Tot, with all our biiusted liberty, we have not tlitown oil the fetters of Northern literature. The vtfy tiok'y sentiiuental phrases which have poisoned the niiiid.s oi .Mil ouih, and eoiiYorted our language into a sim pering gingle of euphonious pounds, are the identical cues still used bj Southern Wtitois.

Our position in the literary world is esti mated by the character of our literature If we would be truly reat, we must ri; e-aoovo the lower stratum ol intellec tual atmosphere. We have long enough endeavored to f-atisfy the cravings of im mortal minds with the fruits tf distem pered brains, whose ideas. are often as deficient 111 moral worth as in genuine li'ood taste. We would not depreciate Southern tal ent; wo would only endeavor to turn it into a uiiTorent channel. For instance, we have a few respectable poets, but while so much' inferior poetry can flua place in the public journals, there isl-'ule induce ment, ior the 'cultivation of this talent. There are few persons who' posses a true poetical gen his ; and it requires much time nd study for even these to become proiicient writers. 5ut there are ie.pectab!e prose writers, wito become infatuated with rhyme, and jingle away il.eir time to the edification of the ''milk and water" order of readers. In fact, the pen is .sehlo.ni to por tray life in its true colors.

' Authors generally go to the billiard table, or the drinking saloon, -for heroes. A dishing 3'oung man, with a "wild po etic eye, and restless mien," is the one to make adventures. The practical de ceiver, who is sanctified as a clergyman in the presence of his lady friends, but whose heart is as black as midnight, makes a capital hero one that will pro bably break the hearts of Ivyo er three women. We Southern mothers would be shock ed at the thought of our daughters asso ciating with this class of men' but for sooth I they are scarcely accomplished, at all, unless they are familiar with the light reading of the day. This love -of the marvelous has well nigh up set 'he great moral and political structure, bequeath ed us by our sires. Ueforc this war, voting men bad grown up dissipated and worthless, and joung women had be come mere ilmtering, listless creatures. 13 ut this is pTist. A change has come over our lives bit ter though it may be, still it is oae which God designs for our good. 'Henceforth we must read from the new life page which lies open before us. Our heroes are our brave soldiers, and the noble wives and sisters toiling at home, are our lereincs. The huge log fire now roars up on he hearth of the old family kitchen, while the ruddy cheeks of. tlje young holy, glow with rosy tints, a?s she pa tiently wraps the beam of the loom with pretty check?, or warm kerseys. Say not this is dull ,work. Jjisten at f er mer ry song, or it- may be sad and plaintive. as her thoughts wander to the held ot carnage. Tut if it be sad. she rises above her sorrow in the conciousness of doing her duty she has no time to repine. If we want thrilling scorns, let us turn to the homes of our sob.ics. Ue hold that widowed mother, who has sac rificed a husband and two or more sons at the shrine of libn-ly. Those daughters aie leit without a protector. They attend church alone, they risit alone, they travel with no man to Jean upon but the btron One. They walk the uneven furrow? of the hold guide the plow, Jiather the grain take it, to the mill, prepare the wood, cook the meals, and weave the cloth besides. Many wives whose husbands were taken away last spriug, finished the crops, and now have a competency. AU these de serve a nicbe in the tcmple of fume. liut if we would cultivate the fancy, let us repair to the waving wheat Golds, and assist the fair hands to gather the light straws to make them Sunday hats Oh 1 let us follow them to the barn, and behold what wonders they can bring forth from that heap of corn shucks. hat care our daughters for x ankee hats and feathers, while we have such ample resources? Nor are we destitute of music. Those same fingers which are skilled in peiform ing on the piano, can make sweet music on the wheel. What is more graceful than winding the lorg gossamer threads upon the spindle ? What more becoming to tho-e lily fingers than the snow white rolls And more especially are they so when we remember this woik is to clothe the loved ones far away in ihe ;u my. If. we would dwell upon the pathetic. let us heboid young men lay their heart's weaith at the ieet of tneir betrothed, and go away to return mangled and lame, 01 M 1 1 a 1 1 ft to nil a soiuiei s grave, ur look upon tne fond husband as lit- hisses his pratling Danes, and ioldi Ins beloved 111 one iond auu las' embrace. ut if we Wt.