PRAYER MEETINGS. r The following remarks uro from the i Cnristian Witness^ an Episcopal paper, ' published in Bos on. ' The direct reasons for meetings among private Christians, for social prayer and ' exhortation, are various. ' They ure necessary for the growth of the Church in reul spirituality and religious ac- ! tivity. We do not deny the possibility of 1 a private Christian's living in a spiritual and 1 active state, without such meetings; but we do doubt, seriously, the practicability ! of keeping the Church, as a Church, in 1 such a state, without such meetings. It of- 1 t?n happens that parishes are destitute of a ' minister for months together. Unaccustomed to meet for prayer and mutual en. couragemenf, what becomes of the commu- ! nicants 1 They are like coals of fire scat- ! tered about on a cold, dark hearth ; they ! no ou\ and die. And even when they have 1 u minister, if they are discouraged from tvpr meeting by themselves, they never will inner, we venture to say, except under stiff and formal relations ; so that, as n general thing, t iey will never be like coals of - fire gathered together, till, in their contact, .they warm, and glow, and finally burst into a flame. They will always live in cold distance trom cacti other, and in listless indifference to the vital int<-rests of religion in the Church. The meetings of which we speak, for social prayer and mutual edification, are excellent schools for the seriously inquiring, who wish some time and piuro, to which they can resort for sympathy, guidance, :and strength in their new-sprung hopes of Iifc, and in their new-born purposes of giv"ing themselves away to the Saviour. For want of such a time and place, among Christians themselves, we have Jit ie doubt that ' many hearts are continually becoming chilled ut the very begining of their anxieties and solicitudes, and sinking back again into cold discouragement, orintos msfied wordiness; ond tnat thus much of the labours of a minister are lost, which might otherwise have brought forth rich, ripe fruit un o eternal Me. Multitudes are afra'd to go and open their heart to their minister, who would rejoice in an opportunity, without any open avowal of their feelings at first, to throw J ? > ? d I. _I themselves among serious ana iiveiy c>nri??- i trans, and thu* to pain courage, strength, and decision for the st?p, which is to place . them before the world, as irrevocably the followers of the Crucified. For want of such an opportunity, they suppress their feeling*, till suppression drives them away, . or the world weaves new toils for their hearts, and they become again more than ever insensible to the truth. The same meetings arc likewise excellent . schools for developing and bringing to light jtist that kind of talent, and just that stamp of piety, which the Church needs in gathering around herself an able, faithful, and well-skilled ministry. They are schools in jvhtch the evidences of true Christian experience are thoroughly taught, deeply foil, and clearly seen ; and where strong, and fairly proportioned, and decided specimens Christian character are trained ; just such J- J r . j i i characters, as are neeoea lurstanuaru utMren, for guides, for spiritual comforters and ( . enfighteners, over the people of God. (), how different from those, who so often . offer themselves for the ministry, they know not why; with but the dimmest preceptious of the Spirit's work of renewing the heart, r in utter darkness as to the nature of that , work ; and Who pioss on in their preperalions for becoming nothing but**bhnd leaders of the blind," till both fall into the ditch." We do not say that there are no other time?eAd #pt&ces 'ban those, of winch we peak, for securing the ends, of which we have spok<*n : for there are ; but we do s ty that associations of private Christians for prayer and mutual edification arc peculiarly favourable to these ends, and deserve a place anion2 the established means an agencies of the Church, for promoting her spir. tual growth and activity. The limitation of these meetings, by the Clergy, who en. courage them to the simple objects of prayer and conversation, with the "speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs"?thus excluding from them all ap proach to the duties 01 tne ministry in me preaching of the word, is all that is necessaiy to preserve them from the objcciions so often urged against them, and to keep them pure sourcesof health and lifetothe Church and the cause of Christ. Religion, the religion of Jesu9, is peculiarly social; the Church needs opportunities for the practi. col manifestation of this, not only in the a stately assembly of the Sabbath and the Sanctuary, where fashion and form so freely mix with faith and purity, but also in those more familiar and unembarmssed meetings, where none but tried Christians, and those who are willing to berome such, draw together to cheer^and strengthen each other, and to give their sacred sympathies full exercise and free expression. W ithou: such opportunities, religion languishes for wAnt of her warmth and her dew, as tender plants droop when deprived of the sun and the rain ; and the Church is robbed of much i of her best strengtli, skill, and experience, in every department of her work, and among all ranks of her members. That these opportunities may be abused among those, whose ecclesiastical systems tend to extravagance and fanaticism, we freely grant; so toiay every other good tiling ;?but under our system of strong restraints, steady balances, and sobering influences, they are just what is needed; and n<ver, we fear, till they are generally allowed and enjoyed, will our Zion stand up before the world in ] all her glory, with 'all the impulses and ac- < tiviiies of a living body, as well as with all ^ the safeguardsofa hcaven-devtsod govern- j meat. \ ... j , THHEB WARNINGS POR BOYS. r Boys are apt to be very food ot playing with gunpowder, and of firing pistols and c crackers. Now I love to see boys play 1 * when they cannot be better employed, and J vj>i?y, too, with all their might, not only for few sake of being happy themselves, but to nnke their playmates happy. To sac a ompany of welLbehavcd, good-hearted f ads, with bounding hearts, and glowing aces, engaged in their innocent and health, r ul 8; oris, n^vor uttering a profane or un- c wind word, but making the air ring wuh c heir merry laugh, is enough to make us all , vish we were boys again. So you will all | ?ee that I am not writing to make you feel ;ad without cause or to deprive you of any 1 eal enjoyment. , But of all the ways which boys take to nnuse themselves, that of firing gunpowder s the mast barbarous, absured and unprofi- t able. Now my young reader, just stop ' ind tell me if this is not so. Suppose you 1 ire a cracker or a gun to make a noise, ,vhat good does it do you, or any body ;lse ? Are you any wiser or better for hearng the noise? Will you be a man any < jooner, or be any wiser when you become me ? Will your parents love you the more ? ' Will God love you more? Will you be worthy to be loved more, after spending -noney in such foolish pleasures as Indians ind Cossacks delight in, when you might ' ipend it for a book, or in doing good to the :ieedy ? No. you wilj belieyc me when I say that the pleasure derived from firing guns and crackers is the lowest and poorest that a boy who is no: drunk or crazv, or an idiot, can ? ? i-'-~ i, i pOSSIDiy ^njoy. oome uoy may imuit ? talk rather too s ror.g, so let us have an illustration. You all can think of some wise imi good men whoin you have not seen, but would be very glud to see, say Mr. Abbott, or Peter Parley, whoso books have ^ivr n you so much pleasure, and you no Joubt think them models of dignity, propriey and wisdom. Suppose you should c ill on them, and find them firing crackers, and pnp guns! You may reply they are wise men, and we are boys. Very true, hut you w.sh to be as wise as they are, and if so you must behave like ihem. If you eugage in foolish sports, it makes you feel foolish, it brings you into foolish company in fact it makes you foolish. If I had lime I would tell you a story about Napoleon when a lad, who in spite of all the scorn of his schoolmates, went to S'tidying mulhemutics, which you all know is dry enough, while they fired rock' ts. As for those tads who besides the folly of firing for nothing, go about pop, [?op, pop, at harmless birds, which God lias made to flit and chirp in the happy enjoyment of life, and to destroy the had insects wtiich destroy the fruit trees, I hardly Jure to trust myself to write about them.? | L?*t me say to ail who have not begun this :ruel and wicked practice do not begin. But this firing for mere sport is raoro foolsli and wicked, because it is so dangerous, [f I could tell yo how many lads have been 'died hv it. vnii wmiiM never meddle with I again. You who read ;he Watchman, recollect that in and near Boston, three hoys wore killed in tins way on the 29th of i May last, which you know is old Election, jay. One whs young C.trlcton, of Andoirer, who had been out with his fowling piece, and stopping on his re urn, leaned 1 his forehead on the muzzle, when the gun went off and shivered the fore part of ins head to atoms! Ano.ber was Marcelius ( Sopeland that sweet singer, so much ad. ' mired and loved for his amiable manners ' md generous heart, whom many of mv ? i it .. _;II ' Boston reaaers nave seen, mu wi? wap ifresii to think that he was killed by firing i 1 iitile brass cannon, as he called it, for jport. 1 The worst case of all, is that of William ' Wheat, of Wobum, eg< d 14, who camu IU J j his ultimately und awful death by the burs, i ting of a gun,barrel. Tnough he had been repeatedly told not to meddle with it, yet he loaded it and applied a match to firo it off, but the " cannon" burst, and killed him instantly, a fragment penetrating his brains ! And shocking to tell, he lay in this dreadfully mangled state within a few rods of the house, till the third day before his body was discovered. But the worst of all in regard to this boy, is yet to be told. The last Sabbath but two before his death, he forsook the Sub. bath-school, and went to a public house. The next Sabbath his teacher reminded him of the impropriety of his conduct. Eie was very angry, and declured it was the last time he would ever enter the Sabbath, school. And so it proved, for though he was permitted to attend meeting once more, he did not go to the Sabbath-school, and on Wednesday following he met Ins awful death. Now let every boy who reads this, take warning and never engage in the foolish and wicked practice of playing with gun. powder. Think of being suddenly sent into the presence of God, while so employ, nd. Would not every boy to profer to die praying ? Oh, it is a dreudful thing to b? engaged in such business as makes you afraid to die. R' member the boy who went ?way angry from the SnbbatlKschool, for he last time. Perhaps God saw that all iiope ofhis reforming was *t an end, and made this fearful example of him to deter 31hers from sin, and to prevent him from neaping up wrath against the day of wrath, i If you are ever asked to join in these idle, 1 'tarirrciMMio cnn.ta mmamhar iinlV m I IP h Rrl- ' "U|lgV(WM4 0|A/| lOy | VUIVIMV/WI ??V ? | Per and better it will be, to go and get your Sabbath-school lesson. < Edior of Christian Watchman.

