Henry Evans, the Negro Preacher In the course of his autobiography, JJishop Capers refers to sonic of those remarkable character*, who may be fouiul in many parts of the South to shame our abolition ' brethren, nnd who are denominated " black preachers!." The account of Henry Kvans, of North Carolina, exhibits one of these. " ITenry Kvaus was confessedly tlie father of the. Methodist Church, white and black, in Fayetteville, and the best preacher of his time in that quarter, and was so remarkable, as to have become the greatest curiosity of the town ; insomuch, that distinguished visitors hardly felt that they might pass a Sunday in Faycttcvillc without hearing him preach. Evans was from Virginia ; a shoemaker by trade, and, I think, was born free, lie became a Christian and a Methodist quite youug, and was licensed to preach in Virgiuia. While yet a young anan, he determined to remove to Charleston, $. C.. thinkin rr llrt minrVif Qiir?- I ' t o ,"0,,v rwv cecd host there at ins trade. * * * 'This determined him to stop at Faycttevillo; and he began to preach to the negroes with great effect. The town council inter for rod, and nothing in his power could prevail with then) to permit him to preach. I To then withdrew to the sand-hills, out of town, and held meetings in the woods, changing his appointments from placc to place. No hiw was violated, whilo the council v s effectually eluded ; and so the opposition pnsSQtfd iiito the hands of a mojj. These he worried out by changing his appointments, so that when they went to work flieir wilt llwin Itim lin irnio iMuinnlii../. ? - r ? f """ povWlWftjW'UU where eJ?Q. * * * Happily for him, and th</ ociuse of religion, his honest countenance nml earnest pleadings wore soon powerfully seconded by the fruits of his laboftft"" Quo after another began to suspect t'ltcir servants of attending his preaching, not because they were made worse, but wonderfully better. TheclVect on the public morals of the negroes, too, began to be seen, particularly as regarded their habits 011 Sunday, and drunkenness. And it was not long bofore the mob was called oft", bjr a change in the current of opinion, and Evans was allowed to preach in town. At that time, there was not a single church eililice in town, and but one congregation, Presbyterian, who worshipped in what is called the iState-housc, under which was the market; and it was plainly Etfms, or i nobody to prcacli to the negroes. Now, 1 too, of tho mistresses, there weru not a few and sonic masters, who were brought to think that tho preaching, which had proved so'beneficial to their servants j might be good for them also ; and the famous negro preacher had some whites as well as blacks to hear him. Seats; distinctly separated, were at first appropriated to tho whites, near the pulpit lint Evans had alroady hccomo Imt?oO?J anil those sC\t8 were insuihciont. Itidood5, the negroes seemed likl-ly tp lose, their trencher, negfro though ho\vas Avhilo the whites, crowdcd out of their appropriate seats, took possession of those in the rear. Meanwhile, JCvuhs had represented to the preacher of linden Circuit, how-things were induoed hiu) to take hir. Jneotfrftg-Kbuso into the circuit, and constitute a church there. And, now there was no longer room xor tne negroes in tne house when Kvauft prenohed; and for tbo accommodation of both classes, I he weather bonfrdtf wore knocked oft', and sheds were added to tho house On either side; the! Whites occupying the whole of the original 1 building,. ; n<l the negroes those shctltf as;t | part of thw saiue Uouae. Eyau's dwelling was n slied at the pulpit end of .the church. * * It was my practice' 'to'hold a meeting with the blacks in the church, directly after morning pleaching, givery Sunday.?

