SWOPS FROM THE FOREIGN MIS SIONART FIELD. ' . THE GODS OP THE HINDOOS. JETt. 50, 38—" It is the land of , graven images, and they are mad'upon their idols.' The three chief deities of the undoes ore Brahma, the Creator ; Vishnu, the Preserver, and Shiva, the Destroyer. From these (as they supposel proceed three hun dred and sixty millions of gods and goddesses. True, worship is not rendered to all, but the sacred books introduce the entire troop, and a set of men who are learned in these wri tings go, two and two, through the country, place themselves under the shade of a tree, or in the court of a temple, or in a booth in the midst of the crowd attending one of the 'annual fairs, raise flags on high bamboo staves before them, adorned with, pictures taken from the history of these deities, and explain these pictures to the surrounding multitude in pleasing songs and strains of eloquence. But these stories of the gods are for the most part such abominable re citals of vice and crime, and the gods are represented as without exception such guilty criminals, that in any civilized country they would have been condemned to death ten times over. For example, Brahma is called the father of the gods ; yet among the Hin does he is so despised that not a temple is dedicated to him in the entire country. Such contempt he has already experienced, according to the stories, among his fellow deities, for his falsehood and his lewdness and excesses generally—he , was a liar, a drunkard, a thief and an adulterer. The deities which are most worshipped in the East Indies are, Vishnu, particularly in his two appearances on earth as Ram and as Krishna, also Shiva and his wife Kali or D ergs, and Juggurnaut. Images are made of them all. In the image of Shiva, every thing horrible is united. He has a threat ening look, he holds in `his hand a trident; his rube is a tiger skin; his necklace, a string of human heads ; his bracelets, wreaths of serpents. His wife has the same destroying, murderous character with himself. The blood of a tiger fills her with delight ten years long, but the blood of a man a thou sand years. If one of her worshippers opens his veins a little and offers her his blood she is frantic with joy. If he cuts off a piece of his own flesh and brings it a burnt offering to lier,'her delight exceeds description. She is the especial friend of robbers, thieves and murderers. Every band of robbers before :proceeding upon the particular errand it has in view appeals to her for success in their undertaking and makes her an offering. The offerings made to this terrible goddess are not only buffaloes and rams, but .even' yet, in spite of the prohibitiOns of the Eng lish government, human victims are continu ally slain in secret to her honor. A verse of the sacred books runs thus : "Let chiefs, statesmen, counsellors and innkeepers bring human offerings and they will become power ful and wealthy." PENANCE AMONG THE HINDOOS. IsA. 43: 24, 25—" Thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities. I, even lam he that blotteth out thy transgressions, for mine own sake and will not re member thy sins." Sin requires an atonement ; this the hli ndoos too feel. Among the Ifindoos the sacred characters called Fakirs seek to atone for their sins by self-inflicted sufferings and penances of the most dreadful kind. Some suFpend themselves in the air upon large hooks and freely undergo the most indescri bable torments, others cast themselves down from high, steep precipices, or look with un averted eye upon the blazing sun of mid day. Others again expect to pacify the incensed deity by measuring with their naked bodies, which they roll over the burn ing ifoilea Of sand, the distance from one idol .tetoge to another,often covering many Missionaty Leipoldt tells of a - Fakir who buried himself up to the neck in the earth so that the worms had begun to devour him. The King of Benares came to the place and begged him not to torment himself so much. And the saint said in his anger : " I curse you I" And when the king in turn begged Lim to withdraw the curse, he promised to do so on condition that he would have a wooden bed made for him with projecting nails in the bottom. The king complied with his wish and the saint stretched' him self upon the sharp-pointed nails and spent the last fourteen years of his life in that position. VOICE OF THE FORE'RTINItEit ON TUTUILA. Ise. 60: 9—" Surely the isles shall wait for me." Upon the return'Of the missionary Wil liams from England to the. South Sea Islands, he landed , first on the island of Tutuila, when a great assembly was held and short addresses made by the natives. An old chief rose up and told, how, many years pe fore, a chief in the neighboring village had prophesied that the worship of spirits would come to an end in Samoa, a great white chief would come from beyond the distant horizon . ; lie would overthrow their religion and all this would happen soon after his death. " That old man," he added, "died shortly' before the coming of the Lotu (Gospel) to our country," and pointing to Williams, *ho sat in the midst