How finely, it will be ! si-en, the preacher took advantage of the i leaping of die fawn into the enclosure oftiic ' j cainp ground, as a shelter from the pursuit, \ of the widf, and \vit!? what beau y, carncs -; % ness and i .-oquencv, be seizeAopon that in- J \ cident to warn'suiners to 4 flee to the fold < * . i of God.' * Disembarking at Cincinnati, I set off i f on foot to e.\ptcn*e iho cavern of Kentucky j andJVirginiu. Travelling Inter one eveningj J than usual, 1 lost my way iir the midst o;: : M ' one of those extensive forests, winch still ] $ skirt some of those western cities. After wandering about for some time, on tinning j u precipitous ridge which obstructed my | course; I came suddenly upon one of! these sibgular*gathpnngs of the cfuirch m:K J ttuit, called camp meetings. .Colore me4 stre.ched a grove of tail pines-beneath J whose dark foliage, and'iastriking contrast; .v with the same, pitched numerous whiits tents' i embracing a level area of several acres in ! ex en-, entirely, devoid of underbrush, and i carpeted with the falling tresses of rhcover- ; hanging boughs. On one side of thisencio sure, several feet from the ground .1 plain ! lodire. ouadrangulary formed* of rough ! ': o . i v _ boards nailed to the trees with the pulpit in front, aud benches around the sides, for the ! c * * eiders and the ministers who wero'to ad- j dress ihd congregation: From this spot to j various points in the enclosure, stretched in 1 d:verging lines, the straight poles of Jof.v pin s, fdiixl for the occasion, across whose j I prostrate length, with the interspace df here : and there'a long drawn aisle/ were, laid, * the rude seats of those.hardy worshippers, j Innumerable ldmps.wcre suspended on all i sides of the encampment, blending their; * flickering light with the glare of pine torch- I es from the severed tents, where the evening's repast was in preparatibn, while mil- ! lions- of tire flies shot like ipiy meteorsalong the dark openings of the surrounding ! forests, and the eyes of the sleepless stars j - looked on* as il to wknesrthe devotions of i thf?t primeval temple. As 1 paused to survey the wonderful i scene, the wild iiowl of a wolf rang- through j the shuddering air, and a moment after a fl'.iwn passed mc> and bdunJing into trie en- j. closure, droppd down exhausted in one! of the open aisles. This ?singular ini stance was succeeded by u dead "silence, which was presently interrupted by the! voice of the speaker,, who had .just .fin-' isiied the last discourse of the evening, and i was about reading the concluding hymn*? ; ? . o 4 Welcome,* said the aged man, with compassionate emotion,4 welcome, poor, wea-! ricd and persecuted wanderer, to the refuge | and rest ye seek not here in vain ! , Ye did well ttf flee* hither from thy ravenous pursu- j er, (or thereby have y.oar days been length- j 'cued, and ye &ha!l yet range through the L * green places of the wilderness, where the I the hand of God bringeth forth the tender I i. 0 * ? j \ ' herb and tiie pleasant water courses, even 1 tor creator > such hs yo. Pilgrims of the j world, continued he, turning to his hushed auditory, 4shali the beasts tliHt perish be wi !scr in their day and generation "Uian ye, j win) are fashioned afer tlie image of the j * Ailwise? Flee to the fold of God! The i wild pigeon shrinks to her covert at the i scream of the wood hawk, and tlie roebuck j bounds fieetly frort) the yell of the panther, j l ' while ye, who are encompassed with many l foes, having eyes, sec not, and ears, hear I not, or heed not the voice of the prowler. Wot ye not that yevhke that poor pant g 1 hind, were hunted up and down in this dark j wilderness* of the world. Flee to the fuid , of God!

