From the Southern Christian Herald. ON THE CATECHISM. How great the dignity of human nature, to appro ich so near to angels, as to be but a hide lower than they. Our excellent catechism defines the ciiief end of man's Creation to be, * to glorify God, and enjov him forever." 1. To enable him to do tin's, God hath given to man, corres[>onding powers. All creation, the earth and seas, and heavenly bodies, rocks, hills, and dales, with all that move on the faco of earth or traverse the paths of the great deep, proclaim that the hand" thut made them was clothed with omnipotence. All these, passively, and instinctively proclaim their Maker's glory. To angels and men, it was alone reserved to sr>eak and act forth their Maker's praise. To glorifv him?to make him glorious in the view of all other rational beings, who should hear orseethcra?and to enjoy him forever. The making God glorious, and enjoying him, ate inseparably joined. NocAiZf/, according to the constitution of nature or grace?or, I would rather say, God's moral go 'eminent, can truly honoi or glorify his parent, without enjoying him, that is, taking the greatest delight in his honor and happiness. To honor God, ami enjoy him forever, was the great design ol his creation, and the end man oui?ht evci to keep iu view and most sedulouslj follow. Let us therefore consider briefly, 1st the chief end of man, aiid 2dly how it is perverted. 1st. The chief ond of man. His very nature, even in its fallen corruptcd state, proves the design of his creation an exalted one. What powers ho possessos. To the eye, mun is a feeble thing, i. i i He walks erect, blooming in ncaitn anc strength, and beauty of form; and yet within the compass cf an hour?a shorl hour?he fades, and withers, and dies, The changing wind, the smallest insect, die noxious vapour bv day or bv night, brings prostration and death. He, whe but a moment before directed and controlcd thousands of contending legions, com. nianded the waked ear of the listening forum, attracted the eye or moistened the &ce of fond affection, lies still in death. Swifter tlum a weaver's shuttle man passeth away. 44 As a flower of the field he grow, oili up in the morning, and at evening is cut down and withered)." And yet, what a being is man. In a moment, swifter than the light of heaven, he passes through space, ascends from creation to the Creator?lrotn earth to heaven?from time to eternity. Contemplates the present, recalls the past, glides swiftly down into the future. In a jrwment, as it were, individuals, families, - ? i ?:? Kingdoms uiiu miaous, >>. uu an nivn accompaniments, pass in review before the magic lantern of his mind. To glorify him?God hath placed uian in a condition, and so surrounded him with circumstances as to render him entirely guilty, in the neglect of his duty. Although corrupted and depraved by sin, in all his faculties, mind, will, and affections are still bestowed on our nature; mind, sufficient tc know our relations and our duty; and will, U> yield to the impulse that the afTeCtions may give to it; and not only so, but God hath revealed to us (as we shall prove hereafier) the fact, that lie so loved the world as that he gave his only begotten Son, thai wliosoever bolievcth on him, might not perish, but have everlasting life." Heteachej us also,tbat he gives the Holy Spirit to then* that ask him, to guide their minds, and sub. due their wills, and sanctify their hearts. So that all men are without excuse, for noi answering the great end of their Creator. But 2dly. How this end is perverted. 1. Men live as if there were no God or whom they were dependent, and to whom they were accountable. They plan anc scheme and execute, as if born to live foi themselves alone. To build up their honoi ana wealth, and the honor and wealth o! their families, engrosses all their thought; and time and efforts. They regard ever) tiling as depending upon their skill and pre. denes and industry. A governing Providence, a God, a Being on whom they arc dependent for success, and whose name and government they are bound to glorify, never enters their minds. In truth, the) are real practical Atheists, and live and ac as if there were no God. 2. Men cultivate their intellect and improve their persons, and improve and cul. tiuate the persons and intellects of thei] children after them, as if'this world were their only and eternal habitation, and the gratification of their senses, for a few years only, tl?e great end of an undying being. Hence music, and dancing, and painting, a knowledge of Language and the arts anc sciences, are esteemed all and in all, whilsl religion, which teaches us how we ma) glorify God and enjoy him forever," is regarded (even by some of the professed followers of Christ) as a matter of minor moment, fit only for the aged, and the chamber of the sick and dying. Alas, bow aw. ful and soul-damning is the wicked folly o, those, who think that God will accent thr dregs of that life, wasted and ruined in the pollutions of sin and folly. 