of the as sembly, he exclaimed with emphatic tones: "Behold—the propeecy is fulfilled ! He is the great white chieftain who has come over from beyond the distant horizon: this is the man who has overthrown the worship of spirits." ART THOU HE THAT SHOULD COME. MATT. 11: 3—" Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another." A young Siamese, who was in the habit of discussing questions pertaining to Chris tianity with the missionaries, Tonklin and Gutzlaff, related to them the following : in. his neighborhood, near Bangkok, lived a wise old man nearly eighty years old, who, some time previous, had told his neighbors that within six years the Saviour or Redeemer of his nation should come. At present, while their sins still burdened them, there was no rest for them. When he heard of the arrival (f the missionaries at Bangkok, he said: " these are the forerunners of him who is to come." Hence the missionaries understood the inquiry put to them by many Siamese : " Has Jesus come hither ?" (For the American Presbyterian.) UNFERMENTED BREAD. BY WM. M. CORNELL, M. D. This subjectuis not a new one to_ me. In 1848, in the " Journal of Health," then edi ted by me, (and years. before Hall's Journal existed) I published an article, with the ti tle of the present, from which I will copy the following : " It has long been a question with many, whether bread baked without fermentation is equally wholesome with that which has undergone this chemical process." Dr. Cullen. advocated the affirmative , side of this questton. He appealed, for truth of his position to the Scotch peasantry, and even their nobility, who subsist 1St - ply on unfermented cakes of oatmeal. Others have since advocated the same opinion. Dr. Thompson, a Lecturer on Practical Chemist ry, in the University of Ulasgow, Scotland," (now fourteen years since) has the following remarks upon this subject—" Judging a pri era, it does not seem evident that flour should become more wholesome by the destruction of one of its most important elements, or that the vesicular condition engendered by the evolution of carbonic acid from that source, should at once convert dough, (if it were unwholesome) into wholesome food. When a piece of dough is taken in the hand, being adhesive and closely pressed to gether, it feels heavy ; and, if swallowed in the raw condition, it would prove indigesti ble to the majority of individuals. This would from its compact nature, and, from tire absence, of that disintegrati6V of its particles which is the, primary step in di gation. But if the same dough were, sub jected to the elevated heat of a baker's oven, 4500, its relation to the digestive powers of the human stomach would. be changed ; because the water to which it owed its te nacity would be expelled, and the only ob stacle to its complete division and consequent subserviency to the solvent powers of the animal system wouldbe removed. This view of the case is fully borne out by "a reforence to the form in: which the flour of the various species of cereali a is employed as an article of food by different nations. By the peasantry of Scotland, barley bread oat-cakes, peas bread, or mixture of peas and bailey bread, potato-bread mixed with flour, are all very generally employed in an unfermented - form with an effect the reverse of injurious to health." Dr. Thompson's conclusion was, that six and a half per cent of the nutritive properties of the flour, by the common process of baking, that is, mix • ing by yeast, is driven into the air and lost. Allowin 30 millions of inhabitants to the United States,; and that they consume an nually a quantity of fermented bread equal to the product, of thirty million barrels of flour (an average of which is only five or six ounces a day to each individual,) and if we average, this flour at only five dollars a bar rel (and not as now, nearly double that) the loss in money by fermentation would be four million eighty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three dollars. So much for the money-matter of ferment ed bread, to which, whether we deserve it or not, as a nation we have the credit of giving attention. But, the matter of health,, on which,. I hesitate not - to give the opinion, as one who has practised medicine twenty years, is of greater moment than that of money. If the peasantry of Scotland, living, chiefly upon unfermented bread, and as healthy as Dr. Thompson has said they are ; if the He-c* brews do not suffer during their Passover, when they eat nothing but " unleavened cakes ;" if the skillful physician prescribes biscuit, unleavened, for the sick under his care ; if, as travelers informs us, the inhabi tants of Northern India and of Affghanistan line on unfermented bread, and are still healthy, then, surely, we have a strong.pre sumption that this kind of bread is not un healthy. In a practice of many years, in which, without boasting, I may say, I have had as large a number of epileptics, as any physi cian,- averaging fifty a year, I have found great benefit in treating such patients by confining them to a diat, chiefly of hard, un fermented