EXPLORATIONS AND ADVENTURNS IN HONDURAS;
comprising Sketches of travel in the gold re
gions of Manch% and a review of the History
and general resources of Central America.
With original maps, and numerous illustrations.
By William V. Wells. Bvo., pp. 588. New

1857.. •
This is a very valuable contribution to our
knowledge respecting the interior of a Central
American State that must speedily rise into a
first rate importance. When Mr. Squire'S work
on Honduras appeared, we commended it in the
warmest terms to our readers, as calculated to
throw a flood of light on:the general character of
the country, as well as to show that the•railroad
from Porte Caballos to the Bay of ionseea, which
he advocated, was not only feasible, but, when
constructed, was sure to revolutionize the trade
in that region of the world.' Now we are happy
in being able to say that the work of Mr. Wells
is a fitting sequel to that of Mr. Squier. The
object of Mr. Squier, after giving general infor
mation respecting the country, was mainly to ad
vocate the construction of the railroad. He al
luded to the capabilities of the country, and sta
ted the fact that gold'might be had in the prov
ince of Clench°. Mr. Wells, however, has ,per
vaded this region, and by •means of maps and il
lustrations,. he.has enabled intelligent readers to
become familiar with dhdriet ;villa he
describes as a combination of " the vegetable and
mineral wealth of New England and Virginia in
tensified ten-fold." He spent nearly a year, trav
eling mostly on mule-back upwards of a thousand
miles in the country. He thus visited thirty-eight
towns and settlements, and collected an immense•
amount of valuable matter bearing on the anti
quities of Honduras, the soil and climate, the fauna
and flora, the botany, mineralogy and social con
dition of the country. The book is well deserv
ing a mature study, and we doubt not but that it
will have an extensive circulation in England; as
Mr. Squier has drawn the attention of English
•capitalists to the State of Honduras and to.the
claims of the transit which he has so ably advo
cated.

COMMON SENSE APPLIED TO RELIGION, or The
Bible and the People. By Catherine E. Beecher,
author of "Letters to the People on Health
and Happiness," "Domestic Bconothy," &0.,
&c. 12m0., pp. 358. New -York : Harper t t
Brothers. 1857.
Miss Beecher tells us that "this work is the
result of thirty years of devotion to the training
of the human mind for the great end for which
it was created." She was led to the study ;which
has resulted in the compilation of this volume,
by feeling that in attempts at mental training,
there "were opPosing theological theorie that
seemed at war with both the common sense. and
t'ie moral sense •of mankind. In a lengthened
latroduction, Miss Beecher states very clearly
sad candidly what these theories are. She gives
a history of her own mental experiences in this
style "Up to the age of sixteen my conceptions
oa this subject were about these: that God made
me and all things, and was very greet, and wise,
and good; that he knew all. I. thought and 'did;
that because Adam and Eve disobeyed him once
only, he drove them out of Eden, and then so ar
ranged it that all,their descendants would be born
With wicked hearts, and that though this did not
seem either just or good, it was so; that I had
such a wicked heart that :I could not feel or act
right in any thing till I had a new one ; * *
that revivals were times when God, the Holy
Spirit, gave people new. hearts.; that when revi
vals came, it was best to read the Bible, and
pray, .and go to meetings, but that at other times.
it was' of little use. This last was not taught,
but was my own inference. My mind turned
from Ol t this as very disagreeable." With this
state =of mind, she contrasts the feelings and
habits of young persons who have been brought
under what she describes as a correct; system of
training in early life. The work is mainly a
compilation on the ordinary topics in .'a class
book, in mental philosophy ; and in an appendix
there is a specimen given of Miss Beecher's Theo
logico-Metaphysical yeasoning. We do not think
that,'With a fair show of clearness and simplicity
In the definitionaof the metaphysical part of this ;
volume, and of logical reasoning in the Adden
'de, we have seen any work during the last
twenty years, more replete with absurdities and
illogical Wades, nor more saturated with prin
ciples Which, if trusted to and followed up with
logical boldness, would carry Miss Beecher away
into, siepths into which she would have little de
sire ,to plunge. This is especially true of her
`reasonink at pp. 282, 288,,where she puts forth
her strength in order to transfix on a horn of a
dilemma, the theologians,. who believe the tenet
of a &Vaud tnental constitution. We have no
space, however; to enter into the controversy, nor
need 'we, for it is the old subject of Arminianism
or Pelagianism on the one hand,`agehist Angus
tinianism'or Paulism on the other hand. New
Haven tEeologians will hail this book as a mira
cle of philosophical analysis.

