, A NEGRO BAPTISMAL SCENE. Much is said concerning the state of religion among the colored population of tha south, and it is a subject which is fruitful with many a valuable thought. I cannot refrain from expressing a few reflections which were suggested by wit nessing the immersion of a number of converts from among the colored people in this vicinity, a short time since. It was a quiet and beautiful Sabbath day, when I followed a large and happy group to the bank of the Savannah where six teen colored men and women were to be baptised. I can scarcely express the emo tions which filled my soul as I watched that concourse, headed by a venerable looking pastor, whose curly gray locks told him well advanced in years ; and as they sang 'with one accord and one voice,' hymn after hymn, in their own peculiar ly pleasing style, I could not but feel that God's spirit had a home in those hearts. Their happy faces beamed with u boly joy, as if rejoicing in the consciousness of. souls redeemed. Then followed the candidates for Baptism; twelve young women, dressed in a simple white, with neatly tied bandannas about their heads. Four middle aged men were in the group. They gathered around the water's side, while a vast number of spectators of all ages and denominations thronged the banks of the river. Listen, to that col ored servant of Christ as lie speaks to those gathered there. I have listened to many stirring remarks ; many heart searching appeals to the unconverted by loved pastors in a northern clime. I have heard eloquent sermons logical discour ses, which would captivate the intelli gent, and stir the very soul, but never have I been more affected than by the c;,..r.lo nml lipjrt.reachinff words uttered riiii iw ------ o i by litis uneducated yet eloquent black preacher. My soul was moved within me as he spoke of Christ as a sacrifice for sin ; a redeemer from its nusc ; a Saviour from its penalty ; and the vain glitter and pomp of a worldly wisdom dwindled into in significance as my heart yielded to the truth, unvarnished and pure, spoken by this colored servant of Christ. Many an eye was moistened at the touching delin eation of Christ's death ; and many fa ces beamed with joy at the soul-inspiring review of the Christian's hopes of future rest. A brief, but fervent prayer closed the remarks and then followed the baptism. Need I say that I went home with a peaceful heart. I blessed God that not withstanding the many evils attributed to the poor slave, still it was mine to wit . ness so much of joy, of happiness, of Christian love, and may I not add of Christian privileges, among this large con course of colored people upon this Sab bath day. X Y. Observer. AH OLD KENTUCKY GENTLEMAN. A correspondent of the Lexington States man sends that paper a sketch of a very remarkable man (Elijah Denney) resi ding in the south-eastern part of Pulaski county. He will be one hundred and eighteen years of age on the IO1I1 of Sep tember next, and is as aeti'c as any man of forty, lie has throughout his long life been an early riser, works on his farm every day, and rides to Mount Ver non and Somerset once a week. He nev-i cr drank but ot.c cup of coffee in his life, and that was in the year 184$, and has never suffered an hour from sickness in all his life the only ailment he ever had arising from the biio of a rattle snake, which was in the year 1779, the period he emigrated to Kotilti ky, Mr. Denney is a native of Cutriiuck county, North Carolina, lie served seven years in the warcf the Revolution, was wounded at the fcirge of Chailestou, was also at the eiege of Savannah, and in the battle of Entaw Springs. . He was also present at the bat tles of Camden, King's Mountain, and Monk's Corner.' He s n e l under Colo nels Ilorrey and Marion, and was an eye witness of the sufferings and death of Colonel Isaac llayne, ol South Carolina, an early victim of the Revolution. In height Mr. Denney is about six feet two inches ; he is very erect and walks with little dfficiilty. He would be taken any time to be a man of middle age ; his usu al weight is about 150 lbs., and in his Lest days, as he informed me, he had never weighed over 170 lbs. The old man is a strict member of the Baptist Church, and rides six miles to every reg ular meeting of his church. He has four ' roni and five daughters, all living; the el dest is now in his 78th year, and the youngest ion 52. St. Loins Courier.

