Genuine F„ehgioii.
How beautiful is that religion which
teaches me to love Go J above all things
and my neighbor as myself! Religion is
benevolence, and benevolence includes ev
ery virtue. The benevolent cannot be un
charitable, cannot be unfaithful, cannot be
j censorious, cannot be impure in act cr
thought, cannot be selfish; they love God
and their neighbors, and they do as they
would be d one by. But who is religious ?
who is benevolent? who is at all times pure
i in thought or deed? who is at all Mines tree
1 from c-ensoriousiiess, from uncharitable
-1 iic.-s ? None. No, not one. The pre
i cepts taught us as those ou whisk ' hang
all the law and the prophets,' the lore of
j (it nl and the lore of t'nij neighbor, may be
f iniMessed upon the heart and have the
whole undivided assent of the understand
ing; while the mind is in this state, the in
dividual is religious. Hut the cares of the
world and their jarring collisions most ait
times occupy the thoughts, and divert the
mind from this wholesome state. The pas
sions which have been cherished by bad
education —the indulgences that have be
come habitual before the beauty ol wisdom
was perceived by the thousand and ten
thousand occurrences which tempt the rich
to uncharitableness, and the poor to envy
and malice, all by turns, banish the truth
from the mind. This has led men to the
desert and to the monastery; to become
hermits and monks ; forgetting that religion
requires to do as well as to suffer. Truth
becomes effective by frequent contempla
tion; and the habitual recurrence of its
precepts induces practice.
Read Good Books.
Look at the influence on the mind, of
books of a bad character; see how they
taint and pollute it! A respectable lady,
in fits of derangement, sang some indeli
cate songs. When told of it afterwards,
when in her right mind, she said she heard
them when less than four years old.—
What, then, would be the impression that
an impure volume would make upon the
young and tender mind ? Would it be one
easily eradicated ? Would it not rather re
main as if written with a pen of iron upon
the susceptible heart, and exert its pollut
ing influence to a greater or less extent
through life? Many very pious people
have had a sore trial in contending with
the defiling influence occasioned by read
ing improper books in former years.
l>y reading books of a good character,
such as exert a salutary and beneficial in
fluence, the ground will be occupied, and
there will be no room for the poison and
trash which surfeit and kill. Give child-
rcn good books, written in a lively and in
teresting manner, and they will be so ta
ken up with them as to have no desire for
unwholesome reading. The ground will
be occupied with something better. There
is no room for the bad. Fill a measure
with wheat, and there is no room to throw
in chaff.
The reading of good books exerts a con
servative influence in after life. Not only
is the ground pre occupied, and the young
kept from the baneful eft'ects of improper
reading while they are young, but the in
fluence in the w hole course of life will be
conservative. In many hours of fearful
temptation, the truths which were instilled
into the mind by early reading have prov
ed a life-preserver to the struggler. Here
is a man exposed, from the force of circum
stances, to a very serious temptation, and
he is just about to yield, but at that mo
ment he remembers the history of a man
similarly placed, which he read about in a
good book when a child, and that only en
ables him to resist and finally gain a con
quest over the temptation.
Reading of good books is the means of
spiritual good in many cases. Can any
one doubt that Bunyan's inimitable work
has made impressions upon the tender mind
of childhood which were never worn off,
and which resulted in sincere, lasting con
version to God ? The great William il
berforce said, ' I had rather go to render
my account at the last day, carrying off
with me the little narrative of ' The Shep
herd of Salisbury plain,' than bearing the
load of the volumes of Soott, fid 1 as they
arc of genius.' Why? Because the little
volume was the means of the salvation of
souls out bcott's novels never were.—
Many now eminent in the religious world
affirm that their first serious convictions
arose from, reading goed becks-. 1 fa/</.•-

! MIEEEMMEOiQI,
Barnes on the Sale of Intoxicating
Liquors.
[Below we publish, by request, a couple of
ox-tracts iroin an arguiucnt put forth by
licv. Barnes, of Philadelphia, on the traffic
in ardent spirits.—Ktl.]
