Aboat 3,000 persons were present, the largest crowd we had ever seen on such an occasion The last Sab bath, the 9th of September, we heard Mr. Spurgeon in his own house, the Tabernacle. The build ing, we were told, can receive 8,000 persons, but comfortably seats 7,000. It was full, and to us the sermon seemed the best that we bad heard. The repairing bad cost over ?6,000, and the pastor remark ed, that 82,500, yet remained un paid. 'But," said be, "I know that you will raise that in the collection this day, that "at the tea party to morrow night I may say to yon, the debt is all paid.'' It is wonderful what sums of money are raised in that congregation, and spent in works of beneficence. They sus tain 600 preachers and candidates for the ministry.doing their work id this and other cities, and a num ber of hospitals -with thousand of poor children, whom Mr. Spurgeon watches over and instructs as a father.- As we heard his precious words, and saw the stenographers catching every, sentence to cast them forth to the world, to be sent to the end's of the earth, to be read by present and unborn generations," we could most heartilv thank Our Lord and Eedeemer that he raises up at least one such man in a gen eratian, to bless the church and the race. There may be others of equal power and usefulness, bat we' have not seen nor heard of then? ; ' L. D. . Ur. DorlaaiV Letter, to. 3.- j-. : jruKGi(N. j ... I. Concokd, Oct. Stb.

In early life he purchased lauds on the waters of the Pee I)ee,but his .1 nr. J uieams oi -iorest Happiness were broken by the alarum ot war. In 1740, when in the zenith of his pop ularity his name was given to the vast couutry which extended from the limits of Bladen to the far waters of the mighty Mississippi. George the III, began to reign ners, conversation and dress were heralded as if she were a goddess Perhaps my lady , tUiditors would like some ; detail?. - Her manners were pronounced by no less a judge than Horace Walpole as "decided ly genteel." Her dress was b white satin, brocaded with gold, distended with enormous hoop?. She had a stomacher of diamotids. On her bead was a cap of finest lace, stiffened so as to' resemble butterfly, fastensd to the front -of the head by jewels I will qadtetd yon one of her speeches. - When she arrived in sight tit 'St. James7 Palace, where she was to meet the groom, the bride turned pale. The Dutcbessof Hamilton- rallied her. The princess replied, "Yes, my dear dutcbess, you may laugh ; you are not going to be married,' but; it is no joke to me It was a tremen dous exciting time. Horace Wal pole writef , "Koyal manages, coro nations and victories came tumb ling over one another from distant parts of the globe, like the work of a lady- romance writer. I don't know where T am. I had scarce fonnd Mecklenburg Strelitz with a magnifying glass on the map be fore I was whisked to Pondicherry. Then thunder go the tower guns; behold Broglie and Soubrire are totally defeated by Duke Ferdi nand, of Brunswick at the'battle of Minden." The joy of this period aud the satisfaction over this mar riage extended to the wilds of North Carolina, and 'the- good queen's names, Charlotte of Meck- enburg, were affixed, as soon as the news came, to a newly, created! county and town. She was a wo man of noble character. She ' was a model of domestic virtues, and the court through her influence was pure in the midst of a corrupt so ciety. And when bur ancestors, in the angry passions of war in 1779, punged from the map the bated es of Tryon rand Bnf cue lnnaDitajixs or tnis sec- tibn were the -Herces nghters against her husband, their swords sharp as hornet stings, they allow ed the name of the; good queen to remain as a perpetual iriDuce to an womanly virtues. Note the coincidence, that just as Aamirai .nson imroaucea Charlotte of Mecklenburg into England, aB j its Queen, so in the distant North Carolina the county of Anson in North Carolina polit ical history went before and was usher to the county of Mecklenburg. It should be a warning lesson, to all rulers that only thirteen years after this ebullition of loyal afiec- tion, the most defiant resolves and the mos": spirited action against England's King came from those enlighteued men, whose county and town bore the name of England s Queen. The chords ot sentimental devotion snapped when strained by hard and real assaults or inherited liberties. With many a sigh over the sweet past, now turned into bit terness, our ancestors addressed themselves to the stern task before them; - ! aim who, though smalHn stature,rbad thecdurage of a giant; went'tb his oureaa drawer, took out tooviand somely chased revolers--on tvls a gift from a Crown Prince ijfrus sia and crept dotririti),tbe iarlor. where' he- saw,';twb men biky at work on a safe constructed in be wall : s it, U j. :t II mi hop that, ! he cried qnickryj "or here's a bullet for each of you.' r ine men turned around in alarm and almost laughed to see thedim inutive figure that stood Ti fitarfeet ofif.
