THE CHURCH IN THE SALINES.

About six miles above Charleston, in the midst of the celebrated
salt-works, there is a considerable population and several churches.
One of them belongs to the Episcopalians. When I was last there,
it had been deserted for a time on account of its bad construction,
with a view either to its repair or the building of another. The

minister at Charleston gives a portion of his time and labours to
this place.
