious Kins of rael was concerned about a local habitation r the ark : 'How he sware unto the Lord, nd vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob; irely I will not cotne into the tabernacle of y house, nor wap into my bed; 1 will not ve sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine felids, until 1 lind out a place for the Lord, hubiiation for the mighty God ot Jacob." t the same inspired song, wo learn how the ajesty in the hcavcus, with inlinite eondeiension, responded to this solicitude on the ?rt of his servant: "This is my rest forever; j !;re will 1 dwell, for I have desired it. 1 will jundantly bless her piovision: 1 will satisfies poor with bread. I will also clothe her riests with salvation* and her saints shall iout aloud for Joy." When t he second tern-, e, according to the prediction of Christ, was ihverted "from turret to foundation stone," it of the ruins of this venerable pile?like ie fabulous Eastern bird, which periodically I mews its youth?arose not one, or t wo, but undreds of Christian temples, in which inMise was offered, and a pure offering, even ie sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving, more . ceptable to God than all I ho slate and glitr of forms and ceremonies, "Devotion'severy grace, except me nenrt." i "Hut will Cod in very deed dwell with men ti tlie earth? Behold, heaven anu the heavi of heavens cannot contain thee: how) iucIi less this house which I have built!" In answer to this inquiry, we observe tha'. i the person of Jesus Christ., God literal'y welt "with men on the earth." "Destroy lis temple," said he to tlie carnal and unbeevlng Jews, and in three days I will raise it p again." "Forty and six years was this | >mpleln building," tliey exclaimed with sudressed indignation, "and will thou rear it pin three days?" "But," adds the sacred istorian, "he spake of the temple of his inly." He was with the church in tlie wilt-mess; but his name was secret, and when e revealed himself it wi s in terrible majes1UU now, 1'hat glorious form, that light insufferable, nil that far-beaming blaze of majvst.v, therewith he v;ont, at heaven's high council-table, o stt the midst of Trinal Unity, [e laid aside; and here with us to be, orsooit the courts of everlasting day, nd chose with us a darksome house of mortal clay." ?Mitlon. A heathen moralist and philosopher speaks r the hodv as tabcnt'iculuni nnimi: and the ispircd apostle employs the same metaphor hen he expresses tlio eonvietion that "if our i irilily house of this tabernacle were dtssolvJ, we have a building of God, a house not iade With hands, eternal In the heavens." ut. the body of Jvsus was tubrrnuculum Dei, le Habitation of the Lord, and, therefore, innitely more glorious than the house of sololon: for this DivineTemple was illuminated y ihe indwelling of him who is the "Irrightess of the Father's glory, and the express liuge of his person." In the person of Christ, God not only dwelt with men on the earth," but admitted them > the iitjsY intimat communion.

J xnkHiaBninanaBMMaMBiMBBi: When Paul reflected on his career ns a persecutor, breathing out tircateilings ami Mailt: liter against tlie disciples of the Lord, he was, in ins own estimation, not meet to he called an apostle, less than the least of nil j t?uii:i.s (elachUtoferoi), and even the chief of sinners, tint when false teachers challenged j Iii-? authority. and treated him as an enthu.-iI a.-l or lni|>ij-,tor, h<j resented the imputation, I not as a personal atl?ri>iil, hut as an indignity I to ills divine Muster, from whom he hadde rived ills apostolical commission, itisiim to Uit* height ijt ilil> g,enlargement, a.ki losing jsigiitol himself in tlie grandeur of his office, : lie boldly ;-xe!uims: "Now then are we iniibassadors for Christ, us (hough (jod did beseech you by us; wo pray you in Christ's stead, lit* yc reconciled to Uotf." He whs tin |ambassador for Christ, not on Account of his genius, or learning, or indomitable courage; ! nor yet because he iccelved ills credentials alI reetiy from the King and Head of the Church, i Ills commission would have been cqiiuliy [ valid, if some parsing Elijah hail ca*l his I mantle noon him,as llo sal at the teet of 1 Gamaliel.

The widow of Zaiephalh as well as Ihcslcrn and terrible Elijah : ; Mary, who sal at the feet of Jesus, ? ? well as ; Janu s and John, whom lie surnamed Sous of Thunder; in a word, the private Christian,as I well as the officiating minister, has the prom ise ? !" the Master's pruscuee.

