Why should you "wish a name like mine

As wtorthies ofour land ? _ ‘
\Vhat-will the future age have gained,

From knowin «I was entertained

Rather let me record a name
That shall adorn your page,
\Vhich, liketlie sun, is still the same,
And shines from age to age :
Jesus, who found me when I stray’d
In .,/ilfric’a dreary wild, I
Who for my soul a ransom paid,
' And made his foe a child.
He taught my wild blasphenious tongue
To aim at pray’r and praise,
To make his grace my theme and song»
And guided all my ways.
A pattern now of mercy’s power,

EDUCATION OF MINISTERS.
The following is a part of the Speech de-
livered by the Rev. Mr. Cox beldre the Edu-
cation Society "of New York at its late Anni-
versary. Apart from its otlierexcelleiicies,
the soundngss and strength of its argument
give it an equal rank with. the best speeches
delivered at the recent religious Anniversaries.
PAUL, A LEARNED —iuiivis'reit.
The personal character ofthe blessed Paul,
. ,
tliat.sublime examplar of our faith, that inde-
fatigable hero of the cross, that erudite apos-
tle of Jesus, is itself a volume, or rather a
monument ofevidence in favour ofa learned
ministry. Paul was the subject ofa regular,
liberal, and thorough education. He was na-
tively of Tarsus, in Cilicia, “ is citizen of no
mean city ; yet brought up in Jerusalem at
the feet of Giunaliel, and taught accordlpig
to the perfect manner of the law ofthe a-
thers.” He lived in the liiihermost border of
the Aiigiistan age ; and by the wealth ofhis
‘intellect, the lustre of his scholarship, and the
jurisdiction of his ministry, he prolonged its
date, or rather eclipsed its glory with ‘ a more
excellent way.’ He was an accurate and ac-
complished linguist-—a character which lie
prized tnaiuly in‘ siibserviency to his official
usefulness. “I thank my God,” says he_to
the gift—loving Corinthians. “I speak with
tongues more thait you all.” He was_famil-
iarly acquainted with the Greek classic|s_;-—-
and could relish the elegancies and avail tim-
selfof the auxiliaries oftliose master.spir,_its
.9,_fihe aiicieut lyre. In three recorded instan-
ces—and in how many that are not recorded,
we may imagiue—-he quotes the Greriaii po-
ets: Aratiis, in his eloquent haranguem the
Areopagus at Athens; Menander, in liisin-
imitable dissertation on the resiirrectioii of
the body ; and Epiiiieiiides, oi Crete. in his
patriarchal epistle “ to Titus, his own son, af-
ter the common laith.” Considered as a-man,‘
a scholar,‘ and a rlietorician, lie was one of
the most conspicuous personages of antiquity;
one of the most eminent, useful and influen-
tial characters thatever lived. His coiitribii-
tions to the sacred canon are richer, fuller,
and more masterly in doctrinal elucidation,
than those ofan ' other inspired writer of the
New Testament), whom the Holy Ghost-_-‘first
fitted and then-—used, as his amanuensisin
completing the revelation of God. Let us
advert to the posthumous iustrumeiitality of
his writings in all intervening centugies ; to
the blessin ‘of ii ht conviction an oy in
God wlllcllgllley ll§V0’spE‘d through thejspirits
ofiiiillions now glorified; to the moral re-
stiaints they have imposed tipon the lawless
passions of men ; to the impetus they have
given to individual greatnpss; to the rays they
emitted inthe glorious re orntation ; to their
hallowed ascendancy and gracioiis connec-
tions in our own age; to their prospective cur-
rency among the nations and in all the lan-
gvages of the peopled earth; to their milleni-
al triumphs-—perhaps we may suppose their
eternal subserviency to the evolution oftruth
even in that perfect world where his being is
now blessed, and where his gratitude still loves
to give glory to whom it is due, saying, “ by
the grace of God Iain what I act.”
