NOAH'S CURSE AND BLESSINCL-GEN. ix : 25-27
God often magnifies his mercy, by bring
ing good out of the evil done by man. Thus,
Joseph, sold as a slave by cruel hearted
brothers, by that very step was enabled to
rise to be second ruler in Egypt, and to be
a savior to his father's house. Thus, the
fall of man prepared the way for the won
derful scheme of redemptiort, by which God
is more glorified than by creating a universe.
So here, the sin of Noah over his wine cup
became the occasion of the announcement
of the leading facts of the religious and
political history of the human race for ages.
The good, however, which God brings out
of the evil, does neither excuse the criminal,
nor even palliate the guilt of his sin.
Noah, perhaps a century after the fiood,
"became drunken ; and he was uncovered
in his tent." Canaan, his youngest grand
son, who had now come to years of moral
accountability, was perhaps guilty of some
indignity to his aged grand-parent. Ham
saw it; but, as too frequently happens, false
parental affection triumphed over filial, and
led him, instead of reproving his son, to
magnify and complain of his father's con
duct. Japheth and Shem, as soon as the
facts are known, with modest delicacy of
affection, strive to cover up, or wipe away
their father's disgrace. When Noah awoke
to consciousness, he uttered a curse and a
blessing, according to the acts of his chil
dren.
Perhaps the dark aspect alone in the
future of Ham's descendants is presented;
and the bright alone in the future of the
races of the two filial.bearted sons. Though
the words of Noah are prophetic, and
prophecy is a kind' of miracle, yet in one
sense it required no miraculous indorsement
to forsee, and no miracle to fulfill the events
predicted. The conduct of Ham, carried
out by his race, would morally, socially, and
politically curse and degrade them from gen
eration 'to generation. While, on the ocher
hand, the reverence of Japheth and Shem
for their venerable and aged father, imitated
by their descendants, would elevate and en
noble them, and make them the rulers of
the world. No family, happiness can be
found; and no reasonable hope of national
greatness and glory can be entertained, where
children do not respect their parents; and
where they are disposed to make the most
of their foibles, in order to find fault, and
the least 'of their virtues, in order to with
hold a just tribute of praise.
But because a social and political curse is
announced against the race of Him, and
especially that of Canaan, we are not, there
fore, to conclude, that either the fathers, or
individuals of the races, were necessarily
cast beyond' the pale of ? the mercy of God
in redemption. Nor are .we .to affirm that
all which befell the descendants of Ham was
the result of bis one act of disrespect to his
pious, yet erring father. The Canaanite.s
were slain or banished their country by
Moses and Joshua, not because of ancestral
sins, but because their own "iniquity was
full." The same will be found true of the
degradation which has rested upon, or the
tiestruction which has thinned the rank of
the Ethiopian in every age and portion of
the world.
Canaan gave name to the country which
has become a blessed type of the believer's
home in the skies; so it is not incredible
that he himself, through the wonderful
grace of God, might be made heir of the
heavenly, as he was for a time of the earthly
possession. Sham was still alive when
Abraham returned from the slaughter of
the kings; so may Canaan, the youngest son
of Ham, have been. He may have repented
of his own youthful errors, and may have
striven to avert the curse of God threatened
against his race. In this he failed, as al.
most always happens even with pious parents,
where their example has been, or is, against
their precept. But, in the evening of his life,
he may possibly still have attained to great
eminence in piety. ' Thus, for anything we
know to the contrary, he may have been
Melehisedec, the " righteous king " of
Salem, dwelling in the midst of his family,
and receiving tithes of Abraham, as a resi
dent of the country over which he ruled.
This seems the more likely, not only front
his local residence, but from the fact that
sacred penmen seem to be everready to note
the interest which great sinners, such as
Thamar, and Rehab, and Bathsheba, and
Manasseh, end others like them, have in the
great salvation. The account which Paul
gives of Melchisedec, would apply to any
patriarchal king and priept wFinse 2Tnealegy
us not noted, and who might thud Lo a.uuuß
nent type of Christ. It is as likely that
Moses would omit the proper name of the
son of Ham, on whom rested the heaviest
weight of the curse of Noah, as that of any
other priestly prince which could be
thought of.
The blessing of Noah is more remarkable,
more extensive, and more interesting than
the curse. To Shem, his second son, he
announced a speciaheovenant relation, not
only with the Nou n the Gdd who had
pointed to the bow in the cloud as'a token
of peace with humanity, but with Jehovah,
Elohim., the Lord God, the self cxistent, and
the se//revea/cd. God. This explains why
Jehovah is said (Ex.. vi : 3.) to be first re
vealed in its full import-to Moses, the earliest
inspired penman of the. Bible, and the
author of a larger and more important part
of it than any separate part which followed.
For in one sense, Prophets, Evangelists, and
Apostles, are but inspired commentators on
Moses, the, wonderful author of all antedi
luvian and patriarchal history, and the great
law receiver of Sinai. Thus we find, in
every part of revelation which follows, a
constant appeal to what is found in the law;
or if not a direct appeal, there is at least a
reference to it as the foundation of a subse
quent and fuller development. The special
covenant relation predicted was entered into,
and became an event of history in the tenth
veneration from Shem. The promise then
given to Abraham in regard to the Messiah,
and a salvation through him by the right
eousness of faith, was not annulled by the
law four hundred and thirty years after,
but rather confirmed, that it might be met
in Christ, who is the end of the law fur
righteousness to every one that believeth.
Great political power is predicted of.
Joseph; but it is by dwelling in the tents
of Shem that he attains to it; and it is only
after this that Canaan becomes his servant.
Thus, the blesSings of the covenant God 9f
Show underlay the eventual promotion of
the race of Japheth, the union with them of
the descendants of Shona, and the servitude
of the children of Noah's youngest son.
Therefore, if affinity and servitude are not
made subservient to the great end for which
it is allowed, to wit, the blessedness and
glory of the redeeming God of Sham; then
sin lies at the door, and must meet its pun
ishment in him who commits it, though
God, through the actor, may be fulfilling
some of his wonderful purposes.
It is remarkable that the greatest dunes
of the historian's pen should have been
drawn more than four thousand years avo,
had
almost before the postdiluvian world ad
a history. We are but copying them when
we-write the present history of down-trodden
Africa; when we narrate the expansive en
ergy of the Christian and Protestant Aglo-
Europeans ; when we tell how they are ex
tending the sceptre of their influence, both
toward the rising and the setting sun; and
bow they are making their home with the
Shemetic people of the islands of the Pacific,
of ilindostan, and of the empire of China,