1. It is an employment which tends to
counteract the desi/jn of the eery organi
j -.ation <f noddy. Society is organized on
j a benevolent principle. The structure of
that organization is one of the best adapt
ed instances of design, and of benevo
lence, anywhere to be found. It is on this
j piinctipla that a lawful employment—an
employment fitted to produce subsistence
for a tuan and his family, will not inter
fere with the rights and happiness of oth
ers. It may be pursued without violating
an}' of their rights, or infringing their
happiness in any way. Nay, it will not
only, not interfere with their rights and hap
piness, but it will tentl to promote directly
their welfare, by promoting tlm happiness
ot the whole. Or, for example, the em
ployment of tire farmer may be pursued
not only without interfering with the
rights or privileges of the mechanic, the
physician, or the merchant, but it will di
rectly contribute to their welfare, and is
hidispensible to it. The employment of
the physician not only contributes to the
support of himself and family, but to the
welfare of the Community. It not only
does not interfere with the rights and hap
piness of the farmer and the mechanic,
but it tends directly to their advantage.—
The employment of the merchant in law
ful traffic, not only contributes to his sup
port but is directly beneficial to the whole
agricultural community; for, as has been
well said, 'the merchant is the friend of
mankind.' lie injures no man, at the
same time that he benefits himself; and
he contributes to the welfare of the com
munity by promoting a healthful and de
sirable exchange of commodities in dif
ferent parts of the land, and of various
natures. The same is true of the mechan
ic, the mariner, the schoolmaster, the leg
islator, the book-maker, the day laborer,
the lawyer and the clergyman,.
Now, we maintain that the traffic in ar
dent spirits, as a drink, is a violation of
this wise arrangement. It tends to sap the
foundation of the whole economy. It is
solely to benefit the trafficker, and it tends
to evil, evil only, evil continually. If ev
ery man should act on this principle, soci
ety could not exist. If every man should
choose an employment that should neces
sarily and always interfere with the peace,
and happiness, and morals of others, it
would at onec break up the organization.
It every manufacturer should erect a man
ufactory, as numerous as our distilleries
and dram-shops, that should necessarily
blight every farm, and produce sterility in
its neighborhood, every farmer would re
gard it as an unlawful employment; and
if pursued, the business of agriculture
would end. If a physician could live only
by diffusing disease and death, who would
regard his as a moral employment? If a
mariner could pursue his business from
this port to Calcutta or Canton, only by
importing the plague in every return voy
age, who would deem it an honorable em
ployment? If an apothecary could pur
sue his business only by killing nine per
sons out of ten of those with whom he had
dealings, who would deem it a lawful busi
ness ? If a man can get a living in his
• •
employment only by fitting out a privateer
and preying upon the peaceful commerce
of the world, who will deem it a lawful
employment? If a man lives only to
make a descent on the peaceful abodes of
Africa, and to tear away parents from
their weeping children, and husbands from
their wives and homes, where is the man
that will deem it a moral business? And
why not ? Does he not act on the same
principle as the man who deals in ardent
spirits —a desire to make money, and that
only ? The truth is, that in all these ca
ses there would be a violation of the great
fundamental law on which men must agree
to live together in society —a violation of j
that great, noble, and benevolent law of .
our organization, by which an honest em
ployment interferes with no other, but
may tend to diffuse blessings in the whole
circle of human engagements. And the 1
THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 1860.
One of them was thrown beneath the
locomotive and the train, which passed over
her, doing, however, no apparent injury,
although when picked up, and when our
informant left, she appeared to be almost
lifeless. The other was thrown with great
force down the embankment, and was nut
discovered until some minutes afterwards,
the passengers supposing that there had
been but one victim. This child was
struck in the face from the right temple
downwards, and was instantly killed.
Some of the gentlemen passengers laid
the bodies side by side on the grass. It
was an affecting and terrible sight to see
the little ones, who but a few moments be
fore were walking hand in hand in life, now
dead aud dying upon that sad spot. The
parents of the children, attracted by the
stopping of the train and the outpouring
of the passengers, approached the ground
slowly and in utter ignorance of what had
happened.
When the truth became apparent, it may
easily be conceived how terrible were their
feelings. The sudden shock of horror was
almost too much for their reason, and the
traffic in ardent spirits is just as much a
violation oi tnis law. as in any of the ca
ses specified.
