The Eiaqiirer says: W hother ambition is, upon the higlst othical grounds, a justifi Iiblo sentiment, his been affirmed and. denied. Milton denominatea 1t "ile -last Infirmity of noble Amind." The.ancients never ques tioned its legitimacy as a princi. ple of action. Sponsor speaks of the "sacred huncger of ambitious ninds." Shakspear M1aCes Vol. sey say, "By that sin fbil the an gels'-and mal<es Brutus charge jib against Ctemar as a crime that die was "ambitious." ' Sir W. Da anant finely says, "Ambitinn is the mind's immodesty." Otway sayo, "Ambition is a lust that is tieror qitenched." Milton's Satan avows that "T.o' regi Is worth ambition-though in h.ll. Sancho Panza's ambition was humbJ6r-o."!et thom say of me what they will-so my name but bo4n. plint and go about the world from, hand to hand, I care not a fg let people say of me whatever -t Paul has it-"in honor pre Segipg one another." :efore marviago women' are an,pre ambitious thl an men.

That incomparabicharacter drawn by the divine pencil rested his phi. losophy on Love, and found its )romptest echoes .in the female heart. Here forthe first time in the history of tho'wot.ld do we find a great toacher gathering around him a band of won4n-associated With him by the iom6st delicato aiid tender relations---so f'ar aj we' know with no pretensions to Intel. lect, but bound to him by a love which Rillowed him to the Tomb. We find him going through every city and village '* * "and the twelve were with him, and certain women, which had boon healed of evil spirits and itifirinities, Mary called lagdalene, out of whom went seven devils, and Joanna, the wife of'Chuza, Herod'a steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their sub. stance." Then there is that ex quisite account of the faith of the Syro-Phwnician woman with her "Truth, Lord; yet the doga eat of the crumbs which fall from the master's table"--and that vivid sketch of the woman of Samaria ait Jacob's Well-and the widow of Nain with her dead child-and that woman whom he protectel with that inflnito sympathy, "H1e that is without sin among you, let him east the first stone at her" atnd those sisters of Lazarus with their "Lord, if thou had'st been here, our brother had not die,d" and that woman "which was a sinner," who brought "an albas ter box of ointment," and "did wash his f6ot with tears, and did wipe them with the , hair4 of hoer heiad"-ind then (to which. wo have referred) ".fAry Ma~gdaleneo, iad that other Mary, wooping at the sepulchre."

This ariicle, is printed in t full inl another colutmn. It is the work of R. H. Cain, a black man, the editor of the Record, pastor t6r a long time of the largest col ored congregation in the city, and still a State senator flrom.Charles. ton. This article ias 1riting less than an artful appeal to the passions - and prejudices of the colored people. It tells them that they r are a peaceful and lawfabiding class, but it reminds fthem that "there isn otadt'opoteoward'sblood in the veins of the South Carohna t negro." Nor does Cain stop hore. With patient art .he taunts and b roviles the Georgia gentlemen w)ho are now our guests. Cain tells these "rowdies".1 I I that "when- a ever the Georgians want to test their mettle, they can find fifty thousand (negroes) in this State who will gratify their ambition for a riot in five minutes." Again, 8 he says that the negroes "are ready at almost any time to grati- a fy. those who are anxious for a fray." It is ti-ue that Cain pats the white citizens of Cha leston on the back arid damns them with faint praise. But in sneering at our guests, in abusing our friends, Cain insults every white man who Appreciates the laws of hospitality' and dishonors, as well as lie can, ev- t ery man who loves and respects t Charleston and South Carolina. it inay be thought that these are idle words of the negro Cain. But we remember the lte visit of the Sandniralh Club,- and have a vivid recollection of the conduct r of just sch mon as Cain during the last three years.

Soon she was back again, putting her bloody hands in at a hole in the top of the dour, when Eli was again ordered to shoot.

A trial resulted in their acquittal on the ground of insanity. POPULAR IRREVERENCE. One noods.only glunceo through the periodicidd and papers of cur rent times to discovor that totreat sacred themes and subjects with levity, and often with sheer irreve ronce, is popular.-Hardly can one find a sheet of public print in which will not be wounded he fo1ina of a true, devout, humble worshiper of God, who holds oa cred and abovo all trifling whatever is involved in lis being and service. Is not this a matter of more than more regret? Is it not a disgraco to our boasted Christian cviniza. tion, and pregnant with foresha. dowings of the ultimate visitation of the deserved punishment of offended Deity ? As a people we boast ofour Chris tianity. Our progress in refine ment of lifb, and our releaso from degrading ignorance and supersti tion, we justly ascribe to the possession of the Bible, and the tavor of the Infinite Creator there in revealed; yet do we, with a star:tling deliberation and vicious malignity, hold up to ridicule the source of our great good, and strive to pollute the fountain whence flow the blessing in which we revel. What inconsistency, and how odiousthis irrevereneel In this, a national fitult, wo are all verily guilty.-From high and low we hear the proine jost, the wanton use of Holy Writ for the purposes of sport, and sacred names in associations ofdefiloment. The printed sheet but panders to the vicious tastes and sinful rock lessness abroad in the commui ties. Where shall a reform commence ? Seeing that, as a class, members of Christian ch urches do not condemn these practices as they ought, a dark, forbidding prospect obtrudes upon our vision. Still, we believe many need only to have their at tontion called to the pirevalence of the evil to induce them to form alliantie wvith its oppressors. As the~ great, potential instrument for good or Ill, the press, should lend its aid in helping to undo the mischief which, with a show of ex cuse, it has helped to accompliish. We know that those who direct the journals of the day desire the public weal, and, as a rule, would gladly contribute to the estab. lishment and maintenance of good morals, purity of life, and reverence toward God. Do we err, then, in first of all askcing t,hat they shall carefully guard their columns from the intrusions of jests and articles which have a tendeney to make common the name and attributes of Deity, the word and doctrine of Holy Scripture, and the faith and practice of the earnest Christian ? Young minds, espeially, feel the influence of such things, and often gain a fatal bias from a randon thrust,aImed with cutting sarcasm, at Qbjects which erst they woreo tanghit to reverence. We lay no heavier blame upon the press, foi the- evil mentioned, than attaohes to all who' olaim to be our gobd and worthy bitisong.

ADVANTAOEI TO WOMEN or WEAltING M E'S CLoTns.-Not long aince a young nman was taken dangerously ill in New York at night. le was alone with his sister an( she was obliged to go after 12 o'clock for a physician. She trembled at the thought, and her brother resolved again and ngain to bear the pain until morning, but at last they felt she must go. The happy thought suggested it self to put oi her brother's clothes and take his loaded pistol. The result was that she brought back the physician, and he never knew until he reached the houso and she told him, that she was a woman. She said she had such a feeling of independence and safety as Ohe )assed men and women in the dark streets that shte immediftely prepared I complete suit to wear whenever shti sees tit.