bread, like sea-biscuit, and good mutton as the only , aniinal food. It is a curious fact in almost all the sci entific discoveries that have proved beneficial to man, they have been foreshadowed by some prospect of their utility, long before they have shown forth in their full splendor to bless the race. So, in this case, though Dr. Cullen, more than one hundred years ago, advocated the use of unfermented bread, and though Dr. Thompiilitfeas we have seen, twenty years since, showed both its health fulness and its economy ; yet, it was reserved for the present time, to make this bread upon anything like an extended scale, as is now done in most of our large cities, and at the corner of Broad and Buttonwood, in this city, by the Messrs. Potter, Camp & Bower. Mr. Camp has been here now some fifteen months, and has established the man ufacture of this bread upon a firm basis. Forty barrels of flour a day are now made into first-rate bread, without yeast, in the most cleanly manner, and, all done by the most perfect machinery. They arejust com mencing the manufacture of crackers, and, with their present facilities can work up from sixty to seventy barrels of flour a day into these nice biscuit. This firm now sup plies six U. S. Army Hospitals, the Penn sylvania Hospital, and the Lunatic Asylum of New Jersey, with bread. The writer has visited the establishment and knows what he. here states. It would do any one good to see how they make the bread. The _Ferments, are all poisons, not, indeed, of a deadly ekearac ter, especially as they are usually taken, in small quantities. .Our Oar best chemists „speak of them as a rotting proces. When fermen tation commences, a putrefactive process, also, commencees. It is, properly speak a nttt i ta it . - - .l,ll:xtoittiiiitiltH,a -. ..nAHH - tt, ~i ~..u , - - 4, va , .4.:1,ti0t ing, the vinous fermentation , ; and, this changes the saccharine property of the flour into aichohol. Thus the life or vitality, of the flour is dissipated or carried off as alcohol and carbonic acid gas. Lpurpose to speak, in a future paper, of medicines used for food,. and to show their deleterious effects. FAITH IN CHILDREN. Grown people should have more faith in, Mind more appreciation of, the statements and feelings of children. When I read, some months since, in a telegraphic dispatch, to one of our morning journals, from Biltimiire, if I remember rightly, of a mother who, in punishing a little boy for telling a lie—which, after all, it subsequently transpired that he did not tell—hit him with a light switch over his temple and killed him instantly—a, mere accident, of coirse, but yet a dreadful casul ty, which drove reason from the throne of the unhappy mother—when I read this, I thought of what had occurred iri my own sanctum only a week or two before; and the lessot which I received was a good one, and will remain with me forever. My little boy, a dark-eyed, ingenuous, and frankhearted child as ever breathed—though perhaps " I say it who ought not to say it"— still, I do say it—hid been playing about my table, on leaving which for a moment I found, on my return, that my long porcupine-quill handled pen was gone. I asked the little fellow what he had done with it. -• He an swered at once that he had not seen it. Af ter a renewed search for it I charged him; in the fate of his declaration 'with having taken and mislaid or lost it. He looked me earn estly in the face and said : "No, I didn't take it,-father. I then took him upon my, lap ; enlarged upon the heinousness-of telling an , untruth ; told him that I did not care .so Much about the`pen ; and, in short, by the manner in which I reasoned with him, almost offered him a re ward for the confession—the reward, be it understood, a dear one to him, of standing fT.rm in his father's love and regard. The tears:had welled up into bis eyes, and he seem ed about " to tell me the whole truth," when my eye caught the end of the pen protruding from a portfolio, where I myself had placed it, in returning a sheet of manuscript to one °Utile compartments. All this may seem a mere trifle to you—and perhaps it. is ; yet I shall remember it fora long time. THE EYES OF 'CHILDREN.' ::;' • Every one who has been much among chil dren and young people, ought to have learn ed one thing about them :—that they are keenly observant. Few things escape their notice. They are something like that mystic being spoken of by the Hebrew seer, and described by ,him as being "full of eyes." They watch us when we little think it. Peo ple sometimes fancy it an easy thing to de ceive the young. Alas ! they make a fearful blunder. It is easier to hoodwink adults than juveniles. One sometimes hears folk talk in an exceeding " knowing" and confident style about "getting on the blind side of children." But the fact is that it is not, after all, a very easy thing to find the said'" blind side," and often when we are deluding ourselves with the . notion that we have found it, lo ! there are a pair of large watchful eyes fixed on us all the while ? Rest assured, it is a danger ous thing to presume too much, on the