The following very adroit trick was re cently played in one of the public inns of England. A gentleman, genteely dres sed, walked in and professed to be tired. Having taken refreshments, he said he would take a nap (or an hour. To sleep he went in a very business like style, in his chair, and a long nap he appeared to to enjoy. Before it expired, the usua smoke-pipe company began to drop in, and among others, two strangers made their appearance. One of the company remarked that it was unpleasant to have a man sleeping in a public room with val uable property about him, such as the sleeper, who had a fine looking gold guard chain displayed on his waistcoat, and apparently connected with a watch in one of his pockets. To this remark one of the strangers replied, 'Pooh ! that's no gentleman ; I'm sure : he's more like one of them ere swell nobs as is always ta king of people in. I dare say he has no watch at all, but I'll soon see.' Suiting the action to the word, the stranger soft ly drew forth out of the sleeping man's pocket a piece of wood, round, and about the size of a watch. 'I thought so,' said he ; 'there's a pretty watch for you,' hold ing it up that the company might see it ; and then returning it to the owner.s pock et. By and by the sleeper awoke, and called briskly for a glass of brandy and water. He assumed quite a patronizing air to the farmers, which soon raised a desire to put him down. Accoidingly one of the seniors required to be inform cd of the time of day. 'Why,' said the gentleman, 'the fact is, I had a drop too much last night, and I forgot to wind up my watch.' 'Just so !' ejaculated the se nior, 'you forgot to wind it up did you ? You'd be puzzled to do that, I should say would'nt you now V 'Well sir, you seem to take more notice of such a trifle than there is any call for ; but the truth is, I have not a watch key about me, and mine is rather a peculiar watch.' Here a burst of laugher ensued, and a number of jokes were passed about the peculiar style of the watch. At last one of the company loudly told him that he had no watch at all about him ; whereupon the amazed in dividual hastily clapped his hand to his waistcoat pocket, having previously de clared that, unless the watch had been stolen since he had been in the room he had one. Satisfied apparently, by the ex ternal application to his pocket, he said 'it's all right my watch is here, I thought you had been playing a trick upon me.' I'll bet you 5 you've no watch,' bawl ed out one of his tormentors : another offered to bet him 10 ; and one of the strangers said he hadn.t 5, but there were two severeigns which he would like to double by betting in the same way. The awakened sleeper looked at them with astonishment, and asked if they were serious. They all stuck to it that he had no watch ; and then he lookout his purse and produced five and ten pound notes to the amount of the bets offeied against him. The stakes were posted ; and the thor oughly awakened sleeper cooly pulled out the piece ol wood, at which a hoarse laugh arose against him ; but the laughter was soon on the other side, when touch ing a spring in the bit of wood, it flew open and displayed a very handsome gold watch snugly encased within it. The gentleman gave a plausible reason for pre ferring so odd-looking a case fur his watch, with which his dupes might either feel s.iti.-fied or not. He had received their money to the extent of jG40 ; and they had bought a knowledge of "the time of day." Of course the very suggestive strangers lost nothing by the business in fact they were accomplices of this clev er sharper. SjiAfa Enemies A Fable. A gnat one day asked a lion whether they ought to be friends or enemies. 'Get away, silly insect,' said he, with contempt, 'lest 1 should crush thee with tn y foot ; what hurl or good could you do me ?" We soon shall know,' said the gnat; upon which he flew into one of the lion's nostrils, and went to stinging him as hard as he could. . The royal beast roared like thunder, lashed his sides with his tail, tore his nostrils with his clawe, and rol led himself in asronv. but in vain; the little gnat kept on stinging till the migl t lion was obliged to own himself over come by the little cnat, which he had just now despised. It is sometimes uistly said, that no person is so small or mean, but that he has it in his power to injure us or do us good ; and thai there is no person whose friendship is not highly desirable. lCTThings temporal are sweeter in expectation ; things eternal, in the frui lion the first Bhares thy hope, the second crowns it. It is a vain-journey whose end affords less pleasure than the way.

