F.verv power, faculty, ailcction, pas.-ioa an 1 appetite, in their exercise, is es sential to the perfect, complete and harmo nious development of mail's nature, in the beauty, strength and symmetry of the chris-ti.-m character. This being the case, taste as if is natural to man must have a moral hn-P'.-vuinee, raid exert a moral influence in the iiiiivere of mind, that is not generally recog-ni.-.e"!. Its importance will become apparent t cverv rellectinsr mind, from the rich pro v'io:i that (-Jod has made for its gratification in t ;- rihiriou-i crvaiusn. The bright heav . :'i. the greet! earlh, the golden sun light, the .-i'v-r moonbeams, the giowmg star-, the Ik, n-r iiower.s. the vaving t'.-.re.t, the sing eds, the towering moiir.ttv'i.', the swell- in -r hills, the extended plains, the majestic rivers, the meandering streams, the chrystal fount :: a.-, the babbling brook and the deep l ine sea, all indicate the rich provision which (rod has made for the gratification, exercise, ar.d development of man's taste. Its importance is also evident from the fact, that it is one of tae perfections of the di vine: at ure one of the beauties of tho di vine mind. Body and soul, mind and mat ter, the worlds above and the world around us, the world within and the world without us, ad bear marks of God's taste. He lias made a display of it everywhere. In the val ley and the meadow, the hill and dale, the mountain and plain, the continents and oceans. All nature has been made to glow with God's lovs of the beautiful. I .'astr: is the source of much that makes tho "r!d and the race, great and glorious. Take ' in the world all the fine arts which are the "ons of taste, and what would be left? r;-S:"t tould be the influence upon the raoral- U 1 i. ,vi 'ence, religion and civilization of , :f,.re wore to strips irom existence iiiri race, n . , - . paivitinp, ocv.oture, arcuitecture, music ana poetry ? "What would have been the condi tio a of society if the fine arts had never come int.; bdrg?" Tint for their influence man would m.w be a savage, and the world a wil derness. The intellect would bo in darkness and the spirit the bond slave of vice. If vou were to strike from the world all that architecture, painting, drawing, sculp ture and poetry h;-.s doue to adorn and beau tify it. how much glory, sublimity or loveli would remain? Strike from the society rf the world's great intellects, all the great painters, sculptors, architects, musicians and poets, and it would affect the glory of the in- cliectaal system, as greatly as quenching the fires, and extinguishing the light of a third part of the stars that blaze upon the brow of nirrht. Taste crives employment to half the world's labor, and support to half of earth's laborers. Suppose- all tho labor was dispensed will; that is Employed for th- gratification of taste unit is employed in beautifying, adorning, ar.d making our habiiation and its occupants b.vpiy, how many mc-n and women would be thrown out of employment ? How many fam ilies would have no means of subsistence? Caii yuu easily estimate the moral influence cf a system that gives so many men and wo men employment, and provides food and rai ment, comforts and education for so many fa mil i es? Ta.-.te i3 benevolent in its operations. It cr.yes to the comfort and relief of society in that way, that stimulates industry and culti vates feelings of self-respect and indepen 1 euc-p. In this way it educates the intellect, the heart and the conscience, and develops the whole nature of man in beauty, strength ai d symmetry. ii is tho sourer of much of the pleasure and enjoyment of life. It brings its blessings :nd bestows its favors on all. The rich and ;-,., rdd and young, the illiterate and cultiva ted all enjoy the beauties of nature the earth and sky, the field and forest, fine dwell ings, cities, furniture, clothes, music, paint ing j.nd poetry the beauty of the human face and the musical notes of the human voice. Taste spreads her banquet of .pleas ure for all, and none are excluded from her. l owers of bliss. The fine arts have ever been (he handmaids of religion. Music has noted down her brmns ; painting has represented her in her glorious triumphs; sculpture de lighted in beautifying her tombs and building monuments to her immortal dead; architec ture lias built her temples, sublime and beau tiful as her own thoughts. J. W. T. A few Plain Words to iMethodists. UY RV. T. E. Your r.tU.ntion has been directed before ibis to the financial embarrassments of your ministry. The writer of this