The wall* that echm-d and re-cebooil the words of Washing ton, Jefferson, Clay, Henry, and other intellects;—star* of the first magnitude—are now elothed in suck doth and ashes. Death, attired iu it* most dismal robes, api«eared among ns—entered our halls of jus tice—swayed its relentless sceptre over the heads of many of our best dti^pus—and brought sorrow, nfflic- tkm and distress iuto our very midst. The agonizing and low moans of the sufferers are Stiil fresh iu our ears— their plaintive cries for help, faintly penetrating the debris of a ouce hallowed and honored hall, will never be forgotten by those of you who were near that scene of death. The moonifnl tolling of the bells of this afflicted city, file muffled sounds of the drum aud the plaintive notes of the fife, announcing the departure *od burial of beloved ones, are still ringing in onr ears. Our streets are *ad with sorrow, aud our homes are fiBed with tears. Our city—the queen of America—is clothed iu moitruiug, weeping for her beloved sons. Our calamity aud affliction is a common one. It is not alone our «ity aud our State that mourn. Our •ad visitation lias scut a thrill of l<aiu through the heart of a nation. Sister cities and sister States take part in our great bereavement. With lightning speed the electric flash hurries along the wires, announcing the heartfelt sympathy of our breth ron from every direction. The cold Sorth that stood aloof and hated us, now melts in grief and w-eeps with ■ns—the warm and genial 8outh, still bleeding from every pore, befriends ns as she always did—the East and ^ est are near us with their words of comfort and wish us a prosperous ftitare. The whole land is moved to compassion. The sighs of millions ascend with ours to the throne of grace, beseeching an all-wise Provi dence to have mercy npon ns and lighten our afflictions. The cold and icy hearts of our worst enemies are tamed hitherward, and beat in uni son with otira. A brotherly feeling <*ice more pervades a distracted land. Little antipathies and little bickerings are dismissed, and mutual sympathy has taken their place. Ow «W toss has, heyoml doultt, awakened much interest aud feetmg m oor behalf, and so far it may redound to our good. It shows con clnsivcly that we are a nation of one heart ami of one miml, ami that au invisible frond of union is woven •round us which no one can sever. COLUMBIA, 8.

J. Complete to Christ “One day,” (says Runyan,) “as I was jmsssiiig hi to the field, ami that too with Vnm- dashes on my eon seienee, fearing lest oil was not right, swddraly this sentence fell njsm my eoul, ‘Tlty righteraisnessisin heareu;’ and methought withal I saw, with the eyes of my soul, Jesus Christ at God’s right hand. There, I say, was ray righteousness; so that whenever I was, or whatever I was doing, Ural could not say of me, ‘He w ants tuy righteousness,' for that was just be fore Him. I also saw, moreover, that it was not my good frame of heart that made nty righteousness Iretler, nor yet my bad frame that made, my righteousness worse; for uiy righti nnsuess was Jesus Christ Himself, ‘the same yesterday, and to-day, and for eVer.’ (Heft xiii: 8.) “Now did my chains fail from me. Indeed, I was loaned from my afflic tions and irons, toy temptations also fled away; so that from that time those dreadful scriptures of Uod left off to trouble me. Now went 1 also home rejoicing for the grace and lore of Uod; aa when I came home, 1 looked to see if I could find that wafcmet*, ‘Thy righteousness is iu heaven;' Imt could not find such a ■vying. Winn-fore my heart began to si nk again, ouly that was broaght to lay heart n membra nee, ‘Who uf God is made nuto ns wisdom, nud righteousness, and satretifientiou amt redemption.' (X Cor. i: 30.) By this won! I tow the other sentence tme. “For by this nrriiitfire I saw that the mnn Christ Jesus, as He ft ilistnu-t from as us teaching His bodily proaeiKie, so lie ft oar rigfat- eousnem and nuictifiention before (tod: her* therefore I lived, for Some ft me, very sweetly at peace w ith God througli Christ.