Here, in tlil*. inner court of IiIk royal palace, the Iimid | Huppltf.iit Is encouraged to draw near, and | touch the golden sceptre, and permitted to i hear this gracious words which proceed from [his lips: "What is thy petition, and what is I thy reuuest?" "Know ye not," says the iiposi t o, writing to tiie Corinthians, "that ye are I tl'ic temple of God, and that the Spirit of God jdwe.lctli in you?" In the same Epistle, he i speaks of their bodies as "members of Christ." ill is impossible for language to express a ; union more intimate?a union which elevates t:ie least in the kingdom of heaven to a position of inconceivable dignity. "For both lie that saiictiiiclh, anil l.hey who are sauMtitled, aie all of one; for which cause lie is not ashanie.l to call them brethren, saying, I will declare thy name u.ulo my brethren, in the midst of the church will 1 sing praise unto thee." Kven those who are thus honored as members of Christ, have little or no conception of ; the transcendent dignity to which they have I been advanced. When he shall sit upon the throne of his glory, and separate the nations one from another, lie will commend the rightI eous for inuiMering lo his necessities; and to i their expressions of surprise and inquiry, will answer In thCFe remarkable words: "Verily 1 Isiiy unto you, Xuasir ucli as ye Imve done it unto one of tlie least of these my brethren, I ye have done it unto me." Seeing then lie | tlius Identities himself with his church, me i we not authorized to say that tie is present in I the person of every devout worshipper in Litis i assembly ? It is routed of Thetaistoeles that, on the approach of the l'ersian army, despairing of successful resistance, he advised tnc Athenians to betake themselves to their ships; r.ud when they had all embarked, lie exclaimed with an air ci triuinpli, pointing toward the vessels, or floating city, "My count ry men, | this now Is Athens!"' Such material as this, and not wood or stone, graven by art and I man's device, constitutes the church which we thisday publicly aird solemnly dedicate to the sertrice-of <iod. chilst, tiierefore, is present in the character of all those who love him in sincerity and truth; who are members of the mystical body, and lively stones in that, spiritual buildiug which rests upon Uie foundation of apostles and piopliets, Jesus Christ himsell being tiie ehiel corner stone. j lie is present, we observeagain, In his word and ordinances. If'"a good hook," as another has said, "Is the precious life-blood of a master spirit," "an Immortality rather than a life;" ii the author of l'aradlse Lost, whom we have jnst quoted,still lives in that immortal e|>ie; if poets and philosophers are "the dead, but sceptred sovereigns, who still rule our spirits from their urns;" shall we not own the presence and power of him who is the author of tiiet volume called, by way ol pre-eminence, the Book? shall we glow with the inspiration of liorner and Demosthenes, ol Virgil and Cicero, of Milton and Addison; and not feel our hearts 'jurn within us, when he who spake as never man spake,expounds to ns in all the SciTptures the things concern1. i,. w. .11 I Among the wonders of the age In which we ) have the good lortune lo live, is an instruj nii-nt, or tie vice, which makes the slightest whisker audible at almostany distance?from Js'ew Vorkto Boston or Chicago. And can we not hear the still, small voice of the spirit, as it speaks to us in the llook,this great whispering gallery, or celestial phonogiaph'! Jesus Is present in the ordinances of his house. He p>csidt s at that sacred feast which is celebrated i.i his i.ame, and by hisauthority. We cannot see hnn wlih the natural eye, but to the spiritual sense lie is as 'realty and truly present, as when he sat down with the ] twelve in that upper ro6m at Jerusalem. On I such occasions, u may be said with emphasis, "Surely Ubd is in this place." An uiigei would consider It a distinguished honorand privilege to participate in tills royal banquet, which the Lord ol? angels and King of saints thus honors with his glorious preseneo. lie is represented, we observe again, by the Thud 1'erson, 111 the adorable trinity, the blessed Comforter, whom he promised lo send when he should return to tne Father. Acjcordingly, on tiie day of Pentecost, thuie "came u sound lioni heaven as of a rushing, mighty win J; aud It filled all the place where them cloven tongues like as of tire, and itsat i upon each of thein." This is the Shekinah of | the Christian Dispctualion, no!, eonlined to one temple, or one denomination of chris1 tions, Out the joy and glory of the church universal. if the thought were lawful, what an unspeakable privilege should wo esteem it to have the personal presence of the Master ou this occasion! And jet remember his own words, "Jt is expedient for you that I go away; for if 1 go not away, the Comforter will not come untc you, but if i depart, 1 will send him unto you."' We have, then, the authority of the Master for asserting that his departure was expedient for the Church ; and that his absence is more than compensated by the plentiful unction of the Holy lihost. May the house which we are now dedicating receive this Divine consecration, this baptism of tire. And may every heart in this assembly, animated by a common Impulse, utter the sincere and fervent petition : "From sin and sorrow set us free. And make thy temples worthy thee.'' The age in which wc live is truly remarkable. fine of its most noticeable features is the number and variety of public improvement*. The whole country is a network of railroads and telegiaphs.

It is for the purpose of dedicating this Church to the service of the Most High God, that you I arc here to-day. We extend you our sincere congratulations on this most auspicious event, and. especially, in view of the fact that this is an Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. But there is room enough foi all. We shall be glad to see other denominations following your example ? RnpUsts, Metho-i dists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians ? until a1 chorus of church bells shall ring out on the | morning and evening air; each one, it may j bo, of a somewhat dill'erent tone, but all conspiring in one grand anthem of praise, to which the God of peace and love may listen, well-pleased. A neighboring church celebrated not long since, with appropriate ceremonies, her Centennial Anniversary. On her Roll of Honor, were inscribed such names as Clark, and Porter, and Prcssly. and Hemphill, and Sloan, j her present beloved pastor, who has worn so long and so worthily the mantle of his verier-1 able predecessors. May the caurch which we now dedicate have a history equally honorable; and may it slnnd as many years, a monument to the piety and liberality of its founders, and a light-house, conspicuous from i afar, which some "Forlorn and ship-wrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart aga n." May this village, of which it. isthcglory and the defence, grow and expand unlil these silent forests.shall rewound with "the busy hum ! of mcD." I Herodotus, the Father of history, relates in the Seventh Hook ol his immortal work, that when Xerxes saw the Hellespont co\ered with his ships of war. and the plains as well as the heights of Abydos swarming with soldiers, lie was moved to tears when he reflected that of that living avalanche which he had precipitated upon Europe, otimatoJ at millions, not one would be alive ft', toe cud of a hundred years.