Vain were the attempts to depict the W- scene which followed the peroration. 7'hc j sighs and groans, the sobs, the hysteric , shrjeks of the terrified females, and indeed , the convulsive shudder of the whole asscm. b!y, 1 leave to the reader's imagination? or, memory it he has ever witnessed a spectacle so thrilling. A f r the first bust o: feeling had a little subsided, the tre iiuVjs L yet not unmusical voice of the late speaker was heard chanting that striking hymn: ! \ 4 Stop, poor sinner, stop and tli!nk> Before you farther go; * Will you sport upon the brink . - | Of everlasting wo ? M One listener after another joined in the; strain,- tili pres? ntly ten thousand voices % were blended in the swelling symphony. I have listened to the midnight peal of trie , roused ocean and trembled amid the tiiun- j dering of the Niagara, but never was my heart hushed to breathicssness, as by the living chorus of that solemn anthem. The place?the scene?and the rr.u ic of t ? c:i:? ?i._ VUSl CUUIT, tilling Hit; ucpuo v? nu mu ^ j forest with cchocs'of terrible warning, were ail calculated'to make a vivid impression j even on a mind the most obdurate, I sunk down on my bended knees, awe-struck t&d overpowered. It seemed to me that every voice was directed to m\ self, in eager imprecation to fly from the brink of the dreadful abyss to which 'hope never conies to all.' The services closed with the hymn, the worshippers slowly retired to their respective tents, and silence and sleep resumed their quiet empire; but there I remain-ed, jivetted to the earth, motionless, and** alone. Ye net alone, for the voice of a mysterious presence kept whispering in my f ??r. ft ^ to the foM of God' even the man. ! itory \stop!? of the thrilling hymn, rung: < like a trumpet from Heaven tluough tlieji chambers of my heart. J bowed myseli 10 tiie earth. and there oil night' long, amid ! i die gloom of that lonejy tores', and the !: moan of t:s solemn nines, gazed on tliu;! phantoms of niispent hours, imploring light 11 to my daikenod sp rit, energy to subdue its lierv passions?strcng.h to umr.nsk the i spacious, vanities of the world, and to fore, i go its momentary pleasures, for the uniman ? i ' giutible cycle of an eternal beauli'tide, tiilj1 morning dawned upon -my silent vigil, and found lift.' blessed with that inward peace wliich seems the antcpas! of heaven.1 j1 t .

M TRX DYING BLD~OT AMOTflER. \i Of nil the relations on earth, none are j c more sacred than that of a mother. If any i person this side of heaven, lias claims to su- ! < perior attention* it is an affectionate, pious, 11 aged, helpless, suffering, dying, mother, j' Sixteen days my mother hud been suffering | I keen distress of body. With the exception i i of o:ie? short interview, I had been absent;! ( but now called to gaze upon her dying foa- j e tures. I liad ever thought that 1 could com- j J mand my feelings oiwmy emergency what-1 s ever, but their gushing tide now overwhelmed me. Others told me that she was tr-\t umphantly waning for ti e chariot to take t im% home.; but I wished to hear ti e -.ver c testimony from her own lips. Again and v again I went to her bed side, look her hand .: in mkne, with a full resolution to inquire con. i iorning Iwr faith and hope ; kit as often did lie.swelling tide stop my utterance?the; scenes of infancy all came up in review, and hey seemed as it were but Yesterday. Her i sprightly step, her once blooming features, iicr soothing voice sfcemcd present before, j me, renewed in youililulness and vigor. The iiand so often outstretched to save me in the years cf childhood, was now growings cold?-the eye that oilce sparkled with rapture at m)fcinfantile sports, already half closed?the lips that first told me who made me, "and* taught me to say " Oar Father, who art in heaven,5' were about to be scaled forever in death?those imp csscd upon the feelings in a measure, which 1 shall nott attempt to describe. ()nee more'I stood by her bed side and with flattering voice, in. quired : " Mother, hate you still unshaken faith in God ?" But the tinilling name' of mother vibrated no longer upon her cap ; she answered no more by words or signs. Alas, J kissed the clay-cold hand, and exclaimed, " Farewell, mother, my much bel/if/./l ?nr>!Si i- 1j imc ,ir\ W??? ;ifT?rVll1 if to IU > *- -J l i I t ?l Vfc.J ll\/ ? .... n see -i venerable old man, whose it airs were bleached by flic irost of nearly seven'v waiters, nf.cr he had done all thai love could * " * suggest, weeding over tus aymg partner, with whom he hud lived almost liall'acen-1 tury, and still inquiring,?4 Do von want any. tiling, my dear ?

