A Presbyterian missionary was once coiiversin; with a native chief, and told Ii i in that without Christianity his peo ple were lost, famishing, naked. The chief replied: "II one of my children were lost in the forest and I should go to seek him with a torch in my hand, would he not come to the light f If he were famishing and I should oiler him bread, would he not take it ? If he were nuked antl I should give him cloth ing, would he not put it on ? Come, then, and teach my people the truth." That part of the western coast which has been visited by missionaries.extends from Senegal, 13 North lat. to Ben- this whole coast was desolated by the slave trade ; there was not a single church throughout its length and breadth ; the white man was known only as the inhuman monster who fo mented strife among the native tribes to prosper his own accursed traffic. Now there are seventy christian church es on this coast, in which there assem ble fifteen thousand native converts who have thrown their idols to the moles and the bats. There are twelve thou sand children in the mission schools. The Scriptures have been translated into about forty native dialects. Dut Christianity ia not without op position. Her greatest enemy is Ma homedanism.

Sacrifices must be made for the at tainment of any great and good object. It is our duty to work and our privi lege to suffer in thisglorious cause. In conclusion, the African mission should engage the especial attention of the South. In this way only can the im mensejdebt we owe to the down-trodden negro be partially cancelled.

Such is a brief comnenduim nf this eloquent discourse. We have seldom beheld a more impressive scene than when that holy man, raising to heaven his sightless eyeballs, exclaimed, "It is a precious Di ivilece to suffer in surh a glorious cause !" The sermon loses much, ol its etiect in this extract, as it is made onlv from such iinnrf,.iii,i,, as could be taken while it was deliver ing. We think, howev er, that the facts and arguments herein rnnt.iinml ran. not fail to convince any candid read er. And if it is our duty to send the gos pel to the heathen beyond the Atlantic, what is our duty to the heathen at our own doors? We cannot deny that, in this age of light and liberty, thousands of our fellow creatures are kept in a state of profound ignorance by legisla tive enactment. Is such a state of things justifiable? We pronounce most unhesitatingly that our slaves should have the Bible. A knowledge of that book from which are drawn the strong est arguments for the lawfulness of sla very, can ao tne slave no harm. A re luctance to put the Bible into the hands of the blacks betrays, on the part of the master, a reluctance to have his conduct judged by its standard. Let christian slaveholders take into con sideration this momentous question, What is our duty to our slaves ?" BL'LUS. Cas't Afford it. At this season of . the year, when people are called upon to subscribe to papers, the excuse "I can't afVord it," is very frequently made, which being interpreted, means " I regard other things of more conse quence to myself and family than a newspaper."
