The importance of connecting moral with in tellectual culture in youth, and the necessity of introducing and using the liiblo in schools for that purposo, are universally conceded by the Christian educator and patron. The best method or must efficient manner, however, ol using the Scriptures, is by no means agreed upon, as the diversity of modes show and it is to this subject that I would respectful ly and briefly cull attention. The proposition, as to wbclher tlio iiiblc should bo reguluily in troduced in schools, studied, and recited, during the daily sessions, as arithmetic, is not the sub ject prupoMd—but it is the manner oi using it in the opening exercises every morning. I shall present four methods, from which I hope the y< ung teacher may derive some valua ble hints, suggestive of variety, if nothing move, as the teacher may use them, in alternate suc cession—or interchangeably adapt the mode to tho occasion. I. HEATING BY THE TEACHER. ' Every morning, sn soon as the time for open ing arrives and tho pupils aw in their places, tho teacher reads a chapter or portion of ierip ture, without comment. Ho may begin with tho Old or Now Testament, and, chapter by chapter, read it regult.rly through. This is the common method, of but little trouble, nnd, I have sometimes thought, of little value. Un less the. teacher possess tho rare gift of an at tractive and fascinating elocution, in reading, ho will soou havo an inattentive, listless audi ence, the whole exercise degenerating into a mere mechanioal performance. 11. SELECT READING AND EXPOSITIONS BT TIIK TEACHER. , This consist." in tho selection, reading, and ex position of such chapter, text, or passage, as tho teachor may think most appropriate and instructive. Tho exposition is a familiar expla nation of such points or pat .- ages as ho may | think most instructive. This method is more I efficient than the first, and a little tact and in i genuity on tho part of tho loachf r, will onublo ' him to command tho attention of tho school. — pi'liis is an excellent plan, provided there exists no suspicion of sectarianism against the teacher. It is thought to afford the teacher, if he i 3 so disposed, an excellent opportunity of propaga ting his peculiar sentiments among his pupils. It is admirably adapted to sectarian schools, and to any school, if the teacher is prudent in the use of it. 111. READING DT THE PCPILS. Ibis method requires each pupil to have a Bible, and tho whole school to read, beginning with u chapter, each reading a verse, till ail have read, and so on through tlie chapter or les son. Ibis, however, bus but little more value thai a common reading exercise. But few of the pupils take interest enough in it to know, evcil what chapter COUJCS next, or was read iast. 'lkeJ realize not tho momentous import of the ! words of eternal life, and may not the pradN ■ cal effects of such an exercise create a criminal. indifference to the Divine teachings, is u qucs-.! lion for prayerful consideration. j IV. RECITATION HY THE runts.— A lecture by the Teacher. This method consi.-ts in requiring the whole' school, or a ccc ic-u of it, embracing not less l than twenty, to make voluntary selections of such texts, verses or paragraphs us they may choose, memorizing them perfectly, and reciting j every mo ruing as a class. The sections may be 1 increased or diminished, in number to suit the , [ size 01 tha school. If there he two sections,: let each recite every other day, and if three,; evesy third day, &o. Each pupil should select j such a verso or number of verses as will state i soma truth or proposition, or make good sense, ; and the Game pupil ought not to be allowed to : repeat the same scripture in two different reci talons. IDO teachor's lecture, only a few mii utes long, follows the recitation, and is designed j to give*nn extempore, practical exposition of! such of the scriptures recited, as the teacher may choose, and apply tlicra to tho conduet of every-day life. io illustrate: Suppose in the recitation, the following scriptures have beeu given by two of the pupiis; "Enter not info the path of -the wicked, and go not into the way cf evil men." i "A false witness shall not go unpunished, and ] he tli'it tel!?tli lies shall polish. 0 'I lie first of these passages will afford the teacher a text, and an om"wr<-v>-0pv.0;..f , ! from them the ilirffffl hdsehood, ntid warn them a-, gainst lying. In this way the teachings of the | liible are so interwoven with the daily labor ot j the pupils, and so applied to the solutions of the j various problems that may come up in their con duct, as to supersede the necessity of what the master of the "llircli" and his "feruled" sub jects were wont to call the "Rules of School." The influence c this exercise when properly conducted, in tho formation of character and j conduct of life, cannot, be over-estimated. 