THE DEATH OF AN AGED CLERGYMAN"
BI MRS. L. H. SIGOURNET.
You will not see him more: You, whose first
thoughts
Blent with his image, who to manhood grew
Beneath the shelter of his saintly shade,
And brought your own young infants to his hand,
For the baptismal water, and lived on
Amid his teachings, till the silver hairs
Came all un looked for, stealing o'er your brow,
You will not see him more.
earth is not eternal. There was a time when
it did not exist. It had a beginning. They
do not determine the time of its beginning.
but they prove its non-eternity. Our invest!
gations result in the undeniable conclusion,
that all organizations have advanced in a pro
gressive series, from the less to the greater ;
long and definite intervals of time occurred
between these series, and if we pursue them
backwards, we will end in losing all evidence
of organization, that is, we will arrive at a pe
riod when there was nothing in existence.
This accords precisely with the Scriptures
They teach that " God created the heaven and
the earth." " Before the heavens were brought
forth, or even thou hadst formed the earth
and the xcorhL even from everlasting to ever
lasting thou art God." Ps. xc. 2. " 1 was
There was a plaee,
Where duly as the day of God rcturn'd,
His solemn voice held converse with the skies,
For you and yours, till more than fourscore years
Swept in billows o'er him. You will hear
That voice no more.
There stands his ancient homo,,
Where, with the partner of his heart, he shared
Affection's joys so long, and fondly marked
His children and his children's children rise
Clustering around his board.
Remember ye
His cordial welcome? how he freely dealt
A patriarch's wisdom, in monitions kind
To all who sought him? how with ancient grace
Of courteous hospitality, he gave
Example of those virtues, pure and sweat,
Which round the hearthstone rooting, have their
fruit
Where men are judged?
He lingered with you late,
Till all the loved companions of his youth
Had gone to rest. Yet so he loved your souls,
That for their sukes, he willingly sustained
Life's toil and cumbrance, and stood forth alone,
An aged oak amid the fallen grove.
His Master called!
It was the Sabbath' morn.
And he had girdled up his loins to speak
A message in the temple. Time had strown
The almond blossom, and his head was white
As snows of winter; yet within his heart
Glow'd the same temperate and unwavering zeal
That nerved his youth.
But lo! the Master called!
So laying down the Bible that he loved,
That single weapon he so meek had borne
Through all the strife of time, he yielded back
The spirit to its Giver, and went home:
Yes, lull of honors, as of days, went home.
GEOLOGY and REVELATION.
BY THE REV. JOHN G. MORRIS.
Unbelievers in the authenticity of the Scrip
tures have frequently invoked the aid of the ,
sciences, to invalidate the evidence on which
the divine origin ot those ancient records is
founded. With the most intense eagerness
have they laid hold of every unimportant cir
cumstance which could be perverted into an
apparent congruity with their own concep
tions. The investigations of the geologist
particularly, have been watched with the keen
est solicitude. They have pursued him in
his examination of mountains and planes and
valleys, have patiently stood by while he
was excavating the earth and have boldly fol
lowed whilst he groped his dangerous way
through unexplored caverns, confidently ex
pecting that his discoveries would reveal facts
fatal to the correctness of the Mosaic cosmo
gony. Some drill and bore
The solid earth, and from the strata there
Extract a register, by which they learn
That Ele who made it, and revealed its date
To Moses, was mistaken in its age.
My design is to show, that there is a per
fect consistency between the facts demonstra
ted by geological researches and the sacred
Scriptures. If this can be done, a strong
weapon will be more firmly established.
It has been often said, that there is a dis
crepancy between science and revelation, and
that consequently both cannot proceed from
the same infinite Being; and as pure science,
or knowledge derived from the works of God,
is evidently of divine origin, it follows that
the Bible cannot be, for God cannot contra
dict himself. But yet, it is passing strange,
that the most profoundly scientific men that
ever lived, were stedfast believers in the Scrip
tures as a divine revelation. Bacon, Locke,
Newton, Davy and many others never dis
covered the incongruity between the works of
God and his word, and it is not likely that it
would have escaped their penetrating minds.