3. There is a class of men, who think religion has nothing to do with human goYcrnments. In our country, this class is large, embracing in it many professed Christians, and yet they hold that virtue is the basis of republics. Do they know thai religion is the basis of virtue ? and tnal there is no true virtue on our corrupt earth where their is no religion? a politician may lie, deceive, defraud, but as he does so in his public character, lie vainly imagines God will hold him guiltless. But what will become of the public man when in his whole character, lie stands before God \ Rulers are ordained of God to be a terror to evil doers and a praise to them that do well. Ail men are bound to know and to giorifv God?It is the chief end of man. KXOX. ONE OF THE UNCHRISTIAN TRAITS IN THE CHARACTER OF ERRORISTS. [A person having any acquaintance with ecclesiastical history needs not to be told that errorists are a disingenious and insidious class of men. Their character in all I ages, has exhibited uiorc of the wily cunning of the dishonest politician, than of the pure sincerity and honest frankness of the Chris ian. As examples, we take the | 'following from the 44Hartford Watch! man."] I . In his treatise on*Original Sin, Augustine thus speaks of Pclagius : 44 Observe how he frames bis replies, and notice how the hiding-places of ambiguity furnish a refuge for his falsehoods. Even we ourselves, on the first perusal, were just ready to rejoice in his answers, as contain, ing a true, or at least an amended exhibi. tlm /Inprrino in ones ion.'' Again, liUii V/* 4"^ ... ^ it) another treatise?"lie would almost have persuaded me that he holds to the very docrinc of grace in dispute, were it 1 not that in various parts of his smaller works he avows the opposite sentiment. But when his later and more complete ' works loll into my hand3, I perceived that j, while he continued to use the term ' grace J ^ j it was in such a general and ambiguous * I way that his real meaning was concealed, 'supposing that the word "grace" would screen hint from suspicion and dislike." i Concerning Pelagius, Owen says? 'J "In all probability he had suddenly in. fected the whole Church with the poison ol those opinions which the proud and corrup, . ted nature of man is so apt to receive and . | embrace, if God had not stirred up some . few holy and learned men, Augustine espc. fVniifltf. tr? ronol his , j erun\, iu mo ??, ? | | calumnies, and confute his sophism. And ,! although those who at present amongst us t have undertaken the same cause with Pc, j lagius, do not equal him either in learning , r or diligence or an appearance of pielv and ,! devotion, yet do they exactly imitate him in ? declaring their minds in cloudy, ambiguous expressions, capable of various construe. , tions, until they are fully exanrined, and , j thereon reproaching (as lie did) those that > oppose them as not aright representing ; their sontiments, when they judge it their 11 advantage so to do. | * Frjm the S. C. Herald. j A riASTER's DUTY 70 HIS SERVANT. No. 3. 1 In judicial meetings ofcnurch courts,there is every variety of shade of opinion, on this subject. Location seems to have more nmvrr "to five diversitv of oninion on this j r -- c<? ? ? 1 subject, than any thing else. Ah ! what is 1, man 1 Does a remove north of the Ohio, | or Potomac, relieve men from mental mists : | and fogs which had always enveloped them | in our heavy, hazy atmosphere? It cani not be. But it might be as easy to settle i the duty of masters to their servants, as tr ' explain the various shades of causes which 1 give variety to the opinions of good men > on this litigated question of slavery; anc I ye! agree comfortably on other points o! > duty. From judicial proceedings of chur > ches we can gather no fixed opinion. One > says the relation is "morally wrong" an' other says, " 1 don't understand the matte] well enough to give a rational opinion," &c ? while a good many of us seem to make th( 1 relation not only lawful but even desirable ' under existing circumstances. So that i 5 is no uncommon thing to hear those who arc 1 esteemed good and judicious men, say, "] would not live in the South without slaves . if I ims nUr> tn nnrehnse them." And nl .? * ? ? , ----- ? 