'Dur ing u common pupilage, tho mind is lillod with the most beautiful and instructive passages Lorn the word of God. They warn us against eve ry vice and inculcate every virtue. If the snares ot" vicious soci sty are set in our pathway, we hear tho warning, "Enter not into tho path of the wicked," and we shun them. If the temp tations of falsehood are upon us, we remember that "lie that telleth lies shall perish," and we resist tliein. The fourth article, thus briefly described, is my favorite one. I have use Jit for many years, with unflagging interest. It involves the labor of botii teacher and pupil. My advanced pu pils generally took great interest in the exercise. Among them existed n generous emulation, as to who should select the urnst sublime and beau tiful passages, and I have often been touched \< ith their impressive elocution. With a becom ing distrust of the correctness of my own judg ment and experience, I respectfully submit what I hrivu said to the attention of teachers and pa trons. — 12D. MONTHLY. THE CHURCH AND THE WAR. j Doubtless the great conservative element in a ; democratic country is a pure religion. But that religion can never remain pure when it is j prostitulod to political purposes. Its mission : is to the heart of the individual person, and j not to ihe collective.body politic. Its conger- 1 rativa and purifying influence must be effectual i if nt all, on single men and womon, tho result- j ing effect being on tho public in test its through [ those individuals. In all countries; when men' kavo brought tho church into the strifes of ra tions or of parties, the effect has been not only j to injure or debase tho church but also to des troy its importance for good over the hearts of | individuals. When it becomes a machine for i political effect, it ceases to have power for inor- j al good. It makes no difference whether the j cause it espouses bo tho right or tho wrong , cause. The result on the church is always the j same, and always bad. The clergy, as individuals have not only a I right, but are under an obligation to duly as. citizens. Their right to political opinions and political preference is an unquestionable right- ] At tho same time, tho exercising that right, they arc bound to bo exceedingly cautious tiiat they do not attempt to use their holy profession for political purposes. They are made men with duties as raon, citizens with duties as cit izens; hut the ministry which is entrusted to them by their Master is not subjoct to their own whims and caprices, nor have they right to use it for any other purposes than that which is stated in their commission—tho delivery of a message to man from God i tho preaching of a gospel, not to nations or governments, which are things of an hour, but to tlie soul of twin, 1 )vhich are to outlast the evanccsccnt dynasties ' which men devise. It Is impossible for a right-thinking man to avoid a sensation of pain, and perhaps a deeper emotion, '..hen ho bears a ofergyui-n rcklessly ] degrade his character and mission b, making it j other than God has made it. Hie danger of ! this bai always heea recognized, aud therefore WHOLE NUMBER; 3007 VOL. 7, NO 30. • I in all civilized countries, and ova in barbarous J countries there has been a uniform practice of j exempting clergymen from soma duties which • : "tight lead to an iufermingling of the. two char* 1 j actors, the clergyman and tha citizen, so as to ' j deluse the influence of the former to the level iof the latter. The clergy for example, have I bcßn cxemnt from military duty, and in some i I countries have been debarred from-holding civil ; ; office. The latter provision has not tnct with i! general approval. Tha former has always been • | regarded as necessary to the purity of religion [ i in nil nations, until tfie radicalism of our own ; country abolished the exemption and broke down l this important wall between religion and poli-! j tle3. This was doubtless the result of th<* ab- j I oiition efforts which for years declared that the ' ■ accomplishment of its designs could only be I achieved "ovor tho fains of the /American Church ■i and the American Union" tho attack of tin? iti | 'idol forces was directed as against the church i I a* against the Union, and it is to bo feared that I they have succeeded in doing almost as great in i jury to one as to tho other, i The war meeting at Cooper Institute, was lin the main, n'great success. The arrangements . were made without distinction of political par ; both Democrats and Republicans join | cd in it heartily, sinking minor differences.— , ell-known Democratic and Republican spsak : ers addressed the meeting iu patriotic speech : es saying nothing to offend or rouso the feelings J ; of men of opposite views to the measures of i 1 the war. Rev. Jlr. Trumbull, "an army chap ! lain whoso service and sufferings entitled l im to speau for tho information of the meeting, made an impressive address. But the proceed- , iugs were utarred by an iiltiraed address from : a clergyman whose allusions to the sacred scrip- , hires were littlo else than blasphemous, certain- j , ly foolish and calculated to do no good. He > f i seemed to desire to create the impression that' I la?, people of the South are unlit to bo members ' ol our body politic, whilst we are pouring out j our blood and treasure to compel them to bo i such. VVith a boy's fooliahniiess he thought to i to make a good point l>y telling his hearers I that Judas was the ouly apostle borne in South- I era Palestine, forgetting that the Lord himself, tra'uens of existing things with U3 which souto of theui occasionally seek in Holy Writ, are not calculated to do good, but rather to do evil. The treason of Judas is vastly too solemn a story to be cited even in a war meeting for the purposes of rousing hatred anil indignation a gaiiiat a ch.ss of people, and the aid winch suou citations afford to the uten who would bring re ligion into disrespect is great. It is not acces sary, nor is it desirable for the public good, that men should bo called on to address war meet ings, who drew their illustrations from those, high and holy subjects which belong solely to I the relations of man to his God Let the church I j be preserved from the dangerous attempt to I J make it a part of human political machinery, | j however valuable its influence may seem to bo for human ends.