P. S.—lt is our object in. these Bible
Narratives, to lead, if possible, those who
read them, to a careful perusal of the Bible;
and also to bring the - reader to exercise his
own judgment upon the interesting facts re
corded in the only early authentic annals of our
race. Hence, we sotuctiines make plausible
suggestions, as in the Bible Narrative, No.
11, which the r ditor has kindly noticed.
Then, we state, as at the beginning of the
fourth paragraph, that which ilea, or is gen
erally considered as lying, on the surface of
the sacred record.
The suggestive remarks of the editor give
us the opportunity of noticing some little
incidents in regard to the food of Primeval
and Antediluvian man, which we passed
when treating of that subject, and of which
the reader may not have thought.
The grant in Gen. i : 29, is not, as the
editor thinks, plain, " every herb," and
" every tree;" but " every seed-bearing
herb,' and "every fruit-bearing tree."
"Eery green herb" is to be food for beast,
and fowls, and creeping thing. The
most natural conclusion from these two
grants is, that so far as vegetable nature is
concerned, man is confined to grain and
fruit; and the food of animals is to be the
grasses.
In the covenant of works, two trees were
excepted from this grant.—Gen. ii : 17-22.
The curse of sin drove man to eat the herb
of the field, (Gen. iii : 21; ix : 3,) which
had been allotted to lower orders of animals.
Sin was also the occasion of the skins of
animals being appropriated for wan's cloth
log, and the fat for a type of a vicarious
atonement. Thus, the questions might be
asked, whether the "dominion" given to man
without limit (Gen. i : 23,) did not give the
right to use for any purpose to which man
aright be guided by the piinciples of his
nature ? Does the law of food, in close
connexion with man's unlimited dominion
over the animal creation; necessarily confine
him to'grain and fruit? If so, did the fall
not modify this grant to "man primeval F"
Is it not natural to consider the law of domin
ion, and food given to Noah (Gen. ix: 2-4,)
as a re-publicatirar of tile first law, (which
might ea called a law of nature, as suited
to unfafleu creatures,) with some explana
tions needed by wan as a sinner? Would
not the curse of the grotind, reraovertat
least to some extent in the deluge, (Gen. v
29,) make the re•publication of tbiS early
law natural, without supposing that animal
food was now first allowed ?
We admit the canon of interpretation
mentioned by the editor to be correct; but
do not consider its application to exclude
animal food to the race till the days of Noah,
to he quite as plain as some commentators
have thought. G: W. S.