We ask, could Paul have been as useful
“jithout learning as with it ? Not without a
continued iniracle,_certainly. Did he ap-
prove of ignorance in orders ? Ignorant men
advocate ignorance. What says Paul ? “A
bislto_p must be-—apt to teach—sober,_iusi, lio-
ly, temperate; holding fast the faitlilul word
as he hath been taught, that he may be able
by sound doctrine both to exliort and to coit-
viiiee-the gainsayers.” Many an exliorter is
unable to convince, and gainsayers are, like
, -the poor, always-with us. Foremost in the
ranks, and central inthe-van, and conspicu-
pus to the lites ofthe church inil_itant,- is post-
ed the preacher of Jesus :——,-and ,must he be
nothing but an exhorter? Illiist‘ he rush heed-
less, uncalled, unqualified to the mortal con-
flict ? Is ihistlie mind of Paul, who had “ the
.__L
I - mind ofClirist ?” . Does he not pointedly ex-
pose aiid condemn those praguiatical -reli-
gionists, those disorderly zealots, those pas-
sionate volunteers who affect the dignities and
‘usurp the functions, and "degrade the duties
of an oflice the greatest in the world, and to
which they are utterly incompetent? Who
are they whom he marks as “ desiring to be
teacheis ofthe. law ; iiiiderstatiding neither
4,-[mi they say, nor wltereoftliey afIirin”—“ as
unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, whose
iiioutlis must be stopped .5” Paul. when at
.]{nine,' previously to -his reception of that
I crown of ,itiari.yrdom which terminated his
earthly career, was lavishing the benevolent
inspifations of his last" thoughts——uot on his
owticouditioii, nor the head.-:inan’s axe that
wasfiharpeiiing for its office, but—oii this ino-
mentous topic, the procureiiient and perpetu-
ity of ‘a succession ‘of coiiiiieaentéininistei-s in
the church.‘ In his second—'%,-: i‘ "valediciory
episile to Timothy, he says “ And the things
that thoti hast heard of_u:e among many wit-
-nesses, the same commit ll‘I0ll—l0_fI1‘llltfl_1lm€n,
Vwlio shall be ‘able to teach others also.” These
“ things,” were, doubtless, the atiilientic doc-
trines, duties, and facts of Christianity. They
' were to be troiisinitted to future ages in their
“unadulterated piurity ‘F the same”—-for weantl
our children iie_ed,as really as_Pat_il,,'Tii_iii_it_liy,
arid,-their august] associates,-tliatwfery. same re-
" ligioii “which :was..T-once,delivered to_;.the'
saints,” and which recognises no f_discriini,na-
lion ainong.th_e’ir'i'embers of the human faintly
other than that grand.and divine one, which
1 it alone can iiia_ke,,and wliichflasts forevei;.--
" ‘_I‘,hese"‘,'lhin_gs”were to,be “»committed’_-to
his successors,a_s theinofficial depositaries and
dispensers, who must be not only sincere
Christians, but competent ii_istrtictors—---not
only “’ faiilifiil men,” but ‘table to teach oth-
ers also.” In the view ofPaul,~ these quali '
ties weredissltnilar and separable ; and ifthe
word “ others" means not so niuen other men
' as other preachers, and refers, as I suppose it
does’, not so much to the ordinary instruction
given to private individuals, as to that which
fits for official duties, and furnishes the appro-
ved aspiratit for the “ good work” ofthe miti-
istry——-a sentiment in which I am supported
by Dr. Mackiiight—"-then is this text the sanc-
lion, and the epitome, and the motto of our’
whole system ofeducation. Many good men
are destitute ofthe native didactic faculty,
and ofthe holy enthusiasm that “ desires the
oflice ofa bishop,” and ofthose acquired fa-
cilities without which they are neither “ apt”
nor “ able to teach” the things of religion :—
while all these qualifications are blended in
him who is divinely called and authorized to
preach the gospel.
THE ILLITBR-ATE Mix-isrcn.
An illiterate preacher is incapable ofdefin-
iteness; especially in the detail, as distinguish-
ed front the generality ofthings. As his 0-
pinions are not the result of elaborated tlio’t
or consecutive reasoning, they are loose, un-
certain, variant. He may be eminent for spir-
itual inindedness ; his heart may be wrapt in
the cause of God ; yet the incertitiide of his
scattering efiitsioiis may more puzzle than in-
struct, more injure than benefit his hearers.