If it had existed. There was a time when re
ligious men were suspicious of physical in
vestigations, and apprehended that they would
be detriinenial to the interests of revealed
truth, but that age happily passed, and the
friends of the Bible now boldly challenge in
vestigation and believe that all the discovories
of modern science will only establish the truth
of divine revelation.
The Bible was not designed to teach men
science, but religion, and hence it employs
language suited to the capacity of every man.
If it were not so, it would be a sealed book tr
thousands of readers, but notwithstanding
this, whatever a revelation asserts in regard
to natural facts must be accordant with alt the
subsequent discoveries of science, otherwise
it could not be of God. Science and revela
tion cannot teach discordant facts. The un
believer endeavors to prove that there is a
striking inconsistency between them, and
consequently rejects revelation, as a book un
safe as a guide in science, and untrue as a
narrative of facts. Ie would be doing riht,
if his conclusions were valid.
set up from everlasting, or ever the earth teas.
Prov. viii. 23. The most conclusive argu
ment against the atheistic hypothesis of the
eternity of the world, is derived from the ge
ological examinations of the world itself.
2. The discoveries of geology show that
before the creation of man, the earth was to a
great extent and perhaps often entirely sub
merged in water. The fossil remains of the
animals of that period show that most of them
were marine or amphibious. The remains of
plants and vegetables, indicate them to have
been mostly such as grow in marshes. The
stratified rocks, the regular layers in clay pits,
the position of animal remains, and other
phenomena, exhibit the frequent and long
continued action of water. This agrees pre
cisely with the Scriptures, which declare that
darkness was upon the face of the deep, and
the Spirit of God moved on the face of the
icaters.
3. It is certain from geological investiga
tions, that the earth has not been the habita
tion of man and of most of the races of animals
now existing, for more than a few thousand
years. It has been before stated, that the
great French naturalist proved from certain
progressive changes on the earth's surface, as
well as from the concurrent traditions of many
nations, that the first appearance of man on
the face of the earth, cannot be referred to a
period farther back than about five or six
thousand years from the present time. We
find no remains of man, and few of such ani
mals as now live on the earth in places where
they could naturally be found, if they had then
existed, and had been destroyed in the gener-
al calamity. Indeed, the earth would not have
been a fit habitation for such a being as man.
It is only in the upper formations that the re
mains of such animals as now exist, are
found, and perhaps human bones, Droving
mat man and tne present tribes ol animals.
are of recent creation. This accords exactly
with the Bible, which teaches that man and
other animals on the earth, were created less
than six thousand years ago.
4. Geological discoveries dcvelope the fact,
that since the creation of man. the whole
earth has been subjected to the sudden and
violent action of ical.er. The whole face of
the earth affords abundant, proof of the deluge.
The man who doubted it, would be consider
ed insane. The evidence of the fact also
shows that the period of its occurrence cannot
have been remote. The Bible tells us the
time and cause of this catastrophe, and thus
its instructions agree with the conclusions of
science.
5. The researches of the geologist show
that the same kind of animals existed before
the deluge which exist now. How were they
preserved from the general destruction ? or
were they all destroyed and afterwards re-produced
? The latter idea is contrary to previ
ous analogy. The Bible gives us the solution.
Different antediluvian animals were preserved
from the desolating effects of the deluge with
Noah in the Ark.
These are a few of the facts in which geol
ogy and the Scriptures illustrate and establish
each other. There are others which are only
probable, but which need not now be men
tioned. Enough has now been said to show
that the unbeliever gains no advantage by
calling on geology to aid him in his attacks
on revealed religion. That science is trium
phantly marshalled against him. Its discov
eries demonstrate the God of nature to be the
God of the Bible, and having come to Ihis
conclusion, we are led to praise
"Him first, Him last, Iiin midst, Him without
cad."