ignor ance of the young. - piocellautoug. CONCILIATION. THE essence of all fine breeding is in the gift of conciliation. A man who possesses every;other title to our respect except that of courtesy, is in danger of forfeiting them all. A rude manner renders its owner always lia ble to affront. He is never Without dignity who avoids wounding the dignity of others. Plantagenet Pungent is an exceedingly clever roan; he has high birth, a great for tune, a character without stain. He divests himself of these attributes of command, and enters society as an epigrammatist looking round for a subject. He selects his butt, and lets fly his arrows; the bystanders laugh; but it is not a pleasurable laughter. Each man> feels that his turn may come next. Plantagenet Pungent has no doubt a social reputation for caustic wit; and for that very reason all his loftier claims to Consideration are ignored or grudged ; and once a week, at least, he provokes some rebuff which is hear tily enjoyed by the bystanders, whether they laugh openly or in their sleeves. If without provocation you strike a drayman in a crowd, though you be a prince of the blood royal, you, put yourself on his level ; and if the drayman thrash your royal highness, he will be the better man of the two. Scaliger Blunt is an eminent example of amore solid sort of obnoxious ability. .He Ira's prodigious learning and a still more pro digious memory, both of which he brings in to ruthless activity by the goad of a comba tive disposition. He takes a cruel joy in setting - everybody right. Are you a bashful man; talking in friendly whispers to your next neighbor at some crowded dinner-table? Scaliger Blount is sure to overhear you mis date- an event or misquote an authorlty. Pounce he descends on you across the table, drags your blunder into general notice, cor rects it with terrible precision, and flings it back to you where you sit, blushing with shame and rage, every eye riveted on your confusion ! Scaliger Blount is a universal contradictor. He spares neither age nor sex; the cloth itself has .no sanctity in his eyes. He would rather contradict a bishop than any other man, except an archbishop--es pecially if it be on a matter of theology or church discipline. As all opinions have two sides,, whatever side you take, he is sure to take the other; and his preeminent delight is in setting you down in your own.proper department, whatever that may be. Are you an artist, and venture a remark upon colour ing.? beware of Scaliger Blount. He knows all about colouring that man ever wrote on it, and you are sure to hear from him, "Sir, I disagree." Are you a lawyer, and, as you think, safely laying down the law to reveren tial listeners 4 ;beware of Scaliger Blount; he has the laws of all times, from Confucius to Lord St. Leonardo, at, his fingers ends, and woe to you when you see him knit his brows and exclaim, "I differ!" But though no one can deny the learning-of this heluo librorum, the common sense of the common interest unites all diners-out against conceding res pect to A. Instead of saying "Learned man," one says "insufferable savage." No body acknowledges as au‘authority him who arrogates authority over all. Each prudent host, in making up his cards for a dinner- party, pauses a moment at the name of Scull ger Blount, and shuffles this human cyclope dia, out of the pack, , muttering the decisive monosyllable, "Bore." But when Urban Frankland is in the so dal circle, every one ' recognises the enchan ter. His birth and fortune , are but those of a simple gentleman, yet lie has an influence denied to dukes. His knowledge is exten sive, but with him Rem are indeed Auman iores. His natural intellect is of the highest, but it is' reserved for fitting time and occa sion. That which distinguishes him in socie ty it charm, and"the secret of that charm is a manly suavity. He has no pretensions to the artificial elegance which Lord Chester field commends to his votaries; he has no gallant compliments for the ladies, with whom he is not the less a favorite ; he has a cordial laugh, but it is never 'beard' at the expense of others. Malevolence gains no hearing against him. The love that he wins for his gentler qualities, begets a reverence for his higher tones. Of all the men I ever knew, none more securely get their own, way— none have so kingly an authority over those with whom they live. And I suspect the main reason ,to be this, that every one's self-love is so secure of a wound from him that it identifies its own protection with his pre-eminence : And yet I know no man more truthful Indeed, is a.maxim of his, that "Where there is no 'candour there can be no conciliation." " Sincerity," says Til lotson, "is an excellent instrument for the speedy despatch of business." Certainly, as faith and charity should go together, so we should never, 'Care much fora man's mild= ness if we had not a thorough belief in his honor , nor accept'as a mediator or peacema ker him whom we 'did know to have such re verence for honor in, the abstract, that he would never persuade us to dishonourable concessions, whether he were