‘F For ifthe trumpet give art uncertain sound,
who shall prepare hiinself to the battle !”-—
.W—hen victory declared for David, and Absa-
lom was slain by the hand ofJoab, the entliii-
siasm ofthe moment thrilled the total host.-
Ahimaaz participated in the generaljoy, for
he ltiiew, generally, that the cause ofthe king
was triumphant. Ahimaaz was loyal, and his
spirit botinded to herald theinews to the king,
“ how that the Lord had avenged him of his
£’ll8lllleS.” Tliiice did he importune his corn-
mander for a licence to rim. “ And Joab
said, wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing
thou hast no tidings ready?” Still he per-
sisted : and though Ciislii, a competent mes-
senger was already running, and charged with
ofiicial despatches to the King, his persever-
ance succeeded ;aiid Joab said unto liim,ruti.
“ Then Aliiniaaz i‘z:i) by the way ofthe plain,
and overran Cuslii.” I-le outstripped the reg-
ular ambassador, arrived in a hurry of patri-
otism, and found his afllicted sovereign all
anxiety to learn particulars. He announced
the victory in general terms; the detail on
some accoiint—-lie could not command.-
“ And the King said, is the young man Ab-
salom sale?” And Ahiinaaz answered, * when
Joah sent the Kin2’s servant, and me thy ser-
vant,I saw a great tumult, but I knew not
what it was.” Here’ was the result of his
pains-taking activity. It was all indefiiiite-
uess ! He heard a noise, but he knew not its
meaning; he saw a dust, the symbol of con-
fused brains ; something marvellous had hap-
pened iii which he felt_inticli interested ; but
further this deponeiit saith not. Whether he
understood the late of Absalom-or not, seems
_llllC.el'lall').; that he did not rehearse it, is sure.
“ And the King said unto him,,,tui-ii aside and
stand "here. And he turned aside, and stood
still.” Thus may every cfficious Ahimaaz
that iiitrudes uiifiirnislied into the ministry,
anticipate the rebuke of David’s son and
Lord, who has no need of no such empty
couriers; The event ofa battle, the lall ofa
hero, or the catastrophe ofa nation‘, are small
matters conipa-redivitli the concerns of the
soul, the objects of religion, and the mysteries
of God.
After taking the position that lll€_CllllT'Cll in
all ages is obligated to probide an able and
well educated Jllinislry, and maintaining it by
appropriate arguments, Mr. Cox remarks-—
If it he demanded, what degree oflearning
is necessary? we reply, a coiiipeteiit degree,
or that which may qualify the candidate to be
a safe guide, a profitable preacher, atid a pas-
light” to the end of his course.
able to expound the Scriptures with correct-
iiess, as one set for the “ defence of the gos-
pel.” But where cati we find the proper qual-
ities in illiterate andpretending ignorance?
--I must suspect the geiiuineness ofliis chris-
tianity who wishes to see its authentic teach-
ers idiots in knowledge. It reminds me o
the policy of that apostate, the son of Nebat,
whose name is never mentioned in Scripture
without its appropriate brand——“ who caused
Israel to sin ;” and a part of whose sin it was
to vulgarizc the priesthood. He ‘* made priests
ofthe lowest of the people, who were not of
the sons ofLevi.” The whole history of the
church, and of her worthies since the days of
Paul, is in favor ofa learned ministry.
A competent ministry,,dispersed at proper
intervals over our favored |aiid,would promote
intelligence, order,vii'tue, and all the charities
ofthe social state. But why speak I oftliese?
Valuable as they are, they are transitory too.
“The happiness which Cliristiauity confers
in the present life are blessings which it scat-
ters by the way in lIS.lll8l'CIl.l() immortality.”
