Tb following beautiful iunzi firit ap peared in the Andover Advert Uer,mnd wera written, by a lady of New York city. However it may b with tha frail physi tal frame, tha heart, wa are aure, that gush. out in tliaae lines can never "grow old.'' I'm growing ld 'ti Barely so; And yet how abort it roi.

The hand of God continues to open wide n effectual door of uaefulnrss to this hum ble Christian agency, which He tsgreatljr bleasinr as it raovee onward from door t door of rich and poor, supplying every one with plain goapel lrith, "calculated to re ceive the approbation of all evangelical Chrietiana," which ia being the means nf instructing our ignorant never before reach ed, bringing sinners to Christ, and quicken ing Christiana in duty, aa the following majr' illustrate, the aequel of which baa just been given roe by those connected with it, with peronieeion to thus wee it. "Four years ego as 1 was thoroughly visit, ing a eeeticrn, I was told of a secluded fam ily ia a swamp. To rea h it, I had , to watk half a mile on poles. As I drew near the miserable log hut, they discovered me end showed great reaiUsaness And as I laid down my big saddl-baga, all present showed increased uneasineae.which 1 quiet ed as soon as possible by shaking bands and kind words, then took seat on one ot their stools. , Here I found tbe patents and nine children in poverty, filth, wickedneas, end ignorant to a decree most shocking. Only one of tbe children could remember ever seeing a" book before, and not one ever heard a aermon or prayer before. After giving the Primer and other books, and in. truciing them an hour, with some difficul ty I got the father to consent for sou. one to come and teach them twice a month. I then asked him why he had never sent his children to the public school. ' To wbiob he replied, M Why, sir, do you reckon I have oo belter sense than to send my chil drea to that house built for a trap to catch them in to hava them bound out from me !" 1 explained, but to no 'earning good effect. When I atarted, two of tbe children aak ard me to come again; and John, 14 years old, walked with me to ray horee ; and ae we shook bands, be looked at me with big tears in his eye and eaid, "Mr. C , I want yon to let me go and lire with you." I told him to return home then and heduti- ful and industrious, and God would provide for him. - A few days after, I told thie case to a rich man who became deeply interest ed in the boy, and io a few n-nthe he suc ceeded in getting bioiand has kept him at a fine school, so that he now has a good education ; and from reading tha "Anxious Inauirer ' which 1 cave aim, he wag led io Christ, and he now has four copies of this book Ioane'l to nia aaaociates aa ne ineeta them in a weekly prayer-meeting which he aids in conducting-, two of whom give evidence of conversion." His parents now attend church ; also the other children, inoet ef whom have gone to Sabbath school and Common school until they cn read, and now have a decent appearance. Th father has givm up ardent spirits, by winch he used to be intuxicaled almost constant ly. 1 have given thta family m.re :han 5 worb of book, but lor the Inst ye..r iLy have bought several from roe, t-ebidea oiii ars fro.n book stores Such is . this work of Colportage, ua i much of such il is doin. aa wa extensive ly narratt d by our Colporteur in a recent Convention at Gohiaboro'. N. C ; and .te may be seen from tbe following carefully prepared statistics of the whole work done io our State up to the Inst quarter Visited 72,338 families; prayed with 38,830; dee tttule of ail religious books ex apt the Bit le, 11.869; without tbe Bible. 4.9S6; aupplied with tbe Bible, 3,767; famihea n glecting preaching. 5.953 ; prajer-meei-inga helil, 3,465 Books aold at cost price only, amounting to 922,324, and gave a- ay b-Kika io trie needy amounting to 85, 489 Expenaea of foing thia work, inclu ding ealaries, $14 500 79. -Donationa from North Carolina to meet the above expenses 6,057 92. Thia vast! amount of humble labor has been performed in more than 50 of our counties, from the mountains to the aeabonrd, and even out on the ships among the sailors a glorious work has been done, which is now blasaing those of distant lands with light and love from God. Mora than half the expense of this work done in North Carolina has been borne b kind friends of other States, many of whom are paying annually 9150, the salary of a Colporteur, some 9300, and others still more This they are prompted to do from a Christian ami patriotic love for our poor and wretched, and from a scriptural view of their menne being the Lord's, and them selves hia stewards. And 1 rejoice to know that we hav- persons in North Carolina possessing' such love and such views, by which many have been prompted to noble action in this cause ; as is illustrated by an intelligen Christian lady, whose first don ation to Colportage was only 91, after better understanding the work she increased it to 920, a life-membership, and recently she came to my house and stated that she had saved 9100, which she wnnled to put into the Lord's treasury in a way that would do Ihe most good to the greatest number. With thia view she gives it to this cause, which will publish' for our poor more than 150.000 pages and aho,atso select e,nl will draw annually 1,500 pages of printed truth. And I feel sure that there are many more who only have to look at this work of carrying goepe. light, free of sectarian ism, into every house, by men of faith nna prayer, and hundreds will each decide to pay the salary of one of these men, whose reports may be received quarterly by tbe donors. Such acts would bold up a cruci fied Jesus, and create a thirst for education in thousands of wretched familiss, who will die ignorant and indifferent to both, f not reached at their firesides with the hand of kindneas, the ible, the Primer, and the works of Baxter, Hannah Moore, - Dodd ridge, &c. Love to God and to our coon try should move every one to think, pray, and act promptly in thia department td Christian benevolence, remembering how sure, how enduring tbe good of giving our selves and the means God has loaned u here to His service. Donations may b aent to me here by mail with eufety. uGo l loveih a cheerful gmr." Yours truly, WM. J. W. CRCWDER, Agent Am. Tract Society for N. C. Ralelf h, Dec. 8. 