It lias been custom ary to ridicule the severity of Puritan )ws, and to hold np the "Blue Laws of Connecticut" to objoqny, as if they were fts--bloody as the code of Draco. In a lit tle bcok in iny library, entitled, "Blue . Laws of Connecticut," I lind a chapter lieadwl, "C.tpltal! Znrr.'?" In that chap ter there arc en nmcrated fourteen offenses o-be punished "with death ; each of the fourteen, except one are exactly the of fenses to which tlie laws of Mcses aflixed the deatlr penalty. And that ia all there is in the "Blue Law" charge. But in a book jnst puWiVjirTl, written by an En t 'glishnian, I read that English law, till . of late year., recognised tvo lrundred and ,twenty-th.ee capital oSenscs.

The germ of many of lhegreat 'mechanical forces was in existence a huiidred years ago, but had not gone into use.

Human kind, ness for iho uufortuuate lias been arous ed, as never before, in the history of our race. But time demands that I should leave this interesting subjects Those who wish to find a compendious view of these snbiects, generally reliable, will find it iu McKenzie's "Nineteenth Century," which has been freely used in compiling the foregoing facts. But there are sever al wther cheering facts that must be meu tinned in the close of this discourse. s." i ne urst oi tnese is tno modern re vival of experimental and personal reli gion. Iu all ages God has had his faith ful vnes who lived apart from the work But there were times when personal reli gion appeared to be generally sunk be neath a mass of formalism, indijJVrence, Moderatism sometimes of Pelagianism and sociaianism. Such a period existed a lojmlred years ago. The life and spirit of-the Reformation age, and of Puritan zeal and sniritualitv had decaved. Bat throngli all this country Revivals bleed the' people near the begiuning of the ceu tnry; Mnch of this awakeuiug, under God, is to be attributed to the fervor aud zeal of the "people called Methodists." The church from which they came out and which did not justly appreciate them and; all the other churches, have receive a great.blcssing from the emphasis whicl they have given to the doctrine of an ex perimental change of heart, and of a spiritual regeneration, in order to salva tion. Not that other churches did not in danger of being overlooked, in the zeal for orthodoxy, church order, or forms of aidmiaistration and discipline. 9 Auother special clKiracterjstic of tliis century is tho revival of the Mission Spirit. The last command of the Savior was, to go iuto the world and preach tho gospel to every creature. The early church obeyed that command, nor was it ever entirely forgotten. But one hun dred years ago it was practically disre? garedy the great body of the Protest aufchurches. When kin 1795 some good men invited tho clmrch of Scotland to ff.vor Foreign Missions, she declined it. Wlcn Eobertiialdane, in 1796, wished to go as a. Missionary to Bengal the East Iudia; ? .Company refused permission. When youug Caitjy, the Baptist Minister of Leicester, a fow.-year beforo, proposed in an Association to consider the duty of sending mUsionariea to the heathen, a veuerabje minister told him to sit dowu -T-if the Lord wanted the heathen con verted, he would find means to convert them. Bat Carey would uot be still. He wrote, and preached, and prayed for Foreign Missions, and in 1792 took up a collection for the cause, w hich amounted to sixtyrsix dollars. Thus arose the Bap tist Missionary Society, first-born of all onr Great, Missionary Associations, Next year Carey weut himself to India. Others followed.. All the . churches engaged iu tlio: .wurk, Until, not . Iydja, but Chiua, Japaq, Siam, Africa, and the Islands of the sea have bean visited and the Gospel planted in them. This is mostly the work of the last sixty years. Great Britain now sends out one thousand missionaries and expends $3,000,000 annually for their support, Tt Continental churches em ploy fsnr hundred missionaries and ex peud $000,000 to 'sustain them. America contributes 550 men aud gives $1,500,000, in all there are 2000 Protestant wissiona. ries in heathen land, supported by au an nual contribption. of $5,000,000.

And it is in the present generation that enlightened statemen .UaTjUtteojedt cootidec theUciUil iUlJOAde shortly. afterwards social, ciril and economical aspects. It ia a soareajof gratification to learn that 50, 000 of the most intelligent, and virtuous of the voters of North Carolina, and 300,000 of heriintelligebt women are ready and anxions to wiine out this : terrible curse from society by legal enactment. The iuflnence of these christians and pa triots is no idle thing. It will bo felt in time. It is simply a question of time, an end to be labored for and prayed for, nn- til the ej es of all o(tr people shall be opened to, the; light of truth &ndbristian charity. Perhaps tlie 20th century will reap the harvest which the - patriots and Christianspf the 19th hare sowed in hope. 12. fhe last, but not the least encour aging symptom of this age is the rise of the bauds called "Young Men1 Christian Associations. This is an institution, ia temled to bring healthful tnoral, religious social lufiuences to bear upon young men, under the the control and direcctioa of young men. Though it is still iu itsin- fancyiMiaalrestdy dorte much good, and if its original niras are strictly pur sued, it is calculated to be an inestimable blessing to tlie world. I recommend it to the sympathy, tlie assistance and the prayers of all who love the Lord Jesus Christ. - I have thus shown in twelve distinct de partments of labor and progress, that it is not wise to prcier the former days to the days in which: our lot ias fallen. For all these reasons, as well as many more, we are called upon tb-day to reudejr thanks to the Gracious and Sovereign Disposer of all things. In closing I tall: your attention to the North Carolina Orphan Asylum. In it are gathered huncji-sds of children deprived of their parent?, and who aic dependent upou tlie kindness of the Christian and benevo leut people of the State, for their subsis tence, and for the education and moral train ing that will make them happy and useful citizens of this: Commonwealth. You know the character of tlie Institution you know the faithful and efficient Superintendent. In addition to ourtributeof vocal and heart felt praise and thanksgiving to God, let us now make an offering in money to be ex pended in clothing, supporting and educat ing the orphans of the State iu the Asylum at Oxford.

The British navigator and Commander Cheyne, delivered a very interesting lee? tare in New York last week, on his recent Artie Explorations, exhibiting some of tho best illustrations of scenes yet given. He proposes the use of balloons after rcachiug the coal deposits on Smith's sound, 500 milcs.in a-diieet line from tho Pole. ; Waler for Fuel is not a new idea It is the decomposition of water ia association with carbon, forming combustible gases of which hydrogen is tho chief. The New York Tribune announces that a lo comotive is now in process of construc at Patterson, X, J to be run by the con sumption of gas made from water: in other words, tlie new engine is to be run without the burning of either wood or coal. Tlo Scientific Aiiieripan, the best authority on such subjects, is of the opinion that the result of the experiment may afford a useful hint ou the use of naptha fuel in places when it is more needed than ou a locomotive.
