I learnt from this bishop, that there arc within the walls of Constantinople not far from 1,300,000 souls. Now, said the bishop, if all these hundreds of thousands, could bo sent to America or England, for some ten or twelve years, they might perhaps learn something good, be delivered from the power of darkness, and become fitted to belong to the kingdom oi Christ. 14. I received a letter this morning from B. vartabed, the above mentioned bishop, whose diocese is all Thrace. In this letter heslvles mc, "The honorable father.'1 t ' ?"The illustrious preacher of the gospel,' etc.; and he begs me to overlook and forgive a misdemeanor in one of the young men in -i. - II:j. i i. i uk; nigu ovuwi, who now uppvuruu pwitent, nud he himself would be guaranty for Iris good behaviour in time to come?another striking instance of the confidence and kind feelings ofthese high dignitaries of the church towards us and our objects. Dec. 9. Went with Mr. Dwight and Senakcrim to Has Kay, one of the suburbs of Constantinople, and called 0:1 deacon K., the learned priest, of whose ordination with * fourteen orders, and of whose hopeful s'aic you have already been informed. The evidcnce be gives of being truly "A man after God's own heart,'' is becoming more and more decisive. He was well acquainted with the hopeful Armenian, mentioned in my journal under date of September 30th ; and lie said that the man's conversation, after lie had visited me, was so very remarkable that lie had writtten much ot it down; and raising his hand, he added in a lender and interesting tone of voice, "Whoever takes the gospel, and lives according to its hoiv precepts, becomes a very sweet man." This priest has the charge of a school, consisting of 375 boys, with some half a dozen under teachers, or assistants. A class of twenty, the finest boys in the school, were attending, under his more immediate direction# to the critical study of the New Testament. MISSIONARIES WELCOMED IN TERSE*. Extracts from the Journal of Mr. Perkins at Oomia/t. Nov. 19. We again rode six fursaks; crossed the mountain ridge which separates the province of Salma from Oomiah, aud reached Galavan, the village ofMarYohanua, the bishop who resided with me during the last year at Tabreez. Our attendant, who is a nephew of the Bishop and belongs in this village, rode forward to announce our cowing. A mile and a half before reaching Galavufi, the bisbop came full gallop to meet as; and as we approached the village, nearly all the men in it inarched out in procession to welcome our arrival. Their repeated assurances of "welcome, welcome, welcome,' were long and loud. "Were the the whole work! given to them," they said, "their jo) on that accouut could not equal that created by our coining." The bishop conducted us to his own house where a large room was neatly spread witl ' carpets lbr our reception. Every thing apr pea red very cleanly, and much cnro and labor had obviously been bestowed, in anticipation of our arrival. A dinner of bread, 1 butter, cheese, melons, and raisons, was irn. mediately spread before us. While at dinr nor, the bishop called his brother, a lad of fifteen, to entertain us by reading English. } The boy took an English New Testament * from his pocket, and read to us the third 3 chapter of Matthew, as accurately as most r bovs of his age in America could have read 1 it. We were alike surprised and delighted at the exhibition. The boy had never received nnv English instruction, save what ? O ^ 1 the bishop himself had given him since he and the priest returned from Tubreoz, four months ago, afn r residing 8 or 10 months in my family. IJoth the bishop and priest; ' immediately alter they re-ached home, eoni' mcnced, each in his native village, giving English instruct ion; and this hoy's prolicien( I cy in a (air specimen of the success w.hicli 1 ' has attended their clforts. That the Nes jic n noonlo lirivp fme talents and an , ^ ~ , , *' unquenchable thirst to learn, we have the " j fullest demonstration;?. "This boy," said the bishop, as his brother closed his book, ' i "I shall give to Dr. Gran'. I wish him to s J complex* his knowledge of Knglish, and '' study medicine." The boy is very bright, i amiable lad, and Dr. Grant has since taken * 1 him into his family. e ! In the course of the afternoon, my friends 1 called to welcome us to Oormiah, with whom we Itad friendly conversation. At evening, I we spread our fare upon our stool, wliicli we '* I used on the road for a table. The bishop ! had ordered a lamb to Ivc killed and directed my attendant to cook it lor the occasion. 111 A considerable number of villagers were in* 11 i vjted to partake wi'.h us at our evening 1 i meal. A iul just as we were sitting down, to ' [ crown the feast,our German brethren, Mes. 1 'srs. Hoerule and Schneider, rode up to the ' door, on their return from a lour into Kur' distan. Wo passed the evening delightful* ; iy in conversation with those missionary 1 ( friends and Nestorian guests. | [On the 20:h they travelled to Oormiah 32 *, miles, where the house provided forthem is r,.a comfortable one.

