this be the case, the heavens will appear to;pass

miles higher; and you shall 'see her careening on
in her constant track, directed y His unerring

When the heavens and the earth were finished,

' His Crow, Shaded' with bliick hair somewhat

knit iti\rt line over his close . and brilliant eyes,

ROBBING, TILE Cuoncula!—A late 'number of
the, Washington Union., the accredited organ' of
'the Administration, contains the following extra
ordinary article recommending the sequestration
'of the Church property in :Mexico! We copy
it ,word fur word, and ask .our readers to ponder
over it carefully. The Union, says :
.. It seems that they Church has Volunteered to
supply funds for the prosecution of the war. It
is well known that in Mexico the property of the
Churches is not subject to taxation; and therefore,
whatever is contributed from this quarter is done
gratuitously. This is part of the system which .
has been indicted, in other moiler' of - giving to the
war a religious character. It is denounced as a
war of ir Gdels and heretics against the holy church,
and against Christianity. Those who are fend
lar.with our history and institutions, know full
welt that there is nothing in either hostile to t h e
Roman Church.' A high dignitary.of that estate
lishment. drawing a contrast between the United
States and other Christian communities, including
his own.has pronounced - his decisive,opinion that '
that branch of the Christian Church occupies more
advantageous ground in this touritry, and is ad
vancing
with more prosperity and solid, strength 1
among us, than in any other nation! The posi
tion and the high public estimation whir many
of, our Catholic brethren occupy, ' the int o ligenee,
patriotism and social. virtues which they' exhibit,
corroborate this statement.
i
"It is not as a religious body. but ail an en-• -
.gine . of stale, that the Catholics ofi Ifexico look . '
upon us with a hostile eye. It is far their own -
special political purporeto retain their vast
possessions, which impoverishMe nation—to sus
tain their own hierarchy.-which lords it over the
people—to preserve their .power, - Which Weigh 4
down the rest of the community intothe slough of,
ighorance and slavery—that they arc thus solici.
tons and active. It is a zeal for thelmammon of
nnrigh tousne.ss--not for the welfare of ;outs—
. which nspires and , animates' the Catholics of
Mexico ! - - ,
- • ,
M I Ws. aspect - of the case, it may become a
mottel of grave consideration. if the church con
linues4 oppose a veace and furnish the fuel of
war, whether the immense reccnues of Me church
in .next J2n shall be untouched—whether they
shall be s'uffired to remain at the disposal of the
enemy,and'be applied to sustain the war against
us—whether -justice and policy do pot'equallie
'dictate' that they should at least be sequestered
during the continuance of me war as a legitimate
means Of cutting of the cnemy'ssupplies."
The plain:English of the aborie was expressive
of an intention, on the part of the Administration,
to pi Ila ke , the Marches in Mexico? These churches,
it is well known,, contain a vast amount of trea
sure, lavished upan thorn in decorations by the
religious.zeal of the people.
The indignation that this exhibition of vandal. /
istn hoe excited throughout the country, has been
intense'! The be:ter feelings of the community
are outraged ! The Union has since attetnpted
to smooth over the.article, but it will notr i .l/ The

The wife, on her4ntirriage, is considered to bej
dead to her fath‘r'a house; and some time after,
perhaps about ttree months, she will revisit her
former home and her acquaintance - with the
family, as thoeigh e had teen an entire stranger.
From this Wind metho.l of contracting marriages,
as might be expected, roost totter dlSappointments
-often-ensue; and are sometimes attended with de.
p!orable results. Ladies who had been well
brought up. and perhaps received a good education
on .finding themselves linked for life with Men of
bard and unsuitable character, have been driven by
despair to suicide. - A lady was' once describing
the wretched life she led in consequence of an
arsorted marriage; and four unmarried women
who heard tier story were so affected by it that,
fearing they might experience a similar fate, they
went and drowned themselves in the tank. •
Women, un their marringe; - lorre their given
and their husband's name for a-surname. •
It is rare to find 11 man of twenty-five years,-who
has not been married.- In Tinned, when rrtiei;
are too poor to get mirried, the peoplewill dome- .
times make a.collection to enable them to do so.
Personal of the same nametare . not allowed to
intermarry, even though they he not related, nei
ther may two.brathers marry two sisters.
Haw To n e,ll err:— Do all the good you can.
Whenereiyou hear of a e ,poor widow., au orphan
child..or an aged insn who is affliction, pay that
individual a visit. Do not hoard up all you earn;
give a certain portion of your pioperty to the poor,
Never get angry: If you are slandered or imposed
upon, better'suffer a little, than retaliate and use
harsh language!. Be not proud or selfish. Think
no more highly of yourself and your talents than
you do of the capacities of others. Pat all you
owe. Keep out of debt. Haye nothing to do
With lawyers. Get net entangled in thee meshes
of the laws ; •avoid :it as the sure gate, to ruin.—
, Shun vicious pursuits and unprincipled associates.
,Honor the Sabhoth, serve God. and be'devnted to
..truth and religit.n. Finally take som.i.Useful pa
psi: pay for it in adyanee, and read it attentively,
and our word (mit you will be happy. Peace and
contentment will smile in your path. joy dance on
your coOnienance, and every lane of life before you
will be fiaright with blessings rich and abundant.'
