Voluntary Contributions.” It must be distinctly understood, that the EDITOR does not hold manner our LITTLE MINERS are at work, and eventually will himself responsible for the sentiments of his correspondents. DEAR EDITOR.—I rejoice that the "Primitive Standard" is unfurled. We have now a Magazine," of ammunition, and a "STANDARD" of victory! May it float on the breeze of Divine approbation. Amen. An Attack upon the Devil's Kingdom, by the Primitive Methodist Combined Forces, fighting under the Banner of the Cross; King Jesus, the great Commander, Death or Victory, the Motto; Heaven, the Prize! The first who enter the field of action, are the MISSIONARIES, like Pioneers or Hatchet Men, clearing the way to let the Grand Army enter the field of battle, cutting their way into Australia and the great Continent of America, and in Europe bringing the Devil's Kingdom down with a mighty fall. Glory! In march the Royal Volunteers or TRAVELLING PREACHERS with firm and steady step, commencing the action from the Pulpit and sometimes from the Press against the powers of darkness, and thousands of the Devil's subjects have fallen victims to King Immanuel's cause within the last half century. In this part of the army fighting under the banner of the cross, there are more than five hundred in different parts of the globe preparing for the entrance of the Artillery, broad awake and ready for action, "Salvation to the Lamb!!!" Then follows the Royal Artillery, or LOCAL PREACHERS, with their plain hard preaching,-attacking the Devil's Batteries like heavy Cannon, making a grand stand against the Artillery of Hell. In this part of King Immanuel's Army, there are nearly ten thousands all clad in plain armour, but in good condition; the Devil dont like them, these are all preparing the way for the grand and powerful Army of Reserve to enter the field of battle-Shouting Victory!!! The great and powerful Army of Reserve, then marches into the field full of heavenly fire,-this is the GRAND PRAYING ARMY,-the Devil trembles at their approach; they are sending up strong cries to King Immanuel to send the Spirit down for the salvation of the World. The whole forming but one combined army, and are all enlisted under the Banner of the Cross to find their way to Heaven. There are Recruiting Parties out to enlist all they can, to join the main army, to fight for King Immanuel, "to go without the Camp bearing his reproach;" refusing none who will leave the Devil's employ and fight for King Jesus. Salvation to the Lamb for ever and ever!!! The Battle will be ours, the Devil's batteries are giving way, it is all on our side, the Heavenly troops are all in motion, they gain ground very fast-another shout in the Camp and the victory will be ours! the crimson flag is unfurled, -the Gospel Trumpet sounds to battle by the Travelling Preachers, the Local Artillery are closing in very fast, the ARMY of RESERVE are close at their heels, broad awake, and ready for orders. May every part of the Army obey the voice of the Spirit, and find their way to glory, and sing salvation to him that sits upon the throne for ever and ever, and be ready to meet him when he shall come with his Holy Angels in the clouds, when time shall be no more. Glory be to the Lamb for ever!!! Our TRUSTEES have the care and the charge of the Chapels, where the Gospel Trumpet is blown to alarm the sinner of his danger and bring him to repentance, they preserve our rights and privileges, our Chapels are our Garrisons, or places of shelter from the insults of the Devil's children. In this great and grand Army, our CLASS LEADERS bring up the rear, fulfilling their offices, by instructing the young recruits that have enlisted under the Banner of the Cross, that they may keep their armour bright to defend themselves against the powers of darkness,-to ward off their fiery darts,-they have also the care of the Church, to keep it clean and in good order. There is in an Army, a Paymaster General, who has the Military Chest,-the STEWARDS in our different circuits have the care of the money concerns, and to keep all the business in good order; they stand firm to their post. The grand INSTITUTION of SUNDAY SCHOOLS is the next that follows in this Grand Army,-they are like the Sappers and Miners in an army, their progress is slow but sure. Miners sometimes form a subterraneous passage to undermine a garrison or fort, to gain a conquest over an enemy; in like rise in a mass under the Devil's Kingdom and shake it to its centre-of this branch of the army there are thousands upon thousands, the Devil dreads the young Miners, their numbers are great and increasing, may this part of the army last, until the great trump is blown at the final close of time,may the little Miners get safe to Heaven, and shout Salvation for ever and ever! In this well-disciplined army, there are Bands of Music, and even the Heavenly Harpers unite with these Bands in singing for ever and ever, for even angels rejoice when sinners are conSalvation to Him that sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb verted to God, and there will be no discord in those happy regions, neither of Nation, nor Sect, nor Party, when we reach those bright regions; for it will be one burst of praise to the FATHER, and to the SON, and to the HOLY SPIRIT, who hath brought us safe to glory; we shall make the very vault of Heaven ring again with loud Hallelujahs. Glory, Glory!!! Christ is my Pilot wise, my compass is His word, My soul each storm defies, while I have such a Lord: How can I sink with such a prop, that bears the world and all things up. Then in full sail my port I'll find, and leave the world and sin behind, NOTES OF A TOUR IN THE NORTH, BY A P. M. MINISTER. MR. EDITOR.