"To be sure," said ne, "i "vvisji un\u> iu uiiuu ?uui wu <i< ^u'ui ] religious devotions." f f Both the bishop and priest speak English ' j sufficiently to make themselves very well ' j understood. They appear exceedingly at1 i tached to us anil seem to take it for granted j ' that they are to live in our families. They ! are now of great service to us in assisting us 1 j to get our house repaired and arranged for ' . winter; besides they have become so intel1' ligent and American in their character, that j we find in them very agreeable companions, i We received many visits and prcs. j cuts, both from the Nestorians of the city, i and of the neighboring villages. Mooktasi, I (the pilgrim, i. e. to Jerusalem,) among the rest, came from Cieog Tappa. the village of our priest, and brought with him his little 1 son whom he presented to me on my visit to ' I Oormiah last year. "This child," said the ! old man, "is no longer mine; he is yours. lie is no longer Nestorian; lie is English. ' His name isiio longer Yohannan;it is John." * J _ w j The old man then told his son to read to me in my own language; and the boy took from i his pocket the English Now Testament and j read to me a chapter in an admirable man; j ner. He is one of those wliooi our priests j has been ins'rue ting in English, since lie ; and the bishop returned from Tabrcez. !, This boy I have taken into my family. He i learns lust, and is a very promising lad. I hope and confidently trust that Providence designs him as a burning and shining light . among his benighted fellow countrymen. | 21. The governor again sent for permisI sion for tho khan to call on us, and communicate his congratulations; but we were still obliged to-defer him until to-morrow, for i want of a place in which to receive him. 25. The khan called to visit us. He is j an accomplished Persian, and said ail the | i fine things of which Persians are so capa- , b!e, in praise of his governor, (who belongs to one of the most renowned lauiilies in the j kingdom,) and respecting the universal joy ! j which, he said, is spread throughout Oor-j miali, by our arrival. Respecting us, he i I said, among other tilings, <#Your eoni1 >*.??? Kuro i<a tlx- ricinir linnn ttip ' ill6 . n | world, hitherto, darkness has prevailed, but ! now the light has come." The khan doubt! less alluded in this iigure to the prospect of i temporal benefit from Dr. Grant's practice in medicine, and by giving secular instruction ; but we hope his remark will prove ; prophetic in a higher and more glorious 1 j sense. 26.

I have been much disappointed in- the j character of the Turks. When in Ameri-i ea, my conceptions of it wcho those of the most cruel barbarity and ferocity. I used to feel that I should always tremble to , enter the presence, of one of them. But ; my fears have not been realized. There are many things in their character that del servedly call forth admiration. Those in [ the higher ranks of life have much appar rent mildness, dignity and ease in their t manners. And the impression they make . upon a stranger is quite in their favor. It | ' is true they still love to domineer, and } have a disposition to oppress. And with r the scenes of the Greek revolution fresh in . our minds, we cannot acquit them of the charge of cruelty. Still, when their rage , is not particularly excited, as it was then, i! they are both capable of, and do often ex; , -- - hibh feelings of kindness and generosity. Aod. a? to honesty and integrity in dealing, I bel&e it is the general opinion, that they arc father more worthy of trust and-confidence than the nominal christian. , rresejrr state of the american tract society. The Executive Committee of the American Tract Society feci constrained to call the attention of its friends and supporters , to its present pecuniary warns. ; At the close of the. Society's year end ng on the 13;h of April last, the Treasury was ! short of meeting dues in the sum of ?2,303; 03. That sum is now increased to ?12,| 080 77, for. which the Society's responsi. i bilities have been, for the time being, as' sumed by individual members of the Coin; initlee. While such is the deficiency of thesocieiys means, i's plans were never so en. large. 