2. llivery man is bound to pursue such
a business- as to c//;./- n al:utile ro.isu!-
cr/ition for that which lie receives from
others. A man who receives in trade the
avails of the industry of others, is under
obligation 10 restore that which will be of
real value. lie receives the fruit of toil ;
he receives that which is of value to him
self ; an.! common equity requires that he
return a valuable consideration. Thus tha
merchant renders to the fanner, in ex
change for the growth of. his farm, the
productions of other climes; the manufac
turer, that which is needful for the cloth
ing or comfort of the agriculturalist; the
physician, the result of his professional
skill. All thcs3 ara valuable considera
tions, which are fair and honorable sub
jects of exchange. They are mutual ac
commodation ; they advance the interests
of bodi parties. But it is not so with the
dealer in ardent spirits. lie obtains tha
property of his fellow men, and what docs
lie return? That which will make him a
happier man ? That which will benefit
Ins family? That which diffuses learning
and domestic comfort around liis family
circle ? None of these things. He gives
h:m that which is established and well
known as the source of no good, but as
tending to produce beggary and wretched
ness. Sow if this- were practiced in a:iy
other business, it would be open fraud. If
in any way you could palm upon a farmer
that which is not only worthless, but mis
chievous—that which would certainly tend
to ruin him and his family, could there be
any doubt about the nature of his employ
ment? It makes no difference here, that
the man supposes that it is for his good ;
or that he applies for it. You know that
it is not for his benefit, and you know —
what is the only material point under this
head—that it will tend to his ruin. What
ever lie may think about it, or whatever lie
may desire, you are well advised that it is
an article that will tend to sap the founda
tion of his morals and happiness, and con
duce to the ruin ol his estate, and his
body, and his soul; and you know, there
fore, that you arc not rendering him any
valuable consideration for his property. —
The dealer may look on bis gains in this
matter —on his houses, or mortgages, or
lands, obtained as the result of his busi
ness—with something like these reflec
tions r
' This property has been gained from
other men. It was theirs, honestly acquir
ed, and was necessary to promote their hap
piness and the happiness of their families.
It lies become mine by traffic which has
not only taken it away from them, but
which has ruined their peace, corrupted
their morals, sent woe and discord into
their families, and consigned them perhaps
to an early and most loathsome grave. —
This propelty lias euuie from the hard earn
ings of other men; has passed into my hands
without any valuable compensation render
ed; but lias been obtained only while 1 have
been diffusing want and woe, and death
through their abodes.'
Let the men engaged in this traffic look
upon their property thus gained; let them
survey the woe which lias attended it; and
then ask, as honest men, whether it is mor
al employment.
Two Children Killed at East Newark,
New Jersey.
Affecting Scenes. —As the seven o'clock
train from llahway, reached East Newark,
on the loth, two little girls, aged about
seven or eight years, were discovered by
the engineer walking hand in hand across
the track a short distance in advance of the
approaching ears. With commendable
alacrity he sounded the whistle for brcak
ing up, and the utmost efforts were made
to stop the train.
80 suddenly was the speed checked that
it seems almost miraculous that some of the
passengers were not injured, as they all felt
the shock sensibly. The children had just
come up an embankment, and attempted to
cross the traek diagonally just as the loco
motive reached them, and notwithstanding
the warning given by the engineer, they
kept on, and were both struck by the cow
catcher.
wildest exclamations and sobs were uttered
ly them. The mother of one of the little
ones could hardly he restrained from do
ing violence to her-elf.
.1 Lizard in a Alan s Stomach—Sin -
<jul<y Circumstance.—On Saturday a week
a live lizard, seven inches long, and two
.Hid a naii in oiicunilnx-nos, was passed
from the bowels u! Mr. Abuer 0. Yen-ill,
son of Mr. Cyrus J. Verriil, oi West Au
burn, Maine. The circumstances attend
ing this expulsion are detailed by Mr. Ver
riil, and his high charictar for veracity
and probity removes- all doubts of its real
ity, however- impossible it-may appear.—
Mr. eiriil is about twenty-three years of
age, and for the past six or seven years he
lias been in declining health, although pre
viously he had been healthy and robust.
During all this tune he has been subject to
fainting spells, sharp pains and weakness
in the region of the stomach and bowels,
and costiveness and stoppages, and, not
withstanding he has at times had an inor
dinate appetite, yet his weight has fallen
oil from one hundred and fifty pounds,
when he was sixteen or seventeen years of
age, to one hundred and thirty pounds at
the present time.
