THE HISINHERITiii. A GENTLEMAN said at the prayer-meeting at the Globe Hotel, that six months ago, as he was standing on the west bank of the Mississippi river, a band-bill was put into his hand, inviting him to attend a prayer-meeting in the city of New York. It was the Fulton street prayer-meeting. You can scarcely iinagine the influence of finch.a little-, event as that upon the teClings, debision, bout*, conduct, and eternal well= of an indivi dual. I was invited when one thousand miles away to attend a noon-day prayer-meeting. 1, a bukiness man in this great city of busi teas, where time is money—surely there must be something in the religion of these young men of business that amounts, to something like a reality. He said that on coming to the city, he complied 'with that invitation, which he had in his pocket, and intended to keep ; and he should always have reason to be thankful that he ever attended one of those meetings. He had been on further East, to the cities east'of us, and lie everywhere found ;the daily prayer-Meeting. He then went on to speak of revivals in places at the West. ire spoke of one in par ticular of great interest. In a neighbor hood where there was a large population, but no church, the 'people built a large -school house, and when it was finished, they resolved to hold union meetings for prayer. They were commenced, and were largely attended. And when all who came could not get in, they ivouid crowd around the Windows to hear. The Lord poured out his Spirit in great power, and many were converted. Living in the neighborhood of that school house was a very wealthy, proud, -infidel, ir religious man. Seine of his family were in clined to go to the prayer-meeting. He ca)led his family together, and told them that if kuy :of his family went`to that prayer-meeting and " got religion," as he called it, they were to be disinherited and banished from the house. 'lis wife was included with the children. She had been, and so had his eldest daughter, which put him in h rage. The daughter con tinued to go to the prayer-meeting, and soon fatted peace in believing in Jesus.. When an offportunitywas gilts* 'fOrt those Who 'had a hope in Christ to make it knowit—she meekly arose and- spoke .ofd the ",groat change" in her heart, and her humble hope's - z dtsalvation 'through a Crucified Saviour. There were those standing at the window outside, who immediately went and told the father of the young lady of An profession she had' made. When "ifie went some" , iltat night,, she met her father, standing in the doorway with a heavy quarto Bible in his armS. " Maria," igai4 htlYo 1'0W.t.9.1 41 ' that you have publicly professed to-night that you . have ' got religion. Is thit ?" " Father," said,the girl; " i :love you, and , I think I love the Saviour, too." Ile opened hie Bible to a blank leaf, and, pointing 'with his finger, he said. : ' " Mari% whose, name is that ?" " It is my name, sir." "Did I not tell you that I would disinherit you if yoU got religion?' -- " Yes, Sir." " Well, I mast do it. YOU Cannot come into my house.". And tearing the leaf out of the Bible—" There," 'said •". do I blot out your name from among my children. You can go." She went to the house of a pious widow lady in the neighborhood, and heard no more from her Sather for three weeks. _One 'morning she s'itiveber fathMi'l 'up to the door. She ran out and said to the driver, " What is the 'matter, James ?" " Your father is Very siek,,afid thinks he is going to die ; and he is'afraid he shall go to hell for his wickedness, and for the grievous *tiling he has done you in disinheriting you and 'turning you from his house. :He ;rants you to jump into the carriage, and come home its quick as possible. She found her father iick, sure enough, on home;geing but She soon saw he was 9nly sin sick. She talked with him ; she prayed with him she endeavored 'to lead him to Christ.

