of the Society :—
- :Blt'v. JONATHAN E. BARNES—tile faithful
, and beloved Pastor of the Congregational
Church of Darien, a prominent and active
member of the Society and its Committee,
departed this life at his residence in Darien,
after a short illness, May 3lst, 1866, at the
age of 39 years, passing away ere the Sum-
,mer richness and Autumn fruitage of‘ his
tpjromising life were developed and enjoyed.
Mr. ' Barnes was. the worthy son of honored
parents. His fine natural endowments were
enriched by patient study and made effective
' .Iu disposition he ‘Was
an able minister, a judicious pastor and
lead-z His unexpected removal is the
blighting of food hopes, is the smiling down
of a tree of rich promise, is a felt and con-
fesscd loss, leaves a vacancy wherever his
presence was seen or his influence felt and
awakens feelings of deepest regret and keen-
esl sorrow.

fallen, and the stricken family from whose

name which stands second on lhe'list of life

Guns—This Society is in sympathy with the
vast and accumulating workof the Ameri-
fcan Bible Society in securing a thorough
icanvass of the entire country and the gratu-
'tous supply of whatever destitution may be
ound to exist. While we provide, as it So-
,‘ciely, first for thedestitute of our own house-
illnid,’ We are confident that our Treasury
:will be an unfailing fountain. of supply, for
{the active, disbursing hands of the Parent ln-' '

guard Bible-founded homes, show he 0nd
doubt or dispute, not only that “God's 0rd
is marching on.”.but that it is a powerful in-
alrumeutalily for good. It is a fire, but it
does not consuin: itself. It discusses and
tries and dissolves whatever doubtful and
mixed substance is brought in contact With
it. There is no darkness that its light does
not conquer; no hardness that its heat does
not subdue; no inslitutiou that its presence
“does not change. It is a hammer, dealing,
when the Divine Spirit wields it, mighty and
daiiiagiag blows upon the heart of sin. the
hardened conscience, against deludiug super-
stition and degrading idolatry, against cor-
rupting customs and sinful habits. The
Book of books then—the Cross it lifts before
our eyes, the Redemption it offers to our
souls, should be the first, last, grand aim of
our efforts. _