ISHMAND AND . HIS BANDS.-GEN. XXV :
1-18. •
Ishmael was, the son of Abraham, (G-en.
xvi 1-15,) by Hagar, an Egyptian con
cubine. As Egyptian, in the Bible, is but
a translatien of Misraim, (Comp. Gen. x
xii: 12, etc.,) we might at. once conclude,
that the Ishmaelites have COMMA affinities
to the races of Shem •and Ham, were it not
that 'we have intimations that in Egypt, a
race of shepherd kings about this time ob-,
tained the ascendancy. This may have
either been the • occasion, or cause, to some
extent, of the war of the kings of Mesopo
tamia with the tribes on the route to Egypt,
(Gen. xiv : 5,6;) and it , accounts for the
contempt in which• shepherds were held by
the Egyptians (Gen. xlvi : 340 twe centu
ries later when we may suppose the natives
'of. the soil were once •more in the ascendant.
Thus, it is somewhat doubtful whether
Hagar herself, and the wife of Iqhmael,
(Gen. xxi : 21,) were of the descendants of
Ham; yet, the probabilities, from the gen
eral impression made by the Bible history,
seem to us to favor this view. ,
The promise of God, ,(Gen. xvi : 12;
xvii : 20,) in regard to Ishmael, as well as
the use made of the history and character
of his descendants by Paul, (Gal. iv : 22--
26,) makes it evident that he is to be viewed
as the head of en, important people, who not
only mark a path for themselves among the
nations, viewed-as to their civil history, but
,as to their relation to-the moral , and religions
Aevelopment of man. Heathenism is patri- •
arebial religion,, with the loss of its spirit,
and even of much, of its early outward
form, and with the retention of only a few
vestiges of its original simplicity and truth.
Papacy, 'both Greek and Latin, has a si'mi
lar relation to primitive Christianity. Mo
hammedanism seems to blend the errors of
man in both dispensations, with a few rays
of light reflected from both through a foggy
air. Ishmael,' in his lifetime;, took the post
thin Which the great body , et the Jews
reached in the age of Paul,(Rom. xi,: 7-
28 ;) hence, the Apostle . could allegorize
(Gal. iv ; .24,) the relation of Hagar and
Ishmael to Abraham, and the improper use
they made of it. It strikingly illustrates
the relatien of the Jews to the law and ora
cles of God, and their improper dependence
of this outward relation. As the.law.was a
schoolmaster:to bring to. Christ; . and as all
'its ritual service was designed to prepare the
way for his appearing, so Ishmael and`his
Arable bands may have steod, and may yet
more fully stand, to destroy, idols, and to
point an unsatisfied humanity to Christ, in
whom :a fullness is found to meet the soul's
every exigency.
~Ishmael, IPLe Jacob, had tWelve sons, who
each became the head of• it castle and tribe.
They divelt from Havilah 'to Shur. This
Havilah must have been between Palestine
proper and =the Red Sea. Perhaps , it lay
on the path of the Jordan to the Gulf of
Elath, before the Dead Sea was formed: If
so, there is nothing improbable in the
sup position, that. Jordan (Comp. Gen. ii :_ll ;
1. Sam. xv : 7,) is the same as Pisan. As
at first a mist from the earth watered the
kgreund, so a river, or the 'rain of Eden,
watered the garden, and formed the four
most, sacred streams of the ancient cradle of
the human race. However- this may be ; -it
cannot be denied, that the Jordan has as
important relation to the religious history of
man, as any other river, of the world, nor
`that it is likely the sacred historian would
name another Havilah, with -no intimation
of it being a different one from that of
Eden', if this were the`case. The place of
residence in that age may have given ,to the
Ishmaelite some influence, in moulding other
tribes to their religion and customs.
Abraham married Keturah, as most•think,
after the death of Sarah, which took place
thirty-eight years before his own decease.
This allows ;too, short a time r as some think,
for the settlement of the sons of Keturah
-
while Abraham yet lived. The existence of
polygamy, the similar rank of Hagar and
Keturah, (v. 6, and 1. Chron. i :32,) and
the entrance of Rebekah, (Gen. xxiv : 67,)
three 'years after the death of Sarah, into
her tent, with the fact, (Heti. xi : 12,) that
Isaac was deemed the son of old age, seem
to indicate that Kettirah may have been a
conctibine as early, or even, earlier, than
Hagar.:.The great
objectioa lies in the
order of events as related by Moses. The
first verse of this chapter - Seems to be 'con
nected with the events of the two preeeding.
But, as the same conjunction stands at the
beginnings of Verses 1,5; atia - 6, anal:hay,'