The Right way to Read
Wben the; late Jeremiah Evarts Was in
the fifth year of his age, he came to his
father, and asked him for a new book. Ills
father asked him if the last book ho had giv
en him was worn out. "Oh, no,
sir," said
Jeremiah, " but I have read all the sense
out of it." Ile meant to say, that he had
rend it thoroughly, and had made himself
master of all the ideas it contained.
That is the right way to read, in order to
profit by reading. By reading in that way,
Jeremiah Evarts made great improvement,
and became one of the wisest and most use
ful men our country has produced. He nev
er took up a book and allowed ibis eyes to
rest on the page, while his thoughts were
wandering from one thing to another, so as
only now and then to get an idea of what
was written. Be never took up a book for
the sake of passing away time. He took
the advice of those, who were wiser than he,
and read only good books, and he read "all
the sense out of therii." He had fewer
books than young persons have now; but, by
pursuing a thorough method of reading, be
made greater mental progress than is made
by Inany'who have every advantage they can
desire.
He not only confined his reading to good
hooks ; and read them attentively and thor
ouguly, but, he thought over what he read.
Thinking improves the wind more than read
ding. Reading should be made the occa
sion of, and an aid to thinking.
The reader, I dare say, desires to have a
good mind. Mental power commands re
spect and is a. great instrument for doing good.
He should remember that the amount of
mental improvement which one makes, de:
pends in a great measure upon himself.
Teachers can do very little for him who is
not willing to lint fdrth the effort necessary

for improvement. Reading the best books,
and only . the best books, is one' of the means
of improvement.. •
, 'Methinks I hear a lad say, "I will make
more improvement by means' of reading,
than I have done. What is the first thing
I must do ?"
I will tell you. Before you read any book, I
ask some intelligent friend -whether it is a
good book or not—whether itr will do .you
good to read it. .
Perhaps you will say, "I find it hard work
to read auy book that does not contain an
interesting story. I begin to read, but be
fore i . get to the bottom of the page, I for
get what I am readin . .. , t ' about. How can I
fix my attention, and keep it fixed?"
I answer by trying, and trying harder and
harder. When you begin a page, resolve
that you will keep your Attention fixed till
you get to the bottom of it, or to the end of
the section. If you find your attention flag
ging, try the harder to keep it fixed. If
you find that it has gone off before you knew
it, go back to the beginning of the page or
section, and persevere till you can read it
from beginning to end with fixed attention.
By that means you will soon form a habit
which will enable you to fix your attention
on a train of reasoning as closely and con
tinuously as on an interesting narrative.
Some young persons say they have read a
book through when they have "skipped half
of it. No good comes from such reading.
If the book is a- bad one, the 'whole of it
should be skipped ; if it be a good one, "all
ttbe sense, should be read out of it."--1V: Y.