-Having been at Newcastle-on-Tyne, at the anniversary of the Nelson Street chapel, in the autumn of last year, and in accordance with the wishes of the friends there, promised to do my part towards effecting an arrangement for going again this year, I resolved upon embracing the opportunity afforded by my circuit of complying with the requests made by Newcastle friends, and at the same time of extending my journey across the Tweed, and taking a brief tour through a part of Scotland, as it had never fallen to my lot to see that portion of her Majesty's dominions. Accordingly, on Saturday morning, September 17th, I left Haslingden by the half-past seven train, expecting to spend a few hours in Leeds, and then to reach Newcastle a little after ten at night. The morning was beautifully fine, and the ride from Haslingden along the line to Accrington, and thence to Leeds, was very delightful. I was happy to meet with Mr. Dodsworth, author of "The Better Land," at the Burnley station, and to have the pleasure of his company to Leeds, he having to preach there on the following day. At Keighley we were joined by my old friend and colleague, Mr. J. Simpson, author of " the Prodigal Son," &c.; who was going to Shipley, and the chat with him, though brief, was refreshing. Passing along by Shipley, we saw the vast mill recently erected by Titus Salt, Esq., of Bradford, and we could not help being struck with the majesty and symmetry of the works, which even a passing glance discovered. I understand the premises were formally opened on the following Tuesday, when Lord Harewood, Mr. Salt himself, and a great number of other persons (it is said 3,750) sat down to a sumptuous dinner, provided by the liberal owner of the works. The place is called after the spirited proprietor, Saltaire, and was opened on the anniversary of his birth day, and the coming of age of his eldest son. The large building is 550 feet long, 72 in height, and covers six acres of ground: and composed of six stories, executed in Imassive stone, in the boldest style of Italian architecture, is emphatically a mammoth palace of industry. The chimney is 250 feet in height, in the form of an Italian campanile, and 2400 tons of solid stone have been absorbed in forming a bed for the engine to rest on. There are to be 1200 looms in the weaving shed, and they will be capable of producing 30,000 yards of alpaca cloth per diem, or nearly 18 miles each day, and 5,688 miles of cloth per annum; 4,500 hands will require to be employed, and an addition to the population of the neighbourhood of 9000, or 10,000 will take place. To accommodate these, 700 dwelling houses are to be erected by Mr. Salt, replete with every convenience. Wide streets, spacious squares, with gar dens attached, ground for recreation, a large dining hall and kitchens, baths and washhouses, a covered market, schools, and a church, each combining every improvement that modern science has brought to light, are to be proceeded with without delay. I believe the manufacture of wool of the alpaca animal has raised Mr. Salt to his present position, and it seems the stupendous works now erecting are to be largely devoted to the same manufacture. The fine spirit and truly gentlemanly carriage of Mr. Salt endear him to all classes, and he seems to be likely long to reign among the kings of the manufacturing population. After leaving this place we passed the grounds and premises of Woodhouse-grove Wesleyan school, and saw the boys amusing themselves with a game of cricket. Shortly afterwards we reached the town of Leeds; and leaving the station, which is a very respectable structure, covered with a cast iron roof and glass, and built by Mr. Ireland of Manchester, we called at the book-binding establishment of Mr. Reynard, whom we were happy to find at home. We also met with our brethren C. and R. Smith, the superintendents of the two Leeds circuits, and had a little agreeable conversation together. After taking dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Reynard, and their intelligent daughter, and her husband, I went with brother C. Smith, to see a few lions of the town. The site of the splendid new town hall we could only see at a distance, but the Wesleyan chapels, Oxford place, and Brunswick; Belgrave chapel, lately that of Dr. Hamilton, now Mr. Conder's; East Parade, lately occupied by the devoted John Ely, now by Mr. Reynolds; the Wesleyan Association chapel in Lady-lane; the Cloth-hall, and News-room, and a few other public places came under notice. At a quarter before five I took my place in the train for Newcastle, and had for a companion Mr. Jonathan Ireland, of Manchester, who was going to Redcar. We passed Harrogate, Ripon, and numerous places of some note, on the Leeds Northern line, and I found myself at the beautiful station at Newcastle about twenty minutes past ten o'clock. I was met by brothers C. C. M'Kecknie and H. Phillips, who kindly came to escort me to my lodgings. I naturally felt some anxiety on entering a town so fearfully afflicted with the Asiatic cholera as Newcastle now was known to be, but tried to repose calm confidence in the providence of God who had all my life befriended me. I must admit, however, that when I saw the state the town was in, and heard of the alarming ravages the disease was making, I had quite enough to do to maintain my equanimity of mind. I was especially shocked when the brethren told me that my esteemed friends Mr. and Mrs. Scott with whom I had sojourned when in the town before, and at whose house I had been instructed