From
Columbia, to Columbia
lumbia
All uien kuuw that lulu tubus dm
covered America, and that base jeal
ousy and black ingratitude robbad
him of the right and honor of giving
his own name to the new continent,
ami instead called it after a mere
adventurer, “America" INwsterity,
however, always just to the dead,
has done Its utmost to render jus
tice to the name and the deed of tho
man wlio found America. Although
to tell the truth, it ia so large that it
was impossible to iniaa it. Tho Ice
landers bad found it bond reds of
years before Columbus did ; but thou
they most foolishly managed to lose
it again. In all this there was a
provideuce. The discovery 94 Amur
icu, the invention of printing, and
the Reformation of the Church are
three great epoch-making event*
linked together eternally, ami from
America will proceed the renovation
of the life of the Old World, and the
restoratiou of the Church.
Posterity has done justice to the
(Genoese. In South America a sov
ereign state ia
Nortfi America' are count
and villages in almost every state
bearing his name; then there is in
addition, “Hail Columbia" and “Col
urn binds." No doubt the dust of
Chri8topl*oro Colombo rvets quietly
in the Cathedral of Vailadalid, but
it is very much to be doubted wheth
er his spirit cares for all these things
now.
We have conaideied this preface
necessary to the narration of oar
journey. To be sure there was no
necessity for saying anything about
it; but some things are expected of
us, and some things we like to do,
and in the present ease it affords us
pleasure to comply.
We left Columbia, H C., In charge
of five young ladies. Two of them
we knew, one we guessed at, the
fourth and fifth we bad never seen.
We were to convey them to Staun
ton, Va. Doubtless some wiseacre
will say: “Thought he bad more
sense than to take charge of five
young ladies with their trunks, bo*»
es, bandboxes and bundles.* Him
and all others we answer: The young
ladies are Booth Carolinians, well
raised, and all but one members of
the church. Besides having only
two arms, we secured the uaristsncc
of three yonng gentlemen bound tor
Salem, Va. This was a masterstroke,
for the yonng gentlemen devoted
themselves with a never to be forgot
ten seal to the young ladies, waited
on them, watched over them, and,
for ought we know, fell in love with
them. Till they left at Burksvftte to
go to Salem, onr office was really a
sinecure.
If it had not been for the aid
afforded os we should no doubt Imre
broken down. The weather was ex
tremely hot and sultry, the cars
were erowded, the inmate selfishness
of many men is fully developed un
der such circumstances; but the
Lord was good to as; nothing ad
verse occurred, and we arrived safely
at Eiohmoud, Va., where we remain
ed two hours, and left foT Btaanton,
Va., on the Chesapeake A Ohio Rail
road.-*
The trip from Richmond to Staun
ton is always a treat. ThfffSfiu al
ways shines when it ought, the air
is always balmy and invigorating,
the scenery is picturesque, and we
never have found the cars erowded.
What views, what hills, mountatas
and valleys f What lights and shad
ows! Almost every mile traveled
over pteseuts a new leaf of God's
book of nature. JH the train ap
proaches the tnnnets the mountains
seem to close np all aroond; to ad

the lamps are lighted, the engine

But here Is Staunton, amt there is
Prof. Miller. He pounce* on the

some young gentlemen, who are

and .off they roll to the Semlanry.
We fbel that onr occnpstioo is gone,

to meet him. Ur always had a
knack of turning sp most ones pert
edly and at the most an likely pfaees,
but always with a purpo«e. slwsy*
in the service of the Master, always
for the benefit ef the church. W«
believe Dr. Davie he* traveled move,
preached move, and, though loved
and weloome everywhere, yet re
reived less from the treasury of the
Church than soy ether at hie CnUow
servants. Few have Uvml a* exeiu
