York News, bave* become ao common with some of our .ministers ?bat they aeiaoievery opportunity to' introduce i them, much to tbo annoyance of those true worshipers who consider the Bible, and not the newspaper, as the proper : souroe for the subject matter of tho ser- i mon. It is not snffioient that matters of '. national import should' be descanted : upon by our political preachers, for, it i appears, some of thom consider it within their calling to enter into the partisan ] fury at present displayed in certain i Quarters against our civic authorities, .'he press and the platform are the pro? per spheres for the discussion of snob matters. The celebrated Edmund Burke was of opinion that politics and the pul- i pitare terms tbat havo little agreement. He very properly considered that no i sound ought to be heard in tho church but tli3 healing voice of Christian chari- i ty. "The cause of civil liberty and civil ; government," he remarked, "guins as little as that of religion by tho opnfu- ? sion of duties." And he "further said that "those who quit their proper cha- ; rauter to assume what does not belong i to them are, for the greater part, igno? rant both of the character they leave ; and tho character they nssnmo," an axiom tho truth of which is illustrated, wo aro sorry to say, in tho porsous of i many of oar prominent preachers. This 1 great statesman und orator considered i that this class of preachers, wholly un- i acquainted with tho world in which they aro so fond of meddling, and inexpe? rienced in all its affaira, on which they prono ii nee with HO much conlidonce, possess nothing of politics but thc pas? sions they excite. Tho romark, so far as regards tho experience of these mon, though applicable to the clergy of his country, iu his time, does not apply to our ministers of the present day; but : that tho introduction by them of politics into their discourses tends to excite tho posions und prejudices of tho people, which, on tho contrary, they ought to allay by Christian example, is evident. When will our ministers remombor the precept of their Divine teacher, that they cannot serve two masters? The sixth annual report of the Freed? men's Savings aud Trust Company proves that the negroes are not badly off at tho South. In the thirty-two branches of that institution now existing in the Southern States the total balance duo depositors at tho end of the fiscal year was 82,4.55,830.11. The total iu 18G6, when most of tjio branches wero in ope? ration, was only S 199,283 42. The freed? men not being by iustinct or education a thrifty race, these figures must be taken to imply u pretty healthy fiuanciul condition of auch of that class UH are willing to work. Nothing is further from tho truth than stories of freezing out ne? groes from the South, under-paying them and cheating them, tho fact being that iu many Stutes they are almost mas? ters of tho situation, can everywhere get good wages for every hour's lubor that they will perform, and, BO far from being oppressed, enjoy a state of things ' which the white workers iu other purls i of the world might envy. FIFTEEN GREAT MISTAKES.-It is a 1 great mistake to sut up our own standard I of tho right and wrong aud judge people , accordingly. It is a great mistake to mensuro tho enjoyment bf others by our 1 own; to expect uniformity of opinion in this world; to look for judgment and ex- i periauoe iu youth; to endeavor to mould , all dispositions alike; not to yield in immaterial trifles; to look for perfection in our own actions; to worry ourselves i and others with what cannot bo reme- i died; not to alleviate all that needs alle? viation, as far as lies io our power; not to make alluwauce for the infirmities of others; to consider everything impossi? ble which wo cnn not perform; to believe only what our finito minds can grasp; lo expect to be ?hie to understand every? thing. Tho greatest of all mistakes is to live only for tim?, when any moment i may launch us into eternity. HOTED ARRIVALS, August 'J. - Columbia Hotel-A. Boss aud lady, Charleston; CK W. Palmer, R. D.