I was again to stay, had that night been deposited in the same grave with each other, and their house was shut up, and that the friends generally had so much sickness in their families that I should have to stay at Mr. Wilck's, Temperance Hotel. Seeing the people in the streets with a covering on their mouths to prevent their inhaling noxious effluvia, and beholding the sadness depicted in every countenance, and learning that 100 per day were being cut off by the epidemic, and that the brethren had thought of sending me word by telegraph not to come to the town under existing circumstances, my nerves, not usually very faulty, somewhat shook, and my large family 155 miles from me, and various other claims binding one to earth, began to assume a specially impressive aspect. I had resource to one of the best possible sedatives and tonics, earnest prayer; and casting myself on him whose I am, and whom I serve, I was sustained under the shock, and saved from the slightest interruption in my health or duties. On the sabbath I preached at half-past ten and six o'clock, on behalf of the chapel trust, and both the congregations and collections were equal to our expectations. In the prayer meeting, and brother Charlton's class, after evening service, some souls were brought to God, to whom be glory evermore. (To be continued.) Our American Letter Bag. No. 1.-HOW DID CAMP MEETINGS ORIGINATE? The first camp meeting in this country was held in the year of our Lord 1799, on the banks of the Red River, in Kentucky. Two brothers by the name of M'Gee, one a Presbyterian, and the other a Methodist, being on a religious tour from Tennesee, Cries where the former was settled, to a place called the "Barrens," near Ohio, stopped at a settlement on the river to attend a sacramental occasion with the Rev. Mr. M'Greedy, a Presbyterian. John M'Gee, the Methodist, was invited to preach first, and did so with great liberty and power. His brother and the Rev. Mr. Hoye, followed him, with sermons of remarkable effect. The spirit was copiously poured forth upon the people, and produced tears of contrition and shouts of joy. The Rev. Messrs. M'Grundy, Hoye, and Rankins, all Presbyterians, left the house, but the M'Gee's were too powerfully affected themselves to flee, under circumstances of so much interest. John was expected to preach again; but when the time arrived, he arose and informed the people, that the overpowering nature of his feelings would not allow of his preaching, and exhorted them to surrender their hearts to God. and sobs were heard in every part of the house, and bespoke the deep emotion of the assembly. The excitement was indescribable. When the noise of this extraordinary movement reached the surrounding country, the people rushed to see what these things meant, for they had never heard of the like before. By this means the meeting-house was immediately overflowed. What could be done? The people were anxious to hear, and many were profoundly concerned about their souls. To resort to the field was hardly canonical, but there was a necessity laid upon them. It must be done, or the enquiring multitudes must go unfed. Reason prevailed, and an altar was erected unto the Lord in the forest. This gave a new impulse to public interest, and many came from every direction, with provisions and other necessaries for encampment, and remained several days, dwelling in tents. It was a wonderful occasion. Sectarian distinctions seemed to have been forgotten in the general concern for the prevalence of spiritual religion. The services were conducted by Presbyterians, Baptists, and Methodists, whose only rivalry was to glorify God, and serve the people. The result was unparalleled, and suggested another meeting of the kind, which was held on the Muddy River; and still another, on what was called the ridge, both of which were attended by immense throngs. By a prudent estimate, it was reckoned that one hundred souls were "added to the Lord," at the last named meeting, to say nothing of other benefits not less important. From this unpremeditated beginning these meetings were extended, increasing in power and usefulness, under the special direction of Presbyterians and Methodists. Because of their union of sects in their support, they were called "general camp meetings." But they were general in another sense-in the public interest taken in them. It is said, that the roads leading to the grove where they were held were literally crowded, and entire neighbourhoods were forsaken of their inhabitants. A Presbyterian minister calculated that there were at least twenty thousand persons present at one meeting held in Kentucky. But all did not go from religious considerations. Curiosity had a large agency in bringing out many. Some however, went to pray, and not a few to mock. But many of the latter were arrested by the strong arm of the Spirit, and returned to adorn the Christian profession, by well ordered lives. About three thousand at one meeting, fell upon the ground, like Saul of Tarsus, under the power of God, among whom were several Presbyterian ministers, who, according to their confession, had hitherto lived "without hope in the world." "The formal professor," says the report, "the deist, and the intemperate, met with one common lot, and confessed with equal candour, that they were destitute of the true knowledge of God, and strangers to the religion of Jesus." At length, however, the Presbyterians gradually retired from the field. But the Methodists seeing that God owned the means he had thus providentially originated, carried them into other parts of the country, till they became general in the connexion. AUTHOR of the "True Evangelist." No. 2.