To CorrespondenU- Duriog the abHence of the Editor, there are many letter received that will have to b laid anile for him to attend to on bis return. Aisong them is th one enclosing jewelry with which to pursbase tracts. Precision in Christian Duty. We sometimes htar that this or that per son is very precise in the performance of Christian duty; that is, more particular than i necessary to meet the requirements of God. In tbeVloeing chapter of Exodus in a description of the offerings made to the Lord, and in that day it was expected that every such offering was to be "brought with a willing heart," and those only were called to tKis service whose "hearts made them willing." The reader will observe that the description of the work for the service of the sanctuary is very precise; no part of which are we warranted iu saying was un important, even to the number of loops upon the edge of the curtains. The temple and its furniture are desrib ed in the fint book of Kings. So, a'if-o is the building and furniture of Lebanon ; and all are recorded with accuracy. It would strike the careless reader and thinker, that in these arrangements and descriptions there was quite a useless particularity; and though in some measure entertaing they cannot be considered ns instructive. This is a mifctake. They teach the im portant lesson that totliLg done in or for the sanctuary of God, is to be performed carelessly, hecdlees-ly or irreverently and Though in -the Christian dispensation, since "Christ has brought life and immor tality to light," we have no requirement to perform the actual service of these years, yet we may be assured that the same obe dience "io do all that I have commanded you," is as binding under tbe new as the old dispensation. JJy Christian brother would dislike to have an) thing left out or done contrary to his directions, in the building of a house, making furniture or a garment. Sep pose .the workman were to fay, "Oh, sir, that is but a trifle." Would you not tell him that you were the proper judge of what suited yeu and what you wanted to have done ? And is not God the prope r judge of what you should do in bis church ? How can you then take upon yourself to omit duty, as though our Lord was not in earn est when he defined that duty ? Remem ber the words of our Lord : "lie that h ah my commandments and keepeth them, be it is he that loveth me." "If a man love me, he will keep my word." And what are the duties which we must perform to show our love to Christ ? All that he has enjoin ed upon us in his Word, either delivered by Himself, or through his teachers, the Apos tles. All that is specially commanded and all that is clearly to be inferred from these commandments. Certainly among them is the keeping of your covenant with the brethren; performing the promises made to each other as to the manner in which we will mutually serve God. In these are em bodied, public service; private and family prayer; class meetings; comforting the poor aud the needy ; visiting the sick, and many others well known to tbe brethren none of which you can neglect without bringing shame upon the sacred name of Christian, with which God has endowed you. Snow and Ice. Oa Monday last, the 26th of April, we had a regular north easter storm. A cold, chilling rain fell all day, intermingled with snow for a considerable portion of the time; and on the following morning, ice was seen rather plentiful for the health of vegeta tion. We believe, however, little damage was done to the tender plants and the fruit. There was a pretty smart frot yes terday morning. The National Magazine- We have received the May number of the National Magazine, published by Carl ton & Porter, N. York, and Snordstedt & Poe, Cincinnati, Ohio; James Flay, editor, at 82 a ycs;r. The work has attained a high rank for its literary and artistic merits, and foe iU strictly moral character." Comfort in Affliction. In the time of aHietioo, man ii made to feel hii help'ewmess. Whatever may be the nature or degree of the distress or ca lamity, human nature looki aroun 1 for help, being conscious that no rest within it-elf can be found for tbe agitated heart Pnilosopby affects to teach patience and submission ; but it is afifecUtioo only; for bo reasoning will bring any other result than the q lerolous inquiry, " What hare I done that I should be aflhted-tbus ?" This implies the very abnce of resigna tion to tho decree3 of fate, or whatever el this science may choose to term tbeeventi of an over-ruling Providence. helper, by stoicisru ii brought up a a some, in thu hour ef adverity. This u but a brmch of philosophy, falsely o call ed. Zkno, who founded the sect that are called .Stoiek?, taught that men should be free from pwion, unmoved by joy or grief, and subrutt' without complaint, to the in evitable n-.ce-.siiy by which all things are governed. We venture to say that there u not a aingle reader of this article who wi:l not feel and know that this is but a barren theory, susceptible of no practical fruit whatever. Some strive to find comfort in grief by appliance which are used in a vain attempt to " drown sorrow" as it is called . In gay amusements, in licentious indulgence?, in the intoxicating bowl, and in numberless false and delusive pictures of peaca and joy, that the enewy of God and man holds up to the view of the deluded victim. These ephemeral presentations pass, and leave thf perceptious to contemplate scenes of darkness and gloom ; and, like the ignis fatuus, with a false and treacherous light leads the pursuer into pits and quagmires. "Whero shall that wisdom" be found, that brings comfort in affliction? Wcare taught it " cannot be gotten for gold, neith er shall silver be weighed for the price thereof. It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx or the sapphire. The gold and the crystal cannot equal it, and the exchange of it shall not be fr jewels of fine gold. No mention shall be made of coral or of pearls ; for the pi ice of wisdom is above rubies. The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, ueither shall it be valued with fine gold." And who is he that will assert that these liifitra .ire so? Everv man who has heed- """o ed the admonition, that "the fear of the Lord" is wisdom, and to " de part from evil is understanding." shall he hide me. He shall set me upup- on a Rock." If David could so firmly trust in the God ef his salvation, and feel confident of being "set up upon" a Rock, which " Ilnck is Christ," surely the Chris tian need be at no loss in regard to the onlyouice of comfort in affliction ; but t " . . 