REVIVAL OF THE SLAVE TRADE-NO. X. ' f/ae wvar emu,4st be crried ino A.frk-a." European emigration now finds a more inviting habitation than the United States, since Rnow Nothingieni ba become a sentimont of such vital. ity among our people. Besides Brazil, it is patent. to evary observer that Algerin, Cape C'lony in Southern Africa, India, Australia, New Zealand, other East India Islands and British Columbia, or Fraser's River, have become the great magnets,- 1 which attract those who seak not only political rights, good cheap land and mild climate, but also cheap btere or rewie labor which cannot be found here. T o powers of Europe are supplying their Colonists with such labor by wholesale, at merely nomsinal prices-tho simple cost of impor tati.ou. In fact, France in Algeria, and England on the West Coast of Africa, as well as in her Great Colony in Southern Africa, and in the fertile broad valley of t'c Zambeze, are supplying negro apprentices without even the cost or trouble of importation. The apprentices are on the spot "to the manor born," yet they have to cultivate their own lands with their own hands, to furnish subsistence and luxury for the white Colohist. It way merit tho'remark, thit one of the proba ble motives which actuate the Governuents of Europe in thus retracing-their steps on the matter of "Abolition," and the "equal rights of man," is to stop the floodtide of emigration to the United States, by tendering the emigrant in other quar tors, not only cheaper land but also eheaper store tl,.,r than can be had here with the slave trade closed. This view of the case may likewise serve to explain England's finxiety to suppress the slave trade outside of her Colonies. She allows a few Coolies to Cuba, that her own merchants may real ize the profits of transportation, that she may cov er her designs-that her own universal apprentice system may be kept in countenance, but above all that Cuba way have within her bosom, a more re belious and inflamatory population than the Afri can to prevent Creole sympathy with annexation to thle Uuitud States. England's " apprenticed la borera " in her Colonies, way also give a cue to her dubious policy, ad matiiiested in her legislation and " Orders in Council," with reference to the negrocs of Africa. She directs all her efforts towards get tilg a suliolency of white masters in her Colonies to superintend Negro, Malay and Mongolian ap prentices or siamos to grow her raw cotton, and the tropical pruducts wantod by the world. France is imitating her example on a grand scale, and so are some of the other European Powers to a limui ted extenL - But most.of the remaining Continun. tal States are unable to cope with the British Lion whoso stomach is large enough to crave the land and labor of the whole uncivilized world for his morsel of prey. Not satisfied with her vast pos sessions of land and Mongolian labor in the East Indies, England has lately been appropriating mure soil and labor in China. In fine, knowing that labor is the only true capital, she is compel ling alI tho colored races to labor in many cases upon their own land, for the exclusive profit ot bar white Colonists. Those races must do it or perish as the American Indiana have done. Sile is also quite liberal in the political privilog g which she accorde to her Colonies. Profiting b) Ihe lesson of our revolt in 1776, the now grants her Colonies the right of almost exclusive sell government, and seemsa anxious to attach thems to Jier ratier by bonds of love, than by the chains o. lear. tilo also, apparently, looks forward to thi (i:ty with cheurfulness, when those Colonies nay hae able to stand atone and take their places among tho nationsof the earth. Wattusuch inducernents c onstitutional political .rights-chcap land-good climate and cheaup lalbor, thu emigrants of Euruope aire turning their backs upon tho United States. Nou, only is emigration hither ceasing. but the Iristi tare returnling to depopulated Ireland, where wages are highier thatn bere, andl our native Americans are floclitg to Frasors Rtiver, Australia,janud other - .lslandsd of thu Pacitie, in countless numbers. It jjas lee< coniutted by authorities who had a good opportunity tur esumting, that not less thian 5,0tl) Aunricanis hava gune to Fraser's River *alone. Perbaps an equal, or greater number of our countrymen now reside in Australia, atnd doubt less as many more have settled in other British -Colonies, whero there is cheap land and cheaper lot~or, than can be had here. There is a sort ot free umasonry amtong the poor every where, and es peuciatly amoung poor emtgrantts. If we fail to re open our slave trade. If we persist in refusing to bold out thu o idneoments of cheap land end cheap labor to white men at the