The Gazette office is connected with tho Telephone Exchange Advertisements, or i for the paper, news or any information or business can sent by telephone. at the Postoffico Alexandria, Virgin? ia, as second-class John Randolph's Faith. Tho following letter was written by John Randolph, of Roanoke, to half brother, Judge Hemy St.

George Tuck? er, evidently upon the loss by the latter of a sou: May He who has tho power, and al? ways the will, when earnestly, humbly ami devoutly entreated, support and comfort you, my brother I shall uoi point to you the treasures that remain to you in surviving children and their mother, dearer than all these put together. No have felt too deeply how little power have words that play round the head to reach the heart when i'. is sorely wounded. The commonplaces of consolation are at the tongue's end of all the self-complacent and satisfied, from the pedant priest to the washerwoman. (They who den't feel can talk.) I abjure them all.

The father of Lord Russell, when con? doled with according to form, by the book, said. "I would not give my dead son for any other man's living." May this thought come to your bosom, too; but not ou the same occasion tue spirit of God, which not the chimera of heated brains nor a device of artful men to frighten and cajole the credu? lous, but is as much an existence that can be felt and understood as the whis? perings ul your own heart, or the love you to him that you have lie Spirit, which is the comforter, shed His iufluence upon your soul and in? cline your heart and understanding to tbe only right way, which is thai ol life eternal! Did you ever road Bishop Butler's Analogy If not 1 will send it to you. Have you read the Hooky What I say upon this subject 1 not only believe, but 1 know to be the Bible studied with an humble and contrite heart, never yet failed to do its work, (von with those who from idiosyncrasy or disordered minds have com i iveel thai they were cut off from its promises of life to come. and ye shall receive; seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall he opened unto you." This was my only support and stay during years of mis? ery and darkness and just as I had al? most begun to despair, after more than ten yeais of penitence and prayer, il plenst God to enable me to see the truth, to which until then my eyes had been sealed. To this vouchsafement I have made the most ungrateful returns.

But I would not give up my slender por? tion of the Drice paid for our redemption my orother, our ran; om of sinners, of all who do not hug their chains and refuse to come out from the house of say that I would not exchange my little portion in the Son of David for the power and of the Paithian or Roman em? pires, as described by Milton in the tc nptation of our Lord and Saviour, not for all with which the enemy tempted the Saviour of man. is the secret of the change of my which all who know me must 'nave vrd within a few years past. After years spent in humble and eon trite entreaty that the tremendous sac riiice on Mount Calvary might not have been made in vain forme, the chiefest of sinners, it pleased I rod to speak peace to my peace of God which pt' eth all understanding to them that know it not, and even to them that do. And although 1 have now, as then, do reproach myself with time misspent and faculties misemployed; although my condition has on more, than one occasion resembled that of him who, having one snirit cost out, wns taken possession of by seven oilier spirits more wick-d than the Rut, and the first also yet I trust that they, too, by the power and mercy of God, may be, if they are not, vanquished. But where am i running to? On this subject more hereafter.

Meanwhile, assure yourself of what is of small value compared with that of those who aie a piece of the unchanged re? gard and sympathy of your mother's son. Ah! my God I remember to have seen her die have followed her to the Rfa? have wondered that the suit continued to ri-e and set and the order of nature go on. Ignorant of true religion, ou: not yet an atheist, I remember with borror my impious expostulates with God upon this be? reavement "but not yet ah atheist." The of atheism has been denied but I was an one Hume began and Hobbs finished me. I read Spinoza and all the tribe. Surely I fell by no ignoble hand.

And the very man who gave me Hume's "Essay Upon Human Nature" to read, administered "Beattie Upon Truth" ps the treacle against ar? senic and the essential oii of bitter almonds, a bread-and-milk poultice for the bite of the cobra capello. Had I emained a successful political leader 1 might never have been Chris? tian. But it pleased God that mv pride should be mortified tthat by deata and desertion I should lose my friends; that, except in the veins of a maniac, I and he. too. possessed "of a child by a deaf and dumb spirit." there should not run one drop of my father's blood iu any living creature besides myself.

The iic-f th of Tudor finished my humiliation. had tried all things but the refuge to Cbiist, and to that with parental stripes was I driven. Often did I cry out with the father ofthat wretched hoy. "Lord! I Thou mine and the gracious mercy of ou- Loid to this wavering faith, staggering under the force of the hard heart of unbelief, I I humbly honed would in His good I time 1 extended to me also. Mark, 17-29.

Throw Revelation aside and I can drive any man by irresistible indue Lion I to atheism. John Marshall could not resist me. When I say man I mean a man capable of logical and consequen? tial reasoning. Deism is the refuge of those that startle, at atheism and can't believe Revelation; and (may God have forgiven us both) and myself used with Diderot cc Co. to laugh at the deistical bigots who must have milk, not being able to digest meat.

All theism is derived from Rev I of the laws confessedly. Our own is from the same is the false revelation of Mahomet: and I can't much blame the Turks for con? sidering the Franks and Greeks to be idolators. Every other idea of one God that floats in the world is derived from the tradition of the sons of Xoah handed down to their prosperity. But enough, and more than enough; 1 can scarcely guide my peu. I will, however, add that no lukewarm seeker ever became a real Christian; for "from days of John the Baptist until now Kingdom of Heaven sulfereth vio? lence and the violent take it by force" a text which I read five hundred limes before 1 had the slightest conception of its true application.