Here Mr. President, is the glory of the bios-
pel. It. sheds the light of God upon our pros-
pects ol deatlilcss existence. It gives us “ ev-
erlasting consolation and good hcpe through
grace.” It proclaims “ Jesus Christ and him
c_rucified” as the salvation of them that be-
lieve. And who may put the extiiiguisher tip-
Oll its light, 0|‘ C_ovet—iti-ipossible avarice 1-.-

The affair of f_4€‘IIovel’s fight” is of no‘ordi-
nary character-'"-the enterprise in the outcast,
evinced a chivalrous devotedness, hardihooil,
and contempt of danger, unknown to modern
times. The whole n_iiinber,with Capt. Lovel,
officers, soldiers, surgeon, chaplain, and boys,
consisted of 46 only, when they voluntarily
marched, from the vicinity of Boston, having
to traverse a great extent ofinhospitable-svil-i
derness to the plains of Pequawkitt.——Before
they arrived at tliescene of action,tlieir iiutn-
ber was reduced to 84. Lovel, at the head of
that little band of Invincibles, (except one,)
marched forward, to his death, deteririined to
fight the renowned Paucus, and his fierce
crew of eighty Indian warriors on their own
ground. The Indians first discovered Lovel
and his party, lay in ambush, took their own.
time to attack, gave the first fire, soon swept
off Lovel and eight others, and one fled, (fin.
the fight,) leaving btit 23, ofwhom two were
wounded, to contend “at fearful odds.” They
retreated,under Eiisigii Seth \Vyiiian, of Wo-
biirn, to the Pond, which you have seen, now
bearing the name of Lovel and consecrated
to his memory ;--on that memorable beach
the brave Q3 maintained their ground from
ieii in the morning until about sunset, when
the surviving Indians left them masters of the
field. “ Lovel’s fight,” and the incidents re-
lating to many of those who matched with
him, leave nothing for the eipbelishments of
romance. After the light had continued un-
til the guns had become foul by frequent fir-
ing. the Chief Pagus and John Chamberlain
of Groten, one of Lovel"s soldiers, and an old
acquaintance ofthe Red Sachem, deliberate-
ly waslted out their pieces, conversing with
each other during the process, and agreed to
take a shot at each other, each confideml_v pre-
dicting his own success; fortunately forCham-
berlaiii, as he had anticipated, his old long
gun primed from the barrel ; and tiiistiillll [0
that, Chamberlain pulled trigger, as Pagus
(who had been obliged to prime fr. his horn,)
was bringing his piece to a level—Pagiis fell!
and his gun discharged at the sun l-—Thc In-
dians then elected anotlter Chief; and whilst
they were qualifying him, by their infernal
yells, for his new dignity, Ensign Wyman $2.
Chamberlain crept near to them and shot
him l--When the survivors ofthe 34. (20 only),
were about to leave tliebattle ground, they
found that eleven of them were badly woun-
ded, biit able to travel; three more were about
to expire. Lieut. Jouathaii Robbins ofDtin-
stable, a fine, hale, daiiiitless young man, had,
his tliigli broken, and was left by the Pond.
Before the departure of his conipanious, (as
history says) he desired them to charge his
gun and leave it by his side, declaring tliat,
“ as the Indians will come in the morning to
scalp me, I will kill one or itiore oftliemifl
caii” ! !-—but one ofthe Johiisons, of ,Love_l’s'
party,(wlio survived the battle,becarfie a gdod
Deacon of a Christian Church, aiidlived to a
good old age,) visited the theatre of lii‘§7‘ex-
ploits (at the age of 16, by Lovcl’s Pond,)
since the coinmencemeiit of the settlements
here; and stated, i.ii regard to Lieut. Robbins,
that he requested to have 9. guns loaded pla-
ced by liiin,and declared, iflie should be alive
and able, when the Iudiaiis returned, that he
“ would kill two more of tliein,”——and John-.
son adds, that early the next morning, he
heard three guns, in the direction ofthe pond
from where he and the residue of Lov‘el’s men’
ilien were : and that after the peace, the Indi-
ans confessed that Robbins fired his two guns
and killed two ofthe ntiiiiber and wounded a.
third; and that the Indians then fired and kil-
led him. Ensign (afterwards Capt.)Wyman,
at the Ballle ofLe:i:-inglon, fifty years (within
a few days) alter the “ Lovel's Fight,” when
he was upwards of severity, and too old to
play the soldier on foot,moiinted his old white
charger, and pursued the retreating British
troops to the-vicinity of Boston, keeping tip a
steady and fatal fire upon them, from his old
well tried iiiusket,duriiig the whole of their
retreat! Young Frye, Lovel's Cliaplain,was
one of the desperate 33, who fought the “ for-
lorn hope,” by the pond.-—Tradition adds
mitcli interest to the historical account given
ofhitii; he graduated at College, in 1727.3-—
‘becainc atiaclied to a young lady whom he
did not uiarry ; left Aiidover, and rushed to,
the conflict that terminated in his death.