1 1 . . " -w unnesitatmjiiy looie to ana trust in Jesus, who has promised not to leave him coin fortless. Will you not remember and ap ply the promises that are suited to your case ? " In the world you shall have trib ulation, but be of good cheer, Ihaveovr comc the world." " Lo! I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." In connexion with the promise of the Holy Ghost, the Comforter, it is written : "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Many are the Eromi.ses of God that he will never forsake his people. Re member, the word of our God will not re turn unto him void. " Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away, are eoe woreu oi vjnnst to tne sufferer, as an injunction to believe, trust and confide in him. Forget not the bles- sed words which so many cf your fellow Christians have found to be of abiding comfort and confiding trust, "I am thy God aud I will help thee." Christ is our " all iu alL" As the Elder Brother in the household of your Father, he sympathizes with you Do you not re member that he sympathized and wept and mourned over Jerusalem, the beloved city of God, that "killed the prophets and stoned those that were sent unto them," on account of the judgments that were to fall upon those who were to crucify Him aud ha ted him and his Father also? Much more then will he sympathize with those who love him. At the trrave of Lazarus, he " went with th se that wept," and " mourned with w , , - those that mourned, and bid Lazarus come forth from the dead, to the joy of his friends, who loved Jesus and whom the Savior did love -and to convince those around that he was the Messiah, of whom Moses in the La.v and the Prophets did write the Redeemer of Israel, the Son of God, the Saviour of the world, now can you thiBk, from these and other records, that he will ever forsake you, unless you have forsaken Him? "rather, thy will be done!" Is not j this tho prayer expressive of the feeling of j the Christian's heart? Remember that ; Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane, when he did sweat great drops of blood, and when his pure and holy humanity did shudder and shrink from the awful cup which he was to drink for your salvation, when beseeching the Father, if it were J possible, that that cup might pass from him," then said, " nevertheless, not what I will, but aa thou wilt." ortlj Brother, are you not ready V xc!aim, after th"n reeiu! Oa shaaae, oh thasie to me. Help me to say, Uto, bleei Jns, in regard to tiee Dvthhg of safL-riog compared to thine, not ray will, but thine be done, in all tbiog oaseraiog me, oh God of merey, Gi of late.

Christian Perfection. It i3 a mistaken notion, that when Chris tians arrive at that pint called Perfection or Perfect Assurance, they may Jay down the implements of their warfare.- Not so. It is said, " Wo unto theru that are at ease in Zion." This should serve as a caption, and wc should be alarmed if we are becoming satinfied with our attain ments. In the spiritual, as well as the j temporal warfare, the higher the promo- ' tiou the more is expected. As the glit tering appendages of rank in the latter, make the subject the mark for the aim of the enemy, bo do the epiritual graces in the former excite the fiery darts of Satan, and give rie to " divers temptations. Remember the trials, persecutions and temptations which were encountered by the noble Paul who was a chosen vessel to bear the name of Jesu3 "before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel." Not only his history, but that of a great many others, shows the application of the promise, " In the world you shall have tribulation." The declared experience of every Christian who makes the profes sion to which we allude, confirms what we say. Expect not thco, brethren, that yoa are to cease to " fight the good fight of faith," till "Faith in sight is swallowed up, Aud prajer in endless praise." Dedication. A Brother beloved, informs us, that ''according to previous notice, the new M. E. ChurcL in Salisbury was dedicated on Sunday the 25th inst.; by Rev. Charles F. Deems, D. D., of Wilmington. He took for his text Col. 1- 16" All things were pcutrral rVnrVrss opduire hertnioirs observing that as in physical science, as tronomical inductions render it probable that there is some rraod cen'ral orb around j whjch alJ otber Buns and Fystenjs reVolre, and to which they stand related ; so like wise we have reason to believe, on the au- ; tborit of nim who hath ordaiued tho 1 I whoie that all the great truth3 in theUni- verse of matter and of mind, are connected with Christ Jsus as their centre; and it is with reference to this and this on!y,that their profound significance and real valae can be determined. " Whether there be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers things in heaven or things on the earth" spiritual or material, animate or inanimate, all are made subservient to the accomplishment of th plans and purposes of Christ in the re demption and ultimate salvation of man. In the further development of this inter esting theme, the learned Doctor took a i loftJ comprcbensive and philosophic range of thought, holding enchained the atten tion of his audience, by the sublimity of his conceptions, the purity of his style, the beauty of his imagery, the irresistible pow er of the truths presented, and above all, by " the unction of the Holy Ghost," with which he appeared animated, making his face to shine at times as if he had a glimpse of Deity, while with unusual sweetness the deep tones of his voice, subdued in that august Presence, fell upon our ears and touched our hearts like the song of angels The widespread fame of Dr. Deems, as a pulpit orator, and his great popularity in this region, drew out a crowd to hear him, all of whom appeared delighted and edi. fied. At the close of the sermon a propo sition was made to liquidate tbe debt on the building before the dedicatory service should take place. The promptness and liberality with which the congregation res ponded to this proposition, exceeded our most sanguine expectations ; indeed there was but little more than sufficient time to write tbe names of the subscribers before the requisite amount seven hundred dol lars was pledged, and at night about 1, 000 00 more were raised to assist the la dies in completing the furniture. The church is built of brick, has a tow er and bell, is finished and furnished in the inside tastefully and conveniently, and has been pronounced by many to be one of the neatest and most commodious church edi fices of its size in the State.