A TRAVELLER on our Western frontier one day entered a low-roofed cabin, in which he found but one occupant, a poor old woman. She was busy with her lonely cares, and scarcely noticed the stranger's arrival. He tried to attract her attention. He began to talk. He spoke of her house, her garden, her family, and neighbors. He sympathized with her infirmities, and the troubles of old age. He asked about her manner of life, and her history, and her early home. It was all in vain. His friendly words were wasted ; she was deaf to them all. At last he spoke of Jesus; and that name broke the spell. She turned to him suddenly—her wrinkled face beaming with pleasure._ "Jesus," she repeated; "do you know Jesus ? he is my only Friend 1 ." • All other names and other thoughts had faded from her dull brain ; bui between the King of the universe and the poor:old inmate of that hovel there was a tie of affection which no hardships of life nor in- firmities of age could break. That hinely creature had accepted the invitation of our Saviour, " Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy , laden, and I will give you rest." She had come to Christ. HoW did she do it-? She found that she needed a Saviour ; be cause she had sinned against 'God ; because she could not rid herself of hrer sin; because she could not change her ownhearti and becanSe, so long as it was not changed, she *akin danger of losing her soul ; for she had read in the word of God, " the wages of sin is death." She needed, therefore, the. help of One who could sage her frem sin. She wanted a Saviour, and here was just the one she want ed. She had never seen him to be sure ; but then she knew he loved her, and had given himself to die ter her, and now offered to be her. Redeemer. She rejoiced, to find such a refuge from her sins, and she accepted him with all her heart. She accepted him to be her own. Saviour ; and that - was "faith." She followed him, and obeyed him ; and the longer she obeyed, and followed him, the more sho loved him. The bond grew closer 'and firmer, as the clouds and trials of old age ga "thered around her. That name was dear when all other names were forgotten. "Whom having not seen, ye love.; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory."— Rev. J. S. Sewall. -1J ioriorlaittottli, OD'S HAND IN THE LIFE OF DR. KITTO. God's hand is seen in the lives of men. It is conspicuous in ,the chequered experience of Kitto. It is when we view his life in this ligherVelation, and see the land ol),Gothilt recting affairs sots ratikelliiiiikan agent of the 'greatest good to his fellow-men, that We are most impressed by his character. Mark Some of the incidents of his life. Consider, however, in the first 'place that such work as Kitt° performed, in the field of Biblical Science, was greatly needed at the time. It was comparatively a new field of mental effort, and the right man was needed for the work. God followed his usual plan, and went to the poor and humble for an in strument. John Kitto is compelled to leave his home on acconnt, of its poverty and wretchedness, that a pious grandmother might beget and foster a love of truth and learning in his heart. Ile must know, frOM bitter experience, what poverty is, that he may be content to do the work which the Lord has assigned him, for only his daily bread, and scarcely that; for this is all the world will give. He must not love social converse too mush, andhis mind must be dis posed to toil patiently..; and perseveringly up= on neglected subjects, to prepare , such works. as those of which ke became the anther. Many scholars cannot sufficiently abstract themselves from the world to perform this labor with' stecets. Perhaps Kitto will not do it. Ah, yes I Providence has provided the way. *The aged grandmother is madeill, i so that the lad is obliged to return to his fa ther's miserable aboote. 'There is Suelr pover ty there, too, that Kitto must aid his father, and, parry, tiles. to the top of a house,though he is small for the work. With a load, upon his back, he falls from: the roof upon the pavement below, and is made forever deaf. Now he is shut, out: from the world. He is compelled to retire within himself, and find his pleasure in *night. Perhaps -this calh mity was needed; in order to fit him for the close application necessary to perform his life-raisSion well. . Without it he might not have undertaken such a task. A deaf man is certainlythe'beat qualified, physically, for such patience-trying labor. But how shall he acquire an edcation rile must first be sent to the Poor-house. A " learned pauper" Will soon attract public notice. Soonhe !rill find henefactors, drawn to hink 'hy,,the novelty of his condition, Deaf nem -and pauper are two - words that will move the public mind.

His case was in Chart. < He is> obliged to write 'a statement of it. It is done with such ability that the Court is isurprised, forth it is told abroad that the poor, deaf pauper has •remarkable talents._ (Benefactors arise. He is taken from the Poor-honse, and placed, where he can enjoy intellectual ad vantages. Strange as it may seem, 'he 1 soon sent by his professed literary benefac tors to learn the art of dentistry. God meant thereby to fit him for the missionary field. Mr. Groves, the dentist, is a min of God, and•his influence brings Kitt° directly to the cross. Henceforth he only asks to be use ful. Then he goes to Islington,; to learn the art of printing, without timeOstudy, except that -which, he abstracts from the hours of sleep.

