It was with no small degree of surprise
that we read the above, from the St. Lou

agraph about the same length, relating to
(ho same, both in (ho New York Herald,
and in the Richmond Knqiiirer. Tho

has been the principle business of this ve

he had frequently evaded my request, and
twice had promptly said I wont to some
simple requirement, although I had each
lime been able to quietly secure obedience
But at the clo.se of the second day, I told
him I wished a little conversation with
him, as I though( it necessary vve should
understand each other better that it
would be far more pleasant for me if it
were never necessary to exercise any au
thority in school. I wished to come iu the
school room as the friend of my scholars
as a true friend to aid them all in my
power, and as a friend I asked their con
fi lence. I should request them to do what
I thought best, and hoped they would nev
cr make it necessary for ine to demand
obedience, as I never should unless I
thought it necessary, and the good of the
school demanded it. All the time I was
speaking, his full expressive eye never
turned from mine, and when I had finished,
he said promptly before the whole school,
"if that is so Mrs. N. I shall never make
you any more trouble." Ah! there was a
soul looking fourth from those eyes, that
needed but instruction and guidance; on
immortal spirit to be plumed for its eter
nal flight, nnd reverently I osked "our Fa
iher" for wisdom for the important work
He was true to his promise, for from
that night, there never was an act of di
rect disobedience, nor the least attempt to
evade the necessary requirements of
school. But he was far from faultless
in his intercourse with the scholars there
were often rough expressions, profane
words, sometimes even direct falsehood
and overbearing spirit, and for the mos(
(rivial causes, often tho hot blood of anger
would flush cheek and brow faults which
a mother s watchful eye could have readily
controlled, but which had so strengthened
by the many years indulgence, that they
seemed almost a purl of his life. Gently
but earnestly I strove to awaken his miud
to the importance and necessity of avoid
ing such habits. I told hiin how he vyas
wronging his own kind heart, and feelings,
and really fine mind aud abilities, and for
the right improvement and cultivation of
which he was responsible to God. Had
I told him only of his faults, his heart woul
have been hardened at once. He ha
heard of them daily and hourly, for the
many years he haa eaten the bread of de
pendence in the homes of strangers; but
the voice of kindness melted him, and the
almost motherly tenderness with which
strove to wiu his heart to the love of trut
aud virtue, guiutd hu confidence, and of
ten when talking with him, while tho tears
filled his eyes and almost choked his utte
rance, he has replied "no ono but you has
ever told me that I had a good mind or
kind feelings," and during that whole win
ter I saw in his mind on earnest strugglo
to gd f iff h, and that clearer idens of life
and its duties were dawning upon his mind.
I never met his nnclo during the winter,
but he warmly expressed to me the pride
and pleasure he felt in his improvement,
and his determination to aid him if he con
tinued to improve.
But the time passed on the school
closed, and with many tears on both sides,
we parted. I had seen the sweet flower
of truth that had been almost crushed in
that young heart, unfold itself in renewed
beauty. ' I hnd earnestly strove to lead
his steps, and direct his heart to Him who
had promised to bo a Father to the father
less, nnd how earnestly I committed him
to his guidance, as I saw him again going
forth into the world, with that passionate
and impulsive heart. His uncle had pro
cured a place for him to work for a far
mer during the summer, promising him if
he proved a good and faithful boy, that he
should spend the winter with him, and
again attend school. That farmer, stern,
harsh, and unyielding, knew nothing of
le workings of that boy's restless spirit.
A few motths past and he discharged him,
calling him a bad boy. He returnd to his
uncle's, but discouraged by the bad report
he had received of him, he refused to do
ny thing more for hiin, and again he
went forth feeling "that in all the wide
green earth, there was for hiin no shel
tered nest." I have never heard from
him since, but in sadness my heart often
recurs to hiin, and the many noble traits
of character he possessed, yd comforted
by the reflection, that there is a kind Shep
herd, who carclh for nil the wandering
ambs of his flock, and "whose Eye never
Iumbereth," and there ore on earth good
and noble spirits, who take pleasure in
seeking desolate hearts, and cultivat
ing the holier and purer parts of their na
lure, and imbuing their spirits with an
earnest love for justice and truth, and to
that kind Shepherd's guidance, reverently
and trustingly, have I committed his des