desires to place before you a few figures which you will please consider well and "govern yourself accord ingly." If your are really a christian, you are 'conscientious and jW; you are willing to confirm your v.clion to that standard of light which Christ himself instituted, to wit: u to do unto others as you would be done by." If you are a sincere Methodist you are great ly attached to your church. You love its pure, eimple, evangelical doctrines; its spir itual and tender hymnology; its wise and ju dicious polity ; its scriptural, pioneering itin erancy. In a word, you love Methodism for what it is, and tiand pledged to carry out its principles Jvlly, and to faith fully support its interests. You are willing to contribute to ?;our utmost that its ministry may be decently Lnd comfortably maintained ; you are willing to abide the gospel slundaid of christian te- nificence " io give as the Jjtrd 7ias prosper ed you." These things being premised, please consider attentively, the following list of necessary articles which a minister was compelled recently- to purchase" at ruinous rates, and comparing the prices with those previous to iho war, upon your conscience an swer Ciod, how he and all oilier ministers are to live. Th.-re is but one-answer: yeni must either so increase his pay as to allow the pur chase cf prime necessaries even at factitious war prices, or you must reduce the price of tMings to the standard which you have created yourself in the allowance you have made him, or he must perish or abandon tho ministry. And what a fate is this for the conscientious, useful minister! No minister who is true to his covenanted promise s desires to make mon ey from laboring in the gospel vineyard, but ail ministers desire and have a right to ex pect and demand a respectable; maintenance. They require, now the same amount of food and clothing that was necessary before tho ,w, and they ask no more. I Ii.: io no sense can they be called "extortioners, " for "the workman is worthy of his hire" is en titled to food and fuel and nict. cr comforts and conveniences .' th But let me give the li.-t of prices : VV. rrlccts r 1 side Upper Leather, $o0 00 ind ot.li s life. to ices. $3 00 2 30 25 G G2 08 1 25 1 75 17 00 2?l yds Brown Shilling, (coarse) I pound Black Pepper, o9 yards Homespun, -1 doz Horn buttons, II pounds Salt, & barrel Meal, 10G pounds Bacon, 43 00 5 00 88 30 2 00 15 40 i: oo 100 00 -301 70 ;?32 25 The prices of various articles may vary in different portions of the Conference, hut the average will be, 1 suppose, about the same. Will not the Stewards on the different cir cuits see to it at the next. Quarterly Confe rence, that their minister is so provided for, that there shall lie no want and no debts made in order that he and family may live? Will not, the paying and praying member; promptly and cheerfully come up to the res cue, and contribute in such amounts that destitution and financial difficulties may be spared to the ministry. Itemember that the ministry generally have to buy everything, and that 1000 now will not bay more than $125 would three years ago. Remember that the allowance of $1,500 which you have made for your minister's support for the cur rent year is ' not more than $ 1 75 in peace times, when you deemed $800 or 900 not too much. Remember these things, and may the God of grace comfort yon with .His love and induce you to discharge your entire christian duty both to God and the Church. Amen. Letter to the Soldiers. My Dkak Friends: If you will for one moment consider the vast issues involved, you will certainly acknowledge that the sub ject of religion demands your prompt and earnest attention. 'Too much of your life has been spent in ungodliness, love of the world or suicidal recklessness. Oh what enjoy ments and achievments were possible to those sacred hours which are past forever ! Perhaps you have very few days left in which to attend to this most important of all duties. Perhaps you have but little time to dedicate to your God, while you owe him all your life. Hence " be wise to-daytis madness to defer." Be assured that unless you devote more faith ful attention to the matter than you have heretofore, you will soon be in eternity and unprepared for its :trem3ndous realities. Be not deceived t You must do something! You must work j oil must do your part as directed by the Bible The devil is working fearfully against you while you are thought less and idle. Now in order to understand the probabilities of your spiritual destiny, al-' low me to ask u-Jtcn