How Coffee came to be Used:
It is somewhat singular to trace the man
ner in which arose the use of the common
beverage of coffee, without which, few per
sons, in any half or wholly civilized country
in the world, now make a breakfast. At
the time Columbus discovered America, it
had never been known or used. It only
grew in Arabia and Upper Ethiopia. The
discovery of its use as a beverage, is as
cribed to the superior of a monastery, in
Arabia, who, desirous of preventing the
monks from sleeping at their nocturnal ser
vices, made them drink the infusion of cof
fee upon the report of shepherds, who ob
served that theirflocks were more lively after
browsing on the fruit of that plant. lts rep
utation spread through the adjacent coun
tries, and in about two hundred years it had
reached Paris. A single plant brought there
in 1714, became the parent stock of all the
French coffee plantations in the West Indies.
The Dutch introduced it into Java and the
East Indies, and the French and Spanish all
over South America and the West Indies.
The extent of the consumption can now
hardly be realized. The United States alone
annually consume it at the cost on its land
in.. of from fifteen to sixteen millions of
dol
lars. That of tea is a little over eight mil
lions of dollars. You may know the Arabian
or Mocha, the best coffee, by its small
bean of a dark yellow color. The Java and
East Indian, next in quality, are larger and
of a paler yellow. The West Indian and ltio
has a bluish or greenish-gray tint.
Health for Children.
There are as many children die in cities
as in the country, and half the children born
do not reach ten years. Such aresult could
never have been intended by the wise and
kind Maker of - us all. A different result
must be brought about, by the exercise of
the reason which is implanted in all parents,
andwhich, if properly cultivated and practised
the lights of our time, would soon work a
wonderful change in infantile mortality.
1 Children should sleep in sperate beds,
on mattresses of straw or shucks of corn.
2. Require them to go to bed at a regular
early hour, and let them have the fullest
amount f sleep they can take, allowing
them in no case to be waked up. .
3. Except a rug beside the bed, there
should be no carpet on the floor of their
chamber, no bed or . window curtains, no
clothing of any description banging about,
no furniture beyond a dressing-table and a
few chairs, no standing fluids, except a glass
of water, and nothing at all in the way of
food, or plants, or flowers. In short, a
chamber should be the cleanest, driest, cool
est, lightest and most barren room in the
house, in order to secure the utmost purity
of air possible.
4. Make it your study to keep your chil
dren out of doors every hour possible, from
breakfast until sundown, for every five min
utes so spent in joyous play increases the
probabilities of a healthful old age.
5. Let them eat at regular hours, and,
nothing between meals; eating thus, never
stint them; let them partake of plain sub
stantial food, until fully satisfied. Multi
tudes of children are starved into dyspepsia.
The last meal of the day should be at least
two hours before retiring.
6. Dress children, warmly; wollen flannel
nest their persons during the whole year.
By every consideration, protect the extrem
ities well. It is an ignorant barbarism which
allows a child to have bare arms, and legs,
'and feet, even in Summer.. The circulation
should be invited to the extremities; warmth
does that; chid. repels it. It is at the bands
and feet we begin to die. Those who have
cold hands and feet are never well. Plen•
ty of warmth, plenty of substantial food and
ripe fruits, plenty of . sleep, and plenty of
joyous out door exercise, would save Millions
of children, annually.—Hall's N. Y. Jour

To Clean Light Colored Kid Gloves.
The common burning fluid (turpentine
and alcohol mixed) used in lamps, is the best
liquid that can be used to clean kid.gloves.
Put the glove on the hand to which it be
longs, then dip a small piece of clean sponge
in a little of the liquid,—which may be
poured into a cup for convenience—and rub
all the spots on the glove until the grease
and dirt are removed from it, then take it off
and lay it down upon a piece of white pa
per. 'Do the same with theotber glove, and
then suspend them both over a clean cord,
and dry-them in a cool place. While dry
ing they must be stretched a. little from
time to time, to prevent their shrinking.
Those who make a business of cleaning gloves,
dry them upon artificial hands, but these are
not positively necessary. Care must be ex
ercised not to clean gloves in this wanner by
candle light, or in the neighborhood of a fire,
as accidents have taken place to persons by
the ignition of the gas of the fluid. -- Snick

a very little boy who used to ask his mother

give him books, where he found all he

Agricultural.
GUANO.—It may not be as generally
known as it should be, that great danger
may be incurred by the reckless handling of
guano. We understand that cases have oc
curred of persons having cuts upcn their
fingers, who; in handling this manure, have
received a deadly poison into the system.
The guano contains an organic element,
which is just as certain to operate against
life, if it once reaches the blood, as the cor
ruption of a body that gets into a wound
upon the person of the dissector. Farmers
should be aware of this fact, and be cau
tious.

THE AERATION OF THEOOIL.—This is
one of the most important principles involved
in hoeing. It is an undoubted fact " that
the roots increase their fibres every time the
earth is stirred about them," and consequent
ly the plants themselves grow the faster,
providing, of course, fair judgment is exer
cised in directing the operation. This man
li.
ifest advantage can only be rightly attri -
ted to the supply of food thus communica d
to tae plants by promoting the admission of
atmospheric influences into the soil, and. y
the minute disintegration of the soil, its b
division and repeated stirrings making ew
and plentiful "internal superfices " in it
WATERING STOCK. —At this dry setison,
great suffering among stock, and great loss
to their owners are likely to result from an
insufficient supply of water. The impression
that dew will suffice is a great mistake.
Stock -may be seen to drink in wet seasons,
when good water is in their reach. How
much more do they need water now, when
the streams and springs are almost all dry,
and when the gr•ass itself is as dry as the
hay that stands in the stack, and when the
great heat ntakes them pant as they stand
1
in the field. ;Unless your stock ha e access
to a supply, water it all generou y twice
each day, either from wells, or at treanis;
once toward noon, and once towp :d night.
They will not need water earlyin he morn
ing, as the dew will, in general, ibe on the
grass. Sheep should have access to water.
But the milch-king, and oxen that work, and
horses, of course, need special attention.
The loss from the lack of water, or tile ex•
pense of driving a large stock to distant
streams to get it, would do much toward
making all the needful wells mid ponds fir
this purpose.