1, nor the lields of promise opened helbro it so extensive. The circulation ??f ^ ' A^?ii/7y?P/7 T?%*n\\ rr,*l%, i?U" CO- 1<*I\ > CH.UWMII tt JJUUIij'i niufc . < . wwy* is exciting so deep an interest in our large cities and towns, and throughout the colmnuniiy, that the stock in the ^Society's Depository must be greatly increased, as well j as new volumes added, to meet the demand. J And besides supplying families, churches, ; and as-ooia-ions, tiie most urgent appeals, spread t>elbre the Society and ^nlortaincd ' at its last anniversary, are still pressing lor t the supply of our shipping, st&wi and canal j boats on our maratimc and internal waters, with Libraries, involving a probable expenso of not far from $30,000 ; and lbr which the Committee are gradtied to ob[ Serve that ladies have commenced subj scriptions of ten dollars each, in the hope I that others will do the same, to the number of 3,000, and thus complete the amount. As a commencement of the distribution for seainen and boatmen, the committee liave i already granted libraries to the amount of 81,000, lor the ocean, and $1,000 lbr our I internal waters. | The claims of the Blind have also born \ presented: and the Committee have rei solved :o appropriate 81,000 for printing Pi Ij giinis Progress in raised letters for their j use. i There remains also but nine months of : the Society's year for obtaining the sum of 835,000, which the Society at its las^ unni* versarv resolved to attempt to raise the present year for foreign and pagan lands, a sum judged the least which it could consistent* i ly attempt to raise, and which many who | took part in the meeting, in view of the wide openings abroad, were anxious to increase | to 845,000 or 50,000. Of the 35,000, the committee have already designated 83,000 lor Russia, in answer to the call of the Rev. Mr. Brown, now in this country, from St. Petersburg; and the whole amount received for foreign distribution since the commencement of the Society's year is about 6tf,T75 12. The comnHttce cannot but further invite the attention of the friends of Zion, of every name, to the duty of personal nativity in Tract and volume distribution. These publications themselves God is greatly blessing, and the presentation of every copy gives a happy opportnnity for a word of affectionate warning, or counsel, by which individual Christians may do much, through the divine blessing, tor the eternal welfare of men. It is to be hoped especially, that the circulation of volumes, which are furnished at cost, will be voluntarily undertaken by Christians in every part of the country, and prosecuted till all the accessible population around them shall be supplied. The Committee would s.'ill further invite the attention of the friends of the Society to the last Annual Report, containing a mass of interesting facts and documents bearing on each department of its operations, and evidences of the superadded blessings of the Holy Spirit, which must warm ami cliecr every unnstian nearr. The Committee feel that, to ail who look for redemption oi' the fallen world through the instrumentality of God's people, this Society now presents at once a most encouraging and^urgent claim for their pray, crs their personal efforts, and their liberal contributions, which may be directed in any channel of the Society's operations, according to the will of the donors.

Extracts from Xevins' Practical Thoughts. 1 habitually feel this necessity, but the other day the conviction came to my mind with strange power, and 1 said with greater emphasis than ever, J must pray more. It struck me with indescribable wonder that so little time should be employed, and so little energy expended in prayer, even by those who are prompt to acknowledge its dignity as a privilege, and its eflicacy as a means of obtaining good. It is not now as it was in practical times. We do not pray as Jacob did. He wrestled until the breaking of the day. Yes, his praying was wresliiug, ana it lasted ali night.