do you Ihiidc you will become a christian? Is it possible that you are living in this uncertain world with this great matter undecided? Have you left it till now among the vague fancies and ran dom thoughts of your mind? Have you ap pointed a time for thu duty ? Is it postpon ed to a future day ? Pray tell me, is there anythli.iT on earth to justify your risking your soul till" that fixed time? Perhaps the regis ter of your death will antedate that day. In view of your carclc-s and undetermined treatment of the subject, is it not very likely that you will never be converted ? that you will die in your sins and be lost? When will you seek for pardon through the merits of your cruohed Redeemer? When? Oh God send thy spirit to prompt the soldier to an swer, "Note! I will seek Him. r .v.-: 1" Help him Father, to give Thee hi- J: ::t just now ! Will you not, dear friend,' yield .nd be saved? Thank God that it is not too inte for j'ou I Do not hazard so much any longer. Affectionately, -re. Vv. Maxgcm. Golhseop.o', N. C. Pertinent Counsel. .In a number of Harper's Monthly, pub lished nearly five years ago, the following excellent advice by John "Wesley is cop ied and enforced with emphasis. It is commended to those who then gave it cir culation. John Wesley was a wise as well as a gtod man. He displayed his wisdom in ' the framework of the mighty ecclestasti- m . : , v i : i i.i... . , , , .... - - - - ------ - ready become one of the powers in the world. Iti the fragment" of his writings that arc now floating on the pnges of the current literature, wc find this brief pas sage worthy of Wesley, worthy of any body, worthy of an angel ! Wc put it in to the Drawer, and therefore endorse it, for which Mr Wesley would doubtless be rery much obliged to the Drawer: "Condemn no man for thinking as you think. Let every one enjoy the full lib erty of thinking for himself.- Let every man use his own judgment, since every man must give an account of himself to God. Abhor every approach in any kirul or degree to the spirit of persecution. If you cannot reason or persuade a man into the truth, never attempt to force him in to it. If love will not compel him, leave him to God, tho Judge of all." tJustavus Adolphus Army Song.

HoffWai may be kept lioni Harden ing Us, Oivrlyie give? a characteristic definition of battles as terrible conjugations of the verb, '-to kill, I kill, thou killest, he kills; we kill, kill, they kill, all kill." This work of death is likely to exting uish, for the time, all feelings of humani ty. From the Crimea, an English soldier wrote : "In battle, the passion to kill and destroy is raised within us ; our Hood boils for reveugc." Another, describing his state of inind duritig a hotly contested engagement, wrote : UI never certainly felt less fear in my life than I did at that time; and I hope God will forgive me, for I felt more like a devil than a man." From India, a soldier, who had u?een Sikhs murdering the wounded cf the ene my, and then petting fire to thorn tis they lay bleeding," wrote: ':0 mother! .sweet, sweet was this revenge ; I gloried in wit- -nessing it, thonch sick at the time with the smeil of the roasted dead and dying." These may be extreme cases- we persuade ourselves that they arc but they show in what direction the current sets, and with how great a force it flows. Such feelings, too, arc apt to spread be yond armies to the nation that marshals them. Even women may come under the unhappy influence. During the Italian war of Louis Napolean, when the French paused at Ati, the women of the place rushed to them, throwing themselves at their feet, crying out, "killthcm avenge our husoind? kid, km the Au'trians Say9 an eye-witness : "Frantic with ha tred and desire of revenge, these women were terrible to behold ; their eyes glared, and they con vulsivcly clutched the officers, shrieking, 'kill them! kill them!'" Thm, doubtless, is an extreme case. But Coler idge well describes the milder pernicious effects, which exultation over the disaster of an enemy produces on the softer age and the gentler sex : Boys nnd girl?, And women who would groan to fco a, child Pull off an insect's leg, all read of war. The best amusement for a moruing meal! As if the soldier died without a wound ; As if tut fibres of his godlikn frame Were gored without a pang ; as if the wretch Who felt in battle riomg bloody deed?, Passed olFto heaven, translated, and not killed ; As if he had no wife to pine for hiiu, No God to ,b tge him !" Now, is it reasonable to suppose? that this