MiVOI.TIXO CANTBAI.ISM. ▼ [From the Victoria Colonist, Dec.. 15.] From Mr. John Qiscomc, just returned from a prospecting tour from the mouth of Qucsnelle to a distance of 330 miles east of tho Rocky Mountains, wc have the following horrible do tails of the fate of the portion of a party of Canadians who attempted to cross overland to Cariboo, an incomplete account of which ap peared in Tho Colonist of July 11: While Wintering at Fort Georgo about tho sth December, 1802, two brothers named Gil bert and Thomas Ronnie, arrived nt the Fort in a very weak state from cold and want of food. Thomas Ronnie had his feet frost litten. They reported that they had got on a rock above Fort George and h nl left three of their party behind in a feeble state, with only ten days provisions, adding their lielief that they were dead by that time, as tho two brothers h id taken 28 days to reach the Foil. Mr. Charles judged, from their description, that tho accident had takon place about 90 miles up. He. therefore, dispatched two Indians, in search, but they returned afur a few hours absence, stating that tho weather i was too*evoro to attempt it. On the Ist of January tho two Kennies came to Giscome's cabin nr.d whilo there four Indians arrived. • One of thoßcnnios who spuko French inquired of tho Indians if they had seen or heard of the missing men. Tlioy replied that they had not come by the way of the Frazor, but byja nearer route. On the following day the Indians left tho fort,.professing to return to the lake they had come from. Mr. Giscorae, however subsequently learnt from other Indiana that at a certain point two of the ludiaus went up tho river seeking for the unfortunate men, whom they succeeded in linding. Two of them (believed to be Holstone nnd Wright) were still alive, but had killed William Ronnie (brother to Gilbert and Thomas) and had eaten all but his legs, which they held in their hands when found nnd were tearing the raw flesh from tho bones. The Indians were going to light a fire for them when tho two mon drcSw theif pistols and the Indians fled, but did not return to give informa tion at iho Fort. This news did aot reacli the fort until March, and the two Konuies, who had become discontented with their f.ito at Fort George (which was the very best to be had), left at the end of January. When Mr. Giseoine was about to suirt on his prospecting tour in April, Mr. Charles told i him th it iron information his wife had procured 1 from tue Indian-, he was airaal the I'.iuia.rs had ' murdered tho hut survivor, and requested Gi* 0n,,-,.,,. 3 MOUTHS. 6 MONTHS. 1 ft** TV q $3 00 * 4 00 M0 Twosquares .• 400 g O O 9 three squares 500 700 19 I nm o 000 900.15 00 f umn 800 12 00 20 I. i | Column 12 CO 18 CO 30 90 unCo!una n ...... is 00 30 CO 50 00 Administrators'and Executors' notices $2.50, Au ditors notices $1.50. if order 10 lines. $2.00 if eY'aV ? n i. # " < l' ,are an 4 I'" thin 20 liues.

On reaching tiio mouth ot Salmon nver, and finding it high, the guida displayed great reluctance in taking the routa which led to tiio spot, but upon being well paid he consented to go. GUcome found tho camp about fifty miles above Fort George, with tho remains of two men, but the third was miss ng.—Their canoe was still lying close by, but blankets and everything else worth removing had !>eon carried off by the Indians. Inside the camp, in one corner, there lay a small pile of bones, carefuliy packed together; am on" t 'em was the skull of 41 young man, (supposed to bo Vim. Ifennie,) with the whole ot tho lower jaw and a row of good teeth still He also found the skull of an older man which had eight prints of an ax upon it, where it had evidently been chopped open. Soma of ths bones were still bloody, and were half chewed at fhs ends. Out sido-ef tho camp he found a patch of Ifennie's hair still adhering to a piece of thin. Giscorao and his companions collected the bones, dug 1 grave nad buried them, leaving a written notice in case tho spot should b8 viet ited by any other persons. Subsequently, on Mm first lake after leaving the braxer, Air. Giscomc was engaged in writing | a few notes of what he had seen toMr. Charles, I when the Indians who had assisted in packing I over the portage, became vexed, and declared he was writing to say that they had murdered tho last man. Giscome appeased them, when j one of the number said he know where the third . man could be found. He was lying three or four hundred yards from the camp, over a rise, stripped of h.s clothes, and several cuts of a hatchet on his hend and body. He premised to bury his body on his way back, and from subsequent information cur informant has reason to believe that he did so. : At an Indian camp on the first lake, Giseomo j Fan- a small bible with a photograph of a young lady in it, but no name to indicate which of the I party it belonged to, also two axes, a spv glass j and some camp utensil?, which the Indians saitf. they had removed from the camp, but they would not disclose anything with reference to this.

It is not known whether they did 60 or not, but that geniicu.r has in his possession some of what is supposed to ha young Renniok; hair, and al"0 some shoe maker's tools belonging to one of the Heor.ies which be was desired by Mr. G:come to give I !o the brothers if lie should ever hoar of them. Among other things ehotvn by tha Indians on | the first lake, was young Ronnie's coat, which had nine holes in the back and ono under tho right arm apparently made with a knife. They I said they had.found it just asit was in tho camp, i From tho statemnts of the Indians and por -1 sonal inspection made by Mr. Giscomo and his ! companions, ho cams to the painful conclusion that the poor men had been reduced by starva li >n and cold to tho last extremities, and had actually killed and or,ten ono another. There were no signs of fires having been lit or wood cut, and yet they must have existed for about ten week; the longest liver having to ail ap pearances rntiered a cruel death at the hands of tho Indians for of plunder.