often go bank to bring up events connected

THE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCATE:
marries two wives from chief families of a
tribe of Hittites, who dwelt in Mount Seir.
—Gen. xxxvi : 2-20-30. After Jacob
had supplanted him in his father's affection,
he married a third wife, (Gen. xxviii : 9,)
a daughter of Ishmael, and thug opened the
way still farther for his own descendants to
be lost in those of his uncle and father-in
law. At first, we find fourteen tribes of
Edomites, (Gen. xxxvi : 15-19,) and seven'
tribes of Horites, (v. 29, 30,) in all, twenty
one tribes. These, however, are reduced to
eleven, (v. 40-430 a little later in their
history; perhaps when the Horites are de
stroyed, (Dent. ii : 12,) who at first (Gen.
xxxvi.,) seem to have constituted, under
several kings, one people with the children
of 'Esau. Though the children of Edom,
like those of Lot, did retain much longer
than the children of Ketnrah, a distinot
nationality, or a separate tribal organization,
yet long before the appearance of Christ,
they are lost in one people, upon which
Ishmael has, stamped the - proPlietio °haute
ter ascribed to hint by the Angel of Jehovah.
• Thus the Ishmaelite, like the German; or
rather the Anglo-Saxon; has givenlangnage,
laws, and religion to 111 the tribes and
nations within the range of lheir territory
and influence; and they have constituted
one stream of history which •flowed down
through all ages, and which is still flowing

controvertable testimony of the truth of 'the
words of the Angel of Jehovith,‘(Geii.'xvi
120 tonhcr mother cof the first t andwgreat
head 'of all the Arab tribes.. For. confirma-
tion of the fact, that 'it is 4the,ilesign of
Scripture history to make Ishmael, as well
as Isaac, the head of a numerous and dis : .
tinct . people, we may add to the general im
pression of the history; of Abraham, found
in the book of Genesis,. the 'distinct-state
meat by the author of Chrenieles, (1. Chitin.
28,) that the two sons to be counted.to
Abraham are those named. •
The student of Scripture hißtory will be
interested to notice the fact, that while
Isaac; the promised heir, has only two sons
by one. wite, and only, one of these is,
counted for the seed, Ishmael has tielve
sons and' a daughter by one:wife—the same
number given to'Jacob with. his four ' wives.
Thus, the Bible, in the narrative ot the
facia, as they occurred in ,the family of
Abraham, at once teaches, that God doe's
not intend, oldie bya numerous'carnal seed,
to increase Church ; and that the stamp
of his disapprobation is upon polygamy, as a
means of increasing the - strength or, the
family. Could the millions of the followers
of the Arab prophet of Mecca, who now
read the Koran, only be induced to open
the Bible, and read of Ishmael, whose name
they so much revere, might it not make a,
change upon their entire social condition ?
Ishmael, whose name s figures largely in the
sacred ' books of Islamism, was the husband
of one wife, yet the father of titelve sees,'
and of a daughter, who linked another
numerous family to her father's;, Moham
med, who'was the husband of 'fifteen wives,
had but five eons and four daughters. None
ofved liayUnit
had he a daughter, save one, who lived to
give a successor to rule her father's' empire.
Thus, we may see the sUitableness of the
Bible to overturn the pillars of the social
system founded upon the Koran; , and .with
this, would fall the religion of the Turk,
and of their allied tribea and nations.

