41 PERHAPS THERE IS MORE IN IT THAN I HAVE
BEEN ACCUSTOMED TO SUPPOSE."
A few weeks since 1 was requested by a
gendeman to visit his brother who was sup
posed to be dangerously ill. The request,
1 was told, came from the j-ick man himself
? not, it was added, that he wished me to
visit him as a minister of religion, for that on
that subject, he had made up his mind. But
that he wished me to call, merely as a literary
and intelligent friend ; of whose
character he had formed a favourable opinion
through his friends, for he did not know
me personally. I had heard that he was a
young man of great talents, as a lawyer and
politician?that he had much influence in the
circles in which he moved : and, moreover,
that he was a great scoffer at religion, especially
at Christianity,
1 was introduced, with rather a palpitating
heart, ioto hi# sick room?I was introduced
to him on what proved to be his dying bed,
with the vows of God upon me to be faithful
to the souls of men, and yet likely to be inhibited
from any allusion to those great
truths in which every soul is so deeply and
vitally interested.
As soon as I was seated by his bed?side,
and we were left alone, he repeated the sub.
o.tny.A moM?m I nJiwiHv receiv.
D*auv*c? KJk Ul\? liiV^9U^v tlttvj ??.? J
ed through his brother. He said he found
himself low spirited, and wished mo to call,
and converse with him upon such subjects
as would tend to cheer up his mind. He
said he had no fears of death, or of meeting
his God?that he had often stared death in
the face, on the sick bed?in the bloody
field of battle ; and he might have added on
the bloody field of honour, of which last lie
bore the melancholy mnrks in his shattered
and shrivel'ed arm. He said he always
acted from good motives?spoke of his love
of country?of his devotion to her interests,
and that in looking at his past hirtory, he
had nothing to fear from the justice of his
God. i
I remarked to him that, of course, be j
must be aware of my views of the supreme
importance of the great truths of the Christian
religion. That although 1 did not feci
at liberty to obtrude the subject upon his aL
tention, yet that I regarded the religion of I
the Gospel as of great importance at all I
times, and as ali important to a person in his
condition then. 1 alluded to the comfort to
be derived by the Christian from a recogoi.
fion of the paternal character of God, even
in his afflictive dispensations,and of (he ad.
vantages of the Christian in every respect,
both at the present and for the future.
He then spoke of his having a most un.
governable temper, without, however, inti??

of unhappiness or as being wicked. I aL
luded to the temper of the Apostle Paul pre.
vious to his conversion ; and to his charac.
ier after that event. He said he wondered
if a person at his age could overcome such
a temper. I replied that I supposed the
same influence which wrought the change
in the character of the Aposde, could effect
the same fof him if he would submit him.
self to that influence.
As he seem >d not unwilling to hear, 1
presented some of the simplest truths of tho
Gospel in such a way as I thought most
likely to seize the attention of a mind active
and inquisitive, as I supposed his to be; and
from which all exciting* topics of a worldly
nature had been studiously excluded by his
physicians and attendants. 1 then left him,
fully persuaded in my own mind that the
foundations of his infidelity had begun to
slip from under him before he sent for me.
But that h.'s object was not to disclose bis
state of mind until he should see me and
form for himself a favourable opinion of my
character.
In a day or two I called again, and found
him atill sinking, but apparently entirely ra.
tional. T he distressing hiccough had been
upon him for many hours. It was there,
fore with difficulty he could converse at all,
and then only in a few words at a time. Ho
said Mr.?-when you were here before
wh were speaking on the subject of religion.
If I had strength to converse I should like
to have some long conversation with you
on the subject of Christianity. Perhaps
there is more in it than I have bten accus
tomed to suppose. This remark deepened
the impression left upon mind by our previous
interview^-I repeated to him some of
the principal and plainest truths of the Gos.
pel, and left him, with the promise to call
"~"1" '"I"*" I rtnllnrl a o In Vio tvnfi mnrll
r? il^U i VUIIVU U.UHI MV ?? w?r ....... |
worse?and I was prohibited byhisphysicians
from seeing him.
He continued to sink until hope of his recovery
vanished. But nature struggled on
with disease, and he revived again, aud sent
for me?I saw him again, exceedingly emaciated.
But his restless eye spoke the
deep solicitude ef the soul within. 1 am
unable to converse, said he, but I can hear
you talk about religion.?and I wish you to
pray with me?to pray for figftt that I
may discover the truo way of saivaion.
?Two questions ho proposed respecting
the mystery of the incarnation and the au>
thenticity of the Old Testament,u the pre.
sence of some hitherto cherished, and still
lingering cavils"?But his response to the
petition lor #g.teseemed fervent and sincere.