Bro HfcELlN: As much has been said in relation t. the Methodist Convention which waj p,r-ed to , J-the town t"n ttotontttS grievous wrotgs which it was alledged had been impo?ec upon the Virginia Confer - ence by the procedings of the Norih Caro lina Couftrer.ce at its last Session and tor -rererrer anrs aj-proa( hing scftfoXf, illay not be wholly uninteresting to you to learn something of the proceedings of this Con- Te,,'ri0D. - . Hie Convention met pursuant to notice : ti. ... k ., , ii - i weuttnrough the umuii tormalities, aud pro- ceedtd to business; but in point of ,,. bers it was rather a diminutive affair. Frob- ably not one third of the Methodists resi ding within the limits of the disputed ter ritory were represented. This circumstance was aitrihuted to the swollen state of the adjacent stn ams caused by recent rains ; but, in fact, it was mainly attributable to the atseuce of all interest in the subject upon which it had been said our people were largely exercised. That this was the case, is apparent from the fact that, in tbe town of Dansilie,where the Buhj';et of the transfer has been more agitated ihau in any portion of the District, and comprising as it does, a membership ! of 141, at a preliminary meeting a few days previous to the Uonvention held for the purpose of selecting delegates to repre sent them, only 34 attended the meeting. Notwithstanding it was held on a beautiful Sabbath afternoon after the church bell had been solemnly tolled ! That einjilar, if not greater apathy has prevailed in other portions of the district where the subject was less zealously canvassed, may, I think, be properly inferred. Should the proceed ings f this convention go up to tbe Gener al Conference as an expression of the wishes of a majority of tbe Methodists residing within the District, it will show a state of things that was not apparent at the Con vention, however ic may be brought about, in future, by a more effectual system of drumming. That portion of the proceedings of the Convention, relative to the " remidialionl of Randolph Macon College" and the '-eas- nal and intlifferent notice of the Danville retuale College, by the iastN. C Confer ence, is but a rehash of the stereotyped charges of the Richmond Christian Advo cate and i:s compeers, which have been so often and so successfully refuted, that further comment at this time is deemed un necessary. It is to be hoped that the whole subject from its origin to its present date, will be brought fully and fairly before the General Conference, which will be composed in part of those, but for whom this unfortu nate difficulty never would have existed. May their action in the premiseg be such as will restore peace to our too long dis tracted borders a difficulty which ha3, throughout, been more becoming of the world than of the Church. AN EYE WITNESS Melancholy Accident. The Char lotte N. C Whig of the 20th inst. says : On Saturday last,a young man by the name of Biggers was badly injured about 1 miles from town. He was driving a wagon to town and the saddle mule became fright ened by the waggon running upon him, broke loose and threw him with such vio lence as to break both bones in the left leg a few inches above tbe ankle and otherwise injured him. He was brought to town and the Physician who attends him eays he hnpes he can save his leg. We, hewever, believe that tne weather is so warm tfcat it will ba a diKcuJt matter. SMocatc. L. 22.

Boston Journal. The But Murder at Albany. We have mentioned the fact of a murderous affray be tween two hoys, in Albany, during which one was killed. The origin of the affair was a dispute about a game of marbles. Michael Naughtun, the youthful murderer, was going to a slaughter house at which he is employed, and had a small butcher's knife in his pock et. The first that the bystanders observed was that there was a clinch and scuffle be tween them, and J s-ph O'Callahan was thrown djwn. lie immediately cried out that he was stabled. Naughton was at once arrested, and the knife found. There was blood upon the blade of the weapon to the . . C .

The b -v Naughton is twelve years ot age. O'Callahan is not quite so old. He i repre sented as 1 aving been an intelligent lad. Naughton is an orphan, and lived directly opposite the heme of bis victim. After his arrest and committal he did not seem to ap preciate the enormity of his crime, and ex cused his act by saying that the deceased had no right to take his marbles. This ter rible tragedy created great excitement in th vicinity of its occurrence, and the agony jf the parenta of the murdered boy was health rending. It is a fearful chapter in the tsaey ones of blood, doubiy so from the tandtc years of the parties to it. Infidels Tuwakted.