" **Other is not willing I &wild . go."
This remark , was made in the writer's•
hearing, a 'shert time since, by an intelli
gent amiable, youth, in reference to attend
ing a place of worship where it is believed
error is taught, and as it involves a most
implrtant principle, is worthy of a passing
notice.
Obedience to parents is surely not a
peculiarly prevalent principle withihe young
of the present day, but wherever it is seen,
gives large promise of future good. Where
is the, young man who seeks the counsel of,
an experienced father; or defers to, the
advice- of a—judicious.mothers? Happy,
indeed, were such instances common.
Eager for selfish gratification, thirsting
for riches or fame;, many have no sooner
entered upon the theatre of life than the
maxims of prudence are scornfully flung
aside, and a reckless career begun, regard :
less of. consequences. Thus it is we see
multitudes of the rising generation casting
off the fear of God and man, while licenti
ousness and fritud, distrust and ruin abound.
Parents, see to it that you exercise
watchful care over your children, esndaia4
your sons. Seek first of all their conver
sion to ',Christ, and seek it early, before
Satan and the world have gained dominion
there. Seek it in sincerity; for they will
read your inmost thoughts Daily commend
them to your gracious Redeemer, and set
before them a consistent, godly exanirile, and
you may expect the Divine blessing on your
instructions and training.
I cannot but think that the secret of so
much wickedness abroad is to be found in
the many irregular, ill-appointed homes of
the young.. -
If every young man could say, "
Afy
mother as not tailing I should go to the
club-room, to the theatre, to the gaming
table; to the:many haunts of vice, and places
of sinful amusement to be found on every
hand, and refrain his feet from going, how

for the American ifessenger. We would ,
that our impenitent readers would lay it to

yearn over them and long for their turning
Beloved youth, when I, who am oia, look
upon your condition, :I cannot but pity you.
Ido not envy your gaiety, and pleasure. The

the sins of youth is an unwelcome visitant,

attention to your soul's salvation. This you
cannot bat know is your great, your highest
interest. And why do you neglect it? Why
do you put far off the evil day Your con-.
tinuance on earth is altogether uncertain.
Prepare I beseech you to meet your God.
"Behold, now is the accepted time, now is
tbe day of salvation." You will lose no
thing, but be great gainers, by giving your
hearts to God in the days of your youth.
"Wisdom's ways are ways of pleasantness,
and t.ll her paths are peace."
A good conscience, and a lively hops of
everlasting life, are the purest sources of joy
upon earth. When affliction falls upon the
pious—and they are, dot exempt--there is-a
gracious promise , that it will be for their
good; , yea, that it will work out for them
an " exceeding and eternal, weight of glory."
Let the summons of death come when it
will; they are ready. The day of death to
such is far ; better than the, day of their birth.