But prayer is not merely the easiest n ay of obtaining good. It is the only way of obtaining the greatest of all good. The subordinate necessaries of life we get by labor or purchase; but the things we most need are given iu answer to prayer. The one tiling needful is a divine donation.? We a-skj aud receive it. Now we labor much. Why do we not pray more ? Do we seek a profitable employment? ' None is so profitable as prayer. No labor makes so large a return. If you have an unoccupied hour?and you have many* or might have?by redeeming time you cannot employ it in any way tiiat shall tell so favorably on your interest as by tilling it qp with petitions to God. Yet when we have such an hour, how apt we are to spend it in unprofitable intercourse with our fellows, rather than in communion with God. It is wonderful that we talk so much, when "the talk of the lips ten- 1 doth only to penury,'" and pray so little, when prayer "brings a quick return of blessings in variety." O e Is there any thing attended by a pun r pleasure than prayer? One who knew said, "It \sgood for mo to draw near to God*' ?arid again, 41 It is good to siug praises unto God: for it is pleasant, and praise is comely." All the exercises of devotion are as full of pleasure as they ore abundant I in profit. But prayer is not only a means ofgetting ( good. It is such a means of doing good, j I wonder our benevolence does not lead us i to pray more. We are commanded, "as j we have opportunity," to do good unto all I men. Now prayer affords us the oppor- j tunity of being vnircrsai bcuefaetors.? Through God we can reach all men. We can make ourselves felt by all the world by moving the hand that moves it. In j no other way can wo reach all. Prayer j makes us in a sense, omnipresent and om- j nipotent. It prevails with Ilim who is , both. The tcorld needs vour intercessions. It lies in wickedness. Zion needs them.? Sho languishes because few j)ray for her 1 peace; few come to her solemn assemblies. Whosefamily needs not the prayers of its j every member? Who has not kindred that j are out of Christ? With such a call upon us for prayer so urgent and from so many quarters, I wonder we pray uo more. I must pray more because Christians, .whose biography I have read, liave prayed more than I do. God is disposed to hear more prayers from mo than I offer; and Jesus, the Mediator, stands ready to present more for mc. 1 If I pray more 1 shall sin less. I v///pray more. Tho Lord me help to fulfil this resolution. AS AMIABLE CHARACTER* Among the papers of President Edwards, there was found the following beautiful character. It is that of her who was afterward his wife:? They say there is a young lady in NewIIaven w ho is beloved of thai great Being that made and rules the world ; and that there are certain seasons in which this great Being, in someway or other invisible, comes ' to h<-r, and tills tier mind witn exceeuing j sweet delight;.and that she hardly cares tor \ any tiling, except to meditate 011 him; that j she expects, after a while, to be received < up where he is, to be raised up out of the world, and caught up info Jieu\ en; being assured that he loves her too well, to let her remain at a distance from him always.? f Here she is to dwell with him, and to be i ravished with his love and d<-light for ever. j Therefore, if you present all the world be- j tore her, with the richest of its treasures, she 1 disregards it and cares not for it, and is unmindful of any pain or affliction. She has a strange sweetness in her mind, and singu- j lar purity in her afiections; is most just and J conscientious in all her conduct, and you could not persuade -her to do ativ thing wrong or sinful, if you would give her all the world lest she should offend this great Being. She is of a wonderful sweetness, | calmness, and universal benevolence of j mind, especially after this great Clod has manifested himself to her mind. She will sometimes go about from place to place, singing sweetly; and seems to have some . one invisible always conversing v. ::h her. [ forth no such power in prayer, and we do ! not allow the repose of our nights to be in. | terrupted by it. It is not because our } wants are all supplied that we are so fee- i bio and brief in prayer?nor is it that God's beauty is exhausted. We are as poor as creatures ever were, and He as , rich and munificent as ever. His hand is not shortened, neither his ear Heavy. If prayer was nothing but a dufy, we ought to pray more. We do not prav enough to discharge the mere obligation j of praver. We are commanded to pray more ; than we do, aye, to pray "without coa'sinj." i But prayer, while it is a duty, is rather to be viewed by us in the light of upriritegc. And O it is such a privilege! What a favor that we may petition God and ask of him eternal life, with the confidence that we shall not ask in vain ! How strange it is that we no more value and exercise this privilege of prayer! It is astonishing that the souse of want, or desire of happiness, does not carry us ottcncr to the throne of grace, and that we should ever require to be incited to prayer by the stimulus of conscience. Oh! I wonder that we do not oftener go iri unto the King, whose gracious sceptre is ever extended towards us?I wonder we have not more frequent and' longer interviews with our heavenly Father. it is strange we do not pray more, when prayer is the easiest way of obtaining good. What is so easy as to ask for what we want? How could we receive ! blessings on cncaper terms? Surely it js j easier than to labor, and less expensive J than to buy. It may be hard to the spirit to ask of men. To beg of them you may ' . ' r? . _M_ a few likely negroes. 7"hose from eight to thirty years of age would be preferred. Any com. inunieation on tlie subjoct through the Post Office diccted to licnncltsviljo will meet attention. D. M. CROSI, AND. JJenncttsvillo 5th May, lS3d, 2d If. Weeding Hoes.