I he lizard is of the common dark color
ed and spotted species, but when it was
first expelled it was much lighter colored.
It ia probable that the reptile was drank
from a brook which runs- near a meadow
where Mr-. A srrill has been accustomed to
work.— Lewiston Falls (Mc.) Journal,
June 8.
-1 Dead Man Tells his Friends Where
he is Jfrwr-cd'. —The Madison* (Ind.) Cour
ier, of May GO, relates the following very
remarkable incident:
' Among the unfortunate flat boatmen
wrecked in the late terrible hurricane on
the Ohio, were two brothers oi the name
of Gibbons from Pittsburg. When the
boat they were on went down near Carroll
tun, one of them was rescued from drown
sng, but the other less fortunate sunk and
perished beneath the waves. The surviv
or, after waiting at Carrollton and search
ing in vain for the body, returned to bis
borne in Pittsburg. Saturday night lie
dreamed his brother, whose name was Dan
iel eame to his bedside and told him that
his dead body might be found by the side
of that of a relative who perished on the
same day and in the like manner with him
self. ('1 lie relative was on another boat
when lost.) The brother immediately
started down the river, and on reaching
this city, calling on the sexton of Spring
dale Cemetery, he found sure enough that
his brother and relative were interred side
by side in this city. This is a strange story,
but it was related to us by Mr. Gibbons
himself, who was in our office to-day, and
we have no reason to question his veracity.'
A Girl Killed While Tied To A Cow.
A terrible accident occurred in the town
oi Delhi, Delaware county, a few weeks
ago, which resulted in the death of a little
girl seven years old. The parties to the
sad occurrence were William Scott, a boy
seventeen years old, and his half-sister,
Elizabeth Doby, the victim. The boy had
been sent to take the cows to pasture, the
little girl accompanying him. lie had
with him a piece of rope, with which he
was to bring back some hay. On his way
he playfully tied one end of the rope
around the body of his sister, and the oth
er end to a cow's tail. When the cow had
proceeded a short distance in this way, fol
lowed by the girl, the latter stumbled and
fell, which so frightened the cow that she
ran off at a furious rate, dragging the poor
girl after her. After running some dis
tance the girl's head struck a solid rock,
crushing in the skull, and at- the sagje
time the cow's tail pulled out, so great was
the force of the resistance. The girl was
also badly cut around the face, neck and
head. She was taken up by the boy and
carried home, where she breathed but two
or three times and expired. The boy is
said to be rather deficient in intellect, and
it is not supposed that he realized the im
minent danger in which his sister was pla
ced by his mischievous conduct.

of Luzerne county, a few weeks ago, a
somewhat singular case was tried. The ad

his effects at ) uldic sale. Among other
things was an uncouth block of wood, sup
posed by some to be part of a cheese press,
but the true character and object of which
was unknown. David M. Ilutehmaeher
hid it off for fifteen cents, and laid it out
against the fence until night, when he car
ried it home. Subsequently he detenu u
cd to gratify bis curiosity, and accordingly
split the block open, when he discovered a
queer secret drawer, opened by the pres
sure o!. a. long rod, and containing bonds,
notes, and ochor matters, besides about
fc-,000 in gold and silver coin. It had
long been conjectured that money a:idotli :
or valuables were ccreted about the prem

the recovery of tlie contents of the block,
to test the question of rightful ownership.

BsjuThe Singapore Free Press mentions
the astonishing fact that since January,
1850, fifteen hundred Chinese have been
carried off by tigers in Johore, the end of
the Malacca peninsula. The tigers show
more than their usual cunning, and regu
larly feed on human flesh. They lurk,
close to the narrow jungle paths, and spring
out from behind on the unfortunate pas
ser-by. The Chinese have immigrated in
to the peninsula in large numbers, and
have entirely monopolized the cultivation
of gambier and black pepper. The refute,
leaves of the gambier (terra japoijieaj arc
used as manure for the pepper plant. It
is now difficult to induce coolies to work in
Johore, so great is the danger. At the
present rate of deaths the cultivation must
decline. The quantity of gambier import
ed into England annually, chiefly for dye
ing purposes, is 0000 tons.