Tired to death!' repeated her mother slowly. 'Yes, mother, I'm ; almost, I mean,' she added. 'No, my daughter, not even almost,' said Mis. Mills. Well, at any rate,' continued Jane, "'I would not walk from here to school again to-day for anything in the world.' 0, yes, you would, my dear,' said the mother gently. No, mother, I am sure I would not ; I am certain nothing would tempt me.1 'But I am nearly certain you could be induced to go without any urging,' answer ed her mother. Well, mother, try me, and see if any thing could make me willing to go,' Suppose,' said Mrs. Mills, I should offer to take you to the panorama this af teonoon T I expect to visit it.' "Do you, mother ?" said Jane, with great animation. 'May I go ? you prom ised to take me when you went.' I intended to have done so,' replied her mother, 'but the place where it is exhibited is a very long way beyond the school.' 'I am quite rested now, dear mother !' said Jane. I would not fail of going for all the world ! Why do you smile, moth er I 'To think what an inconsistent little daughter I have.' 'What do you mean by inconsistent, mother?' 'Why, When a little girl says, one minute, that she would not walk a partic ular distance for any thing in the world, and then in the next mii.ute says, she would not fail to walk still Anther for all the world, she not only talks incon sistently, but foolishly. It is a very bad habit to use suce expressions. 'Yesterday, when you come home from school, you said you were almost fright ened out of your life, and when I enqui red as to the cause of your alarm, you re plied that you had met as many as, a thou sand cross dogs on your way home fiom school. Now, dear daughter, I wish you would break yourself of this bad hadit. When you are tired, or hungry, or fright ened, use the simple words that express your meaning. For instance, you may be tired, or exceedingly tired ; or you may be alarmed, or frightened, or terrifi ed. 'From this time let your lips speak the thing you mean. The Bible says, 'Let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay,' and adds, that, 'whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.' Will you try to remem ber what I have been saying, and strive to correct this fault, my dear child V said Mrs. Mills. 'Yes, dear mother,' replied Jane; 'for I know it is wrong, and I feel ashamed and sorry for it.' 'Well, -my dear,' added her mother, 'improve ! and now you may get ready to go with me to see the guiasticutus.' Teacher's Offering. . The Effects of Slavery. Our laws scarcely recognize a crime against man, save murder, and violence akin to it, that is not legal under slave laws. There is not a sensual vice which we are taught to abhor, which slavery does not monstrously engender. There is not a sin which religion condemns, that is not gamer tied and sown, reaped and sown ag iin, by American slavery. Among freemen the roa I of honor lies away from animal passion, from sensation, to wards conscience, hope, love, and spirit ual faith, But slavery sharply turns the wretch downward, and teaches and com pels him to evolve the task of life from such motives us are common to him with the ox, the asa, aud the dog. The slave's pleasures are our appetites. Ilia motives are, almost of necessity, those from which religion most earnestly exhorts us. Tr our children labor is honorable, because it is God's ordination of mercy ; because il is an education; because it is the road alike to health and temperate pleasure ; because it is the parent of wealth ; be cause by il the cheerful laborer builds his house, rears his children, gives to tbem the means of knowledge. By labor the north has subdued nature, changed a par simonious suil to fertility, built dwellings for almost her whole population, raised the school-house, established the church, encircled the globe with her ships, and made her books and her papers to be as blades of grass and as leaves of summer for number. But in the South, as if un redeemed from the primal Curse, labor, a badge of shame, is the father of misery. Tho slave labors, but with no cheer it is not the road to respectability it wii honor him with no citizen's trust it brings no bread to his family no jgrain to his gamer no leisure in after days no books to his children. It opens no schoo house door, builds no church, rears for him no factory, lays no keel, fills no bank earns no acres. With sweat, and toil and ignorance, he consumes his life to pour the earning into channels from which he does not drink into hands that nev er honor him, but perpetually rob, and torment.