South. If we longer decline to present these .temptations in an equal degroe with other States, my' ntot poor for Motrs at the North and poor native white mecn em the South he led to exl a r ate themselves mostly to get cheap slaves, or appreniticos elsewhere ? Austraia, New Zealand, Tasmania, L'drnco, end other Islands in the smooth P'acitie, nave as tnncn land well adopted to slavery as there is in Nurih America, and the European States are not only usurping that land, but they arO making apprenta ees uf the Malays-the Aboriginese, wno fare no better at the hands of John Bull, then the Indian formerly did in slavery to the eru.l Spaniard. But thae 3Malay Islander wakes a sorry slave, no~ better than our Indian does. England has estab hlsed that fact by oxperiwetnt in several of h ar - Pac~ilio Possessions, to the extent of exterminatung thae entire race of thu somewhat gallant New Zesx lenders. The Coolie has tackmn his pae as a labor Fer, but the Cuolie hiu.solf must soon mnaka waiy for Sthe African negro. Uicauso the miserable Asiatic is not at all comparable to the negro as a laborer, and so he will nut long be permitted to till his na ttye earth in India, China, etc., for the white man, hut must perish like the Indian, Spanish Mon grel and Malay. TLhe Asiato is about as fit for a slave or f.-ee man, as his Shaghi chicken-is for a game cock. Of the two, the Shaanghi is a better fowl than tbe Asitie is a manD, and while he has but little ctndu ranca or strength for labor, ha is yet treacherous and mutinous. Hie must end will be superceded as a laborer by the nugro. The tendencies of the age foreshadow the extermination of all the Inter mediate races end colors, between the extremes ul white and black-the one to govern as aristocrats, and thme other t-, serve as slaves-slaves to moder ate anti well directed labor-not slaves to the op. pression of capital, or to the tyranny of wanaton iower. It may be said that I htave too much re gardl for thu negro and too little for the Inidian, the Mongrel Spanitird, the Malay Islander, unad tiae Asiatic. Well, I confess tmy affection for Samabo is much stronger, than it is for those other human cattle. All the colored races now exist at the mucre suflerance of the white wan. That thing of get ting subsistene and luxuries from the land aund labor of others, is ta potential argument to per. suade the stronger wan to control the land and labor of the weaker. The Indian will not and cannot be a slave, as we all know from many experimnents taade in our owa Coloniis end the early Spanish Anmerican set taemtents. It wvas because the Inadian could not en dure toil cheerfully like the Arrienmn, that the lat ter was firat made a slave in the West Indhies antI l:z our own Colonies. Theo Miongrel Spaniard lias no where vindicated his claim to be treamted aither as a slave or as a freeman, and therefore he is en titled to' no consideration at our hands whenever we want his land. The Malay is equally unfit for slavery or freedom, and England is exterminating him, whila we are destroying the Indian and Span ish Mongrel. Consequently only the Asiatic and African remain to labor for the whmito man. Now 1 have no complaint to plofer against England for making apprentices of Africans and Asiatics, it she will only allow free trade in them--give us and Cuba and Brazil, free competition with her self and France. But I do protest against her muonopoly of all the labor and land too of the only racos which can sErve the white man. The strong white mna will not permit his feeble brother of the sama skin to exist when food be comes so scare as to place both upon short allow. ance. The history of Europe until recently was but the tale of filibustering migrations. Itecall the movenientsof the Dorians and Pehasgi in Greec of the Cartliagoians end Rtomans in Italy-of the Northern hordes who overran the Western Emipire -of the Saxonas, Dance an~d Normans in England ? Was theo Partition of Poland any thing but a sue esful filibustering eapl.oit by the strong white mltan against the weak, to appropriate the land ofI the latter and toat fearful oatent even the labor ?. How tuany Voles are now slaves upon the very land they once owned ? It will do therefore to talk about the right to live-the right to enjoy all the fruits of one's own labor, only as among whites or egurdsn and nmong them only on condition of being permitted to exterminate or enslave the colored races and appropriate their land. If any one is horror struck at the summary man ner, in which I have disposed of the inferior races, I hope some one will prescribe a dlose of paragoric to comnpose his delicate nerves. Ue must be one of those "sangary philanthropists," as Carlyle calls a particular class of reformers in the present