employed for or against us. The wisdom of conciliation is visible even in literature. The writers' 'who please us most, to whom we return the most often, are the writers who create agreeable sensations ; and certainly foremost amongst agreeable sensations are those which reconcile us to life and humanity. It requires but a small comparative exertion of talent in a writer who smooths down: the natural grain of the heart, to that which is required in one who rubs it all the wrong way: Hence the uni versal charm 'of Horaceilience our delight in the kindly laugh of 'Cervantes, and the good-tempered smile of Le ; Sage; hence the enviable immortality, of Addison and Gold smith. Certainly none of these writers, spare our follies or our errors ; they , are sufficient ly frank and plain-spoken,, but they do not revile and libel us. They have this charac ter in common—they treat, the reader as a friend and brother.; they conciliate our sym pathies even where . they expose our infirmi ties. In all , things, from the 'greatest to the least, he who consults the wisdom of conciliation will find his account in it. If he covet pow er. there is no surer secret first to win and then to secure it ; if he desire that respect which is given to dignity of character, he will find that the consideration he bestows on others is an investment which yields the largest return in consideration` towards him self. As to tbs. elements of happiness which are found in a tempei "that seeks peace wherever peace can be made with honor, they are too. obvious_ to_need comment.---But -20 Cr in. Blackwoocrsiragßine. CURIOUS FACTS. A writer in the Philadelphia North Ameri can says : Mr. Hubbell, the well-known apothecary of Philadelphia, was experimenting upon dif ferent colored glass, with a view to finding the tint that would 'best prevent chemical change in substances contained - in the jars and bottles made from it. This was four years ago. He applied the test to African peppers. These peppers are bright .vermillion in color, with a surface as beautiful as coral. They are as hot as a dozen American grown peppers concentrated into one. He filled with them two jars, one of white glass, the other.of bluishgreen, made to his order. The :peppers in the white jar underwent a change, and after two years, though the vessel was hermetically sealed, were filled with minute worms. No ordinary vermin could exist among , African peppers. Opening_ the jar -a short time since, there was nothing left but odorless pOwder, utterly void of pungency. composed of the dead and dried worms and the worthless debris of the pep peri. The contents of the other jar were as sound and as bright as on the day when first, deposited. We were also shown a tin can of sambow, a medicinal root, in thick slices, brought from Siberia. It had arrived sound, but not being iminediately used, had become full of little purple insects, unlike to any thing hereabouts to be seen. The germ of thoSe insects must have existed when it was dug up by the Rus sian exiles in- the high latitude from which it came. If not, why not? Be this as it may, the fact is worth knowing, that greenish-blue neutralizes the chemical agency of light, Wand entirely prevents the efflorescence of chemical salts, and the deterioration of quality in ar ticles kept in bottles of that color. `, TAMMY, OF THE JAPANESE EMBASY. The Rev. S. W. Bonney l one of the mis sionaries of the American Board in China, during the last summer, visited Yedo, the capital of Japan. Writing from there under the date of August 15th, he gives the follow ing interesting account of a young man who, it will.be recollected, created quite a sensa tion in this country, two or three years since 7. When the Japanese Ambagsaclors visited the United States in 1860, there was an at tache of the Embassy who went by the name of Tommy,' but whose real name is 0 naj e-ro.

"For twelve years, I had the yellow Erysipelas on My right arm', during which time I tried all the cele brated physicians I could reach, and took hundreds of dollars worth of medicines. The ulcers were so bad that the cords became visible, and the doctors decided that my arm mustbe amputated. I began taking your SARSAPARILLA. Took two bottles, and sorno of your Plus.

" only child, about three years of age, was at tacked by primples on his forehead. They rapidly spread until they formed a loathsome and virulent sore, which covered his face s and actually blinded his eyes for some days. A. skilful physician applied nitrate of silver and other remedies, without any apparent effect. For fifteen days we guarded his hands, lest with them he should , tear open the festering and cor rupt wound which covered his whole face. Having tried every thing else we had any hope from, we began giving your SARSAPARILLA, and applying the iodide of potash lotion, as you direct. The sore, began to heal when we had given the first bottle, and was well when we had finished the second. The child's eyelashes, which had come ont, grew again and he is now as healthy and fair as any other. The whole neighbor hood predicted that the child must die."