-uiJ learn les-ions oi fai'h arrd trust in (Jed, we must in truth upon the sacred hours of devotion. As the sentry beats his silent rounds, his heart keeps watch at ihe Throne of Grace, for his bleeding laud, and for Jovtnl ones at home. In the same Ledy hour, thousands of mothers, wives, and sisters send up their voices in united s-.up-uie.ut ion for soldier friends and an honorable peace. "Father, spare ! O spare my loved ones.!'' Prepare them to live or to die ! It con sistent with Thy will, bring them back safe; if nut, not my will, but Thine be done." In conclusion, let us demand a more sub..tantial literature. Lot our able-it pens be employed to create a purer atmosphere of mind fer te rising generation. We Want one which will trace up iialteving humanity, and supoort- the hands ol those who stand upon the walls of V,i, to pro claim the words of iJu rnd ft nth. t lirist in Ihe Sioiiu. The late Uishop Wilson, in one of his admirable letters, remarks that "we can not see the glory of Christ in ." so,,? unless we embark w:iih him in the ves- el." May we not j;idd, that tJTo..e who have most promptly embarked with him have always seen most oi his glory 't We are naturally backward to go on board. W e prefer to linger on the quiet .shore. lint when, in a time of necessity, f lie love of Christ "constrains" us, at. his bidding, to "get into the ship and cross over to ihe otaer side" of the stormy sea, he will come tons "walking on rhe waves. And if wc then are aiTrighted' by what we see, he will say with an unwonted sweetness oi tone, "It is I ; be nof uiranl." 1!.; will show his power to ret tike and quiet the tumultuous waves; and his "Peace, be still," will be all that is necessary to secure a great and glorious cairn. Amid the darkening signs oi the times. and in view of the stormy sea which the providence of God se.ms to be calling tie Church to navigate, bow delightiul is the assurance that the "Lord on high is might ier than the noise of many waters yea" than the mighty wave of the sea." While the disciples of, Chrht shrink upon the sheire, dreading to embark, and anxiously crying to the watch men, "Watchmen, what of the night V there Comes from the pure depths of heaven, across the waieis, clear as a behupon the midnight air, the welcome answer for the watchmen to re echo, "the morning cometh." Though "the noise oi the sew, and tumult oi the people," for a season drown the voices of the angel chanting, "Peace" and "G .cd will," Jesus will rise up at length in his might, and command peace, and display his glory. The harsh discords and jar rings will be but the "tunings of the in struments" that aTe out of Older, prepar atory to a grander and sweeter anthem oi praise. '.Pc-acft and no longer feoi ih brazen porta's The blasts r.f war s i-rea! oryan .!iakc the t-kies: Iiu'' iTtfiintU'ul as .t)iis if imuiorOiIs, The Lolj-' melodies of love ari.so." Let us take courage and embark. Keen though our captain is not visibly with us, or seems to be "a-lep in the hinder part of the ship," he will manifest himself and display his power j. si at the ngnt moment. We hall not "perish ." "The gieat storm" will be hushed. "The wind and the t ea" will "obey him" And we ought not. to give him occasion to say, " why are ye so fearful ? How is it that e have no faiih?" Let us trust, and bu not afraid. Let us, at the. call of his providence, go on board, and cross the temp Muous Fea;and we .shall certainly sec his glory, and sooner or later hear the song of prabe, like the sound of many waters, to God and the Lamb. Hying TeMiiiios.y. In tho memoir oi' the Lev. i'lrtkine I. liawes, we find a dying testimony, which is usually an Honest and impressive one, to v.'buh the attention of young preachers may he profitably di roc ted. .Mr. Mrskiue wan educated amidst New I'higlaud pecu liarities, of dot tnne, and had probably been mole or less imbued with a lax iheoh gy, as well as with that style of preaching nsual'y $tlici philo&ophieal, in distinction from the plain ami direct stylo of presentation of the great goi-pcl truths, which aimschicily at the conver sion ol' the soul to God. 