At a subsequent interview, lie remarked,
that during his protracted illness he had been
compelled to rejlect, as he had never done
before?that he thought he bad been
brought to that state of mind in which he
could say, ** Father thy will be done."
Afrer this f was necessarily absent for a
few days?when I returned he was dead,
and had doubtless bad ample proof whether
there is more in Christianity than the sceptic
and scoffer are wont, without investiga.
tion to suppose. Now remark?
1st. The delicacy of the position in
which a minister of the Gospel must feel
himself to be placed, when requested to visit
a dying man, and yet with the understand,
ing that he U expected to converse as a
scholar, rather than as a minister.
2d. The awfu'delusion in which infidelity
involves men. Had this young man
died within the few first days after his attack,
ho would. 1 doubt pot, bnvo df?d at
religion, ami perhaps blaspheming his Maker's
name.
3d. The reason why wicked men die
without concern for their souls, is that they
do not consider? When in health they will
not think; when racked with pain they
cannot think.
4th. Though this individual gave evidence
of being a sincere enquirer for the way of
salvation, yet he left but barley ground to
hope that he found and embraced it. How.
ever, one thing is certain, he did not die an
infidel. He certainly abandoned the ground
he had long occupied, as an opposer of
Christianity. Whether he found the true
ground of salvation by faith in Jesus Chust,
is not so certain.
5 h. May not the prayers of a pious
Mother, (for such was his said to have been)
have had some connexion with the closing
scenes of this young man's life ? though, as
I learned, she died before he was six years
of age.
6th. Some of his former companions, in
iuiquity, have since been heard to say,
that he died "a perfect coward." Is it a
mark of cowardice to abandon an utterly
hopeless cause ??or to escape from n tot.
tering citadel, when it no longer oilers pro.
tectioo ? W. Y. A.
NEVER PROMISE BUT TO PERFORM.
Messrs Editors,?I thought it wouU not
j be amiss to state, through your valuable
- - t. _
Journal, a lew ot tfte dangerous resuus j
growing out of making promises, and then
leaving ihem unperformed. This I shall
treat of as respects the actions of the Sunday
School Teacher meots his class at the
opppointed seasons ; becomes interested
in their progress, and is pleased with their
attention manifested while at school. He
resolves to visit thorn at their homos. So
he tells such a child, whose name is first on
the roll-book, that he may expect him to
come and see him at his house during the
present week, naming the day thereof, and
perhaps the hour. The child shows evident
signs of great joy; revolving in his
micd how good it is in his teacher to take
ao much trouble on hi3 account; and then
how pleased mother will be. However, j
nothing more is said on tTie subject. The \
I child hasteos home after school is out, and
the first words he accosts his mother with,
are, "O, ma ! what do you th'nk? Mr. B. |
says he is coming to see me this week."
"Is he r the mother replies; "surely tha* i
is very good in him, to take so much 1
trouble for us poor folks." The week
passes away until the day fixed upon for the
visit. That very afternoon is the child's
holiday. "Ma," he says, "I'm going to
stay at homo this afternoon, for my Sunday
School teacher is coming to-day." "Very j
well, William," adds his mother, "wc shall
all be glad to see him." So the child '
denies himself the sports customary on
those days of recess. He waits till four ;
o'clock the hour appointed, and pniteody
till half-past. "Well, ma," says William,
with a sigh, "I don't know when Mr. B. is
coming; he told me to look for him at four "
o'clock, and here it is nearly five." His
mother feels very sorry that her child is j
disappointed, and replies, "Don't be impatient,
son, he may be here yet, the sun is a
full half hour high." "Well," says William.
"I will just run to yonder lane, end try if i
I can't see him." So oflThe starts, not yet '
doubting but that his teacher might come. ^
Having reached the lane, nothing could be ^
seen but his father's old cow, quietly coming
down, returning heme from its pasture ?
William eagerly watching, till dusk warned
him that his mother would want him. So
he walked pensively buck, and espying his
mothet returning from the barn, with her
pail of milk, he goes up to her, at the same
time saying, "I might as well have gone a fiokin.*
ufltK Snm find Tnltp Wnlkers. as to
UQKUI^ W|||| K/I4U* %iww _
have remained at home, for Mr. B. won't j come
and see me, after all." "Don't speak .
so, William," replied his mother, of one
who has been so kind to you in other ways;
perhaps he is sick, or has something particular
to occupy him." William, feeling
this as a so t of rebuke owned it might be
so, and added, "lie is a good teacher, any
way."
The next Sunday the teacher goes to
school as usual, not feeling, however,
altogether right. No sooner did little
William espy nis teacher coming, than he
hastened to him exclaiming, "Why were
you not at our house the other day ? I
stayed at homo all the afternoon to seo you
and not finding you come, I went into the
street to look for you." William now,
hoping that one of his mother's excuses
might come true, looks up eagerly in his
teacher's face for an answer. But he is
put off with some petty excuse?Mr. B.
thinking it sufficient to satisfy the child,
without exposing himself.