1856. P. S. Ae I am prevented seeing the per son receiving this, and mnj others, by ex. treme protracted family affliction, love for souls and the good of our State induce me to thus address you, hoping to receive a response from you, with such a donation -i a there may be ability to tnxke, and your earnest prayer for God's blessing to attend it. and the entire work Respectfully, W. J. vv. c. SPECULATION IK HUMAN REMAINS. The Philadelphia Inquirer avers that the Alms House Guardians in that city are in tha habit of sell ng the bodies of paupers ho die at the institutions under their charge, for the sum of 930 each, and scar cely an unrecognised body taken to the cemetery is interred, but sold at once to the brokers in anatomy A lady went to Philadelphia from New York to have the remains of her deceased brother removed from tbe public burial ground to the Odd Fellow's Cemetery. After disinterting two or three different bodies, and not finding the right one tha search was given up as unprofitable. Another lady, tbe wife of an insane man who died at the hospital, could not recov er tbe dissected fragments of the poor man's remains at the anatomical theatre. A DOUBLE MARRIAGE. Tbe Newburyport Herald says a double marriage of a couple took place in thai city on Christmas day. The . gentleman was a Catholic, the lady an Episcopalian ; and both of them of the highest respecta bility' They were first united according to the forms of the Episcopal Church, and afterwards according to the Catholic usage. The first ship ever built in Florida went to sea from Key West on the "20th uIl, bound to Charleston, S. C, where she has arrived aafely. She is called tbe Stephen R. Mallory, in bouor of tbe United States Senator of that name, who is also a resi dent of Key West, where the ship was built -j . .v : ; ' w B1SKETS.

All who have read the life of this great - man will remember the preat importunce ne auaciifti to correct pronunciation, ilia biographer, Mr Garland, recon?8 t! e ftct of hia correcting Dr. Parish twice in hia mantser of pronouncing words, while the doctor wm rending hun a short article the day before his death, and lhal when the doctor hesitated about adopting1 Mr. Ran dolph's mode of pronunciation, the dying man exclaimed in hia usual impatient and a! solute manner: "Pass on; there cap be no doubt of it." This had seemed to mo io be 6lightlj colored by the biographer; but the accompanying ii eident convinced me that it was but the ruling passions! jng in death. When TezewelJ Wt.a at ihe ztnith of his fame, cn one occasion he mnde a speech at the bar. surpassing even him self iin eloquence. On finishing, Randolph approached him and complained bitterly, with an oath, that it was fated that nothing human should be perfect. Tazewell, who was receiving impassioned coiijnratalatior.s from bis friends, asked liandolph what he meant. His questioner, with all his usual acerbity, indignantly demanded : "Why did you not say 'hor- zon' instead of 'Aor izon V Were it not for that d d barbarism, there would hare been one perfect human production." j IMPORTANT TO LADIES Colonel Benton having rejected the word "lad-," because it was not to be found in the jScripturers, a correspondent of the Washingten Star adduces the following text to show that the thirty year Senator ia in error: Judges i 29. Her wise ladies answered her. Esther I: 18. Likewise shall the ladus of Persia and Medea say this day unto all the king's princes, which hare heard of the deed of the queen. Isaiah 47: 5. Sit thou silent, and cet thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chal deans; for thou shall no more be called the lady' of the kingdom. - Isaiah 47: 7.. And thou saidst I shall be a lady forever. 2 John. 1. The elder unto the elect la dy, and her children, whom I love in the truth. 2 John: 5. And now I beseech thee, lady not as though I wrote anew com mandment unto thee. SLAVERY IN VIRGINIA. The Point Pleasant (Va ) Republican states the slaveholders of Western Virginia find it so difficult to prevent their negroes fromi running away, that ttTguard, egainst loss they are selling their pronertv. so that it can be carried beyond the reach of ihe Underground Railroad. The Republican says;: "A few days since Mr. Joseph S. Machie sedd ito Messrs. Stern, of Richmond, fifiten slaves old and young, for the sum of 3, 150. Mr"; William Love also sold to the same gentleman two likely girls and bby for 2.450. These negroes never would havei been sold, hud it not been tl scovered that they were making preparations to leave for a' free territory." DAMAGES AWARDED. A verdict of $20,000 damages has been rendered egainst the city of New York for intringement of Ransom & Wenman's pa tented fire-engines. This is an important matter, as alt engine-makers embody tha invention in their machines, and art, there fore-, iable to action for damages. ACCIDENTS. Raleigh, December 31.