A work has just been published by the
American Tract Society entitled, “Hints and
Thoughts for Christians,” written by Rev.
Dr. Todd, of Pittsfield, who has a way of
putting things” which cannot be excelled.—
The following article, selected from, it, is
well worthy the attention of officers and
members of vacant churches :—
“Thriftyville wants a minister. They are
looking far and near to find one; but they
want the ‘right man.’ Thrift ville is not
one of your old efl'ete places. t is a. place
grown up quickly on Rapid River, in the
beautiful valley of Eureka. It is a very im-
portant place, stand directly over the center
of the earth, so that if a hole were dug, and
a stone dropped into it, it would pass through
the very centre of this great world. It has
a growing population, and boasts of ‘a cir-
cle of very intelligent people.’ Moreover, it
seems to' be ‘lhe centre of a great moral in-
fluence,’ and it now Wants a minister second
to none.’ They want to get the society out
of debt, to repair the old wastes which time
has already made in their half-built sanctua-
ry, to gather in the young, to ‘draw’ a full
house, and to make the concern every way
prosperous and respectable, and easy to sup-
port.
“Now for the qualifications desired. They
are SWW and simple that ‘the right man’
probably stands at your elbow.
“‘Item. He must be a man mature in in-
-tellecl, and ripe in experience; and yet, so
young that all the young people will rush
after him. '
.“Item. He must be quick, ardent, flashing
nervous in temperment, so that he may kin-
dle quick and burn bright, prompt, ready
and wide-awake; and yeta man'oi the most
consumate prudence,whose nerves shall nev-
er be unstrung, not out of tune.
“Item. He must be a man of great, burn-
ing zeal, so that he can startle, arouse, and
kindle, and move the congregation; and yet,
so cautious, so cool, that he is always safe,
calm, self-possessed, unpreturbed.
' “Item. He must ban the power to awak-
en and arouse the church; and yet, let them
be quiet and look on while he does all that
is done for Christ.
“Item. He must urge and move men, and
lead the Whole people to salvation, and get
them all into the church; and yet be so ju-
‘dicious that he can make a difference be-
"tiveen the chafi‘ and the wheat, and let none
but real converts into the fold.
' “Item. He must be strong and original in
the pulpit, and bring none but beaten oil
there; and yet be at leisure to receive any
:call, any interruption, be prepared for every
Occasion, and like the town pump, never
sucking,r for water, or giving out dry.
“Item. He must he a workman who shall
go down deep into the mines of truth, and
quarry out its pillars, and set them up, and
make men come and wrestle around them;
and yet, the most gifted man in light conver-
sation, and on all that floats in the every-
day world around him.
“Itéhi. He must have health, so that his
body never Weiiries, his nerves never quiver,
a real specimen of muscular Christianity;-
und yet, a hard, severe thinker, a close rea-
souer, and a most diligent student, getting
his books from any quarter.
Item. He must be poor in this world’s
good, to show that money is not his object,
so that he can sympathize with the poor,an(l
can‘t help feeling humble and dependent;
and yet his family must be the most hospit-
able, and entertain more company than any
other in town; his children must be second
to none in education and training; they
must be respectably dressed ; he must give
aWay more cheerfully, than any man in the
place, not even excepting Esquire Rich him-
self, and his family must he models, in all
respects, [or the community. ‘
“Item. He must. he a man who can be per-
manent, though Vastly superior to Dr. Solid
oi the next town, who has been with his
flock over thirty ycuis; and his congregation
must bear the some voice, on the same sub-
ject, srvcrul liiiics eyery week; and yet he
must (:iilllt: every time as original, as fresh,
as glowing as if it were but once a year.
. “Item. He must be able to live in a glass
house, always acting in public, coming in
contact with all sci ts of men and prejudi—
cies, so original that all will respect and fear
him; and yet never odd, eccentric, morose,
repulsive, or owing in manners. He should
have the lofty attributes of an angel, with
the sympathies, the gentleness, and softness
of‘ the little child.
“Item. He must be always ready, lofty,
keyed up to do the best possible; and yet so
calm in spirit, in word and look, that noth-
ing can disturb the repose.
“item. He must never preach so that the
people are not proud of him when they have
a stranger in their pew, or so that the echo
of his sermon shall not come back when he
goes abroad; and yet, every sermon must be
so beautiful, that all the young people Will
admire it and wonder over it, and the little
child can carry it all home and repeat it to
her grandmother. .
' “Item. His wife must be the model of all
models. She must be young and handsome,
but not indiscreel or vain. She must be
worthy the admiration of all the people, and
yet be really the liuuiblest of all. She must
watch and discipline, and prune, and lead
iand malw her husband the embodiment of all
7excellence, but she must never be aware of
her power, lest she become overbearing.
She must be the model of a lady, have a fair
'Sface and White hands, though compelled to
ido all the Work of her family. She must be
trendy to meet everybody with a smile, take
Sher hands from the flour at any moment,
iwear a checked apron, and still be dressed
:like alady. Her face must never be other-
?Wise than cheerful, her head must do its ach-
iings in secret, and she must give none occa-
ision to call her extravagant, or to call her
imcan. She must beabic to alter the same
’ dress four tithes, turning it thrice, and fitting
iii to a smaller child each time. She will be
lexpected to be the very life of the great Dor-
icas Society, the most zealous member of the
' Ali-Labor Society, the very backbone of the
E Maternal AsSociaiion, tlic warmleader in the
1 Female Prayei—niceting, the head {ind mover
in the Reading Circle, and the visuor-gener-
al of the poor, She will be expected to he
at all the prayer-meetings, and let how
many soever brethren be present, she Will be
looked to to set the tune for each hymn. As
she receives no salary, of course her other
qualifications are not so important, though
the above are essential.
“Item. The minister must be sound in doc-
trine, able to lay his hands on the founda-
tions of‘ truth. to fortify and defend the Iiill
of Zion ; and yet, must never preach the old
fashioned doctrines. They are not spicy.
They are not taking. They will never ‘draw’
a full house.
“Item. It is rather desirable that he should
be a pious man, and one who lpves his Mas-
ter ; and yet. as this .lll‘llCll‘, pzety, has not
acquired great value in Thriftyville, it would
be well for him not to make that too obtru-
sive.
“Such, in few words, is the man they want
for Thriltyville. If they can light on him
they will payfioe hundred dollars annually!
and not let it run behind unreasonably.
This is not, to be sure, hail What their clerks
receive, but they think that the minister, if
he he only the ‘right’ man, can ‘manage’ to
liveon it. Who is ready ‘?
“N. B.—All applicants must put an extra.
postage-stamp in tha letter, or it will receive
no attention.