age., who is opposed to reviving the slave trade, on ac count of Its uannwernlity. Lest no phtysician may be at hand to treat his ease, I will undertake the task myself by reminding bite that the very land which . te now owntes, if hea be a freeholer, or upon whitch he labmors for his subsistence, with hand, or headil if he be not a freeholder, was taken hy himn or his I fathers from en Jndian without giving value -re- - esived for it, and that it was taken lay either farce or fraud, no matter which. I will further say to him thas the present generatioa have as much mor al right to provide land and labor for their pos terity, as his father had to provide them for him. I That no American has any title to bis land'as 1 -ainst the Indien, nor slave holder any title to th labor of his negroes except the title which the. sword gives. -Does it not esette a sentiment of a W to think that the abolitionist' of the Nrorth Wstasflo coupanetionsabout not onlyrobbingS 1 lbar~. Jiar o Jhulad. butlso eatI n5 his throat. i nil thin assumiig to reproach us for not only paring the negro's life, but -also) making a civil ed ling otf hinm. Yet the negro worihippers are laiy., quoting the openinug passare of the Deelu ationum Of Independunce that "all menare horn ee andi equal.," At-stract morality anmnts to othiOg as iar as the rights of the colored races ro concerned, whenever the subsistence and luxu jes orwhite men are involved. The big 1sh of the Sea, eat up the little ones. Phe Eagle, Condor and Hawk devour the birds of he air. The. beasts of the field prey, upon the ,entle lamb and the timid doe. Aau-prou-i man -not only preys upon all these, but hi also oroys tpon his own kind. Th- strong white man has ,reyed unnccasingly upon the lives, labor and land f the inferiar races for the last three centuries specially and the destruction of the colored tribes uas lately progressed with renewed energy. Theso trefjies patent to the school boys. Therefore, )h! ye tender-hoarted, sugary, anti-slave trade noratists who hold an Indian's land and control l negroes labor, do not censure lme for telling you he truth! It is well enough now and then to re iew firet principles and to let the "latter day aints," behold themselves in the gloss of truth. " Distance lends enchantment to the view," Vut no distance of time or spaco can ever lessen the cnormity -of the aistract wrong, which South orn land owners and slave holders have inflicted upm the Indian and Negro. Hence, sweet-ton gued gentlemen! you must take things in the concrcte, or you milst be ashamed of yourselves, if you will exercise either judgment or memory? But I shall again prescribe for your sick conscience. The discovery of America and the discovery of the passage around the Cape of Good Hope pro bably had.wore agency in abolishing white slave ry in. Europe tha.n any pressure of bubsistenceo up on land, especially in soine of the States in mid dle and Southern18uropc. After those two events, the white man acquired a spirit of maratime ad. venture, which urged him into new onterprises and brought him into conflict with all the colored or weaker races of mon. Those conflicts established his superior prowess, and since then the C-mcas sian every where has claimed equality as his nat ural right-hus struggled to rank as the peer of his fellow. The Serf then commenced to assert his right of expatriation at least, and from that day he has also been constantly usurping the land and enslaving the labor of all the inferior races. So, that no* in 1859, the prospect is flattering for the white race at no distant day to lord it over the habitable globe. The migration from Europe is so ceaseless and rapid in this age of steam thn t ore a century more she will have become so sparsely populated that slavery may be re-established there, and I predict the ostablishment of negro slavery in that white man's home before 1959. So heavy has been the draft upon Europe for emigrants to distant lands that several States of thait Continent now have loss than IOU inhabitants to the square mile. The present attitude of France and England on the subject of the negro and Af rica portend that a new era is dauning upon the world. When negro slavery shall have taken root in France and in the other States of Europe, per haps there will then be some such thing as consti tutional liberty for the white man throughout the whole earth. Africa is beginiug to feel the impulse of the white man carrying MJfan Carta with him and urging the sentiment of subjection to servi tude of an inferior to a superior race. All right, but let us have a few more Africans too, with which to plant slavery throughout this Western Continent. 