-METHODISM IN THE UNITED STATES.-The editor of Zion's Herald takes the following view of the progress of Methodism in this country. He says:-"American Methodism is not yet a century old. In the incredibly short space of eighty-seven years it has built four thousand two hundred and twenty churches, (which is a little less than one for every week and thirty thousand five hundred and seventy-one dollars. of her existence,) at a cost of fourteen millions seven hundred It has also erected and endowed its colleges and numerous academies with large sums. It has built innumerable parsonages, and supplied itself with Church and Sabbath School literature. Now, most of these churches, having been newly erected, re built, or re-modelled, and most of these vast outlays having been made within the last quarter of a century, we think it no exaggeration to estimate the expenditures of Methodism in the United States for home purposes at an average very little short of one million of dollars per annum for the last twenty-five years; in addition to that, it has paid for the support of its ministry." No. 3.-BIBLE MUSINGS.-I've been reading the Bible to-day, and it strikes me that our fore-MOTHERS were not very correct old ladies. Who flirted with the old serpent? How came Sampson's hair cut off and his peepers extinguished? Who perforated Jael's head with tenpenny nails? How came Jonah sent on a whaling voyage? Who helped Ananias to tell fibs? Who put Job up to swearing? Who raised a hurricane in good old Abram's house? Who danced John the Baptist's head off his shoulders, hey? I'd like to have you notice (that's all,) what a stock we all sprung from. If they weren't tee totally depraved, may I never find out which of 'em I descended from! They didn't seem to have the least consideration for future generations "long since unborn." Now I don't calculate, myself, to feel responsible for their capers. I've read somewhere, in Byron, I believe, that every wash tub must stand on its own pedestal! (or something like that.) I don't believe in saddling my shoulders with their old-fashioned transgressions. Curious, though, isn't it? the mischief women make in the world? Great pity Noah hadn't set Mrs. Noah adrift when he "took one of each kind in the ark." I should rather have stood my chance for a ducking, than to have been shut up with such a "promiskus" menagerie. Noah was a worthy old gentleman. No mention made of his getting tipsy but once, I believe.-F. F. No 4.-"LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE.-A single illustration, happily introduced into a sermon, will sometimes fasten itself on the mind of a person never to beforgotten. We remember a case in point. The substance of the the sermon in which it was introduced is forgotten; but the point to which we refer is permanent. We have thought of it a hundred times, in connection with religious consistency. The preacher referred to a light-house near New York, for illustration. The light, which is a revolving one, had ceased to move, by reason of some derangement in the machinery. As soon as the keeper discovered it, he ran to the proper position, and by manual labour kept steadily revolving the light, until weariness compelled him to call another to his assistance. Then another took his turn-and so during the live-long night, and the light kept its uniform revolution. A stranger, astonished at the solicitude of the keeper, inquired the cause. "Why," said he, "there may be a hundred seamen looking out from the darkness and storm below, to catch a glance at this light. If it move not, it will be mistaken for another, and, in their uncertainty and danger they may be shipwrecked." How many happy hearts passed over Broadway the next day, all unconscious of the danger to which they had been exposed, but for the faithfulness and consideration of that keeper of the light-house! Christian, the world is looking on you. You may not know -but you know the sea is stormy, and there are dangerous shoals to be avoided. Let your light give no uncertain gleaming on the gloom. Keep its motion uniform and continued! And when the day of eternity shall dawn, thousands may tread the streets of the New Jerusalem-who, but for the brightness and regularity of your light, might have made shipwreck of faith, and never moored in the harbour of eternal safety.-The Saturday Evening's Post. who are below in the darkness and storm of life's troubled sea Answers to Correspondents.

There was an old decanter, and its mouth was gaping wide! the rosy wine had ebbed away and left its crys- and the wind the wildest notes it blew. I placed it in the window where the blast was blowing free, and fancied that its pale mouth sang the querest notes to "They tell me puny conquerors! the plague has slain his ten, and war his hundred thousands of the very best of men; but I-"'twas thus the bottle spake "but I have conquered more than all your famous -conquerors, so feared and famed of yore. Come then, ye youths and maidens all, come drink from out my cup, the beverage that dulls the brain and burns the spirit up! that puts to shame the conquerors that slay their scores below; for he has deluged millions with the lava tide of woe. Though in the paths of battle, darkest waves of blood may roll; yet while I kill'd the body, I have damn'd the very soul. The cholera, the plague, the sword, such ruin never wrought, as I, in mirth or malice, on the innocent have brought. And still I breath upon them, and they shrink before my breath; and year by year my thousands tread the dismal road to Death." REVIEW.-G. STEWARD, ON METHODISM.