influence, whether in the army or be yond it, terminates with the battle, or with the exultation over victory ? We fear that what Dr. Worcester records of his experience, applies with inoie or less force, wherever war has been suffered to exert its hardening power. lie served, during the llevolution, at the battles of. Hunker Hill and IJenningtOn, but .soon after left the army, and resisted all importunities to return. "From my childhood till I be came a soldier," he says, "my sympathet ic affections were remarkably tender; so that I was easily moved to tears by any affecting object, or circumstance, liut the first funeral I attended at home, alter ha ving been in the army, I was shocked to find myself so changed and so unmoved on such an occasion." What, then, is the preservative against this influence? ""We know of none, apart from the power of vital godliness,' keeping the heart tender toward God and Christ, and for their sakes, toward our enemies, who -are, by creation, the offspring of God and by redemption, the inheritance of Christ. Only out of the foiuitaiu of pie ty can an unebbing humanity flow, and rise above the barriers of national hostili ty, and bear the sympathetic affections of the soul unseat ed through the fiery carn age of war. Oh, if we would not havo our soldiers, and ourselves, carry from the present conflict into the years that follow after, hearts made cold and stern against all social, Christian charities, let us labor to the utmost now, to imbue our own "breasts, and theirs, with the spirit of the Father who is "kind to the unthankful and the evil," and of His Son, our Sa viour, who freely gave Hjs life as a ran dom for enemies ihat hated Him without cause, and slew Him without compunction. lleligion is not an art, a matter of dex terity and skill, but a new nature. Church greatness consists, says Hichard Baxter, in being greatly serviceable. An.isements--tlie Church and the World. Christians arc a peculiar people. They are required to come out from the ungod ly, ard be separate. In this separation, their light is so to shine before men, that men may sec their good works and glorify their Father who is in heaven.- To secure these ends, the church has been made an institution of its own kind an institution standing apart from the family, the com munity, the nation an institution or ganized of those who, in the judgment of charity, are regenerate persons, dead to sin, but alive to GoL Now, whatever ob scures this distinction between Christians and unbelievers, so far nullifies the Divine intention, and is therefore criminal ex ceed 'ngly. T-t, there arc amuscmeraftnts which work this effect. They destroy or hide the wide difference which exists, between those in the Church and those out of it. For that reason, aside from all other considerations, they are inexpedient and unlawful, no matter how innocent they may seem in themselves. If, in the general judgment of the community theso amusements arc improper for Christiana, this current op inion makes it wrong for Christians to in dulge in them. Wrong; grossly so; be cause this indulgence appears to sinners aa a going over to their ranks, and in that degree, as a renouncing of Christ's service. Wrong; grossly so; because, as men look on it, it is a departure from Christian fidelity, followed by a loss of Christian in fluence over the men who look on it so. Apply thia rule to dancing. The un converted see church members taking part in a dance. Do they not say that these church members, while such,haveno right to be there? Do they not say that, in spiritual character, these church members are not a whit better than the other per sons on the floor ? Do' they not say that the Church which retains these members in fellowship, is too worldly, too lax in discipline, too false to its own professions, to be worthy of respect? Do they not even say, at times, that religion is a matter for Sundays alone that men hold to it only a affording a respectable or fashion able method of spending one day in seven ? Thus are the ways of truth evil spoken of. With what face, then, can persons dare to urge that dancing is innocent in itself? Oh, is it innocent in its influence? Is it when it blots out or covers over the divid inglitic between the Church and the world? Is it innocent then before the Lord ; He who is a holy God ; He who is a jeal ous God; He whose holiness and jealousy burn aa- a consuming fire against those who for a slig ht and transient pleasure bring reproach) on Zion, and through her, on the trutlf. that- saves men ? No. no. He will .iuiely avenge Himself for the dis honor waich they heap on His name, His people, and His work. Religious Herald. Praying in the Family. What a fearful responsibility is his, who neglects family prayer letting his altar lie in the dust, and the moss cover its hal lowed stones I He robs God of his glory, and of the service due him- the domestic circle of one of the most powerful dissua sives from sin and vice, as well as support to virtue and religion. He also robs his own soul of those pure, substantial joys wliich none but those who do their duty c;m know and feel. He cannot neglect this duty, and not arm a just God against himself. But the benefits of family religion will greatly depend upon the manifest sinceri ty of the " head of the family." The chil dren and servants must see his prayers exemplified inhis temper and manners; or they will certainly become disgusted with religion. They are not prepared to make due allowances for human nature. When the hours for devotion conic, let them be met for a useful, delightful ser vice. Tediousness always wearies chil dren especially. Fine language ia lost to them ; they cannot understand it. Gloom iness will cause them to dread religion as an irksome, hard service. Worship thus conducted never can result in good. But let it be conducted in a sweet, simple, plain, tender, heavenly manner, and it may be used as an engine of vast power in a fami ly. It diffuses a sweet, holy sympathy, through the members. It will call off the mind from the deadening effects and cares of the world. It will arrest every one with a morning and evening sermon in the midst of life. It proclaims, there is a God; there is a better, a spiritual world ; there is a life to come. It fixes a living idea of responsibility in the mind. It furnish es the tender, affectionate father and mas ter with the opportunity of glancing over, or at, faults, where a direct admonition would not be expedient. Therefore, at the family altar, " Train tip a child in the way he- .should go aud when he is old he will not depart from it." J. T. C. Southern Christian Advocate. Beautiful.- ." When Philip Henry, father of the com mentator on the Bible, sought the hand of the only daughter of Mrs. Matthew in marriage, an objection was made by her father, who admitted that he was a gen tleman, a scholar, and an excellent preach er, but he was a stranger. "True," said the daughter, who had well weighed the excellent qualities and graces oT the stran ger, "but I know where he is going, and I would like to go with him ;" and they walked life's pilgrimage together.

July 16th, 1S63. At Mangum, r:chmond county, of Typhoid fever, ot tho 12th of June, MARY CHARLOTTE, daughter of Col. James 1. Penuberton, iu the 17th year of her ago. She had just concluded her third year at Grocnsboro' Female College, ard had returned home to spend her vacation amid the pleasures of lmm, aril in sweet communion in th society of her rclatires and friends gener ally. Eut, alas! her stay us a short. Bho was stricken down in th bloom of . youth in the first blush of womanhood. Her promise of a long life of happiness and future usefulness has thus been disappointed, aud her parents arc ltft to mourn the untimely death of their beloved daughter. But they mourn, as those who kavo hope. She was prepared for tho change and made an open profession of religion several years previous to her death continuing to walk up rightly in tho fear of God. On her death-bed, though suffering intensely with bodily pains yet in her lucid moments her mind seemed calm and resigned, exclaiming among her last words, " I am going, I am going to my mother." Let this calmness and resignation dry up the tears of the sorrowing, and mitigate the forco of tho blow to surviving relatives for "peacefully and, chearfally her bark has glided adown death' dark river, and sailed out ou the groat ocean of eternity. Calmly as one who lios down to pleas ant dreams, she passed through tho valley of the ; shadow of death, and entered the peaceful gates of Paradise." Though Mary has left us, yet inr--dolible will be the recollection of her many vir tues. Agreeable in person, amiable in manner, aud sprightly in intellect, she was beloved by all who knew her. "None knew her but to 1ot her, None named her but to praise." A Friesd. Tribute of Respect.

THtfS COMBINATION OF MEDICINES was first prepared by the proprietor bi 1825 when lie was considered by thf ee of the most dis tinguished pbys iciars in the South as in an ad vanced stage of tho consumption.