Politics and the Pulpit.
We copy the following extract from a
manuscript sermon, delivered a few Sab
bath evenings since, upon the Legitimate
Province of the Pulpit, by Rev. C. Chaa
cer Goss, of our city.
In these days of political preaching ond
clerical interference and assumption, such
a rebuke ' from the right quarter was
greatly needed; and we hope yet to see
the entire sermon published in a more
substantial form, as it is just tho thing de
mantled by the times :
Another point, vital in this connection
and of paramount importance at the pres
ent juncture, is tho legitimate province of
the pulpit, respecting the subject of poli
tics. This word, as most ore aware, is
from the Greek Polis a city or state
and signifies the affairs of the same,
hence the science of government.
more practical definition, however, at the
present day, is the contest of parties
scramble for office, preference for a cer
tain candidate, and that preference exhib
iled by denouncing iu unmeasured and un
mitigated terms, he who may chance to be
his opponent. If politics signified the sc
ence of government, it might on certain
occasions, fall within the range of pulp
discussion. Even then the scripture in
junction, to "Render unto Ceasar the things
that are Ceasar's and unto God the things
that are God's," migh lead the minister to
a due consideration of what was his proper
and peculiar vocation.
That the pulpit has a legitimate prov
ince, is clearly evident, from analogy..
The Barrister's professional duties do not
cover the whole range of entities. The
vocation of the physician is clear ond dia-
tinctive. The question is not what these
as well as the various callings, may do as
men and citizens, but what are their legit
imate duties when called upon to act pro
fessionally. What would be expected of
them by those employing them? Suppose
an Attorney should be in the habit of in
truding his peculiar political views upon
court, when his duty was to vindicate the
character of his client. Or if a physician
should enter into a political jungle with
some one, when his patient was struggling
between life and death. Would they not
soon lose caste in society, and be spurned
by the profession?
And are not the duties of the gospel
minister just as distinctive, and of more vi
tal importance? Just so far as the soul,
God eternity are subjects paramount to the
body; to the present, just so far the minis
terial profession transcend those of other
professions. The credentials which he
prufesiCs to hold from the highest Judica
tory in the universe, show that his calling
ta a ui.'tinct and uehnite character. It
reads in plain and unmistaknblo language
Go preach the Gospel," not partizan
strife and political jealousy; not contention
and anarchy; not broils aud intrigues but
ho gospel of repentance and faith in a Re-
eemer; a gospel of reconciliation to the
divine favor; a gospel designed to lift us
from the ruin of the fall into a state of al-
egiance with our Heavenly Father; a gos-
el of peace and good will to man. Such
is the legitimate business of lhe minister
as indicated by his credentials; and the
business in which he may safely expect the
verification of that promise-"Lo I am
with you."
Let me not however, be understood as
assuming, that a minister has no rights po-
itically. For one, I relinquished none of
lhe rights of a citizen, when I espoused
what is technically called the sacred of
fice. A citizen, although a minister, may
have party prefrences may maintain
them in his intercourse with his fellow-
man, and, under certain circumstances,
may publicly discuss them. Such would
be all legitimate and proper, provided that
it was done in a candid and gentlemanly
munner. Scarcely any one would be
found, to object to such a course.
What we oppose, in common with all
good citizens is the discussion of such sub
jects, by the minister in his pulpit, on (he
Sabbath, or in any way interfering or dic
tating, on the ground of being a minister.
We had always supposed that lhe Sabbath
was a day of rest from all the strife, cares
and concerns of life a day especially set
apart, for the worship of God, and the
spiritual edification of his children; and as
such, certainly the minister ought to be
the last man to disregard the claims of the
Saviour. Rather than bring before his
congregation the excited arid over heated
subject of politics, d iring the peaceful qui
et of the Sabbath; be would do better to
refresh their riids occasionally, upon the
obligation of the command "Remember
the Sabbath day to keep it holy.
Besides, the church is a place dedicated
to the service of God, and is the last place
where such exciting questions of expedi
ency should be discussed on the Sabbath
day. If the congregation assembled with
tho expectation of hearing a certain party
eulogized, and the administration de
nounced, the case would not be so bad;
there might be a show of consistency in it
at least. But when a promiscuous audi
ence, men of all political creeds, ossein'
bled for moral improvement, the mora
teacher ought to feel that his mission was
of the most sacred import his duty to
pour out truths drawn from a higher source
than the dirty pool of political strife. His
responsibility to his Judge, and his duty
to his fellow man, ought to fire him with
a holy ambition to preach the Holy Ghost
sent down from Heaven, rather than de
nounce and defame those in civil authority
It ought to be remembered also, that the
minister does not advocate his politico
views simply as a man, but under the garb
of ministerial axdhority. He warns them
on peril of their souls not to vote for (his
or (hat candidate. He takes advantage of
his posilion (o propoga(e his political views
and no one must question his epsi dixet, in
this respect. His papal bulls are issued
wilhan anathama sit appended, provided
they are not regarded. That this is no
fiction, many of the pulpits of the last
Presidential campaign afford amplo evi
deuce
Preaching party politics in the pulpit is
to convert that pulpit into a political ros
trum; hence (here is no difference between
(he two. The minister himself becomes
a politician and takes sides with the world
rather than seek to bring it up to that high
moral standard, required by the Great
Teacher. I need scarcely say, that such
a course is an injury to the cause; a dis
grace to the profession and dishonorable
lo God.