1 thinking persons agree that it is almost im - possible to live here without using this kinc of servants. The christian church, anc indeed our whole country is at this time ir j a very undesirable condition on this ver} ( subject. The man who accustoms him I self to look on the fair side of things p rejoices that this investigation is going on p His political creed informs him " that cr p ror will be harmless, if truth be left free tc 5 combat it," and his religious creed admo , nishes him to uprove all tilings, and hole fast that which is good." Several classes of individuals are interest ? ed in this discussion. 1st, those who conclude ; their duty fully done to their servants wher they have in a very stinted manner dealt ou j to them a bare sufficiency of rough clothing j and course and cheap food, and as to theii spiritual wants, that matter is kept in perfec silence. There is a 2nd class, who with z stupidity equal to the former, and without any impartial examination conclude thai k slavery is icrong?the relation and accursco relation, and that God's curse must eventu. ally fall upon those who own slaves; and this class cannot bear contradiction, but fre. quently entertain very severe and perfectly 1 unauthorized opinions respecting those whe hold slaves, or these who differ from them \ on this point- Yet strange to tell this class are generally the farthest of all from having J a true and useful sympathy for the slave, and too generally it is true that whether an African at death ascend to Heaven or descend to Hell is no matter of deep concern jJ to them. Some one else must attend to this. k; Again, there is another class, and these t i are generally professors of religion, conI cerning whom you can see nothing amiss, j even on the most intimate acquaintance, : except tlrat they seem to think strangely ' respecting their slaves; and although kind 1 to them respecting all their bodily wants, ' yet seem strangely to forget that their ser! vanfs have Immortal Spirits destined for glory or wailing, and who from custom or : something else, can see a negro die, to all human appearance uninterested in the merits of Christ Jesus, with such an apparent indif 1 ferencc that you cannot but stare and gaze at ; at ihem, and be led in your own mind to con1 elusions bearing hard on their religious pre| tensions. Yet only for this apparent indifference to the slave's spiritual interest, you would be willing to write them " brethren in 1 the Lord.''?We suppose that it is this class 1 who have given an occasion, to those who were seeking occasion, to stir the worst feel' ing<?, an&.fo write the. most bitter and di I visivc things on the subject of slavery. j i Hut there is another class and a very j I interesting class, who seem to be most j j tenderChristians; these arc eitherslavehold- j ' crs or may become so, yet arc at a painful ! stand[, respecting their duty to their ser- i j wants. Who seem to show every desirable 1 ! degree of willingness to perform even the j j most difficult duties to their servants, yet are j not fully assured what that du.v is. If there? j were but one such person within the scope j i of our knowledge, the church "which is > j tho ground and pillar of the truth," should | ] endeavor to relieve the difficulties of such ; j person and" guide him into all truth."j j Why is it, brethren, that the church cannot j ! come nearer to one sentiment on this point j . than they do ? Surely the Sacred Scrip'urcs j deal largely on this very point. We fear j \ that some leaven which has wrought an j unhallowed influence, has somehow intro- i j duccd itself into the bosom of the church! ! on this question. Although " the Priest's i 1 1.x 1.-nmvl?il(ro mwt 11ir>V ctlOllift : I |l|#^ OtiUUlU l\W|l AUVhiwu^^uiim I.ivf wi.wnvi 1 receive the law at his mouth, because he is j the messenger of the Lord of Hosts," yet j I somehow on this question wc are as 4i dumb dogs that cannot bark," or if we do bark, J it is a sound of distraction rather than a j "certainsound" such as should arouse the : church to her duty. This question seems as a modern Goliah j to talk about, and fright, and defy the ar-; | mies of the living God : and as Israel did every one of us seem to flee at his approach.! Hut it must be met, discussed and settled. No man can tell us where slavery will end. j - From present prospects it seems destined to j continue an indefinite period in the Church. We must, then, as overseers of the Iloly Ghost, do as the Apos.les did, charge the master with his duty, and the servant with j his duty, and in the exercise of a needful discipline make the Church privileges of the parties respectively to* turn upon the I prompt discharge of the mutual duties of i their station The master and servant j j must dwell together in the christian Church; i and co-operate with each other in the proper discharge of their duties. For we have before us abundant evidence that nothing is g?