Love expanded her vings, au ? triumphantly shouted," B'fssed j >e.God, who giveth'us the victory through i )ur Lord JcsuS Christ." V TEMPOlfiZKR AND"X DECIDED BELIEVER IN CONTRAST. The celebrated William TyndaJ, who be;an to be persecuted lor his freedom of renark in testimony to the truth, in the com. nencement of the reformation by Luther, vns led !o consult a certain divine, who had jcen chancellor to a bishop. The divine old him confidentially tha^ in his opinion, lie Rope was antichrist, but advised him by. 10 means to avow any sentiment of the kind, is k would he at the peril of his life. . Tynla), however, soon proved himself incapable >f concealment, tor being in company with i popish' divine, he argued so conclusively n favor of a vernacular translation of the jible,that'the divine, unable to answer him, unclaimed, " We had better be without I tod's laws than the none's."- This tired 1 . I ~ I - ho spirit of I j-nclal, and with holy indignaion he replied, * I defy the: Pope and all lis'laws, and if God give me 1 fe, are many 'ears the ploughboys shall know more of he Scrip:ures than you do,,'?a pledge vliich lie amply redeemed, by not only pubisliing the New Testament in English, idapted to tlicmost refined society, but also n the autkogrnphy of the country people md j loughboys. In the foregoing account we bave two .* CO # , rcry different characters in contrast.

From the Luthern Observer. TO PI ,US YOUNG MEN. I much doubt whether many of these poungmcn havecvcr even agitated the quesion whether ilrey are cailcd of God to enjago. in this great business. Many, especially tlio$e who live in more remote places, where the-publications of the 'Education, Missionary, and other Societies are o a very limited c.^fcmt circulated, have, it is to be feared, but little knowledge of the' moral dearth of our land and 'world. Or, f they have suoh knpvvleege, the subject is so seldom presented.to their minds with lite force it deserves, or with refercnoe 19 personal duty, that hut comparatively little impression is produced.- Such can hardiv be expected to inqOirc whether they ought to ?nter'the ministry. My friend, who are rou, now reading these lines ? Are you pne of the pious young men belonging to he American churches ? Though you may be included iu the number who ought to preach the (?ospe!, you may have various ?.?~ r~.. . rcaauua mji y. uiJLKium^ mui yuu ?u? uui. j Let us examine these reasons. 1. You say you cannot enter theminisry because you have not the means to ol>a n an education. But have you applied, hrough your pastor, <3r otherwise, for assistance from any Society or Board of Edu:ation ? If not, can you continue to urge; lie want of means as an excuse ? 2. "You urge that you have not the requisite qal{filiations. Let me inquire what jualiticationsyou do need. Want of piety 1 io to the foot of the cross, and lie there, ill you obtain it. As, however you may orm too low an estimate of vonr piety, you :annot confide solely in your < Un judgment n this matter "and consequently are under ibligaiionsto ask the opinion of judicious Wends. Jdo you urge want of talents ? This may be a legitimate pica ; b it it has )een urged by some of the -most eminent nen which.the world lias produced. 'When doc! required the services 6f Moses, how earnest was lie in argument for declining? ieremiara said," Ah, Lord God, I cannot ;peak, for I am a child." 3. !>c you say " I do not feel that I have ica/'io the ministry ? If 1 could ascerain that I had one, I would enter on a :ourse of preparation." But is there no ia7 to ascertain this ? It appears to*me het . . - Consider the momentous beards ol^^^oucsiion of duty. . You allaw i that you are bound to do all the good and prevent a!i thecvi! you can in die world. By i entering the ministry with the aid of the i Holy spirit you may be instrumental in | convening many of your feilow-njen ; in raiding up preachers of the Gospel; and in jioing much good in various other* ways. If you do not enter it. you leave the fieid to he tilled with the naiyrul and rapid growth of errors in doctrine and practice, which will soon amount to little less than heathon! ism. . Go to God in humble and-importunate prayer.for cTirection ; follow the indications of his Providence and the guidance of his spirit; take?counse! of