Self. Davis’ lilbgulg;
It has been doubted that Jefl‘ Daviswas
actually captured in female attire, and his
sympathizers labored strenuously to dis-
prove the s‘ories which presented him in
SuchailltiiCl'O'J.~ aspect before theworld.
But the l'epo l of fill: Congressional commit-
tee appointed in i:. VI'H ig‘ilc the circumstance
of his capture, v. iiii_:l view to the distribu-
tion of the l‘uu' if I ”fibre-d, shows that poor
Jeff. was ignolilg, innillllled as a female, and
was actually Criliglil while endeavoring to
sneak out of his r «mp in the best female
costume his il'u‘lt Hing chest aflorded : '
The testimony of Gen. Wilson together
with the repo: ts n-l his subordinates, present-
ed to the CUIIIIIIiHI‘H show that Mr. Davis

A shawl, “draw” rin'l‘ the head.”
A pair of top boots, which the cloak i. l.
ed to hide and a tin pail, carried upon 3
head.
Clothed in this garb, “she" or rather “he"
as 'it afterward appeared, was moving along
with Miss Howell toward the woods as it
going for water. Unfortunately however,
for the success of the ruse, his boots betrayed
him. The Michigan cavalry failed to see
the connection between top boots and a la-
dy’s water proof; curiosity was aroused,
and a satisfactory examination was forth-
With made of the “What Is It.” Detected
in the disguise, the would be female turned
upon the pursuers, and exhibited a decided
masculine inclination to fight. Mrs. Davis
at the same time made her appearance upon
the scene of contemplated hostilities, and
advised the troops to keep at a safe dis-
tance, lest he of the imi taiion .corset might
“hurt some of them." Further parleying,

WA correspondent of the Ti ihune, gives
the following rebel version of the cfi‘ect of
Gen. Burnsidc‘s niinc explosion, in the cam-
paign before Petersbnig. The correspond-
ent after the describing the nature of the
ground, &c., says :
“Some deserlei's from our armygave the
Rebels an intimation of what was going on
and, to thwart the enterprise, they commen-
ced countermining, and one 'well was actu-
ally sunk immediately over the tunnel, but it
was n >t dug quite deep enough, and after
the explosion the heavy rains that washed
down into It showed how nearly they had
succeeded. While looking at, and, comment-
ing upon What the whole North now deem
afailure. the gentleman accompanying me
said .- ‘I was an officer in the Confederate
army, and I was in this fight and all Others
that occured in this immediate vicinity. I
saw that explosion, and know of its eflects,
and let me assure you it was not a failure.
The mine was sprung immediately under a
battery supported by 200 men, and of that
number only two escaped ; and, notwith-
standing all our newspapers may have said
to the contrary, in those desperate charges
which were made on the clay of and succeed-
ing the explosion, we lost 3,000 men, and
no one thing during the whole war produ-
ced such a demoralizing influence among
our troops, and in my Opinion, tendered
more strongly to terminate the contest.
From that day desertion became more fre-
quent, and from the uncertain horrors which
that event throw around service ‘in the from]
the greatest distraction began to prevail in
all ranks of the army.’ ”

BOUND TO SEE IT THROUGH.—TWO un-
sophisticated country girls eame to Boston
last week, on a visit to their city aunt; and
while there were taken to the Continental to
see "The Black Crook."
When the nymphs of the ballet appeared
on the stage, some with very brief skirts and
gossamer clothing, and others in the peculiar
undress uniform, for which the play is re-
iiiarkablc, the girls gazed in astonished and
unembarrassed silence awhile, when one
whispered to her sister—
“0, Jennie i”
“Well, Mary ‘2"
“It ain’t nice. I don’t like it.”
“Hush. Mary—florid.”
“But I wan’t to go. I shouldn’t have
thought aunt would have brought us here.”
"Do keep still, Mary; folks will laugh at
on.”
“I don't care: it ain’t nice." ,
“Well,” said Jennie, in a determined man-
ner,-her own face a vivid scarlet : this is the
first time I have even been in a theater, and
I presume it will be the last; so I shall stay it
out if they dance every my all their backs."

BEAUTIFUL METAPnon.—Henry Ward
Beecher, in one of the “star” papers in the
New YOik Independent, says : '
We have known men, upon whose grounds
waved magnificent trees of centuries growth
lifted up into the air with vast breadth, and
full of‘twilight and mid-day ; who cut down
all these. mighty monarchs, and cleared the
ground bare; and then when the fierce sum-
mer sun gazed iiill into their face with its
fire, they betiiotight themselves of shade, and
forthwith set out a golden generation of thin
sliadowless sticks, pining and waiting until
they should stretch out their boughs with
protection and darken the ground with grate-
ful shadows—Such folly is theirs who refuse
the tree of life the shadow of the ' Almighty
and sit, instead, under the feeble trees of
their own planting, whose tops will ,never be
broad enough to shield them, and Whose
bough will never voice to them the music of
the air.