'Then we will ruise no objection to England, France and the other Powers of Europe appropriating the land of all Africa and Southern Asia, as well as the labor of the negro and Coolie apprentice. But until England in particular shall onsent to such reciprocity, I, for one, will continue to make war upon her monopoly of Asiatic and African labor. The white race need never, and probably will never again, to any considerablo extent, suffer for subsistence. Steamships can now speedily trans port the excess of population from one Continent or Dland to another, where land is more abundant and rail roads can then us readily curry the emi grant into the interior. No more millions will per .bh of faminne in Ireland, or elsewhere. If they do. they will deserve their fate. White men now have the printing press, mail and telegraph to get information as to' the best place, whlither to emi grate for cheap land, or high wages. They also have every f~icility for quick transportation and revolvers, as well as other improved ire-arms to conquer land fromt the colored races, or to control their labor. The late acts of Enmgland and France ims the Citinese an.l Japanetise wasters.are as otuti n'us, urs their recent perfrmumecs in A frient. It would appeaar that hemceeforth Asiatie-s and1 Africatns are t' labor andu Europmeans to cijoy. Why should our white polpulatlion form any exceptionl to the general rule oft Caucussian atacendency ? While thle States of Europe (and particularly England) are steadily pursuing the policy of sppiopriating the land andI labor of the ioferior races, why should we adopt the half..banded policy of only appropriating their land ; But I forgot. Our yov ernacnt hlas no foreign policy. Still it is a policy with our peoplc to appropriate the land of the in ferior races and to uextend toward the tropics, lint why should it not also be the policy of our people to get more labor from Africa, or Asia, as well as more land from the Indian or Spanish Mongrinc sin they ase both so unfit for slaves ? Why shoulld Soutlhorn slave holders hesitate longer about enlarging the area of negro slavery, by extending it into the territories, and into some of the present free State', which could he done if the slave trade were revived ? Why are they not alive to the importance of planting slavery beyond the [nited States, and especially in Mexico or Central America ? Why contend for the abstract right to extend the area of slavery in Kargas, Californim andl in other localitics withoit furnishing the A frica, s necssary to .coumpiish it? The easiest wvay to attaint a " moral victory" over ab'olitionismn Is to revive the slave trade. Would the Irseh ret urn to the land of the Shamnrock if they could get cheap negro labor ton work our cheap land at the South ? Would they not ho inclined tom ilibuster the fertile territory owned by the mongrel Sp'aniards, and then enjoy themurelves in the shade, while at negro, once a savage, bmut now a rivilized being by mneatns of slavery, should work for themw? Would not thme German', who at present settle in the North-West, pursue the saune course ? Would not hordes of abolition Yankees come South for the samne pur pose ? Would not abolition then decline so fast that it never could he resusitated ? There wias a time when yankees and foreigners both uuot-ed Southward to get cheap land and cheap labor, but that was before thle slave trade was closed. Yet from the epithets with which some slave holders anathematize the slave trade (the only means of getting wore slave States) it would seem bat thley apprehend if another slave State were Irected out of our territories, or that if one, or two, rr three of them wecrc carved out of Mexico and Central Autuerica, it wuld deplrecinte thme pric-e and hire of our p.resenlt negroes to it ruimous nuunt. Oh yes ? The anntexati~on of Floridta nud Loui-in ma and oth~er sieve States huts duone an. TIhe estab'lish met of slavery in Cuba tund Brazil has rnuned the value of our slaves, has it nutI? We coul'd now get uffe cheaper from Brazil nud sugar ebmenper front Cuba if slavery were abolished there, or if the lave trade had not been kept open so long by those two States, could we not ? We could then give England a bale of euotton for a sack of East India em-ffte or for a barrel of British Indi~a raisedl sugar, besides- paying her freight and exchtnge between East India atnd the United States, which' is a little longer voyage than from the Wecst Indies or Eruzil to our aihores.

Yet our own Navy is on the coast of Africa to furtber these designs and Southern Slave holders as well as Northern grain growers are- shouting amen? If Detnostheese were living at the South, he would probably say to our people, what he did to the Athenians for a kindred folly, 'iThere is a thtick darkness, it seems, bet ween you ad the truth !"

The Slave Trade Agitation. f The columns of this paper have been libcraflly mpplied, for a number of weeks, with arguments 3pon this questi n P) nd ento. The reasoning if "smio-and the demonstrations orfR. G. HARPEn save, we trust, received alike the careful consider ation of our readers. Roth of these writers evineo tbilities commensurate with the importance of their uiject; And in publishing their views, we have lone what we thought was due to the question in ieand and called for by the wishes of some of our miost esteemed subscribers. But we confess that neo are now growing tired of the discussion, and we have reason to think that very many of our readers fool as we do. Enough has been written, nough has been said ; or at least as much as the present condition of the Slave Trade excitement would seem to demand. That excitement, which Siared up with some display of feeling on the ar rival of the iranderer's cargo, has almost entirely died away. Indeed it scarcely extended at any time in South Carolina beyond the limits of Edge field. Few, if any, of our country contemporaries throughout the State have given the subject more than a passing notice. The Adrertiser has pub lished more about the matter than all of them combined; and this for a very obvious reason: They had no proximate cause, ns had we in Edge field, to broach the question. There was no ex citement, no feeling in the premises, one way or the other, among their readers; and there was consequently no seeming necessity to argue the question. In fact, so far as we can gather, almost the entire press and people of the State look upon the revival of the African Slave Trade as a totally useless and impractical issue while this Union shall continue to stand. Those therefore who are oppo sed to it-and SZ3.aron HANNOx D thinks they are nine-tenths of our population-feel little or no concern about this W1"anderer affair except in so far as they depreOat. the open violation of a law of the land. They know that, as matters now stand, such instances, even though partially sue cessful, are no harbingers of a Renewal of the Slave-Trade. They fel, on the contrary, that the direct tendency will be to diminish the chances of a renewal. The arm of the Federal 'Government is outstretched with redoubled strength for its sup pression upon the occurrence of any-such attempt to defy the existant law. The vigilance of the navy officials is increased ten-fold. The guards and checks upon the illicit trade are at once made more efective at all points. Hence the quiet un oncern, in appearance, among the masses of our people who are opposed to the renewal of this .traffic. They know that these occasional spasmod ic efforts at introducing African savages amongst us will result immediately in abortion; and that each abortion will throw an effectual 'damper' over the continuation of such efforts. But ikmay be claimed that the 1"arnderer affair is not an abortion. May be not. We see that the parties implicated have lost something considera hi by the confiscation of their ship. But perhaps, like MR. Sxow among the Etbiopean Serenaders, when he was bothered to answer a certain "conun dibum" propounded by Ma. JonvstcxG, if they "gib up de ship," they "dont gib up de niggers." How this may be, perhaps there is no one at this time capable of telling. Soine of the Africans have been taken into custody in Georgia, andt others of them may yet he captured. We do not say that they will be. MR. ConnR, sunpposel to be concerned in the importation, is under arreat, and others of the lV-ndrer's crew are in linbo. What prices have been paid for the A fricans that havc been sent into the interior, or whether any prce have yet been paid, it is imapossibile to say. We ,hounild thninnk that thomse prices ill ibe very lw; undler thu circumstanes of tine case, they oght to beu. So that whluin the wholel troubele of the enterlirize, its expnsesL~, its lInsses, its delays ofC paymnennt, its forfeitunros, conme to he counted, it manny appear thnat evemn tine Wuenndrer'u succeou has hen a very little thing. ifinndeed it has not becen but " the gain of a loss." Even admitting it to be a success every way, we repeat that its chief effect will be to decrease the importations for the next five or six years by calling into active operation the causes just mntionned. Thne common opinion of even the Slave-Trade advocates is, that thiese inportatjons should be, discountenaned as long as the present lnaw stands unrpaled. What are the chances of such repeal ? Let every man ponder for himself the soveratl poits innvolvedl in this considoration : 1st the op. position of the United North ; 2nd, the great dis traction that would inevitably occur at the South oven In the cotton-.Staites proper; 3rd, the certainty of our losing Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Ten nessee, Missouri, and perhups other States, on auy issue lookcinig to a Revival of the Slave Trade; 4th, the nossity of a separation of tine Cotton States from the rest of the Uuion to attain a Re niewal of the Slave Trade, even if a majority of the people of these States were in favor of it,-which is niot the case ; 5th, the new contest with new Iea nures which any sunch propnosition to sepa~rate friom /are States would begot annmngs't us. We only suggest these points to the reflection of our readers. They arc as capable, as we, of putting them to gether and drawing ae correct conclusion. We doubt nnot their arriving at the same opinion with ourselves, viz: that the agitation of the question of the Slave Tradle is a bootless and useless effort. It is on these accounts, that we desire to discon tinue the publication of long articles on this sub ject as soon as practicable. Our spaeo can be filled with matter more acceptable to our readers.

The at tention of " Cum~vv " is par ticularly directed to these hrief but pointed ex tracts: "Nay, further :-although every man neessari ly believe, thnat every pa:rticular opninion whichn he holds is true, (for t'i bellevennny opinon is not truo is te snnne thning as not ton hold it,) yet can no nan be assured that all his own opinionns, taken togeth er, are true.

It is not an indlifferenco to all opinions: this is the spawn of hull, not the otfsprinng of heaven. This nusettledness of thought, this being " driven to and fro, and tossed about with every wind of doctrine," is agreat curse, not a blessing ; an irreconcilable enemy, not a friend, to true catholicism. A man of a truly catholic spirit has not now his religion to seek. Hie is fixed as tine sun in his judgment onerning the main branches of Christian doctrine.