his-ministers : be willing to go wljere duty calls : and if you seriously believe that you can glorify | Gobi more by preparing for the ministry, ! and lliere be no valid reasons against it ; tliOii it appears to mo that you arc. to wait Tor no oflier ca!!; and wo.be to you if, through your own criminal neglect^ you preach not the gospel. To those of you. beloved brethren, who * have such .a belief, 1 will mention some of the- motives which should constrain you to engage in this work ; * 1. Your obligation to your Saviour should move you. lie has enrolled your name in heaven, and prepared a place for you at his right hand, where you are to drink forever of the streams which make glad the city ofyour God. O had you a thousand lives to spend in the service *of this ado'rable Being, oi* had you ten thousand tongues to sound abroad his praisef you should dedicate all to hfm who has doticso much for you. 2. Your obligations to your neighbor. Him, you are commanded to love as 'your self.?Thousands of v b\\? .feltov/.men, who j are a!i your neighborsrarc perishing. The' soul of every one of these has been pronounced by him who has the ksys'of 'death and I hell, to. he of more value titan the whole wdYld. - This thought alone ought to be 'sufficient to make you rejoice to leave your farm," or your merchandize, %or the law, or medicine, and fiy to the help of any one who can possibly be rescued from so tremendous a doom. 3. Consistency of conduct. On ' your j knees, at the throac of grace, you plead with ! your Saviour to send morednborcrsinio the hareest. How can you spread forth your hands, while you are unwilling to do your part towards the advancement of his king- I dom and keep back a pan of the price ? 4. The rewards which await you, if found faithful. "The who turn many to righ- | reousness shdll shine as the stars for ever j and ever/' Wimt joy shall thrill through ! ' " ? .1 your bosom, in seeing tnenonor wmui muswhom you arc instrumentals, in saving, will bring to vour Redeemer. \ ou shall never forget, that every soul which is saved will, through some period ofetcrnity, bring more glory to this adorable Being than yet has been brought by all the myriads who Ixive. gone to heaven. In consideration of what lias been said, I have two questions to ask, answers to which I solemnly enjoin it upon You to give to the Head of tire church. . Do you intend to go up to the help of the Lord in tin's mighty work ? If so whatsoever your hands find to do, do i; with your might. . * * . Are you disposed to 'decline entering the ministry, or are you halting between two opinions ? But are you prepared to resist the calls wuich .arc made upon you ? .1 entreat you to thing welhofthis matter- before you ccmc to a determination in the negative. As an embassador of the King of Heaven, I charge.you to make those calls at subject of much prayer and meditation. Lot the j first ques'ion on your self examinaVrt list, for morning, be, Am I going to glorify my Saviour to day by not setting my face towards the Christian ministry ??And let your first question oh your self-examination list, for evening, be, Have I glorified, Hod today in not setting my face towards the n in: istry ??While engaged on your farm, or in vnnr shorn or in vour law or medicine, ofion / i"V put ihn question to your conscience, Do 1-bc. Jicvc my God looks down upon me with as , much approbation*us lie would i? I were now engaged in laboring in the vineyard of his Son ? Can you qnitely stand still and sec multitudes perish i Have \ou no bowels of pity ? I lav? you no sentiments of compassion ? ?Have you no tender concern for your perishing fellow-men ? If you havcf L beseech you to show it, by flying to their help. How will your very knees smite together with trembling, when you see them pointing out their hands towards you in the presence of (lie assembled universe, and liear them saying, " There stand the men who solemnly convenanted,' over the body and blood of their Lord, that .they woujd love their neighbor as themselves ; but they loved us nol?though they knew what evil was corning on us forever, they pitied us nol?" How will your hearts die within you, .when you hear your Saviour say, Is this the way you have shown your gratitude to ?.Iej 1 who shed my blood for you ? mm rmwaiim i?>??iga Drug Store.