How dangerous such conduct must be
on the part of Christian instructors, is at
once evident 1:0 all. it is bad for tnem*
selves. It is bad for their scholars. It
is bad every way. The children are iu*
jured thereby, for afterward they are satis*
fied in making any excuse do, for neglect
of du'y. The teacher's influence is impaired
thereby, for the children no longer
put that same implicit confidence in all he
says.
The child does not think it so bad as
represented by his teacher, that of promising
and not fulfilling, since he even does
it. The next time the child may run off to
his games, and let the teacher come and be
disappointed. Let not the Sunday School
teacher imagine it a little thing to break a
promise made to little childron. Belter not
promise, than promise and not perform.?
Children learn evil faster than good. By
one such lesson as the above, you will plant
an evil seed which will choko the growth
of all the good ones you may ever have
sown.
Let then the one, who would be the
faithful Sunday School teacher, never prom*
ise except to perform, for otherwise he is
injuring his own sou!; he is wronging the
soul of the child, over which he is placed
to instil it in Christian principle.

THE
Southern Silk Journal
AND
FARMER'S REGISTER.
A monthly Periodical of thirty-two octavo
pages, with printed cover, in style and
manner equal to the Journal of the American
Silk Society.
THIS Publication appoara under the aiispi.
c#s of The Southern Silk and Agricultural
Society, lately organized at Columbus. Ga. for
the purpose of promoting the culture of Silk in
the South, and of disseminating correct scientific
information on lh> subject of Agriculture in
general.
To control on the ono hand, the present, ao
called wild and wreckless spirit of speculation in
the Mulberry, and on the other, to prove that
Silk may, and ought to become a Southern sta.
pie, shall be the primary object of this Journal i
whilst at the same time, its pages are to be made
the medium of conveying to tho planter and
farmer, the most interesting and important in*
formation on every subject embraced in the wide
range of husbandry.
The experience of other sections of the conn,
try, have clearly shown the benefits derived from
the application of science to the cultivation of
the sojJ, and the entire practicability of embody,
ing the necessary information in the pages of
such a work.
The experience of the Sonth has convinced
all, ll at unless such a work is adapted to our
climate, soil and peculiar system of Agriculture,
its usefulness will be extremely limited.
To this end, the services of several scientific
and practical agriculturalists of distinction have
been secured as correspondents, whose cornmui*
cations will monthly enrich the pages of the
Journal, and render it well worthy of universal
patronage.
Her central position in the most fertile plant,

great thoroughfare between the North and New
Orleans, and her ready communication by mai'i
c 'L- ?k.m all enn _
with every section 01 mc uuuuwj, ? ??*>?. ?...
spired to induce tho Society to select Columbus,
as the most eligible point for its publication.

ROCKINGHAM
Female Institute.
THE increased share of public attention
which the subject of Female Education has
recently received, and the lively interest which is
eginnmg to be felt in its behalf are encouraging
signs of future improvement. The System which
has long obtained in our country, it is to beregraL
ted, is radically defective in that almost exclusive
attention is paid to the ornamental to ihe neglect
of that which is of primary importance. This
desideratum, it has been the effort of Mrs, Green,
the principal of the Rockingham Female Institute
to su pply; and the result of the recent examination
which we had the pleasure of attending,
proves that it was not without success. In this
Institution the culture of the mind is the cardinal
object of attention ; and greater importance is
attached to the formation of habits of close
thought and protracted mental effort by which
the mind is endued with strength, vigour and
elasticity, than to any given amount of erode
information garnered up in the "store house of
memory,"
I The committee having attended the recent ex.
amination, take pleasure in expressing the satis,
faction they felt in witnessing the interesting
exercises. We feel no hesitancy in pronouncing
it equal, if not superior, to any examination of
the kind we ever before witnessed; and the
readiness and accuracy with which answers were
given to thm quemtioa* propounded, and the
promptness snd facility with which sections and
chapters of difficult t?xubooks were analised, did
honour to the pupils and reflected credit on their
worthy instructress.
On the Evening of the same day we wero
highly entertained with the performances of the
young ladies on the Piano Forte and Guitar; and
though we are not professed connoisseur*, the
exhibition, we think, indicated that the performera
correctly understood the true principles of
Musick. The exercises closed and we retired to
our respective places of abode, after having
passed a highly interesting day.
The health end society of our viUags render it
a very desirable location for a female Institution;
and when we add to this, the competencyfef the
principal and assistant, the commit! e take the
pleasure In recommending the Rockingham Fe.
I male Institute to the liberal patronage of an in.
telligent public.