A Catholic's Bequest. Mr. Wx. MCKzUxA, a wealthy citizen of Lan caster, died recently in that District. The Lan ceser Ledger learns that he has left the bulk of his large estate, which is supposed to be worth nearly $200,000, to the Roman Catholic Church, cutting off his needy relatives in LANcasTRza with a pittance.

The Anderson Gazette gives an interesting ac coqut of a complimentary serenade to several dis ti uished gentlemen who were present in that vil lage at the late session of Court. Major B. F. Pan ny,-Gen. S. McGowaN, and others, responded in eloquent terms. The reason of the compliment, was the advocacy by these gentlemen, of the Blue Ridge cause during the last session of the S. C. Legislature. Both speakers expressed the hope that the measure of aid would pass at the next ses slon. After an hour or two of music and good speaking, the company quietly adjourned for the ovening and went to bed. A tremendous effort will be made in the Legislaturo next winter to carry on this Blue Ridge enterprize by State Aid. We trust that the Edgefleld delegation will go down united in support of the road. If we are not greatly mistaken, the people of the District are in favor of it by large odds; and it is expected that our delegation will (in this matter) act as the people think. Hon. James L. Orr. The papers of Col. Orr's Congressional District have spoken out, in the main, in terms highly com plimentary to him upon his present retirement from public life. The Spartanburg #S)artan, com menting upon his remarkably successful career, says: " Look at him. Ten years ago, an obscure and young man, he entered Congress from a State whose refractoriness denied her influence, though she commanded attention from the intelligence of her citizens and the ability of her Representatives. Too inexperiened to have definitely settled his policy except upon general principles, he gradual ly took ground measurably opposed to the leading men of his State, and naintained it with unfalter ing steadiness. In the midst of bitter denuncia tion from ultraists, he persevered in elucidating his politics, until finally his Congressional decade culminated in the speakerbhip. Truly these were ten years well spent, having relation only to him self; but, to see, at the end of his service, a ct tling down of the sentiment of the State only tech nically different from the course he has pursued, is indeed a satisfaction and measure of honur to Iill his cup to the brim." The Spavrtu then holds out the possibility of his yet occupying a stili loftier position before the contry anad exptrtmes itself assured in the beclief that his great self-possession, sterling integrity, and splendid administrative talents will merit a record as fair as any Executive has left upon the pages of his cuuntry's history.

OBITUARY. DIED, in this District on the 11th March inst., Mrs. MAIY JANE HILL, consort of Mr. Hunity Ha.L, in the 32nd year of her age. It is a melancholy (hity, and we seldom record the death of one so aniable, so much esteemed and loved, as the subject of this notice. Boing possessed naturally of a mild and pleas ant disposition, and having in early life embraced religion, and sharing largely in the Many chris tian graces. she was thereby enabled to discharge the duties of her station, and to pass quietly, and nuostentatiously, the short time allotted her here, with satisfaction and usefulness to all around, and especially her iatediate family. During her school-girl days she became a subject of conver ling grace, and unaited herself with the Baptist Church at Red Batik, where she lived, loved and respected, a consistent and faithful member, "ever adorning the doctrines of God, her Saviour, by a well ordered life end Godly conversation." But in the domestic circle, in her own immedi ate family, and around her own fire-sidle, is the vaccuum greatest, and will the loss full most heavi ly. Disliclinesd naturally to mtix tnucha with the world, atnd delightinig especially ini her own homec, it was thaereo her virtues shonte b'righatest, anda her usefulness was perhaps greattest ;anid it may be sail of her truathifully, that tenaparally, as well as 5spiritualtly, " her houase was ever set in oruder." Death for her, therefore, hada nao terro~rs. as sihe contatantly lived in a state of preparationa, for whiatever, int the Pruvidonm e of God, awaited her; And although yet younag in years, seemed more fitted for the joys of Heaven, than the trying and pierplexing scenes of earth. A husband, with four lit-tle children, an aged Mother, Brothers and Sisters, and nunierouts rela tives and frienads mourn her loss. Anad while the dispensation is trnly niilicting to the mnother, and relatives and friendls generally, it is indeed irre parable, to the disconsolate husb'aid~Ind bercaveal little ones. But while we arc powerhosa to save, it is proper, and becomes our duty, to hbow in humble submnission to thto will of hinm that "doeth all thitngs well," as the loes to friends is evidently " her eternal gain."