'fhis young minister was, alter a liof period ol suf fos in-; JVom the kick of a hor;.e? summon ed from time to eternity. In a la.it con versation wii.li a young mini.. eiiul broth er, lie expre.-.sed himself emphatically on the tt-ite melhod of preaching, as well as the only ground oi a sinner's hope. As to the .first "lie had hardly lot go my hand from the first; now he grased it firmly, aud fcaid, U MorJcith, remember it understand that 1 say it iiom this bed our ministers have not pn ached ihe gospel in its simplicity. Thtrt has been en or. I want you to understand it, that I say it from this bed TItr. Cos- pi! i.-t ('id's af-joii;t tl mi 11 us 'or the .so cotton of tc soul jfliilimi'itlitj will not u' In regard to the sure foundation of a sinner's hope, he said: "We all have great impeiieef nsis, great sins, but 'ihe blood oi Jesus Christ cloaiisotb from all sin; te rig ht ousne.-s ol t;f:rif.t l.sbUia cient lor us all ; here I rent, here is my hope the righteousness of Chri.-i imput ed to ui. Imputed -thai, is a good word IfiA-eil." We call this a true testimony. First, whatever may be thought of metaphysi cal or philosophical preaching, or howev er it may bring to your preachers a rep utation for talenis, it will iTot boar the sober ic ilect ioii.j of a dying hour, '.ml much less the scrutiny of G oil's judg ment. Philosophy will not save perish ishing souls, it may emei tain, but not save Jesus Christ, and him crucified, must eun,- titute the sum of successful preaching.

C: If you svould maintain the happy position you have reached, you must continue to grow in grace I know that many, both in our own Church, ami in others, liaye supposiel that one who is sanctified cannot grow 111 grace that ha has reached a point beyond which rheie is no advancement. Willi many, this error is induced by using the term perfection in a wrong ..cm,o m a sense m-aiiy ob. .0 lete, only as it is applied to God aieiio. Lut with a eoiveet view of Chri; tuia per fection, no such uifiiojlty can exist. Can not our physical .system improve, because it is freed irom disease? Cannot y.n.r garden flourish because n xmus vctd.--are rooted out ? Cannot the plants of righteousness glow and strengthen in your heart, because the due root a lot i.eoti of sin, is destroyed ? Must the grace; of the sp:i'it cease to grow and stierg.'hea in t he .sanctified bean, because there i ney do uol stand in contact with inbred .sin? it Would seem to mo that a'i this Would only prepare us ie-r growing in giaeo moie lapid'y than wc could i ebare. iicro we reach ihat point in t. iiristLu . regrets where antagonists eii.sajipcar irom the heart, and the whole life spends its force without disastrous counterpoises and dis counts, in winning back the alfeetioin to God. When our. hearts are punliod by the blood of, Chi i.t, then our hou-es' are swept, and garnished from all pollution, and arc ready to be tilled and i urni.dicu with alt the tiuits oi the Spir it ai.d grac es of th'c gospel When we are emptied oi ail eari hly things, we feci that poverty ofspirittbutcrcai.es an 'hungering and thirsting for G od and His rightoousm ss. Whcu wc have thus laid aside every weight and ouf bescttiiig bin, we cau walk without weariness, run without fainting, and mount up as upon eagle wings ami soai' and talk with God. Let us remem ber distinctly that it is sin, whether actu al or inbred, whether iii the heart or in the: life that it i.s sin that prevents the. 'real, woik oi ji'owiuii in craee, ami that the Christian is never so wa-ll prepared to progress as when pun tied hum all sin l! we are iaithlul, aiu r our hearts Me cleansed from sin, wc w ill, and mu.-.t ad vance in Christian xperm o.