The ..a -rAiitini, in a A v Enil. at nuch distances & i uta uio ?? ? ? j wwMV ?- ? as with the aid of a hot sun, and extraordinary dry season, have im patted maturity and firmness of wood. Most of the Trees are planted in chequers 12 feot apart, each way, covering an area of at least twenty acres. All, therefore interested in the culturoqf Silk, will have an opportunity of furnishing themselves, on the most advantageous terms. Tho object of the Subscriber in offering his Trees at this time, is to afford the purchaser an opporlu* nity of seeing the Trees as they are growing, or as they have recently grown The sale will therefore take place on the ground. The Trees will be sold in lots to suit the hum lest purcha. ser, and on such conditions as will enable the poor man (notwithstanding the sneers of certain Editors among us,) to compete with the wealthy man, who can bring a larger force into the field.

They are well tim. berod, (chiefly Pine and the second growth of Oak.) About ono half consists of what is term, ed bottoms, rendered perfectly dry and tillable, by at least 6000 yards of ditching, most of which measures 5 feet in width by 3 feet in depth.? There are now, upwards of 70 ac^es of ?.cw ground cornpletely cleared and dilched, now ready for being broken up. ? The Buildings are situated upon a high ridge of Sand Hills, proverbial for health,. Insomuch that the neighborhood affords a retreat for many of tho families of Columbia, during tho Summer months. It waj on this account, that the site was selected for the business, (a Female Board, ing School,\ to which the buildings Imve been dedicated. The water is excellent, supplied by two pumps ; besides which, there are two excel, lent Springs. The centre building is of Wood, well plaistcr. cd, and neatly finished throughout, measuring 54 feet square: threo stories high; the upper room or Attic story, being 15 feet in height.? Beneath this building is an excellent Cellar above ground.

From the extremity of the Brick wing and at right angles with it. procoeds a building (the Academic edifice,) 134 feet in length bv 34 in width, two stories high, well coilod throughout, and having an excellent Cel. lar above ground. Besides fire places, Franklin Stoves, dec., the whole establishment, with the exception of the Brick building, is wanned by Air Furnaces on most improved plan, similar to that by which Graco Church, and m ny public and private edi. flees in Philadelphia, are warmed. The area of all tho floors, in these buildings, is by measure, raent, upwards of 100,000 square feet. On the Institute buildings is an Insurance of $15*000. There are also, at a small remove from the buildings, two Residences, Cottage-built, neatly finished; the one containing four and the other two rooms. It is unnecessary to say, that the out.buildings of the Institute, are in every re. speel, correspondent to the main buildings. The Garden has been improved at a considerable ex. pense. When the intrinsic value and resources of the above establishment are taken into consideration, and when it is recollected that Columbia will be shortly connected with Charleston by a Rail Roid, now in a vigorous state of progrea. sion; when it is furthermore recollecte! that the Rail Road is to connect the Sea Boird with the great North West, it may be said, the property now offered for Sale, presents inducements to companies or individuals desirous of embarking extensively into tho Silk business, Unsurpassed by any thing afforded in this country.

FOR Sale nearly or quite TWO MILLIONS of Morus Multicauli* cuttings of remarks, bly wel grown and well matured wood ; a large proportion from roots One and two years old. The trees are very super or, generally from 6 to 10 feet high, growing on dry sandy land, in rows from 4 to 8 feet apart, and standing, generally, at Irotn 2 to 3 feet in the row. Main stems and branches will be sold together ; and, rather than refuse a good offer, the roots will also be sold. It is estimated that the lot will y ield from four to five hundred thousand cuttings an inch and quarter, or more in circumference. Such cutting, as I know from last spring's experience, grow almost as certainly as rooted pldnts, even with bad management in an unfavorable season, more especially when grown themselves from rooted plants, as is: he case with many of those here offered. It is confidently believed that very few if any lots of trees are for sale in the country which afford so large a number of so good cut. tings. They are worth visiting from a distance by a person wishing to purchase so great a number of trees or cuttings of prime quality. The preeent price is 12| cents per foet, or 2 cents per bud. A reasonable deduction would be made to alpurchascr of the whole lot. The field on which the trees stand is within m few hundred yards of the Cheraw boat landing, from which there is regular steamboat communication with George Town and Charleston.