years, between the flannel and anti.flannel

Mothers that are Wanted.
It is a blessing and an advantage, utterly
incalculable, to have for a mother a woman
of sense, superiority, and goodness; with
force of character; with talents and clever
ness; of solid information; with tact, tem
per, patience, and skill fitted to train and
mould the mind, to implant principles, and
awaken a lofty and laudable ambition; and
all this presided over and purified by re
ligions faith, deep piety, and earnest devo
tion: These are the mothers that the
Church and the world alike want. The
destinies of the race depend more on its
future inothers,than on anything else; that
is to say, on the sort of women t*ltt young
girls and young ladies are to be made into,
or into which they will make themselves;
and the sort of wives that young men will
have the sense to, prefer, the judgment to
select, and the happiness to secure. There
is nothing so little thought of by the young,
and .no single thing, that would be in its'
issues of such moment, as for the .one sea
to remember that they are born to be the
makers of future men; and for the other to
feel that what th 4 want in marriage are not
meiely mates for themselves, but mothens for
their children. Clever women are of more
importance. to the world,than clever men. I.
refer, of course, not to illustrious iadividu
als OD whom society depends for advance in
the arts, in , legislation, or in science; who
extend the boundaries of knowledge, who
receive and pass the torch of genius,
perpetuate eloquence,.or preserve truth. I
refer to the culture and strength that may
distinguish' the general mind; the - charac
teristics of the mass of men,„und women
who constitute societyiund from whoui not
only posteritY, as a' whole, *ill receive• an
impress, but among whom the individual
hero, too, must be born and
,bred. On the
two suppositions, that all men were clever,
and all women .weak, or• that all the women
were superior, and all• the men fools, there
would be by far-the 'best prospect for the
world on.the • latter alternative, both with
respect to the general condition of the race,
and the appearance of those, who should be
personally eminent for ability ; and genius.
The mother has most to do
.with all, that
awakens the young spirit in its early fresh
ness, and that makes that child , that is to be
the "father to the man;" and she gives
perhaps more of - theimpress of her whole
being, rysical and mental, to the original
constitution and 'capacitiei of her offspring.
Weak men with superior wives have had
sons distinguished by very high intellectnal
ability; but rthe greatest men with fools for
their portion have seldom been anything
but, the fathers of fools. The great Lord
Bacon was the representative of one that
would have been memorible ntid - illustrious
but for the, gigantic and overshadowing
genius of, his son. His father, Sir Nicholas,:
was twice, married; his first wife was L a weak
woman, and bore nothing but a mean, and
poor intellectnal offspring; his second was
distinguished, and superior; ; a wontan , of
capacity, of strong sense, mental .culture,
and great energy; she ,was the mother of
Bacon --:kev. ,Binney .

DR. CALVIN 31. FITCII,
Will remain at the ST. CIiAIR ROTEL, Pittsburgh, Pa., till
SA'rIIRDAY EVENING, JULY, 18th, where he may be con
sulted by those- wishing to avail themselves of Dr. C. M.
Fitch'saystem of treatment.
The combination of remedial measures adopted by Dr.
Fitch and Dr. Sykes has been amply tested, and so abund
antly proved to be in practice all that it claims to be in
theory, that its originators do not beiritele to assert, that by
their system, relief may beyoblitined in all cases not abso
lutely beyond the reach of remedies.
By this. plan of treatirient,. the advantage of Medicinal
and Sthenotrophie Inhalations is addmi to that of appropri
ate internal remedien, to renovate and sustain the trength
of the general +Patera, and these with such mechanical,
means tie the case may indicate, Joined to proper attention
to exercise, diet; bathing, friction, fie., &a, will not only
ifford more or lees relief in almost all cases, but mill effect
permanent cures in'many cm es in which only partial and
t 'mporary ;relief could be obtained, from any one of the
above measures singly. B,ut, although many otherwise fatal
cases oreonstimption+ May be Muth relieved,' there are'still
many which have passed beyond hope; and thosi who are 1
in any way'incliiiedto it disease so insidious, and so fearful
ly fatal as consumption, carnet be toncareful to give -their,
cases timely attention. The delay even of a few weeks may,
in inanymasee, turn the scale against the - patient.
Where it Is posatble, we always prefer to make &personal
examine/fon and 'thus ascertain the precise condition of the
Lungs as we.wish to under take no ease where we have not
a chance of doing good; and we wish no one to consult us
who is not 'inky to hear the' truth. •
Those unable to ,visit us. will, in writing. be careful to
state their eines fully, answering. at length, our published
list of questions, .which will be sentto any requesting it;
and the necessary remedies, as well for diseases of the
Lungs and Stomach, as for Female Ditetassa, may be sent by
Express to almost any pert of the United States. ,
