Auxiliary Colonization Society in Virginia.

" DEAR SIR,

"I hope ere long to be able to give you some encouraging information about the success of the colonizing plan in the neighbourhood where I reside. We have formed an Auxiliary Society here, and in a little time, and from a very few persons, have obtained subscriptions to the amount of four or five thousand dollars. We hope to double it at least. God grant it may be ten, yea, an hundred fold."

OBITUARY.

PAUL CUFFEE,

A very respectable man of colour, departed this life on the 7th instant, in the 59th year of his age, at Westport, (Massachusetts.) Industrious, temperate, and prudent, his means of acquiring property, small at first, were gradually increased; and the strict integrity of his conduct gained him numerous friends, to whom he never gave occasion to regret the confidence they had placed in him. His mercantile pursuits were generally successful. Blessed with competence if not with wealth, the enlarged benevolence of his mind was manifested in acts of charity to individuals, and in the promotion of objects of general utility, and more particularly in the deep interest which he felt for the welfare of his brethren of the African race. He was concerned not only to set them a good example by his own correct conduct; to admonish and counsel them against the vices and habits to which he found them most prone-but more extensively to promote their welfare. At considerable sacrifice of property he three times visited the colony of Sierra Leone, and after his first voyage thither went to England, where he was much noticed by the members of the African Institution, who conferred with him on the best means of extending the benefits of civilization to the people of Africa; and some of them have since expressed their satisfaction in his pious labours in the colony, believing them to have been productive of much usefulness to that settlement.

[ocr errors]

Grave, humble, and unassuming in his deportment, he was remarkable for great civility and sound discretion. Through several months of severe affliction, he was preserved in much Christian patience, fortitude, and resignation; feeling entire confidence in that grace which had been vouchsafed to him in life, and by which through faith and obedience, he felt a comfortable hope of admittance into peace and rest. He has left a widow and several children to lament the loss of an affectionate husband and parent.

Many of his neighbours and friends evinced their respect for his memory by attending his funeral, which was conducted agreeably to the usages of the Society of Friends, of which he was a member; and at which several lively testimonies were borne to the truth that the Almighty Parent has "made of one blood all the nations of men," and that " in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him."