THE liiitgLlSK AS A,,ItONI*FiiiT, AN obelisk, or needle, 'is a Monument which` can lay claim to. no graceor beauty of its, own. It owes the interest and valne, which many obelisks undoubtedly possess in architectural `decoration, mainly to its posi tion' or collo - Cation With surrounding objects and, in an inferior degree, to its magnitude, its rarity, the hardness and durability of ma terial, -the difficulty of moving -and directing so large a block of sten% its cost, and, in the case of- the Egyptian obelisks at Rome and at Paris, to their - venerable antiquity and mystic inscriptions. It would be absurd to look. for idepl- beauty to the monuments of Egypt they are massive; material,`inititel lectual—the very reverse of the refined ele gance.of Greek art, or the capricious variety off medival faney. The great merit of the obelisk in certain positions is that of all mo numents, it approaches most nearly to a pure geometrical form ; it coincides with the point of sight; 'its sharp and angular character gives 'precision and effect to the centre of a circle, to the spina' or focus of an amphithe= atre,--tothe intersection of two or more lines of buildings or avenues, or to the termination -of them. Ai a terminal monument, the Egyp tian S—who are the real inventors of the obe lisk, and the only people who, employed them in pro i fusion---placed them, not singly r but in pairs. ' They marked imposing Manner the avenues, of approach to the great Egyp tian temples, and usually commemorated the names of the sovereigns by whom those tem ples were erected.. We are not aware' that in 'Egypt or elsewhere, in antiquity, obelisks were ever consecrated; to. the memory of the dead. In modern times, and in this country, monuments in the form of obelisks have some times been erected on hills ) asjandmarks to the country kind, or in honer of some re spected landed proprietor ; but theie hardly deserve to be noticed as public memiments, their only merit being that they are seen ever a vast extent of Country,, _,311, Egypt ;these 'monuments had, as 'we - ie 'alreitork remarked, the advantage of a boundless flat rekion, which singularly increased theifeffeet. The application of the Egyptian obelisk to the embellishment of cities, began with the Roman Emperors. Augustus brought two of these needles, 'from` HeliopolisßOW; The great obelisk now erected before the La teran, which is still 105 feet in height, and the largest known, was conveyed by Constan tine from Heliopolis to Alexandria, and by Constantine front Alexandria to Rome, where it stood in the Circus Maximus. The Vati can obelisk, the shaft of which measures 83 feet in length, was originally placed by Ca ligula in the Circus of Nero, very near the spot it still oceupies. Twelve of these menu- meats still exist in Rome. - . They were all thrown down by the brutality of the barba rians, or by the fanaticismofthe Christians, for, they.seemed to have been regarded with superstitious horror in the dark ages, from the necioniatitic symb6ls iniielibly, engraved upon them, Sixtus V. was the first of the Popes who undertook to exorcise the demon of the pillar, to consecrate it to an apostolic p atron, and (what was more difficult) to re store it to an erect position. Five hundred schemes, it is said, were tendered to.the Pont 'tiff, when it was known that he designed to set pup once Mere the obelisk of the Vatican. The engineer Fontana was charged with the miraculous work, as it was, then considered, and he has left us an interesting account of it. High mass Was perfortned - at St: Peter's;. the Pope `blessed the workinen, and it' was ordered that-no,one %hula speak during the operation upon pain of death—an order which iv,a f s' fortunately disobeyed by ''a cOnrageous spectator named Rasa, who called out at the Insist critical moment, " Wet the ropes." The Lateran and the‘Flaininian monuments Were ‘siabsequently also - raised by Siitia.v. and Fontana and:several others by his succes- Afs ; the -last `Was placed' on - the. Pincio in -11322; by Pius VII. To these examples' must -be added the removal of the obelisk of Luxor in 1833, by the "French, 'to =the ?lace de 'lip Pencorde.in ;wheie it interaCti'the ,great avenue-'of approach to. the 'Tuileries from the Arc de FEtoile. This obelisk is the `gblaller of the two ihicli.,l stood before the -propylaeum of the. Temple of Luxor, and the :shaft. is 76 feet high, and 8 feet widest the `base. '„ The interest which attaches to these obe lisks is, in great part, historical. They are Witnesses of an extinct World. They have survived the very language inse - nibed on them, .and the names they:were designed to-reveal are-an enigma and a mystery. It is impos sible to look e withontemotien even on a'stone which may tiaie been hewn before the Exedus nfthe Israelites, 'and which has been raised successively by the Pharaohs the 'O'Tsare and the Popes.--t-E4in,b2T.4llepiop. tH:gj f I t SBON . *MITHitrAiiE OF 1755.