Why is this sinful habit so common? Is it the mark of line brooding to swear?? What good dues it do to sweat ? Has the swearer forgotten that God has said " thou sllllUllot tlio limiio of tlwt l.nnl tlivdml in vain; fur t he Lord will not hohWum guiltlens that takotli liis name in vain." Covotousuess, perjury, tlieft adultery and murder, alike forbidden, uro not moro ofl'onsivo to Clod tlian swearing. The forincr are crimes against mortals, the latter is an insult to tho Great Creator of all things. Mow wo would despiso ourselves to | be guilty of perjury or stealing, and should i we not be ashamed of profanity ? The time was when the yoang swearer would blind), and his own voieo would startle him, as it carried to his ear his first efforts at swearing, lie made a bad out at tlio start, but now ho is in practice, lie can ' cursolikoa sailor." Wo have lionnl a few women swear in our life time, and it made usfeol <^ueor. It souiiilcd strange. Header, did you ever hear u | woman swear ? Swearers, how would you i like to hear vonr wife, daughter, sister, mother " curse or swear ?" llavq they not as much l ight;to do so as you ? Young man, how would you fool to hear your sweetheart swearing? Would you like it? Does she not hear you swear? Why not you hear her? David says of tho wicked, " Ilis mouth is full of cursing," and again, " As ho clothed himself with cursing as with a garment, which cove ret h him. so lot it coma into his Lowels like water, and liko oil lit his bones." Nutiunal calamity sometimes eomos from swearing. Jeremiah pays, " because of swearing the land mournoth." Under the Mosaic dispensation, was it ordered that " as well the stranger as he that is horn in tholand, when ho hlasphelho'th the name of the Lord, shall he put to dentil," How many a curse the swearer invokes upon himself? IfOod should answer his oaths according to their import, how soon would ho he where his parched tongue would need cooling, without one drop of waiter? What an unruly member is the tongue ! " The tongue can no man tftinc ; it is ana unruly evil, of deadly pofroii. Out of the sumo 'mouth prodaaeeth blessing and cursing. These things ought not so to ho." If it not romarkfiblc that the naost favored aaiul intelligent of Goal's creation should bo the ' taiost. foul-mouthed ? Would at not lie hotter for some, if they wore deprived <>f the poworof spceeh. tlaain to have the power of abusing ns they do. such :i v.ohIo gift ?

The first ihiy of tho week was especially dedicated to its'udoration, which they termed tho Sun's Dacg; henco is derived the wordSunday The Idol of tho Moon.-r-Tbe next was tho idol of tho Moon, which they worshiped on tho second day oftho week, called by tlieni Moon s T)neg:?ami since by up, Monday. Tho form of this idol is intended to represent a woman, habited in a f-hort coat, and a hood, and two long ears. Tho. moon which she holds in her hand designates the quaflityi, The Idol of Thiseo.?-'Thiscft was at first tleilie<l at* (ho father nn<l ruler of th?

From this cnnic ] tlie Saxon words, Thisoo's Diwg, which wc call Tuesday. lie is represented standing on fi ^edoMul. as tin old, venerable sage, clothed in the skin of an animal, and holding a BCCptro in the right hand.

This hero is supposed to have emigrated front 'In* East, hut from what country, or nt what time, is not known. llis exploits from (ho greatest port of the mythological creed of the northern nations, and his achievements aro magnificent boyond all credibility. The name of the fourth day of the week, called by the Saxons Woden I)aeg, ntul by us Wednesday, ia derived from this porsofingo. Wod'on is represented in a bold n.u<t martial attitude, elnd in armor, with a broad Bword npliftod, in bis right band. Tho Idol Thor.?Thor. tho eldest nnd bravest of the sons of Wodon nml Friga, nnd was, after his parent!), considered fls tho greatest god nii)f>ng tho Saxons r?nd Danes.? I'o him the fifth day of tho week, called by tliom Thov's Deng, arid by us Thursday, was consecrated. Thor is represented as sitting on a throne, with a erown of gold on bis head, ndorncd with a cirule in front, wherein were set twelve bright burnished gold stars, and with a regal scentro in his right hand. The Idol Friga. or Freega.?Friga, or Frea was tho wifo of Woden or Odin: and next to hitn tho most reverend divinity among the iii.'iiuicii on sons, i',in c.s, una omor nortnorn nations. In the most ancient times, Friga, or Frea. was tlic same with tlio goddess Ilertlin or Earth.

She never perforated her ears to hong thereby a pendulum of bra.%s and glass; and the qn.lv 'ornament qu the little white hand, which needed none, was a plain gold ring, sacred to tho memory of a m liden promise.