/nerZ,but much lost, both in spiritual & temporal things by forcing the master & servant J to scjmratc for conscience sake. Our brelh! ren of the Reformed Presbyterian, and As! sociate Churches, have tried this experiment ! to no purpose. The consequence to their i Church has been, that a good portion of i their former ground has been deserted, the members of their communion have been i forcedto dwell without ordinances,altogether,, ; or make a general emigration; which to: themselves, their country and the Church of j God. was in very many cases exceedingly \ hurtful, and nothing (we deem it) could have I reconciled the mass of the people to attempt < , these,rin many cases, disastrous removals, j ;! except a silly idea that in fleeing from a ' slaveholding country, they were authorized I 1 to view themselves acting like righteous! ; Lot, when flying from ^Sodom and other . devoted cities. But all these disastrous re-: morals, so far as we know,have never result-! i ed in the conversion of a single individual, ! I bond or free, but have, we fear in many, f cases produced a self-complacent pharisce- j - ism, in the free man, not the most consistent; i with the humility of the Gospel; and gene- j -1 rally have thrown the poor slave upon the ! ! cold charities of an unfeeling wprld, to wan- j ,! der about having the nnme of civil freedom, | i! but in truth a poor degraded object, for , i whom "no man takes care." So true is this II latter remark, that we do not suppose any ! 1 judicious individual will dispute tne poinr, i [ | that there is not among us a class of the ! , human family upon whom wc make the i 1! Gospel to bear with as little hope of success as upon the freed man, or manumitted neI, gro. Therefore, Christian brethren, dearlyj IJ beloved, with the Holy Scriptures in one i j hand and the light of fair experiment in the i -1 other, we dare not say to you under existing .! circumstances, "separate from your servants ] ,! and you will be blessed in your deed." ,j Those who sit in their studies and dream j . | of man and duty from mere theory of books,' > or those who stand at a point too remote \ . from the field of experiment, to enable them j V- to judge correctly of this matter," mav so j speak to you; butwe, who are in the midst, . of this matter, and who view all the ramifi. ? cations of this truly complicated subject,1 i i dare not thus speak to you. There is surely : i: a way by which the master and servant can 1 (t dwell together with the approbation of : God's word. Now this is still the point to t; which we come. ij W.F. j ANECDOTES. '! nr. nt ?/ i? ,i. ? _ ,r' _ i Dir. marsnaiL, auinor 01 inc ireausc on sanctification, in his early years was under j great distress for some time,through a consciousness of guilt and a dread of the divine ' displeasure. At last mentioning his case to 1 Dr. Thomas Goodwin, and lamenting the \ , , , O greatness of his sins, that able divine re-; plied " you have forgotten the greatest sin ofj ! nil, the sin of unbelief in refusing to believe , in Christ, and rely on his atonement, and ; ! righteousness for your acceptance with j ! God." This word in season banished his I j fears. He looked to Jesus, and was filled i I with joy, and peace in believing. ! True peace of min/l.?A friend once as-, rked Professor Francke, who built the or-' phan house at Halle, how it came to pass i j that he maintained so constant a peace of] mind. The benevolent,and godly man replied, " By stirring up my mind a hundred times a day. Wherever I am, whatever I do, I say, Blessed Jesus have I truly a share in the redemption ? Are my sins forgiven ? And I guided by thy spirit ? Thine I am? wash me again, and again. By this con. stant converse with Jesus, 1 have enjoved ! serenity of mind, and a settled peace in m\ ! soui. Much lahor. hut no profit'.?Walking in the country, (savs Wm. Jay of Bath) I went into a barn, where I found a thresher at his work. I addressed him in the words j of Solomon, " My friend, in all labor, ! there's profit." Leaning upon his flail, ; and with much energy he answered, " No j sir, that is the truth, but thct*> is one creep. j tion to it, I have long labored in the scr. vice of sin, bat I got no profit by my labor." " Then you know somewhat of the f Apostle's meaning, when he asked, what fruit had ye then in those things of which a you are now ashamed." "Thank God," a said lie, " and I also know that now being r made free from sin, and having become a > servant unto righteousness I have my fruit C unto holiness, and the end everlasting life." ?