AN AMERICAN GROTTO DEL CANE.
There is said to be a sort of Grotto de
Cane on the Chippewa river, emitting an un
pleasant gaseous odour fatal to dogs or other
animals. This is probably one of those
emissions of carburettedor sulphuretted hydro
gen gas, common in all limestone countries,
bubbling up from beneath the beds of rivers
and crevices of rock. At Fredonia, indeed
in our own state, is presented the spectacle
of a town on Lake Erie beautifully light by
this natural supply from natures own gas
house. The light house itself on the shore
being also furnished from the same source.

. Of "The Nor tli-Carolinian."
The subscriber, having this day purchased of the
proprietors, the presses and types of the " North
Carolina Journal," begs leave to announce to the
public, that he intends, as soon as the necessary ar
rangements can be made, to commence the weekly
publication of a paper at this place, under the above
title. .
Duly sensible of the importance of newspaper
publications to the community at large, and of the
corresponding responsibilities of editors, the editor
of the "North Carolinian" only here promises its
plication, to make the paper a useful channel of!
correct intelligence, upon all subjects of Dublin in.
terest, falling within the range of his limited ex
perience, observation and research.
The columns of the North Carolinian will be
freely devoted to the hearty, but temperate and can
did support of the measures of the present adminis
tration of the general government, on the ground
that the editor believes the principles upon which
ney are lounaeo, 10 oe tnc same whicli havealwa vs
governed the great body of the Democratic Repub
licans of tbe country, as contradistinguished from
the Federal or National Republicans, who mainly
constitute and give character to the opposition par
ty, or self-styled Whigs.
It shall be an object of paramount consideration
in publishing this paper, to draw public attention
to, and concentrate public opinion more zealously
upon, the peculiar interests of North Carolina as
an independent State ; by often presenting to the
reader's observation the State's most prominent
claims to distinction and rank among her sister
States ; by anxiously co-operating with every effort
that shall be made for the full development of her
vast and yet unemployed resources; and by every
other fair means, endeavoring to enkindle and keeD
alive a manly spirit of State pride, (too pro:ie to be
extinguished or kept cold by party bickerings about
federal politics.)

puousneuat vv asmngion, jjistnct ol Coin m bin,
ami delivered .simultaneously in the principle
cities ui tne uniteu oiaies. l ne work is de
voted to the principles of the Democratic party.
It has long been apparent to many of the
irrcflecting members of the democratic party ol
the United States, that a periodical lor the ad
vocacy and diffusion of their political nrincinlea.
similar to those in such active and influential
operation in Englanil, is a desideratum, which
it was very important to supply a periodical
which should unite with the attractions of a
sound and vigorous literature, apolitical char
acter capable of giving efficient support to the
doctrines and measures of that party, now
maintained by a large majority of the people.
Discussing the great questions of polity before
the country, expounding and advocating the
Democratic doctrine thro' the most able pens
that that party can furnish, in articles of irreat
er length, more condensed lonre, more elaborate
research, and more elevated tone than is possi
ble for the newspaper press, a Magazine of thic
character becomes an instrument ol inapprecia
ble value for the enlightening and formation of
public opinion, aid for the support of the prin
ciples which it advocates. By these means, by
this explaining and defending the measures of
the great Democratic party, and by always
lurnishing- to the public a clear and powerlu
commentary upon those complex que! ions of
pol.cy and party which so lcequenlly distract
the country, and upon which, imperfectly un
derstood as they often are by friends, and mis
represented and distorted as they never fail to
be by political opponents, it is of the utmost im
portance that the public should be fully and
rightfully informed, it is hoped that the period
cal in question may be made to exert a beuefi
cial, rational, and lasting influence on the public
moid.
Other considerations, which cannot be too
highly appreciated, will render the establish
ment andjsuccess of the proposed Magazine of
very great importance.
In the mighty struggle of antagonist princi
ples which is now going on in KOciety,t he demo
cratic Party of the United States sia 'ids com
mitted lo the World as the depository and ex
emplar of those cardinal doctrines of political
faith with which the cause of the People in eve
ry age and country is identify i. Chiefly from
the want of a convenient means of concentra
ting the intellectual energies of its disciples, this
party has hitherto been almost wholly unrepre
sented in the republic of letters, while the view
and policy of its opposing creeds are dailv ad
vocated, by the ablest and most commanding
efforts of genius and learning;
In the United Slates Magazine the attempt
will be made to remove this reproach.
The present is the time peculiarly appropri
ate (or the commencement of such an underta
king. The Democratic body of the Union,
altera conflict which tested to the uttermost
its stability and its principles, have succeeded
in retaining possession of the executive adinin
stration of the country. In the consequent
comparative repose from political strife, the pe
riod is auspicious for organizing and calling to
its aid a new and powerful ally orlhis charac
ter, interfering with none and co-operating with
all.
Co-ordinate with this main design ofThe
United Slates Magazine, no care nor cost will
be spared to render it, in a literary point ol view,
honorable to the country, and fit to cope in vi
gor of rivalry with its European competitors.

wrll be appropriated to the following subject 7.