DESTRUCTION OF WEEDS IN PAVED
PATHS AND COURTS.—The growing of
weeds between the stones of a pavement is
often very injurious, as well as unsigtly.
The following method of destroying them is
adoptedi at th Mint in Paris and elsewhere,
with go l od effect. One hundred pounds of
water, /twenty pounds of quick-lime, and
two poitnds of flour of sulphur, are boiled
in an iron vessel ; the liquor allowed to
settle, the clear port drawn off, and being,
more r less diluted, according to circum
static s, is to be used for watering the alleys
and a
1
vements. The weeds will not reap
pear or several years.
This plan will probably prove effectual;
but remember that ihe liquid will be death
to the box or other plants upon the borders
of such plots or paths, if it be allowed to
reach the roots. ..

stream, and pour out their waters seething
hot, with a great noise. The waters hiss
and dash over jagged rocks, and jets of steam
hot enough to scald the hand are also forced
out. Deposits of sulpher and alum are found
in their neighborhood, and the whole ap

volcanic action.

Erskine is said to have remarked, on being

ADVERTISEMENTS.
STUTTERING A.ND.STAMBIERING
CUED, WiLhout Pain or Surgical Operation.
The readers of the Banner acid. Advccezie will recollect I
'published if notice last Winter, headed " The Last Call to
Stuttering and Stammering Persons," in which I announced
was the only chance they, would ever hare of getting cured,
and all who desired the cure should either send for it by ,
mail or ran themselves before the leth'of March, as on that
day i had made arrangements to resign my profession. and
retire from the practice. Since the 10th, I have personally
consulted forty. and sent the cure by mail to sixty indi
viduals. In every instance perfect satisfaction hue been
rendered. Injustice to all who are so unfortunate as to
stutter or stammer yet. I have thought proper to give
another opportunity of being cured, nod therefore would
respectfully request them to send me $2O, (which is less
than my usual fee,) and I will immediately send them my
cure. By so doing they save the expense of traveling. I
am a responsible man, and if my cure is not effectual 1 will
agree to refund the money. Recollect. thie cure never fails.
Address Dr. W.YOKOPE, Box 740, Pittsburgh Post Office.
There has been a floating population of imposters travel
ing the country, psofessiug to cure impediments of speech
by, my system, and many have had the audacity to advertise
In my name, and give the names of men for reference whom
they never knew or saw. When persons who stammer
called, those men would represent me, and in several in
stances produce a certificate purporting to be mine, vesting
in thorn full power and authority to practice as my Agents.
I have frequently warned the Public of these men, as they
are not in full possession of my system, aryl cannot cure.
Through untiring perseverance. I arrested two of them,
and others will sooner or later share the same fate. This
cure for. Stuttering or Stammering is one of my own
discovery, for which I have a copy right, secured by law,
and have successfully practised the same for the term of
nine years,
My references are of the highest order, such as the Medi
cal Faculty of New York, Philadelphia, and the University
of Virginia, all the Press of Pittsburgh, Washington,
Greensburg. and Uniontown. Pa., besides fifty thousand
persona. In different parts of the country.
This cure for Stuttering and Stammering is performed in
less than one hour. There is no pain or surgical operation
attending is.
The beauty of all this is, it will cure children Of five, and
adults at the age of one hundred yeas . A person who is
cured by it, can never again stutter. oven if they try. I of
fer to forfeit $lO,OOO if any person eau ever afterwards Stut
ter, by application of the cure.
It was formerly customary to dnnounce, that no pay
would be required unless a perfect cure was performed.
That was done to. 'show the people there would be no risk In
giving me a trial. Bet now, inasmuch as the leading eiti,
semi of Pittsburgh, know my cure never fails, it would be
superfluous to make another such announcement.

Nature Inds no new enemy to combat with this delightful