A large white cat was moun- i ted on the cornice of a cupboard, at the far j end of the apartment, where he seemed to ' have taken refuge. He sat motionless with h?3 eyes fixed on the corpse, and his atti- ; tude and looks expressing horror and affright. The following morning he was found in the same station and attitude, and < when the- room was filled with officers of ? justice, neither the clattering of the soldiers' 1 arms, nor the loud conversation of the company, could in the least degree divert his attention. As soon, however, as the suspected persons were brought in, his eyes glared with increased fury, his hair bristled, he darted into the middle of the apart- ' ment, where he stopped for a moment to gaze at them, and then precipitately retreat- ) cd under the bed. The countenances of i the assassins were disconcerted, and they j were now, for the first time during the j J whole course of the horrid business, uban- ( doned by their atrocious audacity. j: Notice.

They act specially upon the Liver, when in a i torpid condition, carrying off a large quantity of ; bile, through the influence of the exceranttec; tion, which, if suffered to remain in the system. ' would produce either Jaundice, Liter Complaint,. Billious Fever, Fever and Agoe, or MBfc iiler grievous bodily affliction. & all cases of torpor of the bowels, they act like a charm. Inreoeat cases of Dyspepsia, they are a certain liu ny persons who were subject to violent attacks | of sick head ache, have bean much benefitted, and : several perfectly cured in a few week! \j tfcoir i use. They are highly recommended as a proveni tivo and cure of Billious complaint*. Persons j who arc subject to that distressing complaint, ] sea sickness, by taking a portion or two of them \ a few days previous to embarking on board the ! vessel, will be almost certain to escapo it. Fej miles can use them at any period. Without mi curring any risk. Persons going to sea, or to a ' southern climate, should by ail means Ub seeps i of these Pills with them.?Their virtues wiB re main unimpaired for years in any climate. No family should be without these Puis; a portion of them, taken occasionally would he the means of preventing much suffering from sickness. It is from ncgloct of keeping up regular psriaialtrc action of the stomach and bowel*, thus suffering to be absorbed and mingled with the Mood, ana*, similated fluids, that most diseases are prodoedd. Dr. P. feels confident that no person who gives these Pills a fair trial, will ever after feel writing to be without them. The testimony of than. ' j sands speaking in the highest trras of their eft. > cacy, might be added, bat the very high lapata. ! tion Dr. P. has acquired as the inventor of the j "Patent Vegetable Medieince Stomoehiem et Hej paticaz," for the cure of Dyspepsia and Liver complaints, is thought a sufficient guarantee l<* thoso wishing to make a trial of their virtues. They contain not a particle of Jfercuiy, or asm ingredient that does not act in harmony with health and oppose disease. Dr. P. wishes it distinctly understood, that those Pills possess beneficial qualities independent of their purgative effects; they are both tonic nnddeobstruent, acting upon the secreting end oxhalcnt functions; thus strengthening the patient, while they remove obstructions ?Medicines wliich possess no other, excepting cathartic qualities, debilitate the patient, and their repeated use lays the foundation of a long catalogue of Chronic Diseases. Dr. P. having been educated under the most ; eminent American and European Jfedical pro? fessors, and practised his profession many yoars i in tho South, where diseases of the most obstinate | cliaracter prevail, considers himself well qualified to judge on the nature of dieeaees incident to .. warm climates.