Advantage wilTalso be taken of the means cm.
centrated in this establishment from all quartered V
the Union, to collect and digest such extensive su. V
tistical observations on all the most important in.
tercsts of the country as cannot fail to prove of
very great value.
This portion of the work will be separately
paged so as lo admit of binding by itself, and ifl
be furnished with a copious index, so that tie '
United States Magazine will also constitute a Co. '
plete Akkoai Register, on a scale unattemplej
before, and of very great importance to all classes,
not only as affording a current and combined view
from month to month of the subjects which it ifl
comprise, but also for record and reference throuol,
future years; the value of which will increase wrti
the duration of the work.
Although in its political character The Unhej
States Magazine addresses its claims to support
particularly to the Democratic party, it is hoped
that its other features referred to above indepen. ,
dently of the desirable object of becoming acquaint.
ed with the doctrines of an oDDonent thus ad von.

support from all parties, and from the large class ol
no party.

lying upon the united support of the Democratic
party, as well as from others, the price of subscrip

Papers copying this prospectus, and publishing
it till July, will be furnished with the .Magazine for
one year, by sending a copy of the paper to the
Publisher!.. mar 2.
Congressional globe, and
i APPE ;DIX. These works have been pub
lished hy us for six yeais. There are now more
issued, probably, than of any other paper pub
lished in the United Stales; certainly more that
there are for any other paper published in the
District. This lare and increasing subscrip
tion is conclusive evidence of their usefulness.
They are invaluable to all who leel an interest
in the proceedings ol Corgi-ess. No other pub
lication gives them so lull, nor half so cheap.
It is, indeed, the cheapest publication in the
United States perhaps in the world. Our po
sition at the seat ol" Government enables us to
print them at so low a rate. We are compelled
lo publish the proceedings of Congress in details
for our daily paper. This done, it requires,
comparatively, bui a smaii additional expense'
to change them to the forms of the Congress
sional Globe and Appendix If it were not for
these circumstances, we could not publish l hem
lor lour times the sum charged.
The Congressional Globe is ml nr. .r .i
daily proceedings of the two houses of Con
gress, and the speeches ol the members con
densed. The yeas and navs on all imrwinom
subjects are -riven. It is published weekly with
small type, on sixteen royal quarto pases.
l he Appendix contains the speeches ol the
men.bers at full length, written by themselves,
and is printed in the same form as the Congres
sional Globe. It is published as fast as the
speeches can be prepared. Usually there are
more numbers printed lor a session than there
are weeks in it.
Each of these works is complete in itslef.
But it is desirable for every subscriber to have
both ; because if there should be any ambiguity
in the synopsis of a speech in the Congressional
Globe, or any denial of its correctness, it may
be removed at once, by referring to the speech
in ihe appendix.
Indexes to both are sent to subscribers, as
soon as they can be prepared after the adjourn
ment of Congress.
TERMS.
For one copy of the Congressional Globe, $1
One copy of the Appendix, I1-
Six copies of either of the above works will
be sent lor $5, twelve copies for $10, and a
proportionate number of copies for a larger'
sum. -
Payments may be transmitted by mail, post--age
paid, at our risk. The notes of any in
corporated hank in the United States, current
in the sect ion of country where a subscriber re
sides, will be received. But when subscribers
can procure the notes of banks in the Northern
and Middle Slates, ihey will please send them-
To insure all the numbers, the subscription
should lie here by the 1 1 th of December next-
The Democratic papers with which we ex
change, will please give this prospectus a few
insertions.
JVb attention will be paid to any. order, unless
the money accompany tt, or unless some respon
sible person, known to us to be so, shall agree:
to pay for it before the session expires.
