And are you exceedingly surprised at that f Is the thing unnatural f You remember that, at one time, you thought to assume the position of a castigator. Now, the fewer the num ber of copies among us, the fewer the number of blows you would be enabled to inflict It was your fault You had terrified ns. You are the school master, and I the little boy; and you say to me, 'get me a plenti ful supply of switches,' and theu it will be: 0 tergum, O crus, 0 brackia." Poor little Jaukey! Only be a good boy, and that big, ngly Luther an Visitor shan't scare him. But do not bear malice, it makes you fed badly, and ia not- good for the soul. Richmond Mission.—Ws are glad it is again supplied, and with a workman whose labors in other flehls the Lord has so abundantly blessed. We hope Bra. Ileukfe will send us either the whole of bis “introductory sermon,” or anyhow those “parts” referred to in Bro. bosh's article. But is it not a cry ing shame that the General Synod, South, does not support that mission f It should be done, and it can be done, if we only had a few lire meu among ns. Ws (lo not trust in the Lord, nor do we confide in ourselves, aud we are therefore feeble, and we do nothing. Nay* there is even a disposition to look away from the Lord, ami to let others do the work that we should and oonld do. There are even those among ns who put their trust in man, uuuiiudfol of the: “Thus suith the Lord : coned is %tbe man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.” , Yes, and what is to become of .us, now Dr. Siess threaten* to withdraw his arm, to withhold his assistance, and to leave ns to ourselves, aniens we gratify him, aud do exactly as he wants us to do f We, and others, no doubt also, thought that money he claims to have lavished on the South was freely given for the honor and glory of God, aud the boildiug up of the Evangelichl Church ; but we begin to doubt the motive. Any how, it seems to ns that Dr. Sics* now thinks that we are under obliga tions to obey him implicitly, because we have accepted money of him ; in other words, because be has bought ns. Miss Mlssou.—A friend writes: “I beard her sing last night, and am so perfectly carried away, that 1 write to urge yon to go to see ber and hear her at Charleston, where she will slug on Saturday and Monday evenings next. Hbe is a Swede, you know, aud of course a Lutheran. You can speak her language, I pre sume ; if not, she speaks both Ger man ami English very well. Bee her, and give your readers an sc* count of her and your interview with her. Excuse my enthusiasm.* Of course we excuse our friend's enthusiasm. We never knew him to be in such a state.