Tlirotigliout the whole scene ofthe Fight, e-
veii.after -he was mortally wounded, be dis-
played bravery and resolution, that astonished
the oldest veterans ofthe party,——he was able
to walk btit a few miles from the battle ground
f “ when he desired his coinpaiiions to leave
him, as he found himself dying, and would
notconseiit to detain them, as he expected in
a few hours to be in eternity, and was not a-
fraid to die,”—his coinpauions left hint, and
he died alone, “ lar in a wilderness obscure,”
without one friend to close his eyes, or shroud
his remains from the tenants of the forest; he
had the“ Journal ofthe march in his pocket;”‘
his body was never discovered. Some have
supposed, fioiu the description ofthe ground
where he was left, by his surviving compan-
ions, that he died in or near the toad oyer
which you passed, in June 1898, between Ea-
ton and Fryeburg. Before he left his latlier’s
tojoin Lovel, be planted a young Elm Tree
on the Common, near his father’s house, in
Audover, and requested his friends to guard
and cherish it for his sake, until his return, 8:.
which I believe is still standing. When Sam-
uel L. Kiiapp, Esq. now of Boston.wliokiiew
the history of the tree, was fitting for College
at Phillips’. Academy in Andover, he discov-
ered by the iiiovenieiit ofa hardy wood ctiop-
per, who, with his axe in his hand, in a drea-
ry winter’s day was -beating down the siioiv,
at tliefoot of the tree, that he was about to
fell it! alarmed and iiidigtiaiit at the iiiedita-
ted sacrilege, he flew to the spot, prevailed on
the veteran ofthe axe :to stay his hand, for a
short time, hastened to the overseers of the
poor for whose comfort the tree was destined;
persuaded the overseers toiaccept a demand
he had against the Town for scliool- keeping,
or some other juvenile services, of suflicieiit
amount to purchase as much fuel for the poor
as the tree would make ; thus. procured a re-
spite for the sacred~Elm l—tVlay Knapp be

_ I I THE PIANO,._"g. ,
« As the last thrilling iioies of “,Hom'e, sweet
home,” floated round thedear circle. in _which
were coiicer_itrated.a little world‘,-or little knot
of beings who were all the world to each oth-
er, airaudible sob broke the enchantiiient
which this toucliiiig little song, accompanied
by the sweet voice of my young friend, had.
castaifotind me. It burst from the bosom of
one who had been severely disciplined in the
school of adversity—-one who had beheld the
wreck oiall her youthful, hopes, without one
inurniiiring word against the God who guides
the storm—but noiv the sudden reflection that
she heard, for the last time, the soft melody of
her beloved-daug|ite.r’s voice, accompanying
the melting tones of her piaiio—saw, for the
last time, her fingers sweep the speaking keys
— beheld her youthful face glowing with ani-
mation and ha ppinesspincoiisciotis ofthe blow
that awaited her, a sigh involuntarily escaped
her, and the startling tear told ofsudden an-
guish. She turned to me, and said in a low
voice, “ I wish I could have saved Amelia’s
piano—it willbreak her heart to part with it.
Poor thing, she little thinks that she will no
more sing and play to charm away my mel-
anchoIy.”—The unconscious girl closed the
instriiiiieiii, and retnarked ' Did you observe,
dear mama that my piano waiiis tuning ? and
will yoti allow’ Mr. N. to come and tune it
to-morrow .7’ .. I
A tearstole down the cheeks of my respec-
ted friend. '
‘ Are you ill, my dear mother?’ inquired
Amelia, ‘ or has any thing new occurred to
distress you ? If so, do not ltide it from me ;
for rest assured, no deprivation, no exertion,
no suffering, can afllict me like seeing you
unhappy. I have jpst been thinking as soon
as’ my piano is iuiicd,.I will beg Mrs.
to let me undertake to instruct her two girls
inthe rudiinems of music; and who knows
dear mother, but, in time, it will be in my
power to support you with the assistance of
my valued instrument ?’
I gazed for a moinent, with feelings ofsur-
prize and admiration, on the glowing, aniina—
ied face oftliis lovely, ingenious girl, and nev-
or felt my own want of fortune so keenly as
at that moment. A silent ejaculation invol-
untarily rose to heaven, that the Almighty
would open some way to save poor Amelia’s
piano from the fangs ofa rapacioiis landlord.
The hour of separation had hardly arrived ;
and, after imprinting a warm kiss on Ainelia’s
cheek, and whispering in the ear of my af-
flicted friend, “Still trust in the Lord our
God,” I left the house with feelings I cannot
describe. With the down I repaired to the
auction rooms, in street, and waited, ag-
onizing, the opening ofthe sales. The crowd
was large, and several valuable pieces of fur-
niture, aud some elegant paintings were noti-
ced in the liaiid-bills. I cast a glance over
the rooms and in one corner stooda female of
exquisite foriii—-lier lace was bid from public
view by a large calasli—lier head was averted
‘and rested against the window, otit of which
she appeared to be gazing at the busy crowd
below. Near herstood a piano. One glance
was siifiicient. I hastened to the spot, and
in a low voice, articulated, ‘ Amelia H d,
is this you ?’ , '
The distressed girl clasped my arm, and
burst into tears.
‘ Yes, my good sir, I little thought, when
you left us last evening, that our cruel land-
lord would this morning seize my piano, and
bring it tobe exposed for sale. 0, my dear
sir, cannot you devise some means tosave it
for me ?’ _ . ' '
At this moment the auctioneer called for
the instriiment,aud it was removed into the
centre ofthe rooui for examination. Several
geiitleiiien reiiiarked that it was a sweet-ton-
ed iiistriinient, but out oftune.' The poor girl
hung on my arm in silent grief. The bidding
commenced. Foreiiiost in the crowdfstood the
son ofhirs. H d’s deiesietl landlord. He
bid, after some debate, twenlyjivc dollars! and
there was a pause. Near Amelia stood an
interesting youth, evidently unconcerned in
the event ofthe sale of the piano, examining
some fine paiiitings that were soon to be ex-
posed. The idea that this cold, uiifceliiig
being was going to purchase, undisputed, this
favorite, almost idolized article, for the trifling
sum oftwenty-five dollars, for a moment made
her forget where she was, and she exclaimed-
‘ Must the only thing I value he sacrificed
forthis pitifulsiiiii,witliotiteffectingoneobject?
The youth started, gazed on the beautiful
girl one instant, and bid one hundred dollars!
and the piano was immediately struck off to
Mr. Seymour.
The moment the name of Seymour was
called, my heart felt the sound, and I re-call-
ed the features of my old friend and compati-
ion in arms, Major Horatio Seymour. Isaw
this young man was his own son, ever ready
to answer the calls ofhumanity.
The piano was ordered back to the dwelling
of Mrs. II—.—.——-d.
‘ Heaven will reward you sir !’ was all the
poor girl could articulate when she heard this
order. “ One tune from its fair owner, is all
the reward I ask, replied the young entliitsi-
ast.” He accompanied me to my grateful
friend’s habitation, where the sweet voice anil
artless manners of Amelia completed the lin-
pressioii her beauty iuadc upon his heart. A
few short months saw her and her excellent
parents restored to that rank they were made
to adorn.
1 often, in my daily rambles, call and take
a look at the happy circle asseiiihled round
‘Seymonr’s fire side. Amelia still plays ‘Home,
sweet home,’ while. her affeciioiiate husband
frequently remarks—-“ To llicpia.no»I am in-
